Gao Yang Heng took the scroll tremblingly, opened it and turned pale.
The first article written above is that Goguryeo will give up its army, and the Sui army will station troops within the borders of Goguryeo. The second article behind it is that the King of Goguryeo must be canonized by the Sui Dynasty, and the eldest son of the royal family must be sent to Luoyang as a hostage. What follows is astronomical compensation, land cession, etc.
"Going to the country would be too much of a deception!"
Gao Yangheng was so angry that he trembled all over and shook the scroll in his hand: "What is the difference between such conditions and the subjugation of the country!"
"You can choose not to agree!"
Lai Hu'er showed murderous intent on his face and said coldly: "I am worried that I will not have the chance to avenge my former glory. I, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, are also very eager for new military exploits!"
Qi Jiguang also sneered and said: "If your king can make Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops surrender to the Sui army, then maybe the conditions can be improved, but it is a pity.
. "
Lai Hu'er's explicit murderous intent and Qi Jiguang's straightforward ridicule made Gao Yangheng lower his head. They were already prisoners of the Sui army, and the army would not listen to their orders. How could they bargain with the Sui army on terms.
"us.
. promise. "
Gao Yangheng's lips trembled and he closed his eyes in pain.

The Sui army landed from the sea and captured Pyongyang. The news spread quickly under the deliberate guidance of the Sui army. It did not take long to reach the Liaodong front line, and the Goguryeo army was immediately in chaos.
Compared to the anxious generals at this moment, Cao Cao, as the leader of an army, acted very calmly. In fact, he had a premonition that something was not going to happen a few days ago. The reason is also very simple. He appointed his eldest son Cao Pi to stay on behalf of the administration. Every three days, Cao Pi would send someone to report to him in detail. Even if there were occasional delays on the road, the error would not exceed two days.
"Commander Father, the people we sent out are back."
While Cao Cao was sitting in silence, his second son Cao Zhang hurried into the tent and whispered to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao opened his eyes at that time and said in a low voice: "Let them come in."
Not long after, Cao Zhang led several soldiers into Cao Cao's tent. Because he had not received a report from Cao Pi, Cao Cao, who had a premonition of something bad, secretly ordered Cao Zhang to send people to Goguryeo to inquire about information many days ago.
Several soldiers knelt down in front of Cao Cao in fear, and carefully reported to Cao Cao that the city of Pyongyang had been lost, Cao Pi was captured, and Xiahou Ba was killed in battle.
Cao Cao remained calm after hearing this. In fact, this was what he had expected. Cao Pi was such a cautious person and would never forget to report something to him unless he encountered something beyond his control.
"What happened after the Sui army captured Pyongyang?"
After a pause, Cao Cao asked.
Several people quickly replied: "Replying to Lord Molizhi, after the Sui army captured Pyongyang, they quickly divided their troops and marched towards the east, west, north and west of our country. It seemed that they wanted to seize more territory before our army came back for reinforcements."
Cao Cao nodded and winked at Cao Zhang calmly. Cao Zhang understood and walked slowly behind several people. Suddenly he became violent and took out his sword from its sheath. He only heard a few screams and several people fell into a pool of blood.
"Prepare your horses and go into the city immediately to see Wanyan Lou's room!"
After seeing Cao Zhang deal with several people, Cao Cao stood up and said in a deep voice: "In addition, send someone to tell the whole army that there is nothing going on in Pyongyang. Everything is a rumor spread by the Sui army. If there are still people spreading it in the army, kill them immediately." amnesty!"

Because the Sui army was aggressively suppressing the country, the alliance between the Jurchens and Goguryeo was still in the honeymoon stage. Cao Cao and a group of guards arrived at Wanyan Loushi's mansion unimpeded.
Wanyan Lou also heard rumors that Pyongyang had been conquered by the Sui army. When he heard that Cao Cao was coming, he immediately ordered someone to invite him into the house.
In Wanyan Lou's residence, in addition to Wanyan Lou, there were also Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Jindanzi, his father and son.
Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zonghan had a very good personal relationship. Wanyan Zonghan was jealous of Han Xin's counterintuitive plot and was relieved of military power by Wanyan Aguda. But now the Jurchen situation is extremely urgent, and Wanyan Aguda has become a prisoner of the Sui army. It is When it came to employing people, Wanyan Loushi asked Wanyan Zonghan to be his deputy.
After Cao Cao entered the palace, he and Wanyan Lou's family and Wanyan Zonghan and his son finished saluting. The impatient Wanyan Jindanzi asked: "Mo Lizhi, there are rumors outside that the Sui army has captured Pyongyang. What is going on? What's going on?"
Cao Cao's face darkened and he stood silently.
Wanyan Zonghan on the side glared at Wanyan Jinpinzi. How could such a matter be asked in public? If it was spread, it would not damage his own morale.
Wanyan Jindanzi was so frightened by Wanyan Zonghan's glare that he quickly lowered his head. Wanyan Zonghan then stepped forward to greet Cao Cao and said with a smile: "A dog doesn't know etiquette, Mo Lizhi, don't take offense. Let's talk inside."
Cao Cao then followed Wanyan Zonghan and walked inside. Wanyan Lou's room waved to the guards on both sides and said: "Everyone, go down. You are not allowed to come in without my order!"
After all the guards left, Cao Cao slowly nodded towards Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zonghan, and said in a deep voice: "The Sui army came from the sea. Our Pyongyang defenders were caught off guard, and the city of Pyongyang was lost!"
Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zonghan sighed together. They knew as early as when the rumors first started that there must be something going on in Pyongyang.
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Although I have ordered the entire army not to spread this matter, paper cannot cover the fire. I am afraid it will not be concealed in a few days. A decision must be made within these days!"
Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Loushi nodded together, and Wanyan Loushi asked: "Then according to Lord Molizhi's wishes, what should we do?"
"The spies I sent out have sent me back the movements of the Sui army within the country. Fortunately, God has not stopped me. After the Sui army captured Pyongyang, it sent troops from all directions to seize our city, and did not immediately advance to Liaodong!"
Cao Cao said happily: "So now our opponent is still Han Xin's Youzhou Corps, and we still have a last chance to fight! My suggestion is to mobilize all the main forces to fight Han Xin's army decisively, and completely defeat Han Xin's army at all casualties. We only have one army in Youzhou. As long as we defeat Han Xin, we can attack Youzhou in one go. Then we will have the trump card to negotiate with the Sui Dynasty and let the Sui Dynasty cede Liaodong and withdraw from Pyongyang!"
"Okay, we completely agree with Mo Lizhi's suggestion. As long as Mo Lizhi gives the order, the Jurchens will go through fire and water at all costs!"
Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zonghan looked at each other and nodded in agreement. In fact, they had no second choice. All the Jurchen elites followed Wanyan Agu and were wiped out in Youzhou. If the Goguryeo army withdrew or collapsed, it would be impossible to save Liaodong with their defeated troops alone.
