Chapter 533

(Thanks to the fisherman against the current, Jishi Fanshen V, Hunter, K, Tang Zi's support, thank you!)—

Yuguan, also known as Linyuguan, is the border of Ping and Yingzhou in the northeast, and is built on the Yu River. Yu River originated from the eastern foot of Yanshan Mountain, with abundant river water and rapid water flow. Therefore, in the third year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty, a pass was established here. To the east of Jieshi Mountain, later generations often misunderstood that Linyuguan was Shanhaiguan. In fact, Linyuguan was west of Shanhaiguan in later generations. At this time, the Shanhaiguan area was also affiliated with Yingzhou in western Liaoning and outside the pass.

Since the construction of the Pass in the third year of Kaihuang, Yuguan has become an important gateway between Hebei and outside the Pass, and is the northeast gate of the Youyan area. In the third year of Kaihuang, Yin Shou, the general manager of Youzhou, defeated the invasion of Gao Baoning, the remnants of Yingzhou of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the Goguryeo, Khitan, and the Mohe tribes jointly jointly by Gao Baoning. Since then, Yuguan has always been the most important gateway to the northeast of the Sui Dynasty. On the eastern foot of Yanshan Mountain and the west bank of the Yushui River, a dangerous city stands here. After Wei Chong, the general manager of Yingzhou, responded to Yang Guang's rebellion, Yingzhou east of Yuguan became a rebel, and Yuguan was no mistake. It became the front line of the northeast. At this time, Li Jing led a large army to the capital here.

In the center of Yuguan City, there is a bell and drum tower with bell tower in front and drum tower behind. The two floors stand together, collectively known as the bell and drum tower. On the top of the bell tower is a large bronze bell, and the soldiers and merchants and the people follow the evening drum and morning bells. Whenever there is a war alarm, the big bells on the bell tower ring, and the whole city is followed by martial law. Today, red lanterns are hung around the bell tower and colorful flags are erected, showing different days.

On the top of the bell tower, General of the Left Shenwu Guard, Assistant Minister of War, Marshal of Yanshan Road, and Marshal of Wuwei Li Jing sat on the chair with a long sword hanging on his waist. On the table next to him was a sling, holding a black piece in his hand, thinking hard at the chess game in front of him. Opposite to the team, the person holding the white piece was Fang Xuanling, the governor of the Yingzhou Procuratorate, and the person watching the game was Luo Yi, the commander of the Yingzhou Duke.

Fang Qiao led the chess game and smiled: "Today, the new emperor ascended the throne, and everyone celebrated together. It is rare that the marshal is so elegant and willing to talk to me about several games. Fortunately."

Li Jing was thinking about the chess game and raised his head, "Your Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne, and the world can finally settle down again. This is a blessing for the world. But on a happy day on the spot, I was elected as the marshal by Your Majesty and commanded tens of thousands of troops here. It has been delayed for many days, but I have not been able to kill a thief. I feel ashamed of my Majesty and am ashamed of the heavy responsibilities I bear."

"Your Majesty's arrangement is also for stability. After all, civil strife has occurred all over the past, and if you want to fight against foreign countries, you must first settle the internal affairs. At that time, let the Marshal guard Yuguan but not leave, it is a prudent point. In this way, you can defend the enemy outside the pass. Your Highness can go south to calm the chaos. Now the facts have proved that Your Majesty's decision is correct. The general successfully blocked 100,000 enemy troops outside the pass, while Your Majesty led a large army to quell the chaos in the country for three months. If the Marshal was asked to send troops directly to fight Goguryeo, the victory or defeat may not be known. If it wins, it will be good, but if it is defeated, then your Majesty's rear will be unstable." Fang Xuanling, the acting governor of Yingzhou, had never set foot on the land of Yingzhou after receiving the appointment. Wei Chong refused to obey the order and led Goguryeo soldiers into Yingzhou, resulting in Fang Xuanling being able to stay outside the border of Yingzhou.

Li Jing picked up the teacup and moistened his voice, "Your Majesty's order was wise at the beginning, but now Your Majesty has officially ascended the throne and the civil strife in the Central Plains has been quelled. I cannot sit here for the general appointed by Your Majesty to quell the rebellion. I think it's time to attack."

Luo Yi was not interested in chess. He had long been drowsy when he saw his two bosses playing chess. However, today Li Jing personally invited him to come, and he had to come. At this time, he heard that Li Jing and the others finally stopped talking about chess skills, and he immediately recovered his spirit. "But His Majesty's previous order was to stick to Guanzhong and not go out of Guanlang to fight without authorization. Now the new order has not arrived, we."

"To command troops outside, when the situation is being judged, your Majesty's will is naturally important, but we cannot implement it too rigidly, but we must judge whether to make adjustments based on the actual situation. The purpose is to finally fulfill the mission assigned to us by Your Majesty." Li Jing was unwilling to wait like this day. He felt that it was time to attack. The rebellion in the Central Plains had been quelled, and his plan to rebel Wei Chong just now lost a lot of money, which made him even more unable to continue to endure. Moreover, there are more than 100,000 troops in his hands, and the strength is still higher than that of the higher the number of troops.

The Juli people were dominant. What Li Jing couldn't wait the most was that although Goguryeo had been eroding west for many years, he only took the opportunity to steal the area east of the Liaohe River. Their covetousness of the western Liaohe region was ruthlessly repelled. But now, Wei Chong, who had defeated Gao Yuan, personally led Gao Yuan across the Liaohe River. Now Gao Yuan killed Wei Chong again and occupied western Liaohe. Li Jing was worried that the longer the Goguryeo people stayed in Yingzhou, the more they could control the western Liaohe region. He wanted to take the initiative to attack while the Goguryeo people were not yet stable in western Liaohe, defeat Gao Yuan and take back western Liaohe.

"The scouts in our army sneaked into Yingzhou and kept giving back. Now that Goguryeo killed Wei Chong, he has officially torn apart and began to send troops to plunder all over Yingzhou in western Liaoning, rob food, rob money, and even directly captured the people of the Han people in western Liaoning as slaves, preparing to take them back to Liaodong. These are our comrades and brothers and sisters, and we cannot let the Goguryeo succeed. I want to send troops immediately to rescue them into the pass."

"But Your Majesty has not issued an order to send troops. Besides, we are as strong as the Goguryeo people, and it is a bit risky to go to war at this time. If the court draws troops and horses, then there will be a greater chance of victory." Fang Xuanling's words were actually the current attitude of the court. He must fight Goguryeo and must take back Liaoxi. But the court did not want to start a war rashly, but should prepare for food, mobilize troops, recruit civilians, and study combat strategies at the same time. If we do not fight an unprepared battle, we will definitely send troops to defeat Goguryeo with absolute advantage, regain Liaoxi, and even regain Liaodong. It is not impossible to destroy Goguryeo. For the court, for the new emperor, they stood at a higher position, so they also looked further, and when making plans, they also thought longer and thought longer, and they must consider the overall situation.

"I can't wait for that long." Li Jing shook his head, "I can't wait for a day. If we can't send troops while the Goguryeo people are not yet stable, and when the court is ready, the Goguryeo people must have gained a foothold at that time. When the war is fought at that time, the price will be much higher. Moreover, the people in western Liaoning can't wait for that time."

Fang Xuanling and Luo Yi no longer spoke, and Li Jing's words made sense, not to mention that they were both civil and military officials in Yingzhou, but they have not been able to take office so far. If the court sent a large number of troops to defeat Goguryeo and then took office, maybe as Li Jing said at that time, Yingzhou would be dead.

Li Jing was not a timid person, and he had a risky nature at heart. When the Turks attacked Daibei, he was ordered by the prince to go south to rescue him. But he did not honestly go to Huaian to enter the city to help defend him. Instead, he boldly used mobile operations to fight each other, defeating each other, and even attacking support and other adventure tactics. Finally, he won one after another like a snowball, which eventually changed the battle situation of Daibei. At that time, he was only commanding thousands of troops. Now Li Jing is commanding nearly 100,000 Han and Fan people, how could he be lonely?

At this time, Fang Xuanling and Luo Yi were both interrupted by Li Jing's words, and their hearts were surging. After thinking for a while, they bowed together and said, "Since the Han and Jin Dynasties, Goguryeo has taken the opportunity to constantly surrender and avenge our Han family, and the four counties of Liaodong in the past in the Han Dynasty have now been occupied by Goguryeo. Now they want to seize our western Liaoning and have the ambition to covet Youyan. All the Han people cannot tolerate it. The marshal wants to leave the pass to eliminate the rebellion. We are willing to do our best to serve, but we are the pioneers."

A hint of emotion flashed in Li Jing's eyes. He slowly picked up tea from the table, took two big sips, and then said excitedly, "Li is very honored to have the help of two people."

At this time, a thud footsteps came, and the personal guards reported loudly: "Report to the marshal, the cavalry at the bottom of the pass came to report, and a large group of people were fleeing to Guancheng, and behind them were a large group of Goguryeo cavalry chasing them."

Li Jing stood up suddenly, "How many Goguryeo soldiers are pursuing? How far is the fugitive people from here?"

"There are hundreds of refugees, most of them Han people in Yingzhou, Dasu, and they are only more than ten miles away from us. There are about three hundred cavalrymen chasing them."

Li Jing slapped the table with a heavy palm, shaking the chess piece on the table high, "It's outrageous. The Eastern thief was too arrogant. He only came to 300 riders and dared to chase me down. He passed my command and immediately went out of the cavalry camp. Do not save the fleeing people, and cut off all the dog heads of the arrogant Liao dog people."

"Abide by the order!" The guard immediately took the order and turned away.

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jing, "Marson, the opportunity to send troops is here."

Li Jing nodded, "I will gather troops immediately and prepare to leave the customs."

"Master, Luo Yi is willing to be the striker. Please let a certain leader fight first."

After obtaining permission, Luo Yi immediately went downstairs and rode his horse to the military camp. He only ordered a group of five hundred cavalry and left the campyard and led his troops to rush outside the pass. After leaving the pass, he ran for several miles and saw dust flying in the distance. A group of people were fleeing with their elderly and young children. Not far behind them, hundreds of Goguryeo cavalry were coming with swords. They were getting closer and closer, and I am afraid that these people would be caught by them if they could not escape from the city.

Luo Yi turned around and shouted at the soldiers around him, "Dog Liao Gou doesn't take everyone seriously at all, can you bear it?"

"cannot!"

"Can you bear to chase our comrades and brothers and sisters in front of us without restraint?"

"cannot!"

"Very good!" Luo Yi urged the horse to walk to the horse team, drew out his cavalry sword, and waved forward, "What are you waiting for? Draw out your sword, follow me, and kill!"

"Kill!" Five hundred knights shouted in unison, like thunder and thunder. Luo Yi took the lead, and the flag bearer behind him held up the Luo character and followed the flag tightly. Behind were more warriors with high fighting spirit and murderous intent! (To be continued...)
