Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 789
Although the destination of the battle is to support Liaodong, Liu He also knows that the enemy must be tightly blocked along the way, especially the sea route from Qingzhou to Liaodong. The opponent must have deployed heavy troops, so it is almost impossible to reach Liaodong directly. possible things.

Although with the fighting power of the Han army, even if Liu He and the 20 troops alone fight against the coalition forces of different races, they will surely be able to win in the end, but Liu He does not intend to do so, because a direct head-to-head confrontation will cause heavy losses to his own side. Liu He didn't want the loyal and brave soldiers under his command to suffer more losses. The most brilliant part of war is to exchange as little loss as possible for as much victory as possible.

Therefore, after discussion, Liu He decided to adopt the strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao. He led his army to attack Baekje, which was empty in the rear, and then used Baekje to attack Goguryeo. And Xinluo, Liu He led the main force to Liaodong, and fought against the main force of the coalition forces.

Of course, the most important thing is that Liu He's army mobilization ability is very powerful. In just one month, he mobilized 20 land and water troops. It only takes two days at most to advance from Dongnae to Baekje by water, which is almost the same amount of time. So he moved a month ahead of schedule. As long as Liu He defeated Baekje within a month, he would be able to successfully attract the power of Goryeo, Silla and Jurchen. This would greatly reduce the pressure on Liaodong, not to mention, before the expedition Liu He has received the news that Zhao Yun's injury is basically stable. Although he cannot unite the troops in a short period of time, there is still no problem in deploying defense and boosting morale. Therefore, the current situation in Liaodong City is basically stable, even if Goryeo and Baekje are included. , Silla and Jurchen's strength, there will be no problem if they hold on for another two or three months.Without these four tribes, Liaodong will only face Xianbei's power alone. In this case, if nothing unexpected happens, as long as Zhao Yun's injury is completely healed, he may even launch a counterattack, let alone a defense.

That is to say, as long as Liu He is sure to eliminate Baekje in a short period of time, this time the conquest of the east will be invincible.

So Liu He's land and water army headed for the Baijiangkou of Baekje.

Baijiangkou is the name of a sea area called Baekchon River in the coastal area of ​​Baekje. Baekjiangkou is the port for landing in Baekje from the sea. It is also the largest port in the three Koreas (Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje). In the past, it was the largest port in Baekje. Most of the trade between the two countries passed through the mouth of the Baekjiang River. However, when the three Koreas declared war with the Han Dynasty, the trade naturally ended. Now it has become the largest military port in Baekje, otherwise it has direct maritime connections with Silla, Japan and other countries.

Since it is a military port, the garrison is naturally indispensable. There are [-] naval troops stationed here, including [-] from Baekje, [-] from Silla, and [-] naval troops from the Wa Kingdom. There are more than [-] large and small warships in total.

In fact, Ulji Mun-deok, the commander of the Allied Forces of the Three Koreas, had already prepared for Liu Hohui's landing here, so he stationed heavy troops, and sent the No.

In addition, there are generals Jiebo of Silla and Shimadzu Yoshihiro of Wa Kingdom as deputy generals.

Liu He naturally knew that Heitochi Changzhi was a very famous general in history, and Kaibo and Shimadzu Yoshihiro were not unknown people, so he did not relax his vigilance in his heart, but carefully formulated a battle plan, so as to wipe out the enemy in one battle .

But the problem now is that Liu He's army does not have a commander who is good at surface warfare. Fortunately, Xue Rengui can learn water warfare without a teacher. Lu Su and Sun Shangxiang are also very proficient in water warfare. It is very handy to formulate combat plans for various military affairs of the war.

So Liu He proposed that Xue Rengui command [-] naval troops to lure the enemy, generals such as Huang Zhong and Sun Shangxiang who were good at sniping were responsible for sniping the enemy generals, and the other generals were responsible for ambush.

"Xue Aiqing, as long as you can successfully lure the enemy to the sea twenty miles away from Baijiangkou, it will be your first achievement!"

When making the plan, Liu He did not forget to say this to Xue Rengui.

However, at this moment, Guan Yu on the side said: "Your Majesty, I am familiar with water warfare and am willing to lead the army to lure the enemy. As the commander-in-chief of the army, Marshal Xue is not suitable to be responsible for luring the enemy."

Liu He laughed secretly in his heart when he heard the words. He naturally knew that Guan Yu cared about Xue Rengui on the surface, but in fact he expressed dissatisfaction with Liu He's appointment of Xue Rengui as the commander-in-chief of the army, so he wanted to fight for credit.

In fact, what Liu He wants is for Guan Yu to take the initiative to stand up, because as Guan Yu said, Xue Rengui, as the deputy commander of the three armies, is indeed inappropriate to lead the army to lure the enemy. Xue Rengui, if Xue Rengui directly made the decision to order Guan Yu to fight, with his temperament, he would probably refuse directly. Even if he took the order, he would definitely violate the military order and bring unnecessary losses to the Han army. Therefore, Liu He deliberately proposed to order Xue Rengui to lure the enemy in order to achieve a strong general.

Now that Guan Yu really stood up, Liu He was very happy in his heart, but on the surface he said: "Although General Guan is familiar with water warfare, he has experience in fighting along the river after all, and he is not suitable for fighting at sea. I am too old, and I am afraid that I am not able to do what I want in combat.”

Guan Yu has always been arrogant, how can he stand such words?Immediately said proudly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if the old minister is unfavorable in this battle, he is willing to be punished by military law!"

"Since that's the case, let you lead the army to lure the enemy, general. You must remember that this battle is only to lure the enemy, but not to fight the enemy."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister knows that the enemy army will come to the ambush ground obediently. It's just that the terrain is wide and the enemy army can easily find our hiding place. Even if the enemy army is lured over, they will surely flee , what use can it be?"

With a puzzled expression on his face, Guan Yu asked Liu He.

Liu He said with a confident smile when he heard the words: "Old General, you just need to go. When the enemy arrives, there will be a thick fog there, and there will be no trace of our army. At that time, the old general will only listen to the beating." With the sound of the drum, you can lead the army to launch a counterattack."

"It's really foggy?" Guan Yu murmured with a more puzzled look on his face.

Liu He did not respond to this sentence, but said: "General Guan, you just lead your army to lure the enemy. As long as the enemy army arrives, it will be your first contribution. If there is no fog at that time, it is my fault. will take full responsibility."

"Since Your Majesty said so, the old minister will obey his orders. This trip will certainly not disappoint His Majesty." Guan Yu bowed his hands to Liu He, took over the military order, and then arranged to lure the enemy.
