The rain in Xiangping is still falling, and it is dense and fine, and it is endless. In the palace of Xiangping Guan Temple, Fu Zhu put on a robe and looked up at the stacked bucket arches stacked with exquisite cornices. The rain fell to the ground on the tile with the pattern of the beast, and the rain was ticking in the ears. The slightly overcast sky makes people think that it is still afternoon, and it is just another early morning in the air.

If you have leisure, you can make an appointment with three or five friends in such weather, and you should cultivate a bottle of furnace with little fire power under the eaves, and warm a pot of vegetarian wine mixed with green plums, it will be beautiful. If the master's family is accompanied by three or five beautiful maids, it is a great pleasure in the world.

The calm scenery didn't last long, and a group of ironclad warriors who were washed away by the rain and were full of intimidating dark colors carried Changge and stamped across the bluestone road in front of the mansion gate, and sighed in frustration.

He is the master, but he has no beautiful maids, no red stoves, no green plums, and he doesn't have to spend time cooking wine and sitting high.

The city gates were opened and closed, closed and opened, and the samurai, who symbolized the heavy weapons of Liaodong, kept suppressing the market, but he still worried that there would be chaos.

The war was about to be fought, and the various matters of preparing for the siege were overwhelming.

Shaking his head slightly, he stepped lightly under his feet and stepped into the rain curtain.

The battle in the lower reaches of the Daliang River was blocked by light rain, and here was the first and last line of defense built by Koji Yi. Relying on the geographical location of the Daliang water, the Goguryeo warships were able to go straight downstream, but the two hundred miles of the road under the water and land could not find any suitable area for defense.

He believed in the talent shown by his subordinate generals in small-scale battles, and only the banks of the lower reaches of the Daliang River could allow him to spread out the three troops and horses of the partial generals in more than 20 miles down the river, control the overall situation, and rely on the geographical advantages to confront the Goguryeo army...... And a decisive battle.

There is no geographical advantage behind the Luyi, and the Daliangshui is a thousand mountains to the west, which is not so much the geographical advantage of the Luyi as the geographical advantage of the Goguryeo people, they were born in the plains with many valleys, and they crossed the mountains and mountains as if they were walking on the flat ground, and they were afraid that the Han army was far worse than the strength of the feet.

So there was a battle, the winner was decided, and the expedition to the east or the withdrawal to Xiangping City was made.

The confrontation has been going on for a few days, the rain has been falling, the river is slowly rising, even the shallowest tidal flats cannot be forcibly crossed by the Goguryeo...... They were all waiting for the rain to stop.

Yi Yinmo is looking forward to the rain stopping, and Lu Yi is hoping that the rain will stop later.

"They always have to cross the river...... Let the brethren cover the ballistae. ”

The first half of the sentence has been repeated several times, the Goguryeo people always have to cross the river, and when they cross the Daliang River, it means that they are in close combat.

The rain made the heavy banner lose its original effect after the water accumulated, and the fine rain was like a dense fog, covering the heavy deployment of Goguryeo on the other side of the distant river, and he could only see the outline of the military tent connecting the sky and the earth, like a fierce beast ready to attack.

Let him have nothing to do.

Koji is not good at strategy, and his advantage lies in setting up the strongest camp or listing the most suitable battle formations, and commanding the army to attack. But in this situation of not seeing the enemy, he also felt a little bottomless in his heart...... It's more because of the anxiety that seems to be hung above his head with a sharp blade that will slash down at some point.

Yi Yinmo was more anxious than him.

If it hadn't been for this rain, when it was time for the eclipse, it would have been clear from the position where Koyi was now that the Goguryeo army could not raise much smoke...... Since the day before yesterday, there was a problem with their rear grain road, and a group of bandits appeared in Susheng Bone City, stealing their food and grass for three days one after another.

The grain and grass for a few days is only a thousand stones, which is not too big a problem. But the ferocious bandits killed nearly a thousand people, burned down six or seven villages along the way, and only last year did the king order more than half of the 500 families who had migrated to the border to be killed or wounded.

There is no one to deliver food to them.

Yi Yinmo is in a dilemma.

On the one hand, he hoped that the rain would stop as soon as possible, and that he would be able to force his way across the Daliang River, defeat the garrison army, and besiege Xiangping; But on the other hand, they did not have enough food and grass, and the surplus military rations could only last for three days, even if they ate one meal a day...... It's that Yi Yinmo is withdrawing now, and the soldiers and food are not enough to walk back to Susheng Bone City!

For this reason, the Goguryeo army made a special trip to send the 3,000 soldiers who were stranded on the border back to the city of Susheng to transport grain, which made the originally sufficient troops seem to be a little stretched.

On the other side of the water, in the military tent that connects the sky and the earth.

"His Royal Highness, now that the army is retreating, the road is difficult to travel with the help of rainy days, and the Han people can't see that we will retreat, as long as we leave these military tents and lay more than a thousand doubtful soldiers, the army will be able to return with the whole division." Yi Yinmo's closest staff member was a young scholar from Goguryeo, who generally had the appearance of a large scarf with the Han people, and said smoothly and magnificently: "It will take at least three days to wait for the restoration of the rear grain route, break through the Han army on the other side, and then come to the city of Xiangping, it will be a ten-year situation, does the prince still plan to fight with the Duliao general Yan Zhongqing again?" ”

Yi Yinmo looked at the staff members' words and sentences, only to feel the blood in his chest surging up his throat, took a deep breath, and then sat behind the case and asked in a deep voice: "Could it be that the grudge of his general Lu Yi for killing the people on my border, the death and wounding of the soldiers in vain, is it just like that?" ”

Who can be reconciled?

persuaded his father several times to really lead the army to attack Liaodong. Yi Yinmo, who is familiar with the history of his country, knows that this generation of Jiangshan is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Goguryeo people!

With such ambition and such ambition, could it be that because of the attack on the grain road, he would have to walk back to the city of bones in disgrace?

"Break the righteousness, go down to Xiangping, and Liaoshui blocks Yanbei...... Do you know what this means to me? ”

The young staff member inhaled slowly, turned his face to look at the sparse rain curtain outside the tent, he could feel the progress of the prince Yi Yinmo's heart, but in the current situation, are those beautiful hopes really something they can do? Not to mention, just the partial generals under Yan Duliao, the Lu Yi who has thousands of troops on the other side of the army, is it really something they can easily defeat?

"Your Royal Highness, if my soldiers are good enough to eat, I can still compete with the Koji Yi Department...... But now there is a lack of food, the sergeants only have one meal a day, the army is full of complaints, and the soldiers are exhausted, how can they force the Liangshui to fight with the ground? As for the unwillingness that His Royal Highness said. The young staff sighed and said, "If the husband is a big country, if he is a master, if he is a small country, if he is a dog." If the owner reprimands the dog, the dog is powerless; If the dog bites the master, then the master kills the dog easily, His Royal Highness, think twice. ”

That's a terrible thing to say!

Yi Yin Mo's eyes widened with annoyance, and his staff looked back fearlessly, and after a long time, Yi Yin Mo lowered his head and sighed: "I don't know what you said, but because of this, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us...... China was in chaos, the emperor's power was lost, and the princes of various places divided land, which is why Yan Zhongqing was in charge of Liaodong...... If I, the Juli Kingdom, can't even defeat Yan Zhongqing, wouldn't it be subject to the Han Dynasty for the rest of my life? ”

In fact, some things are only for King Guryeo, not for the subjects. Yi Yinmo's staff felt very deeply about this, whether it belonged to Goguryeo or Han, there was not much difference between the people of Limin, and the real influence was only the Guryo king's family.

In this era, there was no national spirit and national spirit, and even the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu to make the people attached, not to mention the rest of the countries.

Ordinary people, if they can understand loyalty and don't care about the two masters, they are already reasonable people.

It's just that he can't say this to Yi Yinmo.

"Let's march and cross the river."

After pondering for a long time, Yi Yinmo suddenly said with a hammer in his hand: "That's it, force Liangshui!" ”

"What! His Royal Highness? ”

Looking at the incredulous appearance of the staff, Yi Yinmo shook his head and said: "This is the chance, Lu Yi should be defenseless now, as you said, leave a thousand suspicious soldiers in the camp, and the rest of the soldiers will cross Liangshui by borrowing the rain curtain from the left and right in two ways, and attack Lu Yi before and after...... As long as the Lu Yi is broken and the township is plundered, the soldiers' food needs will be solved. This is the last chance, in a few days, the limbs of the soldiers will be weak, and we will not be able to enter the army regardless of whether Yanbei returns to help or not. Now, cross the river to meet the enemy! ”

Failing to make a decision was Yi Yinmo's foresight, but once he made up his mind, he became more energetic and immediately walked out of the tent. But after only a few steps, he turned back and said to his staff: "Many people in the country believe that I insisted on attacking Liaodong because I wanted to kill my brother. Is there such a thing? ”

The staff was stunned by the question, not knowing how to answer, so they listened to Yi Yinmo continue: "My brother, he is cowardly and proud by nature, and he always thinks that God has given him the responsibility of making Goguryeo rich and strong, but he always fails to grasp the essentials. The elder brother was kind and cheerful, and might be a good king to the people of the country, but he was not aggressive. What the kingdom of Juree needed was not a benevolent monarch, but a king who could stand up to a powerful neighbor like the Han Dynasty...... Either be annexed by the Han Dynasty, as it did four hundred years ago, or confront them! ”

Between people, there are rights and wrongs, and there are legal principles.

But between countries, there is no right or wrong, and there is no reason.

Right and wrong are sword soldiers, and legal principles are strong crossbows...... There is only so much in the world, and many races are either born or dead, where can they take care of benevolence?

The Goguryeo army, and then the rain curtain covered, the sergeants pulled their sleeves and legs into their upper arms and legs, and wore thin leather armor and swam across the beam with swords and swords.

In the Xuansu County to the north, the county Chengtian Chou only received the news of Goguryeo's invasion of Liaodong County. The soldiers of the county were summoned, and Tian Chou, who had taken off his casual clothes, wore a feather and a martial arts, and was dressed in gold and black coat of arms, standing at the head of the city and pulling out the Han sword at his waist.

Under the city, hunting with banners, the eight hundred dead soldiers who volunteered to follow Tian Chou in the soldiers of various counties picked up the wine bowl in their hands and drank it all in one gulp, Tian Chou in the city carried his bag with dry food, looked back at the county government that was close at hand but seemed to be out of reach, and stepped on his mount to lead everyone on the road to Liaodong County to conquer Dongyi.
