The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 873
To be honest, Ma Zhou was not optimistic about the attack on Anshi City. The result of Yang Wanchun's argument with Quan Gai Suwen was there. Quan Gai Suwen couldn't deal with Yang Wanchun, which was enough to show that Yang Wanchun was not easy. Although personal factors play a limited role on the battlefield, don't forget that Tang Jun is already at a very disadvantaged situation.

I have stayed in Liaodong for more than three months. Food and grass supply is a problem that can be solved, but what about the morale of the army?After a long time, if you can't attack for a long time, the sergeants in the army will lose their minds.

It's almost the first day, and I'm afraid I can't go back to the year before.

"This shoal in Liaoshui is indeed the only way for the army to retreat. What does the Marquis think?" Ma Zhou raised his head and looked at Xuan Shijing.

"I do have an idea." Xuan Shijing pursed his lips and continued, "I'm going to Yingzhou to transport food and supplies, and I must pass through the shoal of the Liaoshui River. When I get there, Master Ma will take 2 people to Yingzhou first. I took the rest of the people and stationed on the banks of the Liaoshui River, felling trees and building earth hills to prepare for the return of the army.

When the army marches, it is common practice for the Yushan Mountain to be opened and filled with water. When the army troops return to the court, the shoal of the Liaoshui River will definitely become a swamp. This swamp has existed for many years. The army is bound to sink in.

What Xuan Shijing was afraid of was that the army would be attacked by the enemy when it was crossing the river. If so, the army would become meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered.

"It's possible." Ma Zhou thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Taking people to fill the river bank of the Liao River was not something Xuan Shijing came up with in his head, but he remembered that in the past, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo and attacked Anshicheng. thing.

I have an impression of this because I occasionally saw country H writing history saying that Li Shimin was blinded by an arrow in this battle and knelt down to Yang Wanchun.

Xuan Shijing didn't know whether the arrangement he suggested to Li Chengqian to make in Liaodong in advance was correct, because if it was normal, after winter, the army's supplies would be unsustainable, so they could only retreat from Liaodong, but now, it's winter so For a long time, although the army did not carry a lot of supplies with the army, the advantage lies in the continuous supply. In addition, with the two cities of Beisha City and Jian'an City as their strongholds, they have hoarded a lot of food.

During autumn and autumn harvest, Li Daozong took people around to beat the autumn wind, which made the Goguryeo people in the entire Liaodong Peninsula miserable, but it fattened Tang Jun.

Because of these changes, even in the severe cold, if the army had no other actions, they could still eat and drink enough in the camp, and they could bask in the afternoon sun after training.

"In that case, Lord Ma, let's act as soon as possible. The sooner these soldiers are taken away, the sooner His Majesty will be at ease." Xuan Shijing got up and said.

"Exactly, since this is the case, Xuanhou, how about sending troops tomorrow morning and setting off at noon?" Ma Zhou suggested.

"Okay." Xuan Shijing agreed.

Leaving Ma Zhou's camp, Xuan Shijing quickly returned to the vanguard camp. To manage the [-] surrendered troops, Ma Zhou and himself alone would not be able to do it. Two hundred vanguard battalion soldiers must be brought with them. If something happens at that time, among other things, you must save your own life and Ma Zhou's life, so that you can survive. These surrendered troops are nothing more than chickens and dogs to Datang's army.

"All gather." After entering the camp, Xuan Shijing said to the soldiers at the gate of the camp.

The mansion soldier got Xuan Shijing's order, and ran all the way into the camp, shouting loudly while running: "Master Hou has an order, assemble quickly!"

After shouting three times in a row, when Xuan Shijing walked to the platform in front of the training ground of the camp, the soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion had already assembled.

"Your Majesty has an order to let Ben Hou accept the [-] surrendered troops from Goguryeo, and take them away from Anshi City. Except for Xue Li, everyone in the vanguard camp will go with Ben Hou!" Xuan Shijing glanced at the people below: "Tomorrow Yinshi, clean up Good bags are gathered here, do you understand?"

"understand!"

"Okay, disband!" Xuan Shijing waved his hand to signal that all those standing below can disband.

When Xuan Shijing was standing on the stage and talking, Xue Rengui was also standing below, side by side with Shi Hu and Chang Le. When Xuan Shijing said that the entire vanguard battalion had excluded him, he was very puzzled. Doubts remained, anyway, there was a chance to ask.

As soon as the army troops below disbanded, Xue Rengui immediately caught up with Xuan Shijing.

Seeing this, Xuan Shijing greeted Xue Rengui to the camp.

"Master Hou." Xue Rengui stood behind Xuan Shijing with a look of inquiry.

Xuan Shijing turned around and looked at Xue Rengui: "I want to ask why you are not allowed to come with me?"

Xue Rengui nodded: "Now the last general is also a member of the Pioneer Battalion, isn't he?"

"Yes, of course." Xuan Shijing stepped forward with a smile, reached out and patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder: "Brother Xue has been in the army for some years."

I don't know why Xuan Shijing suddenly mentioned this, but Xue Rengui replied honestly: "Well, I don't remember clearly. As soon as I came out of my hometown, I went straight to the military camp. It's been so long in the blink of an eye."

"Boys should bring Wu hook and collect the fifty states of Guanshan. This Marquis won't let you go with me to see and send off those surrendered troops. It's because it's a common job. You're overqualified by following me. Ben Hou has already recommended it to His Majesty. You, it's time for you to really stand out, make contributions, become a marquis and a general, don't let this marquis down." Xuan Shijing said.

Although without him, Xue Rengui's talent will eventually be displayed in front of the world, but since he has this talent, why let others take so many meaningless detours?
Xuan Shijing did this, and he also made friends with Xue Rengui. In the future, no matter what, Xue Rengui owed Xuan Shijing a favor. If there is a favor, this will become a relationship, and he can't always rely on his father's legacy, right? .

"Master Hou. This." Xue Rengui was a little unbelievable, didn't the happiness come a little too suddenly.

Although Huan Chuan occasionally lamented that his talents were underappreciated, but the sudden change was too fast, and he was really uncomfortable.

"Don't talk too much about hypocrisy. Do it well. You are worthy of Tang and I am so optimistic about you." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "Your Majesty is a person who cherishes talents. With your ability, it will be a matter of time before you get ahead. Thing, maybe in the future when Ben Hou sees you, he will have to bow his hands and say "General Xue En."

"Don't dare, thank you Lord Hou!" Xue Rengui bowed to Xuan Shijing.As for saying what to say about the blood general, it's just a joke.
