There was a dead silence in the city of Anzhou.

The streets were deserted, and a foul smell could be heard in the air. Since the siege of the Silk Country was completely halted and destroyed by the use of catapults, the perimeter of the walls became a terrible death zone, and the soldiers who remained there all hid in bunkers or would be killed and injured by stones that fell at some unknown point. Because of this, the bodies of those who died during the siege could not be buried in time, and the corpses quickly began to decompose in the hot weather, and the stench of corpses filled the city of Anzhou.

If this goes on for a long time, it will inevitably turn into a plague, so Li Chenghui ordered that the corpse must be buried as much as possible. It's just that burying the corpses in the city can't solve the problem fundamentally, and no one can deal with the corpses piled up under the city walls, and the smell of corpses wafts into the city from there and can't be dispersed for a long time.

However, these are bearable, and the biggest problem at the moment is the low morale of the Goryeo army. Most of the soldiers in the city were new recruits, and even after the fierce battles at the beginning of the siege, they could not adapt to the feeling of despair and panic when they were completely cut off from the outside world and trapped for a long time. Although Anzhou City was well defended and had plenty of food, the mood of the soldiers just couldn't improve. Compared with the excitement of the bloody bravery when attacked by the enemy, the long and boundless siege was more debilitating to the will.

In order to alleviate this emotion, some young generals kept asking to go out of the city to kill the enemy, but Li Chenghui refused them one by one. He knew that the Liaodong Army was not a fuel-efficient lamp. They are waiting for themselves to get out of the city, and this is a great opportunity to annihilate the living forces in the city. And if you lose the battle, it will make it even more low. This is the reason why Li Chenghui can't take risks. He must hold on to the city until the day reinforcements arrive.

Facts have proved that Li Chenghui's judgment was not wrong. A few days later, the defenders of Dingzhou City went out of the city to fight because they couldn't bear the torture, and were defeated by the army of the Silk Country. And then it fell. At this time, only Anju Fortress remained in the western part of Goryeo north of Pyongyang, and the White Wolf Mountain was still under the control of Goryeo, and the rest fell into the hands of the Silk Country.

Of course, the Liaodong Army immediately told the defenders of Anzhou City the news of the fall of Dingzhou City, and escorted a large number of prisoners of war from Dingzhou City to show the public, in order to demoralize the soldiers in the city. In this regard, Li Chenghui could only try his best to boost the low morale and let the soldiers establish confidence and hold on to help.

Things changed six days later, and although there was still no sign of an attack in the military camp of the Silk Country, an inexplicable commotion began. The generals who discovered this situation immediately reported to Li Chenghui. Li Chenghui, who was exhausted at the time, was shocked when he heard the news, and in his opinion, it may be because of something happened to the Liaodong Army going south. At that moment, he personally ran to the head of the city to observe.

The result of the observation was inconclusive, and by the time he came to the city, the military camp of the Silk Country had returned to quiet, and the figures coming and going were as usual. Li Chenghui had no choice but to go back to his home to rest. That night, a rush of footsteps woke Li Chenghui from his false sleep, and it was the officer on duty who came to report to Li Chenghui that the army of the Silk Country might have begun to retreat.

Li Chenghui suddenly fell asleep and ran all the way to the city tower with the officer. Sure enough, as he said, although the Liaodong Army did not hold the lamp. Everything was going on in the dark night, but the sound of the army's actions was clear to Li Chenghui, and the army of the Silk Country was indeed preparing to escape at night. Although the situation is unclear now, this move of the Silk Country is too strange. Maybe it was a trap, but Li Chenghui still ordered all departments to prepare for battle. If he was sure that the retreat was genuine, he must organize his forces to pursue it. Not to mention that they want to hunt down the enemy army to take revenge. At the very least, we need to regain lost territory.

So the armies of both sides were busy inside and outside the city. Everything was going on in the dark, and neither side wanted to alarm the other. At least Li Chenghui had the upper hand at this point - he discovered the movement of the enemy army. And the enemy did not find him.

At dawn, Li Chenghui saw two generals coming out of the military camp of the Silk Country. There is also an ox cart in the back. These two riders and a car slowly drove towards the city of Anzhou. The other party walked to the critical point of the bow and arrow range and stopped, and one of them shouted loudly: "Down there is the commander of the Tiger Guard Battalion, and he is the captain Gao Dingbian!" Please meet Master Li Chenghui out of the city! ”

Li Chenghui heard this voice clearly in the city, since there were only two people on the other side, and they didn't come to challenge, what would it be? Li Chenghui thought about it, arranged with the generals on the left and right, got up and went down to the city alone, and stepped out of the city on a war horse.

Li Chenghui only recognized it before he came to the closer, this Gao Dingbian he had met before, he was a young general who had fought against him, and the one next to him also had the impression that he was the kid who used double knives. I saw Gao Dingbian arching his hand and said: "This turned out to be the old general Li Chenghui, in the lower Gao Dingbian, this is my brother and deputy commander Wang Hanxin, fortunately." ”

Li Chenghui nodded and said, "Captain Gao doesn't have to be polite, please have something to say." ”

Gao Ding said: "It's not a secret, my family was assassinated a few days ago. Therefore, our army decided to withdraw and return home. And this assassin under the pseudonym Mu Yanping claims to be your grandson Li Kancheng. Now we return his body to the old general, and ask the old general to mourn. ”

These words hit Li Chenghui's body like lightning, and Li Chenghui's body shook a few times on the horse. Originally, the news of Chang Miao's assassination had already surprised him, and what he didn't expect was that the assassin turned out to be his beloved grandson Li Kancheng! Since the battle when the city was lost, Li Kancheng has disappeared, although Li Chenghui also feels that he has no chance of survival, but there is still a hope in his heart, hoping that he is still alive in this world. As a result, Li Kan was still alive, but when he knew the whereabouts of his grandson, it was already yin and yang. Looking back on his expectations for this grandson, how could Li Chenghui not be sad that he lost his eldest son and then lost his eldest grandson soon after?

This blow is indeed huge for an old man, if it weren't for the battle, Li Chenghui would probably sit on the ground, at this time he tried to keep his eyes open so that the tears in his eyes would not roll down. He followed Gao Dingbian's hand and looked at the ox cart, and sure enough, there was a corpse lying on the ox cart. Li Chenghui turned over and dismounted, and ran to the front of the ox cart in a few steps to see who it was if it wasn't his grandson Li Kancheng! The old man held his hand on the side of the ox cart, and his body couldn't help shaking.

Gao Dingbian rode over and said, "The old general's day mourns, as you can see, we still have important things to do, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time." Don't pass it for the time being, see you on the battlefield in the future, and hope that you are still strong today. ”

After that, Gao Dingbian ran away with a horse's belly, and Wang Hanxin behind him also followed. When passing by Li Chenghui's side, Wang Hanxin deliberately stopped and dropped a few words: "Li Chenghui, you remember!" I have a bitter enmity with Goryeo! Now that your grandson has killed my family, I will write down this hatred for you! One day, I will cut off your white head and cut off Cui Wende's head! Before that day comes, you give me a good life! ”

Gao Dingbian and Wang Hanxin's figures gradually faded away, leaving Li Chenghui alone to hug his grandson's body and cry silently. In the distance, the Goryeo army in Anju City slowly walked out of the city, looking at their beloved marshal from a distance.

The second Goryeo expedition in 802 of the Gregorian calendar came to an end due to the accidental death of the commander Chang Miao. The Goryeo Kingdom somehow escaped a catastrophe and was ostensibly victorious. However, this is only the beginning of the troubles for the warring parties, and behind Chang Miao, there is an endless mess waiting for both sides to clean up.
