Chapter 1049: Stuck in the Footsteps?

As for the rescue from the Yalu waterfront, Goguryeo has nothing to say, there is no second way to go except for support.

If the Tang army wants to cross the river, what better time to fight than to attack halfway? Even Gozang Wu, who knew nothing about the war, knew that this was a good opportunity, how could those Goguryeo generals not know, and how could Quangae Suwen, a famous figure in Goguryeo history, not know.

Therefore, the day after receiving the news, the 400,000-strong army began to set out as an army, rushing to the Yalu River at the speed of a rapid march.

At the same time, the hearts of the Goguryeo people were still silently praying, hoping that the 10,000 Goguryeo defenders guarding the Yalu Water could complete their mission and block the Tang Army on the other side of the Yalu Water.

And just when Gao Zangwu and Quan Gai Suwen were worried, worried about whether Xing Ziqiu's guy could stop Li Chengqian's Liaodong Army, Xing Ziqiu looked at the hundreds of warships parked in the center of the river depressedly, and let out a helpless sigh.

It's been ten days, and the sailors of the Tang Dynasty have already arrived for ten days, thinking that they will attack in a very short time, but Xing Ziqiu, who crossed the river with all his might, didn't wait for any opportunity.

Because the Tang sailors didn't have any intention of crossing the river at all, they just stopped there quietly, except for being strictly guarded on their own side, they didn't make any moves, as if they were waiting for Goguryeo to get ready.

Why? Why is that? Could it be that the Tang prince on the other side is a fool? Don't know the truth of the speed of soldiers? Didn't he know that the longer the time dragged on and the better Goguryeo prepared, the more unfavorable the situation on the battlefield would be for him?

The people who were so confused were not only the Goguryeo guard general Xing Ziqiu, but also the generals of the Liaodong Army, and every day some people would run around outside Li Chengqian's big tent, trying to remind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince: It was time to attack.

And what about Li Chengqian? This thing is still the old god sitting in his tent, and sometimes he communicates with Lao Dugu about the eighteenth road against the king; From time to time, I discussed Taoist doctrine with Xiao Daogu; Even if it is not good, he will also set up a dragon gate formation with Yang Yuxin and Cheng Lin and play a few games of backgammon.

Finally, on the 24th of February, Duan Zhan, Cheng Chumo and a group of young people couldn't help but run to the Zhongjun tent en masse and surrounded Li Chengqian, who was playing chess.

"Gao Ming, we have been staying here for more than ten days, and if we wait any longer, Goguryeo reinforcements will arrive, and then we will face hundreds of thousands of troops, and it will be difficult to cross the river again."

"Yes, Gao Ming, we can't delay it any longer, although we have the advantage of weapons, but now we don't have an advantage in geography, if we wait until the Goguryeo reinforcements come, I'm afraid that the time and location will not be available."

The gentlemen were expressing their opinions in a gossiping manner, not noticing that Li Chengqian had rolled his eyes countless times.

In the end, Li Chengqian was finally a little annoyed by what these gentlemen said, and after messing up the chess game, he said: "Okay, shut up!" Because you are still the children of soldiers, haven't you noticed anything different in the camp after so many days? ”

"Somewhere different?" The gentlemen looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

"Didn't you notice that there were more than 10,000 people missing from the camp?" Li Chengqian continued to ask.

"Nope!" She continued to shake her head.

"So have you seen Brother Cave's goods these days?" Li Chengqian let out a long breath and no longer played dumb riddles with the gentlemen.

"Brother Cave?" Duan Zan blinked his eyes and said suspiciously: "That old boy has never appeared again except for the first few days when he came, God knows where he ran to." ”

Some 'noun' words from later generations, after Li Chengqian's dissemination, have been used by the gentlemen, except for the older generation, who have poor receptivity and rarely know how to use them.

Like 'I'm going', 'OK', 'FUCK', etc., the middle finger is even more talked about by the gentlemen every day, even if he has been taught countless times by the old man at home, he still doesn't change.

"Okay, it's okay if you can't find Brother Cave, so haven't you noticed that the Yalu Water has been any different from the past few days?" Li Chengqian shrugged his shoulders and made an expression of being defeated by Duan Zhan, and then continued to ask.

"I'm not from Goguryeo, so I don't know how Yalu water is different from before." Duan Zhan scratched his head and replied.

It's over, who are these people under my hands!

Li Chengqian stared at the top of the tent speechlessly and let out a long sigh, while Cheng Lin, who was opposite him, kept laughing.

"Haven't you noticed that the water has slowed down in the past few days? Didn't you notice that the water level was getting shallower? Dugu Qingyun walked in from outside at this time and couldn't help asking.

"Isn't it a dry season? Isn't it normal for the river to change since it hasn't rained or snowed for many days? Li Zhen replied suspiciously.

"Pigs, you're a bunch of pigs!" After Dugu Qingyun scolded with hatred of iron and steel, he turned around angrily and walked out of the tent.

"What's the matter, what the hell are you doing?" Yu Chi Baoqi shook his huge head, looking at this and that in puzzlement, as if he wanted to find the answer on everyone's faces.

Cheng Lin also laughed enough at this time, put away the scattered chess pieces one by one, and said to Li Chengqian at the same time: "Brother Prince, you should explain it to a few brothers, otherwise you can't think of it if they want to." ”

"Okay!" Li Chengqian smacked his lips, sighed again and said, "Brother Cave and his subordinates left the camp more than ten days ago and went to the upper reaches of Yalu Water. ”

"Brother Cave is not in the camp? Went upstream with 20,000 people? Li Siwen's face changed: "Gao Ming, are you planning to cut off the river?" ”

"Yes, there's finally a smarter one." Li Chengqian glanced at Li Siwen with praise and disapproval, nodded and said.

"But, but...... But there are only 10,000 people on the other side, isn't it a waste of energy for you to do this? After being reminded by Li Siwen, Duan Zan also reacted, knowing that Li Chengqian had plans to flood the Goguryeo defenders, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't you just say that if you wait a little longer, Goguryeo's reinforcements will arrive? Why did you forget it now? Li Chengqian glanced at Xiao Duan with disdain.

"But even if Goguryeo's reinforcements arrive, they won't come over when they see such a situation as Yalu Shui." Duan Zan slowly entered the state, trying to analyze the situation on the battlefield.

"Who said you have to wait until they get there before you flood? Don't you think that the best time for us to cross the river is when they have just arrived? At that time, do you think that the Goguryeo people still had the heart to see the water ripples of the Yalu water? Li Chengqian glared at Duan Zan and told his plan.
