The sky gradually darkened, and the weather gradually warmed up after entering June, and the air at night was at a comfortable temperature, but there was still a heavy and oppressive atmosphere in the Bone City. Yanbei looked up from the palace to the city, the western city wall was lit with torches, as bright as day, and the Liaodong warriors who were accustomed to swords and spears picked up leather whips and did not fall behind, and thousands of Goguryeo captives worked under such coercion for nearly nine hours a day.

"Tell them that if they continue like this, they'll be tired." In fact, he has been tired to death in the past few days, but all the departments don't take it seriously, and the corpse is thrown into the big pit outside the city that has not been filled, and he leans on the wooden pillar carved with a golden crow with his arms, Yan Bei said softly: "It's not good to be dead." ”

"The general is taking pity on them?"

Guo Jia stood at his side, smiling rather than smiling. He didn't think that the young general in front of him, who could give the order not to put his sword into the sheath for three days before the siege, would have much mercy for the Goguryeos.

In fact, just as he thought, as soon as he finished speaking, Yan Bei came back to his senses, let out a sneering snort on the tip of his nose, and said with a casual smile with his shoulders shrugged: "Anping Township is their destination!" ”

Qianshan, Anping Township Iron Mine.

Guo Jia didn't speak, he just wondered if Zhao Yun would regret it, if the captives he saved were exhausted to death on the Susheng Bone Wall in these days, it would be a relief, otherwise it was obvious that they would have to work hard day after day, year after year...... This kind of retaliatory punishment for the Goguryeo invasion of Liaodong County under the leadership of Yi Yinmo seems to be extremely cruel.

Yan Bei interpreted these meanings from Guo Jia's eyes, but he was unwilling to explain anything for this. He could understand Goguryeo's invasion of Liaodong County, but he couldn't accept the more than 10,000 officials who died because of it, and the way he could live a good life in his upbringing was to eat the law of the jungle and have many friends and multiple paths. It can be said that it is these two codes of conduct that have made today's General Duliao.

Naturally, there is no escape from this framework in his style.

A person who can be a friend is usually unwilling to be an enemy; But once you become an enemy, the rest of the matter will be much easier to sort out.

The Goguryeo people killed his people, well, it was because his border defense was too weak, which gave the Goguryeo people an opportunity to take advantage of, he could understand. Therefore, when he led the army to kill back, Goguryeo must also be divided.

"Anything and everything in this world has retribution. A few days ago, Yan was still complaining about Dong Zhongying in Liaodong, today is good, Fu Gong and Zi Xiangping sent a letter, Liangzhou people and Bingzhou people fought in Sanfu, it's really like what you said! Yan Bei took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Guo Jia, looking up at the burning clouds in the sky, his face was incomprehensible, "The Liangzhou general is finished after this battle, Dong Yue was killed by Niu Fu, Niu Fu was killed by his subordinates, and he survived a wall grass section simmering." Xu Rong, who had a one-sided relationship, surrendered to the imperial court, but he is from Youzhou and can understand it. ”

Guo Jia once said that after Xiangping heard the news of Dong Zhuo's death, he immediately said that 100,000 Liangzhou soldiers would cause trouble in Chang'an City, but the current situation, Yanbei was noncommittal.

No matter how many Liangzhou soldiers are strong, but none of the high-ranking generals can survive the chaos after Dong Zhuo's death, and Zhonglang will only have Duan Zhuo's department stationed in Huayin, and in the letter sent back by Fu Zhu, it is obvious that Duan Zhuo did not mean to avenge Dong Zhuo. Duan Xuan Duan Zhongming's brother is Duan Ying Duan Jiming, one of the three Mings of Liangzhou, as the heir of the Duan clan of Wuwei Jiangmen, he probably did not dare to attack Chang'an with those school captains Sima.

"General, that's the imperial court, don't say that Duan Xuan is alive, if Liangzhou Lord Hu Zhen and Yang Ding are still alive, they will also surrender. The one who can avenge Dong Zhuo must be the captain Sima, and it will never be those generals. Therefore, whether Zhonglang in the court will die or not has nothing to do with the situation, it is precisely because they are dead that the Liangzhou soldiers can have the courage to avenge Dong Zhuo, otherwise the Liangzhou soldiers will be scattered. ”

Guo Jia smiled, and said with a rare look of admiration: "Righteousness is mostly for dog slaughterers, and the more people think, the more they will be afraid." ”

Hearing this, Yan Bei fell into deep thought. In his heart, his feelings for Dong Zhuo are very complicated, whether Dong Zhuo supports the army and is self-respecting, or controls the government, or even his death, it reveals the truth of the development of the situation in the world to Yanbei. In the past, Dong Zhuo's self-respecting army until he controlled the court, so that Yan Bei's mind opened a broad road called the Division of the Princes, and now that Dong Zhuo is dead, Yan Bei has already relied on this incident to observe that if he is assassinated in the future, who will avenge him.

He once sent troops north for Zhang Chun, with the intention of revenge; But the same thing is still happening, Liu Yu, who has a better sense in his heart, has been victimized, and he still hates the initiator, but his desire for revenge is not as strong as it was desperate at that time.

Could it be that he has become a numb and heartless person? I'm afraid not, because he has more pursuits in his heart, and he can no longer be desperate. It's hard for him to do anything like a ranger in the past.

And what about the cadres behind him? If they are assassinated, will they be able to avenge themselves?

I'm afraid, most likely not. Lu Yi is a good general, and his unruly temperament drives him away with hard work, but he can be sure that if he is gone, Lu Yi will probably not avenge him. And Zhao Yun and Tai Shici are no exception, and they are likely to follow the frustration and vote for another master; As for Zhang Jaw, he doesn't even need to die himself, as long as the sun is waning, I am afraid that he will wait and see the situation like many county commanders in Liaodong.

There are very few people who would rather die than surrender, as for those who will avenge themselves?

There are only Jiang Jin and Pan Ling!

"After returning to Liaodong, let's raise troops to avenge Duke Liu, things may not be sorted out by now, but whether it is Gongsun Zan or Yuan Shao, sweeping them up in one fell swoop will be regarded as revenge for Duke Liu." Until now, almost three months after Liu Yu's death, Yanbei finally made up his mind to avenge Liu Yu, and said to Guo Jia with a solemn face: "I don't know if Liu Gong thought about this when he was alive, but I guess that Liu Gong would not think about it. But if he thought about it, he would definitely think about everyone in his heart, and finally said to himself: If you can be an avenger for the old man, it will be about Yan Zhongqing! ”

Guo Jia turned his head and widened his eyes, not because Yanbei said that he would raise troops to avenge Liu Yu. In his opinion, no matter whether Yanbei wants to take revenge or not, he will eventually enter Youzhou under such a banner, but if Yanbei says so, it will be different. From the words that came out of Yan Bei's mouth, what really surprised Guo Jia was that it was obvious that Yan Bei had thought about who could avenge him after his death.

This kind of problem is extremely cruel.

"If the general wants to start a war with Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, I am afraid that this battle will only take a few years." Guo Jia stared at the palm of his right hand, as if he had a flower in his hand, and his left hand kept running over the palm, and said: "If the matter of Goguryeo is decided, then there will be no constraints in the east. ”

To be honest, Yanbei lacks concentration on everything now, and few people may be able to avenge themselves in the end, although this kind of thing is empathetic, knowing that this is not an easy decision, but it is difficult to accept it in his heart after all.

Waving his hand, Yan Bei looked at the fire clouds in the sky and looked lonely, then turned his head and smiled at Guo Jia: "I heard that you picked a few Goguryeo women in the city yesterday as prostitutes and sent someone to send them back to Liaodong?" ”

"The general knows?" Hearing Yan Bei's question, Guo Jia not only was a little shy, but nodded calmly and said, "Well, I picked three." ”

"Be careful of those people, don't let them stab you to death." Men are good and women are good, people are normal, Yanbei is not the kind of rigid person, he just told Guo Jia to pay attention to safety, and then urged Guo Jia: "When I return to Liaodong, choose a virtuous lady to marry on a certain day, stay up less late and drink too much, how can I take on a big responsibility with a vain gait?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slyly: "The general can take on the great responsibility of the world, and he only needs to drink some wine to indulge in his lust and make suggestions, haha!" ”

Yanbei still wanted to persuade Guo Jia a few more words, but he saw a cavalry soldier quickly reining in his horse outside the hall, and after showing the letter, he walked quickly through the middle road, ran to more than ten steps away and bowed and said: "Report to the general, Captain Taishi engaged with the enemy reinforcements for a moment fifty miles south of the city, wounded hundreds of enemies and retreated, and saw that the enemy was carrying siege ordnance, and wanted to attack the camp fire and burn the equipment at night!" ”

This military order taught Yanbei and Guo Jia to be caught off guard, and the two of them looked at each other and saw each other's surprise, Guo Jia exclaimed: "Come so fast!" ”

Yanbei took Tai Shici's handwritten letter from the soldier's hand, and after looking at it, he stretched his eyebrows and handed it to Guo Jiadao: "It's okay, the Goguryeo generals are mediocre, and the people are crowded together when the war is coming, with 16,700 people...... However, this army is really a little more, even if it is half of the people, there must be more than 8,000 soldiers! ”

There were so many Goguryeo soldiers!

From Liangshui to Susheng Bone City, they defeated a full 15,000 Goguryeo soldiers, and the remaining thousands of people either broke into the mountains and forests or fled to the country, and finally Yi Yinmo fled with only a few hundred people; There are still 30,000 soldiers on the battlefield in the north and Buyeo, and this is at least 50,000 inside and outside, and now Goguryeo has sent 8,000 troops from the country?

Doesn't that mean that Goguryeo has at least 60,000 troops!

It is conceivable that the Han Dynasty's control over Goguryeo in the past hundred years has been as low as the bottom!

In fact, Yanbei didn't know, because those people were mixed with the refugees from Susheng Bone City, which made Tai Shici think that they had nearly 20,000 people, but in fact, they ...... It's just six thousand troops.

But even if it's six thousand, it's not a small number.

"Send a message to Tai Shici, let him let go and deal with the enemy, how many days can it be delayed." After that, Yan Bei turned his head, shook his head at Guo Jia and said, "The south has already encountered enemy troops, and I'm afraid the north is not far away." Ordered Sun Qing to send sentry cavalry to search for fifty miles along the way to prevent a sneak attack by the brigade of soldiers and horses! ”
