It is one thing to be able to stabilize the government.

Facing a foreign invasion is another matter.

Strategy and military affairs are two completely different things. At this moment, Li Jinzhu was no different from the civil and military ministers in the hall. He was full of panic and regret.

real.

Li Jinzhu has done many things in his life, some right and some wrong. Sometimes he makes mistakes and kills good people.

But she never regretted it.

Everything is for their own status, listening to politics behind the curtain.

But now she regretted it. She regretted sending envoys there to win over Wu Nian. After being rejected, she cooperated with Meng Yuan to contain Wu Nian.

He regretted sending 50,000 soldiers across the Yalu River to seize the land of Liaodong.

Without antecedents, how can there be consequences?

If she hadn't coveted the land in Liaodong, with Goguryeo's strength, there would have been no problem in self-preservation. But with Wu Nian's attitude.

The goal was only to "destroy the Tartars and regain Liaodong."

Then according to the plot of the Han people's struggle for hegemony, Wu Nian would only point his sword at Chu State instead of focusing on Goguryeo.

It's fine now.

She took the initiative to mess with people she shouldn't have messed with.

Moreover, she underestimated the enemy and was careless. The Liaodong tiger is indeed a Liaodong tiger, and it can do things that others dare not do.

She obviously has the support of Fuso people.

Wu Nian actually dared to attack her.

It really is.

What a reckless man.

Li Jinzhu shook her head slightly. Now is not the time to think about these things. It is the time to think about what to do. She raised her head and looked at the important ministers in front of her.

Her eyes did not stay even for a moment on her father, the Councilor Li Yongshan. Instead, they fell on Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng.

After Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng saw Li Jinzhu's eyes, they did not hesitate.

Li Yunchong walked out of the queue, cupped his fists and saluted Li Jinzhu and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. In my opinion, Wu Nian is just a turtle caught in a urn, and he can be caught easily."

"General Li is right. Wu Nian has fallen into the urn." Zhao Mancheng also walked out, cupping his fists and saluting.

Everyone knew that what these two people said was for the occasion, to boost morale. But when everyone was panicking, it was extraordinary for someone to stand up and say these words.

Li Jinzhu composed himself, became much calmer and calmer, and said softly: "Two generals, please continue."

Li Yunchong turned to Zhao Mancheng, nodded, and returned to the queue.

Zhao Mancheng nodded lightly, continued to clasp his fists and said: "Queen Mother Qi. Wu Nian is brave and good at fighting. With our current strength, it is difficult to compete with him."

"But the Meng Yuan people were eyeing him in the north. The acting prince Chunyuan led 90,000 households of soldiers and garrisoned them in Huanglong Mansion."

"Xiong Wuwo is a famous general of the Chu State. He is stationed at Shanhaiguan and has 80,000 horses and infantry in his hands."

"These two people have old and new grudges with Wu Nian. How can they let it go? They will definitely raise troops and attack Wu Nian's back."

"General Toyotomi, in alliance with us, will definitely send a navy to attack Guangchuan, Liaodong, and the Second Prefecture of the South China Sea. We can also ask him to send an army to support us."

"In this way, Wu Nian is like a man who is against our four forces and fighting against 400,000 soldiers."

"Besides, Wu Nian has been fighting in Liaodong and has won the hearts of the people. But now that he has invaded Goguryeo, he is going deep into the enemy's country, and he has no people to support him."

"Under such circumstances, I can't imagine how Wu Nian could not be defeated."

Li Jinzhu and the ministers became calmer after hearing Zhao Mancheng's words.

Li Jinzhu put his right hand on the table and relaxed his posture slightly.

"General Zhao. He is really a veteran in planning for the country and a pillar of the country." Li Jinzhu praised first, and then asked: "So, what should we do specifically?"

Strategically, we should despise the enemy, but tactically, we should pay attention to the enemy.

Although Li Jinzhu does not understand military affairs, he knows how to work seriously.

Zhao Mancheng raised his head and said: "In the first step, I just said that I would ask Toyotomi for reinforcements."

"The second step is to concentrate troops and garrison near the capital. As long as the capital is there, Wu Nian cannot expand the results of the war. We rely on the strength of the southern prefecture and county to compete with Wu Nian. Gradually, he can no longer afford it."

Having said this, Zhao Mancheng sneered and said: "With the land and population of Liaodong, if he wants to devour Goguryeo, it is tantamount to a snake swallowing an elephant. It is too greedy."

After taking a deep breath, Zhao Mancheng said again: "The third step. It is a fact that Wu Nian has obtained Yizhou Prefecture and Jiangjie Prefecture. Our naval camp on the Yalu River has become very dangerous. Immediately send an order to them to go north

Gather at Jiashan Mansion."

"As long as we complete the above three steps. With the national power of Goguryeo, the wisdom of the Queen Mother, the coordination of civilian officials, and the military commanders fighting to the death, it is nothing to worry about."

"Yes." Li Jinzhu looked at Zhao Mancheng's handsome and majestic cheeks and felt his extraordinary momentum. He couldn't help but feel reassured and nodded gently.

At this moment, an important minister came out, hugged Zhao Mancheng, and asked: "General Zhao, please forgive me. We have tens of thousands of naval troops on the Yalu River now. Why don't we stop Wu Nian after gathering?"

Will our soldiers continue to cross the river?"

Li Jinzhu's eyes flashed and he nodded again.

Zhao Mancheng sighed and said with a wry smile: "The navy deployed defenses along the river to prevent Wu Nian from crossing the river. Now he not only crossed the river, but also occupied Jiangjie Prefecture and Yiju Prefecture. As long as he was more concealed, he could secretly transport many

The army is coming."

"Besides, according to intelligence, there are 20,000 households of the Yalu River navy under Wu Nian. Li Tianbao and Songping Yixin's navy of 10,000 households are already very elite. They can fight us fiercely and lose both sides."

"Now that Wu Nian has come in, let's rely on the navy to harass him. Let General Toyotomi, the Meng Yuan people, and the Chu people crush him."

"This is the best policy."

"That's it." The important minister suddenly understood. After nodding, he cupped his fists towards Zhao Mancheng and retreated into the queue.

"Okay. Everything will be done according to General Zhao's plan." Seeing that the ministers no longer had any doubts, Li Jinzhu stopped writing and spoke in a clear voice.

"General Li. I appoint you as the General of the Conquest of the North and the Defense Ambassador of the capital, with full authority to coordinate the defense of the capital."

"General Zhao. I order you to serve as the deputy defense envoy of the capital to assist General Li in setting up defenses."

"yes."

Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng should be the ones to hand over.

"Everyone, now that the country is facing a crisis, no matter who you are, no matter what your position is. I hope you will set an example and command the civil and military ministers of the inner and outer dynasties to fully support General Li and General Zhao."

"We are hunting Liaodong tigers in Goguryeo."

"Let everyone in the world know that Goguryeo is a country that cannot be invaded."

"Whoever leads an army to invade will definitely die without a burial place."

Li Jinzhu stood up and looked down at the important ministers from a high position. His words were fierce and his momentum was powerful. The power of the Queen Mother was clearly revealed.

"yes."

Everyone bowed in response. Then they turned around and walked out of the side hall, each going to perform their duties.

After everyone was gone, Li Jinzhu smiled bitterly and sat back on the throne, shaking his head and saying: "How can there be anything foolproof on the battlefield?"

"I turned the invasion of Liaodong into a defense of the country."
