Xue Qingyu said: "If you do this, the third child will not be able to turn back." Sugar hua updates quickly, the website page is refreshing, there are few ads, I like this kind of website the most, I must praise him better than call him back, and we will persuade him again. ”

Xue Qingbao shook his head and sighed: "The political views are different, but the human relationship cannot be abolished, if you don't enter this door, you will still be brothers when you meet in the future, if you enter this door, even brothers can't do it." Close the doors. ”

When the victorious Loyal Battalion was about to return to the city in victory, they suddenly found that the city gates had been closed, and they had won the battlefield but had become outcasts of some infighting.

Feng Zhifan asked Zhang Yi: "What's going on, why did you close the door, has something happened in the city, what about my things" Zhang Yi smiled bitterly: "Don't worry about your pots and jars, so keep your head, come with me to see Liao Shuai." Feng Zhifan asked in a low voice: "Then what should he do?"

Zhang Yi looked at Xue Qinglian, who was stunned, sighed and said, "Zhida is talented, let's see the after-effects." ”

Now that the conspiracy has been discovered, Huang Renfan will no longer act, he honestly and unceremoniously adapted the Xue Jiajun Loyal Battalion and Xue Qing's Grinding Department, selected two elites to stay, and sent Xue Qingnian, Feng Zhifan and the old and weak and untrustworthy people back to Dongzhou, and Zhang Yi returned to Dongzhou at the same time, his real name is Li Guotai, and he is now a pro-army right wing officer.

Li Guotai pleaded guilty to Li Mao in person, claiming that he had a heavy trust and begged for punishment. Li Mao helped him up and said, "I asked them to withdraw you, your mission has been completed, and it is a great achievement." ”

Li Guotai was puzzled, and Qin Mo explained: "The battle in the Baishui Valley is over, and the Silla State has lost 5,000 soldiers, and we are mourning all over the field, at this time, we have to pull Marshal Jin and encourage him to continue to march westward, but we can't let him slip." ”

Li Guotai said: "It's just that in this way, Liaodong City will be difficult to break, this city is too steep." ”

Li Mao comforted: "Don't worry, it's a long time coming." ”

In the just-concluded Battle of the Baishui River Valley, Shixiong defeated the Silla army with 10,000 enemies and 60,000 enemies, defeated the Silla army one after another, fought three fierce battles at Baishitan, Qingniuwa, and Huahualing, won three battles and three victories, killed more than 5,000 enemy heads, captured 1,000 enemies, and injured less than 2,000 of his own people.

Later in the campaign, Shi Xiong sent a secret envoy back to Dongju to ask Li Mao if he could change his strategy and defeat the Silla army in the Baeksu River Valley, claiming that he was seventy percent sure that he would defeat Jin Yiyong.

Li Mao sent Qin Mo to the Baeksu River Valley and told him that it would be easy for Shixiong to defeat the Silla, but this was not in the fundamental interests of Liaodong, which wanted to completely cut off Silla's national fortunes, plunge it into war and division, and remove the rear threat once and for all, so that he could free up his hands to deal with the new enemy.

Qin Mo asked Shi Xiong in Li Mao's words how many soldiers he needed to lose to defeat Silla, Shi Xiong replied four or five thousand people, and Qin Mo asked again: "All the elites of Liaodong are here, and half of them were lost in the first battle, so how can they gain a foothold in Liaodong in the future." Shi Xiong was speechless.

Although he still couldn't figure it out, Seok-woong still carried out Li Mao's withdrawal order to the letter, and at the most frustrating moment of the Silla people, Andong's army disappeared without a trace.

Li Mao's withdrawal order once again dealt a heavy blow to the generalissimo's withdrawal plan of Jin Tiyong, and the battle of the Baishui Valley made him realize the terrifying combat power of the Andong army, even if he went all out, the battle of Liaodong would be a crushing victory, and he would not be able to occupy Liaodong if he won, and all the elites of Silla would be lost in Liaodong, and how would the threat from the Bohai Sea in the north be eliminated. This is a problem that he needs to consider as the commander of the three armies, but he stands too high, sees too far, and the people below stand too low, only looking at the front of him, he is a little tall and low.

Defeated to Shi Xiong, the generals were not convinced, and the same as Danzheng Gorge, Shi Xiong also picked up a cheap, Baishitan he was a sneak attack, Qingniu Cave he was an ambush, Huahua Ridge was because the main force had not arrived, the flanks attacked without authorization, and even disrupted all the deployments, all of which were unexpected defeats, the opponent won without force, and the elite of Silla was equal to Shi Xiong, but the strength of the army was overwhelming, how could he retreat because of a few unexpected failures.

Some people say that since Shi Xiong is a complete victory, why did he retreat halfway, indicating that he did not get a bargain, killing 10,000 and losing 3,000, although I have a loss, but the capital is large, although he takes advantage, but the capital is small, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer.

Jin Tiyong couldn't cry or laugh, and was about to force the three armies to retreat by force, but suddenly came the news that Liaodong City had thwarted Li Mao's conspiracy to seize the city, and this not a big victory was immediately advocated to the sky by people with good intentions, and some people had ulterior motives to link it with Shi Xiong's withdrawal, and paradoxically spread the news that it was precisely because of the fiasco under Liaodong City that the back road was cut off, and Li Mao had to order Shi Xiong to withdraw his troops to avoid the annihilation of the whole army. Isn't he Li Mao a strong soldier, unstoppable, why can't he even gnaw on the small Liaodong City, and he also suffered a big defeat, doesn't this prove from the side that Li Mao is just a paper tiger that looks terrible but is actually vulnerable

At the instigation of some people, the victory document of Liaodong City was sent in duplicate to the Baeksui Valley and the capital of Silla, and before the recital of Kim Tiyong requesting the withdrawal of the army was written, the royal edict of the king of Silla to force the army to march arrived in front of the army, and strictly ordered the marshals of the three armies to immediately march into the army and wrap up with Xue Qing.

This edict changed the previous deliberative tone, and directly told Jin Yiyong what he should do and what the consequences of not doing so would be.

Jin Tiyong did not blindly follow this time, he used a means, he sent 5,000 troops and horses to Liaodong City to meet Xue Qingbao in advance, leaving the army to rest in the Baishui River Valley, and made a posture that it could be attacked and retreated.

However, what happened next made Jin Tiyong himself confused, under the Dongyu Ridge, Li Mao's henchman Ma Xiong'an's carefully constructed defense line only supported for two days before the whole line collapsed, 5,000 troops and horses rushed to flee for their lives, embarrassed, and the vanguard army opened the last section of the road to Liaodong City in one fell swoop.

The day after receiving the battle report, Jin Tiyong went to Dongyuling, personally inspected the defense line built by the Tang army, and carefully surveyed all aspects such as the location of the camp, the design of the stove, the depth of the fence, the position of the horse rejection and the number of post roads, etc., and concluded that the Tang army had put a lot of thought into the camp, and it could be seen that it wanted to make long-term plans, rather than a temporary perfunctory.

"Ma Xiong'an, who leads the army, is Li Mao's pro-army general, a rising star, his uncle Ma Hedong is a general under Li Mao, what is wrong with him leading the army to guard Dongyuling, Shi Xiong, who is equivalent to his qualifications, also commands 10,000 troops. Don't be suspicious, Liaodong is really as deep as you said, why retreat again and again, wouldn't it be better to start in the Baishui River Valley"

Jin Tiyong smiled and said: "Even if what you say is right, we occupy Liaodong City, what to do next, it will snow heavily immediately, it is obviously impossible to continue to advance westward, and it is still impossible to solve the problem of eating food by stationing in Liaodong City." ”

Park Yiru said: "The entire Silla country is transporting grain and grass for us, and no matter how bad it is, we can survive this winter." ”

Jin Tiyong sighed again, and Park Yiru said: "Listen to the advice of an old friend, for the general, do your duty, and the rest don't think about him, it's useless to think more." ”

Jin Tiyong nodded and said, "This time I listen to you, the entire Silla country is in our hands, and I can't slack off." Let's talk about it, how to deal with our old friend Xue Qingbao, it is said that he is not close to my country in his bones. ”

It seems that everything is arranged, the day Jin Yiyong walked into Liaodong City, the heavy snow fell one after another, this is the fourth snow of Liaodong City this year, it is bigger than the sum of the previous three, the goose feather snow drifted for a day, the wind blew hard, the knife swept across the land of Liaodong, the temperature dropped sharply, and the cold winter of Liaodong finally came.

The inhabitants of the Northlands are not afraid of the cold, but they are afraid of the by-products of the cold, hunger and killing. Because of the sparse number of people, the winter in Liaodong is an ownerless winter, and there is no order in such a winter, even after Li Mao came, it was the same, he had the ability to control spring, summer and autumn, but he could not control Liaodong in winter.

Jin Yiyong couldn't control the snowy Liaodong, and he worriedly inspected the grain storage in the granary, once a day, and every time his face was as black as a piece of iron.

"In the end, it is still Li Mao's time, the winter in Liaodong is not only bitterly cold, but also indescribable bandits, these people may not be able to shake the general trend, but they can endlessly consume our country's national strength and patience, and after they squeeze us all dry, it will be the collapse of our three armies and the destruction of the nation."

Park Yiru looked at the left and right, and persuaded him: "Hugh is going to say these frustrating words, the matter has come to this, you should think about how to deal with the aftermath." ”

"Aftermath" Jin Yiyong smiled distressedly, "Isn't this nonsense, causing trouble with nothing, doing things indiscriminately, putting yourself, the army, and the country in danger, and then come to seek a solution to the aftermath, and work hard for this, do your best, think how to do it, and let others read you so early know why you did it in the first place." ”

Jin Yiyong's depressed mood, no one in the army can understand, fortunately, he still has a confidant in Liaodong City, it can be regarded as a year-old friend, he is Chinese New Year's Eve six years old today, his little confidant is only sixteen years old, and the sixteen-year-old girl is like a flower and jade, and she is innocent. She would send him a small gift every other day, and each gift had a piece of paper attached to it.

She used these small means to slowly soften his heart and preserve the rich status of her father and family.

He knew her careful thoughts and small means, but he never cared, he never replied to the gift, but just invited her to drink tea and play chess. His chess skills are known as a national player in Silla, he is modest and even a little pessimistic, but his chess style is very strong, even the king of Silla and the regent are his opponents, and he is still immediately slashed under the sword, never relentless.

But in Liaodong City, his chess style has become gentle, only for one person.

Xue Dingding's chess skills are very good, but she is 108,000 miles worse than her opponents, but her flexible style is obviously very pleasing to her opponents. Her opponent always showed unprecedented patience and interest in dealing with her, and when he played chess with her, he could forget all the humiliations, and his melancholy heart was a rare relief for him.

Park Yiru saw this and deliberately persuaded Xue Dingding to come to the camp more and accompany Jin Yiyong to play chess, relieve his troubles, and let him complain less.

When Kim Yiyong and Xue Dingding were playing chess with peace of mind, the Silla State mobilized the whole country to deliver supplies to Liaodong City, thousands of miles of roads, the snowy and cold Liaodong wasteland, and the dead were so heavy that the baggage team in the rear did not need a guide to guide the way, just look at the strange, frozen, and starved corpses on the side of the road to go forward, and they could reach their destination.

This is the road of blood and tears of the Silla Kingdom, the road of the country's demise.

This year's heavy snow was unusually heavy, the time lasted unusually long, the Liao River has been frozen, and people can step on the ice to walk across the river.

Grass mats were laid on the ice between Dongju and Gaozhou, and the soldiers and civilians helped the old and the young to come and go, and the main force of Silla was trapped in Liaodong City and could not move, but it did not mean that Liaodong would be safe and sound this winter.

Jin Yiyong is a person who is good at using soldiers, and his life is not easy, but he does not want Li Mao's life to be easy, and the scattered small troops are haunted, invading the settlements scattered outside the city day and night.

These settlements were notified to move into the city long before the onset of winter, but no matter how the government mobilized, the natives continued to go their own way, and most of them claimed to be descendants of Goguryeo, and after the Silla people also claimed to be Goguryeo, he believed that the Silla people were their close relatives. How could relatives slaughter relatives, they came to slaughter the Han people who had invaded their homeland, to avenge them.

But the Silla people used sharp butcher knives to draw a line with them in this harsh winter, and the Silla people were the legitimate successors of Goguryeo, and you people have been subjugated by the Han people for a long time, and they have been contaminated with their habits, and they are no longer pure.

"Yesterday, three more Zhuangzi were slaughtered, and the real chickens and dogs were not left, and the Silla people were probably really hungry and crazy, and the cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks were swept away, and even the frozen cabbage was taken away, and nothing was left to eat."

"How did they settle down when they entered the city?"

"Temporarily placed in the elementary school hall and middle school hall, there are rooms there, and I am worried that there are Silla spies among them, and they need to be isolated and examined one by one."

"Do they still recognize the Silla people as their relatives?"

"Recognize, greet the ancestors of the Silla people for eighteen generations with one mouth, do you recognize it or not."

"If you are poor, don't make so many restrictions, and treat everyone equally."

"It's okay like this, it looks generous, anyway, in our territory, we are not afraid that he can turn the sky upside down."

"Is there any news from the black crest, I have an ominous premonition, I always feel that they are around us, do you say strange"

"I still suggest that the Marquis of Heiyu and the Sabre Army be transferred over in case of emergency."

The "Heiyu Hou" is a special unit under the jurisdiction of the internal security department of Chang Mucang, and the "Saber Army" is a special operations brigade subordinate to the right wing of the pro-army, both of which are sharp knives and blades that are good at close combat.

Previously, Chang Mucang and Qin Mo proposed to transfer the two armies more than once, but Li Mao refused, this time Li Mao did not refuse, he nodded and said: "Transfer to the Shannan command post, and then take our old friend from Chang'an." ”

In order to cope with the sneak attack tactics of the Silla, the inhabitants of the two states of Donggao concentrated in the city, and according to the defense of the city, there were no civilians outside the city except for the garrison. In order to maintain public order, Li Mao ordered the reorganization of the 1st Brigade under the 1st Division into the City Defense Garrison Bureau, and selected 1,500 capable guards and organized them into several brigades to be responsible for internal security.

The Security Bureau was also authorized to set up four brigades of the security army, each with 300 members, and with reference to the modern police system, to weave a public security network covering the entire area under its jurisdiction by division and classification, so as to maintain public order within the jurisdiction.

There are heavy troops stationed in the two states of Donggao and the important strongholds outside the city, Li Mao can rest assured, but his Shannan command post is becoming less and less safe, all kinds of signs indicate that the mysterious disappearing "black crest" is lurking near Dongzhou City at this moment, hiding in the shadows to peep at him, waiting for him to show his flaws, and then pounce on him and bite his throat.
