Among the dog halls in the palace, which are not luxurious and generous, as soon as Yu Shiji's words fell, he was supported by many ministers. Now no one wants to follow the four expeditions to Goryeo again, and if they continue to conquer Goryeo, everyone's old life will be gone.

Yang Guang wanted to ignore these ministers, but thinking about the fact that Liaodong was in a hurry like fighting a fire, he really didn't have so much time to wait for him to rush from here with a large army. For the sake of his peerless martial arts, in order to set foot on the goal of leveling Goguryeo, Yang Guang had no choice but to endure and said, "Then according to your Aiqing's opinion, which general should I send to lead the troops?" ”

Pei Yun got up and said, "Time is urgent, and the minister recommends General Pei Renji, the general of Zuo Wuwei, to lead the troops to reinforce Liaodong." General Pei Renji is now in Hejian County, not far from Liaodong. And General Pei Renji has five soldiers and horses under his account, including 10,000 elite horsemen. Moreover, his eldest son Pei Xing has the courage of ten thousand people, known as the enemy of ten thousand, and the second eldest Pei Xingjian is resourceful. Fathers and sons go into battle, and brothers must fight tigers. It is just right for Pei Xingyan to lead 10,000 cavalry to the north, and General Pei Renji will lead 20,000 infantry to follow, so the danger in Liaodong can be solved. ”

Pei Renji is the general of Zuo Wuwei, but he is also the leader of Pei Zhu in the army. At present, the emperor has begun to be suspicious of Chen Pojun, so now he will send Pei Lord's men and horses north to Liaodong, and wait for the siege of Liaodong to be relieved first. Then next, the emperor will definitely divide and set up Chen Pojun, so that Liaodong will fall into the control of his Pei Valve.

What Pei Yun had to think, Yu Wenshu, who was standing in the hall, could see it at a glance. Today, he had already seen that the emperor was suspicious of Chen Pojun, so he didn't say a word for the past half a day. For Yuwenshu, an old fox, Chen Kefu was a chess piece that he Yuwenque used to deal with Pei Valve. Now that the chess pieces have risen so quickly, there is a tendency to get out of control, which is not what he wants to see. Suppressing Chen Pojun at the right time, so that he can't get out of the control of his Yuwen valve, this is the situation he wants to see the most.

But now Pei Yun wants to intervene sideways, wanting to insert Pei Lang's forces into Liaodong, which has just been captured. This is what Yuwenshu does not want to see, what the enemy wants to do, it must be what he wants to stop, this is his law of struggle.

"Your Majesty, the strongest soldiers and horses in my Great Sui today are the Xiaoguo Army beside Your Majesty, the broken military camp of Chen Pojun, the Eight Winds Battalion of Zhang Xutuo, the Huainan Army of Wang Shichong, and the ironclad cavalry of Luo Yi of Zhuojun. These five soldiers and horses are the real strongest soldiers in the world, and the Imperial Historian is the official who is in charge of the Imperial Historical Observatory. Usually it is his duty to impeach officials. But when it comes to military affairs, this is not his strong point. As for the father and son of Bae In-gi mentioned by Dr. Yushi. Although he is also a general in the army, it is far from Chen Pojun and other five troops. ”

"You..." Pei Yun wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start.

The five soldiers and horses mentioned by Yuwenshu are indeed the strongest soldiers in the world. The 10,000 Xiaoguo army commanded by Sima Dekan was carefully selected from the entire hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Each of them is a martial artist and a strong person.

They are now in Gaoyang, and they are the personal guards of His Majesty the Emperor.

And Chen Pojun's broken military camp should be the shortest of the five soldiers and horses, and it has now been reorganized and expanded into the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Liaodong camp. However, although this army has not been for a long time, since its formation, it has experienced several major battles, but all of them have been defeated, and the results achieved are extremely impressive. Therefore, Yuwenshu listed him as one of the strongest soldiers in the world, and no one dared to say no.

Zhang Xutuo was originally a county of Qi County, and the land of Shandong has been a place where rebellions and thieves have occurred frequently in recent years. Zhang Xutuo has been fighting against rebels and bandits for several years, and it can be said that his subordinates are completely a hundred battles. Now Zhang Xutuoguan is from Henan to arrest the ambassador, and he has 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and among them, there are 10,000 strongest soldiers and horses, which is the Eight Winds Battalion. The Eight Winds Camp is not only the name of a battalion head, but also the user of the Eight Battalion Array created by Zhang Xutuo. Zhang Xutuo relied on the Eight Winds Array and the Eight Winds Camp to win a hundred battles in Shandong and Henan, and no one was invincible.

As for Wang Shichong, he is the least famous of the five at this time. He was of mixed Hu and Han descent, and was originally the adopted son of a merchant in the Western Regions. I don't know how to mix him up with a Jiangdu county. But in order to be very smart, he did a few things for the emperor, and they were all very good. In the end, he was ordered to recruit Huainan people as soldiers to conquer the bandits in the south. He thus formed the Huainan Army, which fought in Jianghuai and won successive battles, and the rebel bandits he fought fled everywhere and surrendered. ,

Luo Yi, who went to Zhuo County, did not have a high official position, but he was only one of the four tiger Benlang generals under Li Jingjie, the general of the Right Military Guard. Luo Yi himself was arrogant, had a discord with his boss Li Jing, and once slandered Li Jing for rebellion, but he was unsuccessful, but was humiliated by Li Jing many times. However, anyone who has a thorny head is generally the kind of person who has the ability. Luo Yi is also such a person, with a very bad temper, but he leads the troops and orders are strict, and his department is very combative. His line of defense was on the doorstep of the Turks, so his soldiers and horses were cavalry, and they were also ironclad cavalry.

The ironclad cavalry is the same as the cavalry that Chen Kefu broke through in Xincheng.

Luo Yi's ironclad cavalry is the most authentic armor and cavalry equipment of the Great Sui. Zhuojun was also called Youzhou in the early Sui Dynasty, and that place was the plain, and the plain was the best battlefield for using armor and cavalry. Over the years, in several encounters with the Turks, his ironclad cavalry had beaten the Turks without the slightest temper. On the Turkic side, this army of his soldiers and horses is called Youzhou Iron Cavalry! However, he did not have many soldiers and horses, only 5,000 cavalry, in fact, 3,000 ironclad cavalry and 2,000 light cavalry.

As soon as he heard Yu Wenshu mention these strongest soldiers, Yang Guang couldn't help but be happy. Brushing his beard, he smiled and said, "I am rich all over the world and have the strongest armor soldiers." Those clowns who jump sorghum, why should I put it in my eyes. Yuwen Aiqing, in your opinion, which armor is to be sent to reinforce Liaodong? ”

"Your Majesty, five early strong soldiers and horses, the broken military camp is already in Liaodong. The Xiaoguo Army is His Majesty's guard, and he can't leave for a moment. The Huainan army is far away in Jianghuai, but it is not thirsty to quench its thirst. The only ones left are the Youzhou Iron Cavalry and the Eight Winds Battalion. The Youzhou Iron Cavalry is in Zhuo County, the closest to Liaodong, but Luo Yi's troops are only 5,000 soldiers, which is too small, and they have always guarded against the Turks in the north.

If they were transferred to reinforce Liaodong, they delayed the defense of the Turks. ”

"So the minister thinks that the only suitable one is the Eight Winds Battalion, and at the moment, as far as I know, General Zhang Xutuo is leading his army to fight against the Hebei bandits in Zhuo County. According to General Zhang's prestige, I believe that it will not take a few days to defeat the bandits there. His Majesty only needs to send a holy decree to Lord Zhang. Let him not have to turn south after receiving the order, and go directly east to Liaodong to reinforce Liaodong City, so that the siege of Liaodong can be relieved. ”

On the top of the main hall, Yang Guang sat there and was silent for a while, no one knew what he was thinking.

But in the end, Yang Guang still said with a smile on his face: "Intention!" ”

"Tell me the will. Chen Pojun was crowned as the Guanglu doctor, commanding the soldiers and horses of the Marshal of the Liaodong Marching Army, and all the officers and generals of the Liaodong Marching Camp were approved by him. In addition, Li Benlei, Li Jie, and Mao Xi were promoted to the second rank right Guanglu doctor, and were crowned as the general from the second rank, Li Benlei Jin Jue Fuyu Marquis, Li Jiejin Marquis Gai Mu Marquis, and Mao Xi Jin Xincheng Marquis. The marching chief of the seven armies of the Liaodong camp was promoted to the doctor of Zhengsanpin Jin Ziguanglu, the general of Zhengsanpin, and the title of marquis was proposed by Shangshu Province. The deputy commander of the march of the Seventh Army, the marching Sima, and the marching commander Shi Shu was promoted to the doctor from the third grade silver Qingguanglu, and the third division of the Shangkai Fuyi. ”

Yang Guangnian said, and there was a special person below to hurry up and say, this is the official holy decree, not only did they not come to Liaodong, but they were already getting farther and farther away from Liaodong.

A yellow-faced young general under Zhang Xutuo's tent said, "My lord, our army is running out of food and grass, and if we continue to confront each other, I am afraid that it will not be good for our army." ”

Zhang Xutuo, who was over fifty years old and had a big beard on his face, said calmly, "Don't worry, everyone. The thief will be tomorrow, and early tomorrow morning, our army will withdraw from the camp. When the thief sees the soldier, he will come after me.

If a thousand people attack the camp, there will be great benefits. This honesty is dangerous, who can go. ”

The task of attacking the enemy's camp with a small army of troops and horses was too dangerous, and no one in the tent responded for a long time.

The yellow-faced young general and a young general next to him who was no more than five feet tall glanced at each other, and said in unison, "Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin is willing to go!" When Zhang Xutuo heard this, he looked at the two young generals and laughed, "Okay, it's really a hero out of a young man." The general order, the infantry team is Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, and the general will order you to unify the two of you with a thousand infantry, and lie in ambush in the reeds tomorrow, waiting for the enemy to come out of the camp to pursue our department. You wait for the army to storm the enemy's camp. Burn down the enemy camp! ”

Huang Ying and Nayan Suwei, the general secretaries, couldn't help but look a little embarrassed when they saw that Zhang Xutuo had actually handed over such an important task to the two young team members. However, although he is the prime minister, he is not easy to interfere in the barracks. I had to sigh helplessly. ,

It was just dawn, and the whole land was silent. The ground was covered with a layer of silver frost.

In this silent dawn, suddenly the sound of footsteps began to break the silence.

Groups of infantry armed with guns and knives walked in orderly steps on the wilderness. There was a sound of horses' hooves, and a bearded general rode past with a group of horsemen until he rushed up a small hill. His brow furrowed, his eyes looking into the distance, as if waiting for something.

It didn't take long for a noisy sound to finally come from behind, and the furrowed brows of the bearded general on the horse suddenly stretched. Lu Mingyue really didn't give up this opportunity to defeat him, and took the soldiers and horses out of the camp to pursue.

The general on the horse waved his hand, and the neatly walked foot riders began to slowly accelerate and run, as if fleeing in panic.

As soon as the soldiers and horses ran, Lu Mingyue, who was chasing behind, no longer had the slightest concern, and led the army to rush away.

But what he didn't notice was that as his army rolled by, in the reeds on both sides of the road they had just left, two young generals headed straight for their lair with two thousand men and horses.

The two thousand infantry ran desperately all the way, and after a while, they had already arrived outside Lu Mingyue's camp.

When I arrived, I found that although Lu Mingyue led the army out of the camp to pursue, she also sent thousands of people to stay behind.

At this time, the camp was closed, and the high fence, like a wall, kept them firmly out of the camp gate.

Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin looked at each other, and they were both a little dumbfounded. Before they came, they didn't expect this to be the result, they were only 2,000 infantry, and in order to hide conveniently, they had no other weapons except the horizontal knives in their hands. How do you get in to this fence right now?

Shu Bao's yellow face was full of disappointment, and he even became a little annoyed. Why is your luck so bad? Every time there is such an accident. He was originally under the account of the great general Laihu'er, but later he wanted to win fame and wealth with his own hands, so he left Laihu'er's troops to participate in Xiaoguo, and followed Yang Guang to Liaodong to conquer Goguryeo.

With his bravery in battle, he became the commander of the gang, but Shen Guang, who was also the commander of the gang, performed well during a siege and was directly promoted by the emperor to be a martial arts general from Wupin. This big stab hit him, and as a result, in a later siege battle, he desperately killed the head of the city, killing more than ten people in a row, and even killed a Liao junior officer. originally thought that he would be rewarded for promotion, but who would have thought that the emperor would urgently withdraw his troops and retreat with a large army that night.

As for his exploits, the higher authorities promoted him as the deputy of the team and gave him a reward of 20 times. But a small team deputy from Jiupin, and a Lang general from Wu, this is too different. After retreating from Goguryeo to the Central Plains, he followed the army to Boling County.

Shandong and Henan rebellions broke out one after another, and the emperor transferred many officers from Xiaoguo to the armies of the two places to strengthen the force of suppressing bandits. As a result, he followed back to his hometown Shandong and entered Zhang Xutuo's army. From beginning to end, he held his breath and wanted to make meritorious contributions.

Although this mission was dangerous, he came without half a minute of hesitation, who would have thought that now he was actually blocked in front of such a fence.

"Damn, don't think about it, Brother Qin, let's just talk to his mother."

Luo Shixin, who was short and sturdy on the side, was no more than five feet long, and he was only fourteen years old at this time. But among Zhang Xutuo's subordinates, he is definitely Zhang Xutuo's henchman, and he is a demon king who kills people without blinking.

Qin Shubao nodded, this is the only way to do it now, at the moment, the two of them braved the arrows, dodged left and right, climbed over the fence like apes, and then climbed the gatehouse, killing more than a dozen archery guys one after another: Then, cut open the camp gate, and with a loud roar, the two thousand infantry outside the door swept in like a tide.

The two led more than 2,000 elite infantry like hungry tigers, slashing and killing indiscriminately, crushing the rebels defending the camp, and then burning the camp to the ground with a fire! The entire rebel camp was in flames and smoke, reaching into the sky.

This fire is a signal, Lu Mingyue saw it, and Zhang Xutuo also saw it. Lu Mingyue was both shocked and angry, the rebels were not imperial court soldiers, all their supplies and logistics were in the camp, they had no base, and they grabbed wherever they went. Now that this fire is burning, all his food and grass are gone.

Without food and grass and without troops, he could not afford this loss. Lu Mingyue commanded the army to stop the pursuit and turned around and returned to the camp to fight the fire. In the midst of the pursuit, a sudden U-turn was too sudden for these rebels, who were mostly peasants, and the whole rebel army was suddenly confused. Before and after me, the formation was not in order, and the formation was completely lost.

The cunning Zhang Xutuo was waiting for this opportunity, and with a wave of his horse, more than 10,000 horses turned around, showing the good quality of the regular army of the Great Sui.

There was no chaos, no panic, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses quickly completed the switch between attack and defense, and rushed towards the chaotic rebels.

There was no suspense anymore, and the rebels who had lost their formation were no different from a group of peasants. In front of this group of elites of the Eight Winds Battalion, who had experienced a hundred battles, they were completely one-sided, and in the end, they didn't even collapse first. Like a wave, it soon swept through the entire rebel ranks.

100,000 horses, less than two hours before and after, completely defeated. The soldiers can't find the generals, they can't find the soldiers, Lu Mingyue, who is known as the supreme king, only came and sighed, took hundreds of the most elite old brothers, grabbed a life, and fled.

After defeating Lu Mingyue, Zhang Xutuo had time to carefully search for the defeated rebels.

Leaving 3,000 old and weak wounded soldiers to escort the prisoners back to Shandong, he took 18,000 infantry, all of them riding in pairs, with billowing smoke and dust, and marched eastward and went straight to Liaodong!
