Yang Yuxin didn't know that she had left the impression of a femme fatale on the novice, and even if she knew, it didn't matter, anyway, the act of finding the 'seven groups' to kill Yuanwei Dart was for the sake of Liwei.

As long as the 'six groups' intelligence department on the side of Liaodong can be honest and obedient, what can the snakes and scorpions do, anyway, the two of them will not stay in Liaodong for a long time, and in the case of His Majesty Li Er's personal expedition to Goguryeo, it won't be long before they can go back to Chang'an in style.

The next day, the Ma family caravan as the previous times, more than a dozen carts out of Youzhou City, different from before, the caravan more Ma family young master and his maids, outside the city and the old housekeeper Ma Dongliang tears goodbye, embarked on the road to the north.

As for the master of the Ma family, I'm sorry, I am lingering in the willow alley of Huajie at this time, and I can't take care of this 'eldest son' who has just come back!

And when this caravan selling dog meat on the head of a sheep set off for Goguryeo, an army of 30,000 led by Li Ji had already arrived at Liaodong City, an important town in eastern Liaodong.

At the same time, the Khitan general Gu Ge, who was sent by the Songmo Metropolitan Protectorate, also led nearly 20,000 Khitan cavalry to join Li Jisheng outside the city of Liaodong.

For a time, the wind and clouds outside the city of Liaodong were densely spread, and the 50,000 army with people and horses stood at the head of the city and looked out.

"City Lord, what can I do now? Why haven't reinforcements arrived? How are we going to defend our 50,000 troops? "Before the war started, the Liaodong city guard was scared, it seems that if it is not supported by the city wall, this goods is estimated to fall.

"The soldiers are coming, and the water is flooding! What are you afraid of, I have more than 30,000 soldiers in Liaodong City, plus the people in the city, the number is far superior to the Tang army, as long as we defend the city and don't go out to fight it, they will definitely not be able to attack in a short time. "The city lord of Liaodong City actually has trembling legs, but fortunately, the official uniform is wide, up to the top of his feet, and no one can see it except himself.

But this guy's words seem to be a little inappropriate, as soon as 'the soldiers come to block, the water comes to cover the earth', the defender who has no idea next to him trembles even more, and it feels like the city lord is about to take him to 'block the soldiers and cover the water'.

"Something that has no interest, isn't it just tens of thousands of Tang troops, what's the big deal, how many times did we repel the Sui army twenty years ago? This time, it's just a change of country name, but it's still those people, and if you're not afraid of death, let them come! Liaodong City Mattress (equivalent to the governor of the Tang Dynasty) glanced contemptuously at the two frightened guys beside him.

In the eighth year of Zhenguan, the position of Goguryeo mattress was no longer the glory it used to be. In order to strengthen the centralization of power, the military power in the hands of the mattress has been very small, and most of the wars are also sent by the Goguryeo central power to command the troops, so the words of this Liaodong mattress may not be without a trace of schadenfreude in it.

"Mattress, there are 50,000 people outside, not 5,000 people, besides, this time the Tang Emperor is here with a whole country's troops, these people are only the vanguard army, if the army gathers in the future......" The face of the city lord of Liaodong was very ugly, and he was extremely disgusted with this guy who didn't know what to do, and he couldn't wait to kill him with a knife.

But he can only think about this matter at most, but there is no way to solve it, just because this guy is currently a celebrity in front of Mo Lizhi (that is, the prime minister), and if he really wants to kill him, he probably won't be able to get any benefit.

Goguryeo is now very divided, and as the power of Moli Zhiquan Gai Suwen grows, he has begun to stop being satisfied with the status quo and begin to constantly challenge the imperial power.

Under such circumstances, the courtiers of Goguryeo naturally divided into two groups, on the one hand, the royalists, and on the other hand, the anti-emperor faction that supported Quangae Suwen.

And the Liaodong City Lord and the Liaodong Mattress are the representatives of these two factions, so there is nothing to say because these two guys don't like each other.

"That's why I said that you civil officials don't know how to fight at all, and His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know what to think, so I have to send you wastes to lead the army, and see, it's not going to be good, it's stupid!" Liaodong Mattress sneered, without a trace of respect for the Goguryeo Emperor in his tone.

But it's true, whoever is in charge of a good official, and the power in his hands is confiscated out of thin air, his heart will not be happy, and there will be no less complaints.

"We're waste, aren't you? Look at the 50,000 army outside the city, and the hundreds of thousands of troops that are coming, what can you do. "The left sentence is a waste, and another sentence is a waste, although the city lord of Liaodong is a civil official, he can't stand it in the end, and sneered.

"What happened to hundreds of thousands of people? Can hundreds of thousands of people attack the city together? If that's the case, Lao Tzu will let them know how to write dead characters. Liaodong mattress pressed his hand on the head of the city and suppressed the resentment in his heart.

He has too few soldiers under his command, otherwise he will definitely throw this guy in front of him who dares to be disrespectful to him from the city.

Alas, I think about how majestic the five great mattresses of Goguryeo were, and in their own territory, they have to be windy and rainy. How can it be like now, it is really ...... to be subject to a small city lord, Liaodong Fusa pursed his lips and swallowed the curse back into his stomach.

And when a few people at the head of the city were watching the Datang military camp, in the camp that Datang had already set up, Li Ji was also holding a monocular to observe them.

"General, the small Liaodong City, one drum can be launched, why do we want to camp here?" The cave brother next to Li Ji also held a telescope in his hand, but he didn't have any patience, and after looking at it twice, he threw the mirror into the hands of the guards on the side, looked at Liaodong City three miles away, and asked with gritted teeth.

"We are pioneers, not dead soldiers, such a strong city has no heavy siege equipment, if you want to think about it, you can try it." Li Ji put away his binoculars, pointed to the opposite city wall several miles wide and as high as three zhang and said to the cave brother.

Brother Cave is currently the leader of the Khitan, and his official position in the Tang Dynasty is the governor of the Song Desert Prefecture, and he is also the general of the left leading army, and the official position alone is not much smaller than Li Ji.

"But you have to try it to find out, what if you hit it?" Brother Gu has not made an inch of success since the Khitan returned to the Tang Dynasty, and now that he heard that the Tang Emperor personally conquered, it was less than ten days away from them, so he naturally wanted to show Li Er before he came.

"Li Dudu, the soldiers on the battle array are fierce and dangerous, and if you accidentally damage the soldiers, it will be a small matter, and the damage to the military prestige will be a big matter." Xu Maogong, who is known as a Confucian general, smiled faintly, of course he knew that Brother Cave was earnest, but the matter was prioritized, this first battle could not be lost no matter what, so he had to wait, wait for a good opportunity, or wait until Li Er came over.
