In a mountain city, the two armies were confronting each other. The Silla army occupied most of the mountain city, with a thousand troops in the city alone, while the Zhou army occupied the north gate of the mountain city and several broken houses inside the gate, with only more than a hundred.

Of course, there are more than a hundred Zhou troops outside the city to support them, beware that once the Silla army turns against each other, at least someone can run back to report the news, rather than being taken over by the Silla people.

Zhou Guo and Silla were allies, and they were all fighting against Gao Guoli together, but now they are at a stake, so of course they have some difficulties.

On a dilapidated street in the city, representatives of the two armies were negotiating. The representative of the Zhou army, Lieutenant Li Shimin, stepped on a broken wooden barrel and looked at the generals of Silla with a calm expression, letting the message be transmitted:

"Who has no difficulty these days? But life still has to go on, right?"

"This city was still a stronghold in Goguryeo today. I heard that the army has been attacking several times in recent years and cannot be taken down. Why did the guards surrender now? If they don't offer the city sooner or later, our army will surrender in the future. Could it be..."

When Li Shimin said this, he looked at the Silla general opposite and sneered: "Can you have colluded long ago?"

The general of Silla was in his thirties and refuted after hearing this (through the news): "General Li! How can he say such words randomly..."

Before he could finish his retelling, he was interrupted by Li Shimin: "I am not a general, but a lieutenant and a lieutenant, don't call him randomly."

"...Lieutenant Lie...." The general tried his best to suppress his anger and tried to reason with Li Shimin: "When the general of Goguryeo saw that the situation was hopeless, he naturally chose to surrender. Our army arrived just in time, so it was natural to accept the surrender."

"The other party has surrendered. Why did Lieutenant Lie forcefully attack the city gate and kill surrendered soldiers indiscriminately? If other surrendered soldiers are misunderstood and cause an incident, can Lieutenant Lie bear the responsibility?"

Li Shimin waved his hand when he heard this: "Submit the troops? They did not surrender to our army. What kind of troops would be surrendered? Besides, our general sent a letter of persuasion to surrender before. I think the other party really wanted to surrender, but in a hurry, he recognized the wrong person and mistakenly regarded your army as our army."

Speaking of this, he also came to intimidate the other party: "I was ordered to come here first to surrender, but your army jumped out halfway and took advantage. If such a behavior is caused by any misunderstanding, I wonder if the general can afford it?"

Goguryeo and Silla have been fighting for hundreds of years, how could they regard the Silla army, which is openly under the banner as the Zhou army? The Silla generals understand that this lieutenant of Zhou is making trouble, but they can't just tear each other and drive the other out by force.

Seeing that more than a hundred Zhou soldiers deliberately or unintentionally fiddled with the powerful "thunder in the palm" in their hands, occupying the city gate and not leaving, the general Silla was furious and could only talk to the other party and reason.

The Zhou army's combat power was extremely cruel. More than a hundred people had "Thunder in the Palm" and "Six Lotterys". When they fought in this city, they might suffer a big loss. This is still a trivial matter. Once the opponent's coach used this as an excuse to turn against each other, Silla would still suffer in the end.

This is the gap between national strength and military strength. No one can bear the consequences of intensifying conflicts and breaking the two countries.

However, the Silla army must find ways to occupy as many Goguryeo as possible when the demise of Goguryeo, and to accommodate more surrendered generals, surrendered soldiers and fleeing people.

In other words, when the tiger (Zhou Kingdom) bites the evil wolf (Goguryeo), Silla wants to act according to the opportunity and bite more bites of meat on the evil wolf as much as possible.

Silla wanted to recruit surrender and rebel as much as possible, inciting the Goguryeo army on the border, and surrender to its own side. However, since the war began, the Zhou army often came when the Goguryeo generals were still hesitating.

The Zhou army had powerful siege weapons, so the speed of breaking the city was very fast. Although the Silla side also reduced some Goguryeo city and army, it was a bit pale compared to the "harvest" of the Zhou army.

Today, the defending generals had already surrendered to Silla. As soon as the Silla army entered the city, a Zhou army suddenly jumped out of the north gate and broke through the north gate. Then shamelessly said that they had taken the city and let the Silla army leave the city.

At present, seeing the young Zhou army shamelessly "reasoning" the Silla general was furious, but he had to come to report that the main force of the Zhou army was approaching in the north.

Li Shimin also received a report from his subordinates. He knew that his side had finally delayed the time and the team was about to arrive. So he was full of confidence and looked at the generals of Silla and began to threaten:

"This city, on the day of war, was under the control of Goguryeo. So, this is the established target of our army's attack. Now your army will overtake the matter without saying hello. Have you ever asked about our army's feelings, and have you ever thought about how our army's marshal would feel when he knew about this!"

"Quit out of the city immediately, otherwise, as long as you fight undeclaredly, you will see the truth on the battlefield!"

......

Among the snowy mountains, the Silla army camp and in the tent, the envoy returned from Pyongyang reported the mediation results to the supervisor Kim Yu-sun.

During this period, many Zhou army and Silla army had clashed with each other. The other party either established a village in power to hinder the Silla army's advance, or attacked cities and troops that had surrendered to Silla, and even attacked Goguryeo villages that surrendered to Silla, without any alliance at all.

The generals of the Silla Army were very angry about this, but they did not dare to conflict with the Zhou army. As a result, the other party became more and more arrogant and became more arrogant.

King Silla sent an envoy to Pyongyang to argue and requested the commander of the Zhou army, Wei Wang Yuwen Weining to take charge of his subordinates. Now, the envoy left Pyongyang and returned to the capital, passed by his own army's garrison, and reported the results to the commander and the army supervisor.

The Silla Envoy was to reason, but the commander of the Zhou army said all the fallacies and said some scenes in a long and vague manner. He had no sincerity to resolve the constant conflict between the two armies.

The messenger could not speak out and could only leave sadly.

After hearing the envoy's specific process, Kim Yu-sun could not suppress his anger and slapped the desk with his palm.

He really wanted to scold him "outrageous", but it was useless to curse him here. He was full of anger and had nowhere to vent his case, so he had to shoot a book.

The reason is very simple: the Zhou army is too strong, and Silla's attitude cannot be tough.

The Zhou Kingdom wanted to destroy Goguryeo, and Silla was happy to see it. He also actively cooperated and sent an envoy to ask for help in order to give the other party a justification to tear the contract and start a war against Goguryeo.

During the war, Silla was not idle. In addition to arranging necessary military defense, he tried his best to send elite troops to the north to attack the city of Goguryeo.

However, the Goguryeo cities resisted stubbornly, and the Silla army's siege of cities and land was not fast. On the contrary, the Zhou army's offensive was very fierce, and its purpose was clear from the beginning:

A group of soldiers crossed the sea and first took Fuli City, and then marched east along the Ni River (called Alishui on Goguryeo) on the side of the city. In just a few months, they approached the shore of the East China Sea (this is the East China Sea from the perspective of Silla, that is, the coastal area of ​​the eastern peninsula).

Then, he marched southward and continued to capture the cities near the borders of Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje.

The Zhou army had all kinds of powerful weapons, so they were all in the best way for both field battles and sieges. Jin Yuxin, who was familiar with the books of the Central Plains, felt that it was appropriate to describe the Zhou army's offensive as "out of power".

In contrast, our own attack is obviously much inferior, so the opponent bullies the weak and does not take his ally Silla seriously at all.

Kim Yu-shin, who is on the front line, feels deeply about this, but there is no other way except anger.

Like other noble young men, Kim Yu-sun hopes to serve the country and expand territory for the country. As a young generation carefully cultivated by the king, he became the leader of the noble youth organization "Huarang" at a young age, and led many noble young men to train in the army to strive to be independent as soon as possible.

This time, as the king's trusted military supervisor, he stayed on the front line battlefield for more than half a year. He deeply felt his lack of ability to attack the city and was also shocked by the Zhou army's "unstoppable momentum".

So even though he and his colleagues were very indignant about Zhou Jun's arrogant behavior, they had to admit that the other party was too strong and could not be competed with by one.

If the emperor of Zhou State was unhappy one day and sent troops to attack Silla, could Silla defend itself?

Kim Yu-shin didn't dare to think about this issue, but he could see that the Zhou State was ready at the beginning of its dispatch, and specially divided a group of troops to attack the Nihe River Basin to prevent the army in the southern border of Goguryeo. The people fled south in large numbers and entered Baekje and Silla when the country was about to be destroyed.

Therefore, Zhou State wanted to eat alone from the beginning, and Silla could not have gained as many benefits in this war.

A deep sense of powerlessness arose in his heart. Kim Yu-sun knew that even the generals ahead could not solve this problem, even the king could not solve it.

Facing a tiger, no beast dares to fight it in person.

This feeling of despair and helplessness was very uncomfortable. Kim Yu-sun didn't want to make trouble for himself, so he took back his thoughts. Seeing that the messenger was exhausted, he said with concern: "It's hard for the commissar to rush on the road, so please rest early."

The envoy replied: "With the care of the immortals in the country, it is not hard to go south. After all, taking the train will save a lot of trouble."

"Train? Why did Zhou Jun build the railway south?" Kim Yu-shin was shocked when he heard of it. He had heard of trains and related things, and was very curious about this kind of transportation that traveled thousands of miles a day.

The merchants and envoys in Silla would bring newspapers from the Central Plains back to their country, so the monarchs and ministers of Silla could understand what was happening in the Zhou Dynasty, and everyone gradually realized what the railway meant.

The envoy replied: "Yes, the Zhou army was building a railway while fighting. I don't know that in the north. Anyway, the railway was built from the south bank of Pyongyang to the south, and it was almost time to build a city of Weili."

Kim Yu-shin's expression changed when he heard this: "You are going to cultivate to Fuli City?"

The messenger nodded: "Yes."

Kim Yu-shin sat for a long time, and he could probably think about how much control Zhou Jun would have on the areas around the open road after the railway was built.

In the face of absolute advantage, no strategy will have any effect.
