Yuan Gaisu calmed down and asked with a serious face: "The number of enemy troops, who is the general?"

"The main general is Li Ji, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. The number is unknown for the time being, but it is initially found to be at least [-], and the details are still being investigated."

Li Ji?It turned out to be this person?

Yuan Gaisu pondered for a moment when he heard that it was the famous general Li Ji. Although Li Ji was well-known in the Tang Dynasty, he was young and had no experience in fighting Goguryeo. Why did he come?

According to Yuan Gaisu's guess, if Datang really wanted to attack Goguryeo, even if it wasn't the world-renowned veteran Li Jing, it should be Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War.

And if Goguryeo is destroyed, at least 20 elite troops will be needed, why are there only 5?The number of people does not match.

"Go, find out for me how many soldiers and horses Da Tang is attacking. It is impossible for tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to achieve any results. This must be their conspiracy. I want to know the real strength of the opponent.

Don't always stare at their army, check their food delivery situation. "

The scouts below were puzzled and said: "To Lu, Datang has not always boasted that it is a state of etiquette, how could it do such undeclared wars? And the [-] army will not destroy our Goguryeo, there is Uljide With the general here, they can't even pass our Liaodong City."

Hearing that his subordinates are so confident, Yuan Gaisu smiled. It is a good thing that Chinese people are not timid in the face of the war.

But when I think about it carefully, I don't think it's right. For such a simple truth, any soldier under him can see it clearly. How can Datang be so stupid?Mobilizing tens of thousands of troops for no reason to run around and travel in groups?

Thinking of the strength of the Tang army, the difference between the Tang Dynasty and the former Sui Dynasty, and the Beisha city that was burned a few days ago, Yuan Gaisu felt as if a bolt of lightning had been penetrated into his mind.

"not good!

They didn't fight without declaring, Beisha City was an abandoned son they deliberately threw out to lure us to seize the city, and they took advantage of the situation to start the war.

Very insidious Datang people. "

Hearing this deduction, the scout said: "But they set fire to Beisha city themselves?"

"Idiot, if our army doesn't attack, they won't light the fire even if they have prepared the oil, until we fall into the trap, the fire will be on our heads, it's hard to tell. "Yuan Gaisu scolded.

"What now?"

Although Yuan Gaisu didn't panic, after all, even if he didn't figure out these causes and effects, Goguryeo was still preparing for the battle.

"Inform General Uljideok to strictly guard Liaodong City, and I will continue to mobilize heavy reinforcements.

In addition, Datang must have hidden soldiers and horses. Find them for me and find out the specific number of people. It is impossible for the mobilization of at least 10 people to be so silent. "

The scouts led away again, Yuan Gaisu felt uneasy, as if he had overlooked something.

Two days later, the second batch of scouts dispatched before rushed back quickly, solving Yuan Gaisu's doubts.

"What did you say? Datang has borrowed the hands of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, and has been continuously transporting grain and grass in the past few months? And the accumulated inventory is already extremely huge?

Trash, such important news, why is it only discovered now? "

This scout was not as lucky as his previous colleague, and was directly beaten up by the angry Yuan Gaisu as a tool to vent his anger.

"To Lu, it's not that I don't do my best. It's because the Du Family Chamber of Commerce is doing things secretly. It transports everything to Fuyu City. In name, it is the goods that are sent to several other small countries. No one would have thought that they secretly accumulated of.

Moreover, what exactly is this batch of goods has not been in the hands of several other small countries. Our scouting capabilities are limited, so it is impossible to find out, unless it is possible for the extremely high-level personnel of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce to find out. "The scout argued.

Yuan Gaisu waved his hand and said, "That's enough, what's the use of saying so much now? Based on this inventory, this batch of grain and grass should be enough to feed 20 troops for three months. It's a good way. Who in Datang can do it?" Under our noses, Mingxiu plank road is secretly hiding Chen Cang? This is to plot against us, and it has been planned for a long time."

At this time, a young man dressed as a scholar appeared in his mind, a man who was a bit of a philistine but extremely influential in Datang, and he had suffered a big loss at his hands, and he founded the Du Family Chamber of Commerce .

Thinking of this, I think that Dongchuang gave Beisha City, and Beisha City was abandoned in less than a year

"It won't be you again, will it?

Better not let me see you on the battlefield, or you will surely die! "Yuan Gai Su murmured bitterly to himself.

At the same time, Li Ji, who was in charge of secretly mobilizing troops from Hebei Province, had already completed his mobilization and led a large army slowly towards Huaiyuan City on the easternmost border of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian was in charge of contacting Li Ji and Fuyucheng, and was being asked by Li Ji about the battle situation.

"The commander-in-chief has ordered his subordinates to pretend to be 20 troops to set up camp. The fighters are only here for a few days. If they do not attack for a long time, I am afraid that Goguryeo will see the clues. Does Fuyu City have a plan?" Li Ji asked Li Chengqian.

It can be seen that Li Ji is not in a good mood. Although Li Ji is a good-tempered Confucian general among the generals, but a group of junior boys will rely on a group of junior boys to let an old general stand behind and watch?No matter how you think about it, it's awkward.

If everyone doesn't know about this matter, it's fine, it's just a group of juniors beheading and playing nonsense, but the emperor Li Er called the veteran to be the queen. Whoever took this task will inevitably not understand, and almost no one believes that a group of people who have never really fought Can your kid take on the heavy responsibility of destroying the country?

If it is really realized, wouldn't the Emperor Daye who failed in the three expeditions to Goguryeo in the former Sui Dynasty have to get up from his grave?

Li Chengqian said respectfully: "Commander, Vice General Du had already set off as a special envoy a few days ago, and now he has successfully negotiated with Khitan and Shi Wei about borrowing troops. I believe that Mohe will be taken again in a few days. By then Everything is ready to go.”

"Yeah, I got it, five days later I will directly issue a letter to Liaodong City to declare war, and then I will do my best to attract the Goguryeo army to the front.

But we will not take the initiative to attack and start a war. Unless Goguryeo attacks, this plan will be seen through in five days at most, so you seize the opportunity by yourself. "Li Ji ordered.

"Thank you sir!

But the general is puzzled, why don't we declare war after we have gathered our troops and informed you?Wouldn't it be more foolproof then?If not, in case something happens and delays."

Li Chengqian saluted respectfully, and put forward his own opinion.

Li Ji took a deep look at Li Chengqian, if it wasn't because the other party was a prince, Li Ji would not be so polite at all.

Shaking his head, he said earnestly: "Wars are not child's play, the battlefield is unpredictable, and there is never a time when everything is safe. We should not only consider our own advantages, but also calculate our own disadvantages and the enemy's advantages.

Although you are sure to gather 20 barbarian miscellaneous soldiers, the longer the delay, the greater the possibility of leaking secrets.

And here we are confronting Liaodong City, and Uljideok on the opposite side is a famous general. If he doesn't attack after a long battle, he will be seen through sooner or later.

According to my calculations, the time left for you is only ten days at most. "

Li Chengqian was convinced, "Thank you, Marshal, for your guidance, I will go back and inform the generals in Fuyu City."

Li Ji sighed: "I really don't know what your majesty thinks, but letting a group of brats go to the battlefield, wouldn't it be counterproductive?

If it wasn't for this time that we can guarantee that our Tang Dynasty will not be harmed, the old man will never agree to fight such a trifling matter between the two countries.

Go back and tell Su Lie and Xue Rengui that even if you borrow 20 barbarian soldiers, you should be careful, after all, they are mobs.Really facing the elite army of Goguryeo, how powerful it is still needs to be weighed.

If you can't do anything, try to protect yourself and come back, you are still young, and there is no rush to make contributions. "

In the last sentence, Li Ji's voice lowered, and Li Chengqian heard an elder's concern for the younger generation, and it was definitely not just because Li Ji's son Li Zhen was also in Fuyu City.

Back in Fuyu City, Li Chengqian told Su Lie and others the original words, Xue Rengui recalled: "Master once taught that when you are more infallible and more complacent, it may be the time when you show your flaws the most.

Dashuai Li is right, we are running out of time. "

"Now we are short of soldiers from the Mohe clan, and I don't know how Qinglian is doing?" Fang Yiai asked worriedly.

Su Lie, who was seated at the top, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It has been a long time since Beisha City was burned, Yuan Gaisu is not a mediocre master, he must have noticed something.
