On the fourth day of the fifth month, Galan was ordered to go to the military conspiracy of the commander camp.

Yang Gongren and Cui Xun summoned Galan as soon as possible. Yang Gongren's eyes were shining coldly and asked, "Give me a reason."

Galan pondered silently.

"The Wuyin Gong led his army to support him a few days ago, but after hearing that Wu Gu slaughtered the city, he stopped in the thousands of mountains." Cui Xun looked anxious, and there was no longer the quiet and quiet clouds and winds that were the same as before, and the melancholy look in his eyes, "To this day, there are no words from Wuyin Gong who has just heard."

Undoubtedly, Xue Shixiong, as the land commander of the Expeditionary Force, also realized that the Wugu City massacre would have an immeasurable bad impact on the political situation of the empire, so he had to stop at the Qianshan Mountains and temporarily keep a distance from the Wugu battlefield in order to leave room for maneuver in the future response process.

Galan understood. Traxun reminded him that the commander of the Selected Front Army, the general and the army were personally selected by the emperor and the center. In the Expeditionary Army, it belongs to a powerful force, standing in line with the expeditionary land army and the water army. In a sense, it has privileges and represents the will of the emperor and the center. If the meaning in Traxun's words is extended deeper, the bad impact brought about by the Wugu Massacre of the City will seriously endanger the political interests of the emperor and the center.

Galan didn't say anything, but the sarcastic smile on her lips and the disdain in her eyes made Yang Gongren and Cui Xun increasingly dissatisfied. After having been in contact with this son for a long time, after pushing away the legendary aura that enveloped her son, you will clearly see that this son is brutal, arrogant, domineering, and self-righteous. Many untolerable personality defects are unwilling tolerate, but these personalities are naturally consistent with his life experience. It is the howling wind and sand of the wild and western soil that nurtured this ferocious wolf.

Yang Gongren was very deep in Shen's mansion and was silent. His identity was there, and he could not say some things. He could not do some things, so he was very passive, especially when he encountered subordinates like Galan who were lawless and had huge power hidden behind him, and he was even more passive to the extreme.

Cui Xun can be said that at this moment, only he can openly and question Galan in a blunt manner. After all, both sides are sitting on the "ship" of King Yang Tong of Yue, and more importantly, both sides are in the Shandong aristocratic group and their political interests are closely linked.

"Galan, when I arrived at Qinghe with Guan Gong, you offered a suggestion to Hidden Dragon in the Abyss." Cui Xun hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked, "Is the Wugu Massacre of the City related to this plan?"

Cui Xun's speculation about the Wugu Massacre incident was almost consistent with Yang Gongren's idea. If this speculation existed, it might be more beneficial than disadvantages for the political group led by King Yang Tong of Yue. Although the emperor and the central reformists must bear huge political pressure for this, the Wugu Massacre incident was always a continuation of the struggle between the imperial reformists and the conservatives, and the emperor and the central reformists could not lose. For this reason, they must do their best to safeguard the positive political and military impact of the Wugu Massacre. From this, it can be foreseen that when the political struggles at the top of the empire became more and more intense, it would be the moment when the emperor and the central reformists made every effort to protect the political alliance with King Yang Tong of Yue as the core. With the formation of this political situation, King Yang Tong of Yue was passive and gradually narrowed the distance from the emperor's throne.

Galan frowned and hesitated.

After Kalan calmed down in the past two days, she also considered the impact of the Wugu Massacre incident on the political situation of the empire. She also discussed this matter with Fu Duanyi, Xue Deyin, Feng Yi, Xixing and Liu Heita on the matter. She also consulted the opinions of Kong Yingda, Gavinda, Hu Shidan, Zhao Huaiyi and others. The final conclusion was basically consistent with Kalan's deduction, that is, Kalan and the Long Guard Army would stay in the border town and guard. The possibility of returning to the Central Plains and even the Eastern Capital was slim. As for this incident, the impact on Yang Gongren, Cui Xun and even Xue Shixiong was even greater. In order to protect them, the emperor and the central government must let them stay in the border to temporarily avoid the storm of impeachment. In other words, Kalan's strategy of conquering Liaodong, accumulating strength, and waiting for the opportunity has hope to become a reality.

However, everyone has different opinions on how much impact this incident will have on the struggle at the core of the imperial political level. Some people believe that the impact is not great. After the emperor and the central government won the victory of the Eastern Expedition, they will focus all their energy on the stability of the domestic situation, while the imperial conservative forces are at an absolute disadvantage. Some people believe that the impact is great. The imperial conservative forces will definitely use this incident to "attack" the emperor and the central government from a moral point of view, which will lead to the further loss of authority of the emperor and the central government. Local forces will take this opportunity to launch a greater rebellion and quickly push the unified Middle-earth into the abyss of division.

What Traxun wanted to ask was actually not the fate of these people, but the direction of the empire's political situation.

But Galan is very clear about the political trend of the empire. There is no sign of any change in the course of history so far. Although Galan and the Dragon Guard appeared in the long river of history, they are just a drop in the ocean after all. Just one wave can drive them to hell. As for the burning of Wugu City, or even the demise of Goguryeo, it will not have any substantial impact on the history of Middle Earth. Therefore, Galan knew that the incident of Wugu City massacre would only further aggravate the loss of authority of the emperor and the central government, accelerate the collapse of the empire, and aggravate the pain suffered by the unified Middle Earth during the splitting process.

"The general trend is irreversible." Galan finally spoke. With no choice, he could only raise Pei Shiju's "tiger skin" as usual to make a big banner, hoping to continue to control and take the initiative in the crisis.

"How can I see it?" Before Cui Xun could question, Yang Gongren's dissatisfied voice rang in the tent.

"I said that the Eastern Turks are rising rapidly, and the speed of their rise is very fast. On the contrary, there are rebellions in the empire, and there are irreparable trauma caused by the three attacks on Goguryeo outside. Although the empire severely damaged Tuyuhun with its national strength and almost destroyed Goguryeo, it is an indisputable fact that its own strength has declined sharply." Galan's tone was very cold and solemn, with a heavy sense of depression, which makes people unable to breathe. "Imagine if the enemy on the northern desert roared south, they would at least control the strings of 400,000. With the strength of the garrison troops in our northern border today, how can we stop it?"

Yang Gongren's expression was stagnant and speechless.

Cui Xun frowned and fell into deep thought. Galan's words revealed a message from the side. After the Eastern Expedition, the emperor and the central government were still in a dilemma of internal and external troubles and being attacked from both sides. Compared with external troubles, external troubles pose a greater threat to the empire. Therefore, the emperor and the central government may not be able to free up their hands to deal with internal troubles and stabilize the domestic political situation when the enemy is eyeing Middle-earth.

Since the death of the former emperor and the abandonment of old ministers such as Gao Jin and Changsun Sheng by the emperor, the imperial diplomatic strategy was mainly controlled by Pei Shiju, the former minister who had regained the trust of today. Pei Shiju had a foresight and had clearly seen that the re-rise of the desert captives would pose a huge threat to Middle-earth, so he had the strategy of attacking the westward expedition to Eastward. The military purpose of attacking Tuyuhun in the west was to curb the threat to Middle-earth by the Western Turks and the Northwest expedition to Middle-earth. The military purpose of the East expedition to Goguryeo was to destroy the threat to Middle-earth by the Northeastern enfeoffment. Putting this military strategy into the imperial national defense strategy was obviously aimed at the northern desert captives. In the process of curbing their rise, they eradicated their two wing allies, and then broke the three sieges formed by the outer captives in the east, west, and north.

Since contacting Galan, Galan has repeatedly mentioned the re-rise of the northern desert and the huge threat posed to Central Earth, which is completely in line with Pei Shiju's dominance ideas. Therefore, it is certain that Galan was deeply influenced by Pei Shiju and has always faithfully implemented Pei Shiju's national defense and diplomatic strategy. Judging from the emperor, Pei Shiju and even the central government have tried their best to implement the national defense and diplomatic strategy, although the threat of the northern territory, the foreign threat of the northern territory has been weakened for a while in the past 20 years of military strikes and diplomatic straits of the empire, it has increased again with the passage of time and the changes in the situation in the three major foreign regions of the east and west, and its growth rate has become faster and faster. Otherwise, why did the emperor and the central government waste their money and "wealthy military"? Could it be that the emperor and the central government are both stupid people. In order to build the so-called "martial arts", they must ruin themselves, ruin the empire and even the unified Central Earth?

"Is this your reason?" Yang Gongren asked.

"Only by destroying Goguryeo with lightning speed can we intimidate the Northeastern captives, and then destroy the Northeastern captives' ambition to win the Far East and completely eradicate their threat to the empire." Galan said calmly, "After losing the support of the Northwest captives and the Northeastern captives, the northern captives will not be able to build a strategy of "three arrows at the same time and three-way attacks" against our Middle-earth. In this way, their threat to Middle-earth will be severely weakened. Only in this way can the emperor and the central government free up their hands to suppress the rebellion and stabilize the country. Once the domestic situation is stable and the national strength is restored, the northern border towns will be supported by continuous support from troops and food and weapons. At that time, the empire can take the initiative to attack the desert captives and completely destroy their threat to Middle-earth."

Galan made a generous speech, while Yang Gongren and Cui Xun thought they had found the answer. Although this answer was difficult to verify, Galan's analysis and inference were basically impeccable. The threat from the Northern Barbarians to Middle-earth always existed, but the degree of threats varies from time to time. As for this historical period, even if Middle-earth was unified and the national strength was strong, external troubles were still greater than internal troubles, and the biggest enemy of the empire was the Northern Barbarians.

"The most urgent task is to cross the Yalu Water immediately, kill Pyongyang with the victory of the Black Bone, and not give the Goguryeo people a slightest breathing time." Galan made a decisive statement, "Soldiers are more important, attack! Continue attack!"

Yang Gongren didn't say anything.

Cui Xun frowned slightly, "Wuyin Gong delayed and Rong Gong had no news yet. With the weak force of the selection army, he continued to go deeper alone, and there may be..."

"The Goguryeo people are at the end of their power and have no resistance at all. Just like broken walls in the desert, a gust of wind can turn them into smoke and dust." Galan waved his hand vigorously, and was full of enthusiasm. "If the Selected Front Army took Pyongyang alone, captured Gao Yuan, and destroyed Goguryeo, what would be the result?"

Yang Gongren secretly looked at him, Cui Xun's face changed slightly, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the calming lake caused waves.
