Liaodong.

Under the new city, 100,000 soldiers and horses have arrived and gathered.

Liaodong Taishou, Zuo Houwei General, Yanguo Gong Luo Yibai 100,000 army commanders, commanded the three armies, and gave Shang Fang the sword. And General Youwuwei, Liaoxi Taishou, and Li Jing, the old boss of Luo Yi, became Luo Yi's deputy general at this time. No matter how old his qualifications are, neither he nor Li Yuan has Shang Fang's sword in their hands, and if they commit it in Luo Yi's hands, they may be beheaded by him by taking the opportunity.

Luo Yi's Seventh Army was stationed inside the city, while Li Yuan and Li Jing's Eighth and Ninth Armies were stationed outside the city.

In Li Yuan's Ninth Army, there is a young one-eyed general who is particularly conspicuous, he is Li Yuan's second son, Li Shimin, the general of Yingyanglang, who is now serving as the commander of the front wing in the Ninth Army.

Since the last time he was shot blind in one eye, Li Shimin has devoted himself to the training of the troops, immersing himself in the barracks every day.

"Take it for me, twenty staffs."

Li Shimin wore a black blindfold over one eye, and his one eye became more and more ruthless and cold.

Several soldiers were a little hesitant, after all, the one who was shouted by Li Shimin to take it was Yuan Ji, the third son of Tang Guogong.

Compared with Li Shimin and the Jiancheng brothers, Li Yuanji doesn't look like him at all, he looks very ugly. Both the Jiancheng and Shimin brothers are very handsome in appearance, but this Yuanji is very ugly.

The sharp-eared monkey has cheeks, but the face is still very yellow.

It's just that his face is yellow, even his beard is yellow, but his beard is very thick and thick, and his whole face looks like a monkey face.

However, Li Yuanji is ugly, but he is very good at martial arts, especially a horse lance, and the two brothers are far from his opponents. Li Yuanji, nicknamed Huang Chou'er, is even above Xue Wanche in the martial arts ranking of the sons of Xun Qi in Beijing, that is, he is worse than Pei Xingyan Lai Liulang, and even comparable to Yuwen Cheng.

On this expedition, Li Yuan served as the general of the Ninth Army, and Jiancheng joined the army by his side, while Li Shimin insisted on being the vanguard. The third son, Yuanji, also said that he wanted to command the army, so Li Yuan made Yuanji the deputy general of Shimin's front chamber.

Who knows that these brothers usually don't deal with each other very much, and today Yuanji is even more openly disobedient to the military orders of the people.

The angry Li Shimin didn't miss the brotherly love, so he had to tie up Yuanji and beat him with a military stick.

"Who dare!"

Huang Chou'er shouted, the voice was sharp and piercing, and it was extremely ugly, and the soldiers didn't dare to step forward.

Li Shimin lifted the horsewhip, threw it out with two whips, and threw the two soldiers who refused to step forward to carry out the whip to the ground.

He pointed at Li Yuanji with a horsewhip, "Hugh is rampant in our army, and he doesn't talk about personal feelings in the barracks, although you are my brother, you can violate my military regulations, and today I will also beat you with a cane to take strict military discipline." ”

"One-eyed dragon, you are blind in one eye, and your temper has risen, you dare!"

This one-eyed dragon exploded Li Shimin's anger.

Roar, "Take it for me!" ”

"Those who dare to disobey the order will be killed!"

As soon as this chopping word came out, the soldiers who were still a little hesitant no longer dared to disobey and stepped forward one after another.

Li Yuanji relied on being the son of a general, and his ability was also strong, and with a horse lance in his hand, he swept down the soldiers who came over.

Li Shimin's face was swollen and red, "Take it, take it for me." ”

More soldiers came around, Li Yuanji is indeed strong in martial arts, but no matter how powerful he is, he is invincible with two fists and four hands. A group of soldiers simply dragged a net over and directly covered Li Yuanji.

This time I was finally tied up.

"Hit!"

Twenty military sticks, there is no discount at once, even Huang Chou'er's arrogant body was beaten to the flesh.

After the fight, Li Shimin asked him to loosen his ties, "Send it back to the general's account, and say that this person has been dismissed by Ben Shuai." ”

Li Yuanji's skin was open and it was difficult to move.

But his eyes became more and more fierce, he glared at Li Shimin and shouted, "Second Li, you remember today for me, I'm not done with you!" ”

Li Yuan looked at Huang Chou'er who was sent back, and also smiled helplessly, "That's it, you just stay in the Chinese army and follow your eldest brother." ”

Li Yuanji was still crying, but Li Yuan was already impatient, "Why don't you study well, even your second brother can't tolerate you, where else do you say?" ”

Li Jiancheng took Yuanji back to his military tent.

"Shimin is blind now, and his temper has deteriorated a lot, so don't mess with him, you see me, I am trying to avoid him now."

"Big brother, you're still good to me."

"We are all brothers of the same mother, I am not good to you, who is good to you?"

"One mother, Li Lao Er is also my mother, but it is not good for me. Even when my mother gave birth to me, she thought I was ugly and wanted to throw me away, and she refused to even feed me milk. I grew up eating my mother's milk when I was a child, and I never drank a drop of my mother's milk. There are also three sisters and four brothers, they all only like Li Lao Er and don't like me. ”

Jiancheng patted the brothers, "Okay, don't say this in the future, whether they like you or not, the eldest brother will help you in the future." ”

·······

In mid-February, half a month earlier than the scheduled dispatch of troops.

Luo Cheng led more than 30,000 people of the Left Fifth Army to set off first, the fleet set off from Penglai Port, crossed the Bohai Bay along the Miaodao Islands, and it took only a few days for Luo Cheng to lead the Left Fifth Army to arrive at Duli Bay at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Duli Bay, is the Lushun mouth of later generations, here in the Han Dynasty belonged to the county of Yushi, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was named Ma Shijin, and at this time it was called Duli Bay.

"Dashuai, Duli Bay has arrived!"

Luo Cheng stood on the deck and looked ahead, which is the southernmost point of the Liaodong Peninsula, bordering the Yellow River in the south and southeast, the Shandong Peninsula across the sea, and the Korean Peninsula across the sea. The west and northwest are bordered by the Bohai Sea, and Zhuojun, Hejian, Yuyang, and Beiping are separated by water. The east and northeast are connected by land.

The coast here is tortuous, there are many harbors, many mountains and hills, and few plains and lowlands.

"Duli is the name of the Goguryeo people, and we came this time, and the sea journey was smooth sailing, so I think it would be better to change the name to Lushun."

Wei Zheng was very doggy, "The name Lushun is good, it is a good mouth, and it is much better than the capital of the Goguryeo people." ”

"Prepare to land, let our Left Fifth Army start the first battle of the second expedition to Liao!"

Use me in the first battle, and you will win the battle.

The entire southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula was under the jurisdiction of Goguryeo's Beisha City, which was stationed on the Great Black Mountain, about 120 miles away from Lushun.

In fact, Luo Cheng can land in Dalian Bay, which is closer to Beisha City, and Dalian Bay at this time is called Qingniwa, which is under the Great Black Mountain. It's just that Luo became safe, and chose to land at Lushunkou, which is far away from the Great Black Mountain.

In this way, there is also a calm landing time, and you can also rest in the port first, and transport the horses, equipment, grain, and grass.

"Why didn't you see the Goguryeo people?"

"The Goguryeo people are all near Beisha City, and there are many Goguryeo fishermen living in Qingniwa Bay, and because it is far away from Beisha City, the Goguryeo people have all withdrawn since the last expedition to Liao."

"Dashuai, should I lead the scout scout cavalry to reconnoiter under the Great Black Mountain first?"

"Yes, be careful." Luo Cheng agreed to Zhao Gui's request.

"Since the Goguryeo people are not coming, then we can make good use of this place, let the auxiliaries disembark, build a wharf and a water village in Arthur Bay first, and build a castle, we can use this as a base to attack and retreat."

The city of Beisha is ten miles in circumference, and it is very dangerous to build on the Great Black Mountain, with 8,000 garrisons and tens of thousands of mouths. However, Luo Cheng is not in a hurry, anyway, he will fight over, first build a landing port in Lushun, and then build a castle by the way.
