Gao Yuan really didn't understand, since Gao Zhao did not die in the chaos, why did the Jin army release the news that Gao Zhao was dead? Is it to let Gao Shang smoothly ascend to the puppet throne, or is there other more insidious attempts, Gao Yuan fell into contemplation for a while.

Soon, Gao Yuan entered the stable, and saw Gao Zhao, the king of Goguryeo, who was tied up with five flowers, and in order to prevent Gao Zhao from shouting and screaming, he also stuffed a rag in his mouth, and the ten guards who followed Gao Zhao all suffered the same treatment, and they all opened their eyes angrily to show the anger in their hearts.

"Uh-uh-uh-uh......" Seeing Gao Yuan walk into the stable, Gao Zhao kept struggling to get Gao Yuan's attention.

Gao Yuan naturally noticed Gao Zhao, he walked to Gao Zhao's side, looked at Gao Zhao, paused for a moment, turned around and said, "Sure enough, it is a spy sent by the Jin army, and they are all taken to the outside of the camp to be executed." ”

"Yes, General." When several soldiers heard the order, they immediately escorted Gao Zhao and the others out of the stables and walked towards the woods outside the camp.

When Gao Zhao and Gao Yuan looked at each other, they thought that after Gao Yuan recognized him, he would kneel and plead for his guilt and beg for his forgiveness, but he never expected that Gao Yuan would pretend not to know himself and ask his generals to pull him outside the camp to be executed.

Gao Zhao, who was shocked in his heart, widened his eyes, and he finally understood that Gao Yuan did not arrest him because of a misunderstanding, but had already had a rebellion and wanted to put himself to death.

"Woo woo woo ......" Gao Zhao desperately wanted to make a sound, but the fact that his mouth was gagged with rags made him only make an extremely slight sound, which could not attract the attention of the soldiers in the camp.

Seeing Gao Zhao being escorted outside the camp by his henchmen, the corners of Gao Yuan's mouth showed a sly smile, although Gao Zhao luckily did not die in the chaos and appeared in the camp, but at this moment, he was not easily executed by himself, and the position of the king of Goguryeo was still his Gao Yuan in the end.

In order to be on the occasion of Gao Zhao's death. After humiliating him, Gao Yuan decided to personally go to the dense forest outside the camp and execute Gao Zhao in order to soothe the grievances that had accumulated in his heart for many years.

In a dense forest less than a mile away from Gao Yuan's camp. Gao Zhao and ten henchmen all knelt in the snow in a row, waiting for the fate of being beheaded.

Gao Yuan soon arrived here, and looked at Gao Zhao and the others kneeling in the snow with a relaxed expression, and the feeling of depression in his heart for many years was suddenly swept away.

In order to humiliate Gao Zhao as much as possible, Gao Yuan stood in front of Gao Zhao. And looked proudly at Gao Zhao kneeling in front of him.

At this time, Gao Zhao's eyes when he looked at Gao Yuan were full of anger, an indescribable anger, he felt that he trusted Gao Yuan so much and gave him so many soldiers and horses, but he was betrayed so badly, Gao Yuan actually wanted to kill himself, this feeling was extremely painful, how could Gao Zhao not be angry.

Seeing that Gao Zhao's eyes were full of anger, Gao Yuan snorted disdainfully at the corner of his mouth, and glanced at his henchman. Then he ordered: "Let's start!" ”

The henchman lieutenant understood, and asked the soldiers in charge of the execution to start with the guards around Gao Zhao, kill all these guards one by one, and finally, put the butcher knife on Gao Zhao's neck.

"Click, click......" With the sound of beheading, Gao Zhao's personal guards were beheaded one by one, and their heads all rolled in front of Gao Zhao's eyes, and the corpses fell down one by one, and lay next to Gao Zhao.

Although Gao Zhao has already experienced such a scene. But in the past, it was he who killed others, but this time, he became the target of slaughter, and the situation was completely reversed. This made his heart very complicated, maybe this is all retribution! He had killed so many people before, but at this time, it was finally his turn to be slaughtered by someone else.

The angry eyes were instantly replaced by sadness and helplessness, and there was even a hint of begging. After all, everyone has the instinct to survive, and Gao Zhao is naturally no exception, but at this moment, he can only helplessly wait for the fate of being slaughtered, because he knows very well in his heart that it is impossible for Gao Yuan to let him go, just like he would not let others go back then.

The cold and piercing blade rested on Gao Zhao's neck, making Gao Zhao shiver involuntarily and close his eyes.

"Stop." Just as the blade left Gao Zhao's neck, Gao Yuan gave the order to stop the execution, and waved his hand to let the henchman lieutenant leave.

The henchman lieutenant understood what Gao Yuan meant, and hurriedly left the woods with his soldiers and stopped three hundred steps away to wait for Gao Yuan.

Seeing that all the soldiers under his command had left, Gao Yuan walked to Gao Zhao's side with confidence, and reached out to remove the rag from Gao Zhao's mouth.

Gao Zhao thought that he was about to be beheaded, but unexpectedly, Gao Yuan stopped the order at the most critical time, which gave birth to a glimmer of hope in his eyes, but he soon understood that Gao Yuan was going to further humiliate himself, just like he did with his competitors back then.

"I really didn't expect that the general that this king has always trusted the most is actually a wolf-hearted thief, and this king is really blind." Gao Zhao glared at Gao Yuan and said angrily.

Gao Yuan smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "The king has been the king of Goguryeo for some years, and the scenery is enough, it's time to change, haha!" He laughed.

"Gao Yuan, this king treats you well, why do you treat this king like this." Gao Zhao roared angrily.

Gao Yuan smiled and retorted: "Robbed my most beloved woman, killed my most respected uncle, and planted many spies around me, this is what the king called treating me well, right?" After speaking, he glared at Gao Zhao.

"It turns out that you have always remembered these things, you have always hated this king, you are really deep enough!" Gao Zhao said with palpitations.

"Yes! If you don't hide your thoughts, how can you gain your trust, and how can you have a chance to take revenge. Gao Yuan said proudly.

Gao Zhao closed his eyes angrily and said: "Gao Yuan, don't think that if you kill me, you can become the king of Goguryeo, the Jin general Wang Meng has pushed Gao Shang to the throne of the king of Goguryeo, and Wang Meng is very good at fighting, with your ability, you are not Wang Meng's opponent at all, your death is near, you can't live a few days longer than me." ”

"It's dying, you still want to curse me, hum ......" Gao Yuan snorted disdainfully, and pulled out the saber at his waist and put it on Gao Zhao's neck.

"For the sake of the monarch and the minister, how do you want to die, I can fulfill you." Gao Yuan asked coldly.

"Leave a whole corpse for this king. There is no need to erect a monument. Gao Zhao said lightly.

At this moment, he knew that he was certain to die, so his tone of voice seemed much more flat. After all, it is useless to beg for mercy and struggle.

Gao Yuan nodded and said softly: "The king's tablet will naturally be placed in the Taimiao, of course, you can't erect a monument here, as for the requirements of the whole corpse." I can fulfill you. ”

"Come on!" Gao Zhao closed his eyes.

Gao Yuan's eyes widened, and he inserted the sword into the back of Gao Zhao's heart, and quickly pulled it out.

Gao Zhao fell in the snow and struggled in pain, and after a moment he stopped moving.

Seeing that Gao Zhao was dead, Gao Yuan's heart finally became much more relaxed, and he kicked Gao Zhao's body down the hillside.

After meeting up with his own soldiers, Gao Yuan asked his henchmen to return to the place of execution and bury all the bodies of Gao Zhao and others to avoid being discovered.

And then it was very relaxed. He returned to the Great Tent of the Chinese Army and began to think further about how to defeat Wang Meng's army.

Gao Yuan would not have thought that several generals under his command were very suspicious of the matter of pretending to be the king, and secretly paid attention to this matter.

Just when Gao Yuan's henchman Lieutenant buried Gao Zhao and the others, in the woods, a pair of eyes were watching their every move, and immediately reported the matter to his boss.

Several Goguryeo generals found it strange that if the Jin army spies and pretended to be the king of Goguryeo, they could be executed in the camp and their heads hung in the camp. In order to boost morale, Gao Yuan escorted all these people outside the camp and secretly executed them, which is really abnormal. There is a good chance that something is hidden in it.

"There must be something strange here, and tonight we will take the opportunity to go out of the camp to see what is going on." A Goguryeo general said.

"Okay, I agree." Another Goguryeo general agreed.

In order to prevent the enemy from raiding the camp, many sentries and rangers will be arranged around the Goguryeo camp, in addition. In order to supervise them, many generals would take a small number of their own soldiers to patrol the outside of the camp, and if they found that the sentries and rangers were lazy and not at the outpost, they would be punished, and in serious cases, they would be executed on the spot.

After evening, several generals led a small number of their own soldiers out of the camp in the name of inspecting the sentry post, and finally ran to the location where Gao Zhao's body was buried.

Since the body had already been buried, and heavy snow covered the burial site, it took them a while to find the exact burial site and begin excavation.

Lieutenant Gao Yuan, who was in charge of burying the corpse, did not expect that someone would come to investigate this matter, so the corpse was buried very shallowly, just piled up in a low-lying place, sprinkled with fallen leaves, and then put a layer of snow as a cover, for which it was very easy to dig.

"General, there's a whole corpse here." A soldier reported with a straight face.

Several generals glanced at each other and walked over.

"Torches, hold them closer." One of the generals said loudly.

Soon, several soldiers came up with torches and lit up the whole body.

"The king, it's really the king." A general immediately recognized Gao Zhao.

"Gao Yuan actually killed the king, what did he want." Another general of the Yan Army said angrily.

"Don't worry, you two, we should think about how to deal with this matter now." Said the third general.

Subsequently, several Goguryeo generals gathered together and discussed carefully.

"Now that the king is dead, do we support Gao Yuan to ascend the throne, or kill Gao Yuan to avenge the king?" One of the generals said with some hesitation.

"The king treats Gao Yuan well, but Gao Yuan will take revenge and kill the king, so the wolf-hearted and dog-lung people will definitely not be able to support him, in case one day we have no use value, he will also kill us like killing the king, the truth of the cunning rabbit and the death of the lackey must be remembered." Another general spoke out against supporting Gao Yuan.

"The king is dead, and Gao Shang has taken refuge in the Jin Kingdom, and now, I Goguryeo is only left with Gao Yuan to turn the tide and restore my Goguryeo, if I kill him, who can revive my Goguryeo's majesty?" A general frowned.

"Hmph, could it be that Gao Yuan will be Wang Meng's opponent? The revival of Goguryeo could not be counted on at all. ”

"Yes! I heard that Wang Meng is very powerful, with only 3,000 soldiers and horses, he has subdued Sanhan and Wofu, and the remaining corps of the noble general was wiped out, and in the end, even my Goguryeo's Marudu City was captured by Wang Meng, this person is so powerful, and there are more than 100,000 elite soldiers and horses of the Great Jin Dynasty behind him, how can I Goguryeo resist, it is better to kill Gao Yuan and surrender to the Great Jin. ”

"The matter has come to this, it seems that the only way to kill Gao Yuan and take refuge in the Great Jin is the right way."

"Isn't this a traitor to the country and a slave to the country?" One of the generals was somewhat reluctant.

"General Gao Shang has been appointed as the king of Goguryeo, and we defected to Gao Shang after killing Gao Yuan, so we are still the generals of Goguryeo, and we are not considered treason."

"Okay, it seems that this is the only way to go." Everyone finally agreed.

Subsequently, they began to plot how to get rid of Gao Yuan, after all, Gao Yuan has a lot of henchmen in the army, and it is not easy to get rid of him, and they must make detailed plans, otherwise they are very likely to be defeated.

These conspiring generals only have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but Gao Yuan's henchmen control at least 30,000 troops, and the remaining 40,000 troops can be fought for, but the risk is very large, in case they choose to Gao Yuan Gao Mi, the consequences will be very serious.

Therefore, they decided to use the only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in their hands to carry out the operation of beheading Gao Yuan, and in order to let the Goguryeo soldiers understand what they had done, they decided to smuggle Gao Zhao's body back to the camp and put it out at the most critical time to prove that the so-called Jin army spy killed by Gao Yuan was Gao Zhao himself, so as to get the support of most of the Goguryeo soldiers.

Several generals put Gao Zhao's body in a sack and secretly transported it into the camp in the name of prey.

On the morning of the second day, several conspiring generals gathered their soldiers and horses in the name of training, and after preparing to assemble, they read Gao Yuan's indictment in front of all the soldiers, and then launched an attack on the Chinese army's big tent, preparing to take the action of killing Gao Yuan.

In Gao Yuan's Chinese army tent, Gao Yuan's mood is not very good, since he killed Gao Zhao, Gao Yuan's heart has always been a little uneasy, and asked his henchmen to deploy more guards around the Chinese army's big tent to protect his absolute safety.

"It's so noisy outside." Gao Yuan heard the noise in the camp and asked irritably. (To be continued.) )
