King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 97 Critical Moments
It has been a while since Li Lin came to the city of Xiangping, but he never attacked the city once, nor did he siege the city at all. This Gongsundu's army is also really honest. They camped and garrisoned outside the north gate and west gate. At the beginning, the brothers called for battle to attack the city, especially Yan Rou and Yan Zhi. He was stubborn, because he felt that he had lost the battle, so he actively challenged the battle and wanted to win the first victory.

Li Lin disagreed. At first, he said that the long-distance fatigue of the army was not suitable for attacking the city. Later, he said that the newly recruited soldiers in the army should get used to it first, and get used to the old soldiers of their own side. .

The generals were speechless until Li Lin's old father-in-law, the King of Goguryeo, led them to Xiangping City. Now the number of combined troops of the two families has surpassed Gongsun Du's army. It stands to reason that the chance of success in attacking the city is very high. It's big, but Li Lin still doesn't allow sending troops to attack the city, but went to see his father-in-law.

"Greetings to King Guochuan (I can't find the name of the King of Goguryeo, anyway, the king of Goguryeo was probably called like this in this period, and then King Dongchuan, King of the Mountain, this Xiaolin is not sure, waiting for the great god to correct me)!" Li Lin respectfully In front of a man with a beard and a hunchback, if you don't see some gray hair on the temples, you really can't tell the age of this person. This is the King of Goguryeo.

"Hahaha, son-in-law, don't be polite. Since you and my daughter are engaged, then just call me Yuezhang. Although we are not of the same race, I still respect the etiquette of the Han people very much!" King Goguryeo saw Li Lin , I also like my future son-in-law very much. Although Li Lin looks like a scholar in clothes now, the king of Goguryeo really likes the appearance of this scholar. Hey......... Isn't it always a country bumpkin looking for a cultured man since ancient times? people…………

"Oh, the son-in-law is welcome, father..." Li Lin said that the king of Goguryeo was very happy when he called his father, and he was not used to the way of guarding around him at that time, and his brows were tightly frowned.

"Father, these are some greeting gifts brought by my son-in-law, and I hope my father will accept them with a smile!" Li Lin waved his hand, and four people came in outside, carrying two boxes of golden pancakes, cloth, and soap. It is almost half of Li Lin's betrothal gift to King Goguryeo.

Who doesn't love money, Li Lin has grasped this very well. When the King of Goguryeo saw these things, his face was full of smiles, and he quickly said to Li Lin very politely, "Hey, they are all from my own family. Bring so many things!" With a wave of his hand, someone took it down, and King Goguryeo hurriedly called Li Lin to sit down.

King Goguryeo looked at Li Lin and said, "Little son-in-law, you invited me to attack Gongsun Du at this moment, but I saw that Gongsun Du couldn't hold on tightly. How can you fight this battle? Your son-in-law!"

Li Lin smiled and said, "Hehe, father, wouldn't it be better if Gongsundu can't hold on tightly, and it will save us trouble. As long as we take down Xiangping City, the largest city in Liaodong, Gongsundu will die." , Liaodong belongs to you and my father and son!"

When King Goguryeo heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "Okay! I just like to think of someone as bold as my son-in-law, son-in-law, I have brought an army of [-] at this moment, don't worry, this king of Xiangping City will definitely win Already!"

Immediately, King Goguryeo changed his tone and said, "However, this Xiangping City was defeated, this..."

Li Lin quickly said with a smile, "don't worry, father, no matter whoever attacks Xiangping City, you, my father and son, it belongs to you, and after the Xuanzhe County on the back is attacked, it belongs to you, too. When I am filial to my father, the best gift!"

King Goguryeo patted the table with a smile and shouted, "Okay! The son-in-law is so happy, then the king will not dawdle. I will understand the siege tomorrow!"

Li Lin got up quickly, bowed down and said, "Then thank you, Father!"

King Goguryeo laughed loudly, and hurriedly asked someone to prepare a banquet, and greeted Li Lin to have a big meal.

At night, Li Lin was almost carried out of the Goguryeo camp by Fang Fang, but just as Fang Fang gave Li Lin a carriage, Li Lin's originally dazed eyes suddenly stared, and his complexion gradually improved. , also returned to normal.

Fang Fang said strangely, "So son, you didn't drink too much?"

Li Lin smiled and shook his head and said, "Hmph! It's just this broken wine, and you still want to drink more of me, grandma!" Li Lin is actually not very good at drinking, but the wine of the Han Dynasty is really every degree, and it can't be included in the TV series. One drink is a few jars, and the stomach is full......

Fang Fang hurriedly called back to the camp, Li Lin lay in the carriage, surrounded by Fang Fang's guards and slowly returned to the camp, Li Lin also sobered up in the carriage.

It was already very late when we arrived at Daying, but Li Lin hurriedly called all the soldiers, this time Li Lin was not as careless as before...

"Brothers, from now on is the real moment for us to attack Liaodong. Everything in the past has been paving the way for us. The time is fleeting, so I hope the general will listen to my next words!" Although Li Lin still has some He smelled of alcohol, but looked serious, not drunk at all.

The soldiers beside him also knew that Li Lin was serious now, and immediately said in unison, "No!"

Li Lin looked at the map in front of him and said, "I have already discussed with the King of Goguryeo. Our gate will continue to stay outside the north gate and west gate where we have been stationed, and the King of Goguryeo will attack the south gate and the east gate. We don't want this." If they intervene, they won't care about us, they just use the notification every day, and both sides fight their own way."

Li Lin suddenly showed evil eyes. When everyone thought that Li Lin was about to issue an order for a big siege plan, Li Lin said, "But we are doing a feint outside the two gates, and we don't work hard. All the pressure comes from Goguryeo soldiers." Go fight!"

"Ah? Then why are we so many troops here?" Yan Rou asked strangely, the expressions on the faces of the rest of them were both the same and different.

Li Lindao: "In the first few days we have to put on a stance, but that is just a feint, try to avoid casualties, and the North Gate, Xu Liang, I want you to send troops out of the camp every day in the middle of the night, and find a hidden place to take them with you after you go out for five days." Within five days, 5000 soldiers and horses will be quietly sneaked out, and Ximen and Ziyi are the same. They will quietly take out 1 soldiers within five days! Although you transferred 2 people, every time the army cooks with The stove remains the same, it is still the stove used by nearly [-] people!"

The two explained their surprise, "Yuan Jie (General)! You are..."

Li Lin smiled, "Hahaha, haven't you guys been going crazy for the past few days? If you want to fight, let your elder brother do it this time! Pass the order!"

The soldiers below said in unison, "The end is here!"

"Here's an order to command Xu Liang to lead [-] troops to quickly take down Xuanju County in the north, and Tai Shici to lead [-] soldiers to take down Changli County in the west!" Li Lin ordered.

The two were overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately said "No!"

Originally, everyone in the room looked better, but after a while, they all changed...

"General, Ziyi and I took away 8000 soldiers, so there are less than [-] people left in the camp under Xiangping City? What should I do if I find out about Goguryeo?" Xu Liang asked anxiously.

Li Lin smiled and put on a reassuring look, "Not only did I let you take away [-] soldiers, but I also let you take away most of our elites, all of whom were veterans we brought from Le Lang. Whether or not the three counties of Liaodong can be successfully taken down depends on you two! And on my side, hahaha, with me in charge, it is more effective than your [-] soldiers! Don't worry, go down and arrange it!"

Although the two of them still had some worries, Li Lin had always been able to come up with a lot of superb methods, so he said "No!" and hurried down to make arrangements.

"Hey...Xu Liang, go slowly!" Li Lin stopped Xu Liang and let Tai Shici go first.

Xu Liang came over and asked, "General, is there anything else?"

Li Lin smiled and said, "Hehe, I almost forgot a more important thing. Right now, there is another very important thing for you to do!"

Xu Liang bowed, "General orders!"

"Hehe, this Xuanju is actually a small county, and there are not many soldiers and horses, but I asked you to bring 5000 people, do you know why?"

Xu Liang thought for a while and said slowly, "Could it be to guard against the Xianbei people in the north?"

Li Lin nodded and said, "I'm half right. I not only want you to guard against the Xianbei people, but I also want you to curry favor with the Xianbei people. The Gongsun family still has great prestige in Xianbei. Let's take down Gongsun Du's Xuanju." , Maybe they also want to get a share of the pie, or they want to directly intervene to grab us, help Gongsundu or something, but how can the meat we eat so easily make people, and we can't fight head-on with the Xianbei people, these nonsense People value profit, so I want to tell you, get on good terms with them, don't be afraid to spend money, as long as they can trust us, you can ask Hao Wen for advice on this point, or let him help you. I still have a lot of use for this Xianbei man right now, it's up to you!"

Xu Liang felt very embarrassed when he heard this, but the general ordered that even if he let himself die, he would be obliged to do so. Xu Liang immediately said, "The last general takes orders, and I promise to do it well!"

Li Lin waved his hand, making his heart go down quickly.

Then Li Linyou told the remaining Yan Rou and Yan Zhi, "You two are in charge of the North Gate and the West Gate respectively. No one has [-] soldiers and horses. Train me well every day. If you are anxious to attack the city, if the King of Goguryeo Inviting to attack the city, you can just go up and act casually, but don't be too fake!"

Yan Rou, Yan Zhi looked embarrassed, and put on a bitter face as if Li Lin was embarrassing them. Li Lin said angrily, "What? You are still not willing, such a good job?"
