Chapter 818: Sunrise in the East (43)

Yulin Gaoyuan held an urgent military report from Jishi City in his hand and frowned. At this time, the Qi State suddenly attacked the Yan State and seized a large area of ​​Yan State's land in one fell swoop. The troops threatened Jicheng and at the same time divided their forces to attack Langya. It was indeed a big blow. To his surprise, Tian Dan, the chief assistant in charge of the power of Qi State, this generous move is amazing

Gao Yuan had to reflect on whether he had underestimated this powerful prime minister before, and now that he thought about it, he was able to hold power in Qi for decades and eclipse the monarch, so that the people of Qi only knew that there was a chief minister and no king. How could the character be a simple guy? Tian Dan's hand not only put the Yan Kingdom on the verge of destruction, but also plunged the Eastern Expedition Army into an unprecedented crisis. The local situation was dangerous, and all the troops were on the battlefield of Donghu. Where to go?

Under the tent, all the generals were looking at Gao Yuan, waiting for him to make a decision.

"General Xiong, look?" Gao Yuan looked at Xiong Ben

Kumamoto, who is sitting first on the right, not only won Gao Yuan's trust after dividing his headquarters into the Eastern Expedition Army, but also won the respect of other generals in the Eastern Expedition Army, although he now has almost no weapons in his hands. One soldier at a time, but he still sat in the first place on the right, second only to Xu Yuan, who was sitting in the first place on the left side of Gao Yuan.

"For the sake of the mountain, we can't fall short." Xiong Benzi bowed slightly and said: "Donghu is about to be destroyed. At this moment, we must not give them any breathing space. The governor has been planning for many years, and he is about to succeed. How can he do it at this time?" Close hand?"

"What about the mainland?" Xu Yuan frowned, "We know we can't stop, but if Langya is lost, even western Liaoning will be threatened. This is not something we can bear."

"Delay!" Kumamoto said simply: "In Langya, you can delay as long as you can, but in Western Liaoning, you resolutely defend the enemy from outside the country, as long as you hold Western Liaoning. Losing Langya is not a big deal, after all, Langya Shortly after the return of Zhengdong Prefecture, both the political foundation and the importance of Zhengdong Prefecture were far inferior to those in Liaoxi. Moreover, if Qi State destroyed Yan State, it would not necessarily be a bad thing for the governor."

Kumamoto looked at Gao Yuan meaningfully, "After all, the governor is the general of the Yan State who conquered the east. Although the relationship between the two parties was bad and they fought many times, until now, the governor has never claimed to break away from the Yan State and become the king on his own. Both sides are in name only. , there is still a subordinate relationship. After the governor annihilates Donghu, he will inevitably attack Jicheng. In the eyes of the world, this is a crime and usurpation of the throne. Although the people will not have much reaction, it will still be full of color in the long history. Make a note of it"

"So what?" Xu Yuan said angrily

"Commander Xu may not care, but the commander-in-chief cannot care at all. It is best for the superior not to have such a stain on his body." Xiongben said with a smile: "If the Qi people destroy the Yan Kingdom, and the commander-in-chief sends troops to regain his homeland, he will At that time, the Yan court with the surname Ji no longer existed, and the governor defeated the Qi people and established himself as king. It was natural and no one could find any reason."

Gao Yuan heard this.

Can't help but smile and nod

"So, for this point. Even if Langya is temporarily lost, it doesn't matter. As long as we defeat Donghu and return to the court, what does Qi people mean?" Xiongben saw Gao Yuan's move and couldn't help but smile and said, "Qi people There has been no war for ten years, but there have been occasional battles, and the target is also the Yan State. They don't know how powerful the Eastern Expeditionary Army is. Only when the governor and his army appear on the battlefield will they truly understand what a true heroic army in the world is."

Hearing this, Gao Yuan laughed and said: "General Kumamoto knows the Qi people very well. Hearing that you are so confident makes me very ambitious."

"The governor is humble, and this is only the worst case scenario. What's more, although Langya is empty, there are still two armies of Zheng Xiaoyang and Ding Wei who can enter the battle. They may not be able to defeat the Qi army, but it is not impossible to hold the Qi army back. These For days, I have been studying with the governor, and I have also learned that in the western Liaoning provinces, the reserve system of Zhengdong Prefecture is very strong. It is not difficult for the Zhengdong reserves to defend western Liaoning." Xiong Bendao

"General Xiong is right," Gao Yuan nodded and said, "It's basically consistent with what I mean. However, my army in Yulin must end its rest and recuperation immediately and prepare to march to Helin. We will attack Helin from two sides with He Lanxiong's troops, and strive to win in the shortest possible time. Within time, we can capture Helin and destroy the Donghu royal court. As long as we capture Helin, Donghu's rule in Liaodong will be over. The remaining things will be much easier to handle. We only need to leave a certain amount of troops. If you continue to exterminate the remnants of Donghu here, you can pass on my order. The entire army will begin to assemble today and march to Donghu tomorrow. Send an order to He Lanxiong to speed up the march and launch an attack on Helin."

The generals stood up suddenly and said, "I obey!"

The generals left one by one. Looking at the backs of many generals, the smile on Gao Yuan's face was slowly fading away from Qi Ren. He wanted to take advantage of the situation, but you were proud of it for a while. When I returned, how much did you eat from me? You have to spit out as much as you want, and you have to pay me interest.

"Captain, Jing'er and Xiao Gaoxing are in Langya and refuse to leave. Now, what should we do?" Ning Xin looked at Gao Yuan and asked in a low voice. Behind the military newspaper, there was also a secret letter urgently sent by the Supervisory Council. Although Cao Tianci had arrived at Langya, he could not defeat Ye Jing'er and had no choice but to stay with Ye Jing'er for protection.

"If she leaves Langya and returns to Jishi City at this time, she will no longer be my Gao Yuan's woman." Gao Yuan said softly: "Jing'er is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She will never look back on things she believes in. She also did it back then. When Jishi City was besieged, she went to the city to beat drums to cheer her up. At this time, she stayed in Langya, with mixed gains and losses. With her here, Langya's resistance would be more resolute, but at the same time, the Qi people's attack would be stronger. Tian Dan , maybe you don’t want to catch my Gaoyuan little debater!”

"We have to think of some way. We can't just watch." Ning Xin grabbed her hair and twisted it hard. After a long while, she suddenly said: "Captain, Tian Dan can suddenly attack our territory, then why don't we go to Qi Ren's homeland?" Create some trouble for him?"

"You mean?"

"Our navy," Ning Xin said, "the government has been training navy for several years, and now there are five large ships, which can ferry about a thousand soldiers across the sea at a time. Kou Shuguang has been immersed in water in the past two years. Master, it’s time to let them move."

"You mean to send people to land on the coast of Qi State and then carry out harassing attacks?" Gao Yuan said with genuine interest.

"Yes, it's not just a harassing attack. If possible, it would be better to establish an advance base in Qi. I think after we defeat Donghu and defeat the Qi army, the governor will definitely target Qi as our next target. Country, their invasion of Yan Country is our best excuse for revenge. Since we will definitely take action when the time comes, we might as well plant a nail now," Ning Xin suggested.

Gao Yuan touched his chin, "Your suggestion is very good, so I will let you take charge and tell Kou Shuguang not to use the banner of our Zhengdong Mansion and let them pretend to be pirates and bandits to harass the coast of Qi. It is best to control one or two There is a port or harbor suitable for large-scale ships to land. When we are ready to launch a large-scale attack on Qi, we can provide them with a land and water approach to catch them off guard."

"Pretending to be a pirate?" Ning Xin looked at Gao Yuan with bright eyes

"Yes, don't expose our strength at sea prematurely. This will arouse the vigilance of the Qi people, so they can take precautions. Well, Bai Yucheng's special brigade can be transferred there. His troops are the most suitable for doing this kind of thing." Gao Yuan laughed and said, "You can arrange the specific matters."

"Then I have to leave here" Ning Xin looked at Gao Yuan with some reluctance.

Gao Yuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold Ning Xin's little hand, "Go ahead and wait until I come back from Donghu Class Teacher"

"What's going on at Mugulu?"

"Niu Teng is watching over Mugulu. He Lanxiong and the others have already gone over to meet Niu Teng. The overall situation has been decided. You don't have to worry."

Just when Gao Yuan was making up his mind, in the direction of the East Route Army, Ye Zhong also received an urgent military report from Zhengdong Mansion in Jishi City and Jiang Jiaquan's suggestion, "Without affecting the attack on He Lin, send out troops as appropriate." The troops were stationed in western Liaoning to prevent the Qi army from encroaching on western Liaoning."

Ye Zhong thought for a moment and summoned Zhang Hongyu, commander of the newly formed First Army.

"Hongyu, your troops are going to return to the army immediately, station in western Liaoning, and establish a defense line in the Xiaoshanguan area." Ye Zhong handed the military report in his hand to Zhang Hongyu

After reading the military report at a glance, Zhang Hongyu raised his head solemnly, "Commander, aren't you going to rescue Langya?"

Ye Zhong raised his head and said, "Let's move the camera. If Langya has not been lost when you arrive at Xiaoshan Pass, you can decide whether to march to Langya. But no matter how you do it, one thing must be guaranteed, that is to ensure that Qi people cannot cross." The area around the Yaoshan Pass enters Western Liaoning. Western Liaoning is an important town in our campaign to conquer the east, and there must be no room for failure."

"I understand," Zhang Hongyu nodded and turned around to proceed.

"More!" Ye Zhong stopped him, "Madam and the young master are still in Langya. Madam is unwilling to leave early, so we must ensure their safety."

"My subordinates have remembered it"

Watching Zhang Hongyu leave, a cold light flashed in Ye Zhong's eyes, "Here comes someone, order the whole army to speed up and approach He Lin."

The two armies of the Zhengdong Prefecture, one from Yulin and the other from Liaoning Wei, rushed at full speed towards Helin, the last city of Donghu. At the same time, Thorpe's King Qin order was also sent to various tribes still under Donghu's control. Countless Donghu people are also gathering towards Helin, and the final decisive battle between the two sides is about to begin.

But at this time, in Xinhui, the battle has entered a fierce state. There are piles of corpses outside the city, and blood is stained on the city. This small county town, with more than a thousand defenders, has completely blocked the Qi army here. Three days (to be continued)
