    Huang Mingzhen defeated Wenda and arrived at Sashui. Not long after, Cai Zhiyun also arrived with his troops.  The two sides joined forces and their military strength was greatly strengthened.  Seeing the mighty power of the Sui army, everyone felt the courage to fight back to Pyongyang.

    "But it's just an imagination. If the battle has reached this level, I don't know how many people will be slapped in the face. If the battle continues, the imperial court will probably stumble."  Moreover, both Huang Mingzhen and Cai Zhiyun are preparing to wait for Huang Mingyuan to come out, so they will naturally not solve the problem in advance.

    On August 29, all armies successfully crossed the Yalu River and arrived at Wugu City.  At this time, Wugu City was already deserted, and the Sui troops in the city had long returned.

    ??And Huang Mingzhen magically discovered that the emperor had already ordered a class teacher.

    The Ninth Army marched eastwards, with a total of 35,000 men. When Yu Wenshu, Yu Zhongwen and others fled back to Liaodong City, each army checked and found that there were only nearly 100,000 men left, less than one-third of the number when the Sui army set out.  First, tens of thousands of military supplies and equipment were lost.

    Yang Guang was furious. After getting the news, he directly ordered Yuwenshu and others to be detained in chains before Yuwenshu, Yu Zhongwen and others arrived at Liaodong City.

    The other military commanders were also dismissed from their posts and imprisoned.

    It has to be said that Yang Guang likes to cut across the board. Among the armies, not to mention Dugu Lan and Xin Wenli at the rear, even Cui Hongsheng's army was the main force in covering the army's crossing of the Yalu River. However, Yang Guang did not care about these.  All were disposed of together.

    On the contrary, Liu Shilong, the comfort envoy, was not affected at all because he was a civil servant. He patted his butt and returned to Yang Guang.

    After everyone was imprisoned, the generals passed the blame, and everyone put the blame on Yu Zhongwen. They bluntly said that it was Yu Zhongwen who was stubborn and did not listen to dissuasion, which led to the defeat of Sa Shui.  Yang Guang was furious, so Yu Zhongwen was dismissed from his post, investigated and imprisoned in prison.  Yu Wenshu, who was also the leader, was demoted from his official position because he was Yang Guang's favorite, but he was soon released and stayed with him to serve him.

    After the battle was fought like this, Liaodong City was never captured, and the main force advancing eastward was defeated miserably. In fact, the Sui army had no remaining power to continue the fight.

    In addition, everyone had spent more than half a year in Liaodong, and the military rations were about to be exhausted, so Yang Guang had to order to return.

    It has to be said that Yang Guang is really not good at specific command. Just one Liaodong city, hundreds of thousands of troops have been fighting for so long, but the city has not been broken, which is just a joke.

    Before the generals reached Liaodong City, the helpless and resentful Yang Guang took Liuhe City and started his return journey.

    Yang Guang was so high-spirited when he came here, but now he was so depressed.  Yang Guang had led troops to destroy Chen before, but the actual commanders in that battle were Gao Juong and Yang Su.  Later, the northern expedition to the Turks also relied on Huang Mingyuan's command to break the siege.  This battle was actually the first time that Yang Guang had full command of a large-scale war, but the defeat was so disastrous that it hit him hard in the face.  And at this time, without Huang Mingyuan by his side to wipe his ass, it would be impossible to turn defeat into victory.

    Yang Guang himself also had doubts about his commanding ability.

    Now Yang Guang is worried about the outcome of this battle. He spent so much effort to conquer Goguryeo, but ended up with a disastrous defeat. How should he explain to the world?  Yang Guang is not a fool, nor is he a blind common man. No matter how conceited he is, he knows that this battle will have a huge impact on his prestige.

    But Yang Guang had nothing to do.

    The victory or defeat of the war is not something he can control.

    Everyone began to retreat one after another, each one as dejected as a defeated rooster.  Until now, no one understands how the powerful Sui Dynasty failed.

    Yang Guang¡¯s Liuhe City crossed the Liaohe River and arrived at Tongding Town (the administrative seat is now Liaobin Tower Village, northeast of Xinmin City, Liaoning Province).

    Tongding Town is the Wuliluo City of Goguryeo. At this time, the army returned to the west and all retreated to the west of the Liao River. The only result of the battle was Wuliluo City.

    Yang Guang then renamed the city Tongding City, established Liaodong County and Tongding Town, and stationed troops.

    Just when Yang Guang was dejected, the news sent by Huang Mingzhen, Cai Zhiyun, Dugulan and others finally reached Tongding Town.

    At this time, Yang Guang learned that there was an army of nearly 100,000 people near Yalu River.

    Yang Guang was overjoyed when he heard that Huang Mingzhen, Cai Zhiyun and other troops had survived and defeated Goguryeo, which cleared away the gloomy mood of the past few days.  It has to be said that on the battlefield, the most inspiring thing is always victory.  When the news came before, there was no news about Huang Mingzhen and others. Yang Guang originally thought that Huang Mingzhen and others were trapped in Goguryeo, and was worried about how to tell Huang Mingyuan about this. Unexpectedly, Huang Mingzhen and others were indeed Huang Mingyuan's younger brothers, and they did not disappoint him.  .

    As for the letters from Huang Mingzhen and others, they include Huang Mingzhen, DuguYang Guang still believed in Wang Rengong, Xin Wenli, and Cai Zhiyun, who represented Youtunwei and Zuowuwei.

    This is the only blessing among all the misfortunes this time.

    Yang Guang immediately asked people to write a big book about this matter in order to promote it.  It is hoped that this incident will overshadow the previous defeat of Sa Shui.  Therefore, a group of literati boasted about Huang Mingzhen, Cai Zhiyun and others, which actually made everyone's reputation even higher.

    Yang Guang then ordered that Dugu Lan be granted the title of Duke of Yu.

    Although Dugu Lan did not have much credit in this battle, he had the highest official position among all the people, and Yang Guang also planned to use Dugu Lan to divide the Dugu family, so he created a duke.

    ? Huang Mingzhen was moved to the second rank, Dr. Zuo Guanglu, and was granted the title of Marquis of Beiping.

    Huang Mingzhen also became a famous figure because of his official position, and was finally named a marquis.

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    Cai Zhiyun was awarded the second rank Youguanglu Doctor and was promoted to Zuowuwei General;

    Huang Mingli was awarded the title of Third-grade Golden Ziguanglu Doctor and was promoted to General Zuowuwei;

    Yao Junsu was awarded the title of third-grade Jin Ziguanglu doctor, and was moved to Hedong County as the prefect;

    Zuo Tiancheng was awarded the rank of third-grade Jin Ziguanglu doctor, and was promoted to the right Xiaowei general;

    Gao Yuanbei and Zhou Zhongan were awarded the rank of third-grade Yinqing Guanglu doctor, and were promoted to General Hu Benlang of Zuowuwei;

    Zhang Xikang was awarded the title of fourth-grade Zhengyi doctor;

    Xi Ding and Huang Mingpu were awarded the title of Fourth-Rank Tongyi Doctor, and were promoted to Zuowuwei Huyalang General;

    Quanxu and Hulujin were awarded the title of Four-Rank Tongyi Doctor in Zhou Dynasty;

    Xu Wenying was awarded the fifth rank of Zheng, a court official, and was promoted to Zuowu Guards Chief;

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    ¡°In fact, with Cai Zhiyun¡¯s contribution, it would not be an exaggeration to make him a Duke.  It's just that he was just a tiger general and came from a poor family, so he suffered a disadvantage.

    But Cai Zhiyun was very happy. This time he was promoted to General Zuowuwei and became the legitimate commander-in-chief of Zuowuwei.

    As for the other people who returned from the victory in Pyongyang City, because they were the only bright spot of the Ninth Army's eastward crossing, they became the targets of the imperial court's propaganda, and they also received promotions and titles.

    ¡°In fact, if Yang Guang hadn¡¯t announced his withdrawal early, he might have taken advantage of Huang Mingzhen and others¡¯ victory to fight for another two months.

    Yang Guang did not stay long in Tongding Town before he hurriedly returned to Zhuojun. Before he had passed Yuguan, he sent someone to Yanzhou to summon Huang Mingyuan to drive him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
