Chapter 972: The Lonely Army Goes Deep, and the Center Blossoms

The herald with two small flags on his back said: "The squire of the criminal department, the tiger Benlang general Wang Shichong Wang took the supreme gold medal to see the general, saying that there is something important to discuss!" ”

Mai Tiezhu's face changed slightly, and he nodded instead: "I know, you must not slack off when you bring General Wang here." ”

The herald turned around and left, and Mai Tie Staff turned his head to the people around him and said, "You should also go down first, this general and General Wang have important matters to discuss, if there is any military order from the Supreme, this will inform you again." Withdraw the nearest guard to the post, and there will be no one within a radius of three hundred paces. ”

Everyone received the order and retreated, Fei Qingnu hesitated for a moment, and said, "General, do you still want to march at that speed of sixty miles as you just said?" ”

Mai Tiezhu said in a deep voice: "The order does not change, if there is a change, I will inform you, go down!" ”

Fei Qingnu gave a military salute and retreated cleanly, Mai Tiecane's brows furrowed tightly, and suddenly said to Mai Mengcai: "Mengcai, come here." ”

Mai Mengcai had already walked away for more than ten steps, and when he heard this, he was slightly stunned, turned back and said, "Father, what do you command?" ”

Mai Tiezhu whispered: "You take our family's subordinates, guard the post, and no one should put them up, and stay away so that no one can hear me and General Wang." ”

Mai Mengcai was suspicious: "Father, what are you doing so mysteriously?" ”

Mai Tiecane's black face was flat: "Do whatever you want to do, don't talk too much about children!" ”

Mai Mengcai stuck out his tongue and ran down the hill like a smoke. Mai Tiezhu's face gradually became gloomy, and he muttered to himself, "Xingman, what the hell do you want to do this time?" ”

Wang Shichong's laughter sounded from the post more than ten steps away: "Iron rod." Why is it that when I come to see you, brother, I will become a ghost? ”

Mai Tiezhu's face changed slightly, and he snorted heavily: "Don't say hello when you come, your Wang Xingman is becoming more and more unruly." ”

Wang Shichong smiled and said to the herald soldier beside him: "You go down, I have something to discuss with General Mai." ”

There were only two people left on the post, Wang Shichong and Mai Tiezhu, the corners of Mai Tiecan's mouth hooked, and he said in a deep voice: "It's full." This time you came to me, I'm afraid it didn't mean the Supreme. If you still imagine persuading me to do something sorry for Your Majesty and sorry for Da Sui when I was in Daxing. It's better to avoid opening your mouth. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Now that you have received Yang Guang's kindness, you can't wait to repay you with death, even if my brain is broken, it is impossible for me to persuade you to oppose Sui at this time." ”

Mai Tiezhu sneered: "It's good that you know, this time my Great Sui soldiers are strong and strong." Plenty of food and grass. The military appearance is neat, you have also seen it, to this day, do you still think that my Great Sui will lose, will you think that you can have a chance? As an old friend, I advise you to stop and turn back as soon as possible and enjoy your wealth and prosperity. With your ability and ability, Your Majesty now values you very much. I can't think of any reason why you would be a traitor! ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Lao Mai, since this journey, you really haven't seen the heavy corpses on both sides of the road, outside the embankment of the canal, and the new graves that can be seen?" Do you really think that the Great Sui is still in the reign of the first emperor, singing and dancing like that, and the sea is stable? ”

Mai Tiezhu shook his head: "My Mai Tiezhu is just a soldier, and you civilian officials are in charge of these things about governing the country and people's livelihood, don't tell me this, my subordinates are also conscripted people, their fighting spirit is very high, and they all want to make contributions to the army." It's not at all like you said, the world is about to be in chaos, and people are panicking. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Forget it, I know what I say to your Lao Mai, you won't believe it, this time I came, not to persuade you to make trouble, or to work out or anything, just as an old friend, I advise you to say a few words, pay attention to your own safety, don't put yourself in danger!" ”

Mai Tiezhu's face changed: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Wang Shichong looked at the queue that had accelerated the marching speed in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "When Yang Guang gave the order to the various armies, he said that the marching speed was forty miles every day, and the rear army set up the camp with the front army, right?" ”

Mai Tiezhu nodded: "That's right, but our army is the vanguard, and the Holy Lord also has an order to let our army be desperate and destroy the front, regardless of the cities along the way, and go straight to Liaodong City, this is also what you heard." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "There are still more than 3,000 miles away from Liaodong City, you start to speed up the march now, 60 to 80 miles a day, I am afraid that after crossing the Liao River, the fastest friendly army will be hundreds of miles away, and at that time, you will really become a lonely army!" ”

The corners of Mai Tiecane's mouth hooked: "A lone army is a lone army, put it to death and then live, put it to death and survive, my vanguard force is the elite of the whole army, even if there are only three armies, it is enough to sweep Liaodong, if you set up camp and fight steadily, it will only give the Goguryeo people time to prepare, and when they are fully mobilized, the difficulty of our army's combat will rise sharply." You have been a veteran for many years, and you won't not understand the truth that soldiers are fast. ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Lao Mai, your trick is to learn from the battle when I followed Shi Wansui to fight the Turks, the three thousand Xiaoguo elite soldiers played the vanguard, attracted the main Turkic force to besiege, and finally created a chance for Gao Servant to gather and annihilate." ”

Mai Tiezhu's face changed slightly: "This, how do you know this?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Lao Mai, we have been friends for so many years, brothers, don't I know your thoughts?" But as an old friend, we still have to remind you that this tactic will not work! ”

Mai Tiezhu's face sank: "Why can't it work?" ”

Wang Shichong looked at Mai Tiecane's face, and said in a deep voice: "The tactics of the year were planned by Gao Ying and Gao Servants, and at the beginning it was said that our 3,000 people were bait, and the generals led by them, General Shi, General Zhao and I all knew it, and even the soldiers knew this very well, so even when they were surrounded by the Turkic 100,000 iron cavalry, no one had a trace of panic, because from the generals to the soldiers, everyone was mentally prepared, the food, grass, bows and arrows were sufficient, and we seized a water source in advance, and it was not a problem to hold on for seven days." ”

"And the time that Gao Servant agreed with us is seven days at the latest, he knows our movements very well, knows where we march every day, so he follows unhurriedly, keeps a distance of more than three days, and clears out all the Turkic spies, so that he can suddenly appear in the rear of the Turkic army, from the Turks, it is naturally a big surprise, but for us, it is just acting according to the plan."
