Zhuge Liang's prediction was not wrong, the contemporary ruler of Goguryeo, King Dongchuan, had already sent a horse to spy on the movements of the Yuan Qi army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Yuan Qi and Zhuge Liang teamed up to make the ice city, naturally by these Tan Ma in the eyes, out of the Goguryeo people's unique reverence for the gods, these Tan Ma was shocked in their hearts, thinking that there were really gods in the secret to help Yuan Qi.

When the news was transmitted back to Goguryeo, the king of Dongchuan was also shocked in his heart, but after all, the king of Dongchuan was the king of a country, and his insight was not comparable to that of several low-level tanma, although he was shocked, he did not mess up, and ordered the tanma to continue to investigate the movements of the Yuan Qi army.

However, what happened in the next few days made Dongchuan Wang Milai more and more unable to sit still. As if the Yuan Qi army was really blessed by the gods, it would stop advancing and camp every evening to rest, and the soldiers in the camp would rest early after dinner, without any other action at all. However, every next morning, there will always be an ice city that magically appears on the periphery of the Yuanqi military camp, encompassing the entire military camp, and the shape of the ice city gate is becoming more and more hideous, as if it can swallow the entire Goguryeo at any time.

One city per day for five consecutive days. The miracles that were created seemed to have turned into real miracles, and even many of Yuan Qi's subordinates thought that there were gods secretly helping them, and their morale was getting higher and higher. On the other hand, Goguryeo, although the king of Dongchuan ordered the news to be blocked, the miracles still went away like wings, which made the domestic army panic all day, thinking that the Yuanqi army was sent by the gods to punish Goguryeo's heavenly soldiers and generals.

Five days later, Yuan Qi's headquarters came to Liaodong, which bordered Goguryeo, and when he arrived in Liaodong, Yuan Qi could use troops against Goguryeo at any time. At that time, he was the Taishou of Liaodong, and he was Deng Zhi, a new savage from Yiyang, who was promoted by Yuan Qi during his tenure in Wancheng. At the beginning, Deng Zhi followed Yuan Qi to return to Youzhou, and soon after, he was appointed by Yuan Qi as the Taishou of Liaodong. It is not only a grain producing area in the rear, but also the first line of defense in naval warfare. In the following two years, Deng Zhi fully demonstrated his political talents, managed Liaodong in an orderly manner, and the people in the county lived and worked in peace and contentment, showing a thriving scene.

When Yuan got up and went outside Liaodong City, Deng Zhi had already led the crowd out to greet him. As Deng Zhi entered the county guard's mansion, Yuan Qi asked Deng Zhi about his views on the Goguryeo people and his countermeasures. Deng Zhi explained the situation of the Goguryeo people to Yuan Qi one by one, which was roughly similar to what Zhuge Liang said. But it needs to be more specific and detailed. In the end, Deng Zhi summed up his remarks: "My lord. Goguryeo is located in a remote area, calm today, and revolt tomorrow, and it is not easy for our army to go on an expedition. Therefore, Zhi thought that the lord should attack his heart first, and attack and plot for his bottom, and subdue his heart in a battle, shatter his courage, and make him dare not fight again. ”

After Deng Zhi finished speaking, Zhuge Liang smiled and applauded: "I can't imagine that Bo Miao is not only good at government affairs, but also good at tactics." Yuan Qi also smiled and said: "Bo Miao's talent, succumbing to Liaodong, is indeed a bit condescending, I mean, after laying down Goguryeo and Buyeo, the two countries will be changed to one county, at that time, Bo Miao will go to the new county to serve as Taishou." Yuan Qi's words moved Deng Zhi's heart very much, Buyeo and Goguryeo are two kingdoms bordering Liaodong, Deng Zhi naturally knows that each of the territories of these two kingdoms is not under Liaodong, and they will be merged into one county in the future, which is simply a country within a country, not a person whom Yuan Qi trusts very much, and will never be appointed by Yuan Qi as the Taishou of the new county.

Deng Zhi stood up, took two steps back, bowed respectfully to Yuan Qi, and said: "Deng Zhi is originally a cloth cloth, his reputation is not obvious in the world, the lord is not humble to Zhi, he brought Zhi to Youzhou, and entrusted him with the important responsibility, Zhi is grateful in his heart, and he is willing to repay the great kindness of the lord." ”

Zhuge Liang saw Deng Zhi's excitement and didn't want Deng Zhi to bear too heavy psychological pressure, so he jokingly said: "Bo Miao, the lord hasn't won Goguryeo and Buyeo yet, he just gave you a picture cake, look at you, you're still serious." ”

Zhuge Liang's words made Yuan Qi and Deng Zhi laugh at the same time, and in the laughter, Yuan Qi glanced at Zhuge Liang as if he was nothing, and he became more and more satisfied with Zhuge Liang in his heart. At the beginning, Yuan put Zhuge Liang in the position of the governor of the capital, Sima, after more than a year of training and accumulation, Zhuge Liang's progress is obvious, whether it is dealing with political affairs, or governing the military, or even coordinating the relationship between colleagues, he is very easy to handle. Yuan Qi believed that after Zhuge Liang personally experienced the campaign of crusading against Goguryeo, Buyeo, and resisting Xianbei, his talent in commanding the battle would be stimulated to the greatest extent, and then he would make a qualitative leap.

On the second day after arriving in Liaodong, Yuan Qi led his subordinates and combined with the Liaodong soldiers led by Deng Zhi, totaling 15,000 people, to launch a fierce attack on Goguryeo.

Within one day, the Yuan Qi army conquered the three cities, and the soldiers of its department were highly motivated because of the miracles, and they were extremely brave in battle, and they were not afraid of death, which was no different from the legendary heavenly soldiers and generals. After breaking the city, Yuan Qi adopted Deng Zhi's strategy of attacking the heart, and pacified the alien people in the city, telling them that he was the governor of Youhe and the hussar general. At the same time, Yuan Qi did not hesitate to delay some of the time to march and personally inspected the grain fields and farming tools in the city, pointing out that it was impossible for the Goguryeo people's backward farming methods and the cultivated tools that had been eliminated by the times to make the land harvest a bumper harvest, and asked the soldiers to take advanced farming tools to demonstrate to the Goguryeo people, so that they could know how to reclaim the land most efficiently.

Yuanqi's kindness and advanced farming tools and cultivation methods made a large number of Goguryeo people go out of their homes and gather around them to ask questions, and fear gradually disappeared from their faces, replaced by a desire for a good harvest. No matter where the people are, they all hope that their land can harvest more food, for these most ordinary working people, who can bring them a good harvest, who can let their family live a life of food and clothing, who is the hero in their minds.

With the efforts of Yuan Qi, the hatred of the Goguryeo people towards the Yan army was eliminated. Of the three cities that had been occupied, only a hundred soldiers were left in each of the Yuanqi cities, and their task was not to defend the cities, but to impart more agricultural knowledge to the ordinary Goguryeo people.

The next day, Yuan Qi continued to lead the army forward, and once again staged a great victory in conquering the three cities in one day. However, the battle on this day was different from yesterday, and the resistance of Goguryeo was no longer so strong, and there was even a city whose people killed the brutal and unkind generals and spontaneously surrendered to Kaesong. For no other reason, yesterday's righteous deeds of Yuan Qi have been recognized by the people of Goguryeo, who no longer think that Yuan Qi is an invader who has come to plunder their wealth, but that Yuan Qi is the guide who will guide them and will lead them to a good life of abundance and food.

Sometimes, the hearts of the people at the bottom are so simple, even if you are the king, if you can't give me a stable life, I won't recognize your status as a king; even if you are a foreigner, if you can make my life develop in a good direction, then I will open my heart to you and think that you are my friend.

On the third day, Yuan Qi still maintained the momentum of the three cities of Lianke, on this day, the people of two cities, under the leadership of their defending generals, took the initiative to open the city gates, served wine and food, and welcomed the Yuan Qi army into the city.

Marudu, inside the palace, King Dongchuan frowned and looked at the battle report in front of him, his face was both shocked and angry. He didn't understand what kind of magic Yuan Qi had cast on his subordinates, and even made them surrender to Yuan Qi on their own initiative. However, the king of Dongchuan knew in his heart that in two days at most, the army of Yuan Qi would be killed outside the city of Marudu, and at that time, in front of him, the king of Goguryeo, there would be only one way to die except surrender.

Unwillingness exists in everyone's heart, especially a high-ranking and powerful person like King Dongchuan, the unwillingness in his heart is even stronger, he must not tolerate the destruction of his comfortable life and the wanton trampling of his royal power! So, King Dongchuan made a crazy decision: "Come here, send an order for the troops of all cities in the south of Marudu to give up resistance, throw away those untouchables, and immediately gather in Marudu, and this king will fight to the death with the Yan army in Marudu!"

King Dongchuan's idea is crazy, in the south of the pill capital, there are still seven cities that have not been occupied by the Yuan Qi army, in each city, there are 1,000 to 3,000 military horses, plus more than 20,000 garrisons in the city of the pill, the king of Dongchuan is ready to gather 40,000 troops, and the Yan army of the Yuan Qi department, a head-on duel that breaks the cauldron and sinks the boat! He doesn't believe that the 40,000 army he has gathered, with the strength of the pill capital city, can't defeat the 15,000 people of the Yuan Qi?

So, under the order of the king of Dongchuan, the military horses of the seven southern cities were ordered to mobilize, and they had to leave their parents, wives and children, and in a mournful cry, they took their weapons and stepped out of the city of their hometown, and assembled towards the city of Marudu.
