History is like a kaleidoscope, you sing and I appear.

When Murong Chui died, the power that rose on the corpse of Houyan was not only a Wei State, but also a Goguryeo State.

Originally, Goguryeo was only a small force and surrendered to Houyan, but now it has become the largest force in Liaodong.

According to the "Records of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Remains of the Three Kingdoms", in the second year of the establishment of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, that is, in 37 BC, the prince of Buyeo, Jumeng, fled from Buyeo to Buyeo, the capital of Buyeo, due to discord with other princes, and established Goguryeo.

At the beginning of the establishment of Goguryeo, it was in a military confrontation with Buyeo for a long time.

Buyeo has always been friendly with the Central Plains Dynasty, so much so that the Central Plains Dynasty often cooperated with Buyeo to attack the Goguryeo Kingdom (such incidents are often found in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" and "Book of Han").

However, Goguryeo was not simple, and under the suppression of Buyeo, it gradually became stronger and expanded its power into the Han River valley (in Korea).

In 53 AD, King Taejo of Goguryeo followed the example of the Han Empire to implement centralized rule, which greatly increased the national strength.

In 56 AD, King Taizu annexed Dongwofu, and later annexed part of the territory of Donghao, and even invaded the four counties of Han.

However, at that time, the Han Empire was at its peak, and in the face of military pressure from the Han Empire, Goguryeo was forced to move its capital to Marudu.

After the establishment of Cao Wei, Goguryeo invaded Liaoxi, but was strongly counterattacked by Cao Wei, and the capital was destroyed by Wei's famous general Biqiu Jian.

Cao Wei thought that Goguryeo had perished after destroying the capital of Maru, so he quickly evacuated.

But in fact, Goguryeo did not fall, and seventy years later, Goguryeo rebuilt the city of Marudu, and began to attack Liaodong, Lelang and Xuansu.

In 311 A.D., that is, the fifth year of Yongjia, the Yongjia Rebellion, the beginning of the Wuhu Rebellion, broke out.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, Goguryeo attacked Anping in the east and west of Liaodong in autumn and August of that year, cutting off all the water and land passages from the Korean Peninsula to Liaodong.

Three years later, Goguryeo conquered the four Han counties and gained control of the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.

To this day, when the 19th King of Goguryeo, Gotandeok, was in power, his national strength was at its peak.

Gao Tande has a very high status in the history of Joseon, almost equivalent to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu on the Chinese side.

In later generations, he was honored as the Good Queen, also known as the Great King of Gwanggae-tu, the King of Gwanggae-tu, and was the most powerful monarch in the history of Goguryeo.

Before Gao Tandeok ascended the throne, it was an eventful time for the Goguryeo Dynasty.

At that time, Goguryeo was not strong, and its borders were unstable, and it was often gained and lost.

Goguryeo had seven wars with Former Yan, and even the capital of the Kingdom of Maru was once destroyed and burned by Former Yan.

After the demise of the former Yan, the latter became the dominant again, and Goguryeo had to continue to be a grandson.

It was not until Gotandeok ascended the throne that the situation gradually changed in favor of Goguryeo.

Among them, the Later Yan began to decline sharply and fell into disputes with the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Baekje began to decline due to natural disasters, and history provided a broad stage for Gao Tande to display his talents.

Gao Tande also did have the ability, and less than five years after his accession to the throne, he had developed Goguryeo into the strongest force in Liaodong.

Later, he reorganized the Goguryeo army and focused on training elite troops and sailors.

At that time, Goguryeo was surrounded by Baekje to the south and west.

In order to contain the possible invasion of Baekje at any time, Ko Tan-deok has been committed to waging war with Baekje.

Four years ago, in July, Gotan-deok led his army to attack Baekje and captured ten castles including Seohyeonseong.

In October of that year, he captured Gwanmyseong, an important town in the north of Baekje.

After that, Baekje sent troops to fight back against Goguryeo in order to regain the lost territory.

Not to be outdone, Ko Tan Deok repelled Baekje attacks several times in Gwanmi Castle three years ago, Sutani Castle two years ago, and Hunsu last year.

The year before, in order to defend against the invasion of Baekje, he built seven fortresses on the southern border.

This year, Kotan-deok led his army on a large-scale attack on Baekje, conquering dozens of cities north of Alisu and hundreds of villages.

He even besieged the capital of Baekje and approached the city, causing King Baekje to surrender.

After taking King Axin's younger brother and ten ministers of Baekje as hostages, Gao Tandeok returned to China in triumph.

From then on, Goguryeo officially regained control of the Korean Peninsula.

……

Marudu City, in the palace of the Goguryeo king, the music is in unison.

The envoy of Northern Yan, who was sitting on the right, secretly looked at the Goguryeo king Gao Tande, wanting to see some clues from the other party's face.

However, this Goguryeo country was watching the palace maid dance intently, and there was no trace of strangeness on his face.

This made the envoys of Beiyan feel a little upset in their hearts, and they didn't know if they could complete the king's entrustment.

Since the death of Murong Chui, the Murong Xianbei people, who once dominated the military and the army, and dominated Hebei and Liaodong, have completely declined.

Not to mention that it can't compare to the old rival Tuoba Xianbei, and even the subject country of Goguryeo back then is much inferior.

As long as the thought of Northern Yan being sandwiched between the two major forces of Wei and Goguryeo, the envoys of Northern Yan couldn't help but feel a thrill.

In case Wei and Goguryeo jointly sent troops to attack Yan, it would be tantamount to a catastrophe for Murong Xianbei.

Don't think that this is impossible, not to mention that there is a deep blood feud between Wei and Yan, and there is also a lot of filth between Yan and Goguryeo.

I think that back then, when Murong Xianbei was strong, he sent troops to captivate Goguryeo, and even broke through the royal city of Marudu.

In the past, the Yan Kingdom was strong, but it was not worried about Goguryeo's retaliation.

But now it's different, even without the help of Wei, Goguryeo alone is enough to sweep Northern Yan.

At the end of the dance, Gao Tande waved his hand, removed the song and dance, and called a dozen or so high-class palace maids.

"Your envoy take a look, see if you have a favorite candidate?"

When the envoys of Northern Yan saw that the King of Goguryeo still entertained him with the old rules, they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

He immediately smiled and casually pointed to the two young palace maids.

This scene fell in Gao Tande's eyes, which made him despise Yan Guolai more and more.

When the envoys of a country are facing the life and death of the country, they still think about personal enjoyment, what future does the country have?

Gao Tande quietly hid the contempt at the corner of his mouth and replaced it with a full smile.

"Your Excellency, I don't know why Your Excellency came here today?"

As soon as he talked about business, the envoy of Beiyan hurriedly cheered up and said: "My king heard that the lord of the country had won a complete victory in the southern expedition to Baekje, and specially ordered the foreign ministers to come to congratulate the lord of the country. ”

"For this reason, my king specially crowned the lord of the country as the pastor of Pingzhou, the two kings of Liaodong and Daifang!"

After speaking, the envoy of Beiyan looked at Gao Tande, and it was not until the other party calmly knelt down to accept the title that he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, in order to win over the Goguryeo people, Murong would take out all the titles that originally belonged only to the children of the Murong family.

At this time, the national strength of Yan was not as good as before, and it had to admit the regional hegemony of Goguryeo.

And this year, although Goguryeo won a great victory in the southern expedition, it needed time to recuperate.

Therefore, although Gao Tande is no longer in the eyes of Yan Guo, he can't fall out with Yan Guo at the moment, so he has to accept the title first.

"This ...... Presumably, the lord of the country also knows that at present, Suo Lu is invading Liaodong on a large scale, and I wonder if Goguryeo can send troops to help Dayan? ”

Gao Tande hesitated: "It is said that as a subject country of Dayan, the widow has the obligation to send troops to help the kingdom repel the Suolu. ”

"This is my honor in Goguryeo, and this king is also happy."

"But the envoy should know that this year I, Goguryeo, have just fought a big battle with Baekje in the south."

"Although he defeated the other party by luck, his own losses were also very large."

"In view of this, it is very likely that the widow will not be able to give substantial help to the kingdom."

"Please also ask the envoy to go back to play King Mingyan, don't blame the widow for being disrespectful."

"So the lord of the country is unwilling to send troops to help my Dayan?"

"The envoy's words are wrong, not because he is unwilling, but because he has more than enough heart and not enough strength!"

"The small people of Goguryeo are weak, and there have been wars for many years, how can there be food, grass, and troops to support the kingdom, and the widows are also helpless."

"You ......"

Looking at Gao Tande without the slightest emotion on his face, the envoy of Beiyan just wanted to get angry, but sat down again.

Before coming, Murong Hui repeatedly explained that even if he couldn't ask for reinforcements from Goguryeo, he would never be able to conflict with the other party.

Now Tuoba Jue led an army of 100,000 to invade Liaodong, which has made the Yan Kingdom restless.

Under the thirst of the distant water in Hexi, Goguryeo is the only straw in the Yan Kingdom at present.

Don't look at Goguryeo as a subject country of Yan, but the strength of the two countries is not what it used to be.

Since Gao Tande's accession to the throne, Goguryeo has gradually become the largest force in Liaodong, while Northern Yan is not as good as day by day.

Nowadays, there are requests for others, and for the arrogance of the Goguryeo people, the envoys of the Yan State can only endure their inner dissatisfaction.

Gao Tande had long been aware of the situation in Beiyan, and he also knew the purpose of Murong Hui's mission.

Therefore, he was not at all worried about refusing Yan Guo's invitation.

Now the Yan State is no longer enough to threaten Goguryeo, and even Goguryeo has the strength to sweep the other side.

In the end, although the Northern Yan envoys were warmly received in Goguryeo, they did not ask for a single soldier to help them.
