The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 52
The lightning tore the dark clouds, and the dark clouds gathered again and galloped and roared in the sky. It was so dark that it was frightening.

The news of Luo Yi's rebellion made the atmosphere in Linshuo Palace extremely tense!

In the Yingwu Hall, the third hall of Linshuo Palace, Yang Tong listened to Yang Gongren's report with his face sinking like water.

Luo Yi was originally a soldier under Li Jing's command. He was appreciated by Li Jing because of his repeated military exploits, and he was promoted to the position of General Huben step by step. However, this guy is a hungry white-eyed wolf. Jing's kindness, when he caught up with Yu Wenshu's line, he immediately turned against Li Jing.

He insulted Li Jing, who was the general of Youwuwei at that time, many times, but he was often humiliated by Li Jing. Luo Yi, who held a grudge, once framed Li Jing for rebellion.Yang Guang didn't believe him at all, and sent Qi Wang Yang Wei to comfort Li Jing, saying: "Even if some people say that you covet the imperial palace and want to occupy the capital, I have no doubts."

Yang Tong knew that this Luo Yi was the Luo Yi in the Romance, but compared with Luo Yi in the Romance, he was not even half as good as others.

In the novel, the King of Beiping is mighty and powerful, and the eighteen knights of Yanyun are invincible, he is a great hero, but in reality, Luo Yi is a villain through and through, fierce, cunning, unkind, and extremely small-minded.

And in Yang Tong's view, this real Luo Yi is still incompetent.

In history, he relied on Zhuojun to stand on his own. Not only did Yang Guang conquer Goguryeo’s huge supplies and military equipment, but he also had geographical advantages. This guy's power can't go out of Zhuojun.

What is this not incompetence?
He even forgot that there is such a number one person as Luo Yi under his rule. His old brother is good, not only restless, but also attracted Khitan to the championship of Liaoxi.

After introducing Luo Yi's resume, Yang Gongren continued: "Luo Yi is very restless, and his reputation is not good at the top. General Deng Hao, the prefect of Liaoxi, did not let him go, so his army only has more than [-] people in his hands. During the battle, the general has been contained to the north of the White Wolf Water!"

"And there is not only the Great Wall between Beiping County and Liaoxi County, but also Linyu Pass. This pass is choking the throat, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as he sticks to the pass, he will not be able to attack Beiping County and Zhuo County."

"My minister has four concerns: First, all [-] Khitan cavalry have entered the secluded area. If General Deng Hao cannot be defeated in the front, he must go up the river, circle around from the upper reaches to General Deng's back, and deliver a fatal blow.

"Second, Huaiyuan Town of Liaoxi County and Tongding Town of Liaodong County have hoarded a large amount of money, food and military equipment. If General Deng Hao is defeated, Luo Yi will be at his fingertips."

"Three, there are more than 10,000 prisoners of war who built roads in Liaoxi County. Not to mention these prisoners are all young and strong, they are all from the background of bandits who have experienced many battles. If Luo Yi crosses the White Wolf Water, there will be more than [-] strong soldiers in vain. ! Equipped with weapons from Huaiyuan Town and Tongding Town, that is an elite army of [-]+.”

"Fourth, once Liaoxi County and Liaodong County fall, the lonely Liaodong County and Liaodong City to the east of Liaoshui will surely fall. Liaodong City is a nail nailed to the heart of Goguryeo, and it is also the bridgehead for my revenge in the Sui Dynasty. , no mistakes are allowed." Yang Gongren said seriously.

"Liaodong City?" Yang Tong asked.

Yang Gongren said: "The Liaodong City is the Xiangping City of the Han Dynasty. The city was built on a high ground, steep and strong. The Holy One lost more than a million lives on the land of Liaodong. The only harvest is it. Currently, Wei Yunqi, the prefect of Liaodong, is leading the city. Twenty-five thousand Sui troops guard the city, and supplies are supplied from Tongding Town west of the Liaoshui River!"

Yang Tong sneered, since he arrived in Zhuojun, it was the first time anyone dared to confront him like this, but Luo Yi was arrogant, Yang Tong was not easy to mess with, this time he wanted to establish himself in the territory Military prestige.

"Your Highness, in addition to sending a large army to fight head-on, you can actually send a flying boat across the Liaoshui River and let Wei Yun go west to help put down the rebellion. This will not only disperse the forces of Luo Yi and Khitan, but also reduce the pressure on Huaiyuan Town and Tongding Town. "Fang Xuanling suggested softly.

"That's right. In addition to that, we can also give the Xi clan certain supplies to make them pretend to attack the Khitan mainland." Wei Zheng added with a smile.

After Yang Tong's eyes flickered for a while, he shook his head lightly, and said flatly: "Wei Yunqi faces Goguryeo directly, so it's not appropriate to move lightly! It's unbelievable that Xi clan and Khitan surrendered to Turks together! It's useless to deal with mere Luo Yi and Khitan. It is necessary to use aliens!"

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng smiled wryly. This is the arrogance of the superiors. To deal with a traitor, if they still need to rely on foreign races, it is not prudent for them, but humiliating.In the end, even if he wins, he will not be able to establish his prestige.

Yang Tong looked at Khitan on the map, and suddenly made an almost crazy decision.

The Khitan is one of the enduring ethnic groups on the grassland, and is jointly ruled by the Xiwandan tribe, the Hedahe tribe, the Fufuyu tribe, the Yuling tribe, the Rilian tribe, the Pijie tribe, the Li tribe, and the Tuliuyu tribe.The strength of each of them is not strong, but the eight tribes have cohesion among each other. In order to resist the common enemy, it is necessary for the various tribes to unite, that is, the relatively loose tribal alliance of the Dahe Clan.The sphere of competence of the tribal alliance is limited to joint military operations, and the livestock production of the ministries is not within the scope of management.

When one of them was in trouble, the four sides supported them, forming a unique existence on the grassland.The prairie people also habitually regard them as a whole, and dare not think unreasonably about them.

The Khitan residence extends from Chaoyang in the south, to the La Morun River in the north, to Chifeng in the west, and to the Liao River in the east.Relying on Chenshui, they are distributed in the Laoha River Basin in the west and the Northeast Plain in the east.Northern Yan, Northern Wei, and Northern Qi successively used force against Khitan, causing heavy losses.

At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the Khitans were attached to the Sui Dynasty and the Turks, and gradually recovered in the right and left, and went south again in the first year of Daye, but were attacked by the Turks, the chief envoy of Wei Yunqi, and more than [-] people were captured. Battered.

At present, the Xiwandan tribe is the most powerful tribe in Khitan, and Duolunke, the chief of the Xiwandan tribe, is also revered as the leader of the Dahe Alliance.The total force is more than [-]. This time, [-] cavalry were drawn, that is to say, the [-] troops in their native land are distributed among the eight tribes!If they use the Xi clan to send troops out of Anle County, they can completely take away their lair.

However, Yang Tong's appetite is not limited to this.

His goal is also the "△" territory north of Xiaoliao River in Goguryeo. This "△" area is the future Liaohe Plain and one of the most important grain production bases in Goguryeo.

The Liaohe Plain is now shared by Khitan and Goguryeo, and the Sui Dynasty only occupies a very small part.

The "△" part occupied by Goguryeo has not only the Xiaoliao River in the lower part, but also the "/" Qianshan Mountains from north to west. This mountain range is huge and steep, and because Liaodong City has fallen into the hands of the Sui Dynasty!There are three paths connecting Goguryeo to this plain: one is Xuanju—Maigu—Momi—Hengshan—Houhuang—Wuyingluo—Yincheng; The third is, Xuanzhu—Wheat Valley—Rice Milling—Yincheng!These three roads are hurdles that Yincheng cannot pass!As long as you take Yincheng... Goguryeo will lose one-sixth of the country.

The key point is that Goguryeo's biggest enemy is not Sui, but Silla.

Silla took advantage of Goguryeo's battle with the Sui Dynasty and took away the Goguryeo Hanjiang Plain. This place can be said to be the most fertile land in the three kingdoms of Haidong. It was such a joy.

Goguryeo was seriously injured due to its rivalry with the Great Sui Dynasty. Although it was still the number one country in Haidong, its national power had been reduced by more than half compared to its peak period, and it could not win the second child of Silla.

This is also the tragedy of a small country.

Even a small victory in the eyes of Sui was a huge loss to Goguryeo.Today, they only have about 20 troops. Except for Yincheng, which is facing Liaodong City, and Yincheng has a total of [-] soldiers, there are no large troops stationed in other small cities.Therefore, this time is definitely a godsend opportunity to eat the "△" area of ​​Khitan and Goguryeo.
