The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1244 Bad news

"This matter should not be delayed. After a while, the soldiers in the camp will all set off to collect the corpses, pile them together, pour oil on them and burn them directly." Xuan Shijing said: "The corpses rot quickly in summer. , it is easy to breed epidemic diseases, and it is not good for the people of Goguryeo or our army. We still have to drink the water of the Datong River."

"Yes." The lieutenant replied.

Originally, the two armies fought against each other, and after the war each picked up the corpses of their own soldiers, and the other side was not allowed to intervene, but now where can I find those Goguryeo soldiers to collect the corpses of their comrades?He had already run away without a trace, and now this hard work can only fall on Tang Jun's head.

"The army will set off early tomorrow morning, march downstream, and head directly to Pyongyang City. Now the messenger has reported that General Su Dingfang's team has entered the territory of Koguryo. Let's go to Pyongyang City ahead of time and wait for two or three days. Arrived at one place." Xuan Shijing said: "Everyone, next, prepare for this final battle with all your strength, and report to this Marquis as soon as possible."

"Yes!" The people in the camp clapped their hands together.

In the summer, the days become longer and longer, pots are buried in the camp to cook food, and after the soldiers have eaten, it is not completely dark yet, after the soldiers in the camp prepare the torches, they move towards the river. Go, start to converge along the river to deal with the corpses of Goguryeo people.

After Xuan Shijing had dinner, he and Chang Le took a walk along the Datong River. Now the river has gradually returned to normal, but if there is no muddy and washed away mud on both sides, no one would have thought of such a peaceful river. One day, there will be such a great power.

It's man-made.

It wasn't until the moon rose high and the torches were scattered all over the banks of the Datong River that the Tang army soldiers finished disposing of the dead bodies.

"Master Hou, seeing so many corpses of dead Goguryeo people, I think of the war between the Central Plains and Goguryeo decades ago. I heard my father talk about Jingguan when I was a child. Now, time has passed." Chang Le sighed.

"Jingguan? Hehe, how disgusting do people have to be to make Jingguan show off their achievements?" Xuan Shijing said: "After a long time, it will be just dust after all. It is really engraved in people's hearts and wiped away. What can't be lost is humiliation, the Central Plains and Goguryeo have had a long-standing grievance, and the humiliation imposed on the Han people in the Central Plains, Goguryeo has to pay the price after all, and the price is not far away?"

"Destroy the country?" Chang Le asked.

"The destruction of the country is only on the surface. The loss of Goguryeo is nothing more than the fall of a regime. The real devastating blow is these young men who died on the battlefield. They are the foundation of Goguryeo, the foundation of Goguryeo. Today After fighting for several months, we have completely dug up the roots of Goguryeo." Xuan Shijing said: "Isn't this revenge enough?"

After the fall of this year and the winter, it is unknown how many people will die in this land. After years of famine, Goguryeo has already existed like a castle in the air.

In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers in the Tang army's camp began to pack up their things in full swing and began to move out of the camp.

Standing on the edge of the Datong River, this camp fort made entirely of wood is no longer useful, and Xuan Shijing did not order it to be demolished. Anyway, in the future, this is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so it doesn't matter whether it is demolished or not.

5000 people from the camp were allocated to turn around and go to Bozhuo City to deliver food and grass for the army, and the remaining 2 people started to head for Pyongyang City.

In Pyongyang City, 12 troops were stationed 150 miles northeast of Pyongyang City. This made Gao Zang temporarily put down a big stone in his heart. He and Izumi Nanjian were still fighting happily in the middle of the court, but with the soldiers of Bozhuo City , Gao Zang seemed to have confidence.

Gao Zang has an army of 12 outside, but Izumi Nanjian controls the [-] army in Pyongyang, including the guards of the palace. There are more than [-] people in total. Now Gao Zang and Izumi Nanjian are also Evenly matched.

Although Gao Zang has soldiers outside, the water far away cannot quench his thirst. The water is still being collected, so who knows if it is clear or muddy.

At night, the messenger hurriedly entered the palace through the side door and went straight to Gaozang's bedroom.

"Stop, who is it?" Outside Gao Zang's bedroom, the eunuch stopped the messenger.

"My lord, please report to the king about the urgent military situation." The messenger stood outside the hall and said loudly.

"Wait here for a while, the king has already gone to bed, I'll go in and ask."

It was related to the military affairs, the eunuch didn't dare to put it aside, so he could only bite the bullet and walked into Gao Zang's bedroom. Tonight, Gao Zang's concubine was serving in Gao Zang's bedroom. Stop, Gao Zang is fast asleep right now.

The eunuch walked into Gao Zang's bedroom lightly, came to the bed, and shouted softly through layers of curtains.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty? There are messengers outside, saying it's an urgent military situation." The eunuch whispered.

Gao Zang woke up in a daze: "What about the military situation, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, the messenger is waiting outside. It's already midnight. The messenger is in such a hurry to enter the palace to find your majesty. This..."

"Understood, let him wait outside first, Gu will come soon." Gao Zang said impatiently.

"Yes." The eunuch retreated in response, and after going out, he brought the messenger to the main hall next door.

After a long time, Gao Zang came out of the inner hall with a sleepy look, with a simple coat on his body. "

"In the middle of the night, what's the report?" Gao Zang said.

"My lord, the upper reaches of the Datong River were deliberately intercepted to store water, and then the dams were dug. Now, the water is flooding on both sides of the upper reaches of the Datong River, submerging thousands of hectares of fertile land. The scouts searched along the Datong River and found many Soldiers in Bozhuo City scattered towards Pyongyang City. After the scouts checked, it was the Tang army who stored water in the upper reaches, and the water flooded the 12 troops in Bozhuo City. Now the 12 troops, except for fleeing to Pyongyang Except for the soldiers in the city, the rest have all been wiped out."

This news from the messenger instantly frightened Gao Zang's drowsiness away, and Gao Zang woke up.

"What did you say? The 12 troops in Bozhuo City are gone?" Gao Zangfu asked.

"Yes." The messenger replied.

Gao Zang sat paralyzed on the throne, his eyes became blank for a moment, the soldiers and horses of Bozhuo City were already his last hope.Now, even this last hope has been shattered by Tang Jun.

So what kind of person is Xuan Shijing? A mere 12 Liaodong soldiers can beat the 12 soldiers in Bozhuo City?Even if it is a water plan, with [-] soldiers and horses in Bozhuo City, is it possible that even [-] Tang troops can't be defended?
