After Kongshan and Yuanxiao saw Li Chongjiu's army, they were extremely comfortable at the moment. They were worried that with Li Chongjiu's power, the offensive on Goguryeo's eastern front would not be enough to restrain Goguryeo. You should know that of course, Emperor Yang of Sui sent dozens or millions of troops to attack the city in three battles, but they still did not capture it.

Anyway, they are just taking the dead horse as a living horse. With the mentality of giving it a try, they ask Li Chongjiu to send troops. But now seeing Li Chongjiu's elite soldiers, their confidence has increased a lot.

So Kongshan and four Hualangs followed Li Chongjiu's army to Liaodong to fight in the east. Li Chongjiu's army headed north from Jixian County, and swaggered along the way through Yuyang County on Gaokai Road.

As soon as Li Chongjiu's army arrived, Yuyang County suddenly became a panic. Gao Kaidao thought that Li Chongjiu was sending troops to attack him, and immediately ordered all the troops to shrink back to Wuzhong County to defend the city.

In order to trap Li Chongjiu in winter, Gao Kaidao also gathered all the people in the four fields into Wuzhong City. After that, the wells in the wild were filled with land, and all the houses in the folk were burned down. Even the winter wheat that had not yet been harvested in the fields was lifted up.

This really shows the true nature of Gao Kaidao's hero. He would rather cut off his arm than leave a single straw and a tile for Li Chongjiu, and implement a thorough strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country.

Afterwards, Gao Kaidao asked Luo Yi for help and ordered the entire army to prepare for war. He put on his armor and patrolled the city for three days, but found that Li Chongjiu's soldiers did not even see any of them, and even the scout cavalry sent to spy on them.

Gao Kaidao repeatedly reminded himself to be patient and calm, and waited for five days. After sending cavalry to investigate, he realized that Li Chongjiu's army had already gone far.

After Li Chongjiu passed through Yuyang County, he walked on the Bailangshui Ancient Road to western Liaoning. After resting in Liucheng for a day, he met with Qi's army of 20,000.

Li Chongjiu asked Etuo, Ying Hefu, and Yan Yelie to lead 5,000 Xi clan cavalry to go first, while he and Yuchi Gong and Chen Ke led the county soldiers, as well as the Wansheng army, and the Tuqi Group to fight in the center, while the Dingling clan general Cui Xu and the Mohe general Tudiji, they led 5,000 Dingling Mohe soldiers to push the Jigong bus behind.

Kongshan and Yuanxiao looked at Li Chongjiu's lineup and couldn't help but be amazed. The heavy armored cavalry of Marin was brave and powerful, looking like a mountain. The county soldiers and Han soldiers were well equipped, and the grassland cavalry were elite and strong. As for the soldiers of Ding Ling, they were very surprised. They were holding local spears, dressed in rags and messy hair, and they looked like beggars.

Kongshan. Yuanxiao couldn't help but be amazed that there were really all kinds of people under Li Chongjiu's command.

After resting in Liucheng, Li Chongjiu led an army of 20,000 slowly and passed Yiwulu Mountain again on the way.

Li Chongjiu is now the governor of Youzhou. Although it is a false festival, it is actually almost the same. So when you pass by this Youzhou Town Mountain, of course, you must go to the door to worship yourself.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu led all the generals to prepare the ceremony of Tailao, and came to the temple in Beizhen, the foot of the mountain to worship this mountain.

When the temple Zhu Zhi Li Chongjiu's army arrived, he immediately came out from afar.

The temple was worshipped by Li Chongjiu before, and he was very comfortable now. He also rebuilt the Beizhen Temple, and built the steps up the mountain with good bluestone, and spread them step by step onto the mountain. He also built a stone archway and the mountain gate in front of the mountain.

When the temple Zhu learned that Li Chongjiu was coming, he personally welcomed him and said loudly: "I am grateful to Mr. Shanggu to be the governor of Youzhou. The villain was very happy after hearing this. He prayed for Mr. Shanggu in the temple every day."

As soon as these words were spoken, the generals under Li Chongjiu showed disdain, obviously thinking that the flattery was too explicit.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said immediately: "I'm determined. I came here at this time and won a great victory in Goguryeo. Now I am the governor of Youzhou. It is said that it is all the achievements of all the generals, and the soldiers dare to die to sacrifice their lives. I came to this temple to thank the gods, which can be regarded as a thank you for your protection in Youzhou."

The temple Zhu was very happy to hear it now, and immediately put several high hats on Li Chongjiu.

So Li Chongjiu led the generals to climb the mountain along the newly renovated stone steps. The stone steps and temples were obviously cleaned up. Li Chongjiu climbed the mountain and then came to the dressing hall in front of the mountain, repaired the face, changed into a commoner, and then climbed the mountain. He came to a hall where the horse god was worshipped.

Li Chongjiu came here with everyone, and he prayed for the prosperity of horse politics. Shepherding horses is the greatest cause on the grassland, so both Li Chongjiu and Fan Zong seemed very pious to worship at this moment.

Later, Li Chongjiu came to the main hall again. The main hall was built by Emperor Wen of Sui at that time. It was five rooms wide and three rooms deep. It was a large wooden frame structure with a hip-mounted mountain style. Although it was disrepaired, it was well preserved.

Li Chongjiu immediately led the generals to worship the mountain god here. After finishing, he went into the pavilion to drink a bowl of butterfly with the generals before going down the mountain.

Li Chongjiu immediately bought another 100,000 yuan and asked the temple to wish you a happy life to build the temple. The temple is worthy of being a person who is jealous of money, and he is grateful for it now.

After leaving Yiwulu Mountain, Li Chongjiu's army arrived in Tongding Town, Liaodong County for the final rest. After defeating Gaimu City last year, Goguryeo sent troops across the Liaohe River several times to raid Tongding Town, trying to pull out Li Chongjiu's stronghold, but the defenders all defeated the enemy.

Therefore, Li Chongjiu's army could foster their strength here and cross the Liao River.

Before crossing the Liao River, Kongshan and Yuanxiao came to Li Chongjiu's camp and said that the 20,000 army went on an expedition this time, with excellent equipment and strong military appearance. It seemed that the elite troops of the Sui army in Liaodong were not as strong as those in the first expedition.

However, the two changed their subjects and reminded Li Chongjiu with a worried look on his face, saying that it seemed that they didn't bring much food and grass to the expropriation this time.

Li Chongjiu answered truthfully, after not leaving Tongding Town, each of the entire army only brought dry food for ten days. Yuan Xiao was shocked and quickly reminded Li Chongjiu that the 300,000 elite government troops who went to Liaodong were not enough to carry enough food and grass, and finally led to a great defeat, with less than 3,000 people returning to their hometown. As the saying goes, the previous car can be seen, and Li Chongjiu cannot repeat the same mistake.

After hearing this, the generals under Li Chongjiu were embarrassed. There was not much grain reserve in the army, let alone an expedition. This time, the army was stationed in Tongding Town, and had already taken most of the grain stored in the town within one day.

Li Chongjiu replied: "Sun Tzu's art of war says that those who are good at using war will no longer be registered and their food will last for less than three years. They will be used for the country, and because the food is from the enemy, the army can eat enough."

The two of Kongshan and Yuanxiao were filled with mist.

Li Chongjiu immediately said: "In short, it means eating from the enemy."

At Kongshan, Yuan Xiao suddenly realized, convinced, and said, "I will be proud of you!"

At that moment, Li Chongjiu's army crossed the Liao River through the boat bridge. The vanguard had just crossed the Liao River, and the beacon towers built along the Liao River were burning smoke to warn.

Suddenly, it was from the bank of the Liaoshui River to the Liaodong City, and then from the Liaodong City to the domestic city, Fuyu City, and finally arrived at the Pyongyang City, the capital of Goguryeo. The war was fired all the way across the country, and the people of Goguryeo and soldiers were all shocked. At this time, after Emperor Yang of Sui's three expeditions to Liaodong, the Han army once again stepped across the Liao River.

After crossing the Liao River, Li Chongjiu ordered Ying to thank Fu, Ertuo, and Yan Yelie to lead five thousand light cavalry to rob the fourth realm of Goguryeo. Li Chongjiu led the infantry and the heavy cavalry slowly approached Baiyan City.

Even though they were reminded by the beacon, Li Chongjiu's grassland cavalry was faster. He was engaged in bandits on the grassland all year round, and the grass valley cavalry was already a professional and efficient robbery gang. The Goguryeo Valley people had just started burying food, or wanted to hiding in the mountains, but before they even went out, they were blocked by the gangs. All the food was confiscated, and the people were also robbed several times.

Within three days, Li Chongjiu's cavalry had snatched back 5,000 stones of grains such as bamboo beans, millet, wheat, and corn for Li Chongjiu, 3,000 bundles of hay, and more than 10,000 people, and took them to the city of Baiyan City.

At this time, Li Chongjiu's infantry army happened to arrive at Baiyan City. After obtaining military rations, Li Chongjiu immediately ordered the soldiers of the three armies to have a full meal. In the past few days, in order to save food and fodder, Li Chongjiu's soldiers only had two meals a day and marched for a long distance, which was very hard.

But now the plunder of food and grass has arrived. When the three armies get food, they all shout long live together. The soldiers and the war horses are all full. They are resting at the city for a night, and the captive Goguryeo people drove to build siege equipment overnight, preparing to attack the city in the future.

Baiyan City is a branch of the Liaodong City, a strong city in Goguryeo. It was built to protect Liaodong City. In addition to Baiyan City, there are more than a dozen small cities. However, these small cities are not as strong as Baiyan City.

The city is just like the characteristics of Goguryeo City, which is built with stone pieces. The circumference of the city is three miles long, which is considered a medium-sized city.

Li Chongjiu and his generals knew that they could not find anything in the wilderness of Goguryeo. Goguryeo is a hereditary system of tribal aristocrats, so the gap between the rich and the poor is very large. If they really want food, they must be able to break the city and seize it from the granary in the city.

Of course, there must be more food stocks in Liaodong City, but the 300,000 Sui army attacked Liaodong City for three months, and Li Chongjiu also knew how much strength he had to eat and how much food he wanted, so he would not attack Liaodong City for the time being.

This time, Li Chongjiu heard that the Goguryeo people all placed heavy troops on the southern front and were fighting with Silla. Even the eastern Lord Yuan Gaisuwen led his army south, so the Liaodong side of Goguryeo was also empty, and there was not enough troops in Baiyan City.

Therefore, when Li Chongjiu came to attack the city this time, he felt that he was still able to find opportunities.

The next day, the Cangtou Army surrounded Baiyan City on three sides. The lord of Baiyan City on the top of the city talked loudly. Seeing that the Han army was in great power under the city, he was shocked.

Gao Tan pointed to the Han army under the city and said to the left and right: "Look at the infantry of this thief under the city, the entire army was covered with armor. Where did this come from? Didn't it mean that the government troops of the Great Sui Dynasty were all killed by Lord Yizhi?"

A subordinate also said in shock: "I heard that when Li thief attacked Gaimu City last year, there were not so many soldiers. It seems that he really doesn't understand today."

Seeing that the city lord was depressed, one of the generals in the city couldn't help but think that even the city lord was like this. How could he defend the city? He said: "Don't worry, the Han army is well-equipped, but they are all killed. Otherwise, the Han army would not have been able to capture a Liaodong city, look at it."
