Chapter 70 Undefeated and Defeat

Chapter 70 Unbeaten

Yang Guang looked at Chen Kefu seriously, but he didn't expect that Chen Kefu could say such a thing today.

Although he felt that the reason why he did not expect that Yang Ni might rush to Beiping County and block his way back was that he felt that he knew Yang Xuangan very well. He did not believe that people like Yang Xuangan were really willing to go out and rush to him thousands of miles regardless of danger. You must know, even if he could really block his millions of troops in Liaodong? Everything is still unknown.

Beiping County is just a small county, and the city is not big. Yang Xuangan rushed over thousands of miles to attack. How many soldiers could he have? And the Turks, Khitans and Xi people in the north had some possibility to attack him.

Besides, he now has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and the most important point is that Goguryeo's main force has been annihilated by him, and now the Liaodong city cannot be defended. What else can the Goguryeo people use to attack him? Yizhi Wende had just annihilated 80,000 cavalry by him.

Goguryeo is afraid that she will not dare to come out now. Even if she comes, how many people can she gather? The most uncountable thing that Yang Xuangan did not calculate was that although Yang Xuangan stopped him and did not send his food and supplies.

However, although Yang Xuangan's move was ruthless, it was considered a place that was that Chen Kefu and his friends conquered the new city, and the four cities including Nansu obtained nearly 500,000 stones of grain, which was accumulated here by Goguryeo for decades. This food was enough for millions of soldiers and civilians to eat for a month, or even save some money, and the food and grass in the army could be maintained for three months without any problem.

And after so long, he solved everything. In addition, he had already seen through Yang Xuangan's character and absolutely did not believe that Yang Xuangan would come to Peking at all costs. Yang Xuangan rebelled just to seize his world, not to die with him.

When Yang Xuangan comes to Peking, he may face the attacks of hundreds of thousands of Sui troops in Liaodong and the Central Plains King-Supervising Army. With Yang Xuangan's personality, he would definitely not choose this path.

However, he was surprised that Chen Pojun could think of this and analyzed it so clearly. Chen Pojun was just a special move. Although he had the blood of the Southern Chen royal family, he grew up in the remote countryside of Zhuo County. Thinking about Chen Kefu's several battles, it was remarkable, and Yang Guang couldn't help but like this young general even more.

After quitting the initial panic in his heart, Yang Guang's face looked much better and turned back to the previous head. "Pojun's analysis is indeed reasonable and well-founded. It is worthy of reading military books often. It is useless to read. It seems that I not only have a general, but also a general. After Pojun's analysis, I think this Yang Xuangan is really not worth mentioning. I dare say that Yang Xuangan will never adopt the two strategies Pojun said."

"Your Majesty said so much. Your Majesty really predicts the enemy like a god." The ministers hurriedly flattered the emperor.

Yang Guang waved his hand, "I have long seen that Yang Su had a rebellion, and I wanted to kill his nine clans back then, but Yang Su was an old fox. Seeing my intention, he was so scared that he stopped. He didn't even dare to treat him when he was sick. He died like that, which was a glimmer of hope for his entire clan. Seeing that he had died, I thought that he had made great contributions to our dynasty in the past, I no longer pursued him and rewarded him a lot, even let Yang Xuangan attack his title, and even promoted him to the position of Shangzhu Kingdom and the Minister of Rites."

"I didn't expect that generations are really worse than generations. Yang Su was so cunning back then that he gave birth to such a stupid son. He didn't dare to rebel, but he actually rebelled. This gave me a chance. I was always unwilling to be unable to kill Yang Su's nine clans. This time, I will kill him nine clans this time, and even Yang Su had to dig a grave and open a coffin and whip the corpse."

After hearing this, the ministers below were sweating coldly. How dissatisfied with Yang Su? They felt regretful that Yang Su could not kill his nine clans without rebelling. However, after the emperor said this, some timid civil officials were not as worried as before.

Yang Guang sneered, "If I guessed well, Yang Ni would definitely take the third strategy. The third strategy must be to select elite soldiers, advance day and night, sneak attack and occupy the Dongdu to command the world. However, the pig-brained Yang Ni didn't think about it. The news of their rebellion had already spread, and Dongdu must have strengthened its defense. If we lead troops to attack the city, it would be difficult to conquer the capital like Yidongdu without a hundred days. During this period, troops from all over the Sui Dynasty came from all directions, and I don't need to say the result. He was completely seeking death!"

After hearing this, Chen Kefu was really impressed by Yang Guang. He was really very accurate in his personality. When he recalled those history, he was indeed as Yang Guang said. Yang Xuangan abandoned the upper and lower strategies and attacked Luoyang alone. As a result, he could not defeat him after fighting for a long time. Finally, he wanted to go to Chang'an, but was defeated by the Sui army who arrived halfway.

"In this way, Yang Ni doesn't need to worry too much. However, the son of a thousand gold medal cannot sit in the hall. Your Majesty, this rebellion of Yang Ni will inevitably cause great shock to the government and the people. At this time, Your Majesty should return to the capital to stay in charge and intimidate the world." Nayan Suwei stood up with his white hair on his head.

For this old man who is almost eighty years old, no matter what he says, his family is in Luoyang, the eastern capital. If something happens to Luoyang, the country may not be destroyed. His family will be destroyed first.

As Su Wei took the lead, the ministers also began to discuss and persuade the emperor to return to court under the banner of the emperor's safety.

Yang Guang was still a little worried that Yang Xuangan would really come to Peking regardless of everything, but it would be a problem at that time. When the ministers persuaded him, he was a little moved.

Pei Shiju is the best at observing the face on weekdays. When he saw Yang Guang's reaction, he guessed something about his thoughts. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this time our army conquered Goguryeo to capture four cities, annihilated nearly 200,000 elite troops, and even captured one of them. It can be said that he has won a great victory. It is about to enter August, Liaodong, from August to August, it will be a continuous rainy season. After the rainy season, it will be a season for heavy snow to block the mountains for several months. It will be a day that is not suitable to move troops before May next year."

"Besides, although our army is not worried about food and grass issues, the food and grass trough transport to the north is now occupied by Yang Ni, and this food and grass is ultimately a big problem. According to my opinion, it is better to retreat to the court first. After the weather is warm next May next year, we will come to conquer Liaodong and pacify Goguryeo in one fell swoop. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Pei Shiju's words really touched Yang Guang's heart. Now it is about to enter the rainy season. It is not suitable for military use for most half of the year. It is appropriate to withdraw troops now. Although Liaodong City is almost enough to be captured, there is still an inner city in Liaodong City. However, if the Goguryeo people fight to the death, they don't know how long it will take. It is really not a good thing that cannot be replenished in the Central Plains now.

Anyway, he felt that it would be impossible for the Liao people to recover their strength this time. It would be impossible for them to recover their strength without a few years. And now he will return to the court first, and wait until the weather improves next year, and then all the domestic affairs will be handled. Then he will finish his efforts in one battle and completely settle the matter of Goguryeo. This is also a good strategy.

Yang Guang nodded and said to the ministers below, "Do you guys have different opinions?"

Most civil officials agreed with Pei Shiju's opinion at this time. Even some generals felt that the team was losing money now, but Liaodong had not fought once or twice, and they would have no objection to come next time. Anyway, everyone is worried about food and grass, and the other is worried about Luoyang's family, but not many of them are really interested in fighting here.

When the emperor asked, they naturally agreed.

Yang Guang pondered for a moment, "Okay, then I'm now ordering that the entire army will return to the triumphant army. When the weather is right next May next year, we will come to conquer Goguryeo again. Notify all soldiers that in order not to let the Goguryeo people take the opportunity to harass us and let all soldiers prepare, retreat at the third day of the evening. The three armies must not make any noise, discard all the supplies, food and grass, each brings ten days of food and grass, and the camps and other things are intact to confuse the Liao people. With Yuwen Shu and Yang Yichen as the front army, you two will lead 50,000 cavalry and light cavalry to advance and arrive at the fastest speed to garrison Beiping County."

Yang Guang and others said before that they seemed to retreat after a great victory, but as soon as this order came out, it still exposed the intention of the Sui army to run away. In order to avoid the attacks of the Goguryeo people from behind, they even wanted the camp, just to deceive the Goguryeo people for a day and a half.

Chen Kefu felt very uncomfortable. Although he felt that it was indeed time to retreat in this season, at least you could wait a few more days to defeat Liaodong City before leaving. At that time, occupy Liaodong City and Nansu can also be connected to five cities including Xincheng and Nansu. With this place, the Sui army will come again next year, and it will not be easy to fight Goguryeo. However, according to Yang Guang's order, it is equivalent to abandoning all the four cities including Xincheng.

Come again next year, but it will not be like this now. By then, the Goguryeo people will definitely send new troops to defend this country. They will never give up this strongest city in Liaodong. Think about this conquest of Goguryeo, and siege Liaodong City for so long and so many people have died, but now they will easily throw away this. Chen Kefu really felt very uncomfortable. No matter how strong the Sui Dynasty was, it was not like this.
