At the ninth day of the fifth day, Yizhi Wende arrived at the Dading River battlefield. However, he was still one step late. Just when he was planning to cross the river overnight to rescue Quan Baicao, who was fighting on the north bank, Li Wuji and Gai Bao heard the evil news. Quan Baicao's troops were completely wiped out and the enemy had begun to retreat across the board.

Yizhi Wende was shocked and angry. He over-understood the enemy and caused his side to suffer heavy damage. This was his mistake, but he did not believe that the enemy still had strong combat power. Killing one thousand enemies will cause 800 damage to himself. Even if the enemy has an absolute advantage in military strength in battle, he will fight continuously and kill all the encirclement and annihilation battles. The great losses can be imagined. Therefore, he believed that his "both losses" strategy had been successful. Next, as long as he firmly drags the enemy and puts the enemy in a dilemma, he can seize the key points of the enemy's food and grass, and give the enemy a fatal blow.

Yizhi Wende ordered all troops to cross the river overnight and set up a decisive battle on the north bank of the Dading River, without giving the enemy a chance to breathe.

On the 10th day of May, on the morning of the 10th day of May, the King of Qi accepted the persuasion of Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan and others, raised the king's flag to inspire morale and also intimidate the Goguryeo people.

Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng tried their best to dissuade him, saying that this was an Antonian's conspiracy. The purpose was to use the King of Qi as bait to firmly attract the Goguryeo army in the Dadinghe battlefield and create better opportunities for Li Fengyun to attack Pyongyang. This plan looked good, but the King of Qi used as bait to the Goguryeo people was too tempting. Once the Goguryeo people came and came overwhelmed, it would be very unfavorable to the King of Qi's safety.

The King of Qi was a little hesitant, and after repeated refusal to reject Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng's advice. At this moment, the war had entered a critical moment, and the arrow had been rolled on its string and had to be fired. Once it went back on its word, it would trigger internal conflicts and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yizhi Wende was very surprised when he heard the news. He immediately crossed the Dading River and went to the front line to observe the enemy situation.

Previously, he judged that the enemy troops that were raiding for a long distance were commanded by the famous Middle-earth general Xue Shixiong. If the facts exceeded his imagination, the enemy commander was actually the King of Qi in Zhongtu and the only legitimate son of the Middle-earth Emperor. The situation was far more serious than previously estimated. His side must immediately make a new assessment of the battle situation and come up with new countermeasures.

After Yizhi Wende verified the enemy situation, he immediately ordered the attack to suspend his attack and defend with all his strength. At the same time, he summoned the generals of the commanders of various troops to urgently report to King Gao Yuan, Gao Jianwu of Pyongyang and Jiang Yiwei from the Yalu Water Defense Line.

The Goguryeo army did not attack, and the Middle-Turkish army was of course happy, and it easily won breathing time, which was too precious for the exhausted Anton soldiers.

On the tenth day of May, Li Fengyun led the selection of the horse army to the city of Pyongyang. Pyongyang was shocked and frightened.

Gao Jianwu realized that the situation was critical. Now, Liaodong, a major western city in Goguryeo, Wugu Zhucheng is surrounded by the enemy. Jiang Yiwei and his Western Front defenders were firmly restrained by the enemy on the Yalu River line by the enemy, while Yizhi Wende and Qingchuan defenders were restrained by the enemy who were raiding from a long distance on both sides of the Dading River. In this unfavorable situation, Pyongyang, as the rear, had a serious defensive power. But at this critical moment, the enemy gathered Donghu, and the enemy's tens of thousands of horse soldiers rushed to the city of Pyongyang, and gave Pyongyang a fatal blow.

Gao Jianwu made a decision on the spot and took advantage of the enemy's complete surround of Pyongyang, and sent several envoys to Chang'an and Qingchuan to call the police to the king Gao Yuan and Yizhi Wende respectively.

Gao Jianwu has no confidence in sticking to Pyongyang. At present, Pyongyang is not only insufficient defensive power, but also surrenders and rebels are also ready to move, especially the rebels, who are hiding deeply. Once they turn against each other or mutiny in front of the battlefield, Pyongyang will lose. Therefore, Gao Jianwu warned Gao Yuan to strengthen the defense of Chang'an City, especially be careful of internal rebellion, and not be careless about being taken advantage of by the snatcher. He also begs Edge Wende, if you want to reverse the crisis, you can only defeat your opponent on the battlefield of Dadinghe. As long as you defeat this enemy army that has been raided from a long distance, you will surround the enemy horse in Pyongyang.

If the army loses support, it will definitely be rescued. Therefore, Gao Jianwu made suggestions to Yizhi Wende, and fought hard at all costs, even if the Qingchuan defenders were defeated, it would be spared. After all, the enemy's "critical" is very obvious, and his own chances of winning are very high. The current competition between the two sides is time, and the enemy lacks time. Therefore, Gao Jianwu promised Yizhi Wende that he would be sure to defend Pyongyang in the short term, and ten days and half a month would not be a problem. The enemy could not hold on for ten days and half a month in the face of a serious shortage of food and grass weapons. Victory must belong to Goguryeo.

However, Gao Jianwu never arrived anyway, and his beautiful wish to stick to the "ten days and half a month" was shattered on the first night when the enemy surrounded Pyongyang.

On the evening of the tenth day of May, Hu Yanjian, An Beihai, who had disappeared for a long time, walked into Li Fengyun's military tent.

At the beginning of the year, Hu Yanjian and other secret soldiers and the Five Hundred Heavenly Wolf Cavalry Guards, under the order of Li Fengyun, disguised themselves as the guards of the Lite caravan. Under the leadership of Lite's master Antel, they traveled a long distance to Goguryeo and entered Pyongyang City without any danger. Soon, Zhongtu began to attack Goguryeo for the third time, and the war started to rise again and the way back was cut off. Antel's caravan had to stay in Pyongyang, so they successfully completed the lurking mission.

Now they finally hoped that Li Fengyun and An Dongjun would attack Pyongyang with their internal and external forces.

After a brief greeting between the two sides, Li Fengyun asked straight to the point and bluntly, "As early in the year, I said that whether your trip can successfully complete the task directly determines the survival of Andong. Now, I have arrived as promised, and can you tell me that you have successfully completed the task?"

Hu Yanjian and An Beihai looked at each other and nodded at the same time. However, their eyes showed hesitation and worry, which made Li Fengyun's heart suddenly hang up.

"The mission has indeed been completed?" Li Fengyun asked again.

"Brother, we have indeed completed the task, but..." Hu Yanjian hesitated for a moment and continued, "It's just that the result is quite different from the Ming Gong's expectations."

Li Fengyun frowned, and he had already guessed something in his thoughts, "What's the solution?"

"Gao Yuan's uncle Gao Ling was once a Goguryeo envoy and rushed to the desert tent several times, so he met Antel and had interests in both sides." Hu Yanjian said, "The key to our mission is this Gao Ling."

Li Fengyun understood it and immediately asked, "Did Gao Ling take the initiative to find Antel, or should Antel actively lobby Gao Ling?"

An Beihai immediately replied, "The two sides tried in advance and hit it off."

Li Fengyun nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What are the conditions for Gao Ling?"

"Save your family and stay in the country." Hu Yanjian said concisely, in four words, bluntly, it is to preserve the Goguryeo Kingdom and preserve the fundamental interests of the Gao royal family, which is completely contrary to Li Fengyun's expectations. Li Fengyun's expected goal was to destroy Goguryeo, slaughter the Gao royal family, and completely erase the Goguryeo clan.

Li Fengyun smiled, smiling coldly, which made Hu Yanjian and An Beihai secretly panic.

"Why should Gao Ling believe in someone's promise?" Li Fengyun went straight to the "critical point".

Hu Yanjian remained silent. When An Beihai saw that Hu Yanjian had no intention of speaking, he had to bite the bullet and said, "Because of Anton's survival."

Li Fengyun's eyes showed doubts.

An Beihai continued, "Ming Gong devoted all his strength to Anton to attack Goguryeo, and he could only win but not lose. If Anton lost, he would be finished. Ming Gong was wasted all his previous efforts. Ming Gong led his army to attack for a long distance. The fatal key was that he had a serious shortage of food and grass weapons. He could only fight quickly and could not delay. If he could not decide for a long time, he would definitely lose. Therefore, Gao Ling was sure that Ming Gong would agree to his conditions and would fulfill his promise."

Li Fengyun nodded. Gao Ling was in Goguryeo and was highly trusted and relied on Gao Tang and Gao Yuan and his son. If such a person wants to surrender, no one can stop Pyongyang, but there will be gains and losses. It is precisely because Gao Ling was in Goguryeo, with great power and strong strength that he has the "capital" to preserve Goguryeo.

At this point, Li Fengyun had no choice. First, he needed to take Pyongyang in the shortest time and get the food and weapons in Pyongyang City. Then Andong's army could persist in the Dadinghe battlefield and achieve the final victory. To do this, he could only cooperate with Gao Ling. If he betrayed his faith, both sides turned against each other and fought. Gao Ling used both ways to burn both jade and stone in despair, and the consequences were unimaginable. In the end, even if Li Fengyun "laughtered the last time", Andong might not get the best benefit as he wished. Once Andong's army suffered heavy losses, it is unknown whether he could escape the calculations of the Saint Lord and the Central and fight out of Yuwen Shu's four sides. What's more serious is, what should Andong do next? The war between the North and the South is about to begin, and where will the dying Andong go?

After weighing the trade-offs for a long time, Li Fengyun asked, "How should Gao Yuan deal with it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the nervous and nervous Hu Yanjian and An Beihai immediately breathed a sigh of relief. When Li Fengyun compromised, the matter was easier and the situation became clear.

"Goguryeo has reached its end. As the king, Gao Yuan must bear all the guilt." An Beihai said, "but Gao Ling proposed an unnegotiable condition."

"What conditions?" Li Fengyun sneered, "Does he still want to save Gao Yuan's life?"

"That's not, Ming Gong was worried too much." An Beihai smiled, "Gaoling's condition was that he would fight Chang'an City and Gao Yuan would arrest Gao Yuan, and then he would send Gao Yuan to the Middle Earth Emperor to apologize. As for Gao Yuan's life and death, it would be decided by the Middle Earth Emperor."

"This is clearly to save Gao Yuan's life." Li Fengyun shook his hand, "This condition cannot be agreed."

An Beihai hesitated for a moment and said, "Ming Gong, Gaoling has another additional condition."

"This Gao Ling is amazing. He guessed that he would not leave Gao Yuan's life." Li Fengyun said disdainfully, "What additional conditions are there? What other means can Gao Ling threaten someone?"

"During the Sashui War, the Goguryeo captured about 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers from Middle Earth." An Beihai said, "In the past two years, 10,000 or 20,000 have died due to injuries and other reasons, but more than 50,000 prisoners are still struggling to death among the poor mountains and rivers of Tutai Mountain. The additional condition for Gaoling is the life and death of these 50,000 Middle Earth prisoners."

Li Fengyun showed his murderous intent and waved his hand without thinking, "Promise him and agree to all the conditions of Gao Ling."
