There is a dense forest at the foot of the mountain which is less than [-] miles north of the Goguryeo city less than [-] miles north of Li Xian's army, and even when the sun rises to the top of the head, there are only a few sparse rays of sunlight The light came in through the gaps in the leaves, and the inside of the forest and the outside of the forest seemed to be two worlds, one bright and the other dark.The borderline of the woods is the junction of light and darkness.

There is a white-fronted tiger that can hurt people in this forest. The Goguryeo hunters in the big city once ventured into the forest to get rid of this scourge.It's just that the forest was too dense and too deep, so the hunters didn't dare to go too far into it, so that they hunted several times without success.Fortunately, the tiger seemed to know that the outside world was not safe, so it didn't come out to act fiercely.When the expeditionary army of the Sui Dynasty went south from the other side of the mountain, the Goguryeo people on the other side of the mountain also hid in the city and did not dare to come out. Gradually, people also forgot the existence of this fierce tiger.

At this time, the tiger was quietly crawling on a wooden shelf, with its eyes closed and smoking.

Yes, smoke.

Because a fire was lit under the skinned tiger, and the tiger that once occupied this forest was bubbling with oil.The aroma is lingering and mouth-watering.

Around the fire, there were eight people sitting around.

The combination of these eight people is enough to affect the structure of a powerful empire.But at this time, these few high-ranking big shots seem to be quite downcast.The clothes on them looked no longer bright, and there was a thick layer of dust on the general's armor.The eight of them stared at the fierce tiger in front of them, but their gazes were a little erratic.

Finally, the person sitting farthest from the grilled tiger sighed, and said two words softly.

"pity."

His beard was already white, and the helmet was placed beside him, so the snow-white long hair on his temples was hanging listlessly. It seemed that the old man looked very lonely.After he said the word pity, he didn't continue, so that several other people's eyes stayed on his face.

"pity?"

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

His name is Yu Wenshu, and he is the No. 30 figure in the powerful imperial army in the west called Great Sui. Not long ago, he was the commander-in-chief of an elite army of [-] soldiers.His family has absolute status and glory in the empire, and the emperor of the empire has a lot of trust in him. It seems that there is no one in the entire court who can replace his position in the emperor's mind.

His influence on the emperor was not even comparable to Nayan Suwei.He was granted the title of Xu Guogong, and he was in charge of state affairs.

But now, he is nothing more than a defeated old man who fled in panic.

Hearing the old man with the white beard on the opposite side say it's a pity, Yu Wenshu laughed at himself and said, "It's a pity indeed."

The white-bearded old man was Xue Shixiong, the general of the left guard of the empire. He looked at Yu Wenshu, smiled and said, "I said it's a pity, but it's a pity that there is no salt. Such a roasted yellow wild animal is much less chewable." It smells so good, so it's a pity. The marshal said it's a pity, so why is it a pity?"

Yu Wenshu was stunned, then shook his head and said: "I said it's a pity, but it's a pity that there is a big city in front of us and its defenses are empty, but you and I are so downcast that we dare not even fight."

Sitting next to him, General Wang Rengong of Zuo Wuwei was afraid that the two of them would cause some unhappiness, so he smiled and said: "We must fight, but we just don't want to fight. Although we have less than [-] troops now, we can take down that city." An isolated city is not a difficult task. As for General Xue’s pity, that’s really a pity, haha.”

Xue Shixiong curled his lips, seeming to disdain Wang Rengong's words.

Wang Rengong knew that he was not likable, if he hadn't stepped forward and failed to rescue in Sashui that day, the army would not have been defeated to such an extent. The 30 elite army has now all turned into a city wall of flesh and blood. Hundreds of thousands of heads were chopped off by the Goguryeo people, and they were pierced with wooden sticks and inserted into the ground, densely packed just like the forest they are in today.

This time, even Yu Wenshu, who had always been nice to him, seemed to have an aversion to him.

"These are not problems. Tiger meat has no salt, but it is meat after all. If you eat it, you will be full. If the city is defeated, many people will die, and the road ahead will be even more difficult. The most important thing now Yes... if we can't catch the guide again, we can only go back the same way."

Jing Yuanheng stood up while speaking, drew out a dagger and rubbed it against his body, and then began to cut flesh.

The tiger meat was not tasty, but it was the hottest meal they had eaten since fleeing north.Jing Yuanheng cut the flesh, and the soldiers standing on the side immediately came to replace him, Jing Yuanheng waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat.

"It's my fault for being reckless. I thought that the Goguryeo people on this side of the mountain would not hide, and it would be no problem to catch a few guides. I didn't expect..."

Yu Wenshu smiled wryly.

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

Zhang Jin said softly.

"Go back the way you came?"

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

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard someone running towards him while shouting from a distance. Several generals looked sideways, and it was Yu Wenzhuo, the other general who was sent out to explore the way before. This person was also a general of the Yuwen family. for trust.

"marshal!"

Yu Wenzhuo couldn't hide the excitement on his face: "When the scouts went to visit the big city again, they found that there were other people spying on the Goguryeo city defenses, and the scouts followed carefully. Who do you think wants to attack the big city? "

"Say it directly!"

Yu Wenshu frowned.

Yu Wenzhuo was excited: "It's Yanyun! Just forty miles to the south of the big city, there are soldiers and horses from our Great Sui Dynasty, at least 2 people!"

"what!"

Yu Wenshu stood up abruptly, and asked incredulously, "Say it again, is it really Yan Yun?"

"It's absolutely true! The scouts looked carefully, and it was indeed the banner of Yan Zi, and the scouts saw Yan Yun riding that big black horse and leading people to patrol the camp!"

Because of excitement, Yu Wenzhuo's voice trembled.

"Yan Yun...he actually saved so many soldiers and horses?!"

Yu Wenshu also got excited, he grabbed Yu Wenzhuo's arm and asked: "There are really more than [-] people?"

"Ha ha!"

Xue Shixiong laughed and said: "I just said that kid should not be underestimated. Let me ask you, have the scouts seen my son Xue Wanche? Now it's all right. With Yanyun's 2 horses, even if you go back the same way Liaodong, the Goguryeo people on the road ahead dare not stop them!"

"Yes, the scouts saw the flag of General Xue."

Yu Wenshu was overjoyed and said: "There is no unparalleled road in the sky! There is no unparalleled road in the sky! The old man knows that we will never be trapped by a group of Goguryeo barbarians! Come on, come on, and call Yan Yun for me." No! General Yan is here to meet you!"

"and many more"

Wang Rengong stopped the excited Yu Wenshu, and said cautiously: "Yanyun really has more than 2 horses, how could he appear here? There are more than 2 soldiers who can fight, and the Goguryeo people on the way forward dare not do anything at all. With this strength, Yanyun Why didn't Yun go back the same way?"

"This……"

Yu Wenshu froze, then suddenly woke up: "You mean?"

Wang Rengong nodded and said, "It is imperative to be on guard against others!"

In an instant, Xue Shixiong was so angry that his face turned pale. He threw the tiger meat that Jing Yuanheng handed to him before to the ground, pointed at Wang Rengong's nose and cursed: "Little man! Do you want to say that the old man's son Wan Che also has meat?" That thought!"

"what?"

Wang Rengong was stunned, and quickly explained: "Little General Xue definitely won't do it. I just said that it is necessary to be on guard against others. I never said that Yan Yun really has any ulterior motives."

Xue Shixiong said angrily: "General Wang, if you can return to Liaodong, no matter what, His Majesty will accuse you of the crime of retreating from the battle and failing to rescue you!"

Seeing Xue Shixiong raised his beard in anger, suddenly there was another chaos in the distance.The soldiers in the distance on the right suddenly burst into cheers, the voice was loud, and I don't know what happy event made everyone so excited.Yu Wenshu said angrily: "Go, see what happened!"

Just as the soldiers were going to check, they saw a group of people galloping from afar.A few people led the way, followed by a dozen or so Sui soldiers whose clothes didn't look too dirty.

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

Li Shan, the leader of the army, shouted excitedly while running.

"Reinforcements? What reinforcements?"

Several generals looked at each other.

At this time, the dozen or so people following saw Yu Wenshu bowed down, and the person in front shouted loudly: "The humble post is Zhao An, the scout team under the captain's son-in-law, and I pay my respects to the marshal!"

"What did you say?"

When Yu Wenshu heard the words "Captain Prince Consort", he became dizzy and nearly fell to the ground.Wang Rengong quickly stepped forward to support him, and asked equally excitedly: "You mean, the captain-in-law has led an army to meet him?"

Zhao An said: "Half a month ago, His Majesty ordered the son-in-law to lead [-] cavalry to go south to meet the Marshal's army!"

"Ha ha!"

Wang Rengong laughed loudly and said, "This is the true path to heaven!"

……

……

"Followed?"

Li Xian asked with a smile.

Chen Que'er nodded and said: "I followed, I didn't expect to meet
