"Sir, what you mean is that Mr. Su chose to stay and let you come back?"

In the royal study, Li Ye asked.

It had been two days since Confucius returned to Beijing and he resumed his duties as Minister of Rites.

"Indeed."

He nodded and admitted, feeling a little strange.

"Your Majesty, isn't it your decision for Mr. Su to stay in Sui Dynasty?"

As Daxia grew stronger, Li Ye's decision was proven correct time and time again.

Whether it was razing aristocratic families or spending money to invest, it all confirmed Li Ye's wisdom.

Now, even if Li Ye says that people should fly in the sky, I am afraid that many people will wonder why they cannot fly.

Confucius was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and most of what he did was to pray for sacrifices. Li Ye did not need to intervene, but the rumors of His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts still affected him. This is why Su Qin said that he wanted to stay in the Sui Dynasty, but Confucius had no objection.

.

Li Ye thought about it in his mind and did not respond immediately.

After a moment, he looked up with a smile.

"I understand."

Confucius bowed and resigned.

After he left, Li Ye found Lu Bing and asked him to sneak back to Sui Dynasty secretly to protect Su Qin's safety.

Before Su Qin left Daxia, he said that he had a way to control the Sui Dynasty. At that time, Li Ye did not delve into it. As the talker of a huge empire, he would not restrict the thoughts of every minister. Most of the time, he would only give out goals.

, let them do their own thing.

Ten days later, Li Ye received a secret letter from Su Qin.

After reading it, he couldn't help but admire Su Qin's strategic vision.

Looking for the secret message, Li Ye continued to look down. Li Ye raised his eyebrows and saw a familiar name.

"Luo Cheng?"

According to Li Ye's memory, although Luo Cheng, the son of Luo Yi, appeared in many Ming and Qing novels named after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he was a fictional character.

"Is it possible that this world will not only accept those historical figures, but also fictional characters?"

After touching his chin and thinking for a while, Li Ye ordered.

"Let Lu Bing go to Yunyang County to check on this Luo Cheng."

"At the same time, let King Yan be prepared. If the Sui army that penetrates deep into Goguryeo escapes to our border in Daxia, we might as well rescue it."

"yes."

Xiaochunzi left to do some business.

…

Outside the royal city of Goguryeo, Luo Yi was admiring Pyongyang in front of him.

When he took command before, he had carefully searched for information about the royal city of Goguryeo, so that when he led his troops to surround it, he could attack the city immediately, overthrow the Goguryeo regime, add a territory to the Sui Dynasty, and set himself on the path to success.

At the peak of power, add a sum of resources, and then...

Then there is no more.

He led an army of 500,000 to attack Goguryeo and only captured a few border towns before being severely defeated. Not to mention Pyongyang, even the domestic city was not seen.

"Cheng'er, this city is difficult to attack."

Luo Yi sighed.

Luo Cheng is a man with silver armor and a silver gun. He has an extraordinary appearance and is full of vigor, but his temperament is different from that of his peers, and he is quite calm.

"Father, it is indeed difficult to attack."

Luo Cheng looked at the city wall of Pyongyang for a while, and then looked at the surrounding mountains and fields. He saw traces of bamboo forests in the distance, and he smiled.

"But it's not impossible to attack."

"oh?"

Luo Yi looked at him in surprise.

"Do you have a clever plan?"

"It's not a clever plan. Your Majesty just ordered us to disrupt Goguryeo instead of conquering Pyongyang City. In this way, we don't need to take it too seriously."

"Father, we only have three thousand elite cavalry, so we might as well use Pyongyang's strategy of suspicion."

"What is the tactic of doubting soldiers?"

Just as Luo Cheng was waiting to explain, a large area of ​​bright red suddenly appeared above the city, with a wisp of bright yellow mixed in between.

"Who is under the city!"

King Han of Goguryeo asked.

Luo Yi's troops were in a hurry, and before they had time to unfurl the flag, the Pyongyang garrison observed for a while and said to King Han.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it should be the Sui army."

"Sui Army!"

Hearing that it was not Xia Jun, King Han and the left and right party members heaved a sigh of relief.

The Sui army was also very strong, but its combat effectiveness was no different from that of Goguryeo.

Previously, an army of 500,000 people knocked at the pass and failed to come in. Behind them, an army of one million people knocked at the pass. The Sui Emperor personally marched and was blocked by Liao City. Both the King of Han and the left and right party members only regarded the Sui Dynasty as a difficult opponent.

Pay attention but not be timid.

"Hmph, even a mere three to four thousand troops dare to come to Pyongyang!"

"In my opinion, the Sui Emperor has lost his mind."

The right prime minister said this without glancing at the left prime minister who advocated surrender to the Sui Dynasty.

"you!"

Prime Minister Zuo opened his mouth to refute, but looking at the Sui soldiers and horses below, he still couldn't say anything.

The spirit of the soldiers and horses of the Great Sui Dynasty was completely different from that of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Although the soldiers of the former were also young and strong, they lacked that burst of vigor.

At least the thousands of Sui soldiers and horses outside the city looked much weaker than the Daxia champions who arrived before.

"Your Majesty, I think we should take the initiative!"

The right minister suggested.

Since Huo Qubing came last time, Pyongyang has sent additional soldiers to defend the city. No matter what the crisis is, the King of Korea will not transfer the soldiers to other places. Now there are more than 10,000 troops in Pyongyang, including the Sui Army.

Without the siege of 30,000 to 50,000 people, the King of Han and his ministers did not panic at all.

King Han did not speak, his eyes fell on the generals guarding the city.

The latter thought for a moment and nodded lightly to King Han.

"Okay, let the general take charge over there. We must let the Sui people know that we are not easy to mess with!"

"yes!"

The general who defended the city took the order and left.

When the city gate moved, Luo Yi secretly increased his vigilance and did not act rashly in an attempt to capture the city. He was arrogant in his military use, but he was not stupid. He did not have Huo Qubing's courage and strategy. He would not naively think that he could conquer Goguryeo with only three thousand men.

Royal City.

Luo Yi suppressed his temper, but not completely. Within a moment, his face turned red with anger.

I saw more than a thousand Goguryeo cavalry outside the city gate of Goguryeo. After they left the city, the city gate was closed. The more than a thousand cavalry were a hundred paces away and faced off with three thousand Sui troops.

"Damn it, how dare a mere barbarian insult me!"

Luo Yi cursed angrily, raised his gun and wanted to kill him.

"Father, wait!"

Luo Cheng opened his mouth to stop him.

"Cheng'er, Goguryeo only has a thousand riders, yet you dare to confront me. If you can't teach them a lesson, wouldn't it be looked down upon!" Luo Yi shouted in a deep voice.

Luo Cheng raised the silver gun and said with a smile.

"Father, I don't want to stop you."

"You can't kill a chicken with a sledgehammer. Give five hundred people to a child and see how I beat them to pieces."

"The child will lead 500 men to the battle, and the father will lead 2,500 soldiers to supervise the battle. This can avoid an ambush. If there is any fraud, the father can lead the child to kill him."

Luo Yi's eyes lit up and he secretly said that Luo Cheng was thoughtful.

"Well, be careful."
