Li Yin looked at Yu Qian's battle report.
During winter, although Yizhi Wende sent a small group of soldiers to harass them, there was no army pressing down on them.
There was no other reason.
It was because Yizhi Wende felt that he would not be able to conquer Liaodong City for some time.
Winter would be a huge test for the logistics of the army and the combat quality of the soldiers.
After all, Liaodong City had been an important city of Goguryeo, so Eji Wende naturally had a deep understanding of the city's reserves.
He knew very well that with the grain piled up in Liaodong City, it would be very difficult to attack in winter.
Therefore, they decided on a plan.
That was to surround them without attacking!
When spring came and the temperature rose again, the soldiers no longer had to endure the cold weather.
At the same time, the food in Liaodong City must have been almost exhausted.
In this way, he could take them down in one fell swoop!
Just as the temperature began to rise, Yizhi Wende began to attack several times.
Goguryeo had suffered significant losses, and so had Liaodong City.
After all, they weren't Empyrean Gods.
Although individual combat was extremely powerful, when a large army fought against an enemy that was several times their number, there would always be casualties.
The 300,000 soldiers that Goguryeo had gathered in Liaodong City were not for nothing.
Li Yin tapped his forehead lightly with his fingers.
"Pass down the order."
"Send out twenty thousand Bei Wei Army and ten thousand Snowy Dragon Cavalry to Liaodong City.”
"Support Yu Qian and the others."
"At the same time, send all the weapons and armor produced during this period of time to Liaodong City and let Yu Qian recruit the people of Liaodong City.”
"Also, send the new battle flag over.”
"Go ahead."
Li Yin instructed.
Shen Lian immediately went down to execute it.
Li Yin gently pinched the bridge of his nose.
He leaned back comfortably in his chair and opened the System Map.
In the past few months, he had also signed in.
However, the rewards were not very good.
"When are you going to Liaodong City to sign in?”
Li said to himself.
"We should go over there and take a look."
············
A few days later, Liaodong City.
This massive military fortress was like a lion that cut across the heavens and earth, separating the Great Tang and Goguryeo.
However, the strange thing was that this giant city did not belong to these two countries.
Instead, it belonged to Grand Xia.
In the city.
The people came and went, and it was still bustling.
Even though the Goguryeons were surrounding the city, Liaodong City was still relatively well-stocked.
Until now, under the new provincial governor's arrangements, everything was in order.
Liaodong City's yamen.
Yu Qian, Yu Huatian, Yue Fei, Wang Shouren, and Xin Qiji sat around the table.
They discussed strategies.
"His Majesty has already given the order."
"Send another twenty thousand Wei Back Army and ten thousand Snowy Dragon Cavalry.”
"At the same time, there are also our weapons and armor.”
"With these, not only can we strengthen our current military strength, but we can also recruit new blood from the people of Liaodong City.”
"Your Majesty has really solved our urgent problem.”
Yu Qian said with a smile.
"Good!"
Yue Fei slammed the table heavily.
"If that's the case, we can charge out and take the initiative to find Yizhi Wende.”
During this period of time, due to the limited number of troops.
Even if they occupied Liaodong City, they could only defend passively.
But now, everything had turned around.
Wang Shouren, Xin Qiji, and the others also rubbed their hands together.
He was ready.
"Oh, right."
"Yanyun City is still quite a distance away from us.”
"Do we need to go out of the city to welcome them?"
Shouren Wang said in a deep voice.
"No need."
"Our forces are not as many as the reinforcements this time.”
"At that time, we only need to open the city gates.”
"Hehehe…"
"I heard that His Majesty is also developing new weapons in Yanyun City.”
" The name seems to be Grenade."
"When the research is done, we must ask His Majesty to send a batch over.”
Yu Qian said casually.
With Yanyun City's support, the pressure on his body was greatly reduced.
·············
Goguryeo.
Dong 'an City.
This was where Yizhi Wende was stationed.
Not far from Liaodong City.
"General, His Majesty is urging us again.”
"Lord Yeon Gaesomun has also sent another letter, urging us to take Liaodong City as soon as possible.”
Yizhi Wende was looking at the map.
A deputy general walked in with a battle order.
Yizhi Wende raised his head.
Looking at the battle order that came from behind, he chuckled and casually threw it on the table.
"Tell them that it will be soon."
"Liaodong City has already been besieged by us for more than two months. It's been an entire winter, and not a single soldier has helped them.”
"I've already thoroughly investigated this group of people.”
"They're just a bunch of bandits."
"Now, the resources in the city must have been almost exhausted. It won't be long before they collapse on their own!”
"Liaodong City will be ours sooner or later.”
"In that case, why attack the city? It was not a loss to leave more soldiers alive.”
Yizhi Wende was full of confidence.
If this group of people had backup during the two months of siege, they would have definitely thought of ways to help.
However, he didn't!
Thus, Yizhi Wende was certain that Liaodong City was an isolated city.
It was easy to take them down.
Of course, he still had one more concern, and that was to prevent the Great Tang from attacking.
However, this possibility was very small.
Right now, the Great Tang did not want to have any friction with Goguryeo.
Therefore, Liaodong City was under his control.
The deputy general nodded.
"General, you have divine foresight and control over the entire situation.”
"How could His Majesty and Yeon Gaesomun understand?”
"Milord, I'll go and distract the soldiers.”
The deputy general left.
Yizhi Wende stretched.
He walked out of the room.
He looked up at the sun.
The weather was already very warm.
"Liaodong City!"
"It's time to come back."
"No one can stop me.”
Yizhi Wende looked in the direction of Liaodong City and muttered.
············
The Great Tang.
Hebei Road.
Youzhou City.
Hejian King Li Xiaogong stood on the city wall and looked in the direction of Liaodong City.
"Two months and you still haven't found any news?”
Li Xiaogong's eyes were deep.
"King Hejian, not yet!”
"Liaodong City is like an iron plate. No matter what method our spies used, they were discovered.”
"For this, we lost many elite scouts.”
"Liaodong City seems to have an organization that specializes in guarding against spies.”
"In addition, the Goguryeon spies reported that Eji Wende and the others don't know the exact identity of the person inside.”
"I just confirmed that Liaodong City is really an isolated city.”
"We didn't receive any support in the past two months.”
"Yizhi Wende has been besieging us and hasn't attacked, but the weather is getting warmer. I reckon that they will be arriving at Liaodong City soon.”
the deputy general reported.
Li Xiaogong nodded.
"Send this news back to Chang 'an.”
"Lonely City."
"Interesting."
The deputy general left.
Li Xiaogong gently patted the battlements with both hands.
"Who are these people?"
"Are they really bandits?"
"He robbed a city?"
Li Xiaogong shook his head.
To be honest, he didn't quite believe it.
However, it really happened.
During this period of time, he could be said to have dug three feet into the ground, but he still could not find the origin.
Perhaps they were really a group of powerful bandits.
"However, this joke should end now.”
"It's almost April."
"Liaodong City's reserves are probably almost depleted.”
"Yizhi Wende, it's time to act."
"You people, why don't you live a good life?”
"Why are you courting death?"
"Even if we can take over Liaodong City, do you think we can defeat Goguryeo and claim ourselves as king?”
Li Xiaogong looked at Liaodong City and smiled.
