Chapter 45 Strategy
"Wait, why do anyone call such a name?" Ashi's Daozhen's eyes shone brightly, and she looked very gossipy.
"What?"
"It sounds unlucky to have a difficult life and a difficult labor force. Quan Gasuwen's power will definitely be cut off from the hands of his three sons." Ashin said with a firm conscience.
Su Dawei was speechless, not knowing whether Ashi's true evidence was a meritorious prediction or was it purely a metaphysical prediction.
Although it is a bit unreliable to tell Quangasuwen pills just by listening to the name.
But later history proves that Goguryeo really died at the hands of Quan Nanjian and others.
From this point of view, Dao Zhen’s mouth is simply accurate.
Shaking his head and putting aside his distracting thoughts, Su Dawei continued: "With this news, I carefully examined the information in my hands, and finally I got a very interesting inference."
"What is it?" Su Qingjie looked at him, with doubts in his eyes.
"Let me review the incident."
Su Dawei reached out and dipped some tea and drew some points on the table.
"This is our Siqi City, below is Zhouliu City, above is the northern border, then Mazhaohu City in Goguryeo, and the natural harbor.
After a winter blockade, the food outside could not be in Siqi.
It is not difficult for the rebels to predict that our army is short of food.
So, at this time, there were weapons and food collected by the Goguryeo people at Maitiao, which was just a bait. You should have no doubt about this?"
Su Dawei glanced at the three of them.
Seeing that no one asked a question, he continued: "In winter, Daochen went to Pyongyang privately and met Quan Gaisuwen.
They had no way of knowing what they had talked about.
But it must be related to our army.
For Goguryeo and Baekje, the Tang army was a common enemy.
Then the rebels blocked the food and grass everywhere, and did not allow a grain of food to flow into Siqi City.
His idea of using food and grass to conquer our army has become clear.
At this time, it was reported that there were a large amount of food and grass stored by the Goguryeo people in Maithaohu City, and our army would inevitably respond.
This is a conspiracy.”
Su Dawei concluded.
The fingers were dipped in tea and connected by water between Maixunhu, Siqi City and Zhouliu City.
Just like a triangle.
"I know it was an open conspiracy, but our army had to take a risk, otherwise it would be possible that there would be chaos due to shortage of food.
I'm afraid that Daochen and others would have implemented this strategy last winter.
From robbing grain, to cutting off food channels, to inciting rebellions everywhere, forcing our army to shrink the city of Siqi.
This layout can be said to be successful.”
Xue Shaoyi couldn't help but say, "But you, acting governor, have successfully broken through Maishahu and grabbed the food and grass."
"That's what I said just now, God's will is on me."
Su Dawei's fingers were soaked in Maixunhucheng.
"Quan Gai Suwen has already made a very powerful arrangement in Maizhaohu, but later because the three sons are not in harmony and are hindering each other, Quan Nanjian drew some people from Maizhaohu.
The second is Quan Dai. He was in charge of intelligence reconnaissance of our army. As a result, this person deliberately delayed the news and watched Maizhaohu's defenders be wiped out by us without warning in advance."
“Why?”
"Brothers, what else can I do?"
Su Dawei laughed: "Quan Gai Suwen's health is getting worse day by day. His three sons already have their own thoughts and want to inherit Quan Gai Suwen's position.
This time, Quan Gai Suwen also intends to divide his responsibilities on his three sons to see who is better.
But he had been a hero all his life, but he didn't expect that his three sons would pull each other back. It was a cheaper price for me and allowed me to succeed."
Su Dawei said it easily, but Su Qingjie and Ashina Daozhen knew that the real situation must not be that simple.
Even if the three pigs were in charge of Maishaohu City behind, the more than 10,000 defenders in the city were not fake.
The reinforcements of the Goguryeo people were not fake either.
You can accurately find the enemy's flaws, kill one blow, and calmly retreat after you succeed.
He even burned Goguryeo's reinforcements. These methods were not achieved by internal fighting among the three others including Quan Nanjian.
It also depends on Su Dawei's extraordinary vision and courage.
Su Qingjie lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "By the way, Ami, what happened to those Goguryeo warships this morning?"
"Oh, that's part of Goguryeo's backhand."
Su Dawei disliked: "I tried the Goguryeo prisoner in my hand. When I learned that Quan Gai Suwen might be sick and Maizhao Huyouquan was in trouble, I felt that there was a chance to expand the results of the battle, so..."
"so?"
"So I asked Liu Rengui to drive the boat back to Maixunhu City at night."
"What?"
Ashina Daozhen, Su Qingjie and Xue Shaoyi both looked at Su Dawei with surprise, but unexpectedly, Su Dawei actually played a "back-attack" at the Goguryeo people.
"Ami, you are too dangerous! We have broken the city by our army and set fire to the fire. How could the Goguryeo people not be prepared?" Su Qingjie took a breath of air conditioning.
In any case, it was the home court of the Goguryeo people, and the Tang army was a guest army. They were in the enemy country and could not tolerate any mistakes.
"If it were the head of Quan Gai Suwen, I naturally would not dare to test it again, but his son can only be described as a tiger father and a dog son. I want to give it a try."
Su Dawei smiled and said, "At night, I ordered Lou Shide and Wang Xiaojie to take people to shore and lurk to meet him, and An Wensheng and I climbed over the wall."
He didn't say anything later, but the three generals present had rich combat experience. It was already possible to imagine that Maixunhucheng, which was broken by Su Dawei's army during the day, had not recovered its Yuanqi after experiencing the fire, and Su Dawei successfully broke the defense.
"The Goguryeo army in Maizhaohu was wiped out. I didn't kill them all, but just cut off their thumbs and toes, so that they could no longer use weapons and could not be enemies with our army."
Su Dawei's face closed and relaxed.
In any case, issuing such an order and making the enemy disabled is not an easy decision.
But those who are generals must quit the kindness of women.
Being kind to your enemies means being cruel to yourself.
You must suppress your kindness.
Only by daring to kill on the battlefield can you stop killing.
"After that war, I captured hundreds of Goguryeo people and took them on the boat, the ones who had called out on the battlefield before."
"That Goguryeo warship?"
"Maybe the army that had originally planned to eat my Tang army and launch a surprise attack on Siqian City from Maizhaohu, or the boys in Quan were stunned by me."
Su Dawei spread his hands and said, "Along the way, the warships were chased by these Goguryeo navy soldiers. They were almost at Xiongjin Port before they were thrown away."
After thinking about it, he said, "From their performance today, it seems that they plan to cooperate with the Baekje people to capture Siqi. Both sides should have agreed and tacit understanding."
"That is, Baekje and Goguryeo have long conspired to eliminate our army in Siqian."
