Chapter 963: The Messenger of Surrender
Wang Shichong took two steps forward, took the arrow, turned around and walked back to his position, these few steps, he was thinking about what Yang Guang was thinking, handing over the soldiers and horses of the imperial camp to his command, was he really so at ease with himself?
Walking back to his position just now, Xin Shixiong smiled "hehe": "General Wang, please entrust you with the safety of the Supreme." ”
Wang Shichong hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Thanks to the generals fighting in the front, it is best to conquer Pyongyang directly, so that the Supreme does not have to go deep into the enemy's territory and take any risks." ”
While the two were talking, Yang Guang picked up the last arrow: "Commander of the Xiaoguo Army, where is Duan Da, the general of the Tiger Benlang?" ”
Wang Shichong's heart moved, just now he saw Duan Da standing in the middle of the queue opposite, and he squeezed his eyebrows and made a look, this old friend who has been friends with him for 20 years, does not have much military talent, but he has made a lot of money by partnering with himself in business over the years, after Yang Xuangan was left out in the cold, he took the road of Yuwenshu to get the position of the commander of the Xiaoguo Army, and his contacts with Wang Shichong have gradually decreased in recent years.
Duan Da took two steps forward with his head held high, saluted, and said, "The last general, Duan Da, listen to the commander's military order!" ”
Yang Guang glanced at Wang Shichong, handed the arrow to Duan Da, and said, "General Duan, your Xiaoguo Army is in charge of guarding the inner ring of the imperial camp, and together with General Wang, who is in charge of the outer guard, you have to protect the adults of the three provinces and six departments, understand?" ”
Duan Da nodded, answered yes, stepped forward and retreated.
Seeing that all the arrows have been fired. Yang Guang stood up. He said in a deep voice: "This expedition to Goguryeo. Everything depends on the princes, and now the rear army and supplies, as well as the troops in the south of the Yangtze River, have not fully arrived, and the generals of the former army set off first, under the control of General Yu Wenshu and General Yu Zhongwen, and the supply of military rations was obtained from Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang in Huaiyuan Town. ”
The commander reiterated that he would send troops from now on, and he would attack the territory of Goguryeo within three months. Within six months, Liaodong City will be taken, and the armies will meet under Liaodong City, waiting for the arrival of the army of the imperial camp of the commander. The front-line combat strategy needs to be decided after consulting the commander-in-chief, and it is not allowed to make arbitrary claims. ”
"In addition, each marching governor must set up a member to accept the surrender envoy, if the city lords of Goguryeo are willing to open the city and surrender, they must accept it, remember, this time our Great Sui is a way to fight without a way. Benevolence and righteousness come first, and we must not lose the prestige and demeanor of the Celestial Empire. In this way, we can subdue the four empires and make the Goguryeo people look forward to the wind! ”
Wang Shichong followed all the generals in unison, but he sneered in his heart, he thought that Yang Guang might have read some military books recently, and Yuwenshu taught him some tactics of war.
On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, and the generals on the front line must respond to the situation on the spot and make random dispositions, and it is impossible to consult Yang Guang thousands of miles away in the rear for everything. Yang Guang gave this order, obviously under the influence of Xiao Yu, afraid that some ill-intentioned generals on the front line would take the opportunity to lead the troops to rebel, so he sent a supervising army in the name of the surrendered envoy, and asked the front-line generals to report the marching battle plan and ask for their next move, to put it bluntly, he was still not at ease with these generals and the army, but he didn't think that the price paid in this way could be the defeat of the whole war, because the Goguryeo army would not ask you for instructions on everything!
As for the surrendered messenger, I don't know what to say, Yang Guang probably thought that the Goguryeo people were the same as Tuyuhun, they would look at the wind and surrender, the nomads of the grassland were unprincipled, they were afraid of the strong and bullied the weak, when they were strong, they were hard, and when they were weak, it was the national nature in their bones, so the Tuyuhun people could not be defeated militarily, and they would definitely surrender, even if the Fulian Khan himself did not surrender, the tribes below would also surrender, and they would never resist to the end, anyway, the Sui army could not exist for a long time on the grassland, and when the army retreated, it could be independent again, This set has been played very skillfully from the Turks to the Tuyuhun people.
But the Goguryeo people are different, they are a typical farming people, and the various cities here in Liaodong were built by many generals who fought down inch by inch and built the cities, so it can be said that these cities are the private property of these generals or military nobles.
The tribe can pack up and run away, but the city and the peasants have no way to load the car and escape, only to fight to the death, lose the city, lose all the foundation, only retain a life, this is almost all the Goguryeo city lords are unwilling, so the surrendered envoy, and there is no negotiation to retain the authority of the city lord's rule, these Goguryeo cities in Liaodong will definitely defend to the end, becoming an obstacle that the Sui army cannot bypass.
Wang Shichong's thinking fell on Duan Da's body again, at first I thought that Yang Guang really gave himself the military power of this imperial camp, and after a long time, the core inner circle defense was still handed over to Duan Da, although this person has no military talent, but he also has no scheming, greedy for money and lustful, and has no great desire for power, the Xiaoguo Army in Yang Guang's era is completely different from Yang Jian's era, loyalty has become the first element, especially for the generals who lead the troops. The reason why I gave myself a position in the perimeter defense was that I just wanted to discuss military aircraft with myself from time to time.
With the completion of Yang Guang's order, the generals also took the arrows, got off the high platform, and galloped to the team they led, Mai Tiecane glanced at Wang Shichong, wanted to speak and stopped, or left, the general platform was soon empty, except for a few guards, only Wang Shichong and Yang Guangjunchen who were dressed in official robes remained.
Yang Guang's mood is very good, it can be said that he is complacent, today is the first time he commands the whole army as the commander, looking at these Guan Long generals who usually show off their might, they don't dare to breathe through the atmosphere in front of themselves, and the appearance of obedience and proximity makes him very useful, he walked in front of Wang Shichong and said with a smile: "How about it, Wang Aiqing, my arrangement of troops is reasonable!" ”
Wang Shichong immediately pretended to be humble, and let out a sigh: "Your Majesty's performance is really shocking to Weichen, when His Majesty was wearing a yellow robe in the past, although he had the power of the Son of Heaven, it was not enough to convince Weichen militarily, but if His Majesty's command is determined today, not only Weichen, but also those Guanlong generals dare not take a breath, Weichen has also followed a few famous generals, don't talk about them, although the ancient generals, it is nothing more than that!"
