In May of the 13th year of Daye, the Anhe Palace in Pyongyang City, Goguryeo (Note 1).

The heavy rain in the morning washed the stone path in front of the palace. A man with beautiful beard and gold dressed in gold walked up to the palace on the wet steps.

"Yuan Juesa, the king has an order to unravel the sword here!"

The man swept his eyes and the palace guard immediately felt a stern, took a step back, knelt on the ground, raised his hands with one sword and two swords. The man untied five swords in total and placed them on the guard's hands.

The guard secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Several masters have been waiting in the hall for a long time, so just go straight into the Ancestral Sage."

The man with beautiful beard nodded and strode to the hall. The Goguryeo man was dressed in clothes, shirts, and shirts were sleeves, and the trousers were very large, so he walked with wide robe and big sleeves, and the trousers were swaying. Soon after, the man with beautiful beard came to the Nangong of Anhe Palace, which is the location of the outer hall.

Anhe Palace was built after the Changshou King moved the capital from the domestic city to Pyongyang. Standing outside the outer hall, slowly looking at it, the palaces and buildings paved with green tiles, and the bulging pillars supporting the hall were thick and majestic. The King of Goguryeo ruled the vast kingdom of Silla in Anhe Palace, to Baekje in the south, to the Liaoshui in the west, to the north, to the vast kingdom of Marine, and to the north, and to the vast kingdom of Marine. It has been two hundred years.

However, the beautiful bearded man in front of him snorted disdainfully at the majestic palace. "Correction, decay, seeing that Sui Ting was defeated, he did not want to advance to the Central Plains, but he was content with Dongou. When will I, Goryeo, reappear in the glory of the good King and the King of Longevity?"

When the beautiful bearded man was talking to himself, he heard footsteps coming from behind him. He turned his head and looked. Even though he was always unruly, his face also showed respect from the bottom of his heart.

This man is tall and has a green Luo crown that is capable of being worn by high officials, and the bearded man wears the second-class red crown. The bearded man saluted and said, "Yun Gaisuwen, I have seen Lord Datong Lu."

The other party nodded, put his shoulder on the other party and said, "I have only just realized the death of your father, Brother Taizuo. However, it is a pity that I cannot go to pay my respects in the capital."

Yuan Gaisu said in classical language: "Mr. Yizhi, my father said that dying on a sickbed for a general is the greatest shame. It is also a blessing for our Yuan family to die in battle."

The other party smiled and said, "Brother Taizuo, I am still so proud of the days when I fought side by side with him and the Sui army, but you are not inferior to him. This time, all the rebellions of the martyrs were pacified, which can be regarded as letting the king see your ability. I think it will be possible to return my position to your Yuan family in a few years."

Yuan Gaisu said in classical Chinese: "The position of the Great Lu is below one person and above ten thousand people. My nephew is not a weapon, so I still need Lord Yizhi to take charge. Lord Yizhi was on the bank of Sashui and defeated the Sui army by 1.1 million, which was powerful in the Central Plains. You can guide the war against the west, which is the best thing."

Standing in front of Yoon Gaisuwen, the Goguryeo hero Yizhi Wende, who defeated the Sui army in the Battle of Sashui, is now in the position of Goguryeo's Dalu, equivalent to the prime minister.

Hearing that the other party was going to go west to use troops, General Yizhi Wende frowned and looked at Yuan Gaisuwen. Yuan Gaisuwen, his father Yuan Taizuo and his ancestor Yuan Ziyou, have always been Western Juesa. Western Juesa is one of the five Juesa in Goguryeo. Juesa is equivalent to the chief executive of the Sui Dynasty and the governor of the state.

The west is located in the Liaohe River. Because it borders the Sui River and has been fighting with the Sui Dynasty for many years, the western part of the Jusa ruled the strongest troops of Goguryeo and the various divisions of the Marinha that vassed Goguryeo, which was the strongest of the five divisions of Goguryeo. Therefore, before the Yizhi Wende, the position of the Great Lu was always under the control of the Yuan clan. The Yuan clan was the second only to the royal clan in Goguryeo.

Although Yuan Gaisuwen was the most outstanding general in the younger generation of Goguryeo, he was ambitious and cruel. This time, when Muhe rebelled, his father Yuan Taizuo died in battle. Yuan Gaisuwen took the position of his father to command the army. After defeating the Muhe rebellion tribes, he massacred more than 30,000 chiefs who rebelled Muhe and took his head as Jingguan and erected them in western Liaoning. This action scared the people of Muhe. The other unrebelieved tribes also paid tribute to Goguryeo again expressed their intention of surrender.

Now this young man is ambitious and wants to take advantage of the great victory of the Marxist people to go south to attack the Central Plains. How could Yizhi Wende not frown? He knew that although Yu Gaisuwen's words were asking for instructions from him, even if he did not agree, he could not take him. Because in the Goguryeo country, the position of Juesa was very powerful and had the right to send troops without authorization.

Yizhi Wende smiled and said with great appreciation: "Drinking in the Liao River and trampling south to the Central Plains is my lifelong dream of a man in Korea, and I am no exception. But when I am old, I am afraid it will be difficult to have the opportunity to command hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against the Han people."

Yuan Gaisuwen's eyes were as sharp as a sword and said, "Master Yizhi, it's not too late to say it's too late."

Erichi Wende smiled and said, "The king's meaning is to destroy Silla and Baekje first, advance eastward, defend westward, and then use troops westward. This is also the intention of King Changshou to move the capital from the domestic city of Liaodong to Pyongyang."

"Two hundred years are not too short, but we, Goryeo, have all been waiting for this moment," said Eddie Wende.

Yuan Gaisuwen's eyes thumped and said, "But the Central Plains are in chaos, it would be a pity not to take this opportunity to advance."

Yizhi Wende was silent for a while. Seeing that he could not dispel Yuan Gaisuwen's ambition, he immediately asked: "Do you know Luo Yi, Gao Kaidao, and Li Chongjiu?"

Yuan Gaisu said in classical Chinese: "I have been famous for a long time. As for Gao Kaidao, he is just a bandit, and Li Chongjiu is quite terrifying."

Yizhi Wende said, "Yes, I also think that this person is the Sui general who deserves our attention after Luo Yi. I heard that he had taken away the Western Liaoning Martial Arts from Luo Yi before, and I think there will be a battle between the two. You might as well see the two of them fighting before making a decision. If you can take advantage of this and advance to the Liaohe River, of course I don't mind, and make suggestions to the king and devote the whole country to help you expand Liaodong."

Yuan Gaisuwen was overjoyed when he heard this. Yizhi Wende stopped and said, "Don't be anxious to thank me for it. Remember that the fisherman will benefit from the snipe and clam fight, and we, Goryeo, can only be the fisherman."

"Yes, Lord Yizhi." Yuan Gaisuwen said happily.

Seeing the young general recovering, Yizhi Wende smiled and pulled Yuan Gai Suwen's hand and said, "Let's go, don't make the king anxious. If he wants to know that Li Mi defeated Zhang Xutuo and the destruction of the Sui court is about to be destroyed, he will definitely hold a banquet in the Anhe Palace to celebrate. And Yang Guang, each of us, Goryeo, really wishes that everyone can eat their meat."
