Chapter 50: The Mountain of Corpses and the Sea of Blood (6)

Eulji Bundeok arrives in Pyongyang!

In the mountains of Dacheng, Zheng Yanqing was overjoyed.

Although he has not dealt with Ezhi Wende, from all the news he has received before, Etozhi Wende is an old fox who is good at forbearance.

slaughtered all his old and young people, but this guy did not move at all and stuck to the city of Sashui.

This made Zheng Yanqing have to re-evaluate this old guy...... If this old guy stays in Sasui, it will be difficult to cross the river.

So, Yanqing changed his strategy.

After capturing Changgu, he raided the surrounding areas of Pyongyang in order to intimidate the Goguryeo king Gowon and the Goguryeo nobles who lived in Pyongyang. The purpose is to let Ezhi Wende leave Sashui City, and then wait for an opportunity to find out the news of Mai Zizhong and others.

It's certainly risky......

But luckily, he succeeded!

In fact, when he captured Changkou Town, Yuan Cong's eyes on him from the tiger guards also changed. Originally, it was trust in him, but now, from trust, it has evolved into fanatical worship. This is not only the case for Yuan Conghuwei, but also for Xie Yingdeng and Dou Xiaowen.

Dou Xiaowen fought two consecutive battles and never attacked.

But his role is extremely obvious. His task was to take more than a dozen baggage soldiers and gallop through the mountains and forests. The horse's tail is tied to a branch, and when it runs, it produces a thick smoke of dust. From a distance, it looks like thousands of horses galloping. In Zheng Yanqing's words, this is called a suspicious strategy. Although it cannot be used to kill the enemy, its usefulness is far better than fighting on the battlefield.

"Zheng Gongzi, let's go to Sashui now?"

Feng Guo was excited, his eyes widened and asked, "Since the Yide Wenzhi has already left Sashui, then we can cross the river now?" ”

Yan Qing shook his head slightly, "Let's not go to Sashui and go to Yuanshan." ”

"Wonsan?"

Xie Ke and others were stunned: Isn't the ultimate goal of fighting a long mouth and attacking Pyongyang just to cross Sasui?

Now, the most likely obstacle, the Edwin Branch, has left Sashui City. At this time, it's just satsu water, so when will it be? Is it possible to wait for Yi Dewen to return to Sashui City, and then go to forcibly cross Sashui? In that case, wouldn't you be trapping yourself?

Although I was puzzled, no one stood up to ask.

Zheng Yanqing beckoned Zheng Hongyi, Shen Guang, and Feng Guo to step forward, and after whispering a few words in their ears, Zheng Hongyi immediately nodded and left with Shen Guang and Feng Guo.

"Hongyi has another priority, he will take some people away.

The rest of the people, after a stick of incense, leave Daeseongsan with me, and be sure to launch an attack on Wonsan before dawn. ”

Zheng Yanqing stood up and said with a solemn expression: "From now on, everyone will bring enough ten days of dry food, as well as arrows and armor. One person is equipped with two horses, the baggage team is canceled, and all of them are incorporated into the Tiger Guard. Xie Kexiaowen, each of you brings 30 people, and I, Kuhai and Kan Leng, bring 15 people...... Alright, let's all go down and get ready. We don't have much time, and the next ten days will be extremely hard. ”

Conquered Changkou Town, attacked and plundered Pyongyang's military village and grange, and Yuan Conghuwei killed and wounded nine people.

Although the more than ten soldiers brought over by Feng Guo have recovered their spirits, in terms of combat effectiveness, they have never been able to compare with Yuan Conghuwei.

Even, they can't be compared with Zheng Huaian and other heavy soldiers.

But now, Zheng Yanqing's subordinates are indeed useless. Counting the fifteen people taken away by Zheng Hongyi, the troops in Yan Qing's hands are less than 100 people.

Fortunately, everyone has won consecutive battles and has no objections.

Xie Ke and the others went down to prepare, while Zheng Yanqing took the majestic sea and Kan Leng, and rushed up a hill on horseback.

Standing on the hill, you can get a bird's eye view of the Pyongyang plain. In the distance, the towering city of Pyongyang is like a giant beast crawling on the plain in the night. The dam water is in the south and flows around Pyongyang, and then in the distance, it is reckless and dark, which makes people feel lonely...... "Brother, when can we go home?" ”

Xiong Kuohai stood behind Yan Qing and couldn't help but ask softly.

"Big Kuroko, homesick?"

"Yes!"

"What about you, Ah Ling, but you're homesick too?"

Kan Ling is not as strong as the sea, although the surname is rough, but he also knows the importance and knows how to advance and retreat.

He smiled, "I just miss my mother...... But she must be doing well now, but I don't know if I will have a chance to meet her. ”

"Ah Ling, scared?"

Kan Leng's face suddenly turned red, and he shook his head again and again, "Childe, Kan Ling is not afraid!" ”

"Hehe, it's good not to be afraid...... Don't worry, I can assure you that I will definitely take you back to Xingyang. ”

Back in Xingyang, I still have to clean up that Zheng Xing.

Zheng Yanqing's eyes flashed with a glint of anger. If it weren't for Zheng Xing, Pyongyang would have been defeated at the beginning, and they could have relied on the Nanshui camp to make a counterattack. Although it may not be possible to recapture the city of Pyongyang, it will not be displaced. Shaft, lack and conspiracy!

The ancients did not deceive me......

The kung fu of a stick of incense passed quickly.

Zheng Yanqing took the two of them from the majestic sea, turned over on their horses, and rushed down the hill.

A group of people, a total of eighty people, one hundred and sixty war horses, took advantage of the night, quietly out of Dacheng Mountain, and soon disappeared into the vast night.

***

After Ulji Mundeok arrived in Pyongyang, he immediately implemented the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness.

He infiltrated all the people around Pyongyang City and ordered all the military fortresses scattered on the Pyongyang Plain to be stationed in the city.

One should be heavy, and all that can be taken away is taken away.

If they can't be taken away, they will be burned.

He made up his mind that he would not take the initiative to attack until he heard Zheng Yanqing's truth. At the same time, he sent a letter to Goguryeo King Gao Yuan, imploring Gao Yuan to issue an edict to transfer Yuan Taizuo back to Haipu. First, Yuan Taizuo has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, stationed in Haipu, which can compress Zheng Yanqing's activity space.

In addition, it can also concentrate superior forces to prevent Zheng Yanqing from scheming.

Yizhi Wende is not very clear now, how many soldiers and horses Zheng Yanqing has. This lie is told a thousand times before it becomes the truth.

When the soldiers who fled from Changkou Town, from the Grange, and the military village swore to tell Ezhi Wende what they had seen and heard, Ezhi Wende's confidence couldn't help but be shaken a lot. Zheng Yanqing, where did he gather many soldiers and horses? Could it be that it is really a heavenly soldier?

Eulji Mundeok did not believe that the Silla and Baekje people were involved.

But out of prudence, he still advised Gao Yuan to send envoys to Silla and Baekje to inquire.

As for Silla, it was relatively better. Kinderman's body was found and sent back to Silla. In such a situation, how could Jin Bojing still help Zheng Yanqing? But Baekje, more or less...... After all, a few years ago, the Goguryeo people had slaughtered tens of thousands of Baekje people. Although the two sides later made peace, who can guarantee that the people of Baekje will not hold a grudge? Perhaps, it will be secretly tricky.

With this mixed and apprehensive feeling, Eulji Moon-deok spent the first night in Pyongyang.

Safe!

The next day, there was still no trace of Zheng Yanqing and others......

Just when Eulzhi Wende was puzzled, the direction of Wonsan came to report, and the rebuilt Wonsan Castle found Zheng Yanqing's traces. Park Chang-kim, the commander of the Wonsan Army, was ambushed on the way to patrol the reef and died in front of the battle!

Zheng Yanqing, went to Yuanshan again?

Ezhi Wende was surprised in his heart, and at the same time a little proud.

It seems that Zheng Yanqing did not have too many soldiers and horses in his hands, so he did not dare to storm Pyongyang, so he turned back and attacked Wonsan.

But what exactly does this guy want to do?

Why did you attack Pyongyang one moment, plunder Changkou Town one moment, and now ambush Wonsan Fortress? What exactly does he want? Is it possible that you plan to keep attacking like this?

Eulji Wendeok became more and more dazed, and hurriedly played to the king of Goguryeo.

But before he could write a recital, a messenger came to report that the whereabouts of Zheng Yanqing and others were found in the Taibai Mountains. A military fortress was destroyed, and the Sui army fled without a trace. Yuanshan, far from Taibai Mountain, but one day away, Zheng Yanqing actually attacked two places in one day?

Wing Chi Wende began to realize that the situation seemed to be out of control.

That night, another messenger came to report that the whereabouts of the Sui army had appeared around Seoul.

……

Standing in front of the map, Echiwende frowned.

In his hand, he held more than ten battle reports, and the map was also marked as a mess.

In just seven days, the traces of the Sui army were continuously found in Goguryeo, and nearly ten villages, post stations and military villages were raided and plundered by the Sui army.

Wonsan, Seoul, Taebaeksan...... Even in the upper reaches of Sashui, the movements of the Sui army were discovered.

Although the number of these small groups is small, their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and their methods are extremely ferocious. Its whereabouts are erratic and elusive. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the same army. Etozhi Wende connected all the points that had been attacked in a line, and as a result, it became even more chaotic. Sui Jun, how many people are there? Why are they attacking everywhere like this?

Yizhi Wende has the name of a ghost fox, and at this time it seems that he is a little lacking in his brains.

After pondering for a whole day, he entered the palace to meet Gao Yuan: "Your Majesty, the Sui dog is cunning, raiding everywhere, and it looks chaotic.

However, the old minister thought about it for a long time, but found that although Sui Gou seemed to be aimless, his intention was probably to mobilize our army. Once our army pursues and suppresses it, it will inevitably cause chaos because of its wide dispersion. If we don't get it right, our army will be led by the nose by the Sui dog, resulting in all kinds of earlier defenses full of flaws. At that time, Sui Gou can wait for the opportunity to cross the Sashui and return to Liaodong. ”

Gao Yuan's persecution is as tight as one another.

Under the heavy pressure of Gao Yuan and the Pyongyang aristocracy, Ulji Moondeok could only choose the most appropriate one among the possibilities he speculated.

Gao Yuan asked: "Then how should I deal with it?" ”

"In both Sasu and Pyongyang, Lao Chen implemented the policy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls. Today, it has not been eradicated, but it has begun to bear fruit.

Judging from the repeated attacks on the Grange by Sui dogs, their heavy grain and grass can no longer be helped. Therefore, as long as it continues and the whole country implements the policy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness, it will not be long before Sui Gou will definitely not be able to fight again. They now have no reinforcements, and if they lose supplies, seeing that this cold winter is coming, they will definitely be in chaos without a fight in the end. When the time comes, the king can break them one by one and kill Zheng Yanqing, and he can wait for them. ”

Gao Yuan heard this and nodded again and again.

"Since Da Mo Lizhi already has a belly case, according to what Da Mo Lizhi said. To the south of Sashui, from now on, the implementation of strong walls and clear the wilderness to reduce the space for Sui dog activities. However, Won Taejo still needs to garrison troops on the Baekje border...... Kim Bokyong has sent people to come, saying that after the beginning of spring, he will attack Baekje with us and divide its territory equally. If the eastern adults are allowed to return to Haipu at this time, I am afraid that the war will be delayed in the coming year. ”

Will Yuan Taizuo be able to come back?

Eulzhiwende didn't really care......

After leaving the palace, he always felt as if he had neglected something.

But what exactly is being overlooked? I couldn't remember it for a while. Yizhi Wende boarded the ox cart and murmured, "Zheng Yanqing, what do you want?" ”
