When the emperor personally led the army to the battlefield, it was already the next day, the battlefield had been cleaned up, the corpses on the shore had been dug and buried, and the corpses in the river had no way for the time being, but fortunately, the weather had become cold now, and there was no need to worry about the corpses decomposing quickly, but the smell of blood on the battlefield could not be concealed, and the brown and black blood clots were clotted everywhere, and the fresh grass here would definitely grow very lush next year.

What the Sui army has to do now is to escort the prisoners, not only more than 20,000 regular soldiers of Goguryeo in this battle, but also more than 100,000 ordinary people who followed the rear of the Goguryeo army and did not have time to escape have all become prisoners, a Sui army is usually responsible for escorting more than a dozen people and more than 20 people, the arrival of the army led by the emperor just alleviated the difficulty of the insufficient number of escorts, but Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong and others worked hard to come but did not get a fight, and they were disappointed in their hearts.

When he heard that the emperor was coming, Yu Zhongwen hurriedly put down his affairs and came to Yang Yong's carriage and saluted Yang Yong: "Weichen see the emperor, long live the emperor!" Banzai! Hooray! ”

"No courtesy, Aiqing has worked hard." Yang Yong looked at Yu Zhongwen's somewhat haggard face, said gently, and couldn't help but point to the Sui army coming in and out of the dense forest in the distance and asked, "What are these people doing?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it was the soldier who searched for the enemy's leader." Yu Zhongwen replied and explained the escape of Yuan Taizuo, Gao Jianwu and others. Gao Huizhen, beggar Zhonghu, Yizhi and other senior officers mostly died in the army, although there were many prisoners in the Sui army, there were no people who could handle it, and Yu Zhongwen naturally would not let go of the search.

Yang Yong nodded: "Very good, I don't know if there are enough people?" ”

Yu Zhongwen was overjoyed: "I am asking for the emperor's support." ”

This dense forest is vast, dozens of miles long and several miles wide, and Yu Zhongwen is worried about the lack of manpower. It's just that there are too many prisoners, and they have to be searched by a small number of people. Half a day was only a small part of the search, and now with the support of the people brought by the emperor, the number of Sui troops searching in the dense forest suddenly increased tenfold. It reached more than 10,000 people.

All of a sudden, the wild beasts in the dense forest ran wildly, and the wild pheasants flew wildly, but what made these livestock desperate was that there were human figures everywhere, not to mention wild beasts, even wild pheasants could not fly out of the scope of the Sui army's search, and finally became the prey of the soldiers who entered the forest to search for sheep. After a while, news came one after another that the Goguryeo soldiers who had been found hiding in the forest were found in the front, and the soldiers behind were even more frantically searching.

A group of figures stumbled into the depths of the forest. The one in the middle has a graceful figure, revealing a beautiful neck. At first glance, it is the body of a woman. There were people on both sides to protect her, lest the branches on both sides scratch her.

This group was none other than Kindman, the Seondeok princess of Silla, who had planned to take advantage of the battle between the Sui army and the Goguryeo army to sneak away. Who knew that the 50,000 army of Goguryeo was defeated so quickly, and it was all annihilated in less than a day, she had to hide in the dense forest, but she encountered the Sui army searching the forest on a large scale, and Jindeman had to flee in a hurry with his subordinates.

At this time, there were only about twenty of her men with her, and the others were scattered during the battle between the two armies yesterday. Listening to the rustling sound coming from behind, everyone scolded in their hearts: "Damn Goguryeo." It's useless. Why did you flee into the woods, let them suffer in vain? ”

It's just that scolding is useless at this time. The Sui army chased closer and closer, and the target of more than 20 people was undoubtedly a bit big, and they didn't have time to cover it, and the traces of walking in the dense forest were clearly visible.

"Stop, the people in front of you stop." The Sui army behind them saw their figures and shouted.

With such a shout, Princess Seondeok walked faster, and there was no need to remain secret, and the forest was suddenly full of rustling footsteps and the shouts of the Sui army behind her.

I don't know how long it took, Princess Shande only felt that her legs were getting heavier and heavier, she was not a weak woman, on the contrary, she was stronger than many men, since she led the army at thirteen o'clock, she had never shouted tired in front of her subordinates, but at this time she really felt tired, the 60,000 army was defeated in one fell swoop, and the pursuers behind were in hot pursuit, she had never walked such a long road with her feet, if it weren't for the pride of being the commander in chief and the fear of falling into the hands of the Sui army, she would rather sit down and not leave.

"Oops" stumbled, Princess Seondeok almost fell to the ground, and couldn't help but scream.

The two pro-soldiers hurriedly supported Princess Seondeok, and one of them couldn't help but say, "Princess, why don't you take a rest?" ”

The Sui army behind seemed to be far away, and Princess Shande looked at her subordinates, everyone was sweating profusely, panting, and many people's clothes were in tatters by the tree skills, and they were all embarrassed, and it seemed that everyone was tired.

Despite this, Princess Seondeok still shouted, "No rest, keep going!" She knew that once she rested, she would probably not be able to walk again.

"Yes." Everyone responded weakly and began to run forward again, and the rustle of the Sui army chasing behind them could be vaguely heard, even if some people complained in their hearts, they did not dare to stop.

After walking for a while, the sound of gurgling water in front of them came, and the light became more and more sufficient, Princess Seondeok and her party were all heartbroken, as long as they reached the river, maybe they could go down the river with tools such as logging, they hurried out of the woods, but when they arrived at the mouth of the forest, everyone couldn't help but stop and look ahead.

A group of Sui troops were neatly parked outside the woods, their eyes showing a hint of play, looking at them like cats and mice, and there were several huge boats parked on the river, with the red flags of the Sui army flying high on them.

Outside the dense forest is the Nanjiang River, Zhang Shou and others are relying on the boat to transport to Goguryeo behind the grain robbery, the boats on the Nanjiang River are ready to meet Zhang Shou's team at any time, now the Sui army has broken the Goguryeo army, there is naturally no need to respond, but it is just used to catch some fish that slipped through the net.

Choking, everyone around Princess Shande subconsciously pulled out their weapons, but the shaking of their hands and feet showed the panic in their hearts, the number of Sui troops outside was not only several times that of them, but also the big boats on the river were still full of people, they had been fleeing for more than three days, and their bodies were already exhausted, even if they were one-on-one, they were not sure, not to mention that the number was so different.

Seeing the other party pull out the sword, the Sui Jun led by him smiled, raised his hand, revealing a bow and crossbow, the crossbow had been wound, the pitch-black arrow was aimed at Princess Shandeok and her party, and a cold tone came: "Put down your weapon and walk out with your head in your hands, otherwise you will die!" ”

When the Sui army finished speaking, the rest of the Sui army also picked up a bow and crossbow, and a strong murderous aura was immediately aimed at Princess Shandeok and her party, making people have no doubt: as long as they don't obey the order, the crossbow arrows in front of them will be fired immediately, shooting everyone into hedgehogs.

"Put down your weapons." Princess Seondeok's hoarse voice rang out.

With a bang, the long sword of a Silla man fell to the ground, as if it was infectious, and the rest of the people also dropped their weapons, and the Sui Jun led by him smiled at the corner of his mouth, he had already expected that it would be so, and waved his hand: "Escort them all to the ship." ”

"Slow, I'm Princess Silla, I want to see your boss." Princess Shande shouted, at this time she also had to reveal her identity, otherwise if she was a woman in the hands of the Sui army, I am afraid that life would be worse than death.

"You are the princess of Silla." The eyes of the Sui army led by him lit up.

Princess Seondeok nodded bitterly.

"Haha, I didn't expect my Wang Qing to capture a prince and a princess of a country in one day." The officer burst out laughing, his eyes full of joy.

Princess Seondeok's heart moved when she heard this, and she finally balanced a little, and Gao Jianwu was also captured.

Outside the dense forest, Goguryeo soldiers who fled into the forest yesterday were escorted out one after another, even Goguryeo's Moli Zhiyuan Taizuo was no exception, but Gao Jianwu was not captured, and the search for the forest never ended.

"Report, my lord, the navy has come to report that the prince of Goguryeo and the princess of Silla have been captured by him, and now they are going to escort the two to the city of Pyongyang and hand over the order to the emperor."

"What, Gao Jianwu fell into the hands of the navy, and there is a Silla princess."

Yu Zhongwen opened his mouth wide when he heard this, but he didn't expect that it took a long time to work, but the big fish easily fell into the hands of the navy, fortunately, he caught a Yuan Tai deceit, and he could finally give some comfort, but the emperor was obviously here, but the navy wanted to go to Pyongyang City to send the prisoners, or let them go to Pyongyang, and let the navy pick the fruits in hand, although Yu Zhongwen disdained to compete with the navy, he didn't mind letting them down once.

It was not until the ships of the navy had left that Yu Zhongwen reported to the emperor that the prince of Goguryeo and the princess of Silla had fallen into the hands of the navy, and the search operation of the Sui army ended.

That night, the Sui army was again divided into two routes, Yang Yong returned with a large army escorting the prisoners, while Yu Zhongwen continued to advance and marched towards the Hufeiling Mountains to annihilate the army guarding the Goguryeo Pass.

Carrying tens of thousands of prisoners and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people of Goguryeo, it took Yang Yong seven days to return to the south bank of Pyongyang after the original two-day journey, at this time the weather in Goguryeo suddenly turned cold, the two sides of the Beishui began to freeze, and only in the middle could the boat sail, the big ship of the Sui army hurriedly withdrew from the Beishui and returned to the sea, but the freezing of the Beishui was helpless for Pyongyang City.

Yang Yong has no time to wait for Pyongyang to break through, this imperial expedition is considered a successful completion, if you don't go, then you have to wait until the beginning of spring in March next year to return, of course this is not possible, Yang Yong only stayed outside Pyongyang for one day, ordered the generals, escorted the prisoners, boarded the big ship, and began to return to the army.
