Dajin royal family

Chapter 437 Fighting Gao Lie (thanks to Pangu Xiyue for the reward)

In April of the first year of King Zhao, Boling County, Xindu County, Xiangguo County, Wu'an County, Zhao County, and Hejian County were pacified one after another.

Pei Yuanyan was ordered by Jiang Chengxiao to lead his army south to Weijun.

Yu Chijing led his troops to Leshou to wait for orders, and Li Yaoshi stationed in Jingcheng.

After Liu Jianhan, Wang Xuba, and Lu Mingyue were wiped out successively, only Gao Lie remained in Hebei.

"Your Majesty, according to the news from the scouts, Gao Lie stationed [-] troops in Gonggao, Pingyuan County, [-] troops in Nanpi, Bohai County, and [-] troops in Qingchi."

Pharmacist Li pointed at the locations of the two cities on the Kanyu map with a small wooden pole, and analyzed Gao Lie's deployment of troops.

Jiang Chengxiao pondered slightly, "Gu feels that Gao Lie must now know that Gu's target is him. The garrison in Pingyuan County is to resist General Yuchijing, and the garrison in Bohai County is to resist General Li."

"Wang Shang Ming Jian."

"What does General Li think?"

Li Yaoshi clasped his hands and said, "The general thought that Gao Lie must value Bohai County more than Pingyuan County, so we will go both ways, and Gao Lie will definitely let the troops stationed in Pingyuan County return to defense, then we can gradually eat away at Gao Lie. strong."

Pharmacist Li's method highlights the word 'stable'.

"However, the general is worried that Li Fazhu will secretly help Gao Lie behind his back." Li Yaoshi expressed his guess.

Jiang Chengxiao chuckled, "Don't worry about it. Master Li is not free now. I just got the news. He fought fiercely with Yu Wenshu in the Central Plains, and Qingzhou is not united. This is a good time for us to attack Gao Lie. The soldiers are precious and fast. Be sure to calm down Gao Lie quickly!"

"The last will obey!"

The next day, the army set out and marched in parallel. Yu Chijing led his army south from Leshou to attack Gonggao.Li Yaoshi led his army to attack Nanpi.

If you don't fight Qingchi, it is because Gao Lie's three garrisons are in a line, and Nanpi and Gonggao are adjacent to each other. As a result, both places are under attack and it is impossible to rescue each other.

This is exactly the case, two days later a war broke out between the two sides, and Gao Lie received a message from Nan Pi and Gong Gao asking for help.

He immediately ordered the general to lead an army to help Nanpi. In his opinion, as long as the siege of Nanpi can be solved, the Northern Jin army attacking Gonggao will retreat without a fight.

But what he never expected was that General Gonggao did not persist until his siege of Nanpi was lifted. After Yu Chijing captured Gonggao, Gao Lie's troops in Pingyuan County retreated and fled to Huzhou. Su.

Yu Chijing occupied Dongguang, waiting for the next order.

In Nanpi, Jiang Chengxiao led cavalry to attack the rear of Gao Lie's army, won a complete victory, and won Nanpi soon.

With Nanpi taken down, Jiang Chengxiao immediately led his army to attack Rao'an and cut off the supply line of Husu Gaolie's army. After receiving the news, Yuchijing stormed Husu and wiped out Gaolie's troops stationed in Pingyuan County. The situation in Pingyuan County took a turn for the worse. Into the hands of the Northern Jin army.

After taking down Husu, Yu Chijing ordered Wei Zhongxuan to lead an army of [-] Black Eagles to raid Leling day and night.

Leling was between Yangxin and Rao'an, and the purpose of marching this way was to cut off Gao Lie's connection with Rao'an and cut off their logistical supplies.

The cavalry of the Northern Jin Army was highly mobile and moved extremely fast. In addition, Hebei was full of plains, so they could gallop all the way without obstacles. They attacked several Gao Lie army's material troops in three days, and Rao'an became an isolated city.

But Gao Lie didn't do nothing, he ordered Qingchi's army to go south to attack the Northern Jin army, but Jiang Chengxiao didn't expect that he was waiting for Qingchi's army instead of rushing to attack after the army surrounded Rao'an.

Upon receiving the news of the Qingchi army's attack, the Northern Jin army quickly intercepted and defeated the Qingchi army, causing them to retreat to Wudi.

At this time, something that Gao Lie never expected happened. Yu Chijing led the army to skip Leling and directly attack the capital Yangxin.

Since the [-] troops were backlogged in Rao'an, Gao Lie didn't expect this, so when Yu Chijing led the army to appear in Yangxin, he issued twelve imperial decrees in succession, ordering the troops stationed in Rao'an to come back immediately.

The next day, Rao'an's army desperately broke through and headed south.

Jiang Chengxiao was not in a hurry to stop it, because he knew why Rao An's army went south so quickly, so while sending an eagle letter to let Yu Chijing retreat, he led the army to take down Rao'an and Leling without haste, and the army came to Linyang Xin.

With the reunion of Yu Chijing and Li Yaoshi, the strength of the Northern Jin army reached [-].

Among them, [-]% of the soldiers are reorganized soldiers.

"Is that Yang Xin? It seems that Gao Lie has put his mind to it."

Jiang Chengxiao rode on the horse and looked ahead, only to see a big city standing majestically.

Li Yaoshi on the side cupped his hands and said: "Han Su has already led the army to wipe out the surrounding areas. Now Yangxin is just an isolated city. When will the king plan to attack?"

"Courtesy first, military service later, it depends on whether Gao Lie is willing to be a smart person."

Jiang Chengxiao breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Yang Xin, the Imperial Palace.

Gao Lie's face seemed haggard, and he knelt on the throne with disheveled hair, looking at the courtiers in the hall.

"My dear friends, the Northern Jin army is approaching the city, what strategy do you have to defeat the enemy?"

Many courtiers were ashamed, what strategy could they have to defeat the enemy?
If the Northern Jin army were willing to make peace, they would have made peace long ago. They came here to destroy them.

Furthermore, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and there are only them left in Hebei. How could the Northern Jin army let them go.

Thinking back to Wang Xuba's envoy that day, many courtiers secretly regretted it. If they had agreed to Wang Xuba and joined hands to meet the enemy, the situation might be very different now.

It's just that they all underestimated the Northern Jin Army, and even more overestimated Wang Xuba and Liu Jianhan.

"Your Majesty, send someone to negotiate a peace." Prime Minister Gao Shi clasped his hands and said.

Gao Lie remained silent for a while before he asked, "Will the Northern Jin Dynasty negotiate a peace?"

He himself has no hope for this choice, because he doesn't think Bei Jin will let him go.

"It may be feasible to promise money and send beauty."

"Absurd!" General Zhang Lifa scolded angrily: "Now that the Northern Jin Dynasty has [-] troops besieging the city, how could they agree to negotiate a peace just because of money and food? Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the whole army to defend Yangxin. Your Majesty can send envoys to Qingzhou to report to Li Fazhu Call for help."

"Master Li?"

Zhang Lifa nodded, "That's right. Once we can't resist the Northern Jin Dynasty, the next one will be Li Fazhu. He will never sit still. As long as Li Fazhu crosses the river to help, when the time comes, our two armies will join forces and the Northern Jin army will be defeated!"

"Your Majesty, Yang Xinzhong can have 12 troops, and if we reorganize civilians, we can get a large army of 20. It is difficult for the Northern Jin Army to take it down in a short time. We will definitely be able to hold out until Li Fazhu comes to help."

Gao Lie hesitated slightly, and looked at his younger brother.

Seeing his brother's gaze, King Ande immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Northern Jin Army will not agree to negotiate peace with us. Now we are the only ones left in Hebei. How can we allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch? Jiang Chengxiao will definitely attack with all his troops. us."

"Our current one is to surrender."

Before he finished speaking, seeing Gao Lie's darkened face, King Ande immediately said: "The second is, as General Zhang Lifa said, stick to Yang Xin and wait for Master Li to come to help."

At this moment, a servant hurried to Gao Lie's side and leaned over to whisper.

"He's here?" Gao Lie turned to look at the servant.

The servant nodded, "The city I just entered."

Gao Lie looked at the ministers in the hall, "I got the news that the Northern Jin Dynasty sent envoys here, presumably to persuade them to surrender. Would you like to meet me, my loves?"

Some people said yes, some said they didn't see him and just sent him away. Zhang Lifa was more irritable and asked for orders to kill the envoy immediately.

"Doesn't General Zhang know if the two armies are fighting each other?" Gao Shilian sarcastically said.

Zhang Lifa said bitterly: "The envoy of the violent Jin Dynasty, a shameless person, must have come here to humiliate His Majesty, why can't he be killed!"

It was rare for Gao Shilian to pay attention to this thorn, and said to Gao Lie: "Your Majesty, let's meet and listen to what Jiang Chengxiao wants to say."

Gao Lie was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Seeing this, Zhang Lifa let out a cold snort.

Not long after, a young man stepped into the hall with a letter in his hand, and everyone looked sideways.

The young man stood still in the hall and bowed slightly to Gao Lie.

"Wen Yanfei, the envoy of King Zhao, has seen Duke Gao."

"Bold!" Zhang Lifa immediately jumped up after hearing Wen Yanfei's words, stood up and walked to Wen Yanfei's side, her majestic body was extremely oppressive in front of Wen Yanfei.

"This is His Majesty the Great Qi Emperor, Zhu Zi'an dares to be rude!"

Gao Lie's face was gloomy, the envoy really came to humiliate him.

Wen Yanfei said calmly: "This must be General Zhang Lifao who defeated Nanpi, Rao'an, and Leling."

Hearing this, Zhang Lifa immediately became furious.

"What did you say!"

"I'm not right?" Wen Yanfei asked with a sneer, "If you don't fight hard, you lose again and again, otherwise how could you be here today?"

Zhang Lifa gritted her teeth, wishing she could kill Wen Yanfei with one blow.
