After leaving Sashui, the team had already marched north for nine days, because it had to avoid the Goguryeo brigade and attack the fortresses along the road to obtain food, and the speed of the procession was not very fast. In fact, Li Xian didn't want to take people back to Dasui so soon.

Although after a series of purges, this team is now obedient to him. For nine consecutive days, Li Xian kept instilling a consciousness in the soldiers, that is, they were no longer the soldiers of the Great Sui. But Li Xian knew that if he really wanted this team to follow him with all his heart, he still needed an opportunity. And at this opportunity, Li Xian had already sent someone to arrange it early.

He wants to make this team completely dead to the Great Sui and completely forget that they are the soldiers of the Great Sui.

Dugu Zhen didn't show any unusual behavior, and Li Xian was sure that he didn't say anything to Xue Wanche. Xue Wanche is not simple at all, this person's military talent is not weak at all, and as long as he is willing to calm down and think about the problem, the surname Wu is not much worse than Dugu Zhen. What Dugu can really think of, he will think of sooner or later.

On the ninth day of the march, the team camped at the foot of a large mountain to rest.

Li Xian didn't have anything to do, so he went to see the Xiongkuohai to train his troops, and Li Xian valued the 1,000 elite infantry very much. Although he prefers the pleasure of cavalry charges, there is no doubt that infantry will still be the main combat force on the battlefield in the future. Moreover, Xiong Kuohai is far simpler than Xue Wanche and others, he is from a humble family, it stands to reason that this person can already be promoted to captain after accumulating military merits, and it is not an exaggeration to even be a general from the fifth grade, but just because he is not a child of a family, he has been in the position of brigade rate for a long time.

For Da Sui, he has resentment in his heart.

In particular, Yu Wenshu discarded more than 200,000 troops, and the fact that the eight generals fled with their own soldiers made him even more desperate for the Great Sui, so it was not difficult for Li Xian to win him over. In fact, if such a person is good to him, he will be doubly good to you.

The mountain is not very high, but the radius is extremely vast. There are several small villages of Goguryeo people along the mountain, and Li Xian's team has already combed through it after arriving, and the people of Goguryeo have already taken refuge in the big city, and there are no people in this mountain village. It is not difficult to hide a team of more than 20,000 people in the mountains, and even the march and battle that is coming from the day, the team should indeed rest for two days.

In a clearing at the foot of the mountain, Xiong Kuohai was training with his soldiers.

It's not that complicated, it's just queue training. The soldiers of the Great Sui Prefecture had a complete set of training methods, and there were more than 20 kinds of infantry formations. Li Xian hoped that Xiong Kuhai would train a heavy infantry, and a thousand sets of infantry heavy armor would now be worn on those soldiers. The 300,000 elite army of the Great Sui was defeated, and the baggage was lost all the way. Li Xian is like a scavenger, picking up what he sees, and preferring to abuse it to lack it.

A thousand pairs of heavy armor is not difficult to assemble compared to the soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion. And Xiong Kuohai has also replaced all the weapons of these thousand people with Mo knives, just like the murderous weapons in his hands.

Seeing Li Xian's arrival, Xiong Kuohai ordered the soldiers to continue training, and he strode up to meet him.

"General"

The majestic sea shouted.

Li Xian smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just come and see you training." ”

Xiong Kuohai's face turned red rarely, and he smiled and said, "I haven't brought so many soldiers, and I don't know if I can train them well." I'm afraid I'm sorry for your trust, general, people have been handed over to me, but I can't practice the ability to kill the enemy. ”

Li Xian smiled and said: "I know your ability, and it is the right way to hand over these people to you." I'll give you more people in the future, at least I'll let you bring out a 5,000-strong hoplite. Training now is also training yourself, and you won't have a headache if you have more subordinates in the future. If there are 5,000 elite soldiers to open the way, plus 4,000 cavalry, the Goguryeo people can't stop it at all if they go back to Liaoshui! ”

Xiong Kuohai nodded, and suddenly asked as if he remembered something, "General...... There's one thing, I don't know whether to ask you or not, I haven't had a chance to talk to you alone, and I've been holding it in my heart for a long time. ”

Li Xian pointed to the tree not far away, where there was a rather smooth boulder. Xiong Kuohai understood and walked behind Li Xian. Sitting down on the big rock, Li Xian asked, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Xiong Kuohai hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "General, if we can return to the Great Sui, will we ...... Go back to serving as soldiers for those guys? ”

Li Xian was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Xiong Kuohai would mention it first.

"I don't have the surname Yan"

Li Xian thought for a while and said, "I'm not called Yanyun either. ”

This abrupt remark made Xiong Kuohai stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Li Xian incredulously and asked, "Then ...... you?"

"My surname is Li, and my name is Li Xian."

"Of course, I am not the child of a merchant family, and my family is not very rich. I was originally a horse thief on Yanshan, a horse thief who couldn't tolerate me in the Great Sui Imperial Court. The men and horses of the imperial court killed hundreds of my brothers on Yanshan, including the elder brother who took care of me since childhood. And when the soldiers of the Great Sui attacked us, we were fighting the Turks! ”

Li Xian paused, glanced at the stunned majestic sea, smiled and asked, "Something incredible?" ”

Xiong Kuohai nodded and said honestly: "The subordinates are indeed ...... Unexpectedly. ”

"I came to Liaodong to find an opportunity to assassinate Yang Guang, the Emperor of the Great Sui. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet the old general Mai Tiezhu who was killed in battle, so the surname Suo snatched the old general's body back. The reason why I went north along the river that day was because I was afraid of being surrounded and killed by the men and horses of the Great Sui. What I didn't expect was that no one in the Liaodong army recognized me, and Yang Guang also sent someone to find me and let me enter the Great Sui Army to serve. To tell you the truth, I entered the Sui army to find an opportunity to assassinate the emperor. ”

"But then I went to war with the Goguryeo, and I knew that at that time I wouldn't be able to kill him even if I had the chance. In that case, the army of millions will collapse in an instant, and I don't want to be a sinner of the Han people, nor do I want to watch millions of soldiers of the Great Sui die in a foreign land. ”

"Later, when I went on an expedition with the army, I was still thinking that killing the Goguryeo people was far more enjoyable than killing the emperor. Although the emperor is my enemy, the blood debt of hundreds of lives is on my shoulders. But when I got to the battlefield in Liaodong, I had no way to start. After that, I fought all the way to Goguryeo, but I found that those great generals of the Great Sui were so insidious one by one, and they wanted to kill me several times. ”

"Because of my pursuit of Yizhi Wende, Xin Shixiong and Wang Rengong designed to harm me. If it weren't for General Xue Shixiong's rescue, I'm afraid I would have died under the city of Pyongyang. From that moment, I found out that after all, I and the people of the Great Sui Court were not all the way. ”

Li Xian sighed and said, "I'm not dead, and I don't want to watch everyone die in Sashui." I stopped Yuwenshu and asked him to wade back with 10,000 soldiers and horses to rescue the brothers trapped on the south bank, but Yuwenshu didn't give me a single one! The so-called high-ranking officials, the so-called generals, are not as righteous as our horse thieves! ”

Xiong Kuohai said angrily: "Yuwen Shu, that old thief! When the general stopped in front of his horse, his subordinates saw it, so he followed the general back to the south bank, so many brothers were trapped on the south bank, and the old thief turned a blind eye and fled for his own life! ”

Li Xian asked, "You don't mind that I'm a horse thief?" ”

Xiong Kuohai said solemnly: "A good man and a husband, no matter where he comes from, the general has saved so many brothers and come back, and his subordinates admire the general!" ”

Li Xian smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

Xiong Kuohai said: "General, what are you going to do with these brothers when they are brought back?" ”

Li Xian shook his head and said: "I don't know yet, after all, they are all soldiers of the Great Sui, if they know that I am a horse thief, I am afraid that they will abandon me immediately, and even tie me up and send me to the court to ask for merit." I'm glad I could bring them all home. As long as the brothers do not turn against each other before returning home, there is nothing else to ask for. After passing Liaoshui, I went back to Yanshan. ”

Xiong Kuohai said eagerly: "No! ”

He looked left and right and whispered: "General, although his subordinates are rough people, they can also see that the world of the Great Sui is about to be chaotic!" Before we set out on the expedition, how many people north of the Yellow River who could not survive raised their banners to rebel? Gao Shida, Zhang Jin said, Sun Anzu, Wang Bo, all gathered tens of thousands of people, this time the army conquered Liaodong, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were killed, and the foundation of the Great Sui has been shaken! Those grass cowards are still planning to fight the world, why didn't the general make a plot earlier? If the general has more than 20,000 elite soldiers in his hands, it will be easy to occupy one place! ”

Li Xian was stunned, he didn't expect Xiong Kuohai to have this thought.

"Easier said than done!"

Li Xian sighed.

Xiong Kuohai saw that Li Xian didn't seem to care about the rebellion, and eagerly persuaded: "General, with your ability, if you are willing to plan a big thing, why don't you worry?" Zhang Jin said that people like Gao Shida can gather to raise the flag, why can't the general? Besides, if the general can gather one side and have 100,000 soldiers under his command in the future, will he still not be able to take revenge? Now is the opportunity, as long as the general returns with the team, who can be the opponent? ”

Li Xian showed that he was moved by Xiong Kuohai's words, hesitated for a moment and said, "Can ...... After all, these soldiers are all soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion, how difficult it is to let them rebel! ”

Xiong Kuohai smiled and said in a low voice: "Why is it difficult? ”

He lowered his voice and said, "As long as the soldiers are charged with a crime, they won't be able to do it if they don't want to!" ”

……

……

Dugu Zhen took a sip of the bad wine he had snatched from the Goguryeo fort, and it was spicy, and suddenly a fire seemed to burn in his throat. Because a few days ago, a Goguryeo woman was in that fortress, and after drinking wine at this time, the hot feeling in her chest and abdomen became violent again. It's just a pity that the army can't march with a woman, so the woman was twisted by his own hands. Thinking about it now, Dugu really regrets it.

When he was in Dasui, what kind of woman couldn't he get?

The battle of Liaodong has lasted for eight months, and the Goguryeo woman who was quite beautiful a few days ago was the first time he had touched a woman in these eight months! At the thought of this, he was a little irritated, and got up and walked out of the tent to breathe. After going out and walking for a while, I suddenly saw Yan Yun and Xiong Kuohai whispering something under a big tree. He frowned, and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.

He originally wanted to find Yan Yun, and planned to take a group of soldiers to find a Goguryeo village on the mountain to see if he could grab a few women back, but when he saw Yan Yun and Xiong Kuohai whispering, his heart suddenly tightened. In his opinion, although Yan Yun did not show any hostility during this period, he knew that the closer he got to the Great Sui, the more dangerous he was, and Yan Yun would attack him sooner or later. Of course, if he was willing to go along with him, Yan Yun might reuse himself.

But Dugu really can't imagine that the rebellious Da Sui can have any way to live.

He stopped, and seeing that Yan Yun and Xiong Kuohai didn't notice him, he gritted his teeth and turned around and walked towards Xue Wanche's camp.

Yan Yun hasn't started yet, but I can't help but think of a way to do it!

Dugu Zhen told himself that he was only afraid that when he arrived in Liaoshui, Yan Yun would be the first to kill himself, and he would strike first, this is an eternal truth!

I just don't know if Xue Wanche will agree.

As he walked, he was thinking about how to talk to Xue Wanche, when he suddenly heard someone in front of him say, "Continue your work!" I was about to go looking for you! ”

As soon as he looked up, he saw Xue Wanche looking at him with a solemn face.
