    On the evening of the ninth day of May, Eulji Wende arrived at the battlefield of Dading River. However, he was still a step late. Just when he was planning to cross the river overnight to rescue Quan Baicao, Si Xianbule and Gai Baowen, who were fighting fiercely on the north bank, sent evil spirits.  According to the news, the Quan Baicao troops were completely wiped out, and the enemy troops have begun to retreat across the board.  Ulchi Mundeok was shocked and angry. He made a mistake by overestimating the enemy's force and causing his own side to suffer heavy losses. However, he did not believe that the enemy's force still had strong combat effectiveness.  Killing one thousand enemies and damaging oneself eight hundred. Even if the enemy has an absolute advantage in strength in the battle, if they fight continuously and it is an encirclement and annihilation battle, it is conceivable that he will suffer huge losses, so he thinks that he  His "lose-lose" strategy has been successful. Next, as long as he firmly holds the enemy back and puts them in a dilemma, he can seize the key point of the enemy's lack of food and grass and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.  Eulji Wende ordered all the troops to cross the river overnight and set up a decisive battle formation on the north bank of the Dading River, not giving the enemy a chance to breathe.  On the morning of the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, King Qi accepted the persuasion of Li Zixiong, Han Shier and others and raised the royal flag to boost morale and at the same time deter the Goguryeo people.  Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng tried their best to dissuade them, saying that this was a conspiracy of the Andong people. The purpose was to use the King of Qi as bait to firmly attract the Goguryeo army to the Dading River battlefield and create better opportunities for Li Fengyun to attack Pyongyang.  This plan looks good, but King Qi's bait is too tempting for the Goguryeo people. Once the Goguryeo people get wind of the news and come overwhelmingly, it will be very detrimental to King Qi's safety.  King Qi was hesitant, and after thinking over and over again, he rejected the advice of Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng.  At this moment, the war has entered a critical moment. The arrow has been stringed and must be fired. Once it goes back on its promise, it will trigger internal conflicts and the consequences will be disastrous.  Ulchi Wende was very surprised when he heard the news. He immediately crossed the Dading River and went to the front line to observe the enemy's situation in person.  Previously, he judged that this long-distance attacking enemy army was commanded by Xue Shixiong, a famous general from China. If the facts exceeded his imagination and the commander of this enemy army turned out to be the King of Qi from China, the only legitimate son of the Emperor of China, then the situation would be far worse than before.  The prediction is serious, and our side must immediately make a new assessment of the war situation and come up with new countermeasures.  After Eulji Mundeok verified the enemy's situation, he immediately ordered to suspend the attack and defend with all his strength. At the same time, he convened an emergency military meeting with all the commanders and generals, and urgently reported to King Gowon, Pyongyang Gao Jianmu and Jiang Yiwei of the Yalu Water Defense Line.  The Goguryeo army did not attack, and the Chinese army was of course happy. It easily won some breathing time, which was too precious for the exhausted Anton soldiers.  On the tenth day of May, Li Fengyun led the selected vanguard horse army to the gates of Pyongyang.  Pyongyang is shocked and terrified.  Gao Jianwu realized that the situation was critical.  Now Goguryeo's important western towns of Liaodong and Wuguzhu are surrounded by enemy forces. Jiang Yiwei and his western defenders are tightly held by the enemy at the Yalu River, while the Eulji Mundeok and Qingchuan defenders are  The enemy troops who had made a long-distance attack were restrained on both sides of the Dading River. Under this unfavorable situation, Pyongyang, as the rear area, had a serious lack of defensive power. However, at this critical moment, the enemy gathered tens of thousands of horse troops from Donghu and Mohe captives and returned.  He fought at the gates of Pyongyang, ripped out his heart from the tiger's mouth, and dealt a fatal blow to Pyongyang.  Gao Jianwu made a sudden decision, and before the enemy troops completely surrounded Pyongyang, he sent a number of envoys to Chang'an and Qingchuan to alert King Gowon and Eulji Mundeok respectively.  Gao Jianwu has no confidence in holding on to Pyongyang. At present, Pyongyang not only lacks defensive power, but the capitulationists and rebels are also ready to move, especially the rebels, who are deeply hidden. Once they defect before the battle or raise troops to mutiny, Pyongyang will lose, so Gao Jianwu warned Gao Yuan  , we must strengthen the defense of Chang'an City, be especially careful of internal rebellion, and don't be careless and be taken advantage of by Xiaoxiao.  He also implored Eulji Mundeok that if he wanted to reverse the current crisis, he could only defeat his opponent on the battlefield of Dajeong River. As long as he defeated this enemy army that had come from a long distance, the enemy troops surrounding Pyongyang would lose their support and would surely be relieved.  Therefore, Gao Jianwu proposed to Eulji Mundeok that he should fight with all his strength at any cost, even if he defeated the Qingchuan defenders. After all, the enemy's "vital points" were very obvious, and his side had a great chance of winning. The current competition between the two sides was time.  , and what the enemy lacked was time, so Gao Jianwu assured Eulji Munduk that he was sure to hold Pyongyang in the short term, and it would not be a problem for ten and a half days.  The enemy army could not last ten and a half days due to severe shortage of food, grass and weapons. Victory must belong to Goguryeo.  However, Gao Jianwu never arrived anyway, and his good wish to stick to the "ten days and a half month" was shattered on the first night when the enemy troops surrounded Pyongyang.  On the night of the tenth day of May, Hu Yanjian and An Beihai, who had disappeared for a long time, walked into Li Fengyun's military tent.  At the beginning of the year, Hu Yanjian and other secret soldier brothers, together with five hundred heavenly wolf cavalry guards, were ordered by Li Fengyun to disguise themselves as the escort of the Li Te caravan. Under the leadership of the wealthy Li Te merchant Anter, they traveled a long distance to Goguryeo.  Entered Pyongyang city without any danger.  Soon, China began to attack Goguryeo for the third time. The war broke out again and the return journey was cut off.?, Anter's caravan had to stay in Pyongyang, so it successfully completed its latent mission.  Now that they finally have Li Fengyun and the Andong Army here, the next step is to attack Pyongyang together inside and outside.  After the two parties exchanged greetings for a while, Li Fengyun got straight to the point and asked bluntly, "As early as the beginning of the year, I said that whether you can successfully complete the mission on this trip will directly determine the survival of Anton. Now, I have arrived as promised, and  Can you tell me that you have successfully completed the task? " Hu Yanjian and An Beihai looked at each other and nodded in unison. However, there was hesitation and worry in their eyes, which made Li Fengyun's heart suddenly skip a beat.  stand up.  "The mission has indeed been completed?" Li Fengyun asked again.  "Don't worry, brother, we have indeed completed the task, but" Hu Yanjian hesitated for a moment and continued, "It's just that the results are quite different from Ming Gong's expectations." Li Fengyun frowned, and there was a lightning flash in his mind.  Guess, "What's the explanation?" "Gao Yuan's uncle Gao Ling was once an envoy to Goguryeo and rushed to the desert Yazhang several times. Therefore, he got acquainted with Anter and had mutual interests." Hu Yanjian said, "We have completed the mission.  The key is Gao Ling." Li Fengyun understood and immediately asked, "Did Gao Ling take the initiative to find Anter, or did Anter actively lobby for Gao Ling?" An Beihai immediately answered, "The two sides hit it off immediately after trying it out first."  Li Fengyun nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and asked, "What are the conditions for Gaoling?" "Save the family and the country." Hu Yanjian's words were concise and concise, just four words. To put it bluntly, he wanted to preserve the Kingdom of Goguryeo and the fundamental interests of the Gao family.  This was completely contrary to Li Fengyun's expectations.  Li Fengyun's expected goal is to destroy Goguryeo, massacre the Gao royal family, and completely obliterate the Goguryeo clan.  Li Fengyun smiled so coldly that Hu Yanjian and An Beihai were secretly afraid.  "Why should Gao Ling believe in someone's promise?" Li Fengyun went straight to the "vital point."  Hu Yanjian remained silent.  An Beihai saw that Hu Yanjian had no intention of speaking, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Because of Anton's survival." Li Fengyun looked suspicious.  An Beihai continued, "Minggong devoted all his strength to Anton to attack Goguryeo. He could only win but not lose. If Anton lost, it would be over. Minggong would have lost all his previous efforts. And Minggong led his army to attack Goguryeo over a long distance. The fatal factor was food and grass.  There is a serious shortage of weapons, and we can only fight quickly. If we can't afford to delay, we will definitely lose if we don't fight for a long time. Therefore, Gao Ling is convinced that Duke Ming will definitely agree to his conditions and will definitely fulfill his promise. " Li Fengyun nodded.  Gaoling held a high position in Goguryeo and won the trust and reliance of Gaotang, Gao Yuan and his son. If such a person wanted to surrender, no one in Pyongyang could stop him.  Deep and powerful, it has the "capital" to preserve Goguryeo.  At this point, Li Fengyun has no choice.  First, he needs to capture Pyongyang in the shortest time and obtain the food, grass and weapons in Pyongyang city. Then Anton's army can persist on the Dading River battlefield and achieve final victory. To do this, he can only fight with Gao Ling.  Cooperate, if he betrays his trust, the two sides turn against each other and fight. In desperation, Gao Ling resorts to the method of destroying both the jade and the stone, and the consequences are disastrous. In the end, even if Li Fengyun "gets the last laugh", Anton may not get the maximum benefit as he wishes. Once Anton's army  After suffering heavy losses, it is still unclear whether he can finally escape the plot of the Holy Lord and the Center and fight his way out from Yu Wenshu's siege. What's more serious is, what will Anton do next?  The Civil War is about to begin. Where will the dying Anton go?  After weighing for a long time, Li Fengyun asked, "How to deal with Gao Yuan?" As soon as he said this, the nervous Hu Yanjian and An Beihai breathed a sigh of relief.  When Li Fengyun compromised, things became easier to handle and the situation became clear.  "Goguryeo is at the end of its rope. As the king, Gao Yuan must of course bear all the blame." An Beihai said, "But Gao Ling put forward a non-negotiable condition." "What condition?" Li Fengyun sneered, "Does he still want it?  To save Gao Yuan¡¯s life?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not true, Ming Gong is overly concerned.¡± An Beihai said with a smile, ¡°Gao Ling¡¯s condition is that he will fight in Chang¡¯an City and he will capture Gao Yuan, and then he will give Gao Yuan to Zhong.  The Emperor of Tu apologizes. As for Gao Yuan¡¯s life and death, it is up to the Emperor of China to decide. ¡°This is obviously to save Gao Yuan¡¯s life.¡± Li Fengyun shook his hand, ¡°I cannot agree to this condition.¡± An Beihai hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°Mr.  Gao Ling also has an additional condition. " "This Gao Ling is really powerful. He actually guessed that I would not leave Gao Yuan alive." Li Fengyun said disdainfully, "What additional conditions can Gao Ling use to blackmail someone?"??¡± ¡°In the Battle of Sashui, the Goguryeo people captured about 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers from China.  "An Beihai said, "In the past two years, one or two thousand people have died due to injuries and other reasons, but there are still more than 50,000 prisoners dying in the harsh mountains and rivers of Tutai Mountain.  Gaoling's additional condition was the life and death of these 50,000 Chinese captives.  " Li Fengyun showed his murderous intent and waved his hand without thinking, "Promise him, agree to all Gao Ling's conditions.  ¡± =
