Climbing up a mountain, Li Po's eyes suddenly lit up.
The river stretches across the distance like a jade belt. On the other side, there are vast jungles and undulating mountains. After crossing the river, it can be said to have entered the territory of Liaodong.
Although Liaodong now belongs to the territory of Goguryeo just like here, the feeling is different.
After all, no matter before or after, Liaodong was the inherent territory of the Central Plains Empire, and now it is just a secret residence for Goguryeo.
Of course, the land on the other side is a bit more ferocious than here during the changes of wind and rain, but after crossing the river, the rest may be on the road.
Next to Li Po, suppressed cheers quickly sounded.
It is completely understandable that these ragged Sui soldiers were in a state of agitation as they survived the disaster.
Even Li Po himself couldn't help but want to yell twice, let alone others.
The pursuit of the Goguryeo people has completely disappeared during these two days of travel. Obviously, the Goguryeo people are also covered with scars after this battle, and they finally began to think about how to go back to lick their wounds.
This was thanks to Li Po and others, because the Sa River dam was broken and could not flood the Sui army. Therefore, the resistance of the Sui army was much more violent.
In the battle of Baishishan, although the Goguryeo people almost wiped out Xue Shixiong's tribe, they suffered heavy losses again after encircling and annihilating Xin Shixiong's tribe.
Therefore, the Goguryeo people's pursuit almost stopped when they reached Baishi Mountain. After that, they followed the Sui army's defeat and slowly moved forward, just like cleaning the battlefield.
But after cheering, people quickly fell silent.
In the distance there is not only the river, but also countless black spots, which are slowly moving towards the river. They are the retreating Sui army soldiers.
Even though they were still far away and their vision was a little blurry, they all knew what the black dots that kept standing still meant.
……………………
As the saying goes, Wangshan ran to death. More than a thousand people walked out of the forest and walked for two days before reaching the bank of the river.
At this time, people were no longer willing to speak.
It's so tragic. In this section of the journey, the bones of Sui soldiers can be seen everywhere along the road.
Those who were still marching hard were reduced to skin and bones. Some fell to the ground as they walked and could no longer stand up.
Most of those who can escape here belong to the vanguard of the army, and the rearguard of the army behind them. Those who can catch up are extremely rare.
More than a thousand people passed this section of the journey quickly, as if they were being chased.
They don't want to see such a tragic situation, and they don't care about helping those in need, because they are on the run, and any pity or sympathy will put themselves and others in danger.
Because there is still an extremely long and difficult journey waiting for them.
At this time, human selfish nature seems to have taken over.
In fact, even if these defeated troops crossed the river, they would not be able to return to the Sui Dynasty alive. They would soon be swallowed up by the wind and snow in Liaodong.
Liaodong has now begun to enter winter. When it snows heavily, Liaodong takes on a different ferocious look.
The pontoon bridge on the river is still there, but the Wei Wensheng Department guarding the pontoon bridge has disappeared.
It is said that the army of more than 300,000 people retreated all the way, and when they crossed the river, only a few thousand people were left, and only Wei Wensheng's army was the only one left.
This sounds a bit contradictory. Wei Wensheng's department is one of the nine armies, with more than 30,000 people.
But what he said is actually very clear. Only a few thousand of the army that crossed the river returned to Liaodong City alive. Wei Wensheng's troops did not enter the hinterland of Goguryeo, so they were not harmed.
The only advantage Wei Wensheng had was that Wei Wensheng was old enough, over seventy years old, and had high prestige. Yu Wenshu, Yu Zhongwen and others were all juniors in front of him.
Therefore, he can stay behind the army and guard the pontoon for the army.
More than a thousand people passed the pontoon, and no one was willing to look back.
Because the sky in the south was glowing red, countless Sui soldiers were buried in the not-so-vast mountains and forests, and countless innocent souls were hovering there.
Mountains of bones and rivers of blood.
There is not even one out of ten of the 300,000-strong army.
The two generals Yu Wenshu and Yu Zhongwen ran very fast. Later people said that these two led their troops to retreat more than 400 miles in one day and one night.
It's all nonsense. It was a good result of the two generals running out with their cavalry. If the hungry Sui soldiers could run so well, how could they turn around and fight Goguryeo?
In fact, these two men almost completely abandoned the army and ran back to the north bank of the river with their guards and cronies.
If Wei Wensheng hadn't categorically rejected the two men's proposal to burn the pontoon bridge to thwart the pursuing troops, Li Po and others would have had to wait until the weather cooled down and the river froze before crossing the river.
The reason why the two defeated generals made this suggestion was naturally that they were afraid of being blamed for the general fleeing first and ignoring the army. They would rather destroy the corpses and bury the entire army on the south bank of the river.
……………………
After crossing the river and walking more than ten miles, the sky was getting dark and more than a thousand people were sleeping in the wild.
As the night grew darker, faint cries finally came from the camp. The cries vented not only the condolences for the deceased comrades, the concern for their hometown, but also the joy of surviving the disaster.
In the darkness, Li Po frowned as he sat on the ground.
The cry sounded for the first time, and he knew exactly what it meant. It meant that people had relaxed.
But there is still a long way to go. Do you really think that you will be safe along the way?
Is the food carried by more than a thousand people enough to reach Liaodong City?
Even if we return to Liaodong City, will we still see the main force of the Sui army?
Winter is coming soon. Is winter here a joke?
Li Po closed his eyes in frustration.
But there were still people who didn't want him to be clean. A guy came over and sat down next to him unceremoniously, nagging sadly, "You shouldn't have saved me. There are just a dozen or so little bastards. I need to use the knife."
, just kill them all, you see, I owe you a favor now, it’s too troublesome."
"Master said it well. It's the hardest thing to repay someone's kindness. If you owe someone a life, be a good boy, and you'll have to die in return."
"This rule is too bad. Tell me, do you have any enemies? I will kill them for you. The officer had better be bigger, otherwise the portion will not be heavy..."
Li Po turned over and tried to plug his ears. He knew a few days ago that what he picked up was not a treasure, but an enemy.
Once he regained his energy, Li Po's ears were never pure again.
The image of a hero who killed people like grass and laughed at life and death quickly collapsed. He is very different from Huang You. Huang You is the most rude, and you often can't help but beat him up.
But this one is really nagging like an old lady. Now Cheng Zhijie no longer wants to get close to this fellow. He can't beat you. Listening to him talk is very annoying, so he can only hide and leave.
Li Po's majesty also lost its effect in front of this man.
However, this melancholic and nagging Shandong swordsman, well, let’s call him a swordsman for now, because according to him, the sword is better. Unfortunately, those who carry swords in the army are all literate guys. Obviously
He failed, so he used the saber as a sword.
Therefore, he should be called a swordsman.
Among the knights of the Sui Dynasty, they were the most legendary group.
The man began to say that there was no one at home, but people who were too nagging were generally not strict with their words. Soon Li Po knew from his words that it was not that there was no one at home, there were still many relatives, but there were no
People are willing to pay attention to him.
This man has not been involved in industry since he was a child, and he has been playing martial arts. It is said that no one within a hundred miles of his hometown is his opponent, and his reputation is quite famous.
At this point, you can probably understand that this person is very aggressive and fierce, and is hated by his family. If he goes one step further, it will be a matter of time before he becomes a gangster.
If he were still in Shandong now, he might have simply joined a gang.
However, in the seventh year of Daye's reign, he was known by the county captain because of his reputation, so he was recruited as an attendant and guard.
When he followed the army to a place like Liaodong, which was not under God's control, this guy was out of control, and he himself could not even count the number of people who had died under his sword so far.
He only knows how to kill people and nothing else. A person who is talented but focused is very scary.
So, in general, this is a very annoying, but also very, very dangerous guy.
"Why don't you take a look at our general? He's quite good. How about becoming her bodyguard as a way of repaying your kindness?" Li Po said in a helpless voice.
The man simply shook his head, hummed twice and said: "A woman...well, I don't owe her anything, I owe you."
Well, saving one life would make Li Po even want to go back in time and let this guy die in front of him. This would be considered a strange thing.
But with a flash of inspiration, Li Po sat up and his tone was no longer perfunctory, "Let's talk about repaying a favor... Well, I have a girl..."
Upon hearing this, this man shook his head even faster. Before Li Po could finish speaking, he said hurriedly: "Don't think about marrying your sister to me. I have many enemies. I don't want to be burdened with a family. Let's find another one. Change it."
One, I definitely won’t agree to this.”
Li Poyi has a black line on his forehead. You feel so damn good about yourself. With today and no tomorrow like you, whoever wants to be your wife will have to kneel down in the end.
I waved my hand and wanted to slap this man, but just like before, the man raised his hand and quickly grabbed Li Po's wrist accurately.
The man immediately retracted his hand and said humbly, "Don't be angry, am I not thinking about your sister?"
Li Po slapped him on the head without hesitation, and interrupted his words, "My sister is only twelve years old, and you really want to marry her... In this case, follow me back to Mayi County and teach my sister
How about we use the skill of the sword to settle things down?"
