I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 484: Disruption
Guan Najia wanted to go back and discuss with Ming Lindaye and others. Su Yao naturally would not refuse. He agreed immediately and let him go as promised.

To be honest, although Su Yao was often teased as a war criminal by his classmates and friends in the past, he believed that he was definitely not a person who killed indiscriminately.

If you can achieve your goals at the negotiation table, there is no need to go through the trouble of doing it yourself, one by one.

Especially now that it is almost March and the war in Liaodong has lasted long enough, he does not want Goguryeo to become a quagmire for him. He must solve the problem here as soon as possible and return to Beijing to get married and see Emperor Ling for the last time.

As for doing so, wouldn't that mean Ming Lindaye's life would be wasted?

That really meant nothing to him.

Who is Ming Lin Daye?

It's just a common face from a small country that you've never seen before.

Although Wuluga and others described him as a heinous criminal, he had no conflicts with this person at all. It would be better to say that if Ming Linda was not a troublemaker, he would not have the opportunity to mess with Goguryeo so easily.

Therefore, Su Yao, who was eager to end the war with Goguryeo, emphasized one more sentence when seeing off Guan Najia:
"I can give you time, but you only have one chance - within three days, I want to see a clear answer to this matter."

"If you fail to satisfy me in three days, my army will continue to attack the city until your city of Goguryeo falls and each of you is put on a prisoner cart."

"Three days?!"

Guannaga exclaimed.

This really didn't give him any time.

Now they are still on the road in the mountains. It will take about three days for the Han army to reach the mountain city of Marudu.

These Han people really don't want to waste any time.

However, he also knew that this was probably the best condition he could get at the moment, so he nodded in agreement:

"The governor is wise. We will do our best to persuade the people in our country and live up to your high expectations."

After the meeting, Guan Najia and the deputy envoy left the entourage behind, rode fast on horseback, and hurried back to the royal city, reporting the situation truthfully to Ming Lindaye.

After hearing this, Ming Lindaye almost threw the cup. His face looked gloomy and uncertain. Finally, he decided to hold an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures with his ministers.

There were different opinions at the meeting. Some people advocated resisting to the end, while others were inclined to accept the conditions and avoid unnecessary sacrifices.

Ming Lindaye sneered in his heart. These people really talk without any concern.

The Han people dismissed me and sent the prime minister. I would definitely be the one who was closely watched and it would be impossible for me to turn the situation around.

By then, these peace-loving people will be familiar with domestic affairs and can seamlessly transform themselves into new aristocratic families.

A world appeared in which only my Minglin family was hurt.

This is really unreasonable! ! !

"Enough!" Ming Lindaye slammed the table, interrupting the ministers' argument. His eyes flashed with determination, and he had obviously made a decision.

"Goguryeo has never surrendered before! Those Han people are just relying on their numbers to bully Goguryeo, which has no people."

"As long as we are united and share the same hatred for the enemy, we will be able to defend the capital and make that Su retreat!"

The ministers looked at each other, some showed approval, while others frowned.

Heng Naga was the first to come out and express support:

"What Mo Lizhi said is absolutely right."

"Our Marudu Mountain City is strategically located, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and has sufficient troops to guard it. As long as we make full use of this advantage, strengthen the city defense, and remain vigilant, the Han army, which is only about 10,000 in number, is no match for us."

"Defense may be able to hold up for a while."

Guan Najia stood up and frowned:
"But with the fall of Zuoyuan and Shitoucheng, and the upper and lower reaches of Yantan River (today's Hunjiang River) have been seized by the Han army. They could have just settled down there to farm and station troops. If we only rely on the land around the capital for a long time, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for too long."

More than half of the country was occupied, and the biggest problem it brought was the reduction of arable land, which caused the capital to lose a lot of food supply. This was also the reason why they expelled a large number of the elderly, the weak, women and children.

Without enough food, it would be extremely difficult for them to hold out for a long time.

The blow to military morale caused by famine would sooner or later destroy their defenses.

At that time, they would have no way out.

This was also the reason why Qiannaga had to send troops north to defend the Stone City at that time.

Now that these two places have been lost, it is natural for the ministers to tend to surrender.

Unless there is a way to turn the offensive around and drive out the Han army, being trapped in the capital will only mean slow death.

"Humph!"

Ming Lindaye snorted coldly:
"You don't need to worry too much!"

"There will definitely be a time for a counterattack. Our reinforcements will give them enough trouble."

"Reinforcements?!"

"Is it the reinforcements from Goguryeo?"

The three-day deadline was up, and Su Yao at the foot of Marundu Mountain did not wait for Goguryeo to surrender, but instead received information that an army from the north was approaching Shitou City.

This greatly surprised Su Yao.

Is there any Goguryeo that has escaped the net?

"No, it's not the reinforcements from Goguryeo that are coming."

Zhao Yun had a confused expression on his face while reporting:

"The people who came claimed to be troops from Buyeo, saying they were here to help the Han Dynasty quell the rebellion, but they burned, killed and looted along the way, and they seemed to be planning to take over Stone City."

The Buyeo Kingdom has arrived.

This is the so-called reinforcements of Ming Lindaye.

He knew that Buyeo would not help him, so while he was sending envoys to Su Yao to seek peace, he sent people to leak some domestic situations to the Buyeo people.

The Buyeo people, who had already mobilized and were ready to take action after discovering that Han Gao had declared war, finally took the bait.

Under the pretext of aiding the Han Dynasty, they invaded the northern territory of Goguryeo that had been recovered by Su Yao and approached Stone City, hoping to gain as much benefit as possible from this battle.

In their view, most of the northern territory of Goguryeo was seized from the Buyeo people by the Goguryeo people in recent years, and it was reasonable for them to send troops to recover it.

That’s right, the vast territory to the north of Goguryeo at this moment was the territory claimed by the Han Dynasty, Goguryeo, and Buyeo.

All three have historical dominion over it.

Ming Lindaye’s idea is very simple. Since I can’t recover that territory, I will never let you Han people get it.

As a result, the Buyeo people were easily instigated.

Apart from the Stone City, that territory is still under the self-governance of the local Goguryeo tribes. Now that their troops have been withdrawn, how can they withstand the premeditated attack of the Buyeo people?
Immediately, within just a few days, large tracts of land in the north fell.

The Buyeo people even used this as an excuse to seek rewards and control over the Stone City.

"There is no direct land route between Shitoucheng and Han territory, but it is a necessary place for our country to help the upper country attack the rebellious Goguryeo."

"Therefore, please allow me to take charge of this place temporarily, General."

"That's what the Fuyu people said." Zhao Yun held his forehead and said.
