Chapter 576: Into the City
No matter how Li Daozong persuaded him, Xuan Shijing made up his mind and only took the three hundred soldiers he brought out from Dongshan County to leave Beisha and go to Jian'an City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But before leaving, Xuan Shijing asked Li Daozong for someone who knew how to contact Liu Hongji.
Anshi City, the distance from the battlefield on the sea is more advantageous than that of Beisha City.
Recently, Xuan Shijing and Li Daozong have been busy living on the one-third of an acre of land in front of Beisha City, except for knowing that Liu Hongji's sailor is fine, they don't know anything about the situation on the sea.
Xuan Shijing led people out of Beisha City, bringing three days of dry food supplies, but he didn't have the intention of stealing the city.
That's right, it's stealing the city of An.
The bodies of the three thousand Goguryeo soldiers in Beisha City have been cleaned up, which makes Xuan Shijing a little pity, if it weren't for the lack of manpower, with these dead corpses alone, he would be able to take Anshi City without blood.
Because Xuan Shijing remembered that when the Mongol army was marching westward in later generations, he used catapults to throw corpses into the city to create a plague.
However, this kind of thing seemed to have no psychological obstacles for the Mongolian army at that time, but for the Central Plains, this kind of method, even if the battle was won, would definitely be scolded, even if Xuan Shijing wanted to, Li Daozong would definitely not agree.
The 5,000-year-old culture of China has a profound heritage that makes people yearn for it, and at the same time, the strict bondage of morality also makes people unable to show their hands and feet.
For the foreigners on the battlefield, the Central Plains people still hold their own lofty moral standards to restrain themselves, but in the eyes of the foreigners, this seems to be a little stupid, and stupid enough to be used at any time.
However, the establishment of moral standards is a good way to draw a clear distinction between humans and animals.......
Xuan Shijing did not say that he was a good person, and his moral standards were based on his own people, not those who were hostile to the Tang Dynasty.
Otherwise, whether it was the 3,000 Goguryeo reinforcements or the 500 grain carriers in the valley, they would not have left a single living mouth under the order of the main general.
The hatred between Goguryeo and the people of the Central Plains, count on your fingers, and that's a lot.
Xuan Shijing led people to set off towards Jian'an City, and these days Jian'an City seems to be isolated from the world, and there is no contact in any way, but in fact, in addition to the water army, there are not many people left in Jian'an City.
The Goguryeo people would not have thought that in addition to Liu Hongji's powerful naval division on the sea, the vanguard army of the Tang Dynasty was already like a sharp sword, nailed to the Liaodong Peninsula and Beisha City.
If there is no vanguard army, whether it is Beisha City or Jian'an City, it is very stable, because the three sides on the sea besiege Liu Hongji's sailors, Liu Hongji will not have the extra strength to covet Jian'an City.
But since the vanguard is here, let's do something else.
In five days, Xuan Shijing and three hundred soldiers arrived at Jian'an City, the target of three hundred people, not big, not small, if they appear in Jian'an City together, it must be eye-catching, and at this juncture, Jian'an City's defense will not be relaxed, and the navy is fighting at sea.
"Master Hou, what should we do?" The team of three hundred people stopped in the nearby mountains and forests, and Chang Le had already made a round trip in Jian'an City.
Jian'an City is not a traditional military city, in the coastal areas, there are many ordinary Goguryeo people, rely on the sea to eat, live in Jian'an City, there are a lot of them, so in and out on weekdays, the city gate on this side of Jian'an City is always wide open, but whether it is an individual or a caravan, entering and leaving the city must be subject to supervision and interrogation.
If it weren't for Jian'an City in the coastal area with such an open attitude, how could the chamber of commerce of the Hou Mansion have such a place in Jian'an City?
Jian'an City produces all kinds of Goguryeo specialties, and the Chamber of Commerce that ushered in it is also endless, and wants to make Jian'an City a military city of a water division, unless it is ruthless, I don't want such a rich tax.
And the officials of Jian'an City, are they willing?
Most of the income of Jian'an City depends on the taxes of these caravans coming and going from the south to the north to enter the city, and it is undoubtedly a way out to put an end to the caravans.
There was no good land in this place for the Goguryeo people to farm.
"What's going on in Jian'an City?" Xuan Shijing asked.
"A very ordinary city, the gate facing the sea, which ordinary people can't enter and exit, is specially reserved for Goguryeo's sailors in Jian'an City, and the sailor camp in Jian'an City is stationed outside the city gate in the south of Jian'an City, but now it is estimated that there are not many people stationed in the camp." Chang Le said.
The so-called ordinary is also compared with the towns of Datang.
"Have the guards of Jian'an City noticed?" Xuan Shijing asked.
"Looking around at the guards of the entire Jian'an City, there are about a thousand people in total." Chang Le said: "The guards on the city wall are about 100 people, the four city walls combined, the number is 400 people, there are soldiers patrolling the city in the city, count it, there are about 300 people. ”
In this way, the total number of guards in Jian'an Castle during the day is only more than 700 people, and if it is divided into day and night rotations, the number of people is twice as large, more than 1,400 people.....
There must be more than that, when discussing with Li Daozong in Beisha City, the number of people in Jian'an City will definitely not be less than two thousand.
In that case, where will the rest of the people be?
Obviously, I'm afraid it's in the camp of the sailor in the south of the city.
"Is the south gate of Jian'an City also open all the time?" Xuan Shijing asked.
Chang Le shook his head: "No, now the four gates of Jian'an City have been open, just the north gate in front of us, and the remaining three gates are all tightly closed." ”
"It seems that if the sailor doesn't leave, this south gate won't be opened easily, so it's easy to do." Xuan Shijing said: "Let's three hundred people camp in the forest first, keep a low profile, don't let people find out, Chang Le and I will go into the city again, and think of a way to let our three hundred people blend into the city." ”
Obviously, Xuan Shijing said this to the three Bai Chang beside him, and as soon as Xuan Shijing and Chang Le entered the city, the leaders of these three hundred people were these three Bai Chang.
"Master Hou, don't worry." Zhang Daniu spoke.
Zhao Tiezhu and Fang Shu also nodded in agreement, Xuan Shijing and Chang Le left, which means that the three of them really have to be in charge alone, although it is not an important task, but it is also necessary to be very cautious and cautious not to be exposed outside Jian'an City, which is surrounded by enemies.
