    "Intelligence from the Military Intelligence Department has verified that Li Jing, Luo Yi, and Li Jing have led a long-distance attack on Liaodong City with 30,000 light cavalry." Pei Zeng, the Military Intelligence Department of the Overwatch Council, reported important military information.  All the generals present were surprised by this news.  Someone asked, "What is the specific situation?" "The specific situation is that Li Jing ignored His Majesty's military orders and left Yuguan without authorization. He achieved a great victory in Bailang City a few days ago and annihilated about 20,000 captured Goguryeo soldiers and horses. Then Li Jing asked Yingzhou to inspect  Fang Qiao, the governor of the school, led 20,000 infantry to stay in Bailang City. He, Luo Yi, the captain of Yingzhou, and Li Jing, the general, quickly sent troops to the southeastern end of Bailangshui and built a camp four hundred miles away from Yuguan and two hundred miles away from Yingzhou.  Then, just a few days ago, Li Jing heard that the imperial court had ordered Deputy Privy Councilor Han Senshou to serve as the marching marshal of Liaodong Road and lead his troops to reinforce him.  When there were only 8,000 old and weak defenders in Liaodong City, and Liaodong City was extremely empty, he immediately decided to lead his army to attack Liaodong City, which was four hundred miles away. Now, Li Jing, Luo Yi, and Li Jing led 30,000 light cavalry towards Liaodong City.  Marching. At present, Pingzhou Commander Zhang Xutuo and Jizhou Commander Jia Wuben led 30,000 people to stay at Songshan Camp by the Bailang River. " Yi Feng sat there in silence, feeling really sorry in his heart.  Li Jing was already a little scared.  This Li Jing usually looks like a very stable person, but when he leads the troops to fight, he immediately seems to be a completely different person. He is a complete speculator. His favorite thing is to use all kinds of strange things and risks, and he is not willing to take good risks at all.  Use troops prudently.  Without waiting for the court to prepare, he sent troops out of Yuguan in advance and fought the battle of White Wolf City. Yi Feng could barely accept it. After all, the strength of both sides in this battle was still equal.  But now he has already sent troops.  Li Jing still couldn't wait any longer. First he drove a long distance to block Gao Yuan's retreat, and now he went directly to attack Liaodong City, an important fortress on the Liao River in Goguryeo, eight hundred miles away from the Sui army's border pass. This madness and boldness of Yi Feng were gone.  I can't stand it anymore.  Yifeng is not a general now, but an emperor.  It is really difficult to accept this constant gambling behavior.  Fighting should be based on comprehensive strength. After all-round preparation, many calculations are made, and finally the advantage is gathered to defeat the opponent.  Rather than taking risks again and again, even if you win, the rewards will be considerable.  But who can guarantee that gambling will always win?  And once you lose, the consequences will definitely be disastrous.  Yi Feng would rather win a small victory, as long as he ensures that he can win all the time, then the small wins in the end can add up to a big victory.  And this kind of gamble may win at first.  But if you lose one bet, you may lose all the previous wins.  Yi Feng really doesn't like this kind of uncontrolled gambling.  Then Li Jing has already cast the dice. What Yi Feng can do is to try to increase the chance of winning this gamble and make emergency preparations so that if he loses, the consequences will not be too disastrous.  In my heart.  Yi Feng was not optimistic about Li Jing's behavior this time because Liaodong City was quite famous in history.  Yang Guang conquered Liaodong several times, and each time hundreds of thousands of troops besieged Liaodong City.  But they couldn't capture it even once, which shows how dangerous this city is.  Later, Li Shimin personally conquered Liaodong, and finally used a fire attack strategy to capture Liaodong City. However, at that time, Goguryeo had actually been fighting the Sui Dynasty's overthrow of the country for more than ten years.  The national strength is no longer as strong as it was when it was fighting against Yang Guang.  But now, the Goguryeo people are still at their strongest.  Liaodong City has never suffered a war.  Li Jing just ignored the tens of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers and horses in western Liaoning, and killed them all at the gate of Liaodong city.  He even rode a light horse for a long distance without any siege equipment or logistical supplies. How was he going to capture Liaodong City? Even if there were only 8,000 old and weak people in the city, Liaodong City still had two internal and external cities, and there were  A large reserve of grain, grass and equipment, plus a population of tens of thousands.  In addition, there are many city fortresses around Liaodong City, and the Goguryeo people can come for reinforcements at any time.  If Li Jing's 30,000 troops fail to seize the city in a sudden attack, it is very likely that they will leave and come back.  If Li Jing loses, the 30,000 people in Songshan will be isolated and helpless, and a vicious cycle will most likely occur, and the situation in western Liaoning may collapse again.  "Can we issue an order to recover Li Jing?" "It's too late. Even if the flying pigeon delivers the message, we can only reach Yuguan as far as Yuguan. However, Yuguan is four hundred miles away from Songshan, not to mention that Li Jing has already left Songguan.  Our messenger received the imperial decree at Yuguan and rushed to Songshan. It was too late. By the time they arrived, Li Jing might have already arrived at Liaodong City. Moreover, Li Jing had already ignored the decree and sent troops without permission.  It¡¯s even more impossible for them to withdraw their troops with just one decree.¡± Pei Zeng said.  "Li Jing is a fool. He must be removed from his post and dealt with strictly." He Ruobi took the opportunity to intervene with Li Jing.  "Li Jing must be dealt with, but not now. Now, let's discuss how to remedy it." Yi Feng shook his head and said. Guys like Li Jing who ignore military orders must be punished. Yi Feng cannot raise a child like him.  Ignore the emperor's orders and military orders, otherwise, other generals will follow suit in the future.?, then there is no such thing as military discipline and law. The military cannot tolerate any negligence, otherwise Yi Feng would not have to create a Privy Council and Sanya.  "Where is Han Sengshou?" Pei Zeng whispered, "Privy Envoy Han has just entered Hebei." "The reinforcements sent by the imperial court cannot help Li Jing for the time being." Yi Feng sighed lightly.  The imperial court was very passive because of Li Jing's unauthorized sending of troops before. It mobilized 100,000 troops in advance and asked Han Sengshou to lead the reinforcements in western Liaoning.  But this army can't fly, no matter how fast it is, it will take time, especially the imperial military system. Those senior generals usually stay in the capital, and the local armies are stationed in various places with thousands of troops.  In case of war, the Privy Council mobilizes troops and the emperor selects generals. Soldiers and horses from all walks of life gather to form a combat group, which is led by the general appointed by the emperor to fight.  Whether it is gathering troops and horses, or generals are in place, it takes time.  This army simply cannot keep up with Li Jing's pace.  Yi Feng knocked on the table, "From now on, don't worry about Li Jing. We will never be able to keep up with his pace. In this case, let's do our job well. The Privy Council immediately drafted a battle plan to kill Li Jing.  These troops are excluded from consideration for now. What we need to consider now is not whether Li Jing can take Liaodong City, nor whether he can hold Songshan Camp and block Gao Yuan's retreat. What we need to consider now is how to quickly.  To gather troops and horses, the most important thing is to first enter Yuguan and ensure that Yuguan will not be lost no matter what, and then send troops to Bailang City to stabilize Bailang City, then there will be a nail in western Liaoning.  , an advance base, and then send troops to attack Liucheng in Yingzhou. In this way, it would be best if Li Jing succeeds. Han Sengshou's troops can bite Gao Yuan's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses across the river, and then they will be on both sides of Songshan Camp.  Attack them from a flank and destroy them. If Li Jing is unable to capture Liaodong City, or even these 30,000 men are wiped out, or even worse, the Songshan Camp is defeated by Gao Yuan's returning army, then we can not be affected and take Yingzhou first.  Recover and finally drive Goguryeo back to the east of the Liao River. To reinforce the various units that are now deep in western Liaoning, we must ensure that nothing happens to our second army. According to this core, you should immediately draw up a battle plan and pass it to Han Shouseng.  Implement accordingly." After saying that, Yi Feng was not in the mood to continue watching these generals discuss the battle plan.  He returned directly to the official position and returned to the Manna Hall. Yi Feng went to the bathroom. There was hot water all day long. Yi Feng took off his clothes and walked into the hot water pool. He soaked himself in the hot water and felt warm.  The fatigue of the whole person was immediately relieved a lot.  Leaning by the pool, you feel the heat in the water constantly seeping into your body, the water vapor surrounding you, and a faint floral fragrance floating in the air.  Without Yi Feng's call, no one dared to come forward to disturb him. They stood far away, keeping their composure, not daring to say a word, for fear of disturbing the young emperor's rest.  After a long time, Wang Hai¡¯s voice rang from the side.  "Your Majesty!" Yi Feng opened his eyes, "What's the matter?" "Urgent report from Longyou! The Turkic Dadou Khan and Tuguhun Murong Shiyun Khan have invaded Hexi and are now besieging Guazhou." There was a crash, and Yi Feng suddenly  He sat upright in the water and took the military intelligence report from Wang Hai's hand.  "Pei Shiju just returned from the Western Regions. Didn't he say that Datou was seeking peace? Datou also sent thousands of horses and tens of thousands of sheep as gifts. Now in the blink of an eye, Datou has joined forces with Shiyun to join the invaders.  "The Overwatch Council didn't find any signs before?" Yi Feng was angry, everything was really going wrong.  The war in western Liaoning did not start according to his plan, and it was a chaotic situation.  Here, the Turks and Tuyuhun came to kill them again. They were really not afraid of the excitement.  "Immediately forward this military information to the Privy Council and let them discuss countermeasures." Yi Feng threw the piece of military information to Wang Hai and lay back in the pool.  Datou is probably stubborn and wants to struggle again, but even if he joins forces with Tuyuhun, there is nothing to worry about.  Guazhou is still more than three thousand miles away from Chang'an. What's more, Datou has just experienced the disastrous defeat in Lingzhou, and now he has some real strength and dares to make a noise.  Yi Feng estimated that Datou wanted to show his strength to the Sui Dynasty at most, but in the end he wanted to fight to promote peace.  But Datou definitely doesn't know Yi Feng's character. Yi Feng is absolutely a person who doesn't take soft and hard. If he plays this trick, he is looking for death.  Yi Feng originally planned to wait until next autumn for another northern expedition, but now that Datou has sent an invitation in advance, Yi Feng has to advance this plan.  (To be continued)
