He let Wang Yanzhang, Gao Peng, and the others return to camp first, then went to Murong Shu's barracks alone.
When he arrived at Murong Shu's tent, he saw that there were indeed quite a number of people. All the military officers in Lelang City who were above Uncle Du had come. Murong Shu was in the middle, but he didn't expect Pei Ni and the registrar to be there as well.
Seeing Liu Heng come in, everyone looked over. They all knew that Liu Heng was the nephew of the provincial governor. At first, they thought that he was only here to train the recruits to experience life. In fact, he was just an embroidered pillow and would leave soon.
However, the incident of Liu Heng's soldiers causing trouble had caused a huge commotion in the military camp. Liu Heng's reputation had soared, and no one looked down on him anymore.
Pei Yi didn't have much of a reaction when he saw Liu Heng come in, nor was he angry that Liu Heng wasn't in the military camp. He just frowned and called Liu Heng over, continuing to let Murong Shu narrate the military situation.
Murong Shu looked at the map and said," I received a report from the scouts this morning. Yesterday, at noon, the Goguryeon army attacked Tieweng County. If I'm not wrong, they have already broken through Tieweng and are currently heading towards Yangde City. The enemy has about 30,000 men. More importantly, I just received a report from the scouts that the Silla Baekje alliance army of 20,000 has already broken through Hanzi and Teesi.”
Liu Heng was shocked when he heard this. He had thought that the Koreans were only going to be short of food in winter, so they had come to rob the Tangs of their food. He did not expect them to send tens of thousands of troops to attack. My life is just a little better, and I'm about to go to war!
Pei Yi was very calm when he heard Murong Shu's words. The older the ginger, the spicier. He said to Murong Shu,"Commandant Murong, what do you think Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla will do next?”
Murong Shu thought for a moment and said," I believe that Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Gaya have been coveting Le Lang for a long time. This time, Goguryeo only sent 30,000 troops. They definitely don't want to take down Le Lang.
After all, Lelang still has twenty thousand soldiers, and Baekje and Silla will only stop at Wengjin. They are waiting. They will rob the grain we have stored in the city for winter so that they will have food for winter. They will definitely send more troops in the spring of next year. A pincer attack on both sides. At that time, it will be difficult to defend."
"Then what should we do?" Pei Yi frowned. Don't tell me we have to ask Liu Shuo for help?"
Murong Shu didn't know that Liu Heng and Pei Yi had a feud with Liu Shuo, so he nodded and said,""Mm, this is the best idea. Let Liu Shuo pin down the Goguryeon army while we concentrate our forces on Silla and Baekje!”
Pei Yi pondered for a long time and slowly said," Liu Shuo is a smart person. He will never help others for nothing. If he can help us, he will definitely have very high requirements. I know that he has long wanted our land north of the Yalu River. But…"
Liu Heng thought to himself,"But if I don't go and beg him, who will come back to help you? I reckon that the vassals of the Central Plains have just finished their crusade against Li Maozhen and the other rebels."
The Central Plains was still in chaos. No one would have the mood to care about this place. Perhaps this was the time when the land was lost in history. This place was not part of China's territory.”
The tent fell into silence. Liu Heng knew that it was a critical moment for his survival. He hoped that he could explode quickly and solve this thorny problem. He knew that his family business was here, and he did not want to move again.
Liu Heng thought for a while and squeezed out some ideas. He said to Pei Yi,""Uncle, I have a plan here. Can you listen to it and see if it can be implemented?”
Pei Yi had no hopes for Liu Heng at all. When he heard that Liu Heng had a plan, he didn't really believe it. This nephew of his had never fought in a war, so how could he have any useful plans?
Pei Yi stared blankly at Liu Heng without saying anything. Murong Shu spoke first,""Since Ziyu has a plan, quickly tell me.”
Liu Heng first bowed to everyone, then said to Pei Yi,""Uncle, I have three strikes here.”
Pei Yi and the others were shocked by Liu Heng's pretense of being like an ancient person. Pei Yi said,""Oh? I didn't expect you to have such wisdom and three plans. Speak!"
" Of course, I'll do the same thing as Lord Murong Shu," Liu Heng said." I'll defend Le Lang to the death and then ask Liu Shuo for help. However, Liu Shuo probably won't just ask for the land north of the Yalu River…"
When Liu Heng said that he looked at Pei Yi, Pei Yi thought that he meant that Liu Shuo would still want his family.
Liu Heng immediately said," At that time, Liu Shuo will annex the entire Lelang Prefecture and make it his own. At that time, he will also annex Ying Prefecture and Gaimou Prefecture. Then, Liu Shuo will dominate Liaodong. Even the Tang Imperial Court will not be able to control him!”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Pei Ni said in surprise,"Ziyu, do you really think that's possible?”
Liu Heng nodded." According to the theory, Liu Shuo might not have such a time. However, if his descendants have his ability, it's very likely."”
Pei Yi fell into deep thought. After a while, he rubbed his temples and said,""Ziyu, continue!"
"The middle plan is for us to send troops to Yangde and Wengjin. The Goguryeons, Baekje, and Silla have only taken down a few small counties, so they don't have much food. Only by taking down these two cities will they be able to replenish their rations."
As long as we defend these two cities and then fortify the walls and clear the wilderness, they can only mobilize rations from their own country. At that time, their line of defense will be quite long, and we won't even need to send light cavalry to harass them.
When winter arrived, their food delivery would be slow. In addition, they did not have any food to begin with. At that time, they would slowly retreat.”
Pei Yi and the others nodded when they heard this. Some of the generals even laughed and praised Liu Heng's plan. Pei Yi understood and asked,"Ziyu, you've positioned this plan as the middle plan, so this plan still has flaws, right?”
Liu Heng nodded and said," This plan is very good, but there is a big flaw. If we implement this plan, there are still 20,000 to 30,000 people south of Wengjin and north of Yangde. We can't control them at all. Their food will probably be robbed. How can we not save them? When that time comes, they will be completely exposed to the steel knives of the outsiders. I reckon that there will be very few survivors..."
Pei Yi nodded and thought," Ziyu's plan will cost the lives of tens of thousands of people. Although it will save Le Lang, the loss will be huge.”
Pei Yi immediately asked,"Then Ziyu, what's the best plan?"”
Liu Heng smiled." The last note is for us to send out a light cavalry to launch a sneak attack on Songyue City, the capital of Goguryeo. This time, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje are obviously the main characters in the show. If we launch a sneak attack on their capital, their army will definitely retreat. At that time, Silla and Baekje will also retreat. This will minimize our losses and maximize our efficiency.”
Liu Heng paused for a moment before continuing," However, this plan is also the hardest to succeed. Songyue City is still the capital of the Goguryeons, so it definitely won't be too weak. I don't know how many people we should send out. Too few will be useless, and too many will be easy to discover. At that time, we won't be able to launch a sneak attack. Moreover, the soldiers we send out will definitely die, and very few will escape.”
Pei Yi nodded." Ziyu is right. This plan is very good, but not only will it cause us to lose soldiers, but if the Goguryeons find out that we don't have many men, they will also attack us.”
Murong Shu and the others were all in awe of Liu Heng. Who said that this guy was just a useless person in Liaodong City? This was just a legend. This kid in front of them was not even twenty years old, but he knew how to train soldiers and had such great wisdom.
Even Pei Yi, who had always looked down on Liu Heng, felt that he had been wrong in the past. Although Liu Heng's remarks about rejuvenating the country through business had shocked Pei Yi, Pei Yi only thought that Liu Heng had some talent in business. This time, Liu Heng's three strategies made Pei Yi look at him in a new light.
