The huge Yalu River is dotted with water villages of the Goguryeo navy. The navy warships patrol the river every day in the cold and heat.

In addition, Goguryeo's spies are also operating in Liaodong. Goguryeo's alert has been put on full alert, and no one dares to take it lightly.

To take the Liaodong Tigers lightly is to joke with your own life.

Chang Weiguo was the person in charge of one section of the Yalu River, a general who commanded 2,000 naval troops.

In the water village, in the big tent.

Chang Weiguo's face showed joy, he looked at the soldiers in front and said, "You mean, Wu Nian withdrew his troops from Guangyang Mansion?"

"The spies have come to report. Captain Tieniu's army has already broken out of camp and moved into the stronghold. The rest of the troops have not moved yet, but they are all preparing for the withdrawal."

The joy on Chang Weiguo's face became even stronger. He stood up and walked around with his hands behind his hands, saying to himself: "Although our naval force is strong, we can guard the Yalu River."

"But it is a powerful force on the outside. Once the Yalu River is breached, the country's defenses will be empty."

"With a strong enemy at our side, the destruction of the country and the family is imminent. Wu Nian withdraws his troops at this time, and we have a chance to breathe. In less than two years, our army will be able to regain its strength."

At this point, Chang Weiguo stopped, with a look of confusion on his face, and said, "Just... why did Wu Nian suddenly withdraw his troops?"

Chang Wei, a mere young general, had not received detailed information, so he was naturally confused. He shook his head, thought no more, and said to the soldiers: "Send the news back to the capital immediately."

"Yes." The soldier responded and went down with a smile on his face.

It would be great not to have to fight.

Fifty thousand soldiers crossed the river, but only 10,000 came back. The battle was really brutal.

Chang Weiguo thought so too, and couldn't help but smile.

...........

The capital of Goguryeo.

When Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng returned from their defeat, the capital city was like a calm pond, and suddenly a huge boulder fell into it, creating a storm.

The Queen Mother Chui Lian, who had a stable position, was almost knocked to the ground. Then Zhao Mancheng took action. How many people were exiled and killed.

For a time, the capital city was filled with bloodshed. Although it has gradually subsided, the faint smell of blood is still exuding throughout the capital city.

And the disaster of national subjugation is just around the corner.

This big city, which has been prosperous and peaceful for many years, is no longer peaceful.

morning.

The gates of the capital city were all open, and elite soldiers were stationed in front of the city gates, strictly checking the people and goods entering and leaving the city.

"Drive!!!" A group of cavalry came from north to south with great momentum.

The elite soldiers guarding the city wanted to stop them. One of the cavalrymen shouted: "There is an urgent military situation."

The elite soldiers guarding the city stopped and allowed the cavalry to gallop towards the city. Wherever they passed, people turned on their backs and cursed.

In the palace, in a side hall.

Goguryeo was rich, and even a small side palace was magnificently decorated. All the furnishings in the residence were of high quality.

Sitting on the throne was not the King of Goguryeo, but Queen Mother Li Jinzhu.

She is already thirty this year. But as a deep palace queen, she has to take care of herself a lot. Although the years have passed, they have not left any traces on her body. Instead, as time has passed, the girlish greenness on her body has been washed away.

Astringent, more mature than a woman.

The most beautiful woman in Goguryeo became more and more gorgeous.

She frowned slightly, showing surprise, lightly opened her red lips, and asked: "Wu Nian set up two garrison houses of ten thousand households in Guangyang Mansion, and also prepared two naval forces of ten thousand households, built warships, and sharpened swords.

.Why did you suddenly retreat?"

The leading minister Li Yongshan, generals Li Yunchong, Zhao Mancheng and others stood in an orderly manner.

Everyone looked at Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng. Regarding war matters, they still needed to be answered professionally.

Li Yunchong came out from his shift, bowed and saluted Li Jinzhu and said, "I would like to report to the Queen Mother. Wu's actions before and after are indeed strange. There is too little information now, and I cannot make a judgment. But it is possible that Wu Nian faked a shot and pretended to withdraw his troops.

, and then struck hard."

"I think we should not let down our guard, but should be more vigilant."

Zhao Mancheng nodded lightly, that's right. Even if Goguryeo was not seriously injured, it still needed to be more vigilant in the face of the 110,000-strong fighting force facing across the river.

What's more, now that your vitality is severely weakened?

The weirder Wu Nian's behavior is, the more vigilant he should be.

"Yeah." Li Jinzhu also nodded lightly.

Although she doesn't understand military affairs, she is good at conspiracy. She knows how to take things by surprise and attack them unprepared. Just like before, she sent envoys to express her submission to Wu Nian.

Only then did he dispel Wu Nian's doubts and deceive Wu Nian into Guangyang Mansion.

It's a pity that this Liaodong tiger was not killed in this way.

Thinking of the past, Li Jinzhu couldn't help but regret. She ended up like this because of her greed. If it weren't for the support of the Zhao family, she might have entered the cold palace now.

Of course, the Li family was also wiped out.

Don't stroke the tiger's beard easily.

Can't.

At this moment, an eunuch hurriedly barged in from the outside. Everyone frowned. It was too rude to discuss military and state affairs now.

Without waiting for Li Jinzhu to scold him, the eunuch immediately raised the certificate of credence in his hand above his head and saluted respectfully: "The Queen Mother, Lord Fuso, and General Toyotomi sent people to deliver the certificate of credence."

"At this time?" Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they keenly felt something unusual.

It had not been long since General Toyotomi pacified the troubled times in Fuso. Although the two countries were neighboring countries, they had not had much contact with each other.

Li Jinzhu didn't say much. A eunuch next to her walked down the steps, reached out and took the letter of credence, then returned to the throne and bent down to hand it to Li Jinzhu.

Li Jinzhu stretched out his green and tender hands, took the letter of credence, opened it and looked at it. A happy look appeared on his delicate and beautiful face.

"hehe."

She couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud. This laughter relieved the depression in her chest and made her happy.

As her facial features stretch out, her beauty becomes even more beautiful. She looks like the sun and cannot be looked directly at by ordinary people.

The characteristics of Goguryeo and Fusang.

The elite nobles of Goguryeo can all speak the Chu Mandarin and write good Chinese characters. The Chu Mandarin is not so popular in Fusang, but the daimyo and qualified warriors are all proficient in Chinese.

The official correspondence between Goguryeo and Fusang was all in Chinese.

No need for translation, you can understand it at a glance.

This laughter made all the civil and military personnel present feel moved. Could it be that something big happened? Is Wu Nian's retreat related to the Fusang people?

Although all the civil and military officials wanted to take Fuso's credentials and have a quick look at it, they all remained calm and did not lose their composure.

Li Jinzhu glanced at Wen Wu with a smile and said: "Fuso's credential says that Wu Nian gathered the Ryukyu people with evil intentions towards Fuso Okinawa (Ryukyu)."

"General Toyotomi is willing to make an alliance with Goguryeo to block maritime trade in Liaodong. If Goguryeo is invaded, General Toyotomi is willing to send troops to rescue."

With that said, Li Jinzhu closed the certificate of credence and handed it to the eunuch beside him, signaling with his eyes. Then he smiled to himself and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you."

"Wu Nian was entrenched in Guangyang Prefecture, which was only separated from Goguryeo by a river. The troops of 110,000 households, carrying the momentum of victory, were like a sharp blade, swinging towards the Aijia."

"Aijia couldn't think about his tea and food, so he tossed and turned. Now, Aijia can finally have a good night's sleep."

After a pause, Li Jinzhu said with a smile: "In the evening, the Ai family will hold a banquet in the main hall. Please make sure you don't get drunk and don't come home."

After the eunuch took the credentials, he went down the steps again, walked to Li Yongshan, and handed over the credentials.

Li Yongshan was stunned for a moment, and then he reached out to take the certificate of credence with great joy, and began to read it carefully. After reading it, he handed it to the person next to him.

It's in this transmission.

Soon, all the civil and military officials in the side hall had finished reading the credentials. Everyone looked ecstatic or breathed a sigh of relief.

Including Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng.

The two looked at each other and smiled slightly.

This time.

No more worries.
