Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Gai Suwen said with a smile: "Wang, I still think you are worried about something!"

"Isn't it just Li You? If he really dares to come to my Goguryeo, I will definitely avenge you."

Originally, Gai Suwen was a little worried about experienced commanders like Li Shimin and Li Ji, but now that he heard that the vanguard commander this time is likely to be the young prince Li You, he instantly became happy.

"This is King Qi's first time on the battlefield, and I happened to teach him an unforgettable lesson!"

However, Wang Jingzhi looked worried: "Master Quan, you haven't fought against this King Qi, so you don't know how powerful he is."

"My father teamed up with Master Cui of the Boling Cui Clan but he plotted against him. I don't think even Master Quan would dare to boast so much."

"And the changes that have taken place in the Tang army over the years are largely due to this king of Qi."

"Before, Master Quan was also amazed by the improvement of the Tang army's equipment that I brought."

"So if the vanguard commander on the opposite side is really Li You, Master Quan, please be extra careful."

Although Gai Suwen still didn't care about it in his heart, he nodded and agreed on the surface.

"King, I will be careful."

"But don't worry too much, there is still a big difference between talking about war on paper and real battles. Think about Ma Di and Zhao Kuo, didn't they have the right way before they failed!"

"When he comes to Goguryeo, he will find that the war is completely different from what he imagined."

"Wang, thank you for the news about your family. Now that I know more details, I'm going to go back and make some arrangements!"

After speaking, Gai Suwen laughed and left.

Watching Gai Suwen go away, Wang Jingzhi's heart became heavier.

He vaguely remembered that when his father left, he was equally full of ambition.

At this moment, Wang Jingzhi felt a little regretful.

It's not that he regrets fleeing to Goguryeo to serve as Gai Suwen's staff, but that he regrets not persuading his father not to be an enemy of Li You.

But now, it's too late.

Wang Jing sighed, and said to the servants beside him: "Go and clean up, the war is about to break out, I want to go to the mountains to be quiet and quiet."

After leaving from Wang Jingzhi, Gai Suwen came to his generals and talked about Xue Rengui and his 2 people.

"Lord Mo Lizhi, according to what you said, should we change our previous strategy to lure the enemy into deep?"

Before that, Gai Suwen and them made a strategy to fortify the walls and clear the country, and then use natural dangers and passes to defend, delay Xue Rengui's marching speed, and let the central army of Datang recall them.

But now the situation has changed.

Although Gai Suwen still didn't think that the appearance of Li You could change the situation of the battle, he believed in the influence of Qi Wang Li You in the court.

If Xue Rengui is really backed by King Qi, then even Li Ji will give him some face.

Then their strategy of waiting until Tang Jun recalled could not be carried out.

Therefore, Gai Suwen's idea now is to kill Xue Rengui's army at the least cost.

However, because Xue Rengui's attack time was greatly advanced, only 20 of the [-] troops that Gai Suwen can mobilize have actually assembled.

Even if he lent Gai Suwen ten guts, he would not dare to fight against [-] Tang cavalry with [-] Goguryeo cavalry.

So Gai Suwen simply gave the order not to resist.

Let all the troops enter the city, let Xue Rengui and his troops enter the hinterland of Goguryeo, and exchange the land of Goguryeo for the time for the army to assemble.

While letting Xue Rengui's troops go deep, small groups of troops were sent from cities along the way to destroy Xue Rengui's supply line, so that the combat effectiveness of this lone army gradually declined due to the inability to obtain effective supplies, and at the same time aroused their desire to fight.

Then Gai Suwen pointed heavily at a plain on the map and said, "After half a month, the Pyongyang Plain will be the place where this Tang army will be buried."

Gai Suwen's order followed the arrival of the pigeons to the front, and the Goguryeo army underwent obvious changes.

From the beginning of their constant fighting, they became vulnerable at the first touch, and sometimes, when they saw Tang Jun from a distance, they began to retreat.

Then, Xue Rengui was surprised to find that the Goguryeo army that had stood in front of them had all retreated into the city.

Xue Rengui also noticed the change as the enemy's resistance in front decreased.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Xue Rengui's face.

"Haha, Gai Suwen must have never imagined that my goal has always been Pyongyang!"

"Order the whole army to attack and attack Pyongyang with all its strength!"

"My lord's navy will arrive at the seaside of Pyongyang tonight, so let's join them at the foot of Pyongyang."

Xue Rengui's idea is not whimsical.

They are actually only three hundred miles away from Pyongyang. If the enemy troops in front do not stop them, then it will basically take a day to run at full speed with their horsepower at this distance.

As for Li You, although Li You said that he wanted to eat in Pyongyang City at night, that was actually based on the fact that Goguryeo had no coastal defense at all and the navy could reach Pyongyang along the Daedong River.

But in fact, Goguryeo also has coastal defenses, and after receiving the information of the Tang army's attack order, Goguryeo also has defenses on the Datong River, and it will never let the warships drive all the way so easily.

Under such circumstances, Li You's best choice is to go parallel to Pyongyang along the river bank waterway.

There is also a distance of 150 miles from the coastline to Pyongyang City.

So from this point of view, Xue Rengui and Li You arrived in Pyongyang at about the same time.

And because of sailing against the current, Xue Rengui's cavalry is more mobile and may be faster.

"Gai Suwen, maybe underestimating the prince is your biggest mistake."

After Xue Rengui muttered something to himself, he whipped his horse and galloped away with his [-] iron hooves.

At the estuary of the Datong River, at the Goguryeo sentry tower, two Goryeo soldiers lit torches while complaining.

Soldier A: "Have you heard that Tang Jun is coming again!"

Soldier B: "Of course I heard it. Didn't you see that we have fewer people here, saying that we are going to Pyongyang to rally against the Tang army."

Soldier A: "Hey, we are still safe here. We don't have to fight the Tang army head-on. I heard that the soldiers of the Tang army are all powerful, and one of them can beat us seven or eight!"

Soldier B: "You know it's nonsense, Tang Jun still has two eyes and one mouth."

"I've seen Tang Dynasty merchants in the city before, but they look the same as us."

"Although the clothes look better than ours, they can't be so strong."

"I heard from my father that we also fought against the Central Plains people back then, didn't we win?"

Soldier A: "That's true. Back then, the Central Plains people were planning to attack from land and sea, but they couldn't even break through our coastal defense line."

"These Central Plains people are pretty good on land, but when it comes to the sea, they really can't!"

"If you ask me, it's a waste to keep so many people defending. They should all be concentrated in Pyongyang."

However, just as the two were having a lively chat, a huge fleet appeared behind them.

Then, countless rockets launched into the sky, illuminating the entire coastline brightly.

"No, enemy attack!"
