Jiang County, east gate of the city.
The sun was very hot and there was no wind.
"Wow." A crow flapped its wings and landed on the tiles of the city gate tower. It called out and turned its head to comb its feathers.
Liu Changkong, who was responsible for guarding Wanhu soldiers on guard, turned his head and glanced at the crow, then lost interest. He took off the sheepskin water bag from his waist, pointed it at his mouth, and drank many mouthfuls.
"It's so hot."
Liu Changkong resisted and continued to drink water. He reluctantly put the water bag back, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
"But. It's really comfortable. Thanks to the general, we are out on the expedition." Liu Changkong raised his head and looked ahead. Countless farmers are working in the fields.
Countless people, including merchants, travelers, and ordinary people, entered and left the city. In this rear area, there is no atmosphere of war.
"But the general has been trapped in Yangwu City for several months." Liu Changkong soon became sad again, and cursed: "Damn Goguryeo people. They actually united with the Meng Yuan people to bully us."
"When there is a chance, grandpa will be transferred to the command of the captains and go into battle as a soldier."
Guarding Ten Thousand Households is a standing defense force. Without clear orders, operations beyond the jurisdiction are not allowed.
They look unremarkable, but they actually give Wu Nian the confidence to go out and fight. There are 20,000 households in each government, with a total of 60,000 households in defense strength.
Although the quality and combat effectiveness of the army are not as good as those of the field army, the defensive force they form is much better than that of the Liaodong generals.
Now Wu Nian is trapped in Yangwu City, and the land of Sanfu is impregnable, and even Yujiang County is still very comfortable, all because of this defensive strength.
However, Jiang County is comfortable here, but it does not mean that people in the city do not miss Wu Nian or worry about Wu Nian.
After all, Wu Nian is their coach, no. It's the king. If anything happens to the king, the world will fall apart.
Liu Changkong is just an insignificant one among them.
"Drive!!!!!!!" Suddenly. Five fast horses came galloping from the east. The people on the horses seemed to be in a hurry and rushed wildly, causing the people on the road to want to curse, but they quickly shut up.
Everyone saw that these five knights were unusual. The five knights were also unambiguous. When they saw that Jiang County was in front and the crowd was increasing, they opened their voices and shouted: "Great victory. Great victory."
"The general killed the Goguryeo general Pu Mingshan in Yangwucheng, slaughtered ten thousand people, and surrendered ten thousand people. He broke through Shanning City, killed the Goguryeo general Li Huiyuan, and massacred five thousand people."
"Great victory! Great victory!!!"
It's really hot today. People entering and leaving the city were sweating profusely and felt very uncomfortable. But when they heard the loud shouts of these five knights, they were stunned for a moment, and then they felt refreshed as if they had eaten iced watermelon.
"The General is mighty!!!"
"The general is mighty!!!"
"Goguryeo people, you deserve it. You deserve it. Hahahahaha."
"The cities of Yangwu and Shanning have been captured by the general. Guangyang Mansion is not far away. Huanglong Mansion is also close. Recover Liaodong and expel the Tartars."
Most people raised their arms, looked up to the sky and cheered.
Needless to say, the people's support for Wu Nian goes without saying. Just cheer and that's it.
Liu Changkong, who was guarding the city, was stunned, and then he cheered crazily along with the crowd.
"Oooo!!!!"
The news poured into the city like a storm, and then swept the whole city. Regardless of the old and the weak, women and children, or students from Sunzijian and Imperial College, most people from every class of society raised their arms and cheered.
Don’t say anything else.
With the general here, it is the Dinghai Shenzhen. Guangyang Mansion is so close to us, it’s like a neighbor. The general is fighting in Guangyang Mansion, but we live in such a comfortable environment.
This is all the general's favor.
Fu Han General's Mansion, in the front yard.
The five knights swaggered through the city, shouting victory, and arrived at the general's mansion. The officials in the government were all shocked, and then went out to take a look.
Wang Youxiao, Li Yong, Liu Zhixing, Chen Jiagui, Gongsun Sang and other senior officials led the officials to surround the five knights.
The five knights could not bear being surrounded by so many high officials, and their expressions became stiff. Liu Zhixing didn't talk nonsense with them and asked them for official documents.
After verification, Liu Zhixing opened the official document and read it, with a smile on his face.
Of course these five knights were boasting, and the victory must be boasted to the bigger one, the bigger the better. However, they won two battles and captured Shanning City.
This is no bragging.
The prisons of the Goguryeo and Mongolian people were broken, and the generals came out.
And the navy! ! ! !
Liu Zhixing narrowed his eyes after seeing Wu Nian's order. A few months ago, Kyogoku Yuki begged him to use Matsudaira Isshin as the leader of the navy, and Kyogoku Yuki recruited soldiers and supported the army.
A total of five thousand naval warships.
According to Li Tianbao, the troops under Matsudaira Isshin are not new recruits, but veterans with a certain foundation, and now have very good combat power.
Just in time to come in handy.
"Zhang Kui. Go and draft an official document immediately. Order Li Tianbao and Songping to lead all the navy warships under their command to the Yalu River. Pretend to cut off the Goguryeo people's retreat."
Liu Zhixing quickly issued the order, and then ordered to another official: "Qian Shanling. Immediately write this news into a notice. Pass it to all prefectures and counties. Ask the government officials to post it in all nineteen of our counties. on the bulletin board.”
"The sharp blade hanging over our heads has broken. The general has escaped. We have begun to fight back. Guangyang Mansion is already within easy reach, and the Goguryeo people are going to be in trouble."
"The Liaodong Tigers are not something they can trap."
At the end of the sentence, Liu Zhixing straightened his back, spoke decisively, and had a strong momentum.
Those who win are so proud.
"Yes." The two officials who were named immediately bowed and saluted. With excitement on his cheeks, he turned around and went straight to his office to do some work.
"Send someone to call Lieutenant Tie Xiao. No. Give him the order directly. Ask him to prepare and send troops to Shanning City early tomorrow morning to meet with the general. We have won the battle. Jiang County is as stable as Mount Tai and does not need his guard. ”
Liu Zhixing turned around and gave another order to an official.
"Li Fang. Select officials immediately and prepare to take over the seven cities of Guangyang Mansion."
"Barracks. Prepare to set up two garrison households of Guangyang Mansion."
Liu Zhixing issued orders one after another in front of everyone.
Act vigorously and resolutely.
Finally, Liu Zhixing remembered something and said, "That's right. Send someone to the backyard immediately. Let the ladies know the news."
"General. He's safe."
"yes."
The officials whose names were called immediately responded. Even those whose names were not called went back to work excitedly.
The workload ahead will be huge.
After all, the Fuhan General's Mansion originally only had nineteen cities, but now it suddenly has seven more cities, reaching twenty-six cities.
Can this workload be small?
Although Wu Nian had only captured two cities now, they had already completed the task automatically.
Just seven cities, just seven cities.
There are five prefectures and thirty-two cities in Liaodong.
We have five prefectures and twenty-six cities.
Hahaha.
