Shen Guang screamed a fluke and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he knew that it must be the brothers in the woods who saw that their situation was critical, and deliberately alarmed the birds and attracted the patrol soldiers.

But they were actually in a semi-exposed state, and Shen Guang did not hesitate to lead two hundred soldiers along the city wall towards the west gate.

Mu Wende also heard the chirping of the birds, he walked quickly to the north city wall, and looked at the woods suspiciously, the birds were actually alarmed, there must be something hidden in the woods, he felt a little bad in his heart, from the abnormality of the soldiers of the grain carrier, now there is an abnormal movement in the woods, is it possible that the Sui army has arrived?

At this moment, a terrible scream suddenly came from the riverside, Mu Wende suddenly turned around, he heard that it was the voice of the deputy city lord, he turned around and ran towards the city gate, shouting as he ran: "Close the city gate!" ”

This was followed by a series of screams, as the deputy city lord and his men discovered that the soldiers were not Goguryeo, and they turned and fled, being shot by the Sui soldiers who had caught up.

There was a great chaos outside the city gate, and countless people and soldiers poured into the city, only to see someone stumbling and shouting: "They are Sui army!" It's the Sui Army! ”

The gates of the city were even more panicked, and the gates began to close, but so many people poured into the city that they blocked the gates, and the gates could not be closed.

At this moment, hundreds of Sui soldiers suddenly came out of the darkness on the left side of the city gate, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong, and they instantly killed dozens of Goguryeo soldiers blocking the front and rushed into the city.

There was chaos under the city, the people trampled on each other, scrambling to enter the city, crying, shouting, screaming, accompanied by the creaking and squeezing of the gates, and in the middle there were three hundred Sui scouts mixed in, some of them resisted the city gates, and the other part fought into the city.

The piercing alarm bells above the city 'Dang! While! While! Ringing, the city lord Mu Wende led hundreds of people to rush down from the city, just in time to meet Shen Guang and a hundred of his men who entered the city, and the two sides fought fiercely at the city gate.

At this time, the horn sounded constantly outside the city, and 1,200 Sui soldiers came out of the ship, and then, one after another Sui warships appeared in the dark night, and tens of thousands of Sui soldiers under the leadership of the old man Hu'er, rushed down the big ship to kill the black bone city, and the black bone city fell in a shouting and killing.

Two days later, Zhang Xuan led tens of thousands of troops to land at the mouth of the Yalu River on more than 600 warships, Zhang Xuan immediately ordered Xu Shiji and Lai Hu'er to lead 10,000 troops each, and take 300 warships to march to the domestic city 200 miles upstream, the domestic city only has 1,000 defenders, the city is not difficult to attack, and it is easy to capture the domestic city, but Zhang Xuan considered seizing Xincheng and Liaodong City, and cutting off the back road of the Goguryeo army invading Liaodong from behind.

On the day of Xu Shiji's departure and Lai Hu'er, Zhang Xuan left Fang Xuanling to command the Sui army in Yalushui, and he himself personally led an army of 30,000 to march to Liaodong City.

Jang Hyun's strategy was very clear, temporarily giving up attacking Pyongyang, but concentrating his forces to annihilate the 70,000 Goguryeo troops who had invaded Liaodong, and pushing the scope of control to the line of the Yalu River to ensure the security of the Liaodong Peninsula by land.

At the same time, in order to contain the Goguryeo army in Pyongyang and try to prevent them from going north to rescue, Zhang Xuan ordered Qi Liang and Zhou Meng to lead 5,000 troops and 200 warships to cruise on the south of Pyongyang, remove all ships on the water, control the water, and seriously threaten the safety of Pyongyang City

In front of the royal palace in Pyongyang, a carriage came at a high speed, and as soon as the carriage stopped, the door was pushed open, and there was no need for support, so Yuan Taizuo strode out of the car and hurriedly walked towards the palace.

In the palace, Quan Huan was reporting the unfavorable situation to Gao Yuan, the king of Yingyang, "Your Majesty, there are only two hundred warships on the Hunshui River, considering that the warships still have to carry supplies, then there are only more than 10,000 troops at most, this is not like attacking Pyongyang, I'm afraid the situation is not good!" ”

"You're saying that Jang Hyun doesn't actually plan to attack Pyongyang, is that what you mean?" Gao Yuan's puffy eyelids opened a slit and asked.

At this time, a deep voice came from His Highness, "Your Excellency is right, we have completely misunderstood Zhang Xuan's intentions!" ”

Yuan Taizuo's burly body appeared at the entrance of the hall, and he was dressed in a black robe, which made his face even paler, like a piece of jade that had lost its luster, and only a pair of eyes were still as sharp as before.

When Quan Huan saw him come in, he immediately stood up and stood far away, his eyes becoming indifferent.

Yuan Taizuo was not in the mood to care about Quan Huan's attitude, he stepped forward to give a salute, "Wechen just got the news that the Sui army has captured the Black Bone City, and Wechen dares to assert that Zhang Xuan is now in the Black Bone City." ”

"How did Lord Mo Lizhi get the news of Black Bone City?" Gao Yuan asked.

"There are a few soldiers who have just escaped from the city of bones, and they have brought the news of the fall of the city of bones."

"So, the warships on the water are not the main force of the Sui army?"

"It's not! They are only here to threaten Pyongyang and pin down our troops from moving north. ”

At this time, Quan Huan next to him said coldly: "I remember clearly, Lord Mo Lizhi once swore that if the Sui army wants to attack us, it must be divided into two routes, all the way to Liaodong, all the way to Pyongyang, why not come to Pyongyang now?" ”

Yuan Taizuo turned his head and glared at Quan Huan angrily, "The Sui army attacked Goguryeo three times, all of them were from the humble city to Pyongyang, this is their consistent route of sending troops, I also judge based on experience, who would have thought that Zhang Xuan would give up Pyongyang and kill Yalushui?" ”

"So Lord Mo Lizhi shouldn't be so sure at the beginning, and finally let us make a mistake in deployment!"

Yuan Taizuo was furious, stared at Quan Huan viciously and said: "Everyone can say cool words, why didn't you object to the decision at the beginning?" Why didn't you foresee that Jang Hyun was not attacking Pyongyang? Now to say such things is a testament to your wisdom? ”

"That's it! Don't fight among yourself. ”

Gao Yuan interrupted their argument unhappily, and said in a long voice: "The matter has come to this point, we can only make amends, you can talk about what to do!" ”

Quan Huan snorted, turned his head, and Yuan Taizuo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Xuan's strategy must be to concentrate forces against our 70,000 troops in Liaodong, and we must support it, otherwise the 70,000 army will inevitably be wiped out." ”

"You're actually just worried about your son—"

As soon as Quan Huan sneered, he was stopped by Gao Yuan's wave of his hand, he glanced at Quan Huan, signaling him not to stimulate Yuan Taizuo anymore, Quan Huan ignored Yuan Taizuo who was glaring at him, and slowly closed his eyes.

Gao Yuan said to Yuan Taizuo at this time: "Then what does Lord Mo Lizhi mean, how can we help?" ”

"First of all, the army must go north, recapture the black bone city or the domestic city, and then open the passage between Liaodong, and the retreat of the army will be there, Weichen suggested that 50,000 troops should be sent north immediately to meet the retreat of the Liaodong army."

Gao Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "I have two questions, first, which one do we want to recapture between the Black Bone City and the Domestic City, or will we capture both?" The second question is, once the 50,000-strong army goes north, who will defend Pyongyang? In case Jail-hyun turns around and hits Pyongyang again, how will we deal with it. ”

"Your Excellency don't worry, we send 50,000 troops to the north, Pyongyang still has 20,000 troops, with 20,000 troops, and then mobilize the people to help, we can still hold Pyongyang City, once Zhang Xuan's army turns south, then we regain the lost territory, and the certainty of receiving the army's withdrawal is much greater, as long as the army comes back, the crisis in Pyongyang will be solved immediately, as for the first question, Wechen thinks it is better to recapture the Black Bone City."

"Why is it the Black Bone City, I think the domestic city is easier to capture." Gao Yuan asked puzzled.

Yuan Taizuo hesitated slightly and said: "Your Excellency Qiqi, there is an official way to go to the Black Bone City, which is conducive to our grain trucks to follow, after all, it is an army of 50,000, and the logistics and supply tasks are very heavy, and going to the domestic city has to go over the mountains and mountains, the road is difficult, the grain truck is difficult to travel, and the domestic city is not much better than the Black Bone City, weighing the pros and cons, Wei Chen still feels that it is more realistic to recapture the Black Bone City." ”

At this time, Quan Heng, who had been silent, said: "Your Majesty, if you leave one day late, General Ulzhi will be more dangerous, although it is risky to open up the rescue channel, but we must do it, otherwise after Zhang Xuan completely annihilates the army of Liaodong, he will inevitably turn around and fight Pyongyang again, at that time, we may have the worry of destroying the country......

Yuan Taizuo didn't expect Quan Huan to help him speak at a critical moment, he was really a little surprised, but after thinking about it, there are no eggs under the nest, Quan Huan is actually thinking about his family, and it is not surprising that he agrees with his suggestion.

Yuan Taizuo hurriedly added: "In addition, Weichen also has a plan, which can let Gao Lie inform their forces in the Central Plains, encourage Li Yuan to take advantage of the situation to attack Hebei, and force Zhang Xuan not to dare to fight in Liaodong for a long time. ”

Quan Huan's worry about destroying the country moved Gao Yuan, and Gao Yuan nodded, "In that case, the two of you will discuss how to send troops and report the final plan to me." ”

Yuan Taizuo got the consent, so he took the first step to leave, Quan Huan waited for Yuan Taizuo to go away, and then slowly said to Gao Yuan: "Your Majesty, in the end, there will be 20,000 troops left, it must be us and Yuan Taizuo who will each leave 10,000, in terms of the specific leading generals, I can oppose Jian Wuqi to lead the troops, because he was captured by the Sui army, in this way, Yuan Taizuo must have left Jian Wuqi to lead the army, but Jian Wuqi is actually my person, in this way, he will lose his wings in Pyongyang, does the king understand what Weichen means?" ”

Gao Yuan's slitted eyes widened suddenly, "You want to-"

Quan Huan smiled darkly, "This is a great opportunity to get rid of him!" ”
