Chapter 372: The Dog Jumps Over the Wall

The time soon came to the beginning of the winter moon, and a month had passed since Gongsun Du had fully retreated from the Western Front.

In this month, many things happened in the land of Liaodong.

First of all, despite the persuasion of the people around him, Gongsun Du sent an envoy with a large amount of money to the north of Xuanwu County to secretly meet with Su Li, the chief of Xianbei in Liaodong who was entrenched in the area of Rao Leshui, and lured Su Li to send troops into the area between Yiwu Lu Mountain and Da Liao Shui, to assist Gongsun Du to resist the continuous erosion from western Liao to Xu Huang and Tian Yu.

There are more than 220 miles wide between Yiwu Lu Mountain and Da Liaoshui, and there are 300 miles deep in the north and south, such a large area originally belonged to the territory of the Han Dynasty, but because of Gongsun Du's momentary advantage and the dog jumped off the wall, he handed it over to Hu Lu.

Su Li's nephew Cheng Lu died in front of the Youzhou army at the beginning of the year, and he has not even found a corpse, and Liaodong Xianbei suffered heavy losses in the battle of Baishan City, and tens of thousands of tribal warriors were either buried in the grassland, or were sent into the dark pit by Liu and the black-hearted guy. Su Li has such a deep hatred with Youzhou, and always wants to get revenge back, so he hit it off with Gongsun Du.

Su Li, as the leader of Liaodong Xianbei, was the last thing he wanted to see Liu He regain the land of Liaodong, and then station the army under his nose, because this was a huge threat to the survival of the Xianbei people in Liaodong. Although Gongsun Du is known as the king of Liaodong, he has only been busy fighting with Goguryeo and attacking the land of Donglai all these years, but he is unable to advance northward, so the Xianbei people living in the Liaodong region do not feel too much threat, and Liu He is completely different from Gongsun Du, he not only has an army of 100,000 who are invincible, but also has great vigilance and hatred for the Xianbei people in the north, once the four counties of Liaodong fall into the hands of Liu He, it will not take a few years. Liu He would deal with the surrounding alien races, and the Xianbei people of Liaodong were the first to bear the brunt.

In view of such a grim and urgent situation, as soon as the envoy sent by Gongsun Du to the grassland said the request of the two families to join forces, Su Li did not hesitate to send 30,000 cavalry into the large area ceded by Gongsun Du, as if he wanted to fight with Liu He's troops again, and said that he would be ashamed of the defeat of Snow White Mountain.

After Gongsun Du attracted the hungry wolf of the Xianbei people from the northern grasslands, he still felt that he was insufficient, and at the same time he also sent people to the domestic city to contact the hostile force Goguryeo, and did not hesitate to give up Gokhyeo and Sigaima and other places in the north of Xuansu County to Goguryeo, and then exchange for Goguryeo's temporary support.

The envoy sent by Gongsun Du to the inner city of the capital of the Goguryeo king tried his best to tell the Goguryeo king about the cruelty and tyranny of Liu He's army. Stating the great harm of Liaodong falling into the hands of Liu He, he instigated the king of Goguryeo to send troops from the direction of Xi'an Ping, went around to the city of Yushi, cut off the rear retreat of the Liao army, and followed the route of Xian Yuyin's march on the Liaodong Peninsula to block this "invasion" of Liaodong troops in Xinchang City, and finally several parties joined forces to completely solve the Xian Yu Yin Department that penetrated into the hinterland of Liaodong.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Goguryeo Kingdom was mainly composed of the Hui people and the Fuyu people, and then absorbed some of the Jin people. The remnants of ancient Joseon and the Samhan people. Because the Goguryeo Kingdom was located in an area that spanned Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang in later China, as well as parts of the northern part of Korea and Korea, historians from several countries have claimed that Goguryeo was a primitive people originating from their own country, which has caused many verbal controversies.

However, the most important thing is that the Goguryeo Kingdom that appeared in history is not at all the same as the Goryeo Kingdom that later appeared in the Tohoku region and the Korean Peninsula. Although the names of the two are only one word apart, they are fundamentally different.

The beginning of the formation of the Goguryeo Kingdom was in 37 BC, that is, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, the first lord of Goguryeo was the prince Jumong, who had escaped from the Great and Small Hung'an Tombs and even further north from the Fuyu Kingdom. After more than 200 years of development, Goguryeo has become an important force in the area from Mazishui to Qianshan Mountains in the northeast of the Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period (renamed the Yalu River after the Tang Dynasty). It is mixed with the Fuyu, Rulou, and Wofu forces in the north and the Tapir, Mahan, Chenhan, and Benhan on the Korean Peninsula, and these forces are all influenced by the Han people in Liaodong.

Goguryeo flourished during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, when the Han Chinese had been forced south of the Yangtze River by the flourishing Xianbei and other northern nomads. As a result, Goguryeo was no longer limited by a strong enemy, so it continued to expand in the northeast.

The decline and fall of Goguryeo began with several conquests of the Sui Dynasty, until Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, said "revenge for China's children", and then the army continued to pour into the northeast, and finally completely erased this despicable and cunning dynasty from the historical map in 668 AD. However, many historical materials and books in later generations always vaguely refer to the three eastern crusades of Emperor Yang of Sui and the eastern crusade of the Tang Empire as the eastern crusade of Goryeo, which is a huge mistake!

Goguryeo is Goguryeo, and Goryeo is Goryeo, and it must not be confused, because this involves the greed and ambition of a group of sticks on the Korean Peninsula in later generations for my Chinese territory!

The Goryeo Dynasty was established on the Korean Peninsula in 918 A.D. during the period of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, and was founded by a man named Wang Jian, who was the same as Wang Jian, a subordinate of Gongsun Du mentioned above. Kaesong, the capital of the Goryeo Dynasty, belonged to the ancient kingdom of Goguryeo during the Three Kingdoms period, so Wang Jian took Goryeo as his country name. The Goryeo Dynasty was confined to the Korean Peninsula for more than 440 years from its founding to its demise, until it was replaced by the Joseon Dynasty in 1392.

Some nationalists on the Korean Peninsula in later generations, as well as some shameless historians, did not recognize the huge and obvious differences between Goguryeo and Goryeo, but deliberately confused Goguryeo with Goryeo, simply because the ancient Goguryeo Kingdom occupied many places in the northeast during its prosperity, and even the area around the Bohai Sea in Hebei was controlled by it. These shameless guys are so ignorant of historical facts, and their intentions and purposes are naturally very impure.

Although the Goryeo Kingdom established in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula by the Samhan kings originated from Goguryeo, these were two completely different countries, not a continuous dynasty, because more than 95% of the territory of Wang's Goryeo and Goguryeo did not coincide, the language was completely different, and the historical age gap was more than 250 years.

To sum it up in one sentence: Goguryeo was a local government in Chinese history, which was later destroyed by the central dynasty Tang Dynasty, while Goryeo was a regime that appeared later on the Korean Peninsula and had nothing to do with Goguryeo.

To clarify Goguryeo and Goryeo is to prevent some ultra-nationalists in the country from coveting the northeastern territory of China!

However, he said that the king of Goguryeo at this time was overjoyed when he learned of the great changes that had taken place in Liaodong, and he felt that this was an excellent opportunity to get his hands on the lower reaches of the Mazi River, and once Goguryeo's troops entered the Liaodong Peninsula, they could completely cut the connection between Lelang County, which was subordinate to the Han Dynasty, and Liaodong, laying the foundation for the future encroachment of Lelang and entering Sanhan.

At this time, Lelang County, located in the northwest of the Korean Peninsula, east of Mazishui, has more than a dozen counties under its jurisdiction, originally belonged to the easternmost county of Youzhou, and the geographical location is very important. After Gongsun Du seized Liaodong, he naturally put Lelang County under his jurisdiction.

After Gongsun Du successively colluded with the Xianbei and Goguryeo people in Liaodong, he deployed all the remaining troops along the periphery of Xiangping, including 15,000 naval divisions stationed in Liaoxun City, 20,000 soldiers and horses in Liaoyang, and 30,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangping, hoping to resist to the end through such strict defense.

After Gongsun Du reconstructed the external defense line, he turned around and carried out a serious inventory and elimination of dissenting voices and dissidents inside. He sent troops to capture Guan Ning from his seclusion to Xiangping, and then took care of these two famous men, and then sent people to Xinchang to send a message to Xian Yuyin, claiming that as long as Xian Yuyin sent troops to attack Xiangping, he would execute these two people to blackmail Xian Yuyin.

When Xian Yuyin and Han Heng came to Liaodong with fake identities, they had received a lot of help from Wang Lie, and Liu He was even more interested in recruiting Guan Ning, but now Gongsun Du completely ignored the opposition of the Liaodong scholars, and used these people as shields and talismans.

Because it was related to the personal safety of the three celebrities, Xian Yuyin had some traps, so he hurriedly sent someone to return to Lingzhi by sea to ask Liu He for instructions on his next move.

At the same time, Xu Huang and Tian Yu, who had completely integrated and digested more than 15,000 troops from Gongsun Du on the Western Front, found traces of the Xianbei people in Liaodong when they led their troops to advance eastward over Yiwu Lu Mountain.

In Lingzhi City, Liu He received reports from Xian Yuyin and Xu Huang one after another, and he also had a headache about these new situations in Liaodong.

"Fengxiao, the harsh winter has arrived, and the climate in the northeast is abnormally cold, is it not to let the troops on the east and west lines defend on the spot first, and wait until next year to get warmer, and then make plans and plans?"

"The Duliao Army has successfully completed the second phase of the combat mission, and it is indeed not suitable to expand again without backup. The logistics department should raise a batch of grain and grass supplies as soon as possible and send them to the front line in Yushui, so as not to eat up the grain stocks of Xu Huang and Tian Yu with the more than 10,000 soldiers captured. ”

"Well, I will send someone to the western front to transfer the backbone of Xu Jingshan and the Wenxuan Division to Liaodong, and assist Xu Huang and Tian Yu in transforming Liaodong on the spot. As for the logistical replenishment, the Jicheng Command has been stepping up its operations, and presumably a large number of military supplies will arrive in Lingzhi soon, and I will send Sun Li and the Longhuwei Light Cavalry Battalion to escort them all the way to the front line in Yushui.
