A fire in the Wushui Bay enveloped Pyongyang City in a panic. Even the children knew that the Sui army had landed in the bay again, and the soldiers on the city were even more worried. I don’t know when the Sui army would be at the city...≦,

The landing of the Sui army from the Wushuiwan was undoubtedly a clever strategy. It restrained the Goguryeo army gathered on the Pyongyang line, making them afraid to act rashly and unable to go north to fight the Sui army's land army, which to some extent ensured that the Sui army could move south smoothly by land.

At this time, after two wars, Goguryeo's national strength was weak and its population was sharply reduced, and its army was less than 50,000. In the second war with the Sui army, Goguryeo knew that it would be defeated.

In order to protect themselves, they did not hesitate to give the 300,000 pieces of military armor left by the Sui army to the Turks, and only beg the Turks to send troops south and restrain the Sui army from the east. However, the troops disappeared unexpectedly halfway, and the Turks' hope of sending troops was shattered.

Just when Goguryeo was extremely sad, there was a turmoil within the Sui Dynasty. Yang Xuangan, one of the powerful men of the Sui Dynasty, rebelled in the heart of the Central Plains, and had a great momentum, forcing hundreds of thousands of Sui troops gathered on the front line of Liaodong and were preparing to launch a large-scale attack to quickly withdraw back to Hebei, which also saved the desperate Goguryeo.

The whole country of Goguryeo was joking, and some even proposed to form an alliance with Yang Xuangan to help Yang Xuangan defeat the Sui Dynasty.

The so-called military force is indefinitely and water is indefinitely. Before Goguryeo's excitement has subsided, Yang Xuangan's rebellion was extinguished. The Sui army's third attack on Goguryeo came unexpectedly, causing Goguryeo to fall into extreme panic again.

As the capital of Goguryeo, although Pyongyang is limited by national strength, it covers a large area and has a circumference of only thirty miles, Goguryeo has been established for more than 600 years and has been established in Pyongyang for more than 200 years.

With the painstaking management of the Gao Dynasty for more than 200 years, Pyongyang City is spectacular, with various magnificent buildings everywhere, and is deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture. Various eaves, brackets, pavilions, towers, and towers look no different from those of the Central Plains.

There is a large mansion covering an area of ​​nearly 100 acres near the north gate of Pyongyang City. This is the mansion of Quan Huan, the second most important official of Goguryeo. Quan Huan served as the position of Dalu, that is, the prime minister. However, Goguryeo's military and political power was in the hands of Yuan Taizuo, and Quan Huan had no real power in the court.

But Quan Huan had a great power. He was named the Eastern Lord for generations. Thousand miles east of Pyongyang were the sphere of influence of his family. Therefore, although Quan Huan had no power, he played an important position in the court. Even Yuan Taizuo dared not look down on him too much.

At this time, in the back hall of the mansion, Quan Huan was wearing a generous robe and listened to the report of a report soldier with a nervous expression. He was very worried about the life and death of his eldest son Quan Wenshou.

"Sir Qi, the eldest son is currently detained in the Sui army camp. He is safe and unharmed. He begs to negotiate peace with the Sui army as soon as possible so that the Sui army can release him!"

After saying that, the soldiers reported the letter to Quan Huan. Quan Huan recognized the handwriting on the letter at a glance, which was his son's handwriting. He opened the letter and read it quickly, and immediately felt relieved. His son was really safe.

He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. Although the five thousand soldiers were completely wiped out by the Sui army and none of them survived, Quan Huan did not care about the lives of these soldiers at all. In his heart, even a hundred thousand soldiers were not as important as one of his sons. Moreover, he was his eldest son.

He knew what to do if he changed, but in this way, the conflict between him and Yuan Taizuo would be completely revealed.

Just this morning, Pyongyang received news that Yuan Taizuo's third son Yuan Wuning was unfortunately killed by the Sui general near Liaodong City. Yuan Taizuo was extremely sad and strongly demanded a decisive battle with the Sui army. He also threatened that whoever dared to reconcile in the court would be Yuan Taizuo's enemy.

But at this time, his son was captured by the Sui army. Quan Huan knew that there were only two ways to save his son’s life. Either discuss peace with the Sui army or exchange his son with Sui army prisoners of war. However, more than 100,000 Sui army prisoners were all working hard laborers in the mines, and were controlled by Yuan Taizuo. Is Yuan Taizuo willing to give him some prisoners of war?

After thinking for a long time, Quan Huan decided to go to the palace to talk to the king about this matter first.

"Tell me my order and prepare the car immediately. I'm going to the palace!"

King Gao of Yingyang was nearly fifty years old. He ascended the throne the following year of the Sui Dynasty's destruction of Chen, and Emperor Wen of Sui enthroned him as the third sect of Kaifu Yitong, Duke of Liaodong County, and King of Goryeo.

During his more than ten years of life as a king of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan spent his time among fine wine and beauties. The power of Goguryeo's government was actually in the hands of Moli Zhiyuan Taizuo, and Gao Yuan was just a king with only a name.

The long-term life of luxury destroyed Gao Yuan's health. His body was bloated and dark, and his face seemed to have been stung by a hornet. It was swollen and his eyes could hardly be opened.

Although he seemed very tired, Gao Yuan knew very well that hundreds of thousands of Sui army generals attacked Goguryeo for the third time, and his troops were at the city. If he continued to fight, Goguryeo would be destroyed.

Gao Yuan strongly advocated seeking peace from the Sui army from the beginning, but Yuan Taizuo and Yizhi Wende firmly advocated war, which made his appeal lose its effect. Gao Yuan was extremely dissatisfied. In the palace, Gao Yuan was listening to Quan Huan's persuasion.

"King, the army in our city is less than 50,000. If we continue to fight, I am worried that not only the Sui Dynasty will destroy us, but the one who really has ulterior motives is Silla. They occupy the fertile Han River Plain, and their ambitions have begun to expand. Once our strength disappears, even if the Sui Dynasty finally lets us go, the Silla people will still send troops north. What will we resist at that time?"

Quan Huan's persuasion was said every word about Gao Yuan's heart. Gao Yuan sighed long, but he wanted to ask for peace from the Sui army, but some people refused!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a stern voice came from the palace gate, "Who wants to ask for peace from the Sui army?"

A dozen burly warriors surrounded Yuan Taizuo and strode into the palace. Yuan Taizuo was wearing golden armor, a scarlet cloak, and a Pingnan sword on his waist. He glanced at Gao Yuan and Quan Huan with sharp eyes, and both of them were silent.

When Yuan Taizuo heard the report from his confidant, Quan Huan secretly asked to see Gao Yuan. He immediately led the warriors to break into the palace. He would never allow any secrets in the palace to conceal him.

Yuan Taizuo's ambition was as good as Sima Zhao's heart. Everyone knows Goguryeo. He was originally the big pair of Goguryeo, but he was no longer satisfied with being the prime minister of Goguryeo, and forced Gao Yuan to grant himself the title of Mo Lizhi, the regent. He was already preparing to replace Gao.

An undetectable hatred flashed in Gao Yuan's eyes. His dissatisfaction with Yuan Taizuo was not a day or two, but he had to endure it. He knew that as long as he showed a slight dissatisfaction, he would immediately die on the woman's belly. The new Goguryeo King was about to ascend to the throne, and Gao Yuan did not dare to say anything.

Quan Huan said calmly: "Everyone saw the smoke rolling over the bay last night. Everyone knows that the Sui army should land. Does Lord Mo Lizhi think we can still defeat the Sui army?"

Yuan Taizuo sneered: "Lord Quan is worried about his son! Your son was caught by the Sui army, so you have no will to resist and come and persuade the king to surrender. I'm right!"

Quan Hengda shouted angrily: "Everyone has his own children, aren't you? Your son was killed by the Sui general, so you are determined to take revenge and tie Goguryeo to you and bury you!"

"You are right. My son was indeed killed by the Sui general, but my son died in value, so I am not avenging him."

Yuan Taizuo turned around and said to Gao Yuan: "Your Majesty, I received information from my elder brother before his death this morning. This time, the Sui generals did not want to attack us in a large-scale expedition. Only 30,000 troops from Hu'er attacked Pyongyang, while hundreds of thousands of other Sui generals remained in Liaodong. It is said that even the Emperor of Sui was still sick and stayed in Zhuo County. Does the king still understand the situation in front of him?"

Gao Yuan was stunned and asked quickly: "I am not sure, please give me advice from Lord Mo Lizhi!"

Yuan Taizuo glanced at Quan Huan, who was full of dissatisfaction, and said lightly: "The key is that Yang Xuangan rebelled. Yang Xuangan is not an ordinary bandit. He is the Minister of Rites of the Sui Dynasty. His father Yang Su was also the founding elder of the Sui Dynasty. He had a huge influence in the officialdom of the Sui Dynasty. His rebellion meant that the division of the ruling class of the Sui Dynasty had seriously shaken the foundation of the Sui Dynasty.

That's why the Emperor of Sui found an excuse to be sick and stayed in Zhuo County to prevent another Yang Xuangan from appearing. Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in Liaodong without launching. In name, it was a large army that was invading, but in fact it was ready to withdraw to the Central Plains at any time. The king and the Sui Dynasty's third eastern expedition were actually only 30,000 troops who came to Hu'er."

Gao Yuan was a little moved. If this was the case, maybe they would have a chance. Quan Huan saw that Gao Yuan was already moved and said anxiously: "Master Mo Lizhi, can your son provide such information? I think it was you who thought it out by yourself!"

Yuan Taizuo suddenly turned around and glared at Quan Huan and said, "Why did Lord Quan say this? My information comes from my own way. I will tell you clearly that this is the information Bohai will give me, and it is not something I thought of."
