Chapter 79 Good News Arrives

Compared with the massacre by Fengtian Army cavalry in Goguryeo, the war in Liaoyang City was rare and peaceful for a few days.

Of course, this kind of calmness is only relative to the fierce collisions in the past few days. It can be said that the small-scale conflicts have never stopped, but the casualty rate has dropped. After all, no matter what kind of army insists on the casualty method like some time ago,

It won't be long.

In the Fengtian Army camp, Xu Kang and dozens of guards completed their daily routine patrols and then returned to his tent.

With the help of Gong Yinglian and Ci Mei, Xu Kang took off his armor with difficulty, stretched his aching arms, and said hurriedly: "Bring me my iced sour plum soup quickly."

Ci Mei heard this and handed him a bowl of soup angrily.

Xu Kang drank it all in one gulp, then breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed: "These rich people will still enjoy it. I didn't expect that there would be ice cubes to drink in this season. Yao Guang's gift was too much for me."

."

Ci Mei rolled her eyes at him and said disdainfully: "It's rare but strange. We used to have our own ice cellar in Gong's house. What's so strange about this kind of thing."

Xu Kang's eyes widened, he looked at Gong Yinglian and asked: "Really?"

Seeing Gong Yinglian nodding, Xu Kang shouted: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? If we had told you earlier, we would build one, and this summer wouldn't be so sad."

Ci Mei said angrily: "Since the two of us followed you, we have lived a life of fighting and wandering. Even if I ask you to build an ice cellar, can you use it?"

Xu Kang was speechless for a moment, then he grabbed one hand of each of them and said affectionately: "I'm sorry for you, but don't worry, when one day I become rich, the first thing I will do is to build an ice cellar for you."

This was the first time that Ci Mei was molested by Xu Kang like this. She was slightly stunned, then randomly got angry and kicked her out, saying: "Who cares about your things and dares to take advantage of me? You are really getting bolder and bolder."

With that said, he was going to chase Xu Kang.

Xu Kang dodged while teasingly saying: "Have I not taken advantage of you enough? Besides, who else dares to take advantage of you besides me?"

Ci Mei was even more furious when she heard this, and even threatened to fight Xu Kang to death.

Gong Yinglian only felt a headache for these two guys who seemed to never grow up. While trying to dissuade Cimei, she said to Xu Kang: "Don't always act like this. No matter what time it is, you still want to find a way to defeat the enemy."

Policy is the right thing to do."

"I have thought of the strategy to defeat the enemy a long time ago and have already sent it out." Xu Kang said lazily.

Gong Yinglian frowned and thought for a while and said, "You are talking about Xian Yufu's three thousand cavalry."

"That's right." Xu Kang said: "He is my unique weapon to defeat the enemy."

Ci Mei was originally very aggrieved by Gong Yinglian for discouraging her from taking revenge, but she did not dare to disobey the young lady's wishes. She was sulking alone with tears in her eyes. At this time, she heard Xu Kang's boastful words and immediately sneered: "I can't fight head-on.

It's just a dirty trick. What's there to be proud of?"

Xu Kang was not angry and said with a smile: "That's because you don't understand. The so-called way of war is to use the right combination to win by surprise. What it means is that you must be surprised to defeat the enemy."

Gong Yinglian was afraid that the two of them would argue again and again, so she said: "Even if we have this extraordinary army, the number is too small after all. How can we defeat this tens of thousands of Goguryeo troops?"

Xu Kang shook his head and said: "The beauty of using the battlefield is nothing but concentration. I believe Xian Yufu will not let me down."

Ci Mei immediately sneered: "It turns out you still have to rely on others."

Xu Kang said proudly: "Yes, a good commander must be good at using the wisdom of every general around him. As the saying goes, one person can calculate the shortcomings and three can calculate the strengths."

Ci Mei was absolutely disgusted with Xu Kang's shamelessness. Just as she was about to say something sarcastic, there was a voice from outside.

"Report." A soldier reported outside: "General Xian Yufu has sent urgent military information."

Xu Kang was shocked and said hurriedly: "Pass it in quickly."

A messenger came in under the guidance of Xu Kang's bodyguard, knelt down on one knee and carried a letter.

Xu Kang quickly took it, opened it and browsed it hastily, then looked at it carefully again, and then said with a sigh: "It's a big deal." Then he said to the messenger: "Go down and have a good rest."

"yes."

After everyone retreated, Ci Mei finally couldn't help but said: "What on earth happened?"

Xu Kang did not show off and said directly: "News came from Xian Yufu that he has captured the inner city and is currently fighting in various parts of Goguryeo. He said that he will eliminate as many of the enemy's effective forces as possible."

Gong Yinglian said happily: "Great, the Goguryeo army will have to retreat. What should we do now?"

Xu Kang smiled and said: "Of course I have to take a good rest and wait for the opportunity to give them the final blow."

Gong Yinglian said with some worry: "But can we just wait? We have to make some preparations."

Xu Kang shook his head and said: "We are the main army, and our purpose is to contain the enemy's army. And after these few days of testing, both sides have already occupied the positions that are most beneficial to them, and they are waiting for the other side to make the first move."

"It can be said that whoever strikes first at this time will suffer the consequences, because the more you do, the more flaws will be exposed. So the best way now is to stay still and cope with the changes."

Gong Yinglian was silent after hearing this.

At this time, Ci Mei suddenly said: "But the commander-in-chief of Goguryeo is not an idiot. Since we can send surprise troops to harass their rear, why can't they also send surprise troops to sneak attack Liaodong?"

Xu Kang said: "Running thousands of miles and going deep into the enemy's territory sounds very majestic and exciting, but it is not so easy to do. I think back when I led more than a thousand cavalry to fight in the Central Plains, and the journey was no less than ten thousand miles, but I never dared to go deep into it.

Go to the area ruled by the imperial court. This is because I know that once you go deep into the enemy's territory, you will become a completely alone army. You will not get any support. Once the opponent grasps the direction of your action, then

There is only a dead end."

"Isn't Xian Yufu very dangerous?" Ci Mei asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem with Yao Hu here. Through his plan, I have already seen that he may be more familiar with Goguryeo than the Goguryeo people."

"How is that possible?"

"Don't forget this sentence. The person who knows you best will always be your enemy. In order to take revenge on Goguryeo, Yao Hu has been keeping an eye on them for several years. I am afraid he has already known the situation in Goguryeo clearly.

"Xu Kang thought for a while and said: "Not only do we have to rely on him to lead this cavalry raid, I am afraid that we will also be unable to defeat Goguryeo without his help in the future."
