April 29th, the east bank of Yalushui, Tieshan City.

When Jiang Yiwei received the evil news that the Mariner was betrayal and turned against him, he was patrolling the defense line on Yalushui East. Although he had expected this, as long as it did not happen, he always held a glimmer of hope for luck. However, what should come will come eventually. In times of crisis, few people help each other, and more people take advantage of the weak. The law of survival is so cruel.

"Is the news reliable?" Jiang Yiwei looked at Wen Yang, a confidant who came to deliver the letter, and asked with a blank expression.

"Reliable." Wen Yang grabbed the gray-white beard under his jaw, and his thin and haggard face was covered with clouds. All kinds of negative emotions such as anger, helplessness, depression, and depression were entangled, making him exhausted, but he was not desperate. He felt a strong sense of determination in his low tone. He would rather be broken than to be a complete one, and the worst thing was to die with Goguryeo.

The news was delivered by General Longlin himself, which was accurate and credible. Wen Yang informed the whole story in detail and finally said, "General Longlin fled without fighting and was killed according to the rules, but he sent out the news of the rebellion of the Marines as quickly as possible, but he made contributions, but the merits and demerits cannot be offset. How to deal with it, please give the general instructions."

Jiang Yi shook his hand disapprovingly, "In the face of a great enemy, in extraordinary times, we need to be flexible and flexible, and do not stick to the minor details, so as not to lose the big picture because of small things. In my opinion, the merits and demerits are enough to offset them, and the official will be restored to his post, so that he can continue to lead the army and serve the country."

Wen Yang hesitated a little, wanted to speak but stopped, obviously had objections to Jiang Yiwei's approach to dealing with him. It was precisely because of the great enemy that the military discipline needs to be strict, not relaxed, and not tolerated, otherwise everyone would imitate him, and the consequences would be serious. However, Jiang Yiwei was the right general of Goguryeo, and was the supreme commander of the military with the left general Yizhi Wende. He questioned Jiang Yiwei's decision to provoke Jiang Yiwei's authority, so even Wen Yang was the confidant of Jiang Yiwei, he did not dare to openly oppose it at this moment.

"I know that military discipline cannot be violated, but it is the time for the employment of people. When the army is approaching, it is not blindly impulsive to live and die with the city, but to make the most favorable decision very calmly and rationally. It is amazing." Jiang Yiwei knew that Wen Yang had objections and was biased in handling the matter, which may have negative impacts. So he warned seriously, "For generals, the decisions made must be maximized first. If you are not desperate, you must not show off your courage. Therefore, in my opinion, the Longlin guard general handled it properly at critical moments and made great contributions to compensate him for his mistakes in abandoning Longlin."

Wen Yang did not dare to object and bowed to his promise.

Jiang Yiwei thought for a while and said, "You tell the whole army about this matter. You must clearly tell the soldiers of the army that under the current situation, survival is the first priority. Only by survival can we survive. Only by preserving the vitality can we ensure the safety of our relatives and our homes, and ensure the survival of Goguryeo. In order to survive, we must use all means and do everything we can. We must not die with our enemies, and we must not burn each battle. The soldiers are killed in battle and the army is over. Who will protect their relatives and our homes? Who will protect Goguryeo?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a cold chill suddenly surged in Wen Yang's heart. Even though the summer sun shone brightly and sweated profusely, the bone-broken coldness still made him feel like he fell into an ice cellar and was very scared.

The situation is not good. Now even the warlike and confident Jiang Yiwei is no longer optimistic about this battle, and even publicly demands that the entire army must preserve its strength. The implication is very obvious. Once you are desperate, don’t sacrifice yourself to death or burn them all. Instead, you must live and persevere stubbornly. As long as you are there, Goguryeo will have hope.

Wen Yang was shocked and felt suffocating in an instant. He couldn't help but open his mouth and took a long breath. After a little soothing, he immediately said, "Is this the general's order?"

Jiang Yiwei was silent for a moment and nodded, "This is my order and must be executed."

"Have the general considered the consequences?"

"Are you worried about affecting morale?" Jiang Yi smiled, "I believe in them, their courage and fighting spirit, but this battlefield is very unfair to me, Goguryeo. The opponent is too strong. It is an unprecedented miracle for us to persevere until now. If we want to continue this miracle, we must first give the soldiers hope of survival, not despair. As long as there is hope, the soldiers can continue to persevere, and even if the last drop of blood is shed, they will not give up easily. What Goguryeo needs most now is persistence. Even if there is only one city, a river, and a person, Goguryeo must never give up fighting."

Wen Yang smiled bitterly. Although he didn't know Jiang Yiwei's true thoughts and what was hidden behind Jiang Yiwei's righteous and stern words, one thing is certain that the betrayal of the Marx people had a great impact on Jiang Yiwei, and even made Jiang Yiwei lose confidence in the war in an instant. Jiang Yiwei's pessimistic attitude towards the future situation directly determined the fate of Goguryeo. This is terrible and terrifying to think about it carefully.

Wen Yang hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but remind him, "This general's order will be transmitted to Pyongyang soon. Under the current situation, once the message conveyed by this order is misunderstood by Pyongyang, the misunderstanding of the general's position has changed. The consequences caused are not only unfavorable to the general, but also even more unfavorable to the survival of Goguryeo."

Jiang Yiwei shook his head disapprovingly, "I'm worried too much. If the king is afraid, he is already in a panic, and he is full of soldiers, and even no longer trusts me and Jiang, who can save Goguryeo?"

Wen Yang nodded, unintentionally continuing this sensitive topic, and then changed the subject, "Now the Marines are coming, they have crossed the Yushui and are whistling down along the southeastern foot of the Jiangnan Mountains. Once they cross the Dading River and the troops are facing Qingchuan City, my retreat will be cut off and I am in danger of being attacked from both sides. What's more serious is that Pyongyang may still know nothing about this matter. Once they are caught off guard by the Marines, the situation will be severe. Therefore, I think the most urgent task is to quickly support Qingchuan City, strengthen the defense of the Dading River and Sashui line, and ensure that the smooth flow between Yalu Water and Pyongyang."

Jiang Yiwei shook his hand decisively, "That's Pyongyang's business, it's the responsibility of General Edge." Then he pointed the horse whip in his hand at the surging river, "My battlefield is here, and protecting the Yalu Water is my top priority." Then he pointed the horse whip at Wenyang, "Immediately inform Pyongyang of the treacherous and betrayal of the Marines."

Wen Yang hesitated a little and still spoke, "General, the Great General, the wind-spin electric coil is extremely fast, while the Dading River and Sashui line are unprepared. Once the Marine people successfully attack, Qingchuan will be lost and the food channel will be cut off, the battle situation will be very unfavorable to the Yalu Water line."

"Although I dare not underestimate the strength of the string control of the Martialis, I will not overestimate the courage of the Chieftain Sumo Tieli." Wen Yang smiled slightly and asked, "According to your understanding of the Martialis and the Martialis such as the Martialis, do you think this is normal? Even if the Martialis betrayed us, turn against us and take advantage of the fire, it will be to capture the domestic city at most. If you are more courageous, you will cross the Yalu River, invade Hamkyung City, burn, kill and plunder and get some benefits. As for going south to Jiangnan Mountain, sneak attack Qingchuan City, and going deep into my heartland of Goguryeo, how big a reality can it bring to them

Benefits? Obviously, there is no profit, and the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. In most cases, we will be hit by our army head-on and the gain will not be worth the loss. From this, it is not difficult to see that the real purpose of the Marines roaring towards us is to come for us and Yalu Water. They break through our defense line from the flanks, encircle our rear, cut off our food channels, and threaten our security. The ultimate goal is to force us to abandon the Yalu Water and shrink across the board to Pyongyang, thereby helping the Middle-Turkish army to fight under the city of Pyongyang before the rainy season, and give the Middle-Turkish army more time to attack Pyongyang."

Wen Yang was at a glance and said in surprise, "The situation in front of him can prove that the Marines had fallen to Middle Earth, and followed the orders of Middle Earth to attack Yalu Water with Middle Earth."

"You still underestimate the Marines and the Chieftain Tieli of Sumo." Jiang Yiwei sneered, "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Today in Goguryeli may be the Marines of the Marines. With the hatred between the Marines and Middle-earth, Zhongtu will definitely kill him as long as he seizes the opportunity. Therefore, if the Marines want to live well, they must first preserve their strength. The weaker the strength, the faster they die. Therefore, from the position of the Marines of Tieli and the Marines, surrendering to Middle-earth can be done, but they will not charge for Middle-earth to attack me, Goguryeo, that is purely seeking death."

Wen Yang became more and more surprised, "Is it a Middle-Turkish army? The Middle-Turkish army under the banner of Martin?"

"Although there is no evidence to prove that it was a Middle-Turk army, based on the current situation, even if the Marines surrendered to Middle-Turk and actively cooperated with Middle-Turk to attack Goguryeo, it would be impossible for them to go deeper alone at the risk of being wiped out." Jiang Yi frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said slowly, "However, the Marines are indeed going deeper alone now. What General Longlin saw with his own eyes will not be fake, so there is only one possibility."

"Behind the Marines, there are the Middle-Turkish troops, and there are also a large number of Middle-Turkish troops. Otherwise, the Marines would not only not go deep alone, but also tens of thousands of control strings whistling out." Wen Yang immediately made a bold guess, "This year, the Middle-Turkish people were abnormal and advanced very fast. They were in the Yalu River within half a month. The reason may be this. It is because a partial division joined forces with the Marines to break through our flank defense line, encircle our rear, and form front and back attacks on us."

"This is very likely." Jiang Yiwei said, "so we cannot move. No matter what the situation occurs on our flanks and behind, we only have one goal, that is, to stick to Yalu Water, so that no matter what conspiracy or tricks the opponent has, we will not be fooled."

Wen Yang nodded repeatedly, "Does this speculation inform Pyongyang together with the news of the betrayal of the Marine people?"

Jiang Yiwei shook his hand unscrupulously, "Presumes without evidence are irresponsible nonsense."

While the two were discussing, a fast horse rushed over, "General, Pyongyang urgently asked."
