Chapter 32: Please Surrender

The Hunjiang River is the largest tributary of the Yalu River (called Mazi Water at this time), and was even once considered to be the main trunk of the Yalu River, but aside from these, the Hunjiang River, which has a nearly 90-degree turn in the middle, and the upper reaches of the Yalu River are perfectly enclosed in a rectangular area under the Changbai Mountain.

This is the greatest gift for human beings.

Historically, after the Goguryeo people were forced to rebel by Wang Mang, they reconciled with the Han established by Guangwu, but as the country's military expansion eventually aroused the vigilance of the Han Dynasty, the two countries finally entered a long period of military friction. In the face of the huge military pressure of the Han Dynasty, the Goguryeo people, who originally established their capital in the Susheng Bone City on the west side of the Hunjiang River, immediately set their sights on the opposite bank of their own capital, which is the feng shui treasure land mentioned before!

Surrounded by water on three sides and backed by the Changbai Mountains on one side, this territory provided the best defense facilities of the classical era, and then the territory was extremely open and fully capable of providing sufficient agricultural security...... And that's enough!

For more than 100 years, the Goguryeo people have taken this long strip of land as their foundation, and have continued to expand, and have become a 'big country' with a population of hundreds of thousands under the nose of the Han Dynasty.

However, when the first year of the Great Han Guanghe was about to pass, the Han people finally broke through the protection that the Goguryeo people had built on the periphery for hundreds of years, and burned the war to the banks of the Hunjiang River.

This may be a bit inaccurate, because when Xu Rong attacked the most important stronghold of the Goguryeo people on the Hunjiang River, that is, their old capital Susheng Bone City, he did not set any fire, and only seven or eight dead people died...... The latter was mainly due to the fact that when the vanguard entered the Goguryeo palace in this city, they couldn't help but carry out some looting, and then provoked a small street battle.

Of course, this was just a small episode, with the arrival of thousands of cavalry and the hanging of the heads of hundreds of Goguryeo people who dared to resist, the old capital of the Goguryeo people still completely fell into the hands of the Han army.

And no matter what, no matter how easily the fall of this city is, it cannot erase the great strategic significance of the Han army to gain it......

First of all, this is the old capital of the Goguryeo people, and it is the second largest city in the Goguryeo Kingdom, and its fall itself has enough political significance, even if the Han army ends here, it is enough to loot the city and then burn it home, which is enough to leave a name in history, and from the perspective of Gongsun Xun, it is enough to achieve the intended purpose;

Secondly, Susheng Bone City is also a hub city on the Hunjiang River, and controlling it means that the long area at the core of the Goguryeo people has been completely opened, and even if the Hunjiang River is frozen, the capital of the Goguryeo people under the Ji'an Mountains will still be open to the Han army!

Not to mention, Xu Rong also inadvertently caught a super big fish in this city.

"You're the Ming Lin Respondent?" Looking at the short and tattered little old man in front of him, Xu Bojin was also skeptical. "Since you entered the city half a day earlier than us, why didn't you defend the city, but let us rush into the city so calmly?"

"Returning to this general...... "Ming Lin's husband, who was sitting on the ground, could be said to have lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes.

"Call me Sima immediately, there is only one general in our army." Xu Rong immediately frowned and interrupted the other party's praise.

"Yes, this Sima." Ming Lin replied immediately and replied in a fairly neat Chinese. "I did want to defend the old capital, but I had no choice but to ...... This time, I entered the city alone, with no one around me, and no one even helped to prove my identity at first. ”

"Where's the people around you?" Xu Rong couldn't help but be curious when he heard this. "A dignified country should not be separated from its branches, and it has been in charge of the government for decades, even if the army is defeated, there should be some people around you to follow, right?"

"The old man has deliberately abolished the old system over the years, and he has offended many nobles in the country...... The defeat was like this, and they naturally pushed me away. "Ming Lin replied that he was still very honest." When I was pursued by Sima along the way, I asked them to come to Susheng Bone City, but they clamored together, and they wanted to take advantage of the ice of the Hunjiang River to cross the river directly to the national capital......"

"Then why don't you go along?" Xu Rong became more and more strange. "If you go to your capital, maybe you will still do something, and you are here alone, aren't you sending it into my hands?"

"First, this city is really a vital place, and I dare not abandon it; Second, I really didn't expect Sima to be so fast. At this point, Ming Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly. Third, with the current situation, I don't dare to go to the national capital. ”

"Are you afraid of being punished by your king?"

"Returning to this Sima, it's not that I'm afraid of punishing crimes, in fact, there is no explicit justice in our Goguryeo Kingdom, and if a person commits a crime, everyone can talk about it together with a louder voice...... And my family is a great clan of my own country, and even if the army is defeated, it will be difficult for them to punish me. ”

"And what are you afraid of?"

"It's ...... fear of them"

"Stay!" Xu Rong suddenly waved his hand to stop the other party's explanation, and turned to listen. "What's going on outside, how do I sound like someone is making noise from afar?"

Several guards immediately turned around and ran out of the palace, but they quickly returned, and then replied with an excited face: "Sima, everyone outside is shouting, saying that the general has entered the city, and many people are going to the west gate to cheer and greet!" ”

"It's coming so fast!" Xu Rong and Ming Lin were stunned together, but the latter didn't dare to shout.

"Let this man change his clothes, and then quickly take him with me to see the general." After Xu Rong was stunned, he quickly stopped this temporary interrogation, and quickly ordered another thing to the guards beside him. "By the way, clean up the palace and let the general stay!"

Gongsun Xun is indeed here.

In fact, when he determined that the Goguryeo army in front of him was completely destroyed, he only took dozens of white horse cavalry and went straight here along the passage of a thousand mountains full of corpses.

This is not to say that he is utilitarian, on the contrary, he just wants to disgust Xuanwu Taishou Juteng...... In other words, when the latter heard that there was a great victory ahead and that the 50,000 troops of Goguryeo were wiped out in one day, he was first shocked like everyone else, and then he also showed the demeanor of a Han dynasty with 2,000 stone in the border county. It is said that at that time, the drama Taishou didn't even care about changing his shoes, so he went directly to the court of the official temple and launched the power of the entire Xuansu County.

To tell the truth, when the battle came to this, Gongsun Xun didn't feel that he would lose credit and reputation...... The other people have indeed made a lot of efforts, and it can even be said that the outcome of this battle is unknown without the support of Ju Teng, so it doesn't hurt to share some of his credits and let this guy be a marquis.

But the problem is that when Gongsun Xun learned the details of the request for reinforcements on the day of the trial, that is, after the latter had to eat the paperwork, he couldn't help but feel a little protective of his shortcomings, so he took advantage of the fact that the other party had not yet come, and went straight to the front army, deliberately letting Ji Teng pounce...... This is like teasing a cat with dried fish, but in fact, it has no practical effect, it is just pure willfulness.

Of course, no one will think that Gongsun Xun is not qualified to do this now...... Especially after even the Susheng Bone City has been taken by the Han army in the blink of an eye.

"You've worked hard!" Gongsun Xun, who was under the White Horse, saw the officers of the Han army who came out in a hurry to greet him, and he also waved to him like a mischief.

No one shouted 'serve the big man' with their heads held high, but almost everyone hurriedly bowed.

Gongsun Xun raised his head and laughed, and then he stepped forward to help everyone up, and at this time, Xu Rong was also busy appearing in the field of vision.

"Meet the General!"

Seeing that the people who were chasing out with him, such as Shan Dun, Mo Huyi, Duan Ri Yu Ming, Han Dang, Gongsun Yue and others, had already gathered around Gongsun Xun, and the generals in the city were actually only one of them, Xu Rong, who had obviously won the battle, was a little inexplicably weak-hearted, so he immediately bowed down from afar.

"Xu Sima, please get up." Gongsun Xun also hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, and then held his arm to help the other party up. "A few days ago, I saw Sima Chang drive through the enemy camp on the high platform, and today I heard that you went straight into this city non-stop.

Xu Rong was overjoyed, and the uneasiness that had inexplicably surged out before also disappeared: "The general anticipates the enemy first, and the command is determined, and the overall situation is achieved, so that there is a big victory in this battle!" ”

"Okay, you and I don't have to flatter each other." Gongsun Xun dragged the other party's arm and stood parallel to the other party. "Let's get down to business, the drama Taishou has already reached the original seat, so I'll take the first step...... Let me ask you, I don't know what the morale of the army is, can I start besieging the capital of Goguryeo as soon as possible? ”

Xu Rong was stunned for a moment: "Although the soldiers are fast, why is the general so anxious?" I mean that since the city of Susheng has fallen, it is better to rest for a moment or two, wait for the rear troops to arrive, and then gather a large army and calmly capture the capital of Goguryeo. ”

"Xu Sima's words are wrong!" At this moment, Mo Huqi suddenly jumped out. "Since the general has a military order, you and I can act directly on orders, why do you need to ask?"

As soon as these words came out, all the surrounding generals actually nodded in agreement with Mo Huyun, which made Xu Rong speechless for a while, and the sense of uneasiness that he had just lost just now also came back suddenly, but he didn't know why, so he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

However, seeing the attendants behind him running from the palace, Xu Rong also quickly changed the topic and invited Gongsun Xun to stay in the palace, feast first, and then talk about the march at the banquet.

However, as soon as these words came out, the surroundings were cold again, and even Gongsun Xun stopped immediately.

Although the reason for "this ......" is still a little unclear, Xu Rong knows where he should have done something wrong, so he can't help but be a little flustered.

Gongsun Xun felt funny when he saw this, and he only now realized that although Xu Rong was a good hand at fighting, he was very slow in politics.

You must know that although Goguryeo is only a small country, after all, it has been established for almost 200 years, and their king of Goguryeo has been officially canonized by Guangwu, in other words, the regulations of this great king are serious, worthy of the name, and recognized by the central court. And Gongsun Xun's trip, even if he really destroyed Goguryeo in the end, it is estimated that when he finally reports it, he will pinch his nose and make a nonsense such as 'crusade against rebellion for the king of Goguryeo' to cover it up......

In this case, Gongsun Xunyan, who had sent troops privately, could he enter the enemy's palace without knowing anything? Isn't that unpleasant? Not to mention, there is a Xuansu Taishou behind him, what if he is grabbed by the tail of Ji Teng behind him, and then the toad crawls to his feet, and he can't bite you to death, what should you do?

In fact, this point of political sensitivity, not to mention Gongsun Xun, Gongsun Yue and others, is also the Hu leaders such as Mo Huqi, Mudun, Duan Ri and Yu Ming...... Even for them, this kind of nominal matter is probably more serious.

However, it was Xu Rong, the general of the Han army, who was a little caught off guard...... In fact, he seemed to have come from the direction of the palace just now, maybe he himself rested there last night, and it is even conceivable that there should also be a possibility that Xu Rong's subordinates would loot it.

Judging from the reactions of other generals, everyone should be generally dissatisfied, so they insinuated in front of his Gongsun Xun.

"It's okay, it's just the palace," as soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xun took the initiative to exonerate Xu Rong. "And today's Goguryeo king is still a powerful minister, so he may not have to be respected...... In this way, there is no need to live, and a feast is held inside, and then all the officers of the army and above will go in and see it, except for those who must be defended. ”

Everyone was relieved by this, and then they were all interested.

"In the kung fu just now, Xu Sima made two big mistakes." When he came to the palace, seeing Gongsun Xun taking advantage of the banquet to comfort those middle-level officers who could enter, a voice suddenly came from behind Xu Rong's ears.

Xu Bojin looked back and took a closer look, only to find that the speaker was actually Ming Lin's husband...... It turned out that what happened just now made the former panic for a while, so he didn't have time to hand over this person to Gongsun Xun.

"Little Lao'er has no other intentions." Ming Lin replied in a low voice. "It's just that Meng Sima treats him politely, and I myself have a lot of administrative affairs and a little more confidence in people's hearts, so I disregard my identity and say a few more words......"

"Tell me about it." Xu Rong was really a little confused.

"First, Xu Sima, you shouldn't offer the palace in public, it's a very taboo thing, and you shouldn't have occupied ...... privately before."

"It's really something I didn't think about." Xu Rong immediately realized. "I forgot that this is the palace, and I shouldn't have asked the general to stay, let alone stayed here last night."

"Second, Xu Sima, you shouldn't refute your general's intention to march quickly in public......"

"The general has already made up his mind to march?" Xu Rongden was speechless. "Didn't he specifically ask me if I should march in?"

Ming Lin replied to the husband was also speechless for a while: "Xu Sima, since your general said that the drama Taishou has arrived in the original place, it is clear that he doesn't want to give the credit to the drama Taishou, so he wants to march quickly, take your hand and say this, and even ask you to take the initiative to agree...... This truth is that those Xianbei people can hear it, how can you not understand these joints?! ”

Xu Rong was dumbfounded.

"And," continued Minglindafu. "Although I don't know what the relationship between Xu Sima and that drama Taishou is, since your general took the initiative to talk to you about this matter, it seems that he has something to look forward to you......"

Xu Rong became more and more embarrassed when he heard this: "I am the main Sima of Xuanwu County, and the drama Taishou is my lord." ”

Ming Lin's answer slightly drooped his eyelids: "Then what does Xu Sima think, does he want to help this Gongsun general, or do he want to help the prince of the drama family?" ”

"Of course, it's General Gongsun." Xu Rong responded without hesitation. "The drama Taishou came to my county for a few months, but he didn't see kindness, but although General Gongsun only got along for a few days, he faintly had the style of a general, my generation can be in charge of ten thousand armies, and the battle has come so far, all thanks to his command! And not only me, but I respect the general, and whoever in the army is not convinced, it is the other reinforcements sent by the drama Taishou later, but it is only a few days, and I am also convinced. ”

"I think so." Ming Lin replied quickly and nodded. "Although this Gongsun general is young, he does have skills. Just now, I saw at a glance that Xu Sima had fallen into a stalemate, so I took the initiative to defend you, first shut up and stopped talking about the army, and then led the whole army up and down the palace, and someone in the province chewed your tongue......"

Xu Rong couldn't help but nod slowly when he heard this, and then suddenly spoke: "Actually, I still made a third big mistake. ”

Ming Lin replied that he couldn't help but laugh dryly.

……………………

"He is Goguryeo Moli Zhiming Lindafu?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing. "I thought it was Mr. Xu Sima who found the bookkeeper from...... However, under the confrontation for many days, although the face cannot be seen clearly, the body shape is the opposite of the shape of this beard, which should be right. ”

"The general of the defeated army made the general smile." Ming Lin replied to the husband hurriedly smiled dryly and knelt down to plead guilty. "It shouldn't have been against the Han Heavenly Soldiers, so that it made people laugh."

"Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and it was not impossible for you to win a few days ago, and if you win, wouldn't I also make people laugh?" Gongsun Xun, who was sitting at the top, said disapprovingly. "However, the overall situation of the war has been decided, and the next thing is nothing more than whether your country can be taken by us, and then how to end this war...... Mo Lizhi is so honest at this time, I think there are some words with me? ”

"Exactly." Ming Lin replied to the husband hurriedly bowed and saluted. "Now that the overall situation has been decided, please ask the general to allow me to continue to preside over the domestic situation in Goguryeo after the war......"

Gongsun Xun was asking, and everyone naturally wanted to hold their breath, but as soon as this Ming Lin replied to his words, there was an irrepressible laughter around him, and Gongsun Xun was also stunned: "You are real enough!" ”

"Foreign ministers, don't dare to deceive in front of the general's divine might." Ming Lin replied to his knees in the lobby of the palace, and then answered with his head held high. "Please also ask the general to allow me to explain my reasons......"

"Tell me about it." Gongsun Xun is not without this patience.

"General," said Ming Lin's husband sincerely. "The contemptible people in Zaohara defeated almost all the troops in our Goguryeo Kingdom in one go, from the nobles of all the ministries to the people of the cities, they all hate me to the bone, if I still govern Goguryeo, then the only one I can rely on after the war is the Han, because I will not be disloyal! This is one of them! ”

"There must be one and there is two," Gongsun Xun said with a playful face. "Don't leave the branch and continue!"

"Second," said Ming Lindafu, who did not pay any attention to the ridicule of the superior, but continued. "Although I am hated by the whole country, the rafter of the clan is one of the five tribes of Goguryeo after all, plus the dumb and dumb department of Guan is dead, and the whereabouts of the Huan department are not known for Yu Yu, and the royal family is also greatly injured by the vitality I killed in the past, so although these people hate me, they can't do anything about me, I still have the ability to do things for the Han Dynasty."

"Is there any power in your clan?" Gongsun Xun was really interested. "As far as I know, don't you say that there are fifteen hundred palace guards in your capital? You are not in the capital now, if the king you set up has some means, I am afraid that your family will be destroyed at this time, right? ”

"The general thinks too highly of our king." Ming Lin couldn't help but sneer. "It's too underestimating the aristocratic power in our country, the royal family is only one of the six clans, and when the palace was abolished, their power was already greatly reduced, even the fifteen hundred palace guards were just the private soldiers of our three departments...... How can we destroy our rafters? ”

"Is that so?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

"And that's not all." Ming Lin replied to the kneeling and bowed his head. "In fact, our Goguryeo system is lacking, and there is no clear law as a basis for everything, and the size of the official position is also divided according to the size of the power in the clan...... In my opinion, the situation in our Goguryeo capital, not to mention the destruction of our rafters, those nobles who fled back may not even be able to elect a leader! ”

"That's why you're not going back?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh suddenly. "If you go back and set a target for them, will you let these rabbles unite against your rafters, and then cause civil strife?"

Ming Lin replied to the ground and did not reply for a while.

"That's the case," Gongsun Xun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this, and then raised his voice to ask. "Your country is scattered, wouldn't it be easy for me to march at this time?"

"With all due respect, I'm afraid that's not the case." Ming Lin replied quickly and raised his head and replied seriously. "If the general does not go, they will naturally have constant disputes, but if the general is really besieging the city, I am afraid that they will unite around our king, and the last hidden power of the various tribes will also be taken out...... Our capital of Goguryeo has been built for more than 100 years, with its back to Ji'an Mountain, and the city walls are strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

On the side, Han Dang and the others originally wanted to frown and scold, but at this time, the banquet had not been held for a long time, and they did not really lose their proportions, so seeing that Gongsun Xun on the top actually became serious, for a while, no one dared to say more.

"Then that's the third," Gongsun Xun said slowly. "Don't you want to say that the siege may not be beneficial, so you want to persuade me not to attack the city?"

"General Mingjian!" Ming Lin's thin figure couldn't help but be shocked. "If it is really a siege, it may not be possible, but if the general can spare our Goguryeo capital and let him take charge of the state affairs at that time, then I guarantee that the wealth of the country will definitely be paid to the Han, the general and all ......of you."

"Goguryeo is a small country," Gongsun Xun suddenly stood up and said. "Is it just money to take the initiative to raise a sword?"

"My king is naturally willing to go to Luoyang." Ming Lin replied that he continued to speak earnestly. "It doesn't hurt to kill or chop, and the general has him in hand, so there is naturally no need to worry about this credit, and it is natural for the subject to cut the land......

"But what if I still think it's not enough?" Gongsun Xun came to the other party with a cup and asked.

"If the general feels that it is not enough, he is willing to hand over the minerals and mountains and forests in the country to the Amway in the general's house!" Ming Lin replied to the husband and immediately kowtowed again. "Be sure to measure Goguryeo's material resources and tie the favor of the general!"

Gongsun Xun sighed: "I understand, Ming Lin answered!" ”

"Yes!"

"I was still strange when Xu Sima said about you just now, with your intelligence, don't you know that you can't defend the Susheng Bone City alone? Why, then, do you want to be here alone, so that you fall into the net? If you can't come to Susheng Bone City, you can't go to the national capital, what if you go to any other remote town to hide, why do you have to come here? ”

“……”

"Now it seems that Ming Lin answer, this time you actually took the initiative to ask for a prisoner, and you want to say these words to me, right?"

"General Mingjian!" Ming Linda lowered his head deeply.
