As soon as these words came out, the three Goguryeo monarchs and ministers present all changed their colors, and Cui Nanfang was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Lord Ulji, do you know what you are talking about? As a courtier, you don't want to keep the enemy out of the country, but you want to put the enemy army in the capital, how are you going to let the king deal with himself? What kind of heart do you have everywhere?! ”

The more Cui boy spoke, the more excited he became, his face was flushed, his mouth was foaming, and everything he blurted out, as if he couldn't show his loyalty to Goguryeo and Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan's face was gloomy, and his red eyes were shining with light, obviously he was also extremely shocked by Ezhi Wende's words, but the majesty of being the king made him calm for the time being, and he didn't have a seizure.

Even Gao Qianhui didn't dare to face Eulzhi Wende at this time, his Adam's apple moved, and he said: "E-branch, E-branch, be cautious, other deceptions, and the strategy of luring the enemy can be, but this is our national capital, Pyongyang City, the king is here, no joke!" ”

Yizhi Wende was confident, and said with a slight smile: "This method is proposed by me after careful consideration, not a momentary impulse and unconspiracy, the king, please forgive Weichen for the crime of false words." In fact, if it weren't for Prince Jian's insistence on going to war, Weichen might have used this strategy early in the morning. ”

Cui boy's face was so red that he was about to turn purple, and his eyes were so wide that his eyeballs were about to burst out, if he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Gao Yuan, he was afraid that he would have rolled up his sleeves and beaten people, he was about to open his mouth to scold, but Gao Yuan waved his hand: "Master Cui, don't be impatient, Da Lu Da, what are your clever plans, but please speak up." ”

Etoshi Wende nodded. Unhurriedly, he said, "The system of the Sui Dynasty. It is mainly based on the government military system. In the Guanzhong region and the border fortresses in the north, various Yingyang prefectures were set up, and the brave and strong among the people were levied as government soldiers, and their whole families were exempted from taxes, so that they could spend a few months a year for training, and once there was a war, these government soldiers were incorporated into the army to fight, because they were trained all year round. Skilled in warfare, coupled with the strong national strength of the Sui Dynasty, the weapons and armor in the treasury are excellent, and the cavalry is composed of the sons and nephews dispatched by the Guanlong family, and the soldiers of the various prefectures form infantry, the strength is strong, if there is an invasion of foreign enemies, the troops of the various prefectures will be levied to attack it, and the soldiers will be scattered to the prefectures and counties at the end of the battle, and it will not cause too much burden to the country. This is the fundamental reason why the Sui Dynasty was strong. ”

Gao Yuan nodded: "These things, last time Gu had already heard from the big to Lu." China's national conditions are different from those of the Sui Dynasty, there is less land and more people, and there are fewer fertile fields suitable for farming, so we have no choice but to let more people never farm in peacetime. If the Sui invasion can be repelled this time, Gu is also ready to implement the government soldier system in some areas according to the Sui system, but these are all later words, what does it have to do with this operation? ”

Yizhi Wende smiled slightly and said: "This is the tactical core of this operation, the generals of the Sui army, most of them are from those families of military merit, and they come out to fight mainly to seek more military merits, and after they go back, they will be awarded the title of official and knighted, but those ordinary government soldiers are forcibly requisitioned, what good is it for them to win the war?" ”

Gao Yuan's eyes lit up, and Gao Qianhui on the side laughed: "According to our country's system, if you defeat the enemy army, you can reduce the taxes of the soldiers who have been levied for several years, and you can also get the reward of the king, won't the Sui Dynasty do this?" ”

Yizhi Wende shook his head: "No, the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty are professional military households that have reduced or exempted taxes, and it is impossible to reduce them anywhere, besides, the Sui Dynasty used a million troops to invade our country this time, and the people are doubled, and there are countless people who give up production to serve the war, plus the previous digging of rivers, road construction, and grain requisition, the national strength has already been tossed almost, no matter what the victory or defeat, there has been a food shortage in the country, and it is definitely impossible to reduce or reduce the taxes of these people, and even after the military households go home, I'm afraid that most of them will also be forced to be taxed, so their enthusiasm for fighting cannot be high, unless they ......"

Gao Yuan suddenly came to his senses and asked, "Unless what's wrong?" ”

Yizhi Wende smiled slightly: "Unless the Sui army makes a wish to these government soldiers, when they invade our country, let them plunder at will, and stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers by burning, killing and looting, no matter what, if they can make a windfall through robbery, it will also be a stimulus for these robbers." ”

Cui Nan scolded hatefully: "These dog things, and the face of the Heavenly Empire, damn it, I don't think even those Beji Wild people will rob them." ”

Yizhi Wende nodded: "Yes, Yang Guang has a good face, and he also added surrendered envoys to the various armies, stipulating that the surrendered cities can avoid plundering, but the Sui troops from all walks of life who are out of Yang Guang's sight and control will not talk about so many rules, as a general, to maintain his own subordinate Qu Jiading, it also takes a lot of windfall, so the current Sui army, from the armies of Liaodong, to Hu'er, all of them are after breaking the city and seizing the wall, they wantonly looted, and even burned the city to cover up their robbery crimes, As for the captured city people, they were taken back to China by the Sui army and sold as slaves. ”

Gao Yuan was moved when he heard this, he had never heard of these things, and said, "Are these things happening in Liaodong?" How did Lone not know? ”

Yizhi Wende sighed: "Yuan Taizuo gritted his teeth and stiffened, and he closed the city in Liaodong City, and even then he didn't ask the king for help, because the king didn't know the situation in Liaodong, and the cities in Liaodong were divided by the Sui army's various armies, just as Weichen said to the king just now, Weichen also relied on the eyes and ears and scouts left in Liaodong to understand the local war situation." ”

Gao Yuan scolded hatefully: "This Yuan Taizuo is really damned, in the battle of Liaohe, he himself took the lead in escaping, but left Yang Qianshou Yang City Lord to die in the back, and a few days ago he also sent a Tang newspaper, saying that Yang Wanchun, the son of Yang Qianshou, fled without a fight, and gave Anshi City to the Sui army, please cure Yang Wanchun's sin alone, hum!" Is it really that Lone is deaf and blind, and he doesn't know about Liaodong? After this battle, Lone must clean up this Yuan family well, otherwise they will really rebel against the king. ”

Yizhi Wende smiled slightly: "Yuan Taizuo is now helping the king to contain Yang Guang's army after all, and now Liaodong City is besieged, and hundreds of thousands of Sui troops are attacking the city day and night, he is doing it himself." However, thanks to the Sui army's burning, killing and looting in various places, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Liaodong City were united, and the Sui army could not attack for a long time, and it has become a stalemate.
