Snap!
Liu Bei's fist hit the table hard and he cursed angrily: "Gao Yanyou, this thief, dares to privately ask for surrender from Yan thief, and also wants to kill me, it's really hateful!"
The generals such as Xian Yufu and others were also angry and cursed Gao Yanyou for his betrayal and surrender to Yan Liang's hegemony.
In the midst of anger, Tian Yu said calmly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I believe that Gao Yanyou's attempt to harm Your Majesty is probably Yan Liang's plan to alienate you."
"A plan to divorce?" Liu Bei was shaken. After his anger subsided, he calmed down a lot.
"Yes, it's a divorce plan." Tian Yu continued: "The Gaoju Kingdom is far away from the Central Plains. After all, Gao Yanyou and Yan Liang have no deep hatred. Now that Yan Liang has destroyed the two Xianbei tribes, Gao Yanyou is afraid of the power of the Chu Kingdom and wants to
Paying tribute and being a vassal is also a reasonable thing.
"Gao Yanyou is afraid of power, so it's fine if he betrays me, but he wants to kill me, so what can I say?" Liu Bei said in a deep voice.
Tian Yu continued: "Your Majesty has 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers. Gao Yanyou should know very well that if he wants to harm Your Majesty, he will have to start a war and end up with both sides losing. At that time, Chu State happened to take advantage of it.
Gao Yanyou is not that stupid, and he would not be stupid enough to cause trouble for himself, so I think this must be the momentum created by the Chu State to drive a wedge between Your Majesty and Gao Yanyou."
Tian Yu's words made Liu Bei's anger disappear. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case.
After waking up, Liu Bei struck the case again, gritted his teeth and cursed: "The Yan thief is still so insidious, his strategy is really vicious."
The ministers all turned around and began to scold Yan Liang viciously.
Amidst the curses, Sun Qian said: "Although Gao Yanyou dare not take action with us openly, as long as he cuts off our supply of food and grass, in less than a month, tens of thousands of my troops will be destroyed. At that time, Gao Yanyou
I'm afraid I can do it without wasting any effort..."
Sun Qian did not say any more, but the meaning behind his words was already clear.
As soon as the food and grass were cut off, the Han army collapsed. Gao Yanyou could easily kill Liu Bei and sacrifice his head to Yan Liang without having to fight.
Liu Bei's body trembled violently, and a trace of fear came into his heart. He said anxiously: "What Gongyou said is absolutely true. I treat Gao Yanyou with sincerity and justice. But I can't guarantee that Gao Yanyou has evil intentions. I can't just sit back and wait for death."
"
There was a hint of cold killing intent in Liu Bei's words.
All the ministers felt the coldness, and Xian Yufu suddenly shouted: "Let's not do anything at all, and we will not stop and rush into Wandu City. We will kill Gao Yanyou and annex Goguryeo."
Everyone was shocked and shocked by Xian Yufu's loud tone.
Liu Bei also frowned and seemed to be moved.
"General Xianyu's suggestion may not be unfeasible. Liangkou is very close to Wandu. If we suddenly launch a sudden attack, we are very sure that we can capture Wandu in one fell swoop." Tian Yu also agreed.
Even Tian Yu agreed. Liu Bei's spirit suddenly lifted and he showed great interest.
At this time, Tian Yu said again: "However, Your Majesty has not been in Goguryeo for a long time, and the hearts of the people are not attached to it. If you kill Gao Yanyou, I am afraid that the Goguryeo people may not be willing to join you, but will arouse their anger and boycott Your Majesty.
If the Chu army takes advantage of the situation to attack at that time, it will be disadvantageous for us."
"Although we can't kill him, we can capture Gao Yanyou alive and use him as a puppet to rule the army and people of Goguryeo." Sun Qian suggested.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Bei said: "This is a good plan, let's do it like this."
It can be seen that Liu Beisheng was afraid that he would be in danger again, and he was impatient to take action first.
"Your Majesty, Gao Yanyou has been kind to us before. Although rumors are spreading now, he has not done anything to us after all. If we take action first, I am afraid that the world will accuse us of being ungrateful." Chen Dao stood up and said. be opposed to.
Liu Bei frowned and said coldly: "Do you understand the principle of preemptive strike? When Gao Yanyou wants to harm me, it will be too late for me to take action. What's more, Gao Yanyou and I have a mutually beneficial relationship. , Where does the kindness come from? In order to revive the great cause of the Han Dynasty, what’s wrong with me taking action first?”
Liu Bei's words were generous and arrogant, as if it were natural. Now he has long torn off the mask of benevolence and righteousness. He puts profit first in everything, and he doesn't care about the reputation of benevolence and righteousness.
After being scolded, Chen Dao felt a little depressed and sadly stepped aside without saying a word.
Liu Beiteng stood up and said coldly: "The traitor Yan wants to kill me, how can I do it? You must make preparations quickly. I will send troops to raid Wandu soon and completely incorporate the Kingdom of Goguryeo into my territory." Under control."
All the ministers were horrified. Even if some were still doubtful, seeing Liu Bei's determination, they did not dare to object.
All the ministers were very sensible and generously expressed their willingness to serve Liu Bei to the death.
…
Thousands of miles away, Ye Jing.
"Your Majesty, the 50,000-strong army led by General Huang has entered Yuyang County in the name of changing defenses in Yinzhou." In the imperial study, Pang Tong reported the military situation to Yan Liang.
Yan Liang nodded slightly: "Where is that boy from Gaoshang Palace? How is his mood now?"
Pang Tong smiled and said: "In recent months, the secret envoys of the Goguryeo Kingdom have frequently come in and out of the embassy. I estimate that there is still hesitation within the Goguryeo Kingdom about killing Liu Bei."
"Just hesitate." Yan Liang sneered, "The more Gao Yanyou hesitates, the more trouble Liu Bei will have. I guess this wolf in skin will cause some trouble sooner or later."
Pang Tong chuckled. Although he said nothing, he understood Yan Liang's intentions.
Liu Bei felt threatened, and with his character, he would never sit still and wait for death, but would definitely rise up to resist.
If this is the case, chaos will inevitably break out in Goguryeo. In this case, wouldn't it be an opportunity for Chu to take advantage of?
The reason why Yan Liang has not killed Gao Shanggong until now is for this purpose.
While the monarch and his ministers were talking, the eunuch from outside came to report that it was Ma Su, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, who asked to see him for something urgent.
"Xuan Youchang, please come in." Yan Liang waved his hand.
After a while, Ma Su walked in, knelt down and bowed, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, good news, good news about the state of Goguryeo has arrived."
"Hmm." Yan Liang's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said with a faint smile: "Seeing that you are so excited, could it be that Liu Bei's guy attacked Gao Yanyou?"
"It turns out that His Majesty had expected this!" Ma Di looked surprised.
As expected, Yan Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across their eyes.
"How Liu Bei dealt with Gao Yanyou, please tell me the specific situation." Yan Liang said calmly.
Ma Su recovered from his surprise and reported to Yan Liang everything that Jin Yiwei had discovered in Goguryeo.
It turned out that just half a month ago, Liu Bei requested to pass south of Wandu to Binhai on the grounds that he was going to the seaside and defecting to Zhang Fei in Yingzhou.
Gao Yanyou was worried about how to deal with Liu Bei. Now Liu Bei took the initiative to leave Goguryeo. Naturally, Gao Yanyou wanted him, the god of plague, to get out of the way quickly, so he agreed to Liu Bei's request without any precautions.
Liu Bei led tens of thousands of troops and left Liangkou City in a swaggering manner. He passed through the border more than 20 miles south of Wandu. Halfway through, he suddenly led his army to attack Wandu.
Although there were more than 10,000 soldiers in Wandu, the Goguryeo people did not want Liu Bei to break his promise, so they suddenly turned back and attacked Liu Bei unprepared, allowing Liu Bei to easily break through the capital.
Gao Yanyou was unable to escape, so he was captured by Liu Bei and became Liu Bei's puppet.
"Now Liu Bei treats Gao Yanyou just like Cao Cao treated Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. He treats him as a puppet and uses him to issue orders to Goguryeo and beyond. Liu Bei seems to have controlled the entire Goguryeo kingdom."
Ma Su reported the situation of the entire Goguryeo Kingdom in detail.
After hearing this, Pang Tong sighed: "This Liu Bei is really doing whatever it takes to survive now."
"Hmph, Liu Bei, no matter who you stay with, you will be in trouble. Gao Yanyou is stupid and deserves to have his power stolen by Liu Bei." Yan Liang sneered with disdain, not having any sympathy for Gao Yanyou's situation.
At this time, Ma Su said again: "Although Liu Bei used Gao Yanyou and subdued the Goguryeo people on the surface, secretly the Goguryeo people were very jealous of Liu Bei. I believe that the current instability in Goguryeo's internal people is the reason why our army is conquering
Good time.”
Yan Liang nodded slightly, stood up excitedly, and said boldly: "The civil strife in Goguryeo has broken out. It is the opportunity to send out troops to conquer. With my decree, the armies will immediately advance to the Goguryeo Kingdom of Goguryeo according to the original plan."
Yan Liang's decree was quickly conveyed, and the armies gathered in Yecheng, which had been preparing for war for a long time, immediately entered a state of war.
Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Li Yan, Zhu Huan and other generals each left the capital with tens of thousands of troops and marched toward Youzhou in a mighty manner.
Huang Zhong's 50,000-strong army located in Youzhou marched to Liaodong in advance to join Lü Meng's Liaodong Army.
In this attack on Goguryeo, Yan Liang will use more than 300,000 troops, including the Liaodong Army, and will not stop until Goguryeo is wiped out and Liu Bei is slaughtered.
More than 200,000 front troops will march forward first. After Yan Liang has deployed the remaining troops, he will also lead 100,000 central troops to march personally.
Although the decree to start war was issued, Yan Liang, under Pang Tong's suggestion, decided to start the war this time not to destroy Goguryeo but to conquer Liu Bei.
There was civil strife in Goguryeo, and everyone was angry at Liu Bei but dared not speak out. Da Chu raised his army and raised troops in the name of getting rid of Liu Bei, the traitor, which would inevitably weaken the will of the Goguryeo people to resist.
If you can defeat the enemy without fighting, that is the best strategy.
Yan Liang adopted Pang Tong's strategy and raised an army in the name of killing Liu Bei. Before Yu Jia got up, he also summoned Gao Shanggong.
Although Gao Shanggong was Gao Yanyou's fourth son, Wandu was controlled by Liu Bei. Gao Yanyou and his disciples became Liu Bei's puppets, so Gao Shanggong became the only surviving Goguryeo prince.
When Gao Shanggong heard about the events in the country and that his father and brother were imprisoned, he was naturally frightened and confused, and he was so panicked that he didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Yan Liang's edict was received, and Gao Shanggong had no choice but to come to see Yan Liang with trepidation.
As soon as they met, Yan Liang sneered and said: "Gao Shang Gong, I have said before that Liu Bei is a treacherous and vicious person. I asked you and your son to kill him as soon as possible, but you hesitated and refused to listen. Now, you have finally reaped the consequences."
