Chapter 120: Yoshida

Marutsu Castle

Goguryeo Royal Palace

Gao Zhao asked Yoshida to leave the palace first, he needed to be alone and quiet, thinking about what he should do next, Yoshida didn't say anything, just left the palace silently, Yoshida walked outside the palace, looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was filled with a kind of blood, Yoshida was a little dumbfounded, maybe he was dazzled, right? How can there be blood in the sky?

Yoshida walked to the front of the palace gate and looked at the Goguryeo soldier standing there, the soldier saw Yoshida looking towards him, and unconsciously erected his chest up, his expression looked a little cramped, Yoshida smiled, glanced at the corner of his mouth slightly, didn't say anything, and left on his own.

Yoshida thought as he walked: Goguryeo's civil strife has eroded to this point, and in such a situation, Duan Bu Xianbei actually ignored the opposition of other Xianbei tribes and directly attacked Goguryeo, and the action was even faster than I imagined...... That's a good move. After this battle, I am afraid that Goguryeo will become a puppet regime in the Liangliao region, which can barely be regarded as a good ending, and I dare not think of a bad ending at all......

Yoshida seemed to rub the rough walls of the palace city intentionally or unintentionally, Yoshida was silent for a moment, and suddenly said to himself: "What kind of person is Duan Chen? ”

Yoshida decided to go to the castle to have a good look, and thinking of this, Yoshida walked towards the castle.

When Yoshida came to the city and saw the army formation of the Xianbei cavalry outside the city, he saw that the Xianbei cavalry was encamped, it turned out that Su Li saw that the sky was gradually darkening, so he ordered a part of the men and horses to start camping ten miles away from the city of Marudu, out of prudence, Su Li arranged Duan Meng to lead the main force of the Blue Banner to be responsible for the vigilance, in case the Goguryeo people in the city of Marudu lost their minds and went crazy, they would not be caught off guard.

The Goguryeo general Ofu, who had been guarding the castle, saw that Yoshida had come to the castle, and hurriedly walked up to Yoshida in three steps and two steps, and said, "Prime Minister, why did you come to the castle?" It's too dangerous here, so let's get out of here! ”

Yoshida waved his hand and said, "Yifu, come with me!" ”

Yifu sighed, turned his head and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Serve snacks, don't be stolen by Xianbei people!" With that, he walked to the front, waved his hand, and motioned for Yoshida to go.

The two of them walked on the city wall like this, and neither of them opened their mouths to break this quiet silence, and as they walked, Yoshida suddenly asked Yifu, "Yifu, what do you think of the king?" ”

Ifuku was a little surprised when he heard Yoshida ask, but he still said: "Our king is a great king, a wise and martial man, who can lead Goguryeo to become strong and make Goguryeo stronger and stronger!" ”

Yoshida listened to what Yifu said, smiled and didn't speak, and continued to ask, "Then what do you think of the Xianbei people outside the city?" ”

Yifu frowned, he was very dissatisfied with Yoshida's attitude, it seems that this guy is a little disrespectful to the king? However, because Yoshida is Gao Zhao's confidant, Yifu had no choice but to suppress this dissatisfaction, and had to express this dissatisfaction with his voice. ”

Yoshida's smile grew even bigger when he heard Otto say this, he reached out and patted Otto's shoulder, and said, "General Otto, you can't just look at the surface of everything!" Look, King Xichuan is strong enough, right? Just under our noses, he was killed by the Xianbei people, is this something that a savage can do? ”

As soon as Yifu heard Yoshida's words, his face suddenly became bad, and he said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, do you want to turn your back on the king?" Take refuge with the savages! With that, he dragged his saber out a lot, and there was a faint murderous aura overflowing.

Yoshida glanced at Otto and said, "General Ottofu, do you remember?" When Yoshida was shipwrecked and drifted to land with a broken plank, if it weren't for the king, Yoshida would have fallen into the belly of the fish and became the food of fish and shrimp. ”

Yi Fu said angrily: "Then what do you mean? ”

Yoshida glanced at the angry General Yifu, and he was not angry, but said lightly: "I thought that although the Xianbei people outside the city were border savages, they were by no means comparable to ordinary barbarians. ”

Yoshida didn't care about Yifu's reaction, and said to himself: "I heard that the Xianbei clan in the Duan Department has strict punishment and strict laws, and it is known as harsh. The chieftains to which the Duan Department belonged were unbearable, and there were many who threw themselves into the Yuwen Department or the Murong Department, but who could have thought about it? In a short period of time, Duan Xianbei has formed a whale swallowing trend in Liangliao, whether it is the Yuwen Department or the Murong Department, they have all been cleaned up and obedient, and Duan Bu seems to have a great character! ”

Yi Fu snorted coldly and said, "What about capable people? After all, it's just a group of savages, at best a smarter savage, and there is a monkey king among the monkeys? What's so strange about one or two kings among the savages? ”

Yoshida smiled and said, "The Xianbei people arose in the homeland of the Xiongnu for hundreds of years. They do not obey the king, have no etiquette writing, and although they control hundreds of thousands of horses, they are just a rabble. or was provoked by the Central Plains Dynasty to sow discord and kill each other, or was driven to conquer everywhere, no matter how bad it was, it could only do some robbing and robbing the border fortresses, and it would not become a big climate. However, if there is a male lord among the Xianbei people, under the leadership of the male master, the Xianbei people will become a powerful group. ”

Yoshida's face gradually became heavy: "Duanbu's reputation for being harsh is mostly due to the contempt of those tribal chiefs. These canal chiefs were originally relatively independent Xianbei tribes, but they only paid tribute to the Duanbu, and the relationship was not close or even extremely loose. In the process of unification of the sections, the interests of the various chiefs must be damaged, and it is natural to complain. However, the Xianbei tribes of the Duan were able to bring all the large and small Xianbei tribes under the strong rule of the Duan Division, forming a large army. ”

Hearing Yoshida say this, Yifu was stunned, leaned on the wall with his hand, and sighed lowly, not knowing what was muttering in his mouth.

How could Yifu not know in his heart how dangerous the current situation is, when the Liangliao region was chaotic, Goguryeo could still fish in troubled waters to seek greater benefits for itself, but once a powerful military group was formed in the Liangliao region, Goguryeo's good days would come to an end, and how could Goguryeo's country be maintained? In fact, Yifu himself has no bottom in his heart.

Yoshida raised his eyes and looked down at the city, the camp of the Xianbei people had almost begun to take shape, it seemed that the camp could be set up before nightfall, and there were four thousand troops patrolling under the city of Marudu to prevent the Goguryeo people from sneaking out of the city to attack, Yoshida couldn't help but smile, where can the Goguryeo people think of a sneak attack now?

From time to time, there were cheers from the Xianbei people, it seemed that the leading generals were patrolling, otherwise, how could they be so loud?

It's about to get dark. The afterglow radiated a strange glow, shining on the shivering Goguryeo people, on the Marudu Castle, and on the Xianbei cavalry who were preparing to celebrate.
