Since the tenth day of the first lunar month, the families of the hostages have come to pay the ransom, and the sailors and soldiers who were detained before were also released by Murong Yi, but only half of the more than 1,000 people remained, and the other half must have died, and this half was also skinny, covered with frostbite, seeing Wei Feng, they were all grateful and weeping, and they couldn't wait to give their hearts to Wei Feng!

You must know that from ancient times to the present, no one has ever sent troops specifically to rescue hostages, especially if they still risk great danger to go deep into the enemy's hinterland, although rescuing hostages is only one of Wei Feng's goals, but in the end, people are always rescued, right?

Although half of the people died, Wei Feng did not take revenge on Yan Guo, according to the saying of one life for one life, Yan Jun also died in thousands, which is roughly equivalent to one life for eight lives.

It wasn't until the end of February that the magnates of the Yan Kingdom were released, and the gold, silver, copper, iron, armor, grain and grass in the Wei Feng army were not too much, and at this time, the minimum temperature had risen to above zero for several days, and the sea ice showed signs of gradually melting.

On the sixth day of the first month of March, only scattered floating water remained on the sea, and on the same day, more than 2,000 ships of Wei Feng sailed to the depths of the sea.

As the northerly winds still prevailed in the early spring, and the fleet sailed from northwest to southeast, all the ships were fully sailed, and Yuma Shijin (present-day Lushun) was divided into two groups, one of which continued southward, carrying 30,000 horses, all the gold, silver, copper, iron, and extra armor back to Huiji, and then carrying some grain.

Another group of more than a thousand ships turned eastward and reached the mouth of the sea in only five days, but most of them were lost near the mouth of the sea for fear that the fleet would be too large and inflexible in the river. Wei Feng believed that Goguryeo was not capable of robbing his cargo, so he only took 300 warships up the river with a total strength of 25,000 men.

About 100 miles from the mouth of the sea to Pyongyang, the riverbed of Lishui is relatively deep, and it is affected by the tidal waters of the Yellow Sea, which is conducive to shipping, so the speed of the fleet is very fast, and on the evening of 11 March, Pyongyang has already faintly appeared in front of you.

Unlike modern Pyongyang, which straddles both sides of the Taedong River, Pyongyang at that time was only on the north bank of the Yeolsu. It is the former Lelang County to govern North Korea County.

Enough eyesight. Seeing an earthen city with a radius of ten miles and a height of about two zhang, Wei Feng was a little stunned, and his brows furrowed.

Liu Xingnan noticed the change in Wei Feng's expression, and couldn't help asking, "General." Pyongyang should be ahead, right? You'll be able to send another one in no time. Why is Xingnan dissatisfied with you? ”

Wei Feng shook his head. Xiang Li Zhu asked: "Li Zhu, how many people do you expect to have in Dingkou in Pyongyang?" ”

Li Zhu glanced at Pyongyang a few more times, and said uncertainly: "If it's in my Jiangdong." The number of cities within a radius of ten miles is at most 350,000, while the cities of Goguryeo are scarce, and the density may be a little larger, but in any case it will not be more than 60,000 or 70,000. As he spoke, he suddenly realized: "Oh~~ The last general understands, you dislike Pyongyang too little!" ”

Wei Feng is also helpless, in his original estimate, Pyongyang is the largest city in Goguryeo except for the capital, how can there be a hundred thousand people, deducting the old and weak women and children, Ding Zhuang should be able to capture thirty or fifty thousand, and the construction of Tianjin Port is barely enough, but the sky does not follow people's wishes, the population of sixty or seventy thousand, Ding Zhuang will definitely not exceed 20,000, this is far from enough.

"Hey~~" Wei Feng sighed and set his eyes on Pyongyang, do you want to push Goguryeo Ping again? To tell the truth, it is not impossible to push Goguryeo, but there is no time, he must build the city port as quickly as possible, because Huan Xuan will replace the Jin Chamber at any time!

When he was undecided, Li Zhu arched his hand again: "General, Pyongyang's Dingkou is indeed a little less, but the last general thinks that you can besiege but not attack, Pyongyang is the second largest city in Goguryeo, and in ancient times, it was the capital of the peninsula country several times, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was sealed for three years (108 years ago), Emperor Wu destroyed the Manchurian Korea, and placed the four counties of Lelang, Xuansu, Lintun, and Zhenfan, and the area of Pyongyang is Lelang County, which is the center of the four counties of the Han Dynasty, with Pyongyang in hand, and the four counties of the Han Dynasty can be controlled. As long as you defeat Gao Tande, you can capture some prisoners! ”

"Good!" Wei Feng was overjoyed and said: "This is a good idea, Li Zhu, those Yan girls who have not been separated from each other, you go and pick two tonight!" ”

"Thank you, General!" Li Zhu thanked him happily, but Zhang Ning next to him was remorseful and his intestines were blue, and he knew that Lu Dao should have rushed to speak, but at this time, he could only look at the boat behind him with envy on his face, and there were more than 100 Yan girls on the boat to be assigned

The arrival of 300 strange warships immediately caused panic in the whole city of Pyongyang, and in an instant the city gate was closed, the city was full of soldiers, and Wei Feng was not in a hurry, and slowly commanded the sergeants to go ashore, and it was not until the next day that a camp was set up five miles west of Pyongyang.

After breakfast, Wei Feng led hundreds of horsemen to Pyongyang, when Yang Guang personally conquered Goguryeo, leading more than one million, but suffered heavy losses, and the Sui Dynasty also buried the bane of defeat.

Judging from the current scale of Pyongyang, it is impossible for Dingkou to exceed 500,000 after more than 200 years, and Yang Guang's expedition to Goguryeo is the heyday of the Sui Dynasty, and the elite of the Sui army is no less than the Tang army at its peak, but this is defeated, Wei Feng always feels very aggrieved, in his opinion, with the strength of the Sui army, it is enough to lead the army of 200,000 with one general, why bother to drive the army with a million troops? In the final analysis, it was Yang Guang's love of face, his great joy, and the psychology of gamblers that laid the defeat!

Under the historical conditions at that time, it was extremely difficult to command and dispatch an army of millions, Wei Feng thought that he could do it within 100,000, and there would be some problems with 200,000, more than 300,000, and it would be difficult for a famous general to order and prohibit it.

Fu Jian's failure to conquer Jiangdong was due to the excessive loss of troops, with the limited strength of 100,000 Huan Chong Imperial Guards and 80,000 elite soldiers of the Beifu Army at that time, Fu Jianfa 300,000 or 400,000 was enough, and at the same time, he should also drive Xianbei and Qiang people to be the vanguard, instead of fighting with his own old capital!

Later, the Wei lord Tuoba Tao learned a lesson, when the Song Dynasty drove a large number of non-Tuoba soldiers as the forward, the front of the soldiers reached Guabu, and then reluctantly retreated because of the inability to cross the river, but he was still unwilling, besieged Xuyi on the way back, was sent to the altar urine by the guard Zang Qian, and the angry siege of the city, and Zang Zhishu said: I am sending the fighting soldiers, all not our people, the northeast of the city is Ding Ling and Hu, the south is Sanqin, Qiang, set up Ding Ling dead, is able to reduce Changshan, Zhao County thief, Hu death, is reducing and merging the state thief, Di, Qiang death, is reducing the thief in the Guan, if Qing kills Ding Ling, Hu, there is no disadvantage!

Therefore, Tuoba Tao was a smart man, and although both the Song and Song were defeated, they did not shake the foundation of Tuoba clan's rule.

In addition, Yang Guang and Fu Jian poured the country's troops into one battle, which is an obvious gambler's mentality, and if they win, they are naturally unborn masters, but they are defeated, I am afraid that these two people have not thought about this problem at all.

Wei Feng couldn't help but be secretly awe-inspiring, people will inevitably swell their self-confidence after successive victories, he believes that Jianfu and Yang Guang in the early years are also trembling, step by step, but when they reach a stage peak, it is inevitable that they will have the pride and ambition of seeing all the mountains at a glance, and they think that there is no opponent under the tiger's eyes, so will they be the same?

"General, ahead is Pyongyang!" Li Zhu's reminder interrupted Wei Feng, who was already three hundred steps away from the city, so Wei Feng waved his hand to stop and looked towards the city.

A young general of about sixteen or seventeen years old at the head of the city asked: "I am the son of the King of Yongle, the Taishou of Pyongyang, and the general of the expedition to the north, Gao Lian, who is coming?" Why did you offend me Pyongyang? ”

Wei Feng said coldly: "This general is the general of Dayan Town, the commander of Yingzhou Assassin Shi Qiu Nini, this time he was ordered to come to rebel, you still have a chance to surrender quickly, otherwise, on the day the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs!" ”

I heard that it was the Yan army, Gao Lian knew that there was nothing to say, the two countries had attacked and killed each other for decades, and there was no need for a reason to raise troops to attack, but he was a little puzzled, in the past, the Yan State invaded by land in the direction of Liaodong, but this time, why did you take the waterway?

But Gao Lian didn't think much about this question, and then shouted in a low voice: "You two, before the Yan people surround it, immediately go out of the city and go to Marudu (now Ji'an City, Tonghua, Jilin, the capital of Goguryeo) to ask the King for help!" ”

"Yes!" The two guards hurried to the city.

Gao Lian ignored Wei Feng anymore and personally mobilized the people of the city to strengthen the city defense, and he had to hold on until Gao Tande arrived no matter what.

Wei Feng also led the cavalry to slowly gallop back, and Julia was puzzled: "Envoy, you came here just for this sentence?" ”

During this time, Wei Feng and Julia cried a lot, but no one found out, the key is that Wang Daolian, Julia and the Fu sisters formed a triangular relationship, Wei Feng and Julia cheated, the sister Hua thought that Wei Feng was there with Wang Daolian, and Wang Daolian also held the same opinion, so no one knew that Wei Feng had gotten together with Julia, both of them enjoyed the excitement brought by sneaking, and never showed excessive intimacy in front of outsiders.

At this time, Wei Feng smiled as usual and said, "Lady Julia, I just need to let the Goguryeo people know who I am." ”

Julia asked again, "Envoy, why do you claim to be Qiu Nini's subordinate?" ”

"Humph!" Liu Xingnan snorted coldly: "The general likes to pretend to be Yan people the most, I heard that the first time he sent troops to Baekje to pretend to be Yan people, by the way, Sister Julia, at that time she also claimed to be Murong Xi's subordinate!" ”

Wei Feng said smugly: "It's not that I want to pretend to be a Yan person, but I have to pretend, Gao Tande has seen my strength, I forced back his tens of thousands of troops with thousands of cavalry, so I guess he should be in awe of me, what if I know that I am coming, what if he doesn't dare to rescue?" Shall I go to attack the pills?

But the Yan people are different, although Goguryeo has lost more and fewer victories in the battle with the Yan people, it always wins, doesn't it? Gao Tande's fear of the Yan people is less than mine, not to mention that the big event of Murong Xi being captured by me should also be spread to the pill capital, he should be able to judge that the Yan country is on the verge of civil strife, how can he be afraid of the attack of the Yan army? And there are a large number of Yan army armor weapons in our army, and it is most suitable to pretend to be Yan people! ”

"Vomit~~" Liu Xingnan made a disgusting expression. (To be continued......)
