"The general's righteousness is really a blessing to my lord. In order to show the sincerity of our army, my lord specially asked me to offer 300 catties of gold, and asked the general to accept it. "Full of joy and authenticity.

Lin Nandao: "Hahaha, Meng De is so generous, he actually made a move of three hundred catties of gold." Okay, then I will accept this gift, please go back and tell Meng De what I mean, so that he can avenge the old man. ”

"By all means...... My mission has been accomplished, so I'll take my leave. Man Zhong got up and arched his hand.

Lin Nan didn't hold back, and said to the soldiers standing outside the hall: "Send Mr. Man out of the city." ”

After Man Chong walked out of the hall, Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "Lord, the envoy of Xuzhou has also arrived, and he is resting in the post house at this time, and his subordinates did not let him meet Man Chong." Would you like to meet with the lord? ”

"See! People came all the way to see me, how could I not see it, to let the envoy from Xuzhou come to the governor's mansion, I am waiting here. ”

"No!"

Jia Xu turned around and walked out of the hall, and came back after a long time, and when he came back, he was followed by a person, and that person Lin Nan also knew, it was Mi Zhu under Tao Qian's account.

Mi Zhu followed Jia Xu into the hall, his face looked very anxious, and he took the lead in bowing: "In Xia Mi Zhu, see General Lin." ”

Lin Nan waved his hand, motioned for Mi Zhu to sit down, and said loudly: "Mr. has come to Jicheng from Xuzhou thousands of miles away, I don't know what it is?" ”

Mi Zhu said that Xuzhou suffered a catastrophe and that Cao Song's death was committed by Zhang Min and had nothing to do with Tao Qian, and that Cao Cao intended to encroach on Xuzhou under the guise of revenge. After all kinds of reasons were demonstrated, he arched his hand and said: "This time General Liu sent me, I hope that General Lin can help, as long as Cao Cao is repulsed." General Liu must have a lot of gratitude. ”

Jia Xu had already spied on Lin Nan's intentions, and he happened to come out to cover up at this time: "Mr. Mi, do you know, since my lord sat in Youzhou, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, who were stationed in Jizhou, were all eyeing Youzhou, and the Xianbei people in the north also kept attacking Youzhou. Even Dongyi wants a piece of the pie. My father-in-law has received news that Goguryeo is preparing to unite with the three Hans in the southeast of Lelang County to plot Liaodong and Lelang County. ”

Mi Zhu looked at Lin Nan, and saw that Lin Nan nodded slightly, and his attitude was not very good, so he asked, "Didn't General Lin make an appointment with General Liu before?" Did the two join forces with each other to resist Cao Cao? Why did you regret it now? General Lin reversed his word, what is the righteousness of the faith? ”

Lin Nan sneered. Said: "I said that I joined forces with General Liu to resist Cao Cao, but now the lord of Xuzhou is Tao Qian, not Liu Bei." If the current lord of Xuzhou is Liu Bei, I will be obligated to send troops to help. But Tao Qian killed Cao Cao's son, and Cao Cao's revenge for killing his father must be avenged. And Cao Cao's soldiers are pointing at Tao Qian, and he doesn't do Liu Bei's business, my division is unknown, how to save it? Again. Yuan Shao of Jizhou has always been eyeing me, and Gongsun Zan is in the Bohai Sea. These two people have always wanted to annex Youzhou, and I am at odds with Jizhou, even if I want to save it, I can't reach Xuzhou. ”

Mi Zhu said: "Is the general insisting on refusing to save him? ”

"It's not that you can't save it, it's that you can't save it. The situation in Youzhou is very unique, and there is Xianbei in the north. There is Dongyi in the east, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the south, how do you let me send troops? You can go back and tell Liu Bei and ask him to hand over Tao Qian to Cao Cao quickly, and Cao Cao wants to kill Tao Qian alone. As soon as Tao Qian died, the danger of Xuzhou could be solved. Lin Nandao.

Mi Zhu saw that Lin Nan was reluctant to send troops, and he didn't force it, so he arched his hand and said, "General Lin, then I'll leave here." ”

Man Zhong and Mi Zhu were both sent out of Jicheng, and in the conference hall, Jia Xu arched his hand towards Lin Nan and said, "Is the lord planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" ”

Lin Nandao: "Sort of, the plan can't catch up with the changes, when I was in Bishui Pass, I did make a private alliance with Liu Bei, but it was based on Liu Bei as the lord of Xuzhou, and now Tao Qian is still the nominal lord of Xuzhou, Cao Cao is crusading against Tao Qian, and from Youzhou to Xuzhou, there is still Jizhou and Qingzhou in between, and it is not good for us to send troops." ”

"With Liu Bei's person, he shouldn't hand over Tao Qian, it seems that the battle of Xuzhou is inevitable, but I don't know if the soldiers in Xuzhou can resist Cao Cao's offensive." Jia Xu said.

"Strategist, what you said before about Goguryeo's preparation to unite Samhan, is it to fool Mi Zhu, or is it really something?" Lin Nan suddenly remembered this and hurriedly asked.

Jia Xu raised his hand and patted his head, said "should be beaten", and hurriedly said: "Lord Qi, this matter is true, his subordinates have just received a letter from Lelang Taishou Hu Yu, he caught a few Goguryeo people in Lelang County, and they were sent to Sanhan, saying that Goguryeo wants to unite Sanhan to jointly launch an attack on Liaodong and Lelang. At the same time, his subordinates also received a letter from Liaodong Taishou Guoyuan, claiming that the king of Goguryeo had mobilized a large army on the border between Liaodong and Goguryeo, with bad intentions. ”

"Goguryeo...... It's Goguryeo again! This small country is so rampant! Lin Nan said angrily.

Jia Xu said: "My lord, my subordinates think that if the surrounding situation is unstable, even if they go south to compete for power in the future, they will inevitably be restrained by the rear." Now that Cao Cao is attacking Xuzhou, he will inevitably ask Yuan Shao to attack Qingzhou, so it gives us an opportunity to use this opportunity to first destroy Goguryeo and Sanhan and other Dongyi. In the past, we took the initiative to show goodwill to Goguryeo, because our army was not strong enough, but now our army is strong and strong, and it is time to show our talents. ”

Lin Nandao: "Okay, if you want to pick up soft persimmons, then start with Sanhan first, first let all the Dongyi on the peninsula surrender, and then wave your army to the north and go straight to the Marudu City of Goguryeo." ”

"Lord, Fuyu people don't like to copy, and they have always been at odds with Goguryeo, so their subordinates think that they should send envoys to Fuyu and unite with King Fuyu to involve Goguryeo." Jia Xu added.

Lin Nan nodded and said, "Very good, in your opinion, who is the right person to send to Fuyu?" ”

"Captain Gongsun Kang is the most suitable, I heard that King Fuyu had a friendship with Gongsun Du back then, if Gongsun Kang is sent to Fuyu, King Fuyu may agree to the alliance."

"Well, according to your wishes, send Gongsun Kang as an envoy and send an envoy to Fuyu. Other than that. Just in case, let Guo Jia send an envoy to Jizhou, he and many of the strategists under Yuan Shao's account are friends, and it is only appropriate for him to come forward. ”

"No! What else is there to take the initiative? ”

"Immediately order Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Xu Huang, Chen Dao, Wen Ping, Bian Xi, and Xiahou Lan to assemble 5,000 Feiyu troops, and then let Xu You and Sima Lang go to Liaodong with me. You sit in Jicheng, and the recruits are handed over to Tai Shici, Zhou Cang, Lin Yang and others for training, and you are fully responsible for the rest of the government affairs. ”

"No!"

After the order was issued, all the generals were actively executing, and Lin Nan asked people to load 20,000 newly made crossbows from the Hanlin Academy, and after explaining with his wife Diao Chan and two fiancées, he took 5,000 Feiyu troops, pulled the crossbows and some necessary grain and grass, and headed towards Liaodong.

Zhao Yuntun Bingdai County. Lu Hengtun soldiers Fan Yang, Liao Hua Tun soldiers went to Beijing, Pang Detun soldiers Yangcheng, Zhang Hetun soldiers Yunzhou, five soldiers and horses are heavily guarded, in addition to Tai Shici, Zhou Cang, Lin Yang, Wu Li Deng, Qiu Liju, Nanlou and others are stationed in Jicheng, responsible for the training of recruits and public security work in Jicheng.

The subordinates Lin Nan chose to take away this time were except for Bian Xi and Xia Houlan. The rest were people who had come to the tent without an inch, and he wanted to balance the credit. He selected these people and prepared to use them against the Dongyi people.

Dongyi is a general name for the Oriental nation by the Chinese people, and it is not a specific nation. Yi is also known as Zhuyi, Siyi, Dongyi, Xiyi, Nanyi, Jiuyi, etc. With the integration of Dongyi and Huaxia, Dongyi after the Qin and Han dynasties mainly refers to the Liaodongyi of the pre-Qin period, and the Japanese people are listed among them. It refers to the ethnic groups and countries in the East, and there are obvious differences from the pre-Qin and Dongyi in terms of region and ethnicity.

At this time, the Dongyi referred to were Goguryeo, Fuyu, Julou, Dongwofu, Zhanmo, Ma Han, Chen Han, Mu Han and others, among which Ma Han, Chen Han, and Mu Han are collectively called the Three Hans. Living in the southeast of the Korean Peninsula, Goguryeo, Fuyu, and Julou live in a large area of Liaodong in Liaodong, while Dongwofu and Zhanmo live in the east of Lelang County, bordering each other with Mahan, Chenhan, and Muhan.

The languages of these Dongyi are basically similar, and occasionally there are only zài accents, among which Yifuyu has the largest population and the most extensive area, but in terms of military strength, the Goguryeo people are the strongest.

In the early days of its existence, the Goguryeo people may have consisted of the Strange people and some of the Fuyu people who migrated to this area, and the term "Strange Strangers" did not originally refer to a definite ethnic entity, but simply a general term for some ancient tribes that appeared in this particular region of Liaodong by ancient historians of the Central Plains.

At the beginning of the establishment of Goguryeo, it was in a military confrontation with Fuyu for a long time. Fuyu had a very friendly relationship with the Central Plains Dynasty, and in order to contain the aggressive Goguryeo regime in the growing period, the Central Plains and Fuyu often coordinated militarily to attack Goguryeo. The Goguryeo people were brave and aggressive, and their people numbered about 70,000 or 80,000 people, both men and women, who could be soldiers, hunters in their leisure time, and soldiers in wartime.

The so-called three Koreas are just a general term, and the Korean people are divided into three kinds, among which there are dozens of large and small countries, 10,000 large countries, and 1,000 small countries, all of which are not unified with each other, and there are still mutual attacks on each other, which is the most chaotic place. But once the three Koreas united, the military strength was inferior to Goguryeo. The rest, such as Ru Lou, Dong Wo Fu, and Yan Mo, are relatively stable against the Han and are not aggressive.

Throughout history, the ethnic minorities in Liaodong are known for their toughness, and the later Khitans and Jurchens are all from Liaodong, and Liaodong is also the most chaotic region in history. How to deal with Dongyi, Lin Nan had long been confident, as early as when he arrived in Liaodong, he planned to control the entire Liaodong region in his own hands, but the military strength was not enough at that time, and this time he was going to do a big job in Liaodong.

Along the West Liaoning Corridor, because everyone rode horses, the roads were also very smooth, it can be said that the road was smooth, and in ten days, thousands of people entered Changli County. After resting for a day in Changli County, he changed to a war horse, and after saying goodbye to Changli Taishou Gaixun, he turned around and went to Liaodong.

At the end of March, Lin Nan returned to Liaodong again, and Liaodong Taishou Guoyuan and Changshi Wang Lie welcomed Lin Nan into Liaodong City.

As soon as he entered the city, Guoyuan told the news of Goguryeo's increase in troops on the border, and at the same time told Lin Nan about the discussion with Hu Yu, the Taishou of Lelang County, these days.

After Lin Nan listened to Guoyuan's message, he asked, "Is this what Hu Yu meant?" ”

Guo Yuan nodded: "Hu Ciyue specially sent someone to Liaodong, hoping that the lord would approve his construction." ”

Lin Nandao: "Hu Yu has been guarding Lelang County for a long time, and he already knows the local customs and habits very well, since this is his proposal, then I respect his opinion." ”

Guoyuan said: "Hu Ciyue just sent someone here the day before yesterday. He said that he had successfully persuaded the three Korean states to ask the lord not to think of the southeast, and took the initiative to lead troops to attack Goguryeo and attack Goguryeo with the lord. ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "There are many countries in the three Koreas, and Hu Yu persuaded the three countries to submit to me with just one mouth, and this talent is indeed not to be underestimated." Zhong Lifu's aftermath is really extraordinary. It seems that I left Jean in Lelang County to be a condescending talent. It's just that if he leads his troops north, who will guard Lelang County? ”

Wang Lie hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, my subordinates are willing to stay in Lelang County to suppress the people of Sanhan." ”

"Report—" A scout ran in from outside with a long voice, shouting loudly, "My lord, the king of Goguryeo has sent another 5,000 troops to the border. ”

Lin Nan listened. felt that Goguryeo really had to make inches, and the road of Sanhan was far away, if he went to attack Sanhan, it might make the Sanhan, who were not in harmony with each other, twist into a rope, and now Hu Yu actually persuaded the people of Sanhan to submit to him, so he didn't have to spend this force, and besides, Sanhan didn't have any resources there, as long as Sanhan surrendered to him as a vassal state. In the future, the three Koreas will be slowly divided.

He stood up suddenly, and immediately ordered, "Wang Lie." If you change horses or people, you will immediately rush to Lelang County in person, take up the post of Lelang Taishou, and let Hu Yu lead 5,000 elite troops to attack Goguryeo in the north, and I will personally lead the army to attack Marudu City. ”

"No!"

"Guoyuan, you send scouts again. Quickly went to inform Chu Yan and Yu Poison, and asked the two of them to lead their troops to the east to attack Goguryeo, and teamed up with their husbands and the rest of the people to carry out a flanking attack. A month later, I was waiting for them at Marudu Castle. ”

"No!"

After the order was issued, Lin Nan distributed the crossbows he brought to the Liaodong garrison. With 5,000 Feiyu troops and 8,000 Liaodong garrisons, he quickly rushed to the border between Liaodong and Goguryeo, and went east along the Daliang River, preparing to fight with the Goguryeo army in Xicheng.

Xicheng belongs to Xiangping County, Lin Nan once followed the Daliang River eastward to the border of Liaodong and Goguryeo, and he remembered that this location was Xicheng, so he directly set up a huge dock fort there, named Xicheng.

At this time, Lin Nan and Goguryeo were tense, Lin Nan was also fearless, and the newly made crossbow came in handy, plus he also brought the crossbow car, transfer machine, car and other equipment used to defend the city, and defended Xicheng with a small number of troops, and then counterattacked The plan was set, and a big war was about to start......

Xicheng was formerly known as "Xicheng Lake", which is rich in mineral deposits and is known as the "Geological Museum", which is famous for producing high-quality coking coal, low-phosphorus iron and special steel. At this time, Xicheng was still a barren mountain range, because it bordered Goguryeo, it was often harassed by the Goguryeo people, so there were not many people, only a few hunters.

The mountain of Xicheng belongs to the remaining vein and tail vein of Baishan, there is both the hidden of the mountain and the width of the original, and the huge dock fort of Xicheng is built on Pingshan.

Pingshan is a mountain, not the city of Pingshan in later generations. Pingshan is located in the south of Xicheng, with an altitude of 657 meters, the mountain is majestic, and it is the stone of Xicheng. The top is flat, with an area of more than 250 acres, so it is called "Pingshan".

The top of the mountain is surrounded by cliffs, like a knife and an axe, and it is handsome. Standing on the cliff at the north end, the huge mountain city has an unobstructed view, which is really an excellent place to watch the mountain city. Pingshan is the guardian of Xicheng, which has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and it is also the east gate to defend Liaodong.

As soon as he entered the Xicheng Dock Fort, Sun Qing, the captain in charge of guarding the place, welcomed Lin Nan and the others into the Dock Fort, and immediately reported to Lin Nan the movements of the Goguryeo people.

"Lord Qiyu, the king of Goguryeo sent a total of 30,000 troops to fill the mountains and forests east of Xicheng, from the Wunu Mountain to the Guanmen Mountain, the Nine Peaks of the Iron Brake Mountain, and the Goguryeo warriors of the Miaohou Mountain were connected to each other, flowing in various valleys, and it was difficult for his subordinates to find out where the main force of Goguryeo was, so they had to stick to this dock fort and wait for reinforcements." Sun Qing arched his hand.

After listening to Sun Qing's report, Lin Nan said: "You have done a good job, you have made a lot of contributions in the past two years, and it is already great to go from a county lieutenant to a school lieutenant." Your men are all local recruits who are familiar with the terrain, right? ”

"Yes, my subordinates were ordered to build a dock fort here a year ago, and after the dock fort was built, a thousand hunters who were familiar with the terrain were recruited here, and trained them according to the training methods of the lord, and it has become an army that can take charge of itself, although the Goguryeo army has 30,000 people, as long as the subordinates stick to this place. They also did not want to enter Liaodong from here. ”

Lin Nan felt very relieved to see that Sun Qing was already a lot more mature than before, and he didn't have that impetuousness. He remembered that when Chu Yan, Yu Poison, and Sun Qing first joined his army, Sun Qing was still a thief who could only complain, and he had no military temperament at all. Shibei was impressed for three days, and he was thinking about what would become of Chu Yan, Yu Poison, and Hu Yu, his subordinates who he hadn't seen for more than a year.

I am very familiar with the five women mountain, Guanmen Mountain, Jiuding Iron Brake Mountain, and Lin Nan of the mountain behind the temple mentioned by Sun Qing. These mountains are the tourist resorts of Xicheng, basically from far and near to become an arc, in addition, there are still Xicheng water cave, Tanggou, Nantianmen, Dashihu and other tourist places, but in the 87 years of Goguryeo A.D., here are all barren mountains and mountains, the natural conditions are very bad, not only can hide soldiers, but also can set up ambushes. This brought invisible pressure to Lin Nan's attack on Goguryeo.

I don't know which mountain, which cave, or near which lake the main force of the other side is hiding, so it will be very difficult to fight for the mountains aimlessly, needless to say, the fierce beasts and poisonous snakes in the mountains, I am afraid that all I will encounter are small troops of Goguryeo, and it will be too laborious and prolonged little by little. Although his subordinates are all well-trained and well-equipped elites. But he does not have an advantage in terms of troops, if the forces are too scattered. It will only weaken their own combat effectiveness.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Nan spoke again: "Sun Qing, are there any of your subordinates who are fluent in the Goguryeo language?" ”

Sun said lightly: "Yes, but not much." I don't know what the lord commands? ”

"Gather all those people and let them change into the same clothes as the Goguryeo people, and let them dress up like the Goguryeo people. They were sent to the surrounding mountains and forests, and as soon as they found the location of the main Goguryeo army, they immediately came back to report that I had never fought against the Goguryeo people, and I did not know how effective the Goguryeo people were. In order to reduce unnecessary casualties just in case, we first took a defensive position, and then took the initiative to attack after learning some news about Goguryeo. ”

Sun said "no", turned around and walked outside.

In the hall, Xu You and Sima Lang were all frowning, and Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Wei Yan, Chen Dao, Wen Ping, Bian Xi, and Xiahou Lan were also worried.

Suddenly, Bian Xi stood up and arched his hand towards Lin Nan and said: "Lord, my subordinates have been to Goguryeo, and they have memorized the terrain along the way, the terrain in this area is dangerous, and soldiers can be hidden everywhere, and the subordinates think that when the troops are dispatched, they will break through the areas of Guanmen Mountain, Jiuding Iron Brake Mountain, Miaohou Mountain, Tanggou, Nantianmen, Dashihu and other areas, and then point to Wunu Mountain, which is the farthest in Liaodong in Wunu Mountain, and is adjacent to the Goguryeo people's Susheng Bone City, if you can occupy Wunu Mountain, you can take advantage of the situation to capture Susheng Bone City, Give Goguryeo a dismount. ”

Xu You said: "This method is not appropriate, our army is insufficient, we should find the main force of the enemy army, and fight a decisive battle with it. ”

Sima Lang said: "Since the Goguryeo people have increased their troops to 30,000, they must have some plans against Liaodong, so it is better to wait and see what happens, wait for them to attack on their own, and then strike a preemptive attack." ”

"Why don't you lure the enemy deep and pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?" A delicate female voice suddenly came out in the middle of the hall.

Lin Nan looked around, saw that there was no woman in the hall, when his eyes swept to the door of the hall, he saw a thin figure with a familiar back, he immediately pointed to the person outside the door and said: "Since you are quietly following, then come in, you don't have to dodge, you can hide from the first day of junior high school, and you can't hide from the fifteenth, you always have to show up." ”

Everyone in the hall was confused, not knowing who Lin Nan was referring to, and looked back at the outside of the hall, which was also normal. Suddenly, a soldier with a steel gun outside the hall door turned around, revealing a delicate and lovely face, and everyone couldn't help but be taken aback after seeing it, and they all thought in their hearts that it was her.

"Hey...... Brother has good eyesight, I didn't expect me to hide so secretly, but you still found out, Sakura admires. The soldier standing outside the hall was none other than Lin Nan's sister-in-law, Ouyang Yinying.

Ouyang Yinying raised the steel gun in her hand with a little difficulty, put the steel gun against the wall, and then walked straight into the hall, first bowed to Lin Nan, and then bowed to the civil and military forces in the hall, and then said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Sakura is polite. ”

As soon as the words fell, all the civil and military officials expressed their politeness, no matter how they said, the person in front of them was also the righteous sister of the lord, and they couldn't help but give face.

"Sakura-chan. When did you come along? Lin Nan didn't mean to blame Ouyang Yinying, because before leaving, Diao Chan recommended Ouyang Yinying to him, and Ouyang Yinying also recommended herself, which was nothing more than saying that she had succeeded in her studies, and it was time to show her skills, so she might as well take Dongyi as a test. But. At that time, he was vetoed by Lin Nan, and he did not have the habit of taking women to the battlefield.

"Brother, I have been following you since you left Jicheng, in order not to let you find me, I didn't show up in front of you all the way, until I got here, I didn't show up, I wanted to hear how my brother dealt with the Goguryeo people." Ouyang Yinying also said with a sincere face.

Lin Nan said: "Since I came, I won't drive you away anymore." What do you mean when you just said luring the enemy deep and pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? ”

Ouyang Yinying smiled. Learn from all the civil and military people and hug their fists and say: "Lord Qi, Sakura means that to show weakness to the Goguryeo people, first give up the dock fort of Xicheng and give it to the Goguryeo people, so that all the Goguryeo people will emerge from the mountains and forests." Let them mistakenly think that our army is afraid of the Goguryeo people and retreat without a fight. ”

"Give up? This dock fort is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you give up, it will be difficult to come back. Xia Houlan hurriedly said.

Ouyang Yinying said: "I didn't say that I really gave up?" I mean. Pretending to evacuate this dock fort, pretending to show the Goguryeo people, and then setting up an ambush inside the dock fort, as soon as they entered, we closed the door and beat the dogs. The ambush troops in the dock fort combined with the pretended evacuation army outside could surround the Goguryeo people, annihilate a part of the Goguryeo people first, give them a dismount, and then directly march to the Gonu Mountain. The soldiers are under the city of Susheng Bone City, and they will definitely be able to make the Goguryeo people frightened. ”

When they heard this, they thought it was possible, but they were amazed that a little girl could come up with such a good plan.

Lin Nan appreciated Ouyang Yinying's wonderful speech, thinking that after Ouyang's family, it was indeed not in vain, a little woman had just read the art of war for a long time, and she actually came up with such a strategy. He nodded, affirmed Ouyang Yinying, and asked, "Sakura-chan, are you willing to be included in my think tank?" ”

Ouyang Yinying said happily after hearing this: "Yes, I have long wanted the lord to include me in the think tank." ”

"Okay, then you will be included in my think tank from now on, and you will join the army as a woman, and you will learn more like the seniors in the think tank in the future, you know?"

"Got it."

Lin Nan immediately returned to the truth and ordered: "Wei Yan, Chen Dao, and Wen Ping, the three of you each led two thousand crossbowmen to ambush in the dock fort, and I took the rest of the people to pretend to retreat. ”

"No!"

After the order was completed, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, and Sun Qing began to arrange the evacuation and make a big noise, and the soldiers who were supposed to be sent out were also urgently recalled.

In the hall, there were only two people left, Lin Nan and Ouyang Yinying, and Lin Nan said to Ouyang Yinying: "Sakura-chan, if we can attack the capital city of Marudu and capture the king of Goguryeo, how do you think we should treat the king of Goguryeo, and how should we deal with the Dongyi people in this vast land of Liaodong?" ”

"I once went to Goguryeo, and I have seen the face of the Goguryeo king Bogu, who is greedy, arrogant, and a little arrogant. The people of Goguryeo have become overwhelmed by years of war, although they are brave and fierce by nature, but they have also reached the end of the crossbow, if this brother can conquer the capital of Marudu in one fell swoop, it is completely possible to move all the people of Goguryeo to Liaodong and set up a county to manage. Ouyang Yinying replied.

Lin Nan nodded, and asked again, "Then how to deal with the problem of the people of Dongyi?" ”

Ouyang Yinying said: "Once Goguryeo is destroyed, the rest of the Dongyi will all submit to the elder brother, and the elder brother only needs to set up a Dongyi lieutenant to govern it, leaving a part of the army to garrison here, on the one hand, to maintain friendly exchanges with Dongyi, and on the other hand, to stabilize the brother's foundation in Liaodong." Dongyi has a large number of people and a population of more than one million, and if this million people are included in the rule of his brother, he must take his time. Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, sending troops to Goguryeo is also to deter Dongyi. ”

"That's right, I didn't see it, you still have this wisdom in your brain, which really impresses me." Lin Nan said with a smile.

Ouyang Yinying said: "My brother often fights outside, and he can't even take care of Sister Cicada, how can he think of my younger sister?" ”

Lin Nan stood up, walked to Ouyang Yinying's side, and patted her little brain with a smile. Said slowly: "Okay, my female joined the army, we should also pack up and leave here, this will be a big battlefield in a while." ”

All the work was ready, Wei Yan, Chen Dao, and Wen Ping each led two thousand soldiers armed with repeater crossbows and steel knives hanging from their waists. The soldiers, all covered in chain mail and wearing a steel helmet on their heads, were all ambushed in a secret position in the dock fort.

Lin Nan took Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Xu You, Sima Lang, Sun Qing, Ouyang Yinying and other 5,000 steps to leave Xicheng Wubao, in order to confuse the Goguryeo people, everyone made a noise of gongs and drums, waved flags, and pulled out the grain and grass stored in the dock fort together.

After retreating thirty miles all the way, Lin Nan let the army die down, and then slowly returned to the two miles outside the Xicheng Wubao with the army, with men and horses. All 5,000 horses were hidden in the nearby mountains and forests, and scouts were sent to monitor every move outside the Xicheng Dock Fort, and if there was any change, they would immediately pounce on it.

It's April, and in the mountains and forests, birds chirp gracefully, and the moisture of the earth mixes with the fragrance of weeds and leaves. The blue sky is like a vast and quiet sea of people. There is not a single cloud in it. The air is moist and refreshing. In the sun. The surrounding distant mountains seemed to be washed, vivid and verdant, and it seemed to be much closer and steeper in front of it.

Most of the Goguryeo people made a living from hunting, and they were very familiar with every grass and tree in the mountains and forests. In order to be able to completely ambush him, Lin Nan followed Sun Qing's construction, used grass and trees to cover up, caught some birds and put them in the mountains and forests, and also got some animal feces to cover up.

The sun is shining in spring. The rise in temperature made the people who came down in ambush a little uncomfortable, and everyone covered their mouths and noses, because the smell of the feces of many beasts mixed together was so smoky that the surrounding mountains and forests were stinky.

After about half an hour, Lin Nan couldn't bear it anymore, so he took a few big breaths, and saw that the Goguryeo people hadn't come yet, and couldn't help but feel numb.

Sun Qing saw Lin Nan's impatience, so he hurriedly said: "Lord, the Goguryeo people are all hunters who are good at using bows and arrows, they are very familiar with forests and mountains, and they are also very good at hunting, their noses are even as sensitive as the noses of dogs, if you don't cover up the smell of people in this way, if the Goguryeo scouts arrive, you will know that there is an ambush when you sniff it." So, please bear with me. ”

Lin Nan nodded, staring at the dock fort on the top of the mountain not far away, and said to himself: "I hope Wei Yan, Chen Dao, and Wen Ping can endure that stench." ”

Sun said lightly: "My lord, please rest assured, before leaving, my subordinates have already placed all the qiē in the dock fort, and the feces of those animals are enough to cover the smell on their bodies." ”

Before Lin Nan could answer, he saw a strong man wearing animal skins and holding feather arrows in his hand show his face from the dense forest in the distance, and he hurriedly whispered to the people around him: "Pay attention to concealment!" ”

Seeing that the Goguryeo man was burly, he first cautiously probed the probe, and when he saw that there was no one around, he jumped out and ran forward quickly, standing on a big rock and came with a clear roar, shouting three times in a row, and after seeing that no one paid attention to him, he happily waved with his hand behind him, and more than 2,000 people poured out of the dense forest in an instant, and the number was still increasing.

Ouyang Yinying once sent an envoy to Goguryeo, and when she saw that Lin Nan was a little curious about the Goguryeo people, she whispered beside her: "Brother, the Goguryeo people have five tribes, namely the Juan Nu Tribe, the Absolute Slave Tribe, the Shun Slave Tribe, the Guan Nu Tribe, and the Guilou Tribe. The clan of the king of Dajia is also known as the ancient chick. Zhu Dajia also set up his own envoys and ancestors, just like the ministers of the Qing Doctor's family. If they come across a high seat with the king's officials, they are not allowed to be in the same ranks with the king's envoys and the ancestors of the king's family. Its people like to sing and dance, and men and women gather in groups at dusk to sing and play. The bow of worship stretched forward a foot, and the others were similar to the Wuhuan people. ”

After Lin Nan listened, he asked, "Who came to lead the army this time?" ”

Sun Qingdao: "The leader of the army will be the eldest son of Goguryeo King Bogu, Baqi, and the deputy will be Dajia Youju and the main book, and the three of them will each command 10,000 soldiers, but they will still be dominated by Baqi and obey Baqi's orders at any time." ”

"It's Becky? Sakura-chan, how is Hatchy? Lin Nan asked.

Ouyang Yinying said: "Baqi is the eldest son of Bogu, he is brave and ruthless, has a strong personality, and is cruel by nature, if my brother can kill him, it will be a great happiness for Goguryeo." ”

Xun You, Sima Lang, Huang Zhong, and Xu Huang were not very familiar with this place, and in addition to listening to Ouyang Yinying and Sun Qing's dictation, they were staring at the Goguryeo soldiers in front with their eyes.

Lin Nan "shh

The Tibetan soldiers in the Xicheng Dock Fort also endured the unpleasant stench extremely much, and when they were about to endure it anymore, they found that an enemy appeared, which made their eyes light up, and the whole person became very happy, in addition to strengthening the secret, it was to clench the repeater in their hands.

The gate of the Dock Fort was hidden, and the Goguryeo people were indeed very cautious, and they walked to the gate in front, glanced through the crack in the gate and looked inside the Dock Fort, and then waited by the city gate, turned and went to the back to report the military situation.

On a slope that is not too steep, 5,000 Goguryeo people are standing there with rattan cards, longbows and quivers around their waists, the formation is very stable, everyone is wearing an animal skin, and their hair is combed with two pigtails, under the animal skin is a bare shoulder, and the animal skin is only draped diagonally, four or five of them are draped in tiger skin aprons, making them the same as Sun Wukong, and most of the rest are surrounded by wolf skins.

In the middle of the procession, the figure of a person is particularly eye-catching, not his figure, nor his appearance, but his dress. The man was also wearing a beast skin, and this animal skin was a white tiger skin, which showed the nobility of his status, and was particularly conspicuous in the team of five thousand people.

All of them were infantrymen, not riding, wearing coarse cloth shoes on their feet, two bare legs exposed under their animal skin skirts, each with their thighs and calves showing the muscles of their legs, and each of them with hideous faces and weapons in their hands, waiting for the order of the young man with the white tiger skin.

"Who's that man?" Lin Nan pointed to the man with a white tiger skin, and whispered to Ouyang Yinying.

Ouyang Yinying looked at it carefully, and then said to Lin Nan: "Lord Qiqi, that person is Baqi, the person in the tiger skin next to him is Dajia Youju, and the person in the gray wolf skin behind him is the master bookkeeper. ”

"Strange ......" Lin Nan's brows furrowed, and he said in a low voice, "Baqi, Youju, and Ranren are all here, but the troops they brought out at the beginning are only 5,000 people, not that there are 30,000 troops, why don't you see the other 25,000 soldiers, is there any deception in this?" ”

At this moment, Lin Nan and the others, who were ambushed outside the dock fort, heard a wolf howl at the same time, and then a man with white hair ran out of the dense forest facing the gate of the dock fort. The silver wolf walked on noble hooves, held its head high, and its eyes exuded a cannibalistic look, which made people feel intimidated when they saw it.

The silver wolf twisted his head and looked around, and the peaceful wolf face suddenly became hideous, revealing two sharp fangs of Bai Sensen, and his eyes were fiercely waiting for Lin Nan in the woods where he was hiding. (To be continued......)
