"When...... Seriously? ”

"It's true, the villain doesn't dare to deceive, but Roda is defeated, and the Tang army has already driven over"

In the mansion of the city lord of Beisha City, Quan Gaihong sat back on the brocade bench and did not catch his breath for a long time

"What is the situation, you say, tell me quickly, Gao Yincheng has 3,000 soldiers and horses, how can he be defeated?" A cronie next to him still couldn't believe what he had just heard, and asked the general who was kneeling in front of him.

"The Tang people are too cunning, our inside information is wrong, and the Tang people have no less than three thousand soldiers and horses, maybe five thousand" The general cried while kowtowing: "Keroda was attacked by the Tang army, first Gao Feng's 500 forwards were all wiped out, and then Keroda was killed in battle. Then more than 1,000 cavalry of the Tang people and 2,000 defenders of Weizizhai flanked us and others, and we only had 1,000 people, and most of them were wounded and sick, so they were really unable to defeat ......"

In order to shirk the responsibility, the strength of the Tang people in his mouth was exaggerated several times, in fact, Nan Jiyun took Gao Yincheng's first achievement and drove the defeated soldiers to the front of Weizi Village, and they immediately abandoned the camp and fled, not knowing how many troops Nan Jiyun had. It's just that in the process of escaping, he was chased by Nan Jiyun three times, fought three times, and only three of the ten stops escaped back to Beisha City, and the rest of the people were either killed and captured, or hid in the mountains and forests and wilderness, and did not dare to appear at all.

"Five thousand...... Five thousand ......"

Hearing this number, everyone's faces changed.

What the five thousand Tang troops meant, they all understood: after more than forty years of withdrawal from here, the Tang Dynasty was finally returning to Liaodong.

"It's okay, it's okay, if it's freezing today, the seaway is frozen, and Datang is only these 5,000 people at most......" One person muttered to himself: "They just want to send out a large army, and they have to wait for the beginning of spring." Moreover, if the Tang Dynasty wants to go eastward, it must make a big show and prepare in Dengzhou, but we have not heard of Dengzhou building ships and hoarding grain......"

Because of their business relationship with Datang, they have some understanding of the situation in Dengzhou, Shandong. However, these words did not put everyone at ease, even if Datang still had to prepare for two or three years before it really went east, it always had to go east......

"The Eastern Crusade is absolutely impossible, if it is the Eastern Crusade, it should be the Anton Protector first, but now the Anton Protector is fighting with the Khitans"

"Exactly, exactly"

After being frightened for a while, everyone began to extricate themselves, but everyone understood in their hearts that the difference between a big country and a small country is that a big country has an almost infinite heritage.

And even if there are no other cards, with only these 5,000 soldiers and horses, Beisha City is in danger.

"It's okay, everyone, don't be shocked, Datang has made enemies everywhere, and it is impossible to go all out to the east. It's just that these 5,000 people, we can't help our Beisha City, don't forget how much suffering they suffered under Beisha City decades ago, when the Tang Dynasty came to attack," Quan Gaihong said again.

Everyone nodded, but what they thought in their hearts was another matter. At the beginning, the Tang Dynasty did suffer a lot under the city of Beisha, but at that time, the opponent of the Tang Dynasty was the Goguryeo Kingdom, with a population of three million and hundreds of thousands of armor, but now the city of Beisha is controlled by Quan Gaihong, and the population that is really under control is not necessarily 40,000, as for the military strength......

Quan Gaihong's biggest headache now is military strength.

Naturally, he could immediately recruit all the young men around Beisha City to prepare for a big battle, but it was doubtful how effective the temporary sergeants would be. What's more, he had already mobilized once in the previous preparation for the expedition to the capital, and now he is mobilized, which means that even the old and weak will have to go into battle. After all, although the land under his rule is extensive, the population that really lives in Beisha City is only more than 10,000.

"This defeat ......" Quan Gaihong was about to boost his morale again, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and his heart sank, and then he heard footsteps.

"What?"

"Thorn History, Takamatsu Obichi Headquarters of Aoniura left"

This news made Quan Gaihong's brows suddenly erect: "Vertical son dares"

Takamatsu of Qingnipo can be said to be one of the most active people in this southern expedition, but when the army was launched, considering that he was closest to the capital, Quan Gaihong was unwilling to make a wedding dress for him, and let his troops be the rear, and now he is stationed in Beisha Castle. At this time, he withdrew his troops without reporting, which only meant one thing, and he had already learned the news of the defeat at the front

And if he takes the lead, then the rest of the troops will follow and leave, and the troops that are still gathered in Beisha City will be scattered in the blink of an eye

"Someone, pass my order, take Takamatsu's first achievement," he shouted.

"Thorn history, don't do it, don't do it" Hearing his order, there was a sudden chaos at the bottom, and someone got up and said: "It's not appropriate to make more enemies at this time, don't say that you can't kill Gao Song, even if you kill it, Gao Song has his own heirs, and the history of the assassin is pushing Gao Song to the Tang people."

"Gao Song's rebellion has been revealed, even if he doesn't kill him, he will also go to the Tang people" Quan Gaihong sneered: "It's better to kill him and join his subordinates"

Speaking of this, he waved his hand and said sharply: "I have made up my mind, and the blocker is guilty of the same crime as Takamatsu."

"In"

"You and ...... Together with Luo Jiuhe, go to get Takamatsu's first achievement."

"Yes"

Quan Li is his confidant, and the Han army in Luo Jiuhe's hands is the largest army he can use at present. After the two went out, Quan Li glanced at Luo Jiuhe, and said secretly in his heart: "The assassin made me and Luo Jiuhe together, I'm afraid that Luo Jiuhe is also suspicious, after all, there are Han people over there, and Luo Jiuhe is a Han general, and he is a Han army in his hands...... That being the case, I'm going to keep an eye on this guy. Since Gao Yincheng is dead, I am the first general under the command of Assassin Shi, who is this man, and he can be ranked with me? ”

Luo Jiuhe looked as usual, they gathered their soldiers and horses, chased in the direction of Qingnipu, chased for two miles, and did not see Gao Songbu's figure, but on the side of the road, kneeling a few people.

"Who are you waiting for?" Quan Li stepped forward and asked.

"The villain and the others are the people of this city, and the villain and the others are waiting for the general here." The man presented a piece of paper: "He left a letter, and now he gives it to the general." ”

The man presented the letter, and a soldier took it and handed it to Luo Jiuhe, Quan Li coughed: "Show it to me."

Luo Jiuhe silently handed over the letter to him, Quan Li took a look at it, and then became furious: "Dog thief, dare to do this"

He didn't hand over the letter to Luo Jiuhe, and went straight into his arms: "Let's chase it"

"Tong Mu Ding, your ...... Does it really work? Takamatsu asked with a hesitant expression as he craned his neck so that the knife-like north wind would not freeze his ears.

"Naturally useful, now that Gao Yin is defeated, whether he is alive or dead, the only thing that Quan Gaihong can use in his hands is Luo Jiuhe's Han army, so if someone comes to chase, it must be Luo Jiuhe. My letter is a divisive plan, as long as Luo Jiuhe sees it, he will definitely not pursue it with all his might" Tong Mou Ding said confidently.

"What if he's still chasing after him with all his might?"

"That's why I asked Ming Gong to leave quickly, as long as we get out of the boundary of Beisha City—no, as long as we walk out of twenty miles, they won't dare to chase after us. You must know that since Gao Yincheng's defeated army has arrived, it means that the forward of the Tang people is not far away, and as soon as we leave, the rest of the troops will disperse, how dare Quan Gaihong let Luo Jiuhe go

As Mou Ding expected, although Quan Li still wanted to chase after him, he only chased ten miles after him, and a horse chased after him, bringing Quan Gaihong's new order, so that they could quickly return to Beisha City.

After returning to Beisha City, Quan Li glanced at Luo Jiuhe again, thinking that the pursuit had not been successful, he smiled and said, "General Luo, this trip has been hard. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, General Quan is hard."

"Let's go to see the assassin, don't let the assassin wait for a long time."

His words made Luo Jiuhe feel that something was wrong, but what if it felt wrong?

The two of them went inside to report the pursuit, and then Quan Li handed the letter to Quan Gaihong, who looked strange after reading it: "What a traitor, really rebellious...... But let him go for the time being, I got the news that the vanguard of the Tang Army had appeared ten miles away."

Luo Jiuhe was thinking about what might be in the letter, and when he heard the news, he immediately took a breath of cold air: "It's ...... So fast."

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have called you back." Quan Gaihong gritted his teeth and said: "This Tang man is really greedy enough, and he even dares to come to my realm, and now I am short of troops, how to defend the city, you have a clever plan."

Luo Jiuhe was about to speak, but Quan Li next to him rushed to say: "But it is determined by the history of assassination."

"Since this is the case, Tang Dog came from the south, but now it seems that Ye Chang is cunning, and he must be prepared to send an army to make a detour to the north of the city...... Luo Jiuhe, how about you lead 300 people to guard the north of the city and send more scouts? ”

Luo Jiuhe's heart sank.

The total number of Han troops was about 1,000, and they were originally under his command, and their equipment and military salaries were not as good as those of the Goguryeo Department under the command of Gao Yincheng. Now it can be said that the Han army has become the most important force in Beisha City, and Quan Gaihong took seventy percent of his troops with a single sentence.

However, he did not dare to object, he knew in his heart that his position was very awkward at this time, just as he was not allowed to go when he went on the expedition before, and the guards, the most critical south and east, would not be handed over to him at this time.

"Yes," he was silent for a short time, and then replied.

"Okay, you are my confidant, with you, we don't have to worry about it. The Tang army will not be able to come from afar, and it will be freezing cold, if they stay outside Beisha City for a long time and their sharp energy is exhausted, we can counterattack, and then we will have to rely on your bravery. ”

"Yes"

Luo Jiuhe answered again.

When Quan Gaihong assigned the precautionary task, on the mountain a few miles south of the city, Nan Jiyun held a telescope and looked at Beisha City from afar.

Beisha City is a mountain city, located on the top of the Great Black Mountain, although the mountain is not high, but it is very dangerous, it is not easy to storm down.

"It's really a husband and a wife, and there is almost no difference between it and the cities we saw in Longyou." Nan Jiyun was secretly worried in his heart: "If you really want to attack this city, it is impossible without tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."

Even tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are difficult, because the troops can't be spread out at all when attacking the city, and Emperor Taizong sent Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yunguo, to break through the city, and I don't know how to act......

After thinking about it for a while, Nan Jiyun couldn't think of a solution, and judging from the stockade outside the city, Beisha City was prepared to implement the strong wall clearing, and now he only had less than three hundred cavalry in his hands, even if he wanted to destroy the other party's intention to destroy the other party's strong wall and clear the field, it was very difficult. Therefore, the only option was to abandon the plan of the raid and return to the army.

This made Nan Jiyun, who had won several battles in a row, somewhat unpleasant.

After winning the battle of Phoenix Mountain, Ye Chang recruited the militia again, this time the participants were more enthusiastic, and it can even be said that the vast majority of Han people of appropriate age are young and strong, and they have become regimental training.

Lushun regimental training is the new name that Ye Chang gave to this unit, after this recruitment, Ye Chang's regimental training has reached 4,000 people, except for leaving 500 people to guard Duli and Lushun, the rest of the manpower are all on the expedition. The ordnance left behind by Gao Yincheng's troops armed them so that they would not even have weapons.

In addition, Ye Chang also gave orders to various villages north of Weizi Village, ordering them to supply grain, grass, and people. Originally, these villages did not obey Lushun, but were controlled by the remote control of Qingnipu or Beisha City, but now time has changed.

At the three-way junction more than 20 miles away from Beisha City, Nan Jiyun and Ye Chang's main force met, at this time Ye Chang had already set up camp, and outside the camp, there were some people in various costumes trembling in the wind.

"What's going on with those people?" Nan Jiyun asked as he led his horse into the camp.

"The people sent by the nearby village did not send grain and grass, and they were ordered to wait outside when they joined the army." The guard smiled: "These wall grasses were very attentive when they supported Gao Yincheng, but now that we are here, there is no food and grass - we should let them drink more northwest wind."

Nan Jiyun also laughed.

However, when he entered Ye Chang's big tent, he saw an acquaintance sitting on top of the maza, and when he came in, the acquaintance hurriedly got up and saluted: "General Nan"

"Clamp Mouding?" Nan Jiyun was a little surprised: "You are not in Beisha City, how can you be here?" ”

"How can a certain person be in Beisha City" Tong Mu Ding said with a smile: "A certain and a certain Ming Mansion are loyal to the imperial court, how can they be with the traitors in Beisha City." Previously, because the traitor was powerful, he was just a hypocrisy, but in fact, my lord was ...... It's ......"

He thought for a while, and suddenly a sentence "The heart is in Cao Ying, and the body is in Han" came out, Nan Jiyun was stunned, and Ye Chang also laughed.

"This is a sentence in "Embroidered Statue of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is about Guan Yunchang'......" Tong Mou Ding explained

Nan Jiyun suddenly smiled: "So that you can know that this book was written by my family who joined the army, and the original sentence should be in Cao Ying's heart in Han - I never thought that you, a remote place in eastern Liaodong, would have this book circulating."

Tong Mu Ding was almost stunned for a moment, he turned to Ye Chang, and then bowed to the ground, not to mention that he said sincerely: "Wilderness savage, now in service, I don't want Ye to join the army to be such a talented person, no wonder breaking Gao Yin Cheng is like capturing a three-year-old child."

"Okay, gossip aside, I know what your purpose is for coming this time, but I also know what Qingnipu has done before." Ye Chang smiled and waved his hand, and said solemnly: "I just want to ask, does Gao Song want to die or live, whether he wants to be prosperous and rich, or whether he wants to be wiped out."
