Li Yuanxing and the cabinet master were a little surprised. How could Hou Junji come up with such a word?
Are the Goguryeo people still prepared to fight to the last man?
Li Yuanxing and the cabinet master looked at each other and laughed. Why did Goguryeo engage in guerrilla warfare?
"Call back to Shangshu Hou. There are three basic elements of guerrilla warfare. The first is a leader. The second is a continuous logistical foundation. The third is having enough room for detours. Otherwise, at best, you will be just a bandit."
Li Yuanxing signaled for a call back and read out the message.
The cabinet master also said next to him: "By the way, I want to add another one and let me investigate how much grain there is in the entire Goguryeo. How many official warehouses are there and how many private warehouses are there."
The guard went down to send a telegram.
The cabinet master then said to Li Yuanxing: "Yuanxing, do you know what the food storage safety day is?"
"I've heard that it seems that food is relatively safe when it reaches a certain ratio. I have also investigated before. For example, the highest household in Hu County has enough food for the whole family to eat for ninety-three days, while the worst household only has three days.
, so this family needs to continue to do part-time work in order to make a living!"
"Off topic!" The cabinet master interrupted Li Yuanxing.
"Ah..." Li Yuanxing thought for a while and continued: "During the locust plague, the official warehouses in many states and counties only had enough food for the local people for ten days, but the military warehouses only had enough food for about a month. In fact,
I think this value is already very high. Unless there is a major disaster, this food is considered safe."
The cabinet master nodded slightly: "The public grains of many villages in your Qinwangzhuang have been eaten by the whole village for more than five years. Now let's guess how much grain Goguryeo has in stock and how much the harvest was last autumn. How much did they waste, and now they still have it?
How many, I guess I miscalculated at first and overestimated the national power of Goguryeo!"
"Yes, just let Hou Junji check it out."
Li Yuanxing was not interested in the speculation that the figures would be known soon.
Goguryeo!
Ashinadur stood in a daze in front of an important granary in Goguryeo, while several sergeants were banging on the huge iron lock.
"General, maybe it's empty too!"
Ashnadur shook his head gently, and then sighed again: "This expedition is really boring. It has been five days, and there has not been a single battle."
As Asnadur was talking, the lock had been broken open.
The door, which was half a foot thick, was pushed open, and a very foul smell wafted out from inside.
The troops quickly retreated and opened the door to let out the smell for almost an hour before entering the warehouse.
A large area of dead rats exuded a stench, and then there was the black stuff. I didn’t know if it was the bags of food piled there. A sergeant cut open a bag, and what came out of the bag was not rice at all, but black.
The rice noodles have turned into black rice noodles.
"Retreat!" Ashnadur waved his hand.
What's the use of this granary if even a mouse can be eaten to death?
At this time, not to mention the Goguryeo people, even the Tang army felt the food shortage.
"Check immediately, how many days of food do we have?" Ashnadur asked loudly.
At that moment, an adjutant came over and reported: "General, save your food. If we count everything, it will be enough for us to eat for fifteen days, but the horses will have no beans or carrots, and will only have grass to eat."
"Not a horse!"
"Five days at most." The adjutant answered truthfully.
Ashinadur closed his eyes and thought for a full quarter of an hour: "Send the order, retreat. The Thunder Cavalry retreats to the mouth of the Datong River, where there should be enough food. We cannot starve to death in Goguryeo, retreat!"
A year ago, no general would have dared to say anything about retreat.
Under the new military regulations, this is a strategic retreat. Once it is discovered that the entire army encounters a major crisis, the general can choose to retreat temporarily without affecting other armies. However, if there is a joint occupation with other armies,
mission, you cannot choose to retreat unless all the commanders who are cooperating with you believe that you should retreat temporarily.
Therefore, in addition to the two orders of fighting to the death and defending, the general can choose to retreat 200 miles.
From the location of Ashinadur, the distance to the mouth of the Datong River is only one hundred and fifty miles, so it is still within the range allowed by military regulations.
Two days later, Ashinadur returned to the mouth of the Datong River.
Along the way, he had been thinking about how to write a report on this strategic retreat. After all, it was a retreat.
But when they arrived at the mouth of the Datong River, Ashinadur suddenly burst out laughing.
There were at least twenty generals in the camp at the mouth of the Datong River, and they all probably retreated here.
"How can we fight without food?" When Ashnadur entered the camp, he heard a quarrel in the main tent.
"Nonsense, who said there is no food? In Datong Jiangkou Camp, there is enough food, meat, and fresh vegetables for a hundred thousand troops to feed for three months. You guys just want to attack quickly, and the ratio of combat troops is as high as 80%
Half, one and a half percent of the auxiliary troops, there are still 10% combat auxiliary troops, and only half of the logistics troops, not even a baggage troop, you are just a weirdo if you don't starve to death."
Eighty-five percent.
Ashnadur knew that his team consisted of 100% combat troops, and his original plan was to fight and occupy along the way, and grab food to survive.
But who would have thought that after picking out four grains in a row, three of them were empty, and even he couldn't describe what the last one was.
Naturally, there is a radio station at the mouth of the Datong River, and all the generals are reporting to Hou Junji.
Another day passed, Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty had a signature from Hou Junji on several of his cases. It was neither an apology nor an apology.
Hou Junji reported: The army has wiped out Goguryeo and retreated to the port areas to garrison. Inside Goguryeo, there are no soldiers, no officials, no food, and no one. The minister is confused and puzzled. He specially ordered the entire army to be stationed and select elites to find out the details of Goguryeo.
.
The military report was sent to General Tiance's mansion.
After Li Yuanxing read it, he issued an instruction in the military newspaper: ordering the main force and all the cavalry to move to the Japanese island. He also ordered the auxiliary soldiers to go around Goguryeo to announce that as long as they are willing to move to Hedong, Hebei, and Henan, each household will be immediately given a
One stone of refined grains and two stones of coarse grains. With a hundred acres of land for grain seeds, agricultural taxes are exempted for two years.
Hou Shangshu pacified Goguryeo, his first achievement!
Li Yuanxing's instructions were sent to the palace.
After Li Er read it, he added: According to the order of King Qin!
A telegram was sent, which was an order from the Emperor of Tang Dynasty and General Tiance, King of Qin Li Yuanxing.
All ports with radio stations received Li Yuanxing's instructions.
Hou Junji stared at the telegram for a long time and said, "I don't understand this. If it means that the Battle of Goguryeo is over and the Tang Dynasty has won, it would make sense. But this is not the case.
it's over."
Li Er was also asking this question.
Li Yuanxing then personally entered the palace and explained in detail.
"Brother Imperial, Goguryeo is weaker than I expected. In order to defend against the attack of the Tang Dynasty, Yeon Gaesomun recruited an excessive number of civilians. Many farmlands were deserted and many people fled their homes. If you need an image to explain,
That’s because Yeon Gaesomun has walked the same path as our uncle.”
Li Er understood.
"The former Sui Dynasty was defeated in Goguryeo, and also defeated the whole world. However, Yeon Gaesumun was defeated in the same way, excessively consuming the people's power and causing people to flee their homes. Who would have thought that it only took one year."
After Li Er said this, he walked to the window, opened it, and looked into the distance silently.
"Brother Emperor, Goguryeo is just a small area with no strategic depth. He can only choose national defense, so this consumption is catastrophic. In my brother's case, Yeon Gaesomun built seventy steel plants alone.
My brother asked Zhao Yande to give him coal mines and iron mines. He dug a total of 260 coal mines and iron mines. He built a 500-mile Great Wall and three fortresses. Does the emperor know how many steel mills there are in the Tang Dynasty now?"
Li Er shook his head. He knew the number of steel mills owned by Datang, but he didn't understand what Li Yuanxing meant by this topic.
"Brother Emperor, according to Goguryeo's designed annual output of steel plants, it is seven times the total steel plant currently producing in Datang. The total amount of coal and iron ore excavated by Goguryeo is three times that of Datang. A small
Goguryeo, let’s not say whether he can succeed or not, but his flipping action is not much worse than our cousin’s madness.” Li Yuanxing explained very seriously.
Li Er did not answer, but turned his head and said: "Wu Lang, for my brother, I have issued an imperial edict to General Tiance's Mansion and the Prince of Qin's Mansion. This year, the grain storage per household in Jingzhao cannot be less than thirteen shi. The average household grain storage in each province, Henan
The road in Jiangnan and Huainan cannot be less than eight stones, and the other roads cannot be less than three stones."
Li Er realized that if there was not enough food, it would be an extremely dangerous thing.
Goguryeo's defeat this time meant that he had no food reserves. If Goguryeo had three years of food reserves, then after three years of struggle, those steel mills produced a huge amount of weapons.
In other words, any country with huge food reserves would be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to deal with.
For example, Baiyue.
Baiyue doesn't talk about households, just say that the per capita grain storage is more than ten stones. There is nothing else there, but there is grain. There is a lot of grain, just like weeds, and grain is everywhere. The land is sparsely populated, and materials are scarce. The people may not have enough.
Clothes, no tools, but harvesting rice all year round.
Li Er's concern for food once again rose to a new level.
On the other side, the elite of the Tang Dynasty had already set foot on the island, and a commendation order was also sent to the island, naming Wang Ba as a fourth-grade military attaché, the envoy of the town of Japan, and the title of Minister of the Ministry of War!
After Pei Chengguang got off the boat, the first thing he said when he saw Wang Ba was: "Old Wang, your injuries indicate that you have a strong enemy!"
"Jiangjin City is a strong enemy and I have to fight it down. I can only take it back, Old Wang!" Wang Ba said with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Will they fight?" Pei Chengguang approached Wang Ba and asked in a low voice. Wang Ba grinned: "There are four million Japanese on this island. The number of Japanese who really listen to us is less than 200,000. Do you think they will fight?"
