~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pego did die, of course, not to do with the curse of the Maham, because the king of Goguryeo was already dead before the Mahan swore an oath.

Bo Gu's death is normal, there is no unnatural factors, it stands to reason that the old king dies, the new king succeeds, and there should be no problem. However, the last thing that should go wrong is what went wrong.

Bo has two sons, the eldest son is Baqi, and the second son is Yimo. In the order of the eldest and youngest, of course, Hatchy should succeed to the throne, but on the issue of the new king's succession, Hatchy was stuck. According to the record of "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", it is "if the people are unlucky, the people will jointly establish Yiyimo as the king", which is obviously the official language and cliché of the ancients. Lucky "unscrupulous", who defines sex? Who can represent the "Chinese people"?

Goguryeo was still a small backward country with a semi-slavery system at this time, and its strength was only for the smaller weak countries in its neighbors, and for the Han Dynasty, that was the difference between ants and elephants, and the Han Dynasty only used two border counties to crush it to death. Even though Goguryeo was able to wave its mantis arm a few times during a certain period of time, on the whole, it was still a vassal of the two counties of the Great Han Dynasty. In such an advanced country as the Han Dynasty, he still dare not speak of "Chinese people", a country of nearly half of the country's slaves, what kind of people can talk about?

In fact, throughout the ages, ancient and modern, at home and abroad, whenever it comes to the struggle for power, the ownership of the throne has always been a competition for comprehensive strength, and the king is defeated or defeated. No exceptions. Public opinion is in the hands and pen of the victors.

According to the letter of Bogu's widow and sister of the side concubine of Wei Qiutai, Baqi has a rough temperament and is indeed "unscrupulous", but Bogu has no idea of abolishing his position as the crown prince, but thinks that the eldest son, whose personality is quite similar to his younger self, is more suitable to be the king. What Goguryeo needs most at the moment is not a benevolent monarch, but a tyrant.

But the problem is that the subordinates don't think so. Baqi's Bahu offended many subordinates, and he only admired force and did not understand unity, and his political skills were even more messy. As a result, as soon as Bogu died, among the five tribes of Goguryeo, except for the Juannu tribe of the Baqi wife clan who supported him, the other four tribes were all opposed, and Yiyimo, who was very good at making friends and people on weekdays, was promoted as the king.

Becky was in a hurry. He is a superstitious man of force - second son, don't you have a higher opinion than me? Okay, I'll make a name for yourself higher!

Since the second year of Jianning, Xuansu Taishou Geng Lin attacked Goguryeo, and Bogu asked for surrender to the future. For more than 20 years, there were no conflicts or wars between Goguryeo and the Han Dynasty. Whether it is Baqi or Yiyimo, they have only led troops to fight the surrounding small tribes. Or bully your husband. The Han Dynasty, to be precise, Xuansu County, they didn't dare to provoke.

But. Now that Cheng Dù has exchanged military merit for fame, he can't care about anything. Baqi was often surrounded by some generals who had plundered the three counties of the Han Dynasty with his father, and after these people were drunk, they liked to talk about how to loot the three counties back then:

"The Han Dynasty is different, any commoner has more property than the clan elders of the people and the Yilou people."

"The Han girl is also very good - I have a brother who previously robbed a woman from Yilou as a concubine. You all know that every household raises pigs, the center is a circle, outside the living circle, and the whole body is coated with pig ointment in winter...... I spent one night at my brother's house, Mom! That smoked! Later, my brother followed the king into Lelang and robbed a Han girl. As a result, after returning home, he didn't say a word, so he sold the cheap girl in Yilou. ”

"Speaking of Lelang, I still remember the wife of Lelang Taishou that the king robbed, tsk, that fine skin and tender meat......"

Lelang's wife, Lucky remembers, when she was a child, she saw her when she was a child, and she was a very white woman...... Well, it was white, for his father was thick and black, and when he rode on this woman, the contrast between black and white was so strong that he was impressed. However, the woman's time in the palace was short, and she was soon ransomed.

Listening to these words all day long, how could Becky not be moved? At the same time, he gradually despised the combat power of the Han army.

Just when Baqi was about to move and say goodbye to his brother, good news came one after another: first, he heard that Liaodong rode Du Wei Ma to rebel, exterminate the Gongsun clan, and seize Liaodong. At this time, the new chaos in Liaodong was settled, and the people's hearts were not at peace, so it was a good time to take advantage of the weakness. Next, someone sent a gratifying news, Liaodong is too guarded and fierce, and it is very likely to fall into the hands of the Karasuma people in Liaoxi, Liaodong will be in chaos, and the White Wolf Army will be leaderless. It's a great time to get in.

So what are you waiting for? Baqi immediately led 2,000 horses and entered Gaima County in the east of Kou Xuansu County. Since there had been no war on the border for more than 20 years, the county of Sageima was defenseless and almost breached. When the Goguryeo army of Baqi was robbing and looting, they suddenly received news from that person that Sun Xian, the Taishou Gongsun Xian, had sent 2,000 cavalry reinforcements, which would arrive soon. Baqi was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly adopted the man's strategy, and under the leadership of the leading party he sent, he fell on the path that reinforcements must pass, suddenly attacked, and defeated the Xuansu army, so Gongsun Xian asked Liaodong for help.

Subsequently, that person proposed that he should come forward to persuade the Goguryeo army to retreat, and the other party was named, and Baqi benefited, and everyone was happy.

People have helped so much, of course Baqi knows the truth of repaying the favor, anyway, he has almost grabbed it, and this time he entered the Kou, besieged Xigaima City, defeated the Xuansu army, and his reputation in the army has also reached a new height. I believe that when he returns to the domestic city with these trophies and glory, the elders who are against him must be able to weigh it well.

This is the truth of the invasion of the Goguryeo army led by Baqi. There are external causes, there are internal causes, there are external cowards, and there are internal ghosts. Only then did more than 2,000 slaves frequently succeed and poison the borderlands.

Of course, there could not have been such a detailed content on that letter, and many things were beyond the knowledge of a woman in the deep palace. There are a lot of things that Ma Han has speculated on his comprehensive intelligence, but there are some things he doesn't know for a while, such as the person who led the wolf into the house, which he can't know, unless he can capture Baqi alive......

Ma Han slapped the letter on the case and said: "Catch up with Baqi and annihilate it!" Capture it alive! ”

……

At dawn, a Liaodong thousand cavalry selection army composed of 200 white wolf horsemen, 500 Hu cavalry, and 300 more cavalry guards, one person with two horses, and a sword and bow at the waist. With enough seven days' rations and horses, he galloped out of the barracks and galloped south.

Bing Yuan and Guo Yuan each got out of the adjacent tents, looked at the billowing dust and smoke in the distance, frowned and waved their sleeves to fan the dust. It wasn't until the thunderous hoofs died away that the two coughed a few times and bowed to each other—although the two were from the same county, the same family, and companions, and were extremely familiar with each other, they still had good manners in greeting and saluting. Scrupulous.

After seeing the ceremony, the two were about to go to the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, but they saw a guard rushing over and saluted the two respectfully: "My lord asked the two gentlemen to slow down with the army led by Xiahou Sima, and the lord has already taken the first step." ”

"What? Could it be ...... The vanguard army was actually led by the envoy? Bingyuan and Guoyuan were both shocked.

The guard replied proudly, "Exactly." ”

Bing Yuan's thick eyebrows were first raised high, and then slowly lowered, his face was expressionless, and he turned his head to Guo Yuan and said, "Zini, we have all looked away." This gentleman is just a horseman. Hum! If you are not in a foreign land, you will walk away! ”

Guo Yuan also shook his head and sighed: "If you are so urgent, you will be in danger, and there will be unforeseen disasters......"

Ma Han naturally didn't hear the comments of these two sages. But he could guess how ugly their faces would be, but he had a reason why he had to do it.

According to Wei Qiutai's intelligence, three hundred miles away. It is the early royal capital of Goguryeo, Susheng Bone City, which is a stone fortress built on a steep and difficult mountain, and is said to have been built by Jumong, the founder of Goguryeo. The steepness and fortification of this stone fort city. Even the most powerful meeting of the Fuyu Kingdom fought with Goguryeo, but it never captured this city.

Ma Han only watched Wei Qiutai draw a sketch, and he really felt that there were really some doorways, and if he attacked it, he would definitely have to pay a heavy price. At present, there is a lot of plundering and a large number of captive Han people, and the slow movement is the best opportunity to eat it. Once missed, they were slipped out by the Baqi army and entered the Bone City. At that time, the soft meat will turn into hard bones, not to mention that you can't eat them, and you will have to break your teeth.

To make matters worse, the pass to the south of the city is the main road leading to the city, and if a large number of enemy soldiers are stuck here, then the Liaodong army will be in a dilemma before destroying the enemy army. enter, for fear of being cut off by the enemy; retreated, and was afraid of being pursued by the enemy's ranks. And if you change your path, it will take time, and when you arrive in the domestic city, I am afraid that people will have already cleared the wall, and Chen Bing will wait.

The opportunity must not be lost, time is not waiting, Ma Han must catch up with Baqi before fleeing to the city of Bone of Susheng, and eat this slave. Therefore, he had to ride lightly, lightly armed, and personally choose the front - only when he personally went out on horse, could he not be afraid of the Goguryeo ambush, and could he quickly and boldly chase after him.

Ma Han had no choice.

The scorching heat of June and the long-distance march were a test of will and morale for an army. Ma Han's selection of the front army is specially selected, two hundred white wolf horsemen, is his subordinate, Da Xu pointed out, the sword mountain and the sea of fire have to break through; The five hundred Hu riders were the ones who voluntarily signed up among the three thousand Hu horses, and the promise of the horses to them was that the Goguryeo people's things would belong to them as much as they could; The 300 Fuyu cavalry guards can be regarded as the elite of the Fuyu country, and where their king is, they must follow him. It's hard to say how effective the Fuyu people are, but there is no problem in enduring hardships and standing hard work.

It is such a joint cavalry army, braving the scorching sun, braving the scorching heat, regardless of the strokes suffering from heat stroke, being injured, falling behind, and bitten by snakes and insects, and traveling at a speed of more than 100 miles a day through the mountains and mountains. On two occasions, they were ambushed by the Goguryeo people and the natives of the Yilu, but Ma Han always expected the enemy to be ahead of the enemy, and ordered the white wolf to ride a group of horsemen and the rest of the people, who were good at fighting in the mountains, to go around behind enemy lines from other places and counterattack the Goguryeo, causing heavy losses to the enemy.

If this is the case, those Hu Qi and the rest of the people, including the monarch of Wei Qiutai, look at the eyes of the horseman, it is like looking at the god of war, except for worship, only worship......

In less than two days, this temporarily united army was tightly pinched together by Ma Hao's personal prestige to form a powerful fighting force.

Just when he was chasing and consolidating here, and he was chasing the enemy first, the next day, when he was Shen, he finally found the traces of Baqi's army...... (To be continued......)
