Liaodong is bitter cold in winter, muddy in summer, the terrain is hilly and mountainous, the mountains and rivers are cut, not like the Central Plains Daze, the vast plain. Therefore more cities are built than on mountains. The country of Goguryeo was established on the mountain, and Goguryeo arose. Generally, the mountain cities established in Liaodong are generally selected in the steep mountains, the key points of the plains, rivers and land.

And Gaimu Castle (Note 1) is such a mountain city, encompassing the entire hill. Gaimu city is backed by mountains on three sides, and in front of it is a tributary of Liangshui, there are three horse blocking walls from the bottom of the mountain to the city gate, the antler ditch is distributed in the middle, the city wall of the mountain city is different from the loess rammed earth city of the Central Plains, all are built by wedge-shaped stones, the stones are staggered, and there is a horse face wall built on the city. The Goguryeo soldiers in armor with chisel-tipped iron spears and horns on their heads looked coldly at the steppe cavalry under the mountain through the rain and fog.

The terrain of the whole city of Gaimu, high in the west and low in the east, is in the shape of a dustpan, and the rainwater collects into it, draining down from the culvert of the city wall like a stream, washing on the Goguryeo under the barricade wall, and the corpses of the fallen soldiers of the Cangtou Army, and the blood and water are mixed with the rain and slowly falls.

The heavy rain was pouring, and the war horses trembled, shaking off the rain on their bodies, and the muddy water splashed everyone like mud monkeys. The rain slid down the edge of his helmet, and there was a rumbling sound of water in his ears, and Li Chongjiu looked at the city, as if to see some flaws in it.

Yang Linfu came dressed in a robe, stepped forward and said to Li Chongjiu: "Taishou, this rain is falling urgently, let's avoid it first!" ”

Li Chongjiu raised his horsewhip and pointed at the head of the city, and asked Yang Linfu: "Lin Fu, what if I want to pull out this Gaimu City?" ”

Yang Linfu's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "This Gaimu City is a county town, and there are enemy chieftains stationed in Lu, which is equivalent to my Dasui County Taishou. There are at least 3,000 garrisons and more, not to mention that the enemy army entering the city is 5,000, so there are nearly 10,000 enemy troops in the city, and the mountain city is strong enough to hold on, and it is a hundred times more difficult to capture this city than Liucheng. Taishou has now rescued the people, we don't have to lose troops in this city, and return to Liaoshui immediately! ”

Yang Linfu's meaning was to let Li Chongjiu not have to capture this Gaimu City, and immediately retreat and return. After listening to Yang Linfu's words, Wang Mahan on the side also said: "Xiao Jiu, what Yang Taishou said makes sense, there are only 700 defenders in Liucheng, and our brothers almost broke their teeth before gnawing down. And this Goguryeo city, the whole city is full of stones, and you can't eat it, and you can't gnaw it. Forget it, it's time to save it, it's okay to lose tens of thousands of grains and grass, go back. ”

Li Chongjiu listened to the words of Wang Mahan and Yang Linfu, shook his head, and said firmly: "Needless to say, I have decided to attack the city to avenge the tragic death of the soldiers in Tongding Town. ”

"Taishou! Satrap! "Wang Mahan and Yang Linfu are all discolored.

Li Chongjiu said in a deep voice: "I have my own way to capture this city, you can just make it." ”

At that moment, Li Chongjiu was categorical and said, "Pass the order, order Eto, Yinghefu, Wang Mahan, and Tudi Ji to lead their respective cavalry into the valley and sweep a Goguryeo village!" After the four of them heard General Li Chongjiu's order, they immediately responded to their promise.

"The herald ordered the six thousand foot soldiers to speed up the march and immediately rush to the city to prepare to participate in the siege."

Seeing that Li Chongjiu's intention was firm, Yang Linfu didn't believe it, what way did Li Chongjiu have to capture this Gaimu City with more than 10,000 troops. The Goguryeo people were famous for their ability to defend the city, and Liaodong itself was mostly stone cities and mountain cities, which were better defended than the rammed earth cities built on the plains of the Central Plains. The Sui army conquered Liao for the second time and attacked Liaodong City, and Yang Guang attacked Liaodong City with 300,000 troops for a month and a half, and the casualties were still heavy.

In later generations, Li Shimin, who was said to be unmatched in the prosperity of martial arts, was also frustrated under the city of Anshi when he conquered Goguryeo, and had to withdraw his troops.

Yang Linfu sat on the ground, looking up at the sky dejectedly, remembering the ups and downs of his officialdom for decades, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. When he first conquered Liao, although he was middle-aged, he was full of spirits and had great ambitions to make meritorious contributions, and he was a counselor of the military aircraft under Zhongwen's account. Sick in the second half of the way, he did not follow the mastermind Yu Zhongwen, and marched east to Pyongyang with the 30th Army.

When the army had arrived in Pyongyang less than 30 miles, the enemy's general Eulzhi Wende falsely said that if he returned to the army, he would send Gao Yuan to the eastern capital to meet Yang Guang. But when the Sui army returned to the division, Yizhi Wende attacked the Sui army's rear guard in Sashui...... Yang Linfu was sick at the time, and when he heard that 2,700 of the 300,000 people had finally returned, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl, almost crying blood, because his three sons were also in the army at that time. After the defeat of the division, Yu Zhongwen, who had the grace of knowing him, was accused by the courtiers of being the scapegoat for the defeat of the Liao expedition, and died of anger. When Yang Guang conquered Liao for the second time, Yang Linfu thought that he could take revenge, but he didn't expect Yang Xuan to rebel and give up halfway. The third expedition to Liao had to be canceled because of civil unrest in various places.

Yang Linfu was discouraged, but the Son of Heaven remembered his hard work and promoted him to serve as a taishou of Liaoxi County, but Luo Yi rebelled, and now he has returned to his hometown in eastern Liao, and advanced along the road of the 300,000-strong army of the Chinese New Year's Eve to conquer Liao. At that time, the army was more majestic, and it was the elite soldiers of the imperial court, but the good men who were alive and well today had good heads, but they were erected by the Goguryeo people in Liaodong as a tower, and the lonely soul wandered.

And the tens of thousands of troops in front of them are also going to be backward. That's it, that's it, anyway, if you don't die on the sickbed, it's good to die in Liaodong with Da Lang Erlang San Lang and them, Yang Linfu turned his heart and simply threw off his clothes.

Li Chongjiu glanced at Yang Linfu and asked, "You just said that this Gaimu City is a county seat?" How so?

Yang Linfu had put life and death aside at this time anyway, so he simply talked about it eloquently, saying: "In ancient times, when the king of Goguryeo was first set in Liaodong, he divided Liaodong with five tribes and ruled the country with cities. After that, Goguryeo's national strength became stronger, and it claimed to have 176 cities and 697,000 households, so it was changed to a county system. The country is still divided into five parts, the previous five parts of the mattress, can be compared with the governor, the city where it is stationed can be the state city, and the city is located, can be compared to the Taishou, the city where it is stationed is the county seat, and Keroda, comparable to the county order, the city where it is stationed is the county seat. ”

"Taishou, this Gaimu City is comparable to the county city."

Yang Linfu shook his head, at the beginning, Liaodong City was the location of the western camp, and the western Fusayuan Taizuo was used as the state city, with more than 10,000 soldiers to resist the 300,000 army of the Great Sui, a month and a half, until Yang Xuan rebelled, and the Gaimu City in front of him would not be inferior to Liaodong City, Li Chongjiu with 16,000 troops, without the assistance of siege equipment, wanted to capture the ...... Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "I see." Goguryeo actually had one hundred and seventy-six cities, with 697,000 households, and there were also ten households at the height of our Great Sui. ”

Yang Linfu shook his head when he saw that Li Chongjiu didn't hear his voice at all, but he still followed his topic and said: "No, this is more than that, you also have to count the Yao, which is a vassal of Goguryeo in Liaodong, and the two Khitan departments, which also have hundreds of thousands of people. In that year, the king of Goguryeo repeatedly attacked Baekje and Silla. The kings of Baekje and Silla asked for help from our Daesui, saying that once the two countries were destroyed, then the territory of Goguryeo could reach the Coastal Yang, and then it would inevitably invade westward, intending to compete with China. ”

"After the first emperor heard this, he thought it was true, so when he was old, he ordered Gao Gong, the prince of Qi, to lead an army of 300,000 to attack Goguryeo, but due to the epidemic, he lost ten teachers, and when today's son inherits the will of the first emperor and defeats Goguryeo three times, although my Great Sui has lost millions of teachers, but Goguryeo is by no means better, and the national strength is greatly damaged."

Li Chongjiu also showed a look of deep approval, before the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Beidi on the Mongolian steppe was a great disaster for the Central Plains Dynasty, but after the Sui and Tang dynasties, Liaodong replaced it, even Xianbei was from Liaodong. Therefore, Yang Guang wanted to destroy Goguryeo for the sake of future generations, not recklessly.

Speaking of this, Yang Linfu sighed and said: "The old man has fought in Liaodong for half his life, and his three sons are all folded in Liaodong. At present, if you can see the fall of Goguryeo in your life, the old man can smile at Jiuquan, but he is too guarded to fight like this. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Linfu held his face in his hands and sighed heavily, not knowing if he thought of his three sons.

Li Chongjiu looked at Yang Linfu and said, "Lin Fu, I promise you that in your lifetime, you will definitely be able to see Goguryeo perish one day." After that, Li Chongjiu turned over and left, and at this time the heavy rain had stopped, and the dark clouds in the air were rolling, forcing people to come.

At this time, after the heavy rain cleared, Li Chongjiu's more than 10,000 cavalry suddenly swept in all directions like a hurricane with Gaimu City as the center.

The Goguryeo people are called the city-dwellers in the city, and the people in the field are called the Gumin, and there are several villages in one valley, and the valley is under the jurisdiction of the Bedsa.

The place where Gaimu City is located is quite rich, and there are countless valley people settlements and villages around it. A piece of green crops in the field becomes the best sign of the village, and wherever there are crops, there must be a village. However, Li Chongjiu's cavalry came very quickly, and the cavalry searched along the crops and river valleys along the mountains and without missing a single bit.

Although the Goguryeo people received a warning from the beacon smoke, they did not have time to retreat to the mountains. In the seventh year of the Great Cause, when the Sui army conquered Liao, Eulzhi Wende carried out the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, and forcibly moved the Gu people to the deep mountains or Pyongyang, so the 300,000 Sui army had no supplies, but this time Li Chongjiu came suddenly, and the Goguryeo people had no time to react. As soon as the people got the news, a large force of cavalry had already surrounded the village.

The Goguryeo people were very strong, and even in this situation, they still resisted. When all these disobedient Goguryeo valley people were slashed with swords, the rest of them were taken prisoner. Their village was then ransacked. And these valley people were driven by the cavalry in the direction of Gaimu City.

Two days later, 30,000 unarmed Goguryeo people, driven by tens of thousands of cavalry, appeared under the city of Gamu.

Note 1: The remains of Gaimu City today are in the Tashan Mountain City in Shenyang.
