Chapter 531: Goryeo’s Bad Habits
"General, our army suffered heavy losses. More than 200 soldiers were killed and nearly 2,000 were injured. The enemy did not leave any bodies behind so we cannot count them, but we estimate that they have lost thousands."
Xue Rengui listened to the statistician's report and nodded.
"Record the names and achievements of all the soldiers who died in the battle, and send them back to Luoyang. We must not let these soldiers die in vain!"
"promise!"
Watching the messenger retreat, Xue Rengui turned around and looked at Yuwen Chengdu who had returned.
"How is the rear army preparing?"
"The Xianzhen will arrive within a day, and the others can arrive in two days at most." Yuwen Chengdu said casually while sitting on the ground.
"I plan to change my plan!" Xue Rengui also looked into the distance.
"Attack Sanyang City? Are you so confident?" Yuwen Chengdu looked up at Xue Rengui, his expression showing a hint of caution.
"Military Advisor Jia has sent a message from Sword Saint Wang Yue himself. The Hu people from the grasslands have invaded Goryeo on a large scale. We can use them to burn, kill and loot, and our mission is to lock down Sanyang City!"
Xue Rengui gave Jia Xu's superstition to Yuwen Chengdu for inspection.
Yuwen Chengdu verified the authenticity and found that it was indeed the real thing. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Five hundred thousand Hu people? Do you mean to kill with a borrowed knife? Can the Hu people take over this city?"
After hearing Yuwen Chengdu's question, Xue Rengui nodded.
"It doesn't matter. With us here, as long as these barbarians obey, it won't be a problem to capture Sanyang City!"
"Good idea. All the dead are Hu people. We can attack Goryeo and consume the Hu people at the same time. It's really a good idea!" Yuwen Chengdu didn't regard the Hu people as human beings at all. He just thought about it for a moment and then he suddenly understood.
"Let's do it this way. The dead Hu people are the good Hu people!" Yuwen Chengdu said with a smile.
He also belongs to the iron-blooded faction and highly respects Gongsun Zan's theory. He believes that garbage like the Hu people would be better used as fertilizer.
Next day
Lu Bu, Gao Shun and the Xianzhen Camp arrived at the camp and were a little curious when they saw that Xue Rengui had not left.
"What happened? Didn't you say you were going to go around it?" Lu Bu asked with a frown. The most feared thing on the battlefield was these accidents, which could very likely disrupt the entire situation.
"Last night, the enemy's elite troops launched a night attack, but they changed their mindset after the fight," Xue Rengui explained.
"What happened? Is the enemy strong?"
Lu Bu was full of doubts. He was also a veteran in the army. The camp had obviously not been attacked, so why would he change his plan?
"On the contrary, the enemy is very weak. When the main force arrives, we can take the city in one fell swoop!" Xue Rengui shook his head and said.
"Very weak? We should have sent you the intelligence we got before. The enemy has nearly 100,000 people. Could they all be miscellaneous soldiers?"
Lu Bu was a little surprised. Didn’t the Mirror Spirit say that there were tens of thousands of troops stationed in this city? How come it was so weak? Could they be all miscellaneous soldiers?
"That's not the case. Military Advisor Jia has brought new news!" Xue Rengui handed Jia Xu's letter to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu took a look at it, then handed it to Gao Shun. He was very self-aware. Although he was good at fighting, he was not as good as Gao Shun in leading troops and strategies.
"You mean, use these Hu people to attack the city and use these Hu people to plunder?" Gao Shun asked coldly.
"yes!"
"Okay! We have no objection. Leave the Sheep God and the so-called Divine Guards to us!" Gao Shun looked at the Hu people mentioned in the letter, without being moved at all.
They had no objection to using the Hu people as dogs. After all, the ones dying were not their own people, so the more they died, the better.
They all knew that the losses of the Hu people would not be less than tens of thousands, but they didn't care, they were just the Hu people.
"Does anyone here have the ability to command so many people?" Gao Shun immediately asked. "Over 500,000 soldiers, I'm afraid no one here can do it, right?"
"We just need to organize the core and let the other Hu people play freely." Xue Rengui shook his head.
What kind of organization is it? They will be cannon fodder anyway. Just let them go up and consume the resources of defending the city. Wait until tens of thousands of people are killed or injured, and then send elite troops to attack the city. Wouldn't that be great?
"good!"
Xue Rengui's crazy plan did not move anyone involved.
Again, what kind of people are the Hu people?
Another thing is that someone like Lu Bu killed at least 8,000 Hu people, and he led troops to slaughter countless Hu tribes. He used the Hu people as cannon fodder and had no pressure at all.
Hua Xiong and others who arrived later heard about Xue Rengui's plan and naturally agreed with it wholeheartedly, and also contributed all the Korean militiamen who were forcibly conscripted.
Use the Goryeo militia to attack Sanyang City first and consume them first.
There are endless young and strong people dying in other people's countries, so using Koreans to rule Goryeo is indeed a good idea.
In the minds of the Han Dynasty, Han people > Hu people > Goryeo.
Goryeo, which dared to launch a large army to attack the Han Dynasty, is now regarded by the Han Dynasty as inferior to the surrounding barbarians.
The mixed Hu people have more or less survived to the present day, and in name they are all considered the younger brothers of the Han Dynasty. Although they are not very obedient most of the time, they are still the younger brothers of the Han Dynasty and there is a basis for cooperation.
But Goryeo is different. It is an enemy that has really opened its mouth to attack Youzhou. There is no possibility of any mercy.
Especially along the way, the impression that Gaoli left on them was basically so strong that they could not feel any sympathy for her.
When a group of people give up on themselves and crawl at the feet of gods, they are no longer considered human beings in the eyes of the Han Dynasty.
People should stand tall and upright.
When the plan began to be implemented, everyone was extremely disappointed.
The Goryeo soldiers who were obviously forced to be recruited were extremely hard-working when looting other Goryeo villages.
There was even a situation where some Goryeo soldiers fought each other because of the uneven distribution of loot, and there was not a trace of friendship between them.
All the generals watched these Goryeo soldiers burning, killing and looting, and they had no thoughts about the country of Goryeo at all.
"Are they really human?" Lu Bu looked with cold eyes at the Goryeo soldiers who began to burn and kill the village.
"Who knows? They are no different from animals. I want to kill them! " Gao Chong said coldly.
They are more disgusting than the Hu people. They are submissive and respectful when facing them, but behave ugly when facing people from their own country.
It would be fine if it was just simple murder and robbery, but these Goryeo soldiers would even torture, rape, and even eat people, and even enjoy killing.
If these people were Hu people, perhaps Lu Bu and his men could still tolerate them. After all, they were not from the same ethnic group, so it would not be surprising what they did. But they were from the same country and spoke the same language.
Lu Bu could no longer hold back and wanted to take action. These Korean soldiers really disgusted him.
He really didn't understand why it was so natural for some people to become dogs, as if they were born to be like this. Lu Bu couldn't accept it, nor did he want to accept it.
“Die!”
Lu Bu couldn't help it after all.
"Boom~"
A huge halberd shadow flashed by, leaving only a bottomless pit in its place.
