In the mansion of the lord of the domestic city, Zhu Biao and Song Jian sat together again.

However, both of them were a little awkward.

Originally, they all wanted to make meritorious contributions to the other party, but now they found out that they were engaged in oolong.

"Come on! A glass of wine and enmity, everyone is working for Datang, let him go over yesterday's incident. ”

Cheng Chuliang sat on the main seat and persuaded Zhu Biao and Song Jian on the left and right.

"General Song, I offended a lot last night, and I invite Haihan. In the future, we will both work for Datang and hope to cooperate happily. ”

Although Zhu Biao felt that his "vote for nomination" had disappeared, it was a pity, but judging from the current situation, Cheng Chuliang still accepted himself, and yesterday's actions still had some effect.

"Wherever General Zhu is, blame me for underestimating the general's consciousness to make such a situation. If you directly follow Cheng Langjun to attack the city, maybe there will be no misunderstanding. ”

In just one day and one night, Song Jian experienced the ups and downs of his life, and he was also very emotional.

If he really wants to be more serious, he can't blame Zhu Biao's head.

After all, it was "to each his own master" in the first place.

"That's it! After this drink, the matter is over. We can discuss the next steps. ”

Cheng Chuliang felt that after taking the domestic city, there was no need for him to stop here and waste time, and he could be more bold.

According to Datang's current offensive, whoever moves fast enough will have the highest credit.

If a big city like a domestic city can be taken without a single soldier, will it be difficult for other cities?

"General Cheng, I am sure that I will take all the cities around the domestic city. However, the most important thing is to get to Mudi Fortress as soon as possible, which is considered the densest area of Goguryeo's cities in Liaodong. ”

Zhu Biao knew very well that after he surrendered to Datang, he needed to make more contributions, so that his position could be more stable in the future.

There are no big cities around the domestic city, and no matter how much you fight, the credit is just like that.

But if the army went straight to Mudi City, it would be different.

Mudi Fortress, Xuansu Fortress, Gaimu Castle, and Xincheng, all of the largest cities in Goguryeo, are concentrated in that area.

In a way, it was once the core area of Goguryeo.

"I think so too, now that our Tang Dynasty has taken Liaodong City, taken the Black Bone City, not to mention the east of the Yalu River, it is completely under the control of His Royal Highness the King of Chu. As long as we take the cities around the new city, it basically means that our Datang has completely conquered Goguryeo, and the entire Liaodong has completely become the territory of our Datang. ”

Although Song Jian has only been in Datang for less than two months, no matter what time it is, he already considers himself a Tang person.

"There are now nearly 30,000 troops in the domestic city, but we can continue to sweep the other cities, and when the time comes, we can directly join Your Majesty on the way."

Cheng Chuliang thought about it and agreed to Zhu Biao and Song Jian's proposal.

"In this way, Song Zhi, you take 5,000 people to stay in the domestic city and stabilize the situation, Zhu Biao and Song Jian, you go to Mudi City with me, and take all the cities along the way."

The domestic city is Zhu Biao's base camp, and Cheng Chuliang naturally will not keep Zhu Biao to continue to be stationed here.

Otherwise, if people turn back and give the army a blow in the back, it will be a lot of fun.

Although this possibility is not very high, Cheng Chuliang does not want to take this risk.

Besides, the Song Jian brothers, as the first group of Goguryeo people to defect to the Tang Army, are still Goguryeo people with no background, so they are naturally worth reusing.

Now letting Song Zhi stay in the domestic city basically means that the domestic city is handed over to him to rule.

In just two months, Song Zhi has changed from an unknown butcher to the lord of the domestic city, and if he wants to sit firmly in this position, he can only firmly protect the thighs of Datang.

Otherwise, without the Tang Dynasty's action, the Goguryeo people would be able to tear him apart.

"Thank you, General Cheng! I will definitely live up to the general's expectations, and I will definitely run the domestic city steadily and properly, but if anyone in the city can't get along with our Datang, I will severely punish him. ”

Song Zhi was overjoyed when he heard Cheng Chuliang's words.

And although Zhu Biao felt a little uncomfortable, he could only pinch his nose to accept it.

"No problem, the subordinates will arrange for people to prepare grain and grass now, and in the afternoon, you can take thousands of troops as the vanguard to explore the way for you, the general!"

"Good! Then it's hard for General Zhu! ”

Cheng Chuliang was not polite, and let Zhu Biao take the lead, which was the best arrangement.

As the lord of the domestic city, Zhu Biao still has a certain reputation in Goguryeo.

With his example, Pyongyang and Seoul have sent envoys to various cities to persuade them to surrender, and the rest of the war should not be difficult.

……

"Report! General Zhu successfully took the city and was already waiting for the arrival of the army at the gate of the city! ”

"Report! Zhangfeng City has been taken ahead, and a small force in the city that is unwilling to surrender has been suppressed! ”

"Report! The city lord of Shifang City has already returned to the Tang Dynasty and is now preparing to welcome the arrival of the army! ”

Starting from the domestic city, within a few days, Cheng Chuliang began to receive various good news one after another.

The various cities of Goguryeo can almost be described as falling from the wind.

Although Yuangai Suwen controlled eighty percent of Goguryeo's military power before, the city lords of each city are actually local wealthy families, and they are very flexible, and they will not put their families in danger for the sake of Yuangai Suwen.

As a result, when the news spread that Pyongyang, Seoul, Naeseong, Ugguseong, and Liaodong Fortress had all fallen, Goguryeo was established in the north and south, and the Yalu River was blocked, the various city lords immediately made the right choice.

The few cities that wanted to resist were basically under Zhu Biao's attack, and they were in chaos first.

In this way, Cheng Chuliang marched in a hurry for half a month, and almost no knife or arrow came in handy.

Although this situation is very smooth, it is the most beneficial to Datang.

But Cheng Chuliang's heart is full of bitterness.

I just want to command a campaign on my own, why is this request so difficult to fulfill?

In the end, when the time comes, the "hero" who won more than a dozen cities in Goguryeo, he actually hasn't fought a decent battle, right?

Ay!

Happiness troubles!

"Woodbottom City has also surrendered?"

When Cheng Chuliang received the news brought back by the scout, he felt like he was in despair.

From the domestic city to the Mudi city, it is basically the main city of Goguryeo in the northeast of Liao, and it is not easy to count on a big city like Mudi City, is there a battle worth looking forward to, and the result is that the people change faster.

"Yes, I heard that Gaimu City has been taken by our Datang, and the soldiers in Mudi City, who are unwilling to surrender to Datang, have already fled, and when the vanguard led by General Zhu arrives in Mudi City, the remaining soldiers who defend the city will surrender directly!"

Cheng Chuliang: 。。。。。

The baby's heart is bitter!
