With Shen Manyong's order, several of his entourages hurriedly drew their long knives and prepared to protect Shen Manyong to kill.

Liu Wen dared to let these people enter the palace with weapons, so he was naturally not afraid of them making trouble.

At the moment when several Silla guards showed their weapons, several royal warriors also drew their swords in their hands, raised their swords and fell, and killed all Shen Manyong's entourage on the spot.

Shen Manyong was scared silly.

He originally thought that this Song king, like those Silla aristocratic youths, couldn't stand the shouting.

I didn't expect the truth to be the opposite of what I thought.

Faced with a life-and-death crisis, Shen Manyong couldn't care about the dignity of the Silla royal family, so he quickly knelt down to Liu Wen and begged for mercy: "King Chitose of Song spares his life, the foreign minister just said nonsense because he didn't wake up because of a hangover, Chitose, you have a lot, spare me!" ”

Seeing him play a scoundrel, Liu Wen's disgust deepened in his heart, and he ordered: "Take it away!" ”

A few warriors should say yes, and walk out with Shen Manyong in their arms.

Shen Manyong struggled and shouted: "King Song! You can't do this, the two countries are at war without killing each other, not to mention that I came with sincerity. You can't punish a country's royalty for a few drunken words. Aren't you afraid that if this matter gets out, businessmen from all over the world will be disappointed in Songzhou?! ”

Hearing him mention merchants from various countries, Liu Wen turned his head to Feng Dao and said, "You go back and draft an official document, and in the future, if the Silla people do business in Songzhou, the tax will increase tenfold." No matter which countryman plundered Silla's goods, they could trade them in Songju as if they were normal goods. ”

Shen Manyong's face changed when he heard this.

If Liu Wenzhen does this, he will completely become a sinner of Silla, and not only will his legs be broken at that time, but he will definitely affect his family after returning to China.

"King Song, you can't do this! Silla is your ally, and if you turn your back on your allies like this, you will be punished by heaven! We, the Silla people, will definitely let the Emperor of the Great Sui know that you have accepted the tribute of Silla according to the specifications of the Son of Heaven......"

Shen Manyong was dragged away in an unwilling voice.

As for what he said, Liu Wen was not worried at all.

He had a false relationship with the Silla people before, also in order to use their spy channels to find out some things.

As for the tribute sent by the Silla people, Liu Wen didn't like it at all, and gave it to his father-in-law Yang Guang a long time ago, and even wrote a letter briefly explaining the situation of Silla secretly contacting him.

After all, there are no impermeable walls in the world.

Liu Wen had already thought that if he concealed it, this matter would come out from the spies of Baekje and Goguryeo, who were alive in Silla, and no one would believe it even if they explained it at that time. At that time, this little profit would make him completely lose the trust of his father-in-law Yang Guang.

Therefore, when his father-in-law is happy in advance, he will tell all the information and the inventory, not only will not leave an invisible **, but will make Yang Guang trust himself more.

The result was naturally the same as Liu Wen thought.

For this matter, Yang Guang specially rewarded Liu Wen with a lot of precious medicinal materials, and made a clear decree that Liu Wen should not cut off contact with Silla.

A few days later, Shen Manyong's meeting with Liu Wen was also spread by Feng Dao.

The envoy of this small country in Fanbang actually claimed to be the royal family of a big country, and even put forward various dumbfounded conditions with the King of Song, which soon became a joke among businessmen from various countries.

And Liu Wen's announcement emboldened the merchants of various countries to beat the water dogs, and the Silla merchants became the fat meat for them to plunder and make a fortune.

……

At the same time, in Dongliao, a major event also happened.

Because the weather is getting colder and there is war in Shandong, Yang Guang has already had a little retreat in his heart.

This attack on Goguryeo was already a great victory from a strategic point of view.

Goguryeo's use of troops has always relied on building fortresses, advancing step by step, and after the fortresses are completed, a defense system will be formed in which various fortresses cooperate with each other.

With this strategy, they have made many enemies brain-wrenching.

And this time.

Yue Yun proposed the tactic of encircling the point to send reinforcements, and after besieging important fortresses, ambush reinforcements from all directions.

Yang Guang flexibly used this tactic to cause Goguryeo to lose a large number of soldiers and horses, and then took the opportunity to take the fortresses vacated by the support, and used the advantage of troops to destroy all these fortresses.

Prior to this, Goguryeo had built a castle near the front after hundreds of years of continuous efforts, but after more than half a year of war, more than 300 were demolished.

Not only that, Yue Yun and Zuo Tiancheng also took advantage of the autumn harvest season to lead their troops deeper into the enemy's territory for more than 200 miles, burning a large area of grain along the way, and it is conceivable what kind of situation Goguryeo will face next.

Yang Guang, who was so happy, also wanted to wipe out Goguryeo in one fell swoop.

But he is a very smart monarch, so he can naturally figure it out.

At this time, the troops are withdrawn, and Goguryeo will face an unprecedented ***.

If they let the people go, there will definitely be unrest.

But if the warehouse is opened to release grain, the old bottom of Goguryeo is afraid that it will be hollowed out this time.

Under such favorable conditions, continuing to use troops in the bitter cold will definitely cheapen the enemy.

Faced with the great temptation to do his best in one fell swoop, Yang Guang struggled repeatedly for a long time, and finally decided to give up his immediate interests and return to the dynasty.

But before he could make an order, there was a panicked report from the eunuch: "Your Majesty! Oh no! The two generals, Yue Yun and Zuo Tiancheng, were defeated at Lupi Mountain, and there were less than a thousand of the seven thousand men left! ”

"Say it again!"

Yang Guang's eyes widened, and he suspected that he was hallucinating.

"Your Majesty, the two generals Yue Yun and Zuo Tiancheng were defeated in Lupi Mountain......"

"What about Yue Yun and Zuo Tiancheng? Is there anything wrong with them! ”

"Your Majesty, the two generals are fine, but they were slightly injured."

"They're back?"

"Yes."

"Then don't let them come to see me!" Yang Guang shouted with wide eyes as if he was about to kill.

The eunuch was so frightened that he answered, and hurriedly invited Yue Yun and Zuo Tiancheng to Yang Guang's tent.

The two knelt down and kowtowed together: "Your Majesty! The end will be useless, please punish the emperor! ”

"Two Aiqing, hurry up! With your talents, there could be no such defeat, tell me what happened! ”

"This ......" Yue Yun opened his mouth, and finally sighed and shook his head: "Your Majesty, this time the last general really doesn't know what's going on?" ”

"What! I don't know?! ”

"Yes. Originally, General Mo and General Zuo fought to Lupi Mountain, and everything went smoothly. But when they arrived at Changxi Ridge, suddenly the wind was fierce, and the sand and rocks were flying, and the soldiers were so fascinated that they couldn't open their eyes. As soon as the ministers and soldiers came, they had never encountered such strange weather, so they could only order the withdrawal. But as soon as the array of the army loosened, a large number of arrows rained down. ”

"After a few rounds of arrows, our army suffered heavy losses. Just when the army was in a mess, the opposing team suddenly shouted and killed. Strange to say, the wind and sand fascinated us so much that we couldn't open our eyes, but it had no effect on these Goguryeos, and in this case, our men and horses were quickly defeated. ”

After Yue Yun finished speaking, Zuo Tiancheng added: "Your Majesty, if it weren't for General Yue risking his life to take the lead in rushing and killing, we really wouldn't be able to come back this time!" ”
