Chapter 780 Lu Su's Proposal(1/2)

Li Chenggui was appointed governor of Goryeo, Jianghua Island, and was appointed as the governor of Goryeo by Mingguan, and led his troops to pick up the Ming Navy.

The vast warships of the Fubo Legion appeared, occupied Jianghua Island, and confronted the Koryo King City Kaijing.

As long as Kaijing is captured, the entire Goryeo Kingdom may be in chaos.

Until now, Mingguan has not completely surrendered to the Kingdom of Goryeo.

The Goryeo Kingdom has a population of 10 to 20 million, which is only a lot more than Liaodong. It is not that easy to consume the entire Goryeo Kingdom with the size of Liaodong.

"Sank the ship and stop the Xia Navy from entering the port!"

The Ming army navy came ashore and gave up defending the port.

Hundreds of ships were sunk, blocking the port of Kaijing.

This is a tactic commonly used by the disadvantaged parties during naval warfare.

"Li Chenggui, my soldiers need to rest. With the number of soldiers and horses in Goryeo, the Xia army's navy must not dare to attack and open the capital."

The head of the Ming army navy wiped the black smoke from his face.

"Chen Lin, don't underestimate them. The Yiren of Goryeo, they reminded me to be careful of King Xia, his power is extremely strong. For a strong force, their generals often do not act according to common sense. For the sake of military achievements, they may take the initiative to attack us."

Li Chenggui is not as relieved as the Ming Navy general.

He had regarded Goryeo as his territory, and the Fubo Legion had appeared in the waters near Kaijing, which made him uneasy.

"I am governing the military and horses of the Goryeo Kingdom under the order of the Ming King, and I will never allow the Xia army's navy to take away the Kaijing city that I guarded."

Li Chenggui was on the shore, looking at the Xia army fleet that appeared on the sea level, including nine huge big blessed ships with masts towering into the clouds.

The Fubo Legion had 120,000 soldiers, including 70,000 combat soldiers. These 70,000 people could not only fight in water, but also an elite army on land, and the fleet could transport troops.

Behind Li Chenggui, 200,000 troops of the Goryeo Kingdom formed camps and arrayed.

The fleet of the Fubo Legion patrols on Jianghua Island.

"They did sink ashore. The number of soldiers and horses in Goryeo seemed to be a bit huge."

Zheng Zhilong looked at the Goryeo army on the shore, and it was covered in darkness and endless.

"It may not be that easy to attack and open Beijing."

Yu Yunwen sighed.

...

In Hefei City, Sun Jian stood at the city, looking up at this indestructible fortress.

Sun Ce stood beside Sun Jian. Sun Ce had scars on his face. He was slightly injured when he personally attacked the city.

"Father, Luoyang City has been captured by the King of Xia's troops."

"It seems that we have lost the best opportunity to attack Hefei and retreat to Lujiang County."

When Sun Jian learned that the Xia army had won the Mangshan War, he knew that he had lost the opportunity to seize Hefei.

Song Jiang said from the side: "King Xia is really cautious. The battle in the north is so fierce that he never transferred the defenders in Hefei. He originally thought there would be a chance to attack."

Song Jiang knew that Sun Jian had prepared a lot of time to attack Hefei, which was also what King Wu meant. Hefei was in the hands of King Xia, and the Jiangdong forces wanted to take Hefei and Shouchun in their dreams.

"When the main force of King Xia enters Guanzhong, we still have a chance to attack Hefei. As long as King Xia dares to transfer the troops from Hefei, we will definitely be able to take down Hefei."

Sun Jian's second attack on Hefei City ended in failure, so he could only withdraw his troops temporarily.

The Jiangdong army burned the camp, boarded the warship, and retreated to Lujiang.

The Xia army's navy was concentrated in the Yellow Sea. On the contrary, there were almost no ships in the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River was completely monopolized by the Jiangdong forces.

Therefore, no ship could stop Sun Jian's Jiangdong army from retreating.

"This is the second time that Sun Jian attacked Hefei. Whether it was him or the King of Wu behind him, they were persistent in Hefei City. I believe they knew the importance of Hefei. Maybe we can find a way to negotiate with Sun Jian."

Lu Su looked at the Jiangdong soldiers who were retreating like a tide.

Although Sun Jian was unable to conquer Hefei City, every time Sun Jian led his army to attack, the defenders of Hefei City suffered a lot of losses, and they also mobilized their troops, food and grass, which consumed a lot of gold and silver.

Zhang Liao glanced at Lu Su with his eyes: "How to negotiate with Sun Jian? Sun Jian is the tiger of Jiangdong, the sworn brother of the King of Wu. He attacked Hefei, most of the instructing him to the King of Wu."

Lu Su disagreed: "The righteous brothers do not mean that they will act completely from the other party's position. The two major factions in Jiangdong are not exactly the same. Sun Jian will naturally choose the choice that is most beneficial to the Sun family for the sake of the Sun family. However, how to win over Sun Jian is indeed a difficult thing."

Chen Deng, who came to Guangling County to help defend the city, listened to Lu Su's words: "If you want to win over Sun Jian, it is nothing more than fame and fortune. Profit is divided into gold and silver, beauty, family interests, etc. Sun Jian's relationship with the King of Wu is a righteous brother. If you are closer than the righteous brothers, you can only be a marriage."

Lu Su thought to himself: "Marriage? How many sons are Sun Jian's bravery in Jiangdong Tiger, it should be good. Sun Ce, the eldest son of the Sun family, caused us considerable losses. Tian Ji and Yu She were also injured by him for a while."

Lu Su seemed to highly respect Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his son, and had an inexplicable favor.

Lu Su believes that since Sun Jian and Sun Ce and his son are quite brave, then Sun Jian’s four sons should be like this.

Moreover, Sun Jian has three daughters.

"Propose to the lord that the specific decision depends on the lord's intention."

Lu Su was very interested in Chen Deng's proposal and even thought it was feasible. Chu Tian also had many sons and daughters, and it was easier to find someone to marry.

Because the Jiangdong Army took the initiative to rescue the siege, Hefei City returned to peace and allowed civilians to enter and exit.

Shi Qian, a military general of Liangshan who was mixed into Hefei, lowered his felt hat. When he left the city gate, he caught a glimpse of Hu Sanniang patrolling the city wall: "Sure enough, Sanniang defected to Xia Jun. Is that her son?"

Shi Qian even saw Hu Sanniang holding a child.

Hu Sanniang accidentally caught a glimpse of Shi Qian leaving the city, and she felt a little surprised, but she hesitated for a while but still couldn't expose Shi Qian's identity.

Even if Shi Qian entered Hefei City to investigate the information, the Liaodong Army would not be able to capture Hefei.

Intelligence is very important, but in the face of absolute strength, if you can't conquer it, you can't conquer it.

...

"Marrying with the Sun family, so as to reconcile with Sun Jian and reduce the threat to Hefei City. This method sounds good. It's worthy of being a good old man, Lu Su, came up with such a bad idea. Could it be that I want to make me lose my daughter and lose my army..."

When Chu Tian gathered troops in Zhuo County, Lu Su, who was committed to diplomacy, presented a marriage plan.

But Chu Tian had no interest in marriage.

The basis of political marriage is that both parties have common interests. At present, the Xia army and the Wu army have conflicts, so the marriage is really not very reliable.

"Unless Sun Jian marrys his daughter, it is impossible to get married."

Chu Tian put Lu Su's plan aside.

Sun Jian's daughter is married, and Chu Tian thinks that he is not at a loss.

"Lord, the various legions of the Imperial Guards have been assembled."

Chu Tian stayed in Zhuo County for a few days, and his imperial guards finally completed the assembly in Zhuo County.

"Go and save the Youzhou."

The Liaodong Army should be one of the most powerful cavalry that Chu Tian encountered.

In Ji County, the Liaodong Army surrounded this Youzhou capital and used hundreds of large-scale siege equipment to attack the city day and night.

The large siege tower as high as the city gate tower was once again approaching Ji County under the propelling of hundreds of infantry. Kong Youde, the chief general of the Eight Banners of the Han army, stood on one of the large siege towers, and the movements of the defenders on the city wall were clearly visible.

In front of the large siege tower, the advantages of the city wall disappeared.

A team of archers are preparing for the rockets.

"Raising the shield!"

Kong Youde shouted, and the infantry above the siege tower raised their shields to protect the archers.

As soon as Kong Youde finished speaking, hundreds of rockets shot at the siege tower where he was, and many rockets shot shields and nailed them to the shields!

The side of the siege tower facing the city wall is covered with cowhide and mud to prevent the siege tower from being ignited by rockets.

"Extinguish the fire!"

There were still several rockets falling above the siege tower. Kong Youde ordered the Ming army to put out the fire, and personally bent his bow and arrows to shoot a defender.

The defender on the city wall was caught by arrows, and the arm of a defender was even penetrated by arrows, nailed to the wooden pillars of the city gate tower!

The bow is tight, and a flowing arrow shoots out, and you can directly draw the hole Youde!

Kong Youde subconsciously turned to one side, and the arrow almost rubbed against his face, almost shooting him to death!

"What a cruel arrow!"

Kong Youde looked in the direction of the flowing arrow shooting. A bow-type general was carrying an arrow pouch and was cleaning the sharpshooter on the siege tower.

The siege tower poses unprecedented threat to the defenders of Ji County.

The existence of the siege tower smoothed out the advantages of defending the city brought by the city walls.

"die!"

Xiahou Yuan shot another arrow, and a sharpshooter fell down as he responded to the string, falling from a siege tower that was sixteen meters high, and was crushed to pieces.

boom!

A huge rock fell, and the city gate tower collapsed and a corner of it broke. Xiahou Yuan had to avoid the rolling stones.

Several large siege towers cast shadows on some damaged city walls, and the defenders became crazy, and concentrated rockets to shoot the siege tower fiercely. Even the Eight-Nuao Crossbow and the catapult came in handy to bombard the siege tower.
