The strongest Marquis in history

Jin Zaishan surrendered!

Park Yuanqi has fallen!

No matter which news it is, it is not conducive to Goguryeo.

Even though this is just rumored news for the time being, since the initial defeat on the Datong River front line, the news that has been spread in the market has never been false. Obviously, this incident is very likely to have happened for real.

Li Changha first arranged for someone to notify Ulji Moonxiong to enter the palace, then he changed his clothes and hurried to the palace.After seeing Pu Yisheng, Li Changhe hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, something is wrong. There are rumors that Jin Zaishan betrayed Goguryeo and surrendered to Qi State. The crown prince also fell and became a prisoner of Wang Qi. Besides , Caoshan Pass and Yongding City have fallen, and the entire three defense lines of Goguryeo have been lost."

boom! !

In an instant, there was a thunderous explosion in Pu Yisheng's mind.

He was completely bewildered.

Jin Zaishan betrayed, that's all, his son also became a prisoner, it was a hit to the heart of Goguryeo.

Pu Yisheng began to feel nervous inside.

His son is gone.

How to do?

Pu Yisheng's mind was in a mess. After a while, he regained his composure, looked at Li Changhe, and asked, "Prime Minister, the crown prince has fallen, what should we do now?"

At this moment, Eulji Wenxiong entered with a serious expression.

Because Ulchi Fumung also got rumors.

After Ulji Wenxiong stood still, he said, "Your Majesty."

Pu Yisheng said: "General, do you know the news from the market?"

"understood."

Ulchi Fumio nodded.

But he said solemnly: "The news just now is really unbelievable. Because I really can't understand how Jin Zaishan would betray Goguryeo. Whether it is the king, or the veteran, or the civil and military officials, all He knows about Jin Zaishan. He is my general in Goguryeo and the one who is most hostile to Qi, so how could he betray him?"

Kim Jaesan himself is Eulji Moonwoong's disciple, and that's exactly how Eulji Moonung understood Kim Jaesan.

He doesn't believe that Kim Jae-san will betray him.

Li Changhe said: "General, I don't believe that General Jin Zaishan will betray. It's just that what happened now is definitely not groundless. The last time there was a battle on the front line of the Datong River, the rumors were not fake. Actually The news in the market is that Wang Qi's eyeliner is spreading the news. So such news should be true."

Ulchi Fumio froze.

In his heart, he didn't even know, how should he deal with this?

Once Jin Zaishan surrendered and Park Yuanqi was captured, even though there were still soldiers in Goguryeo, how could they resist?

This is something to really consider.

Li Changha glanced at Eulji Moonung, then looked at Park Yisheng again, and continued: "My lord, we don't think about the truth of the matter for the time being, because it is meaningless to think about it. What we have to think about for the time being is that once it happens In the worst case, Jin Zaishan surrenders and the crown prince falls into Wang Qi's hands."

"Next, Wang Qi will head south quickly, even approaching Pyongyang. If this is the case, how should we resist? If this matter is not resolved, there will always be danger in the future."

Park Yisheng's cheeks twitched.

He couldn't imagine at all, if this situation really happened, how should he deal with it?

After a while, Pu Yisheng asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think we should do now?"

Ulchi Fumung said: "Prime Minister, you can do whatever you say. After all, the Prime Minister is experienced and decisive."

Li Changhe sneered inwardly.

Ulchi Fumio is an old fox.

Deliberately letting him decide, but leaving himself out.

You must know that this time it was Pu Yuanqi who was involved. If there was no Park Yuanqi, and it was simply Jin Zaishan, Li Changhe could say whatever he wanted.But when it comes to Pu Yuanqi, everything is very troublesome. It is impossible to ignore Pu Yuanqi's life and death.

Li Changhe took a deep breath, calmed his impetuous emotions, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, in this current situation, I have three strategies for you to choose from: top, middle and bottom."

Pu Yisheng said: "Prime Minister, please tell me."

Li Changhe said: "The best strategy for me is to arrange for one person to go on an envoy to meet Wang Qi in exchange for the prince. As long as Wang Qi releases the prince, everything will be easy for us. Of course, in order to get Wang Qi to agree, we have I promise to be a minister."

Speaking of this plan, Li Changhe himself felt a little flustered.

This is completely casual.

No way, he didn't dare to say that he didn't care about Park Yuanqi's life, so he made a somewhat unrealistic best strategy.

Pu Yisheng frowned, thinking that Pu Yongyuan's previous mission was to seek peace.At that time, Wang Qi refused.Moreover, Wang Qi has now smashed the Datong River, Caoshankou and Yongding City, and he has already killed mightily. How could he agree to such a way of proclaiming his vassal instead of directly ordering Goguryeo to surrender?

Pu Yisheng didn't say much, but instead asked, "What about the middle policy?"

Li Changhe said: "My minister's best strategy is to immediately let the general deploy troops on the road leading to Pyongyang and set up checkpoints to stop the Qi army from going south. Even Wang Qi has Jin Zaishan and the crown prince in his hands. , don’t care about them, and resist to the death.”

"In a word, after the checkpoints along the way have been blocked, we can retreat to the city and use the city of Pyongyang to resist. We have rifles in our hands and a lot of gunpowder."

"Although we don't have cannons, the explosives made of gunpowder can still be effective. We can defend the county with the help of a strong city."

"In addition, call on people from all over Goguryeo to raise troops to serve the king and come back to help Pyongyang. This battle is not about a short period of time, and we don't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, just fight a protracted war."

"As long as we persevere, when winter comes, the mountains will be blocked by heavy snow, and even roads will be blocked. Wang Qi's troops will be alone, and we will have a chance to fight back."

Park Yisheng nodded after listening.

This strategy is indeed good, and it is very possible to keep the imperial capital.

However, this strategy will lead to the killing of Park Yuanqi. After all, he insists on fighting against Qi to the end. As a hostage, Park Yuanqi has no need to exist.

Park Yisheng sighed deeply, this is Li Changhe's real plan.

However, Li Changhe put it in the middle strategy.

If Pu Yisheng had many sons under his knees, then even if the prince was arrested, Pu Yisheng would not be worried and would dare to fight.The problem is that Park Yisheng has only one son under his knee. If he doesn't care about Park Yuanqi's life or death, it means that he will have no son under his knee in the future.

Pu Yisheng felt hesitant in his heart. He didn't express his position yet, so he asked again: "Prime Minister, what's the next thing to do?"

Li Changhe said: "Your Majesty, the worst policy of my minister is to surrender. In order to protect the safety of the crown prince and the royal line of Goguryeo, in addition to the defeat of Datong River, Caoshankou and Yongding City, it is extremely difficult to resist. Therefore, the worst policy, It is direct surrender."

Pu Yisheng said: "Once we surrender, we will put our life and death in Wang Qi's hands. This surrender is not the same as being a minister. It means that we are exactly the same as Xianbei today."

Li Changhe said, "That's what it means."

Pu Yisheng took a deep breath and said, "Such a strategy is really inappropriate."

Li Changhe saw that Pu Yisheng only talked about the worst policy, and did not comment on the middle policy and the best policy. He solemnly said: "Your Majesty, the top, middle, and bottom three policies are all in front of you. How to choose, please let your majesty decide."

He kicked the ball back and let Park Yisheng choose.

Eulchi Moonung secretly thought that Li Changha was old and spicy.

As expected of an old minister.

The three strategies of up, middle and down prevented him from choosing, but became Park Yisheng's own choice.

Ulchi Wenxiong said: "Your Majesty, I also think that the choices we have today are nothing more than these three. Whether we are fighting or making peace, it is up to the Majesty to choose. No matter what, I will swear to follow the Majesty."

"I swear to follow the king to the death."

Li Changhe also stated his position again.

Pu Yisheng thought to himself that the two old foxes completely let him decide.

Park Yisheng was also extremely hesitant at the moment.

He couldn't decide for a while.

Does it matter about Park Yuanqi's life or death?

He can't.

But, abandon Goguryeo?

Neither can he.

Pu Yisheng was originally sitting, but after thinking about it, he simply stood up, with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth, thinking carefully about how to make a decision.

Li Changha and Eulji Moonung sat quietly without interfering with anything.

The two of them just need to obey orders.

Pu Yisheng waited quietly, and after a long while, he clenched his fists, and there was a decision on his face.He has only one son, but now, he can't be the king of subjugation, at least he has to fight.

Goguryeo can't drop directly.

Pu Yisheng made a difficult decision in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "General, you immediately arrange troops and set up checkpoints on the way to stop the advancing Qi army. In addition, from now on, block the gates of the four sides of the city and enforce martial law inside the city." , ready to go all out to fight Qi. This battle will proceed according to the prime minister's strategy."

"As ordered!"

Ulchi Fumio answered directly.

Li Changhe took the initiative and said: "The minister is also making arrangements. I will immediately send an order to the officials in the court and order everyone to fight to the death. This battle will never hinder the king. We will resist to the death."

Pu Yisheng nodded and said: "The Prime Minister and the General have worked hard. We are bound to win this battle and will never lose. After winning this battle, I, Goguryeo, will be able to gain a foothold in the world and no longer be afraid of Qi."

Li Changha and Eulji Moonung nodded solemnly, and they turned around and retreated.

After the two walked out of the main hall, they both stopped tacitly.

Ulji Fumung looked at Li Changhe and said, "Prime Minister, do you think you can stop this fight to the death?"

Li Changhe stroked his beard under his chin, shook his head, and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist in this battle. Fighting in this battle is extremely difficult. But now, the king has made arrangements, so let's fight to the death."

Ulchi Wenxiong said: "What the prime minister said is very true."

Li Changhe said: "General, since it is a deadly battle, it is very important to arrange the generals guarding the city. Especially the guards at the Sifang City Gate must be absolute confidants. If they are not absolute confidants, problems are likely to occur. So You must make proper arrangements for the guards of the Sifang City Gate."

Ulji Wenxiong said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, I can still arrange this matter properly."

He said no more, bowed his hands and left.

Ulji Wenxiong left the palace and went straight back to his General's Mansion. He first dispatched an army to go outside the city, on the official road from Yongding City to Pyongyang, looking for the truth of setting up a high ground to block the Qi army. .

In addition, an army guarding the city was arranged, and once the city was attacked, it would respond to all parties at any time.After the army in the general direction was properly arranged, Ulji Fumung alone called the guards guarding the Sifang City Gate.

The guards at the Sifang City Gate are all direct descendants of Ulji Wenxiong.

In other words, in fact, most of the generals in the entire Goguryeo military were trained by Ulji Moonung.

Therefore, many generals were branded with the brand of Ulchi Fumung.

Ulchi Fumiong looked at the four generals guarding the city gate, and said in a deep voice: "This time Qi State will go south, the biggest possibility is to attack the northern city gate, and the pressure will be the greatest. But the other three city gates should not be careless. In this battle, you all go all out for me, and you are not allowed to procrastinate. If anyone delays, I will never let you go lightly, do you understand?"

"understand!"

The four generals answered in unison.

Ulchi Wenxiong warned again, and then encouraged him, talking about the current situation in Goguryeo.

After explaining all the questions, Fumio Ulji ordered: "Okay, everything that needs to be said has been said, and everyone will go down and get ready."

"Retire from humble position!"

The four generals saluted and retired one after another.

The four of them turned and retreated, left the General's Mansion, and went to the city gate they were guarding.

The guard of the south gate is named Zheng Shanqi, and he is the current head of the Zheng family.

Zheng Shanqi was a person who worshiped under Eulji Wenxiong in his early years and was a disciple of Eulji Wenxiong.Because Zheng Shanqi is very intelligent, Eulji Moon Woong pointed Zheng Shanqi, telling Zheng Shanqi that he can't just practice martial arts, he must study.

Zheng Shanqi turned to study again, and when he became an adult, he was both civil and military, a rare talent.

However, Zheng Shanqi was out of luck.

When Goguryeo attacked small countries, Zheng Shanqi always encountered hard stubble.He led his troops to attack, but he was unsuccessful. On the contrary, he suffered a big loss, but after he weakened the enemy, the generals in the rear took advantage of it.

So much so that Zheng Shanqi was just a guard guarding the south gate.

It can be described as bad luck.

When Zheng Shanqi returned to Nancheng, he returned to the government office above his tower, and sat down to think about the next battle.

boom!boom!

A knock on the door sounded from outside the room.

Zheng Shanqi said: "Come in."

The door was pushed open with a creak, but a soldier entered, bowed and said: "General, the Zheng family sent a letter saying that the old lady is sick, please go back to the house."

"what?"
