Fei Qingnu's face changed slightly, the cyan birthmark jumped, and he said suspiciously: "General Wang, we obviously have four or five thousand people ashore, and it is very easy to divide five hundred people, why do you have to bring three hundred people with the last general?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head: "If you have five hundred, or even a thousand people, do you think the two thousand cavalry of Goguryeo will take the initiative to hit the tip of your lance?" ”

Fei Qingnu suddenly understood, and clapped his hands suddenly: "General Wang, I understand, you mean to lure the enemy to charge, and then destroy them all, right?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Yes, and more importantly, these Goguryeo cavalry are very mobile, if we can't take this opportunity to eliminate them, it will become a big trouble for us in the future, even if we can't defeat our army, they can also escape, the purpose of our battle this time is to eliminate as much of Goguryeo's living forces as possible, the more eliminated here, the easier it will be to attack the cities of Liaodong in the future." General Fei, do you think I should give you 300 men or 500? ”

Fei Qingnu laughed: "General Wang, give the last general 500 people, the last general only needs to use 300 people to hold the front, and the rest of the people let them be the same as the flank and rear troops of our army the day before yesterday, harvesting heads on the battlefield, looking very chaotic, and then luring the enemy to attack, the last general promises that these two thousand Goguryeo cavalry will be wiped out!" ”

Wang Shichong smiled and patted Fei Qingnu's shoulder: "Very good, General Fei, then I will give you five hundred elite ironclad soldiers." Defend the flanks and rear of our troops. You'll take care of it. ”

Fei Qingnu answered loudly. Happily running down to count the troops, Wang Shichong turned his head to look at Mai Mengcai, who had been following him, and said: "Maizi, general, you and your brother join forces, bring four thousand iron armor, forcibly advance, and attack the camp in Goguryeo." Remember, we still have a useful battalion, don't set fire to the camp tent and baggage, just seize it, if there are war horses in the Goguryeo battalion, grab them all by chance, don't be in a hurry to behead them, so as not to miss the war! ”

Mai Mengcai's eyes lit up, bowed his hand, and trotted forward all the way. Soon, the more than 4,000 officers and soldiers of the Sui Army in front were divided into two divisions. The troops commanded by Mai Mengcai began to put up their shields, set up long lances, and lined up in a neat line, like a torrent of iron armor, and advanced towards the camp of the Goguryeo army.

Wang Shichong had only more than 200 cronies left by his side, and he turned back to a herald and said: "You quickly return to the east bank and let Shen Guang's 3,000 Xiaoguo cavalry cross the river by boat, the speed does not have to be fast, remember, you are not allowed to walk from the pontoon bridge, lest the war horse be too heavy and crush the pontoon bridge, understand?" (In the new month, ask for all kinds of support, welcome everyone to Baidu Tieba or my book friend group, group number 219263410, to discuss the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties and the plot of this book, and there will be history lectures from time to time.) )

The herald nodded, trotted back along the empty pontoon bridge, and soon disappeared into the night.

Wang Shichong glanced at Wei Zheng beside him and said with a smile: "Xuan Cheng, I'm not wrong, we are still standing on the east bank of the Liao River at this time, how about it, what do you think?" ”

Wei Zheng's expression has always been very serious, since crossing the river, he has been thoughtful, hearing this, the corners of his mouth hooked, and said: "Lord, my subordinates have something to say, I want to talk to you." ”

Wang Shichong nodded, and said to the guards around him: "Xiongxin, you take everyone to guard around, and I will talk to Xuancheng about things." ”

Shan Xiongxin pressed his hand to his chest, gave a military salute, turned around and waved his hand, and more than 200 armored guards quickly dispersed and withdrew to dozens of paces away, forming a straggler line to guard.

Wei Zheng sighed: "Lord, I don't know what you think, have you forgotten what you are going to do when you come to Liaodong this time?" ”

Wang Shichong remained silent and said calmly: "Xuancheng, what do you say I came to Liaodong for?" ”

Wei Zheng's brows furrowed tightly: "The lord came this time to find a way to make the Sui army and the Goguryeo army fall into a stalemate, consume as much of the Sui Dynasty's national strength as possible, and drag the Sui army in this Liaodong area for as long as possible, so as to help the lord's ambition and hegemony." ”

"But what are you doing now? To be honest, I was against this plan to cross the river from the beginning, but at that time you made a military order with Yang Guang, and I don't want to say much, but since you have crossed the river and completed the task, you should not go to kill and damage the strength of the Goguryeo army in large quantities. To be honest, it would be more beneficial to our plan if we could let this main force of the Goguryeo army run away and let them return to the cities to hold on. ”

Wang Shichong sighed softly: "Xuancheng, I understand your thoughts, that day before I went to take over the command of Mai Tiecane, I also had the same mind as you, but after I came to the front line, I found that even if I wanted to seize power in chaos, I was always a Han, a Chinese, in my veins, what flowed was the blood of the descendants of Yan Huang, even if I couldn't see it, but seeing nearly 10,000 soldiers of our army died heroically on the battlefield, the only thing I wanted was to avenge them, and I was fighting a civil war in the Central Plains, You can't let the barbarians of the Quartet look down on you, understand? Hyun Cheng. ”

The corners of Wei Zheng's mouth hooked: "In terms of righteousness, yes, judging from the friendship between you and Mai Tiezhu for so many years, there is nothing wrong, but you are a person who wants to do great things, and those who achieve great things can't be confined to this kind of subsection, if we want to fight for the world in the future, it will be millions of corpses and thousands of miles of blood, if we can't even tolerate the death of these thousands of soldiers, how can we pacify the world?" ”

Wang Shichong said coldly: "Xuan Cheng, do you think I am a kind person who is soft-hearted and emotional? ”

Wei Zheng shook his head: "In Xuancheng's impression before, you were decisive, cold and wise, everything was out of cold rationality, and you were never emotional, but this time it really puzzled Wei, was it entirely because of your friendship with Mai Tiezhu for decades?" ”

Wang Shichong sighed softly, and his eyes became gloomy: "That's just one reason, more importantly, we are all Han Chinese, and it's okay to fight millions of corpses in the Central Plains, but for the barbarians in the four directions, we must not show weakness, Goguryeo killed my 8,000 soldiers, then we must destroy at least 20,000 of his troops, so that they can know the power of my Central Plains army, even if it is a troubled era in the future, they will not be given birth to the heart of taking advantage of the chaos to enter the Central Plains." ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "The lord said this, Wei can understand." It's just that in this way, if Goguryeo loses too much by the Liao River, what if Liaodong is taken by Yang Guang in one go? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly, touched his nose, and said: "I have also thought about this, Goguryeo is a hot hedgehog, not delicious, and even more difficult to digest. (To be continued......)
