Chapter 551 Li Jing Can't Stop At All

Thank you for your dream life, Zuixiao, pp1976's support, thank you!

With Yi Feng's full support, the "Bird Thieves" Li Keshi has initially established a Feixin Network, setting up a first-level pigeon station with the Five Capitals as the center, and then spread the network with these five pigeon stations as the main trunk. ←, important military intelligence, local disasters, bandit information and other important news will be transmitted to the prefecture city as soon as possible, and then sent back to the nearby capital, and finally forwarded to the capital court. Similarly, when the court has some important orders to be conveyed to the local area, it will also be issued through this swift Feixin Network.

However, even the most revolutionary Feixin.com will take a lot of time from Chang'an in Guanzhong to Liaodong City on the east bank of the Liaohe River. The news must be sent to Luoyang first through the pigeon station in Xijing, then forwarded from Luoyang from Youzhou, and then sent to Yuguan from Youzhou. After arriving at Yuguan, the Feixin.com has reached its limit. Liaoxi and Liaodong outside the pass have to rely on traditional manpower. Yuguan sends the best messenger to Liaoxi. In western Liaoning, there are some small soldier stations left by Li Jing's troops along the way, which can be replaced. However, after arriving at Songshan Camp, four hundred miles east, there are no such supply stations along the way. There are even castles and villages around Goguryeo, so you have to be careful of being ambushed at all times.

From Xijing to Liaodong City, there are 3,500 miles apart. Even if a flying pigeon flies 2,700 miles in the pass, the last 800 miles has to be run by horses.

Yi Feng issued the latest order to Li Jing, but the decree was still delayed by three days. In addition, the news from Liaodong City had returned to Daxing before, which also took three days, which made Li Jing's situation when he received Yi Feng's latest imperial edict again.

Six days can change a lot.

Six days ago, Li Jing took a long-distance attack, using his suddenness to seize Liaodong City, and captured the Goguryeo East Gate without bloodshed. Then, Li Jing was not satisfied. He was born with an adventurous nature in his bones. He liked to use strange and dangerous people the most, which was very different from his usual character of dealing with people and things. In normal times, Li Jing was a very steady and cautious person. But once he led his troops to fight, he would immediately become a person, a gambler, a gambler with high skills and courage. He had never lost a bet yet, which made him more and more fascinated by this method. After taking Liaodong City, Li Jing refused to rest assured, and he immediately set his sights on the next target.

Li Jing's new goal was the new city north of Liaodong City. The new city was actually Xuantu County established in the Han Dynasty, and its capital was in Fushun today. The new city was built in the Western Jin Dynasty. Goguryeo was built on the Gaoer Mountain in Fushun, so it was named Xincheng. Since its establishment, this city has always been an important military town in Goguryeo in the middle of the east bank of the Liao River, and it was guarding each other with Liaodong City. In 339 AD, Murong Feng attacked the Goguryeo soldiers. When he arrived at Xincheng, he once said that Xincheng. The town of Goryeo in the west was the most important. If we did not plan first, Yucheng might not be able to go down. In fact, the same is true. In the later battle of the Tang Dynasty to destroy Goguryeo, the new city was broken and the north bank of the Yalu River was flat. Liaodong City guarded the Liao River, and the new city guarded the Xiaoliao River, which was later the transportation route on the north bank of the Hunhe River, and the geographical location was very important.

This city is built on the Gaoer Mountain, with the highest point of the hillside about 50 meters above sea level. The entire mountain city consists of three ring-shaped cities, Dongcheng, Xicheng, Nancheng, Beicheng and the southeast corner, forming an organic consortium, forming a three-dimensional defense system. The city wall is eight miles long, two miles long from east to west, and nearly two miles wide from north to south. It has three gates, the mountain city has a dangerous terrain and is located at a high height.

After successfully taking the Liaodong City, Li Jing was no longer in a dangerous situation where he went alone, but became a sharp sword that penetrated into the enemy's chest. Li Jing was also a little surprised that he could take the Liaodong City so quickly. Everything went too smoothly, far beyond expectations. While he was happy, Li Jing couldn't sit still. After listening carefully to the surrounding information provided by the Military Information Department, Li Jing planned to do another vote.

In the original city lord's mansion in Liaodong City, Li Jing summoned the generals in the army.

He was wearing armor and said straight to the point, "It will be a great achievement to win the Liaodong City, but it is not yet time to relax and be happy. We see that we have an extremely rare and even once-in-a-lifetime opportunity now. Gao Yuan, the King of Goguryeo, led 80,000 troops to cross the Liaohe River to capture the western part of Liao. They never expected that we would come so quickly this time, and they would never have thought that we would have won the victory of Bailang City in such a short time, and then so boldly copied his nest and stabbed him in the ass. Now Gao Yuan is still in Liucheng, Yingzhou, 600 minutes away. We have to do something, and we can't take the Liaodong City, and then sit here and wait. The east bank of the Liaohe River is very empty now, and the main force has followed Gao Yuan to go to western part of Liaoxi. Therefore, we can easily win the Liaodong City, and the other cities in Liaodong are the same, so we can do another vote."

Li Jing smashed his fist on the table, and his expression became excited. He pointed to the new city north of Liaodong City on the map.

"New City, the western part of Goguryeo, is the most important. It has always been the two most important cities in the middle of the east bank of the Liaohe River. Now we have taken the Liaodong City. If we can take the new city again, then the entire central area on the east bank of the Liaohe River will be ours. The Goguryeo people will never have a chance to gain a foothold. This is originally Xuantu County of the Han Dynasty, and the guards are also empty at this time, and it is only three hundred miles away from Liaodong City. If we send troops to attack Liaodong City immediately, maybe the new city has not yet known that we have taken Liaodong City."

Li Jing was also wearing armor. He looked at Li Jing's finger pointing to Xincheng on the map and frowned slightly.

"Three hundred miles, this distance is not short, and we cannot be sure whether Xincheng already knows that we have seized Liaodong City and are in danger. After all, it is a risk, so we must not be able to take any more. I think we have taken Liaodong City now, so we can sit firmly in the city and wait for the arrival of the imperial army. We don't have to take such risks again."

Another general Luo Yi didn't say anything. He originally opposed radical adventure like Li Jing. But the success of this Liaodong attack greatly changed his attitude. If both sides really mobilized their troops and then had a serious offensive and defensive battle, then there would be more than 50,000 people to defend Liaodong City, and the siege would have at least more than 200,000 people. In this 1-to-4 comparison of troops, the defenders would make no mistakes and would be able to defend for a year.

It can be said that if you want to take the city seriously, you have to take your lives, especially in this battle between the two countries. The defending the city is fighting on the local level, which will occupy the advantage of people and territory, and even have time. However, their surprise attack easily captured the city. Liaodong is now empty, so you can try again. If you can also take down the new city, then you will have these two important towns and rely on each other for support. Even if the Goguryeo people fight across the country, it will be difficult for them to retake it.

"I agree with the marshal's plan. Gao Yuan is still in western Liaoning. Now the new city is empty, so we can try again. Even if the new city finds us, we will not lose much. For the time being, the people of Goguryeo are not able to organize a battle against Liaodong City. Besides, we now have 30,000 people, and we can send people to transfer the troops from Songshan Camp to come immediately." Songshan Camp was originally preparing to block Gao Yuan's retreat, and in addition, it was also to be able to meet them if it was unfavorable to attack Liaodong City. But now that Liaodong City has been taken, there is food and equipment here, there is no problem for Songshan Camp to transfer 30,000 troops into Liaodong City.

"I still feel that I can't take risks too much. As long as I seek stability, I can't give up the good situation in front of me." Li Jing insisted.

"The current good situation is not just a risk. And it is not a risk. It is a correct decision based on the situation." Luo Yi argued with him.

Li Jing did not expect Luo Yi to stand firmly on his side. He thought for a moment and said, "I think so, someone personally led 10,000 light cavalry to the new city, Li Jing and Luo Yi, you two led 20,000 people to stay in Liaodong City. In addition, 10,000 people were transferred from Songshan Camp to Liaodong City to strengthen the guards. How about it?"

The other generals of the division also agreed with Li Jing. Since Li Jing took everyone out of the customs, he first won the White Wolf City and then won the Liaodong City. This was a huge military achievement that was not fought for. The main general could lead everyone to make contributions, so everyone naturally believed him. He made the decision and then carefully discussed the specific deployment and combat plan. The next day, Li Jing personally led 10,000 light cavalry and only carried seven days of dry food, and then left the city to go north.

Three hundred miles away, not far or near, for the husbands carrying double horses, it is even just a day and a night.

Li Jing led his troops to move rapidly until the south bank of the Xiaoliao River, and he ordered the cessation of advancement. He placed the army in a valley to hide.

"The army seized time to rest, and the reconnaissance team immediately went out to inquire about the news. I must know all the movements of the hundreds of miles near the new city." Li Jing ordered. As he walked along the way, Li Jing did not advance along the Xiaoliao River from west to east, but went directly to the east, bypassing all the large and small cities, and tried to avoid surprise and attack them unprepared.

The army rested for a long time, and the scouts came back one by one to report.

They came quickly. They didn't know that they had crossed the Liaohe River and seized the Liaodong city, and they didn't know that they had already crossed the Liaohe River and seized the Liaodong city. New city, Xuantu City was not prepared at all, the city gates were wide open, and the people were in and out, and there were still many people farming and grazing in the fields. When entering the Xincheng, the news of the defeat of the King of Goguryeo, Bailang City, had reached the Xincheng, but only a few officials and families knew that ordinary vendors were not very clear about the war. The Xincheng did not reach the Liaohe River directly like the Liaodong city. He and

The Liao River is still separated by Xuyuan. The new city is built on the north bank of the Xiaoliao River. The Xiaoliao River connects with the Liao River. Between the Liao River and the Xincheng, there are Houhuang City, Hengshan City, Momi City, Maigu City, Xuantu City and other cities. It can be said that the calmness of the new city is precisely because there is no warning message back to Houhuang Zhucheng. They could never have imagined that when the king just seized the Han people's western Liao people and the army was on the west bank of the Liao River, the Han people had already defeated the most important Liaodong City on the east bank of the Liao River, and went directly from behind to the nearness of the Xincheng.

After listening to the reports of each scout, Li Jing carefully asked about a few details, and then nodded with satisfaction.
