Chapter 98 Aren’t you a country of etiquette?

Fu Cailin was very cautious and afraid of death. When he met Bi Xuan or Ning Daoqi, he would fight without fighting if he could.

Although it was his first time meeting Chen Kang, Fu Cailin still maintained the highest vigilance.

Every great master is not easy to mess with, and Fu Cailin does not dare to show any slights.

After much hesitation, Fu Cailin decided to retreat.

This place was the Sui military camp. If he was injured while fighting with Chen Kang, the army could kill him.

The Grand Master is a powerful man who stands at the top, but he is not a god. He may be killed even if he is seriously injured.

Fu Cailin said: "Chen Kang, right? I recognize you. We will meet again later."

Fu Cailin's figure flashed out of the military tent and disappeared.

Chen Kang did not pursue.

Traveling day and night, riding a horse is very tiring.

Chen Kang met Fu Cailin as soon as he arrived in Goguryeo. Chen Kang was still a little tired and not in his strongest condition.

Immediately fight with Fu Cailin, Chen is not sure of victory.

We can only let Fu Cailin go.

However, Chen Kang had enough energy to adjust his condition to its best, and then went to meet Fu Cailin for a while.

General Yang said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Mr. Chen, for saving your life."

Chen Kang said: "General, you are welcome. I wonder how the army and young men are doing?"

General Yang looked sad and said: "The situation is not optimistic. People are panicked. The army is a little better. But the hundreds of thousands of young men escorting the grain and grass are almost on the verge of collapse."

Chen Kang didn't understand military affairs, but he also knew that the army was a disciplined force with rules and military laws. It was definitely better than the situation of young and strong men scattered around.

Chen Kang said: "If I can stop Fu Cailin, can our army capture Goguryeo?"

General Yang shook his head and said: "It's impossible. Mr. Chen, it's not that the soldiers are not fighting hard, but the situation is worrying. Food and grass are not available, and the weather is getting colder. If we cannot withdraw to the Sui Dynasty as soon as possible, we, one million people, may have to stay in Liaodong forever.

.”

It is now late September and the temperature is dropping rapidly.

You never know when it will snow.

If heavy snow blocks roads and cuts off food and grass, millions of people will be trapped to death.

Chen Kang said: "General, Chen doesn't understand the matter of fighting. Your Majesty sent me here, and I can only do what I can. I will take care of Fu Cailin. I will leave the withdrawal of the troops to you."

General Yang nodded and said: "As long as Fu Cailin does not come to assassinate our generals, I am confident that millions of people will be withdrawn to the Sui Dynasty."

Time is running out and winter is about to enter. General Yang must race against time.

Hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of young men must be withdrawn as soon as possible without any delay.

At the same time, General Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

General Yang was afraid that Chen Kang would take advantage of his status as a grand master to interfere in military affairs.

It's not that General Yang is reluctant to delegate power, but that an outsider commanding an expert will cause chaos and kill millions of people.

Chen Kang said: "General, arrange a military tent for me. I need to rest. Also, prepare meals. I have a large appetite, so prepare more food."

General Yang nodded and said, "I'll make arrangements right away."

General Yang gave Chen Kang his military tent to live in, and ordered the Huotou Army to kill cattle and make beef stew for Chen Kang.

Chen Kang was not polite, entered the military tent, and fell asleep.

…

General Yang immediately called all the generals to a meeting.

When the more than twenty generals heard that His Majesty had sent a Grand Master to support them, they immediately felt relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

A young general said: "General, our food and fodder are about to run out. Mr. Chen Kang had to come a month earlier, and we would have a chance to counterattack. But..."

The attack on Goguryeo failed, and the young general was unwilling to give in.

General Yang glared at the young general and said, "Shut up. It's a blessing that the Grand Master can come. Are you still complaining that Mr. Chen is late?"

The young general was startled and said quickly: "I don't dare, general."

General Yang said coldly: "From now on, speak through your head. Be careful that trouble comes from your mouth."

The other generals looked at this young general and shook their heads secretly. This boy has some ability and has a good way of leading troops in battle, but he is still too young.

Even if His Majesty is afraid of being a powerful Grand Master, he cannot be deployed at will.

When His Majesty issued three imperial edicts to Ning Daoqi, what was the result? Ning Daoqi ignored them and disgraced the court and His Majesty.

General Yang said with a serious face: "With Mr. Chen Kang here, we are no longer afraid of the assassination of that old guy Fu Cailin. Our mission is to withdraw hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of young people intact into the Sui Dynasty.

"

An old general with gray beard and hair stood up and said: "General, please let Mo Qi stop the attack and buy more time for the army."

As long as Fu Cailin does not cause trouble, the old general will have the confidence to block the pursuit of Goguryeo's army.

General Yang nodded and said: "Okay. Then General Liu will be responsible for breaking up the rear. You must block the Goguryeo army for me."

…

Chen Kang slept for more than eight hours and woke up refreshed and resurrected with full blood.

Physical fitness, energy, and mental state have returned to their best state.

"Mr. Chen, you're awake." A cavalryman said happily when he saw Chen Kang waking up.

Chen Kang said: "Why didn't you guys go to rest?"

Twenty cavalrymen followed Chen Kang since they left Luoyang. When they arrived at the military camp, they did not go to rest, but guarded around the military tent.

The cavalryman smiled and said: "We can still hold on. The food is ready. I will have the food delivered right now."

Chen Kang nodded and said, "Okay. I happen to be a little hungry."

Huotoujun brought a large pot of beef stew, as well as noodles and millet porridge.

Chen Kang ate a few bites of the meat. It tasted okay, but it certainly couldn't compare with the taste of the food he cooked.

However, the beef was stewed soft and delicious. The tendons were chewy.

Seeing that the cavalry was still standing, Chen Kang said, "Have you eaten?"

The cavalryman said: "We have eaten."

Chen Kang said: "Go and rest after eating. You are not my servants. I don't need you to serve me here."

The cavalryman hesitated for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Chen, let's retreat first."

After finishing the food.

Chen Kang was eighty percent full.

After becoming a great master, Chen Kang's appetite became bigger and bigger. The property of a small landowner might not be able to support a great master.

…

late at night.

General Yang was still handling military affairs, his eyes bloodshot.

Withdrawing troops is easy to say, but there are too many things to do.

Although he, the general, does not need to do it himself, he still needs to keep an eye on it for fear of making any mistakes.

Chen Kang walked into the military tent.

General Yang smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, you haven't had a rest yet?"

Chen Kang said: "Is it going well?"

General Yang said: "The first group of 80,000 troops set off to retreat in the afternoon. The speed may not be fast. The Goguryeo army is chasing a little hastily. However, General Liu has already led troops to stop them."

General Yang took the initiative to introduce the withdrawal situation to Chen Kang.

General Yang arranged the withdrawal of troops in an orderly and orderly manner.

General Yang cannot be underestimated as a great general.

He learned the essence of the art of war from his patron king "Yang Lin" and had excellent skills in commanding the army.

It's a pity that General Yang is a Confucian general and is not good at martial arts.

Chen Kang said: "General, I am going to go to the Goguryeo military camp."

General Yang was surprised and said: "Mr. Chen is going to find Fu Cailin?"
