Chapter 597: Different Choices

Since last year, Minister of State Cang Zhuli brought back the news that King Yan Weishuo wanted to take back the two counties of Obifang and Lelang, King Michuan fell into a panic, and he did not think that Goguryeo was an opponent of Liaodong. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

King Michuan felt very aggrieved by this, and he and Goguryeo Wenwu spent countless efforts to let Goguryeo see a glimmer of hope for revival, but before he could enjoy the fruits of victory, King Yan wanted to knock him to the ground again with a stick.

As the day set by the Great Sima drew closer, King Mikawa knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer.

Inside the city of Marudu, on the Jinluan Palace, even though it is now noon. But the Great Dynasty Meeting continued, and King Mikawa did not say anything about dispersing the Dynasty. The ministers below, even if they are already hungry, can only wait.

In addition, everyone's faces were full of sorrow.

Although King Yan had issued an ultimatum to Goguryeo, most of the people in Goguryeo were unwilling to accept the conditions put forward by King Yan.

But every Goguryeo person knew very well that Goguryeo did not have the strength to resist the attack of the Liaodong Army.

Once the Great Sima refuses the suggestion, then the destruction of Goguryeo is just around the corner!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Jin Da Sima has issued an ultimatum to my Goguryeo, either accept the conditions of Liaodong and move the whole country to the Samhan Peninsula; Either refuse the king of Yan and prepare to resist the invasion of the Liaodong army. Where to go, you Aiqing may wish to speak freely. ”

Hearing this, Goguryeo's civil and military forces suddenly fell silent, in fact, everyone knew very well in their hearts that even though Goguryeo had accumulated a lot of wealth under the rule of King Michuan in the past few years, there was still a huge difference in strength compared to Yan State.

Moreover, there was no natural danger between Yan and Goguryeo, and everyone really did not have the courage to refuse King Yan.

Looking at the silent courtiers, King Mikawa couldn't help but feel a little angry, and had no choice but to pin his hopes on Kurasuke.

"I don't know if the prime minister has a strategy to help the widow get through the current difficulties?"

"Great King, the Yan country is powerful, once the conditions of the king of Yan are rejected, with the current strength of Goguryeo, it will not be able to stop the wolf-like Liaodong army at all, and I am afraid that it will not only return the two counties of Obifang and Lelang, but it is very likely that Goguryeo will fall into a place of no return."

"Then according to the will of the prime minister, we can only accept the conditions of Liaodong and move the whole country to the Samhan Peninsula?" Hearing this, King Mikawa's face became very ugly.

"What else could it be? Once the Liaodong army comes to the city, I am afraid that even moving to Sanhan will be an extravagant hope, and what awaits us will be the ruin of the country and the destruction of the family. Let's not forget that the ruthlessness of Sima Weishuo of the Jin Dynasty was as widespread as his wisdom, and almost as many Hulu died at his hands as there were people from Goguryeo. ”

As soon as the prime minister's words fell, some Goguryeo ministers and nobles turned pale, and many people still remembered that Wei Shuo had just killed nearly 200,000 Qianhu after the battle of Zhuoxian.

"Alas! Let's go, the widow can't make my whole country fall into a place of no return. ”

"The king is wise!" Seeing that King Mikawa was going to accept Liaodong's conditions, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief and shouted in unison.

Looking at King Mikawa, whose face was still embarrassed, Kura Sukeri stepped forward and persuaded: "King, in fact, agreeing to the conditions of Liaodong is not all bad for Goguryeo, and it may make Goguryeo go to its heyday from now on." ”

"What do you mean by that?" King Mikawa wondered.

"The Great King, along with his colleagues, exchanged territory with the Yan Kingdom and allowed Goguryeo to migrate from the rich Mazishui Valley to the barren Samhan Peninsula, which seemed to be a big loss for Goguryeo, but in the long run, it greatly benefited Goguryeo."

"As we all know, that Jin Da Sima Weishuo was ambitious and full of hostility to the barbarians around him, and any barbarian who did not obey the Yan State would not be able to escape his blow. During his time in the Yan Kingdom, he saw with his own eyes that Da Sima launched a war against the Hu tribes of Mobei Rouran and Eile because of a disagreement, which shows how strong Da Sima is. ”

And the capital city of Goguryeo-Marudu is close to Liaodong County, and there are no mountains and rivers in the middle. If you stay here for a long time, it will inevitably clash with the powerful Yan Kingdom in the future, and the slightest carelessness will bring the disaster of destruction to Goguryeo. ”

"If Goguryeo moves to the Samhan Peninsula on the occasion of this territorial exchange, it will not only rely on the dangers of mountains and rivers, but also stay away from the threat of Yan and reduce the possibility of conflict with the other side. On the contrary, we were able to manage the Samhan Peninsula with peace of mind and fully integrate it under Goguryeo's rule. ”

"Once Goguryeo completes the digestion of the Samhan Peninsula, Goguryeo's national strength will at least double, and at that time, with the Wolf Forest Mountain and the Daedong River as natural risks, Goguryeo will have the capital to protect itself. I won't be like this now, facing the threat of Yan Kingdom at hand, but I, Goguryeo, am helpless. ”

After listening to the Prime Minister's words, King Mikawa's face looked a little better, but he was still a little worried about abandoning his homeland, which had been in business for a hundred years, and heading to the Samhan Peninsula, where the future was uncertain.

"Great King, Great Sima has proposed a territorial exchange, and it is obvious that it will not be changed again. Goguryeo may have no choice but to execute. I also hope that the king will endure the humiliation and burden, and must not lose the big because of the small. ”

"Well, according to the words of the Minister of State, the widow was able to revive Goguryeo from a ruin, and today he is confident that he will lead everyone to create a new situation on the Samhan Peninsula."

"The king is wise."

……

While Goguryeo was seeking to move south to Sanhan, Li Xiong, the lord of Cheng Han, was also discussing the coming storm with his subordinates.

"Ladies and gentlemen, last year the Jin Dynasty Sima launched a final attack on the Karma, and the demise of the Karma completely changed the current situation and had a huge impact on my Cheng Han. In the past, Liaodong was contained by Liaodong, and it was impossible to attack Cheng Han, but now that Liaohu is destroyed, Liaodong has turned its target to Shu. ”

"Now that Da Sima has asked Cheng Han to merge into Liaodong, let's talk about it, how should Cheng Han respond?"

Listening to Li Xiong's words, the civil and military people in the hall couldn't help but think. In recent years, they have heard of the prestige of the Liaodong army's invincibility and invincibility, and the great Sima took the brave and warlike Liaodong soldiers to destroy the Xianbei, Xiongnu, Diqiang, Qianhu and other Hulu, and expanded the territory under his rule several times.

"Your Majesty, in fact, Liaodong has been using me to become a Han from the beginning, so that they can concentrate on dealing with other enemies, and now that the northern Hulu have been eliminated, Liaodong's foreign policy has undergone great changes." Prime Minister Fan Ben couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Father, we might as well just turn our faces! Why suffer from this kind of?! ”

The eldest son, Li Yue, was young and vigorous, and he was unwilling to be tied up. In fact, there are many people in Chenghan who have this idea, and most of them are the third-generation children of the Li family. These children have not experienced the arduous entrepreneurial process of the first and second generations, and most of them live an arrogant and lascivious life, and they are definitely unwilling to give up their power and status.

Li Yue's words hit Li Xiong's heart like a hammer, he didn't think about turning his face with Liaodong, but when he thought of the powerful strength of the north, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Li Xiong is not as simple as Li Yue and other younger generations to think about the problem, he knows very well that as the Great Jin gradually comes out of the pain of the Yongjia Rebellion, and his strength is getting bigger and bigger, the hope of Cheng Han separating is getting smaller and smaller.

This time Liaodong asked Cheng Han to give up resistance and merge into the Yan State, wasn't it the beginning of the unification war launched by the King of Yan?

"If he turns his face with Yan Guo, is Cheng Han sure to block the attack of the Liaodong Army?"

Li Xiong did not reprimand his eldest son Li Yue for being abrupt, but asked his subordinate Wenwu if Cheng Han could block the offensive of the Liaodong Army.

"If it is a head-to-head duel, Cheng Han is naturally not the opponent of the Liaodong Army, but I, Cheng Han, have the geography of Shuzhong to rely on, as long as the army can't shrink, no matter how strong the Liaodong Army is, what can I do? In addition, the minister thought that we could also ask for help from Wang Dun, the general of the Jin Dynasty. Wang Dun has always been at odds with Wei Shuo, and he will definitely not watch Cheng Han be destroyed, otherwise once King Yan enters and occupies Cheng Han, it will affect the stability of Jingzhou. ”

"Anyway, if you make good use of the geography of Shuzhong, coupled with Wang Dun's help, you may not have the strength to fight."

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the Prime Minister's proposal?" Li Xiong was obviously moved, and hurriedly asked everyone's opinions.

"The prime minister's proposal is very appropriate, and the minister agrees."

"The minister also agreed with the prime minister's suggestion, if Wang Dun can be united, coupled with the geography of Shuzhong, there is hope to block the invasion of Liaodong."

"Okay, since you don't have any other opinions, then let's follow the Prime Minister's suggestion!" (To be continued.) )
