The horn whimper.

Under dusk, the Sui army retreated from the city of Liaodong again like a tide.

Under the city, there was a corpse all over the ground.

Emperor Yang Guang frowned and looked impatient.

"Can a new city be opened and surrender?" the emperor asked.

Pei Shiju, who took over as Minister of War, whispered, "There is no news yet. Yang Wanchun has been reluctant to open the city and surrender, but I am afraid he will not surrender at all."

"Where is Li Yuan, what is this mother-in-law doing? Why has he not been able to enter the new city for a month? Didn't he say that there are only 5,000 defenders in the new city?"

Pei Shiju helped Li Yuan defend himself, "There are only three hundred people around Li Weiwei."

"How many more people do he need? Do he need thousands of troops? Incompetent, useless, he sent an order to dismiss Li Yuan's position as the Minister of the Weiwei Temple, and transferred to the young supervisor in the hall, telling Li Yuan that I will give him three more days. If he still cannot enter the new city in three days, then he will never come back to see me."

"Your Majesty, now Yang Wanchun is obviously unwilling to surrender. Why would you please transfer Luo Yi and Li Jing to turn back and attack the new city first?"

"I have sent Li Jing north to attack Jinshan City, and sent Luo Cheng to attack Baiyan City. Now let them attack Xincheng again. Wouldn't the order be changed every day?"

"But if you don't send a general, it's impossible for Li Yuan to capture the new city just by opening his mouth."

"Send Guo Yan to lead the two armies of the Imperial Camp to attack the new city." Yang Guang thought for a while and said. Although the Liaodong City could not be captured for a long time, the six armies of the Imperial Camp were surrounded by the Liaodong City, but they did not have any great effect. It would be better to divide the troops to attack the new city.

"How is the progress of the Nine Army?"

Yang Guang asked again.

Pei Shiju knew that the emperor was in a bad mood now, so he quickly told him good news first.

"Your Majesty, on the side of the Ninth Army, the left five army was led by Luo Cheng. At present, they have advanced hundreds of miles eastward and have arrived at the city of Heshenggu. Luo Cheng went to the city and sent people to challenge the city. The Goguryeo people hung high and no battle signs, and the Yingcheng defended themselves and did not go out to fight. Luo Cheng sent people to sweep the surrounding area around, captured thousands of Goguryeo people, and beheaded them under the city. The Goguryeo people were angry and went out of the city to attack. Luo Cheng fought a lot of troops, annihilated more than a thousand enemies in one battle, and almost took the opportunity to capture Heshenggu City. After this battle, the Goguryeo people did not dare to fight anymore, so they closed the city gates."

"Luo Cheng fought under the city for three days, and then led his entire army to pass by the city. Now Luo Cheng has returned, and his troops have arrived at the domestic city. Due to the defeat of Heshenggu City, the defenders of the domestic city have more than 10,000 troops in the city, but they dare not leave the city to fight. After three days of Luo Cheng fight, he continued to go southeast and has arrived at the Yalu River."

Upon hearing this news, the emperor was indeed very energetic.

"It turns out that Luo Cheng is the bravest and most gratifying to me. Unfortunately, He Shenggu and the Goguryeo thieves in the domestic city are too cowardly. Otherwise, if they go out of the city and fight, Luo Cheng will take the opportunity to seize the city. What a pity."

The emperor was excited and danced. During this period of Liaodong siege, he was exhausted. He originally brought the elders from various places to watch the battle in order to let them see the powerful combat power of the Great Sui Dynasty, but they saw that the elite Sui army lost their troops at the Liaodong city and lost their troops at the city without any achievements.

"Where are Yu Wen Shu and Yu Zhongwen, where are they?"

"Luo Chengdu has arrived at the Yalu River. Why haven't they arrived yet? Their route is much closer than Luo Cheng."

Pei Shiju told the emperor that the three armies led by Yuwen Shu are now at Wugu City, while Yu Zhongwen leads the three armies at Shicheng, and two other armies are blocked in Baisha City, only two or three hundred miles away from Yalu River, but it has been unable to advance an inch for many days.

The emperor's face turned from sunny to dark.

"It's the end of May soon. What are they waiting for? Even if there are sea of ​​swords and fires in front of me, I have to go there. Luo Chengdu has arrived at the meeting point, why can't they get through?"

Su Wei said below, "I guess the generals have not seen Liaodong, Xincheng, Anshi, and Beisha cities, so they are worried that the retreat will be unstable, so they slow down."

"My previous decree has been clearly stated. When the Yalu River is shallow at the end of May, the nine troops crossed the river and attacked Pyongyang. Now it is almost the end of the month, but they are stopping one or two hundred miles away. Do they want to resist the order?"

"Tell me the order Yuwen Shu, Yu Zhongwen and others to make them rush to the Yalu River immediately. Before the first day of June, before the army on the Yalu River, the general was dismissed from his post on the spot and took him back to Liaodong and handed over to me for disposal, and the general was taken over by Asia."

When the emperor starts to get angry, that's not ordinary.

"What's the news on the other side of Hailu?"

"Return to your Majesty, General Hu'er, the Navy Camp in Donglai County came to the return of General Hu'er. The fleet is about to set off. The first batch of 40,000 sailors and ships escorted the three armies to 100,000 people from the sea to cross the sea. The fleet will cross the Bohai Sea along the Miaodao Islands, arrive at the Liaodong Peninsula, and then continue sailing along the Liaodong coast. Finally, it will reach the Beishui River Estuary, and lead the fleet directly to the vicinity of Pyongyang from the estuary, and wait for the nine armies to join and attack the Pyongyang City together."

“How long will it take to arrive?”

"We will reach the mouth of the Beishui River in about late June."

"So, the first batch of naval troops who came to Hu'er will arrive at Pyongyang City in more than half a month? Yuwen Shu and the others have not yet reached the mouth of the Yalu River, they are bastards."

At this time, Yang Guang even wanted to send someone to dismiss Yuwen Shu directly.

"Send someone to take my sword to Yuwen Shu, Yu Zhongwen hesitated and directly sentenced to death."

"These two bastards, I had known that I should have let Luo Cheng lead the Ninth Army."

"Your Majesty, you will never be able to do anything. Luo Cheng is not enough to command the nine armies in terms of age, qualifications, or prestige. If he is the commander, there will be a great chaos." Pei Shiju hurriedly dissuaded.

Not to mention the commander of the Nine Army, even now serving as the general of the Left Five Army, I don’t know how many people are dissatisfied.

In order to express his determination to take over Liaodong City, Yang Guang ordered the construction of a city near Liaodong City, called Liuhe City, which was the emperor's temporary palace. The people followed him in this city. The emperor personally directed the battle of siege. Every day, the generals' siege would ask the emperor for instructions and report to the emperor.

In order to succeed as soon as possible, Yang Guang left only 100,000 troops under the Liaodong City to continue to siege, and then sent tens of thousands of troops to sweep the nearby fortress mountain city, in order to cut off the wings of Liaodong City first.

The emperor's decree was passed to the generals of Yuwen Shu.

"General, what should I do now?"

Yuwen Shu was also very troubled. He originally wanted to wait until Liaodong City was taken before leaving. Or Liaodong City could not be taken, then the emperor might change his will and let them go back.

But who would have thought that such an intention would come to await?

"Damn it, it's just him Luo Chengneng. Since he is so capable, why didn't Luo Cheng lead the Left Five Army to directly attack Pyongyang City?"

After scolding, Yuwen Shu had to issue an order in the face of the sword sent by the emperor, she led to a command, to draw the camp and send troops to the Yalu River.
