Luo Yi and Wang Bian rushed to the commander camp one after another to discuss the next attack strategy for the elected front army.

Wugu City has been burned by a fire, and the thousand-year-old ancient city has turned into a pile of ruins in a flash. The Goguryeo corpses are all over the wilderness and rivers. A radius of hundreds of miles is actually an open-air tomb. We can't stay here anymore, the weather is getting warmer and warmer. Once a plague breaks out, the army of the Selected Front will be wiped out. Therefore, the Selected Front has no choice but to quickly cross the Yalu Water, leave this terrifying tomb, and advance towards Pyongyang.

The atmosphere of the military discussion was very serious. Outside the camp was the ruins and slaughterhouses, and the burnt and rotten smell drifted with the wind was unbearable. No one in the tent was happy because of the capture of Wugu City and the annihilation of Goguryeo's army. On the contrary, more people were worried about their future and worried that the political storm caused by Wugu City might sweep themselves away. The culprit of all this, Galan, sat there leisurely, as if nothing had happened.

Now, everyone saw the true face of Galan and smelled the strong bloody smell of this Asura. This person is indeed a legend, and it is very likely that it is an immortal legend that has been in danger for thousands of years. Fighting with such a terrifying Asura is like a nightmare. Now everyone is in a nightmare. This Asura turns Wugu City within a radius of hundreds of miles into a purgatory tomb, forcing the Selected Front Army to advance and cross the Yalu River, and kill Pyongyang with the help of a lonely army.

After Yang Gongren's chief secretary analyzed the current situation and made suggestions to continue attacking, the generals did not object, but many people questioned many issues such as the supply of food and supplies, the support of the main army, and whether the Imperial Navy could arrive in Pyongyang in time and fight with the Selected Front Army.

Yang Gongren and Cui Xun could not give an accurate answer, but one thing is certain that the Wugu Massacre City will not affect the attack strategy of the third Eastern Expedition, and the emperor and the central government will not stop the pace of the Eastern Expedition due to the Wugu Massacre City incident. Therefore, once the Selected Front Army crossed the Yalu River and continued to advance eastward, Xue Shixiong, Li Jing and Zhao Cai fell into a passive position, and could only follow up with all their strength and give strong support to the Selected Front Army. Otherwise, when the Wugu City has been completely destroyed, the Selected Front Army won brilliant results. The morale of the Emperor* team is high and the Eastern Expedition is in a good situation, if the "turnover" is defeated again under the city of Pyongyang, the three of them will be done.

As for Lai Huer and Zhou Fashang. Whether the Imperial Navy commanded by them has crossed the sea and landed in Goguryeo, it is unknown at present, but as far as the current situation is concerned, after Goguryeo was burned in Wugu City, its entire defense system has collapsed, and Pyongyang has been directly exposed to the attack of the Imperial ** team. Important passes such as Liaodong, which are still under the control of the city, are no longer important. In the next few months, the Imperial ** team will do its best to attack Pyongyang. Therefore, whether the Imperial Navy comes early or late, it will not affect the entire war situation in the short term.

The generals expressed their opinions and clamored. There was only one central meaning. It was too dangerous to go deep into the army, especially after the Wugu massacre, which aroused the Goguryeo people's anger. Even those who originally planned to surrender would not surrender now. The Goguryeo people must share the same hatred against the enemy and fight back frantically. Once the selection army is surrounded, there will be danger of being wiped out. Therefore, Yalu River must cross. One is to stay away from the grave, the other is to make an attack, and the third is to give the main force behind a urging them to follow up as soon as possible. As for attacking Pyongyang, you have to wait until you meet with the main force, and the army will join forces, or even be better to wait until you meet with the navy before attacking Pyongyang, and that will be foolproof.

Jialan was very disappointed, and was very disappointed with Luo Yi, Wang Bian, and even the Xue brothers. If a general puts his own interests first, he looks forward to the front and back, and dare not sacrifice his life and move forward, how can he fight this battle?

With the environment, people change their status, power and power, and their ideas and personalities naturally change. During the split period of Middle-earth, wars continued, there were many opportunities to gain meritorious deeds, and there were many opportunities to make a name for themselves. In order to protect their own interests, vested interests often "raise the enemy and respect themselves" and put personal interests above the great cause of Middle-earth unification. In the early stage of unification, although the empire was internal and external troubles and wars continued, the power and wealth obtained by vested interests increased sharply because of unification. In order to protect these interests, they worked diligently.

, put personal interests under the cause of unification. When the unified empire gradually consolidated its foundation and the rapid development of national strength, the power and wealth of vested interests also increased. At this period, in order to protect their own interests, vested interests once again overrides personal interests over the interests of the empire, and even sacrifices the interests of the empire to satisfy personal desires. This "unspoken rule" is reflected in the battlefield, which is that the generals have their own plans, do their own ways, and fight for their own battles. The first Eastern Expedition is a clear example.

The same was true for the third Eastern Expedition. In the third year of the war, the situation developed to this point today. Goguryeo was actually dying and had no resistance at all. Just like a tree that was about to die, unable to withstand the invasion of a storm, the fall of Wugu City was the best evidence. However, disappointingly, the generals of the empire's estimate of Goguryeo's strength was still based on the excuses of deceiving themselves after the first Eastern Expedition. They actually believed that the Goguryeo people still had the ability to defeat the imperial army, which was ridiculous.

Jialan is the target of public criticism. If he tear open the "mask" on the generals' faces without leaving any face, he will make countless enemies. So he remained silent, but he was already calculating in his heart. After Yang Gongren ordered the three armies to cross the Yalu River immediately, Jialan took the order with pleasure and was the first to walk out of the commander's tent.

Before Jialan walked out of the gate, Yang Gongren sent someone to invite him to the side account. Yang Gongren was the only one in the account. Obviously, this was a private meeting between his nephew and his uncle.

"After crossing the river, are you planning to use the same trick again and lead the Dragon Guards to travel to Pyongyang day and night?" Yang Gongren asked without hesitation.

Galan looked calm, neither denying nor acknowledging.

Yang Gongren was angry and slapped the table with a palm, shouting sternly, "You are lawless, are there some other eyes? Is there any military law?"

"Military Law?" Jialan scoffed and pushed back without hesitation, "You should ask the generals, generals, and Wu Ben and Wu Ya Lang. Do you ask them if they have complied with His Majesty's edict? Do you strictly abide by military discipline and enforce the orders?"

Yang Gongren was extremely angry, his face turned pale, and his fingers were Galan. "You...you dare to contradict me?"

Jialan sneered, glared at Yang Gongren, his eyes shining coldly. Holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, it was like a beast treating others, and a sharp murderous aura gushed out.

Yang Gongren wanted to slap him, but when he thought of his dead father and his sister who had been suffering for a lifetime, his heart suddenly hurt to the bone, and his anger disappeared in an instant, leaving only a long sigh, "Galan. Don't be single-minded, don't be stubborn, and don't be arrogant. If your violent personality does not change, it will not only ruin yourself, but also implicate all the soldiers of the Dragon Guard. After passing the Yalu Water, the situation will be different. The people of Goguryeo are

At the moment of life and death, you will do your best to block the attacks wildly. You are alone and have a weak army and may be surrounded by rebels at any time. There are only eighteen regiments of the Beiping Army and Huaiyuan Army. Once you are surrounded, what can you save you? Once you and the Long Guard Army are wiped out, the Selected Front Army will be defeated and retreat. The third Eastern Expedition will be severely damaged, which will definitely affect the entire Eastern Expedition. If the Third Eastern Expedition fails as a result, do you know the consequences?"

Galan's eyes were expressionless and he didn't say a word.

"I know that everything you do is for Middle-earth. I also know that only soldiers can conquer Pyongyang by speed. But the reality is that General Xue, General Li and General Zhao control the main force of the Eastern Expedition. They are steadily and step by step. Their attention to Peking is much greater than their attention to Pyongyang. Therefore, if you think that as long as the selection army reaches the city of Pyongyang, they have to follow up, then you are too naive." Yang Gongren's face showed deep helplessness and sadness, "To be honest, in my opinion, it is better to rely on Duke Rong instead of relying on Duke Wuyin."

Jialan frowned slightly and asked immediately, "Has the navy landed?"

Yang Gongren shook his head, "If nothing unexpected happens, they are still in Donglai."

Galan looked at Yang Gongren in surprise, "Your Majesty ordered an attack on April 19th. According to time, the navy has already landed. Even if it has not conquered Bishe City, its vanguard army should go north and join me quickly."

"Did you see them?" Yang Gongren mocked.

Jialan believed in Yang Gongren's speculation. After all, Yang Gongren was a powerful man in the empire and he knew the upper class of the empire well. In comparison, Jialan's understanding of the upper class of the empire is like a piece of paper.

From Yang Gongren's speculation, we can guess that the military bosses each have their own interests, and the attack strategies they plan are based on their own interests. From the perspective of the navy, the emperor and the central government asked the navy to land in the direction of Bishe City, and then crossed the Yalu River to attack Pyongyang through Wugu City, and attacked the city and captured the villages along the way. In fact, it played the role of the main force of the eastern expedition. The main force of the eastern expedition was not the navy, but the navy was just a partial force, and it was an army that cooperated with the main force in the main force of the war. In other words, the navy should cross the river to Pyongyang and meet the main force of the eastern expedition in Pyongyang. This is the correct strategy.

Undoubtedly, the emperor and the central government had a serious lack of trust in the expeditionary army's land army, believing that they could not assume the role of the main force. This distrust led to the sudden fierce conflict between the two armies of the eastern expedition, the land army delayed and waited for the navy to attack the city and draw the camp in front. Since you don't trust me, why am I still charging into the battlefield? If you don't make a good deal, you still say that I was in a bad mood and compete with the navy for credit. Wouldn't it be that there is no one inside or outside? Of course, the navy would not do such a stupid thing, use the navy as infantry and let the navy soldiers attack the city and draw the camp. Wouldn't it be a deathbed? Even though you knew to die and defeat the war, you still ran away? Of course, you tried every means to find excuses to delay the time of crossing the sea to wait for the changes in the battle situation in Liaodong.

Galan instantly understood a lot, and a feeling of depression gradually spread to his body and mind, "When will the navy land?"

"The black bones have become a tomb, and the navy will land from Bishe?" Yang Gongren shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"The navy went directly to Pyongyang?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, your Majesty will order the navy to divert the route to attack Pyongyang after receiving the news of our capture of Wugu."

"Then we should go to Pyongyang day and night."

Yang Gongren stared at Jia Lan, and for a moment he wondered if he had killed too many people, his mind was full of blood and his mind was lost.

"Do you really think you are the omnipotent God of Galan?"

"Someone is not the God of Galan." Galan said calmly, "but the Goguryeo people are not gods either. They know nothing about the movements of my main force."

Yang Gongren suddenly moved his mind and his eyes suddenly lit up, "What do you mean..."

"The main force behind the front-selected army is the one that is well-known."

"You are the selection army." Yang Gongren pointed at Galan and pointed at him again, "I am the main force."

Galan nodded slightly, "So, I'm not alone."

Yang Gongren pondered, tapping his fingers gently on the table, falling into deep thought.
