Chapter 592: Retreat without a fight
"I'm going out at once, have someone cordon off the area, and catch this assassin. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info," said a school captain.
"No need, people are probably running away now." The lieutenant said: "Damn, at that time, the attention was all on the general, and I didn't even find out why the carpet in the big tent was standing behind the weapon rack, the most important thing at the moment is not to chase the assassin who has run away, but to think about how to deal with the affairs in the army, the general is dead, whether we still have to camp in front of Beisha City, or return to Anshi City, how to explain to the general." ”
"yes." Hearing the captain's words, everyone responded one after another.
This deputy general is a close confidant of General Yang Wanchun, who died in Beisha City, how to explain this to the general......
When Chang Le came to the meeting point, the two people who came together had been waiting for a long time, and they were relieved to see Chang Le's figure.
"Master Chang, why did you come back so late, we thought something was wrong with you."
"yes."
Chang Le waved his hand and signaled that the two of them were fine: "Let's go back to Beisha City first." ”
With that, the three of them ran in the direction of the horses, and then rode back to Beisha City.
All night, the military camps in Goguryeo were brightly lit, or in other words, it was better to be lit up to the sky.
Grain, grass and siege equipment are burned, even if there are many soldiers in the barracks, the fire cannot be extinguished for a while, and when the fire is completely extinguished, what remains is just a pile of ashes, whether it is grain and grass, or siege equipment.
Grain and grass cannot be eaten, and siege equipment cannot be used.
"Now the plan, the army has no food and grass, and it can't hold out for a day in Beisha City, and the matter of grain and grass and siege equipment can't be concealed in front of everyone's eyes, and now it can only hide the general's death, and he will return to Anshi City immediately."
In the big tent in the Goguryeo military camp, several captains gathered together, so it was not a matter of stalemate outside Beisha City, and now they can only return to Anshi City and report everything truthfully to the general, what to do in the future, there is finally someone who has an idea.
When Chang Le returned to Beisha City, Xuan Shijing was still resting in the palace, and Chang Le was not in a hurry to go to Xuan Shijing to say that Goguryeo's deputy general had been killed by himself, so he sat on the city wall, looking at the messy Goguryeo military camp in the distance, and waited until dawn.
After dawn, Xuan Shijing finished cleaning up, and he must have come to the long wall to walk around.
"Master Hou."
As soon as the morning dawned, sure enough, Chang Le saw Xuan Shijing who had just walked up on the city wall.
"How's it going?" Xuan Shijing asked after seeing Chang Le.
Chang Le nodded and said, "The grain, grass and siege equipment have all been burned by his subordinates, and his subordinates have also killed him. ”
"Killed?" Xuan Shijing was surprised, he didn't expect Chang Le to perform extraordinarily last night and come to a beheading operation.
"Yes, when the subordinates and others arrived at the Goguryeo military camp, they found that the defense of the entire military camp was more porous than a few days ago, and now that they had the opportunity, their subordinates took action." Changle replied.
Xuan Shijing hurriedly came to the edge of the city wall and looked towards the Goguryeo military camp, but he didn't find anything abnormal, and there was no appearance of the leader of the first army dying and the whole army being plain.
"What's going on?" Xuan Shijing was puzzled, it stands to reason that the leader of the first army is about to die, so there must be a little movement anyway, right?
"What's wrong, Master Hou?" Seeing Xuan Shijing like this, Chang Le was a little puzzled, shouldn't it be a good thing that the other party's lord is about to die? In this way, the city of Beisha can be safe.
"Something is wrong, Chang Le, when you left yesterday, what was wrong in the military camp of Goguryeo?" Xuan Shijing turned his head to Chang Le and asked.
Chang Le shook his head: "After assassinating the main general, I hid in the military tent and was almost discovered, and then a lieutenant came in and found out that their main general was dead and retreated, leaving people to guard outside the big tent. ”
Chang Le told Xuan Shijing everything that happened to him at that time.
"That's ......" Xuan Shijing touched his chin and thought: "Now there is nothing abnormal in the military camp of Goguryeo except for a fire last night, I suspect that someone in the military camp has concealed the death of the deputy general, and they want to keep it a secret, and now their grain and grass have been burned by you, and the rest have no other choice than to evacuate Beisha City and return to Anshi City." ”
"Isn't that good? In this way, we don't have to be terrified all the time. Chang Le said.
"It's a good thing, but it's a little unwilling to let them go like this." Xuan Shijing smiled: "After so many days of careful preparation and calculation, in the end, I found out that it was so easy to let them go back......"
"Then what does Master Hou want to do?" Chang Le asked. If you think about Hou Ye's words carefully, it is true, but with 7,000 people, this piece of meat is too big, and the defenders of Beisha City can't eat it at all.
"Send out scouts, keep an eye on the movements of the 7,000 army, and report back as soon as they find out that they are going back to Beisha City." Xuan Shijing commanded.
"Yes." Chang Le responded.
After walking around the city, Xuan Shijing got off the city wall and returned to the palace, where the topographic map of the Liaodong Peninsula was still placed on the table in the hall of the palace, and Xuan Shijing had looked at the topographic map several times.
"Someone." Xuan Shijing called out the hall.
"Master Hou, what do you command?" Outside the hall, a soldier walked in.
"Order Zhou Ji to go to the vicinity of Anshi City immediately, find a way to find Lord Zhang Jian's troops, and tell him about the situation in Beisha City, and he doesn't have to worry about defending the city, but these 7,000 people will return to Anshi City, and whether they will go back or not depends on Lord Zhang Jian's intentions." Xuan Shijing said.
"Yes." The Nafu soldiers retreated.
Xuan Shijing's eyes looked out of the door, such a big mouthful of fat, Zhang Jian would be tempted no matter what, after all, he has been guarding against Anshi City, and when the battle starts, he is still the calmest there, and the soldiers under his command do not go to the battlefield, which means that there is no merit, just give this favor directly to Zhang Jian, which can be regarded as giving Zhang Jian's troops a credit.
Moreover, Xuan Shijing also bluntly told Zhang Jian that the team of 7,000 people and the defenders of Beisha City were 1,000 people, and the goal was too big to eat.
If you want to talk about being a favor, you also have to pay attention to a way and method.
"Report !!" There was a shout outside the door, and then, a scout trotted all the way into the hall of the palace: "Lord Qiyu, the Goguryeo army stationed outside the city has begun to pull out the camp." ”
"Great!" Xuan Shijing slapped his palm on the bookcase.
