Anhe Palace.
The hall was now as silent as death.
The civil and military officials lowered their heads and looked at each other in bewilderment.
But no one dared to speak.
King Gao Zang sat on the throne.
I wanted to speak many times, but I stopped myself.
Everyone's eyes fell on Gao Suwen.
Bang!
The whole audience was shocked.
Everyone looked at Gao Suwen as if waking from a dream.
"That rubbish Park Duanchang!"
"They couldn't even defend Baekje City."
"You have the nerve to tell me that the Dafeng kerosene has been destroyed."
"The fall of Baekje was entirely due to his command errors. He even deceived his superiors and subordinates, lying about military intelligence. According to the laws of Goguryeo, Park Duanchang's entire family must be executed. Your Majesty, what are your thoughts?"
"Ahem!" King Gao Zang was stunned for a moment, but still managed a smile. "Da Molizhi is right. Every country has its laws, and every family has its rules. Pu Duanchang lied about military intelligence, and according to the law, his entire family must be executed. This matter will be handed over to Da Molizhi to handle, as a warning to others!"
"I obey the decree!"
Gao Suwen raised his hand in response.
He put all the blame on Park Duanchang for the destruction of Baekje City.
In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Park Duanchang.
The so-called false reporting of military intelligence is also a misjudgment.
The key is that it doesn’t matter who replaces him.
This time, there was a mistake in strategic decision-making.
I never expected that Ning Que would attack in two directions.
They had only themselves to blame for such a misjudgment. They assumed Ning Que had brought 20,000 men, meaning he must have left some behind to defend Hanshan City. They never considered that many of Ning Que's 20,000 men were Goguryeo captives.
That's why Bai Yu and Tie Niu could openly lead an army of 30,000 and implement a large-scale roundabout and interspersed tactic. When Pu Duanchang was full of confidence, they could achieve a divine attack from the sky and capture the city in one fell swoop!
Of course, Gao Suwen could not admit his failure.
That would naturally make Pu feel wronged and heartbroken.
Even his people are the same.
"The Great Molizhi, Wuwan City was also destroyed."
"With Ningque's military strength, they will soon be able to capture Silla City. By then, most of Goguryeo's territory will fall into the hands of Dafeng."
"And the current royal city will become an isolated city."
"How long can we hold out against Dafeng's attacks from both the north and the south?"
Kim Sun-sin walked out slowly.
Pointing to the map hanging in the air.
His words were so powerful that they echoed throughout the palace.
Looking around the court, he was the only one who dared to challenge Go Su-mun. In terms of power, Kim Sun-sin was indeed inferior to Go Su-mun, who wielded absolute power. After all, Go Su-mun still held military power, and no one could do anything to him.
But don’t forget, Kim Sun-sin is also the national teacher!
He also built schools.
He enjoys a very high prestige among the people.
Even Gao Suwen's rise to power was thanks to Kim Sun-sin's cultivation.
Gao Suwen raised his eyebrows.
He turned around and looked at Kim Sun-sin.
"What does the Imperial Master think?"
"Goguryeo is practically hopeless," Jin Sun-sin said calmly. "Especially after the fall of Baekje, Dafeng's plan of a pincer attack from the north and south became possible. I'm certain that within a month, Silla will also fall into Ning Que's hands. The Royal City alone can't hold out for much longer. If they choose to trap the enemy, how long can the food reserves in the Royal City hold out?"
"Also, don't forget Da Molizhi. Ning Que hasn't used kerosene yet. If he chooses to attack the royal city with fire, what will we do then? Furthermore, the main force of the Dafeng in the north is already three hundred thousand men, not counting the prisoners they hold. Da Molizhi, do you have any good plan to save me from danger?"
"The Donghu are still here!"
Gao Suwen clenched his fists and said firmly, "The King of Donghu has already promised me that as long as Feng Wuze sends his troops forward, we will take advantage of the insufficient defense of Fuyu City and immediately attack. By then, we can cut off their retreat and deprive them of food supplies."
"Donghu... huh..." Jin Sun-sin couldn't help but sneer, saying calmly, "Has Da Molizhi forgotten? The Donghu are known for their horseback riding and are best suited to positional warfare on the plains. But when it comes to attacking a city, they're no match for them. Even if the Donghu really send troops, do you think they can capture Buyeo City? I've fought many battles with Feng Wuze, and he's known for his steadiness in battle. You only need to leave behind 40,000 elite troops and 10,000 prisoners, and you'll prevent the Donghu army from ever entering the city."
"If Dafeng continues to send reinforcements at this time, I'm afraid even the Donghu will be annihilated. Da Molizhi, you'd better think it through."
The two were diametrically opposed and neither would give in.
Gao Suwen's face flushed and his eyes were cold.
"What does the Imperial Master mean?"
"Are you trying to demand and surrender?"
"National Master, please don't forget!"
"The king has already said that anyone who talks about peace or surrender will be killed without mercy!"
"That's not what I meant." Jin Sun-sin waved his hand calmly and said slowly, "It's just that the current situation is dangerous, and Da Molizhi is in charge of the military power. I hope Da Molizhi can come up with a suitable solution."
"The Imperial Master is responsible for coordinating the overall situation. Doesn't that mean he doesn't think about it anymore?"
"I am stupid and can't think of it."
Kim Sun-sin spread his hands out, quite decisively.
He had also led troops in battle.
But in his opinion, there is no hope at the moment.
It's a complete dead end!
Their persistence only resulted in more casualties.
The longer you defend, the more you will anger Dafeng.
Even if Ning Que could control his personal guards, Feng Wuze still had 300,000 soldiers at his disposal. If the swords were not put down for three days, how many people in the entire royal city would be left alive?
Gao Suwen's eyes were cold.
He turned around and looked at the other courtiers.
