The weapons in the camp were collected by the Tang army and stacked together, and ropes were found from the camp and their hands were tied, one by one, like grasshoppers.

Tied up like this, first, I am not afraid that they will rebel, and second, I am not afraid that they will escape, although it is a waste of food in the city, but after all, it is a surrender, and it can only be so.

Although the trip to Bozhuo City suffered a lot, the result was gratifying, and the Tang army took Bozhuo City bloodlessly, and connected the city with the place that was taken before.

Xuan Shijing sent 500 soldiers to take over the official mansion of Bozhuo City, and the most important documents and materials in it must be protected, and these will be sorted out and sent to Chang'an in the future.

Now that the land has been won, Datang will definitely set up states and counties on this land, and these things will be of great use at that time.

After staying in the barracks for about an hour, the soldiers settled down, Xuan Shijing took Chang Le back to the official office of Bozhuo City, the barracks, camp tents, and all the living utensils in the city are ready-made, these soldiers have been stationed in the city for so many years, and the things are also exquisite, and the Tang Army will clean up and continue to use it after entering the camp, which saves a lot of trouble.

In order to take Bozhuo City, the 30,000 Liaodong Army worked as people in the woods on a hot day, and suffered a lot, Xuan Shijing planned that the 120,000 troops outside the city would not be ignored for the time being, and would not be in a hurry, so that the soldiers under his command would have a good rest in Bozhuo City.

Xuan Shijing found the topographic map drawn by the scouts in Bozhuo City in the hall of the official office, as well as the garrison maps of various places in Goguryeo.

Most of the soldiers and horses marked on this map have been killed or captured by the Tang army, in other words, this map can now see the terrain, and the information on it has become invalid.

Perhaps the defenders of Pojo Fortress would go out of the city with an army of 120,000 and go outside, and they would be able to recover some towns for Goguryeo, but even if they did, so what? How many men are to be sent to defend the city? How many people are left to go to King Seong-kin of Pyongyang?

Su Dingfang is about to go north, Su Dingfang's 50,000 elites, plus Xuan Shijing's 30,000 Liaodong Army, and the help of the sailor Liu Boying, how can Goguryeo struggle?

Su Dingfang has been fighting on the sea for a few days, and the Goguryeo naval army can't find the north, and now many cities along the coast have been occupied by the Tang army, and the Goguryeo fleet is now difficult to even find a place to supply, how to fight.

For the siege of Pyongyang, Goguryeo's sailors are probably powerless, even if they want to come to the rescue, they have to see if they can break through the blockade of Liu Renjing on the sea.

In the palace, Xuan Shijing and Chang Le each cleaned up a room for themselves, and slept peacefully in the room, two hundred government soldiers guarded the city wall, and fifty people patrolled the streets of the city, and the remaining two hundred and fifty people took turns to rest.

I slept peacefully in the room, and this sleep was really comfortable until three o'clock in the morning.

After Xuan Shijing got up and got acquainted, he came to the hall of the mansion and ordered the people below to prepare some food.

"Master Hou, did you sleep well last night?" Chang Le walked in from outside and asked with a smile.

"Comfortable, marching and fighting, I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time." Xuan Shijing smiled: "It's good that Benhou has a big heart, otherwise he can't stand it if he relaxes for a while." ”

"That's because Hou Ye won several battles in a row when he was outside Bozhuo City before, and the whole person was also relaxed." Chang Le said: "By the way, Master Hou, I went to the military camp just now, and arranged for the soldiers in the camp to replace all the soldiers on the city wall, and let the five hundred soldiers go back to the camp to rest." ”

"Okay, well done." Xuan Shijing praised: "Have you had breakfast?" ”

Chang Le smiled embarrassedly: "Not yet." ”

"Let's eat together." Xuan Shijing said.

"Master Xie." Chang Le replied.

"You're welcome." Xuan Shijing walked up to Chang Le and patted Chang Le's shoulder: "It's been hard to follow me these days." ”

Chang Le followed Xuan Shijing's side, not only suffering like ordinary soldiers, but also taking care of Xuan Shijing at all times and taking care of Xuan Shijing's safety.

Xuan Shijing and Chang Le had dinner in the front hall, and after the people outside packed up their things, several lieutenants of General Xuan Shijing came over.

"Now that we have taken Bozhuo City, the next thing is to face the 120,000 troops who went out of Bozhuo City, as long as we level the 120,000 troops, we can continue to advance towards Pyongyang City." Xuan Shijing pointed to the map and said: "According to the news of the scouts, after the 120,000 troops left Bozhuo City, they rushed straight towards the town where we were stationed before. ”

"Master Hou, although the 30,000 soldiers in our army are elite, they do not have the slightest advantage over the 120,000 Goguryeo army, but if they are not careful, they may be combined, so the last general thinks that in addition to being cautious, he should also ask for help." A deputy general said.

"That's right, now the reinforcements are already on the way, but don't expect too much from what the reinforcements can do, now General Su Dingfang is beating the Goguryeo sailors on the sea, and he is temporarily weak, and the more than 8,000 troops on the Liaodong side not only have to take care of the city, but also take care of the surrendered troops, and they can't support us for the time being, so Ben Hou ordered the 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers in Anshi City to come here to join us as reinforcements." Xuan Shijing said: "Although the combat power of the 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers cannot be compared with our elites, it is better than nothing, and the total army has 60,000, and the odds of victory are at least half high." ”

"Master Hou, I don't know how many defenders do you want to leave in Bozhuo City?" The other lieutenant stood up and asked.

"Five thousand." Xuan Shijing said: "Five thousand elites, since Bozhuo City has been taken, it can't be returned to their hands, it must be firmly nailed here, and the 30,000 prisoners in the city can't be sent to Liaodong or Daxing City for the time being, they need to be guarded in the military camp, and the five thousand defenders are in Bozhuo City, even if the Goguryeo people want to take Bozhuo City again, they can hold on for a period of time and wait for the army to rescue." ”

In this way, there were only more than 25,000 people left who Xuan Shijing could take away, plus the 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers from Anshi City, the total was only 55,000 people.

"After the entire Goguryeo Bozhuo City, there will be no more dangerous mountain passes, a plain, it is not difficult to deal with the 120,000 army, maybe this is the last hard battle before going to Pyongyang City, so everyone, you must be prepared to fight to the death!" Xuan Shijing said.

In this battle, the disparity in strength is too great.
