Chapter 455 Goguryeo overestimates its capabilities
Soon his men sent the battle report to Jin Wang, and at this time Jin Wang was extremely happy looking at the battle report.
"Okay, very good! Everyone, please take a look. This is the battle report sent by General Fuldo in my hand. They defeated the Wei army on the front line."
"The Wei army was led into the valley. The Wei army suffered heavy casualties. We did not lose a single soldier. Now we have forced the Wei army back into Wei's territory. What should we do now?
If you have any suggestions, please feel free to tell me.”
Jin Wang was very happy to see this battle report at this time, and he started to show off to his officials.
Moreover, I also want to see if some of their officials have any better suggestions to help him make decisions.
"Your Majesty, I think we should seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and hit the Wei State directly to let him know that although our territory is small, Goguryeo will never be a vassal state of his Wei State."
"Let him admit that we, Goguryeo, can be equal to them, and we will never pay annual tribute again."
At this time, an official from Goguryeo expressed his opinion. Of course, he was from the main war faction.
He wanted Goguryeo's army to directly attack Wei's territory and then directly inflict pain on Wei.
"My lord, I don't think it's appropriate. Although Wei State only sent 200,000 troops to fight with us this time, Wei State's national strength is strong and the quality of its soldiers is much higher than the quality of our soldiers."
"So we will never be our opponents if we continue to fight like this. Now we should make peace with Wei on the spot to see if our country can continue to maintain the current situation, but reduce the annual tribute to half. This can also gain huge benefits for our country."
After listening to what the minister just said, another minister put forward a different opinion.
He believes that although there is a small victory now, in terms of comprehensive national strength, Goguryeo is definitely not Wei's opponent.
So he suggested that he want to negotiate and make peace with the State of Wei. Goguryeo was still a vassal state of the State of Wei.
But reducing the number of years by half would be very beneficial to Goguryeo.
"I disagree. I think that although our territory of Goguryeo is small, our soldiers are brave and fearless of death. This Wei army is only rumored to be very brave and invincible, but in fact they are all pampered prince soldiers."
"We don't have to worry about it. We sincerely ask the royal lord to allow General Fuldo to lead troops directly into the territory of Wei. If given time, we, Goguryeo, will definitely be able to beat up Wei and force Wei to cede territory and seek peace. By then, we, Goguryeo, will
The wishes of our ancestors to expand their territory will be realized."
There are those who are fighting and those who are fighting. These are all normal things, but no one expected that there would be a leader who could do it.
Jin Wang was on the throne listening to the ministers below, arguing and making suggestions.
It also made him frown, because he never thought that the differences among the officials below him would be so huge, and he felt that their suggestions were not very good.
"Okay, don't argue anymore. Now General Fuldo has a sure chance of victory. The 200,000 troops sent by Wei this time are definitely no match for us, if we continue to attack."
"We will definitely be able to seize more territory from Wei State, and when the time comes, we will definitely be able to force Wei State to cede territory and negotiate peace with Goguryeo."
After hearing what Jin Wang said, the officials below all took a breath.
Because after the official who was responsible for the dream mentioned this incident, some of them began to discuss it privately.
I felt that this official was talking nonsense, but I never expected that their royal lord would actually listen to it.
He even dreamed of seizing more land from Wei and then forcing Wei to cede territory and negotiate peace with Goguryeo.
This kind of thing is simply unbelievable and basically impossible.
As a result, more people came forward to persuade Jin Wang not to think like this, but to just accept it as soon as it was good.
"Okay, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind and I'll do it. There is an old saying in Wei State that goes beyond the limit. Since we have the limit now, why not push the limit further?"
"Since General Fuldo is so brave and can defeat the 200,000 Wei troops, then for me, Goguryeo, we can send more troops to General Fuldo and let him seize more land of Wei. What's the point?
No? Okay! Stop arguing about this matter, let’s all go down.”
So many people were trying to persuade Jin Wang, but Jin Wang didn't listen at all.
Moreover, they even used the extravagant approach as a basis for persuading these officials. At this time, some officials had relatively profound research on the culture of the Central Plains region.
So I knew the intention of pushing the envelope even further, but when I saw this situation I just shook my head.
Because he knew that their own king could no longer persuade him, and anyone who tried to persuade him now would be going against him.
He could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and walked out of the big tent. Naturally, Jin Wang immediately issued an order and sent it to Fuldo.
After the news of Fuldo's defeat of the Wei army reached Jin Wang in the royal capital, Jin Wang was also ecstatic. He did not expect that Fuldo could defeat the Wei army so easily.
"General, the Royal Lord is here with an order. This is a document. Please take a look."
As soon as the order from Jin Wang reached Fuldo, the people below gave the order to Fuldo.
When Fuldo got the order, he opened it and frowned, because he was in charge of the command from the front.
He was well aware of the strength of Wei's army, and the document actually asked him to take more land from Wei.
So that he could have peace talks with the Wei State and ask the Wei State to cede territory and pay compensation. This was really a bit difficult for him.
Because judging from the current situation, if he and Xu Chu fight, it can be said that there will be a victory or defeat for each other, but if Xu Chu can be eaten 100%, it may be really difficult, and Jin Wang’s order
It's so clear.
The expectations for himself were so high, which put him under great psychological pressure, but he had to do this.
Because if he doesn't do this, it may not end well for him.
"Come here, please pass on the order. We will launch an attack at dawn tomorrow. The target is the Chengguan of Wei State."
But no matter what, he still had to do what he had to do, so he was ready to attack again.
But the question is how far he can go, which makes him really unsure.
He really didn't know whether he could do what Jin Wang said in this order.
And the most important thing is that he was able to defeat Xu Chu's side before, all because they ambush there in advance and took advantage of the terrain.
If he were to fight this kind of offensive and defensive battle now, what were his chances of success? This made him very worried.
But no matter what, he is still focused on finding a way to defeat Xu Chu and the others, and then drive them back to the territory of Wei.
He can seize more Wei territory here, and only in this way can he complete the orders given to him by Jin Wang.
