In Yang Guang's imperial tent, a group of civil officials and military generals, the atmosphere did not dare to take a mouthful, staring closely at a large sand table in front of them, this map is Yu Wenkai, a capable worker, in half a month after observing the terrain and hydrology of hundreds of miles around the Liao River, carefully made, today just in front of Yang Guang, compared to the flat, dry silk map, this sand table is much more intuitive, even the veteran Yu Wenshu nodded again and again praised.

Yang Guang looked at this sand table, but the face was as heavy as water, the east bank of the Liaoshui River of the sand table, stretching for more than 100 miles, was full of endless camps of the Goguryeo army, which seemed to be impeccable, and many of the other ferries were turbulent, or the reefs were dense, and it was impossible to build bridges or force crossings.

The voice of a herald attendant dragged out into the tent: "Report, marshal, General Wang is back." ”

A trace of excitement flashed in Yang Guang's eyes, and he hurriedly raised his head, and the golden armor leaves on his body shook for a while: "Quickly announce that General Wang is in the account." ”

Wang Shichong and Pei Shiju, who was dressed as a civil official, opened the tent and entered, Wang Shichong was slightly stunned at first when he saw this sand table, and then turned to Yang Guang and gave a military salute: "The last general returned from the Goguryeo camp, and he gave orders to the marshal." As he spoke, he respectfully took the scepter in both hands, and two attendants stepped forward to take it.

Yang Guang nodded and said to Wang Shichong: "General Wang, how did things go when you sent an envoy to the Goguryeo camp this time?" Will the bodies of the three generals be brought back? What are the movements of the enemy camp? ”

Wang Shichong put on a sad expression, squeezed out two tears, and wiped his eyes with his hands. sighed: "The last general is fortunate to live up to his mission. The remains of three generals. It has been picked up, and now it is outside the royal tent. ”

Yang Guang also put on a sad expression, wiped his eyes pretendly, and said: "The three generals, especially General Mai, died heroically, worthy of the generals of my Great Sui Army, generals. We must take General Maizi, General Qian, and General Meng as examples, be loyal and brave to the country, and try our best to kill thieves! ”

The generals present saluted in unison: "No! ”

Wang Shichong continued: "As for the big camp of the Goguryeo army, in the humble opinion of the last general, although they made it look like they were constantly reinforcing troops, they should be withdrawing. ”

Yang Guang's face changed, and he lost his voice: "What? You say the Goguryeo army is withdrawing? What's going on? ”

Yu Wenshu's sharp gaze shot straight at Wang Shichong: "General Wang, this is the handsome tent." There is no joke in the army, you are responsible for your own words. Don't be presumptuous! ”

Wang Shichong sneered in his heart, although Yu Wenshu didn't make trouble with himself last time, he didn't find trouble with himself in the past few years, and even joined hands with himself to do business, and he responded to his needs, but in his heart, he still hated himself, and whenever he had the opportunity, he always had to press himself, and he would not let himself take the opportunity of this battle to make too much merit and climb on his head.

So Wang Shichong's face was calm, and he said: "This is the conclusion of the last general's observation in the enemy camp, the last general believes in his own eyes and judgment, it is not a lie, if there is a mistake, he is willing to be a military law!" ”

The corners of Yang Guang's mouth hooked, and he said to Yuwenshu: "General Yuwen, let people speak!" As for whether it is reasonable, it is not too late to draw conclusions after General Wang has finished what he has seen and heard. ”

Yu Wenshu was annoyed in his heart, but he could only say: "No! ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly and said to Yang Guang: "Xie Dashuai." Since the last general entered the Goguryeo military camp, he felt that in the Goguryeo military camp, the soldiers were strong and strong, and there were teams of soldiers everywhere, and the company camp was more than 100 miles, and the sound of flags and horns was endless. ”

Yang Guang's face became a little disappointed with the anticipation, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his voice: "General Wang, when you hear this, I can't see that any enemy army is about to retreat." ”

Wang Shichong confidently hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "Marshal, in the art of war, the strong is shown by the weak, and the weak is shown by the strong, the Goguryeo army annihilated our army in the previous round, but its combat power is obviously inferior to our army, and seeing the scale and determination of our army, it is said that it is obviously the weak side, it is unreasonable to show strength at this time, unless, it is to hide its true intentions." ”

Yang Guang's heart moved, and he hurriedly said, "What is their true intention?" Isn't there reinforcements joining, how can the troops be withdrawn? ”

Wang Shichong said: "Goguryeo this time showed the strength to fight with our army, in addition to the archers with strong bows and arrows, and the camp to rely on, it is their cavalry troops, at the beginning of our army crossing the bridge, can not rush the cavalry, can only have infantry, this time General Mai's army was defeated, but also because of the reason for the cavalry to copy the back road, it is said that if they really want to fight, they should lure our army to cross the river, and then use the cavalry to assault, how can the cavalry be exposed." ”

"Besides, those new cavalry who entered the camp looked well-trained and marched in formation, although they wore leather robes, combed their braided hair, and looked like barbarians, but in the eyes of the last general, they were definitely not the barbarian cavalry of the northern servant tribes, but the cavalry of the Goguryeo headquarters, they only had the Liaodong Army to fight now, and the headquarters had not sent a single soldier, that was obviously the cavalry that assaulted General Mai a few days ago, and the number would not exceed 10,000."

This time, even Yu Wenshu nodded again and again, Yang Guang understood it, his face soothed a little, and said: "In this way, the Goguryeo army is deliberately showing strength to cover its own withdrawal, right?" General Wang, do you clearly see evidence that the Goguryeo army is withdrawing? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "The Goguryeo army is not a fool, it is impossible to withdraw the army when the last general goes to the big camp, even if it is withdrawn, it will only be done when the last general is not there, but according to the last general, in addition to their main camp, the other battalions, although the flags are all over the place, the camp tents are full of ground, but they look empty, and even the last general sees a lot of birds falling in the camp, if there are people in those camps, it will not be like this, so the last general dares to assert that the Goguryeo army has withdrawn, and this transaction of the corpses of the three generals is a delaying strategy, Now the Goguryeo army in front of us is only afraid of the main battalion of only tens of thousands of people! ”

Yang Guang laughed and said: "Okay, good, as Ben Shuai expected, the Goguryeo people were afraid of my Great Sui Tianwei and scared away, General Wang, you and Ben Shuai expected, exactly the same, pass the order, the army will be ready immediately, within three hours, I will kill Ben Shuai across the Liao River, the first strong man to cross the river, a reward of ten thousand gold, and seal the pillar country!"
