It has entered autumn, the strong wind in the north blows the Tang army flags are hunting, and in the astringent autumn wind, almost all the 30,000 troops of Yingzhou and Raoledu Governor's Mansion are spread out on the banks of the Liao River, but they are at a loss when they stand on the high bank of the river.

It is no wonder that Zhang Jian was ordered to attack the flank of Goguryeo from the beginning of the Silla request for help in May, but now even at the end of August, he has not hit a single step.

From this direction, in the river fog, where the wind has not lifted, you can faintly see the Korean cavalry galloping back and forth and the towering and sturdy stone fortress.

"The first time Emperor Wen of the former Sui conquered Goryeo, was blocked by the Liao River, 300,000 troops could not advance an inch, and returned in vain, the great cause of eight years, Emperor Yang conquered Liao, personally mentioned the 24th Army to attack the Liao River for more than ten days, the general Mai Tiecane and others died in battle, more than 5,000 people died, the great cause of the thirteenth year, the former Sui Great Cause of the thirteenth year, Yuwen Shusa Shui was defeated, the Ninth Army was defeated, and countless people fled to the Liao River......"

While walking, Zhang Jian was still chattering sadly, and then spread his hands to Li Jie with a tragic face and said: "So, it's really not that the last general doesn't want to enter the army, it's really unbearable!" Goguryeo built the Great Wall of Liaodong on the opposite bank, even if it wanted to cross it by force, it would not be able to stand on the opposite side after crossing the Liao River, and it was really powerless! ”

"Okay, big cousin, I've seen it all, does the Lone King believe that you can't do it?" Blowing the autumn wind, Li Jie once again helplessly stretched out his hand and pressed down, and said with a smile: "When I go back, I will write a recital for my eldest cousin and explain it to my eldest father, you should always rest assured, right?" ”

"No, that's not what the Admiral is worried about!" The words were even more stumbling, and for a long time, the anxious Li Jie stared at him, and Zhang Jian was embarrassed to say it.

"The last time His Majesty came to the edict, the last general has been urging the troops very quickly, I'm afraid that in ten days, it will be time to summon the last general Luoyang to ask for the crime, and Liaoze, the land will become hard in late October, and it will be unimpeded in November, Your Highness, after you take over the command of the last general, can you delay it again! Even if it drags on until the end of October, the risk will be much smaller. ”

Li Jie suddenly realized, no wonder that as soon as they came to Yingzhou, Zhang Jian and Gao Jian were so nervous, and they were afraid that they would seize their command and underestimate the enemy! Don't look at it, even if this king doesn't understand, I don't dare to underestimate the enemy, where is the defeat of Emperor Yang of Sui's million-strong army, crying and laughing, Li Jie once again waved his hand helplessly and said.

"Big cousin, I will declare to you again, this king really didn't come to seek command, it was me who applied to the military department to drive to the battlefield first, to tell you the truth, this king doesn't want to go to Luoyang and be angry with a thief."

Zhang Jian didn't dare to accept this, as a border general, the most important thing is that you must not be involved in the struggle between the DPRK and China, especially the battle between the princes, fortunately, Li Jie said that these were just to shut him up, and after smiling for a while, Li Jie added another one: "Big cousin, believe it or not, there is a way for you to stay in Yingzhou safely, and you don't have to go back to Luoyang?" ”

Zhang Jian obviously didn't believe it.

After inspecting the defense of the Liaohe River in the morning, Zhang Jian took Li Jie to the Chinese army, accepted the visits of the generals from all walks of life, and introduced the situation of the generals to Li Jie in detail.

In the afternoon, Zhang Jian was once again busy with military arrangements, Li Jie was also very conforming to the people's wishes and did not bother him too much, for a few days, either in the vicinity of Liaoze to inspect something, or muttered in his own military camp, and then took his "prostitute boy" to travel around, anxiously busy Zhang Jian inadvertently ignored Li Jie.

Three days later, at night, Li Jie's military camp was busy, fifty carts were transported out of the barracks under the careful hiding of the army, transported to the Liao River, far away from the Yingzhou army, in the barracks tent, Jiao Laosan stood respectfully under the tent, and Li Jie solemnly 'handed over' the letter to him.

"Be sure to 'hand' the letter to my fifth brother of King Qi before the nineteenth of next month, and you must not open it halfway, this is related to the success or failure of this king's 'life', remember!"

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Ma's face was full of solemnity, and Jiao Laosan also seriously carried the letter in his arms, but after a while, he hesitated and persuaded: "Your Highness, Goryeo is so difficult, why do you bother to ...... it yourself?"

"You don't need to persuade this, I've made up my mind!"

Li Jie said very firmly, 'getting' Jiao Laosan had to bow his head and promise, turned around and walked out of the tent, and after a while, more than ten horses disappeared into the night under his leadership, watching Jiao Laosan leave, his eyes flashed a little complicated, Li Jie snorted lightly: "Come out, you can smell the smell of your pretending to be 13 from afar!" ”

"Damn, you can find out about this?" At the entrance of the 'gate' of the Golden Horde, the 'guard' wearing a big helmet took it off depressedly, and wiped his face, isn't that guy Xue Zhiguan or who? was recognized, this guy got up casually, entered the tent with a big grin, grabbed the roast mutton 'meat' and gnawed it, seeing that this guy followed him and started, becoming more and more casual, Li Jie snorted angrily.

"Luo'er has 'inserted' someone into the lone guard in total, isn't it who you are?"

"Eh, the princess is so unreliable...... "Dropping the sheep 'meat', Xue Zhiguan was really helpless, but there was also a kind of doting in his helplessness, and Li Jie sighed, and another letter was thrown in front of him.

"If you don't want Luo'er to become a widow, this letter will be 'handed over' to my fifth brother King Qi before the eighteenth of next month."

"Actually, it's not bad for the eldest lady to marry again." Pinching his chin, Xue Zhiguan nodded seriously, and immediately made Li Jie grit his teeth angrily, and shouted speechlessly: "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu left a last word." Lao Tzu is dead, and I want you to bury Lao Tzu, what do you think Luo'er will do? ”

"Well, Your Highness, you better live well." Wiping a handful of cold sweat, Xue Zhiguan also put the letter in his arms, and then walked out of the tent with a sheep's leg, disappeared in three times and two times, looked at his figure, sighed again, and then Li Jie's eyes also became as black as ink, calm as the deep sea, and solemnly walked out of the big tent.

On the edge of the quagmire of the Liao River, where are the hundreds of guards already waiting, the torches are nervously facing the other side of the river, Wu Meiniang is dressed as a man, her eyes are anxious and excited, Xi Junmai, who followed silently all the way, is full of apprehension, constantly circling in circles, and Wang Fangyi is secretly rubbing his snowy lance on the side.

"Your Highness is here!" In a few exclamations, everyone gave up their seats, and Xi Junmai was the first to greet him, and pleaded in a deep voice: "Your Highness, it's better for the subordinates to go, and the subordinates promise to complete the task!" ”

"Brother Xi, didn't we talk about it?" Shaking his head with a smile, Li Jie vetoed: "First, Brother Xi, you haven't been in contact with those people, and secondly, if you go, Shuo Fangjun will all ask Brother Xi, your task is heavier, and you have to give backup to the orphan organization at any time, besides, if you are younger, if you don't go crazy, won't you live in vain?" ”

"Brother Xi, go and help me look out for the wind!"

Seeing that Li Jie's mind had been decided, Xi Junmai had no choice but to bow down one last time, and the people scattered, Li Jie also became quiet, regardless of looking at the river, about half an hour or so, a big boat actually quietly stopped on the water from the river, Scar Liu immediately stepped forward and shook the torch three times, and the big boat continued to move forward steadily, wading in the soft mud, and two Goguryeo military generals dressed as people took the lead in landing ashore.

"You seem to have a little more people?" After looking left and right, Goguryeo, who was in his forties on the left, first frowned and muttered, but at this time, Li Jie came out of the crowd and hummed with a chuckle: "Fifty carts of property, the place where this son has walked can be full of jackals, and there are more people who don't bring it, and he has already 'handed over' his life." ”

"You can't bring so many people, I agreed to ...... before" The Goguryeo military attache still hesitated, but Li Jie snorted impatiently.

"At least 80,000 troops on the other side, what kind of wind and 'waves' can our more than 100 people set off?"

"In this batch of goods, there are two horses that Gao Yanshou in the south particularly wants, as well as Master Zhang of Xincheng who has dealings with us in the Cotton Textile Guild, Sun Chengshou of Baiyan City, and Silk tea that Master Ke of Gaimu City wants, etc., if we go back and detain our things from this eldest brother in the summons, what do you think?"

The threat of being naked and naked! However, this Goguryeo military general really ate this set, especially after hearing a few names, he was a little more honest, and after muttering a few words, he waved his hand and let Li Jie and others get on the boat, but Li Jie did not go up so directly, and was very careful to order people to pave the ground with wooden planks, and first transport the carriages to the ship.

After carefully walking a few back and forth, more than 50 four-wheeled carriages were transported to the opposite bank, and Li Jie and others also followed on the last trip and set foot on the land of Goguryeo on the other side, Li Jie couldn't help but take a long breath, in the end, he still came, for this Liao King, it was really difficult to fight!

Before the expedition to Goguryeo, from the experience of the former Sui, Li Shimin arranged the domestic affairs in detail, after the army crossed the Liaoshui, the founding prince Li Zhishang sent the domestic situation to Liaodong every day, and the seventy-year-old Li Jing was sick and let Li Shimin take him out of Chang'an, and settled in Xiangzhou to let him stay and recuperate, for fear that there would be a 'chaos' similar to Yang Xuangan's during the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

Only for the national conditions of Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty still stayed in the cognition of a few decades ago, and even Li Shimin didn't even know Liaoshui Liaoze, because Zhang Jian was angry because of his stagnation, and after summoning Luoyang, he knew the actual situation, so he was relieved to reuse Zhang Jian and cost a fighter in vain.

Also, the most famous reconnaissance of Goguryeo, or his uncle Li Daozong, when the army drank horse Liaoshui, this famous general of the clan took a hundred horsemen deep into Liaodong for more than ten days, and then defeated and intercepted the Goryeo cavalry to get out safely, and the heroic actions did strengthen the Tang army's prestige, the question is, hiding in Tibet for several days, what can be detected?

As a last resort, Li Jie went into battle shirtless, he believed in himself and could see the most real Goryeo!

"Hmph, if you want to say that your cotton textile guild is really bold enough, now Datang has called over immediately, and dared to deliver goods, and you really have the ability, within a radius of several miles, not a single Tang dog cavalry has been seen." On the one hand, the organization hid the ship, and on the other hand, the Goguryeo military attache was still humming, and the sentence Tang Gou immediately made Xiao Bai's face, Scar Liu, and even the 'medicine' Geluo was frowning, his face was ugly, and his thoughts were interrupted, and Li Jie hummed easily: "Haven't you heard that merchants have no borders?" ”

"Anyway, when the time comes, I want to die thousands of flat-headed people like you and me, and the high-ranking old men will still be so noble, and there will be no shortage of businessmen anywhere."

These words caused a resonance among the Goguryeo military attachés, and after lowering their heads and muttering dullly, they took Li Jie and others to walk inland, holding the sign of Gaoshou in the north along the way, and along the way, dozens of Goguryeo people interrogated by Li Jie swaggering and easily 'mixed' the past, and when the sky was shining, a steep mountain city appeared in the eyes of Li Jie and his party.

Gaimu City!
