    Gao Yuan finally decided to immediately abandon Yingzhou, which he had finally won, and retreat immediately, and chose to retreat through the northern road instead.  Although many generals fought back from the original route to kill the arrogant Han people before retaking Liaodong City, Gao Yuan only regarded their words as a joke.  If Liaodong City had been reported to him as soon as it was lost, he might have chosen to fight back and recapture Liaodong City.  But now that the city of Liaodong has been lost for more than ten days, the Sui emperor must have known the news, and maybe more Sui troops will come out from Yuguan.  In any case, he must first ensure that his remaining 50,000 troops and horses withdraw to the east bank of the Liao River, and then mobilize troops and horses from Liaodong in order to recapture Liaodong City, and even have to face a worse situation. It is possible to deal with the Sui army during the Sui Dynasty.  of the massive march eastward.  At this time, he couldn't take any more risks. He couldn't be as crazy as the Sui general Li Jing.  Li Jing is a madman, and he is only a general of the Sui army, but he is the king of Goguryeo. Now that Liaodong City is lost, the army on the east bank of the Liao River is in his hands. If they have another problem, the entire defense on the east bank of the Liao River may be lost.  All will collapse.  "Withdraw Wu Liluo first, and then make plans." Gao Yuan almost gritted his teeth and gave the order to abandon Yingzhou. It was so rare to capture Liaoxi and Yingzhou, but now he has to give up on his own initiative. This is simply  Cutting his flesh.  Before leaving, the angry Gao Yuan ordered the burning of Liucheng in Yingzhou and took away all the Sui people in the city and asked them to help the Goguryeo army transport the property and food robbed from Yingzhou.  The billowing smoke rose, Liu Cheng passed the torch, and was burned into ruins.  At about the same time that Gao Yuan evacuated from Yingzhou, Yi Feng also officially left Xijing and headed for Luoyang, the central capital.  Accompanying Yi Feng.  There are also the imperial court's two government offices, three provinces, six ministries, temples and government offices, as well as the imperial guards and horses in the north government office.  At the same time, all the wealthy families in Guanzhong were also asked to move with them.  This is a huge migration, according to plan.  More than 100,000 families in the entire Guanzhong area will be relocated.  Among them, more than 10,000 rich families will move to Luoyang and surrounding areas, and more will be moved to Daibei, Youyan, Saishang, Liaoxi and other northern areas with vast areas and sparsely populated areas to enrich the border areas.  Although this decree aroused the dissatisfaction of countless wealthy families in Guanzhong, under the strong order of the emperor, they could not stop the migration in the end.  At present, the first batch of thousands of households to be relocated are those wealthy and powerful families. The rest have also been included in the plan and will be relocated as planned in the future.  In short, Yi Feng moved the capital eastward.  Then he will never leave the extremely powerful Guanlong Group in Guanzhong.  Moving a large number of people out of Guanzhong will also reduce the population and land pressure in Guanzhong and enrich the border areas.  On this day, as soon as Yi Feng left Tongguan, he received a letter from Fei Ge forwarded from Luoyang.  "Gao Yuan was defeated at Beizhenshan and was captured and surrendered!" Privy Councilor Wang Bao personally came to report Yi Feng's victory.  Gao Yuan¡¯s capture was completely beyond Yi Feng¡¯s expectation. It can even be said that no one would have expected such a result in advance. Even Gao Yuan himself could not have imagined that by choosing the northern route to retreat, he was actually choosing a path of no return.  When Gao Yuan burned Liucheng and retreated eastward, he took with him tens of thousands of Sui people captured from western Liaoning.  The large amount of looted money, cattle, sheep and other items brought with him greatly slowed down the speed of his retreat.  The journey from Yingzhou to Yiwulu Mountain is three hundred miles, and it would have taken at most two days by Qingqi.  However, Gao Yuan's troops walked for seven whole days, covering less than fifty miles in one day.  Gao Yuan never imagined that in the Sui Dynasty, there were not only lunatics like Li Jing who would try to steal his retreat early on.  They moved to Liaodong City and captured Liaodong City based on the battlefield situation.  Fei Ge sent a message and ordered the Khitans to intercept him at Yiwulu Mountain.  The Xi people were also mobilized to pursue them. At the same time, the Xi people quickly went south to reinforce the Khitan people, and the second eastern expedition army of the Sui Army quickly arrived.  As a result, when Gao Yuan rushed to Beizhen Mountain, he suddenly discovered that in front of them, on the mountain pass that they must pass, there were already erected camps, one large, five small, and six, and they were even called  Not even a city has passed.  The camps erected like witchcraft blocked their retreat. The white horse and green ox flags on the camps showed that the people blocking his way were Khitans.  This made Gao Yuan extremely surprised, but he was also secretly worried about when the Khitan people would dare to jump out to stop his Goguryeo army. What also shocked him the most was how on earth the Khitan people managed to sneak up here in such a short period of time.  A group of camps were set up silently?  How on earth did they do it, and why did he have no idea what was happening here before?  Li Jing captured Liaodong City on the south road, and there was a Sui army guarding and intercepting Songshan on the west bank of the Bailang River. The south road had long been blocked, and now the north road was actually blocked again.  Gao Yuan had no choice but to order a forcible attack on the Khitan camp.  When he ordered the attack, Gao Yuan was still sighing in his heart. Fortunately, the Khitans only had 20,000 to 30,000 troops. In fact, most of them were old and weak women. Although this battle had to pay some price, they were still able to defeat them.  But after the attack started, he felt something was wrong. The Khitan camp was unusually strong.? At the same time, there were many horse traps, antlers, and many horse traps outside the camp, as well as too many caltrops sprinkled on the ground. In addition to the deep trench and high wooden fence walls, they faced not only  A simple fortress, but a well-defended castle fortress.  The cavalry were forced to dismount and advance little by little, but the Khitan people standing on the city relied on their high fences and small villages to support each other, causing them to pay far more casualties than he expected with every step they took.  With every step forward, countless soldiers fell.  The Khitan people not only built six cities with various fortifications, but the most terrible thing is that they have a large number of crossbows. It seems that every Khitan warrior is an archer. In addition, they also have a large number of heavy crossbows and powerful crossbows. Even when they get close,  When we arrived at the walled city, there were trebuchets in the walled city that began to throw out a large number of stones as big as fists and as big as human heads.  For a whole day and night, Gao Yuan suffered thousands of casualties and did not even touch the wall of the walled city.  Then, Gao Yuan panicked.  He ordered the intensification of the offensive despite his objections, deeply worried that he had fallen into a trap.  The Khitans actually built such a strong camp here to intercept him early. This must be the Sui people's plan behind it.  If he couldn't get through here as soon as possible, he would definitely be surrounded by Sui troops coming from all directions.  Gao Yuan's feelings are very keen, but unfortunately he wants to leave, but he can't break through.  Gao Yuan ordered the soldiers to fill the ditch in front with the captured Yingzhou people, and then the Goguryeo soldiers climbed the wall with improvised ladders.  After all, this camp was built temporarily. The wall was only one foot long, and the female wall was no more than two people tall. It was still much shorter than the real city wall.  It¡¯s just that his ruthless move failed. The Khitans didn¡¯t care about the life and death of the people in Yingzhou. However, anyone who dared to come within range, regardless of whether they were Han Chinese or Goguryeo, responded with bows, crossbows and arrows.  After dark the next day, the situation became more and more unfavorable to Gao Yuan. A large number of cavalry suddenly appeared behind the Khitan people who were already exhausted and unable to hold on after struggling to support them.  What came was not the Goguryeo people that Gao Yuan was expecting, and he had no chance to summon the Goguryeo people to relieve the siege. What came was the enemy he was most worried about, the Pei people from one of the three Northeastern tribes who were attached to the Sui Dynasty.  The white swan flag was flying high in the air, so elegant, but to Gao Yuan, it was as ferocious and terrifying as the King of Hell in the underworld.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: A forward team of 3,000 white swans and light cavalry came, but they gave the Ohama Club unprecedented support.  The Great Hemo Society was already unable to hold on. In just two days, with the support of these six cities, more than a thousand soldiers were still killed in the battle, and even more were injured. There was no support. He really didn't know what the various ministries would do.  Will not crash.  After the first group of Xi people arrived, reinforcements from the Xi tribe continued to arrive.  Gao Yuan felt scared, and the Goguryeo people launched another attack regardless of exhaustion. However, with the fresh force of the Lin tribe taking over the defense, no matter how fierce the Goguryeo people attacked, they would only die more.  When the sun rose on the morning of the third day, Su Zhi, the chief envoy of Zuo Bu of Saibei Province and the chief of the Ahui tribe of the Xi tribe, arrived with the first troops of the Xi tribe. There were a total of 5,000 Xi people's cavalry. They faced  The rising sun in the morning, holding the golden deer flag, appeared neatly behind the Goguryeo army.  The Goguryeo people were surrounded and could not advance or retreat.  Gao Yuan ordered to turn around and fight Xi Jun who had just arrived on the battlefield, but the Khitan people who had been repairing all night opened the door and came out of the stronghold to fight.  If two days ago, the Khitans were willing to come out to fight, Gao Yuan would have wished for it, but now, he only felt the bitterness of despair.  This battle lasted until dark. The Goguryeo people fought fiercely at first, but as time went by, they found that they had more and more opponents.  Khitan people, Lin people, Xi people, and then when the sun set among the mountains in the west, the horns sounded again and again, and another army arrived.  The incoming army carried a white tiger flag. Gao Yuan was no stranger to this flag. He knew that after the new emperor of the Sui Dynasty established the country, he divided the army into the North Yamen Imperial Army, the South Yamen Army and the Border Army.  Among them, the military flag of the frontier army is Xuanwu, and the military flag of Nanya government army is Suzaku, but only the emperor's Beiya forbidden army uses the white tiger as its flag.  As soon as the White Tiger Flag arrived, it represented the arrival of the emperor's Beiya Imperial Army, which was also the most elite army in the Sui Dynasty today.  Under the banner of White Tiger, it was Han Sengshou, the deputy envoy of the Sui Privy Council and the marching marshal of Liaodong Road. They traveled day and night and finally arrived at the foot of Beizhen Mountain with the vanguard cavalry.  Due to the rush, Han Sengshou only brought 5,000 light cavalry with him when he arrived at the foot of Beizhen Mountain. But these 5,000 cavalry became the last straw that broke the Goguryeo army.  Facing the incoming Sui army's cuirassiers, the Goguryeo army collapsed. After three days of continuous fighting, they were already exhausted. They had been relying on the belief that they could go home after breaking through the enemy's formation to support them.  During the battle, when the Sui army appeared, the exhausted Goguryeo people understood that it would be impossible for them to fight out.  In one breath, the Goguryeo army collapsed.  (To be continued¡­)
