    Thanks to Huimengshengsheng, Zuixiaodao, and pp1976 for their support, thank you!  With the full support of Yi Feng, the 'bird thief' Li Keshi has initially established a Fetion network, setting up a first-level pigeon station centered on Wujing, and then using these five pigeon stations as the backbone, the network has been rolled out.  Drive out.  ¡û, important military intelligence, local disasters, banditry and other important news will be transmitted to the state capital as soon as possible, and then transmitted back to the nearby capital, and finally forwarded to the capital court.  Similarly, when the imperial court has some important orders to be conveyed to local places, they will be issued through this fast Fetion network.  But even with the revolutionary Fetion Network, it still takes a lot of time to get from Chang'an in Guanzhong to Liaodong City on the east bank of the Liao River.  The news had to be sent to Luoyang through the pigeon station in Xijing, then forwarded from Luoyang to Youzhou, and then sent from Youzhou to Yuguan.  After arriving at Yuguan, the Feixin network reached its limit. Outside the pass, Liaoxi and Liaodong had to rely on traditional manpower.  The best messengers were sent from Yuguan to ride to western Liaoning. Within the territory of western Liaoning, there were some small military stations left by Li Jing's troops along the way. They could change men and horses. But after arriving at Songshan Camp, four hundred miles further east, there were  There are no such supply depots anymore, and there are even Goguryeo castles and villages around them, so you have to be careful of being ambushed at all times.  From Xijing to Liaodong City, there is a distance of 3,500 miles. Even if there are flying pigeons flying 2,700 miles within the pass, the last 800 miles will still have to be run by horses.  Yi Feng issued the latest order to Li Jing, but the order was still delayed for three days.  In addition, it also took three days for the news from Liaodong City to be transmitted back to Daxing. This made it impossible for Li Jing to receive the latest imperial edict from Yi Feng.  He was in a very different position than he was six days ago.  Six days can change a lot.  Six days ago.  Li Jing took the risk and made a long-distance attack, taking advantage of its suddenness.  They defrauded Liaodong City and captured the east gate of Goguryeo without any blood.  Then, Li Jing was not satisfied. He was born with an adventurous temperament. When it comes to military use, he likes to use strange things and dangers. This is very different from his usual personality. Li Jing is usually a very steady and cautious person.  .  But once he leads the troops into battle, he will immediately change into a gambler, a skilled and bold gambler.  He has never lost a bet so far, which makes him even more obsessed with this method.  After taking Liaodong City, Li Jing refused to feel at ease, and he immediately set his sights on the next target.  Li Jing¡¯s new target is the new city to the north of Liaodong City. The new city is actually the Xuantu County established in the Han Dynasty, and its seat is today¡¯s Fushun.  Xincheng dates from the Western Jin Dynasty.  The new city built by Goguryeo on Gaoer Mountain in Fushun was named Xincheng.  Since its establishment, this city has been an important military town for Goguryeo in the central area on the east bank of the Liao River, guarding each other with Liaodong City.  In 339 AD, Murong Huang attacked the Goguryeo soldiers.  To Xincheng, I once said, Xincheng.  The town in the western border of Goryeo is the most critical.  If we don't plan first, we may not be able to conquer Yucheng.  In fact, this is also true.  In the later Tang Dynasty's battle against Goguryeo, the new city was destroyed and the north bank of the Yalu River was leveled.  Liaodong City guards the Liaohe River, while the New City guards the Xiaoliao River, which later became the main traffic artery on the north bank of the Hunhe River. The geographical location is very important.  This city was built on Gaoer Mountain. The highest point on the hillside is about fifty feet above sea level. The entire mountain city consists of three small ring-shaped cities: East City, West City, South Acropolis, North Acropolis and the southeast corner. It forms an organic union.  A three-dimensional defense system.  The city wall is eight miles in circumference, two miles long from east to west, and nearly two miles wide from north to south. It has three gates in the north, east and south. The mountain city has a dangerous terrain and is located high up.  After successfully capturing Liaodong City, Li Jing was no longer in a dangerous situation alone, but instead became a sharp sword thrust into the enemy's chest.  Li Jing was a little surprised to be able to capture Liaodong City so quickly. Everything went so smoothly, far beyond expectations.  Although he was happy, Li Jing couldn't sit still.  After carefully listening to the surrounding intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Department, Li Jing planned to make another move.  In the former city lord's palace in Liaodong City, Li Jing summoned all the generals in the army.  He was dressed in armor and said straight to the point, "Taking Liaodong City is a great achievement, but it's not time to relax and be happy yet. We should see that now we have an extremely rare, even once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Goguryeo King Gowon  Leading 80,000 troops across the Liao River to seize western Liaoning, they never imagined that we would come over so quickly this time, and they never imagined that we could achieve a great victory in Bailang City in such a short period of time, and then capture it so boldly.  Gao Yuan is still in Liucheng, Yingzhou, six hundred hours away. We can't take Liaodong City and just sit here and wait.  The coast is very empty, and the main force has followed Gao Yuan to western Liaoning. Therefore, we were able to easily capture Liaodong City, and the same is true for many other cities in Liaodong. We can definitely do it again." Li Jing slammed his fist on the table, looking excited.  , he pointed to the new city north of Liaodong City on the map.  "Xincheng, the town on the western border of Goguryeo, is the most critical and has always beenTogether with Liaodong City, they were the two most important cities in the central part of the east bank of the Liao River. Now that we have captured Liaodong City, if we can capture the new city, then the entire central area on the east bank of the Liao River will be ours, Goguryeo.  People no longer have a chance to gain a foothold.  This was originally Xuantu County of the Han Dynasty, but it was also empty at this time. It was only three hundred miles away from Liaodong City. If we immediately sent troops to attack Liaodong City, maybe Xincheng wouldn't know that we had captured Liaodong City.  " Li Jing was also wearing a suit of armor. He looked at Li Jing's finger pointing at Xincheng on the map and frowned slightly. "Three hundred miles, this distance is not short, and we are not sure whether Xincheng already knows that we have captured Liaodong City.  , soldiers take risks, after all, they are taking risks, but they can never happen again.  I feel that now that we have captured Liaodong City, we can just sit in the city and wait for the imperial army to arrive. There is no need to take such risks again.  " Another general, Luo Yi, remained silent. Originally, like Li Jing, he was opposed to radical adventures. But the success of the Liaodong attack greatly changed his attitude. For a strong city like Liaodong City, if both sides really  Each mobilizes their troops and mounts, and then engages in a serious offensive and defensive battle. Then, if there are more than 50,000 people defending Liaodong City, the attackers must have at least 200,000 people. Moreover, with such a one-to-four strength comparison, the defenders will not make any mistakes.  No matter what the fault, it can be defended for a year. It can be said that in a serious siege battle, if you want to take the city, you have to pay for it with human lives, especially in this kind of battle between the two countries, the defender is on the side.  Fighting on the local territory was more advantageous in terms of people and location, and they even had the right time. However, they easily captured this city in a surprise attack. Now that Liaodong was empty, they could try again to capture the new city.  , then with these two important towns relying on each other for support, it will be difficult for the Goguryeo people to take them back even if the whole country comes to fight. "I agree with the Marshal's plan. Gao Yuan is still in Liaoxi, and the new city is empty now. We can try again.  once.  Even if Xincheng discovers us, we will not lose anything.  For the time being, the Goguryeo people are unable to organize a battle for Liaodong City.  Besides, we now have 30,000 people, and we can immediately send troops from Songshan Camp.  "Songshan Camp was originally prepared to block Gao Yuan's retreat, and also to be able to support them in case the attack on Liaodong City was unfavorable. But now that Liaodong City has been captured, and there are food and equipment here, Songshan Camp's 30,000 men and horses will be mobilized  There will be no problem in entering Liaodong City. "I still feel that we should not take risks too blindly and should seek stability and not throw away the good situation in front of us.  "Li Jing insisted. "Today's great situation is not the result of taking risks.  And this is not a risk, this is the right decision based on the situation.  "Luo Yi argued with him. Li Jing did not expect that Luo Yi would stand firmly on his side. He thought for a while and said, "I think this way, I will personally lead 10,000 Qingqi to the new city, and Li Jing and  Luo Yi, you two will lead 20,000 people to stay in Liaodong City. In addition, how about transferring 10,000 horses from Songshan Camp to Liaodong City to strengthen the defense?  ¡± The other generals also agreed with Li Jing. Since Li Jing led everyone out of the border, he first won a great victory in White Wolf City and then captured Liaodong City. This is an indisputable and huge military achievement. The general can lead everyone to make meritorious deeds, and everyone will naturally believe in him.  The decision was made immediately, and then the specific deployment and battle plan were carefully discussed. The next day, Li Jing personally led 10,000 light cavalry, carrying only seven days of dry food, and headed north of the city for 300 miles, which was not far away.  Whether it's far or not, for the hussars carrying two horses, it's only a day and a night's journey. Li Jing led his troops all the way until they reached the south bank of Xiaoliao River, and then ordered to stop advancing. He put the army at a standstill.  Hidden in the valley. "The army should seize the time to rest. The reconnaissance team immediately went out to find out the news. I want to know all the movements within a hundred miles near the new city.  " Li Jing ordered. Along the way, Li Jing did not advance along the Xiaoliao River from west to east. Instead, he went directly to the east and bypassed all the large and small cities and towns in order to catch them by surprise and attack them unprepared. The army rested for a long time, and the scouts came one after another.  They came back so quickly that the north bank of the Xiaoliao River didn't even know that they had crossed the Liaohe River and captured Liaodong City, let alone that they had reached the south bank of the Xiaoliao River. Xincheng and Xuantu City were completely unprepared, and the city gates were wide open.  , common people and merchants came in and out, and there were many people farming and grazing in the fields. When they entered the new city, they reported that the news of the defeat of King Bailangcheng of Goguryeo had reached the new city, but only a few officials and wealthy people knew about it.  It is not clear what happened before and after the war. The new city does not go directly to the Liaohe River like Liaodong City. It is still far away from the Liaohe River. The new city is built on the north bank of the Xiaoliao River.  For the cities along the route such as Huangcheng, Hengshan City, Momi City, Maigu City, and Xuantu City, it can be said that the current calmness of the new city is precisely because there was no warning signal sent back to Huangzhu City. They could not have expected it.The king had just captured the Han people's western Liaoning. When the army was on the west bank of the Liao River, the Han people had already captured their most important Liaodong City on the east bank of the Liao River, and directly went around the new city from behind.  After listening to the reports of each scout, Li Jing carefully inquired about a few details, and then nodded with satisfaction.  "After dark, cross the river and march to the new city!"
