After Li Fengyun captured the domestic city, he immediately crossed the river without stopping, and most of the Thunder Army, Changba Army, Xi Left Army and Khitan Left Army controlled the strings, as well as the 12 parts of the Su Mo Jing Ya Ya controlled the strings, all entered the east bank of the Yalu River to fight, and the first target was the important town of Hamgyong City located in the northeast of Goguryeo.

The city of Hamgyong was caught off guard, coupled with the weakness of the garrison and the lack of defense against the Tatars, so the city gate was lost and the city fell with a slight carelessness.

More than 20,000 people rushed in, burned, killed, plundered, and looted, and overnight Hamgyong City was unrecognizable and almost in ruins.

Li Fengyun was unrestrained and plundered his troops in order to replenish grain and grass and boost morale. On April 24, the Ma army continued southward along the east bank of Yalu Water, climbing mountains and wading through waters, and reached the north bank of Yanshui with lightning speed, encircling Longlin, a town downstream of Yanshui.

Long Lin was also caught off guard, and the defenders in the city were only a few hundred, and they had no power to resist in the face of the Tatar people who fell from the sky and killed them all over the world.

The people of the Tatar are treacherous and turn against each other, which is the earth-shattering news for Goguryeo, there is a catastrophe, and it must be reported to Pyongyang as soon as possible, so the Longlin guards are very decisive, resolutely abandon the city, the soldiers retreat in two ways, all the way down the river by boat, from the water to the Yalu water, go straight to the city of black bones to report the news, this is the fastest line, all the way to the south of the water, along the eastern foothills of the Jiangnan and Shandong Mountains, while to the city villages on the way to the police, while through the Dading River to Sashui, directly to Pyongyang police, but this line takes a long time, And it is possible to be caught up by the Tatars at any time.

On the afternoon of April 26, the Ma army captured Longlin and burned and plundered again.

Li Fengyun stood on the bank of the Yanshui River, looking at the city with thick smoke billowing in the distance, his face was gloomy and his mood was bad.

Erzhu Tianxiao stood behind Li Fengyun, looking nervous and uneasy. He had just received an urgent report that the Thunder Knights of the three regiments that had been interspersed with the south bank of the water in advance, although they had successfully intercepted and killed the enemy troops who had evacuated from the 6th route, they learned from the captives that another group of enemy troops had fled from the waterway, that is to say, the news had leaked, and Anton's good luck had come to an end, and soon Pyongyang would know that the Tatar people were not only treacherous, but also turned against each other, and that the control of the Tatar tribes was roaring from the direction of Jiangnan Mountain, and the Goguryeo people would be prepared to fight back, which was very unfavorable to Anton. It will greatly increase the difficulty of Andong's army attacking Pyongyang.

At this moment, a group of Turkic knights came galloping from the direction of the city, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, from far to near, in the blink of an eye.

Li Fengyun turned around slowly, glanced at the Turkic people who were galloping, then looked at Erzhu Tianxiao, and gently waved the horsewhip in his hand, "One hundred secrets, I can't blame you for this, and I can't blame the soldiers, everyone has done their best, there is no need to blame themselves." ”

Erzhu Tianxiao suddenly sighed, hurriedly bowed, and just wanted to open his mouth to blame himself, but was glared back by Li Fengyun.

"Have the twelve ladies already sent someone down the river to find General Cui in the area of Wugu and Bo Bian?" Li Fengyun asked.

The twelve ladies of the Cui family were very cautious, and in order to ensure secrecy and safety, she did not go with Li Fengyun, but asked to hide in the Thunder Army and rush to the forefront under the strict protection of Erzhu Tianxiao. The most dangerous place is also the safest, Li Fengyun agrees with the view of the twelve ladies very much, so he readily accepts it, but he suffers from Erzhu Tianxiao, and he is worried all day long, lest something go wrong.

Erzhu Tianxiao shook his head, "I am not familiar with the place, I don't dare to dispatch it easily, I need to be accompanied by the Yan people, and I need a guide, so as not to delay the trip or have an accident, and delay the big thing." ”

Li Fengyun nodded slightly, "It's better to be cautious." Now the situation is not in my favor, and if we can quickly get in touch with General Cui Da and get his strong support, the situation will inevitably change. You have to take care of this matter yourself to make sure nothing goes wrong. ”

Erzhu Tianxiao bowed in agreement, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Ming Gong, if you get in touch with General Cui, and General Cui is already in Yalu Water, do you choose the opportunity to send him to General Cui's account?" ”

"It's not up to us." Li Fengyun said without thinking, "If she wants to act recklessly, what can we do?" ”

Erzhu Tianxiao was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "The big war is coming, who can guarantee her safety?" If something happens, who will be responsible? ”

Li Fengyun knew that Erzhu Tianxiao was eager to get rid of the burden, but he really couldn't convince Cui Yu, which was very troublesome. If Cui Jiu is still by Cui Yu's side, Cui Jiu can be her master, but now that Cui Jiu has gone to serve in the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, Cui Hongsheng is too busy to take care of himself, Cui Yu of course the sky is high and the bird flies, but it just "flies" to Li Fengyun's army, but it makes Li Fengyun have a headache and feel tricky.

The sound of hooves stopped abruptly, the dust flew, and then, Ashina's voice came from afar, "The deputy capital is urgent, what's the matter?" ”

Li Fengyunzheng didn't know how to reply to Erzhu Tianxiao, and Ashina Er'er happened to break the siege, so he beckoned to Erzhu Tianxiao, and the two greeted him one after the other.

Hearing that the news had leaked, Ashina was also gloomy. Looking at the situation exhibition, after all, it is still necessary to fight to the death with the Goguryeo people, but Goguryeo is in a desperate situation, cornered, and will definitely break the cauldron and fight against the water, so it will be very unfavorable to the Andong army, once the losses are too large, the muscles and bones will be broken, not to mention the capture of Pyongyang, even Andong may not be able to go back.

Soon, the Xi chieftain insulted the king Mengba, the Khitan chieftain Yelu Tieli, and the Sumo Jin Ya chieftain Tieli rushed to the scene one after another, and heard that the battle situation had changed abruptly, and there was a chance that the Goguryeo people would fight to the death, and the excitement was suddenly a little low.

"Now that it has been exposed and the enemy is prepared, will our southward movement be slowed down?" Ashina Er's first suggestion, "If we continue to gallop south, quickly cross the Jiangnan Mountains, and enter the line of the Dading River and Sashui, then the lone army will go deeper, there will be no food and grass inside, no rescue troops outside, it will be difficult to hold for a long time, once we encounter the main army of Goguryeo, we can only avoid fighting and retreat north, in this case, we might as well slowly move south, while exerting threats to Pyongyang, containing and dispersing Goguryeo forces, while waiting for the main army from the direction of Huaiyuan to come to Yalu Water, and then form a two-way flanking situation, The Goguryeo people were forced to retreat on all fronts and hold on to Pyongyang. ”

As soon as these words came out, the chieftains understood and knew that Ashina Duer, like them, had the same intention of preserving their strength and had no intention of fighting a decisive battle with the Goguryeo, so they expressed their support one after another.

At this moment, all tribes must support Ashinatar, and this is the purpose of Ashnatar's first proposal.

In fact, all kinds of tribes have the same idea, but they are small and weak, and they dare not offend Li Fengyun, and they dare not say it in their hearts, but Ashina is different, they are the khans of the emperor of Middle-earth, and their strength is not high, only if their strength is enough, they can snatch a part of the right to speak by virtue of their khan status. There was no proper opportunity before, and the tribes were not good at blatantly hugging together, but now that there is such an opportunity, of course they will not miss it, so Ashina Duer "beckoned", and the tribes responded immediately, and the situation was immediately different.

Li Fengyun sneered, his eyes showed contempt, and said in a cold voice, "Now we have two major disadvantages, one is that the grain and grass are not continued, if we want to feed the war with war, we must fly over the Jiangnan Mountain, break through the defense line of the Dading River and Sashui, and kill and plunder in the hinterland of Pyongyang, otherwise we can only retreat, and there is no possibility of slow advance at all; Second, we are all hidden dangers in the eyes of the Holy Lord, and we are all targets of attack, containment and killing, so once we join forces with the main force of the Eastern Expedition under the city of Pyongyang, we will be fish and meat on the chopping block, and we can only be cut by the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord will attack the city if we want to attack the city, and the Holy Lord will kill us with the sword of the Goguryeo people, and we can only accept our fate and let it be slaughtered. ”

Li Fengyun raised his horsewhip and pointed it at Ashina Er, and then pointed at the chieftains one by one, "If you want to die, if you want to die under the city of Pyongyang, then you can advance slowly, wait for the main force of the Eastern Expedition, if you don't want to die, then honestly follow me to kill Sasu, kill to Pyongyang." As for your worries, it's not unreasonable, everyone wants to preserve their strength, and I want to, but there is nothing in the world that doesn't work for nothing, under the current predicament, if we want to survive, if we want to live better, we must fight a bloody way out of the sea of swords and fires, and we must step on the bones of the Goguryeo people to victory, otherwise we can only survive like a lost dog, and even, even a dog can't do it, and we are skinned and cramped by the Holy Lord, and even the belt bones are eaten cleanly. ”

Ashina Duer did not show weakness,-for-tat, "At present, we only have a disadvantage, no advantage, if we take the initiative to attack and fight to the death with the Goguryeo, it will be two tigers fighting, both defeated, and finally the main force of the Eastern Expedition will be cheapened in vain, and the Emperor of Middle-earth will be able to kill us without much effort." ”

"No advantage?" Li Fengyun sneered, "Of course we have an advantage, and it is still a considerable advantage, a huge advantage that is enough to determine the victory or defeat of the Eastern Expedition, otherwise how would our Andong Army dare to take the middle way to attack Pyongyang and go deep alone?" ”

Of course, Ashina Jar knew what the advantage Li Fengyun was talking about, but compared to the disadvantage, this advantage could not be waved at all, and now it has become a burden, and the humiliation king Mengba and Yelu Tieli also knew what Li Fengyun relied on, and it was precisely because they took a fancy to this advantage that they did not hesitate to follow Li Fengyun on an expedition to Goguryeo, only Tie Li, the chief of Sumo, did not know, so he saw Ashina Jar and the others hesitating, so he asked eagerly, "What is the advantage?" Please advise Ming Gong. ”

"Anton has an army of 100,000 men." Li Fengyun said, "This is our greatest advantage. ”

Tie Li was puzzled. Anton has an army of 100,000, which he knows, and this is also an important reason why the tribes of the Yan Dynasty are afraid and surrender one after another, but Anton is short of food and grass, not to mention supporting the 100,000 army on a long-distance expedition, and it is difficult to even feed them, so although this is Anton's advantage, but in terms of the current situation, it is Anton's biggest disadvantage.

"You know that Andong has an army of 100,000 troops, which is advancing eastward in batches, and will soon cross the Yalu River and approach Pyongyang." Li Fengyun glanced at everyone and said unhurriedly, "This is not a secret to you, but it is a secret to Pyongyang, and so far, my Andong army has not been exposed, only the Anton tribes have been exposed. ”

Li Fengyun raised his horsewhip and pointed at Tie Li, and asked with a pun, "Now, Mo Fu knows what my advantage is?" ”

Tie Li frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and guessed, so he asked tentatively, "Could it be that Duke Ming is showing weakness to the enemy?" ”

Li Fengyun frowned slightly, "Now that the traces have been exposed, it is impossible to quietly enter the hinterland of Pyongyang, and as for the plan you offered at the beginning, there is no condition for implementation, so it is natural to change the plan immediately, and the best way is to show the enemy weakness, and use the Yin Yan to control the string as a bait to lure the enemy to attack, lure the snake out of the hole, and lure the Goguryeo people to the field for a decisive battle." We will use our strengths to attack the enemy's shortcomings, accomplish all of our work, and once we succeed, Pyongyang will have it at our fingertips. ”

Tie Li hesitated, and it was difficult to make a decision. Ashina Er, Mengba, and Yelu Tieli looked at each other, and invariably thought of an important question, is Li Fengyun overconfident and overly optimistic?

If Anton's main army could not arrive at the battlefield in time, or arrived at the battlefield in time, but could not fight a decisive battle, the advantage would turn into a disadvantage in a blink of an eye, tens of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of war horses would be hungry, and the army would be in a dilemma, and the consequences would be unimaginable. And more importantly, Goguryeo has resourceful commanders such as Eulji Wende, Jiang Yiwei, and Gao Jianwu, and you have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder, who dares to say that they will make mistakes in judgment and go to the middle of the plan? Once they saw through the trap, or had other countermeasures, they were bent on defending Pyongyang with heavy troops, even if they did not go out of the city, let alone fight the enemy in the field, Li Fengyun would have nothing to do, and where would the Anton Expeditionary Force go?

This is where the argument begins.

From the perspective of the Goguryeo people, based on the current predicament of the Goguryeo people, it is impossible for the Goguryeo people to fight on two fronts, and it is impossible for the Goguryeo people to actively fight a decisive battle with the Tatar people while resisting the attack of the Middle-earth people.

Therefore, Li Fengyun's strategy is questioned, if the lure of the enemy fails, the Goguryeo people defend according to the danger, close the door, and the 100,000 Andong army gathers east of Yalu Water, there is no food and grass inside, and there are no reinforcements outside, what should I do?

Therefore, they are cautious and conservative, and they are unwilling to take risks until they are forced to take a risk, after all, this Eastern Crusade, the victory of Middle Earth is in hand, as long as Andong's army breaks through the flank, effectively contain and disperse the Goguryeo forces, and help the main force of the Eastern Expedition quickly cross the Yalu water, then the two armies meet, hundreds of thousands of troops attack a crumbling Pyongyang, it is easy, and then everyone sits together and happily divides the spoils, how good.

As for what Li Fengyun said about the Emperor of Middle-earth to eradicate them, this is credible, the two sides are enemies, the hostility is long-term, the surrender is temporary, and the Emperor of Middle-earth has the opportunity to kill them, but because of this, Anton's side must preserve its strength, and it can't be a lose-lose fight with the Goguryeo people because of impulse, and let the Emperor of Middle-earth pick up a cheap "one-pot end" in vain.

Li Fengyun made a compromise and made two preparations, and chose to move forward to the south, first killing the Dading River and Sashui to burn and plunder, and at the same time ordered the main force of Andong's infantry corps to quickly cross the river from the direction of the domestic city to the east, and stride south to rendezvous. During this period, if the Goguryeo people took the initiative to attack and take the initiative to find a decisive battle against the Tatar people, then when the time was right, they would fully exert their superiority in strength to inflict heavy losses on the enemy by attacking more and outnumbering them, on the contrary, if the Goguryeo people held on to the city, refused to fight, and did not give the opponent a chance at all, then the Andong army took the initiative to expose it, concentrated its superior forces and swept across both sides of the Sashui River, wantonly burned, killed and plundered, and fed the war with war, while containing and attacking the Goguryeo people, it created an opportunity for the main force of the Eastern Expedition to force the Liaoshui in the shortest possible time.

In a word, Li Fengyun wants to advance towards Pyongyang, and Andong's army will not stagnate or regress on the way forward.

After the decision was formed, Li Fengyun ordered 100,000 people to urgently summon Gao Hu, the head of the dragoon army who stayed in the domestic city, and only waited for the main force of the infantry army to arrive in the domestic city and hand over the defense, then crossed the Yalu River and went south to meet in Jiangnan Mountain. Another 100,000 people urgently urged Li Zixiong that the situation of the battle had changed, and asked him to overcome all difficulties, lead the main force of the infantry corps to march eastward day and night, and strive to rush to the Jiangnan Mountain to rendezvous in the shortest possible time, so as to win the superiority in troops and do everything possible to control the situation of the war.

Li Fengyun also wrote to Li Hun that after entering the Hanchuan River, he should come to the domestic city as soon as possible, prepare to cross the river, and when the war situation is favorable to me, he will quickly cross the river and march eastward, join Pyongyang, and sack Goguryeo.
