A month later, at the ferry port of Tongding Town on the edge of Liaoshui in Liaodong, 300,000 troops camped for 100 miles, the sky was full of flags, people shouted and horses neighed, and the noise and waves could be felt 50 miles away. The vast Liaoshui seems to have been shocked by this huge army, the speed of the rush is much slower than in August of previous years, hundreds of pontoon bridges have been erected on the water, just wait for the commander of the west of Liaoshui to give an order, 300,000 troops will kill Liaoshui, with an unstoppable momentum to flood Goguryeo's Liaodong land.

In this hundred miles of company camp, a large camp set up at the edge of Tongding Town is particularly magnificent, not only a radius of three miles, larger than the ordinary barracks, but also riding a tall horse, armored and masked dragoon guards patrol around the camp, the camp is dotted around the watchtowers, the shoulders are obviously much wider than the ordinary soldiers, the archers are vigilantly looking into the distance, and in the middle of the camp on a big tent, a flagpole seven or eight feet high, four or five feet square flag flutters in the wind, the flag has a big "handsome" word written on it.

This camp is the camp of the Han King Yang Liang, and it is also the camp of the Liaodong Army of Goguryeo this time, and the camp is different from the hot situation outside the camp tent, but there are only five or six senior generals and staff in the camp tent, and these people are divided into two groups, red faces and red ears, arguing with gossip, the camp tent does not seem to be a place for deliberations, but like a vegetable market.

Standing on the left hand side of the ranks of the strategists is a forty-year-old civil official, gray hair, wrinkles on his face, eyes like electricity, medium build, wearing a green shirt, calm expression, is the current Han King Yang Liang's chief adviser, the Han Wang's palace counselor Wang Jun.

And standing in the king? around. It is a bearded eyebrows like snow. Buildable. The red-faced veteran who is draped all over his body, the wind and frost of the years have left a knife mark on his face, his eyes are looking at the sky, and his eyebrows are full of an unruly color, it is the legendary first fierce general of the Southern Dynasty, Xiao Maha, who is already sixty and six this year.

Standing opposite these two are two heavyweights in the group of military generals of Guan Long in the Sui Dynasty. They are all fully armed, one is Wang Shiji, who is tall and burly, with a black face and long hair, and the other is Yu Zhongwen, a general who is tall and thin and looks like a Confucian general.

The two sides were clearly divided into two groups, both glaring angrily at each other, Wang Hao stood up in the ranks, and said to Yang Liang, who was twenty-six or seventeen years old and dressed in yellow: "King, don't hesitate any longer." Now that our army's food supply has been cut off, it seems that Gao Servant Shooting does not want us to make meritorious contributions. At present, the whole army's food stock is only enough to feed for two months, and if it forcibly crosses the Liaoshui River and marches, I am afraid that it will encounter the main force of Goguryeo in Liaodong and will not be able to win a quick victory. ”

Xiao Maha also echoed: "Yes, King Han, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, but this time we have the soldiers and horses have moved, the grain and grass have not worked, this battle can not be fought at all, after crossing the Liaoshui, it has entered the border of Goguryeo, these days have confirmed that the 150,000 troops of Goguryeo have crossed the Yalu River, and now they should enter the front line of Anshi City, if our army continues to march, it will meet the enemy in about ten days, and then it will be difficult to retreat in front of the enemy!"

Wang Shiji snorted heavily: "King, at this time, it depends on our determination, how difficult it is for the imperial court to organize this 300,000 army, we set off from Zhuo County, thousands of miles away, and we have arrived at the edge of Liaoshui, but because of a little difficulty in logistics and grain, we want to retreat, so is it worthy of the emperor's trust in us?" ”

Yu Zhongwen also shook his head bitterly: "Yes, the king, this time the emperor gave you the power of the army, which is your trust and support, if you want to destroy the battle of Nanchen, I have been planning for several years in the Great Sui, and only 500,000 people will be dispatched after the last time, this time we will conquer Goguryeo, we will make up more than 300,000 troops in half a year, and 60,000 sailors in Laizhou will cross the sea as early as two months ago, counting the time, maybe they have already attacked the city of Pyongyang, in this case, if we withdraw the army, don't say sorry to the emperor, Even the 60,000 soldiers who went to the sea, we have no shame to face it!"

Xiao Maha said sharply: "General Yu, if the troops who crossed the sea have successfully landed now, how can Goguryeo still be able to come to the aid of the country with an army of 150,000 and compete with me for Liaodong?" It must be that they failed to land, and now our army has to face the main force of the whole country in Goguryeo, 150,000 enemy troops plus 450,000 defenders in Liaodong, waiting for work, the strength is no longer under our army, and the enemy army is fighting at home, so we can choose the way of fighting with strong walls and clear fields, and then fight a decisive battle with elite soldiers after the veterans of our army's division, and at that time, it is impossible for us to retreat!"

Wang Shiji sneered: "I've heard that the general of the defeated army can't be brave, General Xiao, did you lose all your sharpness in the Battle of Pingchen?" If you don't dare to fight, please take 20,000 people to help us guard the grain road in the back, and take a good look at me and wait for the Great Sui Tiger Ben to march forward!"

Xiao Maha is not very good at words, but this time he exposed the old bottom, his face was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, his hand suddenly pressed on the sword, and shouted: "You say it again?!"

Yang Liang slapped the big case in front of him suddenly, and bounced up with a "rub": "Do you still have the boss Lone in your eyes, is Lone an ornament?" ”

This roar played a role, and the four of them cleared up a little, and each saluted and retreated, while Xiao Maha and Wang Shiji turned their heads hatefully and didn't look at each other.

Wang Fei slowed down, and said again: "King, it is not for us to retreat from the enemy, but now the fighter plane has been lost, last month it rained heavily in Liaoxi for a whole month, our army could not move an inch, it took a month from Yingzhou to Liaoshui, less than 500 miles away, and Zhuo County is from here, two thousand miles away, two months, logistics supplies have not been delivered, now the enemy has completely mastered the movement of our army, the army quickly came to help, our army quickly captured Liaodong City or Anshi City, according to the city to counterattack the enemy's reinforcements plan has been bankrupt, the king, when the judgment continues, it will be chaotic, and now withdraw the army, but also to ensure an undefeated situation. ”

Yu Zhongwen said sharply: "Wang joins the army, we have been ordered to go on this expedition, even if we can't break the country and capture the king, and eliminate Goguryeo in one fell swoop, at least we must seize the land of Liaodong in Goguryeo, and now we have reached Liaoshui, but you said that you want to withdraw the army, what is going on?" How do we reply to the emperor afterwards? Let's just say that the military rations are not enough? Let's just say that the enemy army is coming to help? Withdraw without fighting, my Great Sui Iron Army is indomitable, and I have never been so cowardly!"

Wang Fei shook his head: "General Yu, the Great Sui Iron Army is not unconditioned to come hard, just like the third year of the emperor, the Great Sui was originally preparing to conquer Chen in the south, but the northern Turkic invasion, didn't it have to give up the plan and recall all the troops that had reached the Yangtze River to resist the attack of the Turks?" We are all generals, and we can't just rely on our own temperament.

Besides, all we heard along the way were military reports that the Turkic army was gathering and its movements were unknown, in case our army and the Goguryeo army were holding each other, and the Turks took the opportunity to sneak attack the rear of our army, what should we do then? There were Goguryeo tigers in front and Turkic wolves in the back, and at that time, our army was losing ground, and I was afraid that we would die and have no place to bury!"

Wang Shiji said coldly: "Wang joins the army, you have too much to worry about, Gao Servant is still continuing to gather reinforcements and grain and grass in Zhuo County, our army and the elite of the border fortress have not moved, Yingzhou and the Turks are separated by a big desert, the enemy army is not so easy to attack, Wei Shichong, the general who defended Yingzhou, has a deep understanding of the art of war, and General Li Jing also brought 30,000 elite soldiers to stay, our army's back road is safe, it really can't work, and the reinforcements of Gao Servant Shot will also hold the back road." ”

Yu Zhongwen Ha Lu smiled: "What Wang Zhuguo said is very true, don't forget that Wang joined the army, Gao Servant Shot is a famous general in the world, and he has never lost in this life, and now Gao Servant Shot does not have any order to retreat our army, how can we retreat?"

If Wang Senjun is worried about the shortage of grain and grass, then I am willing to lead 50,000 elite soldiers as the front, bring three months' military rations, and cross the Liaoshui first, not that I am too old to boast of Haikou, with only 50,000 elites, enough to crush the 150,000 army of Goguryeo and take Liaodong City, then Wang Senjun will wait for the grain and grass and reinforcements to arrive, and then come to meet me.
