Outside the city of Liaodong, the sun is shining

The soldiers of the Sui Army, who were disheveled and tired, followed the listless military flags, and walked over slowly and weakly.

Tens of thousands of Sui army logistics personnel outside the city who had already received the news enthusiastically took the initiative to greet them.

Affected by the tragic murderous aura and heavy depression of the officers and men of the Sui army on the expedition, all of them turned pale and weak, and made a lot of jokes to ease the solemn atmosphere a little.

Of the more than 300,000 expeditionary Sui troops, less than one-third were able to come back safely!

In other words, the Sui army of the expedition lost as many as 200,000 men and horses!

This, not counting the number of soldiers and civilians who lost them, added up to the losses of the expeditionary Sui army to more than 500,000!

Such a loss is that the Great Sui, which has just experienced the 30 years of prosperity of the emperor, and the strong national strength cannot bear it.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was furious when he heard the report, and he had always been very happy to see face more than anything else, and he couldn't wait to kill all the generals of the expeditionary Sui army in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Of course, this is just a matter of thinking about it.

Even if Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was stubborn and self-serving, he didn't have the courage to kill most of his subordinates. If he really wants to act so crazy, I am afraid that his emperor throne will not be able to sit steadily.

This expedition to the Sui army is a general, but behind him is implicated in the two major political groups of the Guan Long family and the Shandong family, that is, Yang Guang wants to move them, they have to be careful and careful, not to mention that now is the time when the army is newly defeated, it is the time when the army's morale is low, if you kill the general, it will be a mess.

Despite the indignation in his heart, Yang Guang could only forcibly suppress a sulk.

……

The camp of Jing Yuanheng, the general of the Sui Army's Zuo Xiaowei, although the morale was also low, the military spirit was still stable.

Just set up camp near the Liao River, Jing Yuanheng and the general of Ying Yang in the army are above the generals. Before he had time to take a breath, he was recruited by Emperor Yang Guang of Sui.

Due to the considerable losses of the various troops, the atmosphere in the barracks was depressing, and there was a depressing atmosphere unique to the defeated army, but this did not include an area in the corner of the camp.

Unlike the surrounding robes, which were demoralized and depressed, there were no less than 20,000 people gathered in the camp here. But all of them were calm and even slightly excited, but the atmosphere of the whole camp was too dull, and they didn't want to be too eye-catching.

In one of the camps, several school officials were dressed as rough men, and they were all full of laughter, and it was not Lin Sha or who was sitting in the position.

"Lin Shalangjun, we have made a great contribution this time, I don't know how Your Majesty will reward you?"

He Dalang opened his chest as if he was happy, and asked with great interest with the water and wine that he had finally obtained.

This is the beginning of the conversation. Suddenly, the eyes of a middle- and low-level officer in the tent lit up, and their faces were excited and excited, and under the encouragement of He Dalang, they all picked up their wine glasses and drank bitterly, although their voices were not very loud, but the atmosphere was warm and the mood was agitated.

They are all henchmen and brothers who followed Lin Sha in the Battle of the Sahe River, and one by one they have been tempered on the bloody and cruel battlefield, and they have passed through Lin Sha's relationship. Either rise from the lowest-ranking captain in the army, or simply come from the Minfu team like Lin Sha. They are all good men who are not tall but are extremely brave.

These people are all brothers in life and death who have been promoted by Lin Sha in the line of fire, and have experienced the test of blood and fire with honor and disgrace.

Because of their identity and background, or admiring Lin Sha's martial arts, or maybe for other reasons, in short, they naturally gathered around Lin Sha unnaturally, and soon formed a small circle of newly rising middle and low-level generals. Lin Sha is the well-deserved leader of this small circle!

"How much merit there is, Your Majesty will reward you with many great achievements!"

Seeing that his brothers still knew the proportions and did not get carried away and make too much noise, Lin Sha did not manage too leniently and let them do it, and said with a cold look on his face.

"With Lang Jun's military exploits. Maybe you will step into the ranks of eagle generals in one fell swoop! ”

Seeing that Lin Sha's expression was mediocre and careless, the generals were not surprised, they all knew that Lin Sha was a cold-hearted person, and there was a junior colonel in the army who raised his glass and said loudly.

"That's it, Lin Shalangjun is the first hero of this expedition!"

"In the future, Langjun will be developed, don't forget our brothers!"

"Lang Jun has a bright future in the future, let's follow Lang Jun and eat meat and drink soup!"

“……”

Seeing that someone opened their mouths and expressed their thoughts in their hearts, the atmosphere in the big tent was extremely warm, and all the low-level generals were full of red and excited, and they raised their glasses to congratulate in advance.

"Alright, you all take it easy!"

Seeing that the generals present were making a little unseemly, Lin Sha frowned lightly and spoke coldly.

It's like a head of cold water being poured on the head, and the originally warm atmosphere in the big tent is stagnant, and the generals look at each other and don't know what Lin Sha is doing, and the faces with poor temperament have become difficult to see.

"Don't you see what's going on out there?"

Gently putting down the wine glass, Lin Sha's eyes slowly glanced around with a cold look, and said in a deep voice: "This time, a certain Great Sui was defeated and lost, and less than 100,000 of the 300,000 horses came back alive in the end!" ”

He deliberately accentuated the number of 100,000, his eyes were as cold as lightning and made people shudder, and his voice was low and cold: "On the occasion of this big defeat, do you think Your Majesty will be in any good mood?" ”

The generals present immediately looked at each other, they were all newly promoted from the bottom, and what they did the most on weekdays was to laugh and play with their brothers, where did they know what the situation of the high-level generals and His Majesty the Emperor was, just take it for granted.

At this time, he was poured a basin of cold water on Lin Sha's head, and suddenly woke up from the state of ecstasy, and looked back and thought that what Lin Shalangjun said was indeed good, but the current situation was that the Sui army was defeated, and more than 300,000 elite troops lost more than 200,000 at once, so it is strange that His Majesty the Emperor can be in a good mood.

The so-called extreme things must be opposed, the generals here have no experience in this area, and when Lin Sha said a few words, he suddenly felt very uneasy in his heart, and he looked at each other and didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere in the camp tent suddenly became dull and depressed.

These guys!

Seeing his junior brother behaving like this, the atmosphere of the camp tent plummeted, Lin Shazhen couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart that he was just a little reminded to let the younger brothers not get carried away, and if they lost their sense of proportion, they would be unhappy with the senior generals, and it would be a lot of fun.

He didn't want to hit the morale of his junior brother, but he never expected his younger brother to react like this, and suddenly went from ecstasy to full of worry.

"Alright, don't be discouraged!"

Shaking his head, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, it is not a good thing that his little brother is too white. A pair of sharp eyes softened, and his face was still cold and said softly: "It should be our credit, but don't think about things that shouldn't be thought about!" ”

As he spoke, he deliberately accentuated his tone and said in a deep voice: "The current situation is unclear, what should be done and what should not be done, you must have a bottom in your heart, don't make a leak and harm others and yourself when the time comes!" ”

A military general straightened up and listened to the teachings, although a blank look flashed on his face from time to time, but he still honestly wrote down all what Lin Sha said, and when he had a chance to understand it slowly in the future.

"Don't worry, Lang Jun, you know in your heart that there will be no chaos!"

"That's it, this little bit of eye is still there!"

"Lang Jun rest assured, everything is up to Lang Jun!"

“……”

Seeing that his younger brother opened his mouth to express his position, the atmosphere in the camp tent became joyful, but it was no longer the previous ecstasy, Lin Sha nodded with satisfaction and greeted loudly with a wine glass: "I just want to remind you that your achievements in this battle are not small, and it is not a problem to be promoted and rewarded when the time comes." Since you trust a certain Lin Sha, you will not live up to everyone's friendship, come and toast! ”

"Cheers!"

……

Lin Sha and a group of younger brothers who had just gathered together were drinking and having fun in their own tents, and on the other side, the atmosphere in the temporary palace where Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was located was not the same.

The Sui army was defeated at the Sahe River, losing more than 200,000 elite men and horses, and the defeated army of Laihu'er who attacked Pyongyang from the waterway, the losses of the Sui army added up to more than 300,000!

Such a heavy loss is that Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, who has never regarded human life as a thing, and has recruited dozens or even millions of people to work on a large scale at every turn, feels painful and impetuous.

There was no need for his senior generals to report or anything, he knew in his heart that the expedition to Goguryeo had completely failed, and the key now was how to leave the battlefield of Liaodong safely and smoothly.

It really makes Yang Guang angry, in fact, he still has hundreds of thousands of troops at hand, and there is no shortage of food, grass and baggage, if he is ruthless, it is not that he cannot defeat the Goguryeo army.

But the problem is that Yang Guang didn't dare to make a slight move, and the hundreds of thousands of troops around him couldn't be easily mobilized, for fear that he would accidentally expose his flaws, giving the great master of Goguryeo Cailin an opportunity to take advantage of.

Although there are many guards around Yang Guang, especially the Demon Gate that strongly supported him at the beginning, and sent a lot of good guards to carry him, but the problem is that the strongest among them is only the level of a grandmaster, once he meets a great master like Fu Cailin, whether he can withstand it is very much said, Yang Guang doesn't want to joke with his own life.

Although Fu Cailin has not moved, the more this is the case, the more worried Yang Guang becomes, for fear that this is Fu Cailin's strategy to confuse the enemy, but Yang Guang does not dare to be careless.

After hearing that the general reported the specific losses of the Sui army on the expedition, Yang Guang's face was still dark despite his psychological preparations, and he was so angry that he threw everything he could fall, and took the opportunity to take a few tiger generals to attack hard.

Of course, as the emperor and the emperor who knows the affairs of the army, Yang Guang also knows that it is necessary to reward and punish in order to calm people's hearts, and it is not a good thing to blindly reprimand and punish the star, and this expedition to the Sui army is not useless, at least there is such a great hero as Lin Sha......
