Chapter 761 What are they doing?
The food and grass were transported to the front line by the people of Youzhou, and the front line of 200,000 has been transferred to the border for a full month since the defense was transferred to the border, and there has been a movement for the first time.
The Tang Dynasty conquered five cities in the west of Goguryeo. Later, during the Immortal Grain Period, Goguryeo regained four of them. The Liaodong City was brought back by Du Gou's diplomatic means. Therefore, the outpost for the Tang Dynasty to attack Goguryeo is not Huaiyuan Shouguan Pass, but the Liaodong City in the easternmost direction.
This time, the 200,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty did not stick to the city, and drove directly to the bottom of Anshi City, south of Liaodong City, and confronted the defenders on Goguryeo City. The two sides were only five miles away, and they could even see the smoke from cooking every day.
The latest trends of the Tang Dynasty immediately attracted panic from Goguryeo. It was about to fight and finally took action. The Tang Dynasty finally couldn't help it.
I was worried for a whole few months, but now I have to start. In the past few months, we have to turn a blind eye, fearing that we will be attacked by the Tang Dynasty. This feeling is really painful. Now I can finally get rid of it. Even if I die in battle immediately, I will not be afraid.
These are basically the mental states of most Goguryeo frontline soldiers, of course, even the Great General Yizhi Wude who had lost ten pounds.
"The whole army gathers together and prepares to fight the enemy. I guess they are going to take action." Wude Yizhi said in a deep voice, with a hint of excitement in his voice.
However, the military order was not long since it was spread, and the military camps were urgently recuperating their troops. The chief general of the scout camp quickly came to the central army's tent with a scout.
"General, the latest information, the Tang Dynasty has not increased its troops, but their new trend is that a large number of military rations have been shipped."
"Oh? Military rations?
Haha, too, their 200,000 army is full of people eating horses every day, and they consume a lot of money. If they had to do it, how could they make such a big fuss?" Yizhi Wude speculated.
"No, no, what the last general said is that they have a large number of them, yes, a large number of them." The scout general explained.
"Damn it, will the grain and herbs still not know? Use you to explain it? I will know how much grain and grass there are for the 200,000 troops."
The scout general looked back at the scout who shrank his neck, and felt a little resentful. It was all your kid who led me, so please tell me personally.
"General, the youngest is Yu Er, the elite scout in the third team of the scout camp. I found out that it was the food and grass of Chengshan. Not to mention the 200,000 troops, it is probably only one million troops, which is enough for two months. The youngest dare not delay. After exploring the enemy's situation, he came to repay him immediately."
What???
Grain Mountain? One million troops eat for two months, then 200,000 troops eat for ten months? Where did the Tang Dynasty get so much food? And aren’t they going to start a war? We only have 100,000 troops, and the other side has thunder. Is this going to fight a protracted war with us?
No, is it necessary to kill us with food?
The Yizhi martial virtue was unsolvable, so he thought of many reasons, and then he was quickly overturned by himself.
"Let's take a look and prepare for the war first. No matter what, they always want to attack the city. We have already strengthened the walls and Qingye. Anshi City is the current western gate of Goguryeo. They would never have thought that we would set up two concrete walls in the city. This is a copper wall and iron wall. Even if it is a thunder, I will not be afraid."
In the following days, the Tang Dynasty lost its movements again. No, it was not accurate. In fact, it was useless. It was just that there was countless smoke in the 200,000 military camp of the Tang Dynasty every day, and there was meat every day.
In this kind of life, let alone the scouts who went to inquire, even the soldiers guarding the city smacked their lips one by one, without the need for the scout to come back to reveal it. A hundred thousand pots are swaying ten miles a day, and they are also specifically at the Shangfengkou. People in the city can't avoid it.
Yizhi Wude was depressed. The Tang Dynasty was too damaged. It was so powerful that it was not a head-on battle, and it was still playing with clever tricks? Isn’t this bullying?
What are you doing? Don’t fight hard and eat and drink all day long? Can you win us with this? Will we drool and die?
With 200,000 troops in hand, why don’t you attack the city? Are you so afraid of death? Unfortunately, why are we Goguryeo so poor? Even our generals can’t guarantee a meal of meat every day now.
In fact, he didn't know that at this level, it was the military rations that Yuan Gaisuwen tried his best to rush for his front-line soldiers.
Because the front-line defenders had to confront the Tang army a few months ago, the consumption of the 100,000 troops over the past few months was a terrifying number. If it weren't for the autumn closing and exploiting a layer of people, I'm afraid the military rations in Anshicheng would be in a hurry.
At this time, Yoon Gaisuwen was also overwhelmed by a rumor. Bai Fan, who had already taken action, put the publicity advertisement he wrote into the entire Goguryeo folk and city. No one knew where the white paper pieces flying all over the sky came from in every city, as if they appeared out of thin air.
Even villages in various places gradually appeared more or less in the hands of local people within a few days.
This is paper, white and good paper. I heard that this thing has been seen by high-ranking officials. Ordinary scholars cannot touch such good paper. Why does it seem like it falls from the sky, and it is everywhere in the sky?
The most important thing is the content on paper. Most people cannot read, but when they have the thought of literacy, everyone will understand it.
But how is this possible? There is that good thing? It is obviously a lie. If there is that good thing, the Tang people themselves will take it all out?
Most people don’t believe it, but this has caused the first wave of public opinion offensive to Goguryeo, which is tentative. When Yoon Gaisuwen sees it, it is a dignified plot. Others don’t know the national conditions of their country. They know it well. Goguryeo is seriously short of food this year because of war. If the people have a day without food, they will definitely try their luck.
But Yuan Gaisuwen did not expect that the flyer was flying all over the sky, which was just the first bad news from Goguryeo. The next death knell made him, the hero of the world, tremble. The Tang Dynasty completely blocked the border and prohibited any trade with the peninsula. Even needles and threads did not flow into the peninsula.
Even Silla's curved trading method was cut off by the Tang Dynasty. In other words, the Tang Dynasty was going to take action. This time, it was targeted at the entire peninsula, and even Silla was considered on the enemy side.
It's over, Goguryeo is in short supply and cannot be self-sufficient. Baekje and Silla are poorer than us. If this continues, the country will be in chaos. How dare he be like this in the Tang Dynasty? Never seen a court who dares to block merchants like this in this way, even smuggling can't be possible. Has the Tang Dynasty been united to such an extent? Is the Emperor Li Er completely in control of everything?
For the first time, Yoon Gaisuwen felt a sense of fear in his heart.
