Chapter 387 Navigator

By the Yalu River, under the city of Daxing.

Yizhi Wende and Gao Jianwu were having a fierce argument, "You are confused and chased after you for a long time, but you didn't even notice that you had chased the wrong person yourself?"

Even Gao Jianwu, the brother of the Yizhiqi, was ignored by the King of Kings, and directly scolded him.

Gao Jianwu was also a little ashamed, but in front of the generals, he still had to be so handsome.

"I'm not confused, but I'm really too cunning."

Yizhi Wende pressed the sword with his hand, and really wanted to draw out the sword and cut the guy directly, "Let you burrow in the Sashui River, but your 70,000 army was defeated by Luo Cheng's 30,000 people. If you had to have 20,000 men from Marx, you would have let Luo Cheng wipe out all the way."

"Because of your own mistake, Sashui's plan to encircle and annihilate the 300,000 Sui army was defeated."

"And now, because of your own fault, let Luo Cheng take 20,000 Sui troops to Pyongyang. If Pyongyang has a half-point difference, can you afford this consequence?"

Gao Jianwu was angry, "General Yizhi, please remember your identity. Although you are a mattress, I am also a mattress, and I am still a mattress."

"So what if Luo Thief went to Pyongyang by treacherously? There are only 20,000 troops, how can he capture Pyongyang City?"

The two quarreled.

Although Gao Jianwu was the king's brother, he was not the king after all. Yizhi Wende was originally a general with extremely high prestige in the military. He also defeated the Sui army this time, and his prestige was even more unique. He was not afraid of Gao Jianwu's identity as the king's brother.

"Report!"

A Goguryeo light rider came to report.

"Report to the general, and according to the scout's return, he found that Luo Cheng led his troops to Pyongyang."

Echri gritted his teeth and came to whatever he was worried about. He was worried that Luo Cheng would kill him and go back to Pyongyang, but he really found out that Luo Cheng had gone to Pyongyang.

"Transfer the order and return to Pyongyang immediately and be sure to completely annihilate this Sui army."

Gao Jianwu was not happy.

"Daxing City must be taken down first. There are more than 50,000 Sui troops who escaped Yalu River. They cannot let them run away. They have to cross the river to chase them, and no one can be let go. As for the 20,000 Luo Zhe, don't worry, just send 30,000 to 50,000 people back."

"Thirty or fifty thousand people? You can't beat Luo Cheng's 30,000 people. Now you say that you can send 30,000 to annihilate Luo Cheng?"

Yizhi sneered, "It's better to leave 30,000 to 50,000 people in Daxing City to continue besieging the city. As for the defeated Sui Dynasty who escaped Yalu River, it will be handed over to Wugu, domestic, Heshenggu and other defenders. There are so many mountain cities, hundreds of miles, intercepting them heavily. No Sui army can escape back to Liaodong. The most urgent task is to bite Luo Cheng and annihilate them, so that they can't let them continue to roam. Even if he can't attack Pyongyang, the rear is empty now, and letting these 20,000 Sui troops burn, kill, loot everywhere, can still cause huge damage."

"We must stop him."

But how serious the Ren Yizhi said was, Gao Jianwu just refused to agree.

"You go to Pyongyang, anyway, I will continue to fight Daxingcheng."

If Gao Jianwu doesn't leave, then there are nearly 80,000 people on the Yalu River line now, and there are nearly 80,000 people who will not leave after his command.

After a long quarrel, Gao Jianwu refused to leave. In the end, he had no choice but to re-deploy. He transferred 30,000 of the remaining 80,000 people to the country and wait for Zhucheng in Jiangbei to be responsible for searching and suppressing the defeated Sui Dynasty. He personally led 50,000 troops and returned to Pyongyang to serve the king.

Beijiangkou.

On the sea just a hundred miles away from Beijiangkou, there is an island just twenty miles away from the shore.

This small island is like a white bird spreading its wings, so it is also called Bailing Island.

The island is not big, but it is close to the coast and is not far from the mouth of Beijiang. There is also a good bay port on the island. Therefore, after Lai Huer was defeated, he retreated along the river and finally withdrew from Beijiang.

Because of the great defeat and the arrival of the Nine Army, Lai Huer was worried about the attack of Goguryeo in Pyongyang, so he finally chose the island to settle for the time being.

At this time, there were 30,000 combat soldiers and 40,000 auxiliary soldiers on Bailing Island.

However, there are few ships on the edge of the island, and the huge fleet has returned to Donglai, preparing to transport the second batch of troops, money and grain.

There were only three troops from the sea last time. Although 30,000 main combat soldiers were lost, only 30,000 were lost, and the Eighth Army had a total of 300,000 people.

There are still 200,000 troops in Donglai's port camp.

Lai Hu'er believes that as long as the second batch of troops arrives, even if only 100,000 people are worth 100,000, he will have the confidence to return to Pyongyang City.

"Master, don't you know if the Ninth Army has arrived in Pyongyang?"

"Who knows, the people sent to inquire about the news have not come back yet."

Lai Hu'er said with some concern. He knew that he was careless for a moment, but he lost tens of thousands of main forces and had to retreat to the sea. But if the Ninth Army then arrived in Pyongyang, it would be difficult without the support of their navy.

Everyone knows that the Ninth Army only brought a small amount of food and grass, and along the way, there may be a lot of losses. I am afraid that even if I get to the city of Pyongyang, there will be not much food.

After the Ninth Army arrived at the city of Pyongyang, what they needed the most was the supplement of food, grass and military ordnance.

But before the Ninth Army arrived, he did not dare to take the risk of staying on land anymore. The powerful Goguryeo Corps in Pyongyang City made him very afraid.

Now he only hopes to wait for the news of the arrival of the Ninth Army as soon as possible. In this way, even if every two groups of navy troops have not arrived, he will still dare to bring tens of thousands of troops back to Pyongyang City.

"Master, the people who went to Pyongyang are back."

When Lai Hu'er heard this, she immediately became energetic.

"Call over here quickly."

When someone arrived, he came to Hu'er and asked in a hurry.

"How? Have the Nine Army arrived?"

The person who came had a sad face.

"Master, we just retreated from Pyongyang, and the Nine Army arrived later, only three days apart."

"Ah, the Nine Army has arrived?"

When I heard that it was only three days late, Lai Hu'er couldn't help but feel even more regretful. If it weren't for his carelessness at the time, he would have waited for three more days, so he would have successfully met with the Ninth Army to the city of Pyongyang. Maybe Pyongyang has been defeated now.

"Immediately send an order for the entire army to prepare the ships, we will land and fight back to Pyongyang!"

"Master, you can't go."

"How can't you go?"

"Three days after we were defeated and withdrew from Pyongyang, the Ninth Army arrived at the city of Pyongyang. They attacked the city for several days, with more than 10,000 casualties and then had no choice but to withdraw their troops. As a result, they were chased by the Goguryeo Army on their way north, with heavy casualties. They were defeated twice in the Sashui River and Yalu River. The Ninth Army collapsed, and tens of thousands of people died in battle, and more than 100,000 were captured. Only 30,000 to 50,000 people could escape the Yalu River. Only 30,000 to 50,000 people fled into the city of Daxing at the mouth of the Yalu River, but they were also surrounded by the Goguryeo people and trapped in the lonely city."

Lai Hu'er was stunned and lost.

"The Nine Army was defeated, and it was defeated? All 300,000 troops were lost?"

"This is impossible, impossible!"

"Master, this is true. The Nine Army was defeated, and it was defeated."

Deputy General Zhou Fashang also looked gray, "The Eastern Expedition has failed. Come to General, we are ready to retreat from the sea."
