Chen Chu's relevant orders were transmitted to Yanzhou and Liaodong through Feige. Then the Northern Expedition Army of the two places began to prepare secretly. Tian Feng, who was responsible for the internal affairs of Liaodong, secretly sent envoys to Goguryeo, Fuyu, and Nansan according to Chen Chu's orders.

The prefect of Liaodong County City.

"Tian Feng, what do you think of my elder brother's order mean?" Zhang Fei looked puzzled. Guan Yu on the side also had the same expression.

Tian Feng twisted the long beard under the jaw and smiled and said, "I guess the lord is planning to use troops to the Central Plains!"

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu looked at each other, Zhang Fei slapped his thighs suddenly and said loudly: "That's great! I, Old Zhang, have been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Guan Yu thought, "The lord ordered us to secretly transfer the army to Youbeiping County. I guess he wanted us to attack Youji from the north. Did the lord want to attack Cao**?"

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "The lord should be asking us to attack Youji, but the lord's direction in this battle may not be Cao **!"

"Oh, where will Mr. Yuanhao think the main attack direction of this battle be?"

Tian Feng shook his head slowly, "I don't know!"

At this time, Zhang Fei buzzed and said in a buzzing voice: "Will you know what you do if you guess what you do?"

Tian Feng and Guan Yu looked at each other and smiled. Guan Yu smiled and said, "Yide is right!"

Tian Fengwei frowned and said, "I am just worried that things in Liaodong will not be as expected!"

Zhang Fei raised his thick eyebrows and slapped his chest and said loudly: "If those barbarians dare to jump, I, Old Zhang, will flatten them!"

Tian Feng smiled and clasped his fists at Zhang Fei and said, "General Yide is so heroic!" Zhang Fei laughed.

After Zhang Fei laughed, Guan Yu asked Tian Feng in a controversial tone: "Mr. Yuanhao, should we suggest that the lord expand his army in Liaodong?"

Yuan Hao asked back: "Chang Yun is worried about a change in Liaodong in the future." Guan Yu nodded and said: "A deal can never restrict these barbarians' behavior!"

Tian Feng thought, "The reason why the lord asked Chief Yun to disperse the Liaodong Army and supplement it to various legions some time ago was actually considering the issue of military expenditure! As far as I know, the current military expenditure of our army is quite huge. The huge amount of wealth from Meiwu was consumed back then! And now many aspects are in a mess! The hole is very big!" Tian Feng shook his head with a wry smile.

After a pause, Tian Feng continued: "But Chang Yun's suggestion is not unreasonable! Let's ask your lord for instructions!"

Next, the three discussed some military and internal affairs issues, and then Guan Yu and Zhang Fei left the prefect's mansion and returned to the camp outside Liaodong City.

At the same time, the Second Corps stationed in Liaodong is replacing defenses with the Seventh Corps. The Seventh Corps will be responsible for the defenses of Xuantu County and Liaodong County, and the Eighth Corps will still be responsible for the defenses of Lelang and the two counties, while the Second Corps and 20,000 elite troops of the First Corps will be transferred to the Youbeiping area.

The three envoys from the Northern Army arrived in Fuyu, Goguryeo Marudu and Nansan Han among the four Koreans.

In Fuyu, King Fuyu personally went out of the palace to welcome the envoys of the Northern Army with the highest etiquette. Fuyu, who had been defeated by the Northern Army, was particularly surprised by the arrival of the Northern Army's envoys. Before this, they were very worried that the Northern Army would lead the army north to attack their Fuyu after capturing Xuantu County.

After a long talk in the palace, Fu Yu promised to pay tribute every year and signed an offensive and defensive alliance agreement with the envoy. However, some twists and turns occurred in the process. The national teacher Yadushi fiercely opposed signing an offensive and defensive alliance agreement with the Northern Army, and pointed to the face of the envoy of the Northern Army and cursed: "Will you hungry wolves let us Fu Yu go after you eliminate Goguryeo?" Fu Yu was furious and ordered the guards to invite the National Teacher Yadushi out of the palace. If others did this, Fu Yu would definitely order someone to kill him on the spot. Afterwards, Fu Yu got off the seat and bowed to the envoy of the Northern Army and apologized. The envoy said it was okay, and the matter seemed to have passed.

At midnight that day, several black shadows emerged from the inn where the Northern Army lived and headed straight for the National Master's Mansion of Yadusi.

In the Three Hans, the mission of the envoy of the Northern Army was also smooth. The other three Hans, who had long been secretly dissatisfied with the fact that the Mahan family dominated, quickly bowed to the Northern Army and signed an offensive and defensive alliance agreement with the secret envoy of the Northern Army.

Compared with the success of the above two places, the envoy who went to Goguryeo Maruto encountered some trouble. His appearance not only did not make the originally tense relationship between Goguryeo King Li Yuantuo and the eldest princess Li Muqing even more tense, but instead made these two forces temporarily abandon past grudges. The entire Goguryeo's attention seemed to be shifting to the Northern Army.

After another day of fruitless negotiations, the envoy returned to the inn with his tired body. At this moment, hundreds of Goguryeo soldiers were surrounded by, nominally, envoys who protected the Northern Expedition Army, but actually monitoring him.

"Sir, have there been no progress today?" the young deputy envoy asked worriedly.

The messenger nodded and couldn't help but sigh.

The deputy envoy said in confusion: "I really don't understand why this originally tense situation suddenly calmed down."

The messenger smiled bitterly, "I guess we have let them temporarily abandon their past grudges!"

The deputy envoy asked in confusion: "How could this be?"

The messenger said: "Mr. Tian said before, 'Li Yuantuo is a hero, and Li Muqing is also a powerful character who is as good as a woman!' Now it seems that's true!"

The deputy envoy frowned and asked, "Sir, what should we do next?"

The messenger shook his head and asked, "By the way! Where is Luo Gang?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an inconspicuous young man pushed the door and entered the hall, clasped his fists at the messenger and said, "Sir!"

The messenger's eyes lit up, "Luo Gang, I'm just looking for you!"

Luo Gang smiled and said, "I just left the inn for a while!"

The two were stunned when they heard this, and the deputy envoy asked in confusion: "There are Goguryeo soldiers outside, how did you get out?"

Luo Gang smiled and said, "Landing operations and hiding whereabouts is a skill that our intelligence office must master!"

The two nodded and the messenger asked, "Luo Gang Where did you go just now?"

Luo Gang said: "I have contacted the intelligence agency staff in Marudu City!" As he said that, he took out a short note from his cuff and handed it to the messenger, "Sir, this is what the intelligence agency staff lurking in Marudu has handed it to me, you can see!"

The messenger quickly took the short note and opened it. His eyes showed a slight surprise. He turned his head and said to the two: "This is Lord Tian Feng's handwritten letter!" Luo Gang nodded and said: "This is what the Liaodong side passed on to this through Fei Ge!"

The messenger then read the note carefully and his brows became even tighter. The deputy messenger couldn't wait to step forward and asked, "Sir, what did Lord Tian Feng say?"

The messenger said in a deep voice: "According to the intelligence of the Intelligence Agency, the Goguryeo people may want to be unfavorable to us! He also believes that our stay here will only make the two forces in Goguryeo unite to the outside world, so it is recommended that we get out of Maru as soon as possible!" The deputy envoy changed his color slightly.

At the same time, Goguryeo King Li Yuantuo discussed matters with his confidant old minister and the national teacher in the inner palace of the palace.

"National Master, Qing'er wrote to him to remove the Han envoys immediately. What do you think?" Li Yuantuoyang asked with the letter in his hand.

The national master thought, "The eldest princess seems to be trying to force His Majesty to fight against the Han people with her!" Li Yuantuo nodded thoughtfully.

The old prime minister snorted coldly, "Although the eldest princess is a daughter, she is not inferior to any man in a scheming way. Who knows whether the real purpose of her move is to target the Han people or His Majesty?"

The national teacher couldn't help but frown. Although he affirmed his judgment, he had to admit that the old minister made a very reasonable point.

Li Yuantuo frowned and asked, "What do you think of the old minister?"

The old minister clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister believes that we cannot have disputes with the eldest princess now, nor can we break up with the Han people!"

Li Yuantuo smiled bitterly and said, "Old minister, you want me to step on the steel wire!"

"Your Majesty, what the old minister said is extremely true! We can only respond to all changes with the same change now!"

Seeing that the national master said the same thing, Li Yuantuo couldn't help but sigh and nodded, "Okay then! Just do as the two Qings say!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" The two of them bowed together. Li Yuantuo couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

At midnight that day, a crescent moon hung high in the hollow, and the streets and alleys of Marutou City were hidden in the heavy twilight. There was no pedestrian. The breeze blew through the treetops and made a creepy sound of killing from time to time. Occasionally, unknown birds made a terrifying sound of screaming.
