this day.

There were dark clouds in the sky and thunder rolling.

It seems like it's going to rain again.

Yuan Xi harnessed the four phases, took the Fengshen Wing Dragon, and arrived at Marudu City first. See that Marudu Castle is built against the mountain, towering into the sky, and the steep castle towers and undulating mountains complement each other to form a perfect fortification.

Hiss...

Yuan Xi gasped.

No wonder Goguryeo can crisscross the Han border for hundreds of years without being destroyed, like such a city fortification, who can conquer it?

In order not to startle the snake, he only watched from a distance. Covered by dense dark clouds, he circled around Marudu City, remembered the general terrain, and flew towards He Mao and Cui Yan's camp.

"Who?"

As soon as Yuan Xi's four disagreements fell outside the Chinese army's tent, they were surrounded by a group of soldiers.

"It's the lord, meet the lord." There was a leading centurion who had seen Yuan Xi.

"Meet the Lord..."

The soldiers bowed in amazement.

The Anemo pterosaur was still hovering overhead.

Yuan Xi turned over and asked the centurion, "What about He Mao and Cui Yan?" ”

"Back to the lord, in the tent."

He Mao and Cui Yan walked out of the tent one after another, and when they saw the four incompatibles and the wind god pterodactyl, they were all shocked and stepped forward to salute. Yuan Xi smiled and said, "General He Mao, Mr. Cui Yan, long time no see?" ”

"Lord, what are you?" Cui Yan's gaze kept swirling over the body of the Four Phases and the Wind God Pterodactyl.

"My two little pets are not bad, right?" Yuan Xi replied casually, waved to the soldiers outside the tent, and said, "You all get up." Then he went into the tent.

He Mao and Cui Yan looked at each other.

Two small pets?

The four phases and the Fengshen pterosaur are small pets?

Follow Yuan Xi into the account.

There was a pleasant greeting.

He Mao arched his hand and said: "The lord's father-in-law led the army to meet Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Goguryeo, I don't know how the battle is now?" ”

Cui Yan also looked worried.

"You're too ill-informed, aren't you?" Yuan Xi found a place to sit down, and said with a smile: "As early as a month ago, the armies of Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Goguryeo were defeated by me. Now our army is divided into two routes. All the way to regain the Great Wall, all the way to attack Goguryeo. The armies of Zhang Jaw, Li Dian, and Le Jin immediately arrived at Marudu City. ”

"Really?" Both couldn't believe it. Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Goguryeo, with a combined 250,000 foot cavalry, were defeated in just a few months?

"It's all the old calendar..."

Yuan Xi was a little impatient, waved his hand and said, "Xianbei and Wuhuan are no longer afraid. The main force of Goguryeo was also annihilated by me in Yuyang. The crux of the war now is... How to destroy Goguryeo? ”

"You came here a long time ago, what do you think about the destruction of Goguryeo?" Yuan Xi asked.

Cui Yan sat aside and pondered.

He Mao replied: "My lord, the Goguryeo royal city of Marudu, there are not many troops stationed. As far as we know, less than 20 thousand. But it's dangerous and hard to overcome. Even if there were large siege equipment, they could not be transported to the city gates. ”

He walked up to a map on the right and pointed, "My lord, please look at this mountain road." It is about five miles long, coiled up the mountain, and leads directly to the Marudu Castle Tower. On the left side of the road are cliffs, and on the right side are ditches, arrow towers, horse rejection and other facilities. There are more than 5,000 Goguryeo elites, and if we want to reach the Marudu Castle Tower, we have to go up the road... ”

He Mao introduced.

Yuan Xi's brows were also slightly furrowed, and he walked to the map and said, "When I came here just now, I also saw this mountain road. It's really hard. Do you have a solution? ”

"This..."

He Mao and Cui Yan looked at each other and shook their heads secretly. If there were countermeasures, they would have fought a long time ago, and would they still use the garrison here? I hope that Yuan Xi can come and get an idea.

He Mao's eyes rolled, and he grinned: "Lord, your two little pets..." ”

"They don't take a city." Yuan Xi understood He Mao's thoughts.

"Uh..."

"The minister thought that the terrain of Marudu was too dangerous and not easy to attack. You might as well send an envoy to negotiate with Gao Yanwei. Cui Yan said.

"What to talk about? Will he agree to give up Maruto City? Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, don't forget, this is a war to destroy Goguryeo, no matter what the conditions, he will not agree." ”

"It's the minister's inconsiderate consideration..."

"It doesn't matter."

Yuan Xi stared at the map and thought for a while: "After the soldiers and horses of Zhang Jaw, Li Dian, and Le Jin arrive, we will discuss it well." I don't believe it, how strong can Marudu Castle, which is only garrisoned by 20,000 troops? He's impregnable, and I'm going to have to pry it open. ”

.....................

.....................

Yuan Xi, He Mao, and Cui Yan discussed in the tent. In the royal city of Goguryeo, the nobles, civil and military personnel were not idle, preparing grain, grass, and equipment, and actively deploying troops.

The king of Goguryeo, Gao Yanwu, went to the Purple Spirit Palace to find his youngest daughter Gao Ling.

"Where's the princess?"

"Back to the king, the princess is inside." A palace maid owes herself.

"Call her out." Gao Yanwu's face was very ugly, and he sat aside with a hum.

"Yes."

The palace maid went in to report.

It didn't take long.

Gao Ling, dressed in a Hanfu men's dress and combing a ponytail, walked out, and said with a smile: "My daughter has seen her father." ”

"You can still laugh?" Gao Yanwu rebuked angrily: "It's all your fault." If you hadn't proposed a marriage and made my Goguryeo lose face, how could the nobles force me to give the order to attack Youzhou? Now that Yuan Xi's army has been drawn, my Goguryeo disaster is coming! ”

Gao Ling sat aside, his smile did not change, and he said indifferently: "Father scares his daughter, the Han army is coming to the city, not once or twice, which time did it come in again?" However, Yuan Xi came to Marudu City, but it was a good opportunity.... Gao Ling dragged his chin with one hand, thinking about the moment when he was rescued by Yuan Xi when he was by the Da Liao River, and couldn't help but smile shyly.

"Shut up!" Gao Yan stomped his feet worriedly, and scolded: "Are you lacking heart? Yuan Xi has already refused to marry, and they have all hit the door, and you are still thinking about him.... ”

"I just think, I just think..." Gao Ling got up and hummed, "I don't just want to, I'll go find him now." ”

"You dare! Stop! ”

Gao Yan shouted angrily, and when he saw that Gao Ling ignored him, he shouted to the guards outside the door: "Stop the princess!" From now on, she will not be allowed to leave the palace gate without my order! ”

"Father...."

"Humph!"

Gao Yanwu flicked his sleeves and left quickly.

Gao Ling regretted it in her heart, she should have taken advantage of Gao Yanwu's inattention and secretly went out of the city, how could she say in front of Gao Yanwu to go out to find Yuan Xi, isn't this self-defeating.

Although she is under house arrest, her heart will not be idle, and she is still racking her brains to think about how to escape from the palace.
