Chapter 511: Youzhou reinforcements are blocked, the Tang Dynasty is shocked to hear the bad news
In Youzhou City, the garrison Chai Shao can be said to be very leisurely recently. Originally, Youzhou was located at the junction of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo and Khitan, but now it is not. There are five cities in Liaodong in the east, and Cheng Yaojin is stationed in Youzhou, so Youzhou can be said to be very peaceful.
Chai Shao’s task every day is to check the city defense, train troops, and at the same time, he also handles the Khitan trade part-time when there is nothing to do. After all, the output of the Khitan, Shiwei and Mohist Kingdom is largely divided into Youzhou and enter the Tang Dynasty, and Youzhou needs to be allocated.
Chai Shao was still inspecting the city defense on that day, but saw a fast horse coming from the east with a banner. The banner was clearly 800 miles in a hurry.
I was puzzled, was there something happened in the east?
After quickly getting off the city, Chai Shao intercepted the messenger at the gate of the city. When he saw it recently, he turned out to be the messenger from Yingzhou to the east of Youzhou.
"General, Liaodong is in urgent need!"
What???
I thought it was something in Yingzhou, but when I heard that Liaodong was in trouble, Chai Shao realized that something happened to Lao Cheng.
He quickly took the secret letter and opened it and saw that Chai Shao was shocked.
"The Yingzhou garrison Lu Pingchuan reported that he had received a horse from the special envoy of Liaodong City to the east. Liaodong City was in an emergency, and no less than 50,000 Khitan troops attacked Liaodong City.
Before this, Beisha City was in a hurry, and 50,000 people besieged Beisha City. General Cheng led 15,000 Liaodong troops to rescue him quickly. The next day, Liaodong was attacked by the Khitan. When Liaodong messengers set off, it was the time when all the five thousand defenders in Liaodong were broken.
After receiving the news, General Lu Pingchuan did not dare to neglect his squadron immediately sent a messenger to inquire. He wanted to send troops to rescue him first, but the scouts went east less than 200 miles, and saw an army of 50,000 people standing firmly outside Huaiyuan Pass. Looking at the banner, there were Khitans and Marines.
Based on this, we can see that Liaodong City may have fallen into the enemy's hands. According to the Liaodong messenger, General Cheng originally intended to take away half of the defenders of Anshi City, Jian'an City and Jili City along the way. In this way, the three cities are also empty in defense. If the Khitan army continues to move south, the situation in Liaodong may not be optimistic.
Therefore, the general will urgently submit it to the general for a decision.”
Chai Shao quickly read the complete sealed letter and his eyes turned red in an instant. Goguryeo 50,000, Khitan 50,000, and Mohe participated in the war. Liaodong City fell. This is enough to judge that the situation in Liaodong has been out of control. Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda may have a life or death.
"Come here, 800 miles of Chang'an are urgently prepared, and 800 miles of Yunzhou are urgently prepared.
The deputy general, beat the drum and promoted the tent, first-level combat preparations, and all the Youzhou military camps were ready for combat.
The Wuhou law enforcement team in the city ordered that all Khitans, Goguryeo, and Mohe people, whether they were business travelers or others, would be arrested and not allowed to let go."
Just when Chai Shao sent a messenger to report it urgently, under the city of Beisha, the two men of Goguryeo, the Khitan and the Miche had already joined.
Goguryeo sent 110,000 troops to kill 30,000 troops, Khitan sent 80,000 troops, and Maruhe sent 50,000 troops to capture the other four cities. The two countries lost 10,000 respectively.
Under Beisha City are 80,000 Goguryeo, 50,000 Khitan Marines, and 130,000 troops surrounded Beisha City. Cheng Yaojin couldn't even break through.
The remaining 50,000 Khitan Marine soldiers were guarding the entrance to Liaodong - Huaiyuan Pass, and garrisoned with 50,000, which was already very strong. There were also four other cities stationed a small number of soldiers and horses. After all, the Tang soldiers in the city had long been slaughtered, and there was no danger.
In the tent of the coalition army, Notha Yanshou and Khitan general Muliye and the chief general Agutu discussed together.
Muliye’s idea is to attack the city, breaking the city and taking people is the right way. Although Agutu did not say it clearly, looking at his greedy eyes, it probably means the same as Muliye.
Notha Yanshou shook his head and said, "No, the enemy has an army of 60,000 to defend the city. Although we have an army of 130,000, the Beisha City is strong. If you want to break through, you may not be able to lose without 80,000. This loss is too great and we cannot afford it."
this……
The other two were also silent. Among the 130,000, there were 50,000 of them, and the loss of 80,000 was lost. If the person from Goguryeo let Khitan or Marty take the lead, would the entire army be wiped out? So the two of them listened to the advice and did not persist anymore.
"Our purpose is to take these two people as hostages and exchange envoys with the Tang Dynasty. Now the purpose has been achieved, so there is no need to sacrifice unnecessary. It is to send someone to send letters to the Tang Dynasty."
Notha Yanshou knew it well, and the other two were just trying to rob Beisha City and make money, a pair of idiots.
Goguryeo has lost 30,000 people and attacked the city again. Even if it only loses 30,000, this war will be enough to break the bones, so the loss is not worth the effort.
Seven days later, when Chang'an was celebrating the joy of immortal grain, the messenger in Youzhou poured a basin of cold water on everyone.
The people looked at the messengers whizzing past, and they were puzzled. Youzhou? Since Wang Junkuo was settled and he fought to Goguryeo, there had been no war for many years. Where did the emergency come from?
Li Er looked at the letter sent by Chai Shao and the letter from the Yingzhou garrison Lu Pingchuan, and was furious. He overturned the Long Case in front of him and cursed: "Dare the Khitan barbarians turn against me to attack my Tang Dynasty? Come on, go to Tianzhu to kill Khitan, Mart, and Goguryeo envoys.
Quickly send the pharmacist, Xuan Ling, Keming, and the auxiliary machine to come.”
Li Jing was on duty at the military headquarters today, so he was the first to come. He was furious when he saw the secret letter, but he was already planning the situation and had plans to break the enemy's rescue.
When the others came to Qi, Du Ruhui worriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Three Kingdoms will not attack our Tang Dynasty for no reason. If Goguryeo was to recover the five cities in Liaodong, then what about the Khitan? What about the Marine?
These two countries are poor and barbarians. In recent years, they have been relying on the Tang Dynasty to eat a lot of oil and water. How could they suddenly lean towards Goguryeo?
So there must be something strange about this."
When Changsun Wuji heard this, he flashed his mind and said, "Is it related to the envoys of the Three Kingdoms in the prison? Now only the envoys of the Three Kingdoms in the heavenly prison have not been redeemed. I wonder if they will not redeem them?
Now this war has given the answer. They are not not going to redeem people, but want to take down Liaodong and capture Lao Cheng and Lao Niu at the same time to exchange prisoners."
What???
The thief is bold!
Li Jing cursed, but Li Er next to him thought to himself, "Come on, go to the Heavenly Prison quickly, stop slaughtering the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, don't do anything."
When everyone heard this, they knew that His Majesty was angry and wanted to kill people before coming. I hope these people will be very lucky, otherwise Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda will be in danger.
Li Er said in a deep voice: "Pharmacist, the current situation may require you to go there yourself. You can do it in Liaodong, but the Right Martial Guard Army and the Liaodong soldiers must be rescued.
Are you sure?"
Li Jing frowned and kept pondering, but did not give an answer for a long time, because the situation in the Tang Dynasty is very complicated and has a turbulent autumn, and the troops are scattered, so he is not ready for a war at all. In addition, it is the cold winter just after the New Year, so the war is too difficult.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is not sure at all. He does not take advantage of the right time, place and people, just like the three. Therefore, I suggest that you do not fight and try to negotiate."
