Chapter 174 Determined to Defeat Goguryeo
In the northern border town, the three armies headed by Zhou Yafu, Xie Xuan, and Xue Li made an appointment to launch an attack together.

At this time, Zhou Yafu led an army of [-] orders and advanced towards the city where Xue Li was located.

"Do you have any strategies to defeat the enemy?" Zhou Yafu mainly wanted to give Gao Xianzhi a chance. As a Goguryeo native, Gao Xianzhi knew the inside of Goguryeo very well, so he might be able to find a way.

Gao Xianzhi glanced at Zhou Yafu gratefully. Zhou Yafu's behavior was simply unbelievable to him. Of course he understood that this was Zhou Yafu's plan to give him an opportunity to gain merit, otherwise just being a traitor would be enough to nail him down.

In Goryeo, everything is based on seniority. Even Yeon Gaesooun inherited his father's position and reached one of the pinnacles of power as a middle-aged man.

He was in Goryeo before, and it seemed that he could carry Yeon Gaesomun's troops. In fact, he didn't even have an official position. He was just a domestic slave of Yeongaesomun. He was still the kind of lifelong person who could only slowly wait for qualifications. One day Yeon Gae Suwon promoted him.

"Xianzhi, feel free to speak. If you can benefit the battlefield, I, Zhou Yafu, will recommend you to become a general." Zhou Yafu promised. He could feel the hesitation in Gao Xianzhi's heart, and he always hesitated to say what he wanted to say.

"Thank you, sir, I have a plan!" Gao Xianzhi said decisively, as if he had made some kind of determination.

He has been suppressed in Goryeo for too long. Every one of his superiors, including Yeon Gae Suwen, is extremely arrogant. The suggestions he made before will not be adopted at all, and he has no say in Goryeo.

Now Zhou Yafu's trust moved him so much that he made up his mind to completely abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, and strive to become a general in Youzhou.

"Tell me quickly!" Zhou Yafu said happily. As a commander-in-chief, he must not only be capable, but also be good at soliciting the opinions of his generals. After all, one person must be aware of shortcomings and two must be aware of strengths.

"Prior to Yeon Gae Su Wen ordered me to ambush, but he didn't know that I had surrendered. I only need to pretend that the ambush was successful. If I want to continue to apply for reinforcements, I will definitely trigger some troops inside Goryeo to dispatch. If our army cooperates internally and externally, Goryeo will This army will be defeated."

"When the time comes and the troops of Goryeo are defeated and the morale of the Goryeo army is shattered, our army will definitely gain something by attacking Huanglong. Even if it cannot completely defeat Goryeo, it will definitely create opportunities for other armies."

What Gao Xianzhi said was clear and logical, and what Zhou Yafu heard was nodding frequently, a bold and careful plan, and it was not low in feasibility.

"If this plan succeeds, I guarantee that you will become a fifth-grade general or above!" Zhou Yafu patted Gao Xianzhi on the shoulder with satisfaction. He admired such a thoughtful person.

After finalizing some details, Zhou Yafu selected more than 1000 shorter soldiers, looked disgraced and ran towards the Goryeo camp.

Gao Xianzhi did not go to the Chinese army camp, but just set out towards the Goryeo rear army camp.

He believed that as long as the words were slightly modified, those arrogant Goryeo soldiers would be easily fooled. As long as the first step was successful, even if Yeon Gaesumun noticed it afterwards, he would not have time to adjust.

Their plan was completely successful.

……

"General, when do we set off?"

Liu Laozhi was neatly dressed, looking at Xie Xuan who was not impatient and unhurried beside him, he didn't understand. Xue Li was already trapped in a tight siege and was about to prepare to fight to the death. How could he still be so calm?

"Hahahaha, General Liu, don't worry, my secret weapon is not ready yet." Xie Xuan said with a smile.

"Secret weapon?" Liu Laozhi was a little confused. He had memories of everything he and Xie Xuan should bring with them when they left the city. He had no memory of the secret weapon or anything like that.

"Report, thank you General, it's done!" Suddenly several messengers ran over to report.

"Very good, distribute it to the soldiers quickly!" Xie Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

"General, what do you mean?" Liu Laoyi looked at the soldiers scattering trees and straw everywhere in confusion.

"You'll know in a moment." Xie Xuan said with a mysterious expression.After distributing the trees, Xie Xuan led his troops in the dark and began to move forward, stopping not far from the Goryeo Right Army camp. That is to say, they could only get so close during the night, but there was a risk of being discovered any closer.

Next, what they have to wait for is the signals from other armies. They wait for Le Jin, Zhou Yafu and others to arrive at the agreed place. Only then can everyone take action together to achieve the best results.

On the other side, Le Jin and his Yanjia soldiers were standing there, waiting. To be honest, the food problem of the border soldiers was solved very well. Basically, there were few who suffered from night blindness, and they could see a lot of distance clearly at night.

The dark clouds in the sky obscured the moonlight, making it a bit difficult to see the five fingers of one's hand, but Zhang He didn't care, the Goryeo camp was clearly in front of them, they were not worried about not having a target, it was the Goryeo soldiers who should worry about the dark night.

After he personally visited the point, he determined that although this area was a plain, it was still the only way for the left army camp to support the former army camp, and it was also the best route for the former army camp to evacuate to the left army camp.

What they had to do was to follow the defeated soldiers of the former Goryeo army camp into the left army camp, create as much chaos as possible, and cover other troops to attack the central army camp.

"It's hard to fight! What do you think of Li Dianqian?" Le Jin looked at the Zuojun camp in the distance with a headache. The clouds all over the camp made him feel very troublesome.

The ants will bite the elephant to death. There are no less than 10 people in the Goryeo Left Army camp. With less than [-] troops in his hand, it will be very difficult for him to take advantage of them.

"Lao Le, just go ahead. General Zhou and General Xie are not more capable than us. Their arrangements are definitely right!" Li Dian said carelessly.

In the besieged city, Wu Han and Xue Li were discussing the details. The two of them could not lead many troops, and they had to leave enough to defend the city to prevent Yuan Gaisuwen from attacking the city.

After all, there are still tens of thousands of people in the city, and they cannot just leave and put the entire city's people in danger.

"You and I will fight out from the east and west gates respectively. The target is the front camp of Goryeo. Cooperate with other troops. When the time comes, we will be surrounded on all sides. Goryeo will definitely be in chaos. We will join forces and attack Huanglong."

Xue Li gestured on the map. Being beaten and suffering losses was not his style. This time he would make Yuan Gaisuwen regret coming to Youzhou.

"General Xue is a great talent, Wu Han should do his best!" Wu Han had no objection. Since Xue Li had a plan, he would just listen to Xue Li.

"It's a pity that there are no advisers to help in this battle, otherwise it will definitely be three points smooth." Xue Li looked at the sky with regret. The moonlight was bright but completely obscured by dark clouds. The effect of the night attack might not be very good.

If given a choice, he would prefer to attack in a relatively bright environment. After all, many accidents are prone to occur in darkness.

"Hahaha, General Xue, don't worry, just leave it to me to deal with the changes." Just when Xue Li was feeling regretful, Guo Jia came to the meeting hall.

With Liu Hua's military order in hand, Guo Jia had an unobstructed journey and went straight to the city lord's palace.

Xue Li was overjoyed to see Guo Jia. Liu Hua's group of advisers had left a big impression on them. Now that they came to Youzhou, they were really overjoyed.

"Mr. Fengxiao is here too! With your help, our army will have no problems in this battle!"

"Tonight the moon is bright but there are dark clouds. It is a good time to attack the camp. If my guess is correct, several other generals should be in place. Without further ado, the two generals will set off quickly and leave this city to me. Come and guard!”

Guo Jia was not polite and took over the command directly, urging Xue Li and Wu Han to set off.

"Don't worry, sir. We have already made preparations to set off before. We are just struggling with the problem of guarding the city. With sir guarding the city, we can set off soon. We will definitely not delay the fighter plane."

Xue Li quickly explained the plan of himself and others. Guo Jia nodded repeatedly. It was slightly different from his estimate, but it was basically the same.

"I didn't expect that Xue Rengui was actually a handsome man, but he was almost buried." Guo Jia thought to himself, mentally raising his evaluation of Xue Li.
