After all, once they formed an alliance with Yan, they must lead the army to Liaodong in accordance with the requirements of the alliance to fight against the army under Wang Wu, and in this way, it will be a great damage to the military strength of Goguryeo, which has just recovered, and besides, the strength of the Jin army is very strong, in case of defeat, they Goguryeo will be in danger of dying, as the king of a country in Goguryeo, Gao Zhao naturally does not want to see such an end, for this reason, he is a little hesitant in his heart.

Murong De had already said everything he could, and since Gao Zhao still couldn't make up his mind to form an alliance with Yan Guo, he was naturally helpless, and with a fist swing, he turned around and left the main hall and returned to the post house to rest.

After Murong De left, Yao Xiang hugged his fists and advised him a few times, but Gao Zhao did not trust Yao Xiang who had just taken refuge, so he didn't want to talk about it with Yao Xiang at all, and on the grounds that Yao Xiang had just arrived in Marudu and didn't know much about the environment near Marudu, he asked Yao Xiang to retreat first and go to the streets and alleys of Marudu to get acquainted with the various situations in Marudu.

Yao Xiang was very helpless, and under Gao Zhao's order, he had to leave the palace hall and go to the streets of Marudu to wander.

After Yao Xiang left the main hall, Gao Zhao looked at his henchmen and courtiers, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you think this king should form an alliance with Yan Guo regardless of his past suspicions!" ”

Obviously, Gao Zhao was still very hesitant to form an alliance with the Yan army, and for this reason, he was very eager to know the opinions of his subordinate generals.

A courtier hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the micro-ministers, Yan Guo can't defeat the Jin army, and wants my Goguryeo army to go to Liaodong to be cannon fodder!" This matter must not be agreed, otherwise, I will be the elite army that I have accumulated over the years in Goguryeo. It will be completely destroyed again. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen also feels the same way, when the Yan Kingdom was strong, he bullied me Goguryeo, and now he is in trouble, but he wants me Goguryeo to rescue them, isn't this wishful thinking? I, Goguryeo, must not do that. Another minister objected loudly.

"Your Majesty. The tens of thousands of troops under Wang Wu's command are still far away in the south of Liaodong, and there is still a long distance from our Goguryeo, at least, in a short period of time, Wang Wu's army will not threaten our Goguryeo, so there is no need for us to lead the army to Liaodong at all, as long as we guard the land of our Goguryeo. There is no need to spend troops and horses to defend Liaodong of the Yan Kingdom, besides, my Goguryeo and the Great Jin have always been friendly, as long as we don't provoke the Jin army, they will not attack our Goguryeo at will. One of the generals said loudly.

Obviously, most of the many courtiers under Gao Zhao's command did not support an alliance with Yan State, and felt what Murong De said. Somewhat alarmist, after all. There was no contradiction between Goguryeo and the Great Jin, and there was no contradiction between it and Hua'an, in this case, even if Liaodong was captured by the army under Wang Wu, Wang Wu's army would not attack in the direction of Goguryeo, after all. They felt that it was necessary to be famous in order to fight, and it would be rude and barbaric for Wang Wu to attack Goguryeo for no reason. There will be no victory.

When Gao Zhao heard this, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, he also felt that what his subordinates said was very reasonable, after all, Yan Guo was like a tiger wolf, and forming an alliance with Yan Guo to fight against Wang Wu's army was tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, and he might not get any benefits in the end, and even would eventually be annexed by Yan Guo.

However, Gao Zhao does not trust the Wang Wu Army very much, after all, Hua'an's power has been expanding, if Liaodong is really captured, whether the Wang Wu Army will suddenly launch a large-scale attack on Goguryeo, he really can't predict, for this reason, his heart is worried, Murong De's lips are cold, and from time to time it will stimulate Gao Zhao's heart and make Gao Zhao nervous.

Gao Zhao looked at his courtiers and said, "The so-called human heart is separated from the belly!" Murong Jun, the king of Yan, wants to form an alliance with my Goguryeo, so naturally he has no good intentions, but the Jin army may not be good! In case, the Yan Kingdom is really defeated, and I, the Great Goguryeo, don't I have to face an even more powerful enemy? Isn't that worrying? After saying that, there was a look of worry on his face.

At present, the most important thing for the ministers of Goguryeo is how to keep Goguryeo, and the elite soldiers and horses that have been accumulated in a few years, after all, if these elite soldiers and horses are exhausted again because of the war, Goguryeo will decline again, and thus become the target of bullying by others.

"Your Majesty, now the soldiers and horses under the command of Wang Wu are still far away in the south of Liaodong, and there are nearly a thousand miles away from the capital of our pills, if our army goes thousands of miles to the southeast of Liaodong to fight with the soldiers and horses under the command of Wang Wu, the logistical pressure is extremely great, and the Yan State cannot give any supplies, so our army will be at a great disadvantage in terms of logistics, and it will not be able to occupy an advantage in terms of troops, so how can our army achieve victory, so, no matter what, my elite army of Goguryeo must not go on an expedition to fight in the south of Liaodong, Only when Wang Wu's army reached the north of Liaodong, not far from our Goguryeo, could our army attack and win. A general, analyzed loudly.

Obviously, this general analyzed it very well, and analyzed the Goguryeo army from both the strength and logistics of the army, and under what circumstances it was possible to win the battle.

"Your Majesty, now that the Wang Wu Army is still far away in the south of Liaodong, our army will not be able to achieve victory in the battle, so we can't form an alliance with the Yan State now, and when the Wang Wu Army attacks the northern part of Liaodong, it will pose a threat to the western border of our Goguryeo, and it will not be too late for us to form an alliance with the Yan State!" A minister, clenched his fists, said.

When Gao Zhao heard this, he frowned and thought for a while, and said: "It seems that this can only be the case, so it's better to do it like this!" Stabilize Murong De with good food and drink first, and then consider the matter of forming an alliance with Yan State after the situation in Liaodong changes. ”

"The king." All the courtiers clasped their fists and complimented in unison.

Gao Zhao nodded with satisfaction, and then discussed with his courtiers how to take advantage of the current situation to seek the greatest benefits for Goguryeo.

For several days, Gao Zhao, the king of Goguryeo, did not give Murong De any reply, which made Murong De look very anxious, but Murong De thought about it carefully, this is a military matter, and naturally it is necessary to consider it carefully before making a decision, so he stayed in Marudu City and patiently waited for Gao Zhao's reply.

In order to reassure Murong Jun of Jicheng, Murong De would send his entourage back to Jicheng every day to tell Murong Jun all the situation in Marudu City without reservation, so that Murong Jun could understand all the situations in Marudu City.

In the city of Luoyang south of the Yellow River, Hua'an and his henchmen are very happy, now, Xie Ai's army has arrived on the south bank of Yishui, and has a fierce confrontation with the main army of Yan, and there is a momentum to break through the Yishui defense line at any time, and in the direction of Liaodong, tens of thousands of troops of Wang Wu's army have also gained a firm foothold in the south of Liaodong, and together with Xie Ai's army, they have formed a strategic deterrent to Yan on both sides.

Hua An looked at his subordinate generals, and said: "Today's momentum is really good, General Xie and General Wang have both achieved great victories, and the Yan Kingdom is now without the power to counterattack, if it continues like this, it won't be long before the Yan Kingdom will collapse!" Hahaha! He laughed.

"What the king said is extremely true, now, our army has achieved a great advantage, the two armies attacked at the same time, which has overwhelmed the Yan country, and now, the king of Yan must be very regretful, regret that he should not have been so impulsive, sending 300,000 main troops south, and now, his 300,000 army has lost at least half of its troops!" Zhuge Xiong happily agreed.

"Your Majesty, if our army sends another reinforcement to the south bank of Yishui to reinforce General Xie Ai, the Yishui defense line deployed by the Yan Kingdom will soon be broken!" Wang San said loudly.

Hua An smiled and said: "Although there are still many soldiers and horses in the hands of this king, they cannot be mobilized at will to fight against the Yan Kingdom, with the soldiers and horses under Xie Ai and the soldiers and horses under Wang Wu, it is enough, and there is no need to increase troops to Hebei at all." ”

Obviously, Hua'an is still a little worried about the Jingzhou army, after all, Huan Wen has gathered at least 200,000 main troops in the north of Jingzhou, and there are still 100,000 soldiers and horses in the south of Jingzhou.

"Report, Your Majesty, General Xie sent an urgent report." At this moment, important news came back from the Hebei direction again.

Hua An hurriedly came down and said, "Present it immediately." ”

When the little colonel heard the order, he immediately took a few steps forward and handed Xie Ai's letter into Hua'an's hands.

Hua An didn't dare to delay, immediately opened Xie Ai's letter, and skimmed through it roughly, and after reading it, he nodded with great satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, what did General Xie say in his letter, is it that our army has broken through the Yishui defense line of Yan State." Seeing that Hua An was overjoyed after reading the letter, Wang San hurriedly asked.

Hua An shook his head and said with a straight face: "General Xie reported that our army organized several offensive operations to force the crossing of Yishui in a row, but they all ended in failure. ”

"Your Majesty, since our army has failed to break through the Yishui defense line in several attacks, why are you still so happy?" Wang San asked suspiciously.

Hua An smiled and said: "The Yishui defense line, Yan Guo has been operating for a long time, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our army counterattacked all the way, and when we arrived at the south bank of Yishui, the front of the army has been blunted, and it is impossible to break through the Yishui defense line, which is already expected by this king, so this king will not be surprised, and the strategy proposed by General Xie to deal with Yan Guo coincides with what this king thinks!"
