Goguryeo, the domestic city, is singing and dancing in the city at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The young king Yi Yinmo had only been on the throne for more than ten years, and he found that the capable farmer Yi Basu was the prime minister, and compared to the chaos of the Han Empire, Goguryeo could indeed be regarded as a song and dance at this time.

Even if the heavens and the earth have changed, even if the monsters and bandits are rampant, the state of Goguryeo is still thriving.

Therefore, most of the Goguryeo court supported the general Xie Wuwu to send troops to the four counties of Liaodong, and even the king Yi Yinmo, who had not been concerned much about political affairs for several years, also supported Xie Wuwu to seize the four counties of Liaodong.

At this time, the Han Dynasty was weak, and if they didn't take advantage of this time to seize the four counties of Liaodong, would they wait until the Han Dynasty became strong again, and then they would go to Goguryeo to face the Han Dynasty?

Sure enough, the general Xie Wuwu lived up to expectations.

According to the military report a few days ago, it has only been less than two months, and the four counties of Liaodong have been taken by General Xie Da, and only the corner of Xiangping City is stubbornly resisting.

The Goguryeo monarchs believed that in a few days, the four Liaodong counties of the Han Dynasty would be officially incorporated into their Goguryeo territory!

Compared with the Goguryeo monarchs and ministers who sang and danced, Prime Minister Yi Basu was silent at this time.

It was not that he feared retaliation from the Han Empire, but that facts speak louder than words.

When the general Xie Wuwu proposed to seize the territory of the Han Empire, Yi Basu was opposed.

Later, most of the Manchu Goguryeo monarchs and ministers supported Xie Wuwu to send troops to Liaodong, but Yibasu had no choice but to remain silent, but repeatedly told Xie Wuwu to treat the Han people well.

At this time, the four counties of Liaodong will be included in the territory of Goguryeo in the near future, and he has nothing to say!

……

Goguryeo, the capital of the country, the inner city, in the royal palace.

As soon as the song and dance was over, King Yi Yinmo was discussing with Prime Minister Yi Basu.

Seeing that the four counties of Liaodong will be incorporated into the territory in the near future, some things need to be prepared.

The general who sent troops to the four counties of Liaodong Xie Wuwu must be rewarded lavishly. However, the young Goguryeo monarch keenly felt that there could be rewards for high-ranking officials, but they could not reward the four counties of Liaodong without worry.

Xie Wuwu is already a general, in charge of all the soldiers and horses of Goguryeo, and then he has a piece of anointed land, the throne under his ass will be surnamed Yi or Xie in the future?

Secondly, according to Prime Minister Yibasu's suggestion, since the four counties of Liaodong have been taken, the more than 200,000 troops in the hands of Xie Wuwu must be transferred back to Goguryeo.

Nominally, it was to defend against the Samhan people on the southern peninsula.

Of course, in fact, it is worried, there are too many soldiers and horses in the hands of the general Xie Wuwu!

It must be known that at this time, in Goguryeo, there were no other soldiers and horses except for the thousands of palace guards in the domestic city.

Will the Sanhan people call at this time and not say anything, what if the general Xie Wuwu takes the opportunity to make trouble?

How did the throne under his Yi family's ass come about, Yi Yinmo still remembers!

These two points need not be discussed, for the young king and the loyal and capable prime minister were unanimously approved by a mere mention of each other.

What needs to be discussed is that the king Yi Yinmo wanted to move the capital, but the prime minister Yi Basu did not approve of it.

……

It is said that Goguryeo's current capital is in the middle reaches of the Yalu River.

It's a big natural basin.

More than 300 miles to the northwest is the Liaoshan Mountain Range, not far from the northeast is the Changbai Mountain Range, and to the south is the national border, bordering Lelang County, which has just been stolen by the Sanhans, and to the west, it is the Liaodong County that they Goguryeo has just captured.

Theoretically, the geographical location of the domestic city is very good, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, the environment of the entire Goguryeo Kingdom is quite bad!

In Goguryeo, there are nearly eight months of snow in 12 months of the year, and even if spring is late, the east wind blowing from Changbai Mountain still carries a coolness.

The young Goguryeo monarch was most dissatisfied with this.

There are only four months of spring in a year, and you have to pay attention to cold protection in the morning and evening; There is no good scenery when you go out, and he, the king of Goguryeo, is not even as good as a small official in the Central Plains in terms of enjoyment!

Relatively speaking, although the four counties of Liaodong are also bitter cold places, they are not a little better than their Goguryeo.

Therefore, the king Yi Yinmo wanted to move the capital to Xiangping City, Liaodong County.

Anyway, aren't the four counties of Liaodong about to arrive?

The young king's idea was good, but the prime minister, Yi Basu, was against it.

……

"Why?" The young king questioned the prime minister angrily.

For the prime minister Yi Basu, the king Yi Yinmo was satisfied, but on the issue of moving the capital, the prime minister obstructed it, and the young king expressed his incomprehension.

Yi Basu explained: "Great King, there is a common saying among the Han people in the Central Plains, which is called 'Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi'. ”

"It's true that the Great Han is weak at this time, but ten years later, or thirty or fifty years later, the Great Han will be strong again?"

"You must be looking for us to calculate the account of Liaodong!"

"Dare to ask the king, even if our Goguryeo is ten times stronger, can we defeat the empire of the Central Plains?"

Yi Yinmo shook his head, indicating that he couldn't beat it.

Fools know that the Han Empire in the Central Plains has thirteen states, and the population is counted in tens of millions.

And what about Goguryeo?

The population is only more than 2 million, and the adult males of the whole population are all soldiers, and there are only less than 300,000 troops.

If they really go head-to-head with the Han Empire, they are afraid that Goguryeo will be wiped out in a few minutes!

And this is the reason why Yi Basu opposed the dispatch of troops to the four counties of Liaodong at the beginning.

……

"But it has nothing to do with moving the capital, does it?" King Yi Yinmo was still puzzled.

Anyway, the four counties of Liaodong are all in hand, and if the Han Empire becomes strong again, it will definitely find them to settle accounts with the Goguryeo people. If you move the capital, you can't run away from this account, and if you don't move the capital, you can't rely on this account.

Since sooner or later it will be settled by the empire of the Central Plains, what does it matter if the capital is moved or not at this time?

Yi Basu smiled bitterly: "If the capital is moved to Xiangping City, and the Han army comes to attack, we won't be able to run if we want to!" ”

"It's different in the city."

"Because in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, our Goguryeo is a barren land. It is precisely because it is a barren land of bitter cold, once the Han army comes to attack, it will be difficult, and when we can't beat it, we can escape more calmly, right? ”

In this way, Yi Yinmo can understand. "The prime minister is really high-minded."

Wang Zan gave the prime minister a thumbs up, and then asked rhetorically: "But, let's move the capital to Xiangping City, can't we go and enjoy it for more than ten or twenty years first?" ”

"When the Han army is about to attack, it's not too late for us to withdraw to the domestic city."

"This snowy scene at the foot of Changbai Mountain, this king is really tired of seeing it!"

Hearing this, Prime Minister Yi Basu choked his head, and the king's idea was only afraid that the civil and military officials in the Goguryeo court would have it.

When Yi Basu was trying to find a reason to persuade the king not to move the capital, there was a "bang" alarm bell and rang with the domestic city.

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of fear.

"What's going on?!"
