Feng Lun sighed softly: "Don't hide it from the Prime Minister of Yizhi, the temper of the supreme of my family, you should also know a little bit about it, he is not the kind of person who likes to listen to his subordinates' straightforward admonitions, and his face is wrong, and now his side has surrounded a large number of people who can only flatter and tend to be inflammatory, including my benevolent Yu Shiji, although he has the grace of saving and promoting me, but I still want to say that at this point in state affairs, these people are to blame." ”

Yizhi Wende nodded: "So you Mr. Feng don't want to be a competitor, right?" ”

Feng Lun smiled slightly: "Yes, don't say it's better than it, I don't even want to be Gao Ying, I gave my life for a false name, it's not counted, besides, our Feng family has always been the first in the family, as for who is the emperor, in fact, it is not the most important, after the change of dynasty, and then allegiance to the new emperor is, the good bird chooses the tree to perch, and the virtuous minister chooses the lord and serves." ”

Yizhi Wende was confused, and said while shaking his head: "Mr. Feng, you still had a high opinion of serving the country just now, which made me admire it, but why do you say such things now?" Which of your statements is true and which is false? ”

Feng Lun smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Mr. Yizhi, these two sentences are Feng's heartfelt words. To be precise, we close our family and hope that the world will be stable, and only when the world is stable and the court situation is stable, can we enter the court as officials, protect our glory and wealth in the court, and protect our own family property and land deeds in the local area. This is our family in the Central Plains, and they don't want to mess up. ”

"But if the emperor is too unsuccessful, loses the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and causes chaos in the world, and the country is unstable, then we have to look at the situation, if he can make more concessions to our families, and give us more power and fiefs. Then we should do our best to serve it, and it is our duty to put down rebellions at home and conquer enemy countries abroad. ”

"But on the other hand, if he really can't make it and can't make it on the wall, then we, the families. Whether it is a Shandong scholar like me, or a nobleman with military merits in Guanlong, we will find a way to find another master to serve, and after the change of dynasty, we are still the founding fathers and can continue to maintain our prominent position. The so-called king does not share the world with the people, but with the family, and he is at most an alliance leader, which is the reason. ”

Eji Wende nodded: "I kind of understand this time." You are also equivalent to our Goguryeo ministers, as well as the eldest brother below, the hereditary nobles of the Great Lu, as long as you can guarantee the hereditary power and wealth, then it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, but you don't want the world to be in chaos, this is the hereditary power that will really threaten you, right? ”

Feng Lun nodded: "That's right." Therefore, we, the literati family, do not want the emperor to fight for many years. It makes the country unstable, of course, those Guanlong military nobles are happy when they hear about war, which is contrary to the interests of our family, so for me, it's okay to fight. However, we must not cause domestic turmoil and thieves to rise up, because once the world is in chaos and out of control, it will hurt our fundamental interests. So this Goguryeo conquest. It has to be stopped. ”

Yizhi Wende's brows softened, and he smiled: "I understand what Mr. Feng meant, it seems that in this regard, you and I have the same needs." We don't want the Sui army to really occupy Liaodong, we just hope that he will teach Yuan Taizuo a lesson, if he really lets Yuan Taizuo's main force be wiped out in a battle, then he can't even defend Liaodong City, which is beyond our bottom line and must not be allowed. ”

Feng Lun said with a smile: "Yes, I don't want the Sui army to really occupy Liaodong this time, once Liaodong is won, the supreme will be greatly stimulated, and the generals under him will also be excited, clamoring to attack your Goguryeo headquarters, in this way, the army will be outside for longer and longer, and the country will be more unstable, which is not allowed." Therefore, my personal bottom line is that the Sui army will besiege Liaodong City for half a year at most, and it can't cross the Yalu Water, nor can it capture Liaodong City! ”

Yizhi Wende laughed: "Happy, Mr. Feng is really a cheerful person, it's okay, you and I will confess to each other, and it will be easier to cooperate in the future." Then let's abide by this bottom line together, the situation here in the Sui Army, please also ask for your help, as for the information here in Goguryeo, I will also contact you according to the agreed method, communicate with each other, you have information, maybe you can make suggestions to your supreme and improve your status and right to speak. ”

Feng Lun smiled slightly: "Then let's strengthen cooperation in the future." I wish the Minister of Eulji all the best. ”

There was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and the sound of the armor leaves on the sergeants clashing from far and near, and a short fire dragon was walking towards it, and a voice shouted: "Who is there on the riverbank?" ”

Yizhi Wende nodded and arched his hand towards Feng Lun: "There will be a period later!" He turned around and disappeared into the icy Liao River, and suddenly disappeared.

Feng Lun turned around and said loudly to the Sui army patrolling in the distance: "I am Feng Lun, a native of the Inner Shishe, and I came here with my guards to survey the hydrology and find a way to break the enemy, my own people!" ”

On the other side of the river, after half a pillar of incense, Yizhi Wende took more than 100 water ghosts out of the water, and was already waiting here, Yuan Taizuo, who did not have a torch, immediately stepped forward, and handed it to Yizhi Wende with a bowl of ginger soup, with a face full of concern: "Lord Yizhi, hard work, how did you talk?" ”

Yizhi Wende's face was pale, he took this bowl of ginger soup and drank it all, although his water quality was good, but after all, he was nearly sixty years old, and he sneaked back and forth at the bottom of the dark and cold Liaohe River, almost took half of his old life, it was really hard, just now he was supported by a few subordinates to act, almost speechless, after pouring this bowl of ginger soup, the stomach was hot, and he felt alive.

Yizhi Wende breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped his lips, and said: "Lord Yuan, the situation is urgent, maybe the Sui army will fully cross the river in a few hours, our army must evacuate now, this time the Sui army is ruthless, made careful arrangements, and forced the crossing with pontoon bridges everywhere at the same time, our army is difficult to resist!" ”

Yuan Taizuo's face changed greatly, he had always been calm, when he heard the news, he couldn't help but be a little panicked, he said in a deep voice: "Lord Yizhi, didn't you say during the day that the Sui army would not be able to attack until two days at the earliest, why do you say now that you will do it tonight?" ”

Yizhi Wende gritted his teeth: "The situation has changed, that Wang Shichong is only afraid that he has seen our hypocrisy, so he tried his best to instigate the Sui army to attack, now there is no need to say too much, hurry up and arrange the evacuation." (To be continued......)
