Liaodong, Goguryeo.

"Report to the king, our caravan was expelled again. This time it was more serious than last time. The caravan was rejected before entering Zhuozhou."

"What's the reason?"

"There is no reason for the king! Our caravan has just arrived at the border and was stopped by the Han army. We have tried many times to argue, but the other generals disobeyed at all. It is said that they received strict orders from Youzhou that any caravan in Goguryeo should not enter Youzhou to do business."

"I'm so brave. This must be Gu Tianya's trick. I wish I could eat his bones alive."

There was a rumbling sound.

A table was overturned.

The Lord of Goguryeo's face turned pale, and his eyes flashed with rage. The man's teeth clattered, and his face was full of hideous murderous intent.

Suddenly he looked at the door and shouted sternly: "I inform all civil and military officials to enter the palace. I want to see what else they can say this time?"

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and it was obvious that the guards on duty hurried away.

The Goguryeo king took a deep breath, suddenly pulled out a sword from the wall, held the sword in his hand, looked loudly, staring at the person who had just reported, and asked, "What do you think I should do?"

The man was trembling and dared not speak.

The Goguryeo king took a deep breath again, stabbed his sword to the ground, and said, "I have reached the point where I can't bear it anymore. I can't continue like this, I can't continue like this anymore. This person used the trick of boiling frogs in warm water. He clearly wanted to let my Goguryeo die slowly."

The atmosphere in the hall is extremely depressing.

No one dares to advise the angry king.

Until half an hour later, footsteps sounded outside the door again, but listened to a guard's careful report and said respectfully: "Report to the lord, the ministers have arrived at the hall of deliberation."

The Goguryeo king did not say a word, and pulled up his long sword and walked away. Several guards followed behind in fear, fearing that if you accidentally get hurt, you will be affected by the fish in the pond.

Fortunately, although the king was furious, he had no intention of venting his anger. He didn't have much time to reach the hall of the meeting, and the guards breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the hall was already full of ministers.

When everyone saw the sword of the country leader coming, they were suddenly shocked. However, they saw that the king walked all the way to the top of the head and suddenly inserted his sword heavily to the ground and said in a sequel: "I have decided to raise an army to attack You."

"Your Majesty, no!"

A minister almost blurted out and subconsciously said: "Youzhou Iron Cavalry is unparalleled in the world, we Goguryeo..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped talking and did not dare to say anything again. However, the Lord of Goguryeo had already stared at him, and Youhan asked, "What, are you afraid?"

The minister's heart trembled, and his forehead suddenly became sweaty.

The Goguryeo king withdrew his gaze and slowly glanced at the other ministers.

Suddenly he exhaled a long breath, looked up at the beam on the roof, and said with difficulty: "I also know that the Iron Cavalry of Youzhou is very powerful. If it is absolutely necessary, how can I decide to raise an army to attack You?"

"But my dear friends, you can't let others snore on the side of your bed."

"You may not know something. I had quietly been to Youzhou a year ago. It was the first day that Gu Tianya's mutual market was opened. I took the guards into a merchant to investigate..."

"That day, I saw a big business worth hundreds of thousands of yuan."

"Do you know what my thoughts were at that time? The first thought that arose in my heart was fear."

"Yes, fear."

"In that short day, hundreds of thousands of yuan were sold on the mutual market. The Turks used cattle and sheep to buy salt and iron, the Western Regions used gold beads to buy tea bricks, and the women in Silla started a laughing business there. Baekje swordsmen found the employer's home, and everyone gained a lot, and everyone became smiling."

"Only I, my heart is cold..."

"From that day, I knew that Goguryeo was in danger. A tiger came to his side, and he would definitely stare at the surroundings."

"Who is around the land of the Secluded Clouds?"

"The Turks are in the north, the Western Regions are in the west, and as for its east, it is our Goguryeo. Some people may say that this is a place surrounded by wolves. No matter how fierce the tiger is, it cannot withstand the wolf biting."

"In theory, this is the reason, but unfortunately, that tiger is too smart..."

"He did not act fiercely, but instead showed a curled up around him. His command clearly had a powerful iron cavalry, but he kept releasing kindness to others."

"The Turks wanted to buy salt, iron and grain from the Han people, so they really sold salt, iron and grain to the Turks, and also specially formulated tax exemption policies. The larger the tribe, the greater the exemption discount."

"So the Turks tasted the sweetness, and many large tribes wanted to be friends with him."

"There are also the camel prophets in Tuyuhun who paid tens of thousands of cows in one transaction, bought thousands of trucks of grain, and prepared to transport them back to the Western Regions to support their people. That was just their first transaction, but the two of them seemed to be old friends, chatting and laughing and trusting each other."

"Gu Tianya even sent a special cavalry to escort the Tuyuhun people's grain team all the way back to the country. So the Tuyuhun people also regarded him as a friend."

"That day, I also wanted to try to be friends with him. So I also took action on the market, preparing to buy goods to express friendship. However, a basin of cold water poured down on my head, making me tremble as if I was in the coldest cold... "

"Do you know what the merchants on the Mutual Market say?"

"They said, don't sell!"

"Not selling! What a simple two words? But the information revealed behind these two words is a kind of murderous harshness."

"It turns out that Gu Tianya's tiger did not all shrink its minions. The reason why he released goodwill to the surroundings was just because he didn't want to be surrounded by wolves. But he did not release goodwill all, he chose a target as his enemy..."

"This enemy is our Goguryeo."

The Goguryeo king stopped slightly when he said this, withdrew his eyes to look up at the roof and looked at everyone, and suddenly asked, "Who can tell me why he is targeting us? It is obvious that there are foreign tribes around him, why is it our Goguryeo who becomes the enemy?"

This question made the ministers in the palace pale.

It took a long time to see someone slowly walking out. The man's face was full of bitterness, and he sighed and replied, "Your Majesty, we have a feud with the Han people."

The Goguryeo Kingdom's head looked at him and nodded, "Yes, we have a feud with the Han people."

He glanced at everyone again and said slowly: "The Central Plains was the leader of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang of Sui sent troops to fight against Goryeo three times, but was defeated by us one after another. Hundreds of thousands of Han people became dead souls under the knife. For us Goguryeo, this is a victory worthy of a book. However, for the Han people, this is a great shame that has never been seen in the ages... No, it should not be called a great shame, but a deep hatred, but an irreconcilable one."

"They are finally ready to avenge this revenge."

"If it were in the past, I would not be afraid of them taking revenge, because we all know that the royal family and aristocratic families in the Central Plains were not dealing with each other. The reason why Emperor Yang of Sui failed to conquer Goryeo in three battles was because the aristocratic families were dragging us down."

"But when I was rejected in the market that day, and the one who rejected it was the aristocratic family that had had a very strong friendship with us. At that moment, I knew that the Han people became terrible... The reason is very simple, they began to join in groups."

"The Han family and royal family have reached a tacit understanding for the first time in thousands of years. Driven by Gu Tianya's wealth, they finally became a nation that will never be infighted again."

"It's scary to think about the Han people who don't fight in the internal strife."

"So I made a decision that day, and I must find a way to stop the land of the clouds from taking off."

At this time, a minister came out and bowed and said, "Did Your Majesty start targeting Youzhou a year ago?"

"Yes, I started a year ago."

The Goguryeo king nodded slowly, but for some reason his expression was a little ugly.
