In the city of Youzhou, the guard Chai Shao can be said to be very leisurely recently, originally Youzhou is located at the junction of the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo and Khitan, but now it is not, there are more Liaodong five cities in the east, there are Cheng biting gold garrison, Youzhou can be said to be very peaceful.

Every day, Chai Shao's task is to inspect the city defense, train soldiers and horses, and at the same time deal with the Khitan trade part-time when he has nothing to do, after all, a large number of the output of the Khitan, Murowei, and Jin Ya are to go to Youzhou to enter the Tang Dynasty, and you need Youzhou to deploy.

On this day, Chai Shao was still inspecting the city defense, but he saw a fast horse coming at a speed with a flag in the east, and the flag was clearly 800 miles urgent.

I wondered, could it be that something happened in the east?

Quickly coming down to the city, Chai Shao intercepted the messenger at the gate of the city, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be the messenger of Yingzhou in the east of Youzhou.

"General, Liaodong is in a hurry!"

What the???

I thought it was something in Yingzhou, but when I heard Liaodong's urgent Chai Shao, I realized that there was indeed something wrong with Lao Cheng.

Quickly took the secret letter and opened it, Chai Shao was shocked.

"Lu Pingchuan, the defender of Yingzhou, reported that a few days ago, he received a special envoy from Liaodong City in the east, and Liaodong City was in an emergency, and there were no less than 50,000 Khitan troops attacking Liaodong City.

Prior to this, Beisha City was in an emergency, there were 50,000 people besieging Beisha City, General Cheng took Liaodong 15,000 soldiers and horses to the south to rescue, the next day Liaodong was attacked by the Khitan, when the Liaodong messenger set off, it was when all the five thousand defenders of Liaodong were broken.

After receiving the news, the last general Lu Pingchuan did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent a messenger to investigate, originally wanted to send troops to rescue first, but the scouts marched less than 200 miles to the east, and saw an army of 50,000 people stubbornly guarding outside Huaiyuan Pass.

According to this, Liaodong City may have fallen into the hands of the enemy, according to the Liaodong messenger, General Cheng Da intended to take away half of the defenders of Anshi City, Jian'an City, and Jili City along the way, so that the three cities are also empty in defense, if the Khitan army continues to move south, I am afraid that the situation in Liaodong is not optimistic.

Therefore, the last general is in a hurry to make a decision to the general. ”

Chai Shao quickly read the complete sealed letter, and his eyes turned red in an instant, Goguryeo 50,000, Khitan 50,000, and Jin Ya participated in the battle, and Liaodong City fell, so it is enough to judge that the situation in Liaodong has gotten out of control, and Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda are probably uncertain.

"Come, Chang'an 800 miles expedited preparation, Yunzhou 800 miles expedited preparation.

Adjutant generals, drumming and raising tents, first-class combat readiness, and the Youzhou military camp are all ready for battle.

The law enforcement team of Wuhou in the city was ordered to arrest all the Khitans, Goguryeo, and Tatars, whether they were business travelers or others, and none of them were allowed to be let go. ”

And just when Chai Shao sent a messenger to make an urgent report, under the city of Beisha, Goguryeo's Yansa Yanshou and the two groups of Khitan and Jin Ya had already converged.

Goguryeo sent 110,000 troops and lost 30,000 casualties, Khitan sent 80,000 troops, and Jin Ya sent 50,000 troops to capture the other four cities, and these two countries lost 10,000 losses respectively.

Under Beisha City were 80,000 Goguryeo and 50,000 Khitan Spirits, and the 130,000 army surrounded Beisha City to the death, and Cheng Yanjin couldn't break through if he wanted to.

The remaining 50,000 Khitan soldiers and horses are stubbornly guarding the entrance of Liaodong - Huaiyuan Pass, garrisoned with 50,000, which is already very strong, and there are a small number of soldiers and horses stationed in the other four cities, after all, the Tang soldiers in the city have long been slaughtered, and there is no danger.

In the camp tent of the coalition army, Yusa Yanshou discussed with the Khitan marshal Mu Liye and the chief general Agutu of the Yan Dynasty.

Mu Liye's proposition is to attack the city, and it is the right way to break the city and take talents, and although Agutu did not say it explicitly, looking at the greedy eyes, it is estimated that it has the same meaning as Mu Liye.

Yusa Yanshou shook his head and said: "No, the enemy's 60,000 army is defending the city, although we have 130,000 troops, but Beisha City is strong, if you want to break through, I am afraid we can't do it without 80,000 losses, this loss is too great, we can't afford it." ”

This one......

The other two were also silent, among the 130,000, there were 50,000 on their side, and the number of 80,000 was lost, in case Goguryeo let the Khitan or the Yan Yan take the lead, would the whole army be wiped out? So these two people also listened to persuasion and did not insist anymore.

"Our purpose is to detain these two people as hostages to exchange envoys with Datang, and now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to sacrifice meaninglessly. It is time to send someone to send a letter to Datang. ”

Yanshou knew that the other two were just trying to loot Beisha City to make money, a pair of fools.

And Goguryeo has already lost 30,000 people, and if it attacks the city again, even if it only loses 30,000, then this battle is enough to break bones and bones, so the gains outweigh the losses.

Seven days later, when Chang'an was celebrating the joy of immortal food, the messenger of Youzhou poured a basin of cold water on everyone.

The people looked at the messenger whistling past them, and they were puzzled, Youzhou? Since the pacification of Wang Junkuo and the time he fought to Goguryeo, there has been no war for many years, where is the urgency?

Li Er looked at the letter sent by Chai Shao, as well as the letter from Lu Pingchuan, the defender of Yingzhou, and was furious, overturning the dragon case in front of him at once, and scolded: "The Khitan barbarians dare to turn against me and attack my Datang? Come on, let me go to the heavenly prison and quickly kill the envoys of the Khitan, the Yan, and Goguryeo.

Quickly pass the pharmacist, Xuan Ling, Keming, and auxiliary machines to come. ”

Li Jing was on duty at the military headquarters today, so he was the first to come, and he was also furious when he saw the secret letter, but he was already calculating the situation in his heart, and there was a rescue plan to break the enemy.

When the others came to Qi, Du Ruhui said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the Three Kingdoms will not attack my Tang Dynasty for no reason, if Goguryeo is to recover the five cities of Liaodong, then what about the Khitan?" What about the tassels?

These two countries are poor barbarians, and in recent years, they have relied on the Tang Dynasty to eat a lot of oil and water, so how could they suddenly lean towards Goguryeo?

So there must be something strange about this. ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he had a flash of inspiration and said, "Could it be that it has something to do with the envoys of the Three Kingdoms in prison?" Now that only the envoys of these three kingdoms have not been redeemed in the prison, the ministers still wonder if they are not ransomed?

Now this war has given the answer, they are not not ransome, but want to take Liaodong, and capture Lao Cheng and Lao Niu at the same time, and use them to exchange prisoners. ”

What the???

Thieves are bold!

Li Jing scolded, but Li Er next to him had a bad heart, "Come on, go to the prison quickly, stop slaughtering the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, don't do it." ”

As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that His Majesty was angry and wanted to kill people before coming, but I hope these people will have great lives, otherwise it will be dangerous for Cheng to bite Jin and Niu Jinda.

Li Er said in a deep voice: "Pharmacist, the current situation, I'm afraid you need to go in person, you can not do it in Liaodong, but the right Wuwei army and the soldiers of Liaodong must be rescued."

Are you sure? ”

Li Jing frowned, kept pondering, and did not give an answer for a long time, because the situation in Datang is very complicated now, eventful, and the troops are scattered, and he is not ready for the big war at all, plus it is the cold winter that has just passed the New Year's Festival, and the big war is too difficult.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is not the slightest sure, the time and place are favorable, and the three are not occupied, so the minister suggests, don't fight the war, try to negotiate."
