130 The Invasion Begins

Gongsun Bao went back, and he, a pig, reported to the Baekje royal court what he had seen with his own eyes, emphasized the fact that the Han army was strong and strong, and explained a fact to King Biliu who was seriously ill: "The Central Plains has a vast land and abundant resources. In a place with a large population, it is completely credible that Liu Yan has [-] troops. Even if the [-] troops are not as well-armed as those who landed, I am afraid they are not far behind."

Facts have proved that Ji Chang's arrogant attitude of telling lies, on the contrary, convinced Gongsun Bao who went to explore the truth.

"Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for the (later) Zhao court to be indifferent to the actual separatism, let alone ignore the marriage with the enemy (former) Yan, and even send troops to attack Goguryeo with the Yan army." Gongsun Bao said with a serious face: "As long as Han It is a good thing rather than a bad thing for us to attack Goguryeo if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not attack cities and territories in our territory."

After some discussion, and combined with Ji Chang, he came up with the idea that the Han tribe was taking advantage of the emptiness in the hinterland of Goguryeo and sent troops to burn, kill and loot, not to occupy the territory, etc. It sounded "frank and honest" that didn't sound like lies. You can imagine the monarchs and ministers of Baekje. What should be the state of mind?

The pontoon bridge on the Han River was completed, and the surrounding defense facilities were also set up, and the troops of the Han Dynasty began to deploy.

Although before the fleet was destroyed, there was no such thing as a cut off in the Han Dynasty, and other places were just more difficult to retreat, but they could still get on and off the ship, but the place that should be paid attention to should still be paid attention to.

There must be enough defensive force left at the landing point. After all, Baekje agreed to go to Goguryeo to grab a hand, but the Han Dynasty had to guard against Baekje.

In addition to the landing point, the crossing bridge of the Han River must also be paid attention to.

On the seventh day after landing, Gongsun Bao brought a Baekje army, the number is three thousand.

Looking at the military equipment of the Baekje army, it is slightly inferior to the auxiliary soldiers of the Han Ministry. At least the auxiliary soldiers of the Han Ministry definitely have the supporting equipment that they should have.

This discovery made the auxiliary soldiers of the Han Dynasty a little "rich", and they suddenly realized that they were not so bad.

However, the auxiliary soldiers of the Han Dynasty didn’t understand one thing so well. Sometimes equipment was only one of them. The army never just looked at the equipment to determine whether it could fight, otherwise there would not be so many barbaric destruction (conquest) civilizations in history.

"We don't belong to each other. After crossing the river, we will fight each other when we arrive in Goguryeo." Liu Yanke did not form an alliance with Baekje. He said, "You can follow if you want, but don't do anything that will cause misunderstanding."

The communication between the Han and Baekje was not fruitless, including the agreement that the Han would pay Baekje to buy a part of grain and grass. In addition, some other trades were finalized to eliminate the hostility between the two parties as much as possible.

The army led by Gongsun Bao himself came to monitor the Han. Even if they wanted to take advantage of Goguryeo's weakness to attack, they should reach an understanding before Silla. The attack route was in the middle of the Korean Peninsula, where Baekje The place where the army gathered was not on the west coast.

Liu Yan should be more confident, with an absolute confidence that he is not worried about Baekje's sudden "coming", the more this will make Baekje feel more afraid.He had a rigorous communication with Ji Chang, and learned the fact that Baekje and Goguryeo have been at war all year round. He can roughly guess that Baekje is happy to see someone willing to fight Goguryeo.

Baekje's attitude is dispensable to the Han. Unless it is found that Baekje has an army of more than [-] approaching, the Han army will not be afraid of the Baekje people's sudden attack.It was estimated that fifty soldiers from the Han Dynasty faced three hundred Baekje soldiers, and it was the result of World War I that easily defeated the Baekje people.

It is not an easy task for a large army to cross the bridge. Three thousand warriors cross the bridge first, guarded by six hundred tribal armed forces and one thousand warriors behind.

Ji Chang looked at Gongsun Bao with a smile: "It's your turn."

The [-] Baekje troops also crossed the bridge under the leadership of Gongsun Bao. It took them three full days to get to the other side. It can be seen that the organization of this troop really cannot be compared with that of the Han.

"Didn't you just procrastinate on purpose?" Li Tan said with a displeased face, "It's the equivalent of a county soldier. It's a waste of time, why not spend a day killing them all!"

Xiqian Jiantong was full of approval: "These barbarians are such a waste of time!"

Look, people born in the Central Plains are different. When looking at anyone from the "corner" areas, they can look up with contempt and say they are barbarians.

After crossing the river, the Han Dynasty had sent enough scouts, but it was simply that no large army gathered in Goguryeo, otherwise it was really possible to directly kill those Baekje troops who were stalling for time.

All in all, it took the Han tribe half a month from landing to crossing the Han River. It would be absolutely false to say that Liu Yan was not in a hurry.He also wanted to be more straightforward, but that would be tantamount to going to war with Baekje directly, and the gains outweighed the losses, so he could only let those burdens follow.

"Maybe it can be used." Ji Chang's attitude improved a little: "At least they can lead the way."

Wasting too much time could have resulted in a sudden sneak attack, but if Goguryeo hadn't reacted to those big moves, Goguryeo as a country would have been a bit inferior.

Since the Han River is within the territory of Baekje, Goguryeo is fighting hard with Qianyan, and Baekje has always been very careful about the infiltration of Goguryeo. Although the pontoon bridge built by the Han Dynasty on the Han River was noticed by Goguryeo, Goguryeo did not. Not sure about the exact situation.It was waiting for a total of [-] troops to approach the border of Goguryeo, and the "ambassador" of Goguryeo's border defense immediately reported the situation.

What is the situation in Goguryeo at this moment?The northern line was defeated again and again by the Yan army. The [-] Yan army swept across the northern border of Goguryeo on foot. Murong Hao himself had already approached Wandu. The trend of encirclement unfolded.Murong Han, Murong Ba, Murong Yu and other troops won consecutive battles, but Wang Yu actually lost to the Goguryeo army, which had fewer numbers than himself.

Who is Wang Yu?It was originally the general of Jin who had defeated Murong Ren from the Murong family, but later surrendered to Murong Xianbei.Wang Yu's current status in Qianyan is not low, and he is relatively well-off among Jin people, but his status is not as good as those so-called great scholars such as Feng Yi and Yang Yu who only have one mouth.

Of course, Liu Yan had no idea at what stage the war between Qianyan and Goguryeo was. After they entered Goguryeo, they had Gongsun Bao and the Baekje people as the "leading party", which led to the Han Dynasty taking three days to complete the war. It was very easy to clean up a dozen villages, robbed supplies, and arrested people.

Gongsun Bao believed that the Han tribe came to Goguryeo to burn, kill and loot. Only in this way can it explain that the Han tribe did not attack the city at all, but stared at the undefended villages in the wilderness.

"General, there are not many defenders in the city of Goguryeo. The elite under the general's command must be defeated in one battle." Gongsun Bao rolled his eyes and said in a colloquial way: "We join forces to attack the city, and the population and supplies in the city belong to the Han." Everything is owned by the Ministry, and the city belongs to us. How about it?"

Liu Yan asked very directly: "Then who will be the main force?"

Gongsun Bao said with a smile: "The elite under the general's command will naturally be the main force under the general's command."

Liu Yan rolled his eyes directly, as if he was too lazy to talk to Gongsun Bao.

Li Tan was signaled by Ji Chang's eyes, and said cursingly: "You think we are stupid? We attack the city, we kill the people, and get the wealth and population that belong to us, but the city is yours?"

Gongsun Bao was not angry, but still said with a smile: "Your tribe is here to gain wealth and population. Since you have no intention of occupying the city, why not give it to us as a gift to enhance the friendship between Baekje and Han tribe? "

Seems like that?

Liu Yan asked: "Gongsun Zhujia must also be familiar with the books of sages, right?"

Gongsun Bao's official name is too weird, but he himself is probably used to it and takes it for granted, so he won't have the urge to laugh when he hears it.He replied, "Naturally."

Liu Yan nodded: "That's no wonder."

It's really special. If you try to reason with Confucian scholars, especially great Confucians, you are definitely out of your mind!
