The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 466

Early the next morning, Yu Chigong ordered the whole army to set off.Li Chengqian led an army of [-] to protect Li Shimin and went to Anshi Prefecture.Yu Chigong led the brigade to Phoenix City.

At the same time, Gai Suwenna of Sanjiang Yuehucheng was furious.After all, in just a few months, only Phoenix City was left west of the Yalu River.

Gai Suwen said in a loud voice: "A group of wine bags and rice bags, they swore in front of this commander before. But it really came to pass, and they couldn't even hold on for a few months."

"The Generalissimo doesn't need to be angry, even if the Phoenix City is lost, so what. Now that we have assembled an army of 80, we can take back the lost city at any time." Amulun said to Gai Suwen.

This Amulun is no one to be taken lightly, with a magic subduing pestle in his hand, and his arms are as powerful as a thousand catties.He is the number one general under Gai Suwen's command.

It can be said that in his eyes only Gai Suwen, others are not worthy of his eyes.The same is true for those old princes in the Tang Dynasty.

He asked Gai Suwen repeatedly for orders to cross the Yalu River to guard Liaodong City.But none of them got Gai Suwen's consent.

Hearing what Amulun said, Gai Suwen couldn't help but nodded.And said: "This time, the commander-in-chief will cross the Yalu River himself, and Phoenix City is the place where he, Li Shimin, will be buried."

At this time, a Taoist next to Gai Suwen said, "Disciple, it's better to give up Phoenix City to Li Shimin."

This Taoist is none other than Taoist Mujiao, who is Gai Suwen's mentor.He is extremely sinister, and he is definitely a master who eats people without spit out bones.

Gai Suwen heard from his master that he would give up Phoenix City to Li Shimin.He couldn't help showing a puzzled look on his face, and said to Taoist Mujiao, "I don't know why Master made such a decision?"

"Although Li Shimin spent a lot of effort on every city, but in the end, they all ended up with a complete victory."

"If Phoenix City resolutely resists, the final result may be the destruction of the city. Instead, it is better to evacuate people and hide in Phoenix Mountain first."

"In this way, Li Shimin will definitely feel that Goguryeo has been beaten by him. With his ecstatic character, he will naturally be complacent."

"When the time comes, I will go to Phoenix Mountain for my teacher to make some noises, and let Li Shimin go to Phoenix Mountain for fun. At that time, my apprentice will set up an ambush, and let Li Shimin never come back." Taoist Mujiao said with a sinister smile on his face. .

"Master's method is good. Not only can it avoid losing soldiers and generals, but it can also relax and wait for work." Gai Suwen said with a big smile.

Then he said to Amulun: "You immediately take someone across the Yalu River and inform Ruan Shiliang, the chief general of Phoenix City. Let him withdraw overnight from Phoenix City and hide in Phoenix Mountain."

"And let him make a false appearance of fleeing in a hurry and crossing the Yalu River. He doesn't have to worry about the rest."

After Amulun snorted, he asked Gai Suwen again: "General Marshal, I wonder if General Mo Mo will stay in the army or go back to Sanjiang Yuehu City after notifying Ruan Shiliang?"

"You can just stay on the bank of the Yalu River and wait for the commander. At that time, the commander will lead an army to join you. In the battle of Phoenix Mountain, Li Shimin must die without a place to bury him." Ge Shiwen said to Amulun.

……

"Generalissimo, if I'm not mistaken, you won't be able to escape with your hundred military sticks this time." Cheng Chuliang said to Yu Chigong with a smile on his face.

Yuchi Gong glared at Cheng Chuliang and said, "How do you know that I won't be able to win Phoenix City within a month?"

"Grand Marshal, this Phoenix City is the largest city west of the Yalu River. According to the information His Highness has received, the guard of Phoenix City is called Ruan Shiliang, which is incomparable even to Zhang Hanlin." Cheng Chuliang said.

"You said that Ruan Shiliang, the guard of Phoenix City, is stronger than Zhang Hanlin. Doesn't that mean that Phoenix City is stronger than Jili City?" Yu Chigong asked Cheng Chuliang with a surprised face.

"That's natural. This Phoenix City is on the bank of the Yalu River. As long as we besiege the city here, Gai Suwen from Sanjiang Yuehu City will naturally send troops to support it."

"If it doesn't work out by then, we'll have to ask people to make dumplings at home." Cheng Chuliang said after a sigh.

After hearing this, Yuchi Gong couldn't help but gasped, but after thinking about it, he found a solution.After all, there is still a virtuous minister Ying Meng of Li Shimin in his army.

So he opened his mouth and said to Cheng Chuliang: "You are the front commander of Zhengyin Pioneer. Therefore, I will leave the task of attacking Phoenix City to you."

Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Yu Chigong's words, and said to Yu Chigong in disbelief: "Marshal, are you kidding me?"

"Do you think this commander is joking with you? Tomorrow morning, you will lead the vanguard first. When I arrive at Phoenix City, I hope you have already occupied Phoenix City. Otherwise, you will take the hundred army sticks first." Go." Yu Chigong looked at Cheng Chuliang and said.

……

Xu Maogong also walked in with a letter.And he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, Changsun Wuji has a letter."

Li Shimin took the letter and opened it, and couldn't help showing anger.This can't help but make Li Chengqian on the side feel strange.

So he opened his mouth and asked Li Shimin: "Father, is it possible that something unexpected happened in Chang'an City?"

"You are really right, there is a drought all over the country." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he handed the letter in his hand to Li Chengqian.

After reading the letter, Li Chengqian couldn't help but put the letter on the crime.And said angrily: "He is looking for death."

"Although I also know that Li Yuanchang has evil intentions, his excuses are very reasonable." Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

"If the three armies have no food and grass, then there will be no combat effectiveness. At that time, our army will be in chaos without fighting." Li Chengqian asked Li Shimin.

It turns out that Changsun Wuji said clearly in the letter that King Lu Li Yuanchang had already taken action.And the food and grass supply of Li Shimin's army has been cut off.

As for his excuse, it was very simple. There was a drought in the state capitals of Datang.The common people have no grain harvest this year and need a large amount of food relief for the victims.

And it was also proposed in the court that Li Shimin should stop using troops against Goguryeo.Otherwise, it is possible to repeat the ending of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.

Just when Li Shimin was frowning, Jiang Chengzu walked in with a letter.And he opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, Zou Fengchi has sent an urgent letter."

Li Chengqian took the letter from Jiang Chengzu's hand, and after reading it, a smile appeared on his face.
