Chengshan Mountain City East and West Mountain City are only 50 miles away from Jili Mountain City.

In the north of Jili City, it is the southern gateway of Jian'an Prefecture, guarding the two mountain passes of Gaoli Mountain and Laomao Mountain leading to Jian'an Prefecture, and two mountain towns, one east and one west, guard this mountain pass. On the left is Mt. Koryo and on the right is Mt. Lao Mo. Lao Mo Shan is the birthplace of the Fudu River in the east and the Lao Sha River in the west, the Fudu River originates from Lao Mo Mountain, and then passes through the south of Chengshan Mountain City, becoming the southwest boundary line between Jili Prefecture and Jian'an Prefecture, and then flows into the Bohai Sea.

This is a rare twin city, the two mountain cities are not small, each with a circumference of five li, it was built during the Goguryeo period, and the two cities are only two miles apart.

However, as the gateway between Jili Prefecture and Jian'an Prefecture, it has always been a heavily guarded place in Jili Prefecture, and the original two mountain cities once had more than 50,000 people, and there were more than 30,000 people in the mountain cities alone.

However, the last time the Khitan broke through these two mountain cities, and most of the people in the city were taken away when they left, and after the Khitan left, many people from the two cities returned, but there were less than 10,000 people left in the city.

Gao Zhaokang climbed to the top of the city and looked into the distance.

But I saw the hills undulating, the mountains reckless, and a desolate color.

To the south behind him is the Fudu River, and behind that is Li Jing's army.

The summer is long, and the sun is shining hot, which makes people's hearts even more irritated.

Gao Bing, the former governor of Jili Prefecture, stood behind Gao Zhaokang, looking at the young master, his slightly thin face full of worry.

Gao Bing is now the marching Sima of the Korean army, although he is a retainer of the Gao family as always, he is now holding Li Jing's bowl. Voted for the Don Army. Gao Bing didn't have much of an opinion. Opposite. I was relieved. In the territory of Liaodong, the Goguryeo people are the old masters, but there was the Tang Dynasty and then the Bohai Sea, and now the Bohai Sea and the Tang Dynasty have weakened, but the Khitan has risen again. The Khitan became stronger, and Tang killed Li Jing to Liaodong again. This is really a wolf in front of a tiger and a tiger in the back, and the Goguryeo people are completely hopeless.

Either vote for the Khitan or the Tang Army.

Gao Bing was willing to join the Tang Army. After all, although the Khitan and Tang have been at war for so many years, they actually won more and lost less. can win more and lose less, and the last defeat is also the Khitan. The Tang army is like a tiger, and the Khitan can be regarded as a wolf at most. Even if the wolf adds a few more wounds to the tiger, it is difficult to kill. And the tiger only needs to catch the wolf once, and the wolf is defeated. Moreover, it was Li Jing who entered the Tang army, and this was not just a general appointed by the imperial court, but a heavy soldier. An extremely powerful feudal town.

However, it is clear that although the conditions given by Li Jing after surrender are also very generous. But Li Jing's subordinates are not so easy to stay.

If you go up the mountain to be a bandit, you have to surrender your name, and if you surrender to Li Jing, you also have to accept your name.

"Childe!"

"Huh?"

Gao Bing held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Childe has really figured it out in his heart, is he willing to smile and enmity with Li Jing?" ”

Gao Zhaokang's face was expressionless, "Do you think I should just forget it?" ”

"The arm can't twist the thigh, and the one who knows the times is a handsome!" Gao Bing sighed.

Gao Zhaokang turned around, with pain on his face, "I know that if I could, I would have wanted to break Li Jing's body into ten thousand pieces, but I didn't have a choice, did I?" ”

"It's right for Childe to think so, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. At the moment, we are completely pinched by Li Jing's hands, and we must not act rashly. You might as well wait for the right time. Now that Gongzi has become the commander of the North Korean army, he has to seize this opportunity. As long as we can make a contribution, we have been in control of a team of our soldiers and horses, and slowly accumulate, there will always be opportunities. Gao Bing patiently persuaded.

"But I'm unwilling, Li Jing took away my wife, but I still have to give him my life, I can't eat or sleep when I think about it, and my heart is uncomfortable."

"If you can't eat, you have to eat, and if you can't sleep, you have to sleep. Only by enduring humiliation can we achieve great things, which is also a test. Think about the soldier saint Han Xin, who was also humiliated by his crotch back then. ”

Gao Bing said it so clearly, how could Gao Zhaokang's cleverness not understand. In fact, he himself has known these truths for a long time, but he is uncomfortable in his heart. At this time, I talked with Gao Bing for a while, and my heart was much more comfortable.

"Do you think Jerudach will be fooled?" Gao Zhaokang no longer mentioned the troublesome thing. Li Jing is really powerful, he actually came up with such a plan, the most critical thing about this strategy is still in him, it is estimated that no one would have thought that Li Jing would actually believe him. But who can understand the hardship that he had to do this.

"Yelu Daru and Yelu Dachi are not too smart people, Li Jing's plan is very tricky, as long as Yelu Dachi is greedy for us, he will be fooled."

Gao Zhaokang slammed his fist on the wall, "Maybe I should really defect to the Khitans, lead them back to Jili Prefecture, and give Li Jing a good look!" ”

"Childe!" Gao Bing shouted.

Gao Zhaokang grabbed a handful of hair fiercely, "I know the Dao, I know what to do is right, but there is always a fire in my heart." ”

A horse galloped into the city, and the knight ran up to the city, shouting a loud report.

"Report, Yelu Dachi has led 6,000 men and horses to ten miles away!"

Finally came, Gao Zhaokang's heart was full of complexity, and seeing that everything was as Li Jing calculated, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

"Childe, please give orders!" Gao Bing stood next to him and said loudly.

"I know what to do, don't worry!" Gao Zhaokang nodded to Gao Bing, and then ordered loudly.

Half an hour later, Gao Zhaokang brought more than 10,000 old and weak people in the two cities to the mouth of the valley under the city to greet them, and let the gate of the city be opened, and asked his 1,000 soldiers and horses to abandon their weapons and armor on both sides of the road.

A moment later, smoke and dust rose from the north, and a Khitan light horse took the lead in galloping. The knights on horseback were bald on the top of their heads, with only a few extra ornaments on their temples or foreheads, and some with a row of short hair in front of their foreheads; Some wear sideburns around their ears, while others trim their left and right locks of hair into various shapes and then hang down to their shoulders. These knights wore a robe on the left side, with a round neck, narrow sleeves, trouser cuffs in boots, and leather belts around their waists.

Gao Zhaokang hurriedly stepped forward, saluted the Khitan knights, and signed up: "Gao Zhaokang, the eldest son of the governor of Gaodu in Xiajili Prefecture, is here to greet you at the order of his father. ”

When the Khitan knights saw this situation at the foot of the mountain, they nodded, and one of the big men asked Gao Zhaokang to go with him to meet Yelu Dachi.

Gao Zhaokang and his knights drove several miles north, and at the foot of a mountain, they saw the soldiers and horses resting in the red plain of Yeluda. The Khitans were very careful, and did not go to Chengshan Mountain City immediately, but stopped here and sent a small team of people to Chengshan Mountain City, which shows that Yelu Dachi is not a brainless person.

Yerodachi was forty years old, with large shoulders and a round waist, and the top of his head was bald, and he had only two locks of hair on his ears, which were tied into two pigtails. On the left ear, there was also a gold ring as big as a bracelet hanging through the hole. On a hot day, he was dressed in a dazzling golden lacquer Qilin Mountain Treasure Armor. Gao Zhaokang felt very familiar at first glance, the suit of armor that Li Jing wore when he entered Jili City and surrendered was like this.

Yelude glared at a pair of bull's eyes, and looked at Gao Zhaokang condescendingly on the horse, but the two of them had fought a few times when they were attacking and defending Jili City, and they were old acquaintances.

"General Gao really wants to surrender my Khitan?"

Gao Zhaokang said: "How dare you be fake, the gates of the twin cities are wide open, the people and soldiers in the city have already greeted them at the foot of the mountain, and the soldiers have also disarmed and abandoned their weapons." ”

"Why do you want to surrender?"

"The Tang army is going north, the momentum is huge, Jili Prefecture is difficult to stop, the grain and grass are useless, it is difficult to survive on its own, think about it, and the only way to go is to defect to your department." Gao Zhaokang pretended to have a helpless expression and said.

"Hahaha!" Yelu Dachi smiled proudly, and almost swallowed Jili Prefecture last year, but he was most worried about Li Jing and had to withdraw. Unexpectedly, until now, the Goguryeo people have sent it to the door by themselves. Although there are actually not a few pieces of meat left in the current Jili State, it still makes a lot of sense to accept their surrender. At least, after getting Jili Prefecture, he could use Jili Prefecture and the Goguryeo people to resist the Tang army and buy more time for the Lian Lai Division. "General Gao's choice is good, I believe you won't regret it."

After speaking, he jumped off the horse and stretched out his big hand to pat Gao Zhaokang's shoulder a few times, "Li Jingqiang robbed your wife, I also heard about it." The hatred of taking his wife, as long as he is a man, he has to fight with Li Jing endlessly. If it were me, I would have to chop his with a knife and feed it to the dog. Don't worry, since you have returned to my Khitan, then we will help you snatch back the daughter-in-law of the princess of Bohai. ”

Which pot is not opened, Gao Zhaokang's face will be blue and purple for a while, and it will be extremely ugly. However, in Yelu Dachi's eyes, he thought that he had poked at his sore spot and aroused his hatred for Li Jing.

Yelu Dachi no longer had any doubts, and believed in the surrender of the Gao clan, so he led his troops and horses to the surrender and accepted the mountain city.

The high soldiers under the mountain city lined up with the old and weak to greet them, and the thousand defenders abandoned their armor and weapons on the side of the road. The troops and horses of the governor's subordinates were divided into two divisions, and 3,000 men and horses each immediately entered the east and west cities.

The Goguryeo soldiers were camped at the foot of the mountain by Yelu Dachi, but the people were allowed to return to the two cities.

After entering the two cities, Yelu Dachi unceremoniously immediately sealed and occupied all the treasury and other treasures in the two cities. Gao Zhaokang didn't dare to complain, but came to the army with wine and meat together with the officials and big families in the two cities.

Yelu Dachi brought 6,000 soldiers and horses, 2,000 regular soldiers and 4,000 auxiliary troops, and at this time he was too lazy to send auxiliary troops to fight the grass valley, and drank happily in the city.

"Where is Tang Jun now?" Yelu Dachi was still a little worried about Jili Mountain City, and when he looked at and listened to his subordinates' reports on the gold, silk, money and grain copied from the treasury, he asked Gao Zhaokang.

Gao Zhaokang personally poured wine for Yelu Dachi, and said with a smile: "General, please rest assured, the Tang Army's vanguard has just captured Langu Mountain City, and it is still there for a while, and it is still a hundred miles away from Jili Mountain City." It is estimated that there will be at least three days left before we reach Jili City. Tonight, the general and his subordinates can eat and drink at ease, and then rest all night, set off tomorrow morning, only fifty miles to Jili Mountain City, the cavalry can arrive in one day, just rushed to Jili City for dinner, and then there are two days of rest waiting for the arrival of the Tang army. ”

"Well, that's right!" Jerodacchi was very satisfied. (To be continued......)
