Turbulent Times Chapter 1083: Go to Liaodong

Therefore, it is not difficult for Wang Junlin to guess. Even if other generals and courtiers do not have such detailed and accurate maps in their hands, there must be many people who have raised objections to the battle plan formulated by Yang Guang.

But so far, in the information sent by Xu Jingzong and Shen Guang, there is no mention of anyone going to Yang Guang about this matter, and no one dared to bring it up.

Obviously no one wants to annoy His Majesty the Emperor and get killed.

In addition, Yang Guang still ignored the life and death of the people below, and demanded that all the troops be ready within three months, all the military equipment should be in place, all the food and grass should be in place, and the more than three million laborers must also be on time. The registration of points is in place.

The army is fine, the military order is like a mountain, once the order is issued, no matter how tight the time is, how many difficulties and troubles there are, it will be compulsively put in place.

Yang Guang also made solid preparations for equipment, food and grass for several years. The tax revenue of counties and counties increased again and again, just to conquer Goguryeo.

However, in the past few years when all kinds of forced labor have made the common people seething with dissatisfaction, Wang Junlin is very clear about what it means to recruit more than three million laborers from all over the country.

This is undoubtedly a further loss of the foundation of the Sui Dynasty's rule-the popular support, and pushed the people to the opposite side one step further, becoming an existence like enemies of the government and the court.

It is conceivable that this is actually the case. During the recruitment process of more than 3 million people, many people will die, and many families will be destroyed because of this. Fighting, the cowardly become refugees, and the brave become bandits, bandits, thieves, and water thieves.

"My lord, according to the information we have, the first batch of the Liao army has set off from various places on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Each army is 40 miles apart, and the battalion is advancing gradually." Shen Guo, who had already rushed back from Goguryeo Shen Guo'er immediately devoted himself to the conquest of Goguryeo. After more than a year in charge of information, Shen Guo'er's work became more and more careful and comprehensive. Many problems had already been considered in advance without Wang Junlin saying much.

Wang Junlin knew that he could not prevent Yang Guang from conquering Goguryeo, so he had to secretly prepare according to the established plan. On the surface, the navy conquered Goguryeo, but he didn't have to worry about it. Zhao Chen, the head of the navy over there, tried his best not to let him intervene, but he was naturally too lazy to put on a show.

"Is there anything special about it?" Wang Junlin couldn't help asking, remembering the various farces that Yang Guang made during his conquest of Goguryeo in the original history.

Shen Guoer thought for a while, and said: "According to our spies in Liaodong, the emperor ordered each army to play one drum at the front. , two gold certificates each, one for blowing at the back, two for scratching, four for song flute and eggplant, one for festival drum, four for Wu Chui's dumb case, four for each flute, eighteen big horns, several small horns, one required Playing and beating on the road, the intention is to make the Goguryeo rulers and ministers hear the drum music across the sea, know the great Sui Tianwei, and come to ask for surrender without a fight."

Wang Junlin sighed, just shook his head, did not speak, Shen Guoer continued: "Because the military appearance must be maintained, the soldiers and horses should not move too fast. An altar was set up in Lishan to worship the Yellow Emperor and the gods of the past dynasties.”

"According to the speed of the army, when will the emperor reach Huaiyuan Town in Liaohe?" Wang Junlin asked while looking at the map.

Shen Guoer immediately said: "The news came from the branch of the Lanyiwei Mansion in Liaodong. According to the calculation of the speed of the army from Zhuojun to Wanghaidun, the army led by the emperor himself will reach Liaohe in the middle of next month at the earliest. Huaiyuan Town on the west bank.”

"According to His Majesty's will, I will also go to Liaodong to meet His Majesty, listen to his combat instructions face to face, and then return to Fanyang County to lead the navy to support His Majesty's army and win." Wang Junlin sneered, "Guoer, You go and prepare, then follow me to Liaodong."

"You haven't stayed for a few months, and you are going to travel far away again. You have to take care of yourself in the bitter cold land of Liaodong. You have done so many things in Fanyang County, and some things may reach Yang Guang's ears. Once I specially asked you to go to Liaodong to meet him and had to guard against it, so you must be careful with the emperor, and the powerful weapon Xiaoyu made for you called a musket, you should wear it close to your body..." Chen Danying followed Wang Junlin to the salt field, In the house, he helped Wang Junlin fasten the scarlet cloak.

"You have to be careful in Fanyang County, don't rely on your martial arts prowess and run around all day..." Wang Junlin held Chen Danying's little hand. After several months of hard work, Chen Danying finally came I had a happy pulse in a month, and I was pregnant. Although the weather was sunny, the wind blowing from northwest to southeast in Fanyang County in winter was dry and cold. He didn't want Chen Danying to come to the saltworks to deliver it, but he couldn't resist her temper after suffering such a hardship. It's just that Chen Danying is pregnant, so her temper has become a bit verbose.

Wang Junlin tightened his cloak, glanced at Perfume standing beside him, and said, "Perfume, I'm not here, you must take good care of Madam."

Perfume glanced at Yang Kongchan in the corridor outside with some jealousy, and immediately said: "Perfume knows, master don't worry."

Yang Kongchan was wearing a Confucian shirt, a sheepskin fur coat to keep out the cold, and a fur hat with a folded brim, looking like a handsome young man. She and Shen Guoer are going to follow Wang Junlin by sea to Liaodong.

When Wang Junlin and Chen Danying said goodbye, Yang Kongchan endured the cold and stood outside the corridor waiting, but secretly looked at Chen Danying outside the door, secretly speculating in his heart what Chen Danying thought of him, and what he thought of him following Wang Junlin. What exactly is Jun Lin thinking about, but in order not to be annoying, he honestly hides outside and does not go face to face.

Du Ruhui will still stay in the county to be in charge of Fanyang County's civil affairs and labor recruitment, Liu Ziming will be in charge of the army's logistics and the finance of the saltworks, and Nie Xiaoyu will be in charge of Shedao. Now Snake Island has become the most powerful force among Wang Junlin's forces.

It is a crucial link, and there are too many secrets hidden in it. Without Nie Xiaoyu personally sitting in charge, Wang Junlin is really worried.

In this way, Shen Guoer and Yang Kongchan are the only ones who can discuss with Yang Guang. Wang Junlin will make a last effort to meet Yang Guang this time, so naturally he cannot say some things to Yang Guang face to face. , but he wanted to do something to make Yang Guang take back his absurd battle plan as much as possible.

The northwest wind is strong, and there is a sea current heading south along the coast, but the current speed is not strong, which does not prevent the fleet from breaking the waves and heading east. There are yellow sand ridges in the sea to the east of the salt field, which is not conducive to the passage of large ships, but after passing this sea area and continuing to the north, there will be a tidal channel. Except for Wang Junlin's naval forces, no one else knows this deep water channel.

Along the way, he rode the wind and waves, compared the Big Dipper with the star board, and traveled northward as fast as a horse. At dawn on February 25th, Wang Junlin stood on the remodeled Wanshi ship and saw Liaodong. Silhouettes of the coast.
