PS: Thank you for the encouragement of book friend Tu Chengwei.

Wang Shichong laughed: "In this way, our Sui army should be grateful for the grace of your Goguryeo army?" You killed 7,000 of my soldiers, but now you are pretending to return the corpse of the main general, do you want our army to thank you Goguryeo people for your benevolence, or do you want to break the fighting spirit of our army? ”

Yang Wanchun shook his head: "General Wang, please hear clearly, it's not a return, it's a redemption." ”

Wang Shichong's brows furrowed: "What does this mean?" Do you still want to borrow this corpse and ask for another sum of money? The general thought that you were still respectful of the enemy, but now it seems that you are just some bandits and thieves who use corpses to blackmail. ”

Yang Wanchun's brows furrowed, and he said loudly: "General Wang, leave some morality, don't speak so ugly, our army is fighting today, and the casualties are not small, just to kill the Mai Tiecane, dozens of warriors have died in battle, if you want our army to hold back the anger and not take off the heads of Mai Tiecane and others, General Yuan has really done a lot of work, and even issued a general order to stop it, not to mention anything else, you will pay some pensions for the soldiers who died in our army, this request is not too much." ”

Wang Shichong sneered: "No matter how flattering your words are, they can't change your despicable behavior. Well, our Emperor of the Great Sui Emperor this time is also to conquer you barbarians with a heart of benevolence and righteousness, since you can save the body of General Mai, I think our Emperor Your Majesty will consider this proposal. Say, when is the time to redeem General Mai's body, and how much do we have to pay? ”

Yang Wanchun smiled slightly: "Our army needs to take stock of the battlefield and clean up General Mai's body well." It's time to hand over the corpse. It was tentatively scheduled for noon in three days' time. You can send twenty sergeants across the river to meet the corpse of the Iron Staff, and our asking price is ten boxes of gold bricks. ”

Wang Shichong's face sank, and he said coldly: "Envoy Yang, the price you offer is too outrageous, three corpses, you will need ten boxes of gold bricks, is it true that our Great Sui is full of gold?" ”

Yang Wanchun laughed: "Aren't you Great Sui the Heavenly Empire, I heard that you received envoys from various countries in the Western Regions. Precious carpets can be spread all over the streets and alleys of the city from the gate of the eastern capital, and the treetops and branches of the whole city are also hung with silk and satin. ”

Wang Shichong gritted his teeth, and secretly scolded this Yang Guang in his heart, he really deserved to be damned, he used to show off his wealth so much. Now that he has a handle, he is helpless. But he thought that this money was not the main reason at all, with the wealth and military salary that Yang Guang brought with him, ten boxes of gold bricks, it was really just a drop in the bucket, in order to save the morale of the army, he would definitely agree to this condition, and the intention of the Goguryeo people was an obvious delaying tactic, if they really wanted to return the corpse, they could trade it tomorrow, why wait until three days later, this is clearly to delay time.

Thinking about this clearly, Wang Shichong laughed: "Envoy Yang, you are right, the wealth of our Great Sui is indeed as you said, ten boxes of gold bricks may be a great wealth for you Goguryeo, and for my Great Sui, it is just a drop in the bucket, but I will think that this exchange of corpses can be carried out in a day or two, why should it be delayed until noon three days later?" ”

Yang Wanchun shook his head expressionlessly: "These are the conditions of our army General Yuan, this envoy has nothing to say, if your army agrees, it will be carried out according to this condition, if there is any objection, you can also send someone to our camp to continue to negotiate the time and details of the transaction." ”

The corners of Wang Shichong's mouth hooked: "In other words, you, the envoy, have no right to change the terms and details of the transaction, and only the Yuan General of your family can make this decision, right?" ”

Yang Wanchun nodded: "General Wang can understand it this way, the envoy came here today, and he is only responsible for passing the word, and cannot change the conditions of any transaction." General Wang, can you make a decision now, or do you want to ask your superiors, or even your emperor? ”

Wang Shichong said coldly: "Envoy Yang, you can go back, just say that your request, we already know, whether we accept it or not, and will send someone to your military camp to inform you." ”

Yang Wanchun nodded and said, "Since that's the case, the envoy will leave." As he spoke, he gave a military salute, turned around neatly, and walked out of the tent.

Feng Xiaoci, an old friend who came to stand for Wang Shichong today, the general of Youyiwei, couldn't help but say: "General Wang, this guy is really arrogant, just let him go, I'm afraid that the Goguryeo army won't take my Great Sui in his eyes!" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Goguryeo today completely wiped out our army's vanguard troops across the river, the morale is already high, today our army is strictly organized, scared that the two entourages dare not enter, and they are not inferior in momentum, and this Yang Wanchun has no negotiating authority, forcing him to stay here is useless, this matter still needs to be discussed with the Supreme, and then make a decision, the generals have worked hard, let's go back to the camp for the time being." ”

Feng Xiaoci and the others had no choice but to arch their hands and bow and retreat. There were no idle people inside and outside the tent, and Wang Shichong's personal guards guarded the door. The corners of Wang Shichong's mouth hooked, and he turned his head to Wei Zheng, who had been standing beside him and pretended to be a guard, and said, "Xuancheng, what do you think?" ”

Wei Zheng said calmly: "My lord, this must be a delaying tactic by the Goguryeo people, if my expectations are correct, they should want to take the opportunity to withdraw their troops." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Then how should we deal with it?" ”

Wei Zheng sighed softly: "If you stand in the perspective of the Sui army, you have to take the opportunity to attack in an all-out way, or even build a bridge overnight to raid, since the Goguryeo army has withdrawn, the people's hearts will be scattered, at this time, our army will wave the army and attack quickly, it will be a big victory, and even, it can even destroy the main force of Goguryeo's Liaodong in one fell swoop." ”

When Wei Zheng said this, he hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "It's just that doing this is not in line with the lord's plan, if the Liaodong troops of the Goguryeo army are wiped out like this, then Yang Guang's expedition to Goguryeo may be unexpectedly easy to win, so that the chaotic times we hope for in the world may never appear." ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Then you mean that with the Goguryeo people's actions, they can successfully withdraw their troops, right?" ”

Wei Zheng Zhengse said: "Yes, lord, this time the Goguryeo people have also seen the power of the Sui army's ironclad steel army, and the reason why they want to withdraw the army with a delaying tactic is also because they know that if they continue to fight like this, there is no chance of winning, and the Liao River is just a river away, and they can't stop the millions of Sui troops at all, so they decided to retreat to the cities, defend strongly, exchange space for time, and strive for the fatigue of the veterans of the Sui army, and the lack of food and grass, and finally they can only be forced to withdraw the army."
