Brother and Brother

Understanding this point, Yang Yong turned to Yang Da and said, "Uncle Yang, the war is urgent now. Everything is put first in the war. Let's investigate the affairs of the government soldiers in the future."

"Yes, I am following the order." Yang Da said, he is not a pedantic person. Even if Luo Shixin is telling lies, if he really wants to investigate the rear now, it will only cause chaos and make the war develop in an unfavorable direction. If Luo Shixin is telling the truth, only the two of them are not age-appropriate, so there is naturally no need to investigate.

"Luo Shixin!"

"I'm here."

"In your opinion, if the general's strategy is adopted, how long will it take to defeat Silla and Goguryeo?"

"Ah." Luo Shixin was stunned when he heard the emperor's question. Although he was very skilled in martial arts, he had no contact with this level at all. How could he come up with an idea?

Seeing Luo Shixin's reaction, Yang Yong couldn't help but pat his head. He regarded Luo Shixin as another general in his memory. Luo Shixin is only thirteen years old now, and asking these questions to him was too thrusting the seedlings and grow. Yang Yong waved his hand: "Forget it, you don't need to answer this question anymore. Two dear friends, please go down first."

"Yes, I will leave." Luo Shixin and Xue Wanche bowed their heads and retreated.

After the two went down, Yang Yong put down Yu Zhongwen's memorial and thought quietly. At present, there are 20,000 imperial guards, 30,000 naval troops, and 50,000 palace troops under the city of Pyongyang, with a force of 100,000. If the siege of Pyongyang City alone is maintained, there will be about 50,000 troops. However, the navy will not be able to go ashore to siege the city. Apart from the navy, there are only 20,000 cavalry. Now there are only more than 20,000 cavalry on the north bank, so it is impossible to transfer all the cavalry to the south bank. These 20,000 people have at most 5,000 cavalry, and the other 15,000 must be infantry. In this way, there are 43,000 cavalry on the south bank of Beishui. Even if there are 5,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry, facing Goguryeo, the coalition forces of nearly 150,000 in the two countries still do not have the advantage.

The coalition of the two countries only has 15,000 cavalry. The Sui army controlled the waterway, which was equivalent to having a strong rear. If the Sui army did not take the initiative to attack, the Xin and Gao coalitions actually did not pose too much threat to the more than 40,000 cavalry of the Sui army. Strictly speaking, the Sui army did not lose in the battle during the day. Two thousand cavalry exchanged for the 5,000 cavalry of the Goguryeo. If the remaining 15,000 cavalry of the Goguryeo can be eliminated, no matter how many troops the two countries' coalition forces are, they will suffer a great loss.

Time, everything depends on time. If the coalition forces of the two countries can hold on until the water freezes, the Sui army can only rescue the siege before it freezes. Otherwise, all ships will be trapped in the river. Even if the Sui army can store enough food, clothing, firewood and other things used by the army before, the coalition forces of the two countries can directly cross the ice and rescue Pyongyang.

Yu Zhongwen judged in the memorial that the coalition forces of the two countries would not support for a month. If this is true, when the great victory could be achieved before the Beishui freezes, Yang Yong lifted the pen and felt that the pen was worth a thousand pounds. In the end, it was Zhongwen's memorial that the word "ke" was criticized in the word "ke".

Another day passed, the sun slowly rose, and the barracks of Goguryeo and Silla were lively. Many people stretched their arms. They won a great victory yesterday and celebrated for half a night. Each soldier was given half a bowl of rice wine and large pieces of horse meat, which allowed them to eat as much as possible. Although the horse meat was rough, it was delicious for Silla and Goguryeo's lower-class soldiers who were rare to eat meat.

In the battle yesterday, more than 5,000 war horses were killed and injured. The weather is getting colder now. Don’t worry that the horse meat will soon become worse. It is enough for a 150,000 army to eat for several days and eat horse meat every day. This makes ordinary Silla and Goguryeo soldiers more excited than winning battles.

However, compared to Silla, the excitement of the Goguryeo people, the captured Baekje soldiers were a little miserable. They were tied into meat skewers and squeezed into a small space. Since they were captured, most of the soldiers still couldn't escape, making the place where they were stenched.

Compared with these, what made them even more uneasy is that until now, neither country has surrendered on the battlefield without making arrangements for them. Naturally, they hope to continue to live, but the current treatment will inevitably make them uneasy.

In Silla camp, Princess Shande and Yuan Taizuo sat opposite each other. The generals of the two countries behind them also sat in two rows. In order to thank Silla for turning against each other, Yuan Taizuo personally brought people to Silla camp to discuss future plans with Princess Shande. Their conversation today will also determine the life and death of nearly 20,000 Baekje prisoners.

"Princess, I wonder how long will the military rations of your army last?" Yuan Taizuo asked this key question first.

Princess Shande smiled and said, "I'm not hiding it from Lord Mo Lizhi. If the food of my country's army is used for saving a little, it will be enough for half a month to use it. After half a month, I will need the support of Lord Mo Lizhi."

Yuan Taizuo couldn't hear it, and Gao Yanshou behind him couldn't help saying, "Do you know how long our army's rations can last?"

"The general is joking. Will your army still suffer from food shortages when fighting in the territory?"

"Waring within the territory? But the food cannot be transformed out of thin air. Now our army has less than ten days of stocking up. Although the food in the rear can be transported, the daily food transported is only half of the food required by our army."

As soon as Gao Yanshou's words fell, the entire tent suddenly became half cold. In other words, twenty days later, the Goguryeo people would also have to shortage of food and have no food. How to fight? If they had known this, why would Silla have had a quarrel with the Great Sui Dynasty and cut off the retreat?

After a while, Princess Shande asked in a stern manner: "Master Mo Lizhi, is this really the case?"

This matter will be explained sooner or later. Yuan Taizuo had no intention of hiding it. Princess Shande sent someone to contact him. He promised to supply Silla military rations at once. Now Mu and Chengzhou don’t need to slap the swollen face and make people fat. Yuan Taizuo nodded: "Princess, that's true. If the princess doesn't dislike it, I can equip hundreds of loads of military rations to the Silla army every day."

"Hundreds of 100 pounds of military ration." Princess Shande was so angry that her chest was filled with energy. A hundred pounds of military ration were only more than 10,000 pounds of food. The 60,000 army was not enough to drink porridge. Princess Shande finally calmed herself down and said, "Mr. Mo Lizhi, so my Silla army cannot stay here, so she can only return to the country. In this way, please let go of the passage behind you and let my army pass."

The Silla army dared to turn against the Sui army because they could return to the country by land after joining Goguryeo. However, how could Yuan Taizuo be willing to let the Silla army go? He immediately looked puzzled: "Princess, our two countries are allied troops at the moment. Logically speaking, the conditions of the princess are my official can agree, but Hufeiling is still a major rear area of ​​our army. If there is any mistake, my official army will collapse. Please be considerate. When the Sui people are defeated, I can ensure that the princess' army returns safely."

What Yuan Taizuo implied was that he was a little disbelief of Princess Shande. Who knew if the Silla people would suddenly seize the pass halfway and seize the Hufeiling Pass when they returned through the Hufeiling Pass. After all, the Silla people had a criminal record. They tore up the alliance with Baekje decades ago, and now they tore up the alliance with the Sui army. How could Yuan Taizuo be sure whether Silla would tear up the alliance with Goguryeo?

However, Yuan Taizuo said it too intuitively. The generals of Silla looked ugly. It was obvious that Goguryeo had put Silla in front, so what right would he have to blame them? Several choruses, and several generals of Silla pulled out their swords from behind, pointed at Yuan Taizuo, and said, "What did you say, don't you apologize to Your Highness the Princess."

There were several choking sounds again, and several Goguryeo generals also pulled out their swords and glared at the Silla generals holding their swords. Although the Goguryeo generals were in the Silla camp, there was no reason to be afraid. The Silla people had no way out. If they offended Goguryeo, as long as Goguryeo left it alone, the 40,000 Sui cavalry could flatten the Silla tent in less than half a day. For a moment, arrows suddenly became tense in the tent.

"Put down the knife." Princess Shande stared at the generals who had put the knife behind her. The generals had to withdraw the knife awkwardly. To be honest, if Goguryeo really agreed to this, without the surveillance of the army, 99% of the Silla army would seize the pass when they returned. Seeing the Silla people put away the knife, several Goguryeo generals also put away the knife and calmed down the tent.

"Master Mo Lizhi, a hundred tracts of military rations are too low. If so, wouldn't I let the soldiers fight on hungry? I also know the difficulties of the master. It would be better to share half of the military rations transported to our army every day. In this way, I also have an explanation for the soldiers below." Princess Shande had no choice but to retreat and follow.

Yuan Taizuo knew that it would not work without sharing grain in Silla people. However, the Silla people wanted half of them, but the lion spoke loudly. The Goguryeo people themselves had more than 20,000 more than Silla people, not to mention that there were 15,000 cavalry, and the food required by a cavalry could be used by at least three people. Yuan Taizuo said: "Three Seven, this official can supply 30% of the food of your army, and it will be supplied in five days."

"Fifty percent, starting today." Princess Shande gritted her teeth and refused to relax.

The two sides bargained and finally reached a four-six-six agreement, which was implemented immediately. Goguryeo distributed 40% of the grain transported from the rear every day to the Silla people. In this way, after the grain was used up, the Silla army could also ensure that each soldier had half a kilogram of grain per day, and drinking porridge was barely enough.
