The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 490 Volume Insult!

Wait a day or two...

After some thought, everyone agreed to build it.

But people still found it hard to believe that even if Sima Yi came to Liaodong, it would be difficult for him to open the triple walls of Xiangping City.

Not only did the Han army generals not believe that they could capture the city, even the Goguryeo king who had surrendered earlier felt regretful at this moment.

Gao Yanyou sat in the dark and damp tent and said to his queen Yu worriedly: "After so many days, everyone in the country must have known the result of the defeat in Samsanpo."

"There is a high possibility that a coup has taken place in Goguryeo, and my throne has been abandoned... and now I can only stay in this Han army camp, doing nothing, alas!"

Queen Yu was also very regretful.

The battle of Sanshanpu at that time really exaggerated the strength of the Han army, so much so that they were shocked and thought that the Han army could easily take Liaodong...

But the heavy rain in Liaodong and the three city walls built by Gongsun Du obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.

If the situation continues to develop in this way, I am afraid that the Han army may really return empty-handed in Liaodong!

There was one more thing that made Queen Yu regret...

That means going to bed early!

I thought Cao Cao was a rare talent among the Han army, but I later discovered that there were people like Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, and Liu Bei in the Han army camp!

"Ugh."

Queen Yu touched her belly, and the regret in her heart was even stronger than that of Gao Yanyou.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death now."

Queen Yu gave Gao Yanyou an idea -

"Contact Xiangping City and tell them that we only pretended to surrender to the Han army and that we only wanted to find out more about the Han army... In the letter, you can reveal the information that the Han army is running low on food and grass, and ask Gongsun Du to come out of the city to rescue them."

"We just need to be more humble and ask Gongsun Du to protect our throne in the future."

Gao Yanyou's face didn't look very good at the moment.

But when he thought that this was the only way to preserve his throne at the moment, he agreed to it.

"In addition, I will try my best to persuade Cao Mengde to rebel in the Han army camp."

As Queen Yu spoke, it seemed as if she had everything in her hands, as if everyone in the world was at her mercy.

"In order to win over Goguryeo, Gongsun Du will definitely protect you and me. But in the future, we will inevitably have to give up benefits to Gongsun Du, or even become his vassal."

"If we can keep Cao Cao in Liaodong and use him as a helper of Goguryeo, and use him to check and balance Gongsun Du, then Gongsun Du's interference in Goguryeo will be reduced. This is really a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy!"

Gao Yanyou had no ideas of his own on anything and just did whatever Queen Yu said.

"It's just that Cao Cao..."

When he said this, Gao Yanyou's masculine instinct still made him look towards the queen's arms.

"What? Are you feeling disgusted?"

Queen Yu opened her buttocks openly and said, "When I was your sister-in-law, why didn't you think about enjoying the taste for a while when you did something dirty with me?"

Gao Yanyou's face trembled for a while, but he finally withdrew his gaze. He could only wait for news from the Queen, and at the same time sent a message to Gongsun Du in Xiangping City!
……

Inside Xiangping City.

The scenery here is completely different from that outside the city.

The brazier burned for a long time, baking the palace that Gongsun Du built for himself into an extremely dry state with almost no moisture.

All the ministers of Yan State gathered together, drinking warm honey water and wine, eating hot pot brought from the Central Plains, and appreciating the dance with flames in the center. It was like a scene from heaven on earth!
Gongsun Du lay sideways on the lap of a plump woman, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he tapped his hands slowly.

"What more could one ask for with such a beautiful scenery?"

Perhaps he was sighing over the first half of his life, or perhaps he was just expressing his feelings, but his words caused a round of flattery from the officials of the State of Yan.

"Destiny is with Yan!"

"The Han army came all the way to Liaodong, but they were still trapped by heavy rain and had no way to deal with Liaodong City?"

"That's right! The Mandate of Heaven for the King of Yan is the orthodoxy from offering sacrifices to the heavens. The Han Dynasty is conquering the King of Yan for no reason, which is a taboo of heaven, so they will not win!"

"..."

Gongsun Du's enthronement as king undoubtedly made the Liaodong gentry more cohesive and united.

Now seeing that the Han army was trapped outside the city, he was even more delighted and did not take the Han army seriously at all.

Just as the ministers were flattering him, a personal soldier suddenly rushed to the center and knelt on the ground!
There was singing and dancing.

This sudden incident also shocked the ministers who had been flattering him just now, and they thought that something had gone wrong with the city defense.

"Your Highness! Just now, Goguryeo King Gao Yanyou sent a letter saying that the surrender was just a false surrender. Now he has figured out the Han army's deployment and requested the King of Yan to go out of the city to attack the Han army!"

"Humph!"

When they heard that it was just a secret letter from the King of Goguryeo, all the officials of Yan State were delighted.

Only Buyeo King Jian snorted coldly.

"What do you mean by false surrender? He is clearly changing sides. Seeing that the Han army cannot capture Xiangping, he resorted to such a trick!"

Goguryeo was strong before, and its enemies included more than one person.

Immediately, all the ministers of Yan State laughed: "King Buyeo! Don't take it seriously! It's meaningless to talk about such things! We must always give the other party some face, right? Hahahaha!" The laughter came one after another, and even Gongsun Du grinned and chuckled at this moment.

Even a fool could see what was going on in Gao Yanyou's letter.

but……

Gongsun Du's eyes rolled, obviously thinking about something.

"King Buyeo, I heard you say earlier that there seemed to be some changes in Goguryeo?"

"Exactly!"

Jian Weiju couldn't help feeling happy when he mentioned that Goguryeo suffered a setback.

"When Gao Yanyou and his wife went to war, they left their prime minister in Guonei City. But in the battle of Samsanpu, it seems that nearly 10,000 young and strong men died directly... Now that the news has spread back to the country, how can a mere prime minister suppress it? I'm afraid that after a while, we will get news of the Goguryeo coup!"

Eight thousand young men...

This force would be enough to cause serious damage even to some small counties in the Han area, let alone Goguryeo, which was already sparsely populated?
The Goguryeo nation would be destroyed if it did not stage a coup d'état. As its old enemy, how could Buyeo be unhappy?

But at this moment, Gongsun Du was thinking about this matter from a higher perspective.

Although the Han army still cannot capture Xiangping City, the battle of Sanshanpu undoubtedly tells the world that the powerful Han is still the same powerful Han, and even has the ability to launch long-distance strikes at any time...

Gongsun Du knew that even if he had successfully resisted the Han army this time, the Han army would make a comeback one day in the future.

Striving to preserve every bit of Goguryeo's strength was the most critical factor in Liaodong's ability to resist the Han Dynasty.

Even though Gongsun Du himself disliked Goguryeo, he knew at this time that he could not continue to waste Liaodong's strength.

If a coup really took place in Goguryeo, it would inevitably make the already weak Liaodong even more stretched.

And Gongsun Du was also worried about one thing——

Checks and balances!

In the past, Buyeo and Goguryeo were enemies in the north, but Gongsun Du was not worried that the other side would become more powerful.

But once Goguryeo dies and its corpse is eaten by Buyeo, Buyeo will most likely return to its heyday hundreds of years ago and become a giant that spans thousands of miles!
Such a huge monster was obviously not very friendly to Gongsun Du, the master of Liaodong.

So after analyzing the pros and cons, Gongsun Du stood up from the soft jade couch and stood in front of everyone.

"Gao Yanyou, maybe he is indeed fickle."

"But he came all the way here to participate in my ceremony of becoming the king, and Goguryeo also lost many men in battle for me. I absolutely cannot turn a blind eye to this!"

When Buyeo King Jianwei heard what Gongsun Du said, he immediately became anxious!

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Du stepped forward and grabbed Jian Weiju's hand: "Although I am your uncle in terms of seniority, I always treat you as a brother in my heart!"

"Brother, think about this. If you, Buyeo, fight against the Han army in the future and are defeated and lose many young and strong men, will you let me ignore you?"

"So I hope you can keep the overall situation in mind and put yourself in their shoes. Don't make things difficult for Gao Yanyou and the others at this time!"

Jian Weiju frowned, but at this time, the smart Yan official knelt on the ground: "The King of Yan is really kind!"

"The King of Yan is truly benevolent!"

"..."

Jian Weiju was also inexplicably led into a ditch and put himself in Gao Yanyou's shoes, feeling sympathetic.

"King Yan is right... That's all! Since he is fighting for King Yan this time, I will forgive him this time!"

Jian Weiju's concession made Gongsun Du reveal a triumphant smile on his face.

At this moment, some generals of the Yan army asked whether they should follow Gao Yanyou's strategy and go out of the city to besiege the Han army.

"It's not necessary!"

"As long as it keeps raining, the Han army will eventually retreat. Why should we abandon the lives of our soldiers?"

In fact, what Gongsun Yuan really wanted to say was——

Even though the Han army had been trapped for such a long time, its fighting capacity definitely did not decline to the point where it could be defeated by the Yan army.

But if he really spoke his true feelings, it would probably damage the morale of the Yan army, so he used such a stern excuse.

But even so, he still attracted constant praise from Yan officials, who believed that Gongsun Du was a benevolent and righteous ruler...

……

"General Cao!"

Queen Yu called out in a charming and charming manner.

"Why don't you do it yet?"

"Now, as long as you defeat the other Han armies and gather their troops, you will be able to gain a foothold in Liaodong."

"When the time comes, you, Gongsun Du and Yuan Tan will divide Liaodong into three parts and each of you will be king. Isn't that better than the current situation?"

On par with Gongsun Du and Yuan Tan.

This is the highest position that Queen Yu can think of.

But at this moment, Cao Cao's face was ashen.

Who was he ranked alongside when he was in the Central Plains?
That is to be compared with Yuan Shao! And Yuan Shu! And this group of Central Plains heroes!
But now, Cao Cao is put together with Gongsun Du and Yuan Tan?
This woman... is really too insulting!
