The sun peeked out of the vast mountains and forests, and shot golden arrows like a samurai lurking in the dark as he began to attack, rekindling every spot that was shot. The temperature around them began to get higher and higher, and after the cool air accumulated overnight, it was completely defeated, and soon an army was wiped out, and the land was once again ruled by a heat wave.

The intellectuals lurking among the leaves were like spies planted by the sun on the earth, encouraged by the arrival of reinforcements, and they rose up in response, waving their flags and shouting for the main force with their chirps.

Unfortunately, this will not last long, the rampant of the sun cannot last forever, it only takes a cold wind to reverse the situation, and then its power will slide all the way until the earth falls under the control of the cold again.

The so-called national fortune is the same as the alternation of the four seasons. Today's Goryeo is like the sun at the end of summer, all it lacks is a fierce autumn wind. And this autumn wind is the army of the Silk Country. Su Chengdong sat on his horse and looked at the scenery ahead, wiping a handful of sweat from his forehead - after a night of marching, the troops began to feel tired like him, and when the sun fully released its power, they had to set up tents to take refuge.

Since crossing the Yalu River two days ago, the Liaodong army has only encountered fierce resistance from the Goryeo army, but the size is only 100 people, and there has been no trace of the Goryeo army since. It seems that the news of the retreat of the Goryeo army to the south is true, and there will be no more shadows of the Goryeo army before it enters Dingzhou.

The main reason for the march was to prevent the Koreans from rushing to harvest the season's grain before the army of the Silk Country advanced to Pyongyang. In order to completely stifle the resistance of the Goryeo army, the country of silk asked Wang Hanxin and the two junior generals of Godingbian to lead the elite cavalry to carry out a three-year desperate plan against Goryeo, almost completely destroying the agricultural forces north of the Daedong River in Goryeo, making this vast area fall into a desperate situation without food, which led to a large number of Goryeo people fleeing south. The north of the Cheongchon River was almost a no-man's land, so it was difficult for the Goryeo army to deploy sufficient defenses north of the Cheongcheon River, even if they wanted to hold out, because there was simply not enough food to feed these troops.

Of course, the side effects of this practice are also obvious. First of all, the level of agricultural development in this area has regressed by at least a few decades, and there is still a long way to go to restore it after the occupation of the Silk Country. Secondly, this no-man's land is also a huge challenge for the Silk Country's march. Because there is simply no grain to collect along the way. This has also greatly increased the pressure on food supplies. Fortunately, all this was planned in advance, and the country of silk had been preparing for three years, and this time the speed of the army was also very slow, step by step, and the purpose was to eat the land of Goryeo into the stomach one by one. This time, the country of silk sent 200,000 troops, and the eastern route led 75,000 troops by the fierce general Gai Yanxiao, Zhong He, and Hua Meng were the deputy generals, and they went out of Hamgyong Road to the south; The western route led by Su Chengdong led 125,000 troops. Gao Dingbian, Wang Hanxin was the deputy general, and Zheng Menglong led the water army as the flank, and at the same time assisted in providing food supplies. Neither of the two armies moved south, but steadily marched on foot, constantly strengthening supply points and strongholds along the way, and at the same time advancing southward.

The only surprise was that Lord He Ling, the protector of Liaodong, did not personally take command of the expedition, but made unified arrangements in the rear. This matter is not in He Ling's style. It is rumored that He Ling intends to train Su Chengdong as the heir of the Liaodong Protectorate, so let him command the main force of the Western Route Army. It was intended for him to conquer Pyongyang in order to accumulate merit and popularity. Speaking of Su Chengdong's achievements and prestige, although he is not enough to protect the capital of Liaodong, he is also the only one in the Liaodong army. Over the years, he has not only made great contributions to Chang Miao's death, but also during He Ling's tenure as the protector of Liaodong, the defensive offensive strategies of Liaodong and Youzhou were all carried out under his arrangement, and his prestige was certainly not as good as Chang Miao. But it is already an existence that surpasses He Ling in the Liaodong Army. In fact, only the senior generals know the details, the reason why He Ling did not take command of the expedition is that he is in Liaodong, which can deter Tuqi from daring to invade the territory, and secondly, because He Ling's physical condition can no longer allow him to expedition to Goryeo.

Seventy-year-old veteran He Ling's physical condition deteriorated significantly at the beginning of this year. Although he did a perfect job in front of outsiders, everyone who was really around him could feel that the veteran's pace was not as good as before. The doctor asserted that He Ling's life would be difficult until next summer, and He Ling himself intended to throw this old bone on the battlefield of Goryeo, but considering that Chang Miao's tragedy directly led to a low-hanging fruit victory and finally failed, the generals still stopped the veteran's stubbornness in time. At this moment, the actual value of Liaodong Protector is far greater than the effect of letting him venture out on an expedition.

Because of this, the Silk Country is extremely cautious in this march, because they can't afford to make any more mistakes, rather than coming back to remedy the problem, it is better to arrange everything properly, a little bit of accumulated victory fruits, from the perspective of time, it is still too late, in case of any accident to He Ling, the Silk Country can also be transferred to the place without retreating.

Su Chengdong couldn't help but sigh: If this battle can capture the capital of Goryeo, the war should come to an end, and then the six-year-long war since Chang Miao will also come to an end. What a long six years. In the past six years, many of his comrades and siblings have died on the battlefield, and even Chang Miao, the lord of the Imperial Protector, was assassinated by Goryeo, and this loss and regret cannot be made up for by anything. Unfortunately, even if the war with Goryeo is over, how long will the war with Turkyo last? As a military general, it is good to have a place to establish meritorious deeds, but as a person, you can't talk about happiness when you are caught in the endless killing vortex.

Although Su Chengdong is only thirty-two years old, he is already in awe and avoidance of this battlefield like those older colleagues in terms of mentality. I'm afraid that only the younger generation is still tireless in this battle on the battlefield, right?

The younger generation that Su Chengdong said is, of course, his lieutenants Gao Dingbian and Wang Hanxin. The difference between these two people is only two years, and the average age is exactly twenty years old, but they have already sat under and from the sixth grade, which is really unbelievably impressive. These two have been fighting on the bloody battlefield for the past few years without the slightest tiredness, it seems that this is an era that belongs to them, right?

While thinking so in his heart, Su Chengdong commanded his subordinates to start camping and resting, waiting for the sun to go down and the weather to cool down before continuing to march.

"Report! The striker Gao Dingbian has arrived in Dingzhou City and has already started a confrontation with the Goryeo army! ”

"It's so fast, this kid is still so energetic." Su Chengdong sighed, and suddenly he asked as if he had thought of something: "Gao Dingbian?" What about Wang Hanxin's kid? ”

"This, Lord Wang has already gone straight to Turtle City."

"This kid still doesn't stop!" Su Chengdong cursed, and then took out the combat map he carried with him and unfolded it. Wang Hanxin's speed of action exceeded the expectations of the battle plan, so it was necessary to readjust the deployment of the army to match it. So Su Chengdong complained while devoting himself to careful calculations. (To be continued......)
