At about the same time that Mr. Woo was being followed, a heated debate was taking place in Pyongyang, the capital of Goryeo.

The debate was naturally presided over by King Choi Moon-deok of Goryeo, and the two sides of the debate were Ah Ulji and Yi Sung-hui, and the topic of the debate was how to move forward in the future of Goryeo.

Since Chang Miao suddenly withdrew his troops from Goryeo due to the rebellion of King Jin, Goryeo has somehow escaped from a huge crisis. However, because all this came so suddenly, and Chang Miao's actions were so rapid that Goryeo did not have time to launch an effective pursuit, and the army of the Silk Country withdrew to the north bank of the Yalu River with little loss, and improved the defenses along the river.

Due to the failure to successfully pursue, Li Chenghui was also questioned by many parties, but considering that if he hadn't taken the opportunity to send the main force from White Wolf Mountain to aid Anju, I am afraid that Pyongyang, the capital of Goryeo, would have been surrounded by the country of silk a long time ago, and the army that failed to catch up with the country of silk could not be compared with this credit after all.

In fact, Li Chenghui himself was somewhat satisfied with the army that failed to catch up with the Silk Country, because if the Silk Country suffered a large number of casualties when withdrawing the army, I am afraid that it would only attract more ferocious retaliation. For him, taking this opportunity to restore peace with the Silk Country is the most practical action. For this reason, while reorganizing the defense of the border, he presented to King Cui Wende and explained his position.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Prime Minister Park Anjae, his only ally in the DPRK, fell ill due to a stroke. The existence of Park Anzai is too important for Li Chenghui, if he does not try his best to deal with the Ayi branch party in the DPRK and China, then Li Chenghui's life on the front line will be several times more difficult than before.

Really. In just a month or two, the Ayi faction was in complete control of the situation in the DPRK. Li Chenghui's top table is like a mud cow entering the sea. There was no news. On the contrary, a large number of newly recruited soldiers were sent to the front, although they had already made up for the losses of the previous war. Eighty percent of these soldiers were under the age of 18 and over 40, and if these young and old men were to be sent to battle, it would undoubtedly show that Goryeo's agricultural production had been greatly affected. Unfortunately, in the last war, Goryeo lost too many elite soldiers and generals, and the vacancies created by these people had to be filled, so Li Chenghui could only arrange to train these personnel as soon as possible. However, Li Chenghui was not optimistic about the effect of the training, because these sources of soldiers were gradually replenished, and Chang Miao would not give him more time to train soldiers. According to intelligence, the Liaodong Army had already begun recruiting and training recruits long before withdrawing to the north bank of the Yalu River. This is not one step or two for the side. At the same time, Li Chenghui also made a decision - to enter Beijing to face the saint, he must explain the actual situation to His Majesty the King!

Li Chenghui temporarily handed over the forward defense to his sons Li Yong and Li Meng, and then rushed back to Pyongyang with his lieutenant Lu Xuan. As soon as he returned to Pyongyang, Roh Hyun, who had a keen sense of smell, sensed the strangeness of the atmosphere. It turned out that Lu Xuan's feeling was completely correct, Li Chenghui returned to Beijing for ten days before he was summoned by His Majesty the King, and Li Chenghui was almost alone in the court, except for Lu Xuan, he did not see a minister who could stand up for him.

Cui Wende supported his side face with one hand and quietly listened to Li Chenghui's words. Obviously, he was not interested in what Li Chenghui said, and the reason why he did not interrupt Li Chenghui's words. It's just out of respect for the veteran. Although Yi Sunghui said a lot, in fact, he only used the signs of the previous war to illustrate the harm of continuing to fight against the country of Juan, and the longer the war lasted, the greater the losses suffered by Goryeo. Rather than waiting until all is exhausted, it is better to make a proposal for peace when there is still room for peace.

Ayiji, who had been promoted to deputy prime minister, had actually taken control of the court, and his point was simple. Although the current situation is unfavorable to Goryeo, the internal strife in Juanzhi shows that the internal contradictions in Juanzhi are significant. It could not withstand a long war, and the Turgeon had already agreed to the Alliance's demands. If the two families send troops together to attack the country of Juan, the country of silk will be overwhelmed, and the situation will turn in Goryeo's favor.

After the two sides finished elaborating, Cui Wende stretched his waist, took a long breath, and said downward: "The marshal's words have all been understood, what do you think about this?" ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty almost said in unison: "I think the deputy prime minister is reasonable, please make a judgment!" ”

Li Chenghui trembled with anger when he heard this: Cui Wende knew that Ah Yizhi had controlled the court, and his question was simply to gag his mouth with the words of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces! At that moment, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty must not fight against the Silk Country again!" The rebellion of the king of Jin occurred at the time of the alternation of the old and the new in the country of Juan, which certainly shows that there is a political turmoil in its country, but Your Majesty, please see that the king of Jin has an army of more than 100,000, but this rebellion was completely quelled in less than three months, which is enough to show the strength of the country of silk. And when it comes to Tuqi, it is a country of tigers and wolves, and has never abided by the word Xinyi, and the red wolf Abicheril is even more of a hero, and he will promise that the alliance must have the intention of letting Goryeo drag down the country of silk, and then he will sit back and reap the profits. At that time, it will be my Goryeo who will suffer, and the gain will be a sudden contract. ”

Ah Yizhi hurriedly retorted on the side: "Lord Marshal, it's not right for you to say that. Let's take a closer look at it. First of all, although the rebellion of the Jin King in the country of silk did not last too long, it was a fight among the clans, which shows that the country of silk is actually in crisis, and Liu Yan must be skeptical of the commander of the army after this rebellion, and the army he can rely on is only the Liaodong Army, so the Liaodong Army will inevitably be distributed to various places, so the pressure on our country will be greatly reduced; Secondly, Abicheril, the Great Khan of Tukhi, may not be able to be trusted, but his coveting of the Silk Country is not fake. The country of Tuqi and the country of silk has a long national border, and the country of silk cannot be fortified everywhere, so the cavalry of the country of Tuqi can always find a place to start, and the country of silk will be exhausted because of this, and this alone is enough to weaken the national strength of the country of silk. We don't want an infinite war, what we need is to put the Silk Country in a two-sided unfavorable situation, wait for an opportunity to seize the land in the Liaodong region of the Silk Country, and then force the Silk Country to sign a contract with us, instead of groveling to the Silk Country to beg for peace now. ”

Hearing Ah Yizhi's words, a smile appeared on Cui Wende's face. Li Chenghui saw it in his eyes, and he already understood it in his heart. It's not that Cui Wende doesn't know the power of the Silk Country, but he refuses to admit in his heart that it was a wrong decision to go to war with the Silk Country, and is bent on seeking an opportunity to end the war. It's a pity that such an opportunity may not be able to wait, all he can wait for will be a full-scale attack by the Silk Country. The problem was that Ayichi had figured out His Majesty's mind earlier than he did, and painted him an illusory picture that would hopefully end the war with dignity, so much so that the king still hoped that he would be able to complete this illusory picture with the help of Tuqi and the civil strife in Juan.

Li Chenghui tried hard to think about how to advise in his mind, but unfortunately he never got the point. Lu Xuan, the deputy general on the side, secretly tugged at Li Chenghui's sleeve and signaled him not to continue. Li Chenghui hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed with Ah Yizhi's opinion.

After coming down from the court, Li Cheng would quietly ask Lu Xuan what he meant by his actions just now. Lu Xuan whispered: "Didn't your lord see that Your Majesty has made up your mind, if your Excellency continues to be stubborn, I am afraid that it will anger Your Majesty, and if Your Majesty dismisses your position in anger, who else can stop the attack of the Silk Country?" ”

Li Chenghui couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "You really know how to find something to do for the old man." I'm afraid the old man's old bones can't stop the army of the Silk Country. ”

Lu Xuan nodded and said, "I also have this worry below. But the most important thing now is to hold on to your own position, so that it is possible to prevent the plot of Ah Yi Zhi from continuing to expand. I don't think that Ah Yizhi is really capable of turning the tide after taking power, he is just a frog immersed in his own glory fantasy, and when he comes to his senses, I'm afraid it will be too late. In addition, you can use your relationship with His Royal Highness to ask His Highness to come out and ask His Majesty to go to Kaesong to collect military supplies. ”

Li Chenghui frowned, His Royal Highness King Fu Cui Jianjiang is the fourth son of the king. Although he is just in his early twenties this year, he is a prince who is both civil and military, and he is much stronger than the prince in terms of talent. Because of this, he has been oppressed by the crown prince. Li Chenghui once taught this prince martial arts, and he was also a master and apprentice, but what did Lu Xuan ask him to go to Kaesong for at this time?

Seeing Li Chenghui's hesitant expression, Lu Xuan explained: "My lord, please think that if we can't stop Ah Yizhi's conspiracy, then Goryeo will be in danger. If anything goes wrong in Pyongyang, the royal family will face a catastrophe. Just in case, let's let His Royal Highness King Fu go to Kaesong, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also a transit station for mobilizing grain and straw in the south, so as to leave the next move for the future. ”

Li Chenghui looked at Lu Xuan, since ancient times, generals who have not fought and defeated have always been unacceptable, and Li Chenghui has certainly had this view in his life. But he knew in his heart that Lu Xuan's worries were reasonable, and this method was also correct, but the gloom in his heart became more and more intense. (To be continued......)
