At the same time as the Great Wei and Xianbei were fighting fiercely, Goguryeo was also actively preparing for war.

After the envoy of the Great Wei Dynasty, Gao Ren, returned to Goguryeo, the king of Dongchuan knew that the Great Wei would not let go of Goguryeo easily this time.

"The King of Wei actually wants to send General Zhao and all the cavalry involved in the plundering to Great Wei, and leave it to Great Wei to dispose of?!"

After Gao Ren reported Cao Cao's conditions to the King of Dongchuan, the King of Dongchuan couldn't help but say loudly.

Then Gao Ren took the gold, silver and jewelry that he brought to Dawei and brought it to the king of Dongchuan intact.

"It seems that Great Wei is going to take this opportunity to start a war with my Goguryeo!"

After the king of Dongchuan saw the gold, silver and jewelry returned by Cao Cao, he no longer had any illusions in his heart.

"Go and call General Zhao to the palace!"

Then the king of Dongchuan said sharply to the guards beside him.

This Zhao Chi was directly caught by Dawei because he was greedy for money and was not good at the end, and now the entire Goguryeo is going to be killed by him!

Now Zhao Chi was staying in the city of Marudu, waiting for the results of Gao Ren's envoy to the Great Wei, and every night he would dream of countless Youzhou Iron Cavalry and Great Wei foot soldiers tearing his army to pieces along with himself.

After Zhao Chi received the order from the guards, he immediately rushed to the palace to meet the king of Dongchuan.

"The last general will meet the king of Dongchuan!"

"General Zhao, do you remember what this king said to you at the beginning?!"

As soon as King Dongchuan saw Zhao Chi, he felt angry, and said directly to Zhao Chi in a cold voice.

"The last will remember...... If Great Wei starts a war against us, the last general will take the whole family to fight together. Lord Dongchuan, don't you ......?"

Zhao Chi was halfway through speaking, and he couldn't say any more.

Unexpectedly, the matter of asking for guilt was not forgiven by Da Wei, and Zhao Chi also understood that his dream was likely to come true.

When the king of Dongchuan saw Zhao Chi looking depressed, he couldn't continue to be angry at Zhao Chi, after all, in addition to being greedy for money, Zhao Chi was definitely a good hand at leading troops to fight.

This Goguryeo is really inseparable from him Zhao Chi now, is it really Zhao Chi who is successful and Zhao Chi who is defeated?

"General Zhao, do you know what conditions Cao Cao, the king of Wei, has made in order to agree to the mutual market between Goguryeo and Great Wei?"

King Dongchuan said to Zhao Chi in a deep voice.

"This ...... I don't know! ”

Zhao Chi was also quite helpless when he heard this, he had already handed over all the gold, silver and jewelry he had looted over the years as compensation for his sins, and brought them to Dawei, which was a huge sum of more than 100,000 taels of silver!

At that time, when Zhao Chi handed over these gold, silver and jewelry to Gao Ren, who was about to send the envoy to Great Wei, his heart was dripping blood, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao, the king of Wei, couldn't look down on his life savings at all.

"Cao Cao, the king of Wei, asked Gao Ren to tell this king that only by sending your General Zhao and the remaining dozens of Goguryeo cavalry to Great Wei for disposal, did he promise not to pursue the looting again, and agreed to open a mutual market with us!"

After King Dongchuan finished speaking, Zhao Chi's back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Seeing that Zhao Chi didn't make a sound, the king of Dongchuan then said to Zhao Chi: "General Zhao, Great Wei is going to fight with me Goguryeo this time!" If you get into trouble, fix it! ”

"The last general obeys the order, and he will never give up!"

Hearing this, Zhao Chi knelt directly in front of King Dongchuan and said loudly.

After really learning about this result, Zhao Chi, who was originally frightened, suddenly felt relieved.

Originally, Goguryeo had always wanted to include Liaodong County, Liaoxi County, Lelang County and Xuansu County into the scope of Goguryeo's rule, and for this reason, since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, it has been accumulating strength and constantly trying.

Originally, the king of Dongchuan thought that the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains were established, and Cao Wei was busy fighting with Sun Quan of Eastern Wu and Liu Bei of Shu Han, and the opportunity for Goguryeo had come.

Unexpectedly, before Goguryeo made a move, Cao Wei's army defeated the Sun-Liu coalition army in Chibi in one fell swoop, and then in just one year, the entire Central Plains was unified!

Seeing that it could not attack Liaodong, Goguryeo immediately stopped attacking the Great Wei and turned the spearhead at Silla and Baekje, so as not to provoke the Great Wei to attack.

The king of Dongchuan cautiously endured to this day, but he did not expect that because of a failed raid, he would advance this war with Great Wei to the present.

"General Zhao, the matter has come to this point, this king will not continue to hold you responsible, even if there is no such plunder, with the strength of Great Wei, sooner or later he will attack my Goguryeo.

Therefore, I Goguryeo can be defeated in this battle, but I must not be driven out by the Great Wei! ”

After Gao Ren, who sent an envoy to the Great Wei, returned to the capital city of Marudu and reported to the king of Dongchuan the current development of the Great Wei, the king of Dongchuan knew that he could not compete with the Great Wei with Goguryeo.

So now the king of Dongchuan's request to Zhao Chi is to stick to the city and never take the initiative to attack.

In this way, when winter comes, Goguryeo will have a chance to recuperate and breathe.

As long as Goguryeo can hold on and make the Great Wei army pay a heavy price for every city it conquers, then there will always be a time when the Great Wei will not be able to accept casualties and food and grass supplies.

When you arrive at Goguryeo, you can negotiate peace with the Great Wei, retain the inheritance of Goguryeo, and leave it for a comeback in the future!

Zhao Chi also understood the meaning of King Dongchuan's words, so he said loudly again: "Lord King Dongchuan, if the Wei army conquers a Goguryeo city, it will definitely pay the price of more than three times the army!" ”

"This king believes in General Zhao's strength, okay, let's go and prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Chi then left the palace and went to the camp to dispatch troops.

Although Zhao Chi was very greedy for money, he rarely deducted military salaries, and the soldiers of Goguryeo admired this veteran very much, which was also the relationship between the king of Dongchuan and Zhao Chi's accumulation of money.

And Zhao Chi also won more victories and fewer defeats in the battles against Silla, Baekje and Buyeo, and had a great prestige in the army.

After Zhao Chi went to Daying to reorganize the army, the king of Dongchuan also ordered his pawn officials to start the autumn harvest in advance, so as not to have time to harvest grain and grass after the Great Wei attacked.

After arranging the autumn harvest, the king of Dongchuan summoned all the civil and military forces of Goguryeo to the palace of Marudu City, and mentioned the war with Great Wei again in the main hall of the palace.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that my Goguryeo has reached a critical point of life and death, every Goguryeo official and military general must fully support this war!

Only by surviving this winter can we have the possibility of making peace with Great Wei, otherwise we will die and the country will be destroyed!

And we will soon be able to clear the wilderness, and fight against the Great Wei in every city! ”

King Dongchuan stood on top of the main hall and said loudly to the group of Goguryeo warriors in the main hall.

"Obey the orders of the king and fight with the Great Wei !! the death"

The civil and military forces in the main hall were also aroused by the king of Dongchuan, and at the same time shouted loudly.
