In Xincheng, Yang Wanchun is already very old, he has resisted Yang Guang before, and his defensive ability makes Gai Suwen trust him very much, and he is transferred from Anshi City to Xincheng to resist Li Xin's attack, the most important thing is to consume Li Xin's strength and delay Li Xin's time. Facts have proved that Yang Wanchun is really a powerful character, from the construction of the new city to the current defense, the 100,000 troops of Qin Qiong are blocked under the new city.

For this reason, Yang Wanchun not only received the commendation of Gai Suwen, but even the commendation of the king of Rongliu. Of course, the most important thing is Gai Suwen's reward, I heard that Yang Wanchun is ready to marry his daughter Yang Hongxu to Gai Suwen as a concubine. Although he is only a concubine now, Yang Wanchun knows that if Gai Suwen defeats Li Xin this time, he may steal Goguryeo's Jiangshan, and the position of a concubine can help him and his family to reach a higher level, Yang Wanchun thinks it is still worth it.

The new city in autumn is still relatively cool, Yang Wanchun leaned on the recliner very leisurely, this recliner is still from the Central Plains, I heard that it is still the masterpiece of the Tang Emperor Li Xin, but so what, now he is not very comfortable lying here, there are countless Tang soldiers outside the city to attack, how can not shake the wall of the new city at all.

"Father." A coquettish voice came, but I saw a coquettish woman coming slowly, holding a cup of tea in her hand, the woman's melon seed face, white complexion, superb appearance, especially a pair of eyes, like autumn water, all kinds of amorous, she is really Yang Wanchun's daughter Yang Hong.

"It's better to be a daughter, look at those boys, where is Hong'er so filial." Yang Wanchun looked at his daughter and nodded with satisfaction, he has three sons, namely Yang Hedong, Yang Henan, and Yang Hebei. But the most pampered is his daughter.

"The three brothers are all pillars of the imperial court, fighting for their father. has made great contributions, but only the daughter has nothing to do, and she can't help her father with anything, so she can only do what she can. Yang Hong hurriedly said.

"They can only build the family, but they can't protect the family, and the person who guards the family will fall to you in the future." Yang Wanchun sighed: "Gai Suwen is the wisest person I have ever seen in Goguryeo. If you can defeat Li Xin this time, his position will become more stable, and he will even go down that road, after you marry him, you must abide by your duty, and people like him will never disobey him. Only in this way can our Yang family get more. ”

"What the father said, the daughter remembered. Gai Suwen is the hero of my Goguryeo, if it weren't for the Yuan family, my Goguryeo would have been ruled by the Central Plains long ago. Yang Hong's eyes flashed with confusion, at this moment, up and down Goguryeo, who didn't know the heroic deeds of Gai Suwen, thousands of miles into the Central Plains, instigating the battle between the two major dynasties of the Central Plains, making the Central Plains Dynasty in the middle of disputes for nearly ten years. There was no time to take care of Goguryeo, which made Goguryeo easily occupy thousands of miles.

Up and down in Goguryeo. Gai Suwen is a hero and an invincible representative, so in the relationship with the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo chose war, and it is understandable that Goguryeo supports Gai Suwen from top to bottom. Yang Hong is Yang Wanchun's daughter and is a famous lady. Being able to be Gai Suwen's concubine, not only did she not feel wronged, but she was very excited, which shows the admiration of Goguryeo for Gai Suwen.

Yang Wanchun nodded, and sighed secretly in his heart. Others don't know the situation here, but Yang Wanchun knows, where is Gai Suwen dividing the two major dynasties of the Central Plains, it is clear that Li Xin wants to launch a war of unification, the so-called defeat of the Central Plains Dynasty, and occupy thousands of miles of land. As for whether they can defeat Li Xin this time, they can only see if God gives them a chance.

"Father, what kind of person is Li Xin? I heard that he can unify the Central Plains by luck, but the Central Plains Dynasty is so powerful, can he unify the world by luck? Then this Central Plains is not too weak. Yang Hong couldn't help but ask.

Yang Wanchun nodded, his daughter's performance made him very pleased, most of the words on the market belittled Li Xin without restrictions, but although his daughter revered Gai Suwen, she still had a trace of reason and understood the mystery in it. He said at the moment: "Li Xin is a very powerful person, he also appeared when Emperor Yang of Sui fought with us under Liaodong City before that year. A longbow weighed down the soldiers on the city wall and couldn't lift their heads. Simply enough, he left Liaodong later, otherwise, the current situation in Liaodong is really difficult to say. This person started from scratch and spent more than ten years unifying the Central Plains, which is very powerful. If it is not necessary, the father does not want to be an enemy of this person. ”

"So powerful?" Yang Hong's small mouth was open, but he didn't expect Li Xin, who was incompetent in the world, to be so powerful.

"Boom! Boom! Suddenly, there was a burst of war drums in the distance, the drums shook the sky, shaking the entire new city, Yang Wanchun's face changed, this may be the signal of Qin Qiong's large-scale attack.

"Hooray, hooray!"

At this time, there were bursts of "long live" voices in Yang Wanchun's ears, the voice was even higher, and the morale was majestic, he was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Li Xin is here." As he spoke, he dropped the tea in his hand and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the house. Behind him, Yang Hong didn't know what information it came from, and he didn't sort it out, so he beckoned your maid next to him and went to the new city together.

Xincheng is a city built by Goguryeo on the side of the Liao River, used to resist the frontier position of the Central Plains invasion, behind it is Liaodong City, Yang Wanchun personally led the construction of the new city, using the capture of the Sui army, forced to build a stone city, and when he went up the city wall, Yang Wanchun's three sons and deputy general Liu Qi and other generals have been on the city wall.

"It's really Li Xin here." Yang Wanchun looked at the big camp in the distance, under the bright yellow banner, countless black cavalry guarding a golden armor general was slowly coming, under the sun, the black armor flashed with a murderous aura, although the distance was relatively far, but Yang Wanchun's eyes seemed to be able to see through the man riding a tall horse, and the momentum was so majestic.

"Li Xin?" A burst of aroma swept over, and she saw that Yang Hong didn't know when she appeared beside her, and her face showed surprise, she had watched Datang's army when Qin Qiong had just arrived in Xincheng, and at that time, she didn't feel the strength of Datang. But at this moment, she finally saw the true essence of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Emperor came here, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty let out bursts of angry roars, shaking the entire new city, and the momentum was majestic. Even Yang Hongfen's face also changed color.

"Yes, this is the emperor of ****." Yang Wanchun sighed: "Now that the 150,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty are under the city, since Li Xin has come, it means that the Tang Emperor has integrated the internal rebellion, and soon, more troops will come here." "Yang Wangchun once heard Gai Suwen say that he and the people within the Tang Dynasty joined together to deal with Li Xin, and now Li Xin has led the army to come. That means that the contradictions within Datang have been resolved, and without the matter of collusion within Datang, there will be no strength to deal with Li Xin. Li Xin can finally get a large number of soldiers and horses, can Xincheng withstand Li Xin's attack?

Yang Wanchun felt a little bad at the moment. He suddenly felt that his new city could not resist Li Xin, maybe he should send his daughter to Liaodong, he looked at Yang Hong beside him. He has the duty of guarding the land in the new city, but his daughter is not, maybe he should leave a little thought. Yang Wanchun knew what he was doing in Xincheng. I don't know how many soldiers in the Central Plains died in their own hands, once the new city was breached. The entire Yang family will definitely be killed by Li Xin.

"Your Majesty."

In the big tent of the Chinese army, hundreds of generals stood aside respectfully along with the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Yuancheng.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, I finally stepped into the land of Liaodong again, I followed Yang Guang back then, but at that time, there were only hundreds of people around me. At that time, I was thinking about conquering the city in front of me, and now I finally have such an opportunity, how about it, is Yang Wanchun really so powerful? Li Xin said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Yang Wanchun has a hand in defense. Although the ministers have no conscience cannon in their hands, but the new city is made of mountain stones, outside the mountain stones, with a large amount of earth rammed, no conscience cannon on it, there is no big threat to the city, the only good point is to fall on the city wall, there are some losses to those soldiers. The minister once wanted to use explosives to blow up the city, but Yang Wanchun seemed to have been prepared, and the ministers and others failed several times, and lost a lot of troops. Qin Qiong said with some shame.

"Yes! Your Majesty, this Yang Wanchun is like a turtle, with a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands, but he doesn't come out to attack and shrinks into the city wall. Cheng Yanjin said dissatisfiedly.

"He is mainly used to hold us back, not to win, as long as to keep the new city, how can such a person come out to fight us?" Li Xin said indifferently: "If we want to conquer the new city, we can't rely on our own field strength now, it's more to test our siege ability, how do you think we should attack the new city in front of us?" Li Xin's gaze swept over everyone, waiting for Zhongzhong's reply, the solidity of the new city is a fact that cannot be changed, and if you want to attack the new city, you must use other methods.

"Your Majesty, why don't we surround the point and send reinforcements, Xincheng is extremely important, we can surround it, not only can reduce losses, but also destroy the army that Goguryeo came to the rescue." Cheng Yanjin said loudly.

"I'm afraid this won't work, the new city is well defended, and there is a lot of grain and grass in it, and it may be difficult to deal with the new city with a siege." Luo Shixin retorted: "The minister thinks that we can learn from Li Yuan's method back then, we will give up Xincheng and not fight, and use a small number of soldiers and horses to deal with Xincheng, and most of the soldiers and horses to deal with Goguryeo, so that Yang Wanchun's trick will not succeed, and even need to rescue Liaodong City." Then we will annihilate it. ”

Luo Shixin's strategy made people stunned in the big tent, and the eldest grandson Wuji's eyes lit up, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that General Luo's words are very reasonable, since Yang Wanchun wants us to besiege Xincheng, why don't we simply let some soldiers and horses besiege Xincheng, and the main force will detour to Xincheng and attack Liaodong City." If Yang Wanchun doesn't come out to rescue Liaodong City, we will simply conquer Liaodong City, if we come to rescue Liaodong City, we will be able to eat Yang Wanchun's men and horses, and the Goguryeo army that has lost the protection of the city wall will definitely not be our opponent. ”

Everyone also nodded, Li Xin also nodded, shook his head again, and said: "What you said is reasonable, but you have forgotten one thing, that is, whether it is a new city or a Liaodong city, it is not only a strong city, but more importantly, there is a lot of grain and grass in the city. Let them not have the fighting spirit to duel with us. ”

"Your Majesty, we have no conscience cannons, as well as bows and arrows, I heard that when Your Majesty conquered the city before, he used to build a hill with clay, and the army occupied the hill, using bows and arrows, cannons and other weapons to look down on the enemy's city wall, and the minister thought he could try." It was Lee Hyo-gong who spoke. The former general of the Li clan finally began to speak.

"Although this method is a little stupid, it can be implemented." Li Xin glanced at everyone, and seeing that everyone did not object, he nodded immediately and said, "Since this is the case, let's do it according to this method!" Qin Qiong was the supervising army, picked up soil and sand from the Liao River next to him, and began to pile up a small mountain. ”

"Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the tunnel can still be dug a little, and the tunnel dug this time is not only to dig wide, deep, but also long, all the way to the Liao River, and it is best to dig it for the enemy to see." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, and even Li Xin couldn't help but point to the eldest grandson Wuji and said: "What kind of enmity does this new city have with your auxiliary machine, you actually want to use the water of the Liao River to destroy the entire new city." ”

"Your Majesty, I heard that there are still many soldiers of the former dynasty in the new city, why don't your Majesty exchange these soldiers with prisoners, recuperate for a month, and decide to provide a new force for Your Majesty. These soldiers have a great hatred for Goguryeo, and if they are used on the battlefield, they will be a division of tigers and wolves! Wei Yuancheng said in a low voice.

Li Xin was silent after hearing this, and finally nodded and said: "Since this is the case, let's do what Wei Qing wants, after those soldiers come back, don't let them go to the battlefield, let's go home!" They haven't been home for more than a decade. ”

"Your Majesty is merciful." After everyone heard this, they spoke out one after another.

"Strengthen the security around the new city, be careful that Gai Suwen will send troops to support the new city." Li Xin Zhengrong said. (To be continued.) )
