Chapter 142 Proposal

"Lord, Mr. Tian Feng's letter", an iron guard handed a note to Li Zhong.

"Order the whole army to gather immediately," Li Zhong said to an officer beside him. The officer nodded and retreated from the order.

"Lord, what's going on?" Wang Yue asked.

Li Zhong shook his head and then said, "Mr. Tian Feng said that Jin Feng had escaped." "At this time, it's a good thing. Why the lord?" Wang Yue asked doubtfully.

"Jin Feng still has 100,000 troops in his hands, which is a big threat to us. We must beat them, otherwise our estimated life will be difficult in the future," Li Zhong said with some concern.

Wang Yue nodded as if he didn't understand and was not talking.

"Lord, the army has been assembled," Cao Xi came to Li Zhong and said respectfully.

"It is said that the whole army should return to the camp," Li Zhong said. Cao Xing nodded, saluted Li Zhong, and then trotted away.

"Let's go," Wang Yue nodded.

Then more than 20,000 troops went east with 300,000 grain and grass.

After these days of war, Li Zhong's original 30,000 people have left more than 20,000 people left. Especially when he attacked the Goguryeo camp yesterday, the casualties reached more than 8,000, of which nearly 6,000 were killed. In the final analysis, the Third Army of the Second Army are all recruits and lack of experience on the battlefield. .

Lejin, who was far away from the city of Marudu, only symbolically attacked the city of Marudu, but he let Han Zhong lead the cavalry battalion of the Third Army to sweep the villages and towns within 100 miles of Marudu. Now Goguryeo is full of fear and panic.

"Your Majesty, we should go to the domestic city in the east to avoid the edge," a civil official said cautiously.

"Fart", a Goguryeo general shouted, and then saluted Jin Wuming: "Your Majesty, what Li Wentao said is purely cowardly, and the last general doubts whether he has received the benefits of the Han people."

"You, you spit people in blood," Li Wentao was very angry. Unexpectedly, his words caused the general so much anger and quickly defended.

"Okay, shut up," Jin Wuming slapped the case and shouted loudly.

The two stared at each other and then retreated into the column.

"What do you think," Jin Wuming looked at Li Li and said.

Li Li pondered for a while, and then said, "Your Majesty, I think thatwan du must not be lost.wan du is a barrier to the east. Oncewan is occupied by the Han people, the whole territory of Goguryeo will be under the threat of the Han soldiers."

"What Lao Chui said is very reasonable. As far as I said, if there is anything to abandon the city and disturb the heart of the army, they will be killed without mercy," Jin Wuming said solemnly.

Your Highness's ministers were stunned and then said loudly, "Your Majesty's order."

"Okay, that's all for today. You stay," Jin Wuming shouted.

After shouting, a group of ministers withdrew from the hall, and only Li Li stood still waiting for Jin Wuming's call.

"Come with me," Jin Wuming looked at the humerus minister and felt a little relieved.

"Yes, Your Majesty" immediately followed.

The two ministers strolled in the garden of the palace.

"Huixiang, do you think I'm old?" Jin Wuming said with some emotion.

"Your Majesty has lost confidence," Li Li frowned and asked.

Jin Wuming shook his head, and then took out a note from his arms and gave it to Li Li.

After a while, Li Li finished reading it, and he was more shocked and angry. "Your Majesty, how could General Jinfeng be defeated so easily? I, Goguryeo, is in danger," and his face was very worried.

"Oh," Jin Wuming sighed and said, "Daixiang, do you think we were wrong at the beginning?" He was referring to the looting of Youyan.

Li Li shook his head and then said, "The big man used to be like a sleeping tiger, but now they are afraid they have been woken up by Li Zhong." After saying that, he shook his head with a wry smile.

"What do you think we should do?" Jin Wuming's face showed a hopeful look.

Li Li thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I think it depends on how ambitious Li Zhong is." He wisely expressed his inner thoughts.

"What do you say," Jin Wuming asked.

After saluteing Jin Wuming, Li Li said, "If Li Zhong's heart is a minister, your majesty should send an envoy to the Han Dynasty to discuss peace. If Li Zhong's heart is a king, your majesty should send someone to Li Zhong to beg for peace," Li Li Li shook his head and sighed.

After hearing this, Jin Wuming was very shocked and asked, "Why did you say that?" "Didn't your Majesty see the Youzhou army so tough and not afraid of death? Dare to ask your Majesty, who in the Han Dynasty army can be so fierce?"

Jin Wuming nodded and then said, "In terms of the current situation, what do you think we should do?"

Li Li shook his head and said, "Weichen can't say it's good either." "But it doesn't matter." Jin Wuming waved his hand.

"Yes", "At present, I only hold high 100,000 troops in the hands of General Jinfeng, 20,000 defenders in Wandu, and about 70,000 troops in the east and south. According to the news from the secret agents, Li Zhong has a total of 300,000 troops, 140,000 in Goguryeo, and the remaining 10,000. In addition to their losses, now he There are still more than 100,000 troops in Goguli. Does your majesty think we can win?

In the past, Jin Wuming would have nodded without hesitation, but now that he has experienced these wars, he understands how fierce the enemy is. Almost every battle is defeated, and he almost loses confidence.

Jin Wuming shook his head helplessly and said angrily, "Our army has lost more than 150,000 troops when it fought with the Youzhou Army, but the Youzhou Army has not exceeded 30,000. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would not have believed it anyway."

Li Li nodded and said, "I don't know what your majesty plans to do."

Jin Wuming sighed helplessly: "In the past, I hoped that I, Goguryeo, could hold the ox ears of the north and rise in this white mountain and black water, but less than ten years later, I, defeated Dahan, Wozui and Sanhan one after another to have the current situation." Speaking of this, Jin Wuming only felt surging in his heart. Excited, "But the reality has poured cold water on the widow, and the invincible army of the widow was defeated again and again by Li Zhong's child," "Ah"!

"Your Majesty doesn't have to do this," Li Li was worried.

Jin Wuming waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not so fragile," Li Li was relieved.

"If Li Zhong wants to be a king, he must fight with the army of the Han Dynasty. Although the Han Dynasty is now a thin mountain, the thin camel is bigger than a horse. I believe that my grand hegemony in those years can still be realized, and my Goguryeo will also rise," Jin Wuming said unwillingly.

Li Li's old bones behind him were also very excited and said to Jin Wuming, "Your Majesty is very true, but I'm afraid that I, Goguryeo, will only have this chance, either succeed or."

"Do you want to destroy the country?" Jin Wuming said with a blank face.

Li Li nodded helplessly, "Your Majesty, please make a decision."

Jin Wuming took a look at Li Li and then said, "Tomorrow, I will prepare to make an envoy to Li Zhong and make peace for my widow." After that, he left without looking back.

Li Li looked at Jin Wuming's back and sighed. He knew that Jin Wuming chose the former.

Early the next morning, Youzhou Junwandu camped.

"General, are you attacking the city today?" Lejin nodded and said, "Order the former army, the left army battalion, and the cavalry battalion to fight with me." "Yes, general."

Before the messenger ran out of the tent, an officer came to the tent and hugged Chao Lejin and said, "General, a man came at the door and said that the Goguryeo messenger wanted to see the general."

Le Jin was stunned and immediately said to the messenger, "Wait a minute" and "Go and bring him in."

After a while, Li Li came to the big account alone.

"Li Li, the prime minister of Goguli, has met the general," Li Li's not humble nor arrogant Chao Le made a salute.

Le Jin hugged him and said to an officer beside him, "Go and bring a chair here."

"Thank you, General," Li Zhou said.

"I don't know what happened here," Le Jin asked expressionlessly.

Li Li got up and said, "General, on behalf of King Goguryeo, I want to make peace with General Li Zhong. I wonder if the general can take me to see General Li Zhong."
