Wei Zheng's face changed greatly, and he had always been as calm as him, and he couldn't help but be moved: "How is this possible, Goguryeo and Baekje, as well as Baekje's ally Wa Guo, are mortal enemies, it is this time that Yang Guang's expedition to Goguryeo was also sent at the request of the king of Baekje, Fuyuzhang, and now that Goguryeo has repelled Yang Guang's army, I think what they will do next is to continue to defend to the death in Liaodong, and the other is to use the victorious army to point southward to Baekje and Silla, and capture back the Hanjiang Plain that was lost before." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head with a smile and said: "The Hangang Plain is now in the hands of Silla, and Baekje has not received any benefits, that is, two or three cities on the coastline, so this time it was the king of Baekje who asked for a crusade against Goguryeo, and the last time he was full of Silla, he didn't mean this, but later I saw that the king of Baekje sent an envoy, and in order to show his attitude, he sent a low-level official to ask for a division." ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "In this case, the number one enemy of Goguryeo is Baekje, this time it was attacked by the million-strong army of the Great Sui, even if it wins, the country will be a mess, and the military food savings of five or six years will be almost empty in one fell swoop, and it is reasonable to take revenge on Baekje and recapture the Han River Plain occupied by Silla by the way." By the way, this time the king of Baekje, Fuyu Zhang, didn't he personally lead the troops and camp on the border, but he really sent troops, and Yang Guang also rewarded him. ”

Wang Shichong said coldly: "If Buyeo Zhang really sends troops to help, can the Goguryeo army still have an army of five or six hundred thousand in Pyongyang?" ”

Wei Zheng's face changed, and he lost his voice: "What does this mean?" ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Actually, in the previous stage, after breaking through the Goguryeo army's limin camp, I also let two spies from Baekje. It's back to me. I sent these two men to Baekje before the war. It is to find out the real movement of Baekje, because the Goguryeo army blocked all roads a while ago and could not return to Liaodong, but when our army broke through the camp in front of the forest, they happened to come back, and this matter was specially arranged by me, and it did not go through Xuancheng you, so you don't know the merits. ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "The lord is a person who needs to grasp the overall situation. It is impossible to pass through subordinates in everything, you say, what did these two spies say, is there still collusion between Baekje and Goguryeo? ”

Wang Shichong nodded and said: "In fact, this time Baekje's request for the Great Sui to send troops is a conspiracy from beginning to end, and on this small peninsula, it is also the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if Goguryeo is Cao Cao." Then Silla is Liu Bei, and Baekje is Sun Quan. When the former emperor Yang Jian sent troops to Goguryeo. Silla and Baekje took the opportunity to join forces to attack the southern region of Goguryeo, and in one fell swoop captured the rich and prosperous, dangerous Han River Plain, of which Baekje contributed the most, and even killed two princes in battle, lost tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and defeated the army of Goguryeo, but Silla took advantage of the war between the two countries to quietly send troops to occupy the Han River Plain, just like the Three Kingdoms period of the Central Plains, during the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan's army played a leading role, but Jingzhou was obtained by Liu Bei. ”

Wei Zheng smiled: "So after that, Baekje hated Silla and wanted to get back the Han River Plain, right?" But if this is the case, why did they ask the Great Sui to send troops to attack Goguryeo? ”

Wang Shichong said calmly: "This is the cunning of the Baekje Kingdom, what they really want to seize is not the mountains in the southern part of Goguryeo, the area around Kaesong, but they want to start a war against Silla and recapture the Han River Plain. However, they were also afraid that when the war with Silla began, Goguryeo would take the opportunity to go south and take the Han River Plain, so they asked the Great Sui to send troops to attack Goguryeo, so that Goguryeo would have no time to be distracted to go south. ”

Wei Zheng let out a soft "oh": "Could it be that Baekje took the opportunity to start a war with Silla this time?" Recaptured the Han River Plain? Wasn't it a while ago that their king, Buyeo Zhang, personally led his troops to the border of Goguryeo and put on an offensive appearance, was it to confuse the Silla people? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "The Silla people are not stupid, although they also jointly wrote a letter to attack Goguryeo, but the main army is completely placed on the Han River Plain, and the cities bordering Baekje in the west are also strictly defended, and they don't want to attack Goguryeo at all, but they focus entirely on Baekje, a nominal ally." The alliance between the two countries has already existed in name only. ”

"Therefore, as soon as Baekje saw that his plan had not succeeded, he turned to secretly contact Goguryeo, and although I do not know the content of their negotiations, since the Great Sui sent troops, Buyeo Zhang's 100,000-strong army has been acting on the border between the two countries. Even the Choi boy we broke through the camp in front of Goguryeo Limqian a while ago and killed was an adult from the south, if it wasn't for the secret agreement with Baekje, how could he leave the south unguarded and personally lead the troops here? ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "That's true, at first, my subordinates thought that it was because the area around Kaesong in the south of Goguryeo was mountainous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and only a few troops were needed to resist the army of Baekje." ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "At first, I thought so before I got the information, but after I got in touch with those two spies, I realized that this was not the case, the army of Baekje actually changed into the military uniform of Goguryeo, and continuously passed through the mountains of southern Goguryeo to Pyongyang, led by the prince of Baekje, the so-called 100,000 army of Fu Yuzhang, and thus became the Goguryeo army, helping them defend Pyongyang against our Sui army!" ”

Wei Zheng's face changed: "Is there really such a thing?!" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Yes, the second batch of people who defend the camp, that is, the one who is now defending the camp in front of the forest, is not the Goguryeo army, but the army of Baekje, and it is not someone else who is sitting in the camp, but the king of Baekje, Buyeo Zhang!" ”

Wei Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Fuyu Zhang dares to do this, aren't you afraid that Yang Guang will eat him after he finds out?" Besides, how could Baekje and Goguryeo, who had been bitter enemies for so many years, reconcile so quickly? ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "After all, the two countries are also the same sect, the two sons of the founding king of Goguryeo, Jumong, fled to the south, and the establishment of Baekje, and the Silla built by the remnants of the three Koreas, is not all the way, and the two countries now have objective conditions for mutual cooperation, Goguryeo needs to stabilize the south, and it is best to recapture the Han River Plain, if you can pull Baekje to do it together, it is a good thing, otherwise it will not be able to deal with the next wave of attacks of the Sui Dynasty." Baekje has always been in alliance with the Wa Kingdom, and the last time the Wa State came to disrespect Yang Guangda, it was also a kind of temptation to see if the Sui Dynasty was capable of attacking Goguryeo and the Wa Kingdom at the same time.
