Chapter 1260: Bait
After the victory of Shuangliudu, Liu Yin did not sink into the victory, he ordered people to simply clean up the battlefield, and on the other hand, he ordered the cavalry Tiger Cavalry, White Tiger, and Xuanwu three armies to march eastward immediately, taking the opportunity of pursuing the remnants of Goguryeo, and taking advantage of the situation to march to Xiangping City.

Due to its close proximity to the Liaoshui, the Han army cleaned up the battlefield with great ease, and a large number of corpses that were originally prepared to be buried were thrown into the Liaohe River, down the river, and into the sea.
As for the tiger cavalry and the other three armies, they closely pursued the remnants of Murong Diao and others until they reached the foot of Xiangping City.
Siege is not the cavalry's specialty, Luo Shang and others chased to Xiangping City, did not immediately attack the city, but led the army to besiege the city on all sides, Xiangping City was surrounded by groups, once there were people who fled from the city, the Han army was unceremoniously caught, but became the Han army to learn the news of the city's intelligence officer.
Xiangping is not only the county seat of Liaodong County, but also the old nest of Gongsun Yuan, Gongsun Yuan has the idea of self-establishment as the emperor, so Xiangping City has been built quite perfect for decades, but there is a bit of momentum of the national capital, but it is a pity that Gongsun Yuan failed to rebel that year, and was attacked by Sima Yi Xiangping City, Gongsun Yuan father and son all died in the melee, Xiangping and even the entire Liaodong, ended the secession of the forces for decades, and returned to the control of the Central Plains Dynasty.
However, this control was extremely short-lived, and because the Central Plains fell into the chaotic war of dynastic change, no one could care about the safety of Liaodong County, which fell into the hands of the Goguryeo people.
When Liu Yin arrived at the city of Xiangping, it was only half a day later, and the three cavalry armies had already surrounded the city of Xiangping, and anyone who tried to escape from the city, whether it was a Goguryeo, a Xianbei or a Han, was invited to the army without exception and became a prisoner.
Without Liu Yin's order, the three cavalry troops surrounded Xiangping but did not fight, and after Liu Yin arrived in Xiangping, the guards of each army took the initiative to ask for battle, and they all wanted to be the vanguard of the siege.
Now that the Han army has firearms, a magic weapon for attacking the city, it is quite difficult for any city to hold on, and a small Xiangping city is simply easy to conquer.
However, Liu Yin obviously had no intention of directly attacking the city, but ordered to retreat ten miles and set up camp, but the frame of encircling Xiangping was not convenient, and it was still like an iron bucket, making it difficult for the Goguryeo people to fly.
After setting up camp, it was getting late, and Zhang Le couldn't help complaining: "Xiangping City, which can be solved today, why should it be delayed until tomorrow?" ”
Zhang Le himself was muttering in private, and he was not too close to Liu Yin, but he didn't expect that Liu Yin actually heard his words, smiled, and said to Zhang Le: "Who said that Xiangping City will be attacked tomorrow?" ”
Zhang Le was stunned, the battle was fought to this extent, I heard that the king of Goguryeo, King Michuan, was in Xiangping City, so what are you waiting for, take Xiangping City in one fell swoop, and capture King Michuan alive, that is the right move, Liu Yin not only does not fight today but also does not fight tomorrow, what does this mean, do you want to let Goguryeo King Michuan fail?
Zhang Le looked at Liu Yin and said his question: "Big brother, while the king of Meichuan is in Xiangping City now, take advantage of the situation to take the city, and he will definitely be able to capture or kill the king of Meichuan alive." ”
"And then?" Liu Yin looked at him with a smile.
"And then?" Zhang Le scratched the back of his head and said, "As long as you can catch King Mikawa, the Goguryeo people will collapse on their own, and you can be worried?" ”
Liu Yin smiled slightly and said: "Thirty years ago, the Wei army attacked Goguryeo and occupied the pill capital, they just thought the same thing as you, thinking that the Goguryeo people would not have to worry about it from now on. But only thirty years later, the Goguryeo people made a comeback and brought disaster to Liaodong. It's easy to kill a Mikawa king, but can you guarantee that the Goguryeo people won't have any ugly cheon kings? Once the remnants of the Goguryeo people escaped into the primeval forest of Changbai Mountain, it was not easy to completely annihilate their remnants. ”
Zhang Le suddenly realized, and said: "It turns out that big brother, you didn't fight the siege of Xiangping City, you are going to use it as bait, and you are going to put a long line and catch big fish?" ”
Liu Yin smiled and said: "Second brother, you have finally opened your mind this time, that's right, the current King of Meichuan is a bait, as long as we don't fight Xiangping City, King Meichuan will definitely be anxious, and he will definitely mobilize the people who can be mobilized, we just need to besiege the city and send reinforcements." ”
Besieging the city to send aid can be said to be a relatively successful strategy used by Liu Yin, every time it has been tried and tested, it has won a complete victory, attacking it must be saved, and it is necessary to go out of its way, since the king of Meichuan is still alive, Goguryeo will not give up the rescue operation, Liu Yin is very important to this, and will not fight the siege of Xiangping City, just wait for the Goguryeo army to come to the rescue, and then break through each one.
Therefore, after the battle of Shuangliudu, Liu Yin sent the three cavalry armies to Xiangping at the first time, and surrounded Xiangping City at a lightning speed, with only one purpose, that is, to prevent King Meichuan from escaping.
If the news of the defeat of Shuangliudu reached the ears of King Mikawa, it was inevitable that he would not have any other thoughts, and if King Michuan was afraid of the strength of the Han army, he would probably choose to abandon the city and flee, so that Goguryeo would abandon Liaodong and flee back to the white mountains and black waters.
This was already a common trick of the Goguryeo people, and when they fought against Gongsun's army and Cao Wei's army in the past, they used this strategy of fighting if they could get through and running away if they couldn't, and the enemy would lie dormant when they were strong, waiting for the opportunity to strike again.
Liu Yin believes that at the speed of the three armies, when they surround Xiangping City, it will definitely not be too far away from the news of the defeat of the front line from the king of Meichuan, no matter how shrewd the king of Meichuan is, he will always need some time to react, and when he realizes that the situation is not good, if he wants to escape, there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground.
And to give the order to the three cavalry armies only to surround and not fight, it is also Liu Yin's strategy, besieging the city to help, besieging the city is the means, and sending reinforcements is the goal, unless the surrounding Goguryeo army can do not save the death, otherwise as long as the king of Michuan is controlled, Liu Yin can completely solve the stubborn disease of Goguryeo.
After returning to the camp, the generals strengthened the defense of each battalion and surrounded Xiangping City, making it difficult for the Goguryeo people to fly.
This kind of encirclement is completely loose inside and tight outside, and the main army, basically arranged outside, opened its pockets, and waited for Goguryeo's reinforcements to come and drill.
