After the Goguryeo army attacked, they were only allowed to lose, not win, and the tactic of reducing the number of cooking fires was used to lure the Goguryeo army to Siping.
"promise!!"
Zhu Jun stepped forward and took the command arrow from Huangfu Song, then led Li Jue, Guo Si, Gao Shun, and several border generals out of the tent.
"Xu Rong!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
Xu Rong, who was called out by Huangfu Song, also stood up with a happy expression.
Huangfu Song picked up the command arrow and said in a deep voice, "I hereby appoint you as the vanguard officer, leading 10,000 soldiers of the Yuyang Affiliated Camp as the vanguard, heading east from Xuantu and heading straight for Sifangcheng, the capital of Goguryeo."
Along the way, all we need to do is clear roads through mountains and build bridges over rivers to pave the way for our army's march.
"promise!!"
Xu Rong took the command token and then strode outside.
"Ma Teng, Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Du!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
Ma Teng and the other two also stood up in unison, their eyes fixed intently on Huangfu Song.
"I hereby order the three of you to lead your troops, together with 10,000 Northern Army soldiers and 5,000 Imperial Guard reserve troops, totaling 24,000 men, to follow behind the vanguard and clear out all Goguryeo troops along the way."

The remaining troops immediately split into four groups, guarding all roads leading to Sifang City, and intercepting or ambush Goguryeo reinforcements.
"promise!!"
Ma Teng, Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Du also excitedly accepted the command token.
"The remaining generals will follow me and lead the remaining troops to set up an ambush at Siping, and together with General Zhu Jun, annihilate King Yi Xiao of Goguryeo."
"promise!!"
The generals responded loudly and then quickly walked outside.
"Hey~, Yoshizaki, what about me? What should I do?"
Seeing the crowd disperse, Liu Hong quickly called out to Huangfu Song, looking eager to try.
"Uh... Your Majesty, you only need to sit in Xuantu and command from the center."
