On the fifth day of Zhao Guogong's siege of Anshi City, the logistics food and medicinal materials finally arrived.
Zhao Guogong didn't ask why they were late, he directly chopped off the logistics officer who was escorting them, and then hung them outside the tent.
The emperor did not comment on this, but when this happened, everyone tensed up, especially the logistics officers.
When the news got out, the logistics officer who was still escorting the things on the road immediately tightened his skin and tried every means to rush to the front line.
Maybe they have a reason for being late, but for being late for so long, they must have their own selfish motives, and they didn't work hard enough.
In the final analysis, the knife on the neck is too high, not low enough.
Who doesn't tie his head to his belt on the front line? The soldiers need to work hard to survive, so if they are like the soldiers on the front line, they will naturally try their best to deliver the things.
The logistics were late for so long, and to put it lightly, it was a delay of the fighter plane. If it weren't for the urgent need for people, Zhao Guogong would have killed them all.
Not to mention that some of the items have been replaced.
However, the medicinal materials from the Imperial Medical Office were not replaced. Man Bao got the medicinal materials and immediately replaced the fresh medicinal materials used before, but some soldiers could not bear the excessive blood loss.
After all, the medicinal materials they dug up are limited, and some are only suitable for trauma, not for internal bleeding.
Man Bao could only watch the person's stomach swell up, and finally died with a big belly vomiting blood. If there is medicine, she can't use it to stop the bleeding. She can also make a small gash in the stomach. Rescue after laparotomy to stop bleeding.
It is also because of this that every time Man Bao passed by the gate of Daying, he tried his best not to look at the people hanging on it, and walked into Daying expressionlessly.
Because the weather was getting colder and Anshi City could not be attacked for a long time, the atmosphere in the camp was not very good.
Ashina suggested: "Your Majesty, I would like to lead an army deep and attack from behind."
The emperor shook his head, "No, there are at least 100,000 troops in Anshi City, and they can easily cut off your retreat."
It was also because of this that he did not agree to divide the army, and he did not want to use his soldiers to kill their numbers.
The emperor pondered, "I don't know where Feng Liang and the others have gone."
Feng Liang was just taking down Shicheng at this time, and was hesitating whether to go north to Anshi City or east to Dahang City.
The former can meet with His Majesty, and the latter can go deeper into the Kingdom of Goguryeo. Maybe it can go directly to the domestic city or Pyongyang. In that way, it is the real victory of Goguryeo.
General Qiu, Feng Liang's deputy general, said: "General Manager, go north, it's too deep to go east."
Feng Liang hesitated, but if he went east and captured the inner city in one fell swoop, he would be able to destroy Goguryeo, which would be a great achievement.
General Qiu wanted to be more on the safe side, and said to him: "The weather is getting colder, and Anshi City and Jian'an City are both big cities. The Goguryeo royal family will definitely do their best to protect these two cities. If your majesty can't attack for a long time, he will definitely retreat. , if we go east and go deep into Goguryeo, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get out.”
Feng Liang lowered his eyes and thought.
General Qiu continued to persuade: "My lord, our wounded soldiers will not last long."
Their team has no logistics. From the moment they entered Beisha City, they were supporting their battles. Every time they broke through a city, they searched for food and medicinal materials. All the medicines and medicinal materials were burned, and I would rather burn them than leave them.
Feng Liang stared at the map, and said after a while: "How sure can we bypass Jian'an City and go to Anshi City?"
General Qiu was about to speak, when Feng Liang shook his head and said: "The journey is good, we will go to the domestic cities. Since they want to protect these two cities, they will definitely send a large number of reinforcements. If that is the case, we will encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, and send troops from Anshi City. and Jian'an City to lead to the domestic city."
"But in that case we will be cut off."
"As long as His Majesty can break through Anshi City quickly, he will be able to drive into the encirclement. At that time, it is not certain who will win."
General Qiu felt that this was too risky.
But Feng Liang said: "Wealth and wealth are in danger, let everyone pack up and go to Dahang City tomorrow. There must not be many defenders in this place. We don't like fighting, and we will leave when we collect enough medicinal materials and food."
General Qiu opened his mouth, unable to utter any objection.
Feng Liang is the chief manager, he has the final say on this matter.
The reason why His Majesty appointed Feng Liang to be the chief marching officer of Pyongyang Road is because he is steady and rational, leading the army deep, and will not rush forward, but how is he steady and rational now
Feng Liang said: "Go and invite Imperial Physician Zheng here."
Doctor Zheng is unshaven and has long since lost his previous spirit, his eyes are all dark.
He looked at Feng Liang expressionlessly.
Feng Liang's attitude towards him was good. They attacked along the way, and their losses were not big. Naturally, there was the reason why Goguryeo did not expect them to attack by sea, but there was also the reason why Zheng Taiyi and a group of students from the Imperial Medical Office accompanied the army, and the death of the wounded soldiers The rate is not high, and those with minor and moderate injuries will soon be able to return to the battlefield again.
Plus the soldiers they captured along the way, enough.
Feng Liang asked Imperial Physician Zheng, "How many medicinal materials are there? Our next city is Dahang City, and we can replenish medicinal materials after entering."
Imperial Physician Zheng reported the list in detail and asked, "Aren't we going to attack Pyongyang directly?"
Feng Liangdao: "Your Majesty sent a letter saying that Baekje is unwilling to send troops, and that Pyongyang has been defeated and no one is defending it, so I plan to go to the inner city."
Although Baekje is unwilling to send troops, Silla has sent some soldiers and horses. At this time, they are fighting from the east to Pyongyang, which can also contain part of the troops.
Goguryeo is in a miserable state at this time. They don't understand how things will develop like this. Obviously, the five princes have already written to say that Da Jin has expressed his willingness to negotiate peace. Why did he turn around and send troops to them
Losing the city and land one after another, the Gao royal family was also very angry, and then they couldn't help blaming each other, "I said a long time ago, don't provoke Da Jin, don't provoke Da Jin, why don't you listen?"
"This war was provoked by Da Jin first, Your Majesty, how can you blame us?"
"If you hadn't sent troops to attack Yingzhou, how could this matter have happened?"
"Because of Xinluo's instigation, Dajin has long been dissatisfied with us. Even if we don't make a move, they will not let us go. It's better to strike first."
"We did it first, but where is the strength now?"
"Your Majesty, send someone to ask for peace."
"We have to send troops to defend Anshi City. Liaodong City has already been destroyed, and if Anshi City is destroyed again, we will have no city that can resist them."
"There is still an army wandering in our Goguryeo Kingdom. I don't know where it is at this time. They must be wiped out, otherwise most of them will be in danger."
Alas, it's so sad, life is going well, why do you have to provoke Da Jin
The emperor was also looking at the map and pondering, "I don't know if Feng Liang will come to Anshi City, or continue north to the domestic city, or go south to Pyongyang."
It is not good to be separated by such a large enemy area and ocean, and it is difficult to transmit information.
Yin Li and Feng Liang are familiar. After all, they often deal with each other because of their work, so they can be regarded as friends. After a little thought, he said: "Feng Shangshu may go to the inner city."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and stared at the inner city.
