: Testing the situation

The king's flag changes at the top of the city!

The Northeast Army carried the power of victory, brought nearly 100,000 troops, and more than 60,000 prisoners to the north. Without a single soldier and a soldier, they took down Jinshan City, which was completely empty.

The people in the city became prisoners of the Sui army in a daze. After leaving the city to work, they were all directly detained into the prisoner camp. It is unknown whether they can return to Jinshan City behind them in their lives.

Although the Sui army stopped a few miles outside Jinshan City, Chen Kefu ordered the entire army to camp on the spot, and no one would be allowed to enter the city without military orders. The clear night sky was full of stars, and the moon in the sky was still half-circular. The moonlight like water poured on the camp, like a layer of silver veil.

The entire camp, the people of the heavy cavalry brigade defended on the periphery, and the soldiers of the heavy infantry brigade defended around the camp. The key parts of the camp were also guarded by the gendarmerie department. Teams of light cavalrymen rode war horses and patroled by from time to time. The entire camp was like an iron barrel, with impeccable defense.

Chen Kefu's central commander's tent was burning several butter headlights, and the wide tent accommodated more than 200 officers, but it was not crowded.

At this time, Chen Kefu sat upright at the top, and more than 200 newly rescued prisoners were all kneeling on the mats on both sides. No one spoke, and there was indescribable peace in the entire tent.

The officers were hesitant and didn't know how to decide, so they turned their attention to Yingyanglang General Zhou Jin. After all, he was the highest in this place and was old.

Seeing everyone's eyes turned, Zhou Jin was also hesitant. Of course, his own idea was to return to the Central Plains immediately. All his relatives and friends thought that they were dead. If they could go back, how happy the family would be. Moreover, he had an unprecedented defeat in Liaodong and had been a slave for more than a year. At this time, he was already a little disgusted with this place in Liaodong.

But he was not ordinary soldiers. Before he was captured, he was also a fifth-rank Ying Yanglang general, and he had always been careful in his mind.

The general of Zuotun Guard Chen Kefu was very kind to them. When he saw these prisoners, he did not slack off or despise them at all. Not only did he rescue them, he also arranged for them to take a bath and eat intimately. Chen Kefu was a third-rank general and a Liaodong Hou. He treated them like this very seriously.

And now Chen Kefu has captured Liaodong City again. As he said before, he defeated Anshi and Bai Yan's troops. Now he has defeated Yuan Taizuo's tens of thousands of troops. He has just captured Jinshan City without bloodshed just now.

It can be said that this general is definitely not a simple person. If he made such great contributions, his future prospects are limitless. Even before he was captured, he, a fifth-rank general, could not afford to offend him, not to mention that he is already a "dead" person now. Chen Kefu is polite, they are still officers. If you are polite, they are just a group of captured defeated people.

The lights in the tent jumped, illuminating Chen Kefu's entire figure very tall.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Jin raised his head and looked at Chen Kefu, who was in charge of the leader, "General, we are protected by His Majesty and rescued by General, and we are able to escape from the tiger's mouth today. But now we have been captured for more than a year and have no idea about the current situation in Liaodong. I wonder if the general can explain it to us?"

He thought for a long time, but still thought that if Liaodong was in danger, he would not plan to stay even if he would offend Chen Kefu. He finally hoped day and night, so he really came to rescue them from his slave status. He was unwilling to do so. He was captured by the Liao people and would never want to think about the days of being a slave.

Chen Kefu smiled. He could see the thoughts of these people at a glance, but he didn't point them out. Although he would not have any major problems if he ordered all the once captured Sui army soldiers to be incorporated into the Northeast Army. However, the effect of doing so would not be too good. Maybe it would cause these people to be resentful.

"In the first month of the ninth year of Daye, Your Majesty conquered the Tian army again, gathered Zhuozhou, recruited the victories and built the ancient city of Liaodong to store military rations. In February, Your Majesty ordered the Minister of Civil Affairs, Fan Zigai and others to assist King Yue Yang Tong to guard the eastern capital Luoyang, and led the army to Huaiyuan Town, western Liaoxi. In June, our army crossed Liaohe and set up an ambush in Liaodong, luring 30,000 troops from Liaodong City out of the city, and was wiped out by a battle. After crossing the river, Your Majesty led a large army to besiege Liaodong City, and ordered Yuwen Shu and General Yang Yichen to lead an army to the east to Pyongyang, and ordered our commander to lead the newly formed a military camp of 3,000 cavalry to go out to Yudao. Our army arrived in Xincheng, and Goguryeo fought with tens of thousands of people, but was defeated by our three thousand elite cavalry and captured. The king of Xincheng Gao Qi was captured and surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. Our army took the opportunity to capture Xincheng and seize countless food and equipment. In this battle, Goguryeo lost 20,000 troops!"

"Pei Renji and four other generals led 100,000 troops to guard Xincheng and captured the three cities of Nansu, Mudi and Cangyan. In this battle, the Liao people lost 10,000 troops!"

"In July, I broke into the military camp and escorted the grain and equipment in Xincheng and the population in Goguryeo City. Back to the Liaodong City camp, Liao general Yizhi Wende led 80,000 noble private soldiers and light cavalry to secretly attack our camp. Our cavalry cracked down on the Liao people's troops in advance, Yu Wenhua and annihilated 3,000 cavalry vans with one thousand soldiers and horses. Our commander led 1,000 heavy cavalry to break through the formation of Yizhi and support Yu Wenshu. By the morning, Pei Renji and General Yuwen Shu each led a large army to attack Yizhi from both sides of Xincheng and Liaodong City, and completely annihilated the Yizhi's troops and horses in one battle. Dozens of cavalry fled back to Pyongyang. All 80,000 soldiers and horses of Yizhi were destroyed!"

"In August, Yang Xuangan rebelled, cut off our army's food and grass, and threatened the Eastern Capital. Your Majesty led a large army back to the Central Plains, and ordered me to break the military camp with 10,000,000 civilians, auxiliary soldiers, and craftsmen to stay. Half a month ago, the general led his men and generals, which had been besieged by Your Majesty, to break through the Liaodong City, which was besieged by Your Majesty. Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, finally jumped into the Daliang River to escape. All 10,000 defenders in Liaodong City were destroyed!"

"A few days after the Liaodong City was broken, the general used Gao Jianwu Seal Letter to forge military orders to lure the clan leader of Gao Yuzhen and Gao Yannian from Baiyan City to assemble more than 20,000 troops and horses from dozens of mountain cities near the two cities to enter Liaodong City, and wiped out more than 10,000 enemies in one battle. Gao Yuzhen, and more than 5,000 Gao Yannian were captured. In this battle, Goguryeo lost another 20,000 troops!"

"Seven days ago, the general also used Gao Jianwu's seal letter to forge military orders to induce Yuan Taizuo to lead Fuyu City, Gaimu City, Jinshan City and dozens of mountain cities around the countryside, and there were 10,000 elite private soldiers of the Yuan clan, 5,000 private soldiers of each tribe, 45,000 slaves of each tribe, and 45,000 young and strong tribes. A total of 80,000 people were ambushed by our army when passing through the Jinshan Canyon, and more than 35,000 soldiers were annihilated. In fact, more than 60,000 prisoners, including Yuan Taizuo and Yuan Gaimu Tong. In this battle, Goguryeo lost another 35,000 troops!"

"Everyone, now Goguryeo has lost 265,000 regular soldiers and private soldiers of various tribes. Everyone, Goguryeo has a population of only about three million, and its permanent soldiers are less than 200,000. Now it has lost 265,000 people in a year. Although more than half of these are private soldiers of various tribes and slave soldiers of major generals, they cannot be underestimated."

"According to my general's judgment, at least 100,000 of these soldiers are elite soldiers of Goguryeo. It can be said that the Liao people have already moved their vitality and damaged the root. Goguryeo is now west of the Little Liao River, except for nearly 80 large and small mountain cities such as Jian'an and Beisha in the lower reaches of the Liao River. The Liao people no longer have their troops in the entire Liaodong. The Liao cities, Xincheng, Anshi, Baiyan, and Jinshan, these big cities have fallen into the hands of our Great Sui Dynasty. The next two big cities that have lost all their troops are like women in brothels, opening up her naked body to us. Within five days, the entire Liao River and the middle reaches will all fall into the hands of our Sui army."

"According to the intelligence analysis obtained from our interrogation, the largest war soldiers in Goguryeo was within 600,000. Now Goguryeo has lost 265,000 people, all of which are young and strong. The cities in Beisha, Jian'an and other cities in the lower reaches of the Liaohe River are estimated to have 30,000 soldiers and horses. Wugu City, which is on the front line of Yalushui, has 20,000 soldiers and horses in the two major cities in China."

"There are 30,000 soldiers and horses in Pyongyang City, and 30,000 soldiers and horses on the Silla border! There are only 110,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Goguryeo, and most of the private soldiers of each tribe have been lost in this battle. There are no tribal lords in the hands of the entire Liaodong line. Only the southern part of Goguryeo is rich and there are many private soldiers. However, among the 80,000 soldiers in the last time, 70,000 were private soldiers of the lords of the southern tribes, so I dare say that the private soldiers in the south will not exceed 30,000."

"Everyone, there are only 140,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Goguryeo are trained troops. Even if the Liao people mobilize now and lose the population of many mountain cities on the front line of the Liao River, they can only mobilize at most 100,000 young and strong. You guys, Beisha, Jian'an is the fortress that the Liao people prevented us from floating seas from Shandong to the east, so the Liao people would not move unless the troops here were absolutely necessary."

"Wugu, the two cities in China, are the last Yalu Water Defense Line of Goguryeo after the Liaohe River defense line, and is the last gateway of the Goguryeo people. If they lose these two cities, the entire Goguryeo will be finished. Now their entire Liaodong line has fallen into our hands, so the Liao people will only increase their troops to these two cities, and will not mobilize troops from these two cities to attack us."
