On April 17th, the clouds are coming.

Yelu Tielli, who was responsible for the complicated and misunderstanding of Sichuan's eastern border, urgently reported to Li Fengyun and arrested a special envoy of Goguryeo. Because it was related to Pyongyang's secrets, he rushed to the commando camp for interrogation.

The interrogation soon came to an end. Yuan An and Xiao Yi, who were in charge of the interrogation, told Li Fengyun that Pyongyang was willing to exchange Fuyu's old land for the support of Sumo-Mi.

This is an important message. Li Fengyun immediately summoned Tieli, the chief of Sumo tribe, to inform the whole story in detail.

"What do you think about this?"

"Pyongyang has been fighting with our Mart for more than a hundred years for the old land of Fuyu, how could he give it away?" Tie Li sneered and said disdainfully, "If even a child with a slut can deceive me, how could I be fooled?"

Li Fengyun smiled slightly and asked in a pun, "What's the matter?"

Tieli smiled and said, "I once told Ming Gong that Pyongyang still has high hopes for my marsh, so as long as Ming Gong trusts me and gives me support, I will be sure to create opportunities for Ming Gong to capture Pyongyang."

"Have high hopes?" Li Fengyun said disapprovingly, "Will Pyongyang still have fantasies about you, the situation has developed to this point today? Will Pyongyang still have illusions about you, the people of Mars? They will also think that you, Mars, are willing to be righteous and will live and die with Goguryeo? This is simply impossible. The reason why Pyongyang sent special envoys to exchange Fuyu for the support of your Mars, is to act as a slow-moving plan. It would rather you watch the fire across the river than to put down a detriment, turn against you, and give them a fatal blow from behind. In other words, Pyongyang had already expected that you Mars, and would rob them by robbing the fire, so he was highly alert and would not allow you Mars, to cross the Yalu River to the east."

Tieli's smile was stiff and his expression was gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

"I urgently summoned Mofu here to tell Mofu that the counter-espionage plan you had made before was no longer possible, and even it is impossible for you, the people of the Marines to cross the Yalu River to the east."

Tieli's face was ugly, his eyes were free, and he could not understand Li Fengyun's true intentions.

The intentions of the Marines were very straightforward. Goguryeo was no longer able to do it. Under the continuous attacks of Middle-earth, they were in danger and destruction. They originally wanted to watch the fire from the other side of the river to benefit, but now the Middle-earth army killed Huifachuan. Then they came to the Marines. The Marines naturally knew that the current affairs were heroes, surrendered and surrendered to Middle-earth, and then followed the Middle-earth army to attack Pyongyang and destroy Goguryeo. In this way, they could get a share of the pie without any effort. Why not do it?

Therefore, Tie Li was still very sincere in proposing a counter-espionage plan, but he seriously underestimated Pyongyang's judgment of the situation, and ended up wishful thinking.

"What countermeasures does Ming Gong have?" Tieli asked bluntly, "If it is useful to me, please speak out."

"Soldiers are very important." Li Fengyun said without hesitation, "The news of the sudden change in Huifa Sichuan cannot be continuously blocked. It may be leaked to domestic cities hundreds of miles away at any time. The domestic cities are the biggest obstacle for us to cross the Yalu River to the east. We must take it down as quickly as possible, and then advance to attack and retreat or defend. We must firmly control the initiative. The main army can cross the Yalu River to the east at any time and kill Pyongyang."

Tieli knew that Li Fengyun wanted the Martin to charge in the battle as soon as he heard it. However, Li Fengyun's reason made him unable to refuse. Even for the Martin himself, if he wanted to seize the initiative in today's situation, he would still have to take over the domestic city as soon as possible. Once it was delayed, the news of the Huifa Sichuan dramatic change spread to the domestic city. The domestic city held on the city while reporting urgently to Pyongyang, which would inevitably have a serious or even bad impact on the subsequent battle situation.

Tieli made a little weighing and made a decisive decision, "Our tribes of Martyr are willing to follow Ming Gong to fight bravely."

Li Fengyun nodded and praised, "The army will advance east tomorrow, and we must not delay it."

On April 18th, under the city of Liaodong, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition.

Yuwen Shu, the general of the Zuoyi Guard, received an urgent report from Cui Hongsheng, the general of the Zuowu Guard, who was in charge of the election army. On the way to the east, he encountered a Goguryeo peace envoy, and spoke rudely, humiliated the lord of Zhongtu and the Holy Lord, so he angrily killed him and quickly presented his head to the commander.

Yuwen Shu was furious. Cui Hongsheng angrily killed Goguryeo envoys, and it was true that he could hinder peace talks and coerce the commander's attack speed. Yuwen Shu did not want to be coerced, and the commander's headquarters in the Eastern Expedition could not be held hostage by the military's war faction, so he was very angry.

But facing the facts in front of him, Yuwen Shu was also helpless. The Holy Lord was not on the front line and the center was out of reach. He could not control the prestige of the two commanders and commanders, Yuwen Shu and Guo Rong alone? Jing, Xue Shixiong and Cui Hongsheng and other senior officers in the army. Therefore, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is already very great that Yuwen Shu can maintain a unity situation. As for making the generals under the tent be loyal to him and obey his words, it is purely a luxury.

Now Cui Hongsheng ignores the authority of the commander-in-chief and Yuwen Shu, and kills Goguryeo peace envoy without authorization. This is a fait accompli. This move not only openly coerces and kidnaps the commander-in-chief, but also openly slaps Yuwen Shu in the face. It is arrogant and aggressive, but this move is deeply in line with the morale of the military and boosts morale. If Yuwen Shu and the commander-in-chief respond improperly, the consequences will be serious and the good situation may be ruined.

In the tent, Yu Wen Shu's face was gloomy and his eyes were cold; Guo Rong's expressionless face was not spoken; Li Jing and Xue Shixiong looked solemn, but the excitement was hard to hide in his eyes.

Yesterday, the military controversy said that although Li Jing and Xue Shixiong lobbled hard and Guo Rong also voted an important vote. The willingness to fight had already formed an overwhelming advantage in the commander-in-chief, Yuwen Shu was forced to political pressure exerted by the Saint Lord and the Central Committee, coupled with the psychological shadow caused by the defeats in the first two Eastern Expeditions, which led to him looking forward, worrying about gains and losses, being passive and conservative, and worried that a series of serious consequences would occur when advancing to the front line of Yalu Water, such as the Holy Lord and the Central Committee might cause political misjudgment, such as the main war faction in the army might seize the opportunity to cross the Yalu Water and kill Pyongyang, for example, the war situation suddenly reversed due to the difficulties in supplying food and supplies, etc., which eventually made Yuwen Shu unable to make a decision to attack for a long time, and has not yet made a decision to accelerate the attack.

However, now Cui Hongsheng cut off the Goguryeo peace consortium with one knife, and the situation suddenly changed drastically, directly forcing Yuwen Shu to a "dead corner" and there was no choice.

For Goguryeo, Zhongtu cut off its path of peace talks and could only fight to the death. For Zhongtu, the commander of the Eastern Expedition cut off the path of peace talks and forced the Holy Lord and the Central Committee to satisfy the military's wishes, and could only fight to the death. In this way, the third Eastern Expedition deviated from the main purpose of winning the greatest battle at the minimum price. Once the Eastern Expedition army suffered too much losses, it directly affected the result of the upcoming war between the North and South, which would inevitably cause fatal damage to the overall layout of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. As the commander of the Eastern Expedition Army, Yuwen Shu would not redeem his sins.

Guo Rong took the lead in breaking the silence, "Where is the purpose of Mr. Huang Tai killing the special envoy of Gogurye?"

Yuwen Shu had no choice but to compromise, and could only accept reality and make decisions that quickly advance to the front line of Yalu Water. He could only bear all the political risks arising from this. However, this political risk was not borne by Yuwen Shu alone, but the entire Eastern Expedition Command had to bear. So what we need to discuss now is not attacking decision-making issues, but how to minimize political risks and how to cure Cui Hongsheng's "wrong" afterwards.

With Cui Hongsheng's prominent identity and status, his every move is full of profound meaning. If he did not impress his political interests enough, he would never be able to take the risk of becoming an enemy of Yuwen Shu, dragging the entire commander of the Eastern Expedition into the water, openly provoking the Holy Lord and the central authority, and killing the Goguryeo peace convoy. Therefore, Cui Hongsheng must have a purpose, but Guo Rong was unable to determine what the purpose was and could not guess thoroughly.

No one answered, and there was silence.

In fact, Yuwen Shu, Guo Rong, Li Jing and Xue Shixiong have similar guesses on this issue. They all know that Cui Hongsheng's move must be directly related to the Andong forces headed by Pei Shiju, Li Hun and Li Pingyuan, which leads to two important questions. First, the cooperation between the King of Qi, Cui Hongsheng, Pei Shiju, Li Hun and Li Pingyuan will have an impact on the confrontation between the two capitals and the political pattern of Guanlong, Shandong and Jiangzuo? The wealthy families in Jibei, led by Cui Hongsheng and Boling, and the wealthy families in Youyan, worked closely with the political forces headed by Pei Shiju and Hedong, and with the political forces headed by Li Hun and the Li family in Longxi. Will they join forces to launch a new round of imperial unity? Does this cooperation between Shandong and Guanlong people mean that the political pattern of confrontation between the two capitals and the three major political groups will undergo major or even subversive changes?

This question is not what Yuwen Shu and the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition need to consider. What they need to consider is the second question. Does Cui Hongsheng use such radical means to force the Eastern Expedition army to attack Yalu River mean that the Anton Army is indeed going to take the intermittent route to attack Pyongyang? Is there indeed a hundred thousand Anton Army on the way to attack Pyongyang?

If the answer is yes, Cui Hongsheng's radical move can be reasonably explained, because the Anton Army not only needs support, support and cooperation, but also requires a large amount of food and supplies. Otherwise, the Anton Army will be the way to die when it attacks Pyongyang for a long distance. If it is not careful, the entire army will be wiped out and will repeat the mistake of Sashui defeat. This consequence is not only the Holy Lord, the Central Command and the Eastern Expedition Command cannot afford it, but also the Middle Earth, which is deeply trapped in internal and external troubles.

No one answered is actually the answer. Even if the ideas of the four generals vary greatly, things have happened and political risks have already existed. Even if the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition was unwilling to do so, he had to wipe Cui Hongsheng's butt and make the aftermath. Otherwise, once the risk evolves into a crisis, everyone will be affected and no one will escape.

"What is Huang Taigong's goal?" Guo Rong pondered for a long time and asked again, "Is it a soldier who threatens Pyongyang, or crosses the Yalu River and kills Pyongyang?"

Cui Hongsheng's goal is obviously not to face Yalu River, nor to passively and passively restrain Goguryeo's army, but to cross Yalu River, to pose a substantial threat to Pyongyang, and even force the Goguryeo army to retreat to Pyongyang on its entire line. In this way, its own army can meet with the Anton Army at the city of Pyongyang, and more than 200,000 Middle-earth soldiers successfully surrounded Pyongyang before the rainy season and had sufficient time to siege.

However, this battle is not suspenseless. On the contrary, the risks are even greater. If more than 200,000 Middle-earth soldiers do not have the support of continuous food and supplies, the final result will not be optimistic, and they may even repeat the mistake of Sashui defeat.

Yuwen Shu was so angry that he stroked his long gray beard with his hands, and shook his head helplessly.

"Tomorrow, please ask Pucheng Gong and Wuyin Gong to lead the army to advance eastward quickly, surround Wugu City, and the troops are facing Yalu Water."

Guo Rong and Xue Shixiong bowed to accept the order.

"Please quickly open the grain route from Liaodong City to the west bank of Yalu Water, and ensure that the grain and supplies can be safely transported to the west bank of Yalu Water in the shortest time."

Li Jing bowed to the promise.

"Whether the army has crossed the Yalu River and when will it cross the Yalu River? The prerequisite is that the food, supplies and supplies must be strongly guaranteed." Yuwen Shu looked at Guo Rong, Xue Shixiong and Li Jing, and solemnly instructed, "This is a bloody lesson, a lesson obtained by the lives of 200,000 soldiers. We must not forget it, so as not to repeat the same mistake."

The three of them agreed at once. This is Yuwen Shu's bottom line. He can bear the political risks, and he can also deal with Cui Hongsheng's affairs, but failure is not allowed in military terms. He cannot attack Pyongyang without the conditions, and he cannot use the lives of his soldiers to gamble.

Guo Rong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Xu, if the sage comes to the east..."

The Holy Lord came to the east, and the Holy Lord arrived at the front line, and the commander lost power. Cui Hongsheng and a large number of main combat generals were very likely to take more intense measures. Such a battle situation would inevitably be out of control and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yuwen Shu sighed, as if he wanted to exude all the depression in his heart, "There are many obstacles on the expedition. Even if the Holy Lord wants to fight in person, it may be difficult for him to do what he wants."
