Xue Zi and his brother were rescued by Zhang He's army and returned to their original hometown Fuli County.

However, at this time the family was destroyed and the relatives had died. The siblings and brothers had become orphans. Fortunately, his sister Xue Zi was seventeen years old this year and was old enough to not only take care of her five-year-old brother, but also set up a household on her own.

The court distributed daily necessities and a sheep for each person. The siblings received two of them. These supplies were enough for the siblings to spend this winter. However, after the spring next year, each household would have to produce on their own and could not continue to rely on the court's subsidies.

Although the siblings are independent, there are no adult males and they can share the fields. However, before the Xue family suffered a disaster, they were merchants in Fuli and did not work in farming, so Xue Zi did not know how to cultivate them. Seeing that the fields they were assigned were helpless.

The five-year-old brother is not yet at the age of thinking about things, and only his sister Xue Zi is worried. Will you learn how to farm slowly after the spring of the next year? Will the things planted in the first year support the siblings themselves?

Anyway, Xue Zi doesn’t have much confidence in herself.

Coincidentally, the new scholar came to Fuli County and issued a recruitment for teachers to teach. No matter whether they are male or female, they can go to the academic affairs department for examination and application. Once admitted, they will be given the same teaching identity as a scholar. At the same time, they can receive two hu of rice, grain and one piece of bread every month.

When Xue Zi saw this list, her eyes lit up. One hu of rice and grain was enough for an adult man to have a full meal for a month. If she gets two hu of rice and grain every month, wouldn’t she not have to worry about food and clothing?

Xue Zi then went to apply for the job. Fuli County had just passed the disaster. Although there are more than 3,000 people now, most of them are women and children. There are only about 200 adult men, and there are almost no literate people. No one expected that Xue Zi would successfully apply for the Fuli County School Administration and the Ministry of Education as a daughter, responsible for teaching students who are assisted in Li County.

This day also opened Xue Zi's future legend.

No one expected that two and a half years later, the students were still in the third imperial examination in the court, and they passed the imperial examination, and were awarded the scholar and the juren. They finally passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom as a woman, starting another legend of a woman who became an official in the cabinet after Queen Guo.

...

In Xiangping City, Liaodong County, Zhao Yun received the imperial edict from Liu Yu and immediately summoned all the generals to order the troops.

Two days later, Zhao Yun led 60,000 Han troops to fight from Xiangping City, passed Xuantu County, invaded Goguryeo, and pointed directly to the capital of Wandu.

At this time, Goguryeo was in chaos.

In the palace, the King of Goguryeo cursed in panic: "Why did the Emperor of Han suddenly send troops to attack me, Goguryeo? What are the sins of Goguryeo? Why can't I beg you to scold me? I Goguryeo must have confessed my guilt and repent, and I dare not violate it."

It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be like this.

Since the history of Goguryeo, the reason why we have tirelessly provoked the Han Dynasty and occasionally took over the territory of the Han Dynasty was because of the Han Dynasty's habit of being polite first and then military.

According to the thoughts of King Goguryeo, if the Han emperor believed that Goguryeo was guilty, he would definitely issue an order to scold him first. At that time, Goguryeo would immediately confess his guilt. Regardless of whether the Goguryeo people think they are really guilty, their attitude of confessing guilt would be impeccable. Even if the Han emperor ordered the King Goguryeo to go to Chang'an City for trial, Goguryeo would also go.

Goguryeo would make it impossible for the Han Dynasty to no longer have any idea of ​​sending troops to attack Goguryeo.

If the Han emperor is strong, Goguryeo will endure for 10 or 20 years. When the contemporary Han emperor is bullied, the next generation of Han emperors will ascend the throne. The Goguryeo country has few people and limited power, which is far from enough to compete with the Han Dynasty, but Goguryeo is definitely able to tolerate and calculate.

In history, Goguryeo has lasted for nearly seven hundred years, from a semi-nomadic tribe with a population of only more than 20,000 to its peak period, with a population of more than 3 million and more than 300,000 armoured soldiers. It was only after decades of war between the Sui and Tang dynasties that it perished. This is the reason!

"King, the Han army has now entered, and the most urgent task is to stop the Han army."

"While king, you can send a general to lead troops to resist, and while writing to the Han emperor to apologize and ask the Han emperor to withdraw his troops."

King Goguryeo nodded.

Immediately, General Gao Huiyan was sent to lead 17,000 troops to defend the enemy, and to hold back the Han army's pace as much as possible, so as not to let the Han army's too fast soldiers reach the city of Wandu.

At the same time, the King of Goguryeo sent an envoy to Chang'an City, submitting the Han emperor to apologize and requesting the Han emperor to withdraw his troops.

In order to hurry, Goguryeo envoys rushed to Chang'an City almost day and night. Unfortunately, Goguryeo is four or five thousand miles away from Chang'an City. Even if you are desperately rushing, it will take at least half a month, and it will take at least one month to pass the results back to Goguryeo.

The order that King Goguryeo gave to General Gao Huiyan was to delay the Han army for one month as much as possible. According to King Goguryeo, if Gao Huiyan could delay the Han army for one month, even if the Han army attacked the city of Marudu, it would be enough to hold on to Chang'an City and send back the news.

This is too difficult for Gao Huiyan. Zhao Yun had 60,000 elite Han troops, but Gao Huiyan only had 17,000 Goguryeo soldiers, less than one-third of Zhao Yun's Han troops. Besides, the Han soldiers were well-equipped and strong in combat, and the comprehensive strength was not at the same level. There was no need to think about frontal resistance. They could only rely on other methods to delay the Han army's offensive as much as possible.

What kind of strategy should be chosen to stop the Han army? Gao Huiyan was undecided.

This delay took more than a day without any movement, and the Goguryeo King from Maruto almost changed his opponent.

The Han army was as powerful as a bamboo shoot and soon reached a place less than a hundred miles away from Marudu City. If they did not resist, they would have to go directly to Marudu City.

Gao Huiyan could not continue to be undecided, so he decided to fight an ambush first.

He and his deputy general Pu Xiyong each led a team of Goguryeo soldiers to ambush the narrow road of Wangtian Mountain.

Han army.

The sixty thousand elite Han army was definitely the power to crush the Goguryeo country, not to mention that Zhao Yun was the most powerful general who led the troops. Not to mention that Gao Huiyan was just Quan Jiannan, Jin Chunqiu's military general was far inferior to Zhang Liao. Even Lu Bu at the peak, he did not have the strength to rely on 17,000 Goguryeo soldiers to block the offensive of Zhao Yun's sixty thousand elite Han army.

Of course, the Han army's vanguard was only 10,000 people led by Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun and other 50,000 main forces were twenty miles behind. Otherwise, Gao Huiyan would not dare to ambush. Even if he was ambushed, Gao Huiyan would have only about half an hour.

Zhang Liao's ten thousand Han army vanguards arrived, and Gao Huiyan gave an order.

"Kill!" The Goguryeo soldiers first shot a rain of arrows, shooting more than a hundred Han soldiers to death. Then Gao Huiyan, Pu Xiyong led his army to rush down from left to right, and wanted to rely on the sudden ambush and attack left and right to cause chaos in the Han army, and then quickly defeated the vanguard of Zhang Liao and Han army.
