Turbulent Times Chapter 1122: Fang Qiao’s advice
On the contrary, with the fall of Liaodong City, it was a shocking bad news for Goguryeo, and they became passive from then on.
After today, they can only keep a close eye on the movement of the Sui army, mobilize the army to fight against the rhythm and direction of the Sui army, if the Sui army goes north, they can only choose to go north to support, if the Sui army goes south, they can only go south Fighting, that is to say, with the fall of Liaodong City, Goguryeo can only be led by the nose by the Sui army.
Of course, these are only theoretical, what will happen in fact, you will only know after playing.
The atmosphere in the imperial tent is high and warm. The Sui army in the city is carrying out street fighting in an orderly manner according to the established plan, cleaning up the remnants of the enemy, while the monarchs and ministers in the imperial tent are feasting on roasted whole sheep.
Fang Qiao is also among the generals celebrating the victory. He has been serving as Yang Guang's secretary and has been very familiar with Yang Guang's personality for the past few years.
Different from Liu Ziming's uprightness, Fang Qiao is a person who judges the situation very well. He knows Yang Guang's character and doesn't listen to other people's advice at all, so he rarely advises Yang Guang in recent years, but now In the evening, he decided to advise, not only because Wang Junlin sent someone to bring the message, but also because he wanted to advise.
When the epidemic began to appear in the army, Fang Qiao had an ominous premonition in his heart. He always felt that after a big victory, there might be a big defeat. Until Wang Junlin sent someone to send a long letter, Fang Qiao Joe even decided that this battle could not continue.
Of course, these thoughts are outrageous, even if Fang Qiao was killed, he dared not say it out loud, so he wanted to use another way to persuade him.
The atmosphere of the Victory Banquet was warm and noisy, and there were laughter and laughter everywhere. Contrary to the trend of unfavorable wars and huge casualties these days, Fang Qiao looked at Yang Guang with deep disappointment in his eyes.
Yang Guang didn't realize that he was being quietly disappointed by Fang Qiao. At this moment, he was very excited. The capture of Liaodong City made the entire chessboard of the war come to life in vain, so he was in a good mood...
While the emperor and ministers are enjoying their meals, the scouts keep reporting the latest military situation outside the commander's tent.
Master Wang has broken the urn city, beheaded more than 7,000 people, and more than 60,000 have fallen. Wang Shi has broken through the inner city, beheaded more than 4,000 people, and surrendered more than 5,000 people. Wang Shi was blocked from entering the inner city.
Resisting in the streets and alleys, the king's division broke up into pieces, relying on the streets and alleys to fight step by step, and ordered to set fire to the city, forcing the enemy to face it head-on, beheading more than 4,000 enemies, and the number of survivors is unknown... ...
One after another, **** battle reports were presented to Yang Guang's commander's tent like a fleeting glance. The expressions of the monarchs and ministers in the tent did not change at all, they seemed to be in a better mood, and the laughter continued one after another.
Fang Qiao was neither sad nor happy at the moment. He knew that the soldiers and civilians in Liaodong City might not be able to survive tonight. What would be left after the army was crushed? There is a piece of scorched earth and ruins, and there is only a pool of blood and corpses. At least Yang Guang now does not mention the so-called battle of benevolence and righteousness for the Goguryeo people.
"Your Majesty, Master Wang will be able to clear the city of Liaodong tonight. From then on, hundreds of miles west of Liaodong can enter our territory of the Sui Dynasty. Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
With Yu Wenshu taking the lead, all the ministers in the tent suddenly burst into congratulations. Yang Guang faintly regained his confidence, raised his head and laughed boldly, looking down on the world, but when he thought of the disappearance of the troops sent by Wang Junlin, And the terrifying secret treasure that can blow up a city wall is not in his hands, so he feels very uncomfortable, and there are some shadows in his heart.
After the tent calmed down a bit, Yu Wenshu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, at this moment, Liaodong City is already in the hands of the Sui Dynasty. We can discuss the next step of Master Wang."
The smile on Yang Guang's face remained unchanged, he looked around at the generals and said, "That's right, since Liaodong has been overcome, the next step is to look at the whole of Goguryeo."
The tent suddenly fell silent. There was an epidemic in the army, and the epidemic was even more serious among the civilians who were in charge of logistics supplies. There were not a few people who saw the problem, but no one would speak rashly. All the officials frowned and fell into deep thought.
In the crowd, Fang Qiao's expression gradually turned cold, and his hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists. Sure enough, no one dared to tell the truth in front of His Majesty in Da Sui right now.
Liaodong City was captured, at the cost of hundreds of thousands of casualties, I thought Yang Guang would learn his lesson and carefully consider his next move, but Fang Qiao didn't expect that Yang Guang would still go his own way and continue to make mistakes relentlessly.
Yes, no matter how he fights next, Yang Guang has made a mistake. At this moment, in Yang Guang's words
The meaning of is still not the slightest retreat, or the meaning of stopping, it seems that they want to continue to attack Goguryeo desperately, to fulfill Yang Guang's personal feats.
He didn't pay much attention to the epidemics in the army and civilians. Perhaps this was because the common people and ordinary soldiers were always just a number in Yang Guang's mind.
Yang Guang didn't know what kind of bad luck he would bring to these more than 800,000 soldiers and three million civilians by going his own way. Originally, Liaodong City could not be conquered, so Yang Guang began to face up to Goguryeo, an opponent, but now As Liaodong City was conquered, Yang Guang's confidence swelled again.
Full of resentment and honesty, Fang Qiao wanted to say it, but his wisdom and experience told him that when Yang Guang, whose confidence was swelling, wanted to do anything, it was impossible to listen to the advice of others, and he talked a lot. It is very likely that it will lead to death.
At this moment, Yang Guang didn't seem to feel that he was going further and further down the wrong path, but was complacent, thinking that the destruction of Goguryeo was just around the corner, and he didn't take Goguryeo seriously.
Fang Qiao sighed secretly, remembering what Wang Junlin said in his letter, he couldn't care less about getting into trouble, at least he should say something for nearly a million soldiers of the three armies, and earn their lives for them.
"Your Majesty, I think that the most important thing right now is not to send troops to attack the rest of the country immediately. The first thing that the soldiers of my royal division should do is...to rest and rectify, to restore the morale of the army, especially to solve the problem of the epidemic, otherwise... ..." Fang Qiao lowered her head, trying to be as tactful as possible.
Yang Guang raised his eyebrows: "Restore the morale of the army? Xuanling was too worried. I thought the morale of the army was restored in an instant when we conquered Liaodong City today. Xuanling, today's tent is full of veterans who have led the army for many years. How can we rectify the morale of the army? , they know better than you, what do you know as a civil servant..."
Fang Qiao pondered for a moment, Fang Qiao gritted his teeth, and said: "Your Majesty, it is a taboo for soldiers to travel far and tired, not to mention the fact that there has been an epidemic in the army. The number of people is not large, but the psychological fear brought to the soldiers is great. For example, a minister in the imperial account has an epidemic disease. Everyone can talk about military affairs here at this time. In other words If there is an epidemic in the army, even if there is only one out of ten thousand people, regardless of whether the epidemic will spread or not, the others will certainly panic.”
