Wei Zheng's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "What does this mean, lord?" Are you saying that the Goguryeo people will keep rising up and rebelling in the future, so that the Sui army will take care of one thing and lose the other? ”

Wang Shichong put away his smile, faced the cold river breeze, and said slowly: "Yes, the strength and resilience of the Goguryeo people can be seen clearly in the previous battle, they have been separated from the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and it has been five or six hundred years since they formed a country, and the people's hearts have long considered themselves to be a country, not a state in the Central Plains, so even if they are conquered by force in the short term, their people will definitely not be willing to be slaves of the country, and they will definitely resist desperately." ”

"Not to mention the mainland of Goguryeo, that is, the land of Liaodong, I heard that there is no road behind the Liao River, only there is a road behind the main camp of the enemy army, which leads directly to the cities of Liaodong, and the Goguryeo people are likely to destroy this road before retreating, and the army will cross the Liao River, and the supply will only become more and more difficult. If we delay here for too long, or if we can't capture a few cities quickly, it is possible that Yang Guang will be forced to withdraw directly like Yang Liang ten years ago, which will not achieve our goal. ”

Wei Zheng's face was calm, his eyes were shining, and he could see that he was also thinking carefully about what Wang Shichong said, he nodded and said, "Lord, then according to your meaning, Yang Guang must be allowed to quickly take Liaodong City in order to continue this war?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "No, Yuan Taizuo is a treacherous and treacherous man, and he will definitely not leave his main force behind to break off, in my opinion, he must have coaxed or forced other small city lords to break off, while his own troops retreated overnight." Liaodong City is not so easy to capture. But if you can break through some Goguryeo cities in Liaodong. Obtain the military rations inside, the Sui army has the hope of victory, and will continue to fight, even if I help Yang Guang with all my might, it will be impossible to destroy Goguryeo within a year, at best, Liaodong will be captured, and then this piece of meat will enter the mouth, but it will be full of fish bones. It's not delicious, and it's even harder to digest. ”

Wei Zheng sighed: "Lord, I'm not too optimistic about your plan, just like the land of Tuyuhun, Yang Guang also set up a county, let Liu Quan and other officials to lead the local Tuyuhun people, and there has been no movement in the past two years, and it is basically self-sufficient." ”

Wang Shichong smiled and waved his hand: "The situation in Tuyuhun is different from here, first, there are few people in Tuyuhun, only more than 100,000 tents. Hundreds of thousands of people, scattered into dozens of tribes. Unable to form a resultant force. Second, Tuyuhun has been ruled by the upper-class Xianbei clan of the Murong clan for many years, and those Qiang people, who account for the vast majority, do not mind changing to Han people to rule. The third is that the Great Khan of Fulian, with my secret help, regained the remote control and manipulation of the various departments of Tuyuhun, although he was in the Snow Mountain Party Xiang Qiang, he could actually influence and control the various departments, so he was at peace with Liu Quan, did not take the initiative to provoke a rebellion, and even helped Liu Quan to suppress those disobedient tribes. So it's fairly stable there. ”

"But the situation here in Liaodong is completely different, first of all, that Yuan Taizuo killed Mai Tiecane and completely annihilated the vanguard of the Sui army, this feud is deep, it is unlikely to surrender, and it is unlikely to escape like the Great Khan of Fulian."

"Second, the cities in eastern Liaodong should be fortified and clear, Tuyuhun fought, although a lot of people were killed, but there was basically no loss of cattle and sheep. But cities like Goguryeo were fought one by one, and no matter whether they were captured or not, food became a big problem, and the losses of the siege were large, and the Sui army counted them by beheading, killing the good and risking the merits, and slaughtering the people, which was almost a certain thing."

So in the end, the entire Goguryeo Liaodong people wanted to rise up to rebel and take revenge, and then the Sui army was going to suppress it in waves, and the more people killed, the more the feud became bigger. In less than twenty or thirty years, don't even think about pacification, if the Sui army is stationed here for a long time with one or two hundred thousand people, and the supply of military food depends on the rear, the effect is not much stronger than returning directly in Liaodong without success? ”

Wei Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Listening to the lord's words, I will be relieved, so the lord wants to help Yang Guang and conquer Liaodong City all the way?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "There is this plan, but it is estimated that it is difficult, this time the generals of the Sui army, are not in line with the people, you see this crossing of the Liao River, they all think that the friendly army suffers losses, the dead, and they can sit and reap the profits, alas, after the death of Gao Ying and Yang Su, there is a lack of a calm marshal in the army, although Yuwen Shu has a general strategy, but he is narrow-minded, jealous and jealous, not enough to convince the public, I have an ominous premonition, in the end, this expedition to Liao, it will be bad in Yang Guang's blind command and the generals' merit and blame, and contain each other. ”

Wei Zheng nodded, and said: "Yes, I have heard the lord say it during the day, that Yuwenshu has sinister intentions, and wants to use what the lord said to force you to make a military order, his attitude is already obvious, if the lord continues to be in charge of the army in the future, it is inevitable that he will continue to be framed by him, you must know that after crossing the river, the army will be controlled by him, and the attack will advance, and Yang Guang will stay on the west bank of the Liao River, and will come to inspect the results of the battle when the front is safe. It's better to find an excuse to return the military power after this battle, as long as you don't fight with Yuwenshu, he shouldn't hurt you because of jealousy. ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed coldly: "Xuancheng, people have already taken the initiative to harm me, do I have to suffer this dumb loss?" If he tolerates Yu Wenshu's provocation, he will only gain more inches in the future. Of course, it is better for the army of the Great Sui to let Yuwenshu be mastered by this villain than to be mastered by Yu Zhongwen and Xue Shixiong, so I will find a way to teach Yuwenshu a lesson this time, but I will never take the initiative to give in. ”

Wei Zhengqi said: "Does the lord have a way to counter Yuwenshu? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Yu Zhongwen's second batch of reinforcements of 100,000 people, tomorrow at noon, will arrive on the west bank, I can't cure Yu Wenshu, but Yu Zhongwen can, this time he robbed Yu Wenshu of the handsome seal of the former army general, it is a belly of fire, Yang Guangxing is suspicious, and he will not rest assured that Yu Wenshu is alone in charge of the front-line army. I can just take advantage of this opportunity to let Yu Zhongwen repair Yuwen Shu is good. ”

There were a few horse roars in the distance, Wang Shichong stopped the conversation, and looked at the Goguryeo soldiers' heads on the ground two miles away, but the shields, crossbow arrows and long lances were all in the hands of the five hundred fine armor, and smiled slightly: "This Fei Qingnu is quite good at acting, I underestimated him, Xuancheng, you and I will take a good look here, how he annihilated the cavalry of the Goguryeo army."
