If you can't find Lai Hu'er, let alone defending Pyongyang City, you can't even evacuate.

Now they have conquered Pyongyang and captured Gao Yuan alive, but they are in a difficult situation.

"You said we're here, okay?" Siye asked. "Even if we can't find Lai Hu'er now, I believe he hasn't returned to Donglai County yet. As long as he is still on the coast of the Korean Peninsula, he will sooner or later know that we are in Pyongyang City. When he knows the news, he will definitely come to help."

But Wei Zheng broke Siye's fantasy.

"Although the third general said it well, there is a question that with more than 10,000 people, how long can we defend Pyongyang? Will we persist in the navy come to support? If we find Lai Hu'er now, we may be able to persist, but now we don't even know where the people who come to Lai Hu'er are. When will we persist and how long can we last?"

The Goguryeo army is about to come back at any time, and it may be as fast as three or five days later.

Now that the Eighth Army is defeated, although there is still a soldier in Daxing City, they cannot protect themselves. The Left Five Army in Pyongyang City cannot expect to see reinforcements from Liaodong.

However, Goguryeo was able to gather an army of 150,000 to 200,000 to capture Pyongyang.

The fourth brother was chewing a piece of beef jerky, "I would like to remind you that it is already July now. The climate in Liaodong is in September, but the autumn rain will continue. At that time, the water level of the big and small rivers will rise sharply. In addition, the autumn is cold in Liaodong, so it is extremely difficult to march, let alone the winter is even more difficult to march."

Luo Cheng pinched his chin and only had 17,000 people. It was too difficult to defend Pyongyang. Of course, if the Left Five Army defended the dead, there might be a certain chance of waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

But the question is, is this worth it to Luo Cheng?

Not to mention that the chance of defending is too low, even if he really defends and waits for reinforcements, he will probably have to throw all of his ten thousand people here. For him, Luo Cheng, it is really unpaid to achieve success and achievement of one general and his bones are undone.

Especially in the chaos today, the military power in his hands is the greatest guarantee. The number of people he has trained on the battlefield by Luo Cheng. Not to mention that he can fight, he has great prestige.

If this army is gone, even if Luo Cheng is promoted again at that time, it will probably be a loss.

Moreover, Luo Cheng didn't really believe that he could hold on.

As Lao Si said, it is already this time. After the Eighth Army was defeated, it is impossible for Liaodong to send a strong army to travel thousands of miles to Pyongyang for rescue.

Although the maritime forces are also a strong army, they are not convenient to transport them by sea. Especially when the Goguryeo army surrounded Pyongyang, even if we come to Huer, it may not be able to penetrate the interception and kill the more than 100,000 troops of Goguryeo to Pyongyang.

After all, Lai Hu'er had already lost 30,000 elite main forces under the Goguryeo Army, which shows that the Goguryeo Army is not weak. Since the Goguryeo Army can defeat Lai Hu'er first, then defeat Yuwen Shu and others, in a short time, annihilated more than 300,000 Sui Army, not only is it not weak but it is very strong.

Luo Cheng spoke slowly.

"All these days, I have been walking around the military camp below, chatting with everyone, and listening to their ideas. Most of the brothers actually feel that there is no need to defend Pyongyang. Everyone thinks that it is just to capture Pyongyang City and then get a vote and leave. You can't throw your life here."

"I think everyone is not afraid of death. After all, they followed me, Luo Cheng, and rushed here from Liaodong thousands of miles away. When they were in Sashui, they followed me back to Pyongyang without fear of death, but everyone is right. We don't need to fight here."

"As the saying goes, a city is dead, and a person lives. If the land is left and the land is lost, both the land is lost. If the land is left and the land is lost, the land can be taken back. Since we have the ability to conquer Pyongyang, we will have the ability to conquer him again."

Everyone was surprised to see Luo Cheng’s statement. They thought Luo Cheng would be angry and said they would stick to Pyongyang.

"But now I can't find Lai Hu'er. If we abandon Pyongyang, where will we go?"

"Be prepared to evacuate first, pack everything you should bring. Once you find Lai Hu'er, we will leave at any time. If we really can't find Lai Hu'er, then we can only evacuate to Baekje, Silla, or return to Daxing City to the north."

The fourth brother said with a sneer, "If I really want to retreat, I suggest killing all the Goguryeo people in the city first, and then burning Pyongyang City when I leave."

His proposal made everyone frown.

"There are now more than 100,000 people in Pyongyang City."

"So what? We have been killing fewer Goguryeo people along the way? Killed Xuantu City, killed Xincheng, killed Heshenggu City, killed Daxing City, killed by Sashui River, what are you still polite now?"

"Killing one is to kill, killing one hundred thousand people is also to kill."

Killing one person is a crime, killing ten thousand people is a hero, killing one hundred thousand people is a hero. In the eyes of the fourth brother, the Goguryeo people are not considered humans at all, and it is a war to kill as many as they kill.

"What's there to hesitate? Since we are leaving, should we keep these people? Let's keep them for the New Year or for the next time we come again. They can resist us. They will kill them all when they leave and set fire to the fire. Let's see how the Goguryeo people will resist next time?"

Wei Zheng had a few confusions over there. From a practical perspective, Luo Laosi said something right. It should have been like this. After all, it was a battle to destroy the country. But he was also reading the books of Confucian sages, and this act of massacre and burning the city was still a bit too horrifying.

But not killing or keeping is indeed a future problem, but you can’t take it away without killing.

Luo Cheng thought about it, but he was still unable to make up his mind.

"Send additional personnel to continue looking for navy along the coasts of both sides of Beijiangkou." Luo Chengdao.

After a pause, Luo Cheng said again, "Send someone to Daxing City to see if you can contact them, tell them that we have broken Pyongyang, and then abandoned Pyongyang, let them persevere, and wait until they turn back and let the navy pick them up."

"What about us?" Siye asked.

"Let the Goguryeo people in the city demolish Pyongyang City, demolish all the outer city, inner city, and palace city walls, demolish the city walls and fill them with me."

"We will leave after Pyongyang demolished it, leaving the women, old and weak, and leaving the young and strong, and let them transport us the seized materials with the army."

"Stay it, don't kill it?"

"A group of women, children, old and weak, are unkind to kill. Besides, keeping them will not cause any future troubles, and these people cannot resist us with weapons. Keeping them will instead give Goguryeo a burden."

As for these young and strong men in Goguryeo who may resist in the future, Luo Cheng would take them all away, so that they could not only transport supplies, but also reduce the number of people in Goguryeo.

"Remember to bring only money, silk and weapons. As for food, there is no need to bring too much, just bring some, and burn the rest on the spot."

Wei Zheng gave Luo Cheng a thumbs up, "This move of the general is more ruthless than the fourth general's massacre of the city!"
