Chapter 51: The Mountain of Corpses and the Sea of Blood (7)

Heavy snow suddenly fell in Liaodong!

For three days in a row, from Liaodong to Pyongyang, thousands of miles of fertile soil were covered in silver. Thick snow up to knees. Horses also had a hard time walking on the snow. The scorching cold weather has forced many people to stay at home, and the desolate wilderness is even more lonely.

The city of Diyu under the Diyu Mountains was the place where the Goguryeo people held prisoners of war.

With the failure of the Sui army's first expedition to Goguryeo, the 200,000-strong army was wiped out on both sides of the Sashui River. Those who died in the war were built into a Jingguan, from Sashui to the bank of the Yalu River; The captives were held in the military camps along the Sasui coast, but not in one place, but in scattered confinements.

Di Yu Ling is the source of the water of Sa.

And the city of Di Yu is also a fortress in the upper reaches of the Sa water.

There were nearly 2,000 Sui prisoners in the city, and the guard general who guarded the city was named Che Lihan, and the deputy general Cao was the official worshipper, and there were 400 elite soldiers under his command.

The surname Che is a cheap surname in Goguryeo, and it is said that it was given as a surname for making cars in the early years.

In Goguryeo, the deputy general of Bingcao was second only to the military lord of the grass-roots officer, Che Lihan was born in a humble background, and won the post of deputy general of Bing Cao, on the one hand, he stood in line well, since the military said, he was appreciated by the Ulji family, and then he rose to prominence. In ten years, becoming the deputy general of Bingcao is also a great thing in Goguryeo. Before he is Chinese New Year's Eve thirty or forty years old, he may be able to stand alone and be promoted to the rank of military master. In that way, he was officially included in the list of high-level officers in Goguryeo, and he had a great future.

Che Lihan can win the appreciation of the Yizhi family, although there are reasons why he is sloppy, but in terms of his real skills, it is not too weak.

Good at making a mountain machete, weighing more than 80 catties, has the courage of ten thousand people.

The surname is brutal, easy to kill, and he is a good hand in marching and fighting, and he is also quite prestigious in the army. Originally, when Yizhi Wende was fighting in Liaodong, he wanted to take Che Lihan over. Unexpectedly, this guy lost his morality after drinking and killed a noble child. Out of the desire to protect him, Ezhi Wende sent him to the bitter cold of Di Yu Ling. On the one hand, it is to calm the anger of the Pyongyang aristocracy, and on the other hand, it also wants to take advantage of the bitter cold of Di Yuling to make Che Lihan calm down. When the time comes, Echiwende will transfer him out.

Who knows, the battle situation in Liaodong was scorching, and then the water flooded the Sui Army's Ninth Army of 35,000 people, and the Yide Wenzhi won a complete victory.

Chelihan had no chance to show it at all, so he could only continue to stay in this city honestly.

Fortunately, he found fun in the city of Diyu, otherwise he would have gone crazy sooner or later from boredom in this place where birds don't.

It was snowing heavily, and Che Lihan was wearing a cotton robe, with his arms open, revealing the thick hair on his chest.

Holding a large bronze jue in his hand, filled with wine. He sat in the watchtower at the entrance of the prisoner of war camp and drank excitedly.

In the prisoner of war camp, there is an open space.

In the open space, more than a dozen Sui soldiers were fighting frantically together.

Two or three dead bodies lay in pools of blood, wearing the same clothes as the Sui army.

Che Lihan grinned and shouted excitedly, "Kill them...... Sui dogs, kill your opponents...... The victor can get a cup of wine and three catties of beef! Damn, these Sui dogs are really not up to the task, no wonder they were killed by Mo Lizhi and lost their armor and fled in embarrassment. ”

The soldiers beside him hurriedly filled his bronze jue with wine.

This kind of gladiatorial fight, which is similar to the gladiatorial arena of the Roman Empire, is the joy that Chelihan found in it.

He gathered the Sui army prisoners together and selected them on an impromortulous basis. Fighting alone or in groups, watching the Sui army killing each other and bleeding like a river, Che Lihan's heart was extremely comfortable. Lao Tzu can't go to the battlefield, but Lao Tzu has a way to clean you up...... Anyway, no one would care about the life or death of these Sui prisoners of war, not even Yang Guang, the Yang Emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

Kill one less and one less, and after the spring of the following year, these prisoners of war will be sent to the Diyu Mountains to clear the wasteland. I'm afraid there won't be many left who will come out alive by then.

In the gladiatorial arena, two Sui soldiers joined forces and killed the last enemy.

Che Lihan laughed and said, "These two boys are a little interesting. Come on, collect their weapons, and arrange another one for them. ”

"Che Bing Cao, how to arrange it?"

Che Lihan thought for a while and said, "Sui Dog is soft-handed and soft-footed, and it is not refreshing to kill...... Che Fukangan, you take ten people and teach them a good lesson. Damn, if you want to eat Lao Tzu's wine and meat, how can you not show some real skills? Sui dogs, if you shout three times: Sui dogs should die, Lao Tzu will reward you with wine and meat...... Haha, hahaha! ”

"Liaodong barbarians damn it!"

The two Sui soldiers shouted peace, waved the blunt soldiers in their hands, and rushed towards the Goguryeo people around the clearing.

I thought that I could eat a full meal after defeating, but I didn't know that the Goguryeo people didn't believe in their words. Anyway, it's a death, and the surname Suo fights with them.

It's just that they went through a bitter battle first, and they were already scarred.

The Goguryeo people around him, with many people, just rushed up two or three steps, but when they saw the arrows in unison, they shot two Sui soldiers in a pool of blood.

Che Lihan couldn't help but be disappointed.

He was about to find someone to fight again, when suddenly a personal soldier came to report: "Bing Cao, there is Cao Funing, a soldier of Sashui City outside the city, escorting Sui Dog prisoners of war to come." ”

"Fu Ning?"

Che Lihan was stunned and quickly stood up.

He had not heard of the name Fu Ning, but he also knew that the surname Fu was in Pyongyang and belonged to the aristocratic surname.

Of course, the surname Fu cannot be compared with first-class nobles like Yuan Taizuo or Yizhi Wende, but among the second-class nobles, he is also a leader.

The Fu family in Pyongyang controls more than ten ports in Goguryeo and has tens of thousands of family wealth.

Most of the children of the Fu family are also officials in the court, so Che Lihan does not dare to slack off. After spending almost a year in the city of Diyu, he also learned much smarter. knows that even if he has the protection of Yizhi Wende, if he offends those nobles, he will not have his good fruit to eat.

What's more, the Fu family and the Yi family have a close relationship and have always played the role of the money bag of the Yi family.

If he offends the Fu family, even if Che Lihan is valued by Yizhi Wende, it will be difficult to bargain. After the defeat of the Sui naval army in Pyongyang, many noble children joined the army and wanted to beat the water dogs and get a meritorious service. Could it be that this Fu Ning is this kind of origin?

Thinking of this, Che Lihan immediately led his troops out of Di Yu City.

However, he was very careful, wearing armor, strapping his robe, and slashing his crotch, just in case. Fu Ning is a child, only fifteen or sixteen, and he looks very immature. But the fluent Goguryeo language, with the arrogant tone peculiar to the Pyongyang aristocracy, immediately convinced Cherihan. Looking at his demeanor again, there is an innate aristocratic arrogance, which is by no means something that ordinary people can imitate.

Behind Fu Ning, there was a village of soldiers and horses, all dressed as cavalry.

Escorting these more than 20 Sui prisoners of war looked dusty and quite tiring.

"Fu Bingcao, you are ......"

Fu Ning gave up his hand on the horse, "These Sui dogs are trying to take advantage of the heavy snow to smuggle into Sashui. Fortunately, it was discovered by my department during the inspection. More than 20 people were killed on the spot, and the rest were captured by me. This time back to Sashui City, the road is quite long. I, the children, are also very tired. Therefore, these Sui dogs were escorted here, and by the way, they wanted to find the deputy general to ask for a glass of water and wine, I don't know if it is possible? ”

Chelihan's eyes narrowed and swept over the bodies of the Sui prisoners of war.

I saw the two giants at the head, who were nearly a foot tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist. One is black and the other is white, and when you stop there, there is a strong murderous aura. His clothes were ragged and his face was stained with blood. The rest of the prisoners of war were also mentally lethargic, with dirty clothes and armor, shivering in the cold wind.

The doubts in my heart disappeared at once.

Che Lihan hurriedly nodded and laughed: "Fu Bingcao can come to Di Yu City, how can I welcome it?"

Someone came, put these Sui dogs in prison, and quickly arranged a place to live for Fu Bing Cao's subordinates...... Fu Bingcao, I set up a banquet in the mansion, and I also invited Fu Bingcao, don't refuse. ”

Fu Ning hurriedly said: "Vice General Che is beautiful, Fu Ningyan dares to refuse?"

In this way, how about I take the children to settle down first, and then have a drink with the deputy general, how about it? ”

It can be seen that Fu Ning cares a lot about his subordinates. But if you think about it, you can understand that the children of nobles like Fu Ning, who temporarily joined the army, most of the soldiers and horses under his command were private soldiers at home. Otherwise, with the few men and horses in Goguryeo, how can he be able to lead it?

Since he is a child of a nobleman, he will inevitably be a little arrogant.

The so-called seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister, the private soldiers brought by these noble children, I am afraid that they are also consciously superior.

Che Lihan nodded hurriedly, and ordered someone to take over the prisoners of war from Fu Ning's men, and listened to the big white man scolding as he walked: "Little white face, don't be rampant!" If you hadn't used tricks, how could Grandpa have been captured by you? It's a man, just let go of grandpa, let's fight three lilies. ”

"Who is this guy?"

"A Sui dog team is positive, but it is indeed a strong martial artist. It took me more than a dozen people's lives to capture him...... And the big black guy next to him, if it weren't for me to trap them in the snow and want to capture them in one fell swoop, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible. ”

It turns out that it was obtained by a trick!

Che Lihan couldn't help but glance at the black and white man curiously, and said in his heart: Hurry up and let this black and white man fight if I arrange a gladiatorial fight, and I don't know who can win.

He hurriedly let Fu Ning into the city.

When Fu Ning's subordinates and the black and white man staggered by, a young man wearing a felt hat nodded lightly at them, and the black and white man immediately stopped struggling.

Che Lihan first arranged a camp for Fu Ning, and Fu Ning took people and settled in directly.

He took off his armor and put on a white cotton robe, and his black hair was scattered over his shoulders and tied around his head with a gold ring.

At this moment, the curtain of the door was raised.

A young man in a felt hat walked into the tent with two samurai.

"Hongyi, Xie Ke and they have already gone in, and it is estimated that Che Lihan will invite you to the banquet in a while.

You have to try to be as humble as possible and stall for time...... I'll start my action after nightfall, and until then, make sure you keep Cherihan in your tent so that we can move. Shen Guang and Feng Guo will go with you and will be responsible for keeping you safe. If there is no accident, when the fire breaks out in the city, it is the time for you to do it. If there is an accident, the three of you must not fight, you need to fight as soon as possible to join me. ”

Fu Ning looked solemn and nodded vigorously.

The young man is Zheng Yanqing; And Fu Ning is also Zheng Hongyi.

After evacuating from Dacheng Mountain, Zheng Hongyi took Shen Guang and Feng Guo to Sashui first to inquire about the news. Zheng Yanqing took Yuan Conghuwei, carrying ten days of grain and grass, and one of the two horses, and within ten days, raided and plundered 16 military villages, and ambushed Park Changjin.

The purpose was to confuse the Goguryeo people......

Judging from the results of the battle, the Goguryeo people carried out the practice of clearing the wilderness with strong walls and tried to compress their space for activities, and it was obvious that they had entered the hub of Zheng Yanqing. Just as it was snowing heavily, after Yan Qing attacked Yuanshan again, he immediately fled north, and met with Zheng Hongyi and his party near Di Yuling.

However, after ten days of hard fighting, Zheng Yanqing also suffered heavy losses.

Twelve Yuan were killed in battle from the Tiger Guard, which made his heart ache. After arriving at Di Yuling, Zheng Hongyi also figured out the situation of Di Yuling, and was even more sure that Mai Zizhong and others, as well as the Sui prisoners of war after the defeat of the Sashui army, were all imprisoned here. It's just that now the Goguryeo people are busy encircling and suppressing Zheng Yanqing, so they haven't counted the list of prisoners. If it weren't for this, Mai Zizhong and others would have been sent to Pyongyang a long time ago.

Assault, it is certainly impossible.

Not to mention the disparity in troops, Yuan Conghuwei was also very tired from the battle.

So, after Zheng Yanqing and others discussed, they decided to take a risk...... Yan Qing repeatedly explained the details in the military tent, and Zheng Hongyi and others also remembered them one by one.

In the evening, Zheng Huai'an came in and said: "Son, Che Lihan sent someone to invite Sone to the mansion for a banquet." ”

Zheng Huai'an followed Zheng Hongyi and could speak a few words of Goguryeo. Zheng Hongyi listened, stood up, and tidied up his clothes.

"Yanqing, then I'll go to the banquet!"

Zheng Yanqing told again: "Hongyi, be more careful. ”

Then he glanced at Shen Guang and Feng Guo, the two of them nodded in unison, followed closely behind Zheng Hongyi, and walked out of the military tent......
