In the blink of an eye, it was already mid-October of the first year of Chuping, and the weather became cold. There was a light snowfall last night, which sprinkled the northern country with a light silvery white color, making the country more beautiful.

Zheng Yu stood by the stream, looking at the gurgling water, but he was cursing in his heart, "Damn it, what is this about destroying the Three Kingdoms? Why is it that the Central Plains is still peaceful, but there is a big fight outside the pass?"

He counted with his fingers and found that there were nine parties participating in the war, including Wuhuan with five people, Gongsundu from Liaodong with one party, Xianbei in the north with two large tribes, and Goguryeo was also involved. This was also

This does not include him, a powerful force who is watching covetously from the side, trying to take a big bite.

He was thinking, should he help Li Ji, Jin Ji and Yu Ji avenge their family and oust the Jin family from power?

Because Xianbei's Suli and Yuwen Mohuai jointly attacked the Jin clan of Goguryeo, this possibility greatly increased. Zheng Yu was also ready to move. Perhaps he could also take advantage of this opportunity to help Li Ji ascend the throne of the Queen of Goguryeo, and then defeat him.

Liaodong and Fuyu in the north can completely control the Kantung region and have a stable rear.

In the future, if we participate in the struggle for hegemony within the Guan, we will be strategically in a very proactive position that can advance or retreat.

"Ms. sir, it's getting cold. Let's go back to the house." Wu Min came over and put a long mink fur coat on him. He straightened the skirt of his clothes and buttoned it up. His expression looked gentle and considerate. She patted him.

Patted Qiu Yao on the back

Dusting off the dust, he opened his mouth and asked: "My husband, are you still thinking about all that nonsense?" Her expression was extremely charming. She seemed to have changed during this period. She always loved to smile and had a happy look on her face. She was even more fond of Zheng Yu.

obedience.

"It's a waste, haha, it's really a failure!" Zheng Yu laughed happily. He was the one who brought this word. Now Wu Min and Li Ji often shout "It's a failure, it's a failure". Although it makes him feel awkward,

But they were happy in their hearts. The two girls found that Zheng Yu always laughed heartily when they shouted "bad things", so they shouted even more cheerfully.

Wu Min took Zheng Yu's hand and walked into the yard, saying as he walked: "Lei Bao went to Lu Ziqi's place to wait for the news. Lu Ziqi was so anxious that he wanted to go find out the news in person, but Lei Bao held him back.

He said that the lord would often discuss matters with him and would not allow him to leave."

Zheng Yu touched his head and said mockingly: "I was too anxious about this, so I put pressure on my subordinates. I will ask someone to talk to Lu Ziqi later and tell him not to be anxious and to wait patiently for news from the spies. We will send so many

With many spies and the various team members of Langya, the news can be transmitted very quickly."

"Then let's just drink tea and wait at home. Don't be in a hurry. Isn't it just a lot of 'ruining'? Besides, we are in a mobile position, pointing here and there. My husband is far-sighted and comfortable. It's not like those people in Uda.

Now we still have to endure hunger, we still have to kill and be killed desperately, and we face the fate of the whole army being annihilated. Really, we are in the midst of blessings and we need to know the blessings."

Wu Min scolded her gently, but with a smile on her face, she looked extremely satisfied.

When Zheng Yu saw this, his heart felt itchy again, so he stretched out his hand to hold her tighter, and said lovingly: "Yes, Xiao Yun is blessed. With you sisters, my husband's heart is always full of sunshine.

We want to know our blessings and cherish them."

Returning to the house, they saw Lu Ziqi sitting drinking tea and Lei Bao talking to him. When the two saw Zheng Yu walking in, they quickly knelt down and said: "My lord is safe, my mistress is safe!"

"Get up, it's so cold in this cold weather, you'll get arthritis if you kneel down." Zheng Yu chuckled, and then gave them a little support to signal them to get up. After sitting down, Zheng Yu said with a smile: "About the matter of inquiring about information,

It's my lord that I'm too impatient, so don't be impatient, this matter can't be rushed."

"Lord, there is news." Lu Ziqi said loudly, with excitement on his face, "It's news from Wandu, the capital of Goguryeo."

It turned out that Yuwen Mohuai's troops sent 30,000 cavalry, commanded by Yuwen Mohuai himself, to attack Goguryeo from north to south; while Suli's troops, led by him personally, had 20,000 cavalry, first attacking Supu in Xuantu County and northern Liaoning.

Yanbu territory, then marched eastward, and met with Yuwen Mohuai and his troops at the gate of Marudu City.

King Jin Yang of Goguryeo did not engage in a decisive battle with the two Xianbei troops in the border area. Instead, he quickly reduced his troops and concentrated on building fortifications near Wandu. He set up five lines of defense and resisted step by step in an attempt to consume the troops of Xianbei Suli and Yuwen Mohuai.

After that, he finally fought a decisive battle with him at the gate of Wandu City. On the other hand, he immediately sent people to the east of Mazishui to find Gongsun Du to ask for reinforcements.

"You mean there is collusion between Gongsun Du and Goguryeo?" Zheng Yu asked in surprise, then turned to look at Li Ji and saw that although her face remained calm, she was listening seriously. Jin Yang was his father's subordinate.

, but in the end, he conspired to usurp her father's throne and was the great enemy of her family.

"I'm not entirely sure, but there is a secret agreement between us. Previously, Gongsun Duben had a secret agreement with Su Li and Yuwen Mohuai. The content of the agreement was that Su would lead his troops south to attack Liucheng in an attempt to contain us and prevent our troops from participating.

During the battle in Liaodong, Yuwen Mohuai's tribe was responsible for attacking the flanks of the Wuhuan coalition and the rear of Su Buyan. Obviously, the two Xianbei masters broke their promise."

Zheng Yu was scolding his mother in his heart, saying that from ancient times to the present, these agreements have been regarded as nonsense. The core of them is that strength and interests have the final say. As long as it is beneficial to himself, he can tear up the treaty whenever he wants. He doesn't take it seriously at all.

It seems that this bad habit has been around since ancient times.

Zheng Yu turned to Li Ji and asked, "Feng'er, do you think Jin Yang can hold Wandu?"

Li Ji shook her body, and Wu Min quickly helped her sit down. Obviously she didn't want to mention these old things, but in order to let her husband have a more comprehensive understanding of the situation in Goguryeo, she could only bite the bullet and said: "Jin Yang is the most powerful general in Goguryeo.

He is extremely good at defense. When my father was here, he was always responsible for defending the city, and he was never defeated. However, this time the two Xianbei tribes jointly attacked. If we only relied on Goguryeo's own strength, Jinyang would probably be in trouble."

After listening to Li Ji's introduction, Zheng Yu was overjoyed. He thought that since Jin Yang was a fierce general and good at defending, he would be able to severely damage the Xianbei tribes who were not good at attacking the city. If Gongsun Du could send troops, he might be able to save the capital.

, but even so, these warring parties will eventually lie down on the ground and breathe each other.

Suddenly, he found that the situation he was in was more favorable than he imagined.

After Lu Ziqi left, Zheng Yu and Li Ji discussed the situation in Goguryeo and possible future developments in detail. He asked seriously: "Feng'er, how about you becoming the queen of Goguryeo?"

But Li Ji was not interested, "It's better for me to stay with my husband. Feng'er is content with this life. Besides, I also want to cultivate immortality. I really don't want to participate in these worldly things, and I don't want to talk about those old memories anymore. That's it."

My husband has everything."

Seeing Li Ji's calm attitude, Zheng Yu stopped talking. Then, he patiently waited for the news of the battle between Gongsun Du and Wuda and others, thinking that this time Wuda, Su Buyan and others must have something.

It's a big disaster.

However, it was said that Wu Da, who was fighting Liu Yi on the front line of Xi'anping, immediately called Su Buyan after receiving a tip from spies that nearly ten thousand people from the Liaodong Army had been found crossing the Mazi River upstream in an attempt to threaten the flanks of the Wuhuan coalition forces.

, Loushan and Nanlou discussed together.

After hearing the information, Nanlou said with a serious face: "The situation is not good. Gongsun Du's small force was found crossing the river upstream. Could it be that Gongsun Du has captured Ma Bian?" As the war was in a stalemate, he was anxious and thought that since he could not defeat it,

, we should withdraw our troops immediately. This is almost a gamble.

Wu Da's face was livid. He knew that this was a gamble. He was betting that Xi'an Ping could be captured as soon as possible. He was betting that Gongsun Du would not have time to reinforce Liu Yi. But now it seemed that Xi'an Ping would not be captured in the short term. He was betting on Liu Yi.

His military command ability was underestimated, especially when Liu Yi was on the front line of Tucheng, which delayed the coalition forces for more than a month and wasted a lot of time. At this time, Xi'anping was transformed into Tucheng, which was more difficult to attack than Tucheng.

Su Puyan had been very active before, but after seeing Xi'anping's defense facilities, he was also worried. The long and wide moat, which also brought in the surging water of Mazi River, would be a problem in the short term anyway.

It couldn't be filled out, so at this time, I also retreated.

"Since Xi'an cannot be conquered in the short term, we should consider withdrawing our troops. Moreover, Gongsun Du sent a small force to cross the river from the upper reaches. It is possible that he wanted to distract me and scare us. But another possibility is that

Gongsun Du has captured Ma Bian and is marching eastward. This is his vanguard force. Once our allied forces are encircled by him, they will suffer huge losses, so it is best to withdraw."

Wu Yan stood up and said: "I heard that Gongsun Du has a Liaodong navy. I wonder where it is now? How big is its transport capacity? If its transport capacity is large enough, if a large number of Liaodong troops appear behind me, we will not be able to go back, or will we?

The priority is to withdraw our troops."

Seeing that the three Wuhuan masters insisted on withdrawing their troops, Wuda did not dare to say anything more. He felt guilty and felt that the war situation was developing in an unfavorable direction, so he called Loushan and ordered him to take 10,000 cavalry and drive back to Tucheng at night.

Hold on and let the river channel be excavated, dig out all the mouths of the upstream streams, and pour water into the moat.

Wu Da stood up and said: "Tucheng is a strategic point that can be advanced or retreated. We must firmly control it. The army will launch an attack on Xi'anping and make a final effort. If we cannot conquer it, we will withdraw immediately without hesitation."

From now on, all ministries will make various preparations for the withdrawal of troops."

The battle to attack Xi'an Ping did not go well. Although the inlet of Ma Zi water into the moat had been blocked long ago, the moat was quite wide and the water depth was deeper than that of Tucheng moat. The Wuhuan coalition forces spent a lot of effort to fill in a few channels.

Passage, attack to Xi'an Pingcheng.

The siege continued for a whole day to no avail.

Liu Yi organized a dense force on the city tower, shot arrows from a high position, and poured down a large amount of tung oil, causing heavy losses to the Wuhuan coalition troops who entered the city. When Uda returned to the camp that night, he heard even more unfortunate news, which made him lie down on the ground in shock.

His face was pale and he couldn't speak.

The bad news is that Gongsundu landed more than 30,000 troops in the western part of Liaodong County, cut off the Wuhuan coalition's retreat, and was now attacking Liaodong County. Su Puyan, Nanlou and Wuyan rushed over, and everyone listened.

After hearing the news, everyone turned pale, and then received even more unfortunate news that Lord Suli of Xianbei led 20,000 cavalry to raid Su Puyan's lair.
