Although Qin Meng still suggested to take the sea army, he could stand by at the harbor temporarily and wait for the land army to obtain good results before setting off, but this suggestion was opposed by most people.
The arguments of the opponents are also very convincing.
The Goguryeo barbarians did not have the conditions to form an established navy army, so the Sui navy army was formed. In fact, there is no opponent.
This way, appearing behind Goguryeo's barbarian side without any hindrance can actually have the effect of unexpectedly attacking him.
Even what Qin Meng said, there are many unknown risks in the current state of the sea. Well, this risk is worth taking.
Because the sea army does not have to worry about an enemy attack, even if it encounters a risk, it can completely retreat.
After hearing these reasons, Qin Meng stopped insisting.
Yang Liang gave an order, and the Feixiao Army's front pioneers were 6,000 people. Starting from the Northeast Pass of Youzhou, go straight into the hinterland of Goguryeo.
Luo Yi commanded Youzhou with 50,000 soldiers and horses. Following the road opened by the Feixiao Army, he extended and expanded to the hinterland of Goguryeo, step by step, and consolidated the achievements of the Feixiao Army.
The sea army, led by the marching commander Zhou Luohu, set off at the same time as the land army. It counted 50,000 navy forces and took numerous boats. After preparing to go straight to the side of Goguryeo, find a suitable place to land and go ashore to echo the land army.
Qin Meng led two thousand flying troops, saying that he was defending Yang Liang, the commander of the Chinese army. In fact, it would be better to say that he was acting as a guard of honor.
Yang Liang's Central Army headquarters has a large army of 200,000, although the two wings are spread out. Each was divided into 50,000 yuan, but the two wings were far away from Yang Liang's headquarters, less than ten miles, and they arrived in less than half an hour after receiving a warning. Not to mention that there are 100,000 people around Yang Liang.
At the beginning, Yang Liang's side Sima consulted with Wang Wei, and he was very cautious and kept reminding Yang Liang. Be cautious, don't be greedy for a moment's work, and adventurousness is counterproductive.
However, in less than half a month, pioneer Zhou Lie Weida led the Fei Xiaojun to attack more than 20 camps on the Goguryeo Frontier Fortress, dashing into the Goguryeo region for four hundred miles, invincible. Not to mention Yang Liang, even Wang Wei felt that Qin Meng was a little cautious and neurotic.
Yang Liang's headquarters of the Chinese Army, marching in accordance with the normal army, should be fifteen miles a day, this way. It will be able to ensure the supervision and urging of the staff of this department and the coordinated guarantees of the whole department.
But the speed of the forward advance was much unexpected. According to the normal marching speed, it can only be more and more open with the forward. Yang Liang and Wang Wang discussed to speed up the marching speed of the Chinese army headquarters, at least 25 miles per day.
Surprisingly, Qin Meng did not give any further advice, the speed of the Chinese army headquarters. Suddenly it almost doubled.
Towards the end of August, the First One Pioneer of the Eastern Expedition had reached the hinterland of Goguryeo. Facing the Barbarian City, Fei Xiaojun was still unambiguous, and took down two cities.
For a time. The Goguryeo barbarians, all fearful and fearful, have already handed out the Shu Shunbiao, expressing their willingness to submit to the Great Sui, and be willing to be a vassal of the Great Sui forever.
But there are still many small countries (these small countries are equivalent to the modern town and county level), even though they are afraid of the Great Sui army, they still have to resist desperately.
Yang Liang summarized the situation of all parties, gathered a group of people to discuss matters in the captured city, and asked everyone what plans for the next battle.
General Yu Gongli said: "Marshal. Now, the Goguryeo states have long been afraid of me in the Great Sui Heavenly Army. If you are frightened, you can only send troops out of the box, and you can fight Rongdi. According to the end of the general's opinion. It is better to send the generals to rate one. Thousands of soldiers and horses will attack the main fortresses of the Barbarian State separately, and once all are taken, they can hold on to the city and wait for the opportunity to clear the residue and remnants, once and for all, so that the Barbarian State will never turn back."
Pei Wenan, another general under Yang Liang's command, said: "General Yu said that Goguryeo is a barbaric country, ignorant of civilization, cunning, capricious, and can't keep it. That's why the saint has the heart to destroy Goguryeo. Judging from the achievements of my Great Sui army, the barbarians have no intention of fighting to death. They went down to the city and razed them to the ground, killing as much as possible their young men, preventing them from contacting me, even if they can’t be cut to extinction. It can also be killed."
A group of generals expressed their opinions. In general, the suggestion that all the Goguryeo savage cities should be taken down by the division of troops has the absolute upper hand.
Yang Liang nodded his head again and again, which was quite consistent with his expectation.
"Even the generals think like this, then..." Yang Liang wanted to say, everyone wanted a piece, so let's just do it, and suddenly found that Wang Wei winked at him again.
Yang Liang followed Wang Wei's look, and suddenly understood why Wang Wei was doing this.
Not far from Yang Liang, Qin Meng was sitting.
No matter how enthusiastic the discussion was, Qin Meng said nothing, like a wooden fetal clay sculpture, as if the surrounding things had nothing to do with him.
Yang Liang smiled and said: "Qin Shaofu, this commander has always respected you as a man. How can such a big event in the military be unscrupulous?" (End of this chapter)
