Chapter 191: Xu Shiji's Decision

Seeing that it was Xu Shiji, Zhang Liang and Guo Xiaoke's faces were shocked, and they hurriedly got up and saluted: "I've seen the general!" ”

Xu Shiji stopped and sighed: "Unexpectedly, in the past few days when I was injured, the situation has changed so much, originally I thought that I could hold back the Sui army for at least one or two months, and I could kill and injure a large number of Sui army's defense line, but it was so easily broken through by the Sui army!" ”

Guo Xiaoke asked, "General, why can't you withdraw?" Now the situation is extremely unfavorable to our army, the soldiers have no will to fight, and the morale is low. ”

"It's very simple, morale can be boosted!" Xu Shiji is authentic word by word.

Guo Xiaoke said hurriedly: "But now the morale of our army has been discharged!" I don't know if the general knows what our soldiers are doing now, they have all packed their bags in private, ready to run away and slip away at any time, if they use such an army to fight against the high-morale, well-equipped, and well-trained Sui army, I am afraid that they will definitely lose! ”

Xu Shiji patted Guo Xiaoke's shoulder, signaling that the other party didn't need to be in such a hurry, he slowly sat down on the main seat, and said: "Xiaoke, I understand what you mean, and I know the mentality of the soldiers now, but I still decided to stay and stick to the camp!" Now, our hearts are unstable, if we retreat to Liyang like this, not to mention whether the Sui army will pursue and kill, just on the road, most of our remaining 100,000 troops may escape, and even some battalion leaders will surrender directly to the Sui army! ”

Guo Xiaoke asked, "Why?" There is food in the dawn, and there is the protection of the city walls and moats, and there is no reason for the brothers to disperse! ”

Zhang Liang understood, and explained: "Because of people's hearts, our retreat is tantamount to telling the brothers that we can't defeat the Sui army, and we can only go back to the city and wait for death, and the people's hearts will be scattered. ”

Xu Shiji added: "Moreover, if we are trapped in the lonely city, the Sui army will definitely besiege us, and when the time comes, we will not know the information outside, and we will be isolated from the inside and outside, and I am afraid that something will happen!" ”

Hearing this, Guo Xiaoke sighed and asked, "It's just that if we gather our strength to stick to the camp, can we really block the attack of the Sui army?" ”

Xu Shiji's eyes flashed coldly, hooked his mouth, and said, "How do you know if you don't try?" I heard that the Sui army is doing what kind of three-way drum now, if our army does not open the door and surrender, there will be no chickens and dogs left on the day the village is broken, right? Then I, Xu Shiji, will listen to him beat the drum and make three links, if I don't surrender, the 100,000 troops will be the target of killing, what will the soldiers think? ”

Hearing this, Guo Xiaoke's eyes lit up, and he said: "Yes, if we gather people together, we will cheer up the brothers now, strictly enforce military discipline, as long as the Sui army finishes beating the three-way drum, it is equivalent to cutting off the brothers' way of life, and the brothers know that they will die, and they will resist bravely, 100,000 people are united, then this big battalion, the Sui army really don't want to break through!" ”

Zhang Liang also clapped his hands and said, "His grandmother's, why didn't I think of it!" In the front, because we divided our troops and set up a village, the Sui army concentrated its forces to encircle and attack, and the brothers in the camp could not hold it for a long time, coupled with the brutal behavior of the Sui army, which caused the brothers to be afraid and afraid of the enemy like tigers. And now, as long as we shrink our forces and let the 100,000 brothers form a group, then we don't have to be afraid of the Sui army at all, coupled with the brutality of the Sui army, the brothers know the outcome after breaking the village, so everyone must die hard, that is bound to make our army's combat effectiveness improve a big grade, even beyond the level before the battle of Yongji Canal, the Sui army wants to break through the camp, it will undoubtedly be difficult to reach the sky! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang's heart suddenly brightened, and he laughed and bowed his hand to Xu Shiji: "Thanks to the general for waking up, otherwise, Lao Guo and I would almost have taken the brothers into a dead end!" ”

Guo Xiaoke also arched his hand again and again: "Yes, yes!" Fortunately, the general arrived in time to stop our mistakes, so that we could see the hope of this battle! The central Dazhai is 100,000 troops in Ketun, and it is stuck on the main road to Liyang, the Sui army has not to pull out our nail, as long as the Sui army beats the drum three links, the soldiers will have no way to retreat, they have to fight to the death, so, we are still promising! ”

Xu Shiji nodded, and said: "Yes, we just have to do a good job of preparation now, I have sent someone to transport nearly 100,000 stones of grain and grass from Liyang Cang, enough for us to eat for more than a month, as long as we do a good job in the defense of Wanshan, appease the emotions of the soldiers, when facing the enemy, patiently listen to the Sui army's three drums, we will definitely be able to hold the camp, and as long as we and the Sui army drag on, both sides will have casualties, and the Sui army is trying to persuade our soldiers to surrender, it will be completely impossible, and the situation will once again change to favor our army!" ”

Hearing this, Guo Xiaoke's face was overjoyed, and he said, "Really, with food, we can confront the Sui army for a long time." Unexpectedly, the general was recuperating from his injuries in Liyang Cangcheng but was not idle at all, and at the critical moment, he still came out to save the scene in person! ”

Xu Shiji smiled slightly and said, "As a general, how can I abolish my official business because of my own selfishness!?" When I heard the news that the camp had surrendered at the front, I expected the development of the situation, and after making a decision in my heart, I immediately came to the front. ”

Zhang Liang also smiled: "It's good that the general is here, you are not here, everyone has no backbone, and you still can't deal with it properly, Lao Guo and Xiaogang supported the ninth camp when they were there, and they would never break Lao Qiu!" ”

Hearing this, Guo Xiaoke's eyes darkened, and he said: "Alas, Xiaogang is too rigid, if you learn from me and find that the situation is not right, you will change the clothes of the soldiers and run away, and you will never ride for the Sui army!" ”

Xu Shiji stopped and said with a smile: "You don't need to blame yourself, Xiaogang is still alive, and Yang Guang also gave him the official position of a lieutenant to help the Sui army select suitable people among the prisoners of war to train cavalry!" ”

Guo Xiaoke was shocked and said, "Huh? Xiaogang surrendered to the Sui court? It can't be, right!? ”

Zhang Liang said angrily: "He turned to the enemy so quickly, we really misjudged him!" ”

Xu Shiji signaled the two of them to be restless, and then said: "Not only Xiaogang, but even the heroes of Rencheng, Xu Shiren and Xu Shiyi, also surrendered to Yang Guang, Xu Shiren was named the hundred households of Jinyiwei, and Xu Shiyi was named the captain, but they were all forced to be helpless, temporarily succumbing to the Sui court, waiting for a favorable opportunity, as long as we can hold back the Sui army, over time, the Sui army will inevitably change, and that is also Xu Shiren and Qiu Xiaogang's best chance to set things right!" ”
