"This..."
Minister of Military Affairs looked worried and said hesitantly, "But Your Majesty, that Han Army is well-equipped and well-equipped with weapons. Even if it ambushes, it may not be successful."
Outside the City Han Army Weapons and Equipment He looked frightened. Even if it was an ambush and there were three times more people than the opponent, he was not sure of victory.
"You think too highly of them!"
Goguryeo King looked cold and snorted, "There are only a thousand people. Once they enter the city, they won't be able to make waves!"
He knew that the Han Army outside was very strong, but after entering the city, it was a trapped beast. Shouldn't he just let him slaughter it?
Minister of Military Affairs had no choice but to say no more.
At this time Minister of Internal Affairs said, "Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate to do this. The death of the Han envoys and so many Han Army will inevitably arouse Han State's suspicion."
"Han State is much stronger than us. What if they send troops to us because of this? Let's think about it in the long term."
Although he also felt that what Cui Lin did deserved to be killed, he still felt quite scrupulous about Han State.
"Enough!"
King Goguryeo interrupted Minister of Internal Affairs impatiently, and said with a sinister expression, "It's because we are timid and let the damn Emissary see that we are afraid, that's why we dare to be so arrogant and domineering!"
"The Han Army and Weapons and Equipment outside are good, but how can Han State be matched with all Soldiers?"
"Have you ever calculated how big an expense it is?"
King Goguryeo doesn't think that the equipment of Han State's army is as good as that of Outside the City, even if it only has a thousand people.
The purpose of this army coming as a escort this time is to intimidate them and make them think that Han State's national power is too powerful to match, so as to gain benefits from their country.
Otherwise, why would an extremely powerful country want to establish diplomatic relations and friendly exchanges with them?
How can there be such a good thing as gold falling from the sky!
But Minister of Internal Affairs still advised, "Your Majesty, please wait a little longer and let me go back to find Merchants who has been dealing with Han State to learn more about it before making a decision."
"No need."
King Goguryeo rejected Minister of Internal Affairs's proposal with a cold face, and then said to Minister of Military Affairs, "Hurry and gather Royal City Guards to prepare an ambush."
"Then bring in all those Han Army!"
He was already determined to take action, but he could not listen to the advice. After finishing speaking, he left the banquet directly Great Hall.
After King Goguryeo's order was issued, Minister of Military Affairs quickly gathered three thousand Royal City Guards and laid out ambushes and traps in the city.
After everything was arranged properly, he sent someone to take Credential Staff out of the city and summoned Tiger Warriors Army into the city in the name of Cui Lin.
And King Goguryeo was waiting for news in the palace.
It just seems a little restless.
Although he appeared confident in front of the ministers, he was actually very nervous because he didn't know if he could destroy the Han Army.
The gap between Royal City Guards's strength and the opponent's is too big.
But if he didn't silence him, his act of killing the Han envoy would definitely be exposed, so he had to try it even if he took the risk.
After waiting for a long time, the sound of footsteps came.
Minister of Military Affairs hurriedly walked into the Great Hall.
Seeing this, King Goguryeo suddenly felt energetic. He stood up and asked, "How is it? Have you put that Han Army..."
"Your Majesty, something happened!"
Before King Goguryeo could finish speaking, Minister of Military Affairs said anxiously, "Han Army killed the people we sent to deliver the message, snatched away Credential Staff, and then all retreated!"
"Your Majesty... our plan was discovered by the Han Army!"
After hearing this, King Goguryeo suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his back, and his hands and feet were even colder!
Although he was panicking in his heart, King Goguryeo still pretended to be calm and ordered, "Ma, send troops to chase them immediately, we must not let them escape!"
Minister of Military Affairs said anxiously, "But Your Majesty, Han Army's horses are much better than ours, and we can't catch up at all."
"And even if we catch up, our army can't defeat them!"
They can only rely on ambushes and have several times the opponent's troops and horses to be able to fight. It is impossible to defeat them in a head-on confrontation!
"Chase me!"
Goguryeo King was furious and shouted hysterically.
However, just a moment after his words fell, Minister of Internal Affairs hurried over and knelt down with a "pop" as soon as he entered the hall.
"Your Majesty, the Han envoy cannot be killed!"
"You must not kill!"
Minister of Internal Affairs kept kowtowing to King Goguryeo, his face was extremely pale, and he said in a trembling voice, "After I went back, I found the merchants who were going to Han State and learned something from them."
"Not long ago, Han State killed Wuhuan, who had tens of thousands of warriors, with only 10,000 people, and beheaded their leader!"
"And Han State's army is far more than these. For an army like this, Emperor Han State has Fifty Thousand or even One Hundred Thousand under his command!"
"Their armies are as numerous as the sand of the sea!"
Minister of Internal Affairs's words were like a heavy hammer, directly destroying the last trace of luck in King Goguryeo's heart, leaving only deep disbelief.
Ten thousand people defeated tens of thousands? Such a powerful army Han State is as big as Fifty Thousand or even One Hundred Thousand?!
"Besides--"
Minister of Internal Affairs's mouth went dry as he spoke, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said, "I also learned that in the history of Han State, there is a precedent for Emissary being sent out to be killed..."
"Then what?"
King Goguryeo looked at Minister of Internal Affairs and asked in a somewhat urgent tone.
What will be the consequences of killing the Han envoy?
Minister of Internal Affairs looked bitter and said slowly, "According to Han historical records, Nanyue killed the Han Emissary and slaughtered them into nine counties; King Wan killed the Han Emissary and his head was hung Northern Palace Gate; Joseon killed the Han Emissary and was immediately killed!"
"These three countries were all attacked by Han State because they killed Han envoys. Without exception, they were almost destroyed!"
"Han State pays attention to etiquette, and pays attention to the reputation of sending troops. I suspect that the reason why this Han envoy dares to be so arrogant is just to let us kill him!"
"Once the Han envoy is killed, Han State will have an excuse to send troops, and then our country, Goguryeo, will be destroyed!"
"Your Majesty, the Han envoys cannot be killed, let alone the Han troops outside the city!"
"This is the way to death!"
Minister of Internal Affairs only reacted suddenly after learning about the fate of the countries where the Han envoys were killed.
Cui Lin's behavior was so desperate, it gave him the impression that he was deliberately arrogant and domineering, as if he was eager for them to take action.
He was still confused at first, but when he learned about the fate of those countries that killed Han envoys and the domestic rules of Han State, he finally came to his senses.
This Han envoy is seeking death!
So after he figured this out, he ran over non-stop to dissuade King Goguryeo from taking action against Outside the City's Han Army.
Don't move, otherwise the country will be destroyed!
This is no lie!
After hearing what Minister of Internal Affairs said, King Goguryeo slumped down on King's Seat and said with a pale face, "You are late."
"That Han Army... has been withdrawn."
Chapter 357 Huang Zhong attacks, destroys the country and establishes a county!
"Evacuated?!"
Minister of Internal Affairs was shocked when he heard this, his vision went black, and he felt waves of dizziness.
He is still a step too late!
Minister of Internal Affairs said with heartache and despair, "Your Majesty, you have really caused a big disaster this time. I, Goguryeo, am not far away from the destruction of my country!"
Although the Han envoys have not been killed by them yet, it is no longer important. All Han State wants is this reason to send troops.
This Han Army retreated so decisively, which showed that they had already made preparations, which confirmed his guess.
"Minister of Internal Affairs, what should we do now?"
"Is it too late to release him now?"
King Goguryeo was also panicked at this time. He had been lucky and felt that Han State was not as powerful as he thought.
But after hearing what Minister of Internal Affairs just said, he realized how naive his thoughts were.
Han State is simply a hooligan!
Minister of Internal Affairs sighed, "People must not be killed, otherwise there will really be no room for redemption."
"Now that we have offended Han State, if we want to avoid the fate of being destroyed, we can only take the initiative to surrender to Han State and become their vassal state."
"This is the only solution."
Apart from surrendering to Han State, Minister of Internal Affairs can't think of a better solution.
"Submit yourself?"
King Goguryeo's expression changed, and he couldn't help but ask, "Han State just wants to attack us, so what's the point of us surrendering?"
"Is there no other way?"
He felt both unwillingness and disbelief in his heart.
He didn't believe that Han State would let them go so easily.
Minister of Internal Affairs said, "The king doesn't know something. Han State attaches great importance to reputation. Otherwise, he would not have sent Emissary to die just to attack us."
"We didn't kill the Han envoys. At most, we were disrespectful to Han State. We are far from being able to destroy the country."
"So as long as we send the Han envoys back, and then take the initiative to apologize and surrender, we can make Han State lose the reason to attack us."
Minister of Internal Affairs I am very glad that Goguryeo Wang Dang did not directly order the execution of the Han envoys, otherwise everything would really be irreversible.
