Chapter 32: Marudu Mountain Castle

Goguryeo, Naam Fortress.

In fact, if Yanbei invited Wang Yi back to Yedu, he would probably be able to learn a lot of experience in controlling the government and fighting against the courtiers. Perhaps Yanbei, who asked Wang Yi to pretend to be a businessman and go to Goguryeo as an internal response, could not imagine how much time had changed Wang Yi, who was once a little more cowardly than Jiang Jin.

At that time, the Yan clan was at the most fierce moment of military struggle, and he was also sent to a safer Goguryeo because Wang Yi's character was not suitable to stay in the army for a long time, with the original intention of inserting a nail in Goguryeo's abdomen to make Wang Yi get an expedient measure that was no less than the merits of other generals.

After all, at that time, Yanbei just hoped to leave Wang Yi a position of lieutenant who could be ranked with Lu Yi and Gao Ran when he was dividing officials.

Just a few years later, who still looks at the Captain Colonel?

Jiang Jin is a general!

In Wang Yi's experience, it is not possible to control the government and rely on Yanbei to be nailed to the national capital. For example, he, Mo Lizhi, who has the responsibility of supervising the country, no longer appeared in the inner city of the national capital four years ago, but controlled the government in his fiefdom Naamseong, and now Nayanseong has been renamed Marudu Mountain Fortress, and with the support of the five ministries, the government decrees the passage of the entire Goguryeo, which is the real Goguryeo court.

As for the inner city of the national capital? It was just an empty shell, controlled by the three thousand warriors under Wang Yimen, and the courtiers could not even enter and leave the domestic city at will, and his eyes and ears were all over the palace and outside the palace...... Dongchuan Wang Baqi also complained, but it was useless, Wang Yi collected beauties from all over the people and sent them to the palace; At the same time, he also took away the classics in the palace and cultivated the monarch's hobby of raising flowers and plants.

What's more, the current situation in Goguryeo is that if a scholar wants to make any achievements, he can only take refuge in Molizhi Wang Yi of the mountain city of Marudu.

"In our Han Dynasty, it was also the general situation of Goguryeo! It's just that my brother is much more powerful than me, and he not only wants to hold power, but he also wants to retain imperial power. Wang Yi smiled softly, his fingers slowly trembling in his sleeves, and said to his promoted henchmen Yan Liuhe Yibasu: "I'm not as powerful as him, but I can monopolize power...... Eh, you say, is this good or bad? ”

Although both of his cronies were Goguryeo, Wang Yi was accustomed to calling himself a Han Chinese. In fact, Yan Liu and Yi Basu were also used to hearing it, and the first to speak was Yi Basu, who was promoted by Wang Yi to the status of a peasant, and arched his hand: "Wang Jun, I think you and Ye's Yan Jun are both heroes." Without you, the country would have been constantly fighting against the Han Dynasty for the past six years, and even the country might be destroyed under the enemy's back; Without Ye's Yan Jun, civil strife in the Han Dynasty would have been inevitable, and when the royal family and the royal family were powerless to turn the situation around, there should have been more outstanding heroes who led the people to peace. ”

Wang Yi sighed, Yanbei is a hero of the Han people, but he Wang Yi ...... It is destined that from the eastern end of Daliang Water to the foot of Gaima Mountain, even after a hundred years, there will still be Goguryeo remnants who will scold his name.

Some things are already doomed!

may be the reason why Yi Basu was born in Qian, and in his words, instead of belittling the rebels who monopolized power like Yanbei and Wang Yi, he seemed extremely respectful. For him, if the monarch cannot make a good life for the people of the country, then the monarch is useless and should not be respected.

And Yan Liu just smiled at this, and did not praise it.

"Recently, the northern war report, bring it up." Wang Yi stopped gossiping, held the book in one hand and looked at the dangerous places on the northern border on the map, and said: "The number of troops stationed on the border in Buyeo is planning to attack south next spring. ”

Now that the heavy snow in the north of Goguryeo is thick enough to cover the calves, and Buyeo is still quietly increasing troops on the border, I am afraid everyone knows what calculations are in their hearts. However, Wang Yi was not worried about the movements of neighboring countries, but smiled secretly in his heart, next year's war will definitely surprise everyone in the two countries, and the soldiers of the rest of the country, don't think about going south.

This is all they have planned for a long time!

Speaking of military affairs, Yan Liu solemnly arched his hand and said: "Yes, the Buyeo country has more than 30,000 soldiers on the border, and the coming year will definitely be a big battle. ”

"Don't worry, I have a perfect law in my heart, and I ordered the country to gather soldiers and horses in October, how many are there now?" Wang Yi waved his hand and asked, and then listened to Yan Liuru say in a few treasures: "The five departments have gathered nearly 30,000 troops, and if you count the 20,000 troops of Mo Lizhi, there should be 50,000 troops that can be dispatched next spring...... It's just that such a force is insufficient, and the defense is too bloated. ”

Even if all 50,000 troops are bet, they will not be able to hit the capital of Buyeo, and it will only be used to garrison the border, which is too much, and it will consume grain and grass.

"Leave 8,000 samurai in Marudu Mountain Castle, send a message to the soldiers and horses from all over the country, and mobilize all along the northern frontier by February of the next year to guard against the surprise attack of Buyeo and prepare to attack Buyeo to the north." Wang Yi turned a deaf ear to the shock of the two important ministers who were also his cronies, and said confidently: "This time, we will attack the capital of the country, Muzha City!" ”

The national strength of Goguryeo and Buyeo has always been similar, somewhat similar to the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, one side is slightly weaker but has geographical advantages, and the other side is slightly stronger but has no ability to destroy the country. There are 80,000 households in Buyeo State, and there are 30,000 households in Muzha City, the capital of the country alone, with 200,000 people. Therefore, both Yibasu and Yan Liu think that what Wang Yi said about attacking Muzha City is tantamount to a fool's dream.

"Don't leave the branch, I'm afraid that with only 40,000 troops, it is impossible to attack Muzha City. If Fuyu mobilizes the strength of the country, even if he defeats the border army in the south of the country, he will still be able to recruit more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, needless to say...... If you delay the Tan Gong and money to pay tribute to Yecheng next year, and then make enemies with the Han Dynasty, you will not be able to return to heaven. ”

This is also the most incomprehensible place between Yan Liu and Yibasu, even if Wang Yi is the Mo Lizhi of Goguryeo, he is also a Han Chinese, and even the great Sima Yan Zhongqing, who was in charge of the Han Dynasty, is called a brother, and respect is not just on his lips, will he forget to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty?

3,000 sandalwood bows a year, 20 million yuan, such a number has never been a few, this is nearly half of the annual tax revenue in Goguryeo.

"It is precisely because of the tribute paid for many years that we have the possibility of winning this battle. Ask for help from Youzhou, please take advantage of Goguryeo to send troops to Fuyu, enter the belly of Fuyu in Liaodong and Xuansu, cut off their grain routes, and our army will attack Muzha City next summer! Wang Yi smiled and said, "At that time, the battle that has been fought for hundreds of years will be over." ”

It's just that Wang Yi knows in his heart that the end will not only be Buyeo, but also Goguryeo!
