Chapter 213 Princess Silla(1/2)

The sudden military situation made the generals put away the smiles on their faces. No one expected that at this time, there would be troops heading north.

"Whose man's banner? Is it the banner of Yizhi Wende, Gao Jianwu or Yuan Jingshui? How many soldiers are there?"

Chen Kefu asked with a solemn face. According to previous information analysis, the Liao people would not go north at least a month later. At this time, a sudden army and horses crossed the Xiao Liao River, which made everyone nervous.

The Little Liaohe River is already very close to Liaodong City, only half a day away from the new city, and even if it is reached Liaodong City, it is only a day and a half away.

After returning to Liaodong City that day, Chen Kefu had already spread out the two thousand light cavalry from the reconnaissance camp after completing the establishment of the Liaodong Camp. After the Battle of Jinshan, Chen Kefu's troops had basically occupied the west of the Daliang River. To the west of the Liao River were the soldiers of the Liao counties in the western part of the Great Sui Dynasty, and to the east of the Liao River to the Xiaoliao River and the west bank of the Daliang River, they were already occupied by Chen Kefu.

Although his troops have now been retracted back to Liaodong City and Xincheng, the cavalry reconnaissance troops have been forward to the west bank of Daliang River. After the Goguryeo people were defeated one after another, their strength was mainly gathered in Wugu City and the domestic city on the Yalu River line, which is more than a thousand miles away from Liaodong City.

The Goguryeo army closest to Liaodong City is the only one left in the lower reaches of the Liaohe River, Beisha Mountain City and Jian'an Mountain City. These two mountain cities are near the estuary of the Liaodong Peninsula, hundreds of miles away from Liaodong City.

Such a soldier was discovered only after passing the Xiaoliao River. You can imagine the surprise of Chen Kefu and others.

Now there are 130,000 troops in Liaodong camp, but it has only been seven or eight days since the reorganization and training. Even the most basic running-in has not been completed, let alone the challenge.

Seeing the expressions of the five bigwigs, Zhang Meng hurriedly explained, "The number of soldiers is not large, only a thousand people. They are all wearing Goguryeo armor, but they do not use a banner. They look like a noble private army in the south of Goguryeo. Moreover, the soldiers and horses are all cavalry, hiding out at night, and their whereabouts are strange. Otherwise, our reconnaissance camp would not have discovered it until now. Judging from their appearance, it seems that the target is Liaodong City, and they will be able to reach Liaodong City in one day."

All the generals were stunned for a moment. When they heard that the Liao soldiers were heading north, they subconsciously thought that the Liao troops had headed north. Now after saying this, they realized that it was only a small army that headed north.

One thousand cavalry, judging from the current situation between Chen Kefu and Goguryeo, is indeed just a small army.

"Master, it is very likely that the Liao people's reconnaissance troops were coming to inquire about the situation in Liaodong. It may even be that they went north to Fuyu Road and contacted the Goguryeo people," Mao Xi stroked his beard and said.

As long as the large army is not going north now, everyone is not so worried. The Liaodong camp has sent a small peace talks team to Pyongyang, and I believe it will take some time.

Shen Guang, with a big beard, is now the marching Sima of the Right Chamber Army. He said it was high or low, and his position was a bit awkward. He wished he had the opportunity to make one or two military achievements so that he could raise it up and said, "Master, whether he is here to reconnaise or want to contact Fuyu Road. It's just a thousand people. Please allow me to take a battalion of troops to annihilate them."

Yu Qinming shook his head, "Master, what we are now focused on is the delaying strategy against the Liao people. In just one month, we can make the combat power of the seventh army's troops to a higher level. And in one month, our equipment will be more sufficient, even the sky-shaking thunder that the commander just made can be produced. And in one month, ten thousand cavalry from the Khitan and the Martial tribes can also go south to Liaodong City. All, these thousand Goguryeo are not very important. I think it is better to send troops to surround them and capture them all, and then exchange conditions with the people of the Yuan clan as a peace talks with the prisoners."

Chen Kefu thought that this was true. Even if a thousand Liao people were completely wiped out, they would not have much effect on the situation in front of them. It might even trigger tensions in Liaodong in advance.

"Tell me the order to let the camp reconnaissance battalion, the two light cavalry battalions of General Luo Lin of the Central Army and General Li Chengyi of General Li to take down the more than a thousand cavalry." Six thousand cavalry battled against one thousand Goguryeo cavalry, and it was within its own sphere of influence. Chen Kefu seemed to be enough.

The moon hangs in the sky. In the rugged mountain road, a cavalry of more than a thousand people was not open, and the cavalry wrapped in cloth were marching quietly. The more than a thousand people were dressed in Goguryeo soldiers, but when they looked carefully, they found that the soldiers of the entire army were very young. They were basically around twenty years old, and many people even looked very young, at most fifteen or sixteen. And unlike the private slave soldiers of the Goguryeo nobles, the soldiers were neat and orderly when they marched.

Although the entire army marched at night, they did not set up torches, did not use flags, and held a group of people and wrapped their hooves. Along the way, they maintained a complete marching array, and the team did not deform at all.

The squadron of more than a thousand people could see at a glance that the commander of this army was. But what was even more surprising was that the middle of the army was, the lower the age of the soldiers. They were basically young men, and they were very handsome and heroic. Dozens of young men rode tall horses, supporting a general. Like those young men, the surrounded general was also an overly young general.

What's even more strange is that this young man is only fifteen or sixteen years old, his skin is white and delicate, and his body is slightly thin. He is wearing a black ordinary armor, a black tassel helmet on his head, slender eyebrows, and a straight nose bridge. At first glance, he is indescribable and handsome. However, at this moment, the young man frowned slightly, and his eyes were slightly tired. Under the moonlight, there was a faint worry in his eyes looking forward.

The front army rushed to the sky, and it seemed particularly clear in the night forest. The cavalry rode straight to the middle formation before stopping, turned over and dismounting, and said in a deep voice, "Report to Your Highness, you will arrive in the new city in another hour. My subordinates have just inquired about it. It is indeed the banner of the Great Sui Kingdom. The flag at the top of the mountain city is thick, brightly lit, and there are many soldiers and horses."

"Thank you for your hard work, go and rest." When the young man called His Highness opened his mouth, he spoke like a bird, gentle and gentle, indescribable, and even more like a woman's voice.

After the knight who reported the news stepped down, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years next to the young master said, "Your Highness, it seems that the news we got from the Goguryeo on the way is correct. The war between Goguryeo and Sui State was defeated, and the new city had fallen into the hands of the Sui people. In this way, Liaodong City must have fallen into the hands of the Sui people. It seems that we have not come in vain this time."

The young man called His Highness said with a worrying look, "But there were also people who caught Goguryeo on the road saying that the emperor of Sui State had already brought his army back to the Central Plains, and this was just a Sui State general who was staying behind. If the Emperor of Sui State returned to the Central Plains, then we worked hard for a month and came here from Silla, it might be meaningless."

Another young man said, "Your Highness Princess, we have been here after a lot of hardships. How can we give up until the last moment? Even if the Emperor of Sui really returns to the Central Plains by then, since there is still a large army in Liaodong, we can also find the left-behind general to cooperate."

This young man, known as His Royal Highness, is Jin Shengman, the second princess of Silla in the south of Goguryeo. More than a month ago, several major noble lords in the south of Goguryeo joined forces with the Baekje Alliance to launch an attack on Silla in the purpose of robbing the fertile plain of the Han River Plain.

The country of Silla has become weaker in recent years and cannot cope with the joint attacks of the two countries. It has to seek a solution outside the battlefield. In the end, Silla decided to send the eldest princess Princess Deman to negotiate with Baekje. The second princess Jin Shengman was sent north to Liaodong. Jin met with the Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and sought cooperation with the Great Sui Dynasty, which was fighting against Goguryeo, and to deal with Goguryeo together to break the siege of Silla.

Jin Shengman took her six Hualangs and more than a thousand troops to set out from Silla in southern Goguryeo. In order to avoid the interception of Goguryeo, they all changed into armor banners of private soldiers of the southern Goguryeo. They hid in the valley during the day and marched at night. Fortunately, there were many mountains in Goguryeo, and secondly, the soldiers and horses of the Goguryeo Kingdom and the nobles had been transferred to the Liaodong front line. The rest also retreated into various mountain cities to defend.

Be careful along the way. After more than a month, Princess Jin Shengman finally arrived in Liaodong with her more than a thousand men. Unfortunately, the closer they were to Liaodong City, the more information they received from the Goguryeo people they captured on the way, the more chaotic they became.

Some say that the Sui army was defeated and the Sui army emperor had fled back to the Central Plains. Some say that the Sui army won a great victory and had occupied the new city and the Liaodong city. Some say that the Sui emperor brought the army back to Liaodong. At present, there are only a small number of Sui army left in Liaodong city. All kinds of information are available, which makes these Silla people who come with hope suddenly feel a little worried.

Liaodong is full of mountains, with large and small mountains, one mountain next to another.

However, although most of the big mountain cities in Liaodong are built in the mountains, they are all built on relatively open mountain passes and open areas. This is the case with the Xincheng Mountain City. The entire Xincheng is just at the intersection of several mountain ranges. It is just one man who is at the pass and ten thousand men cannot open.

In the bright moonlight, on a small hill twenty miles outside the new city, there were 6,000 cavalry of the Sui army. Because they were fighting for the purpose of captives, Chen Kefu brought his men to the new city and chose this hillside next to a mountain road twenty miles away from the new city. Whether the cavalry in this city was going north or heading straight to Liaodong City, they had to pass through this place.

As long as these more than a thousand soldiers enter the ambush circle, the Sui army will have a banner, and with this dangerous terrain, the Liao people will either choose to die in battle or surrender. Moreover, even if the Liao people are willing to fight to the death, Chen Kefu will not give him this opportunity. If he just surrounds him, the troops will still fall into the hands of the Sui army in a few days.

"Master, here we are here, it's only a few miles away."

After waiting for a while, a soldier dressed in Liao people came over. The commander of the soldier was cautious. There was a team of cavalry with only a thousand people who had even gone out to explore the way for several miles. However, the Sui army had fought so many ambush battles and had already become a professional ambush battle household. More than 6,000 elite cavalry were all ambushing on the hillside, without making any noise.

The cavalry who had come out to inquire and reconnaissanced all the way, and did not find the ambush of the Sui army at all.

After a while the reconnaissance cavalry, more than a thousand cavalry had already arrived. There was no flag, no torches, only the sound of stomping on horseback. If the Sui army had not reconnaissed this army before, it would have been difficult to find such a small cavalry unit in a short while.

After the more than a thousand cavalry finally entered the ambush circle, Chen Kefu made an ambush gesture to the messenger beside him.

Eight messengers lined up in a row, one held a bow, four of them hit the whistle, and four of them hit the rocket.

They all lifted their bows into the sky, and only a slight sound of strings was heard, and eight arrows shot into the sky.

The four whistles made extremely loud sounds, which seemed particularly harsh in the quiet valley of this night. The other four rockets, after they were shot into the sky, were also extremely conspicuous in the night.

Mingdi, rocket, in an instant, all the six thousand ambush soldiers who were ambushing on the hillsides on all sides were ordered.

A tremendous shout sounded, people yelled and horses neighed, and torches lit up in the hands of the knights, igniting a winding fire dragon, illuminating the entire mountain road extremely brightly.

The sudden change caused more than a thousand cavalry and Silla cavalry marching on the mountain road to panic. The young Hualang all pulled out their swords at their waists. Under the command of the six Hualangs, the disciples of the six Hualangs quickly stopped moving forward and quickly gathered. The entire thousand people quickly formed a circular defensive formation. All of them jumped off the war horses. The outermost were shield players, followed by two rows of spearmen. Then the archers in the formation, guarding Jin Shengman and the six Hualangs tightly inside.

Next to the innermost princess Jin Shengman is the head coach of Silla Hualang, Hua Feiyunlang, and the highest commander of the Fengyue Lord Chihulang, except the princess of Silla Hualang. In addition to them are the six Hualangs of the top ten flower doctors led by Jin Shengman, Hualang Yu Chuanlang Yu Chuanlang, Hualang Zhenxinlang, Hualang Li Zhonglang, Hualang Lixian, Hualang Dachuanlang, Hualang Yu Xinlang, and Hualang Baolinlang.

Yuanhua Feiyunlang and Fengyuezhu Chihulang are both around forty years old and are the older generation of Hualang. However, the six Hualangs are all teenagers of 16,788. Although these people are young, they are all from Silla's largest aristocratic origins. The six Hualangs and the four Hualangs led by Princess Jindeman are the ten most powerful Hualangs among all Hualangs in Silla.

The men who were commanded by them were like the samurai under the Japanese nobles. They were all loyal to Hualang, and they were all men who had been selected as Hualang since childhood. Once selected, they would not be changed.

Each Hualang and their Langtu received a complete set of training since childhood, including piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, swordsmanship, military command, and learning everything. The Hualang tribe represented by each Hualang and their Langtu can only obtain the Hualang flag after a battle and competition. The winner can only obtain the Hualang flag after the ten Hualangs in the capital. The ten Hualangs in Xu Luofa in the capital are the titles that the ten most powerful Hualangs among the entire Shirao Hualang can obtain.

Moreover, the top ten Hualangs must accept the challenges of other Hualangs at any time. Only by winning can this title be maintained. Once you lose, you will no longer be the top ten Hualangs. The entire Hualang organization was founded by the most powerful Zhenxing King in the history of the Silla Dynasty.

The entire Hualang organization is actually a young military organization, which is similar to the young military academy. It has an organization and a coach, and started training since childhood. The Hualang trained in this way is the most powerful combat force in Silla. The more than a thousand disciples led by the six major Hualangs are actually stronger than the six thousand cavalry units under Chen Kefu, which are mixed with a large number of new recruits. However, if they are strong, their number is only one thousand. If they really fight, they will definitely not be able to win.

In addition to Chen Kefu, there were also several generals such as Li Benlei, Yu Qinming, Luo Lin, Li Chengyi, Zhang Yong, Zhang Jin, Lu Shishen, Shen Guang. The so-called Xinge family will know if there is any one as soon as they take action.

The quick reactions that the Goguryeo people showed when they were in trouble made Chen Kefu and others suddenly lit up. This army was definitely not simple. With such a rapid reaction, in the Liaodong camp, only the cavalry unit formed by veterans of the Pojun camp, which was purely formed by veterans of the Pojun camp, can be slightly stronger than them.

"Master General, this army is not simple, it is definitely not as simple as the Goguryeo reconnaissance force." Yu Qinming, as a veteran on the battlefield, said to the point.

Chen Kefu nodded. If the Goguryeo soldiers were of this quality, then Chen Kefu had been driven back to the Central Plains long ago, so he could have stayed in Liaodong and become more and more elegant. There were only a thousand people, but the soldiers were so elite, and they came straight to Liaodong City. They were still hiding out at night and secretly. How could they think that there was something wrong with this army?

"Who is here to report the title? I am an unknown person under the sword!" Chen Kefu rode on the Qingzhi and rode his horse to the two armies. He now wanted to know who the general who commanded such an elite soldier was.

Chen Kefu was wearing a bright silver kirin bright light armor, and stepped on the tall and powerful horse green horse in the Western Regions, carrying a bright silver horse spear. Under the torch, the sound was like a bell.

Although the Silla soldiers surrounded were a little nervous, they were not afraid at all, and they were all defensive. At this time, they saw a general who came out of the soldiers surrounding them shouting there, but everyone was filled with joy after hearing this.

Although Silla is a small country on the Sanhan Peninsula, it admires Chinese culture very much. From kings and princesses to nobles of all sizes, they basically learn the etiquette of Central Plains. Moreover, the characters used in the entire Silla country are Chinese characters, but they are marked with the sound of Silla. However, most of the upper nobles also learn Chinese. At this time, Princess Jindeman, the six major Hualangs, Yuanhua and Fengyuezhu all heard that the words said by the general were Central Plains.

And the words were spoken very clearly and smoothly, which means that these soldiers and horses were likely to be the Sui army in the new city.

Princess Jindeman nodded to the people beside her, then stopped Yuanhua Feiyunlang who wanted to go to the formation, rode his horse to come to the formation in person, and asked loudly to Chen Kefu, who was more than a hundred steps away, "Do you dare to ask if this commander is a general of the Sui State? You don't know the name of the commander."

When Zhang Jin, behind Chen Kefu heard someone ask about his name, he immediately walked forward proudly and sang, "My grandmaster is named Duke of Liao, and his official position is appointed as the king of the country, Zuo Guanglu Dafu, Zuo Tun Guard General. The marshal of the Liaodong Marshal's Office, has 100 generals and 200,000 elite soldiers! He occupied the west of Yalu River and took over the city of Liaodong! He defeated 10,000 ten thousand and captured the new city. One thousand defeated Yizhi Wende 80,000, and captured the first fortress in the northeast with 10,000 troops.

The city. He defeated Gao Yuzhen and Gao Yannian, and captured dozens of floors of Baiyan, Anshi, etc. In the battle of Jinshan Canyon, he defeated Yuan Taizuo's 80,000 troops and captured the entire Fuyu Road. My general did not change his name or his surname. His Majesty personally gave the name Pojun and Chen Pojun and General Chen!" This line has been said many times. Whenever someone asked Chen Kefu's name, Zhang Jin must jump out. Come here, if someone dares to compete with him for this position, he will definitely turn against him.

Chen Kefu had no choice but to deal with Zhang Jin. If he added a sentence later, I would open this road and I would intercept this tree. If you want to pass this road and leave money to buy the road, it would be more like a mountain king blocking the road.

Jin Shengman was wearing Liao armor, and after riding on horseback, he was also shocked after listening to such a long list of names. Although Jin Shengman was young, he was also very yearning for the cultural etiquette of the Central Plains. Since childhood, there were specialists in the palace to teach her how to learn the cultural etiquette of the Central Plains, so not only could they understand the Central Plains language, but they could speak, but they were also very familiar with some official systems in the Central Plains.

She never expected that the Sui general, who was nowhere near as big as her, would have such a big background. Not only was the Duke of the State, but also a marshal. What is even more unbelievable is the long list of amazing achievements behind.

Jin Shengman looked up and looked at the young marshal from a distance. He was tall and gorgeous armored to make the whole person even more majestic. Moreover, under the bright moonlight and bright torches, the Sui general could clearly see the red lips, white teeth, sword eyebrows and starry eyes. He had both the mighty and the elegance of a Confucian scholar. After seeing her young and beautiful young man Hualang beside her, she suddenly felt that she was confused by the young marshal.

After coming to her senses, a few red clouds suddenly flew on her face. She secretly spat at herself in her heart, and was glad that no one saw it at night.

"I have never thought that Princess Jin Shengman of the Silla Kingdom was so lucky that I could actually see the Grand Marshal here. I am not very honored to greet the Grand Marshal. I have met the Grand Marshal." After immediately bowing to Chen Kefu, Jin Shengman introduced himself.

This time she went north, she was originally looking for cooperation with the Sui army. It was basically straightforward, just to find support from the Sui army. It seems that the Emperor of Sui State is likely to have returned to the Central Plains. Then the young Duke of the State, who is already a very important minister, and the young marshal who has 200,000 troops, is their last hope.

As soon as Jin Shengman's name was reported, the Sui army was also stunned for a moment. No one expected that this strange soldier was actually from Silla. Moreover, the one who led the troops was actually a young princess. Although she was wearing men's clothing, the crisp and pleasant voice suddenly made everyone believe that this was a woman.

However, although everyone has heard of the name of Silla, unfortunately, in the eyes of the Sui people, Silla is just a remote small country with a distance of 100,800 miles apart from Goguryeo. Don’t say that everyone doesn’t know if there is a princess named Jin Shengman in Silla, and no one can even say that the king of Silla is today.

Li Benlei, Yu Qinming and other generals looked at each other one by one. Look at me, and I look at you, and they were both caught off guard by the sudden situation. When things were in a big way, they would definitely not be able to continue to follow the original plan.

Chen Kefu thought for a moment, rode his horse forward dozens of steps, and stopped fifty steps away from Jin Shengman. After carefully looking at her, he found that this was indeed a woman and said, "I don't know why His Royal Highness the Princess suddenly appeared here. Silla is not less than two thousand miles away?"

"On behalf of the Silla Kingdom and my father, King Zhenping, I came to Liaodong Jin to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Sui Kingdom!"

"Oh? That's really bad. My Emperor of Sui has returned to the Central Plains Capital a month ago. Now I am left in Liaodong, and the princess is one step late. However, if His Highness wants to go to the Central Plains to meet His Majesty, I can arrange troops to escort you to the Central Plains." Before I could not understand the true intentions of these Silla people, Chen Kefu had to take a step first.

As soon as he heard that the Emperor of Sui had really returned to the Central Plains, Jin Shengman showed disappointment on his face. After a while, he smiled and said, "It seems that we are really a step late. It's a pity. My Silla Kingdom heard that the Great Sui Dynasty started a war with the Goguryeo people in Liaodong, and the whole country was unanimously willing to send troops to assist the Shangguo and fight against Goguryeo together. But he didn't think that he would be a step late all the way."

Chen Kefu waved his hand back, called Ye Cheng from the Special Service Department, and asked softly, "Do you Special Service Department know about the situation between Silla and Goguryeo recently?"

Ye Cheng thought about it carefully and whispered in Chen Kefu's ear, "According to the information collected by the brothers in the Secretariat, a month ago, the six tribe lords in the south of Goguryeo combined 30,000 troops and joined forces with 50,000 troops from Baekje to jointly send troops to Silla. At the beginning of the war, even the battle won consecutively, but after more than half a month of fighting, it seemed that we had entered the confrontation stage. Our latest information was only half a month ago. As for the current information, we do not have the latest situation in our hands."

"After you go back, send people to find out the battle between Silla and Goguryeo. I need to know the details in the shortest time."

With the information about Silla from the Special Service Department, Chen Kefu had a general understanding of the appearance of Princess Jin Shengman in front of him. She said that she came to Jin to meet Emperor Yang Guang, and said it was so nice that she wanted to send troops to help the Sui Dynasty jointly attack Goguryeo.

But there is a saying that goes, "No profit, no matter how good it is, there is no benefit, why should Silla send troops to help the Great Sui attack Goguryeo? Referring to the information of the Special Service Department, you can clearly clarify the whole story. Goguryeo fought with the Sui army in the north, and the nobles in the south were free to deal with the navy of the navy, so they raised their troops and joined forces to fight Silla. It seemed that they wanted to find the Silla people to make up for the losses in the war with the Sui army.

The Silla family couldn't even win, and now the two companies joined forces to beat him. The Silla people who couldn't stand it were so smart that they wanted to come to the Sui army to cooperate with Goguryeo.

Chen Kefu, who figured it out, was in a good mood. Youdao is the enemy's enemy and his friend.

He is now attracting sponsorships everywhere and looking for allies to deal with Goguryeo. At this time, he fell into such a Silla princess. This is a potential ally and he cannot neglect it anyway.

"Your Highness the Princess is a guest from afar. Although Your Majesty has been on duty, I am still here, so I cannot neglect Your Highness the Princess. Your Highness, you see, this is not a place to talk. Why not go back to Xincheng with me now and then go back to Liaodong tomorrow. For Goguryeo, that is our common enemy, and we can talk about how to attack the Goguryeo people together."
To be continued...
