After learning that King Yan had sent Murong De to the city of Marudu, King Gao Zhao of Goguryeo asked his courtiers to settle Murong De, and sent his henchmen to investigate Murong De's intention to come to Marudu.

Soon, the henchmen sent by Gao Zhao made it clear about Murong De's intention to come to the pill capital to investigate, and immediately returned to the palace, preparing to inform Gao Zhao of the results of the investigation.

Seeing that his henchmen had returned, Gao Zhao hurriedly asked, "How is the investigation, what is the meaning of Murong De's coming to the pill capital?" ”

"Your Majesty, Murong De came to Marudu on the behest of King Yan and wanted to form an alliance with my Great Goguryeo, so as to jointly fight against the threat of the Jin army." Gao Zhao's henchman said truthfully.

When Gao Zhao heard this, he nodded slightly, and said: "It turns out that Murong Jun wants to form an alliance with my Great Goguryeo, hmph, it's really wishful thinking, I think when he attacked the pill capital, how could he have thought that there would be today, and now, Yan Guo is facing the threat of the Jin army, so he wants me Goguryeo to help, isn't this a fool to be the king?" ”

Obviously, as a former enemy, Gao Zhao, the king of Goguryeo, did not intend to form an alliance with Yan, after all, watching Yan Guo being taught a lesson, his heart was very happy, and he was happy to see Goguryeo being taught a lesson.

"Your Majesty, when Weichen just went to the post house, he found that Murong De was not no longer in the post house, but led a team of men and horses out of the city, and these situations were all learned from the mouths of Yan Guo's entourage." The confidant clenched his fists and said.

When Gao Zhao heard this, he was shocked again, and hurriedly asked, "Murong De left Pill Capital City, where did he go?" ”

"Back to the king, he took a few retinues to General Yao Xiang's camp, and entered Yao Xiang's Chinese army tent, as for what they said in the big tent. Wechen doesn't know. Gao Zhao's henchman said truthfully.

Gao Zhao touched his head, thought carefully for a moment, and wondered: "Murong De went to meet Yao Xiang secretly, is there any conspiracy?" ”

Obviously, Yao Xiang had just turned his back on Yan and taken refuge in Goguryeo. Gao Zhao didn't trust him very much, and Murong De went to meet Yao Xiang at this time, and in Yao Xiang's Chinese army tent, he talked secretly with Yao Xiang for so long, what they discussed between them, Gao Zhao didn't know at all, as the king of a country, Gao Zhao was naturally very nervous.

"Your Majesty, Yao Xiang has just arrived in Marudu. King Yan sent Murong De to ask for a meeting, they would have been discussed a long time ago, if so, the king must be vigilant! The henchman said worriedly.

Gao Zhao frowned, looked at the junior colonel behind him, and said loudly: "You immediately go to the army to give an order, and let the generals of all armies pay close attention to the movements of Yao Xiang's army, once Yao Xiang's army has any changes." Immediately launch an attack, and Yao Xiang must not be allowed to threaten the safety of Marudu. ”

"Yes. The king. When the little colonel heard the order, he immediately left the main hall and went to the army outside the city to give the order.

After the small school left, Gao Zhao, the king of Goguryeo, paced in the main hall, and now he is. It was very urgent to know what Yao Xiang and Murong De were talking about, whether they were carrying out an earth-shattering conspiracy, and whether they would threaten Goguryeo's rule.

Subsequently, Gao Zhao, who was uneasy. Immediately summoned his courtiers and told his henchmen about the matter, so that the courtiers could analyze with him whether Yao Xiang and Murong De had arrived in Marudu City one after another, whether there was an inevitable connection, and whether there was an attempt to plot the Goguryeo Kingdom.

The courtiers under Gao Zhao's command naturally had different views on this matter, and they couldn't come up with a unified opinion at all, but all the courtiers agreed that as long as they were vigilant and monitored Yao Xiang and Murong De all the time, they could respond to all changes with no change, and completely strangled Yao Xiang and Murong De's possible conspiracy in the cradle.

This method was approved by the Goguryeo king Gao Zhao, who immediately ordered Yao Xiang and Murong De to keep a close watch on their every move in the capital in order to find out what they were doing.

In this way, under Gao Zhao's close surveillance, time passed overnight.

Early in the morning of the second day, Gao Zhao, the king of Goguryeo, summoned Murong De in the palace, and in order to show the importance of the envoys of the Yan Kingdom, Gao Zhao asked all his henchmen and courtiers to be present, and arranged double the guards around the main hall to deter Murong De and show the majesty of the Great Goguryeo Palace.

"Your Majesty, Murong De, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, is already waiting outside the main hall, and General Yao Xiang has also come." A small colonel rushed into the main hall and said truthfully.

When Gao Zhao heard this, he was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Yao Xiang would actually come with Murong De, what was the connection, he didn't know, but he still decided to see it, so he said loudly: "Hurry up, please." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." When the junior colonel heard the order, he immediately left and went to summon Murong De and Yao Xiang.

It didn't take long for Murong De to enter the palace hall, and Yao Xiang followed behind to enter the palace together.

Seeing Yao Xiang follow Murong De into the main hall, Gao Zhao's heart was very unhappy, in his opinion, Yao Xiang had already belonged to the Great Goguryeo, how could he get so close to the envoy of the Yan Kingdom.

"Murong De, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, visited the king of Goguryeo." Murong De clasped his fists and saluted Gao Zhao.

Gao Zhao raised his head and took a closer look, the Murong De in front of him was just a teenage doll, his face was full of childishness, and he didn't have the frame that the envoy of the Yan Kingdom should have, so he had a sense of contempt in his heart.

However, although Murong De was still young, he was not afraid at all in the face of the King of Goguryeo and the many guards in the main hall, as if he was standing in his own home, which made the Goguryeo ministers beside him greatly admired.

Gao Zhao looked at Murong De carefully for a moment, and asked, "The envoy of the Yan Kingdom came to the pill capital, I don't know what is important?" After speaking, he waited for Murong De's answer.

Murong De smiled and said, "My Great Yan Kingdom and Goguryeo are a friendly federation, and now, I came to Marudu City on the order of King Yan, and I came here specifically for the future of Goguryeo. ”

Obviously, Murong De did not intend to say his intentions directly, after all, if he said his intentions directly, he would have the intention of begging Goguryeo, which would greatly reduce the momentum of the Great Yan Kingdom, thus making Goguryeo look down on him.

When Gao Zhao, the king of Goguryeo, heard this, he laughed twice, and said, "The envoy of the Yan Kingdom is really ashamed!" Now, your Great Yan Kingdom is facing a two-way attack by the Jin army, and the national fortune is already worried, why, at this time, your Yan King is still in the mood to care about the safety of my Goguryeo? ”

Obviously, Gao Zhao is not a fool, and he can immediately hear that what Murong De said is a lie to save face, at this time, Yan Guo will only consider his own interests, how can he still care about the future of Goguryeo.

Murong De was not angry, clenched his fists and continued: "My Great Yan Kingdom and Goguryeo are dependent on each other, if something happens to Goguryeo, my Great Yan Kingdom will lose the eastern barrier, so even if my Great Yan Kingdom faces many difficulties, I will consider the safety of Goguryeo." ”

When a Goguryeo minister heard this, he said loudly: "You Yan King will also care about the safety of my Goguryeo?" When the main force of your Yan army attacked Marudu City, you didn't show any mercy to your subordinates! He almost destroyed my Goguryeo. After speaking, he glared at Murong De angrily.

Obviously, the ministers of Goguryeo have always been haunted by the capture of the capital city by the Yan army in the past, and have always hated the Yan state.

Murong De said: "That was more than ten years ago, and now, Dayan and Goguryeo are already friends, so why bring up the old things again?" ”

Gao Zhao naturally didn't want to mention the troubles of the capital being breached by the Yan army, so he immediately asked: "Your envoy said that the king of Yan is worried about the safety of my Great Goguryeo, but I don't know what danger my Great Goguryeo is in trouble!" ”

Obviously, Gao Zhao felt that it was Yan Guo who was in danger at the moment, not his Goguryeo.

Murong De looked at Gao Zhao and said, "Does the King of Goguryeo know that now, the soldiers and horses under Wang Wu have entered Liaodong?" ”

Gao Zhao said with a smile: "This king naturally knows, and this king has also heard that the soldiers and horses of your Yan Kingdom are simply unable to resist the attack of Wang Wu's army, and have lost several cities in Liaodong. After speaking, there was contempt in his eyes.

Murong De nodded, and said: "That's right, my Great Yan Kingdom has insufficient soldiers and horses, and it is true that it failed to block the attack of Wang Wu's army, and lost several cities, but if Wang Wu's army occupies the entire Liaodong, the next thing to attack is Goguryeo, the so-called death of the lips is cold, and Goguryeo's situation is the same as that of my Great Yan Kingdom, and they are all facing the threat of the Jin army, so we should unite to deal with the threat of the Jin army." ”

"Yes! The king, the northern king of the Jin Kingdom has great ambitions, and after taking Liaodong, he will definitely launch an attack on Goguryeo, which is certain in the end. At this moment, Yao Xiang also spoke loudly and persuaded the king of Goguryeo to form an alliance with Yan.

When Gao Zhao heard this, he fell into deep thought, he was naturally very afraid that Wang Wu's army would attack Goguryeo, but he was a little reluctant to form an alliance with Yan State, after all, Goguryeo and Yan State used to have a hostile relationship, and the hatred between each other lasted for more than 50 years, forming an alliance with his former enemies, and leading the army to fight side by side with them, Gao Zhao would always feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the Jin army is the common enemy of my Goguryeo and Yan kingdoms, and we should unite to resist the attack of the Jin army." Seeing that Gao Zhao was hesitating, Yao Xiang persuaded loudly again.

Under the strong persuasion of Murong De and Yao Xiang, Gao Zhao had the idea of forming an alliance with Yan State in his heart, but Gao Zhao naturally would not take his position lightly for this kind of military event that required troops, so he gave his henchmen and courtiers a look.

The minister understood, and immediately clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the major affairs of the military state are related to the safety of a country, and the matter of forming an alliance with the Yan State to jointly fight against the Jin army still needs to be considered in the long run. ”

Gao Zhao nodded, looked at Murong De, and said: "Military affairs are not child's play, this matter still needs to be carefully considered by this king, your envoy will go back to the post house to rest first, and wait for the king's good news!" (To be continued......)
