Chapter Eighty-Five: The Troubles of Protecting Children

Outside the city of Pyongyang, the main camp of the Sui army was in a wilderness ten miles south of the city, and thousands of camp tents were densely packed and stretched for several miles.

There are huge trees around the camp, the side of the giant wood is inlaid with all kinds of sharp stakes and sharp blades, three layers inside and three layers outside, the camp is tightly encircled, there is a lookout tower every dozens of steps, the guard tower is several zhang high, standing on the sentry tower, you can take in the situation within ten miles around the camp!

In the main general's camp, there are three generals in armor, and the three of them are relatively similar in appearance, all of them have a square face, a full beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and they look particularly rough and tough!

Among them, the general who looks older is the main protector of the Sui army, he is more than forty this year, more than eight feet tall, broad shoulders, and very developed muscular arms.

The other two are his sons, the twenty-eight-year-old General Lai Kai, and the twenty-six-year-old General Lai Cheng! Both of them are generals of a hundred battles, and they have been listening to orders under their father's account for more than ten years, fighting in the south and fighting in the north, and have made great contributions to the great fame of the Great Sui!

At this time, Laihu'er was pacing back and forth in front of the map, his expression was a little worried, a little anxious, and Laikai and Laiquan stood behind him, watching silently, with the same worried and anxious expression on their faces!

"Father, it's been seven days since the army arrived in Pyongyang City, and if you don't attack the city again, the Holy Lord probably won't be able to wait!"

"Big brother is right! The army has rested for a few days, the strength of the soldiers has recovered, and if the city is not attacked again, I am afraid that the Holy Lord will blame my father! ”

"Kai'er, Quan'er, what you say, the father understands! This time, the Holy Lord asked me to run thousands of miles to besiege Pyongyang City, just to win this battle of Zhenggao as soon as possible, and then return to the territory of the Great Sui to suppress the rebels and bandits in the territory! ”

"Now the rebels in the territory are rising one after another, the rebels' sphere of influence is rapidly expanding, and the situation is extremely critical! My father also wants to take Pyongyang City as soon as possible. ”

Laihu'er turned to look at the two of them and sighed, "However, my father received news two days ago that there is an army of more than 10,000 people in Nampo County, a hundred miles southwest of Pyongyang City. ”

"Two days ago, they took over the camp of the water and are now training the water army! My father is worried that they are the back-hands left outside Pyongyang City, and they want to sneak attack our Chinese army camp when we attack Pyongyang City! ”

"Father, why don't we send troops to destroy this army first, and then besiege the city of Pyongyang! This army is in the camp of Hunshui, there is no city wall to defend it, and with the courage and elite of our soldiers, they should be able to destroy them soon! If not, we can burn down their camp with a single fire! ”

"It's useless! According to the scouts, this army is very elite, and even if we raid them, it will be difficult to eliminate them quickly! ”

Lai Hu'er looked at the map and pointed to the area of the camp of Hyunshui, "We are located between Pyongyang City and the camp of Hyunshui, there is no dangerous level between the three, no matter which side we attack, the other side can quickly send troops to support, and then we will be attacked on both sides!" ”

"And this army is a naval army, and there are a large number of warships in the camp of the water camp, even if we burn down their camp, they can evacuate from the water! The Hunshui River leads directly to Pyongyang City, and they can also quickly support Pyongyang City from the waterway! ”

After speaking, Lai Hu'er didn't speak again, his expression was a little regretful, a little lonely, the warship in the camp of the water was once his own!

During the first expedition to Goguryeo, as the chief general of the naval army, he led more than 100,000 naval troops to attack Pyongyang City from the waterway. It's a pity that he was careless, not only the lives of more than 100,000 sailors and soldiers, but even thousands of sailor warships were left to the Goguryeo army!

Laihu'er looked at the map, sat down at the main seat of the camp, and didn't speak again for a long time, and his face became even deeper and more depressed!

Lai Kai and Lai Cheng didn't speak, and for a while, the camp tent was quiet, and the atmosphere became a little heavy!

Suddenly, a soldier trotted in, "Report to the General!" There was a scribe named Du Ruhui outside the camp! He claimed to be an old acquaintance of the general in Donglai County, and wanted to ask to see the general, saying that there was something important! ”

Du Ruhui? I was very surprised, and I had some doubts in my heart, wasn't he in the Donglai Allied Army, how could he come to Goguryeo?

When I looked up, I saw that my father and eldest brother were looking at me, and I nodded, "I know a literati named Du Ruhui, who I met in Donglai County when I withdrew from Goguryeo to the territory of the Great Sui before!" However, he is from the Dongnae-gun Confederate Army, and I don't have much contact with him, so I don't know how he ended up in Pyongyang City! ”

Regarding the affairs of the alliance army in Donglai County, Lai Hu'er and Lai Kai did not say too much, because they both knew about the affairs of the alliance. As early as when Laicheng returned to Luoyang, the eastern capital, from Donglai County, Laicheng had already told them what happened in Donglai County in private!

"In that case, then he should be in Donglai City! A civilian rebel army, what did he come to Pyongyang to do? Could it be that their allies have also come to Pyongyang? The three of them were very puzzled, and Lai Kai guessed to himself a little!

Lai's eyes lit up, and he looked at Laihu'er and said, "It's really possible!" Father, I'd better invite him in and see you! Even if it wasn't for the allies coming, this Du Ruhui was worth seeing! He is a very talented man, and he may be able to offer us a good plan to capture the city of Pyongyang! ”

"Then meet him!" Lai Hu'er thought about it, felt that Lai Cheng said it well, and waved his hand at the soldier who reported the news, "Go and invite him in!" ”

"Yes!"

Soon, the messenger soldiers brought Du Ruhui in!

Du Ruhui saluted to Laihu'er and said, "Ruhui has seen the general!"

Lai Hu'er looked at Du Ruhui, looked up and down, and his face did not move, "Do you know General Ben?" ”

"Yes!" Du Ruhui hugged his fists at Laihu'er, and said with a smile: "Although Ruhui is the first time to see the general, but for the general's prestige, I have long heard of it!"

"The general has been fighting in the south and the north for decades, and has made a great name! Whether it is for the unification of the Great Sui or for the expansion of the territory of the Great Sui, he has made countless contributions, and is the leading general and hero of the Great Sui! Ru Hui has always admired the general, and he has been friends for a long time, and he has long looked forward to seeing the general's majesty one day! ”

"The general teaches his sons well, a family of twelve sons, a tiger of the general, a literary and martial arts, all of them are pillars of the country! Especially General Laikai, General Laihong, and General Laiquan, the three of them followed the general to fight against foreign races, and they also made a great reputation! ”

After speaking, Du Ruhui hugged his fists and saluted to Lai Kai and Lai Cheng respectively, "Ruhui has seen General Lai Kai and General Lai Cheng!" ”
