Xin Shixiong, his complexion is very good.

It doesn't look like it's the same bad as before, and his cheeks are slightly rosy. The same abdominal wounds, but Xin Shixiong suffered arrow wounds, which were relatively minor. In addition, there are guards to take care of, although in the harsh environment of Diyu City, it has persisted until now.

"General Xin!"

Zheng Yanqing walked into the cave and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Xin Shixiong waved his hand, "Gongzi Zheng must not be polite, if it weren't for Gongzi's action, Xin might have died in Diyu City...... Speaking of which, you are a disciple of Brother Ji Sheng, and I will call you a virtuous nephew. Nephew Zheng Xian, I heard that the situation outside is not very good, is it? ”

Zheng Yanqing didn't hide it.

He started with the defeat of Pyongyang, and informed Xin Shixiong of his various deeds one by one.

"I didn't expect that the Goguryeo people would guess my intentions. So much so that there was a fiasco outside the small tuyere, and one of my brothers also died on the battlefield. General Shin, the current situation is indeed very bad. The grain and grass are exhausted, the morale of the army is unstable, and the morale is low...... The Goguryeo people gathered outside the mountain and blocked all the mountain passes of Langlin Mountain, and they could enter the mountain at any time to search and suppress. General Xin, I can't hide it, the little nephew is also quite at a loss now, and he doesn't know what to do. If you kill it, the biggest possibility is that the whole army will be wiped out; Hiding in the mountains, the final ending ......"

When Zheng Yanqing said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

He looked at Xin Shixiong, "The general can wake up, and the little nephew is also relieved, and he asked the general to teach me." ”

Xin Shixiong listened very carefully, and after Zheng Yanqing finished speaking, he also fell into deep thought.

On marching and fighting, commanding soldiers and horses, Xin Shixiong is a hundred times smarter than Zheng Yanqing. After all, in Rong Ma's life, if it weren't for Yu Zhongwen's crazy advance, so that he fell into Yizhi Wende's plan to lure the enemy, he was powerless to recover. Otherwise, the outcome of this battle may not be what it is today. To say that he is not responsible is unlikely. In fact, from the beginning of the Battle of Liaodong, up to Yang Guang and down to the soldiers, which one put Goguryeo in his eyes? It's just that relatively speaking, Xin Shixiong's heart of contempt for the enemy is weaker, and he is not as arrogant as others.

At the beginning of the Battle of Sashui, Xin Shixiong's soldiers and horses remained neat.

But the 300,000 army was defeated at the same time, and even if he had the means to reach the sky, it was difficult to win.

Xin Shixiong's defeat, in the final analysis, was defeated in the hands of his own people. If the soldiers and horses of the various provinces could have been calmer at that time, his Zuotunwei Mansion might not have collapsed. And Xin Shixiong was also shot by a stray arrow when he was scattered. What's even more unfortunate is that the stray arrow that hit him turned out to be the red stem white feather arrow commonly used by the Sui army. As soon as he was wounded, the Zuotun Guard soldiers could no longer hold on, and then the whole army was defeated.

Xin Shixiong said: "The virtuous nephew used troops before Di Yu City, which is magical.

The march is like an antelope hanging its horns, and it is impossible to fathom before it can win the victory of Pyongyang; However, after Di Yu City, it is inevitable that the craftsmanship is too heavy and the traces are too deep.

It's not the Goguryeo people who can be clever and clever, but the virtuous nephew himself who went on a business trip. However, this is also normal, there is a world of difference between leading a brigade to attack and fighting with the army of the two provinces. The virtuous nephew didn't think badly at that time, but you were longer than the odd soldier and didn't have enough experience, so that the Goguryeo people were aware of their intentions, so they had a small outlet...... Hehe, actually, it's nothing. Since ancient times, there has never been a general who has won undefeated for a long time, and now it is said that a small defeat can be avoided, and the big defeat in the future is worth it! ”

Xin Shixiong's words made Zheng Yanqing's heart more or less comfortable.

"General Xin, what should I do in the future?"

"What you did earlier, how do you still do now...... I think that when you were in Pyongyang, your situation may not be better than it is now. But don't you still fight your way out and train a fierce soldier? Then there were successive victories, and the city of Diyu was captured.

You just have to do what you used to do and keep doing it.

The Goguryeo people sealed the Yalu River passes, but the Wolf Forest Mountain was so big, it was impossible for him to seal all the passes. I suspect that the Goguryeo people must have focused their attention on the mountain pass west of the Wolf Forest Mountain at this time. And there must be a flaw in the mountain pass to the east, just kill it. ”

As the saying goes, a word wakes up the person in the dream.

Zheng Yanqing was stunned, his eyes widened and said, "Does the general mean to kill from the Gaima Plateau?" ”

Xin Shixiong kept coughing, and Feng Zhiyu hurriedly beat him on the back. He waved his hand, "On the Gaima Plateau, it seems that there are hundreds of Goguryeo people, but what they have to do now must be to strengthen the first-line defense of the Yalu River." Therefore, the Gaima Plateau is really in demand outside and at home, and it is for the virtuous nephew to gallop. I remember that from the Yalu River all the way to Sashui, there are countless military villages and farmhouses, which will not cause you much trouble. Although the morale is low, I believe that with the ability of a virtuous nephew, it will not take too long to raise the morale of the army......"

You're good at beating sticks and making attacks.

So just keep it up...... It only takes one or two victories to restore morale.

And this kind of tactic is also the means that Zheng Yanqing is best at. originally thought that Xin Shixiong would not look down on his previous tricks, but he did not expect him to support Zheng Yanqing to continue to raid. If you don't have a weapon, you can grab it; If there is no food, you can grab it; If you don't have an armor mount, you can also grab it...... The art of war is cloudy: the wise general eats the enemy. Eat the enemy for one minute, and be my twenty bells; One stone, when I have twenty stones.

Zheng Yanqing suddenly had an idea in his heart, nodded lightly and said, "General, the little nephew knows what to do!" ”

Xin Shixiong smiled with satisfaction!

If it were in normal times, he might not approve of Zheng Yanqing's approach.

But at this time, Zheng Yanqing's raiding tactics are undoubtedly the most appropriate. Since the soldier saint Sun Wu had said these words nearly a thousand years ago, why didn't he use them? To be a bandit is to be a bandit, as long as you can win, any means can be used.

"Virtuous nephew, I have something to ask for, I wonder if you can agree?"

Zheng Yanqing was stunned.

General Zuo Tunwei, that is the official position of Zheng Sanpin, is only one level lower than General Tunwei.

Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, successive dynasties have suppressed the rank of military generals. Among the military generals of the Sui Dynasty, there was no rank of first grade. The third product is already extremely high. Further up, there is the rank of General of the Twelve Guards. General Zhuguo has become a fictitious post and does not have any real power.

Xin Shixiong, a dignified general of the guard, can ask him for a military officer without any real power, what is the matter?

Xin Shixiong said: "I have been fighting horses all my life, and I have no children and no daughters under my knees.

There is only one nephew, who is now the guard of Hauni, named Xin Wenli. He is also the only remaining male in my Xin family...... If the virtuous nephew can go back alive, please tell my nephew that the white ox jade belt and a set of Tang Yi treasure armor that I have stored in the ancestral house will be inherited by him. In the study of my ancestral home, there is also a copy of the marching minutes that I have written over the years, and I gave it to him. You tell him that he is the only one left in my Xin family, and I hope that he will shine on the lintel. You still need to think twice when you encounter something, and you can't be too ruthless...... Be forgiving, and forgiving, remember, remember! ”

Zheng Yanqing was surprised.

"General, what are you...... The little nephew must do his best to escort the general back to Liaodong. ”

Xin Shixiong coughed twice, "My own affairs, my own family knows." I know very well in my heart whether my body can last to Liaodong.

Even if you go back to Liaodong, what can you do?

Goguryeo was defeated, and someone had to take responsibility. Even if I go back alive, it will not end well. If I die in Goguryeo, Xin Wenli may still be able to be knighted. If I go back, he'll be implicated. Virtuous nephew, you know all these things later. ”

Zheng Yanqing was dumbfounded.

Xin Shixiong was right. Don't look at him in good spirits at this moment, but in fact...... If he can directly pass through the Wolf Forest Mountain and return to Liaodong, then he may still be able to hold on; But in the current situation, it is obvious that I have to stay in Goguryeo for a while, there is no medicine, and there is no good doctor. Relying on only one military doctor, I am afraid it will be very difficult to survive to Liaodong.

And, he's right.

If he dies in Goguryeo, it may be better than returning to China alive!

Zheng Yanqing took a deep breath, "General, the little nephew must convey your words to General Xin Wenli." ”

Slow down, Xin Wenli?

Why does this name sound so familiar!

said that in the Tang Dynasty, there seems to be a big sword general, is it called Xin Wenli? Could it be this Xin Wenli, is it the new Wenli? Now that there is a purple-faced heavenly king and a vast sea, it seems that it is normal for the eleventh article of the Sui and Tang dynasties to appear as a good man's new courtesy. Zheng Yanqing remembered that Pei Yuanqing was killed by the new Wenli design. New Wenli, Xin Wenli...... Is it possible that it's the same person?

Zheng Yanqing was secretly pondering the relationship between the two, and he didn't want to be outside the cave, so Zheng Hongyi hurriedly came.

"Yanqing, something is wrong!"

Zheng Yanqing raised his head and asked in surprise, "Hongyi, why are you so panicked?" ”

"Liang Cheng, Liang Cheng...... He said that he had moved six brigade commanders to take people and leave here. ”

"What!"

When Zheng Yanqing heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Liang Cheng, that is, the Liang Brigade Marshal who had a dispute with him before. Zheng Yanqing knew that this person would cause trouble, but he didn't expect that he would pull the pole and rebel. Today, the Sui army has only four or five hundred people, with a total of thirteen brigade commanders. If Liang Cheng took away six brigade commanders, it would be equivalent to taking away more than half of them. That's it, the most important thing is that if he makes this kind of thing, those Sui troops who stayed behind will not have different aspirations.

Under such circumstances, it is unacceptable that he dares to act like this.

Come to think of it, this is also related to Xin Shixiong's awakening and recruiting Zheng Yanqing to speak. As the highest-ranking person in the army, Xin Shixiong is likely to support Zheng Yanqing. If Xin Shixiong speaks, it will have an incomparably huge impact on the officers and men of the Sui army. Don't look at him as a general of the defeated army, but General Zuo Tunwei's military position can still make all the soldiers of the Sui army extremely respectful, and even obedient.

So, he had to act immediately......

Zheng Yanqing stood up and strode towards the outside of the cave.

"Virtuous nephew!"

Xin Shixiong suddenly stopped Zheng Yanqing, "In extraordinary times, use extraordinary means." Since ancient times, only by combining grace and power can others be subjugated......"

Zheng Yanqing nodded, "Don't worry, the little nephew understands how to deal with it."

Mai Zizhong is a strong sea, Shen Guang, the three of you will go with me to stop Kan Ling. Xie Ke, Zheng Hongyi, Kan Leng, the three of you go to stabilize the others, especially the cavalry, and you must not let them fluctuate. If anyone dares to make trouble in the army, they should be killed on the spot, and they must not be merciful. ”

Xie Ke and the three hurriedly agreed and left in a hurry.

Zheng Yanqing took Mai Zizhong and the three of them and dared to stop Liang Cheng.

Looking at his distant back, Xin Shixiong's face showed a hint of relief: Brother Ji Sheng, you have accepted a good disciple, you should be able to smile Jiuquan.
