    There were many things going on in Nanyang. Huang Mingcong stayed in Lushun for three days before preparing to go to Korea City, and then transfer from Korea City back to Rinan.  Before leaving, Huang Mingcong left his eldest son Wei Song behind in Liaodong.  Because of the name Wei Yang, the brothers were ranked with the character Wei.  Weisong is twelve years old this year and was born in the second year of Renshou.

    Huang Mingcong was determined to keep his eldest son, on the grounds that his eldest son had grown up in a barbaric land and might not be accustomed to the etiquette of the Central Plains, no matter how much Huang Mingyuan persuaded him.

    Huang Mingyuan understood his younger brother's intention, but in the end he couldn't defeat him, so he agreed to the matter.

    Although there are literati in the land of Nanyang, they do lack some well-educated people. Weisong, as the smart eldest son, is also brave and knowledgeable, but lacks literary talent. He is much worse than his cousins ??in cultural classes.  Being a general is fine, but being his younger brother's heir is somewhat lacking.  Huang Mingyuan then left Weisong in Xiangping to study in the newly established Piyong Academy.

    Although Wei Song has a strong personality and great courage, he also knows not to offend this uncle who even his father is afraid of.  Because he didn't want to come to Liaodong, he had been beaten countless times by his own father, so he didn't dare to go home again.

    Everything in Liaodong moved him and was novel, especially this feared uncle who never hit anyone, so Weisong was quite happy with him.  If there was anything bad about it, it was a bit cold here, although he still didn't understand what cold meant.  Therefore, Liaodong is not a bad place for Weisong for the time being.

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    Wei Song was a child, and his life in Liaodong quickly got on the right track. Huang Mingyuan was busy with affairs all day long and couldn't take care of him.

    On the fifth day after Huang Mingyuan returned to Liaodong, news came from the north, and he was overjoyed about the great victory.

    When Huang Mingyuan attacked Wugu City, Huang Mingzhen also led the Liaodong left and right armies, right Houwei, Youtunwei and part of the navy, totaling 100,000 troops, to attack the new city.

    Because the Sui army and the Goguryeo army faced each other across the Xiaoliao River, the focus of the two sides' attacks was the new city-Fushun City line.  Among them, Huang Mingzhen led the main force with a total of 60,000 infantry and more than 10,000 naval troops stationed in Fushun City; while General Guo Rong of the Youtun Guards led the Youtun Guards and the Youhou Guards and was stationed in Shenyang City.

    Shenyang City is a garrison city built by Huang Mingzhen at the beginning of the year north of Xiaoliao River.  As a sharp knife, it was pressed against the waist of the Goguryeo people.

    Shenyang City has existed for a long time. In 300 AD, General Qin Kai of the State of Yan led his army to expel Donghu and built a waiting city here, which was the military frontier and a lookout city.  Its transportation network extends in all directions, connecting Daxian and Pingguo to the west; Gouzedu, Yang'andu, Baigengdu and Youchengdu to the north; Shangxiazhang to the south; Erlong Lake Ancient City and Zhenfanzhang fortress to the east.  After this place was renovated this year, it was named Shenyang, which means the sun of sinking water (i.e. Xiaoliao River).

    Attacking from Shenyang, you can directly bypass Xincheng, the important town of Goguryeo, and go directly to Kaiyuan City.  It even threatens Buyeo City as far north as possible.

    From Fuyu City to Kaiyuan, we are located in a plain, so the journey is smooth.

    After the Sui army rebuilt Shenyang City, they immediately shocked the Goguryeo people.

    Yuan Taizuo was naturally able to see the key points of Shenyang City, so he immediately ordered General Andal to attack Shenyang City and be sure to completely destroy this Sui army stronghold that came forward.

    Andal was originally the guard of Xincheng. Because he belonged to Jiang Yishi's lineage, he was suppressed by Yuan Taizuo after he was subordinated to Yuan Taizuo. He was promoted and secretly deprived of his position as the city lord of Xincheng. Instead, he wanted to come to Shenyang City to eat.  Snow.

    The Sui army used the ice to quickly build the city of Shenyang.  Although it was isolated to the north of the Xiaoliao River, the Sui army controlled the entire Xiaoliao River, and all supplies could be efficiently transported to Shenyang.

    At that time, the guard of Shenyang City was Wang Fubao, a strong general who was good at guarding.  Andal was blocked by a fortified city, lost his troops and generals, and failed to capture the city after attacking for more than two months.

    Later, Huang Mingyuan went to Liaodong again. Andal was afraid and worried that Yuan Taizuo would kill people with a borrowed knife, so he led his troops back to the new city in the name of running out of food.

    After Andal returned to the new city, Yuan Taizuo blamed Andal for not trying his best and failing to break the city.  Andal retorted, "If someone can defeat Shenyang City, he is willing to be punished."

    Yuan Taizuo was speechless for a moment.  There were nearly 20,000 troops in Shenyang City. There were hundreds of trebuchets of various types in the city, and there were direct supports from the Sui army through the Xiaoliao River.  If you want to break the city, you must have three or four times more troops.  How could Yuan Taizuo have so many troops, and it was impossible for the Sui army to just watch the Goguryeo people besiege Shenyang.

    In fact, in the past few months, there have been no major battles between Xincheng and Fushun City, but small battles.  The Sui army took advantage of the naval force and repeatedly invaded the north of the Xiaoliao River, making it impossible to defend against it.  Yuan Taizuo suffered losses many times and could no longer hold himself back.

    Andal was born in Pyongyang and settled down. Although he is not as good as the Yuan family, it is not something that Yuan Taizuo can just follow.?disposed of.  Yuan Taizuo suppressed the matter and did not mention it.

    Andal¡¯s unsuccessful war against Shenyang was Goguryeo¡¯s last active attack on the Sui army in the north.  After that, the Sui army launched a large-scale attack on Goguryeo, with different offensive and defensive trends. Facing the overwhelming Sui army's offensive, Yuan Taizuo had to deal with it passively.

    Before the war, Yuan Taizuo had 150,000 troops, which seemed to be 50,000 more than Huang Mingzhen, giving him a strength advantage.  As a defender, it also occupies the terrain advantage.  But Yuan Taizuo's 150,000 troops had to be dispersed throughout North Goguryeo.

    Yuan Chan, the eldest son of Yuan Taizuo, served as the chief general and led 30,000 troops to guard the domestic city.  His brother Yuan Jiansheng and Gao Jianwu, the younger brother of Goguryeo King Gowon, led ten thousand people to guard Buyeo Castle.  There are also some troops commanded by his wife's brother Meilong to guard northern Xinjiang.  At this time, the army that Yuan Taizuo could command was about 100,000 people.

    The Sui army concentrated its main force in Gaimou City and Shenyang City, with the intention of attacking in two directions.  Yuan Taizuo did not dare to give up on any of these two routes, so he had to spread his few troops thinly and divide his troops to defend.

    At this time, Li Caihao, the general under Yuan Taizuo, suggested that they could concentrate their forces to attack the Shenyang road where the Sui army had fewer soldiers, and then counterattack the Sui army on the Xincheng road.  In addition to the difference in strength between the two groups, the Sui army in Xincheng had Gaimucheng (the Sui army had changed its name to Fushun, and Goguryeo was still called by its original name) as a base for attack and could retreat at any time.  As for Shenyang, we have to leave Shenyang and attack north. The gap is widened and it is easier to be attacked.

    Yuan Taizuo didn¡¯t have any good solution, so he had to agree to Li Caihao¡¯s suggestion.  He left And'er, Dai Lipeng and his general Zuo Yin behind, totaling 40,000 troops, and ordered them to defend the new city.  He led 60,000 troops to attack westward.

    In Yuan Taizuo's view, as long as Anda'er can hold on to the new city for half a month and hold back the main force of the Sui army, he can swallow up the Sui army in the direction of Shenyang and return to the new city.

    Yuan Taizuo was still worried that Andal would not be able to hold on to the new city, but he did not know that in Huang Mingzhen's eyes, the new city was not important, and Yuan Taizuo's headquarters was the dish on the Sui army's table.

    After hearing the news that Yuan Taizuo's main force was heading west, Huang Mingzhen, who had been staying motionless in Fushun, also began to move.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
