Chapter 781 Sea Enemies
Huang Yueying looked at Zhou Yu's report and frowned, "Is this the enemy army that attacked Gaoshen and others?" Chen Gong nodded and said, "I thought so too. I have sent someone to summon Gaoshen. As I spoke, I heard a rushing footsteps at the door. The two of them turned their heads and looked at the door, and they saw Gaoshen wearing official robes quickly stepping in. Gaoshen was originally a big sea merchant in Xuzhou, but now he has been crowned by Ailang as the chief secretary of Haibo, responsible for all maritime business affairs on Ailang.
When Gao Shen saw Chen Gong and Huang Yueying, he immediately bowed: "Goodbye to the Lord and to the Lady!"
Huang Yueying walked to Gao Shen, handed the urgent report sent by Zhou Yu to Gao Shen, and said, "This is the urgent report sent by Zhou Lang from the south just now, look at it." Gao Shen stretched out his hands, took it respectfully, and looked it over. He looked at it with surprise on his face, and said, "Is this enemy fleet attacking our Roman Empire fleet?"
Chen Gong and Huang Yueying looked at each other, and Chen Gong asked, "Can you be sure?" Gao Shen handed the bamboo slip back to Huang Yueying, and fisted at Chen Gong and said, "After lord's words, I'm not sure if I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I think it should be good! The two pointed sail warships with sharp corners have never seen anyone equipped with such warships!" Chen Gong smiled like a self-deprecatingly, "We also want to trade peacefully with the Roman Empire, but they didn't expect them to come to the door!" Huang Yueying frowned and said, "It's still the eldest brother who is right. You are peaceful and righteous to others, but others only think you are easy to bully! There is only a state of surrender and leadership between countries, and there will never be a third state! If we don't start a war, others will not be polite to us!" Chen Gong and Gao Shen nodded deeply.
Chen Gong said to Gao Shen: "Gao Shen, we don't know anything about this newly emerging enemy except you. You immediately rushed to Wujun to assist General Xu Huang in dealing with the Romans." Gao Shen agreed and walked quickly.
Chen Gong turned around and clasped his fists at Huang Yueying and said, "Madam, I thought I should transfer the Huang Gai naval army arranged in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to Wujun immediately to prevent accidents!" Huang Yueying hurriedly said, "Sir, don't ask me. Since the eldest brother has handed over the important task of conquering Luoyang to Mr., everything will naturally be decided by Mr.!"
After returning to Liaodong County in advance, Ailang did not rush to launch an attack after entering Liaodong County, but arranged defenses in Liaodong County and Xi'anping. At the same time, he used a large number of armor and weapons transported from Qingzhou to arm the people of Liaodong. After Ailang's years of war, a large amount of captured armor and weapons were stored in the warehouse that the Qin army could not use. At this moment, these equipment happened to be transported to Liaodong to arm the newly recruited Liaodong people.
Ailang stood on the city gate tower, looking at the lively and crowded scenes of the recruitment sites in the city, and was amazed. He turned his head and said to Gao Chi, "It seems that Gao Chi, you are very popular in Liaodong!" Gao Chi laughed and clasped his fists and said, "The King of Qin praised it! In fact, the people are so enthusiastic about joining the army is not the result of the subordinates, but because of General Zang Ba's troops sacrificed their lives to protect the people! Three thousand Qin soldiers died in the battlefield for the people here. Although everyone didn't say it, the gratitude in their hearts was beyond words! The people of Liaodong have regarded the Qin army as their own army. Now that the Qin army is recruiting new troops in Liaodong, everyone will naturally join the army enthusiastically!" Ailang smiled and nodded.
Thinking of something, he asked, "How many new troops have been recruited now?" Gao Chi clasped his fists and said, "Although it has only been less than half a month, more than 30,000 new troops have been recruited. It is not far from the goal of recruiting 50,000 new troops." Ailang was very happy and nodded.
In the hall of Xuantu County Capitol, Tie Yongnan was discussing matters with his subordinates. At this moment, an officer suddenly rushed in and reported: "General, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here!" Tie Yongnan and others were shocked. Then they saw His Majesty King Gao Tai, who was wearing military uniform, coming in surrounded by a group of generals. Tie Yongnan did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly stood up and led his subordinates to come forward to pay homage: "Greetings to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
Gao Tai smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to be too polite!" Everyone thanked him and stood up. Gao Tai walked to the top and sat down under the support of the two guard generals. He glanced at Tie Yongnan and said, "Thank you for your hard work in the general!" Tie Yongnan felt flattered and then bowed in shame: "My general is ashamed! The General failed His Majesty's trust and failed to capture Liaodong County!"
Gao Tai frowned slightly and said, "I know everything. It was the Qin army that suddenly came, which made the general fail!" Then he asked curiously: "The Qin army's combat power is really so strong? If less than 40,000 troops are enough, your 150,000 army will not be able to make progress?"
Tie Yongnan couldn't help but sigh, and then said, "Although the general of the Mo is unwilling to admit it, it has to be said that this Qin army is the most powerful army that the general has ever seen in his life! The officers and soldiers are brave and brave. Even if they are in desperate situations, they will fight to the end and will never retreat! They are truly the legendary elite tiger and wolf soldiers in the world!"
The tall and thin general who followed Gao Tai suddenly said sarcastically: "I don't think the Qin army is so powerful, but the general is too incompetent! What you said is just to hide your incompetence!" Tie Yongnan was very angry when he saw that the other general Gao Yuan was speaking, but he said lightly: "The general is so serious! Who dares to speak nonsense in front of His Majesty!" Gao Yuan smiled coldly and wanted to mock Tie Yongnan.
At this moment, Gao Tai suddenly raised his right hand and said, "Okay. Don't say more if it's useless." Gao Yuan had to close his mouth.
Gao Tai asked Tie Yongnan, "Does General Tie have any plans to break Liaodong County?" Tie Yongnan hesitated for a moment and clasped his fists and said, "According to the detailed report, Lu Bu has been recruiting new recruits in Liaodong County for a while. Although it has only been more than ten days, more than 30,000 new recruits have been recruited. As for the last general, the troops in his current hands are afraid, I am afraid..."
Gao Tai knew what Tie Yongnan wanted to say, and he felt a little unhappy. He frowned slightly, thinking that Tie Yongnan had a 150,000 army in his hands. Even if the other party had more than 30,000 new recruits, his strength was more than twice that of the other party. In this case, he was so timid that he was too embarrassed to shrink his face in Goguli's army!
Gao Tai said, "General Tie, don't worry. I came here this time and brought a hundred thousand troops, of which 60,000 were servants and cavalry of Xianbei and Wuhuan! With these 100,000 troops as your backing, do you not have confidence?" Tie Yongnan heard the displeasure in Gao Tai's tone, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "With His Majesty's army as backing, I will swear to wipe out Liaodong County in one fell swoop!"
Gao Yuan suddenly clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, General Tie has been scared by the Qin army. Let the general replace General Tie and lead the army to attack! Avoid the headlines being the result of mobilizing the troops but futile!" Tie Yongman was furious and quickly clasped his fists at Gao Tai and said, "Your Majesty, if General Tie is unable to pacify Liaodong in one fell swoop this time, he is willing to be punished by military law!"
Gao Tai glanced at the two of them and smiled and said, "I believe that General Tie will not disappoint me this time. I want to lead the army to attack Liaodong!" Gao Yuan was very disappointed, while Tie Yongnan was very grateful. He only felt that His Majesty's kindness was higher than the sky, so he could only sacrifice his life to repay him. He folded his fists and said, "If the last general cannot wipe out Liaodong in one fell swoop, I am willing to apologize for death!" Gao Tai smiled and said, "I believe that General will definitely be able to do it! I will hand over all the siege equipment I brought this time to the general for use. I hope that the general can make contributions in one fell swoop!" Tie Yongnan said, "Thank you Your Majesty!"
After the meeting, Gao Yuan returned to his tent and couldn't help but say angrily: "Why does Your Majesty still have to let Tie Yongnan take on the important task? He clearly made our army's military power frustrated and the national power was shamed, so it would not be an exaggeration to arrest him immediately!"
The scholar wearing Han Confucian costume next to him smiled and said, "This is the cleverness of Your Majesty!" The scholar was named Gao Tianyi, a Confucian scholar in Xuantu County, and that was the younger brother of the dead Gao Tianren. This man has been staying by Gao Yuan's side to give advice to Gao Yuan, and is his military advisor.
Gao Yuan was surprised when he heard Gao Tianyi's words and asked in confusion: "What does the military advisor mean?" Gao Tianyi smiled and said, "Tie Yongnan failed to break Liaodong in one fell swoop. It can be said that he failed His Majesty's trust. He thought he would lose His Majesty's trust, but he did not expect that His Majesty still believed him and gave him the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious contributions. This is so kind to Tie Yongnan. How could he not do his best to serve His Majesty?" Gao Yuan then realized it, nodded, and said, "So that's it!"
Gao Tianyi clasped his fists and said, "This matter is actually a good thing for the general!" Gao Yuan said angrily: "Nonsense! How can this be said to be a good thing? If I was broken by Tie Yongnan in one fell swoop, I would be depressed!"
Gao Tianyi said: "How can it be so simple? If the Qin army was defeated so easily, Tie Yongnan would not have been defeated by the Qin army many times! This Qin army is famous, and with the Tie Yongnan's record of fighting with him, I am afraid that the Qin army is really a fierce tiger and wolf man in the world!..." Gao Yuan sneered and said unhappy: "Nonsense! The fierce world is our Gogurye Warriors, it's not their turn to Han people!"
Gao Tianyi quickly agreed and then said, "I guess Tie Yongnan will never win easily, and may even be frustrated in the attack. The general can take the opportunity to observe the combat effectiveness and fighting characteristics of the Qin army. When Tie Yongnan's attack is frustrated, it is also easy to replace Tie Yongnan to defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop! At that time, Tie Yongnan could no longer raise his head!" Gao Yuan was overjoyed and praised: "The military advisor said this well! I will sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight! Hahaha!"
Ailang received an urgent report from a scout in Liaodong County. He learned that Gao Tai, King Gao Guli, had arrived in person and led an army of more than 200,000 to Liaodong County. Ailang immediately stopped the recruitment work and prepared the whole city to fight. At the same time, Gao Chi sent his subordinates to evacuate the people to the surrounding counties, towns and villages. Xinchang's tragic situation must not allow it to appear again.
