"So what's Da Molizhi's plan?"
"Instead of sitting there and waiting for death, we should take the initiative!" Gao Suwen stood up and pointed at the map. "There's no hope defending Baekje City. We should send troops out of the city and try to snipe the enemy. Ningque's large-scale march will require passing through several narrow areas along the way. For example, the Han River Bridge, Incheon Bridge, and Seoraksan Mountain..."
"There are at least 20,000 defenders in Baekje City. If we send a few thousand of them to ambush, we can inflict heavy casualties on Ning Que."
“Good idea!”
"At the critical moment, it still has to be Da Molizhi!"
"As long as we set up ambushes layer by layer, we can inflict heavy damage on the enemy."
"It would be even better if Ning Que could be killed!"
Everyone praised him.
Everyone, including Kim Sun-sin, nodded in agreement.
After all, this method is indeed better now.
It is also the most appropriate way to break the deadlock at present.
Goguryeo's terrain was complex and complex, unlike the well-developed Daebong. Many areas were still inhabited by tribal villages, with no cities at all. Mountains and valleys abounded, making it ideal for ambushes.
"They can attack with fire, and so can we!"
"Ningque's logistics must also contain kerosene."
"If we can ignite the kerosene, the Dafeng army will suffer heavy casualties. If all their food and fodder is burned, Ning Que will be forced to retreat!"
Jin Sun-sin nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "Da Molizhi is indeed powerful. No one can match him in military affairs. If everything goes well, we will definitely be able to defeat Ningque."
"Hmm." Gao Suwen wasn't particularly happy. He simply raised his hand and said calmly, "Let Park Duanchang handle this matter. Master Park, please don't let me down!"
"Don't worry, Da Mo Lizhi!"
Pu Duanchang hurried out and knelt down to kowtow.
Although he served as a retainer to Kim Sun-sin, he was an opportunist. Not being of the Kim family, he seized the opportunity to join Go Su-mun. Over the years, he'd been a loyal servant to Go Su-mun, even betraying Kim Sun-sin. His position within the court had steadily risen, and he had a glimmer of hope of becoming second-in-command.
To ensure success this time, Gao Suwen specially dispatched Park Duanchang to take charge. If Baekje City fell into Ning Que's hands again, Goguryeo would be in a very passive position, as if half of the country was controlled by Dafeng.
If Ning Que was more ruthless, he could take advantage of the situation to annex Silla City, which is the hometown of King Rong Zang. This is equivalent to annexing the entire southern Goguryeo.
At this time, the royal city is in danger...
In the north, Feng Wuze's army of 300,000 is watching closely. In the south, Ning Que's elite troops are ready to attack from both north and south at any time.
How can they stop it?!
"Master Park, this is a matter of vital importance." Gao Suwen looked at him and said earnestly, "It concerns the safety of the entire Goguryeo. My request to you is not high, but you must destroy their kerosene and food supplies!"
"Don't worry, Da Mo Lizhi!"
Park Duanchang patted his chest and agreed.
Gao Suwen then nodded.
"Okay, you can leave now."
"Remember what I said!"
"yes!"
Pu Duanchang immediately raised his hand and took his leave.
Kim Sun-sin squinted his eyes and watched the scene.
This is important information.
I must find a way to inform Ning Que.
If they don't kill Gao Suwen, they won't have a good life. Gao Suwen is a butcher and executioner, and even more so a ruthless dictator. Compared to Dafeng, they hate Gao Suwen even more!
Now, the only one they can rely on is Ning Que!
…
…
Hanshan City.
Ning Que looked at the letter in his hand.
I stood there in a daze, unable to let go for a long time.
Finally, he just raised his hand and burned the letter.
"Your Highness, is this the letter from Babao Trading Company?"
"Yes, it's a letter from Shoubo."
"Shou Bo?"
Tie Niu scratched his head in confusion.
Ning Que's face remained expressionless as he spoke softly, "When I was in Kunlun Mountain, I researched carrier pigeon messaging with my fellow brothers. We later applied this to the Babao Trading Company, and Brother Wan further developed it. We established contact points in various locations, making it easier to communicate. And, it's truly effective. Because this is a secret of the Babao Trading Company, I kept it a secret and didn't tell Emperor Feng."
"I never thought it would be like this..."
This letter has been a source of much restlessness.
When Gongshu Chou became suspicious of his and Emperor Feng's identities, Ning Que asked Babao Trading Company to help him send a letter to Shoubo via carrier pigeon. Shoubo had served three generations of Ning Wang and had lived in the ancestral home for many years. When he was born, Shoubo was also there to help take care of things.
So, Ning Que thought of asking Shou Bo.
Did anything strange happen when he was born?
"Shou Bo told me that a lot happened on the day I was born. I was born at night, and the Queen Mother was having a difficult birth, so she transferred many midwives and doctors from the city to the palace. Fortunately, my mother had an easy birth and was able to give birth to me. When I was born, my voice was quite loud, and my father and brothers were very happy."
"But then...something strange really happened."
"What?"
"Shou Bo said that his father and brothers were entertaining guests and celebrating, and the palace was full of joy. He was guarding outside my mother's door. However, he was hit hard and passed out. When he woke up, he heard the news of my death. The palace was in chaos at that time. Fortunately, the great doctor Chang happened to be visiting the palace and saved me."
"Someone attacked?!"
"right!"
Ning Que nodded.
He believed Shou Bo and he would definitely not lie to him.
Watching the letter being burned, Ning Que's heartbeat quickened. He had never expected that Gongshu Chou's earlier speculations would turn out to be true...
"And then?"
Tie Niu's face was also full of curiosity.
His brain is typically slow to think straight.
Ning Que sighed softly, "After I was rescued, Shou Bo told my father and brother about the attack. My father thought it might be an enemy, the King of Qi, who sent someone to harm me. So I was fine before, but after the attack, I was suddenly in critical condition."
"Another Tian Zhongxun?!"
Seeing Tie Niu's furious expression, Ning Que helplessly held his forehead with his hand, and said with a wry smile, "You, you are so stupid that you're crying. Have you forgotten what Senior Brother Gongshu said earlier? He said that when he visited my father, he heard Emperor Feng talking about a prince or an imperial prince in the camp. His guess turned out to be correct... I'm not actually the son of old Prince Ning, but the son of the late emperor!"
"Emperor Feng is the son of the old Prince Ning."
"It was Gu Shuang who swapped the dying me with Emperor Feng. When he escaped from the palace, he found Shoubo. In order to protect himself, he knocked Shoubo unconscious."
Bang!
Tie Niu stood up suddenly.
He looked at Ning Que in great horror.
This moment was like a bolt from the blue.
Ning Que is the son of the late emperor!
Emperor Feng... is the youngest son of the old Prince Ning!
"Wang...Wang...Your Majesty?"
"Are you telling the truth?"
"It's pretty close..."
"Then..." Tie Niu felt a chill down his spine and looked at Ning Que in surprise. "Are you saying that the Emperor Feng who killed the old Prince Ning and the Major General was actually his biological father and brother?"
"Yes!"
