A seemingly fierce mutiny quickly subsided under more intense suppression methods. The soldiers did not have much support for the rebellion of the children of the aristocratic families. As for their deaths, of course not many people would feel sad. On the contrary , when they learned that the rebels were quickly executed, the soldiers seemed to feel a little happy.

If Dugu Zhenquan knew it, when he knew that Li Xian took advantage of his situation to get rid of all restless factors, he wondered if he would have the feeling of dying.

In fact, from the very beginning, Dugu Zhen always wanted to hold the military power in his own hands. Unfortunately, soldiers tend to respect heroes from poor families more.He, a scion of a family who also killed people by the Sashui River, received far less respect than Li Xian.He has been forbearance all the time, and he is very humble in front of Li Xian. When he thought that the opportunity came, he didn't think that his opponent was actually waiting for an opportunity.

After eliminating those descendants of the aristocratic families, Li Xian arranged for his cronies to become low-level commanders like brigade captains.The reason why the team didn't move fast on the way back was that what Li Xian wanted was to firmly grasp the control of the team.He's waiting for an opportunity, and if it doesn't come, he makes it.

It seemed that everything was going smoothly, and he was comparing his speed with the army of the Great Sui Eastern Expedition.Of course, not faster than anyone else.What he had to wait for was the retreat of the Sui army due to the defeat of the expeditionary force and the cold weather.And his team must be slower than the Sui army's retreat.Coupled with the fact that he had already sent people to arrange by the Liaoshui River, only in this way can the team of more than 2 people follow him wholeheartedly.

But what Li Xian didn't expect was that his arrangement by the Liao River was useless at all.

Because the team had just been cleaned, Li Xian decided not to rush to fight the big Korean city fifty miles ahead.There is still enough food for more than ten days, so there is no need to rush to attack the enemy's big city.Li Xian had to let his cronies stabilize the team, and it took a few days for his subordinates to adapt to their new identities.

In order to calm down the soldiers, Li Xian ordered the troops to rest in place for a few days.

Unfolding the map, Li Xian pointed to the location of the big city fifty miles ahead and said, "After passing this big city, you can cross the Mazi River by walking two days. Although there is still enough food for ten days, the team After returning to Yanshan, there is no way to solve the problem of food. The food and grass in the Yanshan village cost nearly 3 people to eat and drink, and they couldn’t last for half a month. Therefore, this city of Goguryeo people must be fought, and more food should be brought. go back."

Luo Fu said: "Now Goguryeo is chasing after the Sui army's rout, and it is almost at Mazishui. To capture this city, it is better to delay the journey for two or three days. If the team moves too fast, the Sui army has not yet withdrawn." If you go, it will be troublesome."

"I think we'll rest in the city for a few days after we've been defeated. Anyway, the Goguryeo army won't be able to return for a while. After the Sui army retreats to the west bank of the Liaoshui River, it won't be too late for us to leave."

Chen Que'er said.

Li Xian thought for a while and said: "If a person has no long-term considerations, he must have near-term worries. Food and grass must be prepared, otherwise the morale of the army will be in chaos when we return to Yanshan. After taking this big city, let's not go to Liaodong City, and then go north, and then go to Yanshan. West, passing by Xiren's pasture, this season the grassland people's cattle and sheep have already put on fat, and it is the time when they are so fat."

"Ha ha!"

Chao Qiuge smiled and said, "I like doing this the most. The grassland people's cattle and sheep fat are just the winter food for our army!"

After Wang Qinian knew Li Xian's true identity, he had accepted his fate. It was impossible for him to escape, and Li Xian was really kind to him. Although he was still in charge of the supply camp, besides a thousand soldiers, he had two The old and weak who were eliminated from the soldiers, now counting him as the school lieutenant, he actually leads 3000 troops. How can Wang Qinian, who leads at most 100 troops in his life, not be high-spirited?He felt that although he was a captain, he already had the power of a general, and it was worth it to have such a glorious moment in his life.

At the beginning, he donated all his savings to Li to seek the position of Lieutenant of the Guarding Brigade, but was snatched by Li Xian.Now that Li Xian gave him a school lieutenant, and he was still in charge of so many soldiers, Wang Qinian felt so full of pride that he thought of an impressive sentence to flatter him.

"Scholars are honored by those who please themselves, and women are killed by those who are confidantes. The subordinates are grateful for the general's appreciation, and the general's orders, the subordinates resolutely obey!"

He said firmly.

Li Xian glanced at him and said indifferently, "You're talking the wrong way."

Wang Qinian explained without blushing: "That's because every time I see you, General, my subordinates will feel that their hearts are surging and it's hard to calm down.! Actually, what I want to say is that if you really plan to rob Xiren, you must The baggage battalion under the command took the lead in expressing their opinion, no matter how much you rob with the general, I will accept it..."

Li Xian smiled and said, "You have a good appetite."

Wang Qinian said: "With more than 2 mouths, the subordinates have a bad appetite."

Li Xian hummed and said, "There should be a lot of grain and grass in the big city in front. When the Sui army marched eastward, the city lords of the Goguryeo cities collected all the grain into their own cities, in order to strengthen the walls and clear the fields so that the Sui army could not grab a piece of it. A grain of grain. Now that the city defense is empty, it is indeed a good opportunity to take this city. I am not afraid of your appetite, as long as you manage the supply camp well, I will not treat you badly."

Wang Qinian immediately came to his senses and asked, "What does the general plan to reward his subordinates?"

Li Xian said solemnly: "You are already 50 years old, how can you do without a woman to take care of you. I plan to find a strong Xiren woman to take care of you when I arrive in the grassland, how about it?"

Tie Liaolang also said seriously: "Well, you big lady who smells like sheep, you must be strong enough!"

Wang Qinian's face darkened, and he smiled embarrassingly and said, "Subordinate...Subordinate still thinks it's good to be single..."

Li Xian smiled, and stopped joking: "I have sent scouts to check the Goguryeo city in the morning, and they should be back soon. Chen Que'er, tell the scouts to come see me directly after they come back."

The leader of the scouts, Chen Que'er, nodded and said, "This subordinate understands.

"In addition, it's time to make plans now. Yanshan is not a suitable place to support 5000 people. Now the team has nearly 3 people. It's time to find a place to move. What do you think is the most suitable place in the north now? "

He pointed to another map and said that it was the territory map of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Everyone looked around the map and couldn't think of a good place for a while.

It's no wonder that everyone can't figure it out. Although the world in the Sui Dynasty is getting more and more chaotic every day, especially in the north of the Yellow River, there are no less than a dozen rebel armies from all walks of life, big and small, raising flags and rebelling. The biggest ones are Wang Bo, Zhang Jincheng, etc. Everyone has tens of thousands of subordinates, and the small ones have thousands of people, but there is no doubt that the country of the Sui Dynasty is far from being out of control.Although the counties in Hebei were in chaos, the rule of the Sui Dynasty was still stable.It stands to reason that the most suitable place is Zhuojun, but Zhuojun is Luo Yi's territory, and the five thousand tigers under him are too elite. There is still no chance of winning with five thousand armored cavalry.Besides, Luo Yi's light cavalry and infantry are no less than 3 in total. Luo Yi is the emperor of Zhuojun.

Li Xian didn't have the confidence to go against Luo Yi now. He didn't want to lose the team he had acquired so hard. Except for Zhuo County, almost all the counties in Hebei had famous generals in command, and it was not so easy to snatch it.

"otherwise……"

Liu Man, the oldest among the crowd, said tentatively, "Go further south? Since we can't fight the Sui court for the time being, why don't we go grab the territory with those teams on the Green Forest Road."

Almost at the same time, everyone's eyes were fixed on one place.

……

……

Yu Wenshi was in a hurry. Starting from the Sui army camp outside Liaodong City, a cavalry team of 2 people rushed to the southeast without stopping, and followed the route of the Great Sui Expeditionary Army going south to meet Yu Wenshu.After walking three hundred miles, Yuwen Shiji's heart became more and more heavy.

Within three hundred miles, not a single Sui soldier was seen in the dangerous place!This is completely unreasonable. According to his understanding, his father Yu Wenshu has always been cautious in using troops, and there must be at least a few hundred troops guarding dangerous places along the road, in case the army is blocked when the army returns.But all the way to the south, although Yuwen Shiji found several places where soldiers from the Sui Dynasty should be stationed, he didn't see a single living person!

His heart became more and more uneasy, and finally, after walking for a few more days and approaching Ma Zishui, he finally found five hundred Sui soldiers whose heads had been beheaded at a place where the Sui troops left behind. Corpse corpse.The heads were piled up into grave bags, and the corpses were piled up to build the city wall.Although the weather has turned cold, there are still countless flies buzzing and flying, and there are dense maggots rolling back and forth on the corpse.

Yuwen Shiji looked at the naked corpses with a cold face, and the anger and worry in his heart were so intense that they formed a cloud of haze.

Ordering the soldiers to bury the corpses, Yuwen Shiji walked around.In addition to the dead body, he also saw the seedlings that had been drilled out of the ground and were still struggling to grow against the season.It was the grain that the soldiers secretly buried in the soil when the expeditionary army went south, and now it has grown a foot taller.

Without staying longer, Yuwen Shiji ordered the cavalry to continue going south. The further south he went, the colder his heart became.

How did the expeditionary army fight this battle?Why are there so many Goguryeo cities left along the road that have not been captured?There are as few as ten thousand people in these cities, and no fewer than fifty thousand in the largest cities!These cities left on the road like nails are like deep pits that can smash people to pieces!How could there be so many disasters left behind on the way back?How could father be so reckless in using soldiers?

In fact, this is not to blame Yu Wenshu, Dajun Nan
