Chapter 2689 First Victory

The Duke of Zhao first captured the city of Gaimu, and the time was faster than the emperor expected, and it only took five days.

The morale was high, and even the people and tribes of Liaodong came in groups, kneeling and begging the emperor to recruit them into the army to attack Goguryeo together.

Although the emperor was very moved, he still refused, and after appeasing them, let them go home.

But this makes morale even higher. Morale is a very mysterious thing. If one is good, it will be good with other aspects.

And one after another disappeared, and there was a downturn in Goguryeo.

As soon as Gaimu City was captured, the reinforcements from Liaodong City were cut off, more than 20,000 people were captured, and more than 100,000 stone of food were captured, which directly relieved the pressure on the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War.

The emperor was delighted, so he sent more soldiers to surround Liaodong City.

The other students from the Imperial Physician's Office also followed the army.

Liaodong City was in critical condition, and news came out that Goguryeo sent 40,000 troops to rescue them. They needed to go to Gaimu City. The emperor asked Zhao Guogong, Li Si and others to ambush them, and they won these 40,000 people without waiting for anyone to pass Gaimu City.

Then both sides attacked together, Zhao Guogong and General Ashina captured Liaodong City together.

When Liaodong City was captured, the Goguryeo portal opened wide. At the same time, good news came from the south that Feng Shangshu captured Beisha City and was heading towards Liaodong City.

The emperor led an army into Liaodong City.

He looked at the hanging map and pondered.

Zhao Guogong said: "Your Majesty, the sky is about to get cold."

The emperor put his hands together and did not speak. General Ashina said, "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of the cold."

Zhao Guogong, Li Si and other generals glanced at him and said nothing.

Of course he wasn't afraid anymore. The Hu Jun he brought with him was good at fighting in severe cold, but Dajin's troops were not good enough. At this time, fighting was very expensive.

Zhao Guogong said: "Your Majesty, we can fight for another month at most. It will snow in a month, and the road will not be easy to walk."

The emperor frowned and said, "If you can't capture Goguryeo, this dispatch of troops will not count as a victory."

The emperor was a little anxious, and he didn't have much time. This time, he had won the royal expedition for many years before the ministers agreed. I'm afraid there will be no chance after this time.

Moreover, the war cost a lot. After this time, it would be difficult to use troops on Goguryeo on a large scale.

The emperor squeezed his fist and asked, "Is there any news from Baekje and Silla?"

Zhao Guogong looked helpless and said unhappily, "They are still attacking each other. Baekje is reluctant and has been delaying. Silla is interested and is willing to send a team of troops to attack the north."

The emperor was displeased, "Didn't they tell them not to fight?"

Zhao Guogong said: "The two countries are suspicious of each other. Baekje is unwilling to stop the war first, and Silla does not trust Baekje, so it has been delayed."

These two vassal states could not be counted on, and the emperor sighed in anger.

The bullshit who lowered his head below is even more angry. This matter was going well. The three parties shot at the same time. Silla and Baekje occupied a lot of territory, and he also occupied a lot. Who knew that Silla was so short-sighted, see you Baekje was in chaos in the country, and he felt that Goguryeo's territory was more difficult to fight, so he turned his head and went to seize the territory that Baekje had seized.

It is estimated that the hatred between the two countries will not be resolved for a while. He came out and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to bring the Mole people in and attack Goguryeo together."

The emperor's eyes brightened and he asked, "Do you have any friendship with the Mole people?"

He didn't dare to say yes, but said: "I have dealt with them, Mole and I have had friction with me, Dajin, and Goguryeo, but as long as they have money, they are willing to send troops."

That is to say, lure them with profit.

The emperor touched his chin and said, "You can give it a try, and send an envoy to go to Mohe."

The people below should get down immediately.

The emperor thought for a while, and felt that if the weather was cold and he could not defeat Goguryeo, he would rely on the cavalry the most, so he said to General Ashina, "Integrate the Turkic army, and I will send you some troops from other tribes?"

Now the Hu soldiers under Ashina are basically Turks, and they are very powerful in cavalry.

General Ashina thought for a while and nodded, thinking that he could add another 2,000 troops.

So the emperor ordered Yunzhou and Shuozhou to send 1,000 cavalry to help each other.

Man Bao also lived in the city, but she still spent most of the time at the medical account. She went to her room in the dark.

Xibing held a lantern in his hand, and when he saw a shadow in front of him, he was startled and whispered, "Who?"

Man Bao, who was thinking about something, was startled, so he looked up and was about to ask who Keke was when Shadow stood up, "Man Bao?"

Xibing breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhou Man, "Sir, it's an adult."

Man Bao stepped forward and saw that Bai Shan was standing in front of the side door of a house. He was not the only one, but there were three people beside him.

Hearing the voice, they turned their heads together, and when they saw it was Zhou Man, they withdrew their gazes and lowered their heads again.

Man Bao glanced at them and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

Bai Shan said embarrassedly, "Let's get some air here."

On the side, Master Fang, who is familiar with Zhou Man, said quietly: "Isn't it true, the inside is full of fat powder, so come out and breathe."

Bai Shan:  …

Man Bao pricked up his ears as soon as he heard it, and then vaguely heard the sound of music and singing coming from the house.

Man Bao became more energetic and less sleepy, and asked with bright eyes, "Your Majesty is inside?"

Bai Shan nodded her forehead, made her stand up straight, and whispered, "Don't be too energetic, you are going to see Your Majesty tomorrow, so please put aside your curiosity."

Tomorrow, His Majesty will hold a small court meeting, mainly to discuss the next battle, and to understand all aspects, so Zhou Man will also participate.

Man Bao glanced at the house scratching his lungs. After a while, he sighed and asked him, "Then do you want to go back?"

Bai Shan hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and said to Master Fang, "Master Fang, I can't beat my drinking, so I'll go back to rest first."

Mr. Fang: ...

Other adults:  …

So angry, is it amazing to have a daughter-in-law?

Thought they didn't?

They're just not here.

Bai Shan and Man Bao went back.

The two people's rooms are actually separate, of course, they can also be in one.

Bai Shan and Master Fang lived together, and Man Bao had his own room, so he went directly to Man Bao.

Xibing immediately went down and asked the servants to bring hot water to wash up the two adults, and then turned to look for Daji to ask for Bai Shan's clothes.

After taking a shower, Bai Shan sat on the bed, took off his shoes and rubbed his legs cross-legged. Seeing that Man Bao was hugging the quilt, his eyelids were drooping down, so he reached out and pressed her neck, and asked with a smile, "Are you tired?"

"Well," Man Bao said, "I am exhausted. As long as there is a war ahead, we are busy in the back. There are still too few students here."

Man Bao moved his head, hugged the quilt to find a better position, and asked him to press his shoulders, she said: "We have added twenty-nine new people, plus two military doctors, a total of thirty-one people , I'm still so busy, not to mention that there were only two military doctors in the past. I always wondered, after this matter, should we open a separate department in the Imperial Physician's Office to train military doctors? Section finds it cumbersome."

Bai Shandao: "Unless in wars, military doctors are rarely used. Usually two in an army are enough, so it is impossible to keep so many military doctors in the army."

See you tomorrow
