The rain seemed to bring good luck to the Tang army, and the army rested in Liaoyang City for three days, and Goguryeo reinforcements arrived at night and raided Liaoyang City at night, only to be annihilated by Li Tai, who had been prepared for it.

The 40,000 Tang troops stationed inside and outside the city were ambushed, and the 50,000 reinforcements were defeated again and again, and finally fled 20,000 horses and horses, giving up the plan to counterattack Liaoyang City.

At the suggestion of Li Shiji, Li Tai took advantage of the victory to pursue, taking advantage of the grass, the morale of the Tang army increased greatly, and the momentum was like splitting bamboo, and it was unstoppable, and successively captured the two cities of Baiyan and Gaimu, and approached the fortress of the captives.

At this time, it was already half June, and the weather was the hottest at the end of summer, in order to recuperate, Li Tai ordered Li Shiji's army to rest in Gaimu City, and wait for Zhang Liang, Li Daozong and other generals to lead troops to come to rendezvous, gather troops, and directly break through the last defense line of Goguryeo - Anshi City.

However, what came before the reinforcements was the express news from the imperial court - the emperor sent the eldest grandson Wuji to command 50,000 troops to come to support, so that the prince should not be impatient in everything and listen to the words of Zhao Gong.

In the temporarily reconstructed conference hall, Li Tai took the edict from the messenger, looked at the bright red seal on it, his fingers couldn't help but increase the force, and the joints protruded.

There was a whisper below, and everyone was talking, all speculating about the emperor's intentions in their hearts, and in the limelight of the prince, he sent the eldest grandson's uncle, who was at odds with the prince, to bring troops to support, and told the prince to listen to him more, what does this mean?

When Yi Yu saw this edict from Li Tai's hand, she also had such questions in her heart, but she asked Li Tai more directly: "Obviously, the emperor is dividing your military power, but he sent the eldest grandson Wuji at this juncture, so he is not afraid that the army will be in turmoil and affect the next battle?" ”

As long as Anseong City is breached, the Goguryeo Kingdom will be a lamb to be slaughtered, which shows the importance of this battle.

Li Tai shook his head, he was also puzzled, he could be sure that his father was determined to destroy the Goguryeo Kingdom, but now he sent the eldest grandson Wuji to lead troops to divide his military power, and the pros and cons were offset, which was really redundant.

Although my father is no longer as wise as he used to be since he fell seriously ill four years ago, he will not be confused about this.

"What does the emperor think!" Yu Yu threw the edict on the table in frustration.

Li Tai approached the table, opened the rolled up map, found the location of the marked Gaimu City and Anshi City on it, pointed his finger at the top, and slowly analyzed: "It takes four days to travel from here to Anshi, Zhang Liang and Li Daozong will bring troops to meet me the day after tomorrow at the latest, they have little grain and grass left, about 100,000 soldiers and horses, a few days ago captured Liaoyang, Baiyan, Gaimu three cities, and obtained more than 300,000 stones of grain and grass, which can be eaten for them for three months, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses brought by the eldest grandson Wuji have arrived here, at least wait for half a month, and collect 200,000 soldiers and horses." Yesterday, when I came back from the report, there were only 60,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Anshi City, and Goguryeo would definitely send additional reinforcements, if the city could not be captured within a month, the odds of victory would be reduced by three percent, and after the reinforcements came, if the city could not be attacked in two months, it would be late autumn at that time, the grass would be dry and frozen, and the grain and grass would be insufficient——"

The army of the Tang Dynasty can also return to the dynasty, and this battle is no longer fought.

Yi Yu knew what the last sentence of Li Tai's break was, the arrival of the eldest grandson Wuji, on the surface, was to increase the bargaining chips for conquering Anshi City in one fell swoop, but the restrictions on grain and grass made every day extremely important, waiting for the eldest grandson Wuji for one more day, and the 150,000 army was the burden of nearly 10,000 grains and grass.

In comparison, the effect brought by the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the eldest grandson Wuji is completely chicken.

"How are you going to do it?" Leave the jade sorrowful.

Li Tai's finger knocked heavily on the city of Anshi marked by the cinnabar on the map, and said in a deep voice: "Don't wait for him, as soon as Zhang Liang and Li Daozong's army arrive, they will besiege Anshi first." ”

They had to deal with not only the defenders, but also a large number of reinforcements on the way, first to control the people, and then to be controlled by others.

Zhang Liang and Li Daozong came to Gaimu City with 100,000 soldiers and horses in the evening of the next day, and the three armies converged.

When Yi Yu heard that Lu Jun was under Zhang Liang, she couldn't help but want to take a look at him, you must know that the brother and sister haven't seen each other for nearly half a year, but she is now sensitive and not easy to be violent.

"The two sons are the vanguard, brave and fierce in the army, and have helped General Zhang conquer two cities, it is said that the two sons of these battles, won nearly a thousand enemy levels, and were given a 'thousand people beheaded' nickname, subordinates, wait for the army to return to the dynasty triumphantly, the second son has enough qualifications, and the addition of officials is just around the corner."

"And how is he doing, has he ever been seriously injured?"

"My subordinates saw the second son in the council hall just now, and I saw that he was in good health, and there was nothing wrong with him."

"That's good." Compared with what is added to the rank of knight, saving a life is the most important, Yi Yu was relieved of Lu Jun, remembering what he had discussed with Li Tai at noon, so he said to Ah Sheng: "I am going to the wounded barracks to find Dr. Xiao, do you want to go with me?" ”

"My subordinates will accompany you."

Ah Sheng's current responsibilities have almost completely become Yu Yu's follower, wherever she goes, he will follow her, even if there is something important, he will keep in mind Li Tai's instructions and will not let her be left alone.

Now that the three armies have converged, although the barracks are heavily defended, it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of fish and dragons, and there will be people who are suspicious.

In the past few months, in the wounded barracks of Li Shiji's army, there is no one who doesn't know that there is a little fat man next to the prince, and he likes to come to their west camp to help.

As soon as Yi Yu walked into the wounded barracks, someone greeted her warmly: "Yo, the little fat brother is here." ”

"Little fat brother, why didn't you come to join us tonight?"

"If you're hungry, you'll eat first, Brother Xiao, I'll discuss something with him," Yi Yu nodded and said hello to this group of soldiers with missing arms and broken tuǐ with a kind face, and when he heard where Xiao Han was, he took Ah Sheng over to find someone.

Xiao Han was nesting under a pergola, according to the herb improvement prescription that Yu Yu gave him yesterday, he buried himself in dispensing medicine, and heard the soldiers guarding outside shouting a report, and waved his hand at Yu Yu without looking back, and said, "You sit casually first, and I'll talk to you when I'm done with this." ”

"Don't be busy yet, I have something important to discuss with you, and it's not too late to match this herb later." Yi Yu picked a bench in the pergola and sat down, and motioned to Ah Sheng to drive all the people around the pergola away.

Xiao Han reluctantly stopped pounding the medicine, pressed the recipe with a pebble, turned his head and said suspiciously: "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing that it was quiet, Yi Yu asked, "How much grass is still collected from Liaoyang City?" ”

Xiao Hanmian 1ù is a pity, "It's almost used, at most it can last another battle." ”

Yi Yu recognized Xiao Han's character, and through Li Tai, he handed over the important task of mixing the grass juice to Xiao Han to do, so the rest of the grass was not as clear as Xiao Han alone.

Yi Yu estimated the number, leaned forward a little, and lowered his voice: "Brother Xiao, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered me to order you, tomorrow morning, you go to prepare two jars of grass juice, and use up the rest of the grass, one tank will be put according to the original amount, and one tank will be replaced with Coptis juice similar to Yan Sè, really obey the order, and keep the fake one for backup, as long as the soldiers believe that it is the grass juice, you can also drum up a battle at a critical time." ”

Xiao Han listened to Yi Yu's words, his face went from puzzled to surprised, and finally stopped on a crying and laughing expression, and he also stepped forward and whispered: "Isn't this a pit person!" ”

"How can this be called a pit man?" Yi Yu looked upright, and took out a waist card from his sleeve and threw it to Xiao Han, "If you don't do it, if you don't do it, you will disobey the military order, I will have people arrest you now and hang you on the tree outside." ”

Xiao Han bared his teeth and took the waist card, and after identifying it, he immediately put on a serious face, "How dare I disobey the orders of the Grand Overseer." ”

Yi Yu nodded, stood up and took away the waist card in his hand, "Then I'll go, you must do this well, after the matter is completed, I will ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a reward, and let you be a doctor in the palace in the future, and live a stable life for the rest of your life." ”

Xiao Han waved his hand and thanked Bumin, "Excuse me, I'm a rough person, that is, I know how to use two-handed medical skills, and when I get to the palace, I don't know how to restrain my hands and feet." ”

"Then reward you with some gold and silver, and let you go back and eat big fish and meat."

"Haha, that's not far off."

As soon as Yi Yu left, Xiao Han lowered his face again, grabbed the new beard on his chin and said depressedly: "You want me to do this immoral thing, alas." ”

The 100,000 troops brought by Zhang Liang and Li Daozong rested in Gaimu City for a day and a night, and the next morning they set off on the road to Anshi City.

Li Tai sent Lu Jun with 8,000 elite soldiers to go first, open the way ahead, and kill the captives and horses who were ambushed on the road.

Four days later, the imposing Tang army directly besieged Anshi City, and 100,000 soldiers and horses were arranged for three miles.

Anseong Fortress is located in a special location, hanging on an earthen cliff, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is said that the strongest defense army of the Goguryeo people gathered here.

On the day of arrival, the Tang army called for battle in front of the city gate of Anshi.

The Goguryeo people standing on the city wall shouted insults when they saw the Tang army coming, but they did not fight, and closed the gates of the city.

The Tang army near the city was furious, but the city of Anshi was protected by a natural barrier, and a three-story high earth slope was difficult to cross, and it was not easy for people to climb, let alone transport siege equipment up.

Li Tai had long heard of the layout of the city, and only after seeing it with his own eyes did he know that this battle was not easy, so he ordered the army to camp three miles outside the city first.
