Goguryeo's hinterland
Pyongyang city
As the capital city of Goguryeo, even though it only had twenty thousand soldiers, the prosperity of the city was not something a fortress like Liaodong City could compare to!
There were many peddlers in the city, and the flowers were red and green!
At this moment, these ordinary Goguryeon citizens were aware that a 30,000-strong army was rushing toward the city!
……
The capital of the city was divided into two cities, the outer city was mainly inhabited by ordinary people such as traders and merchants!
Apart from the Goguryeon officials and nobles, there was a massive, majestic palace-like building in the center of the city!
It was none other than the Goguryeon Palace where the King of Goguryeo resided!
And at this moment, the singing and dancing in the Goguryeo palace did not stop because of the Great Sui's invasion!
Ever since Yang Guang's failure in his first expedition to Goguryeo, the King of Goguryeo had assumed that the Great Sui was nothing more than this!
He even looked down on Great Sui from the bottom of his heart!
In addition, Emperor Yang Guang had once again returned empty-handed, causing the King of Goguryeo to look down on the Great Sui!
At the same time, just as the Goguryeon King and the other ministers were admiring the Goguryeon dancers who were dressed so shirtless that they were barely hanging on their clothes, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the hall!
The heavy footsteps had undoubtedly caused the Goguryeon King's good mood to instantly vanish. He waved his hand, signaling for the dancers to leave!
Soon after, the King of Goguryeo turned to the general who had rushed in and interrupted his mood with a displeased expression.”
"Great King, something bad has happened!"
General Piao couldn't care less about the coldness in the King of Goguryeo's voice as he anxiously said!
"Why is this king in trouble?”
The Goguryeon King's face turned cold as he stared at the general with his murky eyes. If he didn't give him a satisfactory answer, this general would definitely be in deep trouble!
At the same time, General Piao could not care less about the coldness in the Goguryeon King's tone and immediately explained,"Your Majesty, thirty thousand Sui soldiers have already crossed the Yalu River and are rushing toward the city of Luoyang!”
"What?!"
"Didn't they say that the Sui army had already retreated?”
"Moreover, is that Utchi Wende a fool? He actually let the 30,000 Sui soldiers cross the Yalu River and head straight for the city of Peking!”
Hearing this, the cold expression on the Goguryeon King's face instantly crumbled, and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes!
No matter how much he looked down on Great Sui, the 30,000 Sui soldiers were real!
Moreover, that Yizhi Wende actually allowed the 30,000 Sui soldiers to cross the Yalu River safely. So, what did that Yizhi Wende mean?
Could it be that he wanted to see the capital of Goguryeo fall and the King of Goguryeo captured by Great Sui?
Then, he would be able to inherit the throne of Goguryeo?
"Men, order Yizhi Wende to lead an army of 50,000 to reinforce the capital immediately!”
The Goguryeon King coldly ordered the commander.
"Your Majesty, since General Yizhi Wende did this, he might have…"
Hearing this, the general below hurriedly explained, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by the cold gaze of the King of Goguryeo!
"What's wrong?"
"Could it be that this king's words are not as effective as his Yizhi Wende?”
The King of Goguryeo was already suspicious of Yichi Wende because he did not stop the Sui army, and now that he saw the general speaking up for Yichi Wende, the King of Goguryeo began to suspect Yichi Wende!
As the saying goes,'the greater the merit, the greater the master.' In Goguryeon, Eulji Munde was a wargod level existence!
This was especially true after Yizhi Wende was plotted against by Emperor Yang Guang during his first expedition to Goguryeo. He drowned the 300,000 soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, causing his reputation to be second only to the King of Goguryeo!
In fact, his reputation in the army was even higher than that of the King of Goguryeo!
The scene in front of him caused the Goguryeon King's heart to turn cold!
He had a feeling that Yizhi Wende might have colluded with the Great Sui, wanting the Sui army to break through Luoyang and capture him so that Yizhi Wende could successfully ascend the throne!
Seeing the killing intent in the King's eyes, the general did not dare to say another word!
He even had a feeling that if he said one more word, his head might fall to the ground in the next moment!
"I didn't expect that the king would doubt General Yizhi Wende's loyalty!”
"However, is there really no problem with General Yizhi Wende?”
At this moment, even the general started to doubt Yizhi Wende!
After all, in his eyes, Eji Wende was the War God of Goguryeo. Yet, his War God had allowed his enemy to lead his army into the Goguryeo Empire's heartland. This was undoubtedly equivalent to shattering his faith!
This made the general suspicious of Yizhi Wende!
