Gao Jianwu rode a black donkey, standing on a hillside a few miles away from the Beishui (Datong River), looking into the distance, the moxibustion hot sun sprinkled on him, Gao Jianwu seemed to be unconscious and motionless. Behind him were hundreds of listless Goguryeo soldiers, half of whom were bare-handed, while the rest were armed with sharpened bamboo sticks and iron hooks for sailing, and only a few had standard knives and guns in their hands.

The city of Pyongyang has been besieged for a month, and in the past month, the Sui army has not attacked the city of Pyongyang much, but only used the water division to break into Beishui and chase and intercept the water division led by Gao Jianwu.

Beishui originated in the Langlin Mountain Range of South Hamgyong Province, more than 880 miles long, with many tributaries, Gao Jianwu originally thought that the remaining ships would be safe and sound after hiding in Beishui, who knew that the Sui army seemed to regard his remnants of the navy army of only more than 4,000 people as more important than Pyongyang, and sent a naval division to search for a section of the river, and finally blocked Gao Jianwu's fleet in the Nanjiang River, a tributary of Beishui, and the two sides had a big battle, the remaining ships of Goguryeo were destroyed by the Sui army, Gao Jianwu saw that the situation was not good, and finally fled to the shore under the desperate rescue of his subordinates, Now there are only more than 500 people left behind him of the more than 10,000 sailors he led.

At this time, it was only a day before the battle, standing on the hillside, Gao Jianwu could clearly see the driftwood floating on the shell water, and occasionally he could see a corpse flowing downstream, Gao Jianwu couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, these more than 10,000 sailors were his hard work, and now they are all in water.

A subordinate walked up to Gao Jianwu, and when he saw Gao Jianwu just looking at Jiang Shui in a daze, his mouth opened a few times and swallowed, and finally he couldn't bear it: "Lord Wang, let's go, as long as we join the army of Lord Mo Lizhi, we can take revenge." ”

Mo Lizhi is equivalent to the position of prime minister, at this time Goguryeo's Mo Lizhi is Yuan Taizuo, and Yuan Tai's eldest son is Yuan Gai Suwen, who later became the regent of Goguryeo. The Yuan family is a famous minister of Goguryeo, the previous Mo Lizhi is Yuan Tai Li's father Yuan Zili, half of Goguryeo's military and political power is almost controlled by the Yuan family, at this time Yuan Tai Liao controls more than 100,000 troops in the front line and Baekje, Silla confrontation, this army is still the strongest army in Goguryeo.

Yuan Tai's army was only more than 700 miles away from Pyongyang, and Pyongyang was besieged for a month, and Yuan Tai Shen had already received news that it would be difficult to travel on the road in a month. Yuan Tai's army had already returned, but I don't know if he had too much confidence in Pyongyang or if Yuan Tai had other plans, he received Pyongyang's request for help and did not return to the army immediately. Still on the front line and Baekje, the armies of Silla confronted.

With Beishui blocking the road ahead, they lost their boats, and it was impossible to return to Pyongyang City. Now there is only the army that has taken refuge in Yuan Tai's deceit, Gao Jianwu nodded, no longer stunned. Turn the donkey's head around. Walking down the hill, he waved his hand to the more than five hundred subordinates who were still following him: "Let's go, let's go find Lord Mo Lizhi." ”

"Yes." Hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers replied lazily, since they came ashore yesterday, for fear of being pursued by the Sui army, they discarded all the things on their bodies, and walked dozens of miles downstream. It was only in the evening that a village was found to camp. There were less than 100 people in this small village, and I heard that Brother Wang led a team to come. Everyone was terrified to take out almost all the food at home to entertain them, but at this time it was just June, and the grain was still about half a month away from harvesting, it was when the green and yellow were not received, and the food of the whole village made this team of deserters eat a half-full, and today they set off from the morning, and they marched for more than ten miles, and their stomachs were already hungry, so they naturally didn't have much energy to answer,

Goguryeo has the land west of the Liao River, there is no shortage of horses, but the peninsula is mountainous terrain, and it is not suitable for cavalry combat, horses are mostly used in Liaodong, Gao Jianwu commanded the navy, a small number of horses in the army were either drowned in the Nanjiang River or fell into the hands of the Sui army in yesterday's battle, Gao Jianwu's donkey or last night to the farmers in that small village to requisition land and livestock, everyone else naturally had to walk with their feet, and the speed of the team was extremely slow.

They are a naval army, usually take a boat to the sea, such a long-distance march is almost none, and traveled several miles, some people began to fall behind one after another, several lieutenants are secretly anxious, although they have been dozens of miles away from yesterday's defeat in the Nanjiang River, however, before the convergence with the Yuan Tai deception army, they are not safe, yesterday the Sui army only cared about taking prisoners, maybe not caring about going ashore to pursue, if you get Gao Jianwu's identity from the mouth of the captive, the pursuers will definitely track down, like this all the way to the soldiers who fell behind, it is equivalent to pointing out the direction to the pursuers, I'm afraid it won't take much time to catch up with them.

An adjutant general suggested: "Lord Wang, it can't go on like this, the minister is afraid that the Sui dogs will chase after him, for the safety of the prince, it is better to divide the team into two roads, the prince will take the elite men and horses to go first, and the remaining soldiers who can't walk may wish to rest for a while before setting off behind." ”

The eyes of the other lieutenant generals lit up when they heard this, so that they could not only protect Gao Jianwu's whereabouts, but no one would be left behind, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone, but if the Sui army chased after them, the group behind them would be dangerous, and it would be almost impossible to escape.

Gao Jianwu glanced at his exhausted subordinates, naturally knowing that if the Sui army pursued like this, it would be difficult for him to have the opportunity to join the army of Yuan Taideceit, but at the moment more than 500 people were his only remaining descendants, if he wanted to abandon half of the people, I am afraid that the other half of the people would also be cold, the deputy general's proposal was in his arms, and he was quickly afraid of the deputy general's shoulder, and his face was sincere: "In this case, this king will ask General Li, these people are all loyal and good people from my Goguryeo, General Li must bring them back safely." ”

The general surnamed Li couldn't slap himself in the mouth, he wanted to please Gao Jianwu when he was in trouble, and he would have a chance to fly in the future, but he didn't expect this errand to fall into his hands, no wonder the rest of the people heard their own proposals, their faces were happy, they thought they were smart, but they turned out to be the stupidest people.

It's just that he couldn't hesitate at this time, so he had to say with a wry smile: "Little minister Xie Wang Ye trusted." ”

After being divided into two teams, Gao Jianwu only set off with more than 200 strong men, and the rest of the people were handed over to the deputy general surnamed Li, the speed of the team really accelerated a lot, half an hour later, the two teams of people and horses have not seen each other, they are desperately rushing every day, and only stopped to eat and play when they met the village, a few days later, Gao Jianwu and his party have walked two hundred miles, leaving the other team far away, and I don't know whether the other team of people has been pursued by the Sui army.

Although Gao Jianwu has a donkey, most of the time he still has to get off the donkey and walk, and he only feels that such days are miserable.

"Lord Wang, take a break, we have already walked two hundred miles, and judging by the general, the Sui dogs will definitely not chase anymore."

Gao Jianwu looked at a towering mountain range in front of him, nearly a thousand miles long in Hengdan, this mountain range is the Hufeiling Mountain Range, and over this mountain range is the largest plain on the peninsula: the Hanjiang Plain, since Goguryeo lost the Hanjiang Plain, a major grain-producing land, it has not wanted to reoccupy it all the time, and a year ago, Goguryeo's army of Molizhiyuan Taideceit suffered heavy casualties before overcoming the pass set up by the Silla people in the Hufeiling Mountain Range and re-entering the Hanjiang Plain.

Now that once the army is withdrawn, the pass that was captured at the cost of tens of thousands of lives a year ago will be handed over, Gao Jianwu can understand Yuan Tai's feelings, no wonder Yuan Tai is reluctant to withdraw the army, presumably these days Yuan Tai has been supervising the repair of the pass of the Hufeiling Mountain Range, at least leaving a passage for Goguryeo to re-enter the Han River Plain.

As long as they arrive at Hufeiling, they will definitely be safe, but Wangshan runs dead horses, and with their current physical strength, it will take at least two days before it is possible to reach Hufeiling.

Gao Jianwu did feel that his physical strength was overwhelmed, and when he was nodding his head to rest, a sound of horses barking came from the law, and everyone was startled, and some people immediately panicked: "The Sui army is chasing, run, run." ”

The defeat of the two water battles with the Sui army, these people can be said to have become frightened birds, and they have not seen the Sui army figure to think about the situation in the worst direction, Gao Jianwu also panicked, stepped on the back of the donkey, and was about to rush to the front, a deputy general hurriedly pulled the reins, Gao Jianwu was furious, and was about to use the whip to pull the deputy general's hand away, the deputy general hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, it seems that the sound of the horse is coming from the front." ”

Gao Jianwu listened carefully, the sound of the horse was really coming from the front, and the sound of the horse's hooves was also clearly audible, his face suddenly turned pale, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Could it be that the Sui army ran to the front?" ”

"Lord Wang, not necessarily, maybe it's our people." The lieutenant said calmly.

The soldier who was about to leave just now also heard clearly that the voice was coming from the front, and suddenly stopped, looking ahead in surprise, not knowing what to do, Gao Jianwu had to issue an order: "Hide, hide." ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and went to the woods next to them, and after a while everyone had already hidden, they stretched out their heads and looked ahead, and after waiting for a long time, a group of soldiers appeared from the front, these soldiers were wearing thin linen clothes, and their feet were also wearing straw sandals, but the swords in their hands were fine, and they emitted bursts of cold light in the sun, and the team marched in moderation, making people feel a murderous aura rushing from afar, and they had the military flag given by the king of Goguryeo floating high on their heads, only for a long time and Baekje, Only the elite Goguryeo soldiers who were at war between Silla and Silla could have such momentum.

"It's our people, it's our people." The remnants of the Goguryeo naval army, who had been on the run for several days, almost burst into tears.
