Goguryeo is still in the clear wilderness, but this time what makes the old man in Liaodong a little puzzled is that the Han camp is like a stone made of iron, either standing still, or moving like a snail.

"Governor."

Zhang Liqing entered the camp tent, and after saluting, he said unhurriedly, "'Heishui Yicong' has returned." ”

"Hmm."

In response, Zhang Gongjin, who put down the volume of "Sun Tzu" in his hand, nodded, "After collecting two hundred stone millets, the Su people led the way and went around to the eastern suburbs of Fuyu City." There were about 2,000 people, two hundred of them were old and weak, and most of the rest were women and children, and the young and strong probably went to the city. ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Gongjin was still unhurried, and after getting up, he fanned the copper teapot on the coal stove, "Throw the dirty work to the Su Mo people to do." ”

"Don't worry, your subordinates understand."

"Go ahead."

"Yes, Governor."

The spring flood does not only appear in Chang'an, which is surrounded by eight rivers, but every river in Datang will usher in challenges in late winter and early spring, and then challenge until the rainy season, and then challenge until the end of summer.

China's rivers will only be in peace after autumn. And even in winter, the flooding of the Northland River is enough to make all the merchants and travelers despair.

This is true in the north, and the same is true in the northeast of Yingzhou.

Raole water rose sharply, and Buyeo City, as the northern royal city of Goguryeo, although it has only been in hand for 70 years, but it is named after the nation, which shows its importance. It's just that this important ancestral garden of the people of Buyeyu is surrounded by mud. In some places, the snow is still up to two feet thick, while in others, it is already full of greenery.

The traffic is extremely inconvenient, but for the Dingxiang Governor's Mansion, all this has been familiar in the past few years.

Ploughs, sleds, hairy ponies, hardy Anbei dogs, skins, felt, coal stoves, oil lamps...... For the sake of this war, Li Shimin's request to Zhang Gongjin is not to be said to be obedient, but the accumulation of materials has been very complete and huge as early as a few years ago.

The knights of the Tang Army, whose faces were covered with pure oil, arrived at the camp of the "Su Mo Yicong", and most of the other species of the Yan Yan did not know that they were actually Yan Ya people.

The people who live in the southernmost part of the country, the Tang people say that they are the end of the millet and the end of the millet, then they are the millet and not the others.

The love, hatred, and hatred of the northeastern tribes in the Bohai Sea are a confused account, but it is definitely no problem for the three tribes of Murowei, Yao, and Fuyu to love and kill each other for hundreds of years.

"Someone from the Mantle Department is here!"

Zhang Liqing straightened his hood, the metal helmet had a unique dark tone, and there were traces of arrows on it. Unfortunately, the enemy's arrows were too brittle, and they only left a scratch.

"My lord, what do you command?"

"Take your people, escort the new team of old and weak, go to Rao Leshui, and wait for the dispatch!"

"Master Xie cultivates!"

After giving the order, Zhang Liqing beckoned and rode forward, "Luzheng." ”

Tilting his head, Zhang Liqing whispered something, and the knight nodded slightly, his eyes did not fluctuate at all.

After a while, the knight turned his horse's head, and the five knights followed, and the red and black knight armor of the Tang Army loomed in the snow and mud, and soon disappeared into the dense forest.

Half an hour later, the knight with the usual face returned and whispered a few words beside Zhang Liqing.

"Well, take your brother Wuzhong and rest for two days."

"Xie Luzheng."

A few days later, in the camp of the Goguryeo people, it is said that the Sumo people killed several groups of old and weak, about three or four thousand people.

The legend became more and more powerful, and soon the young Zhuang among the Goguryeo people were resentful and made trouble a few times.

Killed a group of leaders, but there were still people clamoring.

When Zhang Liqing heard this, he was overjoyed, and found the people from the Pangu Department, and after giving some instructions, he heard that the people from the Panggu Department and the Tuoman Department had infighting.

The Tang army sent a team of knights to come over and suppress them, killed a few of the fierce people in the Tuoman, and hung their heads on the camp, which not only quelled the internal strife of the Tatar people, but also made the resentment of the Goguryeo people dissipate.

"Dudu, the water level has risen by two feet, and our boat can go straight from Raoleshui to Liaoshui through the Sancha River."

"Don't worry, news is coming from the south, the Western King City of the Goguryeo people is already in front of you."

Hou Junji is still in a daze, that is, he is consuming with the Goguryeo people. The camp was pushed layer by layer, and the trenches were dug day by day. It doesn't matter if you're rocky, snowy, or muddy, it's not a problem at all. Poly Creation is also unprecedented pleasure, and all kinds of novel ideas have been tried.

In the Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant, after the newly cast iron pipe is assembled with fasteners, and then combined with the iron plate, not only can a tall building car be formed, but more importantly, the Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant has tested it itself, and the counterweight trebuchet can smash and bend the iron plate, but it cannot make the scaffolding collapse.

In fact, collapse is not a problem, because with fastener assembly, a three-foot high building car frame can be built in a quarter of an hour.

The trench dug by Hou Junji's former military camp is only a stone's throw away from the moat of Liaodong City.

Every day before going to bed, the Goguryeo people have to take a look at the camp of the Tang people. Then when I woke up the next day, the Tang people's camp became wider, taller, and more complicated.

The counterweight trebuchet set up more than 20 positions, and Hou Junji couldn't help but be happy when he looked at the polished stone balls in the rear military camp every day.

A large amount of whale oil is placed there in the open air, applied to the face and hands on the weapons and armor, which can well resist this ghost weather.

At the same time, to the west of the Great Wall of the Goguryeos, a simple plank rail was being laid at a rapid pace. Unlike the Jingluo rails, these simple rails are very rough, and they are often piled wherever there are pits, and there are countless warehouses along the road where the wood for restoration is temporarily stacked.

The whole rail, from the west of the Liao River, leads directly to the white wolf water in Yingzhou.

In addition to these, the Khitan people also organized tribal herdsmen, drove oxen and horses to climb plows, and sent the remaining skins directly to the west of the Liao River.

Sticking to the west bank of the Liao River is a temporary tannery. The huge waterwheel has been turning since last year, and although the Liao River is frozen, there is a torrent surging beneath the ice sheet.

Ice was smashed and piled to make a temporary diversion embankment, which the waterwheel could use. Unlike the houses in the Central Plains, the temporary shed has only one roof, which is tilted to the back, and when the north wind is strong, even if the snow falls on the roof, it will fall due to its own weight.

The smell of the shack is terrible, but compared to most places along the Liao River, the makeshift shed with a coal stove is nothing less than a comfortable nest.

A large number of taunts work here, and no matter how ignorant and stupid they may be, after a few years of ravage, they can evolve into consumable tools of production in the handicraft workshop.

The things made here are not for the Tang Army, and some of them are for the people of the Yan Dynasty to keep out the cold. More often than not, it was to wrap the hunted slaves so that they would not freeze to death on the slave carriers.

For the Central Plains Empire, this was a special war. This war has a righteous and indignant reason for going out, and it has absolutely bloody slogans, but it is neither vast nor full of strategies.

Hou Junji, the military department of the Tang Empire, is completely like a stupid melon, let you Goguryeo people all kinds of temptations, feints, deceit, defeat and intimidation, and even don't know the so-called persuasion to surrender, he is grinding slowly. Dig a trench today, build a camp tomorrow, or let the counterweight trebuchet throw a few one-man high stone balls to Liaodong City and smash them to tell the Goguryeo people that he Hou Junji is still alive and has come to fight.
