Chapter 384: Queen's Ambition
Soon, the news that the 20,000 troops were all massacred came into the palace of Maruntu, which immediately caused a huge panic. Although I knew that the soldiers of Dayan were very strong, I didn’t expect that the 20,000 people would be wiped out so quickly and were all massacred, which means that Dayan was serious this time.
Originally, the palace planned to temporarily suppress the news, but the development of the matter surprised them again. Shortly after they received the news, the people of Marutou also learned about the news. It was obvious that someone was pushing it, and the city of Marutou became in chaos in an instant.
In the main hall of the Goguryeo Palace, Gao You sat on the throne, looking at the minister below, especially the middle-aged man with long beards and high hats on the left, sneered: "Gu and Lu, now Hunmi has been killed and a thirty-one army has died tragically. Don't you want to say anything?"
After Gu Jia's face was startled, he quickly replied sadly: "King, all this I have done is for me, Goguryeo, for the king!"
"For my king, haha" Gao You laughed and said with a desolate face: "I am stupid, but can you still recognize the facts. Do you think I don't want Goguryeo to be independent and self-reliant? But there are only a few people in Goguryeo. The Great Yan recovered Wuhuan, pacified Liaodong, and defeated the Great Han Sikong Cao Cao. Not only did he have hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, but he also had the brutal Wuhuan soldiers as his minions. When the general's 30,000 troops were completely eliminated, I knew that I could only endure silently and wait for the opportunity, otherwise I would be completely eliminated. And you were still illusions and put all the queen and Moe Lu who advocated peace talks. Now I, Goguryeo, have no last capital. At most, this afternoon, the Great Yan's army will go straight to Wandu from the Lujiang River and destroy my Goguryeo."
Hearing this, Gu Jia was sweating profusely and replied: "Don't worry, Master, Marudu City is extremely solid, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are still five thousand soldiers stationed in the city, which will definitely stop Dayan, and I, Goguryeo, have hundreds of thousands of people as a backing."
After Gao You was stunned, he immediately said angrily: "Gujia, do you want me, Goguryeo to be completely exterminated?"
Gu Jia's pupils shrank, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "King, I am loyal. Even if I want to surrender, I cannot surrender without fighting. If this is the real end of Goguryeo."
"King, what I said to Lu is right. Dayan slaughtered 20,000 soldiers from Goguryeo. It is obvious that he is completely destroying Goguryeo. At this moment, he can only fight to the death," another official said with a tough bullet.
After a glance, Gao You suddenly shook his head in disappointment, waved his sleeves heavily and said, "If you want to fight, go and fight! Anyway, I can't command a soldier."
"King, I am willing to coexist with Marudu. The king still seized the opportunity that the Dayan army had not arrived, and quickly left Marudu, retreated to Woju, and summoned all the troops from all over the country to block Dayan." Gu Jia suddenly said anxiously.
"Don't think about it." Gao You roared when he heard this, "Mo said to Lu at the beginning, don't start a war. Even if it starts, you must stick to the city. You are self-righteous and do not know what to say. You want to use a great victory to kill the queen."
"I won't go anywhere."
After Gao You finished speaking angrily, he left with a few eunuchs.
"To Lu, can this be done?" An official said anxiously when he saw this scene.
Gu Jia touched his sweat and said seriously: "Let's talk first. As long as we can hold on for a few days and prove our strength, we may still be able to maintain our position as a person. Otherwise, we will not be killed by Da Yan and will be slaughtered by the demon queen."
"As for the king, when he really arrived, he could only force the king to Woju. There was always a secret passage leading out of the horse," Gu Jia said with a cold face.
"But, Wo Ju can't hold on, either."
"Then let Fuyu send troops to help," Gu Jia said ruthlessly.
"Fuyu" heard this, many officials affiliated with Gujia suddenly showed a hint of surprise. Fuyu is Goguryeo's mortal enemy!
Just when the whole Maru was in panic, in the backyard of the palace, in a luxurious palace room monitored by soldiers, a woman was riding on a handsome man wearing an eunuch uniform, swinging wildly. When the woman raised her head, she saw that it was the Queen of Goguryeo, Zhang Lihua, whose beautiful oval face was full of charm.
Not long after, after the underground man growled, he was unable to lie on the bed and apologized: "Queen, I can't do it anymore."
"Waste" Zhang Lihua heard this and stood up unconsciously, kicked her disdainfully, and said, "Get aside."
"No!" the man responded quickly in fear.
"Queen!" At this time, a female official suddenly ran in excitedly. After looking at the bare man, she ignored it, as if she was almost used to it.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Lihua asked lightly, with a hint of resentment between her eyebrows.
"Queen, I'm so happy! Dayan's army wiped out Hunmi's 20,000 troops. It is estimated that it will arrive in Marudu tomorrow this afternoon."
"Really" Zhang Lihua stood up excitedly. The period of losing power made her life worse than death. As for the lives of the 20,000 soldiers, she did not take it seriously.
"This is what I just heard, and now it's in chaos outside," said the female official.
"Haha, okay, after I take power again, I will definitely let Gu Jia and others bear the most terrible criminal law." Zhang Lihua immediately smiled with hatred.
"But I also heard that Gu Jia and the others wanted to resist, and even planned to escape to Woju."
Zhang Lihua smiled disdainfully and said, "The 20,000 troops have been eliminated, and those wine bags in the Wandu are not the opponents."
"But if the king is taken away by them, your status will be greatly damaged," the female official whispered.
Zhang Lihua frowned, her face suddenly became serious, and she said, "Tell Commander Zhang Peng immediately that the king must not leave. There is a secret passage in the palace leading to the outside. I will go to see the king later. At this moment, the guards outside will never dare to stop it."
"The queen is wise, with the relationship between the queen and Han Taishou, she will definitely be more powerful in the future."
"What is Han Fang? He is just a prefect. After I take the post again, the first thing I do is to go to Yecheng to visit the King of Yan Yuan Xi. He is the master of this world. It is said that he is not only heroic, but also talented and domineering. Only such a man is truly worth relying on." A trace of ambition flashed in Zhang Lihua's eyes.
"The queen is unparalleled, so naturally only a heroic lord can match it." The female official smiled.
Zhang Lihua immediately raised her head arrogantly and said, "Prepare clothes for me quickly."
"promise!"
When Zhang Lihua put on the queen's robe again, she suddenly glanced at the man next to her who had thought it was very delicate, a hint of cruelty flashed across her face and said, "Come on."
The "Queen" and several palace guards immediately walked in.
"Beat this man to death"
"Ah!" The man who had just been with the bed was shocked and hurriedly said, "Queen, I did nothing wrong."
