Chapter 375 Ulchi Wende

On the wilderness sixty miles away from Pyongyang City.

Yuwen Shu, Yu Zhongwen and other Eighth Army generals all seemed to be sure to win.

Nearly 270,000 troops were connected to the camp for more than ten miles.

"There was a man who claimed to be a general of Goguryeo, Yizhi Wende, who came to see him and said he wanted to come and ask for peace."

"Hahaha, this Yizhi Wende ran faster than a rabbit when fighting. I thought he could run, but it turned out that he couldn't run anymore. Haha, let him see him."

Yuwen Shu was proud.

After a moment.

A middle-aged man in a robe came in, and as soon as he entered the tent, he bowed to the generals and said he would pay homage to the generals of the Heavenly Kingdom.

"You are Yizhi Wende?"

Yu Zhongwen narrowed his eyes and looked at the man. He was wearing a long robe and did not wear a sword. He looked more like a Confucian crown than a military general.

Ye Zhi smiled flatteringly, "Reply to the words of the General, I am the young general Yi Zhi Wende. Our country's monarch and ministers are afraid of the power of the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom and are very afraid. My king specially ordered me to surrender and seek peace, and I hope the general of the Heavenly Kingdom can make a fuss and let us go."

The generals of Xin Shixiong laughed and looked down on Yizhi Wende very much. They felt that they were ugly and had no integrity.

"Since you are asking for surrender, why didn't Gao Yuan come here to surrender in person?"

Yizhidao, "My king is preparing wine, meat, money and silk in Pyongyang for the purpose of receiving the wind and dust after the heavenly soldiers entered the city." As he said that, Yizhi handed over a surrender form, which was written by Gao Yuan himself.

The first sentence was "Gao Yuan, the minister of Liaodong, the minister of Liaodong,". How low is that attitude, but Yu Zhongwen was unmoved when he saw it. You should know that in the 18th year of Kaihuang, Emperor Wen sent 300,000 troops to conquer Liao to respond to Goguryeo's attack on Yingzhou in western Liaoning. Although for various reasons, the 300,000 troops were almost lost before they arrived in Liaodong, Gao Yuan immediately surrendered and claimed to be a minister of Liaodong.

Everyone knows that Gao Yuan’s apology is just a gesture of pretending, and Yu Zhongwen doesn’t believe it at all.

"Come on, take this thief off for me and push it out to behead him." Yu Zhongwen shouted loudly.

Yizhi Wende's face changed drastically, but he quickly calmed down, "General, the little one's sincerity represents my king's surrender, why do you want to kill the little one?"

Yu Zhongwen sneered.

"Before I went to war, I resigned to Your Majesty. Your Majesty once gave me a secret edict. If you see Gao Yuan, the Wende person will capture him and kill him. The person who comes will take him down and chop him down."

"I'm wronged, I'm really sincere in surrendering."

On the other side, Liu Shilong, the right chief of the Shangshu and the Nine Army’s comforting envoy, shouted loudly, “Stop!”

"Liu Youcheng, what do you mean?"

Liu Shilong shook his sleeves, "I am the official who is the envoy of the Nine Army's comforting and pacification, responsible for all matters such as comforting and surrendering. Since Wende, on behalf of Gao Yuan, we should surrender and approve it. How can we fight back?"

Yu Zhongwen said bluntly, "I am under the emperor's secret order."

"Where is the edict? Can you read it?"

"Since it is a secret edict, of course it is just a verbal edict, so how can it be put on paper?"

"Without a clear edict, how can I believe you? How can I know that you were not killing and surrendering for the sake of greed for merit?" Liu Shilong refused to give in.

Yu Zhongwen and Liu Shilong both stood up and refused to give in.

One was the general of the first right army and the commander of the fourth right wing army, and the other was the compassion envoy of the ninth army, which was a stalemate for a while.

At this time, Liu Shilong turned his head and looked at Yuwen Shu, "Master Yuwen, please come and preside over the presidency."

Yuwen Shu looked at Liu Shilong, then at Yu Zhongwen, and smiled.

"Ship Yu, since Liu Youcheng is the envoy of comforting and comforting, it is better to leave it to him to take charge of the surrender. As a general who commands the army, we just need to lead the troops to fight. Since the King of Goguryeo is willing to surrender, that is a good thing."

Yu Zhongwen despised Yuwen Shu in his heart, knowing that this old thief was just trying to suppress him everywhere.

"Brother Yuwen, I am under the emperor's secret order."

"But you can't come up with the edict, and this matter cannot be verified."

With Yuwen Shu's support, Liu Shilong was even more proud. He took the Gao Yuan surrender letter from Yizhi Wende, and then warmly treated him. After chatting for a long time, he finally made an appointment to hold a surrender ceremony at the west gate of Pyongyang City three days later, and then let Yizhi Wende leave.

When Yizhi Wende was in the camp, he looked right and pretended to be trying to witness the power of the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Celestial Kingdom, but in fact he was secretly looking at the Sui army's background.

When he was sent out of the camp by Liu Shilong, he rode back on his horse and quickly ran.

On the way, Yizhi's proud opponent said, "I see that the Sui army has no surplus food, the people are hungry and tired, and it is already the end of the power, especially the three of Yuwen Shu, Yu Zhongwen and Liu Shilong are still in a state of disagreement. This is a God-given opportunity. The time is ripe and you can close the net."

there.

It was only half a day since Yizhi left the camp, and a small cavalry team arrived in turmoil.

"Who is coming?"

"We are from the Left Five Army. We arrived at General Luo's order. There was an emergency military information conveyed to Yu Shuai."

The guards took them into the camp, and the information was quickly delivered to Yu Zhongwen.

After seeing the information sent by Luo Cheng, Yu Zhongwen slapped his thigh and said regretfully, "Sure enough, that cunning Yizhi Wende, hurry up and chase him."

After reading the letter Yu Zhongwen received, Yu Wenshu and Liu Shilong also felt a little regretful.

"Can Yu Shuai guarantee that Luo Cheng's words are true?"

Yuwen Shu is still asking questions.

"If Luo Cheng had no evidence, how dare he say this? Go and get the Yizhi back quickly."

Liu Shilong was also a little panicked now, "Okay, I hope I can catch up with him. I will say that there are still some specific matters to discuss, and ask him to come back and discuss it again."

A team of light horses chased after them with a whip.

It was only after chasing until the city of Pyongyang that he finally caught up with Eji Wende.

When they passed the words to Yizhi Wende, Yizhi Wende smiled and said, "Oh, I've already arrived in Pyongyang. It would be great if you caught up early. Now I have to report to the king first. Please let some people go back and tell Yu Wen and Yu Dashui and Ambassador Liu, and he said that they would come to Pyongyang directly and say something to him in person."

The few people looked at the Pyongyang City behind Yizhi and had no choice but to turn around and report.

In the camp, when everyone heard that Yizhi refused to come back, they had to remain silent.

"What should I do now?" asked one person.

Yu Zhongwen said a little unhappy, "What else can I do? I let go of Yizhi Wende for nothing. The virtuality and reality of our camp were still being seen by Yizhi. Now I can only follow what Luo Cheng said, and temporarily set up a camp here, and wait until Luo Cheng leads his troops to join us."

But Yuwen Shu and Liu Shilong were a little angry after being fooled.

"We only have a few days left for food and grass, so wait here? When will it be, who knows when Luo Cheng will come? Even if Luo Cheng comes, what's the use of us without food and grass? I'm going to say, just take advantage of the fact that there are food and grass now and kill directly under the city of Pyongyang. Maybe there is still a chance to capture Pyongyang in one fell swoop."

Yu Zhongwen objected.
