The Sui army called, and the people in the Goguryeo court were panicked, and now as soon as the news came out, the people in the court, including the king of Pingyuan, were extremely shocked.

Why did this happen all of a sudden, how long had these three princes been captive, and they actually became kings.

Of course, everyone knows when they think about it, this is absolutely impossible for the third prince Gao Jianwu to make his own decisions, but deliberately released the news that disturbed the hearts of the Goguryeo army under the instruction of the Sui army.

The king of the plains immediately made a decision, and a few minutes after learning the news, he shouted at his subordinates: "Zhao Ling, the third prince Gao Jianwu does not want to forge ahead, flatters foreign people and seeks glory, and he is really a man without a father and a king, and from today he will revoke all his titles and fortunes, and be demoted to a concubine." ”

"Hmph, if you want to fight for power so blatantly, I really can't be a stupid person?"

"The border army has withdrawn to two percent, and other cities have gathered troops, since Lelang City has been lost, they will gather troops to defend the national capital, send a vanguard army to attack Nanpu City, and cut off the supply route of the Sui army, this king will not believe it, the Sui army can still be supplied under such a long journey, as long as the supply is cut off, the people who stay here are all turtles in the urn."

The Plains King made the quickest choice he could make now, and what he thought was the most correct choice.

Of course, it was not only the people in the Goguryeo court who were shocked today, but also His Royal Highness the King of Jin who had just returned to Youzhou City.

The front-line war has the Yin Shishi Division as the town, and under the inspiring news of victory, the internal contradictions of the generals themselves are now very little mentioned, and the morale is high, so Yang Guang first returned to Youzhou City, which is the command post of the front, to coordinate the overall situation.

As soon as Yang Guang returned to Youzhou, he received news from Goguryeo.

Receiving this news, Yang Guang was also shocked, because the news that the third prince of Goguryeo was now the king was not instructed by him, but the front line made an assertion, and he only knew the news until now.

Yang Guang looked at Yuan Tiantian in surprise: "Is this Li Jing's idea?" ”

Yuan Tiantian took out Li Jing's secret letter and said: "His Royal Highness also has Li Jing's letter, this matter is not his idea, and he just got the news and sent it back." ”

"Who did that? It can't really be the third prince of Goguryeo. ”

Yuan Tiantian then took out the secret letter from Laihu'er and said, "Your Highness, do you want to take a look at the letter from Laihu'er, this letter has been opened, and Li Jing has read it." ”

When Yang Guang was not in Youzhou City, he instructed Yuan Tiantian to read his secret letter, so Yuan Tiantian knew that the content of their secret letter was earlier than himself, and Li Jing said in his secret letter that he had read the letter from Hu'er, because Li Jing knew that Yang Guang had not given an order to let the third prince of Goguryeo be king, so Li Jing also felt very strange, so he had to read the various news that came back first.

Yang Guang took the secret letter from Laihu'er at this time and opened it.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, you often let me come to Hu'er to read more military books, but I keep your orders firmly in mind, I don't dare to forget at all, a small reading in three days, a big reading in five days, not to mention reading a lot of books, I have to read a lot, I listened to your analysis of Tuyuhun before, I think it makes sense, including the prince who controlled Tuyuhun, His Royal Highness the King of Shu actually did not make good use of him, but used it as a bargaining chip to kill the enemy's morale, stupid, stupid."

Seeing this, Yang Guang roughly knew what was going on, but looked down patiently.

"When I was in Nanpu City, I caught the third prince of Goguryeo who escaped, this doll was very cowardly, and I almost peed my pants when I was caught that day, a spineless thing, but I thought about it that night, hey~ Isn't this the same?"

"Our current situation is basically the same as the situation encountered by the King of Shu at the beginning, I immediately reacted, I must not make the same mistake as the King of Shu, I can't be scolded by His Royal Highness for being a stupid person at that time, so I immediately made a decision, tried to overcome public opinion, and pushed this useless third prince of Goguryeo to the throne, held high the royal flag, and turned Goguryeo from the inside."

"Your Highness, you don't need to reward too much, I have never been a greedy person, and I can do things for Your Highness, this is what you should do."

Yang Guang shook his head with a smile: "This is here to protect the child." ”

Yuan Tiantian said with certainty: "Your Highness, there is a certain truth in what you said to protect your son. ”

"Reason? You said this simply because I was afraid that I would blame him. ”

Yuan Tiantian knew that his careful thoughts couldn't hide from Yang Guang's eyes, but Yang Guang didn't seem to blame him.

On the contrary, he said: "The situation in Goguryeo at this time and the situation in Tuyuhun at the beginning can only be said to be slightly similar, but they are not exactly the same. ”

"First of all, the crown prince of Tuyuhun was voted for by himself, and he has a certain amount of real power, and he has a certain degree of prestige and support in the country, and the organization established under his banner can take over the rule of Tuyuhun in an efficient and orderly manner after the war, and because he is his own enemy, he can only passively become a vassal of the Great Sui in the following days, and this result is excellent no matter what."

"The third prince of Goguryeo, as far as I know, is an incompetent child, except for a few close ministers, he has no strength to belong to him, even if he really supports him to the throne, he has no ability to control the situation in Goguryeo, but it may exacerbate the chaos in Goguryeo, and the time is not right, such a person can only support the upper position after the war, and now support the upper position, but it will make Goguryeo's internal and external more unified."

Yuan Tiantian asked: "Your Highness, does it take a punishment to protect your own opinion?" ”

"This is really impulsive, but fortunately, this thing is harmless, and the effect of simply disgusting the King of Goguryeo is still there, it's just that."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Guangyou walked back: "No, you can't forget it, otherwise you really let him do nothing." ”

Yuan Tiantian nodded: "Your Highness, the concubine said something that should not be said, the main mistake of coming to protect the child is to overstep, and you can't help but punish, otherwise others will think that Your Highness is merciful, but it is a connivance to them, and the military orders abroad will not be granted, but if you are so arrogant, the punishment must be punished." ”

"How do you say you should be punished?"

Yuan Tiantian was in trouble for a while: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this concubine really can't think of any good way for the time being?" ”

"Why?"

"Come to Hu'er to be loyal, your loyalty to Your Highness is seen by everyone, it has always been Your Highness that you said that he would never blink an eye when he charged, even if it was a bloody road in the chaos of the army, he would definitely go, if you punished him heavily, it was inevitable that he would be resentful, after all, he could only be regarded as doing bad things with good intentions, or that he did not work with a strategy, but this is also something you knew before, and you can't complain about him."

Yuan Tiantian then said: "But if he is not punished, his behavior of transgressing without permission is serious, and it will be very big for the hidden danger in the future, and it will not be conducive to your prestige, Your Highness, and the concubines will be dull, so I can't think of any good way at this time." ”

Yang Guang smiled bitterly: "This Lai'er will really give me a problem." ”

Stretching out his hand to tap on the table, Yang Guang hesitated for a while, and thought of several ways in a row, but he didn't seem to be very satisfied, and shook his head.

At this time, he remembered Li Jing's secret letter, so he also opened it and looked at it.

Li Jing first clarified his relationship with this matter in the letter, and repeatedly emphasized that the main reason was not that he was afraid of things, but that he felt that this decision was too stupid.

Later, he said in the letter that the matter had become such a situation, and Yang Guang could punish Lai'er to protect the child, and said that supporting the third prince of Goguryeo could not be said to be useless, at least it had a legitimate name, and reminded Yang Guang that he could take this opportunity to send someone to Silla Baekje to persuade him to fight Goguryeo with him.

Although the strength of the two countries is not strong, they can survive for so many years, and they are not weak chickens, and now that they have the same goal, the probability that the two countries will agree to attack Goguryeo together is very high.

In the case that the army of the Great Sui has already shown its superiority, the icing on the cake of the two countries is a good choice.

Yang Guang saw this proposal, and immediately sent someone to tell Li Jing that he had full authority to make the decision on this matter, and just do it.

In the end, Li Jing still gave Yang Guang an idea, so that Yang Guang would not have to punish too much for this matter.

Also as Yang Guang's vassal, Li Jing is such a smart person, he naturally knows that helping to intercede with Hu'er at this time is equivalent to helping himself in the future, even if he is a cautious person, who can guarantee that he will not make a little mistake in his life?

Yang Guang can understand their thoughts, and at the same time, he is more sure that the matter of coming to protect children cannot be easily let go.

It is not a good thing to change generals in battle, and it is also reassuring for Yang Guang to put a person like Hu'er by his side, after all, he is a person who can be trusted.

Yang Guang thought about it again and said to Yuan Tiantian: "Tiantian, pass the order, come to Hu'er to make his own opinions, the eyes are supreme, this king is deeply furious, revoke his rank of general of the pioneer battalion of the Great Sui Navy, and demote him to the head of the gang." ”

"Your Highness, is the full-time revocation too heavy?"

"It's not over, demoted to the head of the gang army, playing the twenty big boards, this king requires him to cook for the army every day with due diligence and perform the duties of the gang leader, but because of the vacancy of the general of the pioneer battalion of the Great Sui Navy, the authority is still concurrently held by him, giving him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions."

Yuan Tiantian thought about it after hearing it and said: "It is also excellent for His Highness to deal with it like this, it was the credit of Lai Hu'er to lead the troops to the expedition this time, but now such a fuss is equivalent to canceling all the credits of his leading troops this time, but he is not punished." ”

Yang Guang sighed helplessly: "Who let him always give me problems, but there is no reward for such a big credit, presumably he must be unhappy in his heart, and according to the tone of his letter, he still thinks that he has done this extremely beautifully, hey, in this way, what kind of country is he letting the third prince of Goguryeo set up now?" ”

"Little Korea."

Yang Guang sneered: "That's right, then it's good to crown him as the former general of this small Han Min, if he really gets this Xiao Han Republic up, this king can also reward him greatly." ”

Yang Guang's order soon reached the front line, and the triumphant Lai Hu'er received the order, and he was stupid all of a sudden, and the executor did not spare his hand, and when Lai'er pressed onto the stage and began to execute.

"Come to the general, when I wait for the fight, I will ask the general to shout: "His Royal Highness King Xie Jin rewards." ””

The heavy board fell, and the first few blows of the steel and iron bones of Laihu'er could withstand it, and the back shouted in pain.

"Reward from His Royal Highness King Xie Jin."

"Reward from His Royal Highness King Xie Jin."

After the twenty boards were beaten, even Laihu'er could not stand on his own, and the executor removed all the things in his tent and supervised him to live in the place where the gang leader lived.

Everyone went to persuade one after another, and it was obvious that Laihu'er was quite popular with the people because of his magnanimity in the army.

Laihu'er was arranged to the place where the gang leader lived, and everyone asked him to lie on his stomach, and he gritted his teeth in pain and said to the executioner: "Oh, you really don't spare your hands, I can't ride a horse for a month." ”

"Come to the general, this is His Highness's order, if you don't know it, I'm afraid you won't be able to remember."

Lai Hu'er said with grievances: "I came here for the sake of His Highness, how can His Highness beat and punish him, and let me be the leader of the gang, I don't accept it." ”

"Come to the general, don't be dissatisfied, Your Highness has already punished you lightly, although you have been deprived of your position in name, but you have made meritorious contributions, and the real power is still there, you really don't think about this matter."

"Why don't you think about it, it's not what His Royal Highness King Jin himself said when he analyzed the Tuyuhun battlefield for us before."

The executioner said: "Come general, Your Highness can do this thing, you can't make an assertion, let me tell you, if this matter is reported to Your Majesty by someone with a heart, just say that you have set up a prince of Goguryeo as the king in front of the battle, what does Your Majesty think?" This is something that can only be done by His Majesty. ”

Laihu'er suddenly reacted, and the big eyes of the copper bell widened and said, "Then what should I do?" I didn't mean that when I was old. ”

"Come to the general, don't panic, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has punished you first, and the report to the court will naturally give you intercession, with a leader like His Royal Highness the King of Jin, you can steal the fun, and if someone else has already taken himself out of this matter, he left all the pot to you, and he can still punish you? punished you, and all the next possible reproaches in the court were all borne by His Royal Highness King Jin alone. ”

Lai Hu'er slapped himself: "Oh, I've really caused a big trouble for His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

"General, the matter has come to this, don't blame yourself first, fight well on the front line, win everything is easy to say, in case you lose, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has a lot of enemies in the court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely take this opportunity to counterattack, which is not good for His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and now that the three princes of Goguryeo have been established, let's go all the way to the black."

Lai Hu'er's eyes suddenly became firm: "Okay, I will definitely atone for my crimes, I can't ride a horse now, but I can still command, all the deployments remain the same, cut off the supply of southern Goguryeo to its national capital, and revolt in the name of the three princes of Goguryeo." ”

"Order, Goryeo is dead, and Shinhan should be established."
