Qi State, Yanjing City.

"Meng Weijun takes the order!" A eunuch walked into the Meng Weijun Mansion in Yanjing.

This is the eunuch who conveyed Qi Xiaobai's order, and they came to Yanjing with Qi Xiaobai's royal decree.

Qi Jie walked out and looked at the eunuch: "Father-in-law, what is King Huan's purpose for letting you come here?" ”

"Meng Weijun, kneel down and listen to the order!" The eunuch said.

Qi Jiao knelt on the ground.

"Meng Weijun Qi Jiao, this king ordered you to command the Qingzhou Legion, the Northern Hebei Army, go out of the Shanhaiguan to face Goguryeo, join Zhou Baotong in the north and south, annex Goguryeo, and when the mission is completed, give the title of 'Gong'!" The eunuch said to Meng Weijun.

Now that Qi Xiaobai is already a king, he can be knighted as a duke, so he assured Qi Jiu that as long as Qi Jiu completes the task he assigned, he will make Qi Jiu a duke.

"Meng taste, Qi Jiao, lead the order!" The eunuch gave Qi Xiaobai's decree to Qi Jiu, Qi Jiu stood up, looked at the decree in his hand, and then looked at the strategist Feng Tan beside him: "Feng Chen, how do you think we can march?" ”

"Yu Meng Weijun, we should first explore the domestic situation in Goguryeo at this time!" Feng Tan said to Qi Jiao.

He did not suggest that Qi Jiu attack directly and rashly, but suggested that Qi Jiu first explore the situation in Goguryeo, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

If they rashly attacked Goguryeo and encountered the main force of Goguryeo, it would be a huge loss for them.

Of course, when they attack Goguryeo, they must be prepared for losses, but if they know the information of the other side, they can better deploy and minimize the losses.

Losses are not impossible, but if losses can be reduced, of course, they should be reduced to the minimum.

Qi Jie nodded: "What you said is reasonable, Strategist!" ”

Although Qi Jie learned of Qi Xiaobai's order, he did not attack rashly, but sent people to investigate the situation.

Two weeks later, Qi Jie learned the overall situation of Goguryeo, if he entered Goguryeo now, he would face the main army of Goguryeo, but if he could block the main army of Goguryeo, he could let Zhou Baotong's entry smoothly go north and approach Pyongyang City.

Now Zhou Baotong is confronting Goguryeo's general Jin Muren in Daejeon, as for whether Jin Muren can solve it, it depends on his Zhou Baotong's ability, and he can help Zhou Baotong drag down Goguryeo's main force, so that Zhou Baotong does not have to worry about Goguryeo's main force.

Of course, even if Zhou Baotong can't win against Jin Muren, as long as he can get Qi Jie to solve the main force of Goguryeo, he can rely on Qi Jie to win this war with Qi Jiu's help.

But in this case, he will not get a good reward, after all, he won the victory by Qi Jiao.

If he wants to get the highest reward, he must deal with Kim Mu-in himself, storm Seoul and then head for Pyongyang.

It can be said that the first merit of this war is the one who broke the city of Pyongyang, and whoever breaks through Pyongyang will be the first to break through.

Qi Jie sat on the chair and looked at Feng Chen: "This week, Baotong asked for help, just to let us contain the main force of Goguryeo, and they can enter Pyongyang City smoothly all the way!" ”

At this time, Qi Jie was a little unhappy, he felt that he was the one who suffered, but the biggest credit for this was to be given to Zhou Baotong, and Qi Jie didn't feel that Jin Muren's army could stop Zhou Baotong.

But he also knew that Qi Xiaobai wanted to annex Goguryeo, if he wanted to fight for credit and consume Zhou Baotong, this post-war investigation was a trivial matter, which wasted the excellent opportunity to annex Goguryeo, then he Qi Jiu would be a big sinner.

Qi Jie looked at Feng Tan: "When the war is over, I will definitely go to Yingqiu and argue with Zhou Baotong about the first merit of this war!" ”

Qi Jie is unwilling to give up this opportunity to take the first credit in vain, after all, he wants to solve the main force of Goguryeo, no matter where he says, solving the main force, this should be the greatest credit, without him to solve the main force, this week Baotong could not win the opportunity to enter Pyongyang City.

Feng Tan looked at Qi Jie and said: "Childe, now we are not talking about this matter, what we are talking about is the route of the march, how to fight with the main force of Goguryeo under the command of Li Gaozhao!" ”

Feng Tan knew that the biggest taboo of the soldiers was that the war had not yet begun, so they fought for merit, and the non-stop infighting turned the original chance of victory into defeat.

Qi Jie looked at Feng Tan and said, "I understand! ”

Feng Chen's simple words let Qi Jie know the problem of his thoughts, he looked at Feng Tan and said, "I understand!" ”

Qi Jie came to Yanjing's Dianjiangtai, he began to point generals, and then he gathered 200,000 troops in three days to go to Shanhaiguan.

There was also a 300,000-strong army of the Northern Hebei Army stationed in Shanhaiguan, and within three days, he had a round with the 300,000-strong Northern Hebei Army of Shanhaiguan and walked out of Shanhaiguan with an army of 500,000.

This was the first time since the founding of the empire that it had stepped out of Shanhaiguan and taken the initiative to attack the forces in the north.

"Li Gaozhao is now stationed in Jian'an City!" Feng Tan said to Qi Jiao.

"With the intention of the military advisor, how should we meet the battle?" Qi Jie looked at Feng Tan and asked.

"What Huan Gong's warrior army is best at is attacking it unprepared and taking it by surprise!" Feng Tan said to Qi Jiao.

"Li Gaozhao's army lives outside Jian'an City, and our surprise attack on it will inflict a fatal blow on it, and it will be very easy to meet it later!" Feng Tan said to Qi Jiao.

Li Gaozhao originally planned to go to Pyongyang City to rest the army, and then go to Daejeon to support Jin Muren and eliminate Zhou Baotong, but because Jin Muren's request for help was very urgent, he did not go to Pyongyang, but came to Jian'an City, rested here, and then went directly to Daejeon.

Outside the Shanhai Pass is a plain, and outside the Shanhai Pass is the territory of Goguryeo, but this is a plain, there are no garrisons of Goguryeo, and there are no cities, mainly because the three countries often attack the empire together.

It is theorized that this is the territory of Goguryeo, but the Balhae Kingdom and Donghu Dujue also have their share here, so there are no garrisons here.

It can be said that there is no Goguryeo city from Shanhaiguan to Xin'an City, and it is all plains, which is why Feng Tan suggested a raid.

Because the Qi army entered the territory of Goguryeo, Goguryeo didn't know it.

If you delay for a few days and attack slowly, when Li Gaozhao knows that he is fighting with Goguryeo, and the other side is ready, this battle will not be easy to fight.

"I understand, then I will personally lead the troops to fight Li Gaozhao!" Qi Jie said to Feng Chen.

Qi Jie has received the formal system education of the Qi clan since he was a child, after all, he was once the son who had the opportunity to succeed to the throne, so Qi Jie has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and the force value is still very considerable, although it is not as good as his eldest brother Qi Zhu and King Chu Huai, but among many generals, he Qi Jie thinks that he is still very good.

Feng Tan nodded: "That old body, I wish Gongzi a victory!" ”
