Qu Tutong committed suicide and died. Hundreds of his subordinates all showed their determination to die and howled sadly. They raised their swords and launched a desperate charge towards the Sui army. They were killed by Xue Rengui's order to shoot arrows.
Looking at the fallen Tang soldiers in front of him, Xue Rengui couldn't help but feel respectful, ordered them to be buried richly, and quickly gathered the elite to go straight north to pursue Li Shimin.
However, at this time, Li Shimin had already led most of the Tang army to cross the Yellow River. When Xue Rengui led the army to attack, there were only less than 20,000 Tang troops left at the Yellow River crossing. The generals of the Tang army had already crossed the Yellow River. The Tang army that remained on the south bank was leaderless and was immediately defeated by the Sui army. Thousands of those who resisted were killed, and the rest were all made prisoners of the Sui army.
. . . . . . . . . .
Just as the Battle of Luoyang came to an end, a huge change was also taking place in Goguryeo, thousands of miles away.
In the Battle of Qingzhou, all 50,000 Goguryeo soldiers and horses were annihilated by the Sui army, except for the commander Yeon Gaesumun who luckily escaped. Yeongaesomun, who originally came across the sea, had to take a detour to Hebei and return to Goguryeo because all the boats anchored along the coast were captured by the Sui army.
But at this time, the three forces of Youzhou Torei, Wanyan Aguda, Sui Jun Zhang Xun, and Luo Yi were competing, and the war continued. Among them, the Sui army had long been at odds with Goguryeo, and Wanyan Agu launched an army in Liaodong, and had many battles with General Ulji Wende, and was an enemy rather than a friend of Goguryeo.
Yuengai Suwen knew what would happen to him if he fell into the hands of the Sui army or Wanyan Agu's thugs, so he was cautious along the way and tried to take the less traveled mountain trails to avoid the forces of all parties.
However, the terrain of the forest trails is complicated, and the people of Youzhou were almost dead in the war. Did Yeon Gaesumun have a guide to lead the way? Within a few days, Yeon Gaesumun lost his way in the forest. , stumbled for nearly two months before returning to Goguryeo.
Goguryeo, under the city of Anshi.
At this time, Yeon Gaesumun had long lost his former glory, his hair was gray and dirty, his armor was in tatters, and there were many wounds on his thighs and arms. However, these scars were not caused by humans, but by wild beasts in the forest. But it was precisely because of these wild beasts that Yeon Gaesumun survived. Otherwise, Yeongaesumun would have starved to death in the forest for two months.
After the city gate defenders confirmed Yeon Gaesumun's identity, they hurried back to report to the city lord.
Not long after, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and a group of knights came galloping over. When he arrived in front of Yeon Gae Su Wen, he turned over and dismounted.
Among the knights, the leader is about six feet tall, with dark complexion and ordinary appearance, except for a pair of bright eyes.
This person was Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, who was born out of chaos. His implanted identity was a trusted general of Yuan Gaisuwen's father, Yuan Taizuo, and his implanted name in this life was Cao De.
Cao Cao dismounted his horse and walked quickly to Yuan Gaisu Wen, and asked in a low voice: "Is your body okay, young master?"
Yeon Gaesumun glanced at this man, frowned slightly, and asked: "Cao De, if you don't stay with my father in the royal city, why are you here?"
Cao Cao smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Back to my young master, more than two months ago, the news of the Battle of Qingzhou spread back to the country. My lord has been worried when he heard that the whereabouts of his young master was unknown, so he sent his general to the border to inquire about the young master's news. "
"That's it!" Yuengai Suwen nodded slowly.
Cao Ren, who was beside Cao Cao, slowly stepped forward and said with a smile on his face: "Young Master has had a hard journey. We have already prepared a small amount of wine in the city to calm the young Master's shock."
Seeing the respectful and flattering faces of Cao Cao and his entourage, Yeon Gaesumun could not help but relax secretly as he fled all the way. He chuckled and said, "I have been sleeping in the open air on this journey, and I am really exhausted. In this case, I will stay here first." Have a good day’s rest.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao had an imperceptible sneer on his face, stretched out his hand, and a soldier behind him came over with a horse.
Cao Cao said to Yuengai Suwen with a respectful face: "Young master, please come quickly!"
Yuengai Suwen laughed, got on his horse with a proud face, and walked slowly into the city surrounded by Cao Cao and his party.
At the moment Yeon Gaesumun rode his horse into the city gate, his originally proud face suddenly changed because he felt a fierce murderous aura suddenly coming from behind him.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Xu Chu has entered the state of killing. The force is +7, the base force is 98, and the current force has increased to 105."
Yeon Gaesumun fled all the way from Qingzhou back to Goguryeo. His escape along the way gave him a very sensitive sense of danger. The moment he felt murderous intent, he leaned down almost instinctively.
At this moment, a long knife, accompanied by the sound of howling wind and endless murderous intent, slashed through Yeon Gaesumun's head. As long as Yeon Gaesumun's reaction was half a beat slower, he would have been killed at this moment.
After avoiding Xu Chu's killing blow, Yuan Gaisuwen had no time to think about it, grabbed a long spear from the hands of the soldiers beside him, and stabbed it with his back hand. Seeing this, Xu Chu hurriedly reined in his horse and took a few steps back.
"Cao De, what do you want to do?"
Yeon Gaesumun turned his horse around and realized that the person who had just attacked him with a sword was the personal guard who had been standing next to Cao Cao. He immediately reprimanded him sharply.
At this moment, Cao Cao's face no longer had the respect he had shown before, and he looked ferocious. He looked at Yuan Gaisuwen and sneered: "What are you doing? Young Master, of course Cao is going to send you on your way!"
Yeon Gae Suwen was furious when he heard this: "How dare you? My father will not let you go!"
"Hahaha, young master, I'm so sorry. After your father, Mr. Molizhi, learned the news of the Battle of Qingzhou two months ago, he couldn't bear the blow and died!"
Cao Cao laughed loudly and said: "You two, father and son, have controlled the government for many years. Your Majesty has long wanted to get rid of you. Mr. Mo Lizhi suddenly died of illness, and your whereabouts are unknown. Several of your brothers and uncles are fighting for power." They were killing each other, but I, Cao, took the opportunity to join forces with you and catch them all while your Yuan family was fighting among themselves. Now you are the last living member of the Yuan family."
"What?"
Yeon Gaesumun's expression changed greatly, he pointed at Cao Cao and shouted loudly: "Cao De, you ungrateful villain, I, Yeon Gaesumun, will tear you into pieces!"
"You no longer have this chance!"
Cao Cao's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he waved his hand behind him and said: "Come together and kill him!"
Behind Cao Cao, five generals, Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Yu Jin, and Yue Jin, clapped their horses and came forward. Although Yeon Gaesumun was highly skilled in martial arts, he was tired from traveling long distances, hungry and cold, and his physical strength had already reached its limit.
After being besieged by Xu Chu and other five generals for less than twenty rounds, Xu Chu saw a flaw and chopped his horse off with a single sword.
