On September 5, the Tang army attacked the city of White Cliff. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This city is backed by mountains and rivers, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is extremely dangerous. Seeing that the Tang army was strong, Sun Fayin, the guard general of Goryeo, knew that with the terrain, his thousands of people would not be better than Liaodong City, so he secretly begged to surrender.

However, there were two opinions in the city on whether to descend or not, and for a while, Sun Vayin could not be unified. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty said, I will give you a flag of the Tang camp, and if it falls, the flag will be erected at the battlement to win my trust.

Sun Vayin followed the plan and raised the Tang banner when the Tang army attacked the city, and the Goryeo army thought that the Tang army had landed in the city, so they threw away their weapons and surrendered. General Li Tao admonished, "Your Majesty, the sergeants are fighting bravely to be the first, in order to capture and capture meritorious service, and we should not lightly say that we will weaken the fighting spirit of our army." ”

At this time, the emperor was looking at two letters from the Yibi Lu Department of the Western Regions transferred from Chang'an, and the arrogant mouth of Ashina Desire Valley made the emperor angry, and he slapped the letter on the bookcase with a "snap". It startled Li Tao and thought that he had said the wrong thing.

The emperor said, "What a big breath! Not even my 300 herdsmen, but as if I were begging him. Ignore it and let him call. Thinking of something again, he asked, "Why did Tianshan Mu run to other people's territory?" Do you think it's my garden? ”

Li Daozong glanced at the envelope and replied, "Your Majesty, the minister thought that it must be the Yibi Lu Department that provoked Gao Jun, he was in charge of the Tianshan Mu, but he was not allowed to eat at all. If he can make such a move, he must suffer a lot. ”

The emperor looked at the recital handed by Guo Xiaoke again, "Poplar Mu injured two people, killed one, and damaged five horses...... What a loss! He also said, "Xizhou can't move, and we don't care about the herdsmen, unless he doesn't have grass growing there." However, before I left the school, I heard that this Yibi Lu Department harassed the Silk Road and affected trade, and if he didn't know that the Tang Dynasty would not be allowed......"

However, the emperor was in Liaodong, and it was not good to arrange the affairs of Xizhou in too much detail, so he thought for a while and wrote instructions to the crown prince Li Zhi.

After writing it, I remembered Li Tao's words and said, "What the general said is extremely true. But arson killing, plundering wives and slaves, I often say no, do you do less in private? Hou Junji was convicted, and this one was among them...... If I want to reward the meritorious people under the general's command, can I spare this city because of this? ”

Therefore, 10,000 men and women and 2,000 soldiers were obtained from the city, and the land was Yanzhou, and Baivayin was the history of thorns. During the march, the emperor was still thinking about Xizhou, and he couldn't imagine that he had just praised him a few days ago for being calm and skillful, and now he had gone to the west of the Green Ridge.

The emperor weighed the benefits of Gao Jun's trip, and the odds were several percent. If the worst outcome occurs, it will not be a problem for Guo Xiaoke's ability to keep the enemy out.

The emperor doesn't seem to be worried about Gao Jun and his three hundred people, judging from the grievances of Ashina Desire Valley, he was wiped out by Gao Jun's three hundred herdsmen 1,700 people, this number may be added water, but it is certain that Tianshan Mu did not suffer a loss.

What he was worried about was Futu City behind Xizhou, although the 10,000 people were not good, they were usually honest, but it was very uncomfortable to come behind them at a critical time. However, the emperor thought again, as long as it involves the matter of the Xizhou Ranch, which time is not a few shocks, and then the good news?

Perhaps this is an opportunity to test the ability of Xizhou, or even the crown prince, because the sky in the west cannot fall. Thinking like this, he put down the affairs of Xizhou and concentrated on thinking about the war in Liaodong.

After taking Baiya City, the Tang army faced two directions of attack, one was in Anshi in front of the army, and the other was Jian'an behind it. There is also a black bone city, although it is not big and there are not many people, it is sandwiched between the two cities and is in a horn situation, and the three cities are very likely to support each other in wartime, so it can be expected that the next battle will not be easy to fight.

When discussing with Li Jing and Li Daozong, the opinions of the two were not consistent. Li Daozong believed that the terrain of Anshi and Jian'an was very dangerous, but Jian'an had more food and few soldiers, and if it was attacked by surprise, it would break the enemy's momentum. If you get Jian'an, then Anshi is in the bag.

However, Li Jing believes that the grain and grass of the Tang army are accumulated in Liaodong, and if Jian'an is attacked from afar, the enemy army in Anshi is very likely to cut off our grain and grass and the way back from behind, and at that time, I am afraid it will be extremely unfavorable. Li Jing advocated attacking Anshi first.

The emperor couldn't make a decision for a while, and the eldest grandson Wuji said, "The Weisa of the Black Bone City is over seventy years old, and there are few people. If Your Majesty is undecided, you might as well attack the Black Bone City first, which can be taken day and night, and it also weakens the three-legged momentum of the enemy. ”

Some people also said that Zhang Liang's department of the Tang army is now stationed in Shacheng, and it is very easy to take the black bone city with the army one after the other. At that time, it was possible to directly shake off the two difficult bones of Jian'an and An'an and directly cross the Yalu River to Pyongyang.

The emperor shook his head and said to the Daozong, "Go and call the halberd." Li Daozong understood and went out to summon Xue Li into the account.

On such an occasion, Xue Li should not come in to participate, but it doesn't matter if the emperor has a life. After Xue Li listened to everyone's opinions, the emperor said to Xue Li, "You can talk about it." ”

Xue Li said, "Several methods are good...... However, my mentor once said that there is no chance that the Son of Heaven will be a teacher. First, we must be famous and expected, and second, we must work steadily and steadily step by step. The strategy of attacking the city of black bones and approaching Pyongyang, if it is me and my brother Gao Jun, we can still try it. But the emperor's daughter is not very stable. In that case, the 100,000 enemies in Anshi are behind our army, and we are concerned about the safety of Your Majesty, how can we attack with peace of mind? It's better to break it first. ”

When Li Jing heard this, Xue Li's words coincided with himself, and he couldn't help asking, "Teacher General, I don't know which master it is?" Before Xue Li could reply, the emperor said, "Don't talk about it here, I'll talk about it when I return to my teacher, I will go and see him in person." ”

The army approached the city of Anshi, and the Goryeo people in the city relied on the large number of people in the city, and did not take the Tang army in their eyes at all. When they saw the emperor in the Tang army, they crouched behind the battlements at every turn, clamoring and saying some light words.

The commander of Anshi Fortress is called Ko Hye-jin, who is the Goryeo slave department. He was only in his thirties, and he was born with a leopard's head and eyes...... He has only one left eye, his right eye is covered by a black pocket, his beard is like a steel needle, and he holds a pair of sledgehammers in his hands, calling himself "Xiao Yuanba".

Gao Huizhen thinks that with his own ability, he is not much worse than Li Yuanba, the king of Zhao in the Tang Dynasty. He boasted in public about Haikou, saying that one of all the generals in the Tang Dynasty is counted as one, and no one is a problem, if you don't believe it, let's see!

As soon as the Tang army arrived, Gao Huizhen opened the city gate and led two thousand horses out of the city to meet the battle. For the Tang Emperor, of course, the other party's tactics are unwanted. It is better than the enemy retreating in the city and attacking it himself. So the Tang army also sent out 2,000 cavalry soldiers, and the two armies faced each other in front of Anshi City.

Jiangxia King Li Daozong's foot injury was just a little better, and as a member of the Tang Dynasty, he should rush to the front. So he asked the emperor for war and brought Xue Li out to line up. As soon as he saw the arrogance of the one-eyed dragon of the other party, he first made King Jiangxia angry.

Of course, he knew that anyone who made a hammer had the strength of a handle, but the king of Jiangxia was a big lance, and of course his strength was not small. Xue Li wanted to fight, but Li Daozong didn't allow it, and said, "This king wants to meet him first, and then you can go up if it doesn't work." ”

Li Daozong urged him to go immediately, and the two of them circled and started fighting. After only two moments, Li Daozong retreated and said to Xue Li, "This king's arms and wrists have made this kid numb, you try, don't embarrass me!" (To be continued.) )
