But Li Jing wanted to mention this matter, which made Gao Zhaokang's face turn white and red, red and purple, purple and black, with his eyes wide open, and his breath was as if he were the cows. The hands in his sleeves were even tightly pinched into fists. If it weren't for his father's cough, he would probably have rushed forward and beat Li Jing directly to his hateful face.
Gao Dexin coughed and pulled his son back from his almost rampage.
He looked at Li Jing's face and felt that Li Jing's words were not intentional provocation. Although they had surrendered to Li Jing, Li Jing had no reason to provoke their Gao family like this. On the contrary, Li Jing should treat the Gao family well. This is the most polite thing and the same attitude as Li Jing's previous attitude. If it was not intentional provocation, then Li Jing's words were really apologized, and this statement made it clear to resolve old grievances.
Thinking of this, Gao Dexinqiang was energetic and smiled: "The Grand Marshal is kind to me, and I am grateful to the dog son. In fact, Princess Bohai is able to follow the Grand Marshal, which is also her blessing. These marriages are destined by heaven, and it can only be said that he has no fate with the Tu Zi. How can the Gao family blame the Grand Marshal? It is resentful to the will of heaven. The past matters are not mentioned or not!"
Li Jing nodded with a smile, "General Gao, where are you?"
Gao Zhaokang took a deep breath, "If the Grand Marshal is willing to give the Gao family some face, I will immediately write a divorce letter to the Dashi."
"Okay!" Li Jing thought for a while, Gao Zhaokang asked to write a divorce letter, which was also considered to save some of the Gao family's face. Without a divorce letter, whether Da Yue'er was snatched away by Li Jing or elopement with Li Jing, it would be a shame for the Gao family. However, if there was a divorce letter, it means that their Gao family took the initiative to divorce Da Yue'er, which was a bit better on their face.
After Gao Zhaokang's divorce was finished, Li Jing took it and put it in his arms.
"Since some of our past unhappiness has been resolved, and some requests have been made, I wonder if General Gao can help?" Li Jing pondered for a moment, and finally asked what he was thinking about.
"Please tell me." Gao Zhaokangxiao, who had finished writing the divorce book, seemed to have felt much more relaxed, but he still didn't have much good expression on Li Jing.
"That's right..." Li Jing said softly to Gao Zhaokang. After hearing this, Gao Zhaokang looked a little surprised and looked at Li Jing: "The Grand Marshal is really willing to trust the last general so much?"
"Hahaha!" Li Jing laughed loudly, "I have always loved to believe in people. I don't need to doubt people, but I don't doubt people. Since I have appointed General Gao as the leader of the Korean army, I will not doubt it anymore." When he said this, Li Jing looked at Gao Dexin intentionally or unintentionally.
Gao Zhaokang's face became even more ugly. Of course, he didn't believe that Li Jing would trust him, but Li Jing had the entire Gao clan in his hands, so he didn't have to worry too much about anything else. Even if Gao Zhaokang was dissatisfied with Li Jing, he wouldn't really ignore the entire Gao clan.
Jian'an Prefecture is located in the area of the present Gaizhou City. It is located in the northwest of the Liaodong Peninsula. It has a landform characteristic of six mountains, three rivers and one branch of fields. It belongs to the hilly area in southern Liaoning. The terrain is high in the east and low in the west. The east and southeast are high mountains and hills, and the west and north are plains. It was called Chenzhou in ancient times. It was already an important town in Liaodong where merchants gathered in the Han Dynasty.
During the Warring States Period, the Yan State opened up the Liaohe River and Gai County, and Gai County belonged to Liaodong County. After Qin unified the Six Kingdoms, it still belonged to Liaodong County. During the Western Han Dynasty and Wei and Jin Dynasties, Wen County was established in the north of Gai County and Pingguo County was established in the south, and it was under the jurisdiction of Liaodong County. During the Sixteen Kingdoms Period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Former Yan, Former Qin and Later Yan belonged to Pingguo County in Pingzhou. After the establishment of Northern Yan in 407 AD, Gai County was once divided by Goguryeo and built Ancheng.
After the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, Jian'anzhou Governor's Office was established here, controlling the northwest of the Liaodong Peninsula.
There are sixteen mountain cities in Jian'an Prefecture. Although the scale of mountain cities is far less than that of Beisha City, there are many mountain cities. These mountain cities control the road directly from the southern coast of Liao to the Liaozhong Plain. A narrow coastal plain is formed on the inner side of the two banks, and mountains are superimposed on the inner side of the plain. A coastal road along the northeast of the Liaodong Peninsula can directly enter and exit the Liaodong Plain. Along this road, there are many mountain cities distributed.
The entire road is connected along the dividing line between the plains along the coast and the mountains inside the plains.
Take Langu Mountain City on the banks of the Fuzhou River in Jizhou as the Chengshan Mountain City, Jili Mountain City in the middle of the Fuzhou River, and Maquanzi Mountain City. From here, you can go directly to Jian'an Mountain City along the northeast road.
Between Jili Mountain City and Jian'an Mountain City, along the road are Chengshan Mountain City East and West Mountain City, Fenying Mountain City, Chengzigou Mountain City, Dongshuangtai Mountain City, Chaoyang Temple Mountain City, etc. In addition to the Zhushan City on this road, there are also first-tier mountain cities on the east side of Jian'an, Chishan Mountain City, Sunjiawobao Mountain City, Yantong Mountain City, Dongsheng Mountain City, Languling Mountain City, Longfengyu Mountain City, Hailongchuan Mountain City, Maquan Mountain City, etc.
The entire Jian'an Prefecture controls an important passage from southern Liao to the Liaohe Line. It is also the vanguard of the Khitans' South Lower Peninsula, and is now occupied by the Lianla tribe of the Diela tribe.
The Lianla tribe was also an old tribe in the Khitan tribe. After the tribes of the Shili tribe were integrated into the Dila tribe, it was also a powerful tribe in the Dila tribe. Last year, he went south to Jili Prefecture to fight. After receiving the support of the Dila tribe, he repeatedly defeated Jili Prefecture, annihilated thousands of Goguryeo people, plundered tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of livestock, and achieved a great harvest. However, under the pressure of the town, the Dila tribe finally released Gao Dexin, who was left with only one Jili Mountain City, and voluntarily retreated back to Jian'an City.
Subsequently, there were many internal conflicts within the Khitan and the situation was tense. Diela troops returned to the Tuhuzhen River Basin, and Lianla troops also sent a thousand cavalry to accept the orders of Dielayi and Lijin to return to the Khiant.
At present, more than a dozen mountain cities in Jian'an still have more than 3,000 cavalry stations in Lianla. Moreover, if urgently mobilized, the entire Jian'an Lianla tribe could mobilize about 2,000 cavalry. If the remaining officials in each tent were added, five thousand cavalry, one person was accompanied by two auxiliary troops, and the entire Lianla tribe was mobilized, and the old and young could gather 5,000 cavalry and ten thousand auxiliary troops, which was amazing.
Moreover, there are also many Khitan tribes in Liaocheng, Yingzhou, Xincheng, Gaimu, Nansu, and Yanjinzhou, which can be supported at any time.
In July, Yelu Dala, the leader of the Lianla tribe in Jian'an City, received an urgent report from the horse probe. The governor of the Tang Dynasty Town in southern Liaoning finally led his troops north. Among them, there were 30,000 horse troops, 100,000 infantry troops, 20,000 navy troops, plus 150,000 auxiliary troops, a total of 300,000 troops, and 500,000 troops from other countries were called 500,000 troops. He came north in a mighty way!
Hearing this news, Yelu Dala was worried. Last year, he took the initiative to withdraw from the city of Jilizhou to Jian'an, but he didn't want to face the Tang army so early. But now, what should come is still coming. But at this time, there was civil strife between the three Yelu and seven tribes, fighting between Diela and Yaonian and Dahe, and there were constant conflicts between Yilijin and Hende Khan. The troops of Diela were mostly withdrawn from Tuhuzhen River, and the Lianlianla tribe also sent one thousand cavalry and two thousand auxiliary soldiers to go there.
Moreover, at this time, the Liao River is the time when the river floods, and the swamps of more than 200 miles in western Liaoning are even more difficult to move forward. The Tang army was very good at picking them. At this time, reinforcements from western Liaoning and Liaodong City could not arrive quickly.
He can only hope that the Goguryeo people can resist them like last year, and Gao Dexin can continue to convene Goguryeo tribes to resist Li Jing.
Yelu Dala ordered that the entire clan immediately mobilized, summoned two thousand cavalry and four thousand auxiliary soldiers, and immediately transferred to Fenyingshan City, Chishan City, Sunjiawobao Mountain City and Chengzigou Mountain City, strictly guarded defense.
On the other hand, he urgently sent people to seek help from the Khitan tribes such as Liaoxi and Liaodongcheng, and reported to the Diela tribe Yilijin Yelu Pugu.
As soon as these messengers were sent, they immediately received an urgent report from the frontline Fenyingshan City Yelu Dachi. The town had already captured Lankou Mountain City and was approaching Jili Mountain City. Gao Dexin knew that he was not defending, so he sent his son Gao Zhaokang to ask Yelu Dachi of Fenyingshan City to submit.
"Gao Zhaokang said that the food and grass in Jili Prefecture were useless and it was difficult to save himself. Although the Tang army sent people to surrender, Gao Zhaokang refused to surrender and was willing to surrender to me!" The envoy reposted Yelu Dachi's words.
"General, be careful of fraud!" Feng Duo, a counselor under Yelu Dala, was a Han Chinese. He came from Dengzhou to cross the sea two years ago. Feng Duo, who was over 40 years old, was originally a member of the Feng clan in Qingzhou and was originally an official in the Great Xie Fort. After the Feng clan was eradicated by Li Jing, he fled to Liaodong. Yelu Dala trusted Feng Duo very much and was always indifferent to him.
Hearing this, he said, "Sir?"
Feng Duo pinched his goatee's beard and said, "Gao Dexin is very stubborn. Last year we beat him only one mountain city, and he refused to surrender. Now Li Jing has just captured one of his mountain cities. He does not surrender to Li Jing, but wants to come to join us. This is a bit strange."
Yelu Dala smiled and said, "Mr. I don't know anything. Now there is a rumor that the wife of Princess Bohai, Gao Zhaokang, the son of Gao Dexin, was intercepted by Li Jing on the way back to Bohai for help. He forced to be his concubine. Now he even gave birth to a child for Li Jing. This is a hatred for Gao Zhaokang to seize his wife. It is reasonable for him to refuse to surrender to Li Jing."
Feng Duo frowned, "Even so, the Gao family refused to surrender to Li Jing, and they could go to other Goguryeo people. They would not have to come to vote for us. You know, if we hadn't attacked Gao Dexin last year, he wouldn't have been so vulnerable."
