    It was a few days later that he learned that Goguryeo rejected his offer to surrender and instead invited Baekje to help.  When Huang Mingyuan first heard the news, he was extremely angry and laughed instead.  People often say, "If you don't hit the south wall, you won't look back, and you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River." But Goguryeo didn't look back even if it hit the south wall, and it won't give up until it reaches the Yellow River.

    Although Baekje is a small country, it fights all year round and can pull out 200,000 troops even with all its efforts.  If Silla interferes again, I am afraid that it will be able to pull out more than 200,000 troops.

    Although Huang Mingyuan had previously hoped that the three parties would form a tripartite confrontation on the Korean Peninsula, it was not impossible for the three parties to unite and jointly fight against the Sui Dynasty.

    If this is the case, the Sui army will definitely be forced to the west bank of the Yalu River.

    For Huang Mingyuan, if the fortified city of Pyongyang is not enough, it is also a way to attack Goguryeo with lightning speed, and then stick to Pyongyang to confront Baekje and Silla.

    But no matter what, you have to win this one first.

    Huang Mingyuan decided to continue south and advance the main battlefield to the Sashui line.  If Goguryeo is really destroyed, occupying Pyongyang City first is the top priority.

    Huang Mingyuan also ordered Zhou Fashang to lead the Zhou Division troops and the Zuowu Guards from the Yalu River southward along the Korean Peninsula to attack Pyongyang City.  Then cut off the Xu River to prevent the Goguryeo and Baekje coalition forces from escaping south.  Pyongyang City is located south of the Li River, and Huang Mingyuan is prepared to prevent the Goguryeo and Baekje coalition forces from returning to Pyongyang.

    At this time, Huang Mingyuan made up his mind to defeat the captives, and there were constant disputes among the Goguryeo army.

    First, Wen Da led the remnants of his troops to flee back to the south of Yalu River. The entire army abandoned their helmets and armor and was in a state of disarray. There were only less than 30,000 elites out of 80,000.  Although everyone has various speculations about Wenda's whereabouts, and many people even believe that Wenda has been wiped out, but these are just speculations and there is no evidence.

    "But Wen Da's escape back without troops or generals still surprised everyone.

    With 80,000 elite troops, two fortified cities, and countless food and equipment, could they not stop the Sui army for even a month?

    Suddenly, in the hearts of the Goguryeo people, the Sui army became a scourge.

    Afterwards, Huang Mingyuan sent people to recruit him to surrender, and everyone was delighted.  If we take this opportunity to reconcile with Sui Dynasty, we can avoid this disaster.  However, Huang Mingyuan asked Goguryeo to hand over all the areas west and north of the Yalu River to the Sui Dynasty, and then compensated a lot of materials and money.

    Gao Yuan was determined to regain Liaodong, how could he be willing to accept this kind of alliance under the city?

    At this time, Baekje agreed to Goguryeo's request and sent an army of 100,000 to assist Goguryeo.  Gao Yuan was overjoyed and suddenly became hard-headed again.

    In addition, the Goguryeo nobles in the country, because of their own interests, opposed the abandonment of Buyeo City, Guangeong Fortress and other places, and kept urging Gao Yuan to fight again. Therefore, Gao Yuan rejected Huang Mingyuan's envoy and gave up his last chance to save the country's destiny.

    At this time, Ulji Mundeok was still unaware of Gowon's decision. He was overjoyed when he heard the news that the Sui army was willing to make peace.  God-given opportunity, the Sui army gave them a chance to repair.  In Eulji Wende's view, the Sui people were too powerful. Even if they defeated the Sui people, they would not be able to seize the opportunity to take over the Central Plains. Instead, they would drag Goguryeo itself half to death.  In this case, it is better to rest and recuperate, accumulate strength, destroy Baekje and Silla first, then integrate the power of the three countries, wait for the civil strife in the Central Plains, and then plot against China, in order to have a chance of victory.

    But this group of arrogant Goguryeo people put face and personal interests more seriously than the sky, and have no overall perspective at all.  Allowing them to give up their interests in exchange for the Sui people's retreat would be harder than reaching the sky.  This time the Sui envoys came, no matter what the reason was, Goguryeo could finally withdraw from this war with dignity. No matter what the Sui Dynasty requested, Goguryeo would actively strive for it.

    Of course Eulji Mundeok knew that in order to end this war, Goguryeo would definitely pay a heavy price, but can these be compared with the demise of Sajik?

    Eulji Mundeok kept working for several days without rest, and wrote a reform plan after the war. He planned to take advantage of this defeat, which would greatly reduce the power of the domestic aristocracy and the rise of the power of the common people, to carry out state power reforms and strengthen the central government.  Centralize power, enrich the country and strengthen the army.

    After ten or twenty years of rest, when a new generation grows up, Goguryeo will always have a chance to rise again.

    Eulji Mundeok went to Ondal excitedly with his reform plan.  As his traditional ally, Onda is also a reformist, and Wenda holds military power. If the reform does not go smoothly, he can stabilize the situation in Pyongyang if necessary.

    Eulji Mundeok, who was looking happy, was just about to tell Ondal about his reform ideas. Ondal, who looked shabby, said: "General Eulji, you know that the king has expelled the Sui envoys and is preparing to fight with the Baekje army.  Let¡¯s fight against the Sui army together?¡±

      Eulji Wende¡¯s smile froze on his face.

    Fight against the Sui army?  What does Goguryeo use now to fight the Sui army?  It's really a joke to fight against the Baekje Army. Is the combat power of the Baekje Army comparable to that of Goguryeo?

    "General Wenda, this must not be done. Now we finally have a chance to have a truce with the Sui army. If we continue to fight, Goguryeo will be doomed. Follow me to the palace and stop the king no matter what."

    "late!"

    Wen Da shook his head and said helplessly: "It's too late. The king has already expelled the Sui envoys. He has returned to tactics and ordered that those who are afraid of the war will be executed. Now Dou Fangji and others are already arranging the troops.  Horse."

    Eulji Munduk froze there, showing a painful expression.  As the judge of the Ministry of War, Dou Fangji has been preparing troops and horses, but he doesn't even know the news about the king's challenge. It's not that he is too slow, but that others don't see him at all.

    Eulji Wende walked back a little lost. What can he say now?

    At this time, On Dal stepped forward and grabbed Eulji Mundeok and said eagerly: "General Eulji, it was Doubangji and other traitorous ministers who ruined the state affairs. The king still trusts the general. The king cannot live without the general, and Goguryeo cannot live without the general."  . This battle with Huang Mingyuan is related to the national destiny of Goguryeo. If we are defeated, Goguryeo will be destroyed. General, you must not be discouraged."

    Ulji Mundeok forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, General Wen, Ulji Mundeok can't be defeated."

    Eulji Mundeok was silent for a while and then said: "At this point, we don't have many choices. Although the Baekje people are helping us, the odds of winning this battle are at most 30%, which is very difficult. I have always had a plan.  After thinking about it over and over, it still hasn¡¯t taken shape, and now that the time has come, I have no choice but to take it out.¡±

    On Dal looked at Eulji Munduk and felt happy.  Eulji Mundeok is resourceful, and maybe he actually has a way to win this battle.

    Eulji Mundeok asked Ondal to follow him home.  When he arrived at the study, Eulji Munduk opened a secret compartment, took out a letter from it, and handed it to Onda.  Wenda didn't know what Ulji Munduk meant, so he took the letter and looked at it, and found that it was a letter from Huang Mingyuan to Ulji Munduk.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
