Chapter 511

In Youzhou City, the guard Chai Shao can be said to be very leisurely recently. Youzhou was originally located at the junction of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo, and Khitan, but it is no longer the case. There are five cities in Liaodong to the east, and Cheng Yaojin is stationed. Youzhou can be said to be Very peaceful.

Li Chai Shao’s daily task is to inspect the city defense, train soldiers and horses, and at the same time deal with the Khitan trade part-time when there is nothing to do. After all, a large amount of output from the Khitan, Shiwei, and Mohe three countries goes to Youzhou to enter the Tang Dynasty, and you need to State to deploy.

Chai Shao was still inspecting the city defense that day, but he saw a fast horse coming from the east with a banner, and the banner was clearly eight hundred miles away.

I was puzzled, did something happen to the east?

Quickly coming down to the top of the city, Chai Shao intercepted the messenger at the gate of the city. Looking closely, it turned out to be a messenger from Yingzhou, east of Youzhou.

"General, Liaodong is urgent!"

What? ? ?
I thought it was something in Yingzhou, but only when I heard that Liaodong asked Chai Shao for help, I realized that something happened to Lao Cheng.

Quickly took the secret letter and opened it, Chai Shao was shocked.

"The guard of Yingzhou, Lu Pingchuan, reported that a few days ago, a special envoy from Liaodong City came from the east.

Prior to this, Beisha City was in an emergency, and 5 people besieged Beisha City. General Cheng led [-] soldiers from Liaodong to the south to rescue. The next day, Liaodong was attacked by Khitan. When all the jades of the thousand defenders were broken.

After receiving the news, General Lu Pingchuan did not dare to be negligent, and immediately sent messengers to inquire. He wanted to send troops to rescue first, but the scouts traveled eastward for less than 5 miles, and saw an army of [-] people guarding outside Huaiyuan Pass. Look at the banners, there are Khitan and Mohe.

According to this, it can be seen that Liaodong City may have fallen into the enemy's hands. According to what the Liaodong messenger said, General Cheng intended to take away half of the defenders of Anshi City, Jian'an City, and Jili City along the way. Continue to go south, I am afraid the situation in Liaodong is not optimistic.

Therefore, the end will be urgently submitted to the general for decision. "

Chai Shao quickly read the entire sealed letter, and his eyes turned red in an instant. Goguryeo [-], Khitan [-], and Mohe participated in the battle, and Liaodong City fell. This is enough to judge that the situation in Liaodong has been out of control, and Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda may also be alive or dead.

"Come on, make urgent preparations for eight hundred miles in Chang'an, and make urgent preparations for eight hundred miles in Yunzhou.

Lieutenant general, beating drums to raise accounts, first-level combat readiness, and the Youzhou barracks are all ready for battle.

He ordered the Marquis Wu's law enforcement team in the city to arrest all Khitan, Goguryeo, and Mohe people, no matter business travelers or others, and not let anyone go. "

And just when Chai Shao sent a messenger to report, under the city of Beisha, Goguryeo's Yansa Yanshou and the Khitan and Mohe troops had already converged.

Goguryeo sent 11 troops and [-] were killed, Khitan sent [-] troops, and Mohe sent [-] troops to capture the other four cities. The two countries lost [-] troops each.

Under the city of Beisha are 8 people in Goguryeo and 13 people in Khitan Mohe. The [-] troops surrounded Beisha city to death, and Cheng Yaojin couldn't even break through the encirclement.

The remaining [-] Khitan Mohe soldiers and horses were guarding the entrance of Liaodong—Huaiyuan Pass. With [-] garrisons, they were already very strong. There were also a small number of soldiers and horses stationed in the other four cities. They were slaughtered cleanly, and there was no danger.

In the camp of the allied forces, Di Sa Yanshou discussed with Khitan commander Mu Liye and Mohe chief general Agutu.

Muliye's idea is to attack the city, and breaking the city to take talent is the right way, and although Agutu didn't say it clearly, but looking at the greedy eyes, he probably has the same meaning as Muliye.

Ji Sa Yanshou shook his head and said: "No, the enemy has an army of 13 defending the city. Although we have an army of [-], Beisha City is strong. If we want to break it, we may not be able to do it without a loss of [-]. This loss is too great for us to bear. rise."

this……

The other two were also silent. Out of the 13, they had [-] on their side and lost [-]. If the Goguryeo people let Khitan or Mohe take the lead, would the whole army be wiped out?So the two also listened to the persuasion and didn't insist anymore.

"Our purpose is to hold these two people as hostages and exchange envoys with Datang. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need for unnecessary sacrifices. It is time to send someone to deliver a letter to Datang."

Yu Sa Yanshou knew it well, the other two were nothing more than wanting to loot Beisha City to make money, a pair of idiots.

And Goguryeo has already lost 3 people, and if they attack the city again, even if they only lose [-], then this battle will be enough to hurt the muscles and bones, so the gains outweigh the losses.

Seven days later, when Chang'an was celebrating the joy of immortal food, the urgent messenger from Youzhou poured cold water on everyone.

The common people looked at the messenger whistling past, and were puzzled, Youzhou?There has been no war for many years since Wang Junkuo was defeated and Goguryeo was hit. Where did the emergency come from?
Li Er looked at the letter from Chai Shao and the letter from Yingzhou guard Lu Pingchuan. He was so angry that he overturned the dragon case in front of him and cursed: "The Khitan barbarians dare to turn against me and attack Datang? Come on, give me Go to Tianlao and quickly kill the envoys of Khitan, Mohe, and Goguryeo.

Quickly send the pharmacist, Xuanling, Keming, and the auxiliary machine to come. "

Li Jing was on duty at the military headquarters today, so he was the first to come. He was furious when he saw the secret letter, but he was already calculating the situation in his heart, and there was a rescue plan to defeat the enemy.

When the others arrived, Du Ruhui said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the Three Kingdoms will not attack our Tang Dynasty for no reason. If Goguryeo is to recover the five cities in Liaodong, what about Khitan? What about Mohe?
These two countries are impoverished and barbarians. In recent years, they have relied on the Tang Dynasty for a lot of money, so how could they suddenly lean on Goguryeo?

So there must be something strange about this matter. "

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he had a flash of inspiration and said, "Could it be that it has something to do with the envoys of the Three Kingdoms in the prison? Now there are only envoys from the three kingdoms in the prison who have not been redeemed. I wonder if they are not Ransomed?

Now this battle has given the answer. They didn't want to redeem people, but they wanted to take Liaodong, capture Lao Cheng and Lao Niu at the same time, and exchange them for prisoners. "

What? ? ?
The thief is bold!

Li Jing cursed loudly, but Li Er who was next to him felt bad, "Come here, go to the prison quickly, stop slaughtering the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, don't do anything."

As soon as everyone heard this, they knew that His Majesty was angry and wanted to kill people before they came. I hope these people will live well, otherwise Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda will be in danger.

Li Er said in a deep voice: "Pharmacist, the current situation may require you to go there yourself, the land of Liaodong is not necessary, but the army of Youwuwei and the soldiers of Liaodong must be rescued.

Are you sure? "

Li Jing frowned tightly, thinking for a long time, but did not give an answer for a long time, because the situation in Datang is very complicated now, and the troops are scattered, and they are not prepared for a big battle at all. In addition, it is the cold winter just after the New Year, and the big battle is too much. It's tough.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is not at all sure that the right time, place and people are the same as the three. Therefore, I suggest that you can't afford a big war and try to negotiate."
