Wang Bodang asked Li Mi, "Do you have to seize Qi County?"

Li Mi did not comment, smiled slightly, stretched out her fingers to signal to silence. The floating in the water fluttered for a moment, and Li Mi quickly lifted the rod, but the one he caught was a white strip. This white strip was only the size of a finger, and was the most annoying thing for fishermen. They liked to swim on the water layer and were the most greedy.

Li Mi took the white strip down and threw it back into the water with some disappointment, "I thought I had caught a big fish."

Re-loading the bait and throwing the rod again, Li Mi stared at the water, "This Eastern Expedition failed, and the court lost 400,000 troops, which could be said to have lost nearly 30% of its combat power, but Yang Guang, a foolish monarch, still did not know how to stop. According to the information I have obtained, the emperor is already preparing for the second conquest of Liao. Now that all officials are asking for the conquest of Goguryeo, no one dares to speak out for several days."

"But the tyrant lord, even so, is still stubborn. The latest news is that the tyrant lord has ordered the King Yang You of the Deed, Wei Xuan of the Ministry of Justice to guard the Daxing of Xijing, and ordered the King Yang Tong of Yue, and Fan Zigai of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to guard the eastern capital Luoyang. He has already decided on the strategy. The imperial lord arrived in Huaiyuan in early March and crossed the Liao River in early April."

"So you still fight Goguryeo?" Wang Bodang was shocked. In his opinion, he did not take any advantage in the fight Goguryeo and Sui Dynasty this time. Although it was to take back Wu Liluo, Xincheng and other cities and set up a new Liaodong County, the imperial court lost 400,000 troops without any falsehood.

Now that wars are everywhere in the Central Plains, the emperor can't wait to conquer Goguryeo at this time, wouldn't he be full of shit in his head?

"I'll tell you another good news. The emperor has ordered the Minister of Rites Yang Xuangan to serve as the governor of the grain and grass for the Liao Dynasty. He will be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass in Liyang, Hebei. This is a great opportunity. When Yang Guang passed the Liao River, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Liaodong. At that time, Yang Gong raised an army in Liyang and directly cut off the grain and grass of the dog, then rushed north to block Linyu Pass, and bet the dog emperor outside the pass. Then he joined forces with Goguryeo to kill the dog emperor directly outside the pass, and the task was completed."

"But why did the Goguryeo people listen to Mr. Yang?"

Li Mi smiled slightly.

"Because the newly appointed assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Hu Sizheng, is from Yang Gong, he has already secretly contacted Gao Jianwu, the new king of Goguryeo, and is waiting for Yang Guang to go to Liaodong to die."

"How many soldiers are summoned by the Emperor's Liao Conference this time?"

"It's a little less than last time, but it's not much less. It's said that it's going to send millions of troops. The Dog Emperor's plan is to lead 100,000 soldiers to lead 100,000 soldiers to the domestic city, and Luo Yi, Li Jing and Li Yuan and the other three led 100,000 troops to open a passage from the new city to the Yalu River. Luo Cheng took charge and came to the Hu'er. Zhou Fashang was the deputy commander, leading the 100,000 naval troops to cross the sea and reach the mouth of the Yalu River. Go up the river and arrive at the domestic city in the middle and upper reaches of the Yalu River, join the six army, break through the country, and capture Gao Jianwu."

The total strength of 500,000 is indeed much smaller than the last one. Wang Bodang feels that this plan is similar to the last one, and the difference is that the strategic goal last time was Pyongyang, but this time it has been changed to a domestic city.

Pyongyang City was directly razed after being breached by Luo Cheng last time. Now the Goguryeo people are forced to move the capital back to the domestic city of the accompanying capital. The domestic city is in the middle of the Yalu River. It is said that the Sui army's goal this time is indeed much less difficult. After all, the Xincheng is still in the hands of the Sui army. From Xincheng to the domestic city and march along the Xiao Liao River, there is no big mountain city in front of them. There are only some small mountain cities, and the real hard bones are left. Dumaru, as for Wugu, a strong city like Liaodong, you can ignore it this time. You just need to keep an eye on them and not let them come out to support the domestic city.

From Xincheng to China, it is only a few hundred miles away. Even the navy, from Donglai to the mouth of Yalu River, has reduced the distance by almost half.

If there were no other accidents, Wang Bodang felt that this time the Liao Dynasty might have a great chance. After all, the difficulty was much smaller than last time. The last battle of the Goguryeo Sutra was also severely damaged. The king was captured back to the Sui Dynasty, and the capital was destroyed. The loss of military and civilians in one battle was no less than 300,000. This was even worse for Goguryeo, which had a total population of only 500,000.

Li Mi said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now wars are everywhere, and it has become a prairie fire. At this time, Yang Guang did not want to settle his home first, but wanted to fight against foreign countries. This is seeking death."

Wang Bodang suddenly felt that Yang Guang was very pitiful. He had hoped to conquer Liao again, but with Li Mi and Yang Xuangan and others secretly plotting chaos, this second Eastern Expedition would definitely be difficult to succeed.

He also understood why Li Mi was so anxious to kill Luo Cheng, because when an Eastern Expedition was over, Yang Xuangan raised an army in Liyang. At that time, he opened the Liyang warehouse to release grain and could quickly summon countless troops. Whether Yang Xuan felt that he wanted to block Linyu Pass north or seize the eastern capital Luoyang, Henan could not ignore it.

But Luo Cheng was so conspicuous and capable of fighting in the Liao Dynasty. How could Yang Xuangan and the others feel assured that there was such a person behind him? Even if Luo Cheng was chosen by the emperor as the chief supervisor of the navy, he would have to do it if he had a chance.

Luo Cheng could kill seven in Liaodong with the power of a military force, and who would not be afraid of it. But he is now the comfort of Henan, asking for ambassadors and having the privilege of inheriting the rules and giving titles. Yang Xuangan and Li Mi both felt that Luo Cheng was a big threat and wanted to get rid of it quickly, so that he would be the accident at that time.

"It's still too haste. I thought Luo Cheng would join the North Korea as the commander of the imperial guards, but who would have expected that he would be pressed to Henan."

"Teacher, but the imperial edict just issued by the court has given Luo a title to become General Zuo Xiaowei?"

"The Generals and Generals of the Left and Right Guards are just empty titles. The Emperor's 100,000 Xiaoguo Army, the real leader is the twelve Zhechong Zhonglang Generals and Guoyi Zhonglang Generals. Although Luo Cheng was promoted to the third-rank Zuo Xiaogu General, he did not leave Henan for a day, and he was just a general with a title for one day."

Li Mi smiled, "Yu Zhongwen's death was wronged. He was a general and commander, but unfortunately he was killed by Yang Guang. Now the only ones in the court are Luo Yiluo Cheng and his son, and Li Jing and Xue Shixiong. However, these people will follow the battle to conquer Liao. So if they can kill Luo Cheng this time, not only will they not only have the commander of the Liao navy to conquer Liao again, but also when Yang Gong and Li Yang raise their troops, they will no longer worry about their backs."

You know, Li Mi has been planning for Yang Xuangan for many years, and he has been persuading Yang Xuangan to endure it just to wait for a great opportunity. Last time he conquered Liao, Yang Xuangan couldn't help but want to start a military campaign, but Li Mi persuaded him.

Now this opportunity has finally come. As long as Yang Guang once again leads his troops to Goguryeo, he can raise his flag and raise his troops.
