Chapter 342: Recovering Liaodong (5)

After Zhao Yunjun won Xinchang City, he strengthened the city defenses, intending to hold on, according to Jiang Sheng and Xi Zhicai's plan, to form a "product" strategic formation in Xuansu, Liaodong vassal states, and Xinchang, depending on the battle, so Zhao Yun had no plan to go north at all.

In the entire Liaodong strategy, the only miscalculation was the Goguryeo reinforcements, and now Tian Yu had to focus on expelling the Goguryeo bandit army, and Xuansu County could not participate in the battle to destroy Gongsun Du, but fortunately, Xi Zhicai sent Lu Yi and Zou Dan to support, and Gao Shun's military presence was enhanced.

Gongsun Du divided the Xiangping garrison into three parts, one of which was about 30,000 people, to strengthen the garrison of Liaoyang; The second part of about 60,000 people stayed in Xiangping, but set up pots and stoves outside the city for 100,000 people to eat, confusing the enemy troops in the west and north directions, and the third part of about 100,000 troops, day and night, rushed to attack Xinchang.

Tian Yu is uniting several princes of Goguryeo to deal with the Goguryeo official army, more than 50 battles, annihilating more than 47,000 Goguryeo official troops, and Tian Yu also lost nearly 10,000 people, although the military discipline of Goguryeo's soldiers and horses is sloppy, but the combat effectiveness is not to be underestimated, especially they do not use rear supplies, but plunder in the war, to feed the war, but Tian Yu has to transfer grain and grass from Xuansu County, and there will be problems after a long time.

Tian Yu wanted to fight a quick battle, but the Goguryeo army had already seen the problem of Tian Yujun, so they stalked and delayed time, which made Tian Yu at a loss.

Although Zhang Ning's main focus was on pacifying Liaodong, she also understood Tian Yu's situation very well, so she sent a letter to Deng Mao and Chu Yan, wanting to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

Deng Mao was in charge of the defense of the mines on the grassland, and knew the situation of the grassland well, and immediately sent 20,000 cavalry to the east.

Chu Yan had been operating the grasslands for many years, and had many trade contacts with the Buyeo State in the north of Goguryeo, so he sent envoys to discuss the matter of sending troops to the Buyeo State, which was later part of China's Heilongjiang, Jilin and the Russian Far East.

The king of Buyeo waited for the envoy with good tea and water, but he did not bring up the matter of soldiers.

The envoy also understood that although Buyeo had nearly 100,000 cavalry, it had always been self-preservation, and had never sent troops to attack, but only passively defended against the invasion of Xianbei and Goguryeo.

In the end, the envoy played the bitter card, adding fuel and vinegar to say how Goguryeo invaded Buyeo and oppressed the people of Buyeo, and persuaded the king to take this opportunity to get rid of his shame.

The king said: "I have never quarreled with the world, and I really dare not fight for the safety of the people of the whole country to fight for these false names. ”

"How can this be a false name? Can the Great King bear to watch your people continue to endure the oppression of Goguryeo? If the king sends 30,000 troops and attacks with our army, we will be able to win, and then we will rule Goguryeo in three parts, and naturally we will no longer threaten the people of your country, but if we only rely on our army, the victory or defeat is not yet known, and your country may continue to be invaded by Goguryeo. ”

The king pondered for a while, and then said, "Although I have soldiers, my national strength is weak, and my self-protection is acceptable.

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you send troops, we will be responsible for the supply." The envoy knew what the king meant, and directly dispelled his doubts, "In addition, after the matter is completed, my lord will cede the territory of Goguryeo Liaoshan and the north bank of the Huifa River to the Buyeo Kingdom." ”

In the envoy's view, since Jiang Sheng intended to deal with Goguryeo, Goguryeo was naturally in the bag, and he could divide it as he wanted.

When the king heard of Jiang Sheng's ability, he saw that the envoy was full of confidence, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved, the north bank of the Huifa River has rich pastures, and if he got this territory, the people living in the bitter cold area in the north of Buyeo could move south, and the problem of survival could be solved.

Seeing that the king was shaken, the envoy continued: "The Great Han Protector Wuhuan Captain has sent two elite troops and horses with a total of about 50,000 horsemen to deal with the defenders from all over Goguryeo, and if the king's heavenly army is added, it will not be a problem to break Goguryeo. ”

"Is it really you who provide the food and grass?"

"What I said represents the Han court, how can I not believe what I say?"

"Our army is all leather armor, and the defense is very poor, can your country provide iron armor weapons? Then our army will not hold you back, and we will be able to help your army deal with some enemies. ”

When the king opened his mouth, the envoy realized that this old boy had fallen in love with the iron armor of the big man, how could this thing be given to you?

"The king doesn't know, my lord has raised hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to pacify Liaodong, the armor and weapons can't be prepared, and even our main army is not fully equipped, so we can't supply the needs of your army, but the king, please rest assured, our army does the charge, and your army only needs to deal with those fleeing enemy troops, they are all leather armor, no different from you."

After some bargaining, the king of Buyeo agreed to send 30,000 troops, and the two sides were scheduled to assemble in the southern part of Liaoshan.

Deng Mao's 20,000 cavalry first arrived in the southern part of Liaoshan and settled down, waiting for the arrival of the Buyeo army.

Chu Yan led 30,000 iron cavalry to the south of the long-distance attack, from the north of Xuansu County into Goguryeo, straight to the Goguryeo Jingshi inner city, Deng Mao and the Buyeo army after the convergence of the tribes in the north of Goguryeo, the rest of the Goguryeo tribes were all broken, Zhang Ning transferred grain and grass materials from Xuansu to Goguryeo, to supply the soldiers and horses of the southern expedition, the war was far away, the span was large, and it lasted until the summer of the second year before it ended, which is a later story.

The king of Goguryeo was also shocked to learn that Chu Yan, Deng Mao and Buyeo were attacking, although there were many defeats in the previous invasion of Buyeo, but the seized materials were very rich, and Buyeo was timid and afraid, which made Goguryeo look down on it even more, but he did not expect that this time he would dare to collude with the Han to invade Goguryeo.

The king of Goguryeo looked down on the combat strength of the Buyeo army, but he did not dare to despise the cavalry of Chu Yan and Deng Mao, who was also the master of the grassland for nearly ten years. Fearing that Goguryeo would lose, he sent someone to order the officers and troops to retreat.

It is difficult for the Goguryeo official army to withdraw at this moment, because the Goguryeo tribal armies and Tian Yu have adjusted from a hasty response to an active counteroffensive, although there are no major casualties, but the two sides have been stuck together, and no one can get out, so I will not mention it here.

Speaking of Gongsun Du's side alone, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong each led 50,000 soldiers and horses, and went to Xinchang in two ways.
