In June of the eighth year of the Great Cause, Yu Zhongwen, the general of the Right Yiwei, with Xue Shixiong, the general of the Right Yiwei, as the vanguard, Yu Wenshu, the general of the Left Yiwei, as the left army, and Xin Shixiong, the general of the Right Tunwei, as the right army, with a total of 305,000 people, forcibly crossed the Yalu River and advanced to Pyongyang City...... The one who commanded the battle in Liaodong was Goguryeo Mo's detachment and Lu Yizhi's Wende.

This person first burned the pontoon bridge on the east bank of Liaoshui, ambushed the vanguard of the Sui army, and killed Mai Tiezhu, Qian Shixiong, Meng Jincha and other Sui generals.

Subsequently, the Sui army forcibly crossed the Liaoshui and defeated Yizhi Wende on the east bank of the Liaoshui, killing more than 10,000 people.

Yizhi Wende ordered the military lords of the three cities in Liaodong to fight on their own, and if they can, they can fight, and if they can't, they can surrender, as long as they can hold back the Sui army. At this point, Yizhi Wende gave enough trust to the military lords of the three cities in Liaodong. With the Sui army, it is exactly the opposite state.

Subsequently, the Yizhi Wende soldiers retreated to the banks of the Yalu River.

However, after Yu Zhongwen's troops and horses threw off Liaodong and rushed towards the Yalu River, Yizhi Wende could no longer gain a foothold on both sides of the Yalu River.

So, he set a plan.

Ask the Sui army to surrender in order to delay time.

Yizhi Wende personally crossed the Yalu River and came to Yu Zhongwen's camp to ask for surrender. Yu Zhongwen originally wanted to kill him, but Sima of the Sui army, the consolation envoy of Liaodong, and Liu Shilong, the right minister of Shangshu, persuaded Yu Zhongwen to let go of Yizhi Wende on the grounds that the two countries were fighting and not beheading the envoys.

Liu Shilong is a consolation envoy in Liaodong, and he pays more attention to how to appease the people of Liaodong.

He could ignore Eulji Wende's important surname to Goguryeo, but Yu Zhongwen couldn't ignore it. But Yu Zhongwen was fascinated by the ghost, so he agreed with Liu Shilong's opinion and let Yizhi Wende go...... Yu Zhongwen sent troops from Lelang Road and defeated the Goguryeo people in Wugu City. After he let go of Echiwen De, he regretted it and hurriedly sent people to chase after him, trying to capture Ezhi Wende back.

Who knows, Ezhi Wende has already taken precautions and prepared a boat on the Yalu River.

Even if Yu Zhongwen chased him to the riverside, he failed to capture Yizhi Wende. On the contrary, Yizhi Wende also left a five-character quatrain and sent it to Yu Zhongwen.

The poem says: God studies astronomy, and seconds calculate poor geography. Victory is high, and contentment is a wish.

It means that you are very powerful in Yu Zhongwen, and you know astronomy and geography. But now that you have overcome me, be content. Otherwise, it could be a disaster for you...... On the surface, Eulzhi Wende is praising Yu Zhongwen.

But in fact, it was teasing Yu Zhongwen's nerves: Aren't you very powerful? If you're not afraid of disaster, come and chase me.

Yu Zhongwen has won many victories, how can he stand this kind of teasing?

In addition, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty heard that Yizhi Wende had crossed the river and asked for surrender, so he immediately ordered Yu Zhongwen to leave Yizhi Wende behind and send it to Liaodong.

There was the teasing of Yizhi Wende in the front, and the edict of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, Yu Zhongwen had no other way but to chase and kill across the river and take down Yizhi Wende. It's just that he wanted to cross the river to pursue, but the generals under his command didn't agree. After all, they belong to different soldiers and horses, and it is quite difficult for Yu Zhongwen to coordinate. finally persuaded Yu Wenshu, Xue Shixiong, Xin Shixiong and others, and Yu Zhongwen commanded the troops and horses to cross the river.

Ulji Moondeok led his troops to resist, but he was defeated in successive battles and retreated to Pyongyang.

Yu Zhongwen won many victories, and even won seven battles in a row, gradually giving birth to arrogance, chasing more and more fiercely, and rushing forward...... Who knows, this Yizhi Wende is using a strategy to lure the enemy into the depths.

At the expense of the soldiers and horses of the ten towns, he lured the troops of Zhongwen to the Cheongcheon River, which was only thirty miles away from Pyongyang. As early as when Eozhi Wende asked for surrender, he sent someone to inform the general of Qingchuan City stationed on the bank of the Sashui River, who was also his nephew, Eosui, who still had a dam in Sashui to store water. When Zhongwen's soldiers were in the water and half-crossed, Yizhisheng destroyed the dam upstream and released water to attack.

The flood that had been accumulating for a whole month swept away countless Sui military surnames at once.

At the same time, Gao Jianwu and Yizhi Wende commanded nearly 100 soldiers and horses to attack the Sui army from all directions. Yu Zhongwen and Yu Wenshu fled in embarrassment under the desperate cover of their own soldiers. ran 450 miles in a day and night, and when he retreated to Liaodong, there were only more than 2,700 soldiers and horses left under his command; Xue Shixiong, the general of the Right Yiwei, was trapped in Baishi Mountain, with no food and grass inside, and no rescuers outside...... Xin Shixiong, the general of the right guard, was scattered by the chaotic army, and the troops and horses of his department were annihilated; Only the general of the rear army, Liaodong comforted Wei Wensheng, and was able to be the only one in the army.

The 305,000 Sui troops retreated to Liaodong, but there were only tens of thousands.

More than 200,000 Sui troops were either killed in battle in Goguryeo or scattered around, becoming the target of being hunted down and encircled by the Goguryeo people.

Yizhi Wende issued a military order, piled up the corpses of the Sui army, and built a series of Jingguan to deter the Sui army.

***

Zheng Yanqing couldn't help but gasp after reading this battle report.

Liaodong fiasco, sure enough, happened...... But I never thought that it would end in such a way. In my memory, I only know that the Sui army was defeated in Liaodong, and the territory of Goguryeo became a sea of corpses and blood. But Zheng Yanqing didn't know that the Sui army had a victory in sight!

First, Laihu'er attacked Pyongyang and almost captured the city.

Now Yu Zhongwen led his troops to attack Sashui, thirty miles outside Pyongyang, which was later known as the Cheongcheon River.

Victory was clearly in sight, but it was an inexplicable defeat. No wonder Emperor Yang of Sui would not be convinced, and would launch the second and third battles of Liaodong.

If this is put on Zheng Yanqing, I'm afraid I won't be able to swallow this breath.

Zheng Yanqing took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Has this battle report ever been confirmed?" ”

"Confirmed...... Wonsan Jun Sima said that the battle report came from Pyongyang and had been verified. Yanqing, let's ...... Lost? ”

Zheng Hongyi gritted his teeth, with a hint of unwillingness.

Zheng Yanqing's cheeks twitched twice, and forced a smile, "If you lose, let's fight back next time." ”

He pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Pass my order, collect the grain and grass, and evacuate Yuanshan for two hours." ”

"What about the captives?"

Zheng Yanqing hesitated slightly, and then whispered: "Let Xiaowen take Da Heizi and Ah Ling, deal with them all, and not a single one will be left." ”

"That's a few thousand!"

"When they did the first year of junior high school, I did fifteen...... Hongyi, at this time, you must not kill all of them with the slightest kindness of a woman. ”

Zheng Hongyi's face turned pale, but he still nodded and turned to leave.

There are so many captives that it is not easy to kill them one by one. However, when Zheng Hongyi was cleaning up the Yuanshan Treasury, he found 500 jars of tung oil. It was originally used to ignite the fire, but now it has become a murderous weapon. Dou Xiaowen immediately asked people to pile up all the tung oil on the camp gate of the prisoner camp, and then asked people to block the camp gate and set fire to the tung oil.

Although it is not comparable to the gasoline of later generations, five hundred jars of tung oil are stacked together, almost more than 20 tons.

Together, the entire prisoner camp turned into a sea of fire in an instant. Wonsan is close to the port, and the sea breeze is strong in the early morning.

The fire borrows the wind, and the wind fuels the fire.

But in an instant, the fire spread and spread to the surrounding houses.

Zheng Yanqing led his troops and evacuated Wonsan City. Zheng Hongyi collected nearly 100 pack horses from Yuanshan City, and swept away the grain and grass in the treasury.

After the group withdrew from Wonsan City, they watched the raging flames of Wonsan City.

Zheng Yanqing subconsciously clenched the horse lance in his hand, his pupils contracted, and a touch of anger flashed.

"You ...... Kill everyone? Kindman cried out in terror, "How can you do such a beast's thing, if you are not known for your kindness?" ”

Zheng Yanqing raised his lance and smashed Jindeman off the horse.

"If you want to live, shut up."

He wasn't in a good mood either. Previously, he had killed many people...... But every time he kills, he has a last resort. For example, killing Pei Wenan was to rescue Duoduo; The White Bird Temple killed the horse thieves and bandits in order to save his life. This time, however, he didn't have any reason. In Yanqing's surname, there was originally a bit of the imprint of later generations. And now, with this raging fire, that imprint has also vanished. Sitting on his horse, he slowly took out the mask from his pocket.

The mask covers the face, except for a pair of shining eyes, only the mouth is bare.

Sometimes, you don't need a reason to kill...... 200,000 soldiers and horses were built by the Goguryeo people to form Jingguan. So why does he need mercy?

Above this place of death, mercy equals shit!

"Heaven is benevolent, but only to friends. If it's a jackal, it's only a spear. ”

His tone was cold, making people shudder.

Xie Yingdeng glanced at him suspiciously, then at Zheng Hongyi, and had the heart to ask, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back again.

At this time, Zheng Yanqing had an inexplicable coercion, which made him dare not approach.

Dou Xiaowen and Xiong Kuang Kan Ling rushed out of the sea of fire with a cavalry army and came to Zheng Yanqing.

"Get on your horse and get out!"

Zheng Yanqing saluted them, then turned his horse's head and galloped away.

Shen Guang said indifferently: "Your Royal Highness Princess, if you don't get on the horse again, I'm afraid that you will have to worry about your surname." ”

Jindeman glared at Shen Guang fiercely. He was knocked off the horse by Zheng Yanqing just now, but he was not too seriously injured. It's just a scratch of the skin, which is nothing to her. It's just that she doesn't understand, why is the handsome-looking young man of the Sui Kingdom like a fierce god in the blink of an eye?

She pulled the saddle and got on the horse, and under Shen Guang's care, followed the cavalry.

At this time, her status as a princess is useless. Jindeman believes that if she can't keep up, Shen Guang will never be merciful to her.

Zheng Yanqing led everyone to leave Yuanshan and went straight to Woniu Mountain in the north.

It will be late and the temperature in the mountains will drop sharply.

The group hid in a remote mountain col.

After galloping all the way, Yanqing's mood was also soothed. He sat down beside a bonfire, stirring the fire with a burning stick, and thinking about what to do in the future. I originally wanted to leave by borrowing from Silla, but I didn't expect that the Silla country was also complicated.

As of now, the possible surname of the person who borrowed from Silla Baekje is very small.

If it had been known that the Sui army would be able to hit Sashui, it would have been better to evacuate north with Mai Zizhong and them.

By the way, I don't know if Mai Zizhong and them are in one place with Yu Zhongwen? It's just another big defeat, I'm afraid it will make Mai Zizhong and Feng Zhijun feel very aggrieved. Zheng Yanqing thought of this, the corners of his mouth curled, revealing a faint smile. He took out the battle report, looked at it carefully for a while, and then threw the battle report into the campfire, and the pair of eyes under the mask narrowed into a line.

"Shen Guang, let's assemble." Yan Qing suddenly stood up and commanded.

Shen Guang didn't understand why Zheng Yanqing suddenly gathered people at this time. But judging from Childe's reaction, something must have happened.

He immediately went down to give the order.

A moment later, except for Zheng Yanqing, one hundred and four people, all assembled.

Zheng Yanqing cleaned up his clothes, covered his face with a mask, and climbed a big rock.

"Your lords and I, since the defeat of Pyongyang, have been fighting all the way to the east and west, killing countless enemies in March, and making outstanding achievements."

Except for Zheng Hongyi, who probably understood Zheng Yanqing's intentions, the others, including Xie Ke, Shen Guang, and Dou Xiaowen, didn't know what he thought. As for the eighty-eight Yuan Conghuwei and Zheng Huai'an and other ten baggage soldiers, they didn't understand what kind of medicine Zheng Yanqing was selling in his throat.

However, Yan Qing's words made everyone quite proud.

With a remnant army, he fought thousands of miles and killed countless enemies, which is indeed something to be proud of.

Yan Qing said in a deep voice: "Zheng Mou originally wanted to lead everyone to kill out of this bitter cold place, and use Silla to let everyone go home safely."

But...... Silla is unrighteous, and we are at an end in our way home. ”

For a while, Yuan Cong's tiger guards were a little scratched.

Xie Ke frowned, glanced at Zheng Yanqing suspiciously, and felt more and more strange in his heart.

"Not only that, but because of my previous judgment error, we missed out on a great opportunity. Just a few days ago, Yu Zhongwen, the general of Zuo Yiwei, once waved his troops to Sashui. ”

"Huh?"

However, the Goguryeo people were very cunning, and they set up an ambush in Sashui and flooded the Ninth Army. Our army was defeated, and the general led his troops back to Liaodong. The 300,000-strong army was almost completely annihilated, the Goguryeo people pursued everywhere, and the soldiers and horses of the ten towns moved together, and the situation was even more dangerous than before.

We're in a desperate situation!

Surrender? I can't escape death......

If you kill it, although you may die for a lifetime, you will have a chance to survive after all. I don't know what everyone thinks, but Zheng is unwilling to be arrested. We were in Wonsan, in Seoul, in the town of Muhibiscus, and we had killed the Goguryeo people and fled...... We can gallop Goguryeo, capture the princess of the Silla people, and be invincible and invincible! What is it all about? It's a knife and a gun in our hands! ”

Yanqing's tone was suddenly high-pitched.

The layer of despair that had shrouded everyone's faces before gradually dissipated.

Yan Qing said sharply: "Now, the Goryeo barbarians are eyeing us outside, wanting to take our heads and others...... Haha, it's a dream. If we can kill Hibiscus Town, we can kill Sashui and return to Liaodong. Others regard the Goguryeo barbarians as jackals, but the jackals were killed by us and burned to death. Think about the fire in Wonsan, and think about the past three months.

The spears in our hands are full of the blood of jackals; The war horses under us have leveled their military town.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have not yet been defeated. From now on, we will step by step, trampling the corpses of the Goguryeo people home. With your spears, with your hands, and with your teeth, tear to pieces all the jackals that dare to stand in our way...... From now on, I want you to hold on to your guns and spears and be ready to fight. What if someone tries to stop us? ”

Everyone was teased by Zheng Yanqing's words, and they gritted their teeth one by one.

Suddenly, Kan Ling shouted: "Kill them!" ”

"That's right, kill them!"

"Whoever dares to stop him will take the life of his dog."

In the col, there was a fiery murderous aura. All of them were dancing with knives and guns, and they were roaring...... The voice echoed through the valley for a long time.
