In the end, after Yuan Qi and Zhuge Liang discussed, it was decided to leave Zhang Long and Deng Zhi behind, responsible for stabilizing the situation in Goguryeo and rectifying various matters within the territory. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoZhang Long became famous in the first war and left an indelible mark in the hearts of the Goguryeo people; Deng Zhi's political ability and strategy are outstanding, and he is a good hand in both governing the government and the army, and letting the two of them join hands to govern Goguryeo will inevitably make Goguryeo burst out of vitality in a short period of time and become a solid backing for the Yuan Qi army.

As for the wishes of the Goguryeo military and civilians, Yuan Qi also made a corresponding decision. First of all, for the ordinary people who spontaneously offered money and food, Yuan Qi strictly ordered the sergeants not to take a stitch or thread from their hands, and those who violated the order were severely punished; secondly, those soldiers who took up arms and voluntarily followed Yuan Qi to the north to conquer Buyeo, Yuan Qi also rewarded and appeased them, dismissed most of them, and let them stay and cooperate with Zhang Long and Deng Zhi to guard the pills, and only selected 5,000 elites to go north with the army.

After the rectification was completed, Yuan Qi refused to delay for a moment and immediately embarked on the journey. It has taken more than ten days to pacify Goguryeo, and Yuan Qi has to pacify Buyeo and defeat the eastern Xianbei within a limited month and a half after that, leaving him with a very tight time.

Buyeo was established longer than Goguryeo, and the territory is even larger, a long time ago, Buyeo people established their own political power, and paid tribute to the Yuan clan, for hundreds of years, the Yuan Empire was respectful, and has been stable and rapid development, becoming a pivotal regime in northern Xinjiang. Until recent decades, because of the endless civil war, the traitor in power, and the weakening of the national strength, the contemporary lord of Fuyu, A Meng'er, took the opportunity to cut off contacts with the Yuan Empire, and no longer regarded himself as a vassal country, but colluded with Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du to occupy a large amount of fertile land in northern Xinjiang, and there was a faint tendency to claim to be a hegemon.

Different from Goguryeo, the Buyeo people advocate force, if they want to conquer Buyeo, it is simply impossible to achieve the final victory just by virtue of miracles like the conquest of Goguryeo, and if they want to make Buyeo surrender, they must rely on force, and when the Buyeo people are hurt and afraid, they will be afraid and obedient.

In this regard, Yuan Qi also made full psychological preparations, and was determined to have a hard-fought duel with Buyeo and strive for a battle. Three days later, Yuan Qi led his army from Marudu Castle to Nanshui at the junction with Buyeo. While galloping on his horse, Yuan Qi pointed to the frozen difficult water and said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming." This river is difficult to water, the upper and lower reaches of the river are relatively narrow, resulting in a turbulent current, only in the middle reaches of the river is relatively open, the river water flows gently so far. ”

Zhuge Liang has been thinking about how to pacify Fuyu as soon as possible, and after hearing Yuan Qi's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Yuan Qi with a happy face: "Lord, the chances of our army are about to fall on this difficult water." Yuan Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted and asked, "What does Kong Ming mean, attacking him halfway?"

Nodding, Zhuge Liang said again: "It is the middle of winter now, and the Buyeo people have lived by the difficult water for generations, and the long-term habit will definitely make the Buyeo people think that the ice surface of the difficult water is extremely strong, and our army can do some tricks and feet on the ice to defeat the main force of Buyeo in a battle." ”

Listening to Zhuge Liang's analysis, Yuan Qi immediately fell into deep thought. After a long time, Yuan Qi suddenly reined in the war horse, and the jade unicorn that sat down suddenly retracted, and the hind hooves were firmly and forcefully inserted into the ground, and a pair of front hooves were raised high, carrying Yuan Qi in the air for a moment before falling heavily on the front hooves, stirring up a piece of dust.

"Pass a certain military order, stop advancing, and choose the most conspicuous and eye-catching place to camp on the edge of the difficult water, so that the people on the other side of the difficult water can clearly see all the movements in our military camp. ”

The soldiers under the command of Yuan Qi felt strange, and the Buyeo Tanma lurking on the opposite side of the difficult water was puzzled. With a puzzled look, the Fuyu spy glanced at the busy Yan Jun again, and then turned around and said, "Divide the two brothers, send this information back, and ask the king to decide." Behind him, two figures quickly turned around and ran towards the depths of Buyeo Kingdom.

A Meng'er, the contemporary ruler of the Buyeo Kingdom, is familiar with the historical books of the Han family, is proficient in strategy, and has always admired force, which is not comparable to the cruel and unkind King Dongchuan. Ah Meng'er sent out scout horses early and scattered around the Nanshui area to spy on the Yan army's every move and prepare for the upcoming big battle. All the movements of the Yan army were accurately transmitted to Ah Meng'er's ears by Tanma.

That night, in the camp by the difficult water, Yuan Qi called Zhuge Liang over, and laughed in a low voice: "Kong Ming, do you know a certain intention?" Zhuge Liang returned a smile to Yuan Qi: "The lord wants to attract the main army of Buyeo over? When the Buyeo army crosses the river, break through the ice and let the Buyeo army fall into the icy river water?" Zhuge Liang is not Jia Yuan, he will not be as excessive as Jia Yuan to protect himself, and Yuan Qi has saved Zhuge Liang. Knowing the double kindness, Zhuge Liang did not have the slightest intention of hiding his heart from Yuan Qi, and he knew everything that Yuan Qi asked.

"That's right!" Yuan Qi smiled mysteriously, "That's what it means." Before we do, though, we have a few more things to do. Zhuge Liang said: "The first thing is to create an illusion to attract the main force of Buyeo to attack, and the second thing is to take advantage of the cover of night to do tricks and feet on the difficult water and ice." ”

Next, neither of them spoke, but sat opposite each other and laughed knowingly. Early the next morning, Wei Yan came to the big tent of the Chinese army in Yuanqi with some annoyance, and said loudly: "My lord! The Goguryeo people have no faith, and when they were patrolling the camp last night, I heard them talking in private, they couldn't stand the cold weather, and wanted to go back to Goguryeo, but because the night was dark, they were afraid that the lord had already rested, so they didn't come to report it." Unexpectedly, early this morning, half of the Goguryeo people fled without permission, and when they found out, they could no longer be found. ”

After Yuan Qi heard the news, he just sighed softly, and then said to Wei Yan generously: "Wen Chang, the Goguryeo people have not been attached for a long time, and it is normal for people to be moved and flee without permission. The matter is over, and there is no need to hold those who flee accountable. Wei Yan was stunned: "Lord! If this matter is stopped, everyone in the army will know that the lord's reward and punishment are unknown, and there will inevitably be more deserters!" If this goes on for a long time, ......

Before Wei Yan's words were finished, Yuan Qi cut off his words. "I said so, this matter is over! Don't you understand?" Wei Yansheng blushed, completely unable to understand what happened to Yuan Qi, who had meritorious service and punishment in the past, but he didn't dare to say anything more, endured the depression in his heart, and withdrew from Yuan Qi's big tent.

The news of the Goguryeo people's defection without permission was also passed to the king of Buyeo, Ah Meng'er, in the shortest possible time. Ah Meng'er looked at the news sent by Tanma in front of him, sneered and said to himself: "What a little overlord!

For three days, the Yuan Qi army was stationed at the edge of the difficult water, neither retreating nor going deep into the Buyeo country. During these three days, Wei Yan would go to Yuan Qi's big tent every morning to report to Yuan Qi about the defection of soldiers in the army. At the beginning, it was only Goguryeo soldiers who defected, and later even some Youzhou soldiers began to defect because they couldn't stand the cold. In three days, 5,000 Goguryeo ran away, not to mention, thousands of people fled from the Yan army.

Regarding the defection of the sergeants, Wei Yan argued with reason, and urged Yuan Qi to severely punish the soldiers of the same team who defected as sergeants, so as to set an example. But Yuan Qi rejected Wei Yan on the grounds that the recruits had just entered the battlefield and were not adapted to the cold of the climate. Every time, Wei Yan would be reprimanded by Yuan Qi roughly, and Yuan Qi's scolding could be heard clearly even if he was dozens of steps away.

Finally, in the early morning of the fourth day, when Wei Yan reported to Yuan Qi that hundreds of Yan soldiers had defected, he was again reprimanded by Yuan Qi and fined 20 military sticks.
