Sun Zengyou detailed the situation of Yuansong and Hu Xiegu, which inevitably involved each other's identities.

Yuan Song, as the only outstanding descendant of Yuan Bin's lineage, is the heir recognized by the public. However, Yuan Binzhi was more optimistic about Hu Xiegu, and recommended him to the king of Goguryeo many times to improve his status and inherit his position as the eldest brother in soapy clothes in the future.

Luo Shixin still had an understanding of the official position of Goguryeo, and the official position system of Goguryeo was different from that of the court of the Central Plains. In particular, it is very similar to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, mainly because they began to imitate and absorb frantically during that period." They are also a very hierarchical country. Its official position is mainly divided into nine grades, which is the same as that of the nine products.

"As far as I know, in Goguryeo, the blood of the nobility is valued, and their first facial features are all children of the nobility. Even if Hu Xiegu is the righteous son of Yuan Binzhi, I am afraid that he is not qualified to be the eldest brother of the soapy clothes! Luo Shixin's eyes flashed with brilliance, the name of Goguryeo's official position is strange, their first-class official is called Da Zheng Lu, who always knows state affairs, is equivalent to the prime minister, and is elected every three years, if the official is very competent, there is no term of office. The second product is called too big brother; From the second grade is called Yu Zhe, which is equivalent to the premier of the State Council and is in charge of the economy, the third grade is called the doctor's envoy, and from the third grade is called the soapy head brother, these five official positions are called "the first five officials", which belong to high-level officials and hold the country's military, political and financial power.

These five official positions were the core official positions that were crucial to the control of the Goguryeo regime.

Sun Zengyou smiled and nodded: "Let the adults say right, Yuan Binzhi is quite fair and not selfish." attaches great importance to Liaodong, which he has guarded for more than 40 years, and will consider the overall situation of Liaodong. Hu Slope Valley is indeed more important than Yuan Song. Their big pair, Lu Yuan Dazuo, did not agree with Yuan Binzhi's idea. After all, Hu Xiegu is an untrustworthy outsider. The military and political power in Liaodong must be in the hands of their own people. Recommendation for Yuan Binzhi. and ignored it, but gave Yuansong great power. But even so. Yuan Binzhi still did not change his original intention, which also led to the extremely unharmonious relationship between Yuan Song and Hu Xiegu. ”

Luo Shixin clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Liaodong City, Xincheng, and Jian'an City are each other's horns and can support each other. Then I'll attack the three cities together and see how he can support them. ”

Sun Zengyou was dumbfounded, and he was speechless.

Sun Zengyou's analysis is reasonable and well-founded, even if Li Daozong, Zhang Shigui, and Cheng Mingzhen are biased, they have to admit this and reach a consensus. This is to be Liaodong. First break the new city, build the city, cut off the horns of Liaodong, and then attack Liaodong with all your might.

Luo Shixin's three cities attacked together, which was really thunderous. As the attacking side, the Tang army's strength did not have an advantage, not to mention Yang Guang's million-strong army, Yang Jian's 300,000 in the past was still far inferior. After all, there is still a difference between the current Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty in the past, Yang Jian inherited the legacy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Yang Guang inherited his powerful empire from Lao Tzu. On the population base, the Sui Dynasty was around 60 million. The Tang Dynasty was only 25 million. The Tang Dynasty was in ruins, and it was a two-front battle, and 100,000 soldiers and horses had reached a limit for the Tang Dynasty to bear. Liaodong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it may not be able to defeat it with all its strength. They have 100,000 soldiers. In addition to more than 30,000 naval troops, the infantry cavalry was only 70,000, and this army attacked the city in three ways. It's a very unwise move.

Zhang Shigui said after half a sound: "Our troops are too small, and I am afraid that we will lose the division of troops." ”

"I'm just going to give the other side a victory...... "Luo Shixin smiled confidently, "we won't lose the last one." The next battle will not be easy to fight. ”

The generals were stunned when they heard this, and their quick minds had already understood Luo Shixin's intentions.

Luo Shixin immediately ordered: "Manager Zhang, Manager Cheng." You led more than 30,000 naval troops, supplemented by 5,000 elite soldiers who landed in the city, and marched by water to attack Beisha City. Be sure to take Beisha City, threaten the capital of Goguryeo, let them throw a rat trap, care about the safety of the national capital, and dare not support Liaodong too much. ”

Zhang Zhenzhou and Cheng Mingzhen stood up and shouted to receive orders.

"Brother Sun, you are a staff member under Hu'er and Zhou Fashang in the past, and you have personally experienced their cross-sea battles, and you are familiar with the route, so I bother you to show the way." After Luo Shixin gave the order, he turned to Sun Zengyou.

Sun Zengyou said without hesitation: "Willing to serve." ”

"Dingfang, you lead 15,000 soldiers and horses to attack Jian'an City, Ren is the king of the city, and you lead 15,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xincheng, remember to put on a posture of empty eyes, so that they think that we have a big victory over the enemy." Luo Shixin reminded him at the key point.

Li Daozong and Su Dingfang are both shrewd people, and they understand the order.

"The others will besiege Liaodong City with me, only besieging and not fighting." Luo Shixin gave the final order, but his eyes looked at Jiang Xingben and said: "Jiang Jiangzuo, when we were besieging the city, you did everything in your power to make siege equipment. Attacking Liaodong, anyone can do it without it, and you will definitely have no sharp weapons. ”

Jiang Xingben perked up and said loudly: "Wrap it up on me." ”

The troops were divided into three routes, and the three ways to attack the city, and the Tang army's action similar to a fool's hat immediately attracted the attention of Yuan Binzhi, Hu Xiegu, and Yuan Song.

Yuan Binzhi looked at the Tang army with many barriers under Liaodong City, and there was indescribable worry between his eyebrows. The Tang army broke through their Great Wall and Liaoshui defense line, revealing their fatal flaw: there were too few talents in charge of the party. Goguryeo is Goguryeo after all, and it cannot be said that their country has no talents: the late Yuanziyou, Eulzhi Wende, and the current Yuanbinzhi, Yuangai Suwen, Yang Wanchun, Eulzhi Houwu, etc., all have abilities and talents that are better than ordinary people, but a remote small country is a remote small country, and compared with the Central Plains, which is rich in land and resources, talents are much inferior after all.

Luo Shixin's digital directors all have the ability to take charge of their own affairs, but Goguryeo is not so extravagant.

There are a lot of brave people, and there is a shortage of people who can take charge of themselves, and the only good people that Yuan Binzhi can rely on are Hu Xiegu and Gao Changyong, according to his overall layout of defensive ideas, with the Great Wall and Liaoshui as the first line of defense. Liaodong City, Xincheng, and Jian'an City are the second line of defense, and the first line of defense cannot be defended, and the second line of defense continues.

Yuan Binzhi was originally very confident in the defense line he had spent forty-five years sorting out, and according to his defensive experience, he thought that even if the Tang Dynasty sent three or four hundred thousand soldiers and horses like the Sui Dynasty, he would not be afraid. An army of 100,000 was not even enough to break through his first line of defense.

Who would have thought that the Tang army was far more powerful than he imagined, and directly broke through his defense line without blood, and also besieged and killed his trusted general, Gao Changyong, the city lord of Xincheng.

This is where Yuanbin's headache lies, Gao Changyong's death directly leads to the loss of a single general in Xincheng, one of the three horns, and he has no choice but to arrange his grandson Yuansong over. Yuan Song has wisdom and understands military strategy, but his heart is the biggest problem, he wanted to stay by his side for five years, polish his heart, and give him a heavy responsibility, but now he has to be sent to the top.

Yuan Song's instability has also become one of his current heart diseases.

At the beginning, he thought about changing the Yuan Song Palace, but in the end he didn't make this heart. Even if you are a fair person, it is impossible not to have a certain selfishness in terms of family affection.

Now the Tang army is empty-sighted, and the troops are divided into three ways to besiege the three cities: if this is because of the previous victory, it is better to say that there is pride. If you deliberately expose a flaw because you see through Yuansong's temperament, it will be dangerous.

Yuan Binzhi has been in Liaodong for forty-five years, and he only knows that there is a swamp road, and he doesn't know where that hidden road is, and Tang Jun can know and use it, which is enough to prove that the other party's intelligence source cannot be underestimated. Yuan Song's temperament should not be hidden from him.

"Song'er, don't let grandpa down!"

Yuan Binzhi thought about the ear of his face when he sent Yuan Song away, and prayed silently in his heart.

Jian'an Fortress is located in the southwest of Liaodong City, near the sea, built along with the cliff, not only to support Liaodong City, but also to penetrate into the Goguryeo Mansion Pass Gateway, in Liaodong status is second only to the main city of Liaodong.

Yuan Binzhi gave this position, second only to the lord of Liaodong City, to Hu Xiegu, which shows the importance of Hu Xiegu.

Hu Xiegu stood in the tower of Jian'an City, looking at the Tang army under the city wall, his brows were tightly locked, and Yuan Binzhi thought the same, did the Tang army win this faint move and underestimate them, or did it have ill intentions?

Looking at the direction of the new city, Hu Xiegu also inexplicably showed some worries.

"Look, my lord!" Adjutant General Leshan suddenly pointed to the rear of the Tang Army barracks, revealing a surprised voice.

Hu Xiegu looked at it with great eyes, but as far as the eye could see, there were big trees that had collapsed, and hundreds of Tang troops were in full swing with their chests and arms exposed.

"They're making siege machines!" Hu Xiegu said in a deep voice.

A burst of horror suddenly flashed in Leshan's eyes, he was a native of Liaodong, when Yang Guang's 600,000 army besieged Liaodong City, countless flying stones fell from the sky, and the slate-like cannonballs could smash living people into flesh, and they could smash the stiff city wall into cracks, and said with a somewhat trembling voice: "I heard that the siege equipment of the Tang army is more terrifying than that of the Sui Dynasty, I don't know if it is true or false." ”

Hu Xiegu said in a deep voice: "Whether it is true or false, it is inconclusive. But judging from the siege equipment captured by the Sui Dynasty that was not destroyed, it was already a great threat. ”

Leshan said solemnly: "The general is going to use the ape arm battalion?" ”

Hu Xiegu nodded silently and said, "Wait until they build a certain number before acting...... Now prepare some flammable fire oil for the Ape Arm Camp as much as possible. ”

"Understood!" Leshan received the order.

Almost at the same time!

Yuan Song also watched the other party's bold Tang army set up camp under their noses, and brazenly cut down trees to make siege equipment.

"How can it be!" Yuan Song was shouldering a heavy responsibility for the first time, and when he saw Tang Jun underestimating him like this, there was a fire burning again in his heart, thinking about whether to go out and teach the other party a lesson, and suddenly thought of the pure teaching of his grandfather Yuan Binzhi, and he gritted his teeth and endured this anger.
