following day
In the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Yi sat on the City Lord's seat, looking down at the commanders of the Meng Army, Meng Shan, Li Cunxiao, and the Sui General Liu Yu. His index finger lightly tapped on the stool, as if he was thinking about something!
At this moment, Yang Yi had already summoned all the Meng Army. After deducting the losses from attacking Liaodong City, the number of Meng Army soldiers in Liaodong City had reached 95,000!
Even if the King of Goguryeo were to send out his entire army, he would still be unable to take down this city. With the large amount of rations left behind by the Sui army, Yang Yi wouldn't need to worry about rations for the time being!
Therefore, at this moment, Yang Yi could relax a little and discuss the next move with his generals!
At this moment, Goguryeo's first line of defense had been breached, while the second line of defense was in one of Goguryeo's three capitals, the city of Peking!
As one of the three capitals, although it was not as easy to defend and attack as Liaodong City, it was also not simple. It was very difficult to take down the city as easily as breaking through Liaodong City. Otherwise, Emperor Yang Guang would not have failed consecutively!
As for Liaodong City, if it wasn't for the carelessness of the city guards and the fact that Li Cunxiao had led the 5,000 Meng family soldiers into the city, they wouldn't have been able to take it down so easily!
This was also the reason why General Liu Yu was so shocked!
At this moment, Liu Yu looked at Yang Yi, who was frowning slightly. When he saw that familiar face, he could not help but be shocked!
The speculation that he had given up on before appeared again. However, this time, it was different from before. He had a new guess!
This was because he could see the expression of Emperor Yang Guang from Yang Yi's face!
" Could it be that this general is His Majesty's…"
When Liu Yu guessed this, he did not dare to think anymore. He realized that he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary!
And once his guess came true, the already chaotic situation in Great Sui would become even more complicated!
A young man who was very likely to be the illegitimate son of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty, and one who had a large army in his hands!
He seemed to see the figure of Yang Guang, who had killed his father and brother!
At the thought of this, he suddenly trembled, and a hint of fear flashed across his eyes. Then, he subconsciously looked at Yang Yi. When he realized that Yang Yi didn't care about him, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Although Liu Yu was just an ordinary general of the Sui Dynasty, his identity was not simple. He was once one of the commanders of the imperial guards of the Sui Dynasty. However, after Emperor Yang ascended the throne that year, he took the initiative to leave the imperial guards and became a general in the army in order not to be implicated!
Therefore, he knew very well how bad things could be if his guess was true!
An illegitimate child who had been forgotten outside was now in control of a large number of troops. No one could guarantee that he did not have other thoughts!
Right now, due to Yang Guang's two conquests against Goguryeo and the previous atrocities, there were countless uprisings in Great Sui. However, because Great Sui's army was still present, although there were small disturbances, they did not truly damage the foundations!
However, the other major forces were also waiting for an opportunity!
For example, Taiyuan's Li family, Luoyang's Wang Shichong, etc., they were all waiting for the Great Sui Dynasty to start chaos so that they could take the opportunity to rise up!
Of course, Liu Yu naturally did not know all of this. Otherwise, he would be even more uneasy. After all, he was a general loyal to the Great Sui Dynasty!
……
"Everyone, the purpose of today's gathering is to discuss the continuation of the campaign against Goguryeo!”
"Although we have already taken down the first line of defense, we are still far from completely conquering Goguryeo!”
After a moment, Yang Yi finished his thoughts and said to the Meng Army generals and Li Cunxiao.
For this meeting, Yang Yi had called all the major generals of the Meng Family Army over. One had to know that every major general of the Meng Family Army was a top-notch general, and their command wasn't low!
As the saying goes, three stooges are better than one Zhuge Liang. Moreover, there were some things that he needed to explain to these Meng Army generals, so Yang Yi called them over.
Liu Yu, who had been letting his imagination run wild, was shocked when he heard Yang Yi speak. Then, he forced himself to calm down.
Yang Yi happened to see this scene. After looking at Liu Yu, a strange light flashed in his eyes!
"My lord, this general requests to lead 30,000 Meng troops as the vanguard and help my lord take down the city of Peking!”
Li Cunxiao was the first to stand up and say!
"We are willing to be the vanguard and take down the city of Peking!”
Similarly, the generals of the Meng family army also stepped forward and said!

Thank you!
