"Your analysis just now makes sense, but there's something you don't know yet."
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Liu Hong with curiosity, but no one dared to ask a question.
Seeing this, Liu Hong said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, news came from Youzhou that Goguryeo's 50,000-strong army has reached the wooden fortress of Buyeo, and Buyeo is about to be destroyed."

Liu Hong smiled and said, "But if our army can save them from danger, they will surely be grateful and submit to us again. Wouldn't that be better?"
"Your Majesty, such people who fear power but not virtue, even if they submit temporarily, will not be able to maintain their loyalty for long. They may turn against the Han Dynasty at any time."
"It would be better to use Goguryeo to wipe them out, and then our Han Dynasty can enter the fray as a royal army. In this way, we can both demonstrate the power of the Han Dynasty and gain control of both Buyeo and Goguryeo."
As Liu Hong watched Cao Cao speak eloquently, a look of admiration flashed in his eyes.
Liu Hong could foresee that Cao Cao would become a nightmare for barbarian tribes in the future.
