In a spacious but extremely restrained and low-key tent.

In this vast camp that stretches for dozens of miles, the most luxurious tent is naturally the dragon tent of Emperor Yang Guang!

It's like a small palace.

No, that's a small palace.

It is no problem to accommodate thousands of people, there is everything inside.

It’s just because this tent was designed by Yuwen Kai!

The biography of "Book of Sui" records: "At that time, the emperor was on the north and wanted to praise Rongdi, and ordered Kai to be a big tent, and thousands of people were seated under him." Volume 180 of Zizhi Tongjian also records: "The emperor wanted to praise the Turks, and ordered Yuwen Kai to be a big tent, and could sit under him. Jiayin (15th) The emperor set up a large tent in the east of the city to prepare ritual guards, and banqueted Qimin and his tribes, and made scattered music. The Hu were shocked and fought for tens of millions of cattle, alpacas and horses." The Northern History·Emperor Yang also said: "Jiayin was on the east of the county city to enforce ritual guards, and built flags, and banqueted Qimin and his tribes to play the music of hundreds of operas."

Yuwen Kai is another legendary name.

He is the uncle of Yuwen Shu and Yuwenshang. He is older than the brothers Yuwenshang and Yuwenshang. He is the best skilled craftsman in the world.

And the second only to this dragon tent is the tent of other dignitaries.

As Yang Guang's favorite general and recognized as the number one master of the Great Sui Dynasty, Gu Xiao also had a tent nearby.

Unlike other dignitaries who are as luxurious as other dignitaries, his tent seems much low-key and does not have too much decoration, but no matter who it is, he will definitely notice this tent at first sight.

It’s just because, if what others pursue is luxury, then what Gu Xiao pursues is temperament! The tent belonging to Gu Xiao does not have much luxury, but it is impossible to underestimate it, just like him!

...

Inside the tent, the lights are brightly lit.

Although the night was already deep, Gu Xiao still had no rest.

He sat high on a magistrate chair and was discussing something with the people in front of him.

Now, in front of him, there are seven or eight people standing!

Four of them are military generals.

Two old men, one middle-aged man, and the last one is a young man!

These four people are the four major generals who have been around Gu Xiao over the years!

Han Teng: One of the four generals of Yuwen Tuo, together with Hu Luan, is known as the "Two Tiger Generals of the Taishi Mansion". He is a 60-year-old general who is still strong on the battlefield. He is a loyal retainer of the Yuwen family of the previous dynasty (Northern Zhou Dynasty). He followed and assisted Yuwen Tuo all the way. Yuwen Tuo respects this old retainer very much.

Hu Luan: One of the four generals of Yuwen Tuo, he is known as the "Two Tiger Generals of the Grand Tuo Mansion" together with Han Teng. He is tall and terrifying, but in fact he is a kind and simple big man. Hu Luan is very respectful to Yuwen Tuo and is absolutely loyal, but this also caused his own final tragic ending.

Shangguan Zhenyuan: one of the four generals of Yuwen Tuo. He was straightforward and faithfully performed his mission. He was very dissatisfied with Princess Ning Ke's behavior of entering and leaving the military camp as a royal relative.

Yang Shuo: One of the four generals of Yuwen Tuo. Yang Shuo is a young and handsome royal family member. Because he is dissatisfied with the depravity of the royal nobles, and he has always admired Yuwen Tuo's military achievements in fighting in the south and north, he abandoned his comfortable life and joined the Yuwen camp.

In the original plot, the four major generals under Yuwen Tuo's tent came to Gu Xiao's tent without realizing it.

In addition to these four generals, there are now three scribes in the tent.

These three literati should not be underestimated, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng!

Three great strategists!

These people are all confidants in Gu Xiao's mansion. Even though it is already late at night, they are still gathering with Gu Xiao and discussing some important matters.

Gu Xiao glanced at the people in front of him and said lightly: "I have received the news that Gao Yuan, the King of Goryeo, sent Prince Gao Tang away from Liaodong City, intending to harass our army. Do you think, what should we do now?"

"General, in my opinion, we just need to wait and see what changes are happening now." Han Teng said with a serious attitude, "The only thing the Goryeo people rely on now is their familiarity with the terrain. But Liaodong City is right in front of us. Once Liaodong City is captured, Goryeo will be destroyed. There is no need to worry about these people."

Hu Luan nodded and said, "General, that's what I mean."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "That may not be."

"These people are indeed only considered flies to our army, but flies are also very annoying. In my opinion, I might as well design to attract these people out and attack them at that time, which is no better than now! What's more, the head of the Prince of Goryeo is also a great contribution."

Du Ruhui nodded and said, "General, Brother Fang is very serious. Killing Gaotang and destroying these people will be a huge blow to the morale in the city."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui collectively called Fang Mo Duan, and they were the best partners.

While speaking, a suggestion was already made for Gu Xiao.

Pull the snake out of the hole and destroy this enemy!

Gu Xiao nodded and said, "Good idea, Yang Shuo, I need you now."

"General." Yang Shuo stepped out of the line.

Gu Xiao ordered: "Yang Shuo, if I remember correctly, the one who is responsible for the army's food and grass is now the Duke of Tang. You tried to leak the time Li Yuan transported food and grass several times. Then, conspired with Li Yuan to set up an ambush, lure Gao Tang and others out, and annihilate it in one fell swoop."

"Yes, general." Yang Shuo replied.

If you want to lure the snake out of the hole, you must set up a delicious bait! On the battlefield, food and grass have always been the most important materials. Without food and grass, no matter how many soldiers and horses are, they will lose their fighting spirit and completely lose their morale! Therefore, it is most appropriate to use food and grass to lure soup and others to take the bait.

But ordinary people cannot bear such a great responsibility at all.

Only by handing this matter over to Yang Shuo, who was born in the royal family, is the most appropriate.

Because everyone will be sorry for the Great Sui Dynasty, but the Yang family will not. Because, the Great Sui Dynasty belongs to their Yang family! No matter how suspicious Yang Guang is, he will not doubt his own family!

But, there is one disadvantage to doing this:

Wei Zheng, who had never spoken, said, "General, wouldn't he give me a credit to Duke Tang?"

Gu Xiao nodded and said, "I want to give him a credit."

"Okay, you all do it as agreed just now!" Gu Xiao did not explain the reason for doing this, but ordered.

"Yes." Everyone agreed in unison and retreated.

"Haha, they must have never imagined that the reason you did this was to cultivate your opponent." After everyone stepped down, another voice rang out in Gu Xiao's tent.
