Where to go

For the Goguryeo soldiers, this time following the Yizhi Wende north is a journey to witness the destruction of the myth of the God of War Ezhi Wende in their hearts. When they first went north, they went north with the excitement of wanting to witness the great victory like Sahu a few years ago.

However, they did not see a great victory, they saw a great defeat, and the generation of Goguryeo military god Yizhi Wende encountered the biggest failure of his life. First, three thousand vanguards were annihilated, but in the end they were defeated by the heavy cavalry equipped with armored cavalry of the Sui army, with soldiers and generals missing, with nearly 30,000 casualties.

After they retreated twenty miles and regained the troops, they divided into two groups to attack the Pojun camp and the two Sui troops who retreated into the valley. The two attacks continued to attack until noon without breaking through the defense line. When the sun rose to the sky, most of the reinforcements of the Sui army finally arrived. Yuwen Shu, the general of the Zuoyi Guard in Liaodong, personally led an army of 100,000 to arrive first.

The commander of the Sui army defeated by Yizhi Wende in the last victory in Sahu was Yuwen Shu. After Yuwen Shu was defeated last time, he was still shackled in front of the emperor and stayed in prison for a while. This time, the enemy was naturally very jealous, especially Yizhi Wende surrounded his son. Yuwen, who had 100,000 soldiers and only more than 20,000 wounded soldiers and Yiwen Zhide, who was with him, was of course merciless and led his troops to charge directly.

The Sui army had been holding on to the city of Liaodong for so long, and they had no choice but to face the city of the strong walls and big, but if they had such a field battle with clear swords and guns, they would have attacked the Goguryeo people who had been defeated by the Pojun camp. As a result, the Goguryeo people were naturally defeated as mountains and were chased by the Sui army for dozens of miles. In the end, Yizhi Wende fled with only more than a thousand cavalry and fled over the Yalu River and was defeated back to Pyongyang City.

Not long after Yuwen Shu arrived in Liaodong City, Pei Renji from Xincheng finally led more than 80,000 troops from the other three cities to launch a one-sided massacre against the 40,000 Goguryeo who were storming the military camp. The 40,000 Goguryeo people were even more unlucky this time. The direction of their retreat was the battlefield in the morning. However, they failed to meet with Yizhi Wende. Yizhi Wende had already fled to Pyongyang. They happened to meet Yuwen Shu who was returning to the army. They killed each other and killed them. All of the 40,000 people died in Liaodong.

The total population of Goguryeo is only more than 2 million and 3 million, and the national army is only about 300,000. However, Goguryeo is a semi-nomadic regime, and can basically achieve the whole country's soldiers, with a maximum of 600,000 troops. However, after many years of war with the Sui army, the Goguryeo people now have only about 300,000 soldiers in the new city. This time, they lost 20,000 troops in the new city, and this member Yizhi Wende lost another 80,000 troops. It can be said that this was the last defeat for Goguryeo. The mobile power of Goguryeo was basically eaten up in one fell swoop, and now they can only passively guard the major cities.

For the Sui Dynasty, this was also the first biggest victory for the Sui army since the three expeditions of Goryeo. The three expeditions of Goryeo had millions of casualties and finally made decisive progress. As long as the Sui army took advantage of the victory and had one or two more victories, Goguryeo was just around the corner.

In this great victory, Pojunying was the most dazzling one. First, the Xincheng Victory, and finally, the heavy cavalry of Pojunying defeated the Wende army of Yizhi. In the end, Pojunying also had two thousand soldiers and more than ten thousand civilians withdrew the impact of 40,000 Goguryeo and made great contributions to the Sui army's final victory.

Even if someone wants to suppress such great achievements, they can't be suppressed. The Pei family relied on their activities among the two favored ministers in the court, and finally managed to block the dazzling military achievements of the military camp. Especially in the report submitted by Chen Kefu to His Majesty, he boasted Yu Wen and this scum, and added a lot of contributions to Yu Wen and Gao Liang and others. After counting the Dalai who defeated the tens of thousands of troops of Yizhi Wende, Yuwen gave all his best help to Chen Kefu, who is so good at being a human being. With the full efforts of Yuwen Shu, the first favorite minister in front of the emperor, Chen Kefu and others' contributions were basically nailed on the board and no one could cover them up.

Regarding this great contribution, all the major families, Yuwen Gai, Pei Gai, Li Gai, Xiao Gai and other major families all made every effort to make their own efforts and desperately gain benefits for their families. As for what alliances and concessions the major families made in the middle, Chen Kefu didn't know, and he didn't want to know. After returning to Liaodong City, Chen Kefu asked the emperor to supplement the casualties and missing soldiers for the Pojun camp.

Yang Guang was very interested in Chen Ke's defeat of tens of thousands of Goguryeo cavalry with one thousand heavy cavalry. After learning that Chen Kefu had two thousand armored cavalry equipment, Yang Guang waved his hand and drew elite cavalry from each army into the Pojun camp, increasing the number of soldiers in the Pojun camp led by Chen Kefu to 10,000, and 3,000 elite soldiers were drawn from them to form heavy cavalry, and the others were temporarily light cavalry.

Although the major forces in the North Korea are still competing for the merits of this victory, Chen Kefu devoted all his energy to the integration training of these newly added more than 7,000 soldiers. In order to integrate these 10,000 people faster, Chen Kefu directly disrupted more than 7,000 new soldiers and the original 2,000 veterans of the Pojun Barracks. He incorporated all veterans of the Pojun Barracks and let many veterans of the Pojun Barracks serve as team leader, captain and other lower positions, in order to integrate this force into an elite cavalry unit like the old Pojun Barracks as soon as possible.

The three thousand heavy cavalry were divided into the fifteenth regiment, and a team of fifty men were formed to train, divided into sixty squads. All the generals from top to bottom were all the generals of the old Pojun camp. The old Pojun camp soldiers accounted for one-third of the three thousand people. This was the real ace unit built by Chen Kefu. In this duel with the Goguryeo Cavalry, Chen Kefu realized that although heavy cavalry had too many shortcomings and restrictions, the role that could be achieved by putting heavy cavalry into the battlefield at the right time will be decisive. Such a unit is a strategic unit. If it is not available, it will achieve the role of determining the results of the battlefield as soon as it is released. For such a unit, of course, he spent all his energy to form this heavy cavalry unit. Anyway, he is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and everyone will give whatever he wants.

As for the other 7,000 light cavalry, Chen Kefu also scattered all the remaining nearly 2,000 soldiers of the Pojun camp. From the grassroots to the middle and middle upper levels, all were poor families from poor families who were born in poor families. Although those aristocratic families had a lot of doubts about this, Chen Kefu's behavior was fully supported by Yang Guang. For Yang Guang, Chen Kefu is now the imperial guard around him. Of course, he does not want to let those noble families mix such military forces. If all the generals from poor families come to serve as his imperial guards, it would make him feel much more at ease.

"Sir, all 10,000 soldiers have gathered at the school site. Please go to the school to review." The old man Li Benlei is in a very good mood recently. In his opinion, after this battle, the destruction of Goguryeo is just around the corner, and he can finally avenge his family and national hatred.

Chen Kefu smiled, "My grandfather is in great spirits recently. Now I have handed over all the training work of these 7,000 light cavalrymen to you. I have to rely on the old grandfather to do more in the future."

"My lord is joking. As long as I work hard to conquer Goguryeo, even if I am exhausted, I will be willing to do so. However, Ms., now our Pojun Camp has increased to 10,000 people at once, and it is still so elite. I guess after this reward on merit, many people will definitely be placed in. Even though there are many people in the Pojun Camp, it may not necessarily belong to our commander."

Chen Kefu nodded. Now he nominally belongs to the Zuo Beisen Mansion among the four prefectures, exclusively to the Emperor's Guard. However, the Zuo Beisen Mansion is the imperial guard around the emperor, so the emperor naturally cannot let his Pojun Camp become his own Pojun Camp. At that time, he will definitely send some generals of similar rank to Chen Kefu to divide his power. Such things are the ones he most unwilling to accept. If he can't even command the Pojun Camp, how can he gain a foothold in this troubled times?

"Let's talk about this matter then. We can only deal with this by chance. If we perform too much, it will be a big deal if Pei Fang and others seize the blame." Chen Kefu never regarded him as an outsider for Mr. Li Benlei. Chen Kefu also said these a bit of a rebellious sentence.

"Sir, this time, I will definitely be the first in terms of merit. Now I am from the third rank, at least I can be promoted to a real position from the third rank. If possible, I would be better off as a general in the twelve guards, which would be much better than being in the Zuo Beisen Mansion." Old Master Li Benlei said softly. The four palaces are all guards who have always guarded the emperor, and the twelve guards take turns to guard the capital. Therefore, it is best to stay away from a core political circle like Chen Kefu, who has no identity background.

Chen Kefu also agreed with this. As far as he knew, the peasant uprising in the Central Plains has caused chaos in the world. Even if the Sui army defeated Goguryeo this time, it would not have much effect on the decay of the Central Plains. The Sui Dynasty was about to fall. At this time, he already had some bargaining chips in his hand, and he was unwilling to play with Yang Guang no matter what. Now is a time for a choice. Only by staying away from the core political circle of the Sui Dynasty, can he be able to do what he wants.

"This time I look at the situation of Goguryeo. Although our army has won a great victory, after this defeat, the Goguryeo people will stick to the city. In the future, we will probably have no chance to fight with the Goguryeo people in the future. If we continue to confront this, we will not last long. If the army returns to the court, I will ask His Majesty to stay in Liaodong. Now we have also captured several cities in Liaodong. At that time, we will stay here much better than returning to the court."

The old man thought for a while and nodded, "Although it is a little dangerous to stay in Liaodong, it is also a good way. Liaodong is bitter and cold. It is estimated that few generals from aristocratic families are willing to stay. Then, the adults will have a great chance of staying under the Yuwen activities."
