Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 456
At the time of the new year, the people in Chang'an are preparing to celebrate the new year, but the people in Youzhou heard that the Turks are coming south from Tanzhou and are looting Miyun.

The general manager Luo Yi immediately ordered the general Xue Wanjun to lead five thousand elite soldiers to help Miyun.

If it weren't for Dou Jiande's constraints before, Luo Yi would have been able to beat the salt dealer to the ground, and now Turkic also wants to touch himself, can this be tolerated?
Xue Wanjun encountered Turkic cavalry in the west of Miyun, and the two sides fought hand-to-hand.

People neighed and horses roared, after all, it was Xue Wanjun who occupied the home field better and repelled the Turkic cavalry.

However, before he could catch his breath, he got the news of Lu Chengsi joining the army.Gao Kaidao sent general Zhang Jinshu to take advantage of the fire to loot and attack Yongnu.

"My brother is over there, don't worry about joining the army."

In the field, Xue Wanjun sat in the snow and called the soldiers to bury pots and make food.

Lu Chengsi said thoughtfully: "The Turkic entrenched in the north of Youzhou is the Turkic Khan Shibobi. He brought the Xi people to the south to plunder this time. I'm afraid he had to come here because the cattle and sheep froze to death in the cold weather. Grab food."

"What's so strange?" Xue Wanjun laughed and said, "It's like this every year. The Turks will never be destroyed, and Youzhou will never be safe."

"General Xue is heroic." Lu Chengsi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and sighed, "It's a pity that with the strength of Youzhou alone, we can't defeat Shi Bobi and Xi Ren."

Xue Wanjun was silent for a while, and said: "There is still the court, don't worry about joining the army."

"Does General Xue really think that the imperial court will send troops to help Luo Yi?" Lu Chengsi said with a sneer.

"What do you mean?" Xue Wanjun wiped his sword.

Lu Chengsi said: "General Xue, can't you see that the imperial court never sent a single soldier to Youzhou, and only gave a small amount of food. It was obviously just to let the Youzhou army intercept Gao Kaidao. So in my opinion, the imperial court They will not send soldiers and horses to help Youzhou eliminate Xiren."

Xue Wanjun remained silent, neither agreeing nor opposing.

The brothers have already secretly pledged their allegiance to the new prince of Chang'an, and they don't care what will happen to Youzhou in the future.

"Joining the army said these things, aren't you afraid that I will tell the general manager?"

"Don't be afraid." Lu Chengsi said: "If I die, Luo Yi's fate will not be much better. The world has already belonged to the Tang Dynasty, but some people are still overwhelmed, and they will eventually turn into a handful of dust."

Xue Wanjun glanced at him, looking at the wind and rain in the sky, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

"It's snowing a lot. Turks will die a lot of cattle and sheep this year. It looks like I'll have to stay in Miyun for a while."

Lu Chengsi said with his hands behind his back: "The manager asked me to assist the general in resisting the Turks, and I hope the general can give me some advice."

"nature."

Yong Nu.

"kill!"

Xue Wanche's horse spun around, treading snow to chase and kill, and rode back and forth among the rebellious army, raising a knife in his hand and dropping it, the blood of the enemy army burst out, and the scorching air permeated the air.

Under Xue Wanche's example in killing the enemy, the morale of the Youzhou army was high, and they chased and killed the troops led by Zhang Jinshu all the way.

"Xue Wanche!" Zhang Jinshu cursed angrily, looking helpless at Xue Wanche who wantonly slaughtered his brother.

Youzhou elite soldiers are stronger than his soldiers.

Previously, the reason why Luo Yi was able to take advantage of Luo Yi was mainly because of the food shortage in Youzhou, but now it is no longer possible. They took a breather and immediately revealed their true colors.

Zhang Jinshu also doesn't understand what Gao Kaidao is planning. Does he still want to use the power of one place to fight against the whole world?
"withdraw!"

When the military order was issued, Zhang Jinshu led his army to flee far away.

Seeing this, Xue Wanche rode his horse and laughed wildly.

"Brothers, have you seen it, Mighty!"

"mighty!"

The Youzhou army roared.

Zhang Jinshu fled for more than an hour, and after confirming that there were no pursuers from Youzhou, he asked the remaining brothers to dismount and rest.

He walked to the frozen river alone, looked at the silver land, and cursed Gao Kaidao countless times in his heart.

When he rebelled back then, it was because he had no food to eat.Now that the world is gradually being unified by Li Tang, it is obvious that Gao Kaidao is unlikely to stand up again, and he also begins to resent the daily confrontation with Youzhou.

He couldn't figure it out, Li Tang was not Yang Sui, wouldn't it be good to surrender to Li Tang?
Even if there are no high-ranking officials and rich salary, it is better than fighting life and death in Liaodong every day.

"General, there are [-] people left." The deputy general came to him and told him.

Zhang Jinshu nodded and asked: "Shitou, you said when we continue fighting like this, when will it be considered as the end?"

The lieutenant bit his lip and said, "The last general doesn't know either."

"I really don't know what my lord is thinking. With us in Liaodong, how can we be the opponent of Youzhou, not to mention that there is a Tang Dynasty behind Youzhou." Zhang Jinshu sighed.

The lieutenant general looked around and said in a low voice: "General, I heard that my lord seems to be trying to find a way to contact Goguryeo."

what?
"you sure?"

"I heard about it." The lieutenant general said: "A few days ago, the last general had a drink with some brothers. They said that some Goguryeo people came to the lord's mansion, and they couldn't understand what they were saying."

Zhang Jinshu gasped, "He cooperated with Khitan, and now he wants to cooperate with Goguryeo?"

"I don't know about the last general, I just heard that it is so."

"Stupid!" Zhang Jinshu scolded: "With the support of the Turkic people, he can't win the world. What can the Goguryeo people do? They go to the doctor in a hurry!"

Now, Zhang Jinshu is increasingly worried about the future of Youzhou.

While the two of them were talking, Gao Kaidao, who was far away in Lulong, was meeting several envoys from Goguryeo.

Gao Kaidao himself also has self-knowledge. He wants to establish a foothold in Liaodong. First, he wants to unite with Khitan Turks and even Xiren. Second, he wants to unite with Goguryeo to deal with Deng Hao, the governor of Yingzhou.

The brazier was burning, and the Goguryeo envoy said solemnly: "We can help the king to establish a dynasty in Liaodong, but in exchange, you have to help Lord Mo Lizhi rule Goguryeo!"

Mo Lizhi is the title of the Prime Minister of Goguryeo.

Gao Kaidao asked back: "Isn't your Mo Lizhi Ulchi Wende? I heard that he has a stable position in Goguryeo. Why do you need me to help him?"

The envoy's face turned cold, "Ulji Wende is not worthy to be our Mo Lizhi, the successor identified by the predecessor Mo Lizhi is Lord Yuangai Suwen, not Ulji Wende, he is a despicable and shameless villain!"

"I don't care about your situation, I just ask you, how many soldiers and horses can you give me?"

The messenger said: "Ten thousand!"

"Ten thousand?" Gao Kai said with a smile.

There's not enough people for this guy.

Seemingly seeing that Gao Kaidao was disdainful, the emissary said: "Our [-] army is enough to withstand a million Han people! Your emperor of the Sui Dynasty sent a million troops to attack us, but they all came back defeated, don't you know?"

This is said with confidence.

But Gao Kaidao dismissed it, "Ten thousand is too little, at least fifty thousand, and I need one hundred thousand shi of grain."

The envoy said angrily, "Don't push yourself too far!"

This conversation broke up unhappy.

From Gao Kaidao's point of view, without [-] people, he couldn't stop Li Tang's attack.And Goguryeo couldn't give him so many people, so why did he cooperate with Goguryeo?

Only for the solidarity of the 'Eastern Master' in one place in Goguryeo?

During these years in Liaodong, he also knew a little about the internal situation of Goguryeo.

After Yuan Taejo's death, King Goguryeo took the opportunity to hand over the position of Mo Lizhi to Eulji Mundeok.However, Yuan Taizuo's favorite successor, his eldest son Yuan Gai Suwen, did not inherit his position.

Today, Yuangai Suwen is entrenched in the north of Koguryo, and he calls himself the "Master of the East", but in fact he is just like him, a local separatist warlord.

He's out of his mind and wants their verbal support.What he wants are real benefits!

The Lord of the East is the title of the leader of the Goguryeo tribe.When Yeon Tae-jo was alive, he was the 'Master of the East' in the north of Goguryeo, and he was also Mo Lizhi of Goguryeo.
