royal palace.
Virtue Pavilion.
Wu Nian was wearing a black python robe and sitting on the throne. Eqin and Eniang followed and served.
Wu Nian frowned and looked down at the pile of papers on the imperial desk. Eqin and Eniang were cautious, fearing to offend Wu Nian.
But this solemn atmosphere made the two sisters breathless. E Qin thought for a moment, then gently picked up the already cool tea on the bright yellow imperial desk. She moved lightly to the entrance of the palace and said to the guard on the left: "Go and make hot tea."
"Yes." None of the guards present dared to look at Eqin to avoid being rude. He bowed his head in response, reached out to take the tea cup, turned around and left.
After a while, Eqin came in with hot tea and put it on the imperial desk.
Although she behaved gently, she still alarmed Wu Nian.
"Hey." Wu young man shook his head lightly and sighed.
"General, forgive me." Eqin and Eniang's hearts trembled, and Eqin quickly apologized.
"No. This has nothing to do with you." Wu Nian waved his hand, then picked up the tea cup on the imperial desk, first picked up the lid and blew a few breaths, took three sips and then put it down.
Immediately, he stood up, walked out of the palace gate, stood on the corridor and looked up at the sky.
There were good points and bad points in his attack on the Goguryeo Palace. Goguryeo was like a beast stabbed in the heart.
Li Jinzhu took the court to Seoul in the south, trying to defend half of the country.
At present, under the maintenance of Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng, the situation is stable.
The northern half of the country is not good.
People kept raising armies, some in a small way, but some with great force. Places like Pyongyang, Uiju, and Ganggye are located in plains and are relatively easy to control.
But the mountainous prefectures and counties in the east are difficult to control. If we send troops to quell the rebellion, we may get into trouble.
A spark.
Half of the entire northern country is like being roasted on a stove.
Hot to the touch.
"So. I won't let Zhao Yanting advance troops quickly. If the attack fails, and the rear is on fire, we will be in a dilemma."
Wu Nian exhaled and shook his head with a wry smile.
Immediately, Wu Nian's eyes flashed with severity, and he had to find a way to kill the rebels. Kill them when they should be killed, and exile them when they should be exiled.
Never be merciful.
"Da da da." Rapid footsteps sounded. Wu Nian turned around and saw Lu Sheng walking quickly.
"What happened?" Wu Nian saw his heavy face, his heart sank, and he asked in a solemn voice.
"General. There is good news, and there is bad news." Lu Sheng shook his head with a wry smile. He did not give in and said straight to the point: "There is news from General Fu Han's Mansion. The Fuso Navy that caused trouble in Guangchuan Mansion and Nanhai Mansion has withdrawn its troops. "
"But the Fuso Navy has now begun to harass the prefectures and counties along the coast of Goguryeo. It has dealt a huge blow to us."
Wu Nian gave a bitter smile. What kind of good news or bad news is this? This is clearly the same news. This guy Lu Sheng.
"It's good news. After all, Liaodong is our fundamental place. Liu Zhixing was attacked by Fusang, Meng Yuan, and Chu, and he was already devastated."
"Although I surrendered more than 10,000 Fuso soldiers and sent them as cannon fodder, it was only a drop in the bucket. Now the Fuso Navy has pointed its finger at us. This has greatly reduced Liu Zhixing's pressure."
"That's a good thing."
Wu Nian cheered up and found a positive side to himself in this rotten situation, enjoying the hardships.
But Lu Sheng couldn't laugh.
The pressure on Liu Zhixing was reduced, but the pressure on his shoulders increased sharply. But Wu Nian, as a general who assisted the Han Dynasty, was careless.
Lu Sheng looked at Wu Nian with a resentful look.
Of course Wu Nian also knew that he, the hands-off shopkeeper, was not being kind. But there is no way, he is really not good at dealing with various things.
Kill people, take lives, and conquer cities and territories. It's up to him.
Leave various matters to people like Liu Zhixing and Lu Sheng.
"It's a mess. Come in. Let's find threads in this mess and stabilize the situation." Wu Nian took a deep breath, turned around and entered the Dexing Pavilion.
"Yes." Lu Sheng responded and quickly followed. Immediately, he saw Eqin and Eniang.
He was naturally well informed and knew that the two sisters were Wu Nian's favorite concubines. But it was the first time I saw it with my own eyes. I didn't dare to look at it more, so I lowered my head and looked at my toes.
"Everyone, please go down. Let the guards bring chairs and coffee tables. Make a cup of good tea." Wu Nian said to Eqin and Eniang.
"Yes." The two sisters glanced at Lu Sheng curiously, and then went down obediently.
Not long after, the guard came in from outside. There is a Taishi chair, a coffee table, and a cup of good tea. Lu Sheng sat down to drink tea and discuss with Wu Nian.
"The pressure on Liaodong has dropped sharply, so I don't have to worry. But Goguryeo is having a hard time. Li Jinzhu in the south is supported by Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong, so he is a certain threat."
"Now the Fuso navy is attacking us at sea. Goguryeo's loyal ministers, or those with evil intentions, have rebelled."
"The only three prefectures that are relatively stable in our hands are Pyongyang, Uiju, and Ganggye. The combat soldiers include four captains of the navy and navy, seven captains of the infantry, and 11,000 households, which seems to be a lot of soldiers. But for the current situation in Goguryeo, it is very stretched.”
"I want to use the Goguryeo people to deal with the rebellion on all sides and the threat of the Fuso Navy. Then I will send the navy and navy to the Han River, plus my own Han army infantry, to confront Li Jinzhu. What do you think?"
Wu Nian sat down and drank a cup of tea. After being silent for a long time, he came up with a plan and raised his head to ask Lu Sheng for advice.
Lu Sheng was surprised, then frowned and lowered his head and pondered.
The battle at Jingge City. They surrendered 10,000 Goguryeo soldiers.
Li Jinzhu fled south, and they surrendered many Goguryeo soldiers. In addition, Goguryeo soldiers continued to defect.
The original Goguryeo navy in the Yalu River was also divided between the north and the south. Someone led troops and sailed a river warship and took the risk of defecting to Li Jinzhu along the coast.
Some simply surrendered to them.
This is a considerable force, but it is also a double-edged sword.
"General. With all due respect, the Goguryeo people are new and not as loyal as the Han soldiers." After thinking for a long time, Lu Sheng shook his head and raised a very practical question.
Han soldiers and Goguryeo soldiers.
They are different.
"Of course I know this. Although the Goguryeo people call themselves Xiaozong, they have been separated from the Yanhan for more than a thousand years, and they are actually two tribes. My intention is to Chineseize them and return to the Yanhan."
"But that was after the war."
"But. Everything must have a beginning. If we never trust the Goguryeo soldiers, how can the Goguryeo people trust me? Let's start from this matter."
"Believe in the Goguryeo soldiers and these surrendered generals. What do you think?"
"Besides, they are Goguryeo people. They know the terrain and customs of Goguryeo very well. Use them to counter the rebellion and resist the Fuso Navy."
"It's easier than Han soldiers."
"what you think?"
Wu young man nodded lightly, affirmed Lu Sheng's words, then expressed his own opinion, and continued to ask Lu Sheng's opinion in a discussion tone.
