Chapter 3944: The Japanese country came to Baekjes rescue
An imperceptible look flashed across Gao Yunyan's face, and it disappeared in a flash. She saluted Liu Yu, turned around and retreated, until her footsteps and the sound of Ding Wu's heavy armor blades colliding disappeared together.
When they were far away, Liu Yucai breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Liu Muzhi, who had a frown on his face: "Fat man, what do you think?"
Hu Daoan curled up his lips and said: "General Liu, you can discuss state affairs. I will also avoid it for now."
Liu Yu shook his head: "Mrs. Hu, you may need to avoid other matters, but this matter concerns Goguryeo and is related to your Helan tribe, so I want to hear your opinion."
Hu Daoan said calmly: "Since I have changed my name, I am no longer Helanmin of the Helan tribe. This matter has nothing to do with the Helan tribe. Besides, the Helan tribe has been destroyed, and this name no longer exists on the grassland.
Now, the remaining tribesmen led by my eldest brother are already citizens of the Jin Kingdom. I don’t think I can be of much help to General Liu."
Liu Yu said calmly: "Whether the Helan tribe still exists or not, at least you are well aware of the situation in Goguryeo. Moreover, when you were in the Northern Wei Dynasty, you tried to contact Wu Ji and the Goguryeo countries to offer you a helping hand."
Alan told me about his internal experience in seizing power in the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Hu Daoan sighed: "General Liu, you should know that I am an ominous woman. No matter where I am, I will bring ruin to the country and the family. After so many things, I have lost sight of love and hatred, and my heart is filled with sorrow.
I have also let go of my obsession. I am very grateful to Princess Lan for finally suggesting to you to save my life. I will raise Xiao Yizhen well. Princess Dai Lan will continue to cultivate him as an adult. I don’t want to get involved in other things.
.”
Liu Yu sighed: "Then I just want to ask you one question, is Goguryeo trustworthy, and can Gao Yunyan's promise of providing five thousand war horses every year be fulfilled?"
Hu Daoan raised his eyebrows: "What she said just now is that a large number of war horses are obtained through trade or tribute every year. She is indeed not bragging. Not only the Wuji people and the grassland tribes, but also our Helan tribe, there are also many like them.
The war horse trade is because Goguryeo is not only mountainous but also has a large amount of iron ore. We grassland people have many war horses but lack iron tools, so we can form a complementary relationship with Goguryeo."
"It is precisely because of the large number of war horses that Goguryeo was able to form cavalry and chariot corps and gain advantages in the war against Baekje and Silla. However, Baekje and Silla, including the Kayak tribes in the south, also
Under the coercion of Goguryeo, they formed an alliance to fight against Goguryeo. Over the years, the two sides have been in a stalemate, and it is difficult for anyone to make further progress. This is also the fundamental reason why Goguryeo wants to win over Jin and send troops."
Liu Yu nodded: "Understood, thank you Madam Hu, you can leave now. As for the epidemic, please go and see if there is any way to solve it."
Hu Daoan frowned, as if he had something to say, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he shook his head, saluted Liu Yu, turned around and left.
Liu Muzhi sighed softly: "After all, the Helan tribe had a big feud with Goguryeo in the past. Jinu, you shouldn't force her to express her position."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "She still doesn't regard herself as one of us. She still feels insecure. Probably because she has stayed under Heipao for a long time. She is afraid that if she says the wrong thing, she will lose her life. That's all. I will try again if I have the opportunity in the future.
Talk to her slowly. Fatty, what do you think of this proposal from the Goguryeo princess?"
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Actually, the proposal of reinforcements was not only mentioned by Goguryeo, but also by Baekje two years ago. At that time, Baekje also gave similar conditions, but the condition was that the leader
The former two counties of Fang and Lelang will be returned to the Jin Dynasty, but there is no such condition for the annual war horses."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Probably such vassal states have never stopped asking for mediation or sending troops to the Jin Dynasty, so you have never reported this to me."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, the Jin Dynasty has hundreds of tributary states, all over the world, and there are many conquests between each other, and no one can help anyone. Therefore, since ancient times, according to the principle of distance among the five servers
, these foreign lands were attacked by barbarians, but our Jin Dynasty tried to persuade peace but did not send troops. Moreover, Baekje sent hostages to Goguryeo to submit and surrender, and at the same time asked Japan and Jin for help. There was no sincerity at all.
So, we rejected them directly at that time.”
Liu Yu frowned: "But the Japanese country sent troops to help Baekje? Could it be that they relied on their strength to block Goguryeo?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "That's not true. The Japanese country is also called the Yamatai Kingdom. It is located on a sea thousands of miles southeast of Goguryeo. Its people are short and capable, ferocious and warlike, and because of the lack of resources in the country, especially
Lacking iron tools, they have been coveting the iron mines on the peninsula. After being invited by Baekje to send troops, they immediately sent troops to cross the sea. The Japanese king personally led the troops, led 50,000 Japanese troops, and landed in the area between Baekje and Silla.
Kayak tribe area.”
Liu Yu murmured: "Gaya tribe area?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "South of the Han River, the ancestors of the peninsula were almost three major tribes, called Mahan, Bianhan and Chenhan. They were different from the people in the north of the peninsula, even starting from Jizi Korea.
, there are also different roads between the north and the south. These primitive tribes in the south are far more backward than those in the north."
"In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Yan general Weiman fled to Korea with 2,000 troops and horses, and defeated the last king of Jizi Korea. The last king of Jizi Dynasty fled to the south and survived in the Sanhan tribe area, but later Jumong established Goguryeo
Later, his concubine Wen Zuo moved his family to the south, destroyed the remaining forces of Jizi Korea, annexed the tribes of Mahan, and established Baekje."
"At the same time, the Chenhan tribes in the southeast of the peninsula also formed a country, which is Silla. As for the Benhan tribe sandwiched between Baekje and Silla, they gradually formed a tribal alliance called Gaya.
The alliance is almost like a khanate on the grassland, and cannot be called a country."
"After the Japanese army landed in the Kayak Kingdom, they first attacked Silla in the east with the Baekje Army and won the victory. After that, it was easy to ask the gods to send them away, but it was difficult to send them away. The Japanese simply set up a colonial agency in the Kayak Kingdom, called
There are five thousand troops stationed in the Imna Governor's Mansion. It is used as a bridgehead for troops to invade the peninsula. It is also used as a transit port for the iron trade to the peninsula. Baekje relies on the power of the Japanese to defeat Goguryeo's attacks many times. Gao Yunyan wants us to send hundreds of troops.
In fact, the main reason is that we hope that we will fight against the Japanese and completely eliminate Baekje’s foreign aid. Only in this way will they be sure to destroy Baekje!”
