After the defenders of Bintu and Tuhe came in Changli City, the situation eased a lot, but it still could not change the bad situation in Changli City, the weather was hot, the wounded soldiers could not be treated, and the wailing sound made every night had a great impact on the morale of the army, and Gongsun Kang specially gathered the wounded soldiers in one place for this purpose.

"General, General Gao Cheng led 5,000 reinforcements to defeat the enemy army a hundred miles east of the city." Liu Yi hurriedly walked in and said in a low voice.

Gongsun Kang was shocked, Gao Cheng was the number one general in the army, but he didn't expect to be defeated in the hands of the Youzhou army.

"This matter cannot be known to the soldiers in the city, and those who leak this matter will be killed!" Gongsun Kang hurriedly ordered, the morale of the defenders was not high, if he learned of such a situation, wouldn't it be a big chaos.

"Whoa." Liu Yi also knew the urgency of the situation.

"General, the King's Letter." Gongsun Kang's personal guard walked in quickly.

After reading the letter in his hand, Gongsun Kang's expression was a little more relaxed, Gongsun Du asked him to give up Changli when the situation was unavoidable, the time when the Youzhou army attacked Changli was a huge torture for Gongsun Kang, the defenders faced the endless torture of the thunderbolt car, and they had to be worried about the sudden attack of the Youzhou army, how many times the Youzhou army attacked the city wall, if it were not for the defenders in the city to fight to the death, I am afraid that Changli City was still lost.

In terms of boosting morale, Gongsun Kang still has some means, under his encouragement, the defenders do not say that they have the same hatred for the enemy, and when facing the Youzhou army, they can also resist tenaciously, and the generals in the army understand that once Changli is attacked, what will be the fate they will face, they don't want to live a life under the fence, even if Lu Bu is a hussar general.

The family in the city also did their best to support Gongsun Kang, mainly because Lu Bu showed the means to make the family afraid, they didn't want the power in their hands to change because of the Youzhou army stationed in Changli, if the Youzhou army was replaced by the Jizhou army or the army of other princes, the family might be a different act.

"General Liu, what do you think about this?" After Liu Yi read the letter, Gongsun Kang asked.

Liu Yi frowned, giving up Changli City means that he will lose the subject state of Liaodong, and the Youzhou army will be able to drive straight into Liaodong, which will inevitably cause shocks in Liaodong.

Following Gongsun for many years, Liu Yi did not want Liaodong to be lost.

"General, although the situation in the city is precarious, if you want to retreat with your whole body, you still need to plan, otherwise it will be difficult for the Youzhou army to find out that it will be difficult to withdraw from the subject country of Liaodong." Liu Yi said, he understood Gongsun Du's intention in the number of times he saw the letter, after all, Gongsun Kang is the hope of Liaodong, and the dying Gongsun Du does not want to put Gongsun Kang in danger because of a Liaodong vassal state, if there is no Gongsun Kang in the city, I am afraid that the order will be replaced by a dead guard.

Only if Changlicheng holds out longer, Liaodong can more calmly deal with the threat from the Youzhou army.

Unlike the low morale of the defenders, Huang Zhong led two thousand Lieyang archers to repel the Liaodong reinforcements, which greatly boosted the morale of the Youzhou army.

The fortification of Changli City was also beyond Lu Bu's expectations, originally his plan was to take the subject state of Liaodong within a month, and then wave troops to Liaodong, who knew that the battle against Changli lasted for nearly a month.

"My lord, the envoy from Liaodong asks to see me." Dian Wei walked into the big tent and said in a low voice.

Lu Bu took his eyes off the topographic map, his face puzzled, the envoy from Liaodong came at this time, could it be to sue for peace? The war has been going on to this point, the two sides have reached the point of not dying, he does not think that Liaodong will be willing to bow down, after all, there are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the hands of Gongsun Kang, and Changli City is so difficult to break, let alone Xiangping.

"Let the Liaodong envoy come in." Lu Bu ordered.

"Liaodong envoy Liu Tai has seen the Marquis of Jin." Liu Tai bowed his hand and saluted.

Lu Bu glanced at Liu Tai, he was able to maintain such a bearing, and he expected that he was not a nobody in Liaodong.

"Didn't the messenger come for anything? Could it be that Liaodong Taishou wants to return to Benhou? Lu Bu said with a smile, and did not recognize the identity of Gongsun Du as the king of Liaodong in his words.

"Marquis of Jin, the war has begun, the people of Li have suffered from war, my king is worried about the people, I don't want to fight to the death with the Marquis of Jin, if the Marquis of Jin can stop the army, my king is willing to form an alliance with the Marquis of Jin forever, and never invade the land of Youzhou." Liu Tai replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, Liu Tai was not very optimistic about Gongsun Du's dispatch of envoys to the Youzhou army, anyone could see the ambition of the Marquis of Jin, as long as he took the subject country of Liaodong, he would definitely not abandon the land of Liaodong.

Lu Bu snorted coldly: "What Liaodong King? The Han Dynasty since Gaozu, the king with a different surname has to be punished, this Hou is the hussar general of the Han Dynasty, since he should help the saint to eradicate the rebellion, if Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du is willing to bow down to the ministers, this Hou will retreat, and the people of Liaodong have been spared the war, and Liaodong also belongs to Youzhou, Mo Fei Gongsun Du really thought that he could tear the soil and seal the king. ”

"I heard that the Marquis of Jin was worried about the people, why was he so aggressive?" Liutai Road.

"Aggressive?" Lu Bu sneered: "Gongsun Du doesn't know the mandate of heaven, and he dares to claim the king in Liaodong, such an act, could it be that the envoy thinks that Benhou is wrong to attack Liaodong?" ”

Liutai said that Gongsun Du's claim to be the king in Liaodong is untenable in terms of righteousness, which is also the remoteness of Liaodong, which has not attracted the prying eyes of the princes, and Gongsun Du has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, so that he can be at ease in Liaodong, no matter which princes send troops to Liaodong, they can occupy the righteousness.

"The two armies are fighting, and if they don't kill them, after the envoy goes back, he tells Gongsun Du that the mandate of heaven cannot be violated, and if you make a choice as soon as possible, you can avoid the sword and axe." Lu Budao, Gongsun Du's behavior in Liaodong, he has also done a detailed understanding, Gongsun Du's behavior, the treatment of the people is still very good, and the surrounding alien races are also obedient to Gongsun Du, this is a person who has contributed to the Han Dynasty.

"I hope that the Marquis of Jin can think twice, although Liaodong is small, there are tens of thousands of warriors." Liutai Road.

"What can tens of thousands of elite soldiers do, I don't know if the king of Liaodong in your mouth can dare to fight with Benhou with a dignified and upright army?" Lu Bu asked rhetorically.

Liu Tai's face was ashamed, at this point, he had to admit that the combat power of the Youzhou army was indeed too strong, with only 2,000 cavalry, the 5,000 reinforcements in Liaodong were repulsed, and all the grain and grass were obtained by the Youzhou army, and it was precisely because of this situation that Gongsun Du's determination to let Gongsun Kang withdraw from Changli was strengthened.

"Commander of the army, go to the big tent of the Chinese army." Lu Bu ordered.

Two quarters of an hour later, the generals of the various departments gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army.
