Chapter 780: Lu Su's Proposal

Goryeo Kingdom, Ganghwa Island, Li Chenggui was appointed governor of Goryeo Kingdom soldiers and horses by Mingguan, and led his troops to meet the Ming army navy.

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

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

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

Koryo 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 Koryo with the size of Liaodong.

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

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

Hundreds of ships were scuttled, blocking Kaijing's port.

This is a common tactic used by the disadvantaged side in naval warfare.

"Li Chenggui, my soldiers need to rest and recuperate. With the number of soldiers and horses in Koryo, Xia Jun's navy will definitely not dare to attack Kaijing."

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

"Chen Lin, don't underestimate them. The strangers of Goryeo, they remind me to be careful of King Xia, who is extremely powerful. And for a powerful force, their generals often don't act according to common sense. For the sake of military exploits, they may Take the initiative to attack us."

Li Chenggui was not as reassured as the generals of the navy of the Ming army.

He already regards Goryeo as his territory, and the Fubo Legion has appeared in the waters near Kaijing, making him uneasy.

"I am ordered by King Ming, the governor of Koryo, to never allow the navy of the Xia army to take away the city of Kaijing that I am guarding."

Li Chenggui was on the shore, looking at the Xia Army fleet appearing on the horizon, among which were nine huge Dafu ships with towering masts reaching into the sky.

The Fubo Legion has 120,000 soldiers and horses, of which 70,000 are 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 200,000 Korean army formed a battalion.

The fleet of the Fubo Legion patrolled Jianghua Island.

"Sure enough, they sank and went ashore. The number of soldiers and horses in Koryo seems to be a bit large."

Zheng Zhilong looked at the Koryo army on the shore, it was dark and overwhelming.

"If you want to attack Kaijing, I'm afraid it will not be that easy."

Yu Yunwen sighed.

...

In the city of Hefei, Sun Jian stood under the city, looking up at this impenetrable fortress.

Sun Ce stood next to 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 King Xia's troops."

"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 battle of Mangshan, and knew that he had lost the chance to capture Hefei.

Song Jiang said from the side: "King Xia is 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 prepared a lot of time for the surprise attack on Hefei, which was what King Wu meant. Hefei is in the hands of King Xia, threatening Jiangdong too much. Jiangdong forces dream of taking Hefei and Shouchun.

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

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

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

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

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

"This is the second time that Sun Jian has attacked Hefei. Whether it is him or the King Wu behind him, they are persistent in Hefei City. They must know the importance of Hefei. Maybe we can find a way to have peace talks with Sun Jian."

Lu Su looked at the Jiangdong soldiers receding like the tide.

Although Sun Jian was unable to conquer the tightly defended Hefei City, every time Sun Jian led his troops to attack, the defenders in Hefei City lost a lot, and the mobilization of troops, horses, food and grass cost a lot of gold and silver.

Zhang Liao glanced at Lu Su from the corner of his eye: "How can we negotiate peace with Sun Jian? Sun Jian is a tiger in the east of the Yangtze River.

King Wu's sworn brother, he attacked Hefei, most of which was ordered by King Wu. "

Lu Su disagreed: "Brotherhood does not mean that they will completely stand on the other side's side. The two factions in Jiangdong are not exactly the same. Sun Jian will naturally choose the option that is most beneficial to the Sun family for the benefit of the Sun family. But , How to win over Sun Jian is indeed a difficult thing."

Chen Deng, who came from Guangling County to help guard the city, listened to Lu Su's words: "Wanting Sun Jian is nothing more than fame and fortune, and profit is divided into gold and silver, beautiful women, family interests, etc. The relationship between Sun Jian and the King of Wu is righteous brothers, The one who is closer than righteous brothers can only be married."

Lu Su pondered: "Marriage? Sun Jian has several sons. The bravery of Jiangdong's tiger should not be bad. The eldest son of the Sun family, Sun Ce, has caused us a lot of losses. Tian Ji and Yu She were once killed He hurt."

Lu Su seemed to admire Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his son very much, and had an inexplicable affection for them.

Lu Su believed that since Sun Jian and Sun Ce's father and son were quite brave, then Sun Jian's four sons should all be like this.

Moreover, Sun Jian has three daughters.

"Suggest to the lord, how to make a verdict depends on the lord's wishes."

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

Because the Jiangdong Army took the initiative to break the siege, the city of Hefei regained its calm and allowed civilians to enter and exit.

General Shi Qian of Liangshan, who had sneaked into the city of Hefei, lowered his felt hat, and when he left the city gate, he saw Hu Sanniang patrolling the city wall: "Sure enough, Sanniang has joined the Xia army. That is her son?"

Shi Qian even saw Hu Sanniang holding a child.

Hu Sanniang caught a glimpse of Shi Qian leaving the city by chance, and was a little surprised in her heart, but she hesitated for a while, but still did not reveal Shi Qian's identity.

Even if Shi Qian entered 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 can't attack, you can't attack.

...

"Marry with the Sun family, so as to reconcile with Sun Jian, and reduce the threat to Hefei City. This method sounds good. As expected of a good old man, Lu Su, who came up with such a bad idea. Could it be that he wanted me to lose my daughter and lose my army... ..."

When Chutian gathered troops in Zhuojun, Lu Su, who was committed to diplomacy, proposed a marriage strategy.

But Chutian has no interest in marriage.

The basis of a 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 secure.

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

Chu Tian put Lu Su's plan aside.

Sun Jian's daughter married, and Chu Tian thought that he would not be at a disadvantage.

"My lord, all the regiments of the Imperial Guard have been assembled."

Chutian stayed in Zhuojun for a few days, and his imperial guards finally assembled in Zhuojun.

"Go to rescue Youzhou."

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

In Ji County, the Liaodong Army surrounded the seat of Youzhou, mobilizing hundreds of large siege machines to attack the city day and night.

Driven by hundreds of infantry, the large siege tower, which was as high as the gate tower, approached Ji County again. Kong Youde, the general of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, stood on one of the large siege towers, and he could see the movements of the defenders on the city wall at a glance.

In the face of large siege towers, the advantage of the city wall disappeared.

A team of archers is preparing rockets.

"Raise 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 hit the shield and nailed it!

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!"

A few rockets still landed on the top of the siege tower. Kong Youde ordered the Ming army to put out the fire, bent his bow and set up an arrow, and shot a defender.

The defenders on the city wall were hit by arrows, and one defender's arm was even pierced by arrows and nailed to the wooden pillar of the city gate tower!

The bow was tense, and a stream of arrows shot straight at Kong Youde!

Kong Youde subconsciously turned to one side, the arrow almost brushed against his face, almost killing him!

"What a ruthless arrow!"

Kong Youde looked in the direction of Liu Ya's 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 advantage of defending the city brought by the city wall.

"die!"

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

boom!

A boulder fell, and a corner of the city gate tower cracked. Xia Houyuan had to dodge the falling stone.

Several large siege towers cast shadows on the somewhat damaged city walls, and the defenders became crazy, concentrating their rockets to violently shoot at the siege towers, even eight-ox crossbows and trebuchets were used to bombard the siege towers.

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

The fire was raging, and another siege tower shot billowing black smoke straight into the sky. The soldiers in the siege tower abandoned the siege tower that was about to be burned.

But there are still siege towers approaching the city wall.

The heavy tower bridge fell, killing several defenders at the top of the city, and a group of Liaodong heavy infantry climbed to the city under the cover of archers!

Dozens of arrows were shot, taking away half of the Liaodong heavy infantry.

"Miss Huo Qing, this place is dangerous, not a place for you to stay."

Xia Houyuan found out that Huo Qing, who was closely related to the Xia Palace, went to the city to defend himself, and couldn't help being anxious.

If something happens to Huo Qing, as one of the guards, he will most likely 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 certain boards and characteristics, because Huo An has distributed a lot of benefits to Huo Qing in the rewards he received in the past, so Huo Qing is not an ordinary player, and with his characteristics, he is equivalent to a diamond-level general.

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

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