Chapter 85 Determination

"What do you think of this Liaodong City, Fuyu City, General?" Gao Jianwu rubbed his forehead and asked.

"Every year of fighting, the soldiers have long been tired of it, fortunately, they are all protecting their home and country, so they have no complaints, but the people's livelihood is withering, the people are not clothed, and they are really powerless to fight, after all, there are not many soldiers in the area of Liaodong City." Eji Wende sighed.

"Do you want to leave it alone, or talk to them?" Gao Jianwu asked.

"It's... I don't know what you think, Dawang? Etozhi Wende hesitated and asked.

"Since I took over the throne, I have occupied more than ten cities and two and a half counties in Silla, if I lose Liaodong City again, how can I be worthy of the first emperor, how can I be worthy of the soldiers who desperately protected Liaodong City and died in battle." Gao Jianwu said with a melancholy expression.

"So the old minister has a suggestion." Hearing that Gao Jianwu didn't want his reputation to fall again, Yizhi Wende was silent for a moment.

"General, please." Gao Jianwu hurriedly said.

"Although the imperial court is unable to go on a northern expedition, the family still has a lot of strength." Oji Wende reminded.

"What does the general mean to let the Great Pair Lu and them go on the expedition?"

"Yes, as long as the king promised to lay down all the places he promised to give them as fiefs, they will definitely be tempted to think about it."

"This ......"

"In this way, even if they defeat and the Central Plains attack again in the future, they will bear the brunt of the attack, but their strength will be damaged, and our Goguryeo strength will be damaged." Eji Wende frowned, he couldn't be sure whether his suggestion was right or wrong.

"Yes, not only can you recover the lost territory, but you can also weaken them, killing two birds with one stone, this king agrees!" Gao Jianwu's eyes rolled, thought for a while, and said firmly.

"Lao Chen understands, but I'm afraid it's too late this year."

"It's okay, I'm contacting the people and asking them to contain them from Buyeo City."

"The king is wise!"

………………

"At the end of September, the imperial court sent Wang Shichong to suppress bandits, but Gao Kaidao occupied a lot of places, and now Gao Kaidao calls himself a general, with 300,000 troops." Zou Yu took a piece of information and looked at it and said.

"In other words, this high opening road is already next to us, and it is likely to conflict." Li Keshi touched his beard and said.

"This may not be, now everyone's eyes are on the Central Plains, and I am afraid that we will not pay much attention to us." Zhang Zhongjian said.

"But we sent good news to the imperial court a few more times, and I'm afraid it's already known to the whole world." Fang Xuanling reminded.

"This..."Li Keshi couldn't help frowning, this suggestion was originally made by him, but he didn't expect it to cause trouble so soon.

"In fact, the military advisor doesn't have to care, there will be a mistake if he wins, at least the general's reputation is there, if I guess correctly, I'm afraid there will be a reward from the imperial court in the near future." Fang Xuanling comforted.

"Changshi doesn't need to be comforted, although we sent good news, not to mention whether it can be sent to the emperor, I'm afraid it's more to let others guard against us, and even if the court knows, it will only use us as guns, borrow knives to kill people, either attack Goguryeo, or conquer Youzhou and other places, this is a mistake." Li Keshi said with a wry smile.

"In my opinion, this is not a bad thing, the reputation of the generals is the biggest gain, as for whether to send troops or not, it is not up to us to decide." Fang Xuanling analyzed.

"Changshi said that it is, and it is not up to us to decide how to do it." Zhang Zhongjian grinned.

"Goguryeo is the problem we need to face right now, if I guess correctly, after the year, Goguryeo will spend a lot of money to recruit the people of the Tatar to go on the expedition!" Fang Xuanling said confidently.

"The Tartar and we have a lot of wool trade, shouldn't it?" Zhang Zhongjian frowned.

"No, it's very likely, because although the wool business is large, the price is not high, and the people are likely to be tempted, after all, the area around Heishui is occupied by us." Li Keshi supported Fang Xuanling's speculation.

"General rest assured, we Xi people are not afraid of their people, and our subordinates will gather warriors for training." The Collector stood up and said loudly.

was appointed as a general by Zou Yu, but the person felt that he was valued, and the life he originally longed for also fell on the head of the tribe, which made him very convinced of Zou Yu, not to mention that he got a thousand steel arm bows and a thousand steel knives this time.

These things, in their eyes, are completely divine weapons, and it can be said that now the Kedu is already a fanatical supporter of Zou Yu, and when he hears that he is going to fight, he can't wait to immediately pull out the tiger head embroidered spring knife on his waist and kill it.

"General An Yuan, don't worry, the battle has to be fought, but it will also go after the year, and I guarantee that Xi Ren will be the vanguard at that time." Zou Yu smiled and comforted.

The Xi people used to live in the mountains, of course, they were not afraid of the cavalry of the Immortals, even if they went down the mountain, the chariot still had an advantage over the cavalry, so the people who were not afraid of it were the Warriors.

Xi people are the best archers and mountain soldiers, of course Zou Yu will not use this indiscriminately, and now equip them with steel arm bows, which is to use their archery skills, steel arm recurve bows, not as long as hard bows, and the power is about the same as hard bows, and the strength required is the same as soft bows, so Xi people especially like it.

As for the new steel knife, for people who often walk in the mountains and forests, it is an artifact, the steel knife of the taunting people is special, the front is not an ordinary point, but a small shovel, so that they can not only be used to open the road, but also as a shovel, digging stoves, digging traps.

"Is there a way to win it over?" Zhang Zhongjian asked.

"The Tatar clan is powerful, and we are losing money in our hands, I am afraid that they will not give up and will definitely take the opportunity to attack; Goguryeo will not sit back and watch, and in a certain opinion, it will definitely attack from one west and one north. Fang Xuanling analyzed.

"Changshi's words are reasonable, with my understanding of Goguryeo, this dispatch must be the main force of the family, so I suggest that we also attack and defend." Li Keshi agreed.

"The affairs of the war situation are arranged by the military division." Zou Yu bowed his hand and saluted.

"So your subordinates are welcome, if there is anything wrong, please correct it." Li Keshi replied, and then said his arrangement.

"The terrain of Anshi is dangerous, and Goguryeo must have attacked with people and horses near Jian'an, and it is a partial division; The main force of Goguryeo must have attacked the areas of Hengsan, Baiyan, and Gaimu; Therefore, we adopted the method of Tian Ji horse racing, General Su took 5,000 foot soldiers to guard Hengshan Pass, General Zhang, General Kedu led his people to guard Baiyan City, and the two ladies led 10,000 soldiers to guard Gaimu City; I, General Qin, and the two generals of the Fang family are guarding Anshi, you just need to hold on, and support you immediately after we break the enemy. ”

"I'm going to meet with General Han to meet the people of the Martial Arts?" Zou Yu asked.

"Yes, the general has a very high reputation among the Ya people, and it is just right for that side, I believe that there is a general, and you will never dare to act rashly in the Ya people, and when Goguryeo is defeated, he will naturally withdraw his troops!" Li Keshi explained.
