116. On the island

Wuhu Town is now Changdao God's City, Wuhu Island is composed of two small islands in the north and south, with an area of no more than ten square kilometers, and the opposite side of Wuhu Town is the Beisha City of Goguryeo, which is now Dalian Daheishan area, and the two cities are far away from each other.

Taizong's first eastern crusade set up Wuhu Town on Wuhu Island as a storage place for military grain and grass, Wuhu Town was controlled by Penglai in Dengzhou, and the island was configured according to the middle town, with generals, deputy generals, recorders, and warehouse supervisors, and more than 300 soldiers were mostly exiled and assigned to the army here.

In other words, the defenders of Wuhu Town are also idle, but now the strategic importance of Wuhu Town is highlighted when the war is imminent, Goguryeo regards Wuhu Town as a thorn in the flesh, and wants to pull it out as soon as possible, in this case, the defenders of Wuhu Town have long become grass and trees, Guo Beifeng sent Di Feng to lead his troops to come is not all out of selfishness, he is not a straw bag to know the importance of Wuhu Town, Di Feng's more than 3,000 people arrived in Wuhu Town, but also to prevent Goguryeo from sneaking up on the army's grain and grass.

Guo Chen, the garrison general of Wuhu Town, was originally on an errand under Liu Renliang, but in the Battle of Baijiangkou, Guo Chen was afraid of death and repeatedly violated military discipline, Liu Renliang wanted to behead him, but he took Li Jingxuan's way and was saved by Li Jingxuan before staying in Wuhu Town as a garrison general of the seventh grade.

At this time, Guo Chen was drinking in the court with a half-naked woman in his arms, when suddenly the captain in charge of the outpost hurriedly ran in and shouted: "General, the big thing is not good, there is a large fleet sailing towards us!" ”

When Guo Chen heard this, he thought that Goguryeo had sent troops to attack Wuhu Island, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, so he got up in a panic and put on his armor in a hurry, and hurriedly ran out of the office.

"General. Do you want to assemble the order? The lieutenant asked as he ran behind Guo Chen.

"To ...... Want...... Also, get my boat ready. It's the one behind the mountain." Guo Chen replied in a panic, and at the same time did not forget to tell the captain to prepare the boat he was going to keep for escape.

When Guo Chen arrived at the city tower, he saw more than a dozen big ships on the sea breaking through the waves. Guo Chen didn't take a closer look at it, and there was a drum beating in his heart: "God, these dozen boats are loaded with no less than a few thousand soldiers, and my Wuhu Town garrison is only three hundred, how can I defend it?" He looked back at his soldiers who had no fighting spirit, gritted his teeth and said to the captain: "You first command them here to defend to the death, and then go back to the government to assist in the defense."

After Guo Chen finished speaking, he left in a hurry without looking back, and the lieutenant spat at Guo Chen's back and scolded: "You are an ancestor, you run faster than anyone else when there is a war." Don't you still know when Lao Tzu? What's the matter, with such a wreck, what kind of sin did Lao Tzu suffer in his last life! ”

After the captain finished scolding, he turned back to the guard and shouted: "Guo Chen ran away, we have no way back, if we run away without a fight, it is also a death, and if we kill the enemy, we will also die, if the former dies, it will drag down the family, and if the latter dies, I may let the family get some comfort." Brothers, if you can trust Lao Tzu, pick up your swords and kill these dogs! ”

The defenders of Wuhu Island were stripped of by Guo Chen, and they were already short of clothes and clothing, and they had already had enough of such loveless days. Encouraged by the captain, everyone also shouted in a chaotic manner: "Okay! these dogs! "Death is death, maybe the court can open its eyes and forgive our sins", "Yes." If you can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes, it's better to desperately seek richness."

Everyone shouted and poured into the city. At this time, a sharp-eyed colonel suddenly pointed to the sea and shouted: "Captain, look! It's like our fleet."

When the lieutenant heard this, he hurriedly went to the battlement to take a closer look. I saw a big Tang flag fluttering on one of the largest building ships on the sea, and the building boat and the sea falcon are the symbols of the Tang Dynasty, this is not their own fleet! He couldn't help laughing and shouted to everyone in the city, "Haha...... Brothers, don't worry, this is the arrival of our Datang army."

When Di Feng landed on Wuhu Island, the first thing he saw was a group of sloppy soldiers in tattered armor, these soldiers were not as equipped as the Maitreya rebels, Di Feng was very suspicious that these were not border troops known for their fierce combat power, all of them looked unkempt like a group of bandits who occupied the mountains as kings.

Facing the ragged defenders, because he couldn't tell the rank, Di Feng could only ask, "Where is your garrison?" ”

The captain who had just taken the lead walked out of the crowd and glanced at Di Feng's bright armor, not knowing what to call Di Feng, but still having to answer Di Feng's question, he could only stumble and say, "This ...... General ......"

The stone beside Di Feng saw that the captain didn't know Di Feng, so he rushed to say: "This is Ningzhou Thorn History, Liaodong Provincial Grain Transport Envoy, Xuanwei General Di Feng, General Di."

As soon as the lieutenant heard that this official was older than Guo Chen, he hurriedly said: "Our garrison has run away, and now only we are the pawns, and the lowly position is the leader of these people."

The lieutenant's words made Di Feng confused, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Ran away?" Why run? ”。

The school captain Jue finally found someone who could call the shots, so he told Guo Chen all kinds of bad deeds, Di Feng was annoyed when he heard it, "Flee before fighting, deduct military salaries, this person should be killed." When he came to the Wuhu Town Mansion and saw a few disheveled women in the hall, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and asked Jiang Zhongshi beside him, "You might hold this Guo Chen?" ”

Jiang Zhongshi also worked as an errand under Liu Renliang, and also participated in the Battle of Baijiangkou, so he naturally knew Guo Chen's notoriety, and when he heard that Di Feng wanted to take him, he immediately agreed happily, "He just left, I will send a yacht to chase after him, and it should be okay to take him."

"Good! You go and get him quickly", Di Feng made up his mind to take this Guo Chen Liwei Wujiang Town.

Jiang Zhongshi was ordered to go out, and Di Feng arranged manpower to assemble the people and horses in Wujiang Town, and the warehouse was counted and inspected, and then he came to the school and waited quietly for Jiang Zhongshi to come back without saying a word under the attention of everyone.

Besides, this Guo Chen is also too bad character, he originally fled first, ready to flee back to Dengzhou to lie about the military situation, and then find someone to make the relationship between Yinzituo and the old way to fool the past, but the soldiers who rowed and operated the oars for him hated him for a long time, how could he be willing to contribute to rowing, but he didn't go far before he was caught up by Jiang Zhongshi and others.

Waiting for Jiang Zhongshi to escort Guo Chen to the school field, Guo Chen saw that the school field was already neatly occupied, and his heart was not good, it seemed that this person wanted to use himself to establish authority, but he didn't know Di Feng, so he had no way to set up a relationship, so he could only shout: "This general, I, Guo Chen, am the protΓ©gΓ© of Li Jingxuan, the secretary of the ministry, and I was going to Dengzhou to meet Guo Zhifeng Guo Jun Shi to report the war situation, why did you send someone to arrest me back?" ”

Guo Chen thought that although he didn't know this general, but if he reported the names of Li Jingxuan, the secretary of the ministry, and Guo Beifeng, the envoy of the navy, this person would definitely save some face for himself. But how did he know that Di Feng didn't buy any Li Jingxuan's account at all, as for Guo Zhifeng, it was okay that he didn't mention it, and when Guo Beifeng mentioned it, Di Feng was even more angry.

Di Feng sneered and asked, "You are a master of clever words!" Since you have pleaded not guilty, then I will let everyone tell you what to do with you! (To be continued.) )
