On May 11, on the battlefield of the Dajeung River, Andong's army, which had rested for a day, took the initiative to attack the enemy army in order to cooperate with Li Fengyun's attack on Pyongyang.

Yizhide has a clear goal, drag, you attack and defend, the more fierce you attack, the closer you are to defeat.

However, in the afternoon of this day, an urgent report came from Pyongyang, tens of thousands of Turkish troops descended from the sky, surrounded Pyongyang, the situation suddenly became sinister, Prime Minister Gao Jianwu implored Ulzhide, at any cost, to defeat the enemy's main force in the shortest possible time, only in this way can we turn the tide and save Goguryeo.

Yi Zhide is anxious, in the face of the crisis, in the face of a strong opponent, he is also at a loss, the only way is to defeat the enemy army in the Dading River battlefield, and if you want to achieve this goal, you can only use the procrastination trick, you must not risk a decisive battle, so you can't rush, the more critical the moment, the more calm you must be, you must calm down, and steadily advance according to the established strategy to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

On May 12, the offensive of Anton's army became more violent, Li Zixiong sat on the front line to command, Han Shige and Luo Yizhu generals took the lead, and King Qi also went to the front line to supervise the battle.

Ulzhide secretly rejoiced, judging that the enemy army was the last madness, and soon he would be in a desperate situation because of the lack of food and grass.

On 13 May, the two sides continued to fight fiercely, and the psychology of the generals on both sides gradually changed with the bloody battle.

Ulzhide became more and more confident and looked forward to the turning point, but King Qi, Li Zixiong and others were worried, the grain and grass weapons were about to be cut off, if Li Fengyun could not quickly capture Pyongyang and supplement the military supplies with the seized, he would definitely be defeated.

In the early morning of 14 May, Li Zixiong and Han Shige received an urgent report from Li Fengyun that the Xuanfeng Army, with the cooperation of the Goguryeo surrender magnates, had captured Pyongyang on the night of 12 May, and delivered grain, grass and weapons to the main army of the Dajeonghe battlefield at the fastest speed. At this point, the overall situation has been decided, Goguryeo has been defeated, and the third Turkish crusade has successfully achieved the expected goal.

Then, Li Fengyun told Li Zixiong that the next target of the Andong army was the enemy army of Ulzhide and Qingchuan, and Ulzhide may have received the news of the fall of Pyongyang earlier, and Ulzhide saw that the general trend had gone, and he would inevitably resist stubbornly and struggle to the death, so Li Fengyun asked Li Zixiong not to fight a decisive battle with Ulzhide, and try to drag him down, just wait for the Fengma army to kill Qingchuan, and after putting Ulzhide in the desperate situation of the enemy on his belly and back, he could be surrounded and killed on all sides, so that he could avenge the defeat of Sashui and avenge the death of hundreds of thousands of local soldiers.

Indeed, Lee received the news of the fall of Pyongyang earlier. Pyongyang fell, Uljide expected, after all, Goguryeo and Tu are not at all a level of opponents, Goguryeo can hold out for three years is already a trace, and failure is reasonable, but it is unacceptable that Pyongyang was not conquered by the enemy, but was given away by his own traitors, Goguryeo was not defeated by Tu, but betrayed by his own traitors, which made him angry and desperate.

In the early morning of 14 May, Ulzhide summoned the generals of the unified army, such as Yi Buyi and Gai Baowen, to announce the fall of Pyongyang.

After all, this battle was lost, and then Goguryeo faced two fates, one was the worst result, the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, and the other was the best result, the kingdom was preserved and the race was preserved.

Of course, Uljideok wanted to strive for the best result, and Pyongyang's surrender of the magnates took the initiative to donate the city, creating the best conditions for the survival of the kingdom and the preservation of the race. As long as the Goguryeo army is there, Goguryeo still has a trace of vitality, and Goguryeo has the hope of making a comeback, on the contrary, if Goguryeo has no army, the vitality will be cut off, the kingdom will be destroyed in a blink of an eye, and the race will be wiped out in the near future.

"Surrender, the sooner you surrender, the less chance the natives will have to kill bloodily, and the more vitality Goguryeo will retain." Ulzhide said calmly, "The natives hate me to the core, and they are bound to kill me quickly, so when you surrender, show my head to relieve the hatred of the land, which will greatly increase my chances of survival in Goguryeo." ”

On the afternoon of May 14, the Goguryeo army retreated on all fronts, and it seems that Xian Buyi and Gai Baowen were the first to withdraw to the south bank of the Dading River.

On May 15, Li Fengyun led the main force of the Feng Ma Army to cross Sashui to the west, and the troops approached Qingchuan, and together with the main force of the infantry army led by King Qi and Li Zixiong, they formed a flanking attack on the enemy forces in Yizhide and Qingchuan.

Just as Li Fengyun was murderous and ready to besiege and kill Yizhide, he seemed to be the first to surrender to the king of Qi with Yizhide's head.

On the evening of the same day, Li Fengyun issued an order to the Andong armies to plunder Pyongyang, loot the wealth of Goguryeo, and complete the expected goal of the expedition before the main army of Yusu and the Eastern Expedition arrived in Pyongyang.

On May 16, Yalu Shui, the Goguryeo general Jiang Yiwei sent an envoy to the west bank to surrender to the Turkish army.

When Guo Rong, the general of the right guard, Xue Shixiong, the general of the left imperial guard, and Cui Hongsheng, the general of the left guard, received the news, they all sneered and scoffed. Since the outbreak of the war, three years, Goguryeo has surrendered again and again, and has gone back on its word again and again, and the Turkish side has long not believed it, especially now that Andong's army has entered the hinterland of Goguryeo, and is attacking on the front line of Qingchuan, Pyongyang is in danger.

However, since the Goguryeo surrender envoy has come, it is okay to meet him, and he may be able to find out some about the current situation in Pyongyang.

Guo Rong, Xue Shixiong and Cui Hongsheng were too lazy to meet, so they asked Wu Benlang to make Pei Renji a representative for a perfunctory look. The three generals were not concerned about this matter, and their attention was focused on the body of Anton's army, and they were all anxious, because Andong's army had created the best fighter for the Third Eastern Crusade, but Yushu resolutely implemented the decision of the Holy Lord and the Pivot, and would rather give up the fighter than immediately cross the river to support Andong's army. It's just that Li Fengyun is so stupid? If Li Fengyun is so stupid, can he still rise to prominence in just two years? Li Fengyun must have a follow-up move, however, the three generals' daily sand table deduction is not possible to see the possibility of reversal, which makes the three generals worried.

When the three generals were deducing in the sand table, Pei Renji broke in.

"The Andong army captured Pyongyang."

The three generals looked at each other and smiled in unison.

"Langya Gong, do you also believe the lies of the Goguryeo people?" Xue Shixiong teased, "Don't tell you not to be, if you don't listen, you have to be the wind in your ears." ”

"Jiang Yiwei is on the other side of Jinkou." Pei Renji bowed down and said, "As long as the three generals give permission, Jiang Yiwei will immediately cross the river and surrender." ”

The three generals smiled and looked at each other, and then looked at the sand table at the same time. How is this possible? Judging from the sand table deduction, not to mention attacking Pyongyang, it is difficult for the Andong Army to even capture Cheongcheon and cut off the passage between Pyongyang and Yalu Water, so why did the Andong Army capture Pyongyang in a blink of an eye?

"When did Pyongyang fall?" Guo Rong asked.

"Late at night on May 12." Bae In-ki said.

"When will the Andong Army encircle Pyongyang?" Cui Hongsheng asked eagerly.

"The tenth day of May." Bae In-gi replied.

"That's a lot of speed." Xue Shixiong clapped his hands and praised, "The news we got is that King Qi and Li Zixiong led their troops to the Dading River battlefield on the seventh day of the fifth month, which also means that Anton's main force crossed the Sashui east to attack Pyongyang on the same day, and captured Pyongyang five days later, which was too fast. Then he looked at Bae In-gi and asked, "Does that Goguryeo envoy know the details of the fall of Pyongyang?" ”

"It is said that Gaoling raised troops to rebel and opened the city gates."

"Gao Ling?" Guo Rong shook his head, looked at each other with Xue Shixiong and Cui Hongsheng, and the three generals invariably thought of Pei Shiju, thought of Pei Shiju's secret army, and thought of why Li Pingyuan was in danger, and he had to go deep alone at any cost, and rushed all the way to Pyongyang.

Pyongyang fell, Euljideok in the Qingchuan battlefield, and Jiang Yiwei in the Yalushui battlefield all lost their support, lost the support of grain and grass weapons, and could no longer return to the sky, so they had to surrender, and the earlier they surrendered, the more the Goguryeo army was saved, the more Goguryeo's vitality was retained, and the future of Goguryeo was more hopeful.

The Third Crusade was won, and it was won as quickly as possible, and the Holy Lord and the Pivot successfully achieved the expected goal, and Anton also achieved his goal, and with the help of the Third Crusade, he quickly grew stronger.

This was something that the Holy Lord and the Lord did not expect, although they reversed the political decline of the reformers with the help of the final victory of the Eastern Crusade, but the next political situation was very unfavorable to them, because of the rapid expansion of the strength of Li Pingyuan and Anton, because of the roar of the Civil War, the political forces headed by Pei Shiju will win more voice at the highest decision-making level, and the Shandong political group headed by the five super giants will also win valuable advantages in the struggle against the Guanlong and Jiangzuo political groups, so that The reformists headed by the Holy Lord have fallen into greater isolation, and it has become more and more difficult to control the government of the DPRK, because both the conservative forces of the Guanlong political clique and the Shandong political clique and the intermediate-force led by Pei Shiju will inevitably spare no effort to seize political interests by taking advantage of the tremendous impact of the rise of Li Pingyuan and Andong on the political pattern of Turkey.

Guo Rong, Xue Shixiong, and Cui Hongsheng were all desperately looking forward to the victory of the Eastern Crusade, but when this result really appeared, they couldn't be happy. The rapid rise of Li Pingyuan and Anton will certainly be a great danger to the future of the soil, especially at the critical moment when the Civil War is about to break out, and it is even a foreseeable and terrible disaster that is even enough to destroy the great cause of the unification of the soil.

The Lord and the Pivot were sure to fight, weaken, and destroy them, but the Third Crusade was an example, and the Lord and the Pivot failed in their plan to kill them with the sword, and so on, could the Lord and the Pivot achieve their goal of destroying them with the help of the Civil War? The answer is no, Li Pingyuan and Anton's forces will inevitably plan to develop and grow with the help of the Civil War, so it is not difficult to see that after the end of the Civil War, the civil war will inevitably break out, and the Holy Lord and the Pivotal will inevitably attack Anton treacherously, and Li Pingyuan and Anton's army will inevitably launch a fierce counterattack, but when they are in full swing, the fierce political contradictions in the country will inevitably not break out, and the major political groups will inevitably take the opportunity to fight in a big way, so the great cause of reunification will inevitably collapse.

In the current situation, the best way to curb Andong's development is to quickly cross the river, quickly control Pyongyang, and prevent Li Fengyun and Andong's army from plundering Goguryeo's wealth to the greatest extent, but Yushu has already given an order, and without his order, he cannot cross the Yalu water. Similarly, Yushu was also subject to the Holy Lord, and without the orders of the Holy Lord and the Hub, Yushu did not dare to order the eastward crossing of the Yalu Water without authorization. However, by the time Yushu reported to the Holy Lord, and by the time the Holy Lord gave the order to cross the river, the time had been greatly delayed, and by the time Yushu entered Pyongyang, Pyongyang was estimated to be in ruins. The Holy Lord, the Shu and hundreds of thousands of Weifu troops exhausted their national strength and fought for three years, and finally cheapened Li Pingyuan and made a wedding dress for Anton in vain.

The more Guo Rong and Xue Shixiong thought about it, the more depressed they became, but Cui Hongsheng, who had always advocated crossing the river as soon as possible, suddenly became passive, did not say a word, and did not mention the matter of crossing the river at all.

On the first day of June, Yu Shu and Guo Rong led their troops across the Yalu River and advanced rapidly towards Pyongyang.

On the same day, the sailors who had already entered the Goguryeo battlefield and conquered the important town of Bihaeong, an important town in the northwest of Goguryeo, also rushed to Pyongyang by water under the command of Laihu'er.

On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, Yushu and Guo Rong arrived in Sashui and had to stop, because the 100,000 Anton army was waiting on the opposite bank, and the two sides faced each other across the river, and the atmosphere was very tense.

On the same day, Shi Wei Fusi, the governor of the Qi Prince's Mansion, Li Hun, the deputy protector of Anton, and the Turkic Buli Khan Ashina Er, respectively represented the King of Qi, the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate and the Anton Commandery, to greet Yushu, Guo Rong and the Eastern Expedition Headquarters.

It was understandable that King Qi did not show up, and Li Pingyuan avoided it, so Yushu was very unhappy and asked Li Hun, where is Li Pingyuan?

"Deputy Metropolitan Li is worried about Anton's safety and has returned to Anton ahead of schedule."

As soon as these words came out, Yu Shudun had a sense of ominousness. Li Hun openly lied, Anton's main army was here, how could Li Pingyuan leave the army and return to Andong alone? Obviously, Li Pingyuan was worried about being persecuted by Yushu and worried that Anton's army would be attacked by Yushu, so he set up a suspicious formation and hid in the shadows.

Yushu was silent, but Li Hun laughed and asked Yushu, Guo Rong and the Eastern Expedition Headquarters to immediately enter Pyongyang City.

Wei Fusi also warmly invited, saying that the king of Qi was waiting under the city.

Yushu made a decisive decision not to enter Pyongyang City, and the headquarters of the Eastern Expedition was located in Cheongcheon Castle on the west bank of Sasu.

On July 17, the Holy Lord led the palace to Huaiyuan Town.

On the same day, Yushu, the commander of the Eastern Expedition, arrived in Huaiyuan Town and presented the military administration of Liaodong to the Holy Lord and the Pivot in person.

The dust has settled on the Crusade. In order to preserve the kingdom and race, Goguryeo compensated all the land east of Hunsu and the population of the land, leaving less than one-fifth of the original land. The great king Gao Yuan and the nobles who supported him were all killed. The city of Pyongyang and its environs were looted by the forces of Andong and the captives of Lee Plains, resulting in very little loot.

"Duke Xu, how many troops does Anton have left?" Yu Shiji suddenly interrupted Yushu's recital and asked eagerly.

Yushu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you mean the army under the jurisdiction of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, or do you refer to the strength of the entire Anton?" ”

Yu Shiji said without thinking, "How many troops are left that Li Pingyuan can absolutely control?" ”

Yu Shu glanced at the Holy Lord who was sitting on the throne with a cold expression, and then looked at Zhao Cai, Xiao Yu, Pei Yun and other important ministers sitting opposite him, hesitated a little, and said slowly, "At least 150,000." ”

All are discolored.

The Holy Lord was very surprised, and asked sharply, "What is the reason why Anton's 100,000-strong army, thousands of miles of attack, and successive battles, actually fight more and more?" ”

Yushu sighed, "Before a certain army arrived in Sashui, more than 50,000 captives of the Goguryeo army, as well as more than 50,000 soldiers of our army who were captured in the Sashui War, were all coerced away by Li Pingyuan. ”

The Holy Lord was furious, "Why don't you stop it? ”

Yushu bowed his head and was silent. Deter? What to stop? On the other side of the river, Li Pingyuan is even ready to fight against each other, how can Yushu stop it?

The monarch and the ministers were depressed and indignant, and they were speechless.

The situation was grim, originally to borrow a knife to kill, with the help of the third crusade to weaken Anton, the result backfired, Li Pingyuan will plan, not only plundered the wealth of Goguryeo, but also robbed more than 100,000 brave soldiers, Anton expanded rapidly, just half a year later, Li Pingyuan has risen to become a hegemon, the tail is not down.

"What's going to happen?" The Holy Lord looked around at the ministers and asked.

"Northern Expedition." Yu Shiji said categorically, "The tooth tent has issued an assembly order, and the northern captives are successively going south to the moraine, and the war between the north and the south is about to break out. ”

The Holy Lord weighed it for a moment, then looked at the ministers and asked, "What do you think?" ”

This is an open plan to kill people with a knife, unless Li Pingyuan rebels, he can only go on a northern expedition, and in the Civil War, a preemptive strike can also help Tu win this battle, so from the perspective of military affairs, Li Fengyun cannot refuse, and the cardinals have no reason to oppose it.

＝

On the fourth day of the eighth month, the Holy Lord decreed that the Eastern Crusade was over and the class teacher returned to the court.

On the same day, the Holy Lord left Huaiyuan Town and returned to the Eastern Capital.

On the same day, the Protectorate of Anton received a holy decree and decided to go north to the desert.

Pei Shiju immediately returned to the Eastern Capital to assist the Holy Lord in the preparations for the Northern Expedition.

Li Pingyuan served as the supreme commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and concurrently led the protection of Anton's capital, and immediately began preparations for the Northern Expedition. Preparations for the Northern Expedition must be completed before the end of the year, and in the early spring of next year, the Northern Expedition can begin as long as the Holy Lord decrees.

At this moment, Li Fengyun has led the horse army back to Anton, Li Fengyun is in Andong's capital, after receiving the holy decree, Li Fengyun smiled and said to Pei Shiju, "A certain wish is granted, but whether a certain can succeed in the Northern Expedition and sweep the desert still needs the full support of Ming Gong." ”

Pei Shiju stroked his beard and smiled, "You snatched 100,000 troops from Goguryeo, used the Eastern Expedition to loot a huge amount of wealth, and created preemptive conditions for the soil, the fact has allowed the soil to seize the opportunity in this war and establish an advantage, and then whether the Northern Expedition is successful or not, the desert will fall into chaos, the Northern Captives will suffer heavy losses, and the soil will win this war." ”

Li Fengyun nodded, "A certain has changed history, and next, a certain will create history, perhaps, a certain can seal the wolf and live forever." ”

Pei Shiju hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you determined to go on the Northern Expedition?" ”

Li Fengyun nodded solemnly, "This war is inevitable, if it is won, there is still hope for the soil to turn the tide, and it is still possible to preserve the great cause of reunification, otherwise, the soil will inevitably fall apart, and it will inevitably fall into division and war again, and countless living beings will surely be wiped out." Now, X has no ability to turn the tide, but X has the ability to create a glimmer of life for the soil that is about to collapse, so X has no choice. ”

Pei Shiju pondered for a long time and sighed, "The strength of the country has been exhausted by the Eastern Expedition, and it cannot support the Northern Expedition at all. ”

Li Fengyun smiled and nodded, "The Northern Expedition is a defeat in the eyes of the Holy Lord, the Pivot, and even the Ming Gong, and by extension, in the eyes of Shibi Khan and the Tooth Tent, there is no return, so the Northern Expedition will definitely come out, and this happens to be where the vitality of a certain lies." ”

Pei Shiju immediately thought of the Eastern Crusade that had just been victorious, putting it to death and resurrecting it, and taking risks, this is Li Fengyun's specialty, perhaps, Li Fengyun can continue the trace.

"I believe in you." Pei Shiju said with a smile, "A certain is waiting for you to return victoriously at the Great Wall." ”

The end of the book.

Historically, this civil war ended in the defeat of the soil, and the defeated regime of Emperor Yang of Sui immediately collapsed. Now that history has been changed by Li Fengyun, Andong's army made a northern expedition to the desert, and the soil struck first, so it is foreseeable that even if the Northern Expedition is defeated, it can also prevent or delay the pace of the Turkic invasion to the south, and this can give the Sui Yang Emperor's regime to stabilize the domestic situation, restore the vitality of the soil exhausted by the three-year Eastern Crusade, and gain precious time.

So, the book is also over.
