But soon, Cheng Ruixiang's face changed drastically and he said in a lost voice: "Oh no."

Cheng Jiushan and Cheng Jiuhai brothers looked at Cheng Ruixiang in confusion. Cheng Jiuhai wondered, "What's wrong, father? What's wrong?"

"Yes. It's obviously a happy event, why is it bad?" Cheng Jiushan nodded repeatedly.

"Wu Nian is a man who is strong and strong. According to historical books, he is a hero. He wants to defeat Goguryeo, so his rule in the two palaces was very gentle."

"The army, officials, have no harm to the people."

"If he starts to retreat due to the plague in the army, he might have a drastic change in his attitude and even ordered the army to massacre the city?"

Speaking of this, Cheng Ruixiang was already sweating profusely. Although he was in the bitter cold winter, his body was still hot. While stretching out his hand to pull open his collar, he paced back and forth in the study.

Cheng Jiushan and Cheng Jiuhai brothers also changed their faces and began to tremble.

The city massacre?!!! What a terrible word. It symbolizes blood.

In Wu Nian's army, news of the epidemic began to spread, and it began to scatter.

.........

Goguryeo Capital City.

Li Yunchong's mansion, in the main hall.

Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng sat together on two magistrate chairs in the north. On the coffee table in the middle, there were two cups of hot tea, but they didn't drink a single drink.

"General Zhao. I am restless. If the plague is really rampant in Wu Nian's army, then the disaster of national destruction will be eliminated invisibly."

Li Yunchong looked excited, stood up and walked back and forth in the main hall. The huge joy overwhelmed him.

To defeat Wu Nian’s army? To defeat.

He was satisfied that he could protect Goguryeo's national fortune, keep the Queen Mother and continue to rule from behind the curtain, and keep the wealth and glory of the Li family.

The plague among the people of Wu Nian's army, and Wu Nian retreated by himself, that would be better.

"If this is true, it is indeed gratifying. But what if it is fake?" Zhao Mancheng calmed down a lot. After shaking his head, his eyes flashed with gleam: "General Li, don't forget."

"Wu Nian is a master who is good at beating the east and west."

"It was just that he wanted to attack Huanglong Mansion that made our defense relax. He easily crossed the river and attacked Goguryeo."

"Maybe he released the fog, the purpose was to make us relax and even send troops to fight him."

"We can't take it too much, lest we fall into his tricks."

A basin of cold water was poured from Li Yunchong's head. The snow qilin, as its name suggests, produces cold water.

But Li Yunchong was not angry, but calmed down instead. He took a few deep breaths, turned around and returned to the Grand Master's chair to sit down, picked up the teacup and drank three sips of tea, then nodded and said, "General Zhao is right. Wu Nian is indeed cunning."

"We can't let our guard down."

"By the way, Kataki Shigetsu is also a problem. When he got the news, he must think it was a fighter. We have to block his mouth and not send troops to fight."

"Yes." Zhao Mancheng nodded and shook his head with a headache. On one side was a sinister and cunning opponent, and on the other side were a brave and combative allies.

But it's really troublesome at both ends.

"Dadadada!!!" Suddenly, a Li Yunchong's personal soldier walked in from outside and bent down to report: "General, General Zhao, and the governor of the Tatsutong family are looking for a meeting outside."

I am really afraid of anything I come to.

Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

............

It is a very dangerous thing to fight two large-scale armies. What's more, the war launched by Wu Nian also concerns the survival of Goguryeo.

As the news spread, the entire Jiangjie City, no, the entire Jiangjie Prefecture, Yizhou Prefecture, and the land controlled by Wu Nian were surging undercurrents.

A neutral family like the Cheng family was both happy that Wu Nian showed a decline, and worried about the chaos when Wu Nian withdrew.

Even Wu Nian may order the city massacre.

For those Goguryeo clans, gentry and officials who quickly abandoned Goguryeo and returned to Wu Nian's arms, this was like a bolt from the blue.

If Wu Nian retreats.

Then these people must be liquidated by Goguryeo.

The best result was that they followed Wu Nian and retreated to Liaodong. Many people began to make preparations, selling their land and houses in exchange for precious items such as gold and silver, and planned to run away.

Although they feel sorry for it, this is a helpless move.

In the battle between these two armies, it is not wrong to choose anyone before they decide the winner. Since they have made a bet and failed, they can only accept reality.

This led to severe turmoil in the prices of land and houses in the two palaces, and the prices were extremely low for a while and they could not even be sold.

General of the Han Dynasty, Beppu.

In the main hall.

Wu Nian sat in the main seat, holding a tea cup to drink tea. Although the weather was very cold, the tea I just brought was hot. He picked up the tea lid and blew it gently. After the tea was cold, he took several sips.

Then he shook his head and put down the tea cup. After drinking tea for so many years, it was still the wild camellia tea from Beishanbao that tasted good.

"Da da da da da."

A sound of footsteps sounded. Wu Nian looked up at the door, and Lu Sheng walked in from outside. He bent down and saluted, "General, look for me?"

"It's almost done. Summon Beppu officials to meet."

Young Wu nodded lightly, with a smile in his eyes.

"Yes." Lu Sheng clasped his fists and immediately turned around. Not long after, all the officials in Beppu, followed Lu Sheng, came to the main hall. After they paid homage to Wu Nian, they stood on both sides.

This scene is a bit like the emperor attending the morning court, while civil and military officials stand below.

Of course, Wu Nian would not float away, but just looked at everyone calmly and said calmly: "There are rumors recently, and there are all things to say."

"I'll tell you clearly now."

"1. In Liaodong, my chief officer, the garrison guards, and the garrison of ten thousand households led the soldiers and civilians to fight with the Mongol Yuan, Fusang and Chu at the same time, and the war was intensified."

"2. The warriors were not accommodating, and a plague occurred in the army. Although I tried my best to maintain it, the situation did not improve."

"I plan to give up the Jiangjie Prefecture and Yizhou Prefecture that I have obtained."

"And take away the food, supplies, weapons in the treasury, and taxes such as gold and silver on the aristocratic families and gentry."

"Of course, I will take all the officials away, including the Goguryeo officials who have done their best to do their best to do my job."

"People say that I, Wu Nian, are a hero, and I don't deny it. But one thing is, Wu Nian, will not easily abandon any of my own people."

"When withdrawing troops, Goguryeo officials can take their families with them first."

"above."

When Wu Nian spoke, the officials from Goguryeo's hometown suddenly turned pale and their bodies trembled, but when Wu Nian promised to take them away.

They immediately felt relieved and smiled.

"Thank you, General." The officials from Goguryeo were sincerely grateful for Wu Nian's kindness and bowed to him.

"No need to thank you. I said that I will not abandon anyone easily. Everyone who helps me can rest assured."

Wu Nian said with a straightforward smile.

Wu Nian's second plan began. He pretended to retreat.

It echoes the first step of the plague.
