More and more enemies surrounded us, and our rear forces were simply not enough to cope with their attacks, so we had to fight and retreat, and finally retreated to the pontoon bridge and retreated.

The first attack failed, and I was helped back to the camp.

Lying in bed, I couldn't help but start thinking back to the scene of the day, and soon discovered a problem, people on the battlefield, are unconscious. The man who stood on a battlefield full of corpses and raised his sword to kill people was not me at all, he was just a killing machine, and he didn't even have the most basic thinking skills.

What is the use of such a war for me?

I didn't think my injuries were too serious, but by the time I was able to walk on the ground, it was already half a month later.

If Wei Ting had time, he would come to see me every day and tell me where the war was going. In fact, there is no talk of going any way at all, because after the Sui army landed on the east bank, the troops besieged Liaodong City, and there was almost no progress after that.

Every time Liaodong City was about to fall, the city sergeants asked to surrender, and if the lord could make his own decisions, Liaodong City would have been occupied long ago. However, Yang Guang issued an order, but all Goguryeo people asked for surrender, they must be approved by him before they were allowed to surrender.

In this way, the Goguryeo people made full use of the time difference and completed counter-attacks again and again.

The city of Liaodong was besieged with heavy troops for a month, but it was not captured.

Yang Yichen, on the other hand, was defeated in a battle against the famous Goguryeo general Eulji Wendeok, was dismissed from his post, and all his troops were handed over to Yu Zhongwen, the general of Youyiwei.

Soon after, the naval army under the command of the great general Laihu'er was defeated in Pyongyang, and Woo Wensu was also defeated in Eulji Wendeok's fraudulent surrender plan, sending 300,000 troops, and finally withdrawing less than 3,000 people.

Yang Guang saw that the battle situation was so unfavorable that he had to consider withdrawing his troops.

I looked at the banks of the Hunshui River, which were littered with corpses, and never wanted to come to this place again.

Yang Guang's pride was completely discouraged by the defeat in this war, and he bit people like a wounded lion.

As far as I know, Yu Wenshu, Yu Zhongwen and Yang Yichen were all imprisoned, and Shangshu Youcheng of the Criminal Department was killed, and countless people were implicated, of course, Wei Ting and I were no exception.

Because of my father's presence, I didn't even think about being killed in prison. Wei Ting doesn't have to worry about it, his sister married Yang Yong back then, although he died early, Yang Jun didn't miss this friendship, but Yang Guang has always liked Wei Ting's father Wei Chong, even if Wei Chong has been dead for so long, he is still often mentioned by Yang Guang.

It has been the winter of the eighth year of the Great Cause to return to the grave of the mother again, and it has been more than a year since the death of the mother. I listened to the whirring wind outside in the thatched hut, and felt that this place was exceptionally quiet and peaceful compared to Liaodong, and only here could my heart calm down, and I began to reflect on why I had killed so many people.

That evening, I was reading "Sun Wuzi" in my room, and looking at Cao Cao's commentary, I began to unconsciously compare myself with him again. On the battlefield, I am just a killing machine, I don't care how to march and arrange, how to respond to the enemy at the right time, I have no right to speak. But Cao Cao is different, he knows how to deploy troops, how to use his own strengths to attack his weakness.

The most critical issue is how to lead the troops. As a commander-in-chief, the greatest benevolence on the battlefield is not to fight, but to be sympathetic to the soldiers and avoid unnecessary casualties.

Without fighting, the soldiers who surrender to others are the greatest benevolence.

Cao Cao himself is rarely able to do this.

The millions of creatures on the banks of the river gave their lives in vain under the command of a man who could not fight at all. And Yang Guang himself will never reflect, but will only be angry with others.

I don't know why, I suddenly became extremely angry at this absurd world, Yu Zhongwen, Yu Wenshu, Yang Yichen, Yu Wenhua and ...... Even Yuwen Zhiji knows how to march and fight better than Yang Guang, but it is such a person who manipulates the life and death of most people.

I suddenly understood Yang Xuangan's plan.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and I opened the door to see that it was Ruoxiu who was coming, followed by Du Kill.

I let them into the house, but Du Shu didn't come in, and only said to Ruo Xiu: "I'll go first." With that, he turned around and left.

Ever since I came out of prison, Ruoxiu couldn't help but cry every time he saw me, and this time it was the same, holding me and not wanting to let go at all.

I waited for a while before I said, "Come here so late, how can you go back when it's late?" ”

Ruoxiu leaned against my chest and muttered, "If you don't go back, I'll be here with you." ”

I said, "Nonsense! What about Anping and Chengping? ”

Ruo Xiudao: "Sanniang will take care of it, I have already explained." ”

I helped her sit down and took her hand, met her gaze and smiled: "I'm always not at home, Anping and Chengping may not recognize this daddy, right?" ”

She squeezed me hard in her hand and said, "You know that too? ”

I smiled, sat down next to her and said, "I don't want to go to Liaodong again." ”

Ruoxiu rubbed me and said, "How can you decide these things?" The emperor issued an edict, you still have to go. ”

I shook my head and said, "If that's the case, I'll take you and hide from them." ”

If you cultivate, "Where are you hiding?" ”

I smiled and didn't say anything, just holding her hand.

She suddenly asked, "Are you hurt this time?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Who can hurt me?" ”

Ruo Xiu looked at me suspiciously, and suddenly said, "You've been injured, haven't you?" ”

I was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Ruoxiu hugged me again and said, "I'm a doctor, I can see it." ”

I didn't know that she was deceiving me with this, so I told her everything that happened in Liaodong, from the time I met Wei Ting, until Yuwenshu and Yu Zhongwen were defeated and withdrew.

She cried again as she listened. I know that this time she is not just for me, but for the people who died there in vain.

I said, "If I lead the troops, I should first take Pyongyang by water, and then let the reinforcements attack Liaodong, and then cut off the north-south with troops, so that they will have no way to resist." ”

If the monk said: "Yes...... It won't be you. ”

I said, "Not now, maybe in the future." ”

She shook her head silently and stopped talking.

After a long while, she suddenly said again: "Goguryeo has nothing to do with us, why does the emperor want to conquer them?" ”

I can't know this question too well, because Yang Guang wants to be the first emperor of the ages, and if he succeeds, it will be another great achievement of him as an emperor.

I sighed and said, "What the emperor wants to do, there is not necessarily a reason. ”
