Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 356
"Jin Youyiwei, Hu Benlang, and Doctor Yin Qing Guanglu."

Yan Pi announced the decree to Luo Cheng at the camp of the Fifth Zuo Army by the Xiaoliao River with a hostile expression on his face. Luo Cheng laughed after listening, "Luo Cheng accepts the decree."

After receiving the imperial decree, Luo Cheng asked in a low voice, "Are you alright, ma'am?"

Yan Bina glared at Luo Cheng with his nostrils, making Luo Cheng feel bored.

"At such a young age, you play tricks like this, do you really think that there is no one in court?"

Luo Cheng smiled and didn't speak.

"I advise you not to play such tricks, it's not good for you." Yan Pi said a few more words, and then told Luo Cheng, "Yu Wenshi is now in charge of accepting the surrender of the new city, so His Majesty specially sent me to the Fifth Left Army to accept the surrender. Shi, I won't leave this time. Luo Cheng, I will keep an eye on you."

Luo Cheng felt a bit of a headache. Originally, this Yan Langzhong got along well with him, but who would have expected that the matter of Yan Niangzi was involved in it, so now Yan Pi is eager to eat his flesh and skin him.

He came to be the envoy, and it is estimated that the days of peace will be rare in the future.

A veteran came to pay a visit.

"Mr. Song pays his respects to the general."

Luo Cheng hastily went to help this veteran with a gray beard. Song Laosheng, who is over fifty, is General Huyalang, and he can be regarded as a general in the court. He was the second general of the left army before, and actually commanded the right army to garrison the Liaohe River. , was later changed to the right forward runner-up, and now he has been transferred to the left fifth runner-up.

When he was stationed on the west bank of Liaohe River before, Luo Cheng brewed and sold wine, and he had a good relationship with Song Laosheng. He brewed wine, and Song Laosheng was also his distributor. It was a pleasure for everyone to pool money together.

Therefore, Song Laosheng came to the Left Fifth Army to protect Yan Pi this time. Although his seniority and age were all above Luo Cheng's, he was inferior to Luo Cheng, and he didn't have any grievances or dissatisfaction.

Compared to Yan Pi who lost his mind because of Luo Chenggong's cabbage at home, Song Laosheng is more concerned about whether he can make a contribution to the Left Five Army this time.

After all, he is old, and he has been stuck in the position of Huya Lang for a long time.

Seeing that Luo Cheng is so young, he has already been promoted to a general of the tiger, and Luo Yi was only a general of the tiger, and now everyone has been promoted to the general of the right guard and the Duke of Yan under Luo Cheng's honor, Song Laosheng is not envious is fake.

"Just now when I entered the camp, I was very pleased to see that our fifth army on the left is strong and sharp."

"Going deep into the tiger's den, how can it be done without proper equipment."

"Hahaha!" The two laughed loudly.

Angrily, Yan Pi flicked his sleeves and left.

Luo Cheng scratched his head, ignored him, and pulled Song Laosheng to sit down.

"Drink tea?"

"Drinking tea is so boring, drink, drink some of the Longmen Flying Generals you brewed. Since you crossed the river, the wine business has also stopped. Life is not as refreshing as before. Not to mention the money is gone, even this wine is worth it." You don't have to drink it up."

Luo Cheng asked someone to fetch a bottle of white wine and poured some for Song Laosheng.

"On the march, don't drink too much."

Song Laosheng picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp. He still clicked his tongue after drinking it, and the aftertaste was so refreshing.

"Okay, just drink this cup."

Putting down his glass, Song Laosheng asked about military affairs.

As the second general, he is the deputy of an army. Not only does he have the position of assisting in command, but he also has to divide and lead the troops according to the situation at any time.

"I crossed the river all the way, ran for [-] miles, and passed through the Goguryeo city for more than ten years, but it was very easy. Along the way, the Goguryeo castle had already been planted with our Sui flags such as Xuanju, Cangyan, and Nansu." Speaking of this, He smiled and added a new city, "Our Sui flag has already been planted on the new city."

Luo Cheng smiled, probably a lot of people know the tricks here, but Luo Cheng doesn't care, anyway, the letter of surrender can't be fake, as for the real surrender, that's the business of the people behind.

"Even if the other cities that have not been conquered have not been conquered, they have closed their gates all the way. I brought three hundred riders to protect Yan Langzhong, but no one came to stop them. It seems that they were indeed scared by General Luo. ah."

"In the hundreds of miles around the new city, the Goguryeo people were indeed frightened, and they let us run rampant. I came along the way, and while I was marching, I swept the surrounding area and cleared the fields for them. There were still some Goguryeo people hiding in the area. The countryside has not entered the city, and now, there is no village with people in the wild."

Luo Cheng pointed to a map on the table, "But going forward, the situation is not so good. According to the news sent back from the front compartment, there are more than a hundred mountain cities ahead, and this is the birthplace of the Koguryo Kingdom." Goguryeo's first royal city, Heshenggu City, is located there."

As the first royal city of Koguryo, Heshenggu City was established as the capital for more than [-] years before it was moved away.

700 years ago, Zhu Mong, the son of Yufu King, fled Puyu to the south in order to escape the internal strife and persecution, and established the Koguryo Kingdom with Heshenggu City as the center.

And this Heshenggu City is actually the Wunv Mountain near Hengren, Liaoning in later generations. From here, Goguryeo gradually expanded, and gradually formed the Goguryeo Kingdom centered on Hengren Ji'an.

Later, it developed towards the Yalu River, and finally after more than [-] years, the territory of the Koguryo Kingdom, which covers thousands of miles, was established.

Although Heshenggu City is only the early royal city of Goguryeo, with a small scale, after all, this is their place of dragon prosperity, so the mountain city here is strong and dangerous, guarding the upper reaches of the Hun River.

At the same time, it is also an important passage leading to the inner city of Goguryeo's second royal city, and the inner city was an important center before the Goguryeo people moved their capital to Pyongyang. Even now, it is still a top-level mountain city with a circumference of more than ten miles. , hoarding a large amount of grain and grass.

The domestic city is near the later Ji'an, that is, on the west bank of the upper reaches of the Yalu River.

Luo Cheng pointed to Heshenggu City and Guoguo City, and then pointed to the Yalu River.

"According to His Majesty's will, each of the nine armies going to Pyongyang will gather together on the west bank of the Yalu River, and then go south to attack Pyongyang together. The plan requires us to arrive at the Yalu River before the end of May. From where we are now, to the assembly position, straight line The distance is only more than two hundred miles, but there is no direct road. We have to make a big detour. From here, we must first pass Heshenggu City, then pass through Guoguo City, Wandu City, and then arrive at the Yalu River, and then go along the river. Next, this bend is quite big, at least six hundred miles long."

It was already the beginning of May at this time, and in less than a month, Luo Cheng's Left Fifth Army had to travel through these more than [-] miles alone, especially through the three major city groups.

In particular, the domestic city is still the accompanying capital of one of the three capitals of Goguryeo. This trip is definitely not easy.

"The general meant that we passed by quietly?"

Luo Cheng smiled slightly, "No, we have to pass by in a high-profile manner, and we have to make a gesture of sweeping and attacking the city along the way. It's best to bluff and display more flags. Well, let me also make a few flags of the left three, left four, and two armies. Let's treat it as the three armies passing by."
