Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 560 Bargaining
"Send the order, prepare to attack the city tomorrow!" Li Yue turned around and ordered the generals.

Murong Ping was not sincere and was most likely stalling for time.

Feng Yi, Murong De, and Xian Yuliang were brave and resourceful, so they could only use fighting to promote talks.

Without giving Murong Ping a look, I really thought that a broken city could withstand the black cloud elite.

You have to strike while the iron is hot. If you wait too long, the morale of the soldiers will be low.

During the previous confrontation, Li Yue had ordered the construction of siege equipment. Although there were not many, it was enough to frighten the defenders in the city.

"Your Majesty... the cities of Nansu, Pingguo and other cities surrendered to Goguryeo after hearing that Murong Ke was defeated and killed. Goguryeo King Gao Zhao personally led an army of [-] into Nansu City, and Xuantu County surrendered!" Lu Qing came to report with a livid face.

"You are so brave, you dare to steal the food from my mouth." Li Yue was slightly surprised.

But I soon felt relieved. If you put a piece of fat in front of the dog's mouth, do you still expect the dog to be unyielding?
Goguryeo has always had ambitions to expand. How could it give up such a good opportunity?

Moreover, Nansu, Pingguo and other cities took the initiative to seek refuge.

"Is Lu Guang here?" Li Yue rubbed his forehead. Goguryeo dared to take action because of its remoteness. There were many mountains and rivers in the land east of the sea, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The Murong clan had been at odds with Goguryeo for decades, but they still could not be destroyed.

With the national strength of Daliang, it is not that they cannot be defeated, but it is difficult to truly destroy them until Liaodong is managed well.

At that time, Guan Qiujian pushed the entire Goguryeo sideways. After retreating, Goguryeo made a comeback.

However, this matter still has to be blamed on Sima Yi. After destroying Gongsun Yuan, he raised his butcher knife in Liaodong, and then moved 20 people to fill Jizhou. Since then, China's power in Liaodong has weakened.

It created conditions for the rise of Murong and Goguryeo.
During the Warring States Period, these areas were the hometown of China and had been in business for hundreds of years. Sima Yi didn't feel bad about selling his land.

"We'll be there in two days." Lu Qing said with cupped hands.

When Lu Guang came, he had to rest again. After resting, he had to spend several days to get to Xuantu County. By then, Gao Zhao would have already dug deep ditches and high bases.

If he gains a foothold in Xuantu, he will be condescending to Liaodong.

"Send orders to Zhang Hao and Liu Laozhi to lead [-] cavalry to attack Goguryeo!" Li Yue made a prompt decision.

Liaodong has a large population. If you don't give him a wink, I'm afraid he will take advantage of it.

No one should be spared if they gain power these days, and they will be punished to death.

Between countries, if you don't kill others when you are strong, when they become strong, you will be the unlucky one.

Zhang Hao and Liu Laozhi led the troops away, but now another problem loomed before them. Not only were there insufficient troops to attack Longcheng, but they also had to prepare for the Yan army's counterattack.

"Since we can't fight, let's talk first." Li Yue could only wait for Lu Guang's [-] knights to arrive while ordering the construction of siege equipment.

At this time, there were virgin forests everywhere in western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, with a lot of wood.

With plenty of time, the middle camp escorted the prisoners to cut down trees and quarry stones, and the craftsman camp worked day and night to build ramming cars, flying buildings, crash cars, city climbing cars, hooked wood, step cars, trains, etc.

Liang Guo improved the treatment of craftsmen, established the Tiangong Institute in Taixue, recruited a large number of children from poor families, trained a large number of craftsmen, and greatly improved siege equipment.

The Zhou, Qin, Han, and Wei dynasties were all invincible with their ingenuity in instruments, and their skills surpassed all the surrounding countries.

When one Han arrived at Wuhu, not only the bravery of the soldiers, but also the equipment.

Two days later, Lu Guang came over in a hurry.

Li Yue ordered him to rest immediately.

As soon as the fresh troops arrived, all parts of Liaodong surrendered one after another, and a polarized situation emerged. The Xiongnu Wuhuan, Kumoxi and other tribes defected to Goguryeo, while the Xianbei and Central Plains people defected to Daliang.There are still some cities that continue to be loyal to the Yan Kingdom, but Tu He Yangqian still blocks Cui Jin's army and refuses to surrender. After all, Dragon City is still there, the Yan Kingdom has not really been destroyed, and all the Yang family are in the Dragon City.

Goguryeo did not hesitate to send troops to invade Xuantu County in order to win over the Yi tribes in Liaodong.

Population is more important than land.

It was quiet in Dragon City, as if nothing had happened. The defenders had become accustomed to it after being besieged for many days.

Murong Ping's envoys came twice, but each time they were delayed and nothing substantial was delivered.

Li Yue has seen through his trick, which is nothing more than relying on the strength of Dragon City to wait for changes.

Just when Li Yue was preparing to attack the city, Gai Tuyan, the Goguryeo envoy, arrived.

"Goguryeo has no intention of offending Daliang. The people of Xuantu are all devoted to my king. My king has no choice but to take care of it for your majesty. As soon as the Yan Kingdom is destroyed, Xuantu will be returned to your majesty."

"It's too late. My army has already been dispatched. It should be arriving at Xuantu soon. Either hand over the Liaodong tribes and withdraw from Xuantu, or try my Daliang swordsmanship!"

To communicate with them, swords are most effective.

If we really wait for Goguryeo to return Xuantu, I am afraid that it will be completely eaten up long ago. There will be no population in Liaodong and the land will not be able to be defended.

To this day, Goguryeo has neither declared itself a vassal nor requested for canonization, which shows their thoughts.

"Your Majesty, you must not do it. The two countries are at war. It is difficult to resolve for a while. I heard that the Qin State has sent troops. The Central Plains is your Majesty's foundation. Liaodong is nothing more than fur, and Daliang is the superior country. Why fight with the barbarian country for the barren land?"

If you can be sent as an envoy, you will naturally have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth.

"So you, the King of Goguryeo, are confident enough to threaten me?" Li Yue's eyes filled with murderous intent.

"I don't dare. I have no such intention. I just think about His Majesty and Daliang..." Gaituyan lowered his head, but his eyes flickered as he looked at Li Yue.

"I - thank you so much for your country's kindness!"

With a "clang" sound, the long sword at the waist was unsheathed, the sword light flashed, and a drop of blood flew into the tent.

Gaituyan's horrified eyes followed his head.

The generals in the tent also looked surprised. It had been a long time since they had seen their emperor draw his sword to kill someone.

"In this small country, the beasts are barking. Someone comes and gives the heads to Goguryeo's followers to take back!" Li Yue swung his long sword, and there was no trace of blood on the sword.

The bodyguard picked up the head.

After a long time, Huan Yi on the side said cautiously: "The two countries are at war, Bu Zhan will come..."

Li Yue returned the sword and sheathed it, "That was in the Central Plains, in China. Now in this barbaric land, they can only understand this. Kindness does not lead the army, benevolence does not lead the country, only by killing the envoys can one establish authority. This is what I am giving to Goguryeo." War letter."

If a farming civilization arises in Liaodong, it will pose a great threat to China.

Therefore, Liang Guo and Goguryeo were fighting to the death without any room for compromise.

If Li Yue's generation does not deal with them, future generations will have to spend several times or more than ten times the energy to destroy them.

Murong Ke guarded Pingguo City. When he attacked Goguryeo, he even dug up people's ancestral graves. Didn't Goguryeo clamp its tail and hide to the east of the sea and not dare to look west?
Huan Yi had military strategies and talents, but he had too many shortcomings.

Of course, this has something to do with his birth environment, Jiangdong is popular, but there is too much killing in the North, and there is no hero and strong man, and the country cannot be controlled...

"Command the troops to conquer Dragon City!" Li Yue raised his sword and came out of the camp, shouting to the soldiers outside.
