Chapter 404: The Wrath of the Son of Heaven
The fifth more will be sent, and 800 monthly passes will be added!
Not long after the good news of Li Yuan and Luo Yi's breakthrough of the new city was returned, the news of the defeat of the Navy Division and the Ninth Army in Pyongyang finally reached Liaodong at the beginning of September.
In front of the Liuhe Wheel Palace.
Pei Shiju and Su Wei didn't care that it was already the middle of the night, and still asked the palace guards to inform the emperor.
Yang Guang saw Pei Shiju and the others with red eyes.
"What's the urgency of waking me up so late?"
"Your Majesty, the sailors have been defeated." Pei Shiju fell to the ground and cried.
Pei Yun also couldn't afford to fall to the ground, "The Ninth Army defeated Pyongyang, then defeated Sashui, defeated Yalushui three times, and the 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Ninth Army were all defeated, and now those who have fled back to Liaodong are only Yu Wenshu and more than 2,700 horsemen under his command." ”
Yang Guang only felt that the sky was spinning for a while.
He shook his head vigorously, but he still couldn't stop the dazzle.
"Say, what the hell is going on?" The Emperor tried his best to suppress his anger.
Yu Wenshu fled back to Xincheng today, he only fled to Xincheng with more than 2,700 horsemen, and when Li Yuan saw Yu Wenshu with a cloak and a mess, he could hardly believe that this was him.
And when Yuwen said that the Ninth Army had 300,000 horses and horses, and only more than 2,700 of him were left, he was even more shocked.
While gobbling it up, Yu Wenshu made up a story.
Of course, it is not the fact that the Ninth Army went south, in his story, the reason why the Ninth Army was defeated was mainly because of Yu Zhongwen, Luo Cheng, Xin Shixiong, Xue Shixiong and others.
He said that at the mouth of the Yalu River, Luo Cheng refused to share the grain.
And also broke away from the large forces and acted alone.
It is even said that Laihu'er did not wait for them under the city of Pyongyang as planned, but marched alone, and as a result, the Goguryeo people were ambushed, resulting in the loss of 30,000 main forces after the naval division entered Pyongyang, and finally the shadow of Laihu'er was gone, resulting in the Eighth Army rushing to the city of Pyongyang after having no food available, no troops to support, and finally storming Pyongyang, and having to withdraw troops to the north when the food and grass were exhausted.
·······
In short, everything is someone else's fault, and it has nothing to do with him Yuwenshu, if it weren't for his Yuwenshu desperately bringing back this army, the 300,000 horses would be wiped out.
Li Yuan was shocked, and hurriedly sent someone to escort Yuwen Shu back to Liuhe City in Liaodong.
"What about Yuwenshu?"
The emperor's eyes are red and scary, he always can't sleep well these days, and he always has a bad premonition. As autumn cooled down, he became more and more restless day by day, and slept more and more unstable day by day. Tonight, I finally just fell asleep, but I was woken up.
"Back to Your Majesty, Yuwenshu is kneeling outside Liuhe City waiting for His Majesty to summon."
"Does he still have the face to come back? My 300,000 army is gone, and he is embarrassed to come back alone? Yang Guang was really angry, no matter how much he spoiled this old dog, he couldn't help it at this time.
"Imprison Yu Wenshu, take away all his official positions, cut off the Duke of Xuguo, and listen to the fate of the Marquis."
"Your Majesty?" Pei Yun exclaimed.
"Can't you understand me?"
"I don't dare."
Yang Guang turned around the hall a few times in despair, and finally sat on the couch, stunned, as if he had lost his soul.
"What about Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng is so capable of fighting, why didn't he act with the Eighth Army, where is he now?"
"Yuwen recounted that Luo Cheng was afraid of the battle, and the Eighth Army was defeated and could not be saved, and then disappeared."
"Fart, this old Yuwen dog, is Luo Cheng the kind of person who is afraid of war? Since the Eastern Crusade, Luo Cheng has won the most battles, I will never believe the words of this old dog, and I will interrogate those who have come back from Yuwen, I want to know what the Ninth Army has experienced. ”
The rout of the Ninth Army, this huge news of defeat, made the emperor a little overwhelmed.
Pei Shiju had to remind the emperor.
"Your Majesty, now that the Navy Division and the Ninth Army have been defeated, and now it has entered September, Liaodong is getting colder and colder, Your Majesty, are you preparing for the class?"
"Class teacher?"
Yang Guang was like a cat that had been stepped on its tail, and it exploded all of a sudden.
Now the class teacher, didn't he admit the failure of the Eastern Crusade?
Yang Guang was unwilling, he hadn't prepared yet.
"Your Majesty, we can't hesitate, the Ninth Army and the Naval Division have been defeated, if we delay any longer, the army of Goguryeo Pyongyang will come to Liaodong, and then we will be very troublesome, so it is better to retreat as soon as possible and make plans as soon as possible."
"Get out!"
The Emperor roared.
Pei Shiju and others withdrew in embarrassment.
Outside the palace.
Yu Wenshu was dragged away by several guards, and the old dog was still yelling, "I'm not leaving, I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty." ”
But the guards were like the man in the iron mask, and they didn't pay attention to the shouts of this former nobleman.
The news of the defeat of the Ninth Army and the Naval Division spread as quickly as the wind.
Just one night.
The next day, the hundreds of officials in Liuhe City and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who attacked Liaodong City all knew the bad news.
Under the city of Liaodong, there was a tragic atmosphere from top to bottom of the Sui army.
According to the plan, a large-scale siege was to be held early this morning, but the sun was out, and no one came to give the order.
The soldiers were holding knives and guns, and while they were suffering from the frost and cold of the morning in Liaodong, they were stunned. The war has come to this point, can it continue to fight?
Yang Guang stayed in the Liuhe Wheel Palace for three days and did not come out.
Nobody was seen.
Even Su Wei, Pei Shiju and others could not see the emperor.
In the past three days, there were also defeated soldiers who fled back to Liaodong one after another, and were picked up by various armies.
One after another, there were more than 30,000 defeated soldiers who fled back, and in addition to Yu Wenshu, several more generals of the Ninth Army also fled back.
As more and more generals fled, the details of Pyongyang's defeat became clearer.
Xin Shixiong died in battle.
Yu Zhongwen and Xue Shixiong retreated into Daxing City at the mouth of the Yalu River, and Daxing City was captured by Luo Cheng before the Left Fifth Army crossed the river, and sent Song Laosheng to stay behind, thanks to this city, it contained tens of thousands of defeated soldiers, and now there are about 50,000 Sui troops in Daxing City.
In addition, although Raihu'er was defeated in Pyongyang, he only lost 30,000 main forces, and then disappeared.
Luo Cheng is not afraid of war, he acted alone before, and Yu Zhongwen agreed to it. Moreover, before the Eighth Army attacked Pyongyang, Luo Cheng had already sent people to remind them not to go south to attack the city first, and let them wait for the Left Fifth Army.
As for the delay in the arrival of the Left Fifth Army, it was because Luo Cheng later discovered that the upper reaches of Sashui were building embankments and storing water to prepare for flooding the Goguryeo Army of the various armies.
And the real reason for the rout of the Eighth Army was the lack of food. Originally, the armies carried 100 days' worth of food, but when they arrived at the Yalu River, it was only a month and a half, and they had already run out of food, and as for the food, it was buried halfway by the soldiers of all armies.
More and more inside information was gathered up and finally sent to the wheel palace.
It's just that the emperor has never expressed his position and has never shown up.
Now, all the soldiers are concerned about one issue.
Luo Cheng took the main force of the Left Fifth Army, after Sa Shui and Hou Mo Chen Yi divided his troops, did he go to Pyongyang, and did he defeat Pyongyang City?
Laihu'er took 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses with the sailor, where did he go, and why did he disappear all the time?
The last question of concern is, when exactly will the emperor order the withdrawal of the army, and how will he punish Yu Wenshu and other generals of the defeated army?
