Chapter 21: Ma Zhou
Although Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers under their hands have also become a big problem for His Majesty Li Er, for fear that the 30,000-six troops will come into contact with the Goguryeo soldiers in Anshi City and stick a knife in the back of the Tang army, so His Majesty Li Er simply threw these people to Xuan Shijing and asked him to leave with him.

"With Lord Ma Zhou here, the minister will be relieved." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
With Ma Zhou here, if something goes wrong, someone will take the blame, who makes Ma Zhou higher than Xuan Shijing in terms of qualifications and experience? If someone wants to attack Xuan Shijing, they have to cross Ma Zhou first.
What official position is Ma Zhou now? Zhongshu Sheren, the Son of Heaven is close to the minister, "with its land in the pivot near, more favors, is to consolidate its position with people, called the phoenix pond." ”
Ma Zhou is the phoenix in the phoenix pool, although he is from a poor family, but if he wants to offend Ma Zhou, he still has to weigh it.
"Although Ma Zhou is by my side, I don't want you to slack off, these surrenders are also very important, and I am relieved of you when I hand them over, don't let down my trust in you."
"Yes." Xuan Shijing responded, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister left Anshi City with these surrendered troops, and before leaving, the minister also recommended a general to you, I think you have also seen it before, that is, the sharpshooter Xue Rengui outside Liaodong City." ”
His Majesty Li Er nodded: "Well, he is a good seedling, I have some impressions." ”
His Majesty Li Er's impression of Xue Rengui now is only on the arrow outside Liaodong City, and he feels that he is a talent and worthy of a marksman, while Xuan Shijing wants to recommend Xue Rengui to His Majesty Li Er, not just as a general with outstanding force in front of His Majesty Li Er, but as a handsome talent.
"The minister plans to let Xue Rengui stay in the army, and ask Your Majesty for permission." Xuan Shijing arched his hand and said.
"That's right, such a person has indeed wronged others when he is placed there." His Majesty Li Er smiled: "I really don't know what the people in the former army did at the beginning, such a person was not even allowed to eat." ”
"In this way, the minister will rest assured, Your Majesty, if there is nothing else to do, the minister will go to Lord Ma Zhou."
"Go ahead and settle your itinerary as soon as possible." His Majesty Li Er instructed.
"Yes."
recommended Xue Rengui to His Majesty Li Er, which can be regarded as Xuan Shijing worthy of this famous general, according to Xue Rengui's ability, it is not difficult to gradually emerge in front of His Majesty Li Er.
As for leading the 30,000 Goguryeo army, Xuan Shijing thought of another plan.
There are many camps in the camp camp of the army, and there are many camps subdivided in the army, and the gap between them is also exquisite, from the art of war, it is called the array, and the military tent of the army is arranged as the array.
After shuttling through the camp for a while, Xuan Shi found Ma Zhou's tent.
After letting the sergeant guarding the door go in and report, Xuan Shijing entered the camp tent.
"Xuanhou? Rare guests. When Ma Zhou saw Xuan Shijing, he got up to greet him.
Ma Zhou was born in a poor family, but if he was just talented, then he would never have come to this position, there are many talented people, but not every one of them is suitable for officialdom, especially between various forces in the court.
"Master Ma." Xuan Shijing bowed his hand and saluted: "A certain party just came out of His Majesty's big tent, has Master Ma heard His Majesty say it?" ”
Ma Zhou nodded when he heard this: "Well, this official already knows, Your Majesty asked me to assist Xuanhou in managing the 36,000 troops of Goguryeo, if there is any need, Hou Ye will be able to speak from the ward." ”
"After all, I still have little experience, and I want a lot of advice from Master Ma, this time I came to visit Master Ma, just to hear if Master Ma has any good ideas." Xuan Shijing said.
"So, Master Hou, please sit here." Ma Zhou beckoned Xuan Shijing to sit down on the side of the bookcase, and he sat opposite Xuan Shijing.
"Xuanhou, the first thing we need to solve is probably how to communicate with those Goguryeo troops...... Ma Zhou said.
The army is full of Guanzhong soldiers with strong roots, who can speak Goguryeo, and they can't shoot one or two dozen slaps.
"It doesn't matter, two of his subordinates were brought from Beisha City, and they have lived in Beisha City for decades, and the soldiers of the former Sui Dynasty can be trusted and speak Goguryeo, and they have been in Beisha City for so long before they have been safe and sound." Xuan Shijing smiled: "Moreover, we can also bring Gao Huanquan." ”
If you talk about the prestige in the Goguryeo army, although Gao Huanquan is a proton, it is always more important than the identity of Xuan Shijing, an outsider.
And Gao Huanquan is used by Xuan Shijing as a mascot, the mascot of the 30,000-6 Goguryeo surrender army, with Gao Huanquan, the 30,000-6 surrender army will not easily make any trouble.
"Great goodness." Hearing Xuan Shijing's proposal, Ma Zhou also knew the joints, and couldn't help but praise: "With the guise of Gao Huanquan, it is much more convenient to act, and there is no need to worry about management problems, so the rest is to consider what to let these people do." Ma Zhou touched the short beard under his chin and thought: "In my opinion, the cold winter has arrived, and the supply of grain and grass in the army has gradually begun to show its shortcomings, it is better to take these Goguryeo soldiers to escort the supply of grain and grass to the army. ”
Ma Zhou proposed to let these people escort the grain and grass, which was already the most appropriate way, but after Xuan Shijing saw the map on Ma Zhou's table, he obviously had a new idea.
"Your Excellency, please look here." Xuan Shijing stretched out his finger and pointed at the map.
"Liaoshui?" Ma Zhou was puzzled, what did Liaoshui do?
"Xuanhou, this Liao water is now frozen, and the sky is freezing, and it is no longer an obstacle." Ma Zhou said.
"Master Ma thinks that if you want to conquer Anshi City, how long will it take?" Xuan Shijing asked.
"If it's fast, it's half a month, and if it's slow, it's ......." Ma Zhou said here, his tone began to hesitate, what is the situation in Anshi City, everyone knows it, how long it will take, whether it can take Anshi City, no one dares to say.
"When the army returns to the court, I'm afraid it's already spring, although the climate in Liaodong is not as good as that in Guannei, but when the Liaoshui shoal marches will be a quagmire." Xuan Shijing said.
"Xuanhou is this to clear the retreat for the army?" Ma Zhou looked at Xuan Shijing with an inquiring gaze.
"You can't transport grain and grass for so many people, can you?" Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
Ma Zhou pondered, thinking about whether Xuan Shijing's plan was really useful for the army and not useless, his eyes fell on the location of Liaoshui on the map, and his thoughts slowly sank.
