Cao Cao's dispatch was not a surprise attack. In fact, as early as when Yang Gao led the army to recover the combined forces of Zhu Yuanzhang and Yuan Shao in Hebei, Cao Cao had secretly transferred men and horses to the border of eastern Liaodong.

It's just that Cao Cao knew that the Sui army and the Jurchen Turks would inevitably break out into fierce battles in order to fight for Youzhou. According to Cao Cao's cognition, the Turkic Jurchens controlled millions of strings, and the soldiers were fierce, and the Sui army was afraid that it would easily fall into a stalemate when it went north.

And when the time came, Cao Cao believed that Emperor Yang Gao of the Sui Dynasty would definitely notice Goguryeo, which was second to the Jurchens. As long as the Sui Dynasty comes, Cao Cao can take advantage of the fire to rob the sky-high price, and then send troops to Liaodong after getting enough benefits.

But what Cao Cao didn't expect was that the envoys of the Sui Dynasty did not wait, but rumors spread in Goguryeo, and many Goguryeo magnates also said that Cao Cao had no merit and no merit, and it was difficult to assume the position of Mo Lizhi, hoping that he would abdicate and make way for Xian and return to power to the king of Goguryeo.

On the other hand, Cao Ren, Cao Wenzhao, Xiahoudun, and other generals who were in charge of the front-line military power for Cao Cao also wrote to Cao Cao, claiming that the 100,000-strong army stayed at the border all day without triggering it, and the morale was demoralized.

At this point, Cao Cao could only secretly scold the Sui Emperor Yang Gao for being rigid and stubborn, and hurriedly explained to his beloved son Cao Pi Cao Zhi to stay in Pyongyang and personally command the army to attack Liaodong.

At first, Wanyan Lou also noticed the movement of the Goguryeo army, and also secretly arranged the army to be armed.

However, as time passed, Wanyan Lou also found that the military discipline of the Goguryeo army was lax. In addition, after the rise of the Jurchens, the Goguryeo army was beaten in Liaodong and occupied Liaodong strongly, and in fact, he looked down on the Goguryeo army extremely in his heart, and gradually relaxed his vigilance, but he was caught off guard by Cao Cao.

Moreover, with the successive indiscriminate invasion of Cao Cao and others, the strength of Goguryeo's army did rise.

Since marching into Liaodong, Cao Cao has vigorously rectified military discipline with the assistance of Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Cao Wenzhao and others. After a failed siege, thousands of officers and soldiers who retreated without permission were beheaded, a move that greatly shocked the Goguryeo army. From then on, the Goguryeo army marched forward when they heard the drums, and they stopped when they heard the gold, and they did not dare to have the idea of fleeing from the battle.

Wanyan Lou Room is also a famous Jurchen general, and has made great achievements in destroying Liao and attacking the Song Dynasty in history. But Cao Cao's use of troops is also unusual, not only supplemented by Cao Wenzhao and Cao Ren, but also Xu Chu, Cao Zhang, Cao Bianjiao and other fierce generals charged into battle. Most of the female Allah forces were taken to the Youzhou battlefield by Yan A's bone, and Yan Lou's room was difficult to support, and finally returned defeated.

Cao Cao led the army all the way forward, attacking the city and recovering the land, and the troops approached Shangjing.

Wanyan Lou was helpless, so he could only send a quick meeting to ask Wanyan Aguta to send troops back for help.

。。。。。。。。。。

"Let's talk about it, what should I do now?"

Inside the big tent, Wanyan Agu's face was already difficult to see, and his voice was hoarse.

"The wolf lord, the last general is not talented, I am willing to lead an elite army, return to Beijing, and dedicate Cao Cao's head to the wolf lord!"

The one who spoke was Wanyan Shou, the nephew of Wanyan Aguta, a fierce general who came in and out of Yue, born with a leopard's head and tiger eyes, but he was brave and unscrupulous, and he was not very loved by Wanyan Aguta.

"How do you think you're better than Hu Liyan (Wanyan Lou Room name)?"

Wan Yan glanced at Yan Shou coldly and spoke.

"The last general ... Consider oneself inferior to another! ”

Wan Yan Shou opened his mouth and muttered.

Wanyan Lou Room is Wanyan Agu's right-hand man after he started the army, and he has made outstanding achievements, and Wanyan Zonghan's status in the army is on par with Wanyan Zonghan, and he is deeply respected by the Jurchen generals. Wan Yan Shou is reckless and ignorant, and he doesn't dare to compare himself to Wan Yan Lou.

Wanyan Agu waved his hand to signal Wanyan Shou to retreat, and said in a deep voice: "Even the defeat of Hu Liyan is so miserable, it can only show that Goguryeo has already gone out this time, and it is useless to go back to a partial division." ”

"Is the wolf lord planning to withdraw his troops from Youzhou?"

Wanyan Zonghan heard the meaning of Wanyan Aguda, and immediately said out loud.

Wanyan nodded and said, "Liaodong is the foundation of our Jurchens. In addition, today's events have also made me understand that no matter how nice Temujin said, when the day comes to repel the Sui army, he will definitely start a war with us immediately.

Our Jurchens are no better than the Turks, our population and territory are too small, if we really start a full-scale war, the victory is too small, but it will only make Goguryeo pick up a bargain. ”

Wanyan Zonghan turned his head and glanced at Wanyan Zongbi, with Wanyan Zongwang, Nurhachi and others dying in battle, now only Wanyan Zongbi still has some overall views.

Wanyan Zongbi lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up and nodded to Wanyan Zonghan who was looking at him, and said: "What the wolf lord said is not unreasonable, but the last general thinks that all parts of Youzhou can be abandoned, but Linyu Pass cannot be abandoned. ”

"Not bad!"

Wanyan Zonghan immediately echoed when he heard this: "Linyu Pass is the key point, it is an important throat town in the east of Youzhou, and it is also the only place for our army to go south to Youzhou, and it must not be handed over!" ”

Wanyan Aguta's original intention was also to keep Linyu Pass, and after trying to stabilize the situation in Liaodong, he went south again.

At that moment, Wanyan Aguda nodded and said, "Si Si (Wanyan Zongbi Nu's real name), you lead 30,000 elite soldiers to garrison Linyu Pass." ”

"The last general obeys!"

Wanyan Zongbi immediately clasped his fists and said loudly.

"Remember, you are only allowed to defend against the enemy in the pass, and you are not allowed to go out to attack the enemy."

Wanyan Agu said in a deep voice: "Let Temujin and the Sui army fight in Youzhou to break the bloodstream, and wait for me to lead the army back to Liaodong to repel the group of Goguryeo bastards who took advantage of the fire to rob, and then wave my army to the south and reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

"The last general obeys!"

Wanyan Zongbi said loudly.

"Good!"

Wanyan Aguda ordered loudly: "Listen, you are not allowed to leak any news after returning to the camp. Tonight's third watch, give up all baggage, grain and grass, and withdraw the army immediately. ”

Unlike the Central Plains army, the Jurchen Turks and other nomadic peoples outside the Cypriot region did not attach importance to grain and grass, and their supplies almost all relied on plunder, and they could be grabbed wherever they went, and they acted quickly, coming and going like the wind, and as long as they rode on their horses, they could withdraw their troops immediately.

"The last general obeys!"

Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Shou, Ao Bai and other Jurchen generals said together.

"Before that, if the news of the withdrawal leaks out, let the Sui army and the Turks know, hum!" Wanyan looked around at the people in the tent with a cold face.

"The last general understands!"

Although Wanyan Aguda didn't say it explicitly, Wanyan Zonghan and the others couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and said in unison at the moment: "Don't worry, the wolf lord will be tight-lipped after the last general goes back, and he will never allow the slightest leakage of news." ”
