Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head: "Minister Yizhi, it's okay for you to deceive others with this hand, just lie to me." This is exactly the second point I want to say, soldiers, tricks, all the art of war, is to confuse the enemy and protect himself, if Yuan Taizuo really has a large number of reinforcements to join, then he will never let me see these cavalry keep entering from the back village. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the cavalry in the distance at the gate of the back village, wearing leather robes, hats, braided hair, riding war horses, and marching in, and said: "Besides, those barbarian cavalry have always been fierce and brisk, but they are not well disciplined, you see these cavalry arrayed into the camp, it is obviously well-trained, only your own cavalry in Goguryeo will be like this, if these barbarians can obey orders and listen to commands so quietly, it is better to let men get pregnant." ”

Yizhi Wende's eyes narrowed, looked at it for a while, sighed, shook his head, and said: "I already knew that this method couldn't deceive you, so tell them not to use it, but this kid Yuangai Suwen is pretending to be smart, and the result is really counterproductive." ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "There are too many flaws, I won't list them all, in short, it has been two or three days since you withdrew your troops, and at this time, I am afraid that most of the troops in Liaodong are already on the way to withdraw to the city, if the Sui army attacks at this time, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to parry." ”

Yizhi Wende nodded: "You are right, so Yuan Taizuo also knows that he must be broken with elite soldiers, otherwise he will be attacked at this time, and the whole army may be wiped out, and his headquarters elite soldiers are left here, if you want to attack at this time, even if you can cross the Liao River, you will suffer heavy losses." ”

Wang Shichong put away his smile. Zhengse said: "Then." Attack three days later. How is it? ”

Ezhi Wende pondered for a moment and said: "In that case, you can attack its rear army, but Yuan Taizuo's main force will retreat with all his body, and in the end, all those left behind are old and weak, do you think this can achieve your effect?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Minister Yizhi knows the effect I want very well? ”

Ezhi Wende laughed: "This is natural, we are people in the same boat, I said it last time." You and I have the same purpose, you want to seize power in the Central Plains, and you can't let the Sui army win quickly, you have to let them fall here, the army is outside, and the daily consumption of thousands of gold, in this way, the rule of the Sui Dynasty will be unstable, and it will give you the opportunity to stand on your own feet in the troubled times, right. Wang Shilang? ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The Prime Minister of Yizhi really wins my heart." For you, though. It also needs the Sui army to cripple Yuan Taizuo and subdue him, forcing him to bow his head to the King of Goguryeo and ask for help, so that his Liaodong land can really be taken back by Goguryeo, and your tribe can also take the opportunity to share part of the benefits, and even replace the position of Yuan Taizuo and become the number one adult, right? ”

Yizhi Wende's white eyebrows raised, and nodded: "This is not a secret, you and I have long known the roots, let's tell the truth, although Yuan Taizuo's losses this time are greater than those of the Sui army, but after all, he completely annihilated the vanguard of the Sui army, and also killed the Sui army's general Mai Tiecane, but most of the dead were the servant troops of other cities, and the loss of his headquarters elite soldiers was not large, so the popularity of the cities in Liaodong has greatly increased, and when the city lords were asked to withdraw their troops that day, everyone was still a little reluctant. ”

"If you can't hit Yuan Taizuo's elite this time and let his 50,000 horses return to Liaodong City, he will be able to defend the city with ease, that is, you have a million troops, and you can't even think of capturing it for a year and a half, only if he is in pain, especially the heavy losses of the cavalry troops, can he lower his arrogant head and ask the king for help."

Wang Shichong said coldly: "But the king of your family, it is impossible to send troops to rescue him immediately, I am afraid that the navy of the Great Sui is about to arrive in Goguryeo, and the king of your family is difficult to protect himself." ”

Eulji Wende smiled slightly: "Coming from the waterway, all the way through strong winds and waves, it is difficult for the war horse to play a role, we can deal with it, and there is the Baekje and Silla troops in the south, although Chen Bing 100,000 is above my country's military territory, but he has a wait-and-see attitude, and has not entered my Goguryeo country, so the situation of my king, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Wang Shichong didn't know the situation of Zhou Fashang's way, and wanted to find out some news from Yizhi Wende's mouth, but he didn't expect this guy to be treacherous and slippery, tight-lipped like a bottle, and he couldn't detect it at all, he nodded and said, "So, when can I cross the river to pursue Yuan Taizuo?" ”

Yizhi Wende looked up at the sun that had begun to set in the west, groaned for a while, and said: "You cross the river tomorrow night, at that time Yuan Taizuo should have evacuated the infantry, and may leave the cavalry behind, as long as your ironclad infantry crosses the river, the cavalry is difficult to resist, and the cavalry generals who lead the team are Yuan Gai Suwen and Yang Wanchun, these two generals are both teenagers, and they won the battle the day before yesterday, they are arrogant at this time, and they should give you a chance to take advantage of." ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "I understand what to do." Minister Etoji, this time we say goodbye, maybe we may not meet again in the future, so let's do it ourselves. ”

Eulzhi Wende's eyes showed a complicated look: "No matter how you and I stand against each other, I, Ezhi Wende, admire you very much, Wang Shichong, if you really have the opportunity to take the Central Plains and sit in the world, I hope that we can still catch up as friends at that time, and I also hope that our Goguryeo and your country can become friends, and there will never be a sword and soldier again." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Everything is precious." ”

When Wang Shichong got off the boat and stepped on the west bank of the Liao River, Pei Shiju had already taken a group of civil and military officials and sergeants to his entourage, and looked at the shore for a long time. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly, and while instructing the entourage behind him to carry the three coffins off the boat, carefully lift them on their shoulders, and march towards the camp, while walking side by side with Pei Shiju, he said: "The Goguryeo people also talk about etiquette, I used to discuss the matter of sending them money, why should they be unfavorable to me?" ”

Pei Shiju smiled: "Your eyes are too thief, I'm afraid that they will be worried that they will show you the truth, so they will attack you, anyway, you have already brought the money, and the life and death are theirs." ”

Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head: "They just want to use my mouth to pass on the news, so as to delay the time to retreat, let's go, let's go to see the Supreme, the Goguryeo people are ready to slip away, tomorrow during the day, we have to force the crossing, we must not let them escape!"
