Early in the morning, the northern governor's palace of Goguryeo!

Gao Yanshou, who was the governor of the north, was frowning at this time and looking at the secret letter he had just received in his hand, which was sent by Yang Wanchun of Anshi City.

The content of the letter is to ask him for help, because, at this time, Anshi City is suffering from the fierce attack of the Tang Dynasty army, and has suffered heavy losses.

This information was just received, if it weren't for Gao Yanshou recognizing Yang Wanchun's handwriting, it would be hard for him to believe that the Tang army had quietly come to the city of Anshi.

It's a bit contrary to common sense, counting it, Gao Yanshou is also a veteran of the battle array and a member of the royal family of Goguryeo, and in private he has always believed that sooner or later Goguryeo will have a war with the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, Gao Yanshou believes that such a guess should not only be made by him, but also by other people, such as Yuangai Suwen and other people with a little foresight.

It's just that even if there is a war between Goguryeo and Datang, this war should not be at this time, because Datang's main energy is still on the north, those tough neighbors.

Therefore, when Gao Yanshou saw Yang Wanchun's secret letter, he was a little suspicious, this was Yang Wanchun joking with him, how could it be possible for the Tang Dynasty at this time, ignoring the strong enemy in the north, to go on an expedition to Goguryeo?

A bit contrary to common sense, Gao Yanshou looked at the letter in his hand, and after a while, he suddenly took a breath, folded the secret letter in his hand, and looked at the others below.

At this time, in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, not only Gao Yanshou, but also other officials of the Governor's Mansion, all of them were like Gao Yanshou, frowning, puzzled.

And just when everyone in the lobby was frowning and discussing this matter, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then, one of Gao Yanshou's guards walked into the lobby quickly and handed over another secret letter to Gao Yanshou.

Within one day, connecting two secret letters, Gao Yanshou originally thought that it was another urgent letter from Anshi City, however, after he opened it and saw the content on it clearly, the whole person was stunned there.

"Someone just found hundreds of ships of the Tang Dynasty in the Liao River!" After a while, Gao Yanshou raised his head, looked at the others in the lobby, and opened his mouth with a somewhat stunned expression.

"Liaohe?" Hearing Gao Yanshou's words, the group of people who were originally frowning and looking at Gao Yanshou suddenly showed a stunned expression like Gao Yanshou, and after a while, they hesitated to speak.

"Jingguan!" Gao Yanshou shook the secret letter in his hand, looked at the people in the lobby, suddenly pouted and chuckled, and said: "The Tang people are only afraid that the real purpose is to come to Jingguan!" ”

Before, Gao Yanshou was still a little puzzled, how could the Tang people suddenly come to attack Anshi City, which was obviously a bit against common sense.

But now, seeing this secret letter, saying that hundreds of ships of the Tang Dynasty suddenly appeared, the Liao River at the end of the Ma Qi River, thought about it slightly, and immediately figured out the reason.

The Tang Dynasty's attack on Anshi City is probably just a cover, and the real purpose is probably to confuse them and divert their attention, so as to send a force of surprise soldiers to quietly destroy Jingguan

In this way, everything will be explained!

"Jingguan is a disaster!" Thinking of this, Gao Yanshou couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and felt a little resentful of Gao Jianwu.

In fact, the first time the Tang people opened their mouths to ask them for someone, the king should have taken the initiative to destroy Jingguan, and then, the Tang people came over and collected all the bones inside.

It's a pity that in order to care about his father's face, the king pretended not to know anything, but according to the intention of the Tang Emperor Li Yuan, he exchanged some prisoners of war stranded in Goguryeo with the Tang Dynasty.

As for the matter of Jingguan, although they also mentioned it, it was directly rejected by the king, which undoubtedly buried a disaster between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo.

Now, just as they had guessed at the beginning, the Tang people really sent someone over to forcibly destroy Jingguan and collect the bones of the fallen soldiers in Jingguan.

There is an essential difference between taking the initiative to destroy Jingguan and forcibly sending people to destroy Jingguan by the Tang Dynasty!

"Send someone to the king!" It's too late to say anything now, Gao Yanshou then picked up the pen and ink, hurriedly introduced the things here, and then put the folded letter paper into a bamboo tube, handed it to a guard, and said.

When the guard left in a hurry with the secret letter, Gao Yanshou looked at the people in the lobby and said: "Now, the matter has become clear, the main force of the Tang people is outside the city of Anshi, and the number of people sent here must not be much!" ”

When he said this, Gao Yanshou suddenly slammed his fist on the case, gritted his teeth and said: "So, what we have to do now is to leave these people at all costs and force the Tang people to withdraw their troops!" ”

In the Governor's Mansion of Goguryeo, there were originally 50,000 or 60,000 horses, and Gao Yanshou's words fell, and then he made urgent arrangements in the lobby.

About an hour later, Gao Yanshou personally led 20,000 horses and left from the Governor's Mansion and went straight to Cheng Chumo and the others in Ma Qishui.

And when Gao Yanshou took 20,000 Goguryeo people and went straight to Ma Qishui, Ma Yanshui here, Jingguan, who had been busy all night, was also nearing the end.

On the river of Maqishui, there is an endless stream of boats coming and going, and the bones excavated from the Jingguan are turned into wooden boxes one by one and transported back to the ships on the Liao River.

The Kyokan, which originally stood on the plain, has long since disappeared after a night of excavation, and has been replaced by a pile of waste land around the Kyokan.

At this time, the sun had risen high, and Cheng Chumo, who had just thrown down his tools and sat on the mound, was gnawing on the compressed dry food, when he suddenly saw a scout in charge of looking at the wind, hurrying to this side, his eyebrows suddenly wrinkled slightly.

After all, there were so many of them, and they went deep into the hinterland of Goguryeo, so after arriving here last night, Cheng Chumo handed over the scout telescope to the scout as soon as possible and dispersed the scout.

At this time, seeing the scout rushing over, with a panicked look on his face, Cheng Chumo's heart suddenly 'chuckled', and suddenly a bad premonition rose.

Sure enough, as soon as this idea arose, the scout had already come to Cheng Chumo, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said to Cheng Chumo: "Dudu, a large number of Goguryeo men and horses have been found on the north bank, and they are rushing towards us!" ”

“… How far away? Hearing the scout's words, Cheng Chumo suddenly stood up, stuffed the half-eaten dry food into his arms, frowned and glanced into the distance, and then looked at the scout in front of him and asked.

"In about half an hour, we will be able to cross the river!" Standing high and looking into the distance, this scout is also quite good, and after being sent out by Cheng Chumo, he found a high ground and stared around

It is also thanks to this that when Gao Yanshou appeared for the first time, he let him find out!

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chao, who was originally in charge of transporting the bones, happened to come from Ma Yanshui at this time, and when he saw Cheng Chumo frowning, standing there talking to a soldier, he immediately asked curiously.

"We were probably discovered by the Goguryeo people!" Hearing Jiang Chao's question, Cheng Chumo did not hide it, he simply looked at Jiang Chao, and told Jiang Chao the news that the scout had brought back.

"It's coming so fast!" Hearing Cheng Chumo's words, Jiang Chao's face suddenly showed a touch of shock, hesitated slightly, looked at Cheng Chumo and sighed.

"yes!" When Cheng Chu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, glanced at Jingguan, who was about to dig to the bottom, and said: "Now is not the time to sigh, you have to find a way to block the Goguryeo people!" ”

"20,000 Goguryeo people, we only have 8,000 when we are full!" Hearing Cheng Chumo's words, Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment, looked at Cheng Chumo and said, "How to block it?" ”

"If you can't block it, you have to block it!" Cheng Chu silently heard this, pointed to the Jingguan who was still digging below, and said, "You can't give up halfway, leave these bones to evacuate, right?" We only have this one chance, and if we miss it, we don't know what year and month! ”

After saying this, Cheng Chumo ignored Jiang Chao anymore, turned around and stood on the mound, beckoned to Shi Hu over there, and waited until Shi Hu came over, then asked: "Tell me, if the Goguryeo brigade crosses the river, where will the nearest place be?" ”

"The Goguryeo people are coming?" As soon as he heard Cheng Chumo's words, Shi Hu's face suddenly showed a shocked look, but then he saw Cheng Chumo's calm expression, and quickly replied: "There are several places to cross the river, and the closest one to us is not far upstream, where there is a pontoon bridge!" ”

"What else?" Cheng Chumo heard that it was a pontoon bridge, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and then he looked at Shi Hu and asked.

"And there's a river bay about half an hour away from us!" When Shi Hu heard this, he almost didn't think about it, so he looked at Cheng Chumo and said: "The river there is very wide, and it is the most suitable for a large group of people to cross the river!" ”

"Enough!" Hearing Shi Hu's words, Cheng Chumo closed his eyes, thought slightly, and then, when he opened his eyes, he looked at Shi Hu and said, "Later, I will bring two hundred people, and you will also follow me to block the Goguryeo people, and the rest of the people will hurry up and converge!" ”

"Are you crazy?" The other party is the Goguryeo brigade, although I don't know the specific number, I can't imagine how much it will go, and Cheng Chumo actually only brought 200 people to stop the enemy, Jiang Chao immediately exclaimed.

"Two hundred is enough!" Cheng Chumo chuckled lightly at Jiang Chao, who looked like he was looking like a ghost, and then jumped off the mound and said without looking back: "Remember what I said, within half an hour, we must all dig it out, otherwise, we will all die here!" ”
