Chapter 373: The Kindness of a Woman
Xuan Shijing used his military camp as bait and set up camp ten miles downstream of his camp, attracting all their eyes to himself, so that they no longer paid attention to the water of the Datong River.
Even if the river flooded and flooded their military camp, Xuan Shijing's camp would not be able to escape.
"Master Hou, our camp is downstream of them, so ......."
"Ben Hou knows that Ben Hou is going to use the camp of 60,000 troops as bait, understand?" Xuan Shijing said: "The camp can be wanted, but the lives of the soldiers, Ben Hou will not let them die in vain, Ben Hou knows it." ”
The camp can be not, just like Xuan Shijing did before when he dealt with the night attack, throw away the camp and use the entire camp as bait, and the same is true this time.
The army camped, although it will cost a lot of materials, but a little dead thing, can not be compared with the living, Xuan Shijing is clear, can afford to put down, for these things, he is not distressed, but the death and injury of the soldiers is different, they are all living people, dead one, that is a family, Xuan Shijing will be distressed.
During the march, Gao Huanquan rode a horse to Xuan Shijing's side.
"Xuanhou." Gao Huanquan looked at Xuan Shijing.
"General Gao, what's wrong?" Xuan Shijing turned his head and saw Gao Huanquan, whose face was not very good, could it be that he was still calculating how to kill the spring boy?
"Xuanhou, I have something I want to ask." Gao Huanquan said: "After this battle, how many Goguryeo people will be left?" ”
Xuan Shijing was stunned, he didn't expect Gao Huanquan to ask this question.
Xuan Shijing's water meter is too vicious, this season, the river water of the Datong River is the most abundant, the upstream intercepts the flow, builds a high dam, once the high dam blows up, the water flow is turbulent, goes straight downstream, and rushes the camp of the two armies with the momentum of thunder.
It's okay to say that the camp here of the Tang Army is a disguise, and the soldiers here are all prepared, and they won't lose much, but what about the 120,000 troops? How many people can survive such floods?
Although it is an enemy army, but they are all Goguryeo people, and they are all young and strong in Goguryeo, originally fought with the Tang Dynasty, three years ago Goguryeo gas has been exhausted by most of the number, and most of the domestic young people died on the battlefield, after the Tang army withdrew, Daxing City and several important towns in the north of Goguryeo were forcibly requisitioned and conscripted, and cities were built in the north to resist the Tang army, and the people in Goguryeo were miserable.
And now, the 150,000 troops in Pozhuo City, plus the defenders in Pyongyang, are already the last bit of combat strength of Goguryeo. Less than 60,000.
And now 120,000 young and strong, a plan of Xuan Shijing, it is possible that all of them will die on this battlefield, Xuan Shijing feels sorry for the Tang army, and Gao Huanquan also feels sorry for the Goguryeo people, although he wants revenge, but he is still a Goguryeo, and the blood of the Gao royal family flows in his body.
"If General Gao asks how many people will be killed and injured in this battle, Ben Hou doesn't know, once nature is powerful, no one can resist, this time to use the power of nature, it is also a helpless move, although we say that we claim to be 60,000 troops, but General Gao knows, where are there 60,000 people in our army? Strictly calculated, the 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers led by General Gao, what is the combat effectiveness, there is no need to say more, against the 120,000 army, either you die or I live, they will not be soft on us because the general is a Goguryeo, and they will not be soft on us because there are 30,000 soldiers in the army who are Goguryeo, this is the battlefield, you fight to the death, General Gao should look away. Xuan Shijing persuaded and said: "Seeing that after this battle, we will join the army to Pyongyang City, and success or failure is here for a while, General Gao, victory is just around the corner, don't have the kindness of a woman." ”
"I understand this truth, but after all, they are all the people of Goguryeo, and these young men died on the battlefield, and the future Goguryeo ......." Gao Huanquan sighed.
"On this march, there is nothing to do, Ben Hou and General Gao will talk about the King of Rongliu." Xuan Shijing said.
"My father?" Gao Huanquan was curious, if he knew about King Rongliu, who else could know more deeply than him, the former crown prince of Rongliu? After all, it is father and son, what does Xuan Shijing have to say to himself?
"In the past, King Rongliu competed for power with Quangai Suwen, and King Rongliu was on the throne of Goguryeo, and he had the power to kill and kill in his palm, and Quangai Suwen was once forced by King Rongliu to only hand over part of his rights, stoop to live in the north, and supervise the construction of the Great Wall in the north, but why in the end, Quangai Suwen was able to successfully kill King Rongliu and take charge of Goguryeo?" Xuan Shijing looked at Gao Huanquan and asked.
"Quangai Suwen wolf ambition, supervising the construction of the Great Wall in the north, flattering on the surface, secretly planning to do something rebellious, and his father was also less vigilant for a while, so he was killed by the chaotic minister and thief." Gao Huanquan said.
"Knowing that he has a strong enemy in the north, but he is on guard from time to time, when Quan Gai Suwen proposed to inspect the soldiers and horses, he went unsuspectingly, and the result? The courtiers present were served by Quangai Suwen. Xuan Shijing said: "Since you wanted to get rid of Quan Gai Suwen at the beginning, you just did it, why do you want to convene the ministers to discuss?" The more people there are, the easier it is to leak the news, and it is precisely because of this that Quangai Suwen learned in advance that your father was going to get rid of him, so he started to do it, to put it bluntly, your father's death was also in his own hands, and he died in the benevolence of his woman, so ah, you must not follow your father's old path, now the whole Goguryeo knows that you Gao Huanquan is a person from the Tang Dynasty, do you think, no matter how much you think about them, they will accept your affection? In the future, even if you return to Goguryeo and return to Pyongyang City, there is still a Gozang in Pyongyang City, although it was pushed up by Quangai Suwen, but he is now also the treasure king of Goguryeo, and when the Tang army attacked Goguryeo, he also led the people to resist our so-called foreign enemies, one is the king who resists foreign enemies, and the other is the former crown prince who defected to the enemy, who will they choose? ”
Gao Huanquan sat on horseback and was silent.
The army was moving towards the Datong River, and there was no other movement except for the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps, and the atmosphere in the entire army was very dull.
After Gao Huanquan said goodbye to Xuan Shijing, he rode back to his subordinates, and Chang Le rode a horse to catch up from behind.
"Master Hou, now that Gao Huanquan is like this, we will face the 120,000 army, will there be a problem in our own camp." Chang Le asked.
"Do you need to ask? Definitely. Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
"If you go outside, you must first settle inside, Master Hou, before you arrive at your destination, your subordinates will find a way to ....... Gao Huanquan" Chang Le whispered, and then made a movement to wipe his neck.
