Chapter 526: Li Chengqian's request for help (two in one)

"Report, Liaodong City urgently reported that Huaiyuan City was raided by the enemy, and General Li's army of 50,000 was trapped in Liaodong City!"

A long trumpet sounded in the General's Mansion of Fuyu City. Su Dingfang, who was studying accounts with Li Chengqian, was stunned for a moment.

He looked up at Li Chengqian beside him, and the other party asked in a low voice: "Is this our messenger? Could it be that the spy sent by the enemy who invaded us and came to spread rumors?"

Su Dingfang nodded subconsciously and said, "It is our voice of the commander. In the general's mansion, no one else is qualified to send commands like this except our own confidants...

No, something happened!”

Before he finished speaking, Su Dingfang came to his senses and quickly ran out of the door.

When Li Chengqian came out, he saw Su Dingfang's face look ugly and holding a piece of information tightly in his hand.

"General Su, what's really wrong with Mariser Li?"

Su Dingfang handed over the information and explained: "The Goguryeo Navy raided 100,000, and quietly landed from Yingzhou and went around to the rear of Huaiyuan City. At that time, General Li and Cheng Chumo had just captured the Liaodong City, and Huaiyuan City was in emptiness.

When Cheng Chumo went back to report, when Marshal Li received the news, Huaiyuan City had already changed hands, and the 50,000 troops could not be seized. Instead, they were almost surrounded by the fearless enemy and had to retreat to Liaodong City to wait for assistance."

"How is this possible? A hundred thousand navy? A silent detour to our Yingzhou? Why is there no intelligence at all?

Moreover, even if there are 100,000 navy troops and 50,000 elite soldiers of our Tang Dynasty, they will definitely have the power to fight. Marshal Li uses his troops like a god..."

Li Chengqian didn't say anything, and Su Lie sighed: "On the battlefield, there are ever-changing changes. If you lose, you lose. The scout's information cannot be fake. Let's prepare for rescue immediately."

"Yes, rescue, I'll go back to Datang for help now.

Just one hundred thousand navy, when our Tang Dynasty heavenly soldiers arrive, they will turn them into 100,000 corpses!"

I'm afraid it's too late!

Su Dingfang turned around and took out the map. After a stick of incense, he came to this conclusion.

Li Chengqian was a military talk on paper, but he learned a little bit of evidence from Su Dingfang in this battle, so he was far less vicious than the other party's eyes.

Su Dingfang explained: "The Tang Dynasty was not prepared to send troops at all. The 50,000 soldiers of General Li had already formed the elite defenders in various places in Hebei Road. If it weren't for this, even if the enemy raided Yingzhou, he would not have hit Huaiyuan City so quickly.

Now we are back to the Tang Dynasty for help. Within one month, reinforcements cannot arrive, and the army without food and supplies cannot conquer Huaiyuan City even if it comes.

And if you can't get Goguryeo for another month, the northeast will have a cold and snowfall, and there will be no chance for this war."

The urgency of the situation made Li Chengqian breathe a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Goguryeo had such a killer weapon, a 100,000 navy?

When the Sui San fought against Goguryeo, didn’t the opponent fail to fight back? Isn’t it that their 100,000 navy was so powerful?

Su Dingfang explained that in the past, hundreds of thousands of troops of Sui Dynasty advanced together with sea and land. Not only did the land army approach the border, but the former Sui Dynasty naval general was also extremely brave, and Goguryeo could not afford any advantage on the sea.

At this time, Li Chengqian flashed with a flash of inspiration: "Before leaving, I went to visit my fifth brother-in-law. He told me something. Although the father stuck to the bottom line of the Tang Dynasty's voluntary troops, he also promised a condition.

That is, once Goguryeo dispatches a navy to invade, the Tang Dynasty navy will be allowed to fight against the enemy!”

Su Dingfang disbelief: "My Tang navy? Don't joke. The former Emperor Daye of Sui built canals and built tower ships. The navy had long declined until the Tang Dynasty established its country. At best, the navy was walking on the river..."

"Did General Su forget the Lingnan Navy? Over the past year, the continuous supply of food and grass has been transported by sea." Li Chengqian reminded.

"Lingnan Navy? Does it have combat power?

I always knew that their sea ships were responsible for the food and grass, but Fuyu City was not near the sea, and I had never seen it once." Su Dingfang explained.

When Li Chengqian mentioned the combat power of the Lingnan Navy, he couldn't help laughing.

I recalled and introduced: "The Lingnan Navy warships were specially transformed. There are now no less than three large fleets. Speaking of combat power...

Let’s put it this way, the Lingnan Navy can sweep the entire southern waters.”

Sweeping the entire southern waters??

Oh my god, what kind of scene is that? Su Dingfang is a bit like that.

"The reason why we have a steady stream of food is because the Lingnan Navy wiped out the southern countries. The rice there is produced three seasons a year. The locals can't finish it, so they abandon it like worn-out shoes and are too lazy to harvest it."

What???

Su Dingfang said angrily: "So, this group of people should be killed and saved food is wasted, and they don't know how to cherish it. It's really damn!"

"Haha, General Su, I've been a little far-fetched. Since there is such an excellent reinforcement, let's find a way to send a message to ask for help quickly." Li Chengqian suggested.

“Very good!

While asking for help from the Tang Dynasty Navy, he sent a message to Xue Li, asking him to end the Wugucheng war as soon as possible and return to the Liaodong city. We will also attack inside and outside to leave the remaining 100,000 pieces of copper and iron in Goguryeo here."

The five thousand troops in Fuyu City cannot move, and there are still food and supplies to support the army in the city. If there is any loss, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When Li Ji retreated in Liaodong City, he expected the situation to be urgent when the war was retreating, and at the same time he sent his confidants to ask Cheng Chumo who had just returned. Cheng Chumo was asking for credit with Xue Li in Wugu City, and the messenger for help here has arrived.

When Xue Li heard Cheng Chumo's brilliant description of how he cleverly broke the city, even he felt ashamed of Cheng Chumo's good luck and acting skills. However, after hearing the news that Liaodong City Po was broken, Xue Li was not too excited, but frowned slightly.

"Mr. Xue, what is your expression? It's not because I disrespect the generals and have expanded the results of the battle privately, right? This cannot be considered as my actions without authorization. I am pursuing the enemy..."

Seeing Cheng Chumo ask this question, Xue Rengui stood up with a smile, walked closer, and explained in a low voice: "Nothing else is a problem, we are all very happy for you to make great contributions.

But I always feel that there is a follow-up action in Du He, and Liaodong City was deliberately left for them. Now I don’t even know the follow-up plan, so I dare not judge whether taking Liaodong City will affect the overall plan."

"Hey, no matter what plan he plans or not? My old man once said that no plan is as good as change. Even though he knows it is a thorn in our side, he will beat him up first!" Cheng Chumo said carelessly.

Xue Li:...

"Eight hundred miles of military newspapers! General Li urgently sent a message to General Cheng..." The sound of horse hooves outside the camp mixed with horns and told the seriousness of the situation.

Cheng Chumo wondered: "Look for me? I just put a cup of tea. What did Uncle Shi ask me for? I didn't want to be tied there to guard Liaodong City no matter what I said."

"It shouldn't be a trivial matter. Go and have a look. I have an ominous premonition."

The person who came was covered in blood. Cheng Chumo recognized him at a glance and was one of Li Ji's personal guards, so he hurried over to meet him.

"Uncle Li San, what's going on? Didn't the prisoners in Liaodong City be transported away? Did they rebel?" Cheng Chumo said anxiously.

"General Xiao Cheng, Huaiyuan City was attacked by the enemy. Our army was defeated after rescue. Now the general and his brothers are trapped in Liaodong City..."

What??? Say it again!

Half a day later, Xue Li ordered to recall Li Zhen and Yuchi Baolin all the way, and sent more than 20,000 people to help. He led 10,000 people outside Wugu City, sang an empty city plan to prevent the news from leaking into Wugu City, and let the enemy attack inside and outside.

At this moment, no matter what Du He's follow-up methods are, Xue Li will be glad that if Cheng Chumo had not taken the Liaodong City, the losses of Li Ji this time would be immeasurable.

But the house was leaking and it was raining, and the news quickly leaked to Wugu City. Nearly 40,000 defenders in the city came out. Xue Rengui had a lot of skills and could only retreat and fight. In the end, Cheng Chu silently returned to help Xue Rengui, and finally became a stalemate with the soldiers of Wugu City, but they were unable to rescue Liaodong City.

Finally, the news reached Fuyu City. Su Lie and Li Chengqian realized that the various opportunities they occupied this time might be rushed up to bite by the enemy during this crisis.

"I found out clearly. The news from Du He was given, Goguryeo's 50,000 navy, formed an alliance with Baekje's 50,000 navy, and attacked our Datang Yingzhou and used war to raid Huaiyuan City.

According to the scouts, Goguryeo often used Baekje people to die in the battle, and their own people fought desperately, so the fact that Li Dashui was not careful about being plotted against for a while." Su Lie said with hatred.

Li Chengqian frowned and asked, "General Su, the news obtained from the Du Family Chamber of Commerce is that the Tang Dynasty Navy will take half a month to come to rescue. According to the time, it is probably too late."

Standing in the combat hall, paced back and forth, for about a quarter of an hour, Su Lie slapped the table and cursed: "Okay, what a Goguryeo big couple. When they saw us looking for allies, they also found Baekje to help, specifically attacking our navy to show weakness.

Deputy General Li, you may need to take action now.”

"Please give the order to General Su, and the last general Li Chengqian is willing to die for the Tang Dynasty!" Li Chengqian gave Su Lie an excited look.

Su Lie smiled slightly, walked up to pat the other person on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, it's not that you are fighting on the battlefield, but that you have to use your identity as the eldest prince to be an envoy of the Tang Dynasty.

Since Goguryeo is seeking help in the war, our Tang Dynasty is not without reinforcements in the Three Kingdoms of the Peninsula. To the east of Goguryeo and Baekje, there is a country called Silla. This country is a feud with Goguryeo. If you don’t change horses or people, you will start from Fuyu City for up to five days.”

"Okay, let's go here and convince Silla to send troops to help destroy Goguryeo. As long as Pyongyang City is broken, these little kids behind will sooner or later be the dead fish in our hands."

After being reminded by Su Lie, Li Chengqian took a simple group of guards and quickly walked through Goguryeo and headed straight to Silla.

He drove from Fuyu City to Pyongyang City for three days and nights, and joined Du He's army.

Everyone in the tent had a gloomy face, and everyone knew it. If one more day delayed, the more dangerous Marshal Li would be, and the more risk of failure this battle would be.

"The troops are in short supply, and we cannot divide the troops to escort you to go on missions. Everyone's personal guards will separate ten people and take them with you. No matter what the success or failure of the mission is, your safety is the priority." Du He reminded.

Before Li Chengqian could speak, Fang Yiai came in outside, "Wait a minute, I'll bring some information here."

"Information? Love, is it because the situation of the battle has turned around? Where is the messenger?" Du He said in surprise.

Fang Yiai's old face turned red and said a little embarrassedly: "Hehe, I'm the messenger. Didn't you hear that my brother-in-law is going to go to Silla? I got Silla's information from the scalper, the focus is on the Queen of Silla..."

"Oh, you're still thoughtful, you need Silla here...

No, wait, I love, what are you looking for a scalper? Could it be..." Du He said alertly.

Li Chengqian next to him said in confusion: "Who is the scalper? Why is this name a little familiar?"

Fang Yiai blushed and jumped and shouted, "Qinglian, where do you want to go? I did nothing, just passing by."

Brother-in-law, you have to believe me. Scalper is the scout leader of the Chamber of Commerce in the Goguryeo Royal Capital, and he is very informative."

"Oh, I thought it was a businessman who sold beauty albums in Chang'an City in the past." Li Chengqian did not doubt that he was.

Fang Yiai winked Du He repeatedly, and Du He was hilarious.

After obtaining Silla information, Fang Yiai gave Li Chengqian an idea, that is, the Queen of Silla is still a single person, and might as well use a handsome man trick. Maybe the Queen of Silla is willing to marry, and then marry and form an alliance, and help the whole country. Then will this crisis be solved?

"Brother-in-law, does Sister Gao Yang know about the scalper? Do you want my elder brother to tell her?" Li Chengqian asked with a smile on his shoulder.

What? So you know?

Fang Yiai begged for mercy repeatedly, and he was out of a big tent as if he was running away.

Li Chengqian can be regarded as an old man from the Du family chamber of commerce. How similar is to the Du family? Since he is familiar with the scalper, he remembers it after a moment of thinking about it. The scalper was the subordinate of Goguryeo who was placed by his brother-in-law Du Shaoqing.

Du He watched the two of them play and shook his head speechlessly. After a long time, he pondered: "Your Highness, the Great Prince..."

"It's just you and me now, why both of you see each other so much? When you were in Luoxia Town, you said it yourself, and I'm convinced me to be the shopkeeper." Li Chengqian interrupted.

"Okay, then I'll call you the shopkeeper for the time being.

I have a good word, would you like to listen to it?" Du He did not refuse.
