#1375 - Central Plains will definitely rebel
Just as he said to Luo Yi, Wang Yan was indeed making preparations step by step.
He ordered the entire army to prepare for war and practice military formations. At the same time, he wrote to the Cardinal Palace, requesting the transfer of military funds and the command of the Shandong Navy.
Of course, all his petitions were approved, as long as he fought well, and no one in the court would hold him back. But it was another story at the local level.
At the same time, he spent more than a month walking around the defense line against Goguryeo, encouraging the soldiers and chatting with the generals and officers of various troops.
To fight a war, you must know yourself and your enemy, and knowing yourself is ahead.
This was different from fighting on the grasslands, when he led mostly his own troops, all cavalry, and fast mobile operations. Now that he had a new unit and was fighting in a complex terrain of mountains, plains, and hills, the impact was still great. Although the soldiers respected him very much, they lacked understanding, especially the ability and character of some generals and officers.
This has a huge impact during war.
The fighting method in complex terrain is different from that on open grasslands. Generally speaking, it is a positional war that advances layer by layer, constantly eliminating the positions in advantageous terrain occupied by Goguryeo, and so on, until they reach the Goguryeo royal city.
Wang Yan did not act in secret, but spoke out loudly to let Goguryeo know clearly that they were already organizing their army and that large amounts of money, food and supplies were being transported here in preparation for a war.
As a result, Goguryeo also began to make frequent moves, deploying troops and generals. They even arrogantly upgraded the scale of the harassment and friction that had been going on for a long time, from the previous 180 people to a small-scale group battle of several hundred people.
And they don’t fight in other places, they fight wherever Wang Yan goes.
Wang Yan was amused...
After a long journey, he returned to Peiping and reviewed the troops there.
On the training ground, there were sounds of "Hehehe" and "Hahehe" as the soldiers lined up neatly to practice martial arts. The heroes mixed in the team also followed along listlessly.
They were indeed listless. In comparison, their individual combat capabilities were pretty good. The worst could fight two or three soldiers alone. Moreover, they were used to being free and undisciplined, so of course they felt uncomfortable among a bunch of big-name soldiers.
If Wang Yan hadn't given the order that they must practice military formations in the army and they didn't dare to run away, they would not have done it and would have given up long ago.
Wang Yan stood on the stage with his hands behind his back, looking around and getting a good idea of the situation of this group of people.
But he didn't care. After all, these people could actually be officers. Most of them could read and write, and they had some decent outlaw spirit. These people boasted and laughed, and they could build good relationships with their soldiers and win their hearts.
But they have no military background, they are just aggressive individuals, and they don't know how to fight. So it is necessary to receive professional military training. When the war really starts, they will not be killed by the enemy's formation, but can still exert their own combat effectiveness and kill more people, which is always worthwhile.
After they fight for a while and some of them die, the remaining ones will be the most useful generals.
As for whether they hold a grudge or not, this is not within Wang Yan's consideration. If they don't fight, they dare to bar their teeth at Wang Yan and say some complaints. If they fight, it will be like an ant meeting the sky, and they will know how terrifying Wang Yan is.
This terror does not only refer to his bravery as a general, but also his invincible command ability in deploying troops and the loyalty of his soldiers who are willing to fight to the death for him. These combined make up the real terror of Wang Yan.
After the martial arts performance was over, the teams dispersed to train on their own, and Wang Yan found a group of bandits.
"It's been two months now. Have you adapted well?" He asked kindly about the gang's life in the army.
"Great." Cheng Yaojin patted his belly, "I, Old Cheng, enjoy everything I eat. I feel very comfortable."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that the military meals would have meat, especially the big meat soup, oh my, it smells so good..."
Then a group of people started talking and laughing.
Wang Yan also laughed and waved his hands. After everyone quieted down, he said, "It seems that you can't wait to go to the battlefield. You have also learned the art of combined attack in the army. Haven't you been unwilling to be a pawn for a long time? It's time for you to earn military merit.
Recently, our Great Sui army has been frequently mobilized, and Goguryeo knows about it. They dared to send more troops to challenge the military might of the Great Sui without actively paying tribute. Wherever my family goes, they go there, which is really hateful. Today, good brothers, take a good rest, eat and drink enough. Tomorrow, if the barbarians come to challenge us again, brothers, go and kill them.
Ten heads will make you a deputy commander, fifty heads will make you a deputy commander, a hundred heads will make you a commander... The war is about to start, and it is the right time for a good man to be promoted to a marquis. What do you think, brothers, do you dare to go?"
"Go ahead. Anyone who doesn't go ahead is a coward." The crowd shouted.
Cheng Yaojin, Wang Bodang, Xu Shiji, You Junda, Qi Guoyuan... Scanning the faces one by one, these people from different groups gathered together because of the catastrophe in the Central Plains.
Wang Yan nodded with satisfaction: "Then it's settled. We'll slaughter pigs and sheep in a while, and you can eat and drink well. On the battlefield, life and death are determined by fate. For those who die, I guarantee that the pension will not be reduced by a cent. For those who live, the merits they deserve will not be reduced at all. Those who risk their lives to kill the enemy will be rewarded handsomely.
The kitchen has prepared plenty of wine and meat, but be careful not to drink too much. Drinking too much will cause trouble and bring trouble to your brothers. There is no need for the barbarians to chop you down. I will use your heads as a sacrifice first."
"How could that be possible, my lord? We brothers all know that we never get drunk before a battle."
"I have military duties to attend to, so I won't accompany you. Go ahead and eat and drink well."
Wang Yan waved his hand, then left with a smile and returned to the general's tent in the military camp.
The war is now on the verge of breaking out, and all materials have been almost prepared and are still being dispatched in a steady stream. Even the atmosphere in the entire border area feels grim.
The common people living here and the merchants doing business here can all feel that the pace of life in the border area has quickened, and the messengers delivering news are running around in large numbers.
However, people's hearts were not shaken, because everyone knew that Wang Yan had come, and this time the war with Goguryeo would be led by Wang Yan.
The legendary story of Wang Yan is known to the whole world. He was immediately granted a title of nobility and defeated the Turkic people. Until now, he has always won great victories and made a lot of money. Everyone from top to bottom has been enjoying a good life.
The people here all have confidence in Wang Yan. Even some local bigwigs who were robbed by Wang Yan in the past two months did not run away with their families. It was because they had confidence in Wang Yan.
Of course, on the other hand, the influence of the big families in the border areas is limited. If they run away, it will be equivalent to having nothing. The greed of the small landlords is there, and they will definitely not give up their wealth...
Seeing Wang Yan walk in, Li Jing greeted him and then prepared the tea set to pour tea.
As Wang Yan’s good brother, he would definitely think of Li Jing when something good happens.
Even during the previous catastrophe in the Central Plains, Wang Yan did not let Li Jing participate, but sent him to the relatively safe grassland to guard. This time, fighting Goguryeo and earning military merits was a great opportunity, so of course he had to bring Li Jing along.
Moreover, Li Jing was not a drag, but a helper. Wang Yan gave full trust to Li Jing and planned to let him lead a part of the army to fight alone this time. Currently, Li Jing was working as his deputy, which also allowed Li Jing to have a grasp of the overall situation of the war.
"Is everything arranged?" Wang Yan asked while drinking tea.
"Basically, the arrangements have been made. Including the navy, our Great Sui army will be divided into four groups..."
Li Jing summarized the combat objectives of this battle, as well as the combat plan formulated by Wang Yan, and the progress of the corresponding plans.
Wang Yan nodded: "So, the war can start in half a month."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"That's right."
"You should leave tomorrow and get familiar with the troops. Anyone who disobeys orders will be directly killed. After the 20th, there is no need to report and the attack can be launched as planned."
"Yes." Li Jing responded, then asked in a low voice, "In Daxing..."
"At present, it seems that your majesty and all the officials support the war. Our Great Sui has been cultivating for many years and has sufficient money and grain. According to the current scale, it is enough to support the war with Goguryeo for six or seven years. It will not affect our Great Sui at all. Do you think Goguryeo can last for six or seven years?"
"The general is in charge personally, and Goguryeo is amazing that they have lasted for two years." Li Jing's face was sincere and his tone was full of respect.
"If we really fight without any worries, it will indeed take two years. But that's impossible, Pharmacist."
"General, do you still think that the wealthy families in the Central Plains are going to rebel?"
"They must rebel." Wang Yan chuckled and said, "Many of the former great families were destroyed. The prominent families of Zhaojun Li, Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Fanyang Lu, and Xingyang Zheng were all defeated. They all understand the principle of the loss of lips and teeth. Although the troops have been disbanded, the suppression of them by His Majesty and the encroachment of the great families in the south and Guanlong on them have not stopped, but have intensified.
They are lambs to be slaughtered, food on the table. If they don't resist, they can only wait for death, it's just a matter of time. If they resist, they can still struggle, maybe there is still a chance to turn things around. And although the big families have suffered heavy casualties and their foundations have been shaken, they still have strength. Otherwise, why would there be siege and killing after I took office?
Later they didn't surround and kill me, not because they couldn't gather enough people, but because they gathered too few people to kill me, so they gave up. Now even Goguryeo knows they want to attack them, how could the big families in the Central Plains not know? While the army is on the march and has no time to spare, it's a good time to fight for your life."
Li Jing's eyes flashed: "So this battle is going to be a tug-of-war?"
"We have to fight to know. If Goguryeo is useless, we can defeat them and save the lives of our brave soldiers. It's not worth it to kill my brothers for those sons of bitches."
"The general cares about the soldiers, no wonder the soldiers love him."
"I dare not forget my humble origins." Wang Yan shook his head and sighed, "Life is not easy, and survival is difficult..."
Seeing the silence of Li Jing, a son of an aristocratic family, Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Alright, pack up and leave. Be careful. Don't live to earn military merits and live to enjoy a peaceful life."
Li Jing nodded, drank the tea in the cup, bowed to Wang Yan, turned and left.
All the big families were dealt with by Wang Yan, including the Wang family of Taiyuan, which had been badly dealt with when Wang Yan suppressed the rebellion. The only one of the Five Surnames and Seven Families that was not dealt with was the Longxi Li family, to which Li Jing's family belonged, because they stood in a relatively accurate position and were far away, so Wang Yan had not been there.
Of course, the main reason was that Wang Yan had never been there, otherwise the Longxi Li family would not have been spared. At best, he could only give Li Jing some face and save some people...
If the famous and wealthy families are all so miserable, let alone those who are not as good as them, their lives are very difficult.
Combined with their previous behavior of daring to raise troops to rebel, Wang Yan concluded that they would definitely take advantage of the attack on Goguryeo to rebel. As he said, the wealthy families in the Central Plains have now reached a dead end. They have no choice but to go all the way and open up this dead end...
After Li Jing left, Wang Yan continued to take charge, sorting out various information and intelligence, making various arrangements, and sending out military orders one after another. The troops across the line made various mobilizations and adjustments, and planned the attack targets of each unit.
Of course, the most important thing is to make various logistical supply arrangements and the various deployments of reinforcements.
Goguryeo was not given to them for nothing, they also had hundreds of thousands of troops, otherwise how could Yang Guang send out a million troops? Yang Guang wanted to defeat Goguryeo in one battle, but due to internal and external factors, he collapsed.
In the past two months, more troops have been mobilized, and the current strength has reached 100,000, including the navy, as many as 120,000, and more troops are being sent in the future.
Wang Yan certainly took it very seriously, and he despised and respected Goguryeo at the same time. In other words, he was more concerned about the lives of his own soldiers.
After all, his negligence would result in the death or injury of thousands of soldiers. Even though fighting was as easy for him as eating and drinking, he was still very cautious.
This is one of the reasons why he likes to focus on development and form a grand crushing trend, because fewer people can die. Of course, on the other hand, it is also mainly easy, there is no need to spend so much time and effort, just work hard on logistics and take steady steps.
However, the current Sui Dynasty did not have the conditions. Although he reformed the military and obtained money and food, the time was too short and there were still many shortcomings.
At the same time, he has to guard against rebellion in the Central Plains, so he has to spend a lot more time and effort.
After such a busy day, the next day, Wang Yan arrived at the small town on the front line. He stood on the top of the city wall and watched the two armies fighting below...
I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
