(Since I sincerely ask for collection!)

Just below the foot of the Goguryeo city less than fifty miles north of Li Xian's army, there was a dense forest at the foot of the mountain fifteen miles north. Even when the sun rose to the highest point above the head, only a few strands of sparse sunlight could barely shine through the gaps between the leaves. Inside the forest and outside the forest seemed to be two worlds, one was light and the other was dark. The boundary line of the forest was the junction of light and darkness.

There is a white-breasted tiger in this forest that can hurt people. The Goguryeo hunters in the big city once ventured into the forest to abandon this disaster. However, the forest was too dense and too deep, so the hunters did not dare to go too far inside, so they returned without success after hunting several times. Fortunately, the tiger seemed to know that the outside world was unsafe and did not come out to show off. When the Great Sui expeditionary army passed south from the other side of the mountain, the Goguryeo people on this side of the mountain also hid in the city and did not dare to come out. Gradually, people also forgot the existence of this tiger.

At this moment, the tiger was quietly crawling on a wooden rack, closing its eyes and smoking.

Yes, there was smoke.

Because there was a fire under this skinned tiger, and the tiger that once occupied the forest was sizzling with oil. The fragrance lingered and mouth-watering.

On the edge of the fire, eight people sat around.

These eight people gathered together to influence the structure of a powerful empire. At this time, these tall and powerful figures seemed quite depressed. The clothes on their bodies no longer looked glamorous, and the dust on the general's armor was thick. The eight of them stared at the dead tiger in front of them, but their eyes were a little vague.

Finally, the person sitting outside the farthest away from the roasted tiger sighed and said two words softly.

"pity."

His beard was white and his helmet was placed beside him, so his long white hair as white as snow on his temples was hanging listlessly, and the old man looked very lonely. It was a pity that he lost the following after he said the words "It was a pity" that the following words were gone, so that the eyes of the other people remained on his face.

"pity?"

The person sitting opposite him was also old. Although his hair was not as white as desolate, the deep wrinkles on his face were like the gullies on the northwest plateau of the powerful empire, and looked so vicissitudes.

His name is Yuwen Shu, and he is the number one person in the west of the powerful emperor named Da Sui. Not long ago, he was the commander of an elite army of 300,000. He fought from Liaoshui to Sashui and won consecutive victories, and was full of energy. His family had an absolute status and glory in the empire. The emperor of the empire trusted him very much, and there seemed to be no one in the entire court who could replace his position in the emperor's mind.

His influence on the emperor was even less than that of Na Yan Su Wei. He was granted the title of Duke Xu and the general leader of the state.

But now, he is just a down-and-out old man who fled in panic and lost the battle.

Hearing the white-bearded old man opposite, Yuwen Shu smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's really a pity."

The white-bearded old man was Xue Shixiong, the general of the Left Guard of the Empire. He looked at Yuwen Shu and smiled and said, "I said it's a pity, it's a pity that there is no salt. Such a baked wild thing has less fragrance when chewed, so it's a pity. The marshal said it's a pity, what's the pity?"

Yuwen Shu was stunned, then shook her head and said, "It's a pity that I said, there is a big city in front of me with empty defense. However, you and me are now in a down-and-out manner and dare not even fight."

Wang Rengong, the general of the Zuowu Guard sitting beside him, was afraid that the two of them would have any unpleasant feelings, so he smiled and said, "It's just that we can't fight, but we don't want to fight. Although we now have less than 3,000 troops, it's not difficult to capture that lonely city. As for what General Xue said, it's a real pity, haha."

Xue Shixiong curled his lips and seemed quite disdainful of Wang Rengong's words.

Wang Rengong knew that he was not likable. If he had not been in front of the battle and had not been able to rescue him, the army would not have been defeated at this point. The 300,000 elite army has now become a flesh-and-blood city wall, hundreds of thousands of heads were cut down by the Goguryeo people, and they were penetrated with wooden sticks and inserted them on the ground, densely packed like the forest they are in now.

This time, even Yuwen Shu, who has always been good at him, seems to be disgusted with him.

"These are not problems. There is no salt in tiger meat, but it is meat after all. If you eat it, you will be full. If you kill that city, there will be no fewer people, and the road ahead will be even more difficult. The most important thing now is... If you can't catch the guide again, we can only go back according to the same path."

Jing Yuanheng said as he stood up, pulled out a dagger and rubbed it on his body, and then began to cut his flesh.

The tiger meat was not delicious, but it was the hottest meal they had ever eaten since they fled north. Jing Yuanheng cut the meat, and the personal soldiers standing aside immediately came to take over him. Jing Yuanheng waved his hand to signal the personal soldiers to retreat.

"I'm reckless about this. I thought the Goguryeo people on this side of the mountain would not hide. It would be no problem to catch a few guides, but I didn't expect..."

Yuwen Shu said with a wry smile.

"If it really doesn't work, just go back the same way, and it won't take a few days' trip."

Zhang Jin said softly.

"Return the same way?"

Yu Zhongwen sighed: "The way back was sealed by the Goguryeo people who were more tight than this forest, so it's not easy."

As he was talking, he suddenly heard someone shouting from afar and ran over. Several generals turned their heads and looked at it. It was Yu Wen Zhuo, the other general who had sent out to explore the way before. This person was also a general of the Yuwen family, and Yu Wen Shu trusted him quite well.

"marshal!"

Yu Wenzhuo couldn't hide the excitement on his face: "When the scout went to explore the big city again, he found that there were other people peeking at the city defense of the Goguryeo people. The scout followed him carefully. Who would have the idea of ​​that big city?"

"Speak directly!"

Yuwen Shu frowned.

Yu Wenzhuo was excited: "It's Yanyun! Just over 40 miles south of the big city, there are all our soldiers and horses from the Sui Dynasty, with at least 20,000 people!"

"What!"

Yuwen Shu stood up suddenly and asked incrediblely: "You say it again, is it really Yan Yun?"

"It's true! The scout looked carefully and was indeed using the Yan banner. And the scout saw Yan Yun riding the big dark horse and taking people to patrol the camp!"

Because of excitement, Yu Wenzhuo's voice was trembling.

"Yan Yun...he actually rescued so many soldiers?!"

Yuwen Shu was also excited. He pulled Yuwen Zhuo's arm and asked, "There are really more than 20,000 people?"

"Ha ha!"

Xue Shixiong laughed and said, "I'll say that boy should not be underestimated. Let me ask you, have the scouts ever seen my son Xue Wanche? Now, with Yan Yun's 20,000 troops, even if they return to Liaodong on the same road, the Goguryeo people on the road ahead would not dare to stop him!"

"See, the scout saw General Xue's flag."

Yuwen Shu said happily: "There is no way to go! There is no way to go! I know that we will never be trapped by a group of Goguryeo barbarians! Come on, come on, come on, call Yan Yun, no! You are asking General Yan to come over to meet me!"

"etc"

Wang Rengong stopped the excited Yuwen Shu and said carefully: "Yan Yun has more than 20,000 troops, how could he appear here? More than 20,000 soldiers can fight, and the Goguryeo people on the road ahead dare not take action. With this strength, why didn't Yan Yun go back according to the same path?"

"this……"

Yuwen Shu was stunned, then suddenly woke up: "You mean?"

Wang Rengong nodded and said, "You must be careful of others!"

In an instant, Xue Shixiong turned pale with anger. He threw the tiger meat that Jing Yuanheng had handed him to him on the ground, pointed at Wang Rengong's nose and scolded: "Little man! Do you want to say that my son Wan Che also has that intention!"

"ah?"

Wang Rengong was stunned and quickly explained: "General Xiao Xue definitely doesn't. I just said that you must be careful of others. I have never said that Yan Yun really had any strange intentions."

Xue Shixiong said angrily: "General Wang, if you can return to Liaodong, no matter what, your superiors will also participate in your crime of retreating and ineffective rescue!"

Seeing Xue Shixiong's beard so angry that he was suddenly in chaos, there was a chaos in the distance. The soldiers on the far right suddenly burst into cheers, with a loud voice. I don't know what was so happy that everyone was so excited. Yuwen Shu said angrily: "Go and see what happened!"

The personal soldiers were about to check, but they saw a group of people running from afar. Several people led the way, followed by more than a dozen Sui soldiers who didn't look dirty in their clothes.

"Reinforcements! Reinforcements! Marshal, the reinforcements sent by His Majesty have arrived!"

The general Li Shan, who was leading the front, ran and shouted excitedly.

"Reinforcements? What reinforcements?"

Several generals looked at each other.

At this time, the dozen people following behind saw Yuwen Shu bow down at once, and the man in front shouted: "Biyi is Zhao An, the scout team under the command of the Duwei, please pay homage to the marshal!"

"What did you say?"

When Yuwen Shu heard the words "The Prince Consort" and almost fell to the ground when he heard the words "The Prince Consort" and Wang Rengong hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked excitedly: "Are you saying that the Prince Consort's commander led a large army to respond?"

Zhao An said: "Half a month ago, Your Majesty ordered the prince-consort to lead 20,000 cavalry to go south to meet the marshal's army!"

"Ha ha!"

Wang Rengong laughed and said, "This is the real way to go!"

...

...

"Come on?"

Li Xian asked with a smile.

Chen Que'er nodded and said, "I've followed up. I didn't expect to meet the scouts of the Great Sui Dynasty. The people sent to follow have already returned. It's just in the forest more than ten miles north of the big city. It should be Yuwen Shu and the others!"

"I really searched everywhere without any effort. Haha, I was worried about where Yuwen Shu went, and someone came to him immediately."

"Have you ever seen my father?"

Xue Wanche asked anxiously.

Chen Que'er shook her head and said, "The scout didn't dare to get too close. The forest was very tightly guarded. But it seemed that there were many people in the woods, so they should be there."

Xue Wanche said in surprise: "Thank God! Thank God, as long as my father is safe!"

Li Xian patted his shoulder and said, "I just said, Old General Xue will be fine."

He looked at Xue Wanche who was as happy as a child, but he was calculating in his heart. Since he had met him, should he go over and say hello? If he brought Yuwen Shu and the others in one breath, the fun would be great now.

On the other side of the mountain, a rewarding scout rode his horse and rushed into the camp directly, galloping and shouting in a hoarse voice: "Finished, found!"

After hearing this, Yu Wenji quickly walked out of the camp and asked loudly: "What have you found!"

The scout flew off the horse, knelt down on one knee and said, "Report! I've found the Marshal and the others, and I'll rest in the dense forest on the other side of the mountain!"

"real?"

Yu Wenshi and grabbed the scout's clothes and asked excitedly: "Have you ever seen the marshal?"

"I didn't see it, but Bei Zhi and others met the scouts sent by the Marshal! I asked in detail, Marshal, how are the generals!"

"Ha ha!"

Yu Wenshi laughed wildly and said, "Come on! Blow the horns, the whole army will start!"

Seventy or eighty miles away, Li Xian raised his hand and said, "Blow the horns and order the whole army to set off!"

Yu Wenshi said happily: "Father, I finally found you!"

Li Xian thought happily: "Old thief, I finally found you."
