Chapter 1118: Zhou Fashang is in charge

Nanjinpu, beach, Sui army camp.

In the Chinese military tent, Zhou Fashang sat on the handsome seat of the guard, since today after the return of the serious injury, temporarily unable to command, during the recuperation period, the tiger Fu handsome seal was handed over to Zhou Fashang as the deputy marshal, when Wang Shichong returned to the camp with Shan Xiongxin and Wei Zheng, who had completed the task of doubtful soldiers, it was just in time for Zhou Fashang's first promotion to the general.

Zhou Fashang's face was gloomy, and in the whole tent, whether it was a few elderly marching managers, or a few sons who came to protect their children, and even including Xu Gai's father and son, all of them had a serious face, everyone had experienced the ups and downs of life in the past few days, great joys and sorrows, first after going ashore, the battle was unfavorable, and was completely suppressed by Gao Jian, and then relied on Wang Shichong's advice, successfully killed Gao Jian, and defeated the Goguryeo army in one fell swoop, all the way to Pyongyang.

But at a time when this victory seemed to be within reach, it was ambushed by the Goguryeo people, and 50,000 of the most elite troops were lost in the city of Pyongyang.

Zhou Fashang looked at Wang Shichong, who was standing at the head of the left and thoughtful, and said, "General Wang, today thanks to you for breaking the queen and scaring off the 100,000 troops of Goguryeo, our army was able to breathe, what is the situation in the back now?" ”

Wang Shichong cleared his throat and said: "The general relied on the strategy of the suspicious soldiers and dragged the Goguryeo army in the grove for half a day, it was getting late, and the Goguryeo army was also afraid that our army would attack at night. So he retreated three miles. And they encamped on the plains outside the city. At the same time, I sent a small force of cavalry to reconnoiter the situation around the beach of our army, and based on this, I withdrew from the woods at night, set many traps on the road, and intercepted and killed two groups of Goguryeo scouts who wanted to explore the way, estimated within a few days. Their army did not dare to march rashly. ”

Zhou Fashang nodded: "General Wang's response is really clever, and he should be credited." How is the former Gaojian camp on the opposite side handled now? ”

Wang Shichong replied: "After breaking through the camp three days ago, our army's logistics baggage troops were sorted out inside for two days, and the baggage supplies that the Goguryeo army did not have time to take away were moved into our army's camp, and it was originally planned to move the camp to outside Pyongyang, so a lot of camping equipment in that camp has been dismantled, but today our army was defeated, and I didn't have time to withdraw those baggage and camping supplies in a hurry, so I piled them up and burned them on both sides of the road from Pyongyang to the sea, so as to block the pursuing soldiers. Second, they did not supply the enemy with the materials for these camps, and now they were nothing more than an empty camp. If the enemy army comes, they will have to re-encamp. ”

Zhou Fashang smiled slightly: "Very good." General Wang, what do you think will happen to the Goguryeo army this time? ”

Wang Shichong pondered for a moment and said: "Our army has set up camp, with its back to the sea, and it can also be evacuated when the battle situation is unfavorable, the Goguryeo army lacks a port and has no warship troops, so it is impossible to prevent our fleet from withdrawing, plus our army is dozens of miles away from the company camp, even if the attack on Pyongyang fails, the defense is also invulnerable, Eulji Wende is a long-term general, at this time, he will not use all the strength in his hands to attack the strongly-fortified camp of our army." ”

Zhou Fashang said softly: "Yizhi Wende? Is that the Goguryeo envoy who sent me to the Great Sui last time? I heard that he is also the minister of Goguryeo. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "It is this person, when this person came to my Great Sui last time, in addition to being an envoy, he also wanted to investigate the reality of my Great Sui, especially the war readiness, this time it is precisely because he knows my Great Sui army well, so he was appointed by the king of Goguryeo as the generalissimo of the national soldiers and horses, commanding all walks of life including the Goguryeo Imperial Forest Army. ”

Zhou Fashang sighed: "No wonder the Goguryeo people know the weakness of our army, scatter a large amount of gold and silver treasures outside the palace, lure the soldiers of our army to rob, and then take advantage of our army's unpreparedness to send a large number of archers to kill and injure our army with a rain of arrows, and ambush the troops in all directions. ”

A hint of coldness flashed in Wang Shichong's eyes: "When he retreated this time, Ben Jiang still met in front of the Yizhi Wende Formation, because the last time he came to my Dasui, he had a relationship with Ben General, and he was more or less a little friendly, so he wanted to get the truth of our army from my mouth." ”

Zhou Fashang smiled slightly: "With General Wang's wisdom, he will definitely not leave him any handle, what did you talk to him about?" ”

Wang Shichong's eyes sparkled: "This Yizhi Wende is also a big talk and threat, saying that the marshal and 50,000 elites have been wiped out by him, and the rest of our troops are also under control, as long as he is willing, he can eat us in a few days, so if you want me to know each other, give us a few days to let our army retreat." ”

Zhou Fashang's expression remained unchanged, but the generals in the tent shouted one by one, all of them said that our army suffered such a great defeat, which was a great shame and humiliation for the Great Sui, and he could not retreat, and he must fight with the Goguryeo people here to the end.

Wang Shichong's expression was calm, these words sounded to him like the wind in his ears, important matters of military aircraft, can never be decided by the courage of blood and blood, and after the shouting voice gradually subsided, only to hear Zhou Fashang said in a deep voice: "General Wang, you are resourceful, you can judge everything calmly, in your opinion, what is the intention of Yizhi Wende to say this?" ”

The corners of Wang Shichong's mouth hooked, and he said: "Now I am the general of the Great Sui, and Eulzhi Wende, the marshal of Goguryeo, there is a mortal enmity between me and him, especially when I know that he killed 50,000 soldiers of mine today, if there is a chance, I can't wait to take the head of others directly during the negotiation, if it is not for the strength of the enemy and my weakness, I am afraid of the big thing, I really have the heart to let Xiongxin start." ”

Zhou Fashang smiled slightly: "General Wang can hold back and not do it, I'm afraid he also wants to use him in turn to buy us time for reorganization." ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "There are also a few warriors around Ezhi Wende, and I am afraid that most of them will not be able to hold him if I really make a move, otherwise I really have the intention of kidnapping him and forcing the Goguryeo people to retreat." As for Eulzhi Wende, I also want to know if I am intimidating him, or if I really have measures to deal with it, so that conversation is just a mutual investigation, but I can still find out the bottom line of Eulchi Wende from it. ”

Zhou Fashang's eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly: "What do you see?" (To be continued......)
