Chapter 98
: The Night of Dryness
Standing on the city tower, Chen Kefu looked at the dark night outside the city with a complicated expression. It was pitch black and silently without any movement. But Chen Kefu knew that it would not take long to see a horse's hooves shook the sky, and an army came from the south. He was a snake or a dragon, all of which was seen.
After patrolling the whole city, the entire Liaodong city had become quiet, and only the people were still searching and cleaning up in groups of three or three. Hundreds of thousands of people were holding torches, and no one fell asleep. Everyone was excited to plunder the wealth in the city. In the former Goguryeo barracks in the north of the city, a flat ground here was already filled with spoils seized from all over the city.
On the other side, the open space was full of Goguryeo women and children, and some of them were not Goguryeo, but the men in their family were basically involved in the battle to defend the city. At this time, all the men had been killed, and even the elderly were killed, leaving only these women under the age of thirty and those children who were only tall and tall.
All the surviving people were still frightened, pale, and they squatted on the ground and cried with their heads. No one sympathized with the Sui people guarding not far away. This was not a civil war in the Central Plains, but a fight between different races, and the losers would become slaves or even a species of destruction. How many ethnic groups perished like this? Compared with the wars of the Central Plains, those people from the border areas who came from were already familiar with this. In the past, they had destroyed many small tribes in Goguryeo, but they did not expect that one day, such a fate would be their turn.
Mao Yi had been wandering around the city for half a night. Seeing that it was getting late, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young Master, this night attack is another night, another Sucheng, and you have to arrange various tasks. You have been busy all night. There are still many things to be busy with next. Seeing that the war is about to come, you should pay more attention to rest. We have arranged your residence. The former Gao Jianwu's palace in the inner city was not bad, and it is not bad at all than Gao Qi's house in the new city. I have asked your guard to take over that house. The maid Ono Risa, who was left in the camp outside the city, has also taken over. You go and rest first."
Chen Kefu smiled and pointed to the busy Liaodong city and said, "Can you sleep tonight? Although I feel very sleepy, I am very excited. I guess it is impossible for me to sleep tonight. After taking down Liaodong city, which one can sleep? I will go back to that house first. When Luolin, Hu Hai and the others come back, you can call everyone to my place. We will discuss the next thing together. If you don't come up with a countermeasure, you will never be at ease."
Mao Yi also smiled, "What the young master said is, after taking down Liaodong City, who can sleep tonight? Look at those hundreds of thousands of kids, they are like getting married to a wedding chamber tonight, and they are all happy and they are not bothering each other. They are jumping up and down with torches. How could anyone have a trace of sleepiness?"
Gao Jianwu's palace is indeed good. To be precise, this is not Gao Jianwu's palace. Gao Jianwu just led his troops to Liaodong City this year. In the past, this mansion was once the house of a wealthy businessman in Liaodong City. However, after Gao Jianwu arrived in Liaodong, the man presented the house to Gao Jianwu. In a blink of an eye, the mansion changed hands again, and Chen Kefu became the owner of the place.
The house is big, beautiful, and even full of exotic style. It is a completely multicultural hybrid. At first glance, I felt it was inappropriate, but after a few more glances, I found that I like it a little.
As soon as he stepped into the house, all the guards were replaced by Chen Kefu's guards. As soon as he arrived at the hall, Risa Ono, who had been dressed in a high-waisted skirt of a woman from the Central Plains, walked out. Since Xincheng returned to Liaodong, in order to prevent Pei and others from attacking him through this, he has always made her dress up as a personal soldier.
Now that he has entered the city, Risa Ono first did it to change back to women's clothing. He also specially selected a beautiful set of Chinese women's outfits, a blue short jacket on his upper body and a blue tight long skirt that was high up on his chest. A bright red palace belt was tied around his waist, and a jade pendant given to her by Chen Kefu on it. The opening of the left lapel slightly exposed the sexy collarbone under the neck. Above the white and long neck was a smooth and round delicate face. A flat bun was specially combed on his head, and several exquisite jewelry were inserted on his black hair. Walking around, the stroll on the head was even more touching.
One night, all Chen Kefu saw was a fight, bloody, crying, and roaring. At this time, he looked up and saw this beautiful maid, like a stream of clear streams flowing slowly, which made him feel anxious all night.
"General, you have been tired all night, I will relieve you. I have someone to burn hot water. I will serve you to take a hot shower first to get rid of your fatigue. I also have someone prepare food, and you can eat it after taking a shower."
Chen Kefu opened his hands and let Ono Risa gently help him solve the armor on his body one by one, wearing heavy armor. He ran all night on a rainy night, his body was covered with a mixture of plasma, rain, sweat, and it was fine. After taking off the armor, he felt an indescribable discomfort on his whole body.
Although Risa Ono planned to have a bath with him, he really didn't feel like this at this time. After taking a hot bath in a hurry, Chen Kefu's mental state suddenly improved. After drinking another cup of tea, Mao Yi brought the generals from Liaodong City to the hall again.
Chen Kefu laughed and walked forward to hug Luo Lin, Hu Hai, Shen Guang and others with a warm hug. The robe he had just changed was stained with a large amount of blood red plasma and sweat. Ono Risa pouted and looked at Chen Kefu's indifferent look, so she had to carry a teapot to pour tea for each general.
"Rolin, you are doing a good job. The first time you asked you to lead the army, you killed a prince from Goguryeo. It's such a young hero." Chen Kefu patted his guard captain and praised without hesitation.
Luo Lin's face turned red with a flushing face. He knelt in front of him and said in frustration, "Mr. General Mo is incompetent, embarrassing the general. Gao Jianwu was extremely cunning. He actually made someone as his substitute and put on his golden armor. However, he changed into a small soldier outfit. General Mo was not careful for a moment, and finally let the Liao Gou jump into the Daliang Water and disappeared."
When Chen Kefu heard that Gao Jianwu was not dead, he was stunned for a moment, but he was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly helped Luo Lin up and said, "How can you blame you for this? Even if Gao Jianwu is not dead, he will not be considered a big deal. It is a great contribution to our ability to capture Liaodong City this time and wipe out the enemy of Liaodong City. It is not bad for him. It won't take long to go, Gao Jianwu will definitely come back again. At that time, I will give you another chance and you will catch him back in person."
"Everyone, we have finally succeeded. Liaodong is already in control, and we will tell you good news. Not only are there several warehouses of armor and equipment in Liaodong City, but the amount of grain reserved in Liaodong City is definitely something you can't imagine."
Hu Hai smiled and said, "Looking at the general's happiness, there will definitely be no less food. When we captured the new city, there were more than 200,000 stones of grain there. Liaodong is the number one fortress in the Far East, so there must be 700,000 to 800,000 stones."
Shaking his head, Chen Kefu smiled and said, "You guess again!"
Chen Guang said, "Looking at the general's expression, General Hu seems to have guessed less. Then I'm more courageous, I guess one million and a half million stones."
Luo Lin and the captains all took a big breath, one million and a half million stones, which was too much. Could it be that there was so much food in Liaodong City?
"No, General Chen was wrong, so I will tell you directly. According to General Li Jie's inventory of the warehouse, the Goguryeo people built a large granary in each of the four cities in the inner city of Liaodong. According to our inventory statistics, the four granaries have nearly 7 million stones of grain."
"What, seven million stones? I heard it right? How big a warehouse can hold so much food?" The generals exclaimed suddenly, which was incredible.
Looking at the expressions of everyone, Chen Kefu was also very happy, "And this is not all. These are just the grain reserved in the city. There are nearly 100,000 stones of military food in the military camp warehouses in the outer city of Liaodong. In addition, there are several private warehouses of grain merchants in the market in the outer city of Liaodong. In addition, the grain stored in those grain stores and the grain of Goguryeo nobles in the city. These figures add up to nearly one million stones of grain. Brothers, we don't have to worry about the problem of food at all. That is, there will never be food sent from the Central Plains in the future, and these grains are enough for us to eat for three years."
"Not only that, this time our Majesty withdrew his troops. The various military equipment left in the camp, coupled with the reserves of the Goguryeo people in Liaodong City, can fully equip us with 200,000 people and fight the consumption of several years of war. Everyone, we have a strong city like the Northeast No. 1 Fortress to defend, and there are sufficient materials and supplies inside. It can be said that we have successfully gained a foothold in Liaodong."
"Long live the Great Sui Dynasty, long live Your Majesty, the General is mighty! It is glorious to destroy the military camp!"
