The river in front of me is a tributary of the Liao River. The supply points of the Goguryeo people were built on the edge of the official road near the river. The water and land transportation are very convenient, but as Gao Bufan expected, the terrain here is flat and easy to attack and difficult to defend. The Goguryeo people built the supply points here, which was obviously greedy for convenience, but it was a bit overwhelming.

The sun in the sky has slightly set westward, and at most one and a half hours, night will fall to the earth. At this moment, Gao Bufan and Pei Xingyan are hiding in the shadow of a clump of reeds by the river, like two tigers waiting to hunt, staring at the camp not far away with bright eyes.

The Goguryeo people built the camp by the river, which can be divided into two parts. One is the water camp and a wharf is built to facilitate ship docking. The other is the Luzhai, which is also the main business area. It is built on the edge of the official road. Several rows of barracks and warehouses are built in the main business area. It should be the place where soldiers live and store grain. The warehouse is steep and easy to recognize.

Gao Bufan counted and found that there were five warehouses in total. Even if one warehouse had two hundred stones of grain, the total amount was as many as 1,000 stones, which was 100,000 kilograms, which was enough for a team of thousands to eat for several months.

As Pei Xingyan said, the fortifications built by the Goguryeo people were very perfunctory, including moat ditches, retaining walls, trapped horse pits, and tripping horse piles. They just used wooden briquettes about two meters high to enclose the entire camp. A door was opened on the side of the official road, and two sways were placed in front of the door. There were arrow towers on each side of the door, which were placed high and had a certain lethality against the enemy invading the front.

After observing the deployment of the complete camp, Gao Bufan was obviously more confident and shrugged, "These Goguryeo people are too funny, and there is no defense on the river. If we have a boat to attack at night, we can attack from the dock without wasting the force of soot."

Pei Xingyan shrugged as Gao Bufan: "There is no way, I just bully us but I don't have a ship."

Gao Bufan smiled: "That's right, if we had a boat, we would have crossed the Liaohe River long ago."

Pei Xingyan said righteously: "But then again, the Goguryeo people's methods of defending the city are really powerful. Our 100,000 troops attacked for several months but failed to take down Liaodong City. The fortifications at this supply point were so careless. They probably were careless. Unexpectedly, we, the defeated generals, dared to attack."

Gao Bufan nodded and smiled, "So this is God's will. If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed."

"I won't take it for a fool." Pei Xingyan also smiled.

Gao Bufan looked up at the setting sun, and guessed that the time was about the same, so he ordered Liu Gou'er behind him, "Tell Liu Wuzhou that you can start."

Liu Gou'er nodded cleverly, turned around and left quickly, as flexible as a dog.

Pei Xingyan whispered a little worriedly: "Is this guy Liu Wuzhou reliable?"

Gao Bufan nodded and said, "Reliable."

Pei Xingyan couldn't help but say, "Why is Brother Gao so sure? I think this guy is a bit sloppy and not very reliable."

Gao Bufan said: "I also think this person is unreliable, but in this matter, Liu Wuzhou is reliable because he is a sensible person."

Pei Xingyan was confused and said, "Then I am confused. Why is this person unreliable, but he is reliable in this matter?"

Gao Bufan smiled and said, "Because he understands that what I asked him to do will not have any worries about life. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages, so he will be reliable. If the other way around, what I asked him to do will be more harmful than the advantages, and even the worries about life, he will not be reliable. So I said he is a wise man, and to be precise, a smart and savvy man."

Pei Xingyan suddenly said, "So that's it. Who do Brother Gao thinks I am?"

"You are a peerless man, women may not like it, but men must like it."

Pei Xingyan was amused and crying: "Am I serious?"

Gao Bufan said seriously: "I am also serious. Brother Pei is brave and courageous, and he is righteous. He must be a general. He can sacrifice his life for his brother. Who doesn't like him? I am very happy to make friends like Brother Pei, so that there will be a big fool who is trying to get into trouble."

Pei Xingyan was originally praised to a little embarrassed, but his last sentence was immediately knocked back to his original form, both ridiculous and terrifying.

Gao Bufan patted Pei Xingyan on the shoulder and smiled, "The last sentence is a joke, but I am indeed serious about the previous sentence."

Pei Xingyan grinned and said, "Xingyan is also willing to make friends like Brother Gao, so that someone will protect him and will not be sold to others and will help others count the money."

Gao Bufan said with a funny look: "It turns out that Brother Pei still remembers the accounts in the swamp?"

Pei Xingyan shook his head seriously and said, "No, I'm serious."

"Okay, then I've made a friend of you." Gao Bufan also said seriously, and after saying that, he looked at Pei Xingyan and smiled.

…………

To be precise, there were 1,200 Goguryeo defenders in the supply site, and the garrison general was named Li Zezhu, who was a commander of thousands of men.

This supply point was built after the Sui army retreated. It provides logistical support for the Goguryeo army patrolling the Liaohe front line. It is also a temporary detention point for prisoners. Now there are 300 Sui army prisoners in the camp. After saving up 500 prisoners, they will be escorted to Liaodong City to ask for ransom from the Emperor of Sui.

As the saying goes, the moon will be the first to get close to the water. Therefore, the chef is usually a fat man with a greasy face, and the turtle man is more likely to be a thin monkey. Anyone who understands it is understandable. Li Zezhu guards the huge granary and has good treatment and light tasks. She just eats and drinks every day and walks a few times in the camp every day. She occasionally goes out to the camp for a walk. It is difficult to not be fat.

So this thousand-man Li Zezhu is a big fat man, and she is so beautiful. It is said that he is from an upper class aristocrat, no wonder he has gained such a leisurely fat man.

It's neither early nor late at this hour, and Li Zezhu has already finished her supper and is planning to go fishing on the dock of the water village to pass the time. When it's dark, I'll go to bed after having a late night snack.

Let’s talk about Li Zezhu’s fish food and fishing gear, and a personal soldier who was also round and round ran in panic and reported: “The general is not good, a Sui army comes outside.”

Li Zezhu was frightened and said, "The Emperor of Sui State fled with his tails, where did the Sui army come from?"

"It should be a remnant soldier, but there are quite a few people, I'm afraid there are 100 people." The personal soldiers reported.

Li Zezhu kicked his personal soldiers and staggered and cursed, "There are only one hundred remaining soldiers, how can you be so panicked? Could it be that the 1,200 defenders here are all vegetarians, so I'm not embarrassed. Hey, the Sui Dogs that came to the door will not be caught, but the boys, go, catch the Sui Dogs with this general, and send them all to Liaodong City to ask for silver from the Emperor of Sui."
