royal palace.

Virtue Pavilion.

Wu Nian was dressed in a black python robe and sat on the throne. E's wife and E's wife followed him to serve him.

Wu Nian frowned and looked down at the mountain of papers piled up on the imperial desk. E's mother and E Niang were careful, for fear of offending Wu Nian.

But this solemn atmosphere made the two sisters breathless. Eqin thought for a moment, gently picked up the cool tea on the bright yellow imperial desk, moved lightly to the palace entrance, and said to the guard on the left: "

Go make some hot tea."

"Yes." None of the guards present dared to look at Eqin for fear of being rude. They bowed their heads in response, reached out to take the tea cup, and turned around to leave.

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, Eniang's heart 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.

His attack on the Goguryeo Palace had both good and bad aspects. Goguryeo was like a beast stabbed in the heart.

Li Jinzhu took the court to Seoul in the south, trying to hold on to 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 are constantly raising armies, some in a small way, but some in a massive way. Places like Pyongyang, Uiju, and Ganggye are located in the plains and are easier to control.

However, the mountainous prefectures and counties in the east are difficult to control. If troops are sent to suppress the rebellion, they may fall into a quagmire.

A spark of fire.

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 quickly. If the attack fails and there is a fire in the rear, we will be in a dilemma."

Wu Nian took a breath and shook his head with a wry smile.

Immediately, a stern look flashed in Wu Nian's eyes, and he had to find a way to kill the rebels. He would kill them if they should, and exile them if they should.

Never be merciful.

"Da da da." Rapid footsteps sounded. Wu Nian turned around and saw Lu Sheng walking quickly.

"What happened?" Wu Nian saw that his face was heavy, and his heart sank as 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 and said straight to the point without giving in, "There is news from General Fuhan's Mansion. In Guangchuan Mansion, the Fusang Navy who caused rebellion in Nanhai Mansion has withdrawn its troops.

"

"But the Fuso Navy has now begun to harass the coastal prefectures and counties of Goguryeo. It has dealt a huge blow to us."

Wu Nian smiled bitterly, what kind of good news or bad news is this? This is clearly 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, as well as by sea and land, and he was already in a state of distress."

"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 favorable 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. As a general supporting the Han Dynasty, Wu Nian was careless.

Lu Sheng looked at Wu Nian with a resentful expression.

Of course Wu Nian also knew that he, the hands-off shopkeeper, was being unkind. But there was no way, he was really not good at handling various things.

Kill people, take lives, conquer cities and territories. Let him do it.

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 and entered the Dexing Pavilion.

"Yes." Lu Sheng responded and quickly followed. Immediately, he saw E Qin and E Niang.

Naturally, he was well informed and knew that these two sisters were Wu Nian's beloved concubines. But this was the first time he saw them with his own eyes, and he did not dare to look any further. He lowered his head and looked at his toes.

"Everyone, please go down. Let the guards bring the chairs and coffee table. Make a cup of good tea." Wu Nian said to E's wife, E Niang.

"Yes." The two sisters glanced at Lu Sheng curiously, and then went down obediently.

Not long after, the guards came in from outside. There was a grand master's chair, a coffee table, and a cup of good tea. Lu Sheng sat down, drank tea, and discussed with Wu Nian.

"The pressure in Liaodong has dropped sharply, so I don't have to worry. But Goguryeo is having a hard time. In the south, Li Jinzhu has Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong supports him, so there 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 the navy, four captains of the navy, seven captains of the infantry, and eleven thousand combat soldiers. It seems like a lot.

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 Fusang Navy. Then I will send the navy and navy to the Han River, add my own Han army infantry, and 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 of Jingge Castle. They surrendered 10,000 Goguryeo soldiers.

Li Jinzhu fled south, and they surrendered many Goguryeo soldiers. In addition, more Goguryeo soldiers continued to defect to them.

The original Goguryeo navy in the Yalu River was also divided between the north and the south. Some people led troops to drive river warships and ventured along the coast to defect to Li Jinzhu.

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, Goguryeo soldiers.

They are different.

"Of course I know this. Although the Goguryeo people claim to be a small sect, they have been separated from the Yanhan for more than a thousand years. 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, customs and customs of Goguryeo very well. Use them to suppress the rebellion and resist the Fuso Navy."

"It's easier than Han soldiers."

"what you think?"
