The sound of soldiers and horses gathering in the camp made Gao Yuan very uneasy, and he couldn't help but get nervous and a little irritable.

"General, it's General Li, they're training." The henchman lieutenant had already gone out to see the situation, so he immediately replied.

"Training, the general did not give an order to train the troops, why did they suddenly think of training? I've never seen them so active! Gao Yuan said suspiciously.

When the henchman lieutenant heard this, he was also surprised: "What the general said is yes! Several of their generals gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, which has never been done before! Is there any scheme? ”

Gao Yuan was shocked, and hurriedly ordered in a panic: "Pass the order, let several of the general's henchmen and generals immediately gather their troops and horses, and prepare to respond, be quick." ”

"Yes, General." The confidant lieutenant hurriedly received the order and immediately went to deliver the order.

"You two go to school right now and see what they're doing." Gao Yuan looked at the two henchmen and ordered.

"Yes, General." Hearing the order, the two pro-soldiers hurriedly rushed to the school grounds.

At this moment, in a large open space in the school grounds, several conspiring generals stood on a high platform, looking at the soldiers in the audience, looking very excited.

On this high platform, there is also a wooden board about one zhang long, and the wooden board is covered with a white cloth, and the soldiers below are very curious about what will be under the white cloth.

A general looked at the generals and said loudly: "Yesterday, the general secretly executed several Jin army spies who pretended to be kings and buried them outside the camp, this matter should be known to the soldiers and soldiers, but do you know who the Jin army spies executed by the general?" After speaking, he looked at the soldiers.

When all the soldiers heard this, they all looked at each other and looked very puzzled.

"The slain Jin army spy is under this white cloth. Look at who this man really is. The general said and lifted the white cloth, revealing Gao Zhao's body.

Several of the front-facing generals stepped forward to take a look, and they were all shocked, the corpse was actually their king Gao Zhao.

"It's the king, it's the king. The general killed the king. One of the generals shouted.

The generals on the stage took the opportunity to shout: "That's right, the general killed not the Jin army spies at all, but our king, our king, the king treated the general well, but the general took advantage of the king's fall to take revenge on the king." We can't tolerate such a person, we want to kill Gao Yuan and avenge the king. ”

"Kill Gao Yuan and avenge the king." Several generals shouted in unison first.

"Kill Gao Yuan and avenge the king." More than 10,000 soldiers. Immediately they all shouted.

Looking at the scene in front of them, Gao Yuan's two henchmen broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately ran in the direction of the Chinese army's big tent.

"General, no, they dug up the body of the king and carried it to the school grounds, and besides, they are counting the general's crimes. Preparation is not good for the generals. The confidant returned to the big tent of the Chinese army and said hurriedly.

"General, they should have already started the operation. We were ill-prepared and must evacuate immediately. Another confidant said.

Gao Yuan was shocked when he heard this, he never expected that his subordinates would have such a loyal person as Gao Zhao, which was also blamed on him for being too careless, if he had dealt with it more secretly, maybe such a thing would not have happened. He is fully responsible for his mistakes.

"Withdraw, all the soldiers will evacuate with me." Gao Yuan rushed out of the Chinese army's tent. With a loud shout, he led hundreds of his own soldiers to run towards the camp where his henchmen and generals were.

Now. Several generals who conspired had already led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under their command to rush to Gao Yuan's Chinese army tent, but they were still a step too late, and Gao Yuan had already fled.

"The soldiers chase, chase and kill Gao Yuan." A general led the main force to chase Gao Yuan in the direction of escape, while a small group of people immediately publicized Gao Yuan's guilt in the camp, and carried Gao Zhao's body to the big tents of each army to win the support of the officers and men of each army.

Sure enough, under their propaganda, the 40,000 soldiers who originally didn't know the reason all knew about Gao Yuan's crime and joined the action to condemn Gao Yuan.

However, due to Gao Yuan's active preparations at the last moment, for this reason, all the 30,000 henchmen under his command were assembled, and under Gao Yuan's personal command, they launched a counterattack against the pursuing soldiers and horses.

In this way, the 80,000 Goguryeo army in the camp started a bloody battle, and the camp was full of wounded soldiers and motionless corpses.

Although Gao Yuan's troops were weak, they had a unified command, while the 50,000 soldiers and horses who opposed him fought separately because they did not have a unified command, and soon fell into disadvantage.

Seeing this, several conspiring generals knew that they would suffer a big loss if they continued to fight like this, and they would not be able to kill Gao Yuan at all, so they had to order a retreat and rush in the direction of Marudu City.

Gao Yuan's soldiers and horses also suffered a lot of casualties, so instead of launching a pursuit, he began to gather his troops and study the next step.

This incident, the blow to Gao Yuan is huge, he originally had 80,000 soldiers and horses, now there are only more than 20,000, and his strength has been sharply reduced by half, so he will no longer have the ability to recapture the chance of recapture the capital and ascend to the king of Goguryeo, what to do next is the primary question in front of Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan knew very well in his heart that the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who fled must have rushed to the direction of Marudu City and would surrender to Gao Shang, and Gao Shang had already taken refuge in the Jin State, so that the soldiers and horses controlled by Wang Meng would be more than 60,000 tall, forming an overwhelming advantage over the soldiers and horses under his command, besides, there were 50,000 Jin soldiers and horses in the rear, that is to say, his 20,000 capable army had to face more than 100,000 enemy troops in the front and back, and the difference in strength was so that he definitely had no chance of winning.

"General, the current situation is very unfavorable for us, and Goguryeo is afraid that there is no place for us anymore." A confidant general said.

"This is our foundation, and if we don't stay in the country, where can we go?" Another henchman said.

"Why don't you flee to the north! The north is sparsely populated and will surely find a foothold. ”

"The north is a bitter cold land, let the soldiers go there to suffer, the soldiers will definitely not be willing."

"That's enough, we're not going anywhere, we're going here." Gao Yuan said loudly.

"But. General, if the enemy army is pressed by more than 100,000 soldiers and horses from two directions, how can we resist it? ”

Gao Yuan Zhengse said: "More than ten miles to the south is Rencheng, as long as our army occupies Rencheng and stores enough grain in the city." We can defend Rencheng, which is the only way out for us. ”

When all the generals heard this, they all thought that it was impossible to hold Rencheng, after all, such a strong city as Marudu City was easily breached by Wang Meng, how could a small city like Rencheng block the enemy's attack? But that's it. There is no better way but to take one step at a time.

Soon, Gao Yuan led his soldiers and horses to quickly rush to the direction of Rencheng, which is not far to the south, and ransacked all the villages near Rencheng. to obtain sufficient food and grass supplies.

In the direction of Marudu City, Wang Meng was thinking about how to deal with Gao Yuan's army, he was not afraid of Gao Yuan's goods, but after all, Gao Yuan had 80,000 horses, so he was more or less cautious in his heart. Be very cautious when thinking about things.

"General, isn't it too risky to put some of the enemy's men and horses into the city? In case the soldiers and horses in the city can't resist it, won't the pill capital be broken by Gao Yuan? The general Wang Meng's bold idea was completely shocked.

Wang Meng smiled and said: "The enemy army is in the open, but the soldiers and horses in our army are lying in ambush in the dark, so suddenly rushing out will definitely surprise the enemy army." I don't know the reality of our army, plus our army has crossbow weapons. It is inevitable that he can deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at the moment of encounter, and Ben General has already thought about it carefully. There will be no surprises. ”

"Good news, General! The Goguryeo army is infighting, and more than half of the men and horses have already rushed to Marudu, coming to join us. At that moment, a general rushed in and reported loudly.

"What, the soldiers and horses under Gao Yuan's command are infighting." When Wang Meng heard this, he had an incredible feeling, and then his heart became very happy.

"I heard that Gao Yuan killed Gao Zhao, the king of Goguryeo, but was discovered by his subordinates, which led to infighting." The general said happily.

"General, didn't Gao Zhao die in the chaos a long time ago? Why did he die again in the Gao Yuan camp, what the hell is going on. A subordinate general asked curiously.

Wang Meng was in a good mood, smiled, and said: "Gao Zhao has fled on the day the city was broken, and what he will release is just fake news, in order to let the people of Marudu City accept the noble king." ”

"The general is high, and the last general admires." The general complimented.

Wang Meng smiled and said happily: "The general of Gao Yuan's department launched an internal strife, which greatly exceeded the general's expectations, so that our army does not have to risk letting the enemy army into the city, and it is easy to break Gao Yuan." ”

"General, now Gao Yuan is already a lost dog, and there are only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command, which is no longer a threat to us, should we set our sights further away." The general said softly.

"That's right, Gao Yuan is no longer a threat, the next step is that we should continue to march north, launch an attack on Fuyu, Mao and Lulou, and completely conquer them, and Gao Yuan will be handed over to Gao Shang to deal with." Wang Meng said.

"General Takami." The ministry general complimented.

Subsequently, Wang Meng summoned his subordinates to discuss the next strategy to continue the attack to the north.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Meng looked at his subordinates and said: "Fuyu, Huiqian and Lulou, help Yan and the Great Jin to become enemies, and they are going to lead you and others to attack these three countries, and use force and coercion to make them all surrender to the Great Jin, if they refuse to surrender, they have to be eliminated." ”

The generals of the Jin army hoped to make more meritorious deeds, and naturally they all gladly accepted the order, however, the king of Sanhan and the king of Wofu were a little reluctant, because these countries were too far away from their countries, and they had to pass through the vast territory of Goguryeo to arrive, besides, it was winter at this time, and the climate of the peninsula was still very cold, and the countries such as Buyeo were further north, and the climate was naturally even colder, and they would be very unsuitable for the climate there, and even if they subdued Buyeo and other countries, it was the Great Jin who would benefit, not them.

However, at this moment, since they have returned to the Great Jin, they must not violate Wang Meng's orders, otherwise they will be disobedient and disrespectful, and the consequences may be very serious.

"General, I've been waiting to leave the country for a long time, and if I don't go back, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the country." King Ma Han said first.

"Yes! Our Samhan is always threatened by the Japanese state, and if the Japanese take advantage of our army's expedition to the north and surrender to our Samhan, the consequences will be unimaginable. King Mu Han said.

"The general has worked hard all the way, and he should rest more to consolidate the results of the battle." King Chenhan said.

Although the king of Wofu didn't say anything, he was reluctant to attack north, after all, Buyeo and other countries were too far away, so he went north, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back?

Wang Meng's face was displeased, he looked at a few people, and said: "You can return to the country at any time to stabilize the situation, but you have to leave the soldiers and horses under your command." ”

This is the condition set by Wang Meng, if the king of Sanhan and the king of Wofu really don't want to go north, they can choose to return to the country, but the soldiers and horses under their command must be handed over, only in this way, Wang Meng can have enough soldiers and horses to attack Buyeo and other countries, and at the same time, it is also to reduce the casualties of his subordinates.

The king of Sanhan and the king of Wofu were unwilling to hand over all the soldiers and horses under their command, so they nodded and agreed to go north.

Soon, more than 40,000 Goguryeo soldiers and horses rushed to the outskirts of Marudu City, and formally surrendered to Gaoshang, and honored Gao Gao as the king of Goguryeo.

Wang Meng found Gao Shang and proposed to select 20,000 Goguryeo elite soldiers to go north, and let Gao Shang lead the remaining 20,000 Goguryeo soldiers and horses to confront the soldiers and horses under Gao Yuan's command, and finally eliminate Gao Yuan.

Gao Shang has always had a good impression of Wang Meng, listened to Wang Meng's words, agreed without saying a word, and immediately transferred 20,000 elites among the more than 40,000 soldiers and horses who took refuge in him, and handed them over to Wang Meng to command, so that the foreign soldiers and horses under Wang Meng's command were as high as 40,000, Goguryeo 20,000, Wofu 15,000, and Sanhan 5,000.

Of course, this expedition is full of many uncertain factors, for this reason, Wang Meng not only needs 40,000 foreign troops, but also needs more Great Jin warriors to go out together to enhance his own strength, and the 50,000 army under Han Yong's command is a good soldier and horse, which can fully meet Wang Meng's demand for troops.

Wang Meng sent his henchmen to tell Han Yong his thoughts, and Han Yong immediately left 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the border area between Liaodong and Goguryeo, and personally led the remaining 40,000 troops to Marudu to join Wang Meng's soldiers and horses.

After the 40,000 soldiers and horses under Han Yong's command arrived in Marudu, Wang Meng's army gathered was as high as more than 80,000 people, in addition to the 2,500 elites he brought from Luoyang City, there were also 40,000 Jin troops and 40,000 foreign troops, which was considered a very powerful army, at least it was more than enough to sweep Buyeo and other countries.
