On a field sixty miles from the city of Pyongyang.

Yu Wenshu, Yu Zhongwen and other generals of the Eighth Army all looked like they were winning.

Nearly 270,000 troops, more than 10 miles of company camps.

"Report, outside the camp, someone who claims to be the general of Goguryeo, Ulzhi Wendeok, came to see him, saying that he wanted to come and ask for peace."

"Hahaha, this Ezhi Wende, he ran faster than a rabbit when he started a fight, I thought he could run anywhere, but he couldn't run. Haha, let him come and see him. ”

Yuwen Shu was triumphant.

A moment later.

A middle-aged man in a robe came in, and as soon as he entered the tent, he bowed to the generals and saluted the generals, and even said that he would meet the generals of the Heavenly Empire.

"You're Etoji Wende?"

Yu Zhongwen squinted at this man, he was dressed in a robe and did not wear a sword, looking more like a Confucian crown than a general.

The Yizhi smiled flatteringly, "Back to the general's words, it is the young general of the lower country, Yizhi Wende, and my country's monarchs and ministers are afraid of the prestige of the Heavenly Empire, and they are afraid. My king has specially ordered me to ask for peace, and I hope that the general of the kingdom of heaven will open the net and let us go. ”

The generals of Xin Shixiong laughed, and looked down on Yizhi Wende's appearance very much, feeling that it was really ugly and undignified.

"Since you are asking for surrender, why didn't Gao Yuan come to ask for surrender in person?"

Eulji said, "My king is preparing wine, meat, money and silk in Pyongyang City, in case the heavenly soldiers enter the city to catch the wind and wash the dust. As he spoke, Yizhi handed over a drop table, but it was written by Gao Yuan himself.

The first sentence of opening is 'Gao Yuan, the minister of Liaodong dung', how low and how low the posture is, but Yu Zhongwen saw it but was unmoved, you know, in the eighteenth year of the emperor's opening, Emperor Wen sent 300,000 troops to conquer Liao, in response to Goguryeo's attack on Yingzhou in Liaoxi, although later for various reasons, the 300,000 army had been almost lost before it arrived in Liaodong, but that time Gao Yuan was also immediately on the table, and he also claimed to be the minister of Liaodong dung.

Everyone knows that Gao Yuan's plea is just a show, and Yu Zhongwen doesn't believe it at all.

"Come on, take down this thief for me, push it out and behead it." Yu Zhongwen shouted.

Yizhi Wende's face changed drastically, but he quickly calmed down, "General, the little one is sincere and sincere to come down on behalf of the king of my family, why do you want to kill the little one." ”

Yu Zhongwen sneered.

"Before the commander set out for the expedition, he said goodbye to His Majesty. His Majesty once granted me a secret edict, and if I saw Gao Yuan and Wende, I would capture and behead him. Come on, take it down for me, cut it down. ”

"Wronged, I'm really sincere to come down."

Over there, Shangshu Youcheng and the Ninth Army's consolation envoy Liu Shilong shouted loudly, "Stop! ”

"Liu Youcheng, what do you mean?"

Liu Shilong flicked his sleeves, "This official is the consolation envoy of the Ninth Army personally authorized by His Majesty, and is responsible for all matters such as comforting and surrendering." Since Wende came to surrender on behalf of Gao Yuan, then we should naturally accept and allow him, how can there be a reason to fight back? ”

Yu Zhongwen said unceremoniously, "This handsome has a secret edict from the emperor. ”

"What about the edict, can you take a look?"

"Since it is a secret edict, of course it is only a verbal edict, so there is no reason to fall on paper."

"Without an explicit edict, how can I believe you and know that you are not killing for the sake of merit?" Liu Shilong didn't give an inch.

Yu Zhongwen and Liu Shilong stood up and refused to give in.

One was the general of the First Army on the Right and the commander of the Fourth Army on the Right Wing, and the other was the consolation envoy of the Ninth Army, but it was a stalemate for a while.

At this time, Liu Shilong turned his head to look at Yuwenshu, "Marshal Yuwen, please come and preside." ”

Yu Wenshu looked at Liu Shilong, and then at Yu Zhongwen, and smiled.

"Yu Shuai, since Liu Youcheng is a comforter, it is better to leave this matter of appeasement to him. As the commander of the army, I only need to lead the troops to fight, and since the king of Goguryeo is willing to surrender, it is a good thing. ”

Yu Zhongwen despised Yu Wenshu in his heart, knowing that this old thief was just trying to suppress him everywhere.

"Brother Yuwen, I am under the emperor's secret edict."

"But you can't get the edict, and you can't verify it."

With the support of Yuwenshu, Liu Shilong was even more proud, he accepted the letter of surrender of Gao Yuan sent by Eulzhi Wende, and then warmly entertained him, chatted for a long time, and finally made an appointment to hold a surrender ceremony at the west gate of Pyongyang City three days later, and then let Eulzhi Wende leave.

When Yizhi Wende was in the camp, he looked right and right, pretending to say that he wanted to have a good witness of the majesty of the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Empire, but in fact, he was secretly looking at the details of the Sui army.

When he was sent out of the camp by Liu Shilong, he rode back on his horse and galloped back.

On the way, Yizhi's proud opponent said, "I see that the Sui army has no surplus food, people are hungry and tired, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow, especially the three of Yu Wenshu, Yu Zhongwen, and Liu Shilong are still in harmony, this is a God-given opportunity." The time is ripe to close the net. ”

Over there.

It had only been half a day since he left the camp, and a small cavalry team arrived.

"Who's coming?"

"We are from the Fifth Army of the Left, and we came here on the orders of General Luo, and there is an urgent military situation to pass on to the commander."

The guards took them into the camp, and the information was quickly delivered to Yu Zhongwen.

After Yu Zhongwen saw the information sent by Luo Cheng, he slapped his thigh and said with great regret, "Sure enough, that cunning Yizhi Wende, hurry up and chase after it." ”

Over there, Yu Wenshu and Liu Shilong also regretted it a little after reading the letter that Zhongwen took.

"Can Yu Shuai guarantee that Luo Cheng's words are true?"

Yu Wenshu is still questioning.

"If Luo Cheng has no evidence, how dare he say so? Hurry up and chase Ulchi back. ”

At this time, Liu Shilong was also a little panicked, "Okay, I hope I can catch up, catch up with him, and say that there are still some specific things to discuss, and ask him to come back and discuss again." ”

A team of light horsemen and horses whipped in pursuit.

chased until the city of Pyongyang, and finally caught up with Eulji Moondeok.

When they passed on the message to Eulji Moondeok, Ulji Moondeok smiled and said, "Oh, I've already arrived in Pyongyang, if only you caught up sooner, now I have to go to the king first." A few people went back to tell Yuwen Dashuai, Yu Dashuai, and Ambassador Liu, and said that they were invited to come directly to Pyongyang, and then they would just say it to their faces. ”

Several people looked at Pyongyang City behind Eulji, and had no choice but to turn around and return to their lives.

In the camp, when the people heard that Ulchi would not return, they had to remain silent.

"What now?" One asked.

Yu Zhongwen said a little angrily, "What else can I do, I let go of Yizhi Wende in vain, the reality of our camp has still been peeped into by Yizhi, and now we can only set up camp here for the time being according to what Luo Cheng said, and wait for Luo Cheng to lead his troops to come and converge." ”

But Yu Wenshu and Liu Shilong were a little annoyed and angry after being played.

"We have a few days of food and grass left, sit here and wait? When will it be, who knows when Luo Cheng will come, even if Luo Cheng comes, but we have no food and grass, what is the use? If you want me to say, just take advantage of the fact that there is still food and grass and go directly to the city of Pyongyang, and maybe there is still a chance to capture the city of Pyongyang in one fell swoop. ”

Yu Zhongwen objected.

But Liu Shilong supported Yu Wenshu, and several of the other generals felt that it was not a matter to sit and wait, so in the end, Yu Wenshu and others were more than a few, and decided to continue to move forward and attack the city under Pyongyang.
