After some longing, Li Yunchong's thoughts returned to the country. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Marquis Zhuge Wu only had the power to launch the Northern Expedition and help the Han Dynasty. But in our family, well, although the position of the Queen Mother is relatively stable, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us, overtly or covertly."

"The current Li family is like sailing against the current. If we don't advance, we will retreat. This time we attack Liaodong, we must win. If the defeated army goes back, I'm afraid the earth will shake."

Thinking of this, Li Yunchong shook his head and cheered up. He returned to the tent, took out the map and placed it on the coffee table. He lowered his head to study the map.

"Yangwucheng."

This map is densely populated with Goguryeo and the strongholds that the Meng Yuan Dynasty refused to defend. They are so dangerous that the city of Yangwu is surrounded by water.

But Wu Nian in Yangwucheng is like a flag that never falls and a pillar holding up the sky.

The real special code is too tenacious.

Thinking of Wu Nian, the Liaodong tiger, Li Yunchong felt hot all over his body, his patience was greatly lost, and it was too difficult to deal with.

Li Yunchong felt her mouth was dry, so she couldn't help but raise her right hand and tugged on her collar. She then stood up, picked up the kettle, poured herself a bowl of water, and drank most of it in one go, which made her feel better.

"I hope Pu Mingshan's harassment will be effective this time."

He thought secretly in his heart.

"Da da da." The rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded. Li Yunchong raised his head and looked at the tent door, not taking it seriously.

A soldier broke in from the outside, like a bereaved mother, he threw himself on the ground, knelt on his knees, put his palms on the ground, raised his head and said in fear: "General, something bad has happened. Come to report to me. Pu Mingshan

The general was defeated and beheaded by Wu Nian. Five thousand of his men were either killed or surrendered."

"Wu Nian attacked Shanning City. The defender Li Huiyuan abandoned the city and was ambushed on the road. General Li committed suicide and three thousand soldiers and horses were captured by Wu Nian."

Li Yunchong's eyes bulged, and he stood up suddenly, his chest was turbulent, as if there was a mouthful of blood that was about to spurt out.

But this mouthful of blood did not spurt out. As a result, his body felt like it was on fire and it felt like there was a big stone in his chest.

"Bump." Li Yunchong sat back, unable to breathe for a long time, and his eyes gradually became bloodshot and bloodshot.

"General. General, what's wrong with you?" The soldier lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Yunchong. He didn't get a response for a long time and couldn't help but look up. Seeing Li Yunchong's appearance, he was shocked and turned pale. He stood up hurriedly and hugged Li Yunchong's hand.

body and patted Li Yunchong's back with his hands.

This is really life saving.

The big stone in Li Yunchong's chest seemed to have been smashed into pieces. He finally breathed, and his livid face gradually returned to rosy.

But physical recovery does not mean that he has recovered mentally.

Li Yunchong felt as if his head had been hit hard, and he felt drowsy. He raised his hand and pushed the soldier away, then sat down and put his hand on his head. It took a long time before he gradually woke up.

Li Yunchong sighed: "Pu Mingshan harmed me. I regret not listening to Zhao Mancheng."

After a while, he raised his head and said to his soldiers: "I am sending an order to all the generals in the military camp to come and discuss this."

"yes."

When the soldier saw that Li Yunchong had recovered, he couldn't help but exhale and went down. Li Yunchong closed his eyes and then opened them. His eyes flickered.

This is a critical moment and I must not fall.

The generals of Goguryeo were scattered all over Guangyang, and it was difficult to gather them together at the same time. The generals currently in the camp arrived very quickly.

A total of six generals galloped over on horseback, entered the tent, and paid homage to Li Yunchong.

Li Yunchong asked them to sit down first, then raised his head and glanced at Zhao Mancheng before telling everyone the news.

After everyone heard this, their expressions changed drastically. Even Zhao Mancheng, who opposed sending troops, suddenly stood up and said angrily: "This idiot Pu Mingshan. Let him lead five thousand elite soldiers to harass and destroy Wu Nian's crops. It has only been a few days."

, Wu Nian took over all of it."

Li Yunchong sighed and said, "Pu Mingshan deserves to die. But I am guilty of letting him send troops."

Having said this, Li Yunchong stood up and saluted the generals with clasped fists.

"Don't dare."

"General, you don't have to do this."

Zhao Mancheng and other generals were caught off guard and quickly returned the salute with clasped fists.

Li Yunchong sat back and said: "The army is defeated and the generals are gone. I will apologize to the court when I go back. But this will happen later. What should we do now?"

"Wu Nian is already a caged tiger. He breaks out of the cage and fights his way out. He now has two cities that feed off each other. Even if he sits still and manages them, he can still fight steadily."

"If the invasion is like fire, I am afraid that our soldiers and horses scattered in dangerous points, strongholds, and cities will be defeated by him one by one."

One misstep leads to eternal hatred.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

Everyone was silent for a moment, only feeling that the front was dark. But no matter how dark it is, you still have to live. They lowered their heads and began to think.

Li Yunchong's eyes fell on Zhao Mancheng, showing hope. He hoped that this wise and courageous general could come up with a way to make amends.

Zhao Mancheng lived up to his expectations, raised his head and clasped his fists at Li Yunchong and said: "General, now we have lost the opportunity. There are only two ways. Either unite with the Meng Yuan people and start a decisive battle with Wu Nian. The winner will be decided. In addition, send someone back to the country.

We will mobilize more elite troops here."

"Either. We immediately gather our troops, leave Liaodong immediately, cross the Yalu River and return to the country."

"If we hesitate, I'm afraid we will all die here."

The hope in Li Yunchong's eyes disappeared, replaced by hesitation.

Or a decisive battle.

Or run away.

What two simple paths. But neither is a good path. What if the decisive battle is lost? Although there are nearly 200,000 soldiers in Goguryeo, these 50,000 soldiers are the best of the best. What if they all die in Liaodong?

Goguryeo's national power will be greatly damaged.

The status of the Li family will definitely be shaken.

If they run away now and go back in despair, the status of the Li family will also be shaken. And with Wu Nian next to him watching eagerly, will they be able to go back smoothly?

It was such a momentary pleasure to cross the river that I couldn't go back.

Li Yunchong was hesitant between these two roads. Gritting his teeth, he said: "Give me the order. Let the generals in each department get out of the dangerous place and the county seat. Let's gather together first so that we won't be defeated one by one."

"Then we'll decide whether to leave or fight decisively."

Li Yunchong's decision was not firm enough.

Zhao Mancheng was a little disappointed, but the military order was overwhelming. He quickly cheered up, bent down and clasped his fists in salute, saying, "Yes."

Following Li Yunchong's order, the messengers in the camp spread out like spider webs, and the troops scattered in the mountains began to gather on horseback.

At the same time, the news spread rapidly to the ears of the Meng Yuan people and back to Jiang County, Yingqing Prefecture.

It's like a drop of water dripping into a hot pan of oil.
