Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 166 Letting You Snatch Qu Yuan
The two armies do not kill the envoy when they fight, and if they do, they will never die...

After all, An Juping Wulu can only be done by a "monster", Duan Hongchen sighed, the negotiation was a complete failure.

But it wasn't a failure, four of the five messengers died, and the one from the Xi clan hadn't returned yet.But Duan Hongchen would not place his hopes there, because even if the negotiations there were successful, if none of the Xi people came, it would not have much impact on the defense of the city.The biggest threat is the Koreans and the coalition forces of the three small countries.

If you want to fight, then fight!

Duan Hongchen is determined, but he can't help but look towards the direction of the sea, and the person watching with him is Bao Qilan.

Going east and then north, after three days and three nights of non-stop sailing, Xu Qingxiang finally saw a line of land.It's just that the shadow of this land is not in the northeast as Xu Qing guessed, but in the northwest.Xu Qing was sweating profusely. If he had walked faster, he would have almost missed the Liaodong Peninsula.

Walking along the coast, I found a place where there are people, and sent a small boat down to ask for directions. The residents on the shore said: "Bohai, Bohai, this is the country of Bohai!"

Xu Qing heard what the returning boat had said, and felt that the Bohai Kingdom had not been forgotten in the hearts of ordinary people.After knowing the location, Xu Qing did not choose to go ashore immediately, but sent Yang Cheng and Yang Xin to take all the members of the underground river ashore, and spent a day collecting all the information that could be collected.He took Cangzhou, Huanghua, Haixing, and three warships up the river.

Xu Qing went straight to the close intersection of Gaoli Bangzi and Liaodong, because Xu Qing also had a premonition that in this battle, Gaoli Bangzi was the greatest threat.If this iron plate can be broken by surprise, Xu Qi's pressure can be reduced by half.

A day later, Yang Xin issued a signal on a bank, which meant that the place was safe and he could go ashore.Xu Qing then let the Chu River drop anchor and stop the boat, and transported troops ashore.

Large ships cannot approach the shore, because the water on the shore is shallow, and if they get too close, they will be stranded.Once it runs aground, the big ship will not be able to move, and if something happens at that time, it will be dangerous.So they could only use small boats to transport troops one after another, and it took half a day to transport the soldiers ashore and set up a simple barracks.It took another half a day to transport the food and grass and put them in the barracks. This is the bridgehead of Xu Qing's conquest in Liaodong.

It took five days to mobilize troops and supplies from Cangzhou, and then to set off, back and forth, and finally arrived in Liaodong.

Not long after Xu Qing went ashore, Yang Cheng also came back. He had investigated clearly the situation Xu Qi was facing, the location and quantity of the Xi Clan, the Allied Forces of the Three Small Nations, and Goryeo Bangzi.Surprisingly, Gaoli Bangzi's camp was less than fifty miles away from them.

Goryeo Bangzi has [-] reinforcements, and the equipment is the same as that of the Central Plains soldiers. They are all left over from the defeat of Emperor Yang, the prodigal son of the last time, and they are all a bit old.Xu Qing smiled when he learned about it, these sticks didn't even have the technology to re-smelt them, so such good iron armor can only be left to make it obsolete.

The enemy's situation has been investigated clearly, and the second general Chujiang Qitai was quickly called to discuss the strategy of breaking the ground.

Chu Jiang's opinion is: "There is no Tang army in Liaodong. Now we attack, that is called surprise. Only ambush can make use of this advantage..."

Qi Tai said: "They come from a long distance, they must have a lot of food and grass, they can take their food and grass, and feed on the enemy..."

In the end, the three came to the conclusion that "you can fight, you should fight, you must fight".Xu quickly ordered a night attack on the Goryeo Bangzi barracks.

200 people were left to guard the boat and food, and the remaining [-] people only took food and grass for three days. They set off in the afternoon and ran for fifty miles.

Since there was no horse, Xu Qing, as the supreme commander, could only rush on two legs. After fifty miles, he was completely behind the main force.Fortunately, Xu Qing had already ordered Chujiang Qitai to lead the troops forward.

Now Xu Qing is only surrounded by Xiaoyue and members of Anhe.It was already midnight at this time, Xu Qing's whole body was drenched with sweat, and a slight cool breeze blew over, which relieved his fatigue a little.But when Xu Qing wanted to run again, his legs felt weak and he couldn't move anymore.

Xu Qing's physique is much better than that of the white-collar workers of the later generations, and he is much stronger than the scribes around him, but he is still a lot worse than the sergeants. Women are also far behind.

Yang Cheng and Yang Xin found a hillside and helped Xu Qing to rest there.Huang Shimei was also out of breath, and sat beside Xu Qing, taking out some snacks for him to eat.The snacks were too dry, and Xu Qing couldn't stop coughing after eating. Huang Shimei took out another bottle of water and fed it to Xu Qing.After recovering, Xu Qing realized that Huang Shimei had brought so many things. The key was that she was not as tired as he was with carrying so many things. Xu Qing felt ashamed and said, "Shimei, I really..."

But before she finished speaking, Huang Shimei threw herself on Xu Qing, quickly covered Xu Qing's mouth, and said in a low voice, "Shh...someone..."

Looking at Yang Cheng and Yang Xin next to him, the figure flickered, and he had already swooped out, the knife was unsheathed, and the crossbow was put on the shelf!

The dark night is boundless, the river world!
Dark River is engaged in investigation, spying, assassination, and lurking in these things. Now that it is in a strange place, it is naturally full of energy.The wind blows and the grass moves, insects and frogs

It all fell into their hearts.

They sensed someone talking on the other side of the hillside...

Immediate action, Yang Cheng led half of the people forward to search, while Yang Xin's half searched in the opposite direction, in order to avoid the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

Half of the people who came forward to investigate did not rush to kill, but quietly stepped forward to observe secretly.

I crouched in the bushes and took a closer look, only to find two people muttering there.Looking at their hands, one was carrying a wooden box, and the other was carrying a sack. When the two said this, they couldn't help but began to cry.Yang Cheng felt baffled, observed for a while, and found that although the absence of those two was strange, there was no threat.Leaving one person to watch, Yang Cheng asked Xu Qing himself, and then quietly withdrew.

Several days later, Xu Qing found out that the two people he met that night were messengers sent by Duan Hongchen to negotiate with Gao Li Bangzi.These two were the followers of the courier. After the courier was beheaded, he let them go and asked them to take the body back.That night, when they walked halfway, they felt sad, tired and unable to see the way, so they sat there and cried, but they were bumped into by Xu Qing.Of course, Xu Qing was even more surprised by Huang Shimei's detective ability, which was comparable to that of Anhe!
The night before dawn is extremely deep, and nocturnal animals are also asleep. The night is too dark, and you can't see your fingers.

When Xu Qing found Chu Jiang and the others again, they had been resting next to the Korean barracks for an hour.

Taking a breath, Xu Qing divided the members of the Underworld into two, and some of them lurked close to the Allied Forces of the Three Small Nations, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate their leader.The other part went to the rear of the three small countries and assassinated their monarchs. The coalition forces of the three small countries almost left them with no soldiers to defend.

On this side, the raid went according to plan.

Chu Jiang led a surprise attack from the left with 500 people, first approached as close as possible, quietly killed his sentry post, and seized his gate.But this Goryeo stick is not a gangster from Cangzhou after all, and their security system is relatively complete.It's just that one or two sentry posts were killed, and the alarm was issued immediately, there were secret posts!
Chu Jiang and the others had no choice but to attack.Fortunately, Gaoli Bangzi was still in a deep sleep and did not respond to Chu Jiang's attack in time, which gave Chu Jiang a big advantage.

After seizing the gate, Qi Tai had already led his troops to the back of the Goryeo Bangzi barracks.

Bangzi's camp is a row camp, and the walls are very simple, but they are surrounded by antlers, horses and empty carts.If there are guards behind the wall, it’s okay, and the wall can be used as a shelter. If there is no one, it’s just a bunch of fences, and the gaps are too big to keep chickens out.

That's why Chu Jiang was able to take down the gate without any effort, and rushed to take advantage of the stick to kill the Quartet.But the one that was really cheap was Qi Tai who led his troops around to the back of the camp.

Gaoli Bangzi was not slow to react. After Chu Jiang killed for a while, they also formed a formation and began to counterattack in an orderly manner.There are more than [-] Koreans, and they are well-equipped, and they are evenly matched with Chujiang all at once.But at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and when they realized it, arrows more than a foot long had been inserted into their backs!Qi Tai appeared.

Qi Tai led his troops over the wall, first killed the remnants of the enemy in the barracks, then quietly went to the front, set up a bow and shot arrows, and fired three arrows in a row!
Since the formation of the sticks was very neat, and Qi Tai ordered his soldiers to shoot flat, there was no need to worry about accidentally injuring Chu Jiang and the others who were fighting in front.Shooting three arrows in a row, that is three thousand arrows, and shooting arrows at their backs by surprise, the killing rate is even greater.Three arrows hit one person, that is also a thousand lives, and the stick was blinded by the rain of arrows.

He was sleeping soundly, but was suddenly woken up by a night raider, and hurriedly responded to the battle. When the battle was in full swing, a rain of arrows came from behind.This is not a surprise, this is a wave of reminders!

The stick was messed up, and Chu, Jiang, and Qitai took the opportunity to attack with their troops, and smashed it in one fell swoop.

At the end of the night, the horrific killings had stopped. This time was also the time when Duan Hongchen saw the corpses of the four messengers and looked towards the sea expectantly.Of course he didn't know that at this time Xu Qing had already arrived in Liaodong and wiped out the Bangzi reinforcements...

"I call you to step into my land of China!"

"Calling you into a mess!"

"Tell you to rob me, Qu Yuan!"

"Tell you to cause me to come all the way!" Xu Qing brandished the iron whip, and beat the prisoner with bruises and bruises all over his body, venting all his stagnation.

Huang Shimei saw that Xu Qing's face was much more relaxed, she walked up to Xu Qing and said, "Brother Xu, I saw you beating and scolding just now... Uh, interrogating those captives, who do you think they are?"

Xu Qing spread his hands, put on a look of "you will never understand but I will tell you" and said: "Korean stick..."

Huang Shimei continued to ask: "What is Korea? What is a stick?"

"Korea, the one that Yang Guang fought three times in the former Sui Dynasty and failed to win. From here, you can go east along the sea... As for Bangzi, I don't know why, maybe it looks similar?"

"Three expeditions by Emperor Yangdi? Isn't it the Goguryeo that was conquered? Why is it Goryeo? Brother Xu remembered it wrong..."
