Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 321
Under the city of Liaoyang.

After several years of continuous construction, Liaoyang City is not only several times larger than before, but the city wall is also much higher and thicker than before, and its strength even surpasses all the strong cities in the Central Plains that Lu Zhihai has seen.

"Li Fei built Liaoyang City so magnificently and solidly in just a few years, hum!" Lu Zhihai's face was very indifferent. He attacked all the way from Liaoxi City to Liaoyang City, and he lost 4000 troops.

However, apart from the [-] cavalry that made him feel a little heartbroken, the other [-] soldiers were just recruits who had been continuously recruited a few months ago. He didn't pay attention to them. After all, the core strength he really relied on It was the [-] Baizhan Modao Army left behind in Anlu Mountain, and it is not damaged at all.

As long as this city of Liaoyang is breached again, Anton's Protectorate will be in his pocket, and Li Fei's foundation will be destroyed. His Majesty must be overjoyed!
"Prepare to attack the city!" Lu Zhihai gave the order.
-
Dengzhou coast.

Yesterday, more than 25 refugees and anti-army Han captives were all emigrated across the sea to the Liaodong Peninsula.

All of a sudden, the Anton Protectorate's Mansion had a population of more than 25.

Li Fei and the [-] Anton cavalry in Dengzhou finally relaxed, and there was no longer any drag.

"Have the rebels reached the city of Liaoyang?" Li Fei's eyes flickered coldly, and although there was a little nervousness in his heart, he was more confident.

After several years of his construction, Liaoyang City has not only expanded several times, the walls have become higher and thicker, and there are also many secret weapons stored. If Lu Zhihai's rebel army dared to attack Liaoyang City, he would definitely want Lu Zhihai's rebel army to take a bite blood teeth.

"Send the order, the whole army is ready to cross the sea!" According to the original strategy, Li Fei will take the [-] Anton cavalry around him across the Bohai Sea, attack the Pinglu Taoist Palace and rule Pingzhou City, and then capture the Pinglu Tao. This led to the retreat of Lu Zhihai's rebels who had already reached the city of Liaoyang.

As Li Fei's order was passed on, the [-] Anton cavalry began to make preparations hastily.

On the surface of the Bohai Strait, Zheng Hai's fleet has transported the last batch of refugees to the coastal port and is heading back to Dengzhou City.

At the same time, Hebei, Hedong, Henan, Jianghuai, and even Lingwu have all learned that An Lushan ordered [-] rebels from Pinglu Dao to attack the Andong Protectorate.

Several prefectures such as Qinghe and Pingyuan in Hebei, which are still under the control of Datang, breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, they could only barely hold on, and they were always afraid that the rebels would increase the strength of Hebei. The [-] rebels in Pinglu Road are an anti-army force that can reinforce Hebei at any time. If the [-] rebels went south to reinforce Hebei, Qinghe, Pingyuan and other barely-holding prefectures might not be able to hold on.

On the east side, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi have reunited in Taiyuan City, and are confronting Cui Qianyou, Cai Xide, Shi Siming and other anti-army forces.They were also slightly relieved to hear that the [-] rebels from Pinglu Dao sent their troops to the northeast to attack Andong Dufu. They were also afraid that the [-] rebels from Pinglu Dao would come to reinforce Hedong. Great increase, they want to regain the east road, fearing that there will be many more variables.

As for Jianghuai and Henan Province, the generals of Henan Province looked at each other in blank dismay.

Suiyang Zhang Xun also frowned. He didn't like the anti-army, and he didn't like Li Fei either. He always felt that Li Fei might become the same person as An Lushan in the future, but Li Fei still helped everyone One of Tang's forces against the rebels.

Once the rebel army wins, successfully captures Liaoyang City and the Protectorate of Andong, and captures Li Fei's wife and children, they may turn to threaten Li Fei to surrender to the rebel army, and the rebel army's strength will definitely increase by then.Therefore, he didn't know whether he should expect the rebels to win, the capture of the Anton Protectorate Mansion would cut off Li Fei's foundation, or whether he should expect the Anton Protectorate Mansion to repel the rebels.

As for Lingwu, Suzong Li Heng, Li Fuguo and others were very happy after hearing the news. They didn't have Zhang Xun's worries. They just wanted to see Li Fei and An Lushan "dog bite dog". Seeing that Li Fei's Anton lair was destroyed by the rebels, it is best for the rebels to kill Li Fei's wife and children together.

However, regardless of which side, all eyes were on Li Fei who was in Daodengzhou, Henan, and they wanted to see Li Fei's reaction.

Especially the generals of Henan Province, people from other places may not know what Li Fei is doing in Dengzhou, but they are in Henan Province, which is the closest to Dengzhou, so they know that Li Fei brought 20 refugees and [-] The anti-army Han captives crossed the sea from Dengzhou to the Anton Governor's Mansion. They thought that Li Fei would also cross the sea and return with Anton's cavalry.

The generals of Henan Road guessed half right. Li Fei was indeed going to cross the sea with An Dong's cavalry, but instead of returning to An Dong's Protectorate, he pointed directly at Pingzhou City and the entire Pinglu Road.

Another day later, on October [-], the first year of Emperor Suzong's Zhide, Zheng Hai's fleet transported the last batch of refugees to Liaodong seaside port, and returned to the coast of Dengzhou.

One hundred sea ships can transport 8000 refugees at a time, but the Anton Iron Knights not only have a full set of weapons and armor, but also horses.Transporting [-] people at one time is the limit, and the [-] Anton cavalry may have to be transported in three times.

"Board!" Li Fei ordered the first batch of Anton cavalry to start boarding.

Before the Shanhaiguan was established in later generations, Pingzhou City had always been an important town guarding the entrance of the Shanhai Corridor. Sitting in Pingzhou City, although the Shanhai Corridor could not be directly blocked, anyone who wanted to pass through the Shanhai Corridor would be under the supervision of Pingzhou City. , and the army dispatched from Pingzhou City can block the Shanhai Corridor at any time.Controlling Pingzhou City is equivalent to controlling the mountain-sea corridor, controlling the roads in and out of Andong Duhufu, Youzhou, and Hebei.

"Set sail!" The first batch of [-] Anton cavalry boarded the ship, and the fleet began to set sail.

The distance from Dengzhou to the coast near Pingzhou City is farther than the distance to the Liaodong Peninsula. It may take nearly two days of sailing at sea to get there.

Two days later, the first batch of [-] Anton cavalry landed on the coast eighty miles south of Pingzhou City.

Zhan Tao is one of the many seasick members of the Eight Thousand Anton Cavalry.He felt that his yellow bile was about to be vomited out, and his feet were fluttering. Although he landed on the shore, he could hardly even ride on the back of a horse.

Zhan Tao was glad that he was the first batch of people to cross the sea and land, because when the next two batches of Anton's cavalry also landed, there would be at least six or seven days to relax each time, otherwise he would kill the enemy just after landing, and he would not even raise his sword. Do not move.

"Send the order, the scouts should disperse for ten miles, and the rebels must not be informed of the news of our army's cross-sea landing in advance!" It was Lu Xin who landed with the first batch of eight thousand Anton cavalry. As early as when he was on board, Lu Xin He selected a group of soldiers who were not seasick to form a scout team. As soon as he landed, he ordered the scout team to spread the word and block the news.

After landing all the first batch of [-] Anton cavalry ashore, Zheng Hai led the fleet back to Dengzhou again, preparing to transport the second batch of Anton cavalry across the sea.
