Chapter 961 Outside the City of Anshi
It was already June, and the city of Liaodong was all controlled by the Tang Dynasty. Li Ji killed nearly 15,000 Goguryeo prisoners of war in Liaodong City and then followed Li Er to join forces with Li Daozong who took the city of Xincheng. Hundreds of thousands of troops heading straight to Anshi City, and set up a camp eight miles southeast of the city, waiting for the 150,000 reinforcements from Goguryeo.
"Okay, don't mention the matter of the prince for now. Why haven't Mao Gong and Zhijie come here yet?" Li Er waited for a long time but didn't see Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui put forward any constructive opinions. He also knew that his problems seemed a bit difficult, so he rationally changed the topic.
Who knows who his son is? How could Li Er not know what kind of virtue Li Er is? Even Old Li himself can’t figure out the new terms that come out from time to time in Li Chengqian’s mouth, let alone Du Ruhui and others who didn’t have much contact with him. If you force it, it would be like having a child from a nun, and there would be no result.
Du Ruhui changed his mind with Li Er's mind. While secretly breathing a sigh of relief, he estimated the time and replied: "Your Majesty, Mao Gong and Zhijie's camp are quite far away from here, so it may take some time to get around."
"Let's wait a little longer! Anshi City is near. As long as you take this place, there will be no more solid city in Liaodong. Just wait for Qingyun (Dugu Qingyun) to seal the Yalu Water, and Liaodong can be completely under the control of the Tang Dynasty." After taking down two border cities of Goguryeo with no effort, Li Er's confidence began to expand, and he felt a little disdainful of the Liaodong City in front of him, and even began to feel that the Eastern Expedition could be over.
Fortunately, Changsun Wuji was still a little rational. After thinking about it, he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, don't take it lightly. Goguryeo's military strength is not much weaker than ours. Moreover, Anshicheng is the first strong city in Goguryeo after the pseudo Chang'an, and it is definitely not easy to capture it."
"Changsun, I want me to say that you are ambition to others and destroy your own prestige. The military strength of Goguryeo is strong and how strong can it be? You can't be stronger than the Sixteen Guards of the Tang Dynasty, right? In the eyes of Old Cheng, the small town of Shuer is nothing but a native chicken and a tile dog. If you want to get it, it can't be taken in a while!" Cao Cao came, and with the sound of a broken gong, a strong man with a big beard walked into the big tent. Who would have been if it were Cheng Yaojin?
"Don't make trouble when you know the truth. The city of Anshi is several meters high. There are tens of thousands of defenders in the city. In addition, the reinforcements coming soon, it is definitely not something that can be sent at any time. Don't mislead Your Majesty!" Li Ji, who followed Cheng Yaojin in, Duan Zhixuan and others pushed Cheng Lao Huo behind, as if he was careful about his words and deeds.
"What are you afraid of? You don't know about Zhenguan Cannon. If you drag the cannon in front and hit him for ten or eight days, you won't believe that you can't kill tens of thousands of them." Cheng Yaojin turned his head and glared at Li Ji, but he did not continue the remarks he had just made.
"Sit all!" Li Er shook his head helplessly. His own subordinates were like this. They were so excited when they mentioned the war. Just as Li Chengqian said once, they were all killers.
But the old man smiled, and after sitting down, he smiled like a night owl with a broken gong: "Your Majesty, I, Old Cheng, isn't it wrong, didn't that guy Chang'an say 'Shad despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically', I, Old Cheng, also attaches a little and value it."
"Chang'an boy" of course refers to Li Chengqian. Everyone knows this, but if you dare to say that, there are not many of the more than 20 people in the tent. It can even be said that in addition to Cheng Lao Huo, only Li Er and Changsun Wuji are qualified.
But there is no way. Who made Lao Cheng the father-in-law of Li Chengqian? He insisted on relying on his identity to be a veteran. The others were really helpless. Apart from glaring at him, they could only scold him as an old man.
"Okay, I have despised the enemy just now. Can Zhijie pay more attention to the enemy?" Li Er was not a good-looking lamp. He would not just look at Mr. Cheng's arrogant arrogant person. After a smile of praise, he asked him.
But the great His Majesty Li Er still underestimated Lao Cheng's shamelessness. A hint of embarrassment flashed across the old man's face, and then he said carelessly: "Well... Your Majesty, I, Lao Cheng, is not a person who eats alone. Old Cheng also understands the truth that the rafters are rotten first. I'd better give the opportunity to other brothers. I'll just start... and use it to throw jade and attract bricks."
Throwing jade to attract bricks? Throwing jade to attract bricks! If you are ignorant, you will be terrible if you throw jade to attract bricks! Li Er and a group of old killers looked at Cheng Lao Huo's hatred and wanted to beat him out with a smug look.
Finally, Changsun Wuji sighed and came out to break the strange atmosphere in the tent: "Your Majesty, all the generals are here now, and you can discuss matters!"
"Well, then start." Li Ershunpo agreed and glared at Cheng Yaojin again, then said: "What do you think of the 150,000 reinforcements sent by Gao Zangwu? Let's talk about them."
"Your Majesty, I believe that they must be wiped out of the city and that they must not be allowed to enter the city."
"I think it's possible to let them in. It's probably a long time for 150,000 people to enter the city. When they're halfway in, we'll attack them halfway."
"Fuck you, you think others are fools. Not to mention whether you can hold 150,000 troops in Anshi City, even if you really want to enter the city, the Goguryeo people would not be prepared? If Gao Yanshou fought with us at that time, it would be unknown who died and who would die."
"I don't believe that they dare to enter the city or camp if we set up a large formation outside the city."
Li Er let the old guys speak freely, and the big tent immediately became like a vegetable market. Dozens of old killers expressed their opinions and no one allowed them. Everyone thought that what they said was the truth and they would not give in. After you finished singing, I would appear, and the dirty words were endless. If the emperor had not been doing a full martial arts campaign.
"Shut up to me. They are all in their teens, so won't they talk well?" Li Er finally couldn't stand these old guys after tea time, so he slapped the table hard.
"Your Majesty, the number of reinforcements from 150,000 Goguryeo is not large. We can confront each other head-on and defeat them. Why do we need to discuss it? In my opinion, it is better to send two guards and crush them directly. I don't believe that the reinforcements sent by Gao Jianwu can be within fifty miles of Anshi City."
The person who spoke was Old Yuchi. This guy has never been a wise general. He is good at fighting and rushing hard, so in his opinion, 150,000 Goguryeo soldiers are not difficult to deal with. The army directly crushed and solved everything, and there was no need to discuss it.
