Thank you for your support, Drunken Smile, pp197623, thank you!

With the full support of Yi Feng, the 'bird thief' Li Keshi has initially established a Feixin network, set up a first-class pigeon station with Wujing as the center, and then spread out the network with these five pigeon stations as the backbone. Important news such as important military intelligence, local disasters, and banditry will be transmitted to the state capital as soon as possible, and then transmitted back to the nearby capital, and finally forwarded to the Jingshi Imperial Court. In the same way, when the imperial court had some important orders to convey to the locality, they would also be issued through the swift network of guò.

However, even if it is a revolutionary Feixin network, it will take a lot of time to travel from Chang'an in Guanzhong to Liaodong City on the east bank of the Liao River. The pigeon station in Xijing, which was well informed, was first sent to Luoyang, then forwarded from Luoyang to Youzhou, and then sent from Youzhou to Yuguan. After arriving in Yuguan, the Feixin network has reached its limit, and it has to rely on traditional manpower in Liaoxi and Liaodong outside the Guan. The best messengers sent by Yuguan rode to western Liaoning, and in the territory of western Liaoxi, there were some small military stations left by Li Jing's troops along the way, which could be exchanged for people and horses, but after arriving at the Songshan camp, four hundred miles to the east, there were no such supply stations along the way, and even the surrounding areas were all castles and villages of the Goguryeo people, so they had to be careful of being ambushed at all times.

From Xijing to Liaodong City, the distance is 3,500 miles, even if there are flying pigeons flying 2,700 miles in the pass, but the last 800 miles have to rely on horses.

Yi Feng gave Li Jing the latest order, but this decree was still delayed by three days. In addition, it also took three days for the news of Liaodong City to be transmitted back to Daxing before, which made it possible for Li Jing to receive Yi Feng's latest holy decree again. He was in a very different situation than he was six days ago.

Six days can change a lot.

Six days ago. Li Jing ventured into a long-distance raid, taking advantage of its suddenness. Fraudulently seized Liaodong City, and took the eastern gate of Goguryeo without blood. Then, Li Jing was not satisfied, he was born with an adventurous temperament in his bones, and he liked to use strange and dangerous things the most, which was very different from his usual personality, in normal times, Li Jing was a very stable and cautious person. But as soon as he led the troops into battle, he would immediately change into a person, a gambler, a skilled and daring gambler. So far, he has never lost a bet, which makes him more and more obsessed with this method. After taking Liaodong City, Li Jing refused to feel at ease, and he immediately set his sights on the next target.

Li Jing's new target was the new city north of Liaodong City, which was actually the Xuansu County set up in the Han Dynasty, and the seat of governance was in today's Fushun. Xincheng is the Western Jin Dynasty. The new city built by Goguryeo on the Goer Mountain in Fushun was named Xincheng. Since its establishment, this city has been an important military town of Goguryeo in the central region on the east bank of the Liao River, and it has been watching over each other with Liaodong City. In 339 AD, Murong Hao defeated the Goguryeo soldiers. To the new city, it was said that the new city. The western town of Goryeo is the most important. If you don't map first, Yucheng may not be able to go down. In fact, this is also true. In the later Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, the new city was broken, and the north bank of the Yalu River was flat. Liaodong City guards the Liao River, while the new city guards the Xiaoliao River, which is later the traffic artery on the north bank of the Hunhe River, and the geographical location is very important.

This city is built on the Gaoer Mountain, the highest point of the hillside is about more than 50 zhang above sea level, the whole mountain city is composed of the east city, the west city, the south acropolis, the north acropolis and the southeast corner of the three ring small cities constitute an organic union, forming a three-dimensional defense system. The circumference of the city wall is eight miles, the east and west are two miles long, the north and south are nearly two miles wide, there are three gates of north, east and south, the terrain of the mountain city is dangerous, condescending.

After successfully taking Liaodong City, Li Jing was no longer in a dangerous situation where he was alone, but became a sharp sword inserted into the enemy's chest. Being able to take Liaodong City so quickly, Li Jing was also a little surprised in his heart, a qiē was too smooth, and it was far beyond expectations. While being overjoyed, Li Jing couldn't sit still. After carefully listening to the surrounding information provided by the Military Intelligence Department, Li Jing planned to do another vote.

In the original city lord's mansion of Liaodong City, Li Jing summoned the generals in the army.

He was dressed in armor and said straight to the point, "It is a great achievement to take Liaodong City, but it is not yet time to relax and be happy." We should see that now we have an extremely rare, even once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo, led 80,000 soldiers and horses to cross the Liao River to seize Liaoxi, they never imagined that we would kill us so quickly this time, and they never imagined that we could have won the victory of White Wolf City in such a short period of time, and then they copied his lair so boldly and stabbed him in the gut. Now Gao Yuan is still in Liucheng, Yingzhou, six hundred hours away. We have to do something, we can't take Liaodong City, and then just sit here and wait. Now the east bank of the Liao River is very empty, and the main force has gone to Liaoxi with Gao Yuan. That's why we were able to easily win Liaodong City, and the same is true of other cities in Liaodong, so we can do it again. ”

Li Jing slammed his fist on the table, his expression became excited, and he pointed to the new city north of Liaodong City on the map.

"Xincheng, the western town of Goguryeo, is the most important, it has always been the two most important cities in the middle of the east bank of the Liaohe River with Liaodong City, and now we have won Liaodong City, if we can win Xincheng again, then the entire central area on the east bank of the Liaohe River is ours, and the Goguryeo people have no chance to gain a foothold. This is the Xuansu County of the Han Dynasty, at this time the same guard is empty, and it is only three hundred miles away from Liaodong City, if we immediately send troops to attack Liaodong City, maybe Xincheng does not know that we have taken Liaodong City. ”

Li Jing was also wearing a suit of armor, and he looked at Li Jing's finger pointing at Xincheng on the map, frowning slightly.

"Three hundred miles, this distance is not short, and we are not sure whether Xincheng has already known that we have captured Liaodong City, and the soldiers are in danger, after all, it is dangerous, but we can't do it again. I think that now that we have taken Liaodong City, we can sit firmly in the city and wait for the arrival of the imperial army, and we will not be able to take such a risk again. ”

Another general, Luo Yi, was silent, originally he was also opposed to radical adventures like Li Jing. But the success of this Liaodong attack greatly changed his attitude. For example, if the two sides really mobilize their own troops and horses, and then have a serious offensive and defensive battle, then there are more than 50,000 people to defend Liaodong City, and the besieging side will have at least more than 200,000 people, and such a one-to-four ratio of troops, the defending side will not make any mistakes, and it will be able to defend it for a year. It can be said that in a serious siege war, if you want to take this city, you have to fill it with human lives, especially in this kind of war between the two countries, the side defending the city is fighting on the mainland, and it occupies more people and places, and even has a lot of time. But with a surprise attack, they easily took the city. At the moment, Liaodong is empty, and it is completely possible to try again. If they can take the new city again, then with these two important towns and relying on each other for support, it will be difficult for the Goguryeo people to retake them even if the whole country comes to fight.

"I agree with the marshal's plan, Gao Yuan is still in Liaoxi, and now the new city is empty, we can try again. Even if Xincheng finds out about us, we won't have anything to lose. For the time being, none of the Goguryeo people was capable of organizing a battle for the city of Liaodong. Besides, we now have 30,000 men, and we can immediately send people to transfer the soldiers and horses of the Songshan battalion. "The Songshan battalion was originally prepared to block Gao Yuan's retreat, and in addition, it was also to be able to meet them in case of an unfavorable attack on Liaodong City. But now that Liaodong City has been taken, there is food and equipment here, so there is no problem for the 30,000 horses of the Songshan Battalion to be transferred to Liaodong City.

"I still don't think you can take too many risks, you should seek stability, and you can't give away the good shape in front of you." Li Jing insisted.

"Today's good situation is not just a risk. And it's not a risk, it's the right decision to make according to the form. Luo Yi argued with him.

Li Jing didn't expect Luo Yi to stand firmly on his side, he thought about it for a while, and said, "I think so, a certain person will lead 10,000 light horsemen to Xincheng, and Li Jing and Luo Yi will lead 20,000 people to stay in Liaodong City, and in addition, how about transferring 10,000 horses from Songshan Daying to Liaodong City to strengthen the guards?" ”

The rest of the generals also agreed with Li Jing, and since Li Jing took everyone out of the customs, he first won the victory of White Wolf City, and then won Liaodong City, which is an indisputable great feat. The Lord will be able to lead everyone to make meritorious deeds, and everyone will naturally believe in him. The next day, Li Jing personally led 10,000 light cavalry, carrying only seven days' dry rations, and went out of the city to the north.

Three hundred miles of road, far is not far but not near, for the hussars carrying two horses, it is even just a day and a night journey.

Li Jing led his troops all the way until the south bank of the Xiaoliao River, when he ordered to halt the advance, and he placed his army in a valley to hide.

"The army should seize the time to rest, and the reconnaissance group will immediately go out to find out the news, and I will know all the movements in the vicinity of the new city for hundreds of miles." Li Jing ordered. Along the way, Li Jing did not advance along the Xiaoliao River from west to east, but went directly to the east, bypassing all the large and small walled cities, in order to surprise and attack them unprepared.

The army rested for a long time, and the scouts came back one by one to report.

They came quickly, and the north bank of the Xiaoliao River didn't know that they had crossed the Liao River and captured Liaodong City, let alone that they had killed the south bank of the Xiaoliao River. Xincheng and Xuansu City were completely defenseless, the city gates were wide open, people and merchants came in and out, and there were still many people cultivating and grazing in the fields. In the detailed report of entering Xincheng, the news of the defeat of the Goguryeo king White Wolf City had reached Xincheng, but only a few officials and clans knew about it, and the ordinary traders and ordinary people did not know much about the battle before and after. The new city is not as direct to the Liao River as Liaodong City, he is still separated from the Liao River by a long distance, the new city is built on the north bank of the Xiao Liao River, the Xiao Liao River and the Liao River communicate, and between the Liao River and the new city, there are Hou Huang City, Hengshan City, Mo Mi City, Mai Gu City, Xuansu City and other cities along the line, it can be said that the new city is now calm, precisely because there is no warning signal back from the Hou Huang Zhucheng. They never imagined that when the king had just captured the Han people's western Liaoxi and the army was on the west bank of the Liao River, the Han people had already knocked down the most important Liaodong city on the east bank of the Liao River, and went directly around the vicinity of the new city from behind.

After listening to the reports of the various scouts, Li Jing carefully inquired about a few details, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"After dark, cross the river and send the new city to the army!" (To be continued......)
