The strongest Marquis in history

The situation is not good!

Originally, Park Yisheng believed that the strength of the Qi State was very strong, and Goguryeo could not defeat the Qi State even with the power of the whole country.Therefore, Goguryeo took the initiative to ask to become a minister again, and Qi would agree to it in order to reduce losses.

Unexpectedly, Qi Guo was unwilling to accept Goguryeo's surrender, which is really abominable.

This is to force him to fight!

Pu Yisheng said: "Pu Qing, what do you think of this matter?"

Pu Yongyuan said: "Reporting to the king, this is a big matter. Now, we must first consider the matter of facing the battle or becoming a minister. First determine this direction, and then consider the follow-up."

"war!"

Park Yisheng answered decisively with sharp eyes.

He walked back and forth a few more steps, and after stabilizing his mind, he said again: "We are now in a war with Qi State, which is inevitable. Let this king give up Qi State, and let this king not fight!" And surrender, even let me Koguryo surrender to the whole country, directly included in the Qi State, no one is happy."

Park Yongyuan said: "Since His Majesty has decided, let's fight. We are now in a weak position, and we must consider a good strategy to deal with it. For this matter, we must first call the main ministers to discuss the matter together."

Pu Yisheng said: "It is necessary to arrange someone to come to discuss the matter. When someone comes, the prime minister and the general will be called to discuss the matter. In addition, the servants of the household department and the military department will also be notified."

The servant got the order and went to inform immediately.

Chapter 872 Three Lines of Defense

After Pu Yisheng made the arrangements, he looked at Pu Yongyuan again and said, "Pu Qing, you have been to Xianbei and met Wang Qi in this battle, how much do you think we can be sure about this battle? "

Pu Yongyuan sighed and said: "Your Majesty, I think this battle may be quite difficult. The reason is very simple. The strength of the two sides is very different. In particular, Xianbei surrendered to Qi State as a whole, and Qi State attacked Xianbei without any loss. "

"Under such a premise, if we want to defeat Qi, we will face tremendous pressure. However, according to my view, in this battle, we don't want to defeat the opponent, we only want to fight a war of attrition. As long as we can stop Qi's army, It's all worth it."

"As long as our Goguryeo can survive, no matter how high the price is, it's okay. Otherwise, after this war, we will be completely included in the territory of Qi, and our Goguryeo will be completely gone."

"In the old days of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even earlier dynasties, although they wanted us to submit, they wanted us to be vassals. However, they never asked us to become a part of Qi."

"But now, it's different. Here in Qi State, we are required to fully integrate into Qi State. Goguryeo has been destroyed since then, so we must destroy the other side in this battle."

Pu Yisheng frowned.

It is indeed difficult to handle.

He was also thinking carefully in his heart, and even Pu Yisheng immediately arranged to have the whole map of Goguryeo hung up so that he could observe the map and make a response.

Not long after, a rush of footsteps entered.

But four people came.

The two leaders are one on the left and one on the right. The civil servant is Li Changhe, the prime minister, and the military commander is the general Ulji Wenxiong.

Li Changhe is already fifty years old, he is a veteran of the two dynasties, he was the teacher of Pu Yisheng in the past, he was the god of Dinghai for Goguryeo civil officials, and the prime minister as the head of civil officials.

Eulji Moonung's age is about the same as Li Changha's, even slightly older than Li Changha's, already nearly sixty years old.In his early years, even in Dazhou, Dazhou attacked Goguryeo several times, trying to make Goguryeo a vassal.

When Dazhou invaded, it was Ulji Wenxiong who personally led the troops to resist, blocked the attack of Dazhou's army, and kept Goguryeo.From then on, although Goguryeo was still a vassal state of the Great Zhou on the surface, in fact, it had become independent from the Great Zhou.

The people behind the two are Cui Mincheng, Minister of the Ministry of Households, and Zhong Jinguo, Minister of the Ministry of War.

Both of them were in their thirties, and they were both Pu Yisheng's promoted confidants.

Park Yisheng has been the king of Goguryeo for nearly 20 years, and now the Goguryeo court is full of Pu Yisheng's confidantes.Compared with Emperor Shotoku of Japan, Park Yee-sung has not encountered any constraints, and has never been a puppet.

Park Yisheng succeeded to the throne when he was young and became the king of Goguryeo. He also has royal power.Then, relying on his own ability, he constantly adjusted the court situation, and in a short period of time, he completed the change of the emperor and the courtiers, and his power was all over the court.

Even when Pu Yisheng wiped out the small countries on the Liaodong Peninsula, his power and majesty reached its peak.

He is the supreme ruler of Goguryeo.

After Li Changhe, Eulji Moonxiong and others stood still, they saluted together. When the four saw Pu Yongyuan standing in the hall, they all immediately understood that the matter was related to Qi State.

Pu Yisheng got straight to the point and said: "You must have already guessed what happened this time. Pu Qing went to Xianbei Danhan Mountain as an envoy and met with the emperor of Qi State. Qi State does not accept our request for peace."

"The emperor of Qi, Wang Qi, insisted on destroying Goguryeo completely like destroying Xianbei, so that Goguryeo did not exist. Even now, Wang Qi established Liaozhou in Xianbei, and Xianbei has disappeared since then, and I, Goguryeo, also want to establish One state, let us all become people of Qi."

"Wang Qi just don't think about it."

Ulchi Fumio's hair and beard fluttered, and he became angry immediately.

His eyes were extremely serious.

As a general who has experienced step by step from the local area, Ulchi Fumio has enough confidence to fight.

He blew his beard and stared, and said decisively: "Your Majesty, although Qi is strong and we are weak, it has existed since ancient times that the weak can defeat the strong. In this battle, we will fight again."

"In the past, we fought a battle with Dazhou, and we played the prestige of my Goguryeo. Since then, I, Goguryeo, have never encountered the threat of Dazhou for more than 30 years. Now, the emperor of Qi has vowed, with a menacing look look."

"Our battle, no matter how difficult it is, must be fought, the battle of our Koguryo nation-building."

"If we win this battle, then I, Goguryeo, will no longer need to regard myself as a vassal country. Especially now, we are also a country with rifles. Our strength is also very strong."

"Although the Haixi Empire and the Wa Kingdom were defeated, the Wa Kingdom is not strong, and the Haixi Empire has always been arrogant. It is not surprising that they lost."

"As for our Goguryeo battle, we must be able to play out our demeanor and thoroughly fight the battle of our nation-building."

Ulchi Fumio himself is a tough main fighter.

He is not afraid of war.

Just fight, Goguryeo has enough soldiers and enough troops to fight.

Zhong Jinguo, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, also echoed: "Your Majesty, I also suggest a war. The existence of my Goguryeo has never been a charity from the Great Zhou, nor a gift of mercy from the Great Zhou. It was fought one by one. If there were no these, there would be no existence of Goguryeo. It was true in the past, and it is the same today. So no matter what happens to Qi, we are fighting."

Cui Mincheng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said: "Your Majesty, we in Koguryo have had a bumper harvest every year. Our treasury has sufficient food. Even in the entire territory of Koguryo, countless scholars and countless people hope to expand Land. So now, once we start a war with Qi, we have enough background and foundation. We can sustain this battle. In short, let’s kill, we must kill thoroughly, and kill my future in Goguryeo.”

The whole up and down, is the main battle.

This is an attitude of Goguryeo. Even if they are in a disadvantageous situation, they still want to propose a war.

This is the norm.

Goguryeo in history was attacked by several generations of kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and going forward, it was also constantly attacked.Therefore, the history of Goguryeo is all about resistance, so there is no fear, but a war.

Pu Yisheng nodded slightly, but he was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but looked at Li Changhe and said, "Prime Minister, this time we are going to war with Qi, you always think of us, how should we deal with it?"

Li Changhe looked calm, but said slowly: "Your Majesty, this battle is definitely going to be fought, and there is no suspense. If it is useful to claim peace as a minister, Park Yongyuan will not come back in defeat."

After a pause, Li Changhe said again: "What we have to do now is to be more comprehensive, more stable, and even strive to stop Qi's army at the least cost. This is what we need to consider. "

Pu Yisheng nodded and said: "The teacher is right. This fight is of great importance. It is related to the survival of our entire Goguryeo. Fighting is necessary. However, it is necessary to exchange for this victory at the smallest price. .”

"Even if we think about the worst, even if we can't stop it, we must try our best to weaken Qi's power. In the end, we will keep Goguryeo."

"Our Goguryeo side must not follow in Xianbei's footsteps."

Having said that, Park Yisheng looked at Eulji Moonung, and said, "Old General Eulchi, you are a veteran general, and you have even fought against Daeju before. Your experience is the most abundant. Let me tell you, How should we fight this battle? The king of the map has been hung up, come and take a look."

Ulchi stood up unceremoniously, and said: "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, when Park Yong-won was on the mission, I had already considered that this battle might start."

"So, I considered going to war."

"From my point of view, no matter what kind of negotiation, there will always be a fight. Qi Guo thinks that we can directly destroy us, and we think we can stop it. So we will have a contest first, and then we will consider other things."

He walked up to the map, pointed directly at the Datong River in the northernmost part of Goguryeo, and said, "When you enter Goguryeo from Liaodong, the first line of defense is the Datong River in the north."

"Our first line of defense is to build fortifications and deploy defense lines on the Datong River. The current of the Datong River is still turbulent. It is not easy for Qi to cross the river."

"It's the first line of defense."

"Our second line of defense is at Caoshan Pass. This location at Caoshan Pass is the only place to go south. This location is about [-] miles away from the northernmost Datong River."

"So we are on the hillsides on both sides of Caoshan Pass, occupying the high ground and guarding the most important commanding heights. After all, we now have rifles. With our own rifles, we can attack the enemies who want to cross the mountain."

"It will be very difficult for the army of Qi to cross the Caoshan Pass."

"Our third line of defense is in Yongding City. This city is the largest fortified city when we continue to go south after passing Caoshan Pass. In order to resist the attack of Da Zhou, it used to be on the left and right sides of Yongding City. Each built a city where troops were stationed."

"As long as the Qi State comes to attack, the troops from both places can rush to help at the same time."

"For now, it's a defensive strategy of the moment."

"Of course, it's not that I didn't think about it. We took the initiative to attack. We just want to take the initiative to kill and directly confront Qi. I don't think we, Goguryeo, have the strength yet."

"After all, Qi State was able to defeat the Haixi Empire, the Wa State, and even the Xianbei surrendered, so we consider things a little worse. The first thing is ourselves, we may not be able to stop it, and defend on the whole."

"When this battle is over, if we find out that we have a chance to fight back, we will consider counterattack then."

"The strategy that can be drawn up now is the strategy of the general direction. When all the directions are determined, then when it comes to fighting, adjust slowly."

Eulchi Wenxiong talked eloquently.

There was a glint of light in his slightly cloudy eyes.

He is not a grand master, but he has stepped into the master realm for many years and is a master at the peak realm.Therefore, even though he is a little old, Ulji Fumung's spirit is very good, and he does not look old at all.

Pu Yisheng also thought about it after listening to it. He agreed, but he didn't express his opinion immediately. Instead, he looked at Li Changhe and said, "Prime Minister, what do you think of the old general's suggestion?"

Li Changhe said: "Your Majesty, I agree with you. When it comes to mobilizing troops to fight, and when it comes to the ability to fight, the old general is the most experienced person in Goguryeo."

"His suggestion, I think, is very reasonable. What the imperial court needs to do now is to supply food and grass, as well as provide guns and ammunition to ensure the stability of logistics."

"Of course, there is one more thing, and that is to publicize that my Goguryeo is about to suffer a war of annihilation. There must be a war. So mobilize all people and let everyone participate. In this battle of Goguryeo, all the people are soldiers and all come. resistance."

Pu Yisheng said: "What the Prime Minister said is true."

After a pause, Pu Yisheng continued: "For this battle, the prime minister and the general have the full authority to dispatch it. Whether it is a civil servant or a military commander, the entire Koguryo country is fully prepared for the battle."

"Yes!"

Li Changhe and Eulji Moonung answered in unison.

Cui Mincheng and Zhong Jinguo followed suit. They were the main participants, and they both understood the key to this battle.

They are all ready.

In this battle, Goguryeo went all out.

Everyone left separately, and Pu Yisheng sat alone in the tent, thinking about the follow-up train of thought.

While Pu Yisheng was thinking about the follow-up, an internal servant hurried in, bowed and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, please see me."

"pass!"

Park Yisheng gave an order.

Not long after the servant went to deliver the order, a young man in his twenties entered.

The young man is a little over 170 centimeters tall, and in Goguryeo, he is already a magnificent figure.He was dressed gorgeously, with a golden crown on his head and a jade belt around his waist. After standing still in the hall, the young man said, "Father!"

The name of the visitor was Pu Yuanqi, the only son of Pu Yisheng.

Park Yisheng is in his forties, and there are more than a dozen concubines in the harem, but the key point is that his daughters have given birth to a bunch of them, and there is only this one son, and the others are all daughters.Even if another son was born, he died prematurely because of his young age and illness.

Pu Yisheng said: "Prince, why are you here?"

Park Yuanqi said: "Father, when my son went to the treasury to transfer money today, the people in the treasury actually rejected me directly. Now I want to hold a banquet for the scholars who come to defect. If I can't even manage the banquet, How to entertain these people. In this case, please think twice."

When Pu Yisheng heard this, his cheeks twitched.

His son is a good literati, and then the couple talked together, talking eloquently about the way of governing the country.In such a situation, Park Yuanqi enjoyed it, but from the perspective of an old Jianghu like Pu Yisheng, this was bragging together, a group of people holding up Park Yuanqi's stinky feet.

Therefore, Pu Yisheng specially instructed him to prohibit giving Pu Yuanqi money.

Park Yisheng said: "Prince, you are the future heir of Goguryeo. What you have to do is to polish your eyes, and let yourself have judgment. You can't treat a group of people without discrimination."

"Talents who govern the country are extremely rare. How can there be so many talents who govern the country. These people, in my opinion, are all people who make up for their numbers. Therefore, I cut off your money supply."

"The money given to you in the East Palace every month is not a lot. However, it is really inappropriate for you to overspend again and again."

Pu Yisheng hated that iron could not be made into steel.

You know, Pu Yuanqi is not young, but now, he is a little naive, and he is too easy to be deceived.

There is no king's heart at all.

In his heart, Pu Yuanqi disagreed. He frowned and said, "Father, why am I not doing something right? If there is no basic money, who is willing to serve the East Palace?"

"There is a saying in the state of Qi that all the prosperity of the world come for profit. These talents want to display their ambitions, but they also come for profit. Therefore, I think that the basic treatment that should be given should not be bad."

"If we can't raise more disciples and more scholars, it will definitely be difficult for us to discover more talents. Father, you have always been used to being poor, so you searched and searched."

"Damn things!"

Park Yisheng became angry at once.

Originally, now that the Qi State was about to come, Goguryeo was already in danger and faced a huge threat.But at this time, Pu Yuanqi was still not worried, and continued to make trouble, which made Pu Yisheng's anger rise three feet high.
