Chapter 187: Traitor Hu Sizheng

、、、、、、、、、、

Yu Ming nodded at Qin Qiong, expressing satisfaction with his answer. Then, he asked Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chi Jingde, Luo Shixin, and others about the difficulties and problems they encountered in the process of training recruits. Then let everyone discuss and brainstorm to solve the problem.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours, and seeing that the sun was almost noon, Yu Mingfang looked around at the generals in the tent, and then said: "Generals, at the moment, we are all surrounded by enemies in Liaodong, and everyone should work together to tide over the difficulties." Now I'm in the same boat! Everyone has to give their best and row to the other side together! Only if we are united, we can reach the other side safely, if someone does not contribute to the work, hiding selfishness, then everyone will die in the end without a place to be buried! ”

After hearing this, everyone was in awe, clasped their hands into fists, and said in unison: "My subordinates must do their best to defeat the Goryeo coalition army and pacify Liaodong!" The Great Sui will win! ”

……

Just when the Liaodong battalion was gearing up and training in full swing, the battalion of the Goryeo coalition army was also discussing the current countermeasures.

In a big green tent, Gao Jianwu, Yizhide, Kubulai, Hachi, Abaoguo and others all sat anxiously in the tent, their eyes glancing at the door from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.

After a meal, a middle-aged man in his forties walked into the tent. He had a thin face, two locks of clear beard, and was in good spirits, wearing a green cloth robe and a white scholar's scarf on his head. It looks like a wandering scholar.

And when everyone saw the middle-aged man come in, they all stood up impatiently, and said gossipsily: "Mr. Hu, has the main force of the Sui army really withdrawn?" ”

The person who came was none other than Hu Sizheng, the former squire of the Great Sui Army. After following Yang Xuangan's rebellion, he was appointed by him to go to Goryeo and lobby to ally with him and fight against the Great Sui. But what he didn't expect was that not long after he came to Goryeo, Yang Xuangan was exterminated by Yang Guang's troops. And the time of destruction came so quickly that he was also dumbfounded and amazed.

In this case, he would definitely not dare to return to the Central Plains, because he had already become a criminal of the Sui Dynasty, and he would be arrested and killed as soon as he returned. As a result, Hu Sizheng had to live in Pyongyang and make a living by teaching calligraphy.

But in this era of war and chaos, how many people are willing to calm down and calligraphy?

Hu Sizheng's days passed very unsteadily, and he even had the idea of dying.

Fortunately, his plight was accidentally discovered by one of the guards of King Gowon of Goryeo, who reported it to Gowon.

After Gao Yuan heard this, he was also a little surprised. He thought that since Hu Sizheng could be the military squire of the Great Sui, he must still have some ability, so he sent guards to take him in, provide food and drink, and allocated a small mansion for Hu Sizheng to live in.

And this time the Sui army attacked for the first time, and defeated the Goryeo coalition army outside Black Rock City, which made Gao Yuan a little nervous, he thought that Hu Sizheng was very familiar with the situation of the Sui army, and sent him to the front line to serve as a staff member for Gao Jianwu, the commander of the Goryeo coalition army.

Therefore, Hu Sizheng came to the front line five days ago and began to give advice to the coalition forces.

After a cursory observation of the Sui army's camp, he felt that there were many abnormalities. For example, there are a large number of wheel prints leading to the rear of the camp, and the movements of the soldiers practicing outside the camp seem to be a lot rusty, and it seems that almost all of them are new recruits, which is a bit unreasonable.

So, Hu Sizheng volunteered, saying that he would personally take people to the front of the Sui army camp, and he would carefully check the reality of the Sui army. And now, he has finally finished his investigation and rushed back.

"Mr. Hu, how is the situation?" Gao Jianwu stepped forward and asked. Although he could also see some clues, he still didn't think that Hu Sizheng could see it, after all, he was a high-ranking official who served as a squire in the Great Sui Army.

Hu Sizheng bowed his hand at Gao Jianwu and said, "Marshal Qiyu, a great event!" The main force of the Sui army really withdrew! ”

"Oh?" Gao Jianwu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Is this news true?" ”

"It's true!" Hu Si Zhengdao.

At this time, he said eloquently: "I specifically counted the smoke rising from the Sui army camp, and found that the number was much less, at least the number of people reduced was more than 100,000. Although the heavy rain some time ago washed away many traces, some remnants of heavy wheel prints leading to the rear of the Sui army can still be found. ”

And, most importantly, Hu happened to meet an officer he was familiar with before. After giving him fifty copper coins as a reward, Fang learned that due to the rebellion of the Dugu clan and the Yuan clan of the Guanlong lords, Yang Guang had led the main force of the Sui army to withdraw for more than ten days. Now the garrison is his newly appointed marshal of the Liaodong Xing Battalion, Zuo Lingwei General Yu Ming. His strength was no more than 10,000. The reason why so many soldiers can still be seen outside the camp is actually just 100,000 new recruits from the 600,000 people. According to the officer, the recruits had only just taken up arms and put on armor, and had no combat effectiveness at all. Hu Sizheng said in one breath.

"God help me!" After Gao Jianwu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

The other leaders of the coalition forces around him were also very happy in their hearts. They had already planned to retreat to the right bank of the Yalu River and establish a defensive line along the river to stop the ferocious attack of the Sui army. But I don't have confidence in my heart. And the coalition forces such as the Khitan, Tiele, Xi and other tribes have more plans to retreat. Seeing that the coalition forces were about to disperse and go their separate ways, the news suddenly came that the main force of the Sui army had withdrawn, how could this not surprise and delight them.

"Marshal, in that case, we can attack! Since the Sui army only has 10,000, with the strength of our army of more than 100,000, we can naturally easily defeat it. "Abao Grottoes are also rare brave.

"Yes! If you don't attack quickly, it will be difficult to defeat them after a long time, and when their recruit training is successful! Kubrai also said forcefully.

However, Yi Zhide was a little cautious and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you are in a hurry to launch an attack, but you have taken a fancy to the baggage food and weapons and equipment left in the Sui army camp. But don't forget, although Yu Ming is young, he is a commander with both wisdom and bravery, and last year he was also the chief general of the Broken Rear Army, successfully preventing our army from pursuing the main force of the Sui army. This time, Yang Dadao boldly promoted this person to be the marshal of the Liaodong Xing Battalion and took charge of the Liaodong military, which is probably also the reason. If we don't come up with a foolproof plan of attack, I am afraid that we will repeat the mistakes of the past and suffer defeat again! ”

Uljideok's words made several generals of the Goryeo Army immediately sober up, and they knew how difficult the battle was when they faced Wooming last year.

Among the coalition forces, the leaders of those grassland departments were a little disapproving, although they had also suffered losses in the hands of Yuming, but they believed that their strength was now strong, and their strength was several times that of the Sui army. And after experiencing a big battle with Zhang Xutuo, he has an understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Sui army, and he will no longer be as proud and underestimate the enemy as before. Now if you fight the Sui army again, you should not suffer another defeat.

Therefore, they were eager to attack. In particular, the general Park Yong-jeong, whose army strength is the most well-preserved and full of confidence. He wanted to be the first to enter the Sui army camp to plunder.

"Good! Since everyone wants to fight, let's attack! Gao Jianwu saw that everyone asked for an attack, so he had no choice but to agree. He also calculated that if these allies were allowed to defeat the Sui army camp, then when they conquered Liaodong City in the future, they would definitely let their army take the lead. Seizures can't be preempted by others.

After the order was given, the horns of the Goryeo coalition army battalion sounded in unison, the soldiers and horses surged, and groups of soldiers began to walk out of the camp. The clouds of war are gathering again......

……

At this time, Yu Ming was thinking about military training in his big tent, but Red Sleeves hurriedly got into his tent at this moment, and said hurriedly: "Senior brother, the Goryeo coalition army has been dispatched!" Now there is a vanguard marching towards our battalion! ”

"It seems that we haven't been hiding it from them for long. Now that they dare to take the initiative to attack, they must have found that our main force has withdrawn! After hearing this, Yu Ming could only show a bitter smile.

He frowned at this time, and asked Red Sleeves, "Senior sister, how many people are there in that vanguard?" Where is it now? ”

"The vanguard was about 20,000 men. Not long after they came out, another team of people was separated. In the wilderness not far from our camp, there were about 5,000 people. It seems to be observing our situation! Redsleeves whispered.

"Oh! It's nothing, just keep an eye on them, but we need to put our people on high alert. Sister Red Sleeves, you will come with me in a while, and lead thousands of soldiers to come forward to take a look! "Yuming was not surprised to hear that the Goryeo coalition had only sent some scouts out.

After all, Yang Guang led more than 100,000 troops to withdraw, and he divided his troops to the rear to guard the city. Such a big battle, even if it rains, can cover up some traces, but the Goryeo coalition army is not blind and deaf, how can it not know? It is also reasonable for them to send some troops out to observe the situation. And once the Goryeo coalition army found that its camp was really empty, it would inevitably launch a large-scale attack.

"Take a thousand people? Good...... All right! Although Red Sleeves was a little surprised that Yu Ming was going to take a thousand people to observe the movements of the Goryeo coalition army, he thought about it for a while, if he didn't bring more people, in case these thousands of enemy troops suddenly attacked, he and Yu Ming would be in danger.

It didn't take long for the soldiers of the Sui army, who were all dressed in black helmets and black armor, to pour out of the camp like a black torrent, and went straight to the east, and soon arrived at this one, which had just come to the Goryeo coalition army not long before the Sui army camp......
