The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 849
Since the area of ​​Liaodong is much larger than that of the Liaodong vassal state, there are many places to defend, so Guan Yu has 10,000+ soldiers and horses under his command.Among them, there are about 15 soldiers and horses stationed in Liaodong, Xuantu, and there are only [-] to [-] soldiers and horses in the Liaodong vassal state, about half of the number in Liaodong.

Among them, Guan Yu personally sits in Liaodong, with Xiong Kuohai, Wei Wentong, Li Siyuan, Li Sizhao and other generals under his command.As for the Liaodong vassal state, the main generals were Shi Jiantang, Li Cunmao, Yan Rou, and some former generals under Gongsun Zan's command.

Due to the abnormal behavior of Jurchen's sudden stop of attack, Li Mi realized that this was probably a trick used by Jurchen.Make Guan Yu paralyzed, and thus win the surprise attack.

In history, Guan Yu once carelessly lost Jingzhou, and was deceived by Lu Meng pretending to be sick, and he transferred the troops and horses in Jingzhou to eighty-eight, causing Lu Meng to take the opportunity to attack the empty interior of Jingzhou.

Li Mi knew that Guan Yu was very arrogant. In Guan Yu's view, when the Jurchens stopped attacking, it was because Guan Yu was able to defend him well.If Li Mi only sent someone to send a letter to remind him, Guan Yu would only take it lightly, thinking that Li Mi had underestimated him.

Although Li Mi went north to supervise the battle in person, it would also make Guan Yu unhappy, but Guan Yu has been quite convinced of Li Mi for many years.Even if he was unhappy, Guan Yu still wanted to listen to what he had to say if he came in person.

Li Mi arrived at the Liaodong vassal state first, and reminded Shi Jingtang, Li Cunmao and others to be careful in case of Jurchen soldiers and horses raiding.

Compared with Guan Yu, Li Mi was quite at ease with Shi Jingtang and Li Cunmao. The two had a calm personality and were good at using troops.As long as they garrisoned carefully with the help of the terrain, it would be difficult for the Jurchens to invade Youzhou.

In history, although Shi Jingtang took refuge in Khitan and ceded Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, his ability cannot be denied because of this.When Shi Jingtang was young, he had a calm personality. He admired Li Mu, a famous general in the Warring States Period, and Zhou Yafu, a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty.

And he fought fiercely. In history, he was Li Siyuan's son-in-law and helped Li Siyuan plan for the throne many times.If he hadn't taken refuge in foreign tribes and ceded the stain of foreign aggression, he could be said to be a famous general with courage and strategy.

However, Li Cunmao was brave and good at fighting, and was good at strategy. He succeeded Li Keyong to the throne. During his 15 years on the throne, he attacked Houliang in the south, conquered Khitan in the north, captured Hebei in the east, and merged with Hezhong in the west.

It's just that after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he was obsessed with sensuality, lacked skills in governing the country, employed people inappropriately, condoned the empress's interference in politics, reused actors and eunuchs, avoided killing heroes, imposed excessive taxes, and was stingy with money. He died in the change of Xingjiaomen.

Although Li Cunmao has shortcomings, but without great power, he will not be stupid, so Shi Jingtang and Li Cunmao are both rare generals, brave and resourceful.

Li Mi just gave instructions, and did not inspect the defense, so he left the Liaodong vassal state on the same day and went to Xuanju.

Xuanju County is in the northeast of Liaodong. If you want to win Liaodong, you must take Xuanju, so Guan Yu assembled a heavy army in Xuanju for defense.

Fortunately, the Liaohe River just originated from the northern part of Xuanju County. To the east of Xuanju is the Liaohe River, and to the north is Liaoshan Mountain.

There are only six Xuanju County cities, except for a few soldiers and horses stationed at some precipitous checkpoints in Liaoshan under Guan Yu's command.The rest of the main forces are all stationed in Gaoxian County, the northernmost county in Xuanju.

Since the Jurchen began to show their fangs a few years ago, Li Mi advised Liu Bei to take precautions and expand the counties in the north a few years ago.In particular, the barrier in the north of Xuanzang is very prominent. After several years of construction, it has now become an important military town.

For thousands of years in China, Xiangyang has been the strongest among its cities, and Taiyuan is the most difficult to conquer. Xiangyang has withstood Mongolian attacks for decades.At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Taiyuan resisted Jurchen with a small number of troops and persisted for more than 200 days when the main general Tong Guan led his troops to retreat.

Although the current Gaoxian County is not as large as Xiangyang and the second city of Taiyuan, it is not inferior to Xiangyang and the second city of Taiyuan in terms of strength, height of the city walls, and fortifications.

Li Mi led his trusted guards to come on horseback, cross the moat and arrive at the gate of Gaoxian City.Originally, Gaoxian City was just a small border town without a moat, but for defense, the Liao River was excavated later to divert water from the Liao River to surround Gao County.

A moat is very important to a city. A city with a moat is very different from a city without a moat.

For example, Xiangyang City has a moat over 5000 meters long and a water area of ​​91 square meters.The moat has a maximum width of 250 meters and an average width of 180 meters.

The Xiangyang city moat is known as the largest in the world, and it is the largest moat in the world. It has such a huge capital that it can resist Mongolian attacks for decades.

Although the moat formed by diverting water from the Liao River in Gaoxian City is not as majestic as the Xiangyang moat, its widest point is also 20 meters wide, with an average width of about 40 meters.

Once the enemy came to attack, they first had to go through the moat to reach the city. In this way, the ground below the city was doomed not to accommodate large groups of troops and large-scale equipment attacks.

Knowing that Li Mi was coming, Guan Yu didn't dare to trust him, so he went out of the city to meet him in person.

"Military teacher, why are you here? I haven't seen you for a few months, and I really miss you so much. I don't know how my elder brother and third brother are doing?" Guan Yu pulled Li Mi, and asked kindly.

Although Guan Yu has great flaws, he is the most suitable to be a friend. Once Guan Yu's approval is obtained, he will never abandon him for life.After getting along with Li Mi for several years, he has already been recognized by Guan Yu, and his status is second only to Liu Bei and Zhang Fei in Guan Yu's heart.

The two entered the city hand in hand, Guan Yu had already ordered people to prepare a banquet, and invited Xiong Kuohai, Wei Wentong and others to come to accompany them.

Li Mi looked at Guan Yu and said: "The lord heard the good news that Jurchen stopped attacking temporarily, on the one hand, he sent me to visit, but on the other hand, he asked me to come to supervise."

"Huh? Visiting is fine. What's the point of urging?" Guan Yu put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Li Mi puzzled.

No matter who, there will be flaws, even Zhuge Liang, there are deficiencies in employing people.In Romance, after Liu Bei became king, he was canonized as a general of the five tigers. Guan Yu was furious when he learned that Huang Zhong was one of them.

But Zhuge Liang's approach was to appease, which fueled Guan Yu's arrogance, causing him to gradually become defiant, and eventually he was defeated and died.

However, Li Mi's approach was quite different from that of Zhuge Liang. Li Mi smiled coldly and said, "Yun Chang, why do you write a false report?"

"Ah?" Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, then his face turned cold, and he replied: "Master, you have wronged me. The Jurchen has been attacking Gao Xian for more than three months. Our soldiers fought hard. Since ten days ago, the Jurchen has not attacked again. , isn’t this Jie?”
