Chapter 595

(Thanks to you, Tuo Youn and Yu Meng, for your support, thank you!

The east of Chengshan Mountain City and the west of Chengshan City are only fifty miles away from Jili Mountain City..

In the north of Jili City, it is the southern gateway to Jian'an Prefecture. It guards the two mountain passes of Goryeo Mountain and Laomao Mountain from Jili Prefecture to Jian'an Prefecture. Two mountain cities, one east and one west, guard this mountain pass. On the left is Goryeo Mountain, and on the right is Laomao Mountain. Laomao Mountain is the birthplace of Fudu River in the east and Laosha River in the west. The Fudu River originates from Laomao Mountain, and then passes through the south side of Chengshan Mountain City, becoming the southwest boundary between Jili Prefecture and Jian'an Prefecture, and finally injects into the Bohai Sea.

This is a rare twin city. Both mountain cities are not small, each with a circumference of five miles. It was built in Goguryeo. The two cities are only two miles apart.

However, as the gateway between Jilizhou and Jian'anzhou, it has always been a place where Jilizhou is heavily guarded. The original two mountain cities once had more than 50,000 people, and there were more than 30,000 people in the mountain city alone.

However, the last time the Khitan captured these two mountain cities, most of the people in the city were taken away when they left. After the Khitan left, many people in the two cities returned, but less than ten thousand people remained in the city.

Gao Zhaokang climbed to the top of the city and looked into the distance.

But I saw the hills rising and falling, the mountains were vast and desolate.

The south side of the river is Fudu River, and behind it is Li Jing's army.

The summer is long, and the sun is shining on the body, making people feel irritated.

The former chief of Jili Prefecture, Gao Bing, stood behind Gao Zhaokang, and looked at the young master, with a slightly thin face full of worry.

Gao Bing is now a marching Sima of the Korean army. Although he was still a retainer of the Gao family, he was now holding Li Jing's bowl. After bidding on the Tang army, Gao Bing had no objection. On the contrary, he felt relieved. In this territory of Liaodong, the Goguryeo people were the old masters, but the Tang Dynasty first came and then the Bohai Sea. Now the Bohai Sea and the Tang Dynasty are weak, but the Khitans have risen again. The Khitans became stronger, and the Tang general Li Jing came to Liaodong again. This is really a wolf in front and a tiger behind. The Goguryeo people have no hope.

Either they would surrender to the Khitan or the Tang army.

Gao Bing was willing to join the Tang army. After all, although the Khitan fought with Tang for so many years, there were actually more victory than defeat. But if the more victory or defeat, the last one was the Khitan. The Tang army was like a tiger, and the Khitan could be considered a wolf at most. Even if the wolf added a few more wounds to the tiger, it was difficult to kill. The tiger would be defeated as long as the tiger caught the wolf once. Moreover, the Tang army was still Li Jing who entered Liao. This was not just a general appointed by the court, but a vassal state with heavy troops in hand and extremely powerful.

However, it is obvious that although Li Jing gave a generous condition after surrender, Li Jing's subordinates were not so stupid.

When he went up the mountain to become a bandit, he had to trade a letter of fame. When he surrendered to Li Jing, he also had to accept a letter of fame.

"Young Master!"

"Um?"

Gao Bing had been holding it in for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Young Master has really figured it out in his heart. Are you willing to laugh with Li Jing to get rid of his grudges?"

Gao Zhaokang's expression looked, "Did you say I should just let it go?"

"At the moment you can't twist your thighs, only those who know the current affairs will be heroes!" Gao Bing sighed.

Gao Zhaokang turned around, with pain on his face, "I know, if I could, I would have wanted to tear Li Jing apart, but I didn't have a choice, right?"

"Young Master thinks this way. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Now we are completely held in Li Jing's hand, so we must not act rashly. You might as well just be silly and wait for the opportunity. Now that the young master has become the leader of the Korean army, he must seize this opportunity. As long as we can make contributions and always hold our troops and accumulate slowly, there will always be a chance." Gao Bing advised patiently.

"But I feel unwilling to accept that Li Jing took my wife, but I still have to work hard for him. Thinking about it, I can't eat or sleep, and I feel uncomfortable in my heart."

"You have to eat even if you can't eat, and you have to sleep even if you can't sleep. Only by enduring humiliation can you achieve great things, which is also a test. Think about the military saint Han Xin, who was also humiliated by the crotch back then."

Gao Bing said so clearly, how could he not understand Gao Zhaokang's intelligence? In fact, he had known these principles for a long time, but he felt uncomfortable. At this time, he talked with Gao Bing for a while and felt much more comfortable.

"Do you think Yelu Dachi will be fooled?" Gao Zhaokang no longer mentioned the troublesome thing. Li Jing is indeed amazing. He actually came up with such a plan. The most important thing about this plan is that he is. I guess no one would have thought that Li Jing would actually believe him. But who can understand the difficulties he had to do so.

"Yelu Dala and Yelu Dachi are not very smart people. Li Jing's plan is very tricky. As long as Yelu Dachi is greedy for us, he will be deceived."

Gao Zhaokang punched the wall with a heavy punch, "Maybe I should really join the Khitans and lead them back to Jilizhou to give Li Jing a good look!"

"Young Master!" Gao Bing shouted.

Gao Zhaokang grabbed his hair fiercely, "I know, I know what to do is right, but there is always a fire in his heart."

A cavalry ran into the city, and the knight ran up to the top of the city and reported loudly.

"Reported that Yelu Dachi led 6,000 troops and horses to ten miles away!"

Finally came, Gao Zhaokang's heart was full of complexity. Seeing that everything was as Li Jing had planned, he felt very uncomfortable.

"Please issue an order for yourselves!" Gao Bing stood beside him and said loudly.

"I know what to do, don't worry!" Gao Zhaokang nodded to Gao Bing, and then ordered loudly.

Half an hour later, Gao Zhaokang brought more than 10,000 old and weak people from the two cities to the entrance of the valley below the city to greet him, and then asked the city gate above the city, and let the 1,000 soldiers and horses abandon all their weapons and armor on both sides of the road.

After a while, smoke and dust rose in the north, and a Khitan light cavalry rushed to the front. The horse's knights were bare on their heads, leaving only a small amount of hair on their temples or foreheads to decorate them. Some kept a row of short hair on their foreheads; some were spreading their hair in their ears, and some trimmed and sorted the left and right strands of hair into various shapes, and then slung down to their shoulders. These knights wore long robes with left lapels, round necklines, narrow sleeves, trousers were placed inside their boots, and leather straps were tied around their waists.

Gao Zhaokang rushed forward and attended the ceremony at the Khitan knights, and signed up and said: "Gao Zhaokang, the eldest son of the governor of Gao in Xiajili Prefecture, is here to welcome you here at the order of his father."

Seeing this at the foot of the mountain, the Khitan knights nodded, and one of the great men asked Gao Zhaokang to follow him to see Yelu Dachi.

Gao Zhaokang and the knights rushed north for several miles and saw Yelu Dachi resting in the ground at the foot of a mountain. The Khitans were very careful and did not go to Chengshan Mountain City immediately. Instead, they stopped here and sent a small group of people to Chengshan Mountain City. It can be seen that Yelu Dachi was not a brainless person.

Yelu Dachi is about forty years old, with big arms and round waist and bare head. He only has two strands of hair on his ears, forming two small braids. On his left ear, there is a golden ring as big as a bracelet. In the hot weather, he is wearing a golden lacquer Qilin Mountain Wenbao armor with dazzling golden light. Gao Zhaokang felt very familiar at a glance. When Li Jing said that when he entered Jili City to surrender, the armor he wore was like this.

Yelu Deguang stared at the bull's eyes and looked at Gao Zhaokang condescendingly on his horse. However, the two of them fought several times in Jili City during the offensive and defense, but they were old acquaintances.

"Is General Gao really trying to surrender to my Khitan?"

Gao Zhaokang said: "How dare you have a false alarm? The gates of Shuangcheng are wide open. The people and soldiers in the city have been greeted by the foot of the mountain, and the soldiers have also removed their armor and abandoned their weapons."

"Why please surrender?"

"The Tang army went north with a huge momentum, and it was difficult to stop Jilizhou. It was difficult to maintain its own food and supplies. After thinking about it, it was only possible to join your subordinates." Gao Zhaokang said with a despicable expression.

"Hahaha!" Yelu Dachi laughed proudly. He almost swallowed Jilizhou last year, but in the end he was worried about Li Jing and had to withdraw. Unexpectedly, the Goguryeo people still came to their doors by themselves. Although there are actually not a few pieces of meat left in Jilizhou at present, it is still of great significance to accept their surrender. At least, after obtaining Jilizhou, he can use Jilizhou and Goguryeo to resist the Tang army and gain more time for the Lianla tribe. "General Gao's choice is good, I believe you won't regret it."

After saying that, he jumped off his horse, stretched out his big hand and patted Gao Zhaokang's shoulder a few times, "Li Jingqiang stole your wife, I have heard about this. The hatred of snatching his wife. As long as he is a man, he has to stay with Li Jing. If it were me, he would have to chop his chicken with a knife and feed his dog. Don't worry, since you have returned to the team, I am Khitan, then we will help you snatch the Bohai Princess's wife back."

Gao Zhaokang's face was blue and purple when he didn't open the pot, which was extremely ugly. However, in Yelu Dachi's eyes, he thought it was poking his sore spot, which aroused his hatred for Li Jing.

Yelu Dachi no longer had any doubts and believed in the surrender of Gao's family, so he led his troops to the surrender and accepted the mountain city.

The soldiers under the mountain city brought old and weak to greet each other. The thousand defenders abandoned their armor and weapons next to the road. Seeing this, Yelu Dachi believed it and completely relaxed his guards. The troops under the governor's office were divided into two units, and each of them immediately entered the east and west cities.

The Goguryeo soldiers were arranged by Yelu Dachi to camp at the foot of the mountain, but the people were agreed to return to the two cities.

After entering the two cities, Yelu Dachi was very polite and immediately sealed the treasures and other treasures in the two cities. Gao Zhaokang did not dare to complain, but instead came to work with the officials and big families in the two cities with wine and meat.

The six thousand soldiers and horses brought by Yelu Dachi, two thousand soldiers and four thousand auxiliary soldiers, were too lazy to send the auxiliary soldiers to attack Caogu, and happily drank in the city.

"Where is the Tang army now?" Yelu Dachi was still worried about Jilishan City. When he saw his subordinates reported on the gold, silk, money and food that he had collected in the treasury, he asked Gao Zhaokang.

Gao Zhaokang personally poured wine for Yelu Dachi and smiled, "General, please rest assured. The Tang army vanguard has just captured Langu Mountain City, and is still there for a while, and it is still a hundred miles away from Jili Mountain City. It is estimated that there will be at least three days to reach Jili City. Tonight, the general and his subordinates will eat and drink with peace of mind, and then have a good rest for a night. Depart tomorrow morning, and only fifty miles to Jili Mountain City. The cavalry can arrive in one day, and just arrive at Jili City for dinner. Then there is still two days to wait for the Tang army to arrive. At that time, it is just waiting for the effort to give the Tang army a head-on attack!"
