Chapter 828: Pyongyang City (Part 1)
Li Mu stood in front of the city of Pyongyang, staring at the city in front of him.
"It's not very big......" This is the most direct feeling in Li Mu's heart.
This Pyongyang city is not like other cities that Li Mu is familiar with, although it also has walls, but it is not high; The area is not small, but it is limited compared to Xiangping City.
Within twenty miles outside of Pyongyang, there were seven or eight small villages and towns, and according to the reports of Zhao Jun's scouts, these villages were empty at the moment, and they must have all been evacuated into the city.
Li Mu now placed the camp in a small town five miles west of Pyongyang City, which actually resembled a small militarized fortress, and it seemed that it should be used to defend Pyongyang City, but the North Koreans were now short of troops, so they could only abandon all these outlying strongholds.
Li Mu came to a conclusion: "This is obviously the suburban system of the Shang Dynasty, no wonder many people Zeng Yun, the son of Korea, would rather be a merchant than a merchant and disobey the king of Zhou Tianzi, it seems that this is indeed the case." ”
"The suburbs?" Yi Qusheng interjected and said, "What is the suburbs?" ”
Li Mu glanced at Yiqusheng with great disdain, obviously very uninterested in this uneducated guy: "The capital of the Shang Dynasty, with Wangji as the Dayi, is called 'Dayi Shang'. There are suburbs outside the city, and there are many small towns and small towns in the suburbs, which are used to defend the capital. The suburbs are wild, when King Wu of Zhou arrived in the field of Dayi Shang, and the army of King Shang fought in the pasture of the field, so it was called the 'Battle of Muye'. ”
Yi Qusheng thought very seriously for a while, and then nodded: "I don't understand." ”
Li Mu rolled his eyes helplessly, and did not pay attention to Yiqusheng, but continued to observe the city in front of him.
There is a very obvious difference between the cities of the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, that is, although the Shang Dynasty also had the pattern of small cities and large Guo, the small cities (Miyagi) were usually in the northeast, and the small cities (Miyagi) of the Zhou Dynasty were usually in the southwest, which was just the opposite.
"So this shows that you Zhou Dynasty people are actually anti-thieves, so after the rebellion, you want to fight against the Shang Dynasty for everything, even the layout of the city." Yiqu Sheng made a judgment.
Li Mu glanced at Yiqusheng, Yiqusheng was full of excitement, and the whole person jumped out of a zhang in an instant.
"So this means that this time we should use Miyagi in the northeast as the main point of attack, idiot!" Li Mu unceremoniously made a judgment on Yi Qusheng's IQ.
Yiqusheng smiled, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed: "Hey, look, someone has come out!" ”
Li Muleng paused for a moment, looked in the direction of Yi Qusheng's finger, and sure enough, he found that someone was coming in the direction of the camp under a banner.
After a while, Ju Xin appeared in front of Li Mu: "Governor Dadu, someone who came claimed to be the envoy of the Korean monarch Ji Run, and wanted to ask to see the Governor of Dadu. ”
Although the qualifications are older than Li Mu, in this battle, Ji Xin is the deputy general, and Li Mu is the main general, which comes from the appointment of Zhao Dan in Handan City.
Li Mu nodded and said, "Let's take people to the handsome tent." ”
A moment later, a middle-aged man with fluttering sleeves and long hair under his chin and a rather square look appeared in front of Li Mu in the handsome tent: "Yaqing Jizheng of North Korea, I came here on the order of my king and have seen the governor of Dadu. ”
Li Mu glanced at each other up and down, and said in a deep voice: "Why did you come here this time?" ”
Ji Zheng looked at Li Mu and said, "On the orders of my king, I want to ask about the whereabouts of the prince of my country." ”
Li Mu said: "Ji Xing has resisted stubbornly and has been killed by the generals under my command. ”
Ji Zheng's body shook when he heard this, his face showed a gloomy look, and he sighed: "Sure enough, I have already advised the king and the crown prince long before sending the army, saying that it is not a good strategy to confront the Zhao State, but the prince insisted on not listening to me, resulting in today's disaster, which is really sad and lamentable." ”
Li Mu looked at Ji Zheng quietly and didn't say a word.
Ji Zheng seemed to be a little embarrassed by Li Mu, and said after a while: "Metropolitan Governor, in addition to the whereabouts of the crown prince, I still want to ask the metropolitan governor when I came this time, I don't know why the metropolitan governor led the army to come?" ”
Li Mu laughed, and couldn't help showing a hint of mockery on his face: "You can go back and tell your king, let him think slowly." ”
Ji Zheng coughed twice in embarrassment, and finally said reluctantly: "...... Dadu Governor, the Korean State is willing to seal the gold 1,000, gold (copper) 500,000, and a number of other treasures, and our king also wants to go to Handan to pay tribute, in exchange for the retreat of the Dadu Governor. ”
Li Mu looked at the Ji Zheng in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little speechless in his heart.
No matter how you look at it, this guy isn't a very good lobbyist.
Li Mu waved his hand and said: "There is a cloud in the Book of Songs, 'Putian is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister'." Now that I am the governor of Zhao State, I should see the land and take it, how can you and other tributary ministers be more pleasant than the ministers of Zhao State? The Korean State will not be allowed to exist in the future, and the only thing that can exist is the land of the Joseon County of the Zhao State! ”
Ji Zheng paused for a moment, and then said: "Governor, forgive Ji Zheng's words, this sentence does not seem to mean this, its real meaning is ......"
"Enough!" Li Mu impatiently interrupted Ji Zheng's words: "There is no need to say more, and go back and tell the king of Joseon that if he surrenders now, he can still get the title of the king of Joseon." If you resist to the end, the day the city is broken, it will be the time when the Ruji clan will be wiped out! ”
An hour later, Mi Zheng returned to his palace in Pyongyang. Here, all the important figures of North Korea, including the king of North Korea, have gathered and are waiting for the return of Mijong.
Ji Zheng didn't dare to slack off, stepped forward and saluted: "Wechen has seen the king!" ”
King Ji Yun of North Korea is a man who looks a little chubby, about fifty years old, and after seeing Ji Zheng, he asked eagerly: "Yaqing, did Li Mu promise to retire from the army?" ”
This is also the question that all Korean monarchs and ministers are most eager to know.
Ji Zheng shook his head and said, "King, Li Mu is not willing to retreat. Moreover, he has already made it clear to his ministers that he came here this time to incorporate the entire territory of Korea into the territory of Zhao State! ”
Saying that, Ji Zheng told all the conversations between himself and Li Mu in 1510.
This immediately made the entire hall boil.
"What a Li Mu, he dares to speak so wildly!"
"King, we will definitely teach Li Mu to know the power of the Koreans this time!"
There was a surge of emotion.
"Enough!" King Ji Yun of North Korea slapped the table in front of him vigorously and shouted: "Shut up the widow, the widow's words haven't been asked yet!" ”
The main hall slowly fell silent.
Ji Run continued to ask: "Yaqing, can you find out the whereabouts of the crown prince from Li Mu's mouth?" ”
Ji Zheng's expression darkened, and he said to Ji Run: "Please also mourn on the King's Day, the prince has died in the battlefield." ”
"What?" The faces of Mirun and many ministers of the Korean state changed drastically.
Although some of the people who broke through that day finally fled back to Korea, they fled back to the main force that attracted the attention of the Zhao army to the east, and the army led by Ji Xing who fled north was wiped out under the pursuit of Li Mu.
This news was obviously not a small blow to the Korean king Jirun, and I saw him cry out sadly, "Xing'er!" Then he cried bitterly in public.
The courtiers panicked at this time, and hurriedly began to comfort them, and after making a fuss for almost half an hour, they finally persuaded Ji Run's mood to calm down a little.
Ji Run gritted his teeth and said: "Pass the order, the whole army is on alert, and the widow is going to fight with this damn Li Mu!" ”
When Ji Run's words came out, although a few people spoke out in response, most of the Korean courtiers had different faces and did not speak.
Ji Yun obviously noticed this, and said angrily: "Why, the widow has raised you for so many years, and now you don't even have the courage to fight to the death for the Korean country?" ”
This sentence was very serious, and the Korean ministers immediately confessed their guilt to Jiyun.
But confession is confession, and there are still some things to say.
I saw an old minister and said: "The king, it's not that the ministers are unwilling to die for the king, but the king should have heard Yaqing say just now, then Li Mu claimed that if he didn't surrender, he would be the dead of the Ji clan on the day the city was broken. For the sake of the future of the Kei clan, please think twice. ”
This old minister is the oldest person in the Kei clan today, and his words are actually quite weighty.
Sure enough, after this old minister spoke, many other North Korean ministers also spoke in agreement.
"Yes, yes, the king, please think about it, with the power of the prince to lead an army of 50,000 is not the opponent of Li Mu's 20,000 people, how can we win."
"King, now that Pyongyang has no troops in the country, and there is no other place to collect reinforcements, it is really powerless to fight the people of Zhao."
All of a sudden, such remarks filled the entire hall, and the voices of the three or two kittens of the main battle faction were immediately drowned out.
To put it bluntly, these ministers don't really care who is their king.
Whether it is the king of Zhao or the king of Joseon, if he wants to rule this part of Korea, then he must rely on the strength of these ministers. Therefore, even if these ministers surrender to Zhao State, they will not be treated less, and they may even get more power because they hold the super thick thighs of Zhao State.
But if you resist to the end, although Li Mu's words are only aimed at the Ji clan, everyone knows that slaughtering the city will be indispensable at that time, so won't everyone be all dead?
As for the possibility of victory in resistance...... It doesn't exist at all! As the first general of North Korea, Ji Xing died at the hands of Li Mu, which completely crushed the will of the North Korean ministers to resist.
In the midst of the tide of persuasion, the Korean king Jiyun closed his eyes very painfully.
A group of rebels, a group of rebels!
To tell the truth, he wanted to fight with Zhao Guoren from the bottom of his heart, but Ji Yun also knew very well that as long as he gave this order, then these surrender factions in front of him would already find a way to dedicate themselves and the entire Pyongyang city to Li Mu to ensure their safety!
Unless Kei Jun directly attacks and kills these damn surrenderers here, the fall of Pyongyang City is almost a certainty.
After a long time, Mirun finally opened his eyes, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden.
"And send someone to inform Li Mu, just say-this king, it's down!"
