Outside Luoyang City, dead bodies were everywhere, broken armor and siege equipment were scattered everywhere, and the rebels suffered great losses, but they still did not capture Luoyang, which had a great impact on the morale of the rebels. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even if Yang Xuan felt that he had taken the lead and led his troops into battle several times, he felt powerless in the face of the solid and impregnable copper wall.

The defenders in the city no longer went out of the city to fight hard, and completely relied on the high thickness and tenacity of the city wall, condescending, resisting the siege of Yang Xuangan's righteous army.

After six or seven days passed, this stalemate and fierce battle made the generals of the righteous army fall into a scorching mood.

In the big camp commander's tent, Yang Xuangan is discussing with the generals and strategists about the plan to break the city, what else to do.

"Xuangan, I got the news released in the city that our Yang Mansion has been raided by the Praetorian Guards, all property has been confiscated, and both men and women have been escorted to the dungeon of Dali Temple." Yang Shen said.

Yang Xuangan nodded, this is also what he is worried about, when considering Li Mi's advice, he took his family factors into account, and planned to attack Luoyang first, not to be reluctant to go far, if he can break the city quickly and smoothly, the Yang Mansion will naturally be able to keep it, and now the Yang Mansion, in addition to the descendants who were picked up in advance, the other side branches, concubines, family members, etc., almost all of them have been arrested.

"Do you know where the vanguard troops sent back by Yang Guang have arrived?"

Li Zixiong hugged his fists and said: "General Yang, Yang Guang has returned to Yan County, and he will be able to arrive in Zhuo County in a few days to stabilize the turmoil in the north, and at present, Yang Yichen and Qu Tutong have been sent to lead the troops south, arriving in Heyang, and they are about to cross the Yellow River, attacking from the east, Yang Yichen is pressed from the north gate, if our army cannot break the city within three days, it will fall into internal and external encirclement, and must be withdrawn." ”

Yang Xuan was silent when he heard this, the situation changed from the initiative at the beginning, to the current passivity, it can be said that the battle situation is changing rapidly, when he raised the banner of righteousness, he was going to follow the example of the overlord of Chu, and led the children of the Yang family to rise, calling on all walks of life in the world to oppose the king, raising righteous soldiers to rise up, plus a few descendants of the dead country responded, the Sui Dynasty will also be like the tyrannical Qin, quickly shaken.

However, he misestimated the situation, after this uprising, the response from various places was not positive, and the Sui people in many places lived a peaceful life because they did not receive the influence of the conquest of Liaodong and the opening of canals, while in Henan and Shandong, the strong men were all transferred, and most of them fled into the barren forest, and it was difficult to gather too many strong men to enlist in the army for a while.

There are also many leaders of the rebel army, who are all waiting and watching and secretly assembled, but because they are in a hurry, they are all waiting and seeing, and they have not responded too much.

"Strategist, what other ideas do you have that can solve the urgent need?"

Li Mi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said: "The top priority, the time is urgent, we can't waste any more time, two days, concentrate on attacking Luoyang, if it can't be successful, withdraw overnight, go west to Hangu Pass, and then send heavy troops to guard there, Guanzhong is the land of Longxing, the terrain is complicated, when the Qin State annexed the world, it was to Hangu Pass, Tiger Prison Pass, etc. as fortresses, blocking the male soldiers of the six countries in the east, it is difficult to attack the pass. ”

"If our army invades Chang'an, after all, it is Xijing, the foundation of the Guanlong aristocracy, many declining nobles, who have been the ministers of the world, are full of talents, and the land of Qinchuan is fertile, we can completely lay the foundation, with the prestige accumulated by Yang Gong, the power of the Yang family gate lords, enough to stand on their feet, abolish the Xijing royal family, and then our army will issue a document again, announcing Yang Guang's crimes, calling on the righteous army of the world to raise troops, and they have fought against the imperial army, and are willing to share the world with the princes of the world, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so that the responders will be like carp crossing the river, If we don't use any soldiers in the pass, we can mobilize the rebels from all over the country to bite the elephant of the Sui court like ants. ”

After everyone listened, they all showed surprise, feeling that this plan was safe and very feasible, Yang Shen, Yang Yue and others chewed it, and showed joy, this strategy is enough for them to gain a foothold and have their own base.

Yang Shen's expression was excited, and he said: "Xuangan, the military advisor's strategy is very clever, I think it is feasible." ”

"Yes, General Yang, his subordinates also feel reliable." Shi Huaiyi said with his fists clenched.

Yang Xuangan raised his head and saw the strategists, generals, and counselors in the big tent, staring at him eagerly, and nodded slightly: "Okay, just follow the strategy of the military division, and in the next two days, accelerate the onslaught, if you don't break the city, you will march west overnight and focus on Chang'an City." ”

After everyone heard this, they all relaxed a little, there was no longer the dazed and melancholy just now, and now they have a new goal, and they all think it is feasible, so that the generals will recover their vitality.

Li Mi sighed secretly in his heart, he really wanted to propose that he withdraw immediately and attack Chang'an directly, because time is too precious, and the opportunity is fleeting, so he must grasp it, and it will change later, but he feels that he will definitely be denied by Yang Xuangan and everyone, so he retreats and asks for the next best thing, and let everyone attack for two more days.

Luo Zhaoyun led his troops back to Liaodong City, close to 100,000 troops, without any loss, all evacuated safely, and the generals and soldiers under his command were all proud, because the pursuers of Goguryeo never dared to approach, but just waved their flags and shouted behind them, bluffing, and the two sides did not even clash.

However, the Goguryeo army also had gains, after all, outside the city and along the way, they got some equipment, armor, grain and grass, although only a fraction of what the Sui army carried, but it was enough for the Goguryeo soldiers and horses to use for a period of time, which was considered a rich trophy.

Moreover, the main army was preserved, and not a single soldier was lost, which was the military strength that Yizhi Wende had to rely on, and he did not dare to lose it easily.

Adjutant General Che Yanqi said: "General Yizhi, our army is still ten miles away from Liaodong City, do you want to continue to advance?" ”

Yizhi Wende asked: "What happened to the Sui army in front?" ”

"I have entered Liaodong City!"

Yizhi Wende said: "Order, stop the march, contact Fangyuan City, collect the remnants of the army, choose another traffic pass, set up obstacles, call local strong men, fishermen and herdsmen to join the army, and beware of the Sui army disturbing the people and killing the people here." Our country needs to recuperate, otherwise, it is not far from the real extinction of the country, even if it is not wiped out by the Sui State, but those Turkic, Khitan, Jian, Tiele and other tribes that are eyeing us are all staring at us, and they can't continue to consume like this. ”

Deputy General Hu Yanchuan nodded and said: "Yes, even if we return to the Sui State, at best become a vassal state, or we will divide Liaodong and manage one side ourselves, if it is captured by the Turks, Tiele, and Yao, I am afraid that my Goguryeo people will become slaves at the bottom." ”

Ezhi Wende sat on horseback, looked at the direction of Liaodong City, his eyes were deep, and he sighed: "Yes, those barbaric steppe nomads are far more terrible than the Central Plains people, and they have to be guarded against, if the next time, when our army can't resist the Sui army, we will not destroy the city and choose to destroy the city, and the jade will be broken to protect the festival, but we should take the initiative to surrender, surrender the title and identity, hold the root of Goguryeo, and recuperate here for twenty years, you can rise again and compete with the Central Plains!" ”
