As Wen Ting lit a brazier on the heights, a ship approached in the distance.

The boat is not big, and it can seat thirty or fifty people in one boat, and the boat rows through the water and comes slowly along the river.

The boat that came first came to the shore, and the person who came was a fisherman, who stepped on the wooden frame by the river, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Shilang, on the other side, there are only three or five people guarding it, just like in the past." ”

Zhang Da'an looked at the sky, and it was already night when the ships were assembled.

The boats rowed silently and docked neatly to the shore.

Wen Ting said in a low voice: "Zhang Shilang, you can cross the river at any time." ”

Hai Dongqing was still hovering in the night sky, and Zhang Da'an instructed: "Report what happened in Goguryeo to Chang'an City urgently, and we will go to rescue Li Yifu first." ”

"Whoa." A scribe received the message and hurried away.

The shore was quiet, and the procession was neatly lined up on the shore, just waiting for an order to cross the river.

Zhang Da'an took out a map, "This is the map that Li Yifu explored during his time in Goguryeo and the deployment of troops near the royal capital of Goguryeo. ”

Wen Ting frowned and said, "In this way, it seems that there are a lot of soldiers and horses along the royal capital. ”

Under the firelight, the map was not real, Zhang Da'an's expression was solemn, "We can only use 3,000 armor soldiers, and we can't easily use soldiers and horses from all over Liaodong, we can only use these people." ”

Wen Ting whispered: "Understand Zhang Shilang's difficulties, once you use Liaodong soldiers and horses, you will be suspected of being good at soldiers, and you will also fall into the hands of others in the future." ”

Being able to be understood, Zhang Da'an was relieved a lot, and his brother in the Ministry of Rites told him several times that he would not make a big move to take Goguryeo.

In fact, the soldiers and horses of the Goguryeo people were not strong, they didn't even have many war horses that could be used, and their weapons were even less satisfactory.

Zhang Da'an looked at the team on the side and whispered to him: "There are indeed a lot of soldiers and horses along the royal capital of Goguryeo, and now Yuangai Suwen is clearing the royal capital, and he will send heavy troops over there early tomorrow morning, and we will cross the river at night." ”

Wen Ting listened to the words and nodded.

"We only have 3,000 people, if we go to attack the royal capital, it will be a loss, and we can't waste a single soldier, we must use these 3,000 people in the royal capital."

Hearing this, Wen Ting pointed to a route and whispered: "It takes two more days to take a long detour, but during this time, we can avoid many soldiers and horses along the way, and when we reach the north of the capital of Goguryeo, we can take it directly." ”

The two reached a consensus that the current strength was insufficient, and it would be unwise to directly collide with the soldiers and horses along the way.

If you want to win this battle, you must use the only people you have.

The royal capital that raided Goguryeo was the best.

Wen Ting also sent people to gather the manpower of the county officials in Liaodong to the shore to give Goguryeo a false impression that Liaodong was still training troops and had not crossed the river.

Here's an illusion that you're still fighting hard.

"Zhang Shilang, according to our spies, Goguryeo is mostly a dirt village, and there are few towns, but there is only one capital city that is quite decent, just a group of rabble."

The quality of Goguryeo's soldiers and soldiers was far worse than that of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the arrangement of troops.

Zhang Da'an lowered his hat and said in a low voice: "Cross the river." ”

Wen Ting waved the torch in his hand and threw it into the river.

Everyone extinguished their torches and began to cross the river on boats.

The boats on the shore lined up, and the soldiers picked up the oars and were the boatmen, and by the night, the soldiers in armor slid the river with their oars, and the boats slowly headed towards the opposite shore.

The Goguryeo arrangement was very interesting, they had men on the other side, but they were all looking at the opposite side, and with a little patience and a little more travel, the boats could land on a river beach in the west.

In the moonlight, the ship was already far from shore.

The ship moved silently, silently.

The crowd held their breath and tried not to make a sound.

The boat had been in the middle of the river for half an hour before they came to a beach with mud on the shore.

At this time, people cannot get off the boat, and once they get off the boat, they will inevitably fall into the quagmire, sink deeper and deeper and be drowned alive in the mud.

Aside from the fact that the Goguryeo people were not very concerned about the management of the river embankment, in fact, as long as the river is well repaired and connected to Liaodong, it can be developed into a good port, whether it is fishermen or trade, they can make each other rich.

But Goguryeo didn't care, that is, he would rather keep the fishermen along the coast poor, than let the villagers here have more contact with Liaodong on the other side.

Zhang Da'an was so disgusted by this feeling of dividing the land and ruling that many Goguryeo people could only sneak across the river to Liaodong to do business.

Goguryeo's name is to prevent their wealth from flowing out, but in fact, it is to prevent more and more Goguryeo people from escaping to Liaodong and settling down, losing their own population.

After passing through this river beach, there was finally solid land to tread, and Zhang Da'an led people into a reed field.

Three thousand men marched together, and the reeds fell one by one.

Some villagers saw that the Tang army had crossed the river and had already gone ashore, and was about to shout in a panic, but the other party had already run in front of him, covered his mouth and held it on the ground.

Zhang Da'an and Wen Ting walked out of the reeds, and the soldiers had already controlled the five families here.

While sending people to keep an eye on the surroundings, he settled the soldiers and packed up here to prepare for the royal capital of Goguryeo.

Then everyone put on their horizontal swords and prepared their bows and arrows.

Zhang Da'an treated these villagers well, talked to them in Goguryeo, and learned from the mouths of these villagers that these people were also disgusted by Yuangai Suwen, who was originally born in the Yuangai family.

This man has a bad reputation in the community, and his bad deeds are many.

The reputation in Goguryeo was already very bad, and he still wanted to seize power.

Wen Ting felt that Yuan Gai Suwen was a fool, and this person must be very easy to deal with.

Zhang Da'an distributed the grain brought from the other side to the villagers here, and they liked the rice noodles and meat very much, because they had never eaten such clean food in Goguryeo.

So much so that the villagers here wanted to send some dried fish to the soldiers, Zhang Da'an smelled the pungent fishy smell and almost vomited on the spot.

The Goguryeo people were very poor, they lived in thatched huts, because the opposite side was Liaodong, and the soldiers along the coast did not allow them to build ships, so they had to cast nets on the shore.

And here people want to distinguish between rich and poor, they can only use whose family has more dried fish and whose family has less dried fish to distinguish it.

Even between the marriage of a family, dried fish is a dowry.

When Da'an took out the copper coins to them, the villagers knelt down on the spot.

It stands to reason that the people closest to the banks of the Liaodong River should be the richest, but in Goguryeo, the opposite is true, and the people here are poorer.

Wen Ting didn't know what Zhang Da'an had to talk about with these villagers, and he could talk for so long.

Wen Ting couldn't understand Goguryeo, so he could only wait for Zhang Da'an to be alone, and then stepped forward and asked, "Zhang Shilang, we are all ready, we can attack at any time, and the sky is about to dawn." ”

The east has already appeared white, and seeing that the sky is about to dawn, Zhang Da'an is still calm and relaxed, which makes Wen Ting very dissatisfied.

"I just told the villagers here that my relatives from the south came here a few days ago, and the wind has risen in the sea south of Goguryeo, saying that there will be strong winds crossing the country every year, and we are going to march now, and there is no place to hide."

Zhang Da'an looked at Wen Ting's surprised expression, and said with a smile: "Wait for two days, and after this strong wind has passed, it is best to go again, and besides, the old man here is willing to show us the way." ”

Wen Ting said curiously: "Brother Da'an." ”

Seeing that he was looking at himself more and more suspiciously, Zhang Da'an wiped the horizontal knife in his hand and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”

"What the hell did you say to them, they helped us so much."

Zhang Da'an put away the horizontal knife and explained: "We are Tang people, they naturally dare not offend, we do not encroach on their houses, nor disturb their lives, give them food and money, they are naturally willing to help us do things, and I also promised that as long as they help us spend three or two days here, when the time comes, we will rescue the messenger, and let them settle in Liaodong." ”

"These people live in Goguryeo, but as long as they can move to Liaodong, their lives will become rich, who wouldn't want to?"

Wen Ting sat under the eaves and watched the weather clear up, and the sky was thick with clouds and no sign of rain.

I thought that the old man of the villagers here was wrong, but in the afternoon, the wind blew fiercely and the rain poured down.

Fortunately, I listened to the advice of the villagers here, otherwise 3,000 people would probably be caught in the wind and cold in the rain, let alone fighting, and it is not strange to walk through the mountains and forests to die.

Zhang Da'an sat under the eaves of the villagers' houses, watching from a distance as the river became turbid due to the rain, and the river soon rose.

The river was about to overflow in front of the house, so Daan asked his soldiers to build a waterproof embankment to prevent the river from flooding the place.

The Tang army is not a bandit and will not rob the villagers, but has a good quality and will even help the villagers.

Even the people in the Goguryeo army often snatched food from the villagers here.

The old man of the village was very prestigious, and he went out for a trip and came back in the evening with a piece of news.

The royal capital of Goguryeo had been sealed down, and Yuangai Suwen had killed dozens of ministers.

This act Yuan Gai Suwen did gain great power, but his reputation was also poor, and everyone would fear him instead of supporting him, and even if he gained power for a while, he would overturn sooner or later.

The heavy rain was still falling, and as expected, early this morning, Yuan Gai Suwen sent men to reinforce the riverbank to prevent the Tang army in Liaodong from crossing the river.

It's just that he doesn't know that the 3,000 Tang Army has crossed the river first, and now Yuangai Suwen is only guarding against the suspicious soldiers on the other side.

In this way, Yuangai Suwen continued to focus on the opposite shore, so that it was difficult to detect that the Tang army had crossed the shore.

An arrogant, conceited, and arrogant fool who does not tolerate dissent, this kind of person will not be in power for long.

The Tang envoy Li Yifu had fled with the King of Goguryeo, but fortunately, the current King of Goguryeo was still alive, and Yuangai Suwen sent many people to track down the whereabouts of the King of Goguryeo and Li Yifu.

Listening to these news, Zhang Da'an was generally clear about the current situation.

First of all, it can be known that Yuangai Suwen arranged a heavy defense on the opposite bank of Liaodong, with a number of about 2,000.

According to the news sent by Li Yifu earlier, there were 20,000 soldiers and horses in the capital of Goguryeo, of which less than 8,000 were capable of fighting.

Yuangai Suwen also sent a number of people out to find the traces of the king of Goguryeo.

Zhang Da'an whistled, and Hai Dongqing, who was eating a fish in the rain, raised his head, and it flapped its wings in front of him.

Hanging a small piece of bamboo tube on its paws, even the Goguryeo people themselves could not find the palace of Yi Yi and the king of Goguryeo.

Hai Dongqing has an advantage, it can find people he is familiar with in high places.

The day after Hai Dongqing was released, it still didn't fly back.

It also rained heavily for two days, and the ground was very muddy, and there was a thick mud in front of the house, which was very bad to step on.

On the fifth day, the rain stopped, and news continued to be sent from the royal capital of Goguryeo, and the spies who had been arranged in Goguryeo also came one after another.

Zhang Da'an was much more settled in his heart, and in the early years, these spies were arranged by the Ministry of Rites.

They have been lurking in Goguryeo for three years, and all the changes that have taken place here in these three years are visible, such as how Yuangae Suwen grasped the military power step by step, and what is the current power of Yuangae Suwen.

Inside, wisps of white smoke were emitting from the charcoal fire, and some rain was falling from the roof after the heavy rain.

Soldiers are renovating houses here, which were dilapidated at first and are now being repaired.

Tang Jun was very dissatisfied with the place where he landed, and he hated to huddle together to hide from the rain on typhoon days.

So we started to build a few big and spacious houses.

This village became the base camp of the Tang army temporarily.

After a while, Wen Ting came back in a hurry, he pushed open the door and said loudly: "Li Yifu has returned with the king of Goguryeo." ”

Zhang Da'an had already heard Hai Dongqing's cry outside the house.

When everyone heard this, they looked up, and Li Yifu's clothes were very clean, and the king of Goguryeo looked very embarrassed.

"Brother Yifu, resourceful, admired." Zhang Daan bowed.

The crowd also saluted each other.

Li Yifu sat down and ate the pasta in front of him, "It's rare to eat Liaodong's food, where did this food come from?" ”

"From the other side."

Wen Ting explained: "Our people will cross the river at night to bring grain, this year's harvest in Liaodong, we have endless food in the rear, and the Goguryeo people are not strict about this place." ”

Li Yifu sat upright and gobbled up food, while the Goguryeo king on the side bowed down and could only swallow saliva.

When Li Yifu was full and handed him three or two pieces of cake, the Goguryeo king ate it.

He poured down a sip of tea and began to explain what had happened in the past two days.

It turned out that the king of Goguryeo went to inspect the army at the invitation of Yuan Gai Suwen, but was intercepted by Li Yifu and took him to escape first.

A good Goguryeo king was robbed, and Yuan Gai Su Wen was angry and killed many people.

And this Goguryeo king knew that he could only rely on the Tang people to help him exterminate the thieves, so he could only turn to Li Yifu, the only envoy of the Tang Dynasty in Goguryeo.

After escaping from the capital of the Goguryeo king, Yi Yifu summoned the Goguryeo king as a person and asked him to pull a cart all the way here.

Now that he is alive, the king of Goguryeo will also thank Yi Yifu for saving his life.

A Goguryeo king grovelled to the envoys of the Tang people, and was even willing to be a subordinate, and in order to avoid being traced in order to avoid being traced, no one would think that a village man pulling a cart would be a Goguryeo king.
