Although Li Muqing had already expected it, the scout's words still shocked her.

"Send the order and withdraw the troops!" Li Muqing said to the commander beside him.

A Goguryeo general asked anxiously: "Princess, although General Gao Sulfur was frustrated, the advantage of these three fronts is at me, why do we withdraw our troops?"

Li Muqing said calmly: "The Northern Army occupied the geographical advantage, and the high-sulfur general retreated and moved the morale of the army. If the battle continued, it would only increase casualties!"

The rapid and depressed sound of the golden bell rang out on the three fronts of the north, middle and south one after another. The Goguryeo army, which had been attacking for a whole day, finally retreated. The defenders of the north everywhere could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then the feeling of fatigue hit their hearts.

Although the Goguryeo retreated, the Northern Expedition Army still did not dare to be careless. They still left enough garrison and guard forces at key points everywhere, and the large group of people retreated to the three forts near the Luan River.

The war between the Northern Army and the coalition headed by Goguryeo came to an end. In the battle that lasted less than a day, the two sides invested nearly 700,000 troops. The battle was very fierce, with nearly 90,000 casualties on the coalition side, General Li Li was killed and killed; while the Northern Army also paid a heavy price of 55,000 casualties.

Gao Suo led nearly 80,000 defeated troops back to the camp on the east bank of the Luan River in the evening. Their arrival made the atmosphere of depressing in the military camp even stronger.

"Princess, I am incompetent. Please punish the princess!!" Gao Yan, who was seriously injured, knelt on the ground. Several generals stood behind him, all of whom were covered in scars and smoke.

Li Muqing frowned and gently opened his red lips and said, "You led the army to shoulder important missions, but you were defeated. According to military law, you should be punished for your death penalty. However, you thought that you personally led the warriors to cut off the rear at a critical moment, so that the main force can retreat to the camp! Therefore, you are exempted from the death penalty and demoted the official position for three levels, and you will still listen to it under the account!"

Gao Su was moved and thanked him with tears: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your extrajudicial kindness!"

Two generals behind Gao Sui stepped forward to help Gao Sui up. Li Muqing said with concern: "General Gao Sui is not seriously injured, go down and recover!"

"Yes!" Gao Yan held his fists and agreed with emotion.

"By the way, why didn't I see General Li Li?" Li Muqing asked suddenly.

Gao Yan replied in grief and anger: "Report to the princess, General Li Li was killed on the battlefield by Guan Yu, a general of the Northern Expedition Army!"

When the generals in the tent heard this, they couldn't help but feel a thrill in their hearts. They couldn't help but think of the scene when Guan Yu led the cavalry to rush forward alone.

Li Muqing's calm expression was finally broken. He frowned and murmured in a daze: "It's you again! It's you again!..."

Gao Suo continued: "The wound of the last general was also caused by Guan Yu!"

Li Muqing came to his senses and said to Gao Yi: "General Gao Yi will go down and heal his wounds with peace of mind!" Gao Yi shouted and with the help of his generals, he withdrew from the tent.

Li Muqing confronted the generals and said, "All the generals will go down and purify their subordinates!"

"Yes!" The generals agreed and then withdrew from the big tent. When Tie Pohan exited the big tent, he looked back at Li Muqing with concern, and saw Li Muqing sitting in the position of commander, dazed and dazed. Tie Pohan hesitated for a moment and finally withdrew from the main tent.

Several Fuyu's generals rode their horses on the way back to the base camp.

"From today's situation, I'm afraid that not only the things that the Goguryeo people promised were mirrors, but also our Fuyu would also cause great trouble!" A young general said with concern. This young general was named Fujian, a branch of the Fuyu royal family. He admired Han culture when he was young and advocated good cultivation with Han Dynasty; Fujian was handsome and liked to wear Hanfu. He was considered an alien in Fuyu's country.

As soon as Fu Jian said something, a rude general Fu Yu on the side retorted: "Although we have suffered heavy losses in this battle today, the Han people have not received any benefits! Fu Jian, are you afraid?" This rude guy is the confidant general of Fu Yu's eldest prince Fu Meng, named Fu Kun, and is a brave general in Fu Yu's army.

To Fu Kun's expectation, Fu Jian, who has always been proud, actually nodded and said, "I am really hurt...

I'm afraid! I'm afraid that our Fuyu will cut off the country's inheritance for thousands of years because of such a small profit!"

When the other generals heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, thinking that Fu Jian's words were too alarmist.

Fu Yu's generals returned to their Fu Yu's army camp and went to the tent to pay homage to their eldest prince Fu Meng. At this time, Fu Meng was lying on the couch to heal his wounds, with thick cotton wrapped around his broken arms, and his complexion was OK.

After the salutes, several generals stood under the tent.

"What is the situation of the battle today? What did the princess say?" Husband asked impatiently.

Several generals looked at each other, and Fu Jian stepped forward to report: "Report to your Highness, today's battle was very fierce, and both the enemy and us suffered heavy losses, but our army failed to defeat the opponent's Northern Army!"

Hu Meng couldn't help but frowned and murmured: "The princess must be very disappointed!"

Hearing this, the generals couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Fu Jian suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I will give you a word of advice!" Fu Meng nodded absent-mindedly.

Fu Jian said: "I think that we, Fu Yu, should get out as soon as possible, and don't get involved in the delusions of the Goguryeo people!"

Husband was stunned and frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The Goguryeo people could not defeat the Han people. The large-scale counterattack of the Han people will definitely be shortly after..."

Hu Meng frowned and said, "You mean, we Hu Yu people should betray the covenant with the Goguryeo people."

Fu Jian said: "It's not betrayal! Our husbands and the Goguryeo people have been fighting with each other for a hundred years, and they have a deep hatred between them. The Goguryeo people did not really trust us at all. When Guan Yu led his army to raid, Li Muqing's actions showed this!"

Although other generals had opinions on the argument that the Han people would eventually win, they agreed with Fujian's comments on the Goguryeo. They were unwilling to get involved with the Goguryeo, especially after Li Muqing ordered the crossbowmen to shoot and kill Fu Yu's defeated army in one day.

The husband sat up violently and cursed: "Shut up! Since we have signed an alliance with Goguryeo, we must abide by it!"

Fu Jian couldn't help but feel anxious and said anxiously: "Your Highness,..."

"Shut up! I don't want to hear such remarks that hinder the covenant between the two countries! Get out!" Hu shouted angrily.

Fu Jian had no choice but to bow and leave the tent. Fu Jian came out of the tent and sighed heavily at the moonlight in the sky.

The husband glanced at everyone under the tent and said in a deep voice: "Remember to me, and you must not discuss the abolition of the alliance and the withdrawal of the army!"

The generals dared not say anything else, and they all agreed with each other.

"I'm tired, you guys go down!"

"Yes!" The generals bowed to their husbands violently and then withdrew from the tent.

Fu Jian sighed and walked towards his tent. Suddenly, someone came from the side and called him, "General Fu Jian!"

Fu Jian stopped and looked in the sound. His eyes lit up. He hurriedly went up and said, "I'll pay homage to Fu Jian to the national teacher!" The man in front of Fu Jian was about fifty years old, with a clear appearance and a very energetic appearance. This man was Fu Yu's national teacher Yadusi, second only to the king in Fu Yu's country. behind Yadusi stood dozens of strong soldiers with different armors. They were the personal soldiers of Yadusi's private army. Yadusi had its own private army, with about ten thousand people, and had very strong combat power.

Yadusi smiled gently, helped Fu Jian up, and asked, "I saw that Fu Jian looked depressed, so why are you worried?"

As if Fu Jian had found a confidant, he immediately told Yu Yadusi about his insights and the situation he had advised Fu Meng just now.

After listening to Fujian's narration, Yadushi smiled and said, "What you said is not unreasonable, but you didn't consider a single problem!"

Fu Jian clasped his fists with a respectful look on his face and said, "Please give advice from the national teacher!"

Yadusi said: "I'll ask you, do you think the Han people will let us go after they eliminate the Goguryeo people?"

Fu Jian was stunned and murmured: "This, the Han people are a country of etiquette. They should not bully the weak and bully neighbors!"

Yadusi said seriously: "If the Central Plains are unified in the future...

The other Han priests, then the situation may be as you said! But if the Northern Army conquers the world, I think it is not only Goguryeo and our husband Yu who can't escape their military attacks, but wherever the Han brigades reach, I'm afraid they can't escape the vast war fire!"

Fu Jian was shocked, "How could this happen?"
