Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 456 Brothers turn against each other
Liaodong.

Under the new city, [-] soldiers and horses have arrived and assembled.

Liaodong Taishou, Zuo Houwei General, Yan Guogong Luo Yi worshiped the commander of the [-] army, commanded the three armies, and bestowed Shang Fang with the sword.But General Youwuwei, Liaoxi Taishou, Hua Guogong Li Jing, Luo Yi's old boss, now became Luo Yi's deputy.No matter how old their qualifications are, neither he nor Li Yuan has a sword in their hands. If Luo Yi commits the crime, he may take the opportunity to behead his head.

Luo Yi's Seventh Army was stationed in the new city, while Li Yuan's and Li Jing's Eighth and Ninth Army were stationed outside the city.

In Li Yuan's Ninth Army, there is a young one-eyed general who is particularly conspicuous. He is Li Yuan's second son, General Ying Yanglang Li Shimin, who is now serving as the front general in the Ninth Army.

Since he was shot blind in one eye last time, Li Shimin has devoted himself to commanding troops and immersed himself in the barracks every day. It has only been half a year, and his whole person has changed a lot.

"Take it down for me, twenty sticks."

One of Li Shimin's eyes was covered with a black blindfold, and his one-eyed eyes became more ruthless and cold.

Several soldiers hesitated, after all, the one Li Shimin shouted to take down was Tang Guogong's third son Yuanji.

Compared with Li Shimin and Jiancheng brothers, Li Yuanji looks nothing like him, he looks very ugly.Both Jiancheng and Shimin brothers are very handsome, but this Yuanji is very ugly.

Point-eared monkey cheeks, but the face is still very sallow.

It's just a yellow face, even his beard and hair are yellow, but his beard is very thick, so his whole face looks like a monkey's face.

However, Li Yuanji is ugly, but he is extremely good at martial arts, especially a horse spear, and his two elder brothers are far from his opponents.Li Yuanji, nicknamed Huang Chou'er, ranks even higher than Xue Wanche in the martial arts ranking of Jing Zhongxun's children, which means he is almost as close as Pei Xingyan to Liulang, and even comparable to Yu Wencheng.

In this expedition, Li Yuan served as the general of the Ninth Army, Jian Jiancheng joined the army by his side, and Li Shimin insisted on being the vanguard.The third son, Yuan Ji, also said that he wanted to lead the army, so Li Yuan made Yuan Ji the deputy general of Shimin.

Who knows that the two brothers usually don't deal with each other very much, but today Yuan Ji openly disobeyed Shimin's military orders.

Li Shimin was so angry that he didn't think of brotherhood, so he insisted on tying Yuanji up and beating him with a military stick.

"Who dares!"

Huang Chou'er shouted loudly, the voice was sharp and piercing, so unpleasant that the soldiers dared not go forward.

Li Shimin raised the whip, and threw it out with two snaps, knocking the two soldiers who refused to come forward to carry out the whip to the ground.

He pointed his horsewhip at Li Yuanji, "Hugh is rampant in our army, and you don't talk about personal affairs in the barracks. Even though you are my brother, you violated my military regulations. Today I will beat you with a cane to enforce military discipline."

"One-eyed dragon, you are blind in one eye, and your temper has turned upside down, how dare you!"

This one-eyed dragon exploded Li Shimin's heart.

He yelled, "Get it for me!"

"Those who dare to resist and disobey will be executed!"

As soon as the word "cut" came out, the soldiers who were still a little hesitant no longer dared to disobey, and stepped forward one after another.

Li Yuanji relied on being the son of a general, and he was also very capable. With a horse spear in his hand, he swept all the soldiers who came over.

Li Shimin's face flushed with anger, "Take it down, take it down for me."

More soldiers surrounded him. Li Yuanji was indeed skilled in martial arts, but no matter how powerful he was, he was no match for four hands.A group of soldiers simply dragged a net over and covered Li Yuanji directly.

Now he was finally tied up.

"beat!"

Twenty army sticks, there is no discount at once, even Huang Chou'er's domineering body was beaten to pieces.

After the beating was over, Li Shimin asked someone to untie him, "Send him back to the account of the general, and say that this person has been dismissed by the commander."

Li Yuanji's skin was bruised, and it was difficult to move.

But his eyes became more fierce, he stared at Li Shimin and shouted, "Second Li, remember today, I will never end with you!"

Li Yuan looked at Huang Chou'er who was sent back, and smiled helplessly, "Forget it, you stay in the Chinese army and follow your elder brother."

Li Yuanji wanted to cry, but Li Yuan said impatiently, "Why don't you learn to be good, even your second brother can't tolerate you, where else can you go?"

Li Jiancheng took Yuan Ji back to his military account.

"Shimin is blind now, and his temper has changed a lot. Don't mess with him. Look at me, I try to avoid him now."

"Brother, you are still good to me."

"We are all brothers of the same mother. If I don't treat you well, who will treat you well?"

"I'm a compatriot with the same mother, and the second brother Li is also a compatriot with my mother, but she is not good to me. Even when my mother thought I was ugly when I was born, she wanted to throw me away, and she refused to even give me a milk." .I grew up on my mother’s milk since I was a child, and I never drank a drop of my mother’s milk. There are also three sisters and four brothers. They only like Li and the second child and don’t like me.”

Brother Jiancheng patted, "Okay, don't say this in the future, whether they like you or not, I will just help you in the future."

·······
In mid-February, it was half a month earlier than the scheduled troop dispatch.

Luo Cheng led more than [-] members of the Left Fifth Army to set off first. The fleet set off from Penglai Port and crossed the Bohai Bay along the Miaodao Islands. Duli Bay.

Duliwan is Lushunkou in later generations. It belonged to Dashi County in the Han Dynasty. It was named Ma Shijin in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it was named Duliwan at this time.

"Master, Duliwan is here!"

Luo Cheng stood on the deck and looked ahead. This is the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, bordering on the Yellow River to the south and southeast, facing the Shandong Peninsula across the sea, and adjacent to the Korean Peninsula across the sea.The west and northwest are close to the Bohai Sea, and Zhuojun, Hejian, Yuyang, and Beiping are separated by a strip of water.The east and northeast are connected by land.

The coast here is tortuous, with many harbors, many mountains and hills, and few plains and lowlands.

"Duli is the name of the Goguryeo people. We came here this time, and the sea journey went smoothly. I think it's better to change the name to Lushun."

Wei Zheng flattered him like a dog, "Lushun is a good name, it has a good mouth, and it sounds much better than Duli in Goguryeo."

"Get ready to land, let us let the Fifth Army of the Left start the first battle of the second conquest of Liao!"

Use me in the first battle, and you will win the battle.

The entire southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula is under the jurisdiction of Beisha City in Goguryeo. Beisha City is stationed on the Dahei Mountain, about 120 miles away from Lushun.

In fact, Luo Cheng can land in Dalian Bay, which is closer to Beisha City. At this time, Dalian Bay is called Qingniwa, just under Dahei Mountain.It's just that Luo Cheng chose to land at Lushunkou, which is far away from Daheishan, for the sake of safety.

In this way, there is also a leisurely landing time, and you can rest at the port first, and transport the horses, equipment, food, grass, etc. down.

"Why haven't you seen any Goguryeo people?"

"The Goguryeo people are all near Beisha City. There are many Goguryeo fishermen living in Qingniwa Bay. Because it is far away from Beisha City, the Goguryeo people have all withdrawn since the last Liao conquest."

"Marshal, should I take the lead in scouting and cavalry to go to the foot of Dahei Mountain for reconnaissance?"

"Okay, be careful." Luo Cheng agreed to Zhao Gui's request.

"Since the people from Goguryeo are not coming, we can make good use of this place, disembark the auxiliary soldiers, build a dock and a water village in Lushun Bay first, and build a castle. We will use this as a base to advance, attack and retreat. .”

Beisha City is ten miles around, built on the Dahei Mountain, which is very dangerous, with [-] troops stationed and tens of thousands of people.But Luo Cheng is not in a hurry, anyway, he wants to fight there, first build a landing port in Lushun, and then build a castle by the way.
