"Peacekeeping is the best strategy." Yizhi Wende finally spoke, "Working and harmony, taking two steps, and doing his best to achieve the best result."

"What is the best result?" Gao Yuan asked sternly, "Will you surrender to the city or to cede land and seek peace?"

There are only two results of peace negotiations. One is the worst result, to surrender the city and preserve the race, but Gao Yuan and his followers will definitely be destroyed; the other is the best result, to cede land to seek peace, and to protect the kingdom with cede land compensation. Gao Yuan and his followers still have a great chance of continuing to take power. However, under the current situation, Gao Yuan is in internal and external difficulties and is attacked from both sides. Even if another miracle is created on the battlefield and repelling the Middle-Turk army again, the internal crisis is difficult to resolve. At this moment, under the pressure of the country's destruction, splitting is inevitable. Gao Yuan's political enemies will never miss the opportunity to overthrow him. They will even openly collude with the enemy and sell the country in the name of the preservation race, surrender to Middle-Turk, and use the power of Middle-Turk to attack Gao Yuan inside and outside. Therefore, Gao Yuan had no choice but to fight to the death. For him, peace negotiations are a dead end, no matter how good or bad the result is.

"Don't be too pessimistic," said Yizhi Wende quietly. "Judged from the known military situation, so far, Zhongtu has not yet increased its troops, and the best time for Zhongtu to invade us is in late spring and early summer. Once delayed, they will not have enough time to attack Pyongyang. So if nothing unexpected happens, Zhongtu's invasion forces this year should be basically the same as last year. If this is true, Zhongtu has no advantage in military strength, and we can set up defenses at all levels according to the established strategy, block the enemy's troops at all costs, and hinder and delay the enemy's attack speed. As long as the enemy is dragged into winter, the battle situation will be beneficial to us and the situation will inevitably reverse. In this way, we have a great possibility to win the success of peace negotiations at the minimum cost."

As soon as this statement was spoken, Gao Yuan was greatly inspired and immediately asked, "What is the minimum price?"

"King, we have Husizheng and tens of thousands of prisoners of war in our hands, and these are the goals that Middle-earth must be won." Yizhi Wende said, "At the beginning of the war, we were at a disadvantage, and negotiations would definitely be unfavorable to us. Instead of being passively humiliated, it would be better not to talk, concentrate our efforts on the battlefield and fight bloodily. When we gain an advantage on the battlefield and Middle-earth is in a dilemma, we will take the initiative to propose peace and propose the return of Husizheng and tens of thousands of prisoners of war as the only condition for peace negotiation. After all, for Middle-earth, instead of working hard to return empty-handed, it is better to accept the conditions for peace negotiation, and at least there is some gain."

Compared with surrendering the city, ceding land for peace, and just returning tens of thousands of prisoners of war to Zhongdi to return the escaped Hus Zhenghe to Middle-earth, it can end the three-year war on the battlefield. It is indeed the smallest price for Goguryeo, a shocking joy, and an unprecedented victory.

This was exactly what Gao Yuan meant, so he nodded repeatedly, turned his eyes to Gao Jianwu and asked, "What's the point?"

Gao Jianwu complained. What kind of countermeasures is this? Isn’t this a fight? You, Wende of Yizhi, said that China and Tu will not increase troops this year, but what is the basis? You, just imagine and make a simple guess, and speak vernacularly. Without definite news, you make such irresponsible judgments. What is your intention? You are still fighting to the end and refusing to surrender.

Gao Jianwu was determined to object, but seeing Gao Yuan, Yizhi Wende and Jiang were determined to fight to the end with a small attitude, and did not make any compromise at all, he was helpless and had no choice but to do anything.

"If this strategy is to be realized, the premise is that we must firmly block the enemy at least after the rainy season, that is, before the end of July." Gao Jianwu hesitated for a long time, looked at Edge Wende and Jiang Yiwei, and solemnly asked, "Can the two generals make a guarantee? If they cannot make a guarantee, we must immediately send an envoy to Huaiyuan, negotiate first, touch the details of the Middle-earth people, and use negotiations to find ways to delay and hinder the enemy's attack. At the same time, this move will also have a certain effect on easing internal conflicts in Pyongyang, which can give those who are in despair and on the verge of collapse, and to a certain extent, help all parties in the royal court work together to the outside world."

Gao Jianwu also insisted on his own opinions and firmly demanded peace talks.

Gao Yuan made a quick decision and made decisive decisions, fighting and negotiating.

Gao Jianwu was responsible for the negotiations and immediately sent envoys to Huaiyuan. Yizhi Wende was responsible for the defense of Pyongyang and Yalushui east. Jiang Yiwei immediately rushed to Wugucheng and directed the towns west of Yalushui to strictly guard the death.

"King, the war is coming, will you ask Su Moe for help?"

Gao Jianwu's question was not answered, and neither Gao Yuan nor Yizhi Wende and Jiang Yiwei hesitated.

The year before yesterday, the battle was unprecedentedly fierce, and Goguryeo was in an unprecedented crisis. Sumo and Mary did not fear retreat at the critical moment, and kept their promises. Sumo, Huiba, Baishan, Bodu and other tribes sent troops to help. In the battle of Sashui, they even went to the front line and fought side by side with the Goguryeo army.

However, last year, the situation changed, and Zhongtu attacked again, and Goguryeo could not create another miracle, and once again defeated the strong with the weak. Moreover, it had already declined sharply under the destruction of war, so Sumo Mirth's idea changed. Not only did hesitate in support, he was still determined to move forward, but he also had ambitions and greed. He intended to take advantage of the fire when Goguryeo was defeated. However, God favored him, the Middle-Turkey army hurriedly evacuated due to a sudden rebellion in the country. Goguryeo saved his life, and Sumo Mirth failed to do so. The relationship between the two sides was therefore backward and they were highly wary of each other.

The situation this year is even worse for Goguryeo. In this unfavorable situation, will Sumo Mie still fulfill its promise to send troops to support? Let's take a step back, even if Sumo Mieo Mie agrees to send troops to support, Pyongyang will not be able to give full trust. Once Sumo Mieo Mieo turns against the battlefield and takes a shady move behind the scenes, Goguryeo will be completely finished.

Seeing Gao Yuan, Yizhi Wende and Jiang Yiwei were speechless for a long time, Gao Jianwu knew it very well, so he warned carefully, "Even if we cannot pull them over, we cannot let them turn to Middle Earth. Therefore, we would rather pay some price to let the West River watch the fire across the bank than turn against them, push them into the arms of Middle Earth and become accomplices of Middle Earth."

This sentence reminds Gao Yuan, Yizhi Wende and Jiang Yiwei.

"Under the current situation, it is unlikely that Sumomilius will quickly fall to Middle-earth. After all, they have a grudge against Middle-earth, and the Middle-earth people will not trust them, and they will not be reluctant to cooperate with them." Jiang Yiwei sneered, "Of course, it is impossible to expect Sumomiliusi to send troops to support us. If nothing unexpected happens, Sumomiliusi will still be in the river of war, sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight, and just waiting for the right time to rob the fire."

Yizhi Wende stroked his long beard and nodded slowly, "Now we are attacked by the enemy from both sides, Central Earth invaded the west, Silla and Baekje Bian in the east. If Sumori turns against each other again and falls along the Yalu River, we will be attacked from three sides. In this way, if we fight on three sides, our troops will be too scattered and we may lose all three sides. Therefore, what the Prime Minister said is quite reasonable. Even if we cannot pull Sumori, we cannot make it our enemy. For this reason, it is worth it even if we pay some price."

Gao Yuan pondered for a long time, unwilling to accept it, and was very angry, "What is the price to feed those evil wolves and let them watch the fire across the river?"

Yizhi Wende hesitated for a moment and said, "The key is not the price, but the development of the war. If we can block the invasion of Middle Earth at the Yalu Water, then after the rainy season, the situation will gradually benefit us. Sumori will not dare to advance, so we can only watch the fire from the other side of the river, and we can only continue to maintain the covenant with us. The price we paid for maintaining the covenant is very small, at most we can only give some food and grass weapons. On the contrary, the situation is bad, and we need Sumori to send troops to support us, and we need them to go south to Liaodong City and Wugucheng to attack the food routes of Middle Earth. For this reason, we have to pay a considerable price."

Gao Yuan became angry as soon as he heard this.

The meaning of Yizhi Wende is very straightforward and one must be prepared for the worst. In times of crisis, the ally of Sumo Miche can still be used.

For Sumori, survival is the top priority. In order to survive, they would rather be surrounded by Goguryeo, a dying wolf, than by Middle-earth, an invincible tiger, around them. Therefore, as long as Goguryeo offers huge benefits that are enough to impress Sumori, they are still willing to support Goguryeo, help Goguryeo attack or even cut off the food routes of the Middle-earth people. After all, success is certainly gratifying, but if they fail, they will not suffer much loss. The real interests have already been put into peace.

"If the situation reaches that point, what price do we need to pay to get Su Moshi to send troops to support?" Gao Yuan asked coldly.

"The former land of Fuyu." Yizhi Wende said without hesitation.

The former land of Fuyu is a large area of ​​land from Fuyu City to Huifachuan. Since the fall of Fuyu country, Goguryeo and Sumo Mai have fought fiercely for this land, fighting for more than a hundred years. Although they have won and lost each other, Goguryeo still laughed to the end.

"No." Gao Yuan vetoed.

"King, the ceasing of land depends on the object. Different objects, different effects of ceding land, and different future consequences." Yizhi Wende smiled slightly and said slowly, "If the ceasing of land is a powerful Middle Earth, not only will the ceased land be vast, even if we recover our vitality and even develop strongly in the future, we may not have the chance to regain it. On the contrary, if the ceasing of land is a weak ceased Sumo, then the former land of Fuyu is enough to meet their needs. More importantly, as long as we recover our vitality in the future, it will be enough to regain it from Sumo."

Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment, hesitated, and turned his eyes to Gao Jianwu.

The suggestion of Eddie Wende was exactly the same as Gao Jianwu's intention, so he said without hesitation, "King, as long as Pyongyang is safe and Goguryeo is worry-free, the sour and marijuana is not worth worrying about, the native chicken and the dogs are not worth worrying."

Gao Yuan weighed the pros and cons, but said helplessly, "Since that's the case, let's talk to the special envoy of the marshes first, touch the details, and then send an envoy to Huifachuan. Make some promises first, try every means to stabilize the marsheshes, and then give greater benefits according to the situation of the war, so as to win the strong support of marsheshes."
