Yuan Gaisuwen put the letter in his hand into the brazier, and his face felt as if dead.

The situation facing the spy has been conveyed through Black Hawk. With the death of Ochi Tadao, the overall plan has completely failed.

Even so far, Yoon Gassuwen still couldn't figure out why.

The grain transport troops led by Li Yuanai were able to cross the Liao River and Xiao Liao River that allowed them to destroy the bridge in a short time, resulting in all previous efforts being wasted.

In the current situation, he no longer sees any chance to win.

It is crucial that we cannot discuss with others at the moment. Once the news spreads, the already questioned prestige will disappear.

In this situation, if there is civil strife again, everything will be fine.

Yuan Gai Suwen suddenly had an idea and found the letter from Yizhi Zhongwu to him a few days ago. He ran out of the tent and came to the camp wall. With a whistle, he shouted the black eagle, put the letter on his feet, and directed it to patrol the Tang army.

Yuan Gaisuwen looked at the Black Hawk and made a blessing gesture with both hands.

"God Fuxi bless your people!"

At this time, Yuan Gaisuwen could only beg God to appear.

Most of the faith in Goguryeo originated from the myths and legends of the Central Plains, such as the Four Gods, Fuxi Nuwa, Shennong, Prince Qiao, the Immortal of the Crane, and the God of the Sun and Moon. It is only because of the development of Taoism and Buddhism, the faith has become the Three Pure Land and Four Imperials, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and the Four Gods, Fuxi Nuwa, and Shennong, and they are only regarded as sages rather than gods. Only a few places worship these sages.

Yuan Gaisuwen had no idea that the great god Fuxi he worshiped was born in China.

Yaluzha East and West Coast.

Li Shimin dressed like a rice dumpling, sitting next to the brazier to keep warm.

His Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, did not have a good life. His beard was ragged and there was still some residual oil on his face. Obviously, he did not wipe it so well.

At the beginning, Li Shimin still paid great attention to image, washing, tidying his hair and taking care of his beard every day.

But as the day became colder, Li Shimin couldn't stand it anymore.

I had to put my hair into a tidy body, and as soon as I opened the tent, I had not walked ten steps, and the beards on my temples were covered with ice. The face washed with hot water made the biting cold wind blew, and it hurt like a knife, and even opened the hole.

The more you pay attention to, the more you dress up, the more you suffer.

Instead, he ignored it and let the oil and dirt on his face be covered with a layer of it, which can resist wind and cold.

Li Shimin was unable to suffer the benefits of being sloppy and did not care about anything.

The others are not much different from Changsun Wuji, Li Daozong, and Li Ji.

One by one, the unparalleled generals, like refugees, were wearing various thick coats and gathered next to the brazier.

As for Ma Zhou, who came with him, he fell ill directly because the scholar was weak and fell ill in bed.

There is another person next to him, Gao Shengsheng.

The northern part of Goguryeo, Nusa, was directly defeated by the Tang army and was defeated and begged to Li Shimin and surrendered.

Li Shimin happened to have a local man as a guide and directly promoted Gao Yanshou to the Sima of the Army, making him a counselor beside him.

Gao Yanshou is not much better. He shrinks himself into a ball and tries to lean on the charcoal fire as much as possible. He looks at the charcoal fire with his numb eyes and loses his mind.

Li Shimin felt even more uncomfortable when he saw Gao Yanshou.

A long time ago, when the first round of the Northeast was in the first round, he asked Gao Yanshou: "Are you Goguryeo people born not afraid of the cold?"

As the commander of the three armies, he must know the difference between Goguryeo and them in the cold winter.

Gao Yanshou's answer surprised Li Shimin.

"We rarely hunt and fish in winter. Whether officials or the people, most of them avoid the cold at home. They all misunderstand how we are cold-resistant, but we are also humans, afraid of heat and cold. Many people will die of cold every winter, but we are used to this climate and prepare for winter in advance every year. As for marching, as far as I know, Goguryeo has not recorded any military operations in winter since the founding of Jumeng. This time, His Majesty has not retreated, which has already made the Yuangaisu-wen messed up."

Li Shimin then felt relieved.

There is no doubt that Goguryeo is more cold-resistant than them, but it is only relatively speaking. What should be cold will still be cold, so that the Tang army will not tremble in the cold and cannot wield their swords. But Goguryeo has nothing to do, such a fatal situation.

Li Shimin took a sip of the warm snow waterway: "Gao Sima is in the north of Nossa. Do you know that the Liao River and the Xiaoliao Water Bridge are destroyed, and there are other routes to transport grain?"

Gao Yanshou said without hesitation: "No more, building too many bridges will be unfavorable to us. When Yizhi Wende first guarded Liaodong, he repeatedly emphasized that the Liaoshui River cannot be built, nor can it be built. A wooden bridge that can be removed at any time will facilitate the safety of Liaodong."

Li Shimin said with a solemn expression: "Just just received the news that the Liaoshui River and the Xiaoliao River bridge were demolished."

Gao Yanshou thought for a moment and exclaimed: "Yezhi Zhongwu?"

Li Shimin frowned slightly and said, "Who is Yizhi Zhongwu?"

Gao Yanshou looked a little panicked and said, "Yezhi Zhongwu is the grandson of my Goguryeo military god Yizhi Wende. Yizhi Zhongwu is the most famous rising star in Goguryeo. He was just disagreeing with the Liaodong city lord and was suppressed. It was Yeon Gaisuwen who transferred him to Pyongyang City and became his arm. This time he gathered in the camp. No wonder he arranged a task for him early in the morning."

Li Shimin knew what Gao Yanshou was talking about.

After Gao Yanshou surrendered, he was quite dedicated and answered questions and questions.

Yuan Gaisuwen built camps in Yaluzha and Goguryeo's troops deployment. He also talked about the strategic purpose of Yuan Gaisuwen's strengthening walls and clearing the fields and stretching the grain road.

Although Li Shimin saw Yuan Gai Suwen's plan early in the morning, Gao Yanshou's detailed explanation also shows that Gao Yanshou did sincerely submit.

But no one expected that Yuan Gaisuwen had this trick hidden, and actually hid a small army of thousands of people in the mountains and forests west of Liaodong.

To be fair, if Yuan Gaisuwen had demolished the bridge of the Liao River and the Xiao Liao River from the beginning.

The Tang army will probably return to the army to reorganize the army in eight out of ten. It is another matter whether to retreat or not. It is inevitable to withdraw from Liaodong for repair.

If the food supply is unstable, how can we be qualified to penetrate deep into the enemy's hinterland?

Li Shimin asked: "In this way, is this Eji Chungwu still a character?"

Gao Yanshou said truthfully: "It's really unbearable. When he fought for Silla, he performed well and won a lot of territory. However, not long ago, he seemed to have suffered a loss and was punished by a Silla named Jin Gengxin."

Li Shimin continued to ask: "I just got the news that the Liaoshui Bridge has been demolished to an unknown team, and the grain transport team led by the Shang king was trapped on the west bank of the Liaoshui River. What should you do with your understanding of the Liaoshui River?"

Gao Yanshou answered again without hesitation: "You can only renovate the wooden bridge."

Changsun Wuji interjected and asked: "From the map, there is a rocky beach that can be passed down through the Liao River. Our army's conquest this time and invaded Liaodong, where did we go."

Gao Yanshou shook his head and said, "No, no, it's a trap. It's a trap left by Wende of Yizhi. There are many strange rocks on the rocks and rocks, and it's extremely difficult for the army to move around and cannot be used. The water flow over there is extremely fast. As long as there are 1800 people guarding the other side, even a hundred thousand troops will not be able to cross the river. You have passed by the Liaoshui River before, but it's because the speed is too fast, and the Liaodong defenders will not be able to react. Otherwise, as long as soldiers are sent to defend and rely on the terrain, even if the powerful soldiers of the Celestial Empire are the best in the world, they will not be able to cross the river."

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji looked at Li Ji at the same time.

Li Ji nodded slightly, but it was as Gao Yanshou said.

Li Shimin closed his eyes and calculated that there were pine forests upstream of the Liao River, and the upstream was logged and transported to the bridge beside the Liaoshui Bridge. The river water was cold and the construction period was not fast, at least twenty days.

He asked about Xiao Liaoshui again.

The situation of the Xiaoliao River is better than that of the Liao River. After all, the river bank of the tributary is not wide and the water flow is not turbulent, which can shorten the time by half.

Li Shimin murmured in a low voice, "These two rivers will delay for 30 days, plus the time from Jicheng to Anshicheng, from Anshicheng like mountains and forests to Yaluzha, it will harass you along the way..."

His expression became more and more serious. No matter how long it took to transport food, it would take more than two and a half months.

Changsun Wuji also understood the crisis of the situation from these repeated inquiries and said, "This Yuan Gaisuwen is more powerful than we imagined. This move has plotted us all in. I really didn't expect that he was so brave that he pushed the entire Goguryeo up... He only wanted to win a big victory, not to force him back."

He paused and said, "We have enough food now. The Shang King conservatively estimated that it would take two months to deliver the food and grass. This does not include an accident..."

The Tang army's grain protection team had only 2,000 soldiers, and the opponent was more than 1,000, and the strength gap was not big.

If you are not careful, you will have nothing.

Li Daozong gave a conservative answer: "If it really doesn't work, go back to Anshi City? Renovate the city in Anshi City and wait for the spring next year to advance again."

Li Ji gritted his teeth and said, "It is easy to retreat. It is not easy for us to retreat again."

Retreat does not mean losing, but once this aura is lost, it will be difficult to recover it again.

At the same time, their retreat was equivalent to boosting the morale of Goguryeo and giving them a sense of confidence to win.

One rises and the other falls, and the Tang army will also face severe tests.

Li Ji suddenly asked, "Do you think the content in this letter is true? Is it an accident or intention?"

Changsun Wuji said: "We have lost contact with the rear now, and the relationship between Your Majesty and the Crown Prince has been cut off. It is hard to say anything else, but judging from the current situation, the Liaoshui Bridge and the Xiaoliao Water Bridge have indeed been destroyed. Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the content of the letter is credible, but I don't know whether the Shang King can overcome all this and deliver the food and grass on time. If he cannot deliver it, our army will be in danger."
