In the vast military camp in the wilderness, Yang Guang looked calmly at the civil and military officials who crowded around and stood in the tents.
More than half a month has passed since the army was assembled, and now it is time to set off.
Goguryeo was originally a small country on the peninsula. After occupying Liaodong, it was not a strong enemy to the Sui Dynasty. However, Liaodong was a big place after all, and wars were not fought in groups. They could not swarm them all, but they had rules.
The fight between Yang Guang and the family members also started based on these rules.
"I feel that Mai Tiezhang and Ling Tian are the most suitable pioneers..."
In the silence, a voice sounded.
This is a courtier from the Ministry of War and the Zheng family.
Zheng family in Xingyang.
Yang Guang looked over with cold eyes.
The vanguard is the most dangerous at any time, and in this expedition to Goguryeo, the vanguard almost directly represented death.
"The Ministry of War has prepared 50,000 elite troops. As long as there are strong generals leading them, they will be able to break through the Liaodong portal..."
Being stared at by Yang Guangsen's cold eyes, the official was not afraid, but slowly spoke.
Fifty thousand elite......
Yang Guang's eyes narrowed. This member of the Zheng family undoubtedly gave him a multiple-choice question on behalf of the family.
Bet 50,000 elite men on Mai Tiezhang and Ling Tian to win their lives.
It seems that the two of them brought 50,000 elites to break through the Liaodong gate, and consumed the 50,000 elites who belonged to the aristocratic family.
Or they both died together in front of the Liaodong Gate.
Two people bet fifty thousand elites.
What a lot of courage.
It also shows the background of the family.
This is just for Mai Tiezhang and Ling Tian, not for the truly unparalleled warriors like Yu Juluo.
"Although the two of them are brave, Liaodong has the Liaohe River as the gateway..."
There was a slight hesitation in Yang Guang's eyes, and then he looked at the official and spoke.
The two of them bet 50,000 elite men. There was no doubt that Yang Guang was moved.
However, Yang Guang still hopes to bet a bigger bet.
"Report, Ling Tian defeated General Yuwen, defeated General Geng Yuan, defeated... all the generals were ashamed and angry..."
A loud sound came from outside the tent.
A messenger quickly arrived at the tent door.
"Your Majesty, I think Ling Tian is suitable to be a pioneer..."
Inside the tent, the official from the Zheng family smiled.
It has been two days since Ling Tian publicly challenged the generals of the entire army. With Ling Tian's persistence and the help of the family members, Ling Tian has almost swept all the generals of the army in the past two days.
By this time, Ling Tian had been promoted to a very high position invisibly, and he would definitely be selected for things like being a pioneer.
"Seventy thousand, I also recognize them as pioneers, but I feel that if you want to break through the door of Liaodong, you must have at least 70,000 elites..."
Yang Guang looked at every official in the tent, "What do you think, dear friends..."
Ling Tian, and even the Mai Tiezhang, were all under Yang Guang's command. Yang Guang, who had been a commander in chief, knew clearly that there were gains and losses.
Therefore, he ignored Ling Tian when he was promoted. Now, even if these guys want to get rid of Ling Tian and Mai Tiezhang, he will not die to protect them.
For him, using Mai Tiezhang and Ling Tian to destroy the elite of the family was a reflection of their role.
All he has to do is to infinitely magnify the value of the two of them.
"I think what your majesty said is very reasonable. If your majesty needs it, I and all the soldiers under my command can be loyal to your majesty at any time..."
In the tent, the decrepit Yu Wenshu seemed to be too old to be used anymore. He trembled and saluted, while nodding respectfully and speaking.
Just looking at Yu Wenshu's appearance at this time, it is absolutely difficult to believe that he had just led his troops to a great victory a few months ago.
Yang Guang glanced at Yu Wenshu calmly, knowing that the old minister was somewhat resentful towards him at this time.
This time, he asked the old minister to drag his whole family to Liaodong to fight for their lives.
However, Yang Guang did not regret his decision.
The noble families must be the enemies of the emperor, but now, the Yuwen family, the Dugu family...these veterans who came with him are already the new heads of the families, and their families have also been called the Yuwen family, Dugu family
Valve, this made him heartbroken.
Yang Guang had a dream in his heart to rival the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty. Therefore, he was not only heartbroken for his veterans, but also wanted these veterans with extraordinary talents to continue on with him.
However, now it seems that Yang Guang's thoughts have not been accepted by veterans such as Yu Wenshu. During this period, the attraction of aristocratic families to any family has obviously reached an incredible level, even for Yu Wenshu's talents.
Even the most talented people cannot avoid the temptation of becoming a powerful figure in their own family.
Yang Guang sighed slightly in his heart, and then looked at the other ministers.
Most of these ministers came from aristocratic families. Yang Guang wanted to add 20,000 elites, but they had to nod together. A person from the Zheng family alone was not enough to help all the aristocratic families in the Sui Dynasty make decisions.
"Mai Tiezhang and Ling Tian are both unparalleled warriors. I feel that 50,000 elite soldiers are enough..."
"I think so too..."
…………
In the tent, a group of officials from aristocratic families made eye contact and then spoke one after another.
They thought it was a good deal to bet the lives of Mai Tiezhang and Ling Tian with 50,000 elite soldiers, but with 70,000 elite soldiers, they felt that they had lost money. Mai Tiezhang may indeed be brave, and Ling Tian's talent is also good, but these two
He is only a strong general, or even a strong general who can charge into battle, not one who can stand alone, so he is not worth 70,000 elite soldiers.
"Then, I hope to see 50,000 real elite soldiers..."
Yang Guang's eyes moved slightly. Mai Tiezhang itself is not good at planning, but is only good at charging into battle. Ling Tian's performance in challenging the generals of the army in the past two days is the same as Mai Tiezhang.
In this way, no matter how strong these two people are, their effect on him is limited. After all, no matter whether it is Mai Tiezhang or Ling Tian, no one will believe that they can surpass Yu Juluo in terms of force.
So, two generals who can only charge into battle, but are not the best at charging into battle and the most powerful, are exchanged for 50,000 real elites from aristocratic families. Moreover, in the process of exchange, these two fierce generals may not necessarily die.
It's obviously a good deal.
"I will never dare to mess up anything..."
In the tent, the monarch and his ministers happily made a decision that satisfied both parties.
Not long after, Mai Tiezhang got into Ling Tian's tent.
"Tomorrow, the army will set out, and the day after tomorrow we will arrive at the Liao River. At that time, we will be the vanguard. At that time, I will be the leader, and I will rush to the other side of the Liao River first. You will be the supervisor, and you must not let any one of you die before I die.
Soldier, step back half a step... If I die in battle, you don't have to go back to the army, just leave..."
Mai Tiezhang spoke solemnly. At the end of his sentence, he hesitated slightly, then looked at Ling Tian and left a word before striding out of Ling Tian's tent.
