Jiangjie City.

Beppu, the general who assisted the Han Dynasty.

There are currently a lot of officials working in the front yard of Beppu, and the security is also tight. It has the atmosphere of [Jiang County Fu Han General's Mansion].

Backyard, inside the hall.

Wu Nian was wearing a black python robe and a turban on his head. His freshly washed hair was very smooth.

In front of him were seven captains including Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Long Qie, Zhao Yanting, Huang Hu, Tieniu, and Guan Jinhan.

Wu Nian said: "At present, the situation in Jiangjie Prefecture and Yizhou Prefecture has stabilized. Now that the autumn harvest has just passed, both places are large plains and grain-producing areas. The granaries are full and can support our battle."

"Now the Meng Yuan people and the Chu people are joining forces to attack Liaodong. We must also end the war in Goguryeo as soon as possible and go back to rescue."

"I plan to let Colonel Guan and Lieutenant Huang stay at Yizhou Prefecture and Jiangjie Prefecture, and the other five lieutenants will accompany me to conquer the capital south."

"But Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong have stationed heavy troops on the front line of the capital. The capital is tall and solid, with abundant internal financial resources and food and grass. And although General Toyotomi's reinforcements are not there yet, they are definitely indispensable."

"It can be said to be a difficult bone to crack. Maybe we will lose our teeth. Do you have any suggestions? Speak freely."

After finishing speaking, Wu Young Man clapped his hands lightly.

"Pap."

After the voice fell, Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun walked in carrying a desk covered with maps, put it down, bent down and clasped their fists, then turned and left.

Wu Nian stood up and gathered around the desk with the captains, looking down at the map.

How can the capital be surrendered to others?

Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong definitely wanted to defend the capital, but they did not passively retreat to the capital. Instead, they set up a defense line centered on the capital.

There is a stronghold in the north of the capital called Jingge City. It has 10,000 soldiers.

There is a stronghold in the west called Luntai Camp. It has 7,000 soldiers.

There is a stronghold in the east, in the same city. There are three thousand soldiers.

There are at least 50,000 soldiers guarding the capital. Among them are 50,000 soldiers trained and restored by Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng.

There are also the capital's city defense troops, imperial guards, and troops temporarily transferred from the south.

The defense line of the capital formed by all this seems to be impregnable, firmly guarding the north of Goguryeo.

The purpose of Goguryeo's side is very clear.

Keep.

Waiting for Fuso reinforcements.

Imagining the Chu Kingdom, the Meng Yuan Dynasty won the battle in Liaodong, which reversed the situation.

After looking at the map for a while, Huang Hu pinched his chin and said: "It is difficult for us to break through the layout of Goguryeo. Otherwise, we will continue to encroach on the land in the north of Goguryeo. Jiashan Prefecture and Jingcheng Prefecture. We can also take Goguryeo into the water

The army will drive out of the Yalu River and we will have it all to ourselves."

Without waiting for Wu Nian to answer, Guan Jinhan shook his head and said, "This will be the fault of Goguryeo."

"We have to quickly attack the capital city of Goguryeo, and it will be worth paying any price."

"Jiashan Prefecture and Jingcheng Prefecture are located in the mountainous area east of Goguryeo. It will take a lot of time and energy for us to attack them. The general relied on the mountainous areas to withstand the attack of the Mongolian Yuan people."

Zhao Yanting nodded and agreed: "Guan Xiaowei is right. Although we have entered Goguryeo, the spies are not so easy to use. Jiashan Prefecture and Jingcheng Prefecture are mountainous areas, so it is difficult to transmit information. But the spies still got some

information."

"The prefects and county magistrates of these two prefectures have already begun to form an army."

"Not only the city defense army, but also the field army. They have made it clear that they want to fight guerrilla warfare with us."

"If we enter the Second Mansion, we will be consumed by them. Now our Liaodong base camp is being attacked by the Mongolian, Yuan and Chu Kingdoms. It is already very difficult for Liu Changshi to maintain it. He has no troops to supplement us."

"The layout of Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong is very interesting. They stationed 10,000 troops in Jingge City, a stronghold in the north of the capital. This is very reasonable. After all, we are attacking from north to south, and Jingge City is a frontal battlefield."

"There are 7,000 soldiers in the Luntai camp, so there is no problem."

"But the eastern stronghold in the same city only has three thousand soldiers. And the city is connected to the mountains."

"Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong did this because they wanted to use the same city as bait to lure us to detour to Jiashan Prefecture and attack the same city. In other words, they wanted to trick us into going to the mountainous area."

Wu Nian and the others all nodded and agreed with Zhao Yanting's analysis.

Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong are full of evil.

But they may not underestimate us too much. At this point in the war, surprise has expired.

Both sides put everything on the table. It was clear how much strength the other side had and what intentions the other side had.

What’s the point of setting a trap in the same city?

If you want to attack the capital, you must first solve one of the three strongholds outside the city and leverage Goguryeo's defense network.

Since being in the same city is a trap.

Then only the Jingcheng Pavilion on the front and the Luntai Camp on the west are left to choose from.

Jingcheng Pavilion is strong, and a frontal attack will probably cause heavy losses.

The Luntai Camp to the west is even more nonsense. You have to cross the Jingcheng Pavilion to attack the Luntai Camp.

"From a purely defensive point of view, this layout is impeccable. They are truly worthy of Li Yunchong and Xue Qilin. We did not leave them behind in the battle of Guangyang. We really let the tiger return to the mountain." Tieniu looked regretful and stretched out his hand to touch his neck.

I thought to myself:

"But I tried my best to pursue Zhao Mancheng, but I was almost killed."

The other captains nodded in agreement. It was impossible to break through this formation in a short time.

And they just don't have much time.

In the so-called military meeting, everyone should speak freely. Wu Nian would never criticize anyone because someone had a bad idea or said something wrong.

The atmosphere here is very good.

Long Qie raised his head, looked at everyone, and said, "It seems that we have the same opinion."

"Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong are indeed famous Goguryeo generals. They defended beautifully. In addition to defending, they also set up a citymate as a bait."

"We have 70,000 troops, all of whom have experienced hundreds of battles. However, without follow-up support, we will lose one by one. We cannot attack by force."

"Then the answer isn't ready to come out?"

Wu Nian, who had been watching from beginning to end, turned around and went straight to the main seat and sat down. He put his hands on the armrests of the Grand Master's chair and said lightly: "Lure them out."

"Yes. The art of war is to siege the city first and fight in the field first. What's more, we are elites who have fought in hundreds of battles. Only the Mongols can fight equally with us."

Long Qie nodded, but soon sighed again, shook his head and returned to his seat to sit down. He said, "But. Because of this."

"How could they abandon the city and come out to fight with us?"

Tieniu also sighed and said gloomily: "Liaodong's powerful army is brave and good at fighting. It is famous all over the world. Who is willing to fight with us in the field?"
