Seeing the Xianbei envoy Yan Pi leaving, Sima Yi walked out from behind the screen of the main hall, bowed to Luan Yi, and said, "Your Majesty, do you think the Goguryeo people will agree to the conditions of the empire?"

"Of course not," Luan Yi replied with a playful smile,

"Then aren't they afraid that I will wave my army to attack them,"

"According to the information sent back by the Goguryeo Aegis Hosaku, the new king of Goguryeo (the 'new king' is the king of Goguryeo) is an arrogant person," Luan Yi took a sip of tea proudly, "Although he has a certain fear of the imperial army, but in his eyes, the Changbai Mountain moat is an insurmountable moat of the imperial army, and he needs to control the mountain passes of Changbai Mountain, and it will be difficult for the imperial army to reach Goguryeo itself,"

"That's true," Sima Yi nodded,

Luan Yi continued: "More importantly, I deliberately inadvertently leaked an important message to him, the empire sent troops to Liaodong not only against him Goguryeo, but also Baekje, Silla, and Samhan, which gave him plenty of reasons for Baekje, Silla, and Samhan to let go of their previous suspicions with him, share the same hatred, and join forces to join forces to unite with the army of the empire."

Sima Yi is a smart person, and he immediately realized Luan Yi's intentions, "Your Majesty wants to catch them all,"

"Yes,"

"But Changbai Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult to break through the defense of Goguryeo alone, not to mention that the four countries are united," Sima Yi said worriedly.

"Who said that you have to go to Changbai Mountain to fight Goguryeo," Luan Yi picked at Sima Yi, and said: "Changbai Mountain is just a disguise, and the true direction of the empire's main attack is not here, which also explains why everything in the grassland is undecided, why I transferred the 80,000 soldiers and horses from Qingzhou and Xuzhou back to the empire early,"

"Your Majesty is saying," Sima Yi stared at the blue ** domain on the painted "Land Under the Sky" behind Luan Yi, and suddenly realized,

……

Just as Luan Yi had predicted, the new king of Goguryeo not only did not accept his national letter, but burned the delicate print to ashes.

Subsequently, he sent envoys to travel to the countries of Liaodong, and revealed the news that the Holy Chinese Empire was about to use troops on the peninsula to attack Baekje, Silla, and Samhan.

After the spring ploughing on February 28 of the 22nd year of the Shengyuan Dynasty, Luan Yi sent troops according to the agreement, and only 80,000 imperial guards were sent to the empire this time, and Luan Yi personally commanded the royal expedition, Lu Bu served as the deputy marshal, Guo Jia, Sima Yi and the newly emerging Lu Xun were appointed as military divisions, the marching master and the army Sima, the generals Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Lu Meng, Xiahou Yuan, and Xu Chu went out with the army, and Ma Chao, the governor of Luzhou, fought together with 20,000 Luzhou Qiang soldiers.

The vast army of locusts generally swept across the grassland, and the target was the Changbai Mountains.

To the surprise of Goguryeo and other countries, the huge army of the Holy Chinese Empire came with great momentum, but when it arrived at the foot of Changbai Mountain, it died down, and tens of thousands of troops stayed in the camp in addition to training the military formation, which was to practice military drills, and from time to time there were a few lively Keju, but they did not take the initiative to attack.

On the top of the mountain, the Baekje lord looked at the Central Plains people under the mountain with a disdainful expression, and said with a sneer: "The Central Plains people won't see that we are well prepared, so they're scared,"

Yan Pi rolled his eyes, "I advise you to know more about the Pope of the Central Plains before expressing his opinion, he began to lead troops to fight at the age of sixteen, and he was invincible and invincible, even the Qiang, Xiongnu and Xianbei people were not his opponents, who was he afraid of,"

"Then tell me why he didn't attack,"

Yan Pi shook his head, saying that he didn't know the reason, but one thing was certain, there must be a demon when things went wrong, and the people of the Central Plains must have some conspiracy brewing, "Order all armies, cheer up and guard the passes everywhere, especially pay attention to those mountain streams and paths, and don't let the enemy go around behind us,"

But he didn't know that even if he blocked all the mountain streams, paths, and rivers, he couldn't stop the process of the imperial army going around behind him, because the way for the empire to take the back road was not in the mountains at all, but in the vast sea.

At the same time that Luan Yi personally marched to Goguryeo, the 20,000 Qingzhou guards under the command of Yu Ban boarded the ship in Dongrae, and under the escort of the 20,000 North Sea Fleet sailors of Tai Shi Ci, they took advantage of the spring monsoon all the way north and arrived on the south coast of Baekje Kingdom.

Faced with a small country with no coastal defense to speak of, Baekje, the huge North Sea Fleet did not encounter any form of resistance, 20,000 Cheongju guards easily landed ashore, set up camp on the shore, Tae Shi Ci divided the fleet into two, 36 treasure ships and 81 Haixinglou ships continued to stay on the coast of Baekje to cruise, and the remaining 300 or so transport ships unloaded their baggage, turned around and returned to sail, and continued to send follow-up troops to Baekje.

The people of Baekje, who lived near the sea, soon discovered the anomaly on the seashore, and after seeing the huge warships and well-armed guards of the empire, they were frightened and hurriedly reported the news to the king of Baekje.

The king of Baekje suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground, and now, he transferred most of the domestic army to Changbai Mountain, intending to resist the invasion from the north together with Silla and Goguryeo, where did he think that the people of the Central Plains could cross the sea to reach his rear,

The Baekje capital city of Comfort Fortress is only 100 miles from the coast, and the soldiers and horses of the fortresses in the middle have been transferred, and it has almost become an empty city...... The army of the Central Plains people can reach the capital in less than two days, and in such a short time, he has no time to mobilize troops and horses to rescue.

Thinking about this, he knew that the capital could not be defended, so he fled to the north with his family overnight, and moved closer to his own army.

As he expected, after landing, Yu Ban first set up camp for the follow-up troops, set up a supply base for grain, grass, and baggage, and then, left 5,000 men and horses to garrison the camp, and personally commanded 15,000 troops to attack the capital of Baekje.

Along the way, there was sporadic resistance in Qiutai City, and Yu Ban did not waste time, and directly asked the sappers to push the earthen cannon out, and the explosives were disemboweled, and fell on the city wall of Qiutai, the explosions came one after another, not to mention the powerful blasting power, and the sound wave of the explosion alone overturned the dilapidated thatched houses of many Baekje people in the city.

After a round of explosions, a section of Qiutai's low earthen wall disappeared into the vast smoke and dust, and the Baekje people in Qiutai City saw this scene, let alone fighting, they couldn't stand steadily, and they knelt on the ground and asked for surrender.

With the help of the First Battle of Qiutai, the prestige of the imperial army was greatly shaken, and no Baekje people dared to resist wherever they passed, and the imperial army hung up the white flag early before it arrived.

Two days later, 15,000 Imperial Guards blew open the gates of the Baekje capital and poured into the city, and the battle went so smoothly that the Imperial Guards surrounded the palace with almost no soldiers.

The only regret is that the king of Baekje slipped away quickly and resolutely, and did not even bring the wealth he had hoarded in the palace, but only took some portable treasures and clothes and fled to Goguryeo with his wife, children, and some relatives.

The Baekje nobles, wealthy squires, and common people who stayed in the city and didn't have time to escape looked at the intruders wrapped in bright armor in front of them, before they heard about the brutality of the Central Plains people on the grassland, hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people died, causing the entire Xianbei tribe to be almost wiped out.

They are afraid that they will follow in the footsteps of the Xianbei people, that the wealth left by their ancestors will be plundered by the invaders, and that they will lose their precious lives.

However, their worries were obviously unnecessary, and they quickly discovered that after entering the city, the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains not only did not rush into their homes as they imagined, killing people and robbing things when they saw them, but took the initiative to maintain order, captured many wicked people who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob their homes and houses, and they also took out military funds to fund many poor people in the city.

Under the command of the generals of the Central Plains, the soldiers of the Central Plains pasted seals on the four gates of the palace, and sent special guards to guard them, and no one was allowed to break in.

In addition, every morning, the people of the Central Plains would send interpreters to shout around, telling the people of Baekje in the city not to be afraid, that the army of the Holy Chinese Empire was a good army, an army that brought peace, and that as long as the empire was not an enemy, the defenders of the empire would not endanger their lives and property.

There are Baekje people secretly mocking, since it is an army that brings peace and stability, why did they slaughter the Xianbei people before?

The translator seemed to hear his voice and explained: The empire will not kill innocents indiscriminately, before, the reason why the imperial army destroyed the Xianbei people was because the Xianbei people were repeatedly enemies of the empire, and for decades they had repeatedly detained the borders of the empire, slaughtered and plundered hundreds of thousands of imperial people, and the blood debt must be paid with blood, and the empire adopted a bloody policy against the Xianbei people in order to take revenge.

Hearing these words, the hearts of the people of Baekje were relieved a lot, and combined with the friendly actions of the imperial defenders in the past few days, some of the bold Baekje people began to open their homes and communicate with the imperial interpreters who could speak Baekje on the street.

Through the friendly, courteous, and friendly words of the interpreter, they became more and more convinced that the army of the Central Plains was harmless to them at the moment, and that they would be given adequate protection in their time of need.

The hearts of the people of Baekje were finally completely relaxed, and more and more people took to the streets to do business and buy food as they did before the war, and everything in the city was restored in an orderly manner.

Diametrically opposed to Yu Ban's successful capture of Baekje, Suhwang's campaign against Silla was met with stubborn resistance from the Silla people.

He went to sea at the same time as Yu Ban, but Yu Ban boarded the ship in Donglai and took the warship of the North Sea Fleet, while Xu Huang set off in Shouchun and took the big ship of the Yangtze River Naval Division under the jurisdiction of Wenpin.

Because the river ships were not as strong and wave-resistant as the sea ships, the warships of the Bun hired did not go deep into the sea, but sent Xu Huang all the way along the coastline to Silla.
