Li Guan led the troops to sail to the sea, first went to Wuhu Island to meet the defeated Nutao Camp, and then joined the soldiers of Zhenhai Camp, heading straight to Qingnipu. Megan and Julie were invited by Li Guan to accompany him. Although the two were very dissatisfied with their subordinates' house arrest, they also knew that the lieutenants had Li Guan's support, and they also asked for troops to be sent back at that time, and they were responsible for their fault and did not make any noise.

However, Li Yan also knew that after this, they would find it difficult to get along with their subordinates. He immediately transferred Megan and Julie to the ten generals of the Nutao Camp's Procuratorate and the ten deputy generals, and they temporarily ruled the remaining soldiers of the Nutao Camp. The Zhenhai Camp was handed over to the original general, who was also the commander of Li Xu of the same clan, and promoted him to the ten generals of the Zhenhai Camp.

Before leaving, Li Chan said solemnly to Julie, Meghan and the generals of Li Xu: "Some of the previous misunderstandings were for Shamen Town. This battle is of great importance and cannot be defeated. I hope everyone will ignore past grudges, cooperate with each other, fight this battle well, and save the generals of the Ten Generals of Huang and the brothers of Nutao Camp."

Li Xu took the initiative to apologize to Meghan and the others first, and promised: "I will definitely live up to the general's order."

The besieged Qingni City was Zhang Dewei, the lord of Beisha City, who personally led him. When Shamen Town met with the Eighth Battalions of Dengzhou, he was surprised and quickly summoned his subordinates to discuss. Originally, everyone thought that as long as Li Lingfu was defeated, Li Yan would not send troops again. Li Dedao, his adviser: "The city lord should not be panicked. Li Yan is only more than 10,000 people. When should he worry? More than 40,000 people of Li Lingfu attacked Duli Town and did not have any troops. Now Li Yan dared to come with more than 10,000 people. It was just a death sentence. We don't have to be afraid of him now. As long as we capture Qingni City first, Li Yan will inevitably withdraw his troops automatically when he sees this."

Zhang Dewei immediately ordered to step up the attack on the inner city of Qingni City. In addition to the five thousand soldiers and horses of the Li Juyi brothers in the valley outside the city, 30,000 soldiers and horses were eliminated and more than a thousand injured. There were still more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left to attack the city together. On the other hand, Li De was sent to Duli Town, asking Duli Town to send troops to reinforce and fight against Li Guan.

Li Guan marched all the way, and while sending Li Wei to scout the situation in Qingni City, he was reported that only the troops of Beisha City were besieging Qingni City. The troops in Duli Town did not arrive. "Bisha City is stepping up the attack. The soldiers and civilians in Qingni City are retreating to the inner city. Li Juren and Li Meng and others are fighting to the death, but they can only hold on for a few days at most, and they will fall after a little later."

The generals under the seat said that they should go to support Qingni City immediately, but Megan and others asked to rescue Huang Huzi and others who were trapped in the valley outside the city first. While everyone was making noise, a scholar in his thirty years in the last seat was smiling alone there.

Seeing this, Li Guan couldn't help but ask: "Zi Mei was so funny that she suddenly laughed, but she had a good idea to defeat the enemy?"

This person is a new scholar who joined Li Guan. His surname is Li Liang and his courtesy name is Zimei. Although he is wearing a blue shirt and has no grade, his family background is not low. His ancestors were from Sumohu, a native of Zhaowu, who lived in the Western Regions. Later, he entered the Tang Dynasty. Li Baozhen, a hero of the revival of the Tang Dynasty, was his great-grandfather. Li Baozhen was given the surname Li because he was ashamed to have the same surname as An Lushan. By his generation, his family declined a little. He had participated in the imperial examination several times but failed, which made him hate the imperial examinations, especially some of the corruption in it, and finally went to business.

When Li Guan attacked Daxie Village, his merchant ship was forcibly requisitioned by Feng Zhang, so he became Li Guan's captive after the war. However, when Li Guan heard that when Feng Zhang recruited his ship, he once persuaded Feng Zhang not to attack Shamen Town, and said that he would be defeated in this battle, but Feng Zhang did not listen. Li Guan felt that the merchant was a bit extraordinary. After meeting him in person and talking to him, he felt that this man had a very special conversation and a good vision, so he personally invited him to the tent to serve as his staff. The position of staff was one of the important staff members under the military envoy. He was not at the level of the garrison town, and he was of the eighth rank.

With just a conversation, Li Yan wanted to be the staff officer of the eighth rank, which surprised Li Liang. In the end, he was so excited that he met the good master and immediately accepted the invitation and appointment. However, although he was a staff officer, he was still just a newcomer in Shamen Town, so at this time, he only respected the last seat to discuss matters.

Hearing Li Guan's question, Li Liang stood up quickly, bowed and said, "I returned to the yamen. I thought it was not difficult to save Qingni City. The difficult thing is how to answer the fundamental purpose of our troops. It is to show the military power of our Shamen Town in such an unfavorable situation at present, and intimidate the Liaodong tribes, so that they dare not take Qingni City again, and then develop evil intentions towards our Shamen Town. Therefore, the yimen seems to be the first to save Qingni City. If we show our military power, we will be the master."

Zhang Hong looked at Li Liang with some dissatisfaction, thinking that this person was just a sensational person and could only talk a little. He thought that he worked hard to manage many affairs for Shamen Town and worked diligently to get Li Guan's trust and become the first person to be aide. Li Liang ignored everything and only cared about some things, but he was very trusted by Li Guan, which made him a little depressed.

"What are your plans?" Zhang Hong asked with a hint of hostility.

Li Liang gently stroked the three long beards under his jaw and smiled, "If the general can use the best strategy, he will definitely be able to fight against Beisha City and Duli Town, which dare not have any inappropriate thoughts about us anymore."

"Tell me!" Li Guan couldn't help but stir up his appetite for Li Liang's confident words.

As the generals looked around, Li Liang smiled and said, "Although the number of Beisha City is a mob, it is just a group of horse thieves. In the past, I have been suppressed by Li Lingfu, but this time I just took advantage of the danger. Moreover, Beisha City was defeated by Li Lingfu before, and the three thousand elite cavalry were lost by 2,000. Now of the 30,000 soldiers, the real elites are only more than a thousand cavalry and only ten thousand infantry, and the rest are only strong men and civilians. I attacked them with regular soldiers and attacked them with surprises, and all of them were successful. There is also a plan that not only the security guard Qingni City, but also the Duli Town can be defeated."

Li Guan asked: "The plan will be released?"

Li Liang said confidently: "Li Lingfu's defeat in Duli Town is that among the coalition forces he brought, 5,000 Khitans and Xi people were bribed by Duli Town and turned against each other, which led to Li Lingfu's defeat. Otherwise, although Li Lingfu was defeated, he would never have almost lost all his troops. As far as he knows, among the 30,000 troops of Zhang Dewei in this Beisha City, they were not all soldiers of Beisha City, but there were Goguryeo nobles, Silla people and even Bohai. Although there were not many soldiers and horses, only 3,000 people. They were all infantrymen, but they accounted for about 30% of the infantrymen in Beisha City. We might as well follow Duli Town and buy them. These three thousand soldiers and horses came from the three forces of Goguryeo, Bohai and Silla, but their power was very small and they survived in the cracks of Liaodong. They were mercenaries and bandits. This time they followed Zhang Dewei to send troops to Qingnipu, and the rest also took money to serve as mercenaries."

"Are you a mercenary? In fact, it's just a group of bandits. As long as you pay more money, they will definitely work hard for someone. These people have no morals. Yanei. Just take out a sum of money to secretly bribe these three thousand soldiers and horses, and you can achieve great achievements at the critical moment."

“How exactly?”

Li Liang said: "The specific strategy under the post is the second commander and two strange soldiers. The second commander is divided into two groups, attacking Qingnipu directly, and heading directly to rescue the trapped people and horses in the surrounded valley. The key is the second route of surprise soldiers. The first route of surprise soldiers is naturally the foreign soldiers among the Beisha soldiers and horses. The second route of surprise soldiers is lurking on the way to the valley where Duli Town came to the valley. I heard that Zhang Dewei had sent a letter to Duli Town and asked him to send troops to help. The second route of surprise soldiers is the reinforcements from Duli Town."

After hearing these two and two strange strategies, Li Guan couldn't help but applaud. He did not misunderstand the person. This Li Liang was indeed a strategic aide and the talent he lacked the most now. He secretly bribed the enemy soldiers and cooperated inside and outside, but outside the ambush city, he was just surrounding the points to attack and support. These two strategies were in line with the essence of military strategy. From this we can see that Li Liang was indeed talented.

"Okay, a good plan. But I want to leave it to you to do it personally when buying the three foreign soldiers. Do you dare to go?" Li Guan's last sentence was to test his courage, and the plan was proposed by him. Li Guan also believed that he could have the ability to complete this task.

Li Liang did not disappoint Li Guan and responded without hesitation. Li Guan wrote three letters to the foreign tribes for him to bring them with him, and promised the three foreign tribes each with a purchase of 100,000 yuan.

Li Guan led his army to land directly at Qingni Port. Zhang Dewei may have heard of the reputation of Li Guan's fleet, so he did not dare to come to the port to fight. Instead, he only placed more than 10,000 troops on the hem of Qingni City to fight and defend, and the rest continued to attack Qingni City. Li Guan's troops came ashore and discovered the right wing of the three foreign troops stationed in Qingni City. He led his troops to advance that night, attracting three thousand foreign troops to greet him, but suddenly withdrew his troops.

Li Liang led more than ten cavalry and Li Guan's letter to take this opportunity to enter the foreign military camp. The three foreign troops were organized into a battalion, with one thousand troops each. The main general was Gao Rong, a nobleman of Goguryeo, who was the serious Goguryeo royal family. He heard the report in the camp that there were more than a dozen cavalry in front of the camp and had not seen them. He was surprised and asked someone to bring them into the tent.

"You are Li Chen, what should you do here?"

Li Liang was not afraid of Gao Rong's shouting, and smiled and said with a hint: "I am sending wealth to the general. Although my general is in Dengzhou, I have heard that the general's reputation has long been known. But I heard that although the general is unparalleled, he has no foundation for his own foundation. I think that Zhang Dewei is just a thief, but he occupies such a big city in Beisha City. General Gao is the royal family of Goguryeo, but has no basis. My general respects General Gao's identity and heroes and specially brings wealth to the general. As long as the general cooperates with my lord, Beisha City will belong to you from now on, and my general is willing to offer a generous gift of 100,000 yuan. If General Gao can persuade the two tribes of Mary and Silla, then there is still a lot of thanks. The opportunity must not be missed. If the time is not coming again, I will regret it if I don't want to do it early!"

After Gao Rong took Li Yan's handwritten letter, he was very moved. In the letter, Li Yan not only proposed that if he cooperated to defeat Zhang Dewei, he would fully support him in seizing Beisha City, but also gave him another 100,000 guan. He also promised that after lifting the siege of Qingni City, he would also have a great gift to thank him. Gao Rong was indeed the descendant of the royal family of Goguryeo, and his ancestors were the King of Goguryeo. Even after being destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, the nobles of Goguryeo once served as the vassal of Andu and actually helped the Tang court manage Liaodong. But now, the hearsay he led was only tens of thousands of people. This time, Zhang Dewei came to help with the siege of 5,000 guan. Five thousand guan was a lot. After all, this was just the cost of sending troops. The plunder and seizure on the battlefield belonged to them. After a battle, he would probably earn tens of thousands of people, which could greatly alleviate the tribe's dilemma.

But now compared with the conditions offered by Li Guan, Gao Rong couldn't help but feel that Zhou Dewei was too stingy. If Qingnipu was built, how big would it be? He only gave him five thousand guan. Like Li Guan, he would have 100,000 guan at the beginning of his mouth, which was just a gift for the meeting. He also promised him to seize Beisha City as the foundation.

Gao Rong sighed and said, "I hated that I had not met a hero like Ji Yu earlier. Don't worry about this matter. The other two members, you don't have to worry about it. The Chessun tribe is actually a rebellious tribe of the Marine tribe of the Bohai Kingdom. It was very difficult to escape to Liaodong. The Fu'an tribe in Silla was actually an old subordinate of Baekje. He was also unable to stay in the country, so he fled to Liaodong. Don't worry, one person gave them 50,000 guan. They are definitely willing to help General Ji Yu. Giving 100,000 guan is too much, giving them 50,000 is enough."

Li Liang heard the greed in Gao Rong's words and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then the 300,000 generals will get 200,000, but in fact, the two families will get 100,000."

“Yes, that’s it.”

"Money is just a small matter, but it is important to be done well. As long as things can be done well, nothing is the only money or food?" Li Liang said seriously.

Gao Rong slapped his chest and said loudly: "Sir, don't worry, this matter is all for me, and the matter between the Chessou and Fu'an Ministry will never be wrong. Mr. return first. When General Ji Yu attacks, I, Chessou and Fu'an Ministry, will definitely fight back. But seeing that the fire is a roar, the soldiers and horse envoys will respond with their troops."

Li Liang quietly returned with satisfaction while the night was falling and returned to Li Guan.

Seeing that the matter was completed, Li Guan took advantage of the night to attack the three routes. On the first route, General Wang Chong led the Qinglang Camp and the eight divisions of Dengzhou to approach the Qingni City. On the second route, Lin Wu led the Iron Gun Camp and Megan Julie led the Ryutao Camp, and Li Xu led the Zhenhai Camp and three thousand soldiers to the Chishan Valley outside the city. Li Guan led the Iron Bibi Camp, the Feiying Camp and the Wudu 1,000 cavalry, a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the horses wrapped around their hooves and walked quietly, heading directly to the road between Duli Town and Qingni City and Chishan Valley.

Under the guidance of the scouts of Li Wei's army, Li Guan quietly selected a dangerous place to ambush. Here, two mountains are sandwiched together, and a small path that cannot be rode in parallel between two people is an excellent place for ambushing.
