The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 830 Retreat Without Fighting
"I'm going out now, have people seal off the surrounding area, and catch this assassin." A school captain said.

"No need, people probably ran away long ago." The lieutenant said, "Damn it, I was so focused on the general at the time, I didn't find out why the carpet in the big tent stood behind the weapon rack. The most important thing right now is not Instead of chasing after the invisible assassin, think about how to deal with the affairs in the army, the general is dead, should we still camp in front of Beisha City, or return to Anshi City, how to explain to the general.”

"Yes." Hearing the captain's words, everyone responded one after another.

This lieutenant general is a close confidant of General Yang Wanchun, who died in Beisha City, how should he explain this to the general.
When Chang Le came to the meeting point, the two people who came together had been waiting for a long time, and they were relieved to see Chang Le.

"Master Chang, why did you come back so late? We thought something happened to you."

"Yes."

Chang Le waved his hand, indicating that the two of them are fine: "Let's go back to Beisha City first."

After finishing speaking, the three of them ran towards the horse, and then rode back to Beisha City.

Throughout the night, Goguryeo's barracks were brightly lit, or in other words, it would be better if the lights were soaring into the sky.

When the food and siege equipment are burned, even if there are many soldiers in the barracks, the fire cannot be extinguished for a while. When the fire is completely extinguished, what is left is only a pile of ashes. , or a siege engine.

Food and grass cannot be eaten, and siege equipment cannot be used.

"The current plan is that the army has no food and grass, and they can't last a day in Beisha City. The matter of food, grass and siege equipment can't be hidden from the eyes of everyone. Now we can only hide the news of the general's death. Be mourned, and return to Anshi City immediately."

In the big tent in the Goguryeo military camp, several school lieutenants gathered together to make a total calculation. It is not a problem to be stalemate outside Beisha City. Now they can only return to Anshi City and report everything truthfully to the general. What to do with the matter, at least there is someone who makes up his mind.

When Chang Le returned to Daobeisha City, Xuan Shijing was still resting in the mansion, and Chang Le was not in a hurry to go to Xuan Shijing to say that the deputy general of Goguryeo had been killed by himself, so he sat on the city wall and looked at the mess in the distance. Goguryeo military camp, waiting until dawn.

After dawn, Xuan Shijing must have walked around the long wall after finishing packing.

"Master Hou."

At dawn, sure enough, Chang Le saw Xuan Shijing who had just walked up on the city wall.

"How was the result?" Xuan Shijing asked after seeing Chang Le.

Chang Le nodded, and said: "The food and siege equipment have been burned by the subordinates and others, and the Goguryeo lieutenant who led the army, his subordinates also killed him."

"Killed?" Xuan Shijing was surprised, he didn't expect Chang Le to perform supernormally last night, and there was a beheading action.

"That's right. When my subordinates and others arrived at the Goguryeo military camp, they found that the defense of the entire military camp was full of loopholes compared to the previous few days. Since I had the opportunity, my subordinates did it." Chang Le replied.

Xuan Shijing hurried to the edge of the city wall and looked towards the Goguryeo barracks, but found nothing unusual, nor did the leader of the first army die, and the whole army looked like nothing.

"What's going on?" Xuan Shijing was puzzled. It stands to reason that the general of the army is dead, so there must be some movement, right?
"What's the matter, Lord Hou?" Seeing Xuan Shijing like this, Chang Le was a little puzzled, shouldn't it be a good thing that the other party's general died?In this way, Beisha City can live in peace.

"Something's wrong, Chang Le, when you left yesterday, what happened to the military camp in Goguryeo?" Xuan Shijing turned around and asked Chang Le.

Chang Le shook his head: "After assassinating the general, I hid in the military tent and was almost discovered. Later, a school lieutenant came in, and after finding out that the general was dead, he withdrew and asked someone to guard him outside the tent. , I secretly changed the armor of Goguryeo soldiers, so I got out."

Chang Le told Xuan Shijing everything that happened to him at that time.

"So." Xuan Shijing touched his chin and thought, "There is nothing abnormal in the Goguryeo barracks except for the big fire last night. I suspect that someone in the barracks kept the news of the death of the lieutenant general hidden. For mourning, now you have burned all their food and grass, and the rest have no other choice but to evacuate Beisha City and return to Anshi City."

"Isn't this good? In this way, we don't have to be scared all the time in Beisha City." Chang Le said.

"It's a good thing, but I feel a little unwilling to let them go like this." Xuan Shijing smiled: "After so many days of careful planning and calculation, I found out in the end that it was so easy to let them go back."

"Then what does Lord Hou want to do?" Chang Le asked.Thinking about what Lord Hou said carefully, it was true, but with 7000 people, this piece of meat was too big, and the defenders of Beisha City couldn't eat it at all.

"Send out scouts to keep an eye on the movements of the [-] troops, and report back immediately if they find out that they are going back to Beisha City." Xuan Shijing ordered.

"Yes." Chang Le replied.

After strolling around the top of the city, Xuan Shijing went down the city wall and returned to the government office. The topographic map of the Liaodong Peninsula was still placed on the table in the hall of the government office. Xuan Shijing had been facing the topographic map repeatedly. Read it several times.

"Come here." Xuan Shijing called outside the hall.

"Master Hou, what are your orders?" A mansion soldier walked into the hall.

"Order Zhou Ji to go to the vicinity of Anshi City immediately, find a way to find Lord Zhang Jian's troops, and tell him the situation in Beisha City. He doesn't have to worry about defending the city, but these 7000 people will return to Anshi City. Not letting them go back depends entirely on Master Zhang Jian's will." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes." The mansion soldier retreated in response.

Xuan Shijing looked outside the door. With such a big mouthful of fat, Zhang Jian would be tempted no matter what. After all, he has been guarding against Anshicheng. When the battle started, his place was the calmest. Going to the battlefield means that there is no credit. Just giving this favor directly to Zhang Jian is considered a credit to Zhang Jian's army.

And Xuan Shijing also told Zhang Jian bluntly that the 7000-man team and the 1000 defenders in Beisha City had too many goals to eat.

When it comes to being a human being, we must also pay attention to a method.

"Report!!!" There was a burst of shouting from outside the door, and then a scout ran all the way into the hall of the government office: "Report to Lord Hou, the Goguryeo army stationed outside the city has already begun to move out."

"Great!" Xuan Shijing slapped the desk with a palm.
