Tang's dining table

A woman, with a group of maids, a slave trader, and more than a thousand slave soldiers, walked eastward against the rising sun.

Regardless of whether Yun Chu helped her or not, she set out firmly towards her goal without any hesitation or hesitation.

Perhaps Yunchu was just one of her many targets, and not that important.

Yunchu couldn't remember any memory about Princess Lelang in his mind, so this woman didn't accomplish anything big.

But, she works really hard.

Jiang Taiyu's head was placed in a wooden plate, which was beheaded by Jin Yanxuan herself. Before beheading Jiang Taiyu, she kissed Jiang Taiyu.

Yunchu asked his subordinates to hang Jiang Taiyu's head on a very high pole, so that he could watch Jin Yanxuan's retreating back for a while longer.

Because, until the moment when the long knife in Jin Yanxuan's hand was swung down... Jiang Taiyu said - no regrets.

Yunchu originally wanted to plot the wealth in Jin Yunxuan's hands. Seeing Jiang Taiyu's fate, he decided that when he saw Jin Yunxuan again in the future, his eyes must be more polite and not linger on other people's breasts or buttocks. , so as not to fall into the magic circle of this witch and end up like Jiang Taiyu.

The mountain fire has burned behind the towering mountains. Without the help of the sea breeze, the fire burned very slowly.

If there is another autumn rain, it should be extinguished.

The smaller pine trees have long since been burned out of sight, and the ones that are still burning are generally very large pine trees. Many pine trees have been broken in the middle, and some are gradually collapsing.

Only the tall walls were left in Stone City, and even the huge city gate made of hardwood was now riddled with holes in the fire.

In the morning, a team of 2,000 Tang cavalrymen rushed over quickly. At that time, Yun Chu's tribe was eating.

Because the nearby water sources were full of black ash, it was impossible to take a shower or wash your face. Everyone looked very embarrassed when they ate.

The cavalry general looked at the ruins of the stone city in surprise and asked the guard where Yun Chu was. He was told that the general had been fighting fiercely with the enemy all night and was sleeping now.

No one dared to disturb the general who had just finished burning the city.

The captains of the Yunchu Department enthusiastically invited the cavalrymen, who had breakfasted very early in order to rescue them, to have a meal together.

Yun Chubu's food was very rich, mainly because too many livestock died in the fire.

At noon, Guo Daifeng arrived in a hurry and marched sixty miles in half a day. Guo Daifeng's attitude in rescuing Yun Chubu was very correct.

So, the cooks from Yunchubu made another meal for these hungry comrades.

Yunchu entertained Guo Daifeng warmly and even gave him some anti-virus drugs, but not much. No one wanted to have Gao Kan's head chopped off because of drunkenness and to keep company with Jiang Taiyu on the pole.

Guo Daifeng kept eating and drinking, but after eating and drinking, he took his troops and set up camp near the Yunchu military camp.

As a former soldier, Yun Chu should continue to set off at this time to clear the way for the entire army. However, Gao Kan's order never came, so Yun Chu had to stay in Shicheng and wait for the general's next instructions.

It was already afternoon when Gao Kan arrived. After looking at Jiang Taiyu's head, he pointed at the still burning stone city and asked, "Are the rest inside the fire scene?"

Yun Chu said: "Actually, there aren't many. Most of the troops were killed by Guo Daizhao and the others in Rock Valley, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled."

Gao Kan said: "I will record your contribution in the credit book."

Yun Chu cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, General."

Gao Kan pondered for a moment and said, "Is the damage serious?"

Yun Chu said: "More than 300 people were damaged in the battle, mostly wounded, and less than a hundred people died in the battle."

"Can I still be a former soldier?"

"As long as the general has orders, Yun Chu will obey them."

"Forget it then, let Master Zhang, a man from Wugong County, lead an army of ten thousand as the vanguard, and you will be the guard for the rear."

Yunchu cupped his hands and said, "I will obey the general's orders."

Seeing Yun Chu dealing with him sternly, Gao Kan sighed and said, "You are from the military... Well, you might as well not tell me."

Yunchu felt that he had nothing to say to the general. Currently, the generals group was at the peak of its glory due to the conquest of Goguryeo. He had nothing to do with the generals group if he quit before the peak.

Before dark, heavy rain fell.

The originally warm surroundings of Stone City immediately entered the chilling cold autumn.

The pine trees on Weishan Mountain were basically burned away by Yunchu. When the heavy rain came, a black mudslide immediately formed. The mudslide surged down from Weishan Mountain and poured into Shicheng. After sweeping back and forth in Shicheng, it destroyed the city. The door finally entered the Biliu River, dyeing the originally clear Biliu River black.

After taking down Shicheng, the next target should be Jili City.

However, this was not the first time that Shicheng was captured by the Tang army.

In March of the 21st year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong ordered Niu Jinda to be the general manager of the Qingqiu Road march, and Li Haihan, the general of Youwuhou, to be the deputy general manager. He led more than 10,000 troops to cross the sea from Laizhou into Goryeo territory by boat.

In July, Niu Jinda and Li Haihan led their troops across the sea and entered the territory of Goryeo. Niu Jinda led the Tang army to fight against the Goryeo army. In more than a hundred battles, they were invincible.

On the 10th, the Tang army captured Shicheng and entered Jili City. More than 10,000 Korean soldiers came out of the city to fight. Niu Jinda sent deputy general Li Haihan to defeat them and beheaded more than 2,000 soldiers.

The Stone City at that time was different from the Stone City now. It was because the Stone City was breached by Niu Jinda that the later built Stone City made up for all the shortcomings. As a result, Yun Chu had no other option but to attack with fire.

The same is true for Jili City. The last time they went out to fight, more than two thousand people were beheaded by the Tang army. This time, they will probably accept the lesson from the last time and close the city without leaving, just to defend.

According to their experience, as long as the Tang army can be delayed until October, the Tang army will automatically retreat due to the cold.

Therefore, how to capture Jili City has become a concern for everyone.

Jili City is similar to Shicheng, but its scale is not comparable to Shicheng.

During the nearly seven hundred years of Goguryeo's existence, the Goguryeo people established a complete military defense system in order to adapt to the needs of outward expansion and resist foreign invasion.

Among them, there are more than 170 in Liaodong.

The characteristic of Goguryeo mountain castles is that most of them were built on the natural direction of the steep mountains. Most of them were centered on a larger mountain city and connected with several smaller mountain cities to form a mutual echo, increase the flexibility of defense and form an overall situation.

Judging from the scale of mountain towns, they can be divided into three types: large, medium and small.

Castles like Shicheng, which are located on towering mountains, can only be regarded as medium-sized cities, while Jili City belongs to the sum of sixteen small and medium-sized cities.

In real terms, Shicheng is just an outpost of Jili City. It was only because of Jiang Taiyu's identity that he broke away from Jili City and then used Shicheng to control the six surrounding cities.

Such a large city cannot be shaken by only four thousand people in Yunchu. It is not surprising that Master Zhang, a male from Wugong County, is the front army.

It was raining heavily outside the military tent, and the inside of the military tent was also wet and muddy. There was nothing they could do about it. The place where the military tent now stood was already the third high ground they had moved to.

Wen Wen came in from the outside, took off the rainproof tarpaulin, and said to Yun Chu, who was sitting cross-legged on the camp bed: "The water in the Biliu River has surged, and the originally agreed upon plan for the navy to assist the attack on Jili City has been ruined. Over there, the navy He said that only after the flood stops can we send ships to assist in attacking Jili City."

Yunchu looked at the pouring rain outside and said, "With this weather, not to mention the navy can't get in, we can't reach Jili City either."

He gently wiped the water drops on his hair and said: "This may be the last heavy rain in Liaodong. When the rain stops, Liaodong will enter winter. This time, we won't return to the imperial court, right?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "It's unlikely. We've brought all the cotton-padded jackets, so it's impossible to retreat.

The winter in Liaodong is severe and long, and the place is vast. Liaodong alone cannot be conquered by us in half a year. If we only fight Goguryeo for half a year every year, the Tang Dynasty will not be able to withstand such wear and tear. "

"You mean that we have to continue fighting in winter and rely on these thin cowhide tents?

I heard my ancestors say that the cold wind in Liaodong cannot be resisted by soldiers lighting a fire. It is the real fire that warms the chest and the wind that makes the back feel cold.

If we don't retreat during the winter, our situation will be too difficult. "

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Whether we can retreat or not, you will know by looking at the temperaments of our emperor and coach.

This may be Li Ji's last military career. How could he tolerate such a failure? Our emperor is a young and energetic leader. If these two are together, you will be frozen in Liaodong. "

He looked at Yun Chu with tender admiration and said, "No wonder you only transported the precious furs captured by the soldiers back to the Tang Dynasty. You kept all the sheepskins and wolf skins. Are you preparing in advance to keep out the cold?"

Yunchu didn't answer Wen Wen's words, but took a letter from the bed and handed it to Wen Wen, saying, "This is from Jin Yanzhen. You can read it before talking."

After reading the letter quickly, Gentle said: "She is in Jili Castle now, and she also said that Yeon Gaesumun's eldest son Yuan Nanyan is in Jili Castle, and at the same time, 60,000 reinforcements from Goguryeo have also arrived.

So, our attack on Jili City this time is basically out of the question, right? "

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "As long as that boy Yuan is willing to have a fierce field battle with Datang, we might be able to change the current situation."

Gentle said: "The son of Yeon Gaesumun should not be a fool, right?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Who knows, you can tell just by looking at Jiang Taiyu's character. Boy Yuan was born to Jiang Taiyu's sister. As the saying goes, a nephew is like an uncle. Maybe this guy's brain is also very wrong? "

Wen Wen looked at Yun Chu and said, "Are you saying that Jin Yanxuan has set his sights on Mr. Yuan again?"

Yunchu stretched his neck and looked into the rain outside the tent, and whispered: "I even suspect that the answer Jin Yanzhen didn't get from me has already been received from Li Ji."

"Why do you say that?"

"Why did Yang Jing know that I would definitely capture Gaimou City? Why would Yang Jing prepare an empty city there to wait for us in advance?

We can obviously participate in the battle for Anshi City nearby, so why are we required to travel nine hundred miles to participate in a battle for Bisha City that does not require our participation at all?

Also, although Gao Kan is not a very wise general, he will never bring his personal emotions into battle. How can we only leave things like attacking Shicheng to our army?

I even suspect that as long as we are waiting for Gao Kan in Shicheng, as long as he arrives, we will join forces with Jin Yanzhen to take down Shicheng.

They just didn't expect that we captured Shicheng in the middle of the night, which was beyond their expectations. "

Wen Wen frowned and said, "Since Jin Yanxuan has already established a relationship with Ying Gong and the others, why do he still say such things to you?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Based on my understanding of that weird woman, this is purely a matter of making a fool of myself."

Chapter 2 is delivered, I will continue
