Cangzhou, Hebei.

The Yongji Canal of the Grand Canal, also known as the Yuhe River.

The autumn wind is bleak, by the white bridge.

Li Shimin and the prince parted here, and were about to go east and west. The emperor would go north along the canal to Youzhou first and then into Liaodong. The prince would go west in a separate way to Dingzhou to supervise the state and governor food and salary.

"Okay, let's separate here."

Li Shimin patted the prince Chengqian's shoulder, "Xiao Yu, Li Jing stayed in Chang'an, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng was in charge of Luoyang, I will leave Ma Zhou and Li Daliang to you to Dingzhou. Calculate the time, Qin Lang should be here. Wuji, I will take him to the army with me. If you have any questions, ask Qin Lang and Ma Zhou. If you have any questions, I will give it to Li Ji."

The emperor patiently explained.

"My son wishes the saints a victory as soon as possible and win the championship!"

The emperor got on the horse and stopped before leaving.

"Dalang, take off your robe and I."

Cheng Qian was stunned for a moment and looked at the robe on his body. It was just an ordinary brown robe. It was neither gorgeous nor thick, but an autumn style.

"Father, the brown robe on the son's body is a bit dirty, so I immediately go and get a cloak to the saint."

Li Shimin called the prince, "No need, this autumn robe is very good." The emperor put the brown autumn robe on the prince's body directly on his body, and said to the prince in public, "I will never change this robe until I see you next time!"

This was a bit unexpected. The uncle who was accompanying him, the Secretary of the Central Committee, Changsun Wuji, was quick-witted and immediately guessed the emperor's words. He smiled and praised, "The saint's intention is that he can be triumphant without waiting for the winter jacket to change!"

The brown robe is light and the winter of Liaodong will definitely not pass the winter. The emperor said he would not see the prince again and would not change the robe. It was obvious that the emperor would return to Dingzhou before he needed to change the thicker robe. He must have returned victoriously by then.

Of course, this actually has another meaning.

That is, this time of conquest of Liao, the emperor had already set the battle time in advance, and would have to cease the battle at the latest before the cold winter came.

When the generals heard this, they praised the saint's mighty power.

"Report!"

Xu Luoren arrived from Dengzhou.

"Where is Qin Lang?" The emperor was surprised to see that only Xu Luoren came back.

Xu Luoren had no choice but to explain the incident of meeting Niu Jinda in Dengzhou and intercepting Hu.

After hearing that Qin Lang received the order, he recruited 80,000 troops from Lingnan to head north. After being robbed by Lao Niu in Dengzhou to southern Liaoning, Li Shimin was stunned and then laughed.

"This Qin Lang, I want to use him as the commander of the Liao Dynasty, but he never agreed. Unexpectedly, Niu Jinda is now robbed to join the army, hahaha. It's fine!"

The emperor laughed and rode northward.

On the way, the emperor dictated and wrote a draft of the imperial edict in Goguryeo.

Goryeo was very ruthless against Lugai Suwen, and was cruel to his ministers, and secretly occupied the borders and robbed them. I have no choice but tolerated the feelings of the king and his ministers. If I do not punish the filthy and filthy, I will not be able to conquer China. Now I want to visit Youji and ask for guilty Liao Jie. I will be fine and keep thrifty. The camps that pass by will not be fed. The food is only hungry and there is no need to be precious food. If the water can be used, there will be no fake bridges; if the roads can be passed, there will be no repairs. The imperial camp is not a nearby county, and the elderly will not be bothered to welcome them.

The emperor asked that during the Liao Dynasty, the marching and daily life should be simple, and that the food and food should be filled with hunger and no royal food should be prepared. No bridge should be built whenever a river can wading through. The roads that the army can pass will not be repaired. Local officials along the way will not need to be welcomed.

Anyway, we need to marching at the same time, reduce unnecessary expenses and avoid excessive consumption of the people.

Originally, Li Shimin was going to Youzhou first. At this time, he heard that Niu Jinda had robbed Qin Lang and abducted Qin Lang to bring 80,000 people from the north to cross the sea to Liao, and immediately made a re-provision.

"Niu Jinda already has tens of thousands of soldiers, but now he has 80,000 in the southeast, and add Qin Lang, the god of killing, to cross the sea. I dare to say that Niu Jinda must be holding back and is going to use his ultimate move."

The uncle Changsun Wuji also agreed with this statement. Qin Lang had been unwilling to take charge of the Eastern Expedition before. This time, Lao Niu took him to Liaodong and had more than 100,000 troops in his hand. This was definitely going to cause trouble. Regardless of whether it was Qin Lang's original intention or not, judging from Qin Lang's previous record, he would have not taken action, and it would be absolutely amazing to take action.

Yuchi Gong, who was with the army, believed that after Qin Lang crossed the sea, he would probably immediately attack Jian'an and Anshicheng to support the main force's strategy of attacking Liaodongcheng.

Li Daozong believed that Qin Lang likes to use strange and dangerous troops in military use, and may also directly attack Pyongyang.

"I think Qin Lang might divide his troops into two groups, most of them attack Jian'an, and then send a side army to fight east along the coast." The emperor himself was a strategic master and a military expert. He combined the current situation and accurately grasped Qin Lang's thoughts.

"We have to speed up the marching. Let Cheng Yaojin speed up the marching. I will lead the six armies of the Northern Yaya to come afterwards."

In order to seize the time, the emperor even modified the marching route.

Instead of going out of the pass, you will walk along the coast by the sea, leave Linyu, pass Liaoze, and drive directly to Liaodong City.

"You can't let Qin Lang take the lead. If the Goguryeo people don't pay attention, Qin Lang might even go to Jian'an, An City, or even defeat Liaodong City."

These words made everyone laugh.

Although this possibility is very small, it is really possible for Qin Lang to be the ruthless man who destroyed several countries and the youngest war god in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, the Goguryeo people operated the Liaodong defense line for many years and stationed a large number of troops. In order to avoid several groups of people fighting on their own, Li Shimin's accelerated march was also very reasonable.

The six armies of the Northern Ya who were personally commanded by the emperor were all selected, with each army of 5,000. A total of 12,000 cavalry, 18,000 infantry, one cavalry, two horses, and all infantry had mounts and mobile mounts. They were equipped with mules and donkeys carrying tents and weapons, and followed the army. At the emperor's order, the entire army accelerated its march.

Everyone who passed along the way camped in the wilderness and did not enter the city, nor did they meet local officials and senior students. They traveled and stayed overnight in the morning, and at the end of October, they left Yuguan and entered western Liaoning.

As soon as he entered western Liaoning, he received a good news from Qinhuangdao Port.

Yuguan is the later generations of Beidaihe. The Tang Dynasty set up Yuguan on the edge of the Yu River. With this pass as the boundary, Pingzhou of Hebei in the west and Yingzhou of Liaoxi in the east.

Emperor Shin-Yin visited Jieshi in the east and sent a man from Yan Lu Sheng to the sea to seek immortality. He once stayed here, so he was named Qinhuangdao.

Zhenguan Daguan promoted industry and commerce and opened sea trade. Not only did Daxing the southeast coast, but also the northern ports also emerged. Qinhuangdao is located on the coast of the Bohai Sea, backed by Yanshan Mountain in the north and Yushui in the west. The port is wide and deep, with calm and small waves. The most important thing is that it does not freeze or silt all year round, and is a natural port in the north.

Therefore, after opening a port and communicating, the place became more and more prosperous and lively.

"Qin Lang has taken Jian'an? He has defeated the army of Anshi. Now he has already surrounded Anshi City?"

The emperor was shocked when he heard the news. He was wearing the prince's brown robe, drinking and dew all the way, and rushing without stopping at all. Unexpectedly, he had just passed Yuguan and entered western Liaoning, and heard such a great victory.

"Let me tell me in detail, what's going on!"

The one who reported the victory was the army sent by Niu Jinda. He originally crossed the sea from Anshi City, landed in Qinhuangdao Port, and then planned to go to Youzhou to meet the emperor's victory.

Unexpectedly, the emperor had already passed Linyu, which saved many roads.

When he joined the army, he told the emperor.

How did Qin Lang lead a large army to the sea to enter Jian'an, how did he master the details of the Goguryeo through the secret stakes in Jian'an City, and how did he arrange for people to catch them in the manor while the lord of Jian'an takes concubines and holds a banquet...

"After Qin Xiang and Niu Shuaibing took down Jian'an City without bloodshed, the news was blocked and the city lord Gao Wenxin sent his confidant to ask for help from Liang Wanchun, the city lord of An City!"

Liang Wanchun, the lord of Na'an City, didn't know that it was a plan, but he sent his subordinates to gather 40,000 people to help Jian'an.

He was attacked by the Qin Prime Minister in Ma'anshan, and his army was wiped out in one fell swoop.

"Forty thousand people were wiped out?"

"All annihilate!"

Changsun Wuji, Li Daozong, Yuchi Gong and other ministers and generals also rushed over to hear the news, and Li Shimin asked the army to tell him in detail.

"What kind of ambush is it?"

It turned out that after Qin Lang took over Jian'an, he strictly enforced military discipline and did not violate the people. On the one hand, he announced a martial law curfew, and on the other hand, he promulgated the criminal law of Goguryeo and formally implemented the Tang Dynasty laws. At the same time, he appointed military generals to temporarily serve as officials at all levels in Jian'an to be responsible for all aspects of affairs.

At the same time, the news was blocked and the road was blocked, so that Anshi would not know about the changes here.

Immediately afterwards, he asked Gao Wenxin to send his confidant to Jian'an for help, saying that Beisha Niu Jinda led 30,000 people to attack, and invited the city lord Liang Wanchun to send troops to surround Niu Jinda.

When the messenger went out, Qin Lang followed the troops north.

He led his men into the only way to the south of Anshi City and lie in Ma'anshan.

When Liang Wanchun sent 40,000 troops to pass south, Qin Lang deliberately sent Wang Xuance to lead 5,000 troops to intercept him. In a battle between the two sides, Wang Xuance retreated, and Liang Wanchun's generals were chasing him proudly.

When the Anshi army pursued and pulled into a long snake, passing by the narrow terrain at the foot of Ma'an Mountain, Qin Lang ordered Niu Jinda to lead 20,000 troops out of the Goguryeo people.

Unexpectedly, there was a Tang army behind him. After being surrounded, the troops were in chaos and hurriedly divided the troops to resist.

But at this time, the location of the Siwan'an City Army was a battlefield that Qin Lang had already chosen. On one side was Ma'anshan and on the other side was a river. The terrain was narrow. When the soldiers and horses were chasing, they were pulled into a long snake. They were blocked from front and back and panicked.

Qin Lang personally led his troops to lie on Ma'an Mountain. When he was in chaos, he ordered the drums and horns on the mountain to sing together, and then personally led most of the elite troops to attack from the mountain.

He swooped down from a high position and directly cut the Anshi army's chief snake into countless sections.

Encircle, cut, and break each one.

Qin Lang waited for his leisure to work, and then ambushed 80,000 people here in advance. Two to one, it was very easy to fight.

The Anshi Army was beaten to the point of falling flowers and flowing water, but there was no way to escape. In the end, after being beheaded by Qin Lang for 8,000, Yu Ji abandoned his weapons and knelt down and surrendered.

Qin Lang seized 30,000 horses, 50,000 cows, and countless equipment, which was a great victory.

After the Battle of Ma'anshan, Qin Lang took advantage of the victory to march to the city of Anshi and surrounded the city of Anshi.
