Chapter 103 Catching a turtle in a jar

Li Jie sat aside and sneered a few times, saying sarcastically, "The General is really a good plan. Not only does he defeat Ping'an City in one fell swoop, but the Liao people's soldiers and horses in Baiyan and the surrounding mountain cities. He also used a trick to remove firewood from the bottom of the cauldron. On the one hand, he plundered a large amount of food and grass supplies, but also was equivalent to cutting off the Liao people's food and grass. If the Liao army came, they would have to transport food and grass from the long rear. Third, the General also directly took away the people of each city, which not only strengthened the strength of our army, but also eliminated the Liao people's retreat to recruit soldiers on the spot in Liaodong."

"As soon as the war is stalemate, then the general may have another move, and sending elite cavalry to plunder and attack the logistics transportation of the Liao people! At that time, the Liao people will have no strong civilians to supplement the damaged troops. Secondly, if the food and grass are not maintained, I am afraid that they will have to withdraw their troops? With the general's usual strategy, I am afraid that such a good opportunity will not be missed. At that time, I am afraid that it will be counterattacked the Liao army and defeated the Goguryeo army in one fell swoop, but it is probably impossible to stop it?"

"Ba, bha, bha, bha," Chen Kefu slapped gently and said to Li Jie with a smile on his face, "Everything that General Li said is possible. Since General Li has such a sharp vision and has already seen things so thoroughly, why do he still never support our general's strategy? Is it so important to compare national justice and military affairs, and the gains and dissipations between individuals? Is it not the interests of the Great Sui Dynasty first in General Li's heart?"

"I, I haven't said that." Li Jie said annoyedly. In his opinion, Chen Kefu's words were completely a thief who called to catch the thief.

"Okay, since General Li completely abandons his personal selfishness and is willing to advance and retreat with me, then I am very pleased. Let me think this is how it is, I will not miss this battle. General Li also heard that the generals of Na'an City and Baiyan City are brave people. Even if we really trick them into the city, if we really fight, we will definitely not be able to get it. In order to be sure, we will definitely not be able to do anything. In order to make no mistakes, we will decide to collect all the crossbows in the army and set up an ambush in the south of the city. At that time, we will not show off our courage with them. We will directly send ten thousand arrows to deal with them directly. All the equipment is ready to be distributed is a big deal. I think this important thing will be left to General Li to do. General Li, success or failure depends on you." Chen Kefu said to Li Jie sincerely.

Li Jie originally thought that Chen Kefu was really planning to let go of the two of them for the time being and was about to let him command a military force. Unexpectedly, in the end, he was not even able to command Minzhuang. Now Chen Kefu has done things directly and asked him to take care of the equipment. This does not mean that he has been sent to a warehouse manager to participate in the military. Thinking of his dignified Li family, General Zhe Chong Lang, who is the personal guard beside His Majesty, was actually sent by him to be the head of a warehouse. This is too much.

For a moment, the whole person was ignited with anger. His eyes were staring at Chen Kefu, his lips were pursed together and turned a little blue. One hand was directly on the delicate ring knife by his waist, and his knuckles turned white due to excessive force.

Chen Kefu walked to his side, raised his lips slightly, and said calmly, "Why, General Li thinks this task is difficult?" After saying that, he whispered in his ear, "Don't obey the order, it's a serious crime. If General Li dares to attack him, then the general can directly rebel and assassinate the general directly ordered you to be killed on the spot. General Li, you must not do anything reckless."

He said it as if he was trying to calm down, but it sounded more like he was deliberately teasing his anger.

Li Jie looked at Chen Kefu, and the other party was not afraid of his eyes at all. Instead, he looked at him with a smile on his face.

After gritting his teeth, cursing Chen Ke in his heart several times, he said unangrily, "God of the General!"

Chen Kefu smiled at Li Jie slightly, reached out and patted his shoulder a few times, and turned around and returned to the top.

"Okay, our army will set up an ambush in the south city. All the cavalry in the army who broke the barracks prepared to ambush the war horses on both sides of the city gate. All the other people in the civil war were holding bows and ambushed the houses on the roof of the houses at the south gate. The rest of the people, choose the strong civil war, hold large shields and stand by in the houses. Once the war begins, you will immediately form a shield formation at the south gate. All the Liao people must be surrounded in the open area of ​​the south gate. The remaining civil war is all holding crossbow arrows and hide near the south city. Once the war begins, you will immediately arrive in the south city to join the war."

"As for the 10,000 troops of the Fifth Division, together with the Goguryeo soldiers who had surrendered to me, the Goguryeo armor and clothes to guard the Nancheng, all the crossbows and catapults in the army were placed above the Nancheng, and after the war started, they directly attacked the Liao army from the top of the city. Let me hold on, the people of our Great Sui are ten thousand times more precious than those barbarians. Except for the cavalry in the military camp, they are responsible for dispersing the opponent's formation and not allowing them to form formations to defend, all the soldiers, the people and the people are not allowed to fight directly with the Liao people without my order. I will use one million feather arrows to exchange for the lives of the 20,000 Goguryeo people, unless they abandon their weapons, they will be killed."

All the generals and schoolmen could feel the cold-blooded smell in Chen Kefu's words. His few words had already determined the destination of tens of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers. Compared to the upright battlefield to determine life and death, this kind of death in ambush may be more difficult for the Liao people to accept. However, Chen Kefu's words, the lives of all the people of the Sui Dynasty were a hundred times more precious than those of the barbarians, and made the hearts of the generals and schoolmen warm. This way of caring for their subordinates was even more supportive.

Just now, I was a little worried because the number of enemies was beyond everyone's expectations, but at this time, Chen Kefu had already made a plan so easily that he could easily solve 20,000 Goguryeo soldiers, which suddenly made the soldiers excited.

"General, since this strategy of catching turtles in the jar is so useful, it is better to do the same thing as the Goguryeo soldiers in the north. Let's lure them directly to the new city. Then we will close the door and beat dogs again, will everything be solved?" Zhang Hei, the butcher captain, said boldly.

When many generals and schoolmen heard this, they nodded in agreement. Yes, everyone was naturally willing to take down the Liao people so easily. They really pulled the troops out and left the guards of the army and the reliance of the city. These temporary generals and schoolmen of the new army were really unsure of it.

Chen Kefu sighed in his heart. He was really a group of mobs, without the blood of a soldier. Each of them was actually greedy for life and fearful death, thinking about how to be safe, not how to be more effective.

"Everyone, everything should not be repeated, and even more so. We lured An City and Baiyan City's defenders to Liaodong City. One of the major reasons is that An City and Baiyan City are far away from the retreat route of the Sui army. If they want to rush to the Liaohe battlefield, they must pass Liaodong City first. So our previous strategy was more reasonable, and the other was that the guards of the two cities were all brave but unscheming, and they had long wanted to come to Liaodong to participate in the war. So we used this strategy for them."

"However, the situation of the three cities of Fuyu City, Jinshan City and Gaimu City is different from that of Anshi City. The fortress of the northwest city of Goguryeo, Fuyu Wan directly connects with the Hu tribes such as Khitan, Turks, and Mohe, and there have always been generals guarding it. The troops belonging to them are not ordinary noble private soldiers, but regular troops of the kingdom. Moreover, if they want to go to the battlefield of Liaohe, they don't have to pass through the new city. If we order them to station in Liaoxin City, do you think if you are the commander of the Liao army, don't you feel confused?"

"Do you know who the guardian of Fuyu City is?"

Chen Guang said in a thick voice, "General, would that guard general be more powerful than Wende of Yizhi and Gao Jianwu? Didn't the Goguryeo people call Yizhi the war god and Gao Jianwu the war god of Goguryeo after Yizhi? This war god is famous for the god of war. The 80,000 troops of Yizhi were defeated by the general in Xincheng. Gao Jianwu led 100,000 troops to Liaodong. In the end, he was captured by the general, and he was left to jump into the river and escape. This war god and the god of war are not your opponents, let alone other people, they are just to bring shame to themselves."

"Everyone, don't judge heroes by success or failure. The defeat of Yizhi was because his soldiers were private soldiers of aristocratic soldiers who were temporarily summoned and were attacked by more than 200,000 troops on both sides. It was not me who defeated him. Gao Jianwu had to bear the besiege of hundreds of thousands of troops for more than a month, and he was indeed a capable general. If you are not careful in this military affairs, you will easily lose everything. Therefore, we must not be conceited. Although the defender of Fuyu City is not as famous as Yizhi and Gao Jianwu, he is not a mediocre person in Goguryeo. He is the first tribe of Goguryeo. The eldest son of Yuanziyou, Yuan Taizuo, was only forty years old. He has always commanded his troops and horses. He has been fighting with the Khitan, the Marine, and even the Turks many times. He is a real battlefield general."

"So, for him, we cannot be the same as for the brainless Gao Yannian and Gao Yuzhen. The troops of the three cities of Fuyu, Jinshan and Gaimu are very close to the Liaohe battlefield. So if we fake Gao Jianwu's general order, we can only let them set up an ambush in Liaohe, and then we will attack the Sui army from both sides of the Liaodong City defenders, and it is impossible to let them take over Fangxincheng. Everyone, unlike the previous battle against Anshi, this will definitely be a hard battle."

Li Shimin stood up and said, "General, the last general and Li Xuanba's heavy infantry battalion are willing to be the vanguard of the general and the first victory for the army!"

Luo Lin also hurriedly stood up and said, "General, I am willing to be the pioneer, but we are going to ambush Gao Yannian and Gao Yuzhen now. I am afraid that the clone is too skilled. How can we fight on both sides?"
