The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1238 Give a small profit, there will be a big gain

"It's okay." Xuan Shijing waved his hand: "Now that something happened to Gao Huanquan, the [-] Goguryeo soldiers have to blow up the nest?" Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "When we reach the lower reaches of the Datong River, the five hundred you brought us The government soldiers, plus five hundred Liaodong soldiers, took all the gunpowder, went upstream, and began to build dams to cut off the water flow, and I sat in the downstream barracks, waiting for the signal."

"Master Hou, if Fang Shu leads someone to handle this matter, it's safer for the subordinates to stay by your side." Chang Le said.

"Go ahead and let Fang Shu stay with me. As for the [-] Goguryeo soldiers and Gao Huanquan, after this battle, there may be nothing left." Xuan Shijing said indifferently.

Xuan Shijing has observed Gao Huanquan and his tribe for the past two days, and it turns out that people who are not my tribe must have a different heart, and such people cannot be kept.

Not to mention that Xuan Shijing was displeased by Gao Huanquan contradicting Xuan Shijing and wanting to attack the boys from Quan, just now Gao Huanquan came to ask Xuan Shijing that question, in fact, he still wanted to keep the 12 troops in his heart.

But where in the world is there such a good thing, to save his tribe, Datang will still win this victory.

Xuan Shijing led [-] soldiers, [-] Goguryeo soldiers, and sent envoys to tell people: "You surrender, we will not kill you after you surrender." This would be regarded as hysteria by others, right?
There are only [-] soldiers and horses in the area, and they dare to talk nonsense when fighting on the plains.

Now Gao Huanquan's mind began to waver. This was a time bomb for Tang Jun. After Gao Huanquan left just now, Xuan Shijing made up his mind to get rid of Gao Huanquan and his troops before going to Pyongyang City.

Datang raised them for three years, and now it's time for them to give back to Datang. As a soldier, what better glory than dying in battle?
In this war, how many of the [-] Goguryeo soldiers can survive depends on fate and luck.

Xuan Shijing stationed the camp at the lower reaches of the Datong River. There must be a large army in the camp at all times, so that the opponent's scouts can find out and report back, so that they will not suspect what Tang Jun is doing upstream of them. ghost.

The job of staying in the camp was left to Gao Huanquan.

It's not that there is no better way, it's just that Gao Huanquan committed suicide and Xuan Shijing fulfilled him.

Chang Le took the battle letter written by Xuan Shijing himself and rode a fast horse to the Datong River case first, and went to the enemy camp to meet their commander. If the two sides do not move their swords, the Tang army can make a concession and station the camp ten miles downstream of them as a condition for a battle.

Tang Jun placed his camp in a territory controlled by 12 troops. This is the condition Tang Jun paid for keeping his promise.

For the enemy army, the condition offered by Xuan Shijing is too tempting. If there is an upright decisive battle, the 12 troops will not be afraid of Xuan Shijing who only has 6 people.

And Tang Jun's camp is right under his nose, so he is not afraid of their tricks.

For specific matters, Xuan Shijing let Chang Le talk to them, as long as the main purpose can be achieved, the rest is not a big deal.

What Xuan Shijing needs is to win ten days of peace, to buy time for those upstream who intercept the flow of the Taedong River.

Three days later, Xuan Shijing arrived near the Datong River. From a distance, he could see the camp of the 12 troops stretching along the river, which was truly spectacular.

During these three days, Chang Le has been in the enemy's camp, being entertained with delicious food and drinks, everything has been settled, and Chang Le will reply the news to Xuan Shijing after the arrival of the Tang army.

Xuan Shijing's army appeared near the Datong River, and the opponent's scouts had already heard it. After reporting the news, Chang Le could leave the camp.

Chang Le rode a fast horse to Xuan Shijing. In front of Chang Le was a seven or eight-year-old child.

"Master Hou, it's all settled. They agree with Master Hou's proposal. As long as Master Hou camps ten miles downstream from their camp, they agree to a decisive battle in seven days." Chang Le said: "During these seven days, the two sides will not Use your swords, and you will be safe."

"What if they don't keep their promise?" Xuan Shijing asked, "Who is this child?"

"Back to Lord Hou, this is the son of the other general. If they don't keep their promise, the child's life will be lost. This is the bargaining chip that the subordinates are fighting for." Chang Le said: "But in On the sixth night, the subordinates must personally send the child to their camp."

This is also reasonable, lest Tang Jun take the child as a threat during the war
"It seems that the commander-in-chief of the other party is not an ordinary person, even his own child can be used as a bargaining chip." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "It can be seen that they have the belief that they will win this battle, Chang Le, this child is Put it on your side to take care of it, but then again, is this child worth money?"

If the other party sacrificed a child in exchange for victory in this war, it is not impossible. After all, this war is related to the ownership of a large area of ​​territory from the north of Goguryeo Pyongyang City to the Dahang City.

If a child can be exchanged for the annihilation of the Tang army's northern army and the recovery of lost ground, it will be profitable, but the loss of the other commander is just a son.

Chang Le approached Xuan Shijing and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, it is very valuable! The guard's family members are all in Bozhuo City, and now Bozhuo City is in our hands. There is only such a child beside him. I want to bring out knowledge and experience, and cultivate it by my side.”

"Hehe? Didn't we make a profit?" Xuan Shijing laughed loudly: "By the way, did you tell him about Bozhuo City?"

"After the child was coming, the subordinate said, reminding him to abide by the agreement, otherwise, he will really lose his children and grandchildren." Chang Le said: "You didn't see it, after he heard that Bozhuo City was gone, , his face turned green, and the subordinate reckoned, if the subordinate didn't say anything, he really didn't intend to have his son."

"You're smart." Xuan Shijing praised: "Command the army to set up camp downstream!"

The army marched to the lower reaches of the Datong River and began to set up camp.

"Chang Le, I will take people out of the camp tonight." Xuan Shijing looked at the scene in full swing in the camp, and quietly said to Chang Le: "Call me Fang Shu."

"Yes." Chang Le responded.

Not long after, Fang Shu came to Xuan Shijing.

"The last general, Fang Shu, will see Lord Hou." Fang Shu cupped his hands and saluted.

"Excuse me, from today onwards, you will listen to this Marquis for the time being." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes!"

"Now send 2000 people to log in the woods two miles away. The more the better, tell the people below that we are facing an army of 12 upstream, and the camp must be made stronger." Xuan Shijing said.
