Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 746: The Liaodong Messenger

There were guests in Changli City, and after the defenders of Tuhe arrived, the situation eased a lot, but it still couldn't change the bad situation in Changli City. The weather was hot, and the injured soldiers couldn't get treatment. The wails every night

The noise has a great impact on the morale of the army, so Gongsun Kang specially gathered the wounded soldiers in one place for this purpose.

"General, General Gao Cheng led five thousand reinforcements and defeated the enemy a hundred miles east of the city." Liu Yi walked in in a hurry and whispered.

Gongsun Kang was shocked. Gao Cheng was a high-ranking general in the army. Unexpectedly, he was still defeated by the Youzhou army.

"This matter must not be known to the soldiers in the city. Anyone who leaks this matter will be killed!" Gongsun Kang hurriedly ordered. The morale of the defenders was not high. If such a situation was known, wouldn't it cause chaos?

"Here." Liu Yi also knew the urgency of the situation.

"General, a letter from the king." Gongsun Kang's bodyguard walked in quickly.

After reading the letter in his hand, Gongsun Kang looked more relaxed. Gongsun Du asked him to abandon Changli when the situation was unavoidable. The period when the Youzhou Army attacked Changli was a huge torture for Gongsun Kang.

The army faced endless torture from the Thunderbolt Chariots, and had to be wary of the Youzhou Army's sudden attack on the city. How many times did the Youzhou Army attack the city wall? If it hadn't been for the defenders fighting to the death, Changli City would still have been lost.

In terms of boosting morale, Gongsun Kang still had some tricks. Under his encouragement, the defenders not only shared the same hatred with the enemy, but also resisted tenaciously when facing the Youzhou army. The generals in the army understood that once Changli was attacked,

What fate will they face? They don't want to live a life of dependence on others, even if Lu Bu is a hussar general.

The aristocratic families in the city also gave their full support to Gongsun Kang. The main reason was that the methods shown by Lu Bu made the aristocratic families afraid. They did not want the power in their hands to change because the Youzhou Army entered Changli. If the Youzhou Army was replaced by the Jizhou Army or the Jizhou Army,

It is the army of other princes, and the noble family may have done something else.

"General Liu, what do you think of this matter?" Gongsun Kang asked after Liu Yi read the letter.

Liu Yi frowned, abandoning Changli City would mean losing the Liaodong vassal state, and the Youzhou Army would be able to march straight into Liaodong, which would inevitably cause shock in Liaodong.

Having followed Gongsun Du for many years, Liu Yi did not want Liaodong to be lost.

"General, although the situation in the city is precarious, if you want to escape unscathed, you still need to plan. Otherwise, if the Youzhou Army finds out, it will be absolutely difficult to withdraw from the Liaodong vassal country." Liu Yidao, after reading the letter, he said

I understand Gongsun Du's intention. After all, Gongsun Kang is the hope of Liaodong. The aging Gongsun Du does not want to put Gongsun Kang in danger because of a vassal state of Liaodong. If there is no Gongsun Kang in the city, I am afraid that the order will be replaced by a stubborn defense.

.

Only if Changli City persists longer can Liaodong be able to deal with the threat from the Youzhou Army more calmly.

Different from the low morale of the defenders, the news that Huang Zhong led two thousand Lieyang Archers to repel the Liaodong reinforcements greatly boosted the morale of the Youzhou army.

The strength of Changli City also exceeded Lu Bu's expectations. Originally, he planned to capture the Liaodong vassal state within one month and then send troops to Liaodong. Unexpectedly, the battle to attack Changli lasted for nearly a month.

"My lord, the envoy from Liaodong wants to see you." Dian Wei walked into the tent and whispered.

Lu Bu looked away from the terrain map, with a look of doubt on his face. Could it be that the envoy from Liaodong came here to seek peace? The war has now progressed, and the two sides have reached a point where they will fight to the death. He does not think that Liaodong will be willing to surrender.

After all, Gongsun Kang still had tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands. Changli City was so difficult to break, let alone Xiangping.

"Let the envoy from Liaodong come in." Lu Bu ordered.

"Liu Tai, the envoy from Liaodong, has met the Marquis of Jin." Liu Tai bowed his hands and saluted.

Lu Bu took a look at Liu Tai. He could maintain such a magnanimous attitude, so he was not an unknown person in Liaodong.

"Why did the envoy come? Could it be that the governor of Liaodong wanted to surrender to me?" Lu Bu said with a smile, and in his words he did not acknowledge Gongsun Du's identity as the king of Liaodong.

"Marquis of Jin, the war has begun and the people of Li are suffering from war. My king is worried about the people and does not want to fight to the death with the Marquis of Jin. If the Marquis of Jin can stop his army, my king is willing to form an alliance with the Marquis of Jin forever and never invade the land of Youzhou.

Liu Tai replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. Liu Tai was not very optimistic about Gongsun Du sending an envoy to the Youzhou Army. Anyone could see the great ambition of the Marquis of Jin. As long as he captured the Liaodong vassal state, he would never give it up.

The land of Liaodong.

Lu Bu snorted coldly: "What king of Liaodong? Since the time of Emperor Gaozu, every king of the Han Dynasty has had kings with different surnames and killed them. I am the hussar general of the Han Dynasty. I should help the emperor to eradicate the rebellion. If Gongsun Du, the governor of Liaodong, is willing to bow his head and become my vassal,

I will retreat on my own, and the people of Liaodong will be spared from the war. Besides, Liaodong also belongs to Youzhou. Could it be that Gongsun Du really thought that he could break the soil and become the king?"

"I've heard that the Marquis of Jin is worried about the people, so why are you so aggressive?" Liu Tai said.

"Aggressive?" Lu Bu sneered: "Gongsun Du didn't know the destiny and dared to proclaim himself king in Liaodong. With such behavior, could the envoy think that I was wrong to attack Liaodong?"

Liu Tai was at a loss for words. Gongsun Du's claim to the throne in Liaodong was untenable in terms of justice. This was because Liaodong was remote and did not attract the prying eyes of the princes. Moreover, Gongsun Du had tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, so he was able to live freely in Liaodong.

, no matter which prince sends troops to Liaodong, they can occupy the great righteousness.

"The two armies were fighting, and the envoy was not killed. After the envoy returned, he told Gongsun Du that the destiny of heaven cannot be violated. If he makes a decision as soon as possible, he can avoid being attacked by swords and axes." Lu Bu said, Gongsun Du's actions in Liaodong were also done by him.

After a detailed understanding, Gongsun Du's behavior showed that he treated the people very well, and the surrounding foreigners were also beaten by Gongsun Du. This is a man who has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty.

"I hope the Marquis of Jin will think twice. Although Liaodong is small, there are tens of thousands of warriors who can fight." Liu Tai said.

"What can we do with tens of thousands of elite soldiers? I wonder if the King of Liaodong you mentioned dares to fight a decisive battle with me with an upright army?" Lu Bu asked rhetorically.

Liu Tai looked embarrassed. At this point, he had to admit that the combat power of the Youzhou Army was indeed too strong. With only two thousand cavalry, he repulsed the five thousand reinforcements from Liaodong, and all the food, grass and baggage were

The Youzhou Army gained, and it was precisely because of this situation that Gongsun Du strengthened his determination to let Gongsun Kang withdraw from Changli.

"Command the lieutenant general of the army to go to the main tent of the Chinese army." Lu Bu ordered.

Two quarters of an hour later, the generals from all departments gathered in the Chinese army's tent.
