Sun Jiayan was taken down by the soldiers to rest, Luo Shixin was silent, and then Niu Jinda walked into the tent and said: "Shixin, I don't think this person can trust him too much, before confirming his sincerity, it is better to be careful." ”

Luo Shixin smiled, "I understand this, but according to the plan, we should indeed retreat, but I'm thinking about where to withdraw our troops?" ”

"I suggest retreating to Liucheng, let Li Haihai guard Linyu Pass, and the army of Linyu Palace can also assist in the defense."

Niu Jinda said worriedly: "I mainly consider that there are a large number of Han people living in the area of Liucheng, and I am worried that the Goryeo people will slaughter and cleanse. ”

"You're right, if there is a massacre, we will not be able to face the Governor."

Luo Shixin was reminded at once, he realized that he had almost made a big mistake and forgot the possibility of massacre, he no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered: "Pass my order, and the army will immediately withdraw its camp and retreat to Liucheng...... In the camp of the Goryeo army, Gao Kaidao came to the big tent of the Chinese army of the Goryeo army surrounded by more than 100 guards, Yuan Taizuo had been waiting in front of the big tent for a long time, and his slender eyes flashed with an old fox-like smile, as if a prey had fallen into his trap.

For him, Gao Kaidao is a prey, or a dog, working hard for him, and the day the prey arrives, this dog is his dinner.

Yuan Taizuo welcomed Gao Kaidao's arrival with great enthusiasm, because now he still needs this dog to fight for him.

"I have been famous for His Royal Highness King Yan for a long time, and I saw him for the first time today, which is enough to comfort the three lives!"

Yuan Taizuo had a very high attainment in Chinese, he was a nobleman of Buyeo, and the Buyeo people created the Kingdom of Goguryeo, and they also called themselves Goguryeo, only in the official documents of the Sui Dynasty. Call them Goryeo.

Gao Kaidao also smiled and said: "Gao has also heard of the king's reputation for a long time, and he is deeply honored to visit for the first time today." ”

His attitude was very humble, for him, the Goryeo army was now a life-saving log in his drowning, as for whether he would not be after he went ashore, that was another matter.

The two of them stepped forward laughing, each hugging each other tightly with evil intentions, the huge hypocrisy that was difficult to hide in the intimacy, even the soldiers next to them couldn't stand it. They all turned their heads away.

Sitting down in the big tent, Gao Kaidao said with a smile: "I look forward to the arrival of the king every day, just like a baby looking forward to his parents." Now that the Goryeo army has finally arrived, I have seen the dawn of victory over the Sui army, and I am willing to follow the king and drive the Sui army out of Liaodong. ”

In an extremely humble and flattering tone, Gao Kaidao pushed the Goryeo army to the front. He took a step back and stood behind the Goryeo army, this was his wishful thinking, he only had 40,000 troops left now, this was his last capital, no matter what, he wanted to keep it.

So he had to make the Goryeo Army the vanguard. Charge in front, as long as you can achieve this goal, even let him be a grandson. He was also willing.

Of course, Gao Kaidao's wishful thinking could not hide the treacherous and cunning Yuan Taizuo, he squinted and smiled, "Defeating the Sui army is the common goal of both of us, and it is also our common interest, and we can't do it alone." We should work together without distinction or inferiority. This is my attitude, and this is also the attitude of the Goryeo Army. ”

"Of course, we should work together to fight the Sui army."

Gao Kaidao laughed dryly, there was a little bitterness in the laughter, and the cunning of the Goryeo people made him unable to take advantage of it.

Gao Kaidao also wanted to get the most out of the ambiguity, but the shrewd Goryeo smashed his ambiguity to pieces with frankness and straightforwardness.

"Alright! Now let's talk about the issue of cooperation between the two armies, how to distribute logistics materials, and how to command the army...... Yuan Taizuo didn't give Gao Kaidao any chance, and used the plan he prepared in advance to make Gao Kaidao fall into a trap that could not be chosen, whether it was food logistics or army command, it was dominated by the Goryeo army, in short, Gao Kaidao was completely reduced to a dog.

At this moment, the news of the retreat of the Sui army came, and the night was thick at this time, although Gao Kaidao was anxious to catch up, Yuan Taizuo held the dog chain that had been tied to Gao Kaidao's neck.

"The Sui army is good at night fighting, their retreat at night is not necessarily good, maybe it is a trap, don't worry, chase after it early tomorrow morning, how to fight this battle, you listen to my arrangement."

Yuan Taizuo's tone was very flat, but there was no objection in the blandness...... Early the next morning, the Goryeo army and Gao Kaidao's army left Yancheng County and pursued the Sui army, and two days later, the combined army arrived in Liucheng County, and the regiments surrounded Liucheng County, starting a siege and defense standoff...... In the past two days, the wind and waves in the Bohai Sea are not big, the slightly undulating waves are lapping against the wall of the ship, and on the endless sea, a fleet of more than 100 large ships is sailing downwind.

The warm southeast wind blew on the sea, making the sails puff up, and the flagship of the 'Ryuyin' headed by it was like a swift arrow cleaving the waves on the sea surface and sailing northward.

Yang Yuanqing stood at the bow of the boat, the sea breeze blowing his fluttering hair, sending his thoughts to distant places, the sea was like a huge window, making his mind suddenly open, and also making the world in his heart infinitely broad.

What is on the far other side of the sea? That is a more vast land, there are more abundant species, which can increase the production of grain, with food, the population can breed, with the population, the territory of the Great Sui will be even larger.

But this will be a long time later, maybe he will be able to see it in his lifetime, Yang Yuanqing sighed, he is like a person who has discovered a huge treasure at this time, but he is suffering from not being able to transport the treasure away, and only by distributing the treasure to more people will this treasure make the Great Sui more powerful.

"Boss, what are you thinking?" Cheng Yanjin asked angrily behind him.

Yang Yuanqing glanced back at him and said with a slight smile: "I'm thinking about what you can do in the future?" ”

"Me?"

Cheng Yanjin was stunned, he didn't expect the manager to be thinking of his own way out, he was secretly happy in his heart, so he pretended to muttered and said, "Hmm! I may still be a little bit of ink when I become a prime minister in the future, but I can be competent as a general, and I can also hang up false positions such as Prince Shaobao and Tai Lieutenant, and Lao Cheng doesn't think they are heavy. ”

Yang Yuanqing laughed, "You have a very thick skin, you can hammer in a big nail and hang these positions." ”

Cheng Biting Jin smiled, "Actually, I'm telling the truth, in the future, will my old Cheng be considered the founding father, and my life is very long, forty years later, Qin Qiong and they will all die.... No! That one.... They all unfortunately passed away, won't I become a patriarch? It's not too much to be a captain! ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Your vision is very long-term, let me ask you, do you want to be a king?" ”

Cheng Yanjin was startled, and waved his hand again and again, "No! No! Don't hurt me, I don't have this idea, I won't live long, I won't do it. ”

"I'm not saying that you should be the king of the Sui Dynasty, I mean, give you a piece of land, overseas, a radius of thousands of miles, you lead a group of people to establish your own country, well, let's call it Cheng Guo! You're the king, wouldn't you? ”

Cheng Biting Jin grinned, "Chief, isn't that just to exile me?" ”

Yang Yuanqing had no choice but to sigh helplessly with this guy who only recognized reality and had no ideals, "Okay! You will stay up for another forty years and prepare to become a captain! In the future, after the establishment of small countries such as Luo, Qin, and Xu, you just don't get angry. ”

"Huh! I won't be jealous, and I'd better exile them next year, so I can be a lieutenant next year. ”

"Get back to the cabin!"

Yang Yuanqing was suddenly extremely tired of this crow's mouth, no wonder everyone hated him, he kicked Cheng Biting Jin's ass, kicked him to a stumbling ground, and almost fell.

Cheng Biting Jin rubbed his buttocks and said with a bitter face: "It's uncomfortable to be seasick in the cabin, and it's better to blow the sea breeze." ”

In his heart, he was thinking about how to use this opportunity to pat Yang Yuanqing's ass, which would be very beneficial to his future promotion.

Yang Yuanqing didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to look into the distance with his hands behind his back, but he was thinking about the candidates for the voyage, Zhu Kuan and Liu Fang and others who went to sea were still alive, more than ten years ago, the official envoys of the Great Sui had gone to Liuqiu and even Malacca, and also went to the Wa Kingdom, navigation technology is no longer a problem, what is lacking is only courage and direction.

"Chief, you see the land!" Suddenly there was a shout from the lookout.

Yang Yuanqing walked a few steps quickly, looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a faint black line in the north, and the land had finally arrived.

There was a burst of cheers on the big boat, and Cheng Yanjin was also very excited, and struck hard with his fist, "Damn, it's finally in Pyongyang, take Pyongyang, Lao Tzu will be the first to rush into the palace, that ..... Capture the king of Goryeo alive. ”

Yang Yuanqing just told him that the purpose of their trip was to cut off the rear route of the Goryeo army, and he always thought that it was a sneak attack on Pyongyang, the capital of Goryeo, and he was very interested in this.

Yang Yuanqing smiled and didn't say a word, just focused on the distant land, gradually the land got closer and closer, the speed of the boat gradually slowed down, and the color of the sea water in front of them began to turn blue and white, which was the result of the mixture of fresh water and sea water, which meant that in front of them was the mouth of a large river.

Sure enough, a wide river bay appeared in front of them, and the estuary of a large river was presented in front of them, Zhang Long pointed to the big river in front of him and said with a smile: "Your Highness, that is the mouth of Liaoshui." ”

Cheng Yanjin, who was in the back, was stunned for a moment and scratched his head, "Chief, aren't you going to Pyongyang?" ”

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him and snorted disdainfully, "When did I say I was going to Pyongyang?" ”

"This ....."

Cheng Yanjin was disappointed for a while, if he didn't go to Pyongyang, wouldn't it be useless for such a beautiful Goryeo lady to pile up a mountain of treasures in the palace?

Immediately he lost his spirits, like a defeated rooster, and became listless, and then he felt even more seasick, damn it, even on deck......
