"Why do you have this?" Niu Jinda, as a former general, was naturally qualified to see all the telegrams. Seeing Yan Fei's future logistics as a threat and forcing the emperor to agree to his request and plan, he could only sigh in the end.

Because he knew very well that although Yan Fei succeeded, he deeply offended the emperor. No emperor was willing to accept such coercion, especially those with capable emperors like Li Shimin.

"No one can stop what I want to do." Yan Fei didn't care about this, but he still had some respect for Lao Niu and directly told his true plans. "I will attract Yuan Gai Suwen's main force to the city of Yingzhou. When the emperor comes, you can kill him directly."

"Maybe Your Majesty will be angry, and it may be possible not to rescue Liaodong City." Although Niu Jinda was loyal to the emperor, he, as a general, must be prepared for all possible things. Once Li Shimin refused to go to Liaodong City for rescue due to anger, or delayed the marching. With Yan Fei's strength, he might be able to leave, but the ten thousand elite soldiers who followed Yan Fei would be really over.

"This is impossible." Yan Fei smiled, as if he saw his prey falling into a trap. "The former emperor is not such a person. What I took away is his troops. Secondly, even this doesn't matter. Because I will only leave enough food and supplies for Yingzhou City to use for twenty days. Even if I save some time, I can plunder everywhere, and I can eat for thirty days. After thirty days, your Majesty's army will be over."

Yan Fei was not worried that Li Shimin would not be rescued when he was dead. As for the reason, he still threatened with food, grass and supplies. Because this time, the civilians did not recruit or reserved food, all the logistics depended on Yan Fei's provision. Yan Fei had stayed in the central army and let them carry with him for only more than ten days, which was only enough for them to arrive in Yingzhou City.

Later, there were twenty days of food and supplies left in Yingzhou City, and Li Shimin, who had more than 200,000 troops, had only two choices.

Either use this grain to go back to Youzhou, then eat all the way to the reserved grain from all over the country, and then return to Chang'an City. Or according to Yan Fei's plan, the entire army attacked into Liaodong City, and then won the decisive battle with Yuan Gai Suwen's army and received Yan Fei's supply again.

It is not that Yan Fei cannot provide enough food for several months at once. It is because this army attack did not carry the civilians at all. Without a large number of civilians, it is impossible to carry large-scale transportation. The army can only rely on its own strength to carry the baggage.

The military rations carried by modern troops only last for one week at most, and the amount of 10 days of death is the same. The same is true for ancient troops. Even if they were carried desperately, they could only last for 20 or 30 days of death. They were army, not civilians who transported food and grass.

With Yan Fei's understanding of Li Shimin, this emperor with great perseverance and strong self-esteem would never go back in shame and record a rich and shameful sentence in history books. His self-esteem does not allow him to fail. Therefore, it is inevitable to cooperate with his own actions.

Of course, doing this will definitely offend Li Shimin. But for Yan Fei, killing Goguryeo and taking away the Nine Cauldrons is the final pursuit. At worst, it is not enough to come to this time and space in the future.

"This time it is a rare opportunity to make achievements." Yan Fei shook the telegram in his hand. "The army went deep thousands of miles away to destroy the capital and break the city. It also led to the main siege of the Goguryeo people. This is something that will inevitably be remembered by history books. Don't you go?"

Yan Fei's words made Niu Jinda feel excited. This is indeed a matter of having face as long as he participates, and if he had participated in the previous military commander, he would inevitably be recorded in history. But when he thought of the emperor's order, he had to smile bitterly and wave his hand, "Your Majesty has an order, and I ordered me to wait for the army here."

Niu Jinda has a square character and is a kind of orthodox general who is straightforward and will not violate the orders. The emperor asked him to wait, so he would definitely not do anything else and would not give any means to the king's orders.

"Then there is nothing to do." Yan Fei looked indifferent. "This credit can only fall on Su Dingfang."

Niu Jinda is the main general and must sit in Yingzhou and wait for the emperor's main force to arrive. Deputy General Su Dingfang can lead his army to Liaodong City with Yan Fei. Regardless of the success or failure of this operation, Su Dingfang will surely gain great reputation.

The next morning, Yan Fei, who left countless food and supplies outside the city, took Su Dingfang and almost all the cavalry in the front army to leave Yingzhou City, and galloped towards Liaodong hundreds of miles east.

Niu Jinda did not add any obstacles to Yan Fei, but instead gave as much help as possible within his authority. He handed over all the cavalry in the front army to Su Dingfang and took Yan Fei to Liaodong City with Yan Fei, with a number of nearly 15,000. This was much more than Yan Fei asked before.

After experiencing the siege between Lu Long and Yingzhou, both Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang knew very well that siege was nothing to Yan Fei. The difficulty lies in how to defend the city after Yuan Gai Suwen's main force appeared. Therefore, Niu Jinda provided as much manpower as possible.

As for why everyone is convinced that Yuen Gaisuwen will definitely appear, it is because the meaning of Liaodong City is different.

Yingzhou City is located in western Liaoning, and as the name suggests, Liaodong City is naturally in Liaodong.

Liaodong City is actually Liaoyang in the modern world. This is a city with a history of thousands of years. It was the famous Xiangping as early as the Three Kingdoms era, and it was later snatched by Goguryeo and renamed Liaodong City.

This city is a rare large city with two inner and outer walls. The inner city has two-story and three-story buildings, with government warehouses and other places. The outer city is a commercial area and a residential area, where a large population gathers here. There are three city gates, opposite the east and west gates, and they also have double-story gate towers. The city wall has defensive facilities such as horn towers, scepters, and daughter walls. There are many buildings inside and outside the city and the scale is magnificent.

Another extremely important significance of Liaodong City is that it is the core of Goguryeo in its eastern part and is also the base camp of Yongaisu.

There were kings and powerful ministers in Goguryeo.

King Gao Jianwu's power was in the southern royal capital area and controlled about one-third of the country's military power. The powerful minister Yuan Gaisuwen was in the east and north, controlling two-thirds of the country's military power.

Gao Jianwu's position tends toward the Central Plains dynasty, not because he really admires China, but because he wants to rely on the power of the outside world in the face of Yuan Gaisuwen's oppression. After all, his strength is too far apart from Yuan Gaisuwen.

Yuan Gaisuwen was determined to fight against the Central Plains dynasty. Because he was very ambitious, he was unwilling to keep huddling in a corner of the northeast to conquer the world. Moreover, because Goguryeo had defeated the Sui army several times before, he was very contemptuous of the Central Plains dynasty.

For example, Jingguan outside Liaodong City, the driving force behind it is Yuan Gaisuwen. This is Yuan Gaisuwen's base camp. Without his consent and promotion, how could such an extremely exciting Tang Dynasty be accomplished? And the reason why he did this was entirely because of jealousy.

He was jealous of Li Shimin's killing Jie Li, and was praised as the Khan of the Heavenly Khan. Therefore, he wanted to cast Jingguan to humiliate Li Shimin, the emperor of the Central Plains, which was a pity in his heart. However, he did not expect that this action became the reason for the Tang Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo.

As the base camp of Yuangasuwen, Liaodong City is naturally high in the city and deep in the ditch. The Prince River has become the moat of this city. In the past, there were never less than 50,000 troops stationed here, and there were more than 200,000 people inside and outside the city. This is definitely one of the best big cities in Goguryeo.

However, after receiving the news that the Tang army was about to invade, Yuan Gaisuwen issued an order to concentrate his troops and redistribute the troops stationed in various places under his command.

Lulong City, which was closest to the Tang Dynasty, was directly abandoned because the city was too small and too close to the Tang Dynasty, leaving thousands of troops to consume the Tang Dynasty's troops and delay time. He then ordered his younger brother Yuan Jingtu to lead 20,000 elite troops to guard the tall Yingzhou City, attracting the main force of the Tang army to attack the city. He personally led the main force to ambush near Yingzhou City and wait for the right time to raid the Tang army.

That's right, Yuan Gaisuwen, who was full of confidence, chose the place of decisive battle in Yingzhou City. Before, when Yan Fei captured Yingzhou City, the army led by Yuan Gaisuwen was on the grassland three or four hundred miles northeast of Yingzhou City.

Yuan Gaisuwen was determined to defeat the Tang army outside Yingzhou City, and even killed or captured Li Shimin, who was in charge of the army. In order to achieve his goal, he not only placed his main force far away on the distant grassland where Dong Tu and Tu were trapped in turmoil and chaotic, but also used as much as possible to draw the defenders from all cities in the rear to strengthen the strength of the field legion.

Because Yuan Gai Suwen was confident that he could defeat the Tang army under Yingzhou City, even the extremely important city of Liaodong City was transferred away most of the defenders, leaving only less than 10,000 troops to guard it.

However, the battle situation did not develop as expected by Yuan Gaisuwen. The main force of the Tang army had not even entered Goguryeo. It was believed that it could block the Tang army for at least ten days and that it had killed and damaged tens of thousands of Tang army and severely destroyed its morale. It was broken without even taking it down for a night. It was later regarded as a place for the decisive battle, and it was thought that it was enough to hold on for three months until the Tang army was exhausted and the Yingzhou City, which suffered heavy losses, was even more defeated!

This change of war situation that was far beyond imagination and the lightning-like raid of the Tang army made Yuan Gaisuwen, who was trying to win over the nomadic peoples on the grassland, looked like Venus, and he vomited blood and fainted directly on the ground.

After being awakened, this guy who was praised as an invincible god of war by the sticks who were unknown to future generations, opened his mouth and said, "The Pure Land of Waste Abyss, I will return it to Yingzhou City!"

Yingzhou City is high and deep, suitable for defense. In addition, Yuan Gaisuwen sent 20,000 elite troops, and the previous defenders and the defenders withdrawn from Lulong City were almost 30,000. For Yuan Gaisuwen, who had a total force of only about 400,000, this was already nearly one-tenth of his strength. However, it was wiped out overnight. No one could bear this heavy blow.

If Yuan Pure Land, who had died under the trampling of thousands of troops, appeared in front of Yuan Gaisuwen at this time, he would definitely be chopped into meat paste by Yuan Gaisuwen, who was furious with five swords.
