    The military rations are about to be exhausted, and the three armies are in great danger.  Yu Zhongwen, Yu Wenshu, Cui Hongsheng, Liu Shilong, Dugu Lan, Jing Yuanheng and others discussed countermeasures in the Chinese army's tent. In the end, they believed that with their current strength alone, the Sui army did not have enough time to break the city.

    So we can only retreat.

    But at this time, the lone army is deep inside, and it is not easy to withdraw.  Just watching the Goguryeo people lure the enemy deeper step by step, they are afraid that they will already be full of ambushes on the way back to the Sui army. The road is long and difficult, and this is destined to be a difficult and dangerous way to break out.

    At this time, Dugu Lan stepped forward and said: "Our army has penetrated hundreds of miles into Goguryeo alone, and has been cut off from food and grass. It has reached a desperate situation. Once the Hulu set up defenses at the Sa River and cut off our army's retreat, our army will be backlogged beyond the Sa River.  The narrow area to the north and west of the Sa River was until they were trapped by the barbarians. For the current plan, the only way is to send an army to the north immediately without disturbing the Goguryeo people, and stick to the north bank of the Sa River to protect the army after returning north.  Road, and at the same time support the army's retreat to the north and block the Goguryeo reinforcements, only then can a safe passage be opened for the army."

    Everyone looked at each other in shock. If the Goguryeo people really had an ambush north of Sa River, it would probably be a large number.  At that time, this force will have to withstand attacks from both sides, and may even cut off the entire army's rear.

    "Let me do it!"

    Da Xihao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and asked Yu Zhongwen for help.

    "Xu Gong, the general manager, Liu Sofu, I will go to Sa River to open the way for the main force. We have many cavalrymen on the left and are fast. Even if we fall behind, we can keep up."

    Everyone stared at Da Xihao, but Da Xihao did not flinch.

    Yu Zhongwen breathed a sigh of relief. He was most afraid that at this time, all the armies would be in the same bed, have different intentions, and fight on their own, which would put everyone in danger.  Since Da Xihao took the initiative to ask for help, he agreed to Da Xihao's request.

    Da Xihao also didn't understand why Cai Zhiyun and Huang Mingli asked him to take the initiative to request to go to Sashui to cut off the main force. However, although he had no great talent or strategy, he listened to their advice, so he followed their suggestions and asked for a fight. Sure enough,  Yes.

    After Da Xihao took over the order, he secretly mobilized all the forces in the army.  At night, the entire army suddenly broke out of camp and headed north. The cavalry marched for more than 80 miles overnight, almost breaking the legs of the horses. They arrived at Sashui before the Goguryeo people could react.

    After Da Xihao crossed the Sa River, he ordered his people to dig trenches on the north bank of the Sa River, build camps, cut down trees to make boats, and build pontoons to prepare for the Sui army.

    At this time, the main force of the Sui army under Pyongyang City did not move lightly.

    Yu Zhongwen decided to go in the opposite direction. He sent people to Pyongyang City to threaten the Goguryeo people. If the Goguryeo people did not surrender, they would attack Pyongyang City. After the city was broken, the Goguryeo royal family fell. No wonder he did not tell him in advance.

    Yu Zhongwen knew that at this time, it would depend on who showed weakness first. Whoever showed weakness first would be defeated.  He must frighten the Goguryeo people so that they dare not act rashly.  Then they could retreat under the eyes of the Goguryeo people before their encirclement was completed.  The arrogant threat of sending troops could just make the Goguryeo people mistakenly believe that the Sui army was still strong at this time, and at the same time they could not understand the Sui army's true intentions.

    Sure enough, Eulji Wende was a little confused after seeing the Sui envoy. According to his calculations, the Sui army should be running out of food and grass. How could he dare to be so arrogant and have a bad attitude.

    For a moment, Eulji Wende couldn¡¯t figure out the situation and didn¡¯t dare to act rashly.

    In order to find out the true intention of the Sui Dynasty, Ulji Mundeok sent an envoy to the Sui military camp to pretend to surrender again.

    When the Goguryeo envoy arrived at the Sui army camp, there were bright horizontal swords everywhere, which made the Goguryeo envoy tremble.  He knelt in the tent of the Sui army's central army and begged Yu Zhongwen: "This small country has offended the power of Heaven, and I have already acknowledged my mistake. I only ask the Heavenly Kingdom to be magnanimous and forgive Goguryeo. If the Sui army can retreat like this, the King of Goguryeo will personally  Go to Liaodong City to pay homage to the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty."

    Yu Zhongwen was furious at first and accused the Goguryeo people of betrayal. He repeated many times that he would no longer believe the lies of the Goguryeo people and he would attack Pyongyang City immediately.

    Finally, with Yu Wenshu's cooperation, Yu Zhongwen finally reluctantly agreed to the Goguryeo people's surrender and threatened that they must come to the Sui army's camp within three days to surrender, otherwise the Sui army would immediately attack the city.  .  Yu Zhongwen said some words of reprimand, which frightened the Goguryeo envoy.

    But Yu Zhongwen didn¡¯t know that although the Goguryeo envoy was a real envoy, it was Princess Pinggang who was in charge of the affairs privately, disguised as a secretary.

    Princess Pinggang is the wife of Onda and the sister of Gao Yuan. She is also a heroic woman in Goguryeo and has always been famous.  Eulji Mundeok can't show up this time.However, there was no suitable person in the Goguryeo army to inquire about the information, so Princess Pinggang volunteered to request to come to the Sui camp.

    As a secretary, no one paid attention to Princess Pinggang.  She looked around in the Sui army camp and finally discovered that although the Sui soldiers looked high in morale, they actually looked hungry.  Moreover, she saw that the people who were repairing the camp were careless and had no intention of staying there, so she guessed that the Sui army was just pretending to be impressive, but their purpose was to escape.

    Back in Pyongyang City, Princess Pyonggang quickly told Ulji Mundeok what she had discovered.  He also advised Eulji Mundeok to fall into the Sui army's scheme and let the Sui army run away.

    It was at this time that Eulji Mundeok felt relieved. Everything was going as he expected, and Yu Zhongwen was really good at acting.  Now we want to keep these hundreds of thousands of Sui troops and beat them hard.

    "Since the Sui army accepted my family's surrender, it means that the Sui army did not have the strength to capture Pyongyang City, otherwise he would not give up this piece of fat."

    Early on the next morning, before dawn, Eulji Mundeok led a total of 80,000 troops out of Pyongyang City and suddenly launched an attack on the Sui army.

    Yu Zhongwen was surprised when he was suddenly attacked. He never expected that the Goguryeo people would react so quickly.  The opponent's attack at this time may mean that his previous deception tactics have completely failed, and it also means that the entire encirclement has been completed.

    At this moment, there was no room for any further hesitation, and Yu Zhongwen immediately ordered the entire army to break out.

    With the Goguryeo people hanging behind them, the Sui army, which had almost exhausted its food supplies, could not go far at all.  Yu Zhongwen knew very well that he could either cut off his tail and survive, or he could all die here.  Therefore, among all the armies, one unit must be left here to block Goguryeo's pursuers.

    At this time, it became a question of who should stay. No one was a fool. There was almost no hope of survival if he stayed.  Moreover, everyone is also a veteran. At the critical moment of life and death, who is willing to sacrifice himself for others.

    Everyone looked at each other and said nothing. Finally, Dugu Lan stood up and asked for an end.

    "The Dugu family has enjoyed the kindness of the Sui Dynasty. It's time for me, Dugu Lan, to repay the kindness of the Sui Dynasty." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
