Chapter 249 Chapter Fourteen

Liaodong
Jinxian
The sun was shining brightly and the sky was cloudless.

The Liaodong soldiers on the city wall were sleeping soundly as before, and several soldiers were chattering.

Suddenly, a lot of people came out of the valley in the distance.

clang clang-

"Enemy attack, prepare for battle!"

An officer shouted loudly on the city wall and rang the bell in his hand.

Gradually, all the soldiers woke up from their afternoon nap and cheered up quickly.

Since Wei Qinghuo Qubing defeated the Huns, Liaodong has not been invaded by foreign enemies for more than 200 years.

The direction of Wuhuan's invasion has always been Liaoxi County and Yuyang County, and the direction of Xianbei's invasion is even further to the west, while the Fuyu people in the Liaohe swamp area have been single-handedly, and he will not beat others if others do not attack him.

Which force is it?Will come to fight Liaodong?
When the soldiers of Liaodong County on the city wall were observing the strange enemies under the city wall, those people under the city wall were also observing the soldiers of Liaodong County on the city wall.

These people are the Goguryeo people.

They have been independent since the Xinmang period, and then took advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains to annex most of Xuantu County for decades, and then spent decades annexing Woju people, and just defeated Fuyu a few years ago people, forcing Fuyu people to surrender to Goguryeo.

Immediately, differences occurred within Goguryeo in the direction of expansion.

Some nobles advocate expanding to the warmer Liaodong region, because Liaodong is more suitable for survival, while some nobles advocate expanding to Lelang County, because Lelang County is far away from the center of the Han Dynasty, and it is difficult for the Han Dynasty to guard this remote place.

In the end, Goguryeo's grand king [Palace] made a decision to expand to Liaodong. There were as many as [-] people on this expedition, all of whom were brave warriors of Goguryeo.

"Your Majesty, do you want to attack the city?" a nobleman in Goguryeo asked.

"Try it first and see if the Liaodong County soldiers who haven't been in contact with foreign enemies for hundreds of years have combat effectiveness. What if they have no combat effectiveness and are frightened by us to abandon the city and flee?" Goguryeo's Grand Palace said wildly.

"Ha ha!"

The rest of the Goguryeo soldiers also laughed. Since the founding of the country, they have fought continuously for 100 years. Every Goguryeo soldier was trained in the sea of ​​corpses and blood.

"kill!"

Thousands of Goguryeo warriors carried crude ladders made by themselves to attack Jinxian County.

at the same time
Liaodong County
"Goguryeo is attacking suddenly, you all go to defend the city with me." Wang Huang, the prefect of Liaodong, said to the officials.

"Your Majesty is a man of gold, so don't take any risks, just let us go." Liaodong's master advised him from the side.

"I am the governor of Liaodong. If I don't show up in front of the soldiers, they will lose their morale. Once the morale is gone, the city will be in danger!" Wang Huang shook his head and said, and then ignored everyone's objections, and led the soldiers, big and small, in the county mansion. The officials boarded the city wall and encouraged the Liaodong soldiers guarding the city: "This prefect is with all the soldiers, kill the enemy and serve the country!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Seeing that the prefect did not run ahead of time, but climbed up the city wall to fight side by side with them, the morale of the Han soldiers on the city wall was greatly boosted.

After another three rounds of attack, the Goguryeo warriors carrying crude ladders withdrew.

"It seems that the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong soldiers has not been completely lost, and they cannot be defeated by a hard attack."

Looking at the high morale of the Han soldiers on the city wall, the Goguryeo Grand Palace shook its head, gave up the idea of ​​giving away the head by force, and instead ordered the nobles: "Don't worry about this city, let them stay in the city and eat the mountain, We bypassed the city of Jin County and went directly to the hinterland of Liaodong to plunder."

After a long time, the order of the King of Goguryeo was conveyed to all parties, and the Goguryeo soldiers, led by their nobles, went directly around the city and marched towards the hinterland of Liaodong.

"No, they are going to plunder the hinterland of Liaodong!" Seeing the movement of the Goguryeo people, Wang Huang immediately guessed what the place was thinking.

There were only 500 soldiers in Liaodong, of which 1000 were stationed in Gaoxian Township to guard against the Southern Huns who had just migrated over, 500 were stationed in the garrison town of Jin County, and the other 40 were scattered in various towns to guard against some bandits. On average, there are no more than [-] people in each township, which is impossible to resist the tens of thousands of Goguryeo troops.

But he, Wang Huang, couldn't leave Jin County, because Jin County was next to Goguryeo. Once the soldiers in Jin County left, Jin County would immediately fall.

"Hurry back and inform the four major families. Now, only our four major families can send out their own private soldiers to resist these Goguryeo troops." Wang Huang, the prefect of Liaodong, ordered his master book, which was originally the Wang family. A servant of Wang Huang used the prefect's power to enlist him as the master book because of his reliable work.

"Urgent information, Goguryeo suddenly raised tens of thousands of troops, bypassing Jin County, and directly invaded our defenseless hinterland in Liaodong." Jiacheng held a temporary meeting and called nine family officials to discuss the Goguryeo invasion.

Due to the sudden occurrence of the incident, there was no time to convene a council for all family members to discuss. The results could only be discussed by a dozen or so high-level family members in their council hall, and then implemented, and the results of the discussion were submitted to the council.

"What's the situation with the other three families?"

"I don't know, they probably just received the news."

"Goguryeo invaded Liaodong, and the Lu family was the first to bear the brunt. I hope the Lu family can resist for a while."

"Can't our Liaodong county soldiers be transferred?"

"There are no extra county soldiers to mobilize, and every county soldier has been used to the limit."

"Quickly mobilize all the soldiers, and then spend money to temporarily recruit some village braves. First, we can resist Goguryeo's attack."

"At the same time, send envoys to the Governor's Department of Youzhou to report the matter to the Governor, and ask the imperial court to quickly recruit reinforcements from the surrounding counties."

"When it was reported, it was said that Goguryeo might have [-] troops, so that the imperial court would take care of it and mobilize reinforcements to support us as soon as possible."

"I'll make arrangements right now."

"Goguryeo's [-] troops invaded Liaodong?"

After receiving the news from the envoy of Liaodong County, the governor of Youzhou was very surprised, and he quickly wrote: Goguryeo's [-] troops invaded Liaodong.

After finishing writing, he asked the envoy of the Ministry of History to go to Luoyang to report the matter to the imperial court.

After the envoy left, the governor of Youzhou hurriedly worried about his subordinate officials and made arrangements for them.

"Immediately notify the nearest Liaoxi County, Yuyang County, and Lelang County, and let them quickly recruit county soldiers to go to Liaodong."

"promise!"

All the clerks agreed to leave one after another.

Since Emperor Guangwu abolished the standing army of the county, the current county has changed from the conscription system to the recruitment system. Once an emergency military situation is encountered, the local prefect will temporarily recruit soldiers to fight.

And it's not a general recruitment system, it's a lifelong recruitment system. Once a person is recruited as a county soldier by the prefect with money, he has to be a county soldier for the rest of his life. This is how the [-] county soldiers in Liaodong came, which is equivalent to a one-time buyout.

After everything was arranged properly, the governor of Youzhou couldn't help muttering to himself: "What is the origin of this Goguryeo, there is an army of [-]?"
