At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 597 Sharpshooter Qi Guogong
Gao Bufan is not a bloodthirsty person, but a person like Luo Yi will retaliate and is capricious. Even if he accepts his allegiance now, the probability of betraying him in the future is very high, so he must not stay. It is better to kill him on the spot, so as not to raise a tiger infestation.

However, Luo Yi is a person who dominates one side after all, and the respect he deserves is still necessary, so Gao Bufan ordered people to collect Luo Yi's body, and then led the crowd into the city, and soon controlled all the city gates. Remnants are cleaned up.

On the other side, Xue Wanjun attacked Yuchi Jingde's camp in a sneak attack, and suffered a similar experience. He was hit head-on by the random arrows of the Qi army, and then a wave of crushing attacks by the armored light cavalry of Youzhou, and he collapsed and was defeated on the spot.

Xue Wanjun led the defeated soldiers and tried to escape back to the city, only to find that the flag on the top of the city had changed, and it was not his own people who greeted him, but the Qi army's ten thousand arrows. It was already too late, and was stopped by the armored Qingqi led by Xue Wanche.

"Brother, surrender, you can't run away!" Xue Wanche hurried forward to persuade him.

Xue Wanjun scolded angrily: "Xue Wanche, you traitor, the boss treats you well, why did you betray him?"

Xue Wanche calmly said: "Luo Yi did treat me kindly, but before I was captured, I was also loyal to Luo Yi, going through thick and thin and doing my best, so I, Xue Wanche, have a clear conscience. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a virtuous minister chooses a tree to live in." Lord and servant, Qi Guogong is open and benevolent, broad-minded, wise and wise, and has the air of a master, now that Luo Yi is dead, brother, you have also done your duty, you have no regrets, why don't you lay down your weapons and surrender?"

Xue Wanjun was taken aback, and lost his voice: "My lord, he...!"

Xue Wanche nodded and said, "Luo Yi's body has been buried by Qi Guogong himself, very respectable."

"Gao Changqing is here?" Xue Wanjun was surprised again.

A trace of pride flashed across Xue Wanjun's face: "That's right, the Duke of Qi has been here for several days. His purpose is to wait for the Goguryeo people to send troops, and then he will kill two birds with one stone. Brother, you have been tricked!"

Xue Wanjun's expression fluctuated, and his heart was complicated and difficult to understand. He sighed and said, "Wan Che, you have changed. You have not even been proud of the general manager, but you are proud of Gao Changqing."

Xue Wanche said solemnly: "Because Qi Guogong is worth it, big brother, if you have been working under Qi Guogong for a long time, you will be like me. Compared with him, Yi is really far behind, Luo Yi can't cook for his subordinates himself."

Xue Wanjun remained silent, Xue Wanche said sincerely: "Brother, those who know the current affairs are heroes, surrender, and Qi Guogong will definitely accept you. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your brothers, right?"

Xue Wanjun looked around at the restless brothers, feeling extremely heavy, hesitated again and again, and finally threw his weapon away, and said dejectedly: "Surrender!"

Seeing this, hundreds of people under Xue Wanjun threw away their weapons and surrendered. Luo Yi was dead, so there was no need to fight this battle.

Besides, Gao Jianwu's sneak attack on the Qi army's camp was very smooth at the beginning, but the more he fought, the more he felt that something was wrong. The first camp fence was breached in the blink of an eye, but the second camp fence could not be taken no matter what.

Seeing more and more casualties under his command, Gao Jianwu was a little panicked. At this time, countless flames erupted in the camp of the Qi army. Luo Yi led his troops to fight out what kind of tricks he was playing.

Speaking of which, this Gao Jianwu had a few tricks. When he saw Luo Yi leading troops out to meet him, he immediately vaguely guessed the intention of the Qi army, and even decisively ordered the troops to withdraw and fled in the direction of Liaohe.

"Hey, this Gao Jianwu is a smart man, he seems to have seen through our intentions!"

Xu Shiji couldn't help but let out a little gasp. He originally planned to slowly consume Goguryeo's manpower, but seeing the opponent's decisive retreat, he could only immediately release the five hundred Youzhou cavalry who were waiting in full force.

Once the Youzhou iron cavalry galloped up, it would really shake the ground, make the mountains and rivers pale, and frighten those Goguryeo people to death. They didn't dare to resist at all. Goguryeo soldiers who ran slowly turned into a puddle of meat after chasing and rolling past them.

Five hundred Youzhou iron cavalry pursued all the way to the Liaohe River, and the four thousand Goguryeo elite soldiers were defeated, with less than [-]% left. Gao Jianwu wanted to ride across the river on horseback, but unexpectedly the ice was too slippery, and his mount fell down, so he had to abandon his horse Even rolling and crawling, he almost lost his trousers.

Fortunately, the armored cavalry did not dare to walk on the ice, so they stopped chasing after reaching the river. They just bent their bows and shot arrows. The chaotic Goguryeo soldiers on the ice could not run fast, and nearly half of them died on the icy river. In fact, less than 500 people fled back.

Gao Jianwu escaped to the other side by chance and saved his life. He didn't dare to stay by the river, and fled into Liaodong City in a panic.

Fortunately, Gao Jianwu's group saw the opportunity quickly. The other four thousand Goguryeo elite soldiers attacked Yuchi Jingde's camp, and finally fell into siege. They were massacred by five hundred Youzhou cavalry, and only a few dozen people fled back.

That night, the eight thousand elite troops under Gao Jianwu's command were almost completely annihilated. slumped down on the seat.

After this battle, King Goguryeo had to re-examine his new opponent, and temporarily put away his ambition to annex Yingzhou.

The battle was over, and a round of red sun rose from the horizon, emitting thousands of rays of light. The temperature was still very low, but the morale of the Qi army was high, and everyone was smiling.

Everyone thought that this battle would have to wait until the spring of next year to continue the fight, but they did not expect it to be settled in one night. Not only did they easily capture the hard bone of Huaiyuan City, but they also took advantage of the opportunity to give the Goguryeo people a head-on blow. What a fucking joy .

Yuchi Jingde pointed to the mountain of weapons in front of him and introduced to Gao Bufan: "Look, Duke Qi, these weapons were all seized from the Goguryeo people, and most of them were the standard weapons of the Sui Dynasty. It can be seen that Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo three times. How many good guys did they give away?"

Xu Shiji frowned and said calmly: "It's not just weapons. Yang Guang left more than 100 million troops in Goguryeo back then, and now I don't know how many Han family sons are still serving Goguryeo as slaves on the other side of the Liao River!"

Gao Dahe said angrily: "My lord, why don't we just wipe out Goguryeo directly, the little Yi people dare to enslave us Han people."

Gao Bufan shook his head and said, "It's so easy for Yang Guangfa's million-strong army to do it, so let's take it slowly."

Xu Shiji was thoughtful when he heard the words, because from Qi Guogong's tone, he seemed to intend to conquer Goguryeo, which shows that Qi Guogong is actually ambitious.

In fact, Gao Bufan doesn't have any "big ambitions". In his perception, the other side of the Liaohe River is the scope of Liaoning, and the Jilin and Heilongjiang in the northeast are also the territories of later countries. shame?

Next, Gao Bufan wrote a letter to the King of Goguryeo, and Yuchi Jingde crossed the river himself and shot at the head of Liaodong City.

Gao Jianwu fell silent after reading the letter, and hurriedly sent someone to send the letter back to Pyongyang and hand it to Goguryeo King Gao Yuan. In fact, Gao Bufan didn't say anything harsh in this letter, but just warned Gao Yuan just right, which not only reached the point of threatening The purpose, but not to make the other party angry.

After all, Qi's focus should be on the country, so it is not appropriate to overly stimulate Goguryeo, just teach him a lesson so that he does not dare to reach out for the time being.

Sure enough, after a few days, Gao Yuan sent someone to reply Gao Bufan with a letter, which probably meant that he wanted to turn hostility into friendship and live in peace with the Qi State. However, it was only a letter and no formal agreement was signed. The treaty of friendship shows that Gao Yuan is only temporarily intimidated by the force of the Qi army, and has not completely given up. He will definitely act as a demon if he has the opportunity.

Little did he know that Gao Bufan didn't want to sign any peace treaty with Goguryeo. When the domestic dust settled, even if Goguryeo didn't clean things up, he would come out and clean up Goguryeo.

On the 13th day of the twelfth lunar month in the [-]th year of Daye, Xu Shiji and Yuchi Jingde stayed to temporarily manage the four counties of Yingzhou, while Gao Bufan himself left Huaiyuan City and rushed back to Guannei.

Those who celebrate Chinese New Year will naturally be at home with their wives and children. Oh yes, our Duke Qi has no children yet, but he will soon, because just half a year ago, Rou'er, Wugou and Xianniang were all pregnant one after another. It really surprised Gao Bufan. In the past few years, he missed so many shots, but this year he was shot three times in a few months. It's really crazy.

The three hostesses of Qi are all pregnant, one of them will give birth to a son, right?So apart from Gao Kaishan and the Chen family, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui are the happiest. If Qi Guogong has successors, then Qi State will have a foundation and be secure!
Of course, Gao Bufan himself doesn't care, having a son or daughter is a treasure, no matter whether it is a son or a daughter, he will treat them equally!
Yang Guang likes to put on a show, and every time he travels, he is always surrounded by people. There are tens of thousands of people accompanying him, but Gao Bufan is very low-key. When he left the customs, he only led fifty cavalry soldiers. Fifty cavalry soldiers, and there is another advantage of this, that is, they are fast.

Gao Bufan set off on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, and returned to Ji County on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, no one greeted him, so he went into the city, because Gao Bufan didn't inform Wei Zheng of his itinerary in advance.

Let's talk about Gao Bufan returning to Duke Qi's mansion in a hurry, and before he had time to go to the back house to greet his parents, an old friend came to the door.
