Heaven and earth open up, the sun and the moon shine again. When encountered, he was resigned. will sweep away the filth and return to the hometown.

Clear thousands of miles, total eight wilderness. Tell the old man and wait for the sin. ———— Sima Yi "Expedition to Liaodong"

————————————————————————————

The streamer is fleeting, and the sun and the moon are like a round of wind and rain. The country is like a dream, and the golden iron horse fights for a hundred times.

On October 28, the eighth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, led his ministers to worship the heavens and issued the "Edict of the Expedition to Goryeo", which is as follows:

Huanyu Shengde, the frost is in the autumn season; The sage is benevolent, and the armor is in the penal code. Therefore, there is a slaughter in creation, righteousness is selflessness, and the emperor's use of soldiers is not obtained.

The Yellow Emperor 52 wars, the 27th march of Chengtang, the princes of Fang Naide, ordered the world. Goryeo barbarians, Li Jian's thieves, I still ask for it.

，，，，，，，，

But the teacher of the king, the righteous survive and stop killing, and the teaching of the sage will also defeat the remnant. If Li Jianni is the head of the gate, he will return to Sikou, and the rest of his subordinates will be returned to the court and Fengshun, and I will only be appointed according to the amount, and there will be no Yixia. If they resist fiercely, they do not obey the official army, and the state has permanent punishment, plus exhaustive.

Today and tomorrow will be revealed, and you should be called me.

Then he ordered 1.2 million troops and set out on the day of Keri.

The Son of Heaven of the Great Sui used troops, and his prestige was huge, and he informed the world in advance that he divided his troops into 12 ways, each with 100,000 soldiers.

is also with the ambition of 'clearing thousands of miles and gathering the eight wildernesses', the emperor of the Great Sui did not have the slightest bit of Sima Yi's cautious mentality, but regarded himself as the Yellow Emperor and the successor of Chengtang.

The Great Sui is a government military system, and the sergeants are soldiers, and they are for the people in their spare time, and they need to prepare their own armor and weapons for battle, except for the 500,000 Xiaoguo forbidden army in the center of the imperial court.

At the beginning of November, winter came, but the army of millions of lions marched towards Liaodong under the edict. Between the vast white mountains and black waters, the army of the Great Sui Expedition to Liao marched like a snake with difficulty, trampling a large area of snow to melt away, revealing the weeds hidden below, making it more lush in the coming year.

The marching right guards were not afraid of the wind and snow and rushed to the front line. There were two Haidongqing flying in the sky, and the mountains in the distance were towering, snow-capped, reflecting the lush black flag of the army, showing harmony and slaughter.

The sound of the hooves of fifty horses sounded from the rear, and they soon overtook the central army and caught up with the vanguard who was patrolling and exploring the way ahead.

When they arrived in front of the vanguard flag, the cavalry grabbed the reins and slowed down, and when the first knight crossed the crowd, he condescended and said coldly: "Where is the high virtue?" ”

"Bold, who are you? Dare to call my master by name! Wei Chi snorted solemnly, and the thunder whip in his right hand was horizontal, and the fierce and murderous aura shrouded the surroundings.

Liu Zhuang didn't see how to move, and the giant bow behind his back had already fallen into his arms, and the heavy arrow was ready to go!

Gao Si's 2,000 soldiers originally belonged to the Eighth Rear Army. But for some reason, the general of the Right Tunwei asked to be the vanguard, and he was also transferred to the vanguard army in a daze, so the situation in the future will be even worse.

The team of knights was shocked by Wei Chigong and Liu Zhuang's anger, and they didn't dare to be rude anymore.

Gao Si smiled slightly: "In order to have a rush in the way of the general, the soldiers should not be in a hurry, and if they are in a hurry, they will be chaotic; We must not be slow in administering the military situation, and if we are slow, we will neglect the military aircraft. ”

After teaching his subordinates, he said: "The way to govern the army lies in strict discipline!" Brother Baiyao, Zhang Huoling, the affairs of the army are temporarily entrusted to the two of you, and I will come when I go. ”

In the 21 st century, the basic method of military training emphasizes the need for iron-like discipline, and the recruits who are familiar with each other when administering the army must be broken up and reorganized, but this is maintained by relying on the unprecedented means of communication in the modern state.

In ancient times, when this condition was not at all, the training of non-commissioned officers was often based on the same clan and township, so that a "father and son soldier" with strong combat effectiveness would be formed, and one person would be killed or wounded, and the whole army would be brave, and often able to win more with less.

But this situation will inevitably lead to serious consequences of huddles, which Gao Si knows very well.

In modern parlance, if you take a big step, you will pull the egg; If you tighten your mind too tightly, you will collapse.

Seeing that the group of knights was still waiting, Gao Si didn't embarrass the other party too much, pointed to the knight at the front and asked, "What is the name of the general, what is the matter with calling a certain family?" ”

"Gao Xianxian, I am offended. A certain Wu Benlang Meng Jincha, on the order of the marshal, invites you to the Chinese army for a talk. Meng Jincha immediately explained his intentions.

"Yes, I see. General Meng, please lead the way. After Gao Si finished speaking, he thought about it, and then said: "The name of General Mai, I have admired me for a long time, and I don't know what to call me?"

"High pioneers don't have to worry...... The handsome man has a lot of praise for you, please! Meng Jincha seemed to have scruples, but he didn't want to talk more about the inside story.

The right guard general Mai Tiecane, a native of Shixing in the south of the Yangtze River, was brave and powerful when he was young, and he could travel 800 times a day and race horses. After joining the army, he was favored by Emperor Chen Xuan and selected to be Chen Shubao's guard.

It's a pity that Empress Chen doesn't know heroes, so he regards them as slaves and often uses them to play umbrellas. Mai Tiezhu was depressed, followed by Chen Houzhu to surrender to Sui, and belonged to the command of Yang Su, the prince of the country, fought bravely and shined.

Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, also appreciated him very much, first promoted him as a general of the chariot cavalry, and then crowned him as the general of the Shangzhu State and the right Tun Wei, so that he jumped from a subordinate servant to a general, a cadre of the country.

Wheat iron staff, young and poor do not know books, and fight with bravery. Middle-aged and ambitious, break the knot and go to school. Old and successful, skilled in the legal system, under the rule of the group of thieves extinct.

The process of this transformation is very hard, which shows that this person is not an idle and reckless man.

The most famous thing about the wheat rod is its loyalty. In the history of the previous life, when he conquered Liaodong, he invited himself to be a pioneer, but he fell ill on the way, and Sui Junlang persuaded him to go to the book of the Son of Heaven to return home to cultivate, but Lao Mai said: "The husband has his own destiny, and he should serve the field, and the horse leather shroud will be returned." How can you die of old age on a sickbed? ”

When he was about to cross the Liao River, he knew that his fate was not long in coming, and said to his three sons: "I am deeply favored by the emperor and loyal to the country, just today." Loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, you should be encouraged! ”

He was the first to cross the river and fought to the death with the Goryeo barbarians.

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he was also weeping, and issued an edict saying: "The iron rod is full of ambition, dreams of Xun Yong, accompanies his subordinates to ask for crimes, and first ascends to the battlefield, and he is a martyr of righteousness and martyrdom, and his body is still alive." It was posthumously presented as the Duke of Su Guo, and he was nicknamed Wu Lie.

The king treats each other with sincerity, and the minister will repay him with his life, this is the wheat iron rod!

There is a saying that 'the old man is a capable person', how dare Gao Si underestimate the other party?

Sure enough, along the way, the army was in good order, and Gao Si immediately secretly used his supernatural powers to watch the good luck, showing it: "The omen of the great evil." ”

The group rode their horses and galloped, and soon arrived at the Chinese army, and before they could get off the horse, someone in front of them clasped their fists on the horse and saluted: "A certain Mai Jicai, waiting here for a long time, Gao Xianxian, please!" ”

Gao Si smiled and nodded in thanks, and turned his horse to follow the other party to the military tent.

Because the coach had already arranged it, and the major general led the way, there was no obstruction along the way. Therefore, the curtain of the Chinese army's tent was raised, and Gao Si soon saw the right guard general Mai Tiecane.

I saw that there was a square-faced man sitting on the bed in the big tent, with a lion's mouth and a wide nose, looking forward to his own pride, even if he was sick, he also had a majestic atmosphere, and this person was a wheat iron rod.

There are two young generals around him, his eldest son Mai Mengcai and second son Mai Zhongcai. At this time, it was already a cold winter, the weather was cold, and there were many soldiers who froze to death, and it was not surprising that the wheat iron rod from Jiangnan was sick.

Gao Si was a newcomer, and when he saw the boss, he immediately saluted and hugged his fists and said: "The last general is Gao Chongde, see the general." ”

After he finished saluting, he didn't say anything else, but instructed the second and younger sons: "You two take those two strong men to rest for a while, the old man and Gao Xianfeng have something to say." ”

"Yes, Father!" Mai Zhongcai responded, he hurried to the barracks to prepare the reception place, and Mai Jicai stepped forward to guide Liu Zhuang and Wei Chigong.

"Liuzhuang, although you and the two young generals go down, don't make trouble." Gao Si advised.

"Yes!" Soon there were only three people left in the tent.

"Chongde, do you remember the old man? We had a one-sided relationship. This time, Zhaoer came to discuss military affairs. Mai Tiezhu arched his hand and said, very politely: "I have three sons, all of whom follow me to serve the country, but they are all just middle-aged people. ”

Speaking of this, Lao Mai showed a worried look on his face and said: "The old man thought that the expedition to Liaodong would be able to overcome it in one fell swoop, so he asked himself to strike first, but he didn't know that he lost 20% of his troops before he arrived. Wen Ru is talented, so he asked. ”

Let's not talk about whether I really like myself or not, and my attitude is indeed very sincere.

"Dare to disobey?" Gao Si looked overjoyed and hurriedly said.

After calming down, I remembered that when I pacified the rebellion of Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty, I had indeed seen Mai Tiecane from time to time, and the other party commanded the front army, and the fighting courage was also a distinctive style among the generals.

After a response, he got to the point, Gao Si still couldn't help but say: "The last general's reputation is not obvious, how can the general know me?" ”

Mai Tiezhu laughed and said: "In the battle of Jinyang City, Gao Langjun commanded Ruoding, and the old man was impressed. Our army is advancing at this time, what are the odds of victory? Say it, don't scruple. ”

Gao Si looked up, and saw that Mai Tiecane was heroic, dragging the sick body and still not forgetting to defeat the enemy, but he had to tell the truth, because this was the only chance to change the fate of the former army!

He sighed lightly and said, "I beg your pardon for the words of the last general, alas, we have no chance of winning this crusade at all. The imperial court rushed to promote the army, and the cold winter came, and when it snowed heavily, the morale of the soldiers lost three points. ”

Mai Tiezhu glared and said: "Boy, our army is a million soldiers, and Yu Wenshu is a famous general in the world, and he is rigorous in his use of soldiers, how can he have no chance of winning?" ”

Gao Si shook his head and continued: "It was Yuwen Shu who was the general, commanding the whole army, and the last chance of victory in this battle was lost. ”

Mai Tiezhu was stunned, although he didn't deal with Yuwen Valve, but he still recognized Yuwenshu's talent, and said: "You are biased, the old man knows that you have an enmity with Yuwenshu, but Yuwenshu's ability is recognized by the court." In this way, after this battle, the old man will personally write to His Majesty as a guarantee to eliminate the enmity between you. ”

Gao Si didn't answer, but said: "Yuwenshu is a famous general, but he is not handsome. The husband is a general, but he forgets his home, and his selfishness is too heavy. Commanding an army is acceptable, but being the commander of a million-strong army is not virtuous. What's more, he dispatched the general you as the first army, obviously using the right guard as a pawn to test the combat strength of the Goryeo barbarian army. According to the boy's humble opinion, the general should stop on the west bank of Liaoshui and wait for the arrival of the army before marching. ”

Mai Tiezhu had already agreed with Gao Si's opinion when he heard this, and Yuwen Valve's greed was also well known. But after thinking about it, he laughed at himself: "The old man asked for his life to be the vanguard army, how can he be afraid and not move forward?" But this kid has a point. ”

Thinking about it, he stepped forward and said to Gao Si: "The army will stop, and the Son of Heaven will decide." From now on, you will stay in the Chinese army and join the army. ”。

Gao Si had no choice but to say, "I respectfully accept the order." ”

At the same time, thousands of miles away, the two major grain chiefs also sent people to inquire about the military situation on the front line.

In the city of Bianzhou, Yang Xuangan climbed to the top of the city, looked at the Taotao River, and muttered: "The time is coming. ”

"The saint can rest assured that the minister Li Yuan will prepare the grain and grass, and there will be no mistakes. If there is an extension, be willing to be court-martialed. "Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Kingdom, swore to the sky in the Youzhou Palace, and finally moved the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui and appointed him as the acting governor of Youzhou to guard the grain route of the army.
