On April 21, King Qi and Li Zixiong led his army to Huifachuan. The troops of the Marine tribes were shocked and frightened.

Dahe Duluo, who stayed in Huifachuan, told the King of Qi and Li Zixiong that Li Fengyun had led the troops of the horse army and the Martialis to the east into the Yalu River and attacked the domestic city on April 18th.

This is somewhat different from the expected situation. More importantly, before Li Fengyun rushed to the domestic city, he neither wrote to Li Zixiong who was rushing to Huifachuan nor Li Hun who was staying in Fuyu City. He just asked Dahe Duro to meet with Li Zixiong and verbally informed him, what does this mean? Did he predict that Li Hun would compromise with King Qi and push Anton into a difficult situation, so he used this to vent his anger, or to accept the facts, strive for internal unity, and achieve the goal of capturing Pyongyang at any cost?

Judging from the information, the reason why Li Fengyun couldn't wait to attack the domestic city was due to the important information from Pyongyang brought by the Goguryeo envoy. Therefore, it is definitely right to speed up the attack and seize the initiative on the battlefield as soon as possible. However, Li Fengyun's attitude towards King Qi, Li Hun and Li Zixiong was very abnormal, which inevitably made people suspicious and worried.

Li Zixiong did not agree. He knew that Li Fengyun was ambitious and his only goal was the Turks. The near-term goal was to win the Civil War. Only by winning the Civil War can Zhongtu go further and further on the road to expand territory, and Li Fengyun could use the powerful power of Zhongtu to go north to fight and avenge revenge. Therefore, whether it is the third Eastern Expedition, Goguryeo, or King Qi, they are all stepping stones for Li Fengyun, and it is impossible to form a substantial obstacle to his pursuit of the target. Of course, great courage does not mean that he has no temper. King Qi, Li Hun and others pressed against Li Fengyun step by step, and Li Zixiong and other people were swaying from side to side, which damaged the vital interests of Anton and Li Fengyun. Li Fengyun must show his face, make a warning, be clear, and be deterred to those with ulterior motives.

What Li Zixiong was really worried about was the change in the battle situation. Li Fengyun was blocked by the city of the country, so he could neither take the enemy nor attack the enemy. He would inevitably be blocked by the Yalu River. Once the Goguryeo army was defending the Yalu River in front, and there was a serious shortage of food and supplies, and the supply of Andong's army would be in trouble. In the worst case, he could only retreat. As a result, the Eastern Expedition failed and all plans were disappointed.

"Since you are worried that your white hair will be blocked from the domestic city, why don't you follow up quickly?" Li Min saw his father worried and immediately suggested, "At this time, whether it is the King of Qi or the generals of the army, they are full of morale. As long as the adults give their orders, the soldiers will surely rise up and continue to advance eastward."

Li Zixiong shook his hand, "If the gray hair is blocked from the domestic city, our strategy of rushing to attack Pyongyang by Huifachuan will be completely exposed. The Goguryeo people will quickly increase their troops in the domestic city, build a solid defense line on the east coast of Yalu Water, and transmit the news back to Pyongyang as quickly as possible. The situation will be very unfavorable to us. In this unfavorable situation, the army gathers at home and the city is meaningless. Even if we take down the domestic city, so what if we forcibly cross the Yalu Water? With our strength alone, in the dilemma of no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, the lonely army attacks Pyongyang in depth is just a way to die."

This is a lesson from the past. In the first two Eastern Expeditions, the Holy Lord was blocked by the city of Liaodong. He failed to defeat him for a long time and paid a huge price but gained nothing. Therefore, Li Zixiong did not intend to follow up quickly, but planned to temporarily stay in Huifachuan and wait for news from Li Fengyun. Once the battle situation was unfavorable, he could respond to Li Fengyun's retreat, and he could quickly return to Fuyu City backward, without any mistakes.

"Sir, the attack speed of Baihai is very fast. He did not waste much time in Huifachuan. If the domestic city knew that the sudden change in Huifachuan occurred, the Goguryeo envoy would not set foot in Huifachuan. Therefore, Baihai still has the conditions to attack the enemy unprepared. He can still catch the domestic city off guard and still surround it without any defense. However, the domestic city may not be able to go down in one go. After all, Baihai is under the tent of the horse army, and the attack is exactly their shortcomings. Therefore..." Li Min glanced at his thoughtful father and said solemnly, "Baihai is too confident, while adults are too cautious. You must know that the fighter opportunity is fleeting. If you miss it, you will regret it. Please think twice."

Li Zixiong pondered silently.

Li Minli advised, "We are in conflict with the interests of the white hair and share honor and disgrace. The victory of the Eastern Expedition is not only what white hair needs, but also what we need. Therefore, at such a critical moment, Lords should not be influenced by the King of Qi and Duke of Hui, but should work together with the white hair and actively seek war."

Li Zixiong hesitated for a moment and made a decisive decision, "Order Han Shiye to immediately lead the Hu Ben Army, Fengyun Army and Leopard Cavalry Army to rush to the domestic city. If there is any delay, military law will be carried out."

April 22, domestic city.

The chief of Sumo tribe Tieli led thousands of Guanxian to the domestic city, swaying and threatening to transport a batch of food and grass weapons to the domestic city under the orders of King Goguryeo.

The domestic city garrison is Gao Lin, the clan uncle of Goguryeo King Gao Yuan. Gao Lin of course knows Tie Li and knows that the envoy sent by Pyongyang has gone to Huifachuan. According to the experience of cooperation between the two sides in the past two years, Pyongyang should still pay money, grain and weapons, while the Marine tribes have contributed their efforts. Both sides have made their own efforts to make their own profits. Therefore, Gao Lin clearly noticed that some of the Marine nobles who secretly bribed them did not send news within the agreed time recently, but this kind of thing has happened in the past. Therefore, Gao Lin took it for granted that there was another dispute within the Marine, which did not arouse enough vigilance. In fact, he could not have thought that Anton would suddenly change, and Anton's army would go to Fuyu and Huifachuan to attack his domestic city.

Tieli is the strongest man in Sumo and Mori. He has a noble status among the tribes of the Marine. Now he has gone to the domestic city to ask for food and grass weapons. It can be seen that this matter is very important to Sumo and Mori. The number of requests is probably very large. Gao Lin dared not be negligent and went out to the city to greet him personally. However, if you are doing business, you should take out the orders of the king, otherwise you will not even give you food and grass weapons. In addition, I have not received the orders of Pyongyang, so I cannot tell whether the orders of the king you took out is true or false, so you should let the Pyongyang special envoy who had rushed to Huifachuan to send a message to him as a proof.

Tieli looked unhappy and looked embarrassed, saying that the special envoy and the chief commander Yi Dian of Huiba's army were together, just behind him, about a day apart.

Gao Lin understood as soon as he heard this. Tieli came running quickly and planned to take action first and get more food and grass weapons, so he refused without hesitation.

It was not that he deliberately made things difficult for Tieli, but that the food and grass weapons stored in the domestic city were also limited. Three consecutive years of war exhausted Goguryeo's national strength. Although the domestic city is located in the upper reaches of Yalu Water and has not been poisoned by war so far, because of this, the domestic city's troops and money, grain and weapons have been transferred to the front line in large quantities and have never been replenished, so it is difficult to continue and can only barely support it.

Tieli retreats to the next best. Since you can’t get food and weapons, then open the city gate and let me go in and have some rest? I got up early and ran fast, I was trapped and hungry, and needed a rest urgently.

Gao Lin wanted to refuse, but he was afraid of offending Tieli, which angered the Mart. Now it is the time when Goguryeo is in life and death, and he urgently needs the support of the Mart. He must not offend the Mart until he has to. However, today Goguryeo is in danger and is shaky. In this unfavorable situation, the Mart will still share life and death with Goguryeo? Obviously, it is impossible. In times of crisis, the Mart is not robbed by fire and put on the insult. It is already rare to not put a knife behind Goguryeo.

Gao Lin weighed the pros and cons, but he still agreed and allowed Tieli to rest in the city, but could only bring fifty horses.

Tieli was furious and thought that he had been humiliated. I would not go to the city and return to Huifachuan. I would not want food, grass and weapons. I would not help Pyongyang resist the attack from Middle-earth.

Gao Lin had no choice but to compromise and agreed to Tieli's conditions, allowing him to bring two hundred control strings into the city to rest.

Two hundred Sumo Guanxian walked to the city gate and suddenly started attacking. For a moment, arrows flew everywhere, swords and guns were flying, and the sound of killing was like thunder. The Goguryeo guards were caught off guard and were hit by one after another. A large number of them fell down, screaming endlessly.

Gao Lin and Tie Li walked together. They had a great conversation, but they were unsuspecting. However, the storm suddenly changed, and the storm came. Before he could react, Tie Li took action and smashed Gao Lin under the horse with a spear, captured alive.

At this moment, Su Mokongxian, who was left outside the city, came and rushed into the city, quickly expanded the results and firmly controlled the city gate.

Soon, thousands of Mohe control strings gathered from all directions, rushed through the city gate, and rushed into the city.

Following closely were the Khitan Left Army led by Yelu Tielli and the Xi tribe left army led by the King of Xihe Mengba, who rushed into the domestic city like a roaring torrent.

By the time Li Fengyun and Asunaul led the main horse troops of Thunder, Dragon Cavalry and Changba to the city, the domestic city had changed hands, and the Marine, Khitan and Xi clan Control Xian had already started killing in the city and looted them.

Li Fengyun looked at the raging fire on the beacon tower in the city, and at the rolling smoke covering half of the sky. His expression was very serious, his brows were frowning, and he was anxious.

Ashinur shook his head repeatedly, pointing at the east bank of the Yalu River in his hand, "The beacon has been burning, and the wolf smoke has risen. When the enemy troops on the other side see the domestic city call the police, they will definitely provide reinforcements. Without further ado, cross the river immediately and seize the Jinkou on the other side. They cannot give the opponent time to counterattack. Once the Goguryeo strengthens the defense line on the other side, it will be difficult for us to cross the river."

Li Fengyun nodded and immediately ordered, "Order Erzhu Tianxiao and immediately lead the Thunder Army to cross the river and seize the Jinkou on the other side."

"Order Gao Hu and immediately lead the Dragon Cavalry into the domestic city to control the situation."

Then he waved to the Khitan chief Dahemohui behind him, "Immediately send a message to Tieli, Yelu Tielli and the King of Xihe Mengba. You must withdraw from the domestic city within one hour and cross the Yalu River to the east. If there is any delay, you will be severely punished."
