On the fourth day of the seventh month of the 21st year of Zhenguan, the Tang Army's naval division annihilated the Japanese Hundred Coalition Army Naval Division in a battle at Wulitan on the Baicun River, and the news came, the Tang New Coalition Army was jubilant, and the cheers in the full military camp shook the sky, and there was a joyful scene, only the commander of the whole army, Xue Wanche, seemed a little depressed, not that he was jealous of Niu Jinda's miraculous achievements, but worried about how to take Zhou Liucheng as soon as possible, so as to catch up with the battle of Pyongyang City - according to the secret order of the prince Li Zhen, Xue Wanche's troops could only annihilate the fleet of the Japanese Naval Division, And containing the Gao Bai coalition army is considered to have completed the task, as far as the current situation is concerned, there is really no need for Xue Wanche to do anything more, a great achievement is already a sure thing, but Xue Wanche is a person who pursues perfection, he is not willing to be a spectator in the next war, and if he wants to make a difference, Zhou Liucheng is a hurdle that cannot be crossed, how to start taking the city, Xue Wanche will really not be able to come up with a very good idea for a while.

It's difficult, it's really difficult, don't look at the Tang Xin coalition army under the city at this time, there are more than 155,000 people, however, more than 100,000 Silla soldiers can't be counted on at all - these soldiers are a lot of old and young, and the war is still successful, as for the siege of the city, that is, the material used as cannon fodder, this kind of cannon fodder can't die too much, otherwise it is one thing to affect the morale of the army, in case of a counterattack by the defenders in the city, maybe even the original purpose of the blockade war will have to fall into the void, as for the 15,000 naval troops in the Tang army, although they are brave, It's a pity that I haven't received special siege training, so it can't be of much use, and the only thing I can count on is actually the more than 33,000 Tang Army troops at hand, and then deduct more than 8,000 cavalry, the ones that can be sent to attack the city are actually only 25,000 troops, and it's not easy to take Zhou Liucheng with such a small number of troops, you must know that the defenders in the city have more than 60,000 regular troops, and then count the people in the city who are assisting in the defense, and the total strength can reach 100,000 people. Even if they can barely take this city, the casualties of the Tang army will be heavy, how can they have the capital to participate in the next battle?

It's not advisable to attack by force, so there is only one way to go, fire attack? Digging tunnels? Flooding? It doesn't seem to be very feasible, at least in Xue Wanche's opinion, these little tricks are difficult to work, the only feasible thing is to lure the defenders out of the city, and then annihilate them in the field, but unfortunately the last time the Gao Bai coalition army was killed too badly, a group of defender generals have long been killed, even when the Wu Bai Shui Army came to the rescue before, the defenders did not dare to go out of the city to respond, at this time the Wu Bai Water Division has been exhausted, and the defenders in the city dare to go out of the city to fight again.

Just consumed like this, until the food in the city runs out? That's okay, after all, the grain and grass in the city were only enough for two or three months, and the Tang army drove the people from all over the country into the city, which made the food in the city very tight, and now the city has been blocked for nearly a month, even if the city is limited in terms of use, it is difficult to support it for two more months, and at that time, the city will be in chaos without a fight, and it is very likely that the city guard will be at his fingertips, the problem is that time waits for no one, and when it really comes, maybe the army on the prince's side has already hit the city of Pyongyang, And this is not the scene that Xue Wanche wants to see.

Headache, really a headache! Xue Wanche has always been strong in leading the troops, only pursuing the maximum victory, which is also the root reason why Li Shimin evaluated his leading troops as "either a big victory or a big defeat".

"Brother Xue, why don't you drink alcohol, the Japanese are all gone, what are you still puzzled about? Hehe, are you homesick? Just when Xue Wanche was squatting in front of the sand table and thinking hard about the best way to break the enemy, Niu Jinda, who was full of wine, came in from outside the big tent, holding a huge wine jar in his hand, and drank a few sips while walking.

"Oh, Brother Niu is here." Xue Wanche heard the sound, raised his head, saw that it was Niu Jinda, nodded, and answered absentmindedly, and then looked down at the sand table again, without the intention of getting up to give up his seat for Niu Jinda.

"Yo, could it be that Brother Xue is still fighting the idea of staying in the city this week? I guess I'm thinking about going to Pyongyang for a while. Niu Jinda saw that Xue Wanche's expression was wrong, he was stunned for a moment, casually put the wine jar on the side, staggered to the sand table, only glanced at it, and immediately guessed where Xue Wanche's thoughts were.

"Hmm." was told by Niu Jinda, Xue Wanche didn't deny it, nodded and said, "Brother Niu has any clever plan for this?" ”

"It's a bit tricky!" Niu Jinda stretched out his hand and touched his sweat-stained forehead, and said with a sigh: "It is said that the grain and grass in the city will be exhausted, and it will not be able to hold for a long time, and by mid-September at the latest, there will be chaos in the city. ”

"How can I not know about this matter, but now ......, hey, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dares to take command of the expedition this time, presumably he has a temple in his heart, look at the time, I am afraid that it will be able to reach the city of Pyongyang in less than September, our army is trapped here, even if Baekje is destroyed, it is not a great achievement, if you don't do it, if you want to, you have to do your best, what can Brother Niu teach someone?" Xue Wanche shook his head with a wry smile, stood up, looked at Niu Jinda, and said slowly.

Seeing that Xue Wanche was so stubborn, Niu Jinda shook his head with a smile and said: "Hey, after so many years, Brother Xue is still such a temper, no matter what, brother, I will accompany Brother Xue to play a game, hehe, don't say, when I destroyed the Japanese Navy earlier, I really thought about it, but I also thought of a way, maybe it will work." ”

"Oh? Brother Niu can do anything, please tell me and listen. Xue Wanche was worried about himself, and as soon as he heard Niu Jinda say that he had a clever plan, he immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly urged.

"This strategy, hehe, I have done something, I have to be in the hall of elegance, so it doesn't hurt to try." Niu Jinda had the intention to sell Guanzi, and he talked nonsense for a long time, but he didn't say what the method was, and Xue Wanche's eyes widened when he heard it, and when he saw Xue Wanche behaving like this, Niu Jinda laughed and said: "Brother Xue, don't worry, brother, I'll say it, well, since ancient times, the word 'he' has been difficult to write, and now the Goguryeo army in the city is overwhelming, there is an article to do here, what does Brother Xue think?" ”

"Huh?" Xue Wanche's eyes rolled, and he had already guessed Niu Jinda's unfinished words, paced a few steps quickly in the big tent, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Someone!" Xue Wanche was strict in governing the army, he shouted like this, and there was a great chaos outside the tent, and a group of guards rushed into the big tent one after another......

Compared with the festive atmosphere in the Tang Xin camp, Zhou Liucheng can be described as a group of gloomy clouds - although the high-level of the army issued a gag order, but the news that the naval division of the Japanese Hundred Alliance Army was completely annihilated still spread, and the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city was low, and they could not live in panic, in this depressing atmosphere, a group of generals of the Gao Bai Coalition Army had to gather in the city to defend the mansion and discuss countermeasures, but in the face of such a situation of fighting and beating the Tang Army, and there was nowhere to escape, a group of generals discussed and discussed, but they never came to a result. The already depressing atmosphere was even more bleak, and everyone sat upright with grim faces, and no one knew what to do next.

"Report, the Tang army outside the city shot into the city with countless bags, and the people in the city picked it up one after another, General Gong can't stop it, and I hereby ask you to make it clear." Just when everyone was silent, a general hurried up from outside the meeting hall, one knee to the ground, and a small cloth bag was held high with both hands.

"Hand it over."

"Bring it!"

As soon as he heard what the partial general said, the Baekje prince Fu Yufeng and the Goguryeo commander Gao Quansheng opened their mouths almost at the same time, which made the partial general not know who to listen to, so he was stunned on the spot. The general secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly got up, and handed the small cloth bag in his hand to Gao Quansheng.

"Ridiculous, nonsense, hateful!" Gao Quansheng tore the seal of the small cloth bag, revealing a piece of cloth full of words inside, only to look at it, he was so angry that he smoked, and angrily threw the cloth to the few pieces in front of him, and then his face turned blue and he scolded.

When the generals saw Gao Quansheng behaving like this, all the two monks were confused, but they didn't dare to ask each other easily, so they could only look at Fu Yufeng with their eyes, waiting for Fu Yufeng to make an idea.

"General Gao, why is this so?" Fu Yufeng saw that all the generals were staring at him, so he had to ask gently.

"Prince Yu, please take care of yourself, hum, Tang Kou dog thief, talking nonsense, it's ridiculous!" When Gao Quansheng heard Fu Yufeng's question, he casually crumpled the cloth on the few pieces into a ball, and threw them on the few pieces in front of Fu Yufeng, and his face was angry on the floor, without giving Fu Yufeng a good look.

For Gao Quansheng's rude behavior, Fu Yufeng was inevitably angry, but his city was deep, but he didn't show it, just smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and spread out the crumpled cloth, only to find that the text on it was actually written in the characters of Gao and Bailiang, and the content was not much, in addition to preaching the destruction of the entire army of the Japanese Hundred Alliance, there was also a piece of news, that is, it was said that the Tang Prince Li Zhen's department had hit the city of Pyongyang, saying that Goguryeo was about to destroy the country, saying that the Tang Dynasty would only destroy Goguryeo, He also said that the reason why Zhouliucheng was besieged was because the Goguryeo army was here, and said that the army was about to break the city soon, and it was necessary to destroy the Goguryeo people, if the people in the city were not Goguryeo, they all hung red cloth and flowers in front of the door, so that they could keep safe, if not, they would be regarded by the Goguryeo people, and a reward would be hung up, but if there were soldiers and civilians in the city, those who killed one Goguryeo soldier could exchange one bag of wheat for one bag, and those who killed an officer could get one stone of wheat, and those who killed more than a thousand households could get three horses and ten stones of wheat, and so on.

"General Gao, why be angry, this is just Tang Kou's strategy of discord, if you want to mess with our army's hearts and ears, you don't have to take it seriously." Fu Yufeng quickly read the words on the cloth, and then laughed.

"Hmph, how can Gao not know." Hearing the laughter of Fu Yufeng, Gao Quansheng realized that he was a little out of shape, but he didn't want to soften it, so he snorted coldly and said: "A certain non-angry Tang Kou's discordant heart is really not angry with Tang Kou's rumors, think about what a heroic figure Gao Huailong is a certain cousin uncle, when the day Khan came in a big way, but he was defeated by a certain cousin uncle, now the Tang prince Li Zhen is just a child, how can he live in a safe city, and he openly shows people with lies, such acts are really annoying!" ”

"What General Gao said is very true, just a fallacy, not enough to worry about, hehe, not enough to worry about it, just as you and I are sincerely united, we can keep it safe, oh, by the way, today is the day when it is time to allocate grain, Xiao Wang then sent someone to send grain and grass to the general." Seeing Gao Quansheng say this, Fu Yufeng felt a little relieved, and hurriedly spoke out to be relieved.

"It's hard work, Gao was very angry with Tang Kou today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to discuss it again, why don't I give up, discuss it another day, and say goodbye." Gao Quansheng had other plans in his heart, and he had no intention of discussing matters again, so he dropped a sentence and led Liang Dahai, Geng Cheng and other Goguryeo generals to leave in a hurry.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, there may be changes in the Goguryeo army, and you have to guard against it." As soon as Gao Quansheng and the others left, Futu Daochen, who had been silent during the deliberations before, flashed out from the side, looked at Fu Yufeng with a worried face, and spoke very cautiously.

"General Futu is talking nonsense, at this time, we and Goguryeo are a combination of two benefits, and a split is a two-defeat situation, General Gao is not an unknown person, how can he fall into the evil of Tang Kou, His Royal Highness the prince must not listen to slander." As soon as Futu Daochen's words fell, Fuxin Ghost Room immediately retorted unceremoniously.

Futu Daochen did not change his words because of the rebuttal of the ghost room Fuxin, nor did he pay attention to the face of the ghost room Fuxin, and blindly looked at Fu Yufeng and said: "Your Royal Highness, the old minister is not alarmist, if there is enough grain and grass in the city, there will be nothing to do with each other, and now the grain and grass will be exhausted, and it is controlled by me, it is difficult to ensure that the Goguryeo army does not think about it, if it is ......"

"General Futu doesn't need to say much, Xiao Wang knows it." Fu Yufeng waved his hand to interrupt Futu Daochen's words, paced back and forth anxiously in the council hall for a few steps, lowered his head and said: "General Ghost Room, I will bother you to make a trip to the delivery of grain today, well, just allocate two more percent of rice grain with them." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is not much food in the city, and I will give more of it, this is ......" When the ghost room Fushin heard that he wanted to give more food to the Goguryeo army, he immediately changed his face and defended unwillingly.

"Go, that's it." Fu Yufeng was distraught, and he didn't want to listen to Onimuro Fushin's explanation at all, so he waved his hand impatiently and motioned for Onimuro Fushin to step down. The ghost room Fuxin had the heart to persuade again, but when he saw that Fu Yufeng didn't even look at him, he shook his head helplessly, and weakly responded to the promise, and went to the grain depot to allocate grain and grass without mentioning it.

"General Futu, in your opinion, what will the Goguryeo army do?" After the ghost room Fuxin went, Fu Yufeng waved back left and right, glanced at Futu Daochen deeply, and asked thoughtfully.

Futu Daochen hesitated, but he didn't say anything, but lowered his voice and said: "Your Royal Highness the prince, according to the old minister, Zhou Liucheng is already an undefensible Jedi, unless there is a miracle, it will definitely not be delayed until September, Zhou Liuyi is lost, I Baekje is in danger, the reason why the Goguryeo people help me defend the city is just to save myself, and now the city is difficult to defend, it is expected that the Goguryeo people will abandon the city and flee, His Royal Highness should prepare as soon as possible." ”

"This ......" Fu Yufeng was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "The covenant is like a husband and wife, they fly separately when the disaster comes, but it is also an ordinary thing, and now the Tang Kou is besieging but not attacking, even if the Goguryeo people want to escape, I am afraid that it is not so convenient." ”

Futu Daochen shook his head disapprovingly and said: "His Royal Highness the prince made a mistake, it is expected that Tang Kou will definitely flee with him, and then hit it in the second half of the way, and then chase and cover it with the tail of the elite cavalry, it is already rare for Gao Quansheng to escape back to China in one of the ten stops." ”

"Ah......" Fu Yufeng stared at him in surprise, looked at Futu Daochen's expression carefully, and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, his brows immediately furrowed, and he rubbed his hands and said, "How should this be?" Xiao Wang went to say that he knew about General Gao and persuaded him to stay and hold on, maybe things would take a turn for the better. ”

"No, never!" When Futu Daochen heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly spoke out to stop him: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the Goguryeo people have already made up their minds, and those who cannot be persuaded by words, if Your Highness goes to solve this matter, there will be a disaster of death, Your Highness is not for yourself, but also for the foundation of my Baekje." ”

"This, how should this be, Xiao Wang's heart is in turmoil, what is Futu's opinion, please say it directly, Xiao Wang just listen." Fu Yufeng was flustered, and he was already six gods and no masters, and he turned around the hall blankly, but he couldn't come up with an accurate idea, and in desperation, he had to look at Futu Daochen sadly.

Futu Daochen took a deep breath and said: "The news that Tang Kouyan and the Tang Prince's department has arrived in Pyongyang is probably a lie, however, according to the old minister, this matter is likely to be staged, even if there is no Tang Kou's cloth, the Goguryeo people must be mindful, and now there is an excuse, they are more determined, the Goguryeo people are fleeing, but they are killing themselves, but they have ruined my Baekje country, it is really annoying, however, as long as His Royal Highness the prince is still there, my country will be endless, and there will always be a day of resurgence in the future. Taking advantage of the fact that Tang Kou's attention was attracted by the Goguryeo people, His Royal Highness could take advantage of the chaos to break through, cross the sea to the Wa Kingdom, and wait for a good opportunity to restore the country. ”

Fu Yufeng thought about it carefully, and at the end, he still shook his head and said, "How can this be done?" My father is still looking forward to the country, how can the little king abandon the country and leave, if so, isn't the little king a sinner of the country? ”

"Your Highness, do you really want me to die in Baekje? Manchu clan, except for His Royal Highness, there is no one again, if His Royal Highness does not leave, the old minister should admonish each other with death! As soon as Futu Daochen heard that Fu Yufeng refused to leave, he was anxious and fell to the ground on his knees, but he kowtowed vigorously, kowtowing so hard that his head was bleeding, but he still ignored it.

"General Futu can't be like this, this matter is important, and let Xiao Wang think about it again." Seeing this, Fu Yufeng hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help Futu Daochen, and said with a painful look on his face.

"Your Highness......" Futu Daochen was about to persuade him more, but Fu Yufeng shook his head to stop his words, walked to the windowsill, put his hands behind his back, looked out the window/dark sky, and stood silent.

"Hey......" Seeing this, Futu Daochen didn't dare to persuade again, sighed, shook his head, turned around and exited the hall, his back was heartbreaking......
