Chapter 24 Don't ask for county officials' honors, but wish to die in Liaodong

The defenders of Jian'an City appeared behind the Tang army, and were personally led by Huxianggu.

A person who has been hiding in Jian'an City and has no choice but to attack famous generals like Su Dingfang, finally led his troops out of the city.

As Yuan Binzhi's most favored adopted son, Yuan Binzhi gave Huxianggu great power in Liaodong. In order to entrust Liaodong to him, he also established great prestige for him. In addition to Yuan Binzhi, he was the only one in Liaodong. It was also because of this that when Yuan Binzhi's grandson Yuan Song was in danger, he could not save him, and he could not save all the generals promoted by Yuan Binzhi in Jian'an City, let them guard the city obediently and sit and watch Yuan Song die in battle.

Huxiang Valley has been slumped in Jian'an City and is not blindly defending it. It is well aware of the situation and the movements of the Tang army and the Goguryeo reinforcements. When Luo Shixin led his troops around Jian'an City to intercept Goguryeo reinforcements, he knew that the situation was not good.

This time, Goguryeo, Baekje and Yamato Alliance jointly dealt with the Tang Dynasty. According to Yuan Binzhi and Huxianggu, it was an extremely unwise move, because only the country Goguryeo is truly connected to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Once the Tang Dynasty was angry, the first one was to be affected by the damage, rather than Baekje in the depths of the peninsula, and even more so, Yamato, which is far away from overseas.

However, Yoon Gaisuwen did not discuss this matter with them at all. He decided on his own initiative and agreed to divide Silla with Baekje and Yamato. Silla is in the east of the sea∵,w▼, but at the same time, facing the conquest of Goguryeo, Baekje and Yamato, it was only a matter of time before the entire territory fell. In order not to suffer losses, most of the heavy troops in Goguryeo were stationed on the Silla border, ready to invade Silla anytime and anywhere.

Yuan Gaisuwen's strategy of using troops is self-evident, defending and attacking. On one hand, he devours Goguryeo's territory to expand his strength, while on the other hand, he uses Liaodong as a barrier to resist the attack of the Tang army.

Perhaps it was because of the four decisive battles with the Sui Dynasty. Goguryeo's record was too brilliant and she didn't care much about the attack of the 100,000 Tang army. She felt that the millions of Sui Dynasty had no strength to take Liaodong, so what was there to be afraid of just 100,000? With Yuan Bin's prestige and defensive ability in Liaodong, the 100,000 army could not do anything to him. First, the weak Silla earned enough profits, and then turned around to deal with the 100,000 Tang army.

This arrangement also allowed Goguryeo's troops to be arranged in Liaodong and Silla lines, and the two places were thousands of miles apart.

No one expected that the Tang army, led by Luo Shixin, won one after another with all preparations, and broke through the Liaoshui defense line of the Great Wall of Goguryeo in order to prevent the invasion of the Central Plains. It also pulled out the new city and surrounded Liaodong. Such effective and fast offensive efficiency was far from comparable to that of the Sui Dynasty in the past. For this reason, Goguryeo was also shocked and hurriedly dispatched troops to reinforce Liaodong. However, it was impossible for Goguryeo to reinforce Liaodong immediately on the border of the Han River Silla. The 35,000 soldiers led by Gao Tubo were the only army that could be drawn to support Liaodong.

If Gao Tubo defeated the Tang army at this time, it means that Liaodong will not receive effective support for a certain period of time, and the current situation in Liaodong is likely to fall into a situation of defeat.

When Huxianggu learned that the attack on Goguryeo was Luo Shixin, he investigated Luo Shixin's resume in detail. A person like Luo Shixin who was so famous that he was in the north and south. It was not difficult to find out his experience and record, and it was easy to draw a terrible conclusion. As one of the most famous and brave generals of the Li Tang Dynasty, Luo Shixin had a daunting combat power in field battles in addition to his terrible martial arts: the Battle of Dapan Mountain defeated 150,000 Turkic cavalry with 20,000 soldiers. The attack on the Turkic war was carried out in one breath and killed the Turkic Khan Court in one breath, and with the power of a single army, he restrained the main Turkic troops... There are countless similar results...

Gao Tubo was considered a general in Goguryeo, but his record was far from that of Luo Shixin.

At this critical moment, Huxianggu had to leave the city to support him. Even if Gao Tubo was defeated, he could save some of the remnants and improve the situation in Liaodong to a certain extent.

Huxianggu is not afraid to go out of the city and fight, but is thinking carefully to weigh the key points of the interests of fighting and not fighting.

When he rushed to the battlefield with thousands of men in charge, he found that the Tang army had already taken the initiative in the battle situation and was not far from victory if he continued to fight.

The only thing that is thankful is that their left-wing army performed very well and gained the upper hand. When he was thinking about how to move troops to obtain the best interests, the battle situation actually changed dramatically. Under the command of a scribe wearing a scribe in the rear of the Tang army, the right wing launched a counterattack, reversed the situation in one fell swoop and recovered the disadvantage of the right wing.

Huxianggu frowned and originally planned to directly attack the right wing of the Tang army, help their left-wing army open a passage and assist them in breaking through. The left-wing army in Goguryeo had more than 10,000 people, and with the advantage of the city, it was not easy to add tens of thousands of combat power to field battles.

"Since that's the case, first defeat the command of the central army and attack the right wing of the Tang army..." Looking at the command post of the central army with less than a hundred people under the Tang army's Jing in front, Huoxiegu formulated a strategy for fighting: in the current situation, the central army led by Luo Shixin and the left wing army led by Li Daozong were fighting smoothly and at ease. Even if they were attacked, they could not reverse the situation. On the contrary, although the right wing of the Tang army turned defeat into victory, there were hidden dangers that could be exploited. As long as they broke through their central army command, they could not reverse their defeat in the right wing of the Tang army, even if they could not reverse their defeat, they could still save all the troops.

Thinking of this, Huxianggu no longer hesitated and directly issued an assault order.

More than a thousand hidden soldiers rushed out with a bang.

Liu Rengui was not surprised at all about the enemy emerging behind him: Luo Shixin's original intention was to lure Huxie Valley out while defeating Goguryeo reinforcements and take the opportunity to capture Jian'an City.

Huxianggu didn't know that their secret passage for quietly leaving the city had been noticed by strange people under Luo Shixin's command. Soon after they left the city, Su Dingfang launched a battle to siege Jian'an City.

Originally, the main purpose of leaving the Jiesheng Army was to deal with the Goguryeo Camp that might have lured out of the city by Huxiang Valley, but because of Zhang Junyi's cowardly battle, Liu Rengui had to transfer the Jiesheng Army to the right wing of the Tang army to support it.

This appointment stabilized the situation of the right-wing army, and also led to less than a hundred guards in the central army of his own.

"Look. I know. These little bastards in Goguryeo are not capable, so they will steal things. Seeing that we are few, they will kill them... there are almost a thousand people. It's quite terrible!" Liu Rengui pointed to the Goguryeo soldiers who were about to rush up in the distance, and said to the surrounding soldiers with some jokes: Before Huxianggu appeared, he had already given a vaccination first. He told the soldiers beside him that they were about to be attacked by Goguryeo soldiers, with a small number of more than a thousand, far better than them.

This unexpected surprise attack and the unexpected surprise attack are two concepts: they knew the existence of Huxianggu in advance, they knew that they were ten times more than them, and they were prepared to deal with strong enemies, and they did not cause any abnormalities, they could only be treated solemnly and cautiously.

But when Liu Rengui and a scholar were faced with a strong enemy who was ten times more powerful than him, they were still joking with them. The tense nerves were also relaxed, and they were not as nervous as the first to be with this ten times enemy.

Seeing that Huoxiegu was about to arrive near, Liu Rengui pulled out the sword on his waist and laughed and said, "There is an old Chinese in Liaodong. Since Wei and Zhou, they have been put outside the country. The Sui army has four soldiers who have lost their rules and returned, and they have killed countless good people. Now our Tang Dynasty soldiers have been here. We have won consecutive battles and wins, and Liaodong is about to recover. We cannot defeat our military because of our timid battles. We do not seek rewards from the county officials here. We only want to die in Liaodong. Do you want to follow me, a scholar who is powerless, to charge together and give the Grand General Manager time to defeat the enemy and win?"

Liu Rengui has no power to tie a chicken, and this is not false at all.

There are accidents happening on this battlefield at any time. Liu Rengui's status as Sima in the army is not small, and the court has prepared armor for him. However, wearing general armor, he is unable to move freely. He can barely wear it for half an hour, and his physical strength will not be able to support him. He falls tired and cannot move on the ground, and is weak since then. Therefore, he is now wearing specially processed literati armor. He looks noble but his defense is almost the same as that of soldiers and armor.

But such a person, facing a strong enemy who is ten times more powerful than himself, pulled out the horizontal sword used to decorate without fear and came to the front line of the soldiers... His eyes were decisive and his fighting spirit was high.

A weak scholar who even sacrifices his life for the country will be willing to fall behind?

Responding to Liu Rengui were two deafening words: "Will!"

"Okay!" Liu Rengui said proudly: "If I die in battle, I will not avoid panic. If I wrap my body around, I will be my Tang Dynasty son... Kill!"

Without any hesitation, Liu Rengui's words "kill" had already jumped out first.

Seeing that Liu Rengui was desperate, the soldiers around him did not hesitate at all, and they all rushed to the front: all of them were far superior to Liu Rengui's riding skills, and they surpassed Liu Rengui and Huxiegu's Goguryeo Ape Camp in one place in just a few seconds.

The battlefield where blood columns eject, life and death, and realize the slightest bit of affection!

However, more than ninety people, Liu Rengui and a scholar, faced a tenfold enemy, forcibly suppressed their offensive.

Liu Rengui is very weak, not ordinary weak!

He slashed at a nearby Goguryeo soldier without even cutting his armor. The other party broke a bloody hole in his arm with one blow.

Liu Rengui didn't say a word, gritting his teeth and was about to fight back, but the Goguryeo soldier had already let the guard who was guarding Liu Rengui cut off his head with a knife.

Liu Rengui ignored the wound on his arm and rushed towards another person.

Although he was weak, he sacrificed himself for his own sake. Under his leadership, he forced more than a thousand Goguryeo soldiers to resist.

Note: Many people say that China has changed. In fact, the word China existed in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it had several meanings at that time. However, after the Han Dynasty, China referred to the Central Plains dynasty established by the Han people and was called "China". "Collected Explanations of the Analects of Confucius": "Zhuxia is China". The word "Zhuxia is China". China is also China, and China is equal to China.

Therefore, the China that appears in my book is not a modern term, but a general term for the Central Plains dynasty in China in ancient times. When Li Shimin conquered Liaodong in history, he said that "revenge the revenge of his children for China" was just the Central People who died in Goguryeo in the Sui Dynasty.
