Outside of Goguryeo Dazhai, on a small slope one mile to the east, Yang Wanchun and Eulzhi Wende each rode on a tall horse, standing side by side, and the nearest guards were also scattered a hundred paces away, and the two silently watched the anxious procession, without saying a word.

Yizhi Wende, who still changed into a robe and leather armor, broke the silence first, and he let out a long sigh: "Brother Yang, can't you see it, this is Yuan Taizuo's plan to kill people with a knife, why do you still jump inside?" ”

Yang Qianshou's face sank like water, and he said lightly: "It shouldn't be, I have also gotten along with Yuan Taizuo for a lifetime, although he is ruthless, but at the moment of the great enemy, if the main force of my Anshi army is completely destroyed, then the barrier in front of his Liaodong City will no longer exist, and it will be him who will suffer at that time." ”

Yizhi Wende shook his head: "If he really wants to cut off the queen himself, he won't say anything like that, just arrange for other troops to evacuate, Brother Yang, I don't understand, why did you take the initiative to take his words and let him succeed in this plan?" If you don't say anything, he won't have to clean up the mess himself? ”

The corners of Yang Qianshou's mouth hooked: "Lord Yizhi, although you and I have been friends for decades, classmates when we were teenagers, but now the military situation is urgent, only by working together can we avoid this disaster that has never been seen since the founding of our country, instead of having their own plans, if I don't stand up today, no one in the big camp is willing to stay, and in the end, the cavalry troops of my son Yang Wanchun and Yuangai Suwen stay, and the cavalry will deal with the enemy's smuggling troops in this big village, and they will not be able to play to their strengths, in case the 20,000 iron cavalry of my Liaodong Army is lost, and I want to counterattack in the future, There is no capital. ”

Yizhi Wende sighed: "But even if you want to stay, send a partial general, just keep three or five thousand people, and then this is everyone's business." All cities should be left behind, why do you want to stay in the city? If Yuan Taizuo has evil intentions, and if he doesn't come to the rescue at that time, and doesn't guarantee your retreat, won't you be wiped out? ”

The muscles at the corners of Yang Qianshou's mouth twitched, and he still laughed: "Yuan Taizuo won't be like this." Otherwise, he can only bear an infamy forever in Liaodong, and he will not be able to convince the public. Brother Yizhi, thank you for your reminder and kindness, in fact, I stayed in the palace this time, hoping to use my efforts in exchange for the peace of the whole army. ”

"Over the years, I have been listening to you and trying to find a way to contact the city lords of each city to unite everyone. persuaded Yuan Taizuo to lift the semi-independent state here in Liaodong, but the city lords of all cities were holding on to their own interests, and they were afraid that after Wang Shi came, it would affect their own interests, so after so many years, there has been little success, all of which lies in the Yang clan of my city. Lack of status, not enough prestige. Some people even say that I, Yang Qianshou, have selfish intentions and want to use the royal army's army to subdue the cities and infringe on their interests! ”

Yizhi Wende touched his long beard and sighed: "Brother Yang is loyal to the country. One day, these ignorant and ignorant people will know your good intentions. ”

Yang Qianshou smiled: "Exactly, this is a good opportunity, if I can safely cover the evacuation of the army." The city lords of each city will be grateful to our Yang family in Anshi, so that after the war, my words will have weight, and even when the Sui army divides its troops to besiege the cities, I can also unite a few dangerous city lords and directly ask the royal army to support, as long as most of the city lords are on my side, even if Yuan Taizuo opposes it, it can't be stopped. ”

Yizhi Wende looked at Yang Qianshou with an excited face, knowing that it was impossible to convince him anymore, he sighed and said, "Then Brother Yang can do it himself, brother, I can only wish you all the best." ”

Yang Qianshou nodded and said: "Lord Yizhi, this time after you return to Pyongyang, please report the situation here in Liaodong to the king, let him put the country first, and quickly send troops to rescue, the Sui army is now arrogant, but in the Liaohe area has been our army initially defeated its sharpness, as long as the king's reinforcements can keep up, then it is not a problem for our army to defend the city for half a year, when the enemy's supply line is extended, the food is insufficient, and the siege is not overcome, it will definitely be lost, and when the reinforcements arrive, it will be a complete victory!" ”

The corners of Yizhi Wende's mouth hooked: "This is natural, brother, I will definitely try my best to convince the king, send reinforcements early, Brother Yang, junior brother is all he says, I just hope that everything will go well for you." Oh, by the way, Wang Shichong, the main general of the Sui army this time, is a powerful figure in both civil and military affairs, I heard that he will command the crossing of the river, and please Brother Yang must not be careless. ”

Yang Qianshou said softly: "Isn't this Wang Shichong the businessman you mentioned?" What real talent can a businessman have? ”

Yizhi Wende shook his head and said solemnly: "Brother Yang must not be careless, this person is really extremely powerful, far from being incompetent, today I heard that he made a military order, he must cross the river tomorrow, Brother Yang must be more careful." ”

Yang Qianshou sneered and looked at the other side of everything calm, within a radius of more than 100 miles, the Sui army camp was brightly lit, but there was no movement on the riverbank, Yang Qianshou's horsewhip pointed with a big grin: "Lord Yizhi, is there a problem with your intelligence, will they really cross the river tonight?" ”

Wang Shichong stood at the gate of a camp twenty-five miles downstream from the Goguryeo camp, crossed his arms, and looked at the brightly lit Goguryeo company camp opposite, the Sui army flying tiger banner on his head was constantly shaken by the night wind of the Liao River, and behind him squatted in ambush 20,000 Sui troops, all of them were wearing cloaks, covering the iron clothes that flashed with cold light, and hundreds of soldiers in the camp were constantly patrolling back and forth as usual, and the archers on the arrow tower were also keeping vigil as usual, and they couldn't see the murderous spirit at all.

Fei Qingnu stood beside Wang Shichong, since the death of Mai Tiecane, he was assigned to Wang Shichong's command, he couldn't help asking: "General Wang, what are you still hesitating about?" It's almost time, but there is no movement in the Goguryeo military camp, and since we already know that there is no one in this camp, why don't we rush over now? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Why are we in such a hurry to rush over?" ”

Fei Qingnu's eyes widened, and he said strangely: "General Wang, didn't you make a military order, and you must be the first to cross the river tonight?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled and waved his hand: "I just said that before tomorrow, I will definitely stand in the Goguryeo camp opposite, but I didn't say that I would be the first to go." It is not difficult to cross the river in the past, but the first one to cross the river will definitely be hit by the mobile cavalry of Goguryeo and suffer heavy losses, General Fei, I will try my best to let everyone survive, not become a ghost in a foreign country!
