"This matter must not be delayed, after a while, the soldiers in the camp will finish eating, and all set off to collect those corpses, pile them together, pour oil and burn them directly." Xuan Shijing said: "In the summer, the corpses decay quickly, and it is easy to breed epidemics, which is not good for the people of Goguryeo or our army, and we still have to drink the water of the Datong River." ”

"Yes." The adjutant replied.

Originally, the two armies faced each other, and after the war, each picked up the corpses of its own soldiers, and the other party was not allowed to intervene, but now where to find those Goguryeo soldiers to collect the corpses of their comrades? It's long gone, and now this drudgery can only fall on the head of Tang Jun.

"The army will set off early tomorrow morning, march downstream, and go directly to Pyongyang City, and now the messenger has reported that General Su Dingfang's team has entered the territory of Goguryeo, let's go to Pyongyang City in advance, wait for two or three days, and we will be able to gather our troops in one place." Xuan Shijing said: "Everyone, next, let's prepare for this final battle with all our might, and report to Ben Hou as soon as possible if there is anything."

"Yes!" The people in the tent gave up.

In the summer, the days became longer and longer, and after the soldiers had eaten, it was not completely dark, and the soldiers in the camp prepared their torches and walked towards the river, and began to collect and dispose of the corpses of the Goguryeo people along the river.

After Xuan Shijing had eaten, he and Chang Le took a walk by the Datong River, and now the river has gradually begun to return to normal, but if there is no mud on both sides and the mud that has been washed away, no one would have thought that such a calm river would have such a great power one day.

It's man-made.

It wasn't until the moon rose high and the light of torches scattered everywhere on the banks of the Datong River that the Tang soldiers finished disposing of the dead bodies.

"Master Hou, when my subordinates saw the corpses of so many dead Goguryeo people, I thought of the war between the Central Plains and Goguryeo decades ago. Chang Le sighed.

"Jingguan? Hehe, how disgusting does a person's heart have to be to make Jingguan to show his merits? Xuan Shijing said: "As the days go by, after all, it is just some ashes, what is really engraved in people's hearts, what cannot be erased is humiliation, the Central Plains and Goguryeo, have a long-standing grudge, and this shame imposed on the Han people in the Central Plains, Goguryeo has to pay the price after all, and this price, isn't it close at hand?" ”

"Annihilation?" Chang Le asked.

"The destruction of the country is only on the surface, Goguryeo is gone, it is just 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, and now that we have been fighting for several months, we have completely dug up the roots of Goguryeo." Xuan Shijing said: "Isn't this kind of revenge enough? ”

After this autumn, when winter came, I don't know how many people would die in this land, and after years of famine, Goguryeo was already like a castle in the sky.

In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers in the Tang army camp began to pack up their things in a hurry and began to pull out the camp.

This camp fortress standing on the edge of the Datong River, all made of wood, is no longer useful, and Xuan Shijing did not order to demolish it, anyway, in the future, this is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it doesn't matter if it is demolished or not.

In the camp, 5,000 men and horses were allocated to turn around and go to Bozhuo City to transport grain and grass for the army, and the remaining 20,000 horses began to set off towards Pyongyang City.

Pyongyang City, 120,000 troops are stationed one hundred and fifty miles northeast of Pyongyang City, which makes Gao Zang temporarily put down a big stone in his heart, and he and Quan Nanjian are still fighting very happily, but with the soldiers of Bozhuo City, Gao Zang seems to have confidence.

Gao Zang has an army of 120,000 outside, but Quan Nanjian controls the 30,000 army in Pyongyang, including the guards of the palace, a total of more than 50,000 people.

Although Gao Zang said that there were soldiers outside, but the distant water could not quench the thirst of the near, and the water was still being recruited, who knew whether it was clear or turbid.

During the night, the messenger hurried into the palace through the side door of the palace and went straight to the dormitory of Takazo.

"Stop, who's who?" Outside the high dormitory, the eunuch stopped the messenger.

"Please report to the king, urgent military situation." The messenger stood outside the temple and spoke aloud.

"Wait here for a while, the king is already asleep, so I'll go in and ask."

It was about the military situation, the eunuch did not dare to put it aside, so he could only walk into Gaozang's dormitory, tonight it was Gaozang's concubine who slept in Gaozang's dormitory, and the two of them made a fuss between the beds for a long time before they stopped, and now Gaozang was sleeping fragrantly.

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

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty? There is a messenger outside, saying that it is an emergency military situation. The eunuch whispered.

Gao Zang woke up in a daze: "What kind of military situation, it's not too late to talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Your Majesty, the messenger is waiting outside, it's the middle of the night, and the messenger is in such a hurry to enter the palace to find the king, this is ......."

"Got it, let him wait outside first, and Lone will come." Takazo said impatiently.

"Yes." The eunuch retreated, and when he went out, he took the messenger to the main hall next door.

After a long time, Gao Zang walked out of the inner hall with a sleepy-eyed appearance, and he was simply dressed in a coat. “

"In the middle of the night, what do you have to report?" Takazo said.

"On the king of Qiqi, the upper reaches of the Datong River were deliberately intercepted and impounded, and then the embankment was dug up, and now on both sides of the upper reaches of the Datong River, the water is overflowing, flooding thousands of hectares of fertile land, the scouts are looking up along the Datong River, and they found a lot of soldiers in the city of Bozhuo, scattered towards the side of Pyongyang City, after scouts and investigations, it is the Tang army that impounds water in the upper reaches, and the water floods the 120,000 troops of the city, and now the 120,000 army, except for the soldiers who fled to Pyongyang City, the rest have been wiped out."

The messenger's news instantly scared away all of Gaozang's sleepiness, and Gaozang's whole person woke up.

"What do you say? The 120,000 army of Bozhuo City is gone? Gao Zangfu asked.

"Yes." The messenger responds.

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

What kind of person is Xuan Shijing, only 30,000 Liaodong soldiers can be worth the 120,000 male soldiers in Bozhuo City? Even if it is a water meter, the 120,000 soldiers and horses in Bozhuo City, is it possible that even the 30,000 Tang troops can't defend it?
