On the south bank of Beishui, just opposite the city of Pyongyang, the camp tent where the Goguryeo army was stationed stretched for more than ten miles, and the battle was fierce here, and nearly 100,000 troops had been stationed here for more than two months.

Their capital Pyongyang, which is separated by a river, was surrounded by the Sui army, and they could only watch from the other side, for more than two months, although Yuan Taizuo tried countless ways to cross the river, but in the face of the Sui army's powerful water army, they were helpless, and could only wait and wait.

"Master Mo Lizhi, we can't wait any longer, otherwise once the army runs out of food, the consequences will be unimaginable." Gao Huizhen broke the silence in the tent and said what everyone was most worried about.

It's funny to say, Yuan Taizuo's army is obviously fighting in their own territory, and the south bank of Beishui is one of the few large-scale grain-producing areas on the Korean Peninsula, and now they are facing the threat of food shortage.

When the Sui army came, it happened to be the season when the summer grain was about to be harvested, after the Goguryeo naval army was defeated, in the face of the murderous warships of the Sui army on the Beishui, the Goguryeo people along the coast fled one after another, except for a small part of the grain on the south bank plain was harvested by the Sui army, and after the arrival of Yuan Taizuo's army, most of the grain had been rotted in the ground, and the grain on the south bank of the Beishui plain was lost, although the other areas controlled by Yuan Taizuo now have hundreds of miles, most of them are mountainous, how can they meet the consumption of more than 100,000 people?

"What if you don't wait, can General Gao find a way to cross the river?" Yuan Taizuo said lightly.

Gao Huizhen's mouth opened, but he still didn't say what he thought, with the Sui army's sailors watching, it was impossible to cross the river, and now he saw that he would run out of food in more than ten days, and retreating from the army was the best choice, but the other side was the capital, and the king and the civil and military officials were in the city. Who dares to easily say the words of retreating.

Seeing that Gao Huizhen was speechless, Gao Jianwu said: "Lord Mo Lizhi has always been extremely wise, since adults can't think of a way to cross the river, Xiao Wang believes that others can't think of a way, rather than the useless army stationed here, it is better to take a detour to the Dafeng Mountain Range, and it seems to be stronger to wait here." ”

"That's right, that's what the last general means, detour to the Omine Mountains." Seeing Gao Jianwu supporting him, Gao Huizhen's spirit was shocked. hurriedly added.

Yuan Taizuo was silent, and wanted to make a detour to Pyongyang via the Daebang Mountain Range, which was still possible when he first arrived, when the military rations were sufficient. Supplies are abundant, and even if the mountain roads are difficult, it may not take months to reach Pyongyang, and now there is no more than ten days of grain and grass left in the army. If you want to take this road to Pyongyang again, you are just looking for death.

Gao Jianwu, Gao Huizhen and others naturally had other intentions, the army passed through the Dafeng Mountain Range, and wanted to survive. The grain-producing regions in the north must be occupied first. At that time, the army will have no chance to relieve the siege of Pyongyang, and if Pyongyang is breached, there will only be another king, and Gao Jianwu is undoubtedly the best candidate. For Gao Jianwu's ambition, Yuan Taizuo's heart was full of disgust, and the Yuan family had been in the position of Goguryeo Mo for several generations, unless he wanted to go further. Otherwise, the power is really at its peak. There is no need for Yuan Taizuo to betray the current king, but he is also unwilling to offend Gao Jianwu. After all, Gao Jianwu did not have a naked rebellion, and if Pyongyang was captured, it would undoubtedly be the best choice to set up Gao Jianwu as the king.

Yuan Taizuo sighed tiredly: "Lord Wang, several generals, is it forced to make a detour, or wait for another five days, if you can't think of a way to cross the river, it's not too late for the army to make a detour." ”

The faces of everyone in the tent suddenly became rich, they didn't find a way for two months, what is the use of waiting for another five days, knowing that Yuan Taizuo still chose to compromise, several loyal generals wanted to persuade but didn't know how to persuade them, but the others were elated, they didn't want to wait until the military rations were exhausted before being chased and killed by the Sui army.

"Since Lord Mo Lizhi said so, then we will wait for another five days."

As soon as Gao Jianwu's words fell, everyone knew that these meetings were over, and everyone was about to disperse, when a chaotic footsteps came from outside the tent, and then a soldier rushed into the tent, everyone was shocked, who ate the leopard's gall and dared to break into the boss's big tent?

Everyone hurriedly looked at the person who came in, and found that the person who came in was just an ordinary soldier, and they couldn't help but secretly call this soldier bold, and all their eyes turned to Yuan Taizuo again, to see what he did with the person who came in?

"Bastard, who are your subordinates, dare to storm the big tent, where are the guards?" Yuan Taizuo was also puzzled, in order to prevent the content of the military discussion from leaking, all the guards had to be isolated ten steps away from the camp tent, but they didn't expect them to be negligent enough to let people in.

The soldiers who came in had a panicked expression on their faces, and when they heard Yuan Taizuo's words, they knelt on the ground in fright, and said in a trembling voice: "Back to my lord, emergency military situation, they ...... They landed. ”

"Ashore?" Everyone listened inexplicably, and was about to ask more questions, when another chaotic footsteps sounded, and two angry soldiers rushed in, grabbed the neck of the previous soldier and dragged him out, and kept pleading: "My lord, the little one should be damned, I let this person trespass into the tent for a while, please punish the adult." ”

"Slow, let him make it clear what has landed." Yuan Taizuo stopped his two personal guards from dragging down the soldiers who had broken in earlier, and the two personal soldiers heard the words of the commander, so they had to put down their hands that were holding the neck of the intruding soldiers, and stayed aside and did not dare to move.

The neck was pinched, and he coughed a few times before the soldier replied: "It's the Sui army, they are going ashore." ”

This time, all the generals heard it clearly, and they were all shocked in their hearts, the Sui army had the advantage of a naval army, and if it wanted to fight, it would be fought, or it would not be fought, and the strange thing was that for more than two months, the Sui army had not launched even one attack on them, and Goguryeo from top to bottom thought that the Sui army was afraid of their powerful team, although they didn't care about seeing the Sui army increase its troops several times, if it wasn't for the fact that the military rations could not support it, they would not have thought of the problem of withdrawing the army, could it be that they just wanted to withdraw the army, and the Sui army would kill them ashore?

"Let's go, go out and have a look."

All the generals couldn't stay any longer, so they walked out of their tents, took the soldier who had made the report, and ran on horseback towards the shore of Beishui, but when they reached the river, they saw that the river was quiet, and no one landed except for the patrolling Sui ships.

"Where, where did they land?"

"Lord Mo Lizhi, they are below, more than ten miles below." The soldier hurried back.

"Let's go, go down." Everyone turned their horses' heads again and walked down the riverbank, but after walking for a few miles, they had already received several reports from scouts that the Sui army was landing on the shore, and everyone did not dare to slack off, but even more desperately whipped the horse's back and ran downstream.

After running for a few more miles, everyone hurriedly stopped and stared blankly at the boats coming and going in the Beishui River. The once wide Beishui River suddenly became very narrow, and the entire river surface was occupied by large and small generals, and the distance between boats seemed very small, as if you could directly cross the boat from the south bank to the north bank.

In the past few months, the Goguryeo generals have been immune to the Sui army's warships sailing on the Bei River, but this time it is still rare for so many ships to be crowded together, and if you look closely, you can find that there are significant differences from the past, this time there are many small boats in the river, most of the boats can only carry dozens of people, and there are very few ships that can carry hundreds or even thousands of people.

All the generals became angry, how many people did the Sui army come?

"No, they are not Sui Army, look at their banner." A sharp-eyed general shouted.

Everyone took a closer look, and what was floating on it was indeed not the flag of the Sui army, but the flags of Baekje and Silla, and everyone's faces were even more ugly, what does this mean? It means that the Sui army really colluded with Baekje and Silla.

"My lord, what should I do, do you want to fight?"

As soon as the ship docked, they jumped off the boat and immediately lined up on the shore.

"To fight, or not to fight?" Yuan Taizuo hesitated in his heart, if not all the soldiers were the people he brought from the front line, he really suspected that there were spies of the Sui army in his army, and he had just decided to leave, and the coalition forces of Silla and Baekje would soon begin to land, if it was in the past, he would definitely attack without hesitation, but at this time, is it necessary to fight again before leaving, not to mention that it is still Silla, the people of Baekje?

Gao Yanshou looked at Yuan Taizuo's hesitant face strangely, and struck halfway, what else needs to be considered: "My lord, when you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it, whether he is a Sui dog, or a Baekje, or Silla dog, anyway, as long as you dare to go ashore, you will beat them down." ”

Yuan Taizuo was shocked when he heard this, and understood that if the two coalition forces were allowed to go ashore, they just wanted to get out and couldn't walk, so they turned their horses' heads: "Go back, immediately attack Yuan Taizuo Soon after returning to the camp, a team of 5,000 cavalry has been prepared, and the rumbling hooves sounded, and a puff of smoke and dust quickly rushed towards the direction where the two coalition troops landed.
