Chapter 465 Princess Izumo
If you get up early to update, you should have a monthly pass.

Great cause for nine years.

On March [-], Yang Guang arrived in Huaiyuan.

In the early morning, Huaiyuan Town North Huaiyuan Traveling Palace, the emperor just sat down, only to see the servant report.

"Your Majesty, a great victory. Luo Cheng, the chief of the navy, hastened to report the victory."

"report a success?"

Yang Guang regained his energy for a while, and swept away the fatigue of the journey.

"Has Luo Cheng fought against the Goguryeo people? He reached the Yalu River so soon?"

"Your Majesty, Director Luo won a great victory in southern Liaoning. In the first battle, he wiped out [-] soldiers and horses in Anshi City, captured Gao Yanwu, the lord of Anshi City, and captured Jian'an City."

Yang Guang was suddenly confused.

Anshi City is near the estuary of the Liaohe River, while Jian'an City is in the south of Liaoning. The distance between the two places is at least two hundred miles, and it is even further away from Donglai.

"what is the problem?"

In Huaiyuan at the end of March, the willows and willows are still at this time, and the warm wind is warm.

The servant presented the good news, which was sent by Luo Cheng in Jian'an City by sea.The fast boat was sent from Changxing Island to Wanghai Town first, and then sent to Huaiyuan via Luhe Town by fast horse. It only took a few days to arrive.

Luo Cheng's memorials are quite detailed. His memorials are very familiar to Yang Guang, with a unique style, little nonsense, and no exaggerated rhetoric. They are all about things, and they are extremely concise and concise. It is clear at a glance, and the cause and effect before and after the event can be clearly seen.

For example, in this memorial, Luo Chengcheng explained the cause and effect of this great victory.In mid-February, he led the Fifth Left Army to go to sea. Instead of going directly to the Yalu River, he first landed in Duli in southern Liaoning. Luo Cheng also explained the reason why he landed in Duli. In the center, even the flanks threatened Anshi, Wugu and other cities, and supported the Liaodong City battlefield and the Yalu River battlefield.

Then Luo Cheng said that after he landed in Duli, he intentionally did not encircle Beisha immediately and asked Beisha to ask for help from outside. When the city lord of Anshi led [-] troops to the south to rescue, he went around from the sea to the vicinity of Jian'an between Anshi and Beisha. , There besieged the city to fight for reinforcements, attacked halfway across the river, and won a big victory in one fell swoop.

The detailed results of the battle are attached at the back, as well as the rewards for the meritorious soldiers, including his promotion of Qin Qiong and other soldiers.

Snapped.

Yang Guang couldn't help but slapped his thigh hard, watching Luo Cheng's memorial, it was as if he was actually there.

He seemed to be personally involved in a big battle, and when he saw the big victory, it was as refreshing as drinking ice water in June.

"This Luo Cheng is really good at fighting, it's amazing, it's fun!"

"Your Majesty, why are you so happy and happy?"

The emperor's favorite Izumo princess, Yang Jier, came in with a smile, flying like a lark.

"Ah, it's my pearl. Come and share this joy with me. The Fifth Zuo Army just won another big victory. They wiped out [-] Goguryeo troops in the first battle. They also captured the city owner of An City alive and captured Jian'an City." , I am so happy."

Yang Ji'er is only fourteen years old, but she is beautiful and charming, with a delicate body and a soft body. The emperor likes this daughter the most.Although it is said that Yang Jier's mother was just an ordinary palace lady, Yang Jier's mother was just a lucky one for Yang Guang after drinking, and she died before she was born during childbirth.

In the end, it was a brave and skilled imperial doctor who took out the baby by caesarean section.

The birth of Yang Jier was difficult, but because of this, Yang Guang felt sorry for the child and taught her to be raised by the queen.Empress Xiao was also very kind to this poor child, treating her as if she had come out.

This child is also clever, smart and can talk, which makes Yang Guang and Empress Xiao very fond of it.

Among all the princesses, Yang Jier is second only to the married queen who is the first-born princess of Nanyang in favor.

"Ah, Royal Father, is it Luo Cheng, Duke of Qi?"

"Ah."

"Wow, Luo Cheng is so powerful."

"It's too late. It's a pity that he has already married a wife, and has already taken the daughter of Li Yuan and Cui Junsu as a concubine. Otherwise, I will promise you, the jewel in my palm, to him and recruit him as a concubine."

"Daughters don't marry. Daughters must stay by Father's side for the rest of their lives."

Yang Guang laughed loudly, "I am also reluctant to let you marry, but I can't really delay your life. Jier, I have a few candidates now, you can think about it yourself. This No. 1 choice is Prince Qianniu Chai Shao, Chai Sichang, the second candidate is Xue Shixiong's son Xue Wanche, and the third candidate is Luo Cheng's brother Luo Siye, who do you think is more suitable?"

"Father, that Chai Sichang was originally going to marry Li Yuan's daughter, I don't want others left."

"Hahaha, that's what I said."

"Then choose Xue Wanche or Luo Siye."

"Daughters don't want to marry."

Yang Jier hugged the emperor's arm and shook it left and right. Yang Guang, who was shaking all of a sudden, burst into laughter.

"I think Luo Siye is not as good as Luo Cheng, but it's not bad. You can think about it. Of course, if you don't like it, just pretend I didn't say it. I will never wrong my darling."

The happy Yang Guang later issued an order to praise Luo Cheng, and gave him three thousand catties of gold (copper coins weighing three thousand catties, about five hundred guan) and a thousand pieces of silk. Hundreds of people.

In addition to being happy, he specially approved all of Luo Cheng's petitions for the promotion of the generals of the Five Armies.

"Send someone to Tongding City to urge Yu Wenshu and Yang Yichen, and tell them that Luo Chengcheng has already won a big victory, and they should speed up a bit, let them cross the river and advance early."

Almost on the same day.

Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang led the Fourth and Sixth Armies of the Navy with a total of 5000 troops. They left Dalian Port on a Jianghuai sailor's boat and headed for Biliu River near Shicheng.

After several days of marching, the two armies landed at Shirenwang at the mouth of Biliu River.

The Navy ships directly entered the Biliu River, went up the river, and sent the two armies to twenty miles from the mouth of the river.

Lai Huer chose to set up an ambush on the West Bank.

March 25.

The Black Bone City and Shicheng reinforcements converged, and the two armies totaled [-] soldiers and horses, and they came westward.

On the 26th.

The Goguryeo army stopped advancing on the east bank of the Biliu River.

A Goguryeo Qingqi scout detected the traces of the Sui army.

Lai Hu'er waited and waited but did not see the Goguryeo army crossing the river, and understood that the other party had found him.

After two days of confrontation across the river, Lai Huer ordered to cross the river.

Since the Goguryeo army will not come, they will go.

At this time, he didn't know that the Goguryeo army was not 3, but had become [-].

With the support of Jianghuai sailors, Lai Huer personally led the elite pioneers to cross the river by boat.

The Goguryeo people sent troops to try and intercept them, but Lai Hu'er fought bravely and managed to climb up under the eyes of the Goguryeo people.

Sui troops crossed the Biliu River one after another, and the Sui troops formed formations against the water.

It was originally an ambush to fight for aid, and attacked halfway, but in the end it was a forced crossing of the river and a last-ditch fight.

Sixty-five thousand people crossed the Biliu River and formed an army formation on the plain on the east bank of the river.

The two armies fought, although the Goguryeo people were only half of the Sui army, they were very tenacious. They fought with the Sui army for a day before slowly retreating.

At this time, Zhou Fashang led [-] cavalry to go around by boat, landed behind, outflanked, rushed to kill Goguryeo from behind, and cut off his retreat.The Goguryeo people could not retreat into Shicheng, so they had to retreat northward.

The Sui army chased and killed more than [-] Goguryeo troops into Wufeng Mountain.

Wufeng Mountain is a mountain range with five peaks connected. The mountain is not particularly high, and it is not steep.

The Goguryeo army was pursued and retreated to the southernmost mountain of Wufeng Mountain, and Lai Huer and Zhou Fashang led the army to encircle them.

During the three-day siege, thousands of Goguryeo troops were killed or injured.

In the end, they had to break out in the middle of the night, and the Goguryeo people divided into two armies to break out, while Lai Huer and Zhou Fashang united their armies and pursued in two directions.

In the end, the two armies of Goguryeo, who had not run far, were blocked in the valley between the two peaks on the south side of Wufeng Mountain and reunited.The Sui army also blocked on both sides, and surrounded the Goguryeo army again.

Goguryeo, which had become a trapped beast with nearly 2 horses, resisted fiercely. The Sui army failed to defeat them after several attacks.

"Siege, dig trenches, and besiege them heavily. I want to see if they can resist for a few days."

Lai Hu'er was also annoyed when he saw that he had charged and killed several times, but he had lost thousands of troops.

He simply stopped rushing and ordered a siege.

Let the Sui army dig trenches, cut trees and erect walls, and besiege the [-] defeated Goguryeo troops one after another.

He couldn't believe that the Goguryeo people were short of food and water, they could survive for a few more days!
