Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Two days passed quickly.

Li Shimin kept receiving news of Mohe cavalry reinforcements in Anshi City in Youzhou City.

The soldiers in the city were very worried and had no confidence in Su Yu's command.

Li Shimin, on the other hand, followed Su Yu to eat and drink hot food all day long, without worrying at all.

Outside Youzhou City, soldiers gathered.

The army layout this time:
The first army: Cheng Yaojin led [-] cavalry to lure the enemy.

The second army: Old Chen and Chen Yuan, together with Li Zhi and Cheng Chumo, commanded the [-] Shenji Battalion.

Originally, only Li Zhi followed this time, but Cheng Yaojin was a scheming bitch, he knew that Lao Chen's Shenji camp must have killed the most enemies.

His son must have made the most contributions with Lao Chen.

After pestering Su Yu softly and persistently, he finally managed to push his son through.

The third army: Li Jing led [-] infantry to set up an ambush in Xiling, and attacked only after Lao Chen's Shenji Battalion defeated Gao Yanshou.

The fourth army: Chai Shao and Xu Shiji led [-] infantry out of the valley from the north of the mountain, preparing to cut off the way back.

The fifth army: Yu Chigong's five thousand cavalry will respond at any time.

The sixth army: Xue Rengui led [-] cavalry to charge and disrupt the battlefield.

Li Shimin stood on the city wall, looked at the army below, and said loudly: "Soldiers and soldiers, today we are going to fight against Anshi City. I am here waiting for your triumphant return."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The soldiers in the city shouted.

However, this is only a superficial phenomenon.

Except for Lao Chen's Shenji Ying who firmly believed in Su Yu's ability, the others actually laughed secretly in their hearts.

They learned about the situation from the general in Youzhou City.

Su Yu made a battle plan, but he was salting fish in the city.

Li Shimin didn't go to the battlefield either, just waiting for them to return from victory.

The calculation in the hearts of the soldiers in Youzhou City is: once the situation changes, they will turn around and run away immediately.

Li Shimin also knew that these people saw Su Yu for the first time, and they didn't know how powerful he was.

So before going out last night, Li Shimin called all the generals, all the way to the captain, into the room.

Li Shimin made it very clear that today's battle must be carried out according to Su Yu's plan.

Anyone who dares to change the battle plan will be killed without mercy.

The generals in Youzhou City didn't know why Li Shimin believed in Su Yu so much, but they were frightened by the emperor's order and dared not disobey.

Li Shimin was on the city wall, drawing his sword and pointing in the direction of Anshicheng.

Li Jing, as the main general on the battlefield, led the troops to set off.

The army had already been dispatched, and Li Shimin watched them leave.

Everyone left, Li Shimin turned around and went down the city wall, back to the backyard.

Su Yu is grilling chicken wings.

"My son-in-law, are you alright?"

Li Shimin asked impatiently.

"It's baked, go get the beer."

Su Yu said.

Li Shimin went into the house to get some wine.

With wine and meat, the two sat and waited for Li Jing and the others to come back after winning the battle.

Not to mention that Su Yu and Li Shimin were salting fish in Youzhou City.

The news of the dispatch of troops from Youzhou City reached Anshi City.

General Gao Yanshou urgently called the soldiers to discuss how to fight.

Gao Yanshou said: "According to Hou Qi's information, Li Shimin dispatched more than 7 troops this time."

"This is about the same number as I estimated. In order to guard against Xue Yantuo's surprise attack, they need to leave troops to defend Youzhou City."

"From the perspective of the number of people, we have an absolute advantage."

All the Mohe cavalry arrived, and the number exceeded Gao Yanshou's estimate.

In all they came with 15 cavalry.

The current strength of Anshicheng has reached 30, four times that of the Tang army.

Lieutenant Gao Bao heard what Gao Yanshou said, and felt that he had the advantage in numbers and wanted to take the initiative to attack.

"General, under the management of Li Shimin these years, the Tang Dynasty has enough soldiers and provisions, and it is unstoppable."

"And this time, Su Yu, who is known as the God of War in the Tang Dynasty, is also called. This person is said to have killed Turkic Heli."

"We must be careful with such a person, and we must not speak war easily."

Gao Bao advised.

The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty can be seen from Youzhou City.

The common people there used to not have enough to eat, but now ordinary people live a better life than the nobles in Goguryeo.

This made Goguryeo greedy for the wealth of the Tang Dynasty.

They stole the seeds of the crops, but Koguryo is in Liaodong, where it is relatively cold, so it is okay to grow potatoes, but it is not easy to grow corn.

Moreover, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is not as simple as farming.

Over the years, Su Yu has tinkered with a bunch of good things.

They have no technology and cannot replicate it.

Gao Yanshou pondered: "The general is worried that Su Yu will lead the troops in person."

"The wolf cavalry of Turkic Heli were so terrifying, they died in the hands of Su Yu."

"Our only ghost cavalry that can compete with Su Yu is gone. It is impossible to confront Su Yu head-on."

Liaodong borders East Turkic, and Gao Yanshou met it once.

At that time, King Rongliu of Goguryeo hosted a banquet for Heli, and a general challenged him during the banquet, which angered Heli.

Fifty wolf cavalrymen killed thousands of people in Goguryeo, King Rongliu and Gao Yanshou fled.

Su Yu can kill Heli, his strength is extremely terrifying in the eyes of Gao Yanshou.

"That's right, Su Yu is too scary, it's better for us not to fight."

"This is also what Damo Fragmentation means. Let us stick to the city, wait for the cold winter to come, and then counterattack."

Gao Bao said.

Gai Suwen was a powerful minister of Goguryeo, who had controlled the government of Goguryeo for a long time.

The original King of Goguryeo was King Rongliu.

King Rongliu originally wanted to eradicate this powerful minister, so he set up a Hongmen Banquet.

Unexpectedly, when the news leaked out, Gai Suwen would use his tricks to kill the king at the banquet, and then kill the ministers to build his prestige.

After that, he supported King Baozang to the throne and firmly controlled the Goguryeo government.

Gao Yanshou was afraid of Su Yu, but he was not reconciled.

At this time, a spy came in from outside the door.

"General, to be sure, the main general this time is Li Jing, Duke Wei of the Great Tang Dynasty."

The spies paid homage.

Gao Yanshou asked in surprise, "Where's Su Yu? He's not coming?"

The spy replied: "Su Yu doesn't go out in Youzhou City, and the Emperor of Tang Dynasty doesn't go out either. The two of them drink and roast chicken wings in Youzhou City."

Gao Yanshou was shocked.

In the battle between Datang and Goguryeo, neither Su Yu nor Li Shimin will come?
Are you still eating grilled chicken wings in Youzhou City?
"Ridiculous! How is it possible! This must be Su Yu's trick! Go and find out!"

Gao Bao scolded.

The generals of Goguryeo talked a lot, thinking it was too nonsense.

The spies replied: "Deputy General, I can't believe it even if I'm a low-ranking officer, but it's true."

"Humble job inquired several times, that's it."

"If it's not true, please behead me."

The spies thought it was too ridiculous at first.

In such a big battle, neither Li Shimin nor Su Yu went to the battlefield.

Gao Yanshou suddenly laughed wildly.

"Su Yu bullies me too much, thinking that I have no one in Goguryeo."

"To actually drink and roast chicken wings in Youzhou City, we are sure that we dare not fight."

Gao Yanshou snorted coldly.

Gao Bao persuaded: "General, what if this guy cheats and secretly goes to the front line to command?"

Gao Yanshou shook his head and sneered, "No, there is one thing that everyone knows."

"Su Yu's nickname is Salted Fish Son-in-Law, and he spends his days at home waiting to die."

"He definitely doesn't want trouble, so he doesn't go to the battlefield."

Su Yu’s salted fish name not only spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, but even Goguryeo knew it.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

"Even if Su Yu is salted fish, why doesn't Li Shimin come out?"

"The last general heard that he fought wars since he was a child, and he always went to the front line in person."

Gao Bao said.

He still thinks it's a fraud.

"No, Li Shimin hasn't fought any more wars since he became emperor."

"Do you remember that in the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic Jieli, it was Li Jing who led the troops."

"This time it's Li Jing again."

"Although I don't know why, I'm sure that Li Shimin is not in the army."

Gao Yanshou laughed out loud.

What he was most afraid of, Su Yu, didn't come.

Li Shimin, who was personally recruited by the imperial driver, actually fished with Su Yu in Youzhou. This is a godsend opportunity.

Gao Yanshou sneered and said, "Pass down our military order to form an formation in front of the mountain outside the city to meet the enemy."

Gao Bao was startled and persuaded: "The general is not allowed to fight, this is Mo Zhili's intention."

Gao Yanshou smiled and said: "The general is outside, and the king's order is not accepted. I am the general, follow my orders."

All the generals wanted to fight, and followed Gao Yanshou out of the city to form an army.
