Blue sea and blue sky.

White sails dotted.

The commander of the navy, the general of the right Yiwei, the general of the Left Ninth Army and the general Zhou Fashang of the Right Ninth Army are leading 30,000 soldiers to ride the wind and waves in hundreds of boats.

On the island at the mouth of the Yalu River, a group of soldiers left here by the Left Fifth Army stood on the protruding island rock, hoping for the stars and the moon and finally looking forward to the sailor.

But this sailor did not come from the north, but from the south. Although it was a little strange, Cheng Mingzhen was still very happy.

"Quick, light the pyre, make a fire, and make a smoke."

As a Hebei man, Cheng Mingzhen doesn't like the days on this island very much, and he is very lonely every day. They all thought that they would not be able to see the sailor's ship for a while, and they had not seen anyone from Daxing City to pick them up for a long time.

Every day, apart from taking turns standing on the rocks and watching the sea, the team had to cut down trees and catch fish and cook.

The tall pyre soon burned, and in order to let the fleet at sea see clearly, Cheng Mingzhen brought people to cut down a lot of fresh branches and put them on the shelf, so the fire turned into a smoke pile.

White smoke curls and rises higher and higher.

The smoke pile here has finally attracted the attention of the sea.

Several boats came this way, and the dinghy was lowered on board.

"We are our own people, our own people."

Cheng Mingzhen held high a red flag of the Fifth Army on the Left and shook it vigorously.

The bright red military flag is very conspicuous, especially the Chinese characters on it.

The sailor soldiers who came down from the boat were still cautious, but when they saw this flag, they finally relaxed their vigilance, "It's my own people." ”

"Look at what is written on the banner is the baggage regiment of the Left Fifth Army, why did you come to this island?"

"Just go up and ask."

The two teams finally got their heads up.

"Hey, brother, I am from the baggage battalion of the Fifth Left Army, my name is Cheng Mingzhen, and I am from Hebei."

The familiar Chinese dialect of the Central Plains eliminated the last bit of vigilance of the sailor soldiers.

"Hello brother, we are a sailor, didn't your Left Fifth Army defeat Pyongyang, how did you get here, didn't you capsize on the Yalu River, and then drift down the river to this island?" A sailor soldier from Jianghuai asked.

It is said that when the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Chen Dynasty, a Sui warship encountered river fog at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and as a result, it lost its way and drifted to the sea, and finally drifted all the way to Baekje. Then Baekje saw that it was from the Central Plains Dasui, and entertained them with delicious food and drink, and finally sent them back to China.

Cheng Mingzhen stepped forward and hugged the one who led the team, and he was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

"Brother, if you don't come again, we will really have to carry a plank and go across the ocean to find you."

After some narration, the sailor brothers were surprised to learn that it was only the Eighth Army that was defeated in Pyongyang, and the Left Fifth Army did not defeat Pyongyang. These brothers didn't capsize on the Yalu River and didn't drift away, they were waiting for the sailors on this island for a long time.

"The Left Fifth Army was not defeated?"

On a building boat, Lai Hu'er saw Cheng Mingzhen, who was brought on the ship, and also heard the news that surprised him.

"Well, before General Luo took our left Fifth Army and the Eighth Army to separate and act alone, he first went down to the mouth of the Yalu River and captured Daxing City, and let General Song Ya and Yan Shou lead 10,000 people to stay behind before going south. Only later ······"

I heard that Daxing City is now guarded by 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Fifth Left Army led by Song Laosheng, and tens of thousands of defeated troops led by Yu Zhongwen and others have entered the city, and Laihu'er's heart is hot, but the news that shocked him even more was that the defeat of Pyongyang was not the Ninth Army, but the Eighth Army.

The Left Fifth Army led by Luo Cheng not only defeated Daxing City first, but also defeated Gao Jianwu tens of thousands of horses in Sashui.

"You mean, now the Marquis of Xiangyang is coming to Pyongyang with 20,000 horses?"

"Pyongyang has been killed a long time ago, and now Pyongyang may have been defeated."

At this time, Hu'er couldn't help but be embarrassed.

He took the last 30,000 main forces of the sailor division to the mouth of the Yalu River to save Daxing City, but Luo Cheng took 20,000 soldiers to Pyongyang City, and was still looking for the sailor, hoping to meet the sailor.

"What now?"

Zhou Fashang also said helplessly, "According to the time, it has been more than half a month since Luo Cheng went south from Sashui. ”

"Do you think Luo Cheng can break Pyongyang?" Lai Hu'er asked, when Luo Cheng killed Pyongyang, Pyongyang City was indeed empty of guards, and there were only a few thousand guards.

"Not necessarily, the Goguryeo people are not weak, and the city of Pyongyang is strong, especially if there is a triple city of the outer city and the inner city of Miyagi, even if Luo Cheng can capture the next one, as long as he can't take the inner city and the palace city, it doesn't make much sense."

"Let's go to Daxing City to relieve the siege first." Lai Hu'er thought about it, since they had already arrived at the mouth of the Yalu River, there was no reason to turn around and go back.

But when Laihu'er led the fleet into the Yalu River and came to the vicinity of Daxingcheng, he found that there was no siege by the Goguryeo army here, only a small number of soldiers and horses were watching Daxingcheng from a distance, and as soon as he saw the arrival of the sailor fleet, he immediately withdrew.

The sailor docks.

The gates of Daxing City opened.

Yu Zhongwen, Xue Shixiong, Song Laosheng and others went out of the city to greet them, and Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang also led the generals of the water division to meet.

When the two meet, they can't help but feel like an afterlife.

"Why are you here?"

Yu Zhongwen and Lai Hu'er said the same thing almost in unison.

"It's a long story." Laihu'er sighed.

"yes." Yu Zhongwen also sighed.

Yan Bi asked a little anxiously, "Didn't Lai Shuai meet Luo Cheng?" Although I hate Luo Cheng's teeth in my heart, after all, my daughter is pregnant with Luo Cheng's son.

"Before, I was defeated in Pyongyang, retreated to the mouth of the Pei River, and sent scouts to the vicinity of Pyongyang to inquire about the news of the Ninth Army, but I heard the news of the defeat of the Ninth Army, so in order to avoid the Goguryeo army from attacking the water division, I had to lead the army to withdraw to a large island in the sea at the mouth of the Bei River, and wait for the follow-up troops and horses of the naval division there."

"Not long ago, I heard that there were tens of thousands of horses in my Dasui here in Daxing City, so I came with 30,000 main forces.

Another miss.

"Don't you have any news from the Marquis of Xiangyang?" Laihu'er asked.

Yu Zhongwen shook his head, "Before, Gao Jianwu besieged Daxing City day and night with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and we were trapped in the city and couldn't get through to the outside at all. Just yesterday, Gao Jianwu led the troops to leave, and we were still strange, but you said it. Could it be that Gao Jianwu knew that you were coming, so he broke the siege and left? ”

"Impossible, right?" Laihu'er shook her head, "Maybe they're going to Pyongyang?" ”

"But earlier, Eulji Wendeok had already left from Daxing City with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is estimated that he was rushing to Pyongyang."

These generals also looked at each other, and they didn't know what the situation was outside, let alone where that Xiangyang Marquis Luo Cheng was now, whether he had captured Pyongyang City, or was he surrounded under Pyongyang City, or something else?
