Changkou Town was attacked, and the elite soldiers of a town were defeated, and 150,000 stones, grains, and grass were burned.

What's even more terrifying is that, according to those defeated Goguryeo people, Zheng Yanqing, the chief general of the Sui army, has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and can summon heavenly soldiers and generals to help. Yuanjialuo, the leader of the Changkou army, died at the hands of the heavenly generals, and there are countless heavenly soldiers who obey the dispatch...... Mid-autumn is approaching, and the temperature has dropped sharply.

The weather in Goguryeo, similar to that in Liaodong, was colder earlier than in the Central Plains.

At this time, in Luoyang, which is not far away, it is in the crisp season of autumn. However, in some places of Goguryeo, it has been cold and windy, which makes people shiver.

Along the banks of the Sashui River, the green pines are lush.

Eulzhi Wende stood on the embankment, looking at the rushing water, stunned.

A black robe was draped over his body, his body was slightly rickety, and his gray hair fluttered in the cold wind. He wore a pair of black boots at his feet, a shawl, and a gold ring of hair on his forehead. Holding a long knife in his hand, he didn't say a word. From early in the morning, he stood on the bank of the Sashui River.

Under the embankment, more than 100 guards waited quietly.

With admiring eyes, they stared at the not-so-tall back on the riverbank. is worthy of Lord Ghost Fox, full of clever schemes, killing the people of Sui and fleeing in embarrassment...... It's just that this war has ended, and I heard that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty has ordered the collection of troops, and the crisis in Goguryeo has passed, why is Mo Lizhi worried again? Looking at his appearance, it seems that he is more dignified than when the millions of Sui troops pressed the realm.

It is impossible for the soldiers to understand the sorrow in Eulzhi Wende's heart, let alone understand his worries at the moment.

Shiduoshan Town was attacked, the Yizhi family was almost wiped out, and Yizhi Wende's biological flesh and blood, and even his mother's wife, all died tragically.

Although he has won a big victory, although he has made great achievements, but the family is gone, what should he do?

Everyone thought that Yizhi Wende would definitely raise troops to pursue Zheng Yanqing and avenge his clansmen. But no one expected that he would not move.

Standing on the riverside, the cold wind howled, blowing Eji Wende's robe, and hunting.

Zheng Yanqing, do you want to cross the river?

He muttered to himself, with a sad look in his eyes, "It's okay, I flooded your Ninth Army's 300,000 soldiers and horses, and you killed my entire family." You want me to do what you want, and I won't do what you want. As long as I keep this salama water, and see how you escape. ”

Etozhi Wende muttered, unconsciously, gritting his teeth.

At this moment, from the direction of Sashui City, a cavalry army galloped forward.

The general headed by him is the nephew of Otoshi Wende, the military lord of Sashui City, Otoshi. He was over thirty years old, born with a strong and strong physique, giving people a heroic style. But if you think that he is the kind of fierce general with developed limbs and a simple mind, it is very wrong.

In fact, this Yizhi student inherited the mind of Yizhi Wende, and was born with a seven-trick exquisite heart.

After the defeat of the Pyongyang army, he was the first to take action. Not only did he block the ferry along the Sashui coast, but he also sent troops to clear the Sui army that had retreated from Pyongyang, and won almost every battle, and now he has been canonized by the King of Goguryeo as the general of Sasu City.

Otoji was born under the river embankment and jumped down.

He hurried up the embankment. But then he slowed down his steps and slowly walked towards Eulchi Wende.

"Ah Sheng, but there is news of Zheng Yanqing?"

Ulzhi Wende didn't look back and asked in a deep voice.

Yizhisheng hurriedly walked two steps quickly, and arched his hand behind Yizhi Wende: "Uncle, I just got the battle report from Yuanshan, and it was said that Zheng Yanqing led his troops to attack Changkou Town, killed Yuanjialuo, and burned 150,000 stone grain and grass in Changkou Town. ”

"Long mouth?"

Etozhi Wende turned his head and looked at Otoshi in surprise, "How is this possible?" It's not that Zheng Yanqing has only more than 100 people, but he can break through Changkou Town, which is supported by high walls and thick walls...... Under Yuanjialuo's subordinates, there is not still a town of soldiers and horses, even if it is not good, it is impossible to be defeated! ”

Yi Zhisheng looked a little embarrassed.

"Ah Sheng, is there something wrong?"

"According to the soldiers who retreated from the defeat of Changkou, the Sui general Zheng Yanqing has unpredictable abilities and can summon heavenly soldiers and generals to help...... Yuanjialuo died at the hands of the heavenly soldiers and generals he summoned, and there were countless soldiers and horses under his command, so he broke through Changkou Town. They also said that Zheng Yanqing intended to seize the royal capital after laying down the long mouth. It is also said that the people of Silla and Baekje are also involved and are ready to join forces with Jung Yeon-kyeong...... Nowadays, the whole of Pyongyang is panicked, and many adults are very scared. ”

The meaning of the 'adult' in the mouth of Yizhisheng is not the same as the 'adult' in later generations.

In the Goguryeo Kingdom, the 'Lords' special aristocratic class. Even if it is a white body, as long as it is noble, it can be called an 'adult'.

In a way, Goguryeo's national conditions are very similar to those of Silla.

There was also conflict between the royal family and the aristocracy. It's just that the royal power of Goguryeo is extremely strong, and there are other cadres, such as Eulji Moondeok, who are loyal, so there will be no phenomenon of the Silla Mei clan and the royal family fighting for power. At least for now, there is no such situation.

Yizhi Wende said angrily: "Evil words confuse the people, and evil words confuse the people...... Whoever utters these words shall be beheaded. ”

In my heart, I was also secretly surprised: This Zheng Yanqing is worthy of being a protégé of the eldest grandson, and he is scheming...... It can always accurately hit our weak underbelly, and even create such rumors to confuse the morale of the army. In time, he will surely become a confidant of our country.

Thinking of this, Yizhi Wende's murderous heart suddenly rose.

Originally, he still had a little love for Zheng Yanqing. Even when Zheng Yanqing killed his whole family, although he hated it to the core, he still admired him.

But now......

"Then Zheng Yanqing has no ability to summon any heavenly soldiers and generals, I'm afraid that there is something strange."

"Uncle, this Zheng Yanqing is really too arrogant...... If he is allowed to make such a mess, I am afraid that sooner or later it will cause a catastrophe. The nephew has sent scouts to find out his whereabouts. Once discovered, he will not give up with him. ”

"No, Zheng Yanqing won't be so simple."

Ezhi Wende pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Is there any news from Lord Dong?" How did the king react? ”

"I only heard that the king sent an edict ordering the eastern lords to expel the Silla people from the country, and at the same time stationed troops on the southern front to prevent Silla and Baekje from rebelling."

"Kim Bojing will never act without permission, and the people of Baekje will not be able to make trouble if they have not recovered.

The words of fools should not be believed. The king asked the eastern lords to be stationed in the south, and I am afraid that he would lose his calculations...... In this way, we will go back immediately, and I will become the king of books, and ask the eastern lord to sit in Pyongyang to stabilize people's hearts. Ah Sheng, you immediately give an order to order all the military villages in Sashui to strengthen their vigilance...... As soon as the enemy's traces were discovered, they immediately lit a beacon fire and surrounded and intercepted them. But remember, you can't go it alone. ”

The so-called individual soldier is not a person, but a military village.

Although Yizhi Wende still doesn't know how many people Zheng Yanqing has in his hands, it is certain that the number of people will definitely not be too much. As for the so-called heavenly soldiers and generals, he categorically would not believe it. However, for the combat effectiveness of Zheng Yanqing's Sui army, Yizhi Wende did not despise it at all.

A group of soldiers and horses who can crisscross the territory of Goguryeo for five months, with no grain and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, but they have won successive battles, their combat effectiveness and morale must be extraordinary. The result of a single soldier's action may only be a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger and adding casualties. Therefore, after discovering Zheng Yanqing's deeds, he must not act rashly. It is best to rely on the military village to hold on, hold him back, and wait for reinforcements to attack at the same time.

"If Zheng Yanqing slaughters my village, will it be possible to stand by and watch?"

Yizhi Wende thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Ah Sheng, if it doesn't work, use the strategy of clearing the wilderness with a strong wall." Immediately you will order all the people of the villages along the Sashui to be moved into the Dock Fort. As a result, Zheng Yanqing will not be able to get heavy supplements, and he will definitely not be able to hold on for too long. ”

"Uncle's plan is wonderful!"

Yizhisheng, a little slap on the back.

The uncle and nephew immediately returned to Sashui City, but before they could sit down, an envoy from Pyongyang came to deliver a message: The king ordered Ulji Wendeok to go to Pyongyang as soon as possible.

Eulzhi Wende was taken aback, "Now that the Sui dog has not been destroyed, why did the king invite me back to Pyongyang?" ”

The messenger said: "In the early hours of yesterday morning, Sui Dog attacked a farm 17 miles outside Pyongyang, killing all 317 people on the farm. Sui Gou also cut off their heads and built a fortress outside Pyongyang...... In the early hours of this morning, Sui Gou attacked again, burned down the Nanshui warehouse, and beheaded all the warriors of a village. When he left Pyongyang, the city was in fear. Now, the king is anxious to return from his branch. ”

When Yizhi Wende heard this, he and Yizhisheng glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: This Zheng Yanqing is too arrogant.

"Then how many soldiers and horses are in Zheng Yanqing's hands?"

"It is said that there are many ...... According to the survivors of Nanshuicang: The mountains are all over the wilderness, and the Sui army is full of ......"

"It can't be!"

Yizhi Wende was shocked, "Could it be that he Zheng Yanqing really has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth?" Where did you find these many soldiers and horses? ”

The messenger was silent, and Ezhi Wende also knew that it was useless to ask questions.

He first arranged for the messenger to go down, and then sat in silence in the middle hall.

Uljisheng said cautiously, "Uncle, could it be that the Silla people and Baekje people are really involved?" ”

"This ......"

Etozhi Wende was also a little hesitant at this time!

He would not believe the words of the Heavenly Soldiers, but there was no guarantee that the Silla and Baekje people would not take advantage of the fire to rob. Theoretically, the Sui army had just been defeated, and it was impossible for the Silla and Baekje people to take risks at this time. But if it weren't for Silla and Baekje sending troops, where would Zheng Yanqing get so many horses?

In his heart, Eulzhi Wende secretly blamed Gao Jianwu: When Pyongyang was newly defeated, why didn't he concentrate his forces and eliminate Zheng Yanqing?

"Uncle, ...... now"

"Since the king has a life, it is difficult for me to shirk it.

However, I never believe that there will be so many people in Zheng Yanqing's hands...... Ah Sheng, I will take the soldiers and horses of the ten towns and rush to Pyongyang immediately. If you stay in Sashui City, you must be on guard. All the surplus pontoon bridges were burned, and only a few necessary pontoon bridges remained.

At the same time, all ferry crossings need to be strictly guarded, and all boats ...... Regardless of the warships or civilian ships, control them all.

If Zheng Yanqing wants to attack Pyongyang, everything is easy to say, and I will let him die without a place to be buried; But if he has other tricks and wants to take advantage of the opportunity to cross Sashui and flee to Liaodong, you must leave him south of Sashui. Also, before the river freezes, you send someone to contact King Gao and ask him to assist in the ambush in Joseon...... If Zheng Yanqing can't be stopped, he must also be killed in North Korea. ”

Yi Zhisheng hurriedly intervened to answer the order.

But I was secretly a little unhappy in my heart: What does it mean that I can't stop Zheng Yanqing?

Hmph, I want to see if Zheng Yanqing was born with three heads and six arms. As long as he dares to get close to Sashui, I will let him come, and he can't go!
