After arranging the rotating soldiers, Li Xian swam comfortably in the Sashui. The weather was already a little cold at this time, especially at night, which was at least twice as low as the daytime temperature. However, the monster who has been taking cold showers every day since childhood is naturally not afraid of anything. He has been in the water for a while and has been thrusting away a lot of boredom in his heart.
After wiping her body clean and putting on her clothes, Li Xian sat down on the stone on the shore. Thinking about Wang Qinian's previous report, Li Xian's heart tightened again.
It was not a good phenomenon to find Goguryeo scouts from the upstream. Li Xian vaguely remembered the reason for the failure of the Sui army's Sashui Battle. He was not a historian. He probably only remembered that Yizhi Wende blocked the river in the upper reaches of the Sashui River. He dug it out when the Sui army crossed the river. When the Sui army crossed the river, it was released and rushed down. Then the Goguryeo army took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill the Sui army to suffer a crushing defeat. Although he seriously injured Yizhi Wende outside the Sui army's camp, which had changed history, Li Xian was not sure that Yizhi Wende could not think of this trick due to injury.
That's why he sent Wang Qinian to patrol the upstream with his scouts. Wang Qinian ordered the killing of those Goguryeo scouts very beautifully. Li Xian praised Wang Qinian for having this idea.
This is to alert the snake. Wang Qinian knew that there were definitely more than a few Goguryeo scouts nearby. He ordered the murder to warn the Goguryeo people hiding in the dark that the people of the Great Sui Dynasty were already paying attention to the upstream of the Sashui River.
Wang Qinian did a good job. If someone else led the team, he wouldn't have thought of this level. From this, it can be seen that Li Xian's admiration for Wang Qinian was definitely not because of his good flattery. His careful thoughts were definitely not comparable to those like Fu Hunu and Chen Queer.
Perhaps it is precisely because Wang Qinian is timid that he thinks more. Just like Li Xian, because he wants to live well, he is inevitably not as good as others' attitude towards life.
Should I remind Brothers Xue Wanche?
Li Xian thought, if he told the brothers of Xue Wanche about the news that there was a scout in Goguryeo upstream, would the two brothers tell Xue Shixiong about the news, which would in turn attract Yuwen Shu's attention? If Yuwen Shu could send another team of troops to patrol the upstream for a period of time, the Goguryeo people would not have a chance to cut off the Sashui even if they wanted to cut off the Sashui.
Li Xian knew that if he sent someone to tell Xin Shixiong the news, there would definitely be no following.
After thinking about it, it seemed that I could only tell the Xue brothers this way.
He stood up and called his personal soldiers over and said, "Crossing the river overnight and reporting to General Xue Wanche, saying that the discovery of Goguryeo soldiers twenty miles upstream may be detrimental to the army. Please ask General Xue to order how to deal with it."
As he was talking, Li Xian suddenly felt something strange. He subconsciously turned his head and saw a faint flash of fire in the camp of the Xue brothers on the other side of the river. Through the river, he could faintly hear people's shouts.
Enemy attack?
Li Xian's face changed slightly, and he immediately ordered: "Come on the horn!"
He quickly ran back to his camp, and with the help of his personal soldiers, he put the black armor neatly on his clothes, brought a hard archer pot, held the black knife in his hand, and walked out quickly. Outside the military tent, there were already personal soldiers leading the big black horse. Li Xian got on the horse and rushed out of the camp. On the way, Luo Fu and others rushed one after another. Li Xian ordered Tie Liaolang to take one of his subordinates to protect the camp, and Luo Fu and Liu Man gathered soldiers to follow him across the river to rescue the Xue brothers.
At this moment, the training of the soldiers of the Great Sui Palace was fully reflected. In about twenty minutes, the troops of each battalion had already been assembled.
"All cavalry, please cross the river with me first. Luo Fu, please join me. Good luck. You will cross the river with infantry. You don't have to find enemies to fight. You only need to maintain the camp. If there are any rioters taking the opportunity to cause trouble, no matter who is under you, you will be killed without mercy!"
Li Xian ordered.
Liu Man clasped his fists and said, "I understand!"
Li Xian nodded, waved his hand, and led more than 500 cavalrymen to run out first. The river in the Sashui section was very shallow, and the cavalry were basically unaffected to cross the river. Just as Li Xian gathered his troops, the flames in the camp of the Xue brothers in the north of Sashui had become brighter and brighter.
...
...
"Tell the soldiers, the shouting louder!"
Xue Wanche stood in the south of the camp, observing Li Xian's camp across the river, smiling and shouting. Xue Wanjun, who was standing behind him, curling his lips, as if he was quite disdainful of his brother's appearance. At first, Xue Wanche asked him to take hundreds of people to pretend to be Goguryeo soldiers to see if Li Xian would bring troops to rescue him. If Li Xian came, he would just say that it was a Goguryeo attack at night and had been driven away. He left Li Xian and stationed on the north bank to test whether Li Xian was sincerely repaid to the Xue family.
But Xue Wanjun refused to do anything and advised Xue Wanche not to use such villain methods to test Li Xian. Xue Wanche refused to listen and sent his confidant to tie hundreds of people to set fire on the side of the camp, and then shouted hard and pretended that there was a Korean attack. Xue Wanjun was so angry that he simply stood coldly and looked at his brother's idiot's behavior as if he was standing there as a joke.
Perhaps he felt that his method was very good, but Xue Wanche actually thought that the soldiers' shouts were not loud enough, and he had ordered the soldiers to amplify their voices a little more twice in a row. He was having a lot of fun, but Xue Wanjun was so angry that his face turned pale.
"Call it, shout it, General Yan will bring people over later. I'll see how you explain it!"
"Call it, shout it, I will really attract the Goguryeo people in a while and I will see how you end up!"
He waited for Xue Wanche and muttered.
Xue Wanche gave him a blank look, turned around and asked seriously, "Are you my brother? Why are you muttering in your mouth full of unlucky words? Didn't I say that if Yan Yun brought troops to rescue him, I would tell him that the Goryeo has been repelled by me. If the Goguryeo really doesn't open his eyes and comes to steal the camp, I will kill him without leaving any armor!"
Xue Wanjun curled his lips and said, "Do you think Yan Yun is as idiotic as you?"
Xue Wanche said angrily: "You should talk about me again, if you believe it or not, I will beat you up!"
When it comes to fighting, Xue Wanjun is not Xue Wanche's opponent. Every time the two of them quarrel, Xue Wanche will always retreat when she is angry and ready to take action.
This time was no exception. Seeing Xue Wanche rolling up his cuffs and going to do something, Xue Wanjun immediately shut up and turned to the distance, muttering while walking, only to beat the little man if he could not say anything. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and his face suddenly became a little ugly.
"Brother... it seems wrong."
Xue Wanjun shouted.
"Stop calling me, go be your good person!"
Xue Wanche said angrily.
Xue Wanjun didn't look back, and suddenly shouted loudly as the fire lights rose in the distance: "Hurry! There are really Goguryeo people attacking at night!"
He shouted and rushed towards the place where the fire was flashing. But he was too fat and ran and his body was jumping up and down, but his speed was not faster. Xue Wanche heard his tone was wrong, so he turned around and looked away and listened, and his face immediately changed.
The shouts in the distance were obviously mixed with the banal words of the Goguryeo people!
not good!
Xue Wanche was shocked. There were actually Goguryeo people coming to rob the camp! He didn't dare to delay. He ordered the horn to gather, and while snatching his long spear from his personal soldiers, he rushed forward quickly. Xue Wanjun ran first, but was chased by Xue Wanche from behind in a few steps. Xue Wanjun ran and complained, "It's all your fault. You have to come up with such a bad idea! It's good now. It must be that the Goguryeo people saw the fire in our camp, and they thought someone was coming to attack at night, so they had the courage to rush over. They didn't dare to attack rashly, but they were all attracted by your fire!"
Xue Wanche passed by him and answered only two words: "Shut up!"
Xue Wanjun ran in sweat, but after all, he was too fat and was far from Xue Wanche's opponent in speed. He simply stopped running, but instead restrained the soldiers from panic while walking. He also sent his personal soldiers to take his large armor and sent people to cross the river quickly to General Yanyun for help.
In fact, as Xue Wanjun had just expected, the Goguryeo people saw a fire in the Sui army camp and thought that it would have flocked to the enemy after they attacked the Sui army camp. The Goguryeo army structure was very complicated, not just the people of the Goguryeo court, but also included foreign warriors who had bought them for a lot of money, such as the Marceites and Khitans. In addition, Goguryeo seemed to be a complete country, but in fact, the city lords of each city were all princes who occupied one area and did not fully comply with the orders of King Gao Yuan of Goguryeo. However, this Eastern Expedition of the Great Sui Dynasty united these forces.
But even so, the Goguryeo army was extremely chaotic in command. Some tribes did not dare to fight with the Sui army openly, but followed from a distance. When they had the opportunity, they would pounce on them like wolves and bite them. Once they were frustrated, they immediately flocked to flee. The city lords of each city were fighting on their own. Even if Yizhi Wende gained military leadership by force, it was still difficult to achieve the unification of military orders like the Sui army.
The attack on the Xue brothers camp was an army pieced together by several city lords and their subordinates. They were ordered by Yizhi Wende and recently arrived near Sashui to gather. They happened to see a fire in the Sui army camp, and they thought it was Yizhi Wende's soldiers who launched a night attack. When they thought of the enviable equipment of the Sui soldiers, these Goguryeo people immediately rushed up like chicken blood.
This is definitely not a premeditated attack, but for the Sui army, it is more threatening than a premeditated attack, because... this is the trouble caused by Xue Wanche himself.
The Goguryeo army, which had less than 20,000 people, launched an offensive from the east side of the Sui army camp. Xue Wanche had only five Zhechong camps on the north bank camp, with 6,000 troops, and less than 8,000 auxiliary soldiers. And half were sleeping, while the other half was watching the show!
Just when the Sui Army was having fun, 20,000 Goguryeo people like wild wolfs came overwhelmed!
