"Brother, we obviously did not do things, but now almost everyone thinks that we did it. The limelight outside is very bad for us. Although our Yuan family doesn't care about these things, it's not a good thing after all!" said a tall and fat guy. This person was the Yuan Jingwu who chased Zhou Kun to the city of Beisha.

"The third brother is just some rumors. As long as our Yuan family has an army in his hands, you don't have to care about other minor details." The white and innocent young man standing side by side with Yuan Jingwu said without caring. This man's name is Yuan Jingtu, and he ranks second among the Yuan brothers. Although he is a little arrogant, he is also a difficult person.

Hearing the words of the two brothers, the tall figure sitting on the main seat pondered without saying a word. This man looked over thirties, with a mighty face and a curly beard on his face. He looked like a reckless general. However, this man's eyes were cold and wise, and his whole body was covered with the domineering aura of a superior. Of course, the only person who could have such temperament in Goguryeo was the famous Yuan Gaisuwen in history.

Listening to the discussion between the two younger brothers, Yoon Gaisuwen pondered silently. After a while, he suddenly spoke: "The King and those civil servants are not worth worrying at all. As for the rumors, Yoon Gaisuwen doesn't care even more. What I am worried about now is the force that deliberately led to the internal strife in Goguryeo."

Hearing the elder brother's words, Yuan Jingtu and Yuan Jingwu also became silent. Since last year, they felt that there was a force of unknown origin and had been trying to promote the relationship between their Yuan clan, King Rongliu and those civil officials. At first they were not clear about the other party's origin, and they speculated that it might have been sent by Silla, a feud of Goguryeo, but as the situation developed, they suddenly discovered that the human and material resources of this force were very terrifying. It was absolutely impossible to be the small country of Silla. The surrounding areas had the strength and reason to do so, and there was no other possibility except for the Tang Dynasty.

"The Tang Dynasty not only promoted our relationship with the king, but also sent troops to plunder our country continuously. Over the past year, the tax on Goguryeo has been reduced by more than 20%. Many people on the border are unable to eat, and many Han people from Liaodong even crossed the border and fled to the Tang Dynasty. This two-pronged approach is obviously not small!" Yuan Jingtu also snorted coldly and said.

"Brother, are you worried that if we fight with the king, it will lead to the Tang Dynasty's troops attacking me, Goguryeo?" Yuan Jingwu's wisdom was not inferior to his two brothers, and he immediately understood the meaning of Yuan Gaisu's words.

"Yes, although there is no definite news yet. But I am 80% sure. The Tang Dynasty must have made preparations in all aspects. As long as we have a conflict with the king, the Tang army will immediately be in a big army." Yuan Gai Suwen said firmly. Although he had never seen the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the information he collected from other aspects can be confirmed that the other party had already regarded Goguryeo as a must-see country. It is naturally the best to meet a good opportunity. If there is no chance, then he will create an opportunity. Anyway, it is never a pity that will never give up.

"Brother. The Tang Dynasty has strong national strength and the Tang army has unparalleled combat power. With our Goguryeo national strength, it seems difficult to resist the opponent's attack from the enemy." Although Yuan Pure Land is arrogant, he is very self-aware and has awe of the great Tang Dynasty, which is so powerful that he said so.

"Since that's the case, should we suspend the plan to deal with the king and those civil officials? After all, although the other party's strength is weak, if it wants to completely eliminate it, it will definitely cause domestic unrest. If the Tang Dynasty attacks at this time, it will be even more difficult for us to resist!" Yuan Jingwu said with some concern.

"Hmph, you asked that person to run away last time. Although the other party is probably a detailed work of the Tang Dynasty, with the sinister intentions of the Tang Dynasty, they may leak our plan to the king. This can be seen from the performance of the civil officials during this period. Therefore, even if we don't want to start, do you think those civil officials will take the overall situation into consideration like us?" Yuan Gai Suwen snorted coldly and glared at Yuan Jingwu and scolded. Last time Yuan Jingwu asked the miniature work to run away. If he hadn't been for his own brother, he would have been cut by himself.

"Brother said it right. Now both of us are on the strings and we cannot tolerate any retreat. I believe this situation was deliberately created by the Tang Dynasty. Whether we want to or not, we will have to go through a life-and-death battle in the end." Yuan Jingtu also smiled bitterly on his white face. The Tang Dynasty has transformed the conspiracy into an open conspiracy. Therefore, no matter how they choose, a civil strife in Goguryeo is definitely inevitable.

What my second brother Yuan Pure Land could think of, Yuan Gaisuwen had already thought of, and he had been thinking about this problem for a few days, and finally he finally thought of a solution. However, this method was extremely risky, and he had been hesitating whether to use it. But now it seems that this may be the only way out for their Yuan family and Goguryeo.

Thinking of this, Yuan Gai Su Wen stood up with a loud voice, turned around and said to Yuan Putu: "Second brother, you can summon all generals immediately. The plan cannot be implemented until the Chinese New Year. It is September now, and it must be implemented at the end of this month at the latest!"

"Brother, this is too hasty, we don't have time to prepare!" Yuan Jingtu and Yuan Jingwu were both shocked when they heard this. If they were not prepared, it would probably cause greater unrest in the country. Moreover, according to Brother's guess, the Tang army abroad had already been prepared. Isn't this avenue to seek death?

"There is no need to prepare before we have time. With the troops we have, are you afraid that they will turn to heaven?" Yuan Gaisuwen said sternly, with a sense of determination on his face.

Yuan Jingtu and Yuan Jingwu were very clear about their elder brother's temper. When they saw the expression on his face, they knew that the elder brother had made up his mind and no one could change his ideas. However, this fact was too important, not only related to the fate of their own country, but also to the fate of their Yuan family. They were not careless at all, so they had to ask clearly no matter what.

Thinking of this, the two looked at each other, and walked forward with a solemn expression and knelt down and said, "Brother, you are the head of the family. The decision you made is naturally not to be questioned. But I am just dull and don't understand the intention of my brother's move. Please help me solve my doubts!"

Seeing the performance of the two younger brothers, Yuan Gai Suwen, who had always been arbitrary, was angry. He was about to lose his temper and they scolded him, but then he thought that they were also thinking about Yuan's sake, and the anger was relieved a little. After a while, he said calmly: "You all get up!"

Yuan Jingtu and the others were ready to be scolded. Unexpectedly, what they were waiting for was the elder brother's calm words. They were confused in their hearts. They stood up uneasy and looked at Yuan Gaisuwen's face. They found that although his face was gloomy, there was no sign of getting angry. Then they felt relieved.

"Do you know what advantages I have in Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty?" Yuan Gaisuwen asked in a deep voice.

When they heard the elder brother’s question, Yuan Jingtu and the others looked at each other, wondering why he suddenly asked this question?

"Hmph! The factors that affect the outcome of a war are nothing more than the three aspects of time, place, and people. Needless to say, Goguryeo has lost in this regard, but our country is full of mountains and the city building technology is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, but most cities are built in extremely dangerous places. It is not so easy for the Tang army to conquer, so we have won this area of ​​land."

Hearing Yuan Gaisuwen's words, the two brothers Yuan Putu nodded repeatedly. They didn't know about these things, but they just were in a hurry and didn't expect it for a moment.

"Although the right place and people are important, I think the most important thing is the time, especially for our Goguryeo." Yuan Gai Suwen finally said the most critical point he thought of, and a look of excitement appeared on her face. "Liaodong is bitter and cold, and the temperature in winter is extremely low. Most of the Tang army are children of Guanzhong. Although the winter in Guanzhong is cold, it is still much worse than that in my Liaodong. This year's winter came very early. It's still September, but the leaves have fallen off. Therefore, I concluded that this year's winter is colder than in previous years."

"Ah! I understand. It turns out that my elder brother wanted to borrow the cold of Liaodong to make the Tang Dynasty return home in vain." Both Yuan Pure Land were smart people, and when they heard this, they immediately understood what my elder brother meant.

"Yes, if we launch at the end of the month, we will probably be able to calm the domestic unrest within one month. If the Tang army wants to take the opportunity to attack our country, we will definitely choose to send troops within this month. At that time, we just need to take advantage of the weather and place to persevere for two months. At that time, the Tang army's spirit has been exhausted, and it is the coldest time of the whole winter. In addition, as the Chinese New Year approaches, the soldiers will definitely have no intention of fighting. At that time, as long as we launch a strike and win a few victories, it will not only hit the morale of the other party, but also make the Tang army withdraw. After all, no matter how strong the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is, it will definitely not withstand such consumption!"

Yuan Gaisuwen's analysis is reasonable, and he divided the war into two stages. The front is persistence and the back is counterattack, making reasonable use of the time and place. If nothing unexpected happens, it can be said that there is a great chance of victory. At least in the eyes of the two brothers Yuan Pure Land.

"Brother is unparalleled in strategy, I admire him!" Yuan Jingtu and the others bowed to the ground, convinced their elder brother.

"Since I understand my intention, hurry up and do my business. There is not much time now, so I can prepare more!" Yuan Gai Suwen didn't care about the compliments of his two younger brothers, but immediately ordered.

Yuan Jingtu and the other two agreed, turned around and left Yuan Mansion, and contacted the generals who supported them overnight. After seeing their two younger brothers leave, Yuan Gaisuwen sighed slightly and said in a slight voice: "I hope God bless my Yuan family, and I can really hold on for two months!"

While the Yuan clan was stepping up preparations, Rongliu King also received some news and began to prepare for self-defense. A bloody storm slowly opened the curtain in this bleak autumn wind in Pyongyang City. (To be continued)
