Chapter 780： Lu Su's proposal

Goryeo, Ganghwa Island, Li Sung-gye was appointed by Mingguan as the governor of the Goryeo National Soldiers and Horses, and led his troops to meet the navy of the Ming Army.

The mighty warships of the Fubo Legion appeared, occupied Ganghwa Island, and confronted the Goryeo King City Kaijingseong.

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

Until now, Mingguan has not completely surrendered Korea.

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

"Sink the ship and prevent Xia Jun's navy from entering the port!"

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

Hundreds of ships were scuttled and blocked the port of Kaijing.

This is a tactic commonly used by the unfavorable side during naval battles.

"Li Chenggui, my soldiers need to rest. Given the number of soldiers and horses of the Goryeo Kingdom, Xia Jun's navy will definitely not dare to attack and open Beijing."

The Ming army navy master will wipe the black smoke from his face.

"Chen Lin, don't underestimate them. Foreigners from Korea, they reminded me to be careful of King Xia. His power is extremely strong. And a strong power, their generals often do not act according to common sense, for the sake of military success, maybe they will Take the initiative to attack us."

Li Chenggui was not as relieved as the navy general of the Ming Army.

He has regarded Goryeo as his own territory, and the Fubo Army has appeared in the waters near Kaijing, making him uneasy.

"I am under the order of the King of Ming, and the Governor of Korea, the National Soldiers and Horses, will never allow Xia Jun's navy to take away the city of Kaijing guarded by me."

Li Chenggui was on the shore, looking at the Xia Jun fleet that appeared on the sea horizon. Among them were nine huge Dafu ships with their masts soaring into the clouds.

The Fubo Legion has 120,000 soldiers and horses, of which 70,000 soldiers. These 70,000 soldiers can not only fight in water, but also an elite division on land, and the fleet can transport troops.

Behind Li Chenggui, the army of 200,000 Goryeo nations formed a camp.

The fleet of the Fubo Army patrols Ganghwa Island.

"Sure enough, they sunk the ship ashore. The number of soldiers and horses of the Goryeo Kingdom seems a bit huge."

Zheng Zhilong looked at the army of the Goryeo Kingdom on the shore, and the darkness was overwhelming.

"It might not be so easy to attack and open Beijing."

Yu Yunwen sighed.

...

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

Sun Ce stood beside Sun Jian. Sun Ce had scars on his face. When he attacked the city himself, he was slightly injured.

"Father, Luoyang City has been captured by King Xia's soldiers."

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

Sun Jian learned that Xia Jun had won the Mangshan Battle and knew that he had lost the opportunity to capture Hefei.

Song Jiang said from the side: "The King Xia was really cautious. The Northern War was so tragic that he never transferred the defenders from Hefei. He thought there would be a chance for a sneak attack."

Song Jiang knew that Sun Jian had spent a lot of time preparing for the raid on Hefei. This was also what King Wu meant. Hefei is in the hands of King Xia and threatens Jiangdong too much. Jiangdong forces dream of taking Hefei and Shouchun.

"When King Xia's main force enters the pass, we still have a chance to attack Hefei. As long as King Xia dares to transfer Hefei's forces, we will definitely be able to take down Hefei."

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

The Jiangdong Army burned the camp, boarded the warship, and withdrew to Lujiang.

Xia Jun’s navy was concentrated in the Yellow Sea. On the contrary, there were almost no ships in the Yangtze River, which was completely monopolized by Jiangdong forces.

Therefore, no ships can stop Sun Jian's Jiangdong army from retreating.

"This is Sun Jian's second attack on Hefei. Whether it is him or the King Wu behind him, they are persevering in Hefei City. Presumably they know the importance of Hefei. Maybe we can find a way to negotiate with Sun Jian."

Lu Su looked at Jiangdong soldiers who had receded like the tide.

Although Sun Jian was unable to conquer the tightly defended city of Hefei, every time Sun Jian led his army to attack, the defenders of Hefei City suffered a lot of losses, and the mobilization of soldiers, horses, food and grass cost a lot of gold and silver.

Zhang Liao glanced at Lu Su with Yu Guang: "How to negotiate with Sun Jian? Sun Jian is the tiger of Jiangdong, the brother of King Wu, he attacked Hefei, most of which was instructed by King Wu."

Lu Su disagrees: "The righteous brothers do not mean that they will act from the standpoint of each other. The two major factions in Jiangdong are not exactly the same. For the benefit of the Sun family, Sun Jian will naturally choose the choice that is most beneficial to the Sun family. However, How to win over Sun Jian is indeed a difficult thing."

Chen Deng, who came from Guangling County to help defend the city, listened to Lu Su's words: "Want to win over Sun Jian is nothing more than fame and fortune. Profit is divided into gold and silver, beautiful women, family interests, etc. The relationship between Sun Jian and King Wu is a righteous brother. The only way to get closer to the Biyi brothers is marriage."

Lu Su thoughtfully: "Marriage? Sun Jian has several sons. The martial arts of Jiangdong Tiger should not be bad. Sun Ce, the eldest son of the Sun family, caused us a lot of losses. Tian Ji and Yu She were also taken He was injured."

Lu Su seemed to admire Sun Jian and Sun Ce and his sons, and had an inexplicable affection.

Lu Su believes that since Sun Jian and Sun Ce are quite brave, then Sun Jian's four sons should be so.

Moreover, Sun Jian also has three daughters.

"Suggesting to the lord, the specific ruling depends on the lord's meaning."

Lu Su was very interested in Chen Deng's proposal, and even thought it was feasible. Chutian also had many sons and daughters. It couldn't be easier to find someone to marry him.

Because the Jiangdong Army took the initiative to clear the siege, Hefei once again returned to calm, allowing civilians to enter and exit.

The military commander Liang Shan, who was in 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 has taken refuge in Xia Jun. Is that her son?"

Shi Qian even saw Hu Sanniang holding a child.

Hu Sanniang occasionally caught a glimpse of Shi Qian out of the city, and she was a little surprised, but she hesitated for a while and still did not expose Shi Qian's identity.

Even if the time moved into Hefei City to investigate intelligence, the Liaodong Army could not capture Hefei.

Intelligence is very important, but in the face of absolute strength, if you cannot attack, you cannot attack.

...

"Marriage with the Sun family in order to reconcile with Sun Jian and reduce the threat to Hefei. This method sounds good. It is indeed the good old man Lu Su who came up with such a bad idea. Could it be that I want to make me lose my daughter and break down... …"

When Chutian assembled his forces in Zhuojun, Lu Su, who was committed to diplomacy, proposed a marriage plan.

But Chu Tian has no interest in marriage.

The basis of political marriage is that both parties have common interests. At present, Xia Jun and Wu Jun are in conflict, and the marriage is really not very reliable.

"Unless Sun Jian marries his daughter, there is no possibility of marriage."

Chu Tian put Lu Su's plan aside.

When Sun Jian's daughter married, Chu Tian thought about how he didn't suffer.

"Master, the various legions of the Imperial Guard have been assembled."

Chu Tian stayed in Zhuo County for a few days, and his guards finally assembled in Zhuo County.

"Go and rescue Youzhou."

The Liaodong Army should be one of the strongest cavalry that Chutian encountered.

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

Driven by hundreds of infantry, the large siege tower as high as the gate tower approached Jixian again. Kong Youde, the commander of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, stood on one of the large siege towers. The movement of the defenders on the wall was clear.

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

A team of archers are preparing the rocket.

"Hold your shield!"

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

As soon as Kong Youde's voice fell, hundreds of rockets shot at the siege tower where he was located, and many rockets hit the shield and nailed it to the shield!

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.

"Extinguishing!"

There were still a few rockets falling on the top of the siege tower. Kong Youde ordered the Ming army to put out the fire, bent his bow and set up arrows, and shot a defender.

The defenders on the city wall hit arrows, and one of the defenders’ arms was even pierced by arrows and nailed to the wooden pillars of the city gate!

The bow is tight, and a stream of arrows shoots out, taking Kong Youde directly!

Kong Youde subconsciously turned sideways, the arrow almost brushed against his face, almost shot him!

"What a ruthless arrow!"

Kong Youde looked in the direction where Liuya was shooting, a bow general with a quiver on his back was cleaning the marksman on the siege tower.

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

The existence of the siege tower smoothed out the defensive advantage brought by the city wall.

"dead!"

Xia Houyuan shot another arrow, and a sharpshooter fell to the ground, falling from the 16-meter-high siege tower to pieces.

boom!

A huge boulder fell and the gate of the city burst into a corner. Xia Houyuan had to avoid the falling stones.

Several large siege towers cast shadows on the damaged walls, and the defenders became frantic. They concentrated their rockets on the siege towers. Even the Ba Niu crossbows and trebuchets were used to bombard the siege towers.

A siege tower was destroyed by a giant crossbow and collapsed diagonally.

The fire was blazing, and another siege tower burst into the sky with billowing black smoke, and the soldiers inside the siege tower abandoned the siege tower that was about to be burned.

But there was still a siege tower close to the wall.

The heavy tower bridge was smashed down, killing several defenders at the head of the city, and a group of heavy infantry from Liaodong landed on the city under the cover of archers!

Dozens of arrows came and took away half of the Liaodong heavy infantry.

"Girl Huo Qing, this place is dangerous, not where you stay."

Xia Houyuan found that Huo Qing, who was closely related to Prince Xia's Mansion, went to the city to defend himself, and couldn't help but worry.

If Huo Qing had an accident, as one of the defenders, he would probably be held accountable.

"Only I can improve the ability of the defenders. Ji County must not lose, otherwise, Youzhou will not be able to defend."

Huo Qing has a certain panel and characteristics, because Huo An has given Huo Qing a lot of rewards in the past, so Huo Qing is not an ordinary player. With his characteristics, he is equivalent to a diamond-level military commander.

"It seems that I can't hold it..."

Huo Qing found that the tower bridges of the three siege towers had been lowered, and the three groups of infantry broke out from the siege towers!
