Wulu Shou Capture is also built in the early Tang Dynasty, located in the south of Yiwu Lu Mountain, and the southwest of the ancient county town of Liaoxi is about 100 miles away, but the old county town of Liaoxi is basically abandoned, and the Bohai people only have part of the troops stationed in Wulu Shou and Huai Yuan. Because around these two military forts, there are still some Goguryeo remnants and Bohai people, as well as a few villages inhabited by Han people. At the same time, the garrison here was also to protect the trade route from the Bohai Kingdom to Youzhou.

2,000 soldiers all marched on horseback, although the road was not very walking, after half a day, the soldiers came to Wulu to guard the military city, this military city is also very dilapidated, the city gate closed after hearing the warning is mottled with paint, the wall built by bad soil is less than two zhang high, and the sparse blue Bohai naval flag on the head of the city also seems to be lonely and lonely. Just like this Haidong domain, it is heading towards sunset.

During the reign of the Great Yi Zhen, the Bohai State completely emulated the Tang Dynasty, with comprehensive national strength, economic and cultural development, and the national power reached its peak. However, after the death of the Great Yi Zhen, his younger brother Da Qianhuang ascended the throne, and did not deal with the contradictions between the internal Jin Ya and Goguryeo and other tribes, and a large-scale uprising and rebellion broke out in the later period. After his grandson Da Hyun Seok ascended the throne, he was only trying his best to maintain stability, but contradictions still existed.

In the final analysis, the Bohae Kingdom is composed of the main body of the Jin people and some Goguryeo remnants, which is also a bit of a tribal alliance. Because it is only a general name, it is not just a tribe, there are many sub-tribes, and they are relatively independent. Although the Bohai State also followed the example of the Tang Dynasty and set up more than 20 state capitals, the power of the state capitals was still in the hands of the patriarchs of various ethnic groups.

The original territory of the Bohai State was only one Bohai Governor's Office, and later it went north to the people, annexed half of the Heishui Governor's Mansion, and encroached on the area north of Gaimuzhou, the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, as well as the east of Yalu Water and the north of Pyongyang, which were all areas of actual control. In other words, there were immigrants from within the Bohai Sea who came to settle and achieved de facto rule.

However, in the southern part of Andong and Yingzhou, Bohai was only a garrison and did not really control it, and these places were vast and sparsely populated, and there were many bandits. In fact, it is also a buffer zone between the Tang Dynasty and the Khitan. Although Datang did not garrison troops, he did not forget this place, and there were still people in the court who led Anton to protect the capital, but they didn't care about the affairs here.

Anton is too big, Zhuang Yi doesn't want to fight for the time being, because he can't be governed, he only needs the entire Yingzhou, but after Wu Chongli was driven out of Liucheng, he is now stationed in Wulu to guard and capture. Zhuang Yi knew, he didn't want to talk nonsense, so he asked the soldiers to shoot arrows and send a message to the military city, and then ordered the soldiers to dismount and line up, putting on a posture of imminent siege.

Not long after, Wu Chongli appeared at the head of the city and shouted: "The city is the envoy of the Zhuang army!" Your envoy just passed here a month ago, and he must have arrived at Longquan Mansion, and my lord will soon have a decree, why didn't Zhuang Jun make a few more days? To make such rude acts, should I be deceived by waiting? ”

"I told you last year that it must be delivered at the beginning of spring this year, and now it's April, how long do you want to delay? Now my army is dispatched, and you are limited to hand over the two guards of Wulu and Huaiyuan within three days, and offer 50,000 stone grain and grass, otherwise, don't blame me for killing and plundering! Zhuang Yi replied coldly.

"I advise you not to be reckless, a certain family also has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on hand, if you dare to attack the city, let you know that it is powerful!" Wu Chongli roared angrily.

"Cut! Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses...... Who are you fooling? When my follow-up Youzhou army of 100,000 arrives, your chance to escape will be gone! Let me catch it again, and I will not be spared! And also...... Quickly send an order to Da Xuanxi, send 50,000 stone of grain, dare to lose a bucket, and the 100,000 Youzhou army will step on your Bohai Kingdom! ”

Zhuang Yi scoffed and threatened half-truthfully. He had received a report from the sentry that there were not even a thousand garrisons in this military city.

Indeed, Wu Chongli is just a stubble, he wants to delay time to transfer his property, of course, he doesn't want to retreat so much, the last time he was defeated in Liucheng, many people in the court have blamed him.

"You don't want to be a fool, a fox and a tiger...... My Bohai Kingdom has always been good with Youzhou, and the two sides have never been evil, and it is impossible for Youzhou Li Envoy Jun to send troops, let alone ask for food, since you say so, can you submit documents to my lord? ”

When Wu Chongli asked this, he really stopped Zhuang Yi, he really didn't prepare any documents, did he forge them? This kind of thing is going to get you in trouble.

"There is no clerical ...... I have written a letter, and you can present it to the lord of your house! And the soldiers, I also brought them! You have to pay it, and you have to pay it if you don't! That's what you agreed to last year, don't go back on it. Zhuang Yi shouted viciously.

"Having said that, I have to report this matter to the Nanwei General's Mansion in Liaodong, and let him make a decision, otherwise the above will blame me, and I will also be a capital crime, so it is better to defend it here. Wouldn't it be better for Zhuang Jun to give a few days of grace and personally negotiate with General Nanwei at that time. Wu Chongli's tone softened, but he still wanted to delay.

"Very good...... It's up to seven days! Zhuang Yi agreed in one bite, of course he understood that if he talked about this matter with some Nanwei general of the Bohai Kingdom, there was a chance that he would not even be able to catch a single hair, let alone grain and territory.

Because people's thighs are thicker than him and there are more troops than him, they can only take down the territory first before they react, and grab a handful by the way, resulting in a fait accompli. At that time, whether to fight or talk, that's all for the future, it's nonsense! Who wouldn't ......

Zhuang Yi came here for food, and he also figured out Wu Chongli's little abacus, how could he let him escape with money and food, and retreated two or three miles away, ordered the soldiers to camp, and cut down trees to build siege equipment, and at the same time scattered rangers, monitored the movement of the east and west gates of the military fort, and made a waiting posture.

After a while, a sentry cavalry reported back, intercepted the herald who came out of the military fort, and sent two letters, which Zhuang Yi did not know in the credible Bohai script. asked Gao Baonu, the captain of the left battalion of the third regiment, to read the letter, because he was a Bohai man, and he could read and write, and knew some inside information about the Bohai country.

The letter was written by Wu Chongli to Gao Jingcheng, the general of the southeast guard of Liaoning, and there was also a letter to Gao Leming, who was captured by Huaiyuan, to the effect that Zhuang Yi wanted grain and territory, but he did not exaggerate.

Zhuang Yi thought about it for a while, and asked the sentry to return the letter to the Bohai soldiers and let them pass. The Southern Wei General's Mansion in Liaodong will have to receive the letter at least tomorrow afternoon, and Huaiyuan will not be arrested until tomorrow morning. By that time, the big picture had been decided, and when they knew it, the daylilies were cold.

"This Nanwei general seems to be from the Kaifu, how many soldiers and horses are in charge? How is this Gao Jingcheng? After sending away the sentry, Zhuang Yi asked Gao Baonu.

"This Gao Jingcheng has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, how can he be a man...... It can be said that he is greedy, but he was born in the Bohai clan, and he is good at drilling, and no one in the court of the Bohai Kingdom can help him. ”
