At first, the Fenghuo Army, which was thought to be a disease of scabies by Quan Nansan, generally believed that the Goguryeo army would collapse as soon as it arrived, but no one expected that this team of more than 3,000 people, surrounded by 70,000 Goguryeo troops, would be able to easily intersperse the joints of Goguryeo's various departments. When encountering a weak team, they will occasionally counterattack. In this way, instead of being wiped out, this Tang army led 70,000 Goguryeo troops to circle in the mountains and forests of northeastern Goguryeo.
With the presence of Di Feng's army in the hinterland of Goguryeo, Goguryeo was forced to withdraw 70,000 people from the main force, and Li Ji's pressure was suddenly much less, and Goguryeo no longer had an absolute numerical advantage in the frontal battlefield, but Goguryeo, with the help of geographical familiarity and adaptation to the cold winter weather, did not have a rout like when Li Ji first began to attack.
The main force could not achieve a big victory, and Li Ji was not very brilliant in the military newspaper sent to Chang'an, but the names of Xue Rengui and Di Feng frequently appeared in small victories again and again.
On October 20, Xue Rengui's Xuanjia army connected five small cities, and converged with the all-male department, the victory of the Jinshan battle has begun to tilt towards Li Ji's army, Gaozong Li Zhi personally wrote an edict to comfort Lao Rengui: "Jinshan array, the fierce party is really multiplying. Qing took the lead, regardless of his life, rushed left and right, invincible, all the troops Jia Yong, to Skejie. It is advisable to make meritorious deeds, and all this is famous. ”; And Di Feng also got rid of the pursuit of the Goguryeo army, along the coastline of Goguryeo, connected the three cities, but Gaozong did not dare to give a clear decree to reward Di Feng, for no other reason, Di Feng's wind and fire army methods were too brutal, where they passed, all the people and animals were taken away, not to mention, arson and burning the city was commonplace, which also made Di Feng, a white-clothed and white-armored wind and fire army, fall into the title of "snow devil".
Li Zhi read Di Feng's military report, although he liked it in his heart, but the murderous methods of the Wind and Fire Army would provoke the verbal criticism of the speaker, and he didn't dare to blatantly praise and reward Di Feng, so he could only keep Di Feng's credit in his heart, and wait for the end of the Eastern Crusade to find a hair to return to him.
Di Feng didn't care if he could get a reward or not, now every time he breached a city, Di Feng's wealth would grow rapidly, and at this time there were hundreds of ships transporting war spoils between Goguryeo and Jeju Island, and these hundreds of ships were not only Di Feng's Ningzhou sailors, but also the fleet of the Thirteen Niang and the merchant ships of the Wa Kingdom and Baekje that she plundered at sea.
Now the soldiers of the Ningzhou Fenghuo Army can be said to be very rich, and at this moment they no longer look down on the property of those ordinary Goguryeo people; Although all the looted property should be handed over, Di Feng also said that these belongings would be registered and transported to Jeju Island first, and when the war ended, half of them would be confiscated and half of them would be reserved for individuals.
The Wind and Fire Army does not go to the ordinary people's homes, so it is cheaper to come to the barbarians; These barbarians don't pick and choose, the rich people rob the wind and fire army, they rob the ordinary people, and after the robbery, they will be grateful to Dade for his generous gift to Di Feng. For this reason, Di Feng was happy to see it, Di Feng had already thought about it, and when the court asked about the whereabouts of the spoils in Goguryeo, he pushed all of them on the barbarians.
Who let these barbarians not see!
In the eyes of the barbarians, the gemstone agate is not as valuable as a copper kettle.
the castle lord's mansion of Cheongjin Fortress, an important coastal town of Goguryeo that had just been conquered; In front of Di Feng's eyes, a barbarian holding a porcelain jar filled with wine was happily tossing around, stunned to ignore the antique calligraphy and paintings around him, seeing Di Feng looking at him, the barbarian hurriedly hid the wine jar behind him, for fear that Di Feng would see the wealth. While looking at Di Feng and his party vigilantly, he kept talking in the local language, signaling Di Feng that he didn't want those antique calligraphy and paintings, and gave them to Di Feng.
The stone has been following Di Feng for a long time, and his vision has naturally improved a lot, he looked at the antique calligraphy and painting, and waved his hand without hesitation to let the guards pack all the clothes and take them away, seeing Di Feng's people take the calligraphy and painting, the barbarian seemed to have made a lot of money, grinned at Di Feng, and ran away with the wine jar.
This scene made Di Feng cry and laugh, but when he looked back and saw that the fire tiger in the Five Tigers was standing beside him with a night pot, he couldn't help but be angry: "You bastard, why are you still as knowledgeable as such a barbarian after following Di for so long, don't you know that this is the night pot you are holding for urinating at night?" Hurry up and throw it away, how can you grab everything, it's not a shame? ”
Huohu scratched his head and smiled, "I don't know, I naturally know that this thing is a night pot, but those barbarians like it!" After a while, I will take this night pot to find the head of the deer to change things......" Saying that, the fire tiger approached Di Feng, as if he was afraid that others would hear it, and whispered: "Master, these barbarians are all fools, they don't want jade jewelry, they like these exquisite daily necessities, and this night pot can be exchanged for a gem!" ”
Smelling the smell of urine from the night pot in the fire tiger's hand, Di Feng felt sick to his stomach, pushed away the fire tiger next to him, and scolded with a smile: "Go and get your night pot for gems!" Don't be disgusted here."
Huohu smirked and just left, Li Duoqi hurried over, and after seeing Di Feng clasping his fists and saluting, he asked, "Dashuai, this place has almost been cleaned up, where are we going next?" ”
"Where to go?" Di Feng pondered for a while and said: "Now the trouble we have caused to Goguryeo is far from enough, just attacking these small cities can't make Quan Nan Shan crazy, we have to find a key attack that Quan Nan Shan must save, so that the main force of Goguryeo can come back to help, Duo Qi, you are familiar with Goguryeo, where is the most appropriate attack in your opinion?" ”
Li Duozhu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his selfish desires swelled up after days of victories, and he secretly pondered in his heart, "These small victories are not enough to make himself a marquis, if you want to establish a great feat, of course, you will attack Pyongyang, if you can capture Goguryeo King Gaozang with your own hands, then what kind of future will you have?" Thinking together, Li Duoqi said without thinking: "Attack Pyongyang!" ”
Di Feng looked at the flickering light in Li Duoqi's eyes and frowned secretly, "Attack Pyongyang? It is normal for people to want to strive for merit, but this Li Duoqi has too much appetite and too strong utilitarianism, so he actually came up with such a stupid trick in order to compete for merit! Not to mention that the big wall of Pyongyang is heavily guarded by high-elite soldiers and strong generals, and it is in vain for these 3,000 people to attack without equipment, not to mention the soldiers who sacrificed in vain, it is very likely that they will be dragged to death under the city of Pyongyang by Goguryeo's internal guards. I can think of such a simple truth, how can Li Duoqi not know after a hundred battles? This person is selfish, it seems that this Li Duoqi cannot be reused as a confidant in the future."
Di Feng thought so in his heart, but he didn't refute Li Duoqi, but said lightly: "Duoqi's idea is good, but this trip to Pyongyang is still separated by Huishan, Jince, Xianxing and other cities, if we attack Pyongyang at this time, we may be surrounded by the Goguryeo army on the uncovered Gaima Plain, let's be careful; My idea is that I will lead the troops to continue along the coast to lay down Jince, which has a port, and you will lead a detachment of men and horses to harass Huishan, and try to lead the pursuers to Huishan."
Hearing Di Feng's flat tone, he didn't seem to like his suggestion, Li Duoqi also knew that he was a little anxious for quick success, and hurriedly said: "Is it that the subordinates are not thoughtful, or the general is thoughtful, and the subordinates will arrange the generals to prepare for departure according to the general's wishes." ”
Seeing that Li Duoqi was about to leave, Di Feng told again: "Your task is to harass Huishan to attract pursuers, and you must not be greedy for merit to engage the Goguryeo army. (To be continued.) )
