The country is not as pretty as the beauty

In the third year of Yuzhen, at the beginning of May, Li Ji and Tiandaozong defeated 4 enemy troops and attacked Liaodong City day and night. It has been [-] days, but Liaodong City has still not been captured.

The Son of Heaven led the Tiance Army to meet Li Ji at the foot of Liaodong City, surrounded Liaodong City several times, and personally commanded the battle.

"Due to the dangerous terrain, Liaodong City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We have been attacking for twelve days in a row." Li Ji reported exactly.

"Great victory for the navy, General Zhang has conquered Beisha City!" In the military tent, the soldiers who risked their lives to deliver the message gasped.

The army is overjoyed, and now Goguryeo is under attack from both sides, and both sides are very busy.

Zhang Liang captured Beisha City and captured 8000 Goguryeo men and women.

Liaodong City is still stuck here, Tian Wuhen looked at the sand table, the terrain of Goguryeo is complex...

Liaodong City is right in front of you, but the generals defending the city are afraid of the man-eating ferocity of Dasu's army, so they stick to it.

Tian Wuhen went out of the tent and looked at the terrain near Liaodong City. When the wind passed by, his hair was blown, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Mayday...it's summer, and the south wind...!"

Tian Wuhen looked to the southwest of Liaodong City, and there were many dry trees down the mountain.

"Li Ji, Li Ji!"

Li Ji was still working hard on the method of defeating the enemy, when suddenly the emperor called him urgently and hurried out.

"His Majesty?"

"Southern wind, it's southerly wind, quickly send people to the mountain stream to chop dry firewood, and set fire to the southwest building of Liaodong City." Tian Wuhen shouted overjoyed.

"only!"

In the summer of May, when the Zhengzheng south wind prevailed, the Dasu army led the dry firewood to the southeast of Liaodong and set it on fire by the mountains. The weather in May was extremely hot and windy in Liaodong, and the fire quickly spread to the city of Liaodong.

There was a fire in Liaodong City, Li Ji led his army to attack the city, Tian Wuhen watched from the command platform under Liaodong City.

The fire in Liaodong City was raging, and the smoke was billowing, choking the Goguryeo soldiers to lose their combat ability.

The climbing ladder was lowered smoothly, Tiandaozong, Li Ji, and other generals climbed the city to fight.

In half a day, the gates of Liaodong City were opened wide, and Dasu's army entered, beheading more than 1 people and capturing 4 people.

After conquering Liaodong City, the Son of Heaven entered the city, entered the City Lord's Mansion, and rewarded the three armies.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. If it weren't for Your Majesty's strategy, I'm afraid I don't know when we will be able to conquer Liaodong City." Li Ji is known as a think tank, but he was trapped here for twelve days, and he was ashamed to say it.

"The time and place are right and the people are harmonious. It's just a coincidence. God helps me to kill the thieves!"

"How about Liaodong City?"

Tian Wuhen thought for a while, since it has been taken, it is the land of Dasu. Of course, according to Dasu's system, "list it as Liaozhou, the people are innocent, and settle down the people in the city."

"only!"

After a few days of rest, the emperor ordered to attack Baiyan City.

Both Beisha City and Liaodong City were lost, and the whole country of Goguryeo was shocked. Molizhi Mansion was surrounded by hundreds of officials.

Yuan Gaimu was shocked inside the mansion, and outside the mansion was the royal family headed by Bao Wangzang.

"The land of Goguryeo is lost, we are ashamed to treat the ancestors of the Gao clan!"

There were cries and curses outside the house.

However, Yuan Gaijin had no time to take care of the group of stubborn old people outside the mansion, so they could only curse at most and could not threaten him.

"Come here, quickly pass on the military order, ordering Black Bone City to send reinforcements to support Baiyan City."

"Yes!"

Far water can't quench the near thirst, and it will take time for Gao Yanshou and Gao Zhenhui's army to reach Anshi. Yuan Gaijin tried to delay the speed of the Su army breaking the city, so he had to transfer troops from nearby cities.

In a hurry for eight hundred miles, Black Bone City sent more than 1 people out of the city to support Baiyan City.

"Your Majesty, Goguryeo led [-] troops to support Baiyan City." The scout came back to report the situation.

Riding on the horse, Tian Wuhen looked back at the gathered generals.

"Yuan Gaijin has sent 10,000+ troops to support Anshi. This move is undoubtedly to delay time."

Baiyan City is the barrier of Anshi, so why doesn't the emperor know it.

"So what about 1 people, Your Majesty, Chen Qibi He Li is willing to lead [-] cavalry to repel the incoming army."

The emperor looked back, um~ it was general Hu, he sent three general generals to march this time, but this made Zheng's family vulnerable and speeded up the cooperation with King Jin.

The Son of Heaven would rather trust and use foreigners than members of the Zheng family. What does that mean?

In the early days of the founding of Dasu, there were many countries around, and there were many small tribes in the northern border. This Qibi Heli was also a khan in a tribe, and later led his troops to the Shunsu Dynasty.

It goes without saying that the Hu people are brave, it goes without saying that Qibi Heli followed Gou Jun to destroy the Gaochang Kingdom, so Tian Wuhen valued him and took him in for use.

People who are not of our race must have a different heart. The emperor is a Han, so he uses Han people. There are people inside and outside the Dasu court, but there are not many people who need jobs. How does Qibi know that to make the emperor trust and use him, he must rely on loyalty and integrity. .

"allow!"

Qibi Heli ordered [-] troops to stop Goguryeo's reinforcements.

Tiandaozong led [-] against [-], Qibi Heli led [-] against [-], do you want to follow suit?

"Your Majesty! 800 people, this... During the great war, the position of the Marching Chief is very important, and General He Li is the Tie Le Army..."

"He is my subject, since he wants to express his intentions, I will watch carefully."

Li Ji is not talking.

"Prepare!"

"The minister is here."

"Lead a team of people to support!"

"only!"

Li Ji heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the emperor's words.

Xue Wanbei led a team of troops and rushed to support them. Qibi Heli rushed into Goguryeo's position, and the Goguryeo army panicked.

The Su army is always taken by surprise, and the general never dreamed that the Su army would come to rob the army.

In the panic, he saw that although the opponent was restraining his own cavalry, fortunately there were not many of them, so he ordered a counterattack.

The bravery of Hu Bing was beyond the reach of Goguryeo soldiers, but they were superior in numbers, the south wind was howling, and it was such a hot day, the blood and sweat inside the armor softened together.

Qibi Heli is still human after all, and there are also outstanding generals in Goguryeo, and the spear pierced his waist.

After piercing the Mingguang armor, blood flowed out along the spear, and dripped onto the corpse of a Goguryeo soldier.

Qibi Heli opened his eyes angrily, and with a loud coax, he grabbed the spear that had pierced him with one hand, picked up the man, and took off the head.

Several enemy generals surrounded him, but he refused to accept. Could it be that he is not as good as a junior?

"General He Li, all preparations are coming!"

Xue Wanbei rode into the army alone, and Lieutenant General Qibi Heli was rescued by Yu Wanjun.

The rescued Qibi Heli was even more murderous, tied up the wounded and bleeding waist and abdomen with ribbons, and together with Xue Wanbei led the rest of the cavalry to fight.

The generals of the Goguryeo army were killed, and the dragons fled without their heads and abandoned their flags. He Li and Xue Wanbei chased for dozens of miles, beheaded thousands of people and returned.

After defeating the reinforcements, the emperor was overjoyed, and the emperor personally visited Qibi Heli's camp.

"When I return from this battle, I will reward you, you have suffered!"

Qi Bi He Li was too busy to kneel down.

Outside the account, Li Ji was praising Xue Wanbei, "Wan Bei's bravery, it seems that you are not weaker than your elder brother now."

"Brother's bravery is unmatched!" The elder brother Xue Wanbei was talking about was Xue Wanche.

When the emperor came out, his face was full of smiles, which made Li Ji wonder, obviously the emperor cared about everyone under him, but sometimes he pretended to be indifferent.

The Son of Heaven patted Xue Wanbei on the shoulder and didn't say much.

If he didn't appreciate Xue Wanbei, he wouldn't have kept him in front of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty treated General He Li before..." Li Ji thought that the emperor changed his face too quickly.

Tian Wuhen still smiled, "He has made such great achievements in this way, so I am lucky to be in the court of the Han people, and the Zheng family will use him in front of them!"

What the emperor meant was that he wanted to use the Hu people in front of the Zheng family, but not your Zheng family.

The generals brought out this time are many heroes who founded the country, and many veterans who were dismissed by the late emperor for no reason.

Undoubtedly, the emperor wanted to replace some of the generals in the court.

Only then did Li Ji understand what the other purpose of the emperor's Eastern Expedition was.

The rescued Goguryeo has been breached, and then the emperor ordered an attack on Baiyan City.

Divided into two routes, attacking left and right, Li Ji led his army to attack the southwest of Baiyan City, and Tianzi led his army to attack the northwest.

Sun Daiyin, the lord of Baiyan City, heard that more than 1 reinforcements were attacked by 800 Dasu cavalry, and he was frightened in the city.

So he sent people to ask for surrender, and the emperor overjoyed to accept Baiyan City's surrender and prepared to lead his army into the city.

As the soldiers approached the city, the emperor asked Xue Wanbei to shoot a flying arrow as a token, but Sun Daiyin repented, "I am willing to surrender, but there are those in the city who will not obey."

Tian Wuhen frowned, everyone knows that the city lord is willing to surrender, and he still cares what the people below do, so it is undoubtedly because you don't want to.

People in Goguryeo didn't know that Emperor Dasu hated unbelievers the most.

But if he doesn't surrender, he won't be able to attack for a while, Tian Wuhen put away his superficial anger, "Wanbei, go to the general and take down all the banners of Dasu, and hand them over to the envoys of Baiyan City."

Xue Wanbei didn't know what the emperor was going to do, but he did it anyway.

Tian Wuhen clamped the horse's belly, and Qing Zai stepped forward, "Those who wish to surrender, raise the flag on the city to signal!"

As a result, the banner of Dasu was erected on the city tower, and the people in the city thought that the soldiers had already entered the city, and they panicked and surrendered. Only then did Sun Daiyin realize that he had been tricked, so he had to surrender.

Baiyan City collapsed without attack, and the emperor led the way into the city, and Baiyan City was soon under the control of the Su army.

He hadn't prepared to attack at all, but Tian Wuhen was furious at Goguryeo's repetition, raised the reins, and Qing Zou turned around and shouted at the army: "Li Ji, Li Ji, send an order to get the city and be informed of the people, reward warriors."

Li Ji knew that the emperor hated people who turned back, but the emperor had already accepted the surrender, and what's more, Yu Dasu's reputation would be extremely bad for such an approach, and the common people would not be blamed.

So Li Ji led a group of generals to dismount and kneel in front of the emperor, begging to take back the will.

"The Goguryeo people are biased, and you still plead for mercy?"

"Your Majesty, the reason why the soldiers are fighting for the arrow stone, regardless of their dead, and they are greedy for their ears. The city will be destroyed, but why should they be surrendered? The heart of a lonely soldier!" Wherever he went, there must be complaints everywhere, chilling the hearts of the soldiers who were willing to surrender in Goguryeo.

Tian Wuhen was originally angry. Hearing the pros and cons of Li Ji's analysis, he has always spread his benevolence and filial piety all over the world, and realized that he almost caused a catastrophe.

So he got off his horse and helped Li Ji, "What the general said is very true. I can't bear to let the soldiers kill and capture their wives. I will reward those who have made meritorious service under the general's command with the treasury. I will redeem this city because of the general."

Thanks to Li Ji, Baiyan City was saved from the fire and water, and Li Ji withdrew after he was relieved.

The emperor accepted Sun Daiyin's surrender, took Baiyan City as Yanzhou, made Sun Daiyin the governor, and Gaimu City as Gaizhou.

In this way, most of Goguryeo's land fell into the hands of Dasu.

In Pyongyang City, news of the clan's suicide came one after another. Yuan Gaijin went to the palace to discuss, but did not reply to the accusations of the ministers.

Instead, he threw his golden knife in front of them...

This is his answer.

The news of the clan's suicide spread throughout the capital, and now everyone in Goguryeo is panicking.

But Yuan Gaijin was still unwilling to ask for surrender, he clenched the knife in his hand, and confronted Da Su until death!

The author has something to say: In the next chapter, the Eastern Expedition is over, and Yuan Shiqi is about to come out.

There is going to be trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, and the king of Qi is also going to have trouble.
