"Where did you hear that?"

In the inner city of Goguryeo, in the palace room of the prince Yi Yin Mo, Yi Yin Mo twisted his eyebrows and listened to the report of the spy stationed in Liaodong, his face was gloomy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"The news came out from the officials of the Liaodong County Government, and after the envoy of our country offered gifts to repair Yanbei, the general of Handu Liao, the envoy of the Fuyu State also went to Liaodong, and visited the Koji clan and the Zhen clan of Liaodong County before visiting Taishou, and stayed in Liaodong for more than ten years." The envoy bowed down and bowed down at the foot of the hall, and replied slowly with a respectful expression: "After that, someone heard that when the county officials were drinking, they heard that Liaodong wanted to join forces with Buyeo to attack our country. ”

The spy's words frightened the pampered Yi Yinmo into a cold sweat, and the war between Goguryeo and Buyeo had just begun. Last year, they seized a large area of dangerous land south of the Liaoshan Mountains from the Fuyu Kingdom, and instead seized some advantages in attack and defense in the terrain of the two countries. This year, in order to recover the lost territory, the Buyeo State poured a large army to the important place of Liaoshan, which will inevitably be a protracted war that cannot be attacked for a long time.

The two countries are similar in national strength, and their military strength is slightly weaker, but neither has the ability to put the other to death. At such a time, if Liaodong County joined the battlefield, tore a gap in the battle line from the west of Goguryeo, and attacked under the city of Susheng Gucheng, as it had done last year, it would be able to easily disrupt the grain routes everywhere, and then the war in the north would be in decline due to lack of supplies.

What the alliance between Liaodong County and Buyeo State means, Yi Yinmo knows all too well.

This is unacceptable to him, to Goguryeo.

However, Yi Yinmo still hesitated a little in his heart...... Last year, Yanbei sent people to put more than 700 ears of the border guards into wooden boxes and send them to the domestic city, which frightened him and his father very much. Yi Yinmo is also a lot of people who can't eat, and they always think of the scene of ears full of ears in the entire wooden box under the dim palace lamp.

Fear, understandable.

Most of the positions of the upper echelons come from inheritance rather than swords, and even if the first emperor of the Han Dynasty saw the famous general Huangfu Song standing up with his head in Jizhou, he would be so frightened that he couldn't sleep.

Even though thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers die on the battlefield in the north of Goguryeo every year, it was only a number for the royal family far away in the inner city, and no one dared to show them the corpse or the head.

In fact, their father and son are already good, and ordinary people will tremble with fear when they see a corpse.

The fear of the name Yanbei has been closely linked to the corpse represented by the seven hundred ears.

"Is this news accurate? Could it be a trap set by the Buyeo people to provoke us to attack Liaodong? ”

Although Yi Yinmo also thought that Buyeo would not be so stupid, he still blurted out such words...... In the final analysis, it was because I was afraid of the name Yanbei for no reason in my heart.

It reminded him of the seven hundred ears for no reason.

Volde's spy did not dare to answer, this kind of question was not something his identity could answer.

Yi Yinmo was obviously aware of this problem, waved him back, and sat for a long time in the dim palace in the middle of the night with a calm face, and then made up his mind to go to the palace to meet his father.

"You want to send troops and horses from Susheng Bone City to Liangshui Camp?" The new king Bogu was awakened by the guards in his sleep, but what really woke him up was his son's words, and he suddenly shouted loudly in a silk robe like being stepped on by his tail: "You want to provoke the Han Dynasty again, isn't the lesson you taught last time enough!" ”

Yi Yinmo's successive provocations to the Han Dynasty have caused Bogu to change his attitude towards his second son...... It is a good thing to be aggressive towards his neighbors, but the king, who lacks sufficient determination and the ability to judge timing, is not beneficial to the entire Goguryeo state.

Especially when the old enemy in the north is on the side, and the strong neighbor in the west has a general who can be called a hero. This situation was a constant source of concern for Bogu.

"Yi Yin Mo, if you only know how to blindly wage war against the Han Dynasty, and every time you can only return with a feather, let the country send envoys to the border counties of the Han Dynasty again and again to alleviate the crisis......" Bo Gu didn't finish the rest of the words, he paused for a moment, and asked Yi Yin Mo: "Tell me the reason why you want to send troops to the Bone City, if there is no enough reason, even if the five departments support you, I will not agree." ”

Yi Yinmo obviously noticed the change in his father's attitude towards him, lowered his head and gritted his teeth for a moment, then suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Father, the spy in Liaodong County has sent back the news, and the Fuyu Kingdom seems to have moved the Han Du Liao general Yanbei and wants to join forces to attack...... The son not only wanted to march to Liangshui from the Bone City, but also asked his father to send troops from the south to guard the Bone City, and the 5,000 garrisons alone were not enough to hold the banks of the Daliangshui River, let alone the Bone City. ”

Originally, he heard that Yi Yinmo planned to garrison troops in Daliangshui again and provoke the border of the Han Dynasty, which had already made Bogu angry, but at this time, he was even more disappointed to hear that Yi Yinmo was also planning to send troops and horses from the south to garrison the city of Susheng.

"Why are you so short-sighted? The years of war with Buyeo have exhausted the people, and the soldiers recruited over the years have been sent from the south, once the southern garrison is transferred to the city of Susheng Bone, the situation in the north has changed, what do we use to recruit troops in the south? Moreover, if there is a rebellion in the country, what can be used to suppress it? Have you considered these! ”

Yi Yinmo took a deep breath and said, "It is precisely because my son thinks a lot that he has this idea. Father, is our enemy the Chinese or the Buyeo, or the Han Dynasty? In my son's opinion, my country's biggest enemy is not the old enemy of the north, Fuyu, but the increasingly powerful Han Dynasty Liao general Yanbei! That person didn't even respect the emperor of the Han Dynasty, do you really think that you can get his respect by giving him two dogs and some rags? If you give him the cautious Haidong Falcon, he won't appreciate it! ”

Bogu narrowed his eyes and looked at his son, who was making a big deal in front of him...... Yi Yinmo became more and more disrespectful to him.

"In the war with Buyeo last year, we captured the south of Liaoshan, and those lands that cannot be cultivated are a natural danger against us for Buyeo, but what about us? It's just a frontier location. Even if we lose the war this year, Buyeo will not be able to threaten the land we can cultivate and the pastures where we can raise horses, and if we lose the war, we will not lose anything. But didn't my father see that there was more and more land under Yanbei's rule? ”

"When he mastered the three counties in the east of Youzhou in the Han Dynasty, he dared to connive at his subordinates to kill more than 1,000 garrisons on our border and send his ears to the palace. When he rules Youzhou, what will happen to us? I heard that he had led an army to attack Liaoxi County, and the people under his rule prayed for him all day long in the hope that he would return victoriously, the old man used the family's grain and wine to boost morale, the bride weaved cloth and waited for the conscripts to return home, and the children rode bamboo horses on the country roads and said that they were the games of General Yan commanding his playmates to attack and fight! ”

"If we lose the Liao Mountains to the north, there are still three mountain ranges blocking the path between Buyeo and us; But if Liang Shui and Susheng Bone City were captured by the Han Dynasty, their iron cavalry would only need eight days to cover every inch of land outside the city...... Yes, last year, the Han people defeated our 2,500 warriors with more than 6,000 people, father, you think it is because of their superiority in strength, but you have forgotten that the Han people in Youzhou are used to fighting in the plains, and the mountains on the border make them overstretched, but they still only used one battle to defeat our 3,000 soldiers, and more than half of them were killed and wounded! If the Han people are allowed to take away the city of Susheng Bone, the domestic city of 300 li plain, how long do you think we can hold out even if we gather 20,000 soldiers? ”

Bogu's back was already wet with sweat, and although he had never met Yanbei, he could imagine the rumored young and unruly Han generals commanding the invincible cavalry to march to the domestic city after defeating the city of Sushenggu, the warriors of Goguryeo were routed in the plains and fields, and the boy of the head horn was crying loudly behind the smoke of the burned village.

He went from being angry with Yi Yinmo at the beginning, and slowly turned into fear of Yanbei and uneasiness in his heart...... Could it be that, as his son said, their real enemy was not the Buyeo Kingdom in the north, which continued to attack for three generations, but the Han Dynasty generals who rose in the civil war in the west?

Although Bogu still considered Yi Yinmo's threat to the Han Dynasty to be an exaggeration, he also agreed with Yi Yinmo's statement that Yanbei would never respect him because of the constant tribute of their envoys.

Even, the more gifts were given, the more Goguryeo would be despised by the Han Dynasty.

No king's dignity is earned by compromise...... Just as he respected Yanbei, his respect came from his fear of those seven hundred ears.

"I can allow you to send 5,000 more troops to Liangshui to guard the border, but this time you can't take it upon yourself to clash with the Han Dynasty. Even if it is true that Yan Zhongqing is the biggest threat to Goguryeo, as you said, at present, we do not have the ability to attack Liaodong County. In addition, you can also send a total of 12,000 warriors under the command of the three great divisions in the south to guard the city of Bones. Bogu groaned and gave orders to his son, but he was also a little uneasy in his heart: "In the cities and counties of the country with one hand, 15,000 soldiers must be left in case of rebellion in the country. ”

Yi Yinmo finally said that he moved Bogu, and said happily: "Please rest assured, father, I will definitely protect the Susheng Bone City!" ”

"Yi Yinmo, you remember, if you live up to my trust again, this will be the last time you will move me."

Yi Yinmo nodded quickly and strode out of the palace.

Not only did he strengthen the defense force of Susheng Gucheng, but also stationed troops on the border again was a test of the Han Dynasty, if this time the 5,000 soldiers and horses would not be counterattacked by the Han Dynasty, it would mean that they did not have the means to counterattack Goguryeo in their county...... He was very aware of the movements of Liaodong County, and the Liao general Yanbei led his army westward to attack Liaoxi County under the control of the Gongsun clan.

Although he still couldn't tell what the relationship between Gongsun and Gongsun Chan was, he thought that this was definitely Goguryeo's chance to solve the troubles of Liaodong County once and for all.

Father, you say we don't have the ability to attack Liaodong County?

My son will call you!
