King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 107 Goguryeo Retreats

Li Lin smiled, "Haha, Lord Gongsunhou, haven't you been busy a few days ago? You may not know that I have captured your Xuanju County and other cities in Liaodong a few days ago, and Changli County Well... now most of them have fallen into the hands of Gongsun Zan! My lord, what do you think?"

Gongsun Du stared at him, "What did you say? You...Zhu Zi! You're lying!" Gongsun Du was already out of breath.

Li Lin smiled, "Haha, good! Since you think I'm lying, then let the soldiers go out now, and I won't send anyone to stop them, let him see if your Liaodong is still there?"

Gongsun Du's eyes were red, he stretched out a finger, and pointed at Li Lin on the top of the city, "You..." Before he could say a word, he spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.

There was a sound of shouting "Hou Ye!" from the top of the city, and Li Lin rode his horse back to the camp silently, and said to Yan Ju, "What a fart! Siege the city!"

Yan Rou came to her senses and quickly directed everyone to attack the city. Li Lin looked at the soldiers who were rushing forward, smacked his lips, and muttered, "This old Gongsun looks like a bear, why don't you surrender?"

As the saying goes, the underdog must win!Unexpectedly, the army of Gongsundu, whose morale was low, repelled the army of Li Lin and King Goguryeo again. After another day, Goguryeo finally received the news of an accident in his lair behind him. Enter to rectify the army and prepare to retreat.

Li Lin came to King Goguryeo's camp immediately after learning about it. He pretended not to want King Goguryeo to withdraw his troops, and said with a mournful face, "Father! My son-in-law and you have been around for a long time. Seeing that Xiangping City is about to be captured, you It’s time to retreat. Isn’t this making our siege for so long a lot of casualties useless? Father, don’t withdraw your troops easily, and I hope you think twice……” Li Lin’s tone was sincere and his expression was sincere, looking at King Goguryeo. There are really some unbearable.

But after all, this is not my apprentice, my hometown is the root, I can't let my lair be attacked and ignore it, and covet the big man's city here!Isn't this old and confused?
The King of Goguryeo said earnestly, "My son-in-law, you really don't understand. Xianbei Budugen has already commanded an army to attack our land, and I came here with soldiers from all over the country to help my son-in-law crusade against Gongsundu, so the country is empty. Budugen probably won't be long. Afterwards, they will go to the city of Wandu, which is the root of my king, and I can't ignore it! So I hope my son-in-law understands..."

Li Lin cried, "Father! Isn't Xiangping City not as tall and magnificent as your Wandu? As long as Xiangping City is captured, Xiangping City will be your new capital, Father. Now as long as we concentrate our efforts to take Xiangping City, Father Wang must have gained more than lost!"

"This..." King Goguryeo hesitated, but then he thought again, isn't this nonsense, there are wives and children in his capital, and he can't let it go, can he give in and plunder Dugen?
The King of Goguryeo said firmly, "No! Wandu is my foundation for many years. There is your mother and your unmarried wife there! Don't you even want them?"

Li Lin immediately pretended to be embarrassed, "This...but, father, we have an agreement first!"

King Goguryeo said angrily, "Promise, promise! Is a broken promise more important than my foundation? I have decided to immediately retreat and fight back against Budugen!"

Li Lin also looked furious, "Father, if you leave like this, you are not putting me in a dangerous place. There are still many soldiers in Xiangping City, and I have few soldiers. If Gongsun Du goes out of the city to attack Me, didn't all my efforts go to waste?"

King Goguryeo said, "That's your business. If I don't retreat now, I won't even have a way out. You'd better go. If you don't, you and I will withdraw together. When the king repels Bu Dugen and cultivates himself, Let’s attack Xiangping City together with my son-in-law!”

Li Lin's eyes widened, "Hmph! By that time, I don't know when the sky is? What is the earth! Since King Guochuan is unwilling to fulfill the agreement, so slender, I will get it myself!" After finishing speaking, Li Lin flicked Sleeve, walked away angrily, not enough to get out of the king's tent, but a wicked smile appeared on Li Lin's mouth.

Although King Guochuan reluctantly tore up the contract with Li Lin, he was in the middle of Li Lin's treachery, but he had no choice but to send troops outside. He was most afraid that the backyard would catch fire and his family would be gone. How could he fight outside?

Seeing King Guochuan's retreat, Li Lin watched happily from a distance, while Yan Rou was also very happy, but her face was full of sadness, "Yuan Jie, Goguryeo has retreated, we only have more than 4000 soldiers under Xiangping City, how come Can you hold on? Are you going to let Gongsundu go?"

Li Lin said unhappily, "Let Gongsundu go? Grandma! This time, I must see people alive and dead bodies! Our current soldiers will be divided into four and this place will be the main one. Don’t dare to act rashly, some of the reinforcements we sent out will come back in a few days, that’s enough, once the elite that Xu Liang took away arrives, we will be guaranteed!”

Yan Rou nodded, and hurried back to make arrangements. Li Lin was still on the hillside looking at the leaving Goguryeo army below, muttering, "Quack, Xiao Mian, you left by yourself, I didn't drive you away, if Don’t be greedy when you see that you’ve taken this place, you’re shameless asking me for it! Hahahaha……”

Sure enough, Li Lin did not attack the city for three consecutive days, and Xiangping City was also silent. Gongsun Du was already very weak, lying on the bed and listening to the people below report the situation outside the city.

After Gongsundu listened, "Hehehe, God helped me this moment! Goguryeo really retreated, and Li Yuanjie was short of troops, and now he is just playing tricks. He definitely has no more than five thousand soldiers outside the city! Li Yuanjie , if you want me to die, let's see who will die!"

At this time, I saw a voice, "Father, I would like to lead elite soldiers to attack Li Lin's big tent at night and kill Li Lin, so that the enemy army will be in chaos and will surely retreat. When the time comes, my child would like to bring elite cavalry to chase and kill him. A big victory is certain, and when the time comes, our army will regain its momentum, take down Le Lang in one fell swoop, and unify the four counties in Liaodong!"

Everyone saw that it was Gongsun Du's second son, Gongsun Gong. This son was very brave. He pleaded for orders a while ago and led people to attack the Goguryeo camp at night. It was the Goguryeo soldiers who suffered heavy losses. Fart, praise the young master for being resourceful.

Gongsun Du thought for a long time, and slowly said, "Now, this is the only way to win. If it has been a long time, when Li Lin moves reinforcements to the city, we will have no hope at all!"

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Du supported himself up strongly, Gongsun Gong immediately stepped forward to help Gongsun Du up, Gongsun Du said weakly, "My child, you are my only hope now, look at your elder brother... ...Hey! You have been hurt so badly, now father's foundation can only be in your hands, you must keep our Gongsun family's foundation!" Gongsun Du held Gongsun Gong's hand tightly.

Gongsun Gong said sincerely, "Father, don't worry, the child will remember his father's words, and will bring Li Lin's head to his father! Liaodong will definitely belong to our Gongsun family!"

Gongsun Du touched Gongsun Gong's face, and nodded in relief, "It seems that Liaodong has a promising future! My child, you must be careful!"

Gongsun Gong looked at Gongsun Du's expectant eyes, nodded fiercely, got up and put Gongsun Du on the bed, knelt down in front of Gongsun Du and kowtowed three times, immediately got up and walked out the door without even looking back. .

It was night, and Li Lin's camp was still quiet without any movement. The gates on all sides of Xiangping City opened slowly, revealing a small crack. Gongsun Gongsun wrapped his horse in a cloth, and quietly approached Li Lin's camp. Li Lin's camp is right in the middle of the camp outside the north gate of Xiangping City. Although there are many tents in the camp, according to Gongsun Gong's estimation, there will never be more than 2000 people in the camp. The only elite 2000 cavalry left, because a lot of cavalry was lost outside the valley last time, and there were not many cavalry who escaped back, but these 2000 people wanted to sneak attack a camp with less than 2000 people. Quite enough.

Gongsun Gong gave the people around him a look, and saw two black shadows rushing out of him, and quickly moved into the gate of the camp. After a while, he saw the black shadows waving to this side, and the corner of Gongsun Gong's mouth was happy, "Hey! Got it!" Already!"

Gongsun Du beckoned, and the 2000 ambush soldiers immediately launched an attack, "Kill!..." Gongsun Gong rushed into Li Lin's camp while shouting to kill, and went straight to the middle tent, which is where Li Lin is located. Gong silently said, "Li Lin, today, I will kill you! I will kill you!"

Seeing that he was about to rush to the door of Li Lin's tent, Gongsun Gong suddenly felt something was wrong, "Why is there not even one person in Li Lin's camp?" Gongsun Gong immediately stopped his horse and looked around.

Gongsun Gong went "thump!" in his heart, "No! It's been tricked!" Gongsun Gong shouted.

Dozens of people came out of Li Lin's big tent, the leader was a white-faced general who was Li Lin's personal bodyguard, Fang Fang, and after the camp, several hundred cavalry slowly came out, The black armor, the black horse, only showed two eyes, staring bloodily at Gongsun Gong and the others. The leader was Hou Yu, and the banner with the word "bloody killing" was particularly obvious even in the dark.

Fang Fang put his long spear on the ground and said, "Hehe, general, don't hesitate to dismount and accept your surrender! Your plot has long been seen through by my lord!"

Gongsun Gong looked around again, there were hundreds of soldiers coming out, and there was no one else, but since Li Lin knew that he would sneak attack, how could there be no ambush in the camp? You can surrender, or die! '.

Gongsun Gong roared angrily, "Hmph! I am the prince of the Marquis of Liaodong, how can I surrender to you! Hmph! Today, I will fight to the death!"
