Cheng Yun looked at Lu Xuan's eyes flickering, and he had already guessed a few points in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Lord Marshal, before you can adopt your advice, you need to figure out one thing. In the next few years, although he has been under the care of Lord Ayizhi, it is not a domestic animal that he raises, so there is no need to act for his interests and orders. ”

After Cheng Yun's words broke his doubts, Lu Xuan's face turned slightly red, and said, "Lord Cheng said this, aren't you afraid that Lord Ayizhi will know about the chill?" ”

Cheng Yun's face did not waver at all, and replied: "It is indeed Goryeo who has defected to the end of the road, and he has indeed been taken care of by Lord Ayiji since he became a guest general. But please don't forget that although I am not a Korean, I hope to win this war more than any Korean! If Goryeo loses to the country of silk, it will be nothing more than two results in the end. First, the death of Goryeo. Second, Goryeo surrendered and paid indemnity. Either way, there is no way out. If Goryeo surrenders, then the head of the next person is one of the items on the gift list, if Goryeo perishes, there is nowhere to go in the next, is it possible to let the sea swim to the Wa country to send people under the fence, and then wait for an edict to be sent to the Wa country, and the Wa king will cut off the head of the next person and send it back to the silk country?

Therefore, the only way to survive in Xia is to let Goryeo win this battle, which is even more enthusiastic than that of the marshal! And what the Prime Minister is doing now is not only helping Goryeo win the war, but sending Goryeo to the abyss from which it will never recover! He controlled the entire city of Pyongyang, and all news unfavorable to him could not reach the ears of His Majesty. In fact, His Majesty and his entourage have been placed under house arrest by him, but His Majesty himself is not aware of it. Singing and dancing in the city of Pyongyang. The king also thought that the army of the Silk Country had lost its backbone since the loss of Chang Miao, and Tuqi also launched a war against the Silk Country behind his back, and now the Silk Country was no longer able to launch a large-scale attack. The situation cannot be reached. The people are in dire straits, and the king indulges in wine all day long, and the hearts of the army and the people will be lost one by one, and the interior of Goryeo has begun to collapse. The reason why Zai Xia gladly came to Anju City and told the marshal and Pan was precisely to save the country before the entire Goryeo Kingdom collapsed! ”

Lu Xuan stared at the guest general's face until he finished saying all these words. What Cheng Yun said was indeed the truth of Goryeo, and it was also the problem he had been struggling with in his heart. And from Chengyun's standpoint, his position is coupled with the current chaos in Goryeo. The only one who can cooperate is himself. Therefore, Lu Xuan thought that what he said was not a lie, so he said: "Thank you Lord Cheng for being so open and honest and saying these heartfelt words to your subordinates." But have you ever wondered why Ben Shuai is so reluctant to act when he knows that the situation is like this? ”

Cheng Yun smiled slightly and said, "Because Your Excellency is a loyal minister." As the marshal of Goryeo. Ordered to defend the border. If a large area of territory is abandoned without a war, then the morale of the army and the people, which is already in danger, will be even more shaken; Moreover, if it retreats, it will also bring Pyongyang closer to the enemy's advance, and the Goryeo Army will have fewer options for strategic maneuver. All of this will be used by Al Chi as evidence that he is slandering you in front of His Majesty, and the situation will be even more critical if Goryeo loses the protection of a loyal vassal like you. That's why you can't make up your mind to withdraw your troops and abandon your defenses. ”

Lu Xuan nodded slightly as he listened. Indeed, Cheng Yun is quite a strategic and tactical talent. What he said cut to his heart. Then he said: "Since Master Cheng fully understands the hardships below, why do you have to be blunt? ”

Cheng Yun clenched his fists again. Said: "Please forgive me for speaking out. Marshal, you are wrong. Now Goryeo's only hope is not this land, but this army in your hands, which is the foundation of victory over the country of silk. Now that the border areas have no money, no food, once the country of silk invades on a large scale, who can hold on to these cities? If these cities fall one by one, more than half of Goryeo's military strength will be wiped out, and with the remaining troops, will it be possible to hold the line from the Cheongchon River to the Taedong River and prevent the fall of Pyongyang City? I'm afraid not. So instead of being crushed by the enemy in one fell swoop, and then losing the area north of the Qingchuan River, and taking the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, why not simply withdraw to the south of the Qingchuan River and leave this barren land with no food to the country of silk? In this way, if they want to attack us, they will have to cross this distance, which will at least put some burden on their grain transports, and we will be able to get a little respite and save our strength to fight again. As for the safety of Pyongyang City, I believe that even if the city is abandoned, Goryeo will not perish, and it is just a symbol. On the other hand, if we attach too much importance to the status of the capital, then we will inevitably narrow our strategic choices. Instead of doing this, it is better to take the initiative to abandon Pyongyang and move the capital to the south, so as to leave a broad room for maneuver for the army to maneuver with the country of silk. Moreover, forcing Pyongyang to have to fall, and also breaking the control of Ayiji, and making His Majesty the King wake up to the current situation, isn't it a good thing for Goryeo? ”

Lu Xuan couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this passage from the finished cloud. It seems that Cheng Yun has seen through the situation of Goryeo in the past four years of dormancy, and he knows better than himself how Goryeo should deal with the powerful Silk Country - abandoning Pyongyang and moving the capital south to carry out a long-term struggle, and it is impossible for the Silk Country to face the war in both the two directions of Tuqi and Goryeo for a long time. At this point, his beloved old boss Li Chenghui also had a similar judgment, he had already sent His Royal Highness Cui Jianjiang, the Fu King, to Pingcheng when Chang Miao invaded the country, but Cheng Yun's idea was even bolder.

"What Sung said may be correct, but unfortunately he does not have such a great authority to influence the strategic policy of the whole of Goryeo." Lu Xuan directly said the crux of the problem.

Cheng Yun nodded in agreement, and said, "With the current political situation, it is indeed not easy to achieve this step. However, we can lay out in advance in order to achieve this goal, and once the situation is available, we can take advantage of the situation to promote this pattern. For example, now that winter is now in place, after the heavy snow covers the mountains, it is impossible for the country of silk to take any action. We can take advantage of this opportunity to gradually shift our combat personnel, food, and baggage to the southern front in the name of changing defenses, and at the same time begin to gradually strengthen the defense facilities in the south to prepare for the future. If we prepare one day earlier, the chances of victory in the future will be one point higher, at least north of the Datong River, how to deploy the army is still within the scope of your authority, marshal, right? Ah Yizhi just wants to intervene, and you don't have to pay attention to him. ”

Lu Xuan listened, lowered his head and muttered for a long time before raising his head and saying, "Lord Cheng, let the two of us build an iron wall of distance to win a victory for Goryeo." ”

It wasn't until this moment that Cheng Yun put down a stone in his heart: his gambling of abandoning Ah Yizhi and switching to Lu Xuan seemed to be the first step to success, and the next thing was how to use his ability to turn this defeat into a victory. He was once put on the side by Chang Miao and lost everything, but now he finally has a chance to regain control of the army and wash away the resentment and humiliation of the past four years. Now that Chang Miao is no longer alive, those generals of the Liaodong Army are just mediocre people, can't they clean up these guys in their lives?

In this way, Roh Hyun, the last general of Goryeo, and the ambitious Chengyun reached a consensus and opened new defensive measures to deal with the attack of the Silk Country. Cheng Yun did exert his abilities as the general of Liaodong in the country of silk, but he ignored the two new stars who had grown rapidly in the past four years, Gao Dingbian and Wang Hanxin.
