Shan Xiongxin smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Xu Xian, human nature is like this, it is not bound by temporary military discipline, those seventeen prohibitions in the army, fifty-two beheadings, look scary, and they are effective in peacetime, but if it is really implemented according to this, then as long as the battle is lost, the whole army will be killed, so how can it be?" Now this is the case, everyone sees the money, even at this time, the Goguryeo army will come back, and they will not give up grabbing money, how can you kill a few people here to stop it? ”
Xu Shiji said hatefully: "Then do you just let the sergeants rob money like this and ignore it?" As a general, sitting back and watching his subordinates violate military orders like this is in itself a dereliction of duty! Brother Shan, as a partial general, don't you control it? ”
Shan Xiongxin sighed: "Brother Xu Xian, you are still too young, although you and I have the name of a partial general and a military academy, but my subordinates do not have the actual right to control the army, may I ask where is your tiger talisman or arrow, and how many soldiers can you control?" ”
Xu Shiji was slightly stunned, he hadn't thought about this, the corners of his mouth hooked: "I, I brought a team of cavalry out today, all of them are my Xu family's family members, Daddy asked me to guide the cavalry forward, these cavalry, I can command." ”
Shan Xiongxin smiled and shook his head: "The guide is not a command, or your father, but he has temporarily granted the right to command the marshal, these cavalry are all subordinates of the marshal, let alone you." It's your daddy. Nor does he have the right to kill them directly on the battlefield. They can only record their mistakes and hand them over to the military judge afterwards. Just now, your father only verbally ordered the two of us to guide these cavalrymen out of the village to pursue the enemy, and did not give you the right to command and dispose of them. Brother Xian, I advise you not to challenge the authority of the marshal, if you really want to kill a soldier, the marshal may trouble your father and son when the time comes. ”
Speaking of this, Shan Xiongxin glanced around and stepped forward. He lowered his voice and said: "The relationship between you and my lord is absolutely not to let the generals of the Sui Dynasty know about them, otherwise he will really investigate it thoroughly, and we will all die without a place to be buried." Wang Bo and Ge Qian made too much trouble in Shandong, this time the troops brought by the lord were Zhang Xutuo's soldiers, and many people knew them, so today the lord only asked me to bring a team of guards to follow, just in case, if your father and son are too public, they will give it to themselves. It also brought death to my father-in-law! ”
Xu Shiji was so shocked that a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he almost fell off the horse. Reluctantly settled down, and bowed his hand to Shan Xiongxin: "Thank you for the guidance of the eldest brother, the younger brother was tempted and almost missed a big event!" ”
Shan Xiongxin smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, you are a smart person, at least smarter than my foolish brother, but you lack some experience, okay, the matter has come to this point, and it is beyond human power to recover, let's go to your father to return to your life." ”
Xu Shiji hatefully glanced at the Goguryeo soldiers in front of him, who had fled farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared from sight, and shook his head: "Cheap these Goguryeo people!" He flicked the horse's head, turned to the rear, and soon ran out of more than ten zhang away, Shan Xiongxin looked at Xu Shiji's distant figure, his face gradually became gloomy, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an imperceptible smile, and said: "Tian Erzhu, quickly go back to what happened here to the lord." ”
The beach at night, the cool breeze, the victorious Sui army, gathered in two camps, eating and drinking, compared with yesterday's celebration banquet, today's victory is greater, not only beheaded Gao Jian, but also captured more than 50,000 Goguryeo officers and soldiers, although more than 40,000 people escaped, but in the face of such a big victory, it looks nothing, in the camp of the Gaoming Yeo army, not only found a lot of money, but also seized tens of thousands of jars of wine, Laihu'er ordered the whole army to drink a lot, tomorrow afternoon to take advantage of the victory, directly take Pyongyang, Therefore, in addition to the thousands of soldiers on duty and guarding the prisoners, almost all the sergeants of the Sui army joined in this carnival, and the noise shook the sky, and it could be heard clearly even dozens of miles away.
However, on a watchtower in the original camp of the Goguryeo army, Wang Shichong looked at the direction of Pyongyang City in the east with a heavy heart, Wei Zheng had a lupine scarf, a wide robe and big sleeves, and a Confucian scholar and a military advisor, standing behind Wang Shichong without saying a word.
Wang Shichong let out a long sigh and muttered, "Xuan Cheng, it seems that you are not worried at all, do you really think that you have won a big victory today, like those unscrupulous sergeants?" ”
Wei Zheng smiled indifferently: "The head of Marshal Gao Jian, the first warrior of Goguryeo, the most capable Marshal Gao Jian, together with the heads of his 50,000 subordinates, are piled up into a mountain in front of the camp at this time, and thousands of prisoners are digging pits and burying their bodies until now, isn't it worth celebrating such a big victory?" ”
Wang Shichong shook his head: "Xuancheng, don't say such things to me, you know that you didn't compete for all the success today, did not completely wipe out the Goguryeo army, and let more than 40,000 people run away, these people will bring huge trouble to our army in the offensive and defensive battles of Pyongyang City in the future." ”
Wei Zheng smiled and sighed: "Lord, as a subordinate, although I can understand your thoughts, but even now, I still have reservations, you have wasted too much time and energy in this Goguryeo expedition, and even I think you are a little confused, especially Xu Gai is still here, this is something we didn't expect before we came, you gave him such a large sum of money and asked him to go back and mess up Shandong, but shouldn't you also withdraw from here as soon as possible and return to the Central Plains?" ”
Wei Zheng raised his hand and pointed to the distance to the east, in the thick night, the shadow of the tall and majestic city of Pyongyang City seemed to loom, Wei Zheng said sharply: "That Pyongyang City is here to protect the children, Zhou Fashang and they all dream of attacking, because their ambition is to obtain glory and wealth in the court and system of the Great Sui, but do you think so?" Your ambition should be the whole world, not content with competing with these people for that little merit! ”
The corners of Wang Shichong's mouth hooked: "Xuancheng, do you think I really want to fight for this feat?" ”
Wei Zheng's eyes sparkled: "If it weren't for this reason, it would be difficult for me to understand why the lord would have taken such great pains to conquer the capital of Goguryeo." If you say that you are working hard for Yang Guang in Liaodong with all your might, it is still because you want the Great Sui to eat Liaodong, and you are unwilling to spit it out, so you have spent your elite soldiers and strong generals in Liaodong for many years to quell the rebellion and suppress it, so as to reduce the pressure on us to start trouble in the country, but here, for what? Are you really going to destroy Goguryeo? Fight for the right to lead the troops in the future? Lord, with all due respect, there is no need! (To be continued......)
