Yuwen Shu rode his horse and crossed his sword, standing at the mountain pass of Qibao Mountain in the south of the Hamgyong Mountains, full of ambition, looking at the black pressure in front of him, like the ocean-like soldiers, who were taking the army as a unit, mixing infantry and horses, forming a huge phalanx, stretching forward on the endless plain in front of him, his face showed a smug look, slightly caressing his gray hair, and smiling.

Xin Shixiong had a flattering smile on his face, and his voice also revealed a taste of flattery, which made everyone except Yu Wenshu uncomfortable to hear: "Marshal, high, really high, if it weren't for your decisive order, abandon those heavy vehicles, and advance lightly, our army would not have been so fast, it only took twenty days to break through the mountains of these hundreds of miles, and the defenders and people of those Goguryeo cities didn't even have time to close the city gates to resist, so they became prisoners of our army. It's just that our army's action is too slow, and it will give the Goguryeo army an opportunity to organize resistance in this rugged and difficult northern mountainous area, but now it seems that all worries are superfluous. ”

Listening to Xin Shixiong's sycophancy, Yuwenshu is very useful, power alienates people, and then loses basic judgment, Yuwenshu and Yang Guang have the same problem, he stroked his long beard with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Goguryeo clown, how can you strike a blow from the heavenly soldiers?" General Laihu'er first defeated the Goguryeo army and beheaded Gao Jian, and later, although there were small setbacks in Pyongyang and failed to take it in one fell swoop, after all, it dragged the main force of the Goguryeo army. ”

"They never expected that our army would dare to march south and leap thousands of miles without taking Liaodong City. Unexpectedly, our army was lightly armed. That's why I didn't have time to draw troops to resist in this mountainous area. Now that our army has left the mountainous area and is in front of Pingchuan, the commander still hopes that the Goguryeo army will come to die, and it will save our army the trouble of besieging Pyongyang. Hahahaha. ”

The expressions of Yu Zhongwen and the others were still very serious, Xue Shixiong hesitated for a moment, and said: "Marshal Yuwen, the last general feels that something is wrong, maybe it's better to be careful." ”

Yu Wenshu's face sank suddenly. hooked the corners of his mouth and said coldly: "What's wrong?" Now that we have left the mountains, the rear of our army is unimpeded, and there are no Goguryeo ambushes behind, is it possible that the Goguryeo army or the heavenly soldiers will not succeed? ”

Xue Shixiong shook his head: "The last general can't say what's wrong, he just thinks that our army has been besieging Liaodong City for several months, but the Goguryeo people on the south bank don't seem to have any defense, even northern fortified cities like Huining City, the city gates are wide open, and they don't take precautions." This is really unreasonable, it is said that these places should be closed to resist. The progress of our army will never be so smooth, the most incredible thing is that the enemy army has not a single soldier in the mountains to resist, no matter how careless the Goguryeo people are, it is impossible to be so slack, do not set up a single soldier. ”

Yuwen Shu sneered: "That's because all the troops of Goguryeo have gone to deal with Laihu'er, but I'm afraid that now their hundreds of thousands of troops are besieging Laihu'er's beach camp, so naturally they can't divide troops to deal with us, besides, the king of Goguryeo and the eastern lord Yuan Taizuo have always been at odds, Liaodong City has been besieged for several months, and he doesn't send a single soldier to rescue, he is counting on Liaodong City to hold back our Great Sui army, so why bother to fortify here?" If you really want to take precautions, you will send troops to defend it as early as the south bank of Yalu Water, but from the beginning of Yalu Water, the other side has not a single soldier, is this still their plan to lure the enemy deeper? ”

Xue Shixiong was speechless, the sweat on his head was dripping, but he couldn't refute it.

Xin Shixiong said proudly: "That is, General Xue is too cautious, if it is said that the enemy army intends to lure our army deeper, it should also be set up in the mountains to set up an ambush and use the terrain to block layer by layer, but they have even given up the mountains, but they want to confront our army head-on on this plain, there will not be any Goguryeo general who is so stupid, is it, does Eulji Wende want to play an empty city plan again, open the gate of Pyongyang, lay an ambush, and lure our army into the city to attack?" Hahaha. ”

Some generals also laughed proudly with Xin Shixiong, Yu Wenshu was very proud in this laughter, looked at Yu Zhongwen, and said with a smile: "Deputy Marshal Yu, what do you think?" ”

Yu Zhongwen still looked serious, his eyes were blazing, and he said: "I would have thought that the Goguryeo people would not be so stupid, no matter how much they besieged Laihu'er, this gateway fortress in the northern mountains always had to be guarded, even if they didn't expect that our army would go south, but at least when Huining was breached, Pyongyang City should also receive a military report, at this time, even if we send 30,000 troops north to guard the mountain road around Yingchou Ling, our army will not pass through so easily, my opinion is similar to General Xue, I think there must be fraud in the middle, The handsome also needs to be careful. ”

Yuwen Shu said coldly: "Be careful, how can you be careful?" Do you stop and set up camp and wait for backup? Deputy Marshal Yu, don't forget, we are the main force of the Sui army, and it is impossible for His Majesty to send reinforcements over, if my 300,000 army can't destroy Goguryeo, then it is better to disarm and return to the field now, and there is no need to be embarrassed here, and there will be a disgrace to the king. ”

Yu Zhongwen's face became ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Marshal Yuwen, the general just wants us to be careful, now the front army is thirty miles away, the troops are in Sashui, and the Wei Xuan troops of the rear guard are still a hundred miles behind, now it is not a flat march, to pull out the momentum of thousands of miles, it is already a plain, there is a big river in front, and a mountain area in the back, our army should divide into multiple roads, cover each other, and camp and advance every day, so that there is no worry." ”

Yuwenshu said coldly: "The soldiers are very fast, now the Goguryeo people have not had time to respond to the rapid advance of our army, the front military report, there is no large force of Goguryeo army activities south of Sashui, if we don't take the opportunity to cross Sashui and go straight to the enemy capital, wait for the Goguryeo people to draw out more than 100,000 troops to hold the south of Sashui, then it will be difficult for us to cross the river!" General Yu, you haven't fought the battle of the Liaohe River, I don't know how troublesome this kind of forced crossing is, and now our army has not even brought a heavy car, let alone a pontoon bridge, so our army has no capital to delay. ”

Speaking of this, Yuwen Shu said in a deep voice: "The order, the forward troops Yuwen Chengdu Division, day and night, forcibly marched to cross the Sashui at a speed, and after crossing the river, set up a large camp on the south bank to hold on, and set up a pontoon bridge to meet the army to cross the river." When he said this, he didn't look at Yu Zhongwen, he whipped on the horse's buttocks, and his voice floated back from a distance: "The things here are bothered to be taken care of by the deputy marshal, and the marshal is going to the front line of Sashui!"
