The military situation is like fire. Li Chongjiu took a break at the moment, and immediately ordered the infantry army to be stationed in Huaiyuan Town first, and he led 10,000 cavalry from the three divisions of the Jian, Xi, and Cangtou armies to Tongding Town. The iron horse galloped, and the road was already visible in the waves of the water, lapping the riverbank. And as he continued to approach Tongding Town, Li Chongjiu saw that a straight black smoke in the distance rolled straight into the sky.

Li Chongjiu knew that this was very bad, but he refused his subordinates' plan to ask him to march quickly, because the road was lined with dense forests, and Goguryeo was good at setting up ambushes, and the cavalry galloped through the dense forests, which was easy to be ambushed.

More than 10,000 cavalry marched slowly in the gloomy forest, but the black smoke in the distance was clearly visible. Thinking that the Goguryeo people might be right in front of them, everyone's hearts became heavy at this moment. Three expeditions to Liao, the Great Sui lost millions of teachers, the turbulent Liaoshui, the mud of Liaodong, I don't know how many bones of the Great Sui men were buried.

Turning the corner of the forest, the gray-yellow city in the distance was already visible, and the black smoke was coming out of the city. Li Chongjiu looked at the city of Tongding Town and ordered to prepare for battle. Tongdingzhen has no more than 1,000 garrisons, less than 5,000 people, and if it is besieged by the Goguryeo army for ten days, it will be more auspicious and less auspicious.

Li Chongjiu immediately ordered the whole army to be on alert, and set up a formation from the plains outside the forest, preparing to meet Goguryeo. The cavalry all changed horses to maintain their fullest body, and the cavalry of the Cangtou Army also took out their armor and helmets from the armor beds carried by the auxiliary horses, dressed them neatly, and then remounted their horses.

The warriors of the Xi tribe were ready with bows and arrows, swords, spears, and bones, and 10,000 iron horsemen instantly set up a formation on the plain, and for a while the killing spirit filled the land, approaching Tongding Town. When the army came to Tongding Town, they found that there was no one, and the city walls were full of traces of swords and axes, broken ladders, and burned towers.

"Tell the Khan, there seems to be no one in the city." Li Chongjiu nodded, thinking that it was possible that Goguryeo should have taken the people away after breaking the city.

Before Li Chongjiu could draw a conclusion, suddenly Wang Mahan rode his horse from outside the city wall, ran to Li Chongjiu, jumped off the horse and said nothing, pointing to the west of the city, his face was pale, and his lips trembled up and down.

"People! Head! Head! ”

Li Chongjiu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and rode his horse to the west of the city with Wang Ma Han, and saw from a distance the row of Han soldiers and soldiers in the west of the city, surrounded outside, and everyone seemed to be sluggish, standing still. Li Chongjiu and his guards squeezed in from the crowd, and on weekdays, these soldiers had already made their debut for Li Chongjiu, but today they did not react at all.

The weather in Liaodong is getting hotter in June, and countless flies are gathered in one place, buzzing all over the sky. Li Chongjiu squeezed through the crowd, and two human head mounds piled up like pagodas were erected high. Hundreds of human heads piled together, their eyes wide open, full of unwilling staring at the remnant sun to the west.

More and more soldiers heard the news and came here, some angry, some frightened, some cursed loudly, but more often there was silence, death-like silence.

Li Chongjiu bypassed the head mound, only to see a banner erected lonely in the middle of the city gate, this flag was inserted into the ground, the crimson battle flag did not flutter high, but hung on the ground, and the end of the flagpole was holding a human head, and the white hair was fluttering in the air. Under the flagpole was a line of Chinese characters smeared with blood, which read, 'Han dog, get out of Liaodong'.

When the Han Dynasty set up the four counties of Liaodong, Gao's grandfather was not born, and now this country, where even Chinese is still used in writing, has begun to let the Han people get out of Liaodong.

The headless corpse pit of the defenders was found in the north of the city. When Li Chongjiu came to the pit, he saw that each corpse's hands had been cut behind and tied with straw ropes. Of course, it is impossible for the Goguryeo people to kill people completely, and then tie people's hands behind their backs. This only says one thing, they are prisoners.

Seeing this scene, Tudiji, who had followed Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goguryeo, shook his head and said, "Further north, there are more such Jingguan. ”

Li Chongjiu remembered that when Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, in order to show off his strength, he said that Goguryeo was the country of Jizi back then, and let them obey the king, and ordered not to kill indiscriminately. When attacking Liaodong City, the defenders were about to surrender when the city was about to be broken, Yang Guang agreed, but he rebelled again, surrendered and rebelled, so many times, Yang Guang repeatedly pardoned and did not care. After the defeat of the Sui army, Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo's Yingyang, feared the Sui army's retaliation and asked Yang Guangshang to surrender, claiming to be the dung soil minister of Liaodong, but the Goguryeo people killed all the prisoners of war of the Sui army and erected several 10,000-person Jingguan in the land of Liaodong.

According to the history books, this Jingguan was not until the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, and when the Tang army conquered Goguryeo again, you could still see the scene of corpses and bones. And Li Shimin's words against Goguryeo were revenge for China's children.

"Hello to the Khan! On the east bank of Liaoshui, the Goguryeo convoy was discovered! Li Chongjiu's eyes flashed, and he said: "The east bank of Liaoshui? ”

Li Chongjiu led the cavalry and rushed to the bank of the Liaoshui River. Sure enough, on the other side of the river, the Goguryeo people returned with a full load, and the front and rear convoys were connected one after another, and the convoys were full of grain looted from Tongding Town.

When the Goguryeo cavalry saw the Han cavalry on the other side of the river, they were not frightened, but pursed their lips and whistled, and raised the things in their hands one by one. Li Chongjiu looked carefully, and some of the Goguryeo cavalry used guns to carry Han-style clothes, leather clothes, or all kinds of gold ornaments and jewelry from their daughters' houses, and loudly demonstrated to this side.

After the convoy, a group of Han people cut their hands behind their backs, were tied with straw ropes, dragged into a long line, and walked forward. The women were all naked and walked naked like lambs, and the Goguryeo people were casually humiliated. The people looked at each other with pity, their eyes helpless.

"Taishou, save them!" At one time, the three armies shouted in unison.

Li Chongjiu looked left and right, and said affirmatively: "Cross the Liaoshui!" ”

After returning to Tongding Town, Li Chongjiu issued an order to cross the river from the upper Liaoshui shoals and pursue the Goguryeo convoy. Hearing this, he ordered Li Chongjiu to command 10,000 cavalry without saying a word, and immediately found a ferry thirty miles upstream of Tongding Town. At the same time, the 6,000 foot soldiers in Huaiyuan Town also arrived.

Li Chongjiu was at the Liaoshui ferry and saw Wen Yanbo and Yang Linfu with anxious faces.

"You can't cross the Liaoshui if you are too guarded!" The two of them persuaded together.

Wen Yanbo said: "The Goguryeo people are obviously using tricks, when they marched in the White Wolf River Valley before, the Khitan cavalry was their eyes and ears, and Goguryeo knew the movements of our army clearly. ”

"That's right," Yang Linfu said, "Taishou, in Tongding, he tortured and killed the soldiers of our army, and then captured the people, not only to declare his might to us, but also to deliberately provoke our army, lure us to the depths of Liaodi, and annihilate our army in a battle." ”

Li Chongjiu's armor shook and said: "What the two of you said is not unreasonable, but I have made up my mind, and sending troops to Liaoshui cannot be changed." ”

Wen Yanbo and Yang Linfu glanced at each other. Wen Yanbo hurriedly said: "Taishou compares himself to Yang Guang, Yuwen Shu, Yu Zhongwen, how about Lai Hu'er, and whether Taishou's strength can be compared to the strength of a million army when conquering Liao." The humble position came to the account to give advice, too obedient to the plan, no need to calculate, now seeing that the too shou is rigid and self-serving, and he is in danger and does not know, so he begs for advice. ”

Li Chongjiu let out a long sigh and said: "Thank you Wen Sima for your sincere words, this time I will do what I can to rescue the compatriots who fell into Liaodong, that is, to lead the army back to the division, I will not stay for long, please rest assured." ”

Hearing Li Chongjiu say this, the two breathed a sigh of relief. Li Chongjiu said: "The two of you don't have to follow, just go back to Huaiyuan Town and wait." ”

Yang Linfu said: "I have been in Liaodong for many years, and I know the details of Goguryeo, and I am willing to cross the river with Taishou." ”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "With Lin Fu here, it's easy to do." ”

10,000 cavalry crossed the river here, and as soon as they crossed the Liao River, the beacon tower set up by Goguryeo in the upper reaches of the Liao River ignited wolf smoke, and one after another was in a hurry. After Gao Yuan provoked the Great Sui, in order to worry about its conquest of Liao, he had already set up beacon towers along the Liao River. Now that Li Chongjiu's army had just crossed the river, the beacon tower sent a message to the rear and indicated the direction and number of the Sui army.

The whereabouts of a qiē were exposed under the noses of the Goguryeo people, Li Chongjiu ignored so much, and chose three thousand light horses, all of them one person and three horses, and rode along the Liaoshui wheel, at a very fast speed. Li Chongjiu and Yang Linfu guessed that the reverse direction of this line of Goguryeo cavalry was Gaimu City.

A shower fell suddenly, the grass was already very muddy, and June in Liaodong was the rainy season, and it rained heavily, and there was mud everywhere. The muddy roads all over the ground brought great changes to the logistics of the Sui army that conquered Liao. Heavy rain obscured the view, and the rolling mountains and dense forests of Liaodong were hidden.

Li Chongjiu's cavalry in front could only distinguish the road by the ruts of the people, and soon came back on a stone road, getting rid of the bad luck of walking in the mud. This stone road is the ancient road of the Han Dynasty, leading to the belt side of Lelang. After embarking on this ancient road, the cavalry speed increased greatly, and Li Chongjiu's forward scouts finally caught up with the opposing convoy as the Goguryeo people entered the city.

The two armies fought fiercely in the heavy rain, and after Li Chongjiu heard the bite of the Goguryeo convoy, he immediately led the ironclad cavalry of his headquarters to accelerate forward in the rain. On the stone road, dead bodies can be seen lying on both sides of the road, and as they advance, there are more and more corpses.

When Li Chongjiu led his army across a small river and rushed to the bottom of a city, he saw his own forward cavalry and Goguryeo cavalry, fighting together. When the city saw Li Chongjiu's army arriving, they sounded a gong to warn them, but the Goguryeo soldiers did not dare to meet the battle, so they abandoned part of the cart and hurriedly retreated into the city. Li Chongjiu rescued more than 3,000 people captured in Tongding Town, but the 50,000 stone grain and grass in the city still dragged the city for the Goguryeo people.

In the heavy rain, Li Chongjiu looked at the Goguryeo city in front of him, Gaimu City towered in front of him, and countless Goguryeo soldiers wearing horns in the city looked coldly at the city.
