The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 872
Although Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers under their hands have become a serious problem for His Majesty Li Er now. I am afraid that the [-] surrendered troops will come into contact with the Goguryeo soldiers in Anshi City. Therefore, His Majesty Li Er simply threw these people to Xuan Shijing and asked him to take them away, far away.

"With Lord Ma Zhou around, I feel relieved." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

With Ma Zhou around, if something goes wrong, someone will take the blame. Who made Ma Zhou higher than Xuan Shijing in terms of qualifications and experience?If anyone wants to criticize Xuan Shijing, they have to get past Ma Zhou first.

What official position is Ma Zhou now?Zhongshu Sheren, the emperor's close minister, "Because his land is close to the hub, he receives many favors and appointments, so he can secure his position, which is called the Phoenix Pond."

Ma Zhou is the phoenix in the Phoenix Pond. Although he was born in a poor family, he still has to weigh it if he wants to offend Ma Zhou.

"Although there is Ma Zhou by my side, I don't want you to slack off. These surrenders are also of great importance. I will trust you to entrust them to you. Don't let down my trust in you."

"Yes." Xuan Shijing responded, and said, "Your Majesty, I left Anshi City with these surrendered troops. Before leaving, I will recommend a general to you. I think you have seen it before. It is the sharpshooter Xue Rengui outside Liaodong City."

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "Well, he is a good seedling, I have some impressions."

His Majesty Li Er's current impression of Xue Rengui is only on the arrow outside Liaodong City. As a general with outstanding military strength, he was recommended to His Majesty Li Er, but he was recommended by Shuai.

"The minister intends to let Xue Rengui stay in the army, and I ask His Majesty for permission." Xuan Shijing cupped his hands and said.

"That's right, it's true that such a talent is wronged by you." His Majesty Li Er smiled: "I really don't know how people in the former army did things. Such a person didn't even let him eat enough." .”

"In this way, I can rest assured, Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will go to Lord Ma Zhou."

"Go ahead and fix the itinerary as soon as possible." His Majesty Li Er instructed.

"Yes."

For recommending Xue Rengui to His Majesty Li Er, Xuan Shijing is worthy of this famous general. According to Xue Rengui's ability, it is not difficult to gradually show his prominence in front of His Majesty Li Er.

As for leading the [-] Goguryeo troops to surrender, Xuan Shijing thought of another plan.

There are many tents in the army camp, and the army is subdivided into many camps, and the gaps between them are also exquisite. From the perspective of military tactics, it is called an array, and the arrangement of the army's tents is used as an array.

After wandering through the camp for a while, Xuan Shi found Ma Zhou's camp.

After letting the sergeant guarding the door in to report, Xuan Shijing entered the tent.

"Xuanhou? A rare visitor." Ma Zhou saw Xuan Shijing and got up to greet him.

Ma Zhou was born in a humble family, but if he was only talented, he would never have reached this position. There are many talented people, but not all of them are suitable for officialdom, especially when dealing with various forces in the court.

"Lord Ma." Xuan Shijing cupped his hands and saluted: "A certain just came out of His Majesty's tent, did Lord Ma hear what His Majesty said?"

Ma Zhou nodded when he heard the words: "Well, I already know about it. Your Majesty asked me to assist Xuanhou in managing the [-] surrendered troops in Goguryeo. If there is any need, just let the Marquis know."

"After all, the experience is still inexperienced, and I still need Master Ma's advice. I came to visit Master Ma this time, just to hear if Master Ma has any good ideas." Xuan Shijing said.

"That's it, Lord Hou, please sit here." Ma Zhou beckoned Xuan Shijing to sit beside the desk, while he himself sat opposite Xuan Shijing.

"Xuanhou, the first thing we need to solve is how to communicate with those Goguryeo soldiers." Ma Zhou said.

The army is full of soldiers from Guanzhong who are rooted in Zhengmiaohong. They can speak Goguryeo, and even dozens of slaps can't get one or two.

"It doesn't matter. A certain man has two of them. They were brought over from Beisha City. They have lived in Beisha City for decades. The soldiers of the former Sui Dynasty can be trusted. They can speak Goguryeo. Before that in Beisha City, they all relied on They have survived such a long time safely." Xuan Shijing laughed and said, "Besides, we can also bring Gao Huanquan with us."

In terms of prestige in the Goguryeo army, although Gao Huanquan is a proton, it is more important than the status of outsiders like Xuan Shijing.

As for Gao Huanquan, Xuan Shijing used it as a mascot. The mascot of the [-] Goguryeo surrendered troops, with Gao Huanquan, the [-] surrendered troops would not easily cause any troubles.

"Great kindness." Hearing Xuan Shijing's proposal, Ma Zhou also knew the joints, and couldn't help but praise: "With the guise of Gao Huanquan, it is much more convenient to do things, and you don't have to worry about management issues. The rest is Thinking about what to do with these people." Ma Zhou stroked his short beard and thought, "In my opinion, the cold winter has come and the supply of food and grass in the army is gradually showing its shortcomings, so it's better to bring these Goguryeo soldiers to the army. Escorting food and supplies, from Yingzhou to Liaodong City, the logistics of food and grass are guaranteed, and it is also an invisible pressure for Anshicheng."

Ma Zhou proposed that these people go to escort the grain and grass, which was already the most appropriate way, but Xuan Shijing obviously had a new idea after seeing the map on Ma Zhou's desk.

"My lord, please look here." Xuan Shijing stretched out his finger on the map.

"Liaoshui?" Ma Zhou was puzzled, looking at what Liaoshui was doing.
"Xuanhou, the Liaoshui River is now frozen, it's freezing, and it's unstoppable," Ma Zhou said.

"How long does Master Ma think it will take to conquer Anshicheng?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"It's half a month soon, if it's slow." Ma Zhou said here, his tone began to hesitate. Everyone knows the situation of Anshicheng. No one dares to take how long it will take and whether they can take Anshicheng. explain.

"By the time the army's squadron returns to the court, I'm afraid it will already be warm and the flowers are blooming. Although the climate in Liaodong is not as good as that in the pass, the place where the Liaoshui shoal marches will definitely be a swamp." Xuan Shijing said.

"Xuanhou is trying to clear the way for the army to retreat?" Ma Zhou looked at Xuan Shijing with a questioning look.

"You can't use so many people to transport food and grass, can you?" Xuan Shijing laughed.

Ma Zhou stroked his beard and thought about whether what Xuan Shijing planned was really useful to the army instead of useless. His eyes fell on the location of Liaoshui on the map, and his thoughts slowly sank.
