    The main force of the Sui army crossed the Yalu River and headed further and further south.

    Not long after leaving, Yu Zhongwen felt something was wrong. The combat effectiveness of the Goguryeo army was not as good as that of the Sui army, but it would not collapse at the first touch.  And more importantly, Ulji Munduk's main force of more than 100,000 troops has been retreating. There has never been a real decisive battle with the Sui army, nor has it even fought a strong defensive battle. It is really inconsistent with common sense.

    At this time, Yu Zhongwen vaguely felt in his heart that he was afraid that he had fallen into Goguryeo's trick to lure the enemy.

    Yu Zhongwen can be said to be a rare general in the Sui Dynasty. He had great ambitions, extraordinary temperament, did not avoid strong attacks, and was unparalleled in his judgment.  When Yu Chijun's rebellion was put down, Yu Zhongwen used eight thousand to defeat one hundred thousand, and captured Yuchi Jung's powerful general Xi Piluo alive. At this time, Huang Mingyuan was not born yet.

    Yu Zhongwen quickly sent out scouts to conduct reconnaissance in all directions, looking for the main force of the Goguryeo army.  Unexpectedly, the Sui army's scouts were strongly blocked by the Goguryeo people and suffered heavy casualties.

    Yu Zhongwen looked at the map and suddenly had an idea, whether the main force of Goguryeo was around the Sui army, but it had been avoiding the battle.

    Yu Zhongwen was startled by his own thoughts. If this was true, it meant that he had been surrounded by the Goguryeo people and the situation had reached a dangerous point.  Otherwise, the other party would not block their reconnaissance so forcefully.

    Yu Zhongwen wanted to retreat immediately. The battle had reached this point, which was far beyond everyone's expectations.  At this time, the enemy is dark and we are clear, and we are in a foreign country. If something goes wrong, hundreds of thousands of troops will be put in danger.  But if you retreat now, it is very likely that you will jump out of the opponent's encirclement before the opponent's encirclement is completed and disrupt the opponent's arrangement.  Since the Goguryeo people wanted to lure the enemy deeper and retreat to Wugu City, the opponent's plan completely failed.

    But Yu Zhongwen soon vetoed the matter.  It was his own decision to go deep into Goguryeo, and he even broke up with Yu Wenshu over this. Retreating at this time would not be a slap in the face to himself. By then, I am afraid that the responsibility for the futile expedition will be pushed to  You can imagine the consequences for yourself.

    And after all, this is just my own guess and has no basis.  Now the army is fighting successively and victorious, and the morale of each army is high. If it suddenly retreats at this time, what will the soldiers think?  Everyone came to Goguryeo to perform meritorious service, so if he retreated like this, he might offend countless people to death.

    There are some things that Yu Zhongwen, as the commander of the army, cannot do.

    It cannot be withdrawn under any circumstances.

    Yu Zhongwen kept telling himself that the Goguryeo people had been defeated in battles and defeated thousands of miles away, so there was no room for them to ambush him again.  Moreover, Yu Zhongwen thought that he had more than 200,000 capable and skilled soldiers, which was his greatest support.  In his opinion, even if the Goguryeo people may have ambushed elite soldiers and generals, he still has more than 200,000 troops, which is enough to cope with any situation.

    Regarding the ambush of the Goguryeo people, Yu Zhongwen was actually not very worried in his heart. This was also the reason why he dared not to retreat.

    Yu Zhongwen did not retreat. At this time, the Sui army, which was dazzled by the victory, couldn't help but be overjoyed because of the consecutive days of great victories.  Continuous victories have made it impossible for them to think about whether the opponent's defeat may be a matter of disguise.

    Because of the continuous victory, everyone even walked much more briskly.

    The army crossed the Yalu River and the Sa River in succession and headed towards Pyongyang City.  At this time, Yu Zhongwen and Yu Wenshu didn't know the news about Lai Hu'er's defeat, otherwise they wouldn't be so optimistic.

    The army advanced to a place more than thirty miles north of Pyongyang City and set up camp based on the mountains.  At this time, it was not that the Sui army was making preparations for the attack, but that the Sui army could no longer move.

    For more than a month, the army has traveled long distances and been severely exhausted. Today, the army has very little food, grass and baggage, and it is impossible to maintain it.

    Finally, the first army that ran out of food appeared. Zhang Jin's Xiangping Army ran out of food and asked the commander Yu Zhongwen for the allocation of food and grass.

    Zhang Jin¡¯s request confused Yu Zhongwen.  In order to ease transportation before the war, each ministry had already allocated food and grass and even distributed it to every soldier.  At this time, Zhang Jin came to ask for food and grass. Isn't it a joke?

    But Zhang Jin was helpless. The troops he commanded were mainly soldiers from the Huainan and Jiangnan areas. These people didn't know how to use the northern wheelbarrows, let alone horses.  Moreover, there is a slight difference in overall height between southerners and northerners, so these people are the first to throw away food and grass.  In everyone's mind, the Chinese Army has food and grass anyway, and even if their own is gone, they can still go to the Chinese Army to get it, which is why they are in this situation.

    "Zhang Jin, you turned a deaf ear to what I told you when we set out. Now that the army rations have been lost and the army is about to collapse, you deserve death."

      Yuwenshu slapped the table and scolded Zhang Jin severely.

    Because Zhang Jin often worked under Yuwenshu, he was most afraid of Yuwenshu.  Yuwenshu's stern voice almost made him tremble.

    "Mr. Xu, it is not the general who is incompetent. These Huainan barbarians are very tough. They draw their swords at every turn. The general does not dare to push too hard."

    Perhaps recalling the previous mutiny of the Fuyu Army, Yu Wenshu snorted coldly and said nothing.

    Yu Zhongwen followed Zhang Jin to the Xiangping Army to investigate the situation. At this time, the Xiangping Army was about to have lunch.  A middle-aged man who looked like a cook came to the crowd carrying a large wooden bucket. Upon seeing this, a group of soldiers immediately swarmed in and surrounded him.

    "Don't crowd, just one spoon per person."

    "This is fucking porridge again, just for the beggars."

    The soldier had a wild temper. When he saw the bowl was filled with clear water and a few grains of rice cakes floating in the bowl, he immediately became angry.  One soldier even threw his bowl angrily, pointed at the cook's nose and cursed.

    The cook was mentally prepared and said, "What do you want me to do if I don't have food? Otherwise, you eat me. Besides, I don't care how long it has been since you handed me food. It will be good to have these gruels. In two days  Not even gruel.¡±

    After saying that, the guy turned around and left regardless of everyone's faces.

    Yu Zhongwen stepped forward and called the cook to stop. Looking at the residue left in his bucket, it turned out that it was all pure water and there were very few rice grains.

    At this time, Zhang Jin on the side said: "General, if it were not forced, I would not open this mouth, but there is really no way, the soldiers have been hungry for two or three days."

    Yu Zhongwen sighed and said, "Let's go to the camp to move some food later."

    At this time, a soldier was hit and the soup was spilled.  The soldier looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, still a child. He was so hungry that he lay on the ground and licked the few scattered rice crackers.

    Yu Zhongwen¡¯s eyes were slightly red, but he didn¡¯t speak in the end.

    Back in the army, Yu Zhongwen quickly ordered all ministries to report their existing food reserves. As expected, each ministry only had a few days of food and grass, which was not enough to sustain them.

    At this time, Yu Zhongwen finally despaired. God would not let him break Goguryeo.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
