Chapter 156: Gao Ling sneaked out of the palace and begged Yuan Xi to take him in
The next day at noon.
It was dark and the rain was pouring down.
The four thousand horsemen of Zhang Jaw, Li Dian, and Le Jin finally arrived at the camp outside the city of Marudu.
When they saw the extremely dangerous and towering Marudu Castle, they were also shocked by the ingenious architecture. And I am very worried about the next war.
After lunch.
The people will be gathered together in the Great Horde.
Yuan Xi took out two maps and hung them, and said, "This is what I spent a night sketching, the topographic map of the pills." The other is a complete map of Goguryeo's borders. ”
Two pictures are hung.
The generals looked at it intently, and they couldn't help but laugh secretly.
The so-called topographic map of Marudu is crooked and twisted, which is really not very good. At first glance, it looks like a three-year-old child's graffiti.
Zhang Jaw Qiang put away his smile and said, "The master's painting work is really amazing. ”
"Uh..."
Yuan Xi was also a little embarrassed, sat down and said, "It's true that my painting is not very good, but it is enough to be able to recognize the terrain and understand the situation of Marudu City." Generals, let's just take a moment. ”
The generals put away their smiles.
"Who will talk about the strategy of breaking the city first?" Yuan Xi was sitting precariously.
He Mao opened his mouth and said: "The last general thinks that if you want to capture the strong and dangerous Maru Capital City, it is impossible to do it with only tens of thousands of infantry troops. I don't know the giants of the lord...... Can it come in handy? ”
It's everyone's concern.
Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "The Tyrannosaurus rex, the Aeolian Pterodactyl, and the two mammoths are not wearing armor, so they should not attack the fortifications. Only a mammoth and a giant ape can assist the city. But.... ”
Yuan Xi seemed to think of something, looked at the map and said, "The topography of Marudu City is really a bit complicated. His tower and gate were halfway up the mountain, and they had to pass through a five-mile-long mountain road to reach them. I went to investigate last night, and found that the city gate was built between two mountains, made of pure pig iron, extremely strong, and the city tower was five zhang high and three zhang thick. This is more than a zhang thicker than an ordinary city tower, more than twice as high. Mammoths and King Kong giant apes really don't play a role. ”
Even a giant beast can't break a city, so what else can break a city?
The height of the ladder, which extends up to four zhang; The height of the tower is five zhang. In the absence of large-scale siege equipment to help the battle, how difficult is it to conquer the Marudu Castle Tower?
All the generals sighed, and a sense of powerlessness rose in their hearts.
Cui Yan said: "Since the giant beast can't participate in the war, we can only outwit. ”
"What the gentleman said is very true. So how to outsmart it? Yuan Xi asked.
"The minister has a plan." Cui Yan seemed to have a countermeasure, and said at this time: "According to the minister's understanding, Goguryeo princess Gao Ling has always wanted to marry the lord, and it was she who persuaded Gao Yanwu to send the envoy to Jizhou. Why don't you take advantage of this? Lure Gao Ling out first, and then coerce her... ”
"Stop, stop..."
Before Cui Yan finished speaking, Yuan Xi interrupted him: "Don't make a fuss about women." Before, she sent an envoy to propose marriage, but I rejected her kindness, and I was already very sorry for her. Now I'm using the matter of harmony as bait, so what has become of me? ”
"Uh..."
Cui Yan was speechless.
Yuan Xi thought for a while and said with a calm face: "You all listen." Gao Ling has affection for me, and I can't be unrighteous. When the city is breached, you can't hurt her. and her father, Gao Yanwu, who is only allowed to be captured alive and to be disposed of by me. ”
"No..."
Everyone answers.
Cui Yan sat back in his seat.
Zhang Jaw said: "The last general has a stupid way. I wonder if the lord wants to hear it? ”
"Say."
"The four dissonances and the wind god pterodactyl, don't they fly? We can first find a secluded place in the city and use them to transport soldiers into the city. When the time comes, the inside and the outside should be combined, and it will be successful. ”
"This method is in line with the art of war. However, the four incompatible and Fengshen pterosaurs, the body is too large, and they are all red wings, too eye-catching, and the soldiers are transported back and forth, as many as thousands of times, can they not be discovered? Yuan Xi shook his head.
The generals exchanged heads and ears, thinking hard about countermeasures.
"Report..."
Just when they were pondering and at a loss, a soldier entered the account: "My lord, there is a handsome young man from outside the camp, who calls himself He Dajiao, who is an old friend of the lord, and asks to see the lord." ”
"Who is He Dajiao?"
All the generals looked at Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi pursed his lips and smiled, waved his hand, "Let her in." ”
"No."
The soldier who reported the message left.
Yuan Xi glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "You don't know, when I went to North Korea to run a salt factory, I passed by the Daliao River and saved Goguryeo princess Gao Ling. Bond with her. The person who came called himself He Da Li, and thought about it in turn, isn't it the Great Liao River? She's hinting at her identity to me, and she doesn't want you to find out, for fear of being taken hostage. ”
"I see..."
Everyone was stunned.
Cui Yan hurriedly stepped forward and said happily: "My lord, this is a God-given opportunity!" ”
"A good opportunity? What is the opportunity? You should not talk about coercing the spirits again. Yuan Xi's eyes froze, and he said solemnly: "Gao Ling and I can't be husband and wife, but the love of Pingshui is still there, how can I do it to my friends?" ”
"My lord..."
Cui Yan was unwilling and wanted to persuade again.
Zhang Jaw interjected: "What the lord said is reasonable. If we can break the pill, we will break it, but if we can't break it, we don't have the ability. If you rely on coercion of a woman, even if you destroy Goguryeo, you will be laughed at by the world. Where is the face of the lord? ”
"Hmm." Yuan Xi nodded and said, "You still understand me." ”
"The lord is benevolent and righteous, and the minister is ashamed." Cui Yan completely gave up on this idea.
"You all go down and think of a way to break the city. I'll come back tomorrow morning. Yuan Xi commanded.
"No."
The crowd left.
Gao Ling, who is known as He Dajiao, came to Yuan Xi's camp under the guidance of a soldier. The moment she saw Yuan Xi, she couldn't help herself, hugged Yuan Xi, and sobbed, "I finally see you again." ”
"What are you doing? Let go of me.... ”
Yuan Xi struggled a few times, but he didn't break free. Xindao, why is this little girl's strength so great?
"I can.... Do you call you Brother Yuan Xi? She was still holding on to her feet.
"You let me go first." Yuan Xi was a little speechless: "You look like a princess, and your strength is greater than mine." Can you Sven a point? ”
"Oooh..."
Gao Ling also realized that he had lost his temper and quickly let go of Yuan Xi. lowered his head, slightly chested, and pretended to be pitiful and weak. Just like when he was rescued by the Da Liao River.
Yuan Xi straightened his messy clothes, glanced at her, and said with some amusement: "Your acting skills are okay, you can win the Oscar." ”
"What's the Oscar?" Gao Ling asked playfully.
"The Oscars are..." Yuan Xi also laughed and said, "Forget it, let me tell you, you don't understand either." ”
"It's okay, I just like to hear from you." Gao Ling sat aside, habitually dragging his chin with his hand, smiling, and looking at Yuan Xi with a somewhat shy expression.
"You're a princess, can you be more reserved?" Yuan Xi was furious when he was watched.
