Chapter 226: Shocking News

Chen Kefu smiled and ...... good news is that His Majesty the Emperor has approved the appointment of generals at all levels of the Liaodong camp, and there are rewards for generals at all levels of the camp. Vice Marshal Li, Mao Sima, and Li Changshi all added loose officials and honorable officers from the second grade, and also named the deputy marshal as the Marquis of Fuyu, Mao Sima as the Marquis of Xincheng, and Li Changshi as the Marquis of Gaimu.

Li Benlei, who has always been steady, couldn't restrain his movements after hearing this, learned literary and martial arts, and sold the goods to the emperor's family. Isn't this what being a soldier is a general and fighting on the battlefield? Li Jie is also moved, although he was born in a big aristocracy and is not worried about the title, but being able to personally fight a marquis to pass on to future generations still makes him moved.

Only Mao Xi was unmoved, he was already the Duke of Nanchen twenty years ago, not to mention that their goal was to overthrow the Sui Dynasty, so he didn't care what title the Sui Dynasty gave.

Mao Bo frowned, and said in disbelief, "You just said that the letter was sent back from Pyongyang, and we don't know the news from the Central Plains yet, why did Pyongyang, which is thousands of miles away, know about it first?" Li Jie was stunned for a moment, and his face froze there, "Mao Sima, do you mean that this information is fake?" Impossible, right? "If it's fake, then he's happy in vain. But when they think about it, Liaodong City is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and Pyongyang is still thousands of miles east of them, and they don't know where the Goguryeo people got the news. ”

Looking at the disappointed looks of Li Jie and Li Benlei, Chen Kefu smiled and said, "This thing should be true, although the Liao people are still east of us." However, we should not forget that when the news from the DPRK and China reached us, we had to travel by land through the entire western part of Liaoning, and the road was difficult along the way, especially the swampy land of hundreds of miles in western Liaoning, which took a long time. However, the Liao people to the east of us can go to sea from Shandong in less than half a day after the spies have obtained the information, and then they can take a boat south and send them to Pyongyang within a few days.

So I think it's true. ”

"There is another news from the Central Plains obtained by the Liaoren, that is, His Majesty has dispatched Zhang Xutuo, the ambassador of Henan Province to arrest, as the ambassador of Liaodong Province, and ordered him to lead his subordinates to Liaodong for reinforcements. In addition, he also ordered Su Wei, the prime minister of the DPRK and China, to be the ambassador of Liaodong Province to comfort Liaodong. I believe that it will not be long before they can reach Liaodong, and with the arrival of the famous General Zhang, I believe that we will be able to greatly increase our strength.

After hearing the news, the three of them all had different expressions, Mao Bo's face was gloomy, and Li Benlei was silent, even Li Jie actually frowned. Guan Jian is the name of Sutuo and Su Wei, who came to aid Liaodong, but he has an official position that is not subordinate to the Liaodong camp at all.

According to common sense, Zhang Xutuo's reinforcement of Liaodong should be in the name of a deputy commander of the Liaodong camp, even if the emperor wants to send a comforting ambassador to Liaodong, called comfort, secretly supervising the army. But it should also be sent to a low-grade point, and a prime minister was sent all of a sudden, so that Chen Kefu, the marshal of Liaodong, would be suppressed all of a sudden. The three of them were all smart, and with a turn of their minds, they had already guessed some of the emperor's thoughts.

Although usually, Li Benlei, Mao Xi, and Li Jie all have their own ideas, and even represent the three factions in the camp of Ziliao Dongxing. But in the face of the imminent external forces, the three of them couldn't help but worry a lot.

Li Jie hesitated and said, "I don't know how many soldiers and horses General Zhang brought over this time?" "At present, there are nearly 160,000 horses in the Liaodong camp, and there are absolutely many generals, but they are a new army. However, Zhang Xutuo's reputation has been far away over the years, and he even faintly has the second evaluation of Shi Wansui.

In just a few years, Zhang Xutuo has ascended to the position of a first-line general in the Great Sui Dynasty with his Eight Winds Battalion. Such a powerful horn sè came to Liaodong, if there are more soldiers and horses in his hands, then who will have the final say in Liaodong in the future, it is really difficult to say.

Especially behind such a cowman, there is also a prime minister who comes with him. Although Li Jie did not deal with Chen Kefu, he was also from the Liaodong camp, so he naturally had to stand with the Liaodong camp at this time.

Mao Bo smiled bitterly, "This is really good news, so wouldn't the next bad news be even worse?" Chen Kefu looked at the school field, at this time, the military flags were unfurled, and the generals and schools stationed in various places gathered together, in piles of three or five. chatted about their own army together, and laughter and laughter occurred from time to time.

With a sigh, Chen Kefu said calmly, "Goguryeo has already sent troops in the two cities of China and Wugu, with Yizhi Wende in command, Gao Jianwu and Yuan Jingshui as deputy commanders, and it will be able to reach the outside of Liaodong City in half a month at most." Li Benlei's face sank, and he asked urgently, "The Liao people have already sent troops?" How many men did they dispatch? Has Yuan Ziyou already ignored the lives of his son and brother? ”,

"Yuan Ziyou probably has already seen our delaying tactics, and now he sees that the rescue is hopeless, so he gave up. Yizhi Wende commanded 100,000 horses and horses to go out of the domestic city, Gao Jianwu commanded horses to go out of Wugu City, and Yuan Jingshui had reached Beisha City, where he would take up 30,000 soldiers and horses on the Liaodong Peninsula to the north. In addition, 300,000 Goryeo slaves were responsible for transporting grain and grass.

Mao Xi mō had a gray beard, his brows were furrowed, and he asked in a deep voice, "150,000 troops, 300,000 slaves, are the Liao people really crazy?" These armies, but the number of soldiers and horses of the Liao people, do the Liao people really want to fight with us? "The Goguryeo people fought against the Great Sui for several years in a row, and their strength was greatly damaged. Especially this time, the entire line of the Liao River was lost, and half of the kingdom's war reserves were lost. And it also lost nearly sixty percent of the grass team and nearly thirty percent of the population at once. Now the whole of Goguryeo only has a population of about 2 million, but it has dispatched 150,000 troops and 300,000 slaves at once, which is equivalent to Goguryeo mobilizing all adult men to participate in the war. This is definitely a battle for the whole country, victory, recapture of Liaodong, defeat, and the whole of Goguryeo will have no chance to breathe. From then on, there will be no more such a dynasty in history.

Shen Guang, Lu Shishen and other fierce generals were speechless in surprise, they didn't expect that this Goguryeo king could really be so amazing. What a desperate determination it must have been for a king to make such a determination.

Looking at the surprised expressions of the generals, Chen Kefu shook his head, "Actually, Gao Yuan is not crazy, he is not gambling." Rather, he was sure that he was sure of victory, and it was precisely because he was sure of victory that he dared to pour the country into battle. "No way, there is no such thing as a winning battle in war. Now our army is sitting in Liaodong, the city is high and the walls are strong, and the food and salary are sufficient, so it will not be a problem to defend it for a few years. What's more, behind us is the Great Sui, and the imperial court can send reinforcements to support us at any time. Although the Goguryeo people had 150,000 soldiers and horses, they were forced to go on an expedition, and logistics and supply were difficult. In addition, the current time is not suitable for war at all. I think I besieged Liaodong City twice before and after, and hundreds of thousands of elite troops still besieged Liaodong City for several months, why did he Gao Yuan think that his 150,000 soldiers would be able to fight in one battle? ”

Li Jie shook his head and retorted loudly.

Chen Kefu said calmly, "When Your Majesty besieged Liaodong City, although there were hundreds of thousands of troops, the people in the city who defended the city were also 100,000 elite soldiers of Goguryeo. Now that the offense and defense have changed hands, although we also have more than 100,000 soldiers, there are only more than 20,000 veterans, and the gap is still very large. In addition, although we are backed by the Great Sui, the reinforcements from the Central Plains to Liaodong will at least take more than a month. What if Gao Yuan is confident that he can break through Liaodong City and take our army when reinforcements arrive? ”

"This is even more impossible, I want to take Liaodong City in a month, that is Gao Yuan's dream of the Spring and Autumn Period, if his soldiers and horses are doubled, and they are all elite soldiers, there is still a little possibility. Now, with his hundreds of thousands of weak soldiers, he also wants to take Liaodong Jiancheng in a month?

Dream. Li Jiedu already felt a little angry, he didn't know why Chen Kefu kept increasing the prestige of the Liao people and extinguishing his own spirit.

"What if Gao Yuan is more than just these centaurs?" As soon as these words came out, all the generals changed into sè in unison, and the 150,000 soldiers and horses of Goguryeo already made everyone feel that it was difficult to deal with it, and they were ready to defend it to the death. But now that Dashuai actually said such a sentence, is there any unknown variable in the matter?

Chen Kefu sighed, "That's all the bad news I said before, the Liao people sent 150,000 soldiers and horses to fight in the country, this is already a fact that we have known for a long time." The real bad news is that Gao Yuan is really crazy this time! Speaking of this, Chen Kefu couldn't keep calm, and his face collapsed tightly.

"Goguryeo saw that the country was about to be destroyed, so it was also out of the way. According to the secret letter sent back from Pyongyang, the Goguryeo people had already begun to send several envoys to Shoeju, Khitan, Murowei, Xi, Dongying, Baekje, and Turkic before His Majesty withdrew his troops, and they had only one purpose, to borrow troops from the alliance. ”

Mao Bo frowned and said, "This is unlikely, if it is really as the marshal said, then the Khitan and the Shoju clan have now allied with us, why have they never said this?" ”

"Because they are looking for the Dahe clan of the Khitan and the Heishui tribe of Han Ju, and these two clans have no contact with us. The intelligence said that the Turks rejected the request of the Goguryeo, and the Xi also refused. Now the Khitan Dahe clan is being attacked by the Khitan Nine Tribal Alliance, and even if you want to, you can't come, which is good news in bad news. However, Chen Kefu's words did not make the generals half a point easier, Goguryeo borrowed troops from the seven forces, but now only three parties will not participate in this war. Then, in other words, it is possible for the remaining Quartet to lend troops to Goguryeo and send troops to Liaodong.

A Goguryeo has already poured out the country and mobilized 150,000 soldiers and horses. If the Quartet forces come again, even if one side sends 10,000 soldiers and horses, this is definitely not bad news.

In the laughter and laughter of the big school, the highest-ranking generals of the Liaodong camp were all frowning, and Yīn was calm and silent.
