Three days later, outside Benxi City, 60,000 troops were assembled, and 10,000 soldiers from each of the six countries including Buyeo and Wofu, including 2,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry. The equipment has not changed in the slightest, it is still the equipment when they attacked Youzhou, Yuan Chang will not be stupid enough to give the sophisticated equipment of Youzhou to these original enemies.

Under the flickering of Yuan Chang and the encouragement of the chief generals of the six countries, the deputy generals of the six countries led 10,000 soldiers and horses to embark on the journey of attacking Goguryeo.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Guan'er and other national heroes are full of spirit and momentum, and if they want to attack Goguryeo, they will be invincible, and they are looking forward to the good news that the strong men of your country can bring!" Yuan Chang said calmly with a smile on his face.

In fact, Yuan Chang was not very optimistic about the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms. Although it is said that the strength of the Six Kingdoms is 60,000, the cavalry is 12,000, and the infantry is 48,000, which is already very powerful for the surrounding small foreign countries. However, first of all, this is a coalition of six countries, and there will be differences in command, and it is basically impossible for the soldiers of the six countries to be able to do it like an arm. Just like during the Warring States Period, the allied forces of Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qi sent hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Qin, and as a result, in front of Hangu Pass, they each had selfish intentions and different dreams in the same bed, and a huge coalition army failed since then, so that it was broken by Qin one by one, and finally the country was ruined; Think about it, in history, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times and invested more than one million soldiers, but the result was a series of defeats, and even exhausted the national strength, and finally fulfilled the Taiyuan Li clan.

Moreover, in history, Goguryeo eliminated Buyeo and Wofu, and turned Mahan, Jinhan, and Benhan into Silla and Baekje, which shows that Goguryeo is also extremely strong and not so easy to take. Yuan Chang said this, but in fact, he was not very optimistic about the soldiers and horses of the Six Kingdoms in his heart.

"Goguryeo is a sinful country, the king of Goguryeo raised an army in Youzhou for no reason, so that the people of Youzhou suffered a tragic disaster, how can we, as a neighbor of Youzhou, turn a blind eye, and we will definitely teach a lesson to such an ignorant small country as Goguryeo. ”

"Exactly, if you don't take Goguryeo, how can you be worthy of the people who suffered in Youzhou!"

Kim Tae-nong, Jian Qiu-tae and others spoke one after another, all of them were righteous and awe-inspiring, and they wanted to punish the righteous people of Goguryeo, who were evildoers. They don't have the slightest guilt, in fact, they are the same type as Goguryeo. Of course, they definitely wouldn't think so, and now that Yuan Chang is going to deal with Goguryeo, they are naturally adding fuel to the fire, so as not to let Yuan Chang target their country.

Yuan Chang smiled with satisfaction and said softly: "Well, what the generals said is very true. Now that the army has marched into the territory of Goguryeo, we cannot afford to lag behind. Commander Tai Shi Ci and Commander Yu Ban, you two will reorganize the army, prepare enough food and grass, and set off tomorrow to attack Goguryeo!"

"No!"

After giving orders to Tai Shi Ci and Yu Ban, Yuan Chang looked at Jian Qiutai and Walton, and said: "The Muslim of Benju lives in the Central Plains, and he has never seen the customs and scenery of Goguryeo, and I think the same is true for the generals.

Of course, Yuan Chang wants to take these six guys with him, one is to prevent these guys from making trouble if they stay in Youzhou, although this probability is very small, Yuan Chang will not be careless; secondly, the labor reform system discussed by Yuan Chang and Guo Jia three days ago has also been transmitted to Beijing City, and the planning and arrangements have been made through the Falcon of Sikong Picking Stars, so Yuan Chang naturally wants to transfer the six of them away, and they cannot continue to stay in Youzhou, so that Xun Chen, Dong Zhao, and Xu Shu can carry out labor reform and rectification of hundreds of thousands of prisoners. Otherwise, if the six of them knew that Yuan Chang had arranged these prisoners like this, even if they were afraid of death, they would probably jump out and resist. As long as the labor reform and rectification can be carried out smoothly in the initial stage, there will be no more problems in the future, and I am afraid that they will have no time to take care of these prisoners by then.

On the second day, Tai Shi Ci and Yu Ban also reorganized their own soldiers and horses, and some soldiers were injured in the previous battle, so naturally they could not continue to participate in the battle, so this expedition, Tai Shi Ci and Yu Ban only had 40,000 soldiers and horses under their command. However, these forces were more than enough to deal with the battle that followed.

"Let's go!"

With a wave of Yuan Chang's hand and a loud shout, the 80,000 army was divided into two armies and marched towards the land of Goguryeo. After three days of marching, the army had reached the junction of Youzhou and Goguryeo. At the junction of Youju and Goguryeo, there was no construction of a pass, nor a city, but only a small village - Bentu.

Since the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, the first state in China, the alien races in the east and west have not been the biggest enemies of the Central Plains, only the alien races in the north have always been the great trouble of the Central Plains. Therefore, on the eastern and western borders, no strong defenses were established, and Benxi Fortress was the closest city between Youzhou and Goguryeo. The formation of this village was also formed because of the exchanges between the Central Plains and Goguryeo merchants, and in the past, merchants who needed to drink water and rest were carried out in this map, and then they were able to enter Benxi City. Although it is a small village, it does not even have a defensive wall. However, when Goguryeo invaded Youzhou, it would not loot this map, because although this map was a village established by the Central Plains people, and when Goguryeo's merchants entered Youzhou, they also needed to supply this map, which was not a good thing for Goguryeo merchants. That's why a small village like Bentu has existed so safely for so long.

When you arrive at this map, the border of Goguryeo is within easy reach. Although Youzhou and Goguryeo are at war now, this place is not affected at all, and people can still be seen in the village from time to time, either entering the village or leaving the village.

Yuan Chang's army did not enter Bentu Village, and they had already brought enough grain, grass, and water, so naturally there was nothing to supply. Moreover, the supplies in the village were only enough to supply the merchants, but the army was not satisfied.

The army still marched towards Goguryeo in an orderly manner, until it entered the territory of Goguryeo for a hundred miles, and did not see a single Goguryeo figure, whether it was a common man or a soldier. Although there are no cities and checkpoints on the border between Youzhou and Goguryeo, it is also a border, and there are usually soldiers patrolling the border, and if there is an enemy invasion, they can be found as soon as possible. In this way, before Goguryeo wanted to invade Youzhou, it was the Youzhou spies hidden in this map who discovered it at the first time and transmitted the news to Beijing City, so that Yuan Chang and they could respond in time. Now, on the border of Goguryeo, there is not even a single figure to be seen, and it is obvious that the armies of the six countries have already invaded, so this will happen.

The army marched for another three days, and finally reached the city of Cheongang, the most border city of Goguryeo.

Although Qiangang City is a city, it is actually no different from a village. The outermost periphery is only surrounded by an earthen wall more than one person high, not to mention the defense of siege equipment, cavalry can jump over, infantry can easily climb up, perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that the foreign siege equipment has little development, after all, they do not need siege equipment. Now, the earthen walls of Qiangang City are broken everywhere, obviously, it was the previous attack on Qiangang City by the army of the Six Kingdoms, which caused this situation in Qiangang City.

"Everyone, how about I enter Qiangang City to take a look?" Yuan Chang swept his gaze to his henchmen, naturally, he would not miss the six of them, Jian Qiutai and Walton.

"Yes, everything obeys the orders of Youzhou Mu!"

Of course Guo Jia and the others will not object, and the six of them, Jian Qiutai and Walton, do not dare to object, besides, what's the use of them objecting?

At that moment, Tai Shi Ci and Yu Ban let the lieutenant general command the army to be stationed in the same place, but they only brought hundreds of guards to follow Yuan Chang into Qiangang City. Perhaps because it had just experienced the war, Qiangang City was full of traces of war. As for the earthen walls of Qiangang Fortress, there is nothing to say, whether there is actually the same or not, and I don't know what the Goguryeo royal family is thinking in their heads. If you want to build a city wall, it is better to build a little grade, but to make such a dirt wall that is not up or down, it is simply not good to complain.

After entering Qiangang City, Yuan Chang and the others saw at a glance that the city was full of dilapidated houses, and the ground was also pitted, and in front of the door of the houses, there were Goguryeo people in ragged clothes and yellow muscles everywhere. You don't have to think about it to know that after the soldiers of the six countries invaded Qiangang City, they naturally looted a lot to cause the situation in front of them.

After a while, an old man, surrounded by several young men with severed hands or broken feet, walked towards Yuan Chang and them, except for the old man, none of them were normal.

The old man first chattered, but he said Goguryeo, and Yuan Chang naturally couldn't understand it. Perhaps realizing it, the old man quickly changed his language and spoke exactly the Central Plains dialect. Since the Han Dynasty, China has been the center of the world, and the language of the Central Plains has been spread to all directions. As a border city of Goguryeo, Qiangangcheng borders Youzhou, and there are constant merchants who come and go, and the Central Plains dialect is naturally not unfamiliar, besides, this old man is still the old man of Qiangang City, he is an intellectual, and he has naturally studied the Central Plains dialect. In other words, in the neighboring countries of the Central Plains, as long as they are the ruling class, literate people or businessmen, they will understand the Central Plains dialect.

"I don't know where you came from and where are you going?" the old man looked vigilant, but his tone was not very aggressive, which made Yuan Chang feel a little weird. It stands to reason that they went to war with Goguryeo and Youzhou, and now they are enemies of each other, and Yuan Chang seems to have indicated the identity of the Central Plains, but the old man does not have much hostility, which makes people feel strange. However, soon, Yuan Chang reacted and somewhat understood why this was the case.

"Uncle, I am Youzhou Mu. Because the king of Goguryeo sent troops to invade the territory of Youzhou for no reason, the Honju Mu specially came to Goguryeo this time to ask the king of Xiguang why he was like this. ”

Yuan Chang's tone was flat, and he made up an excuse at will.

Hearing that Yuan Chang was a Youzhou pastor, the old man did not show much surprise. In other words, he doesn't know how big Youzhou's identity is. In Goguryeo, except for the Goguryeo royal family, there was a large city in each area, and the city lord was the highest-ranking person in the area, and the city lord was the high-ranking person who could directly talk to the Goguryeo king. And the old man, as the old man of the city, has the same status as the city lord, or in other words, under normal circumstances, the city lord has to give these old people courtesy. In the Central Plains, the guards of a city are naturally not in the stream, and if they want to see the Son of Heaven, they have to go through the county guard, the state pastor, and then go to the capital to report through layers of reports. Because of the attack of the Six Kingdoms, the city lord of Qiangang City had already led his troops to withdraw, and now, the old man is naturally the most noble one in Qiangang City.

"Oh, it turned out to be Youzhou Mu from the Central Plains, so I don't know who these are?" The old man replied in a low voice, and swept his gaze to Jian Qiutai and Walton and the six of them, the six of them did not look like they were from the Central Plains, so the old man asked such a question.

"These are the generals of Buyeo, Wofu and other countries, they are neighbors with my Youzhou, I heard that Goguryeo made such a perverse move, so the road was uneven, and followed the Honju pastor to Goguryeo to administer justice for my Youzhou. Yuan Chang smiled secretly in his heart, and it is estimated that there will be a good show to watch later, but he replied calmly on his face.

"What? They are the generals of Buyeo, Wofu and other countries!"

The old man exclaimed in surprise when he heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he stared at Jian Qiutai, Walton and the other six people, as if he was going to eat them alive. And the men with crippled hands and feet who followed behind the old man also showed their eyes like they were about to eat people, staring at the six of them viciously, and the hatred in their eyes was simply incomparable to the sky and the depths of the earth. You must know that these people were originally soldiers of Qiangang City, and the reason why their hands and feet were mutilated was because of the previous attack on Qiangang City by the Six Nations, and they naturally knew who the soldiers of the Six Nations were, and now when they heard that the main general of the enemy country was here, how could they not be angry and hateful.

"Uncle, why are you doing this?" Yuan Chang showed a look of surprise on his face, and asked pretending to be puzzled, but he had already laughed in his heart. (To be continued.) )
