Chapter 34: The Destruction of the State
The end of the year is approaching, and Gongsun Xun has made up his mind to end this twists and turns of 'winter hunting' in the first year of Guanghe.
In fact, when the sky became more and more gloomy, and even began to sound a rare winter thunder, everyone knew that this final battle could not be delayed, otherwise there might be some bad weather, and it would not be a joke to accidentally make a large-scale non-combat attrition.
However, everyone is also optimistic about ending the war in time...... Because even when the Great Army surrounded the four gates and built siege equipment, the situation in the capital of Goguryeo was also exposed with the flight of a few people.
It turned out that Gongsun Xun's 'vanguard' strategy worked wonders.
Miru came back three days ago, and his brother's tragic death in front of him made him almost lose his reason, and Ming Lin Dafu had been executed by Gongsun Xun, so he didn't hesitate to mobilize the Guanna tribe in his headquarters almost as soon as he returned to the city, and then carried out a psychological attack on the leaderless rafters of the dragons.
Moreover, because of the righteousness of accountability after the war, and the fact that many people were dissatisfied with the suppression of Ming Lin Tafu on weekdays, many people outside of Kanna participated in the siege of Rafter Nabu at this time.
And the rafter was wiped out almost in just two or three days, and the kind that didn't even let go of the baby.
This is not over, Miru, who controlled the situation first, was red-eyed, and after seeing Yu Yi staying, he turned his gaze at the latter again...... After all, this person should also be partly responsible for the worrying death. Although Yu Qiliu still had some bearing at first, hoping to unite Miru to fight against the Han army, with an unsuccessful attack on the night he first entered the city, he quickly abandoned his illusions and turned to the old army to intend to fight back.
You must know that although Yu Qiliu came back later, after all, he was a left-hand minister, and he was the rightful ruler of the state power after the death of his husband, and his deep foundation was not comparable to Miru at all. It's just that after all, Miru came three days early, and the liquidation of the rafters also had a great shock effect, plus the common hatred of the Guan, so he was not afraid of him.
As a result, the two continued to attack and kill for several days, but they were always comparable. In the end, the city was almost divided into two, Yu Qiliu occupied the east city, Miru occupied the west city, each controlled half of it, and even the remaining more than 1,000 palace guards were also divided into two, and the royal palace was also divided into two.
As for the king of Goguryeo, who had lost his clan power, he was obviously hiding in his palace, but he was trembling like a lost dog.
At this time, the two groups of people could still remember to separate some of the city's men and slaves to go to the city to pretend to be, which was already considered to be their concern for state affairs.
"It's snowing!"
At noon on this day, seeing the white floc that began to float in the sky fell on the tip of his nose and became cold, Yu Qiliu, who had a scruffy beard and red eyes, finally sobered up a little...... He had just lost the palace and was on his way to regain it. "The Han army won't wait any longer, it should be about to attack the city!"
"So what to do?" The younger brother who was staying on the side couldn't help but ask blankly.
"Tell Miru that I can't stand this situation where enemies stand in front of the door and my own family kills each other." Yu Yuliu suddenly felt his whole body sore, and then he took off his iron armor covered in dark red dirt in front of hundreds of samurai, and sat on the ground. "And I don't have the strength anymore. Didn't he just want to kill me to avenge his brother? Tell him, I'll give him my life and let him lead people to the city, okay?! ”
"What nonsense is my brother talking about?" As soon as these words came out, the younger brother who stayed next to him immediately knelt down and retorted. "After days of attacking and killing, the two clans have already become enemies of life and death, if you die in vain, then what if Miru still doesn't let us go? Even if he spares us, Miru knows that if he avenges his brother, will I be willing to serve him? Besides, Miru was captured so early, released so early, and so crazy when he came back, who knows if he defected to the Han general in the Han camp? Brother, don't forget, Miru's brother Ke Wei has already had a relationship with the Han general's family outside the city, God knows if Ke Shu is a Han spy or not?! ”
A series of rhetorical questions made Yu Jiliu feel gloomy, and the more he thought about the situation of being unable and powerless, the more helpless he became, and in the end he could only cry on the street.
"Drama Gong!" At this moment, outside the city, under a temporary high platform, Gongsun Xun took a step back with a smile and made a gesture to Ji Teng beside him. "The siege is imminent, it's time to boost morale, why don't you come first?"
"Hey, okay?" Juteng was also pleasantly surprised when he heard this.
To tell the truth, although the drama Taishou was always jumping around before, it was also because he knew in his heart that he couldn't take away Gongsun Xun's military power at all, so he hoped to brush up his sense of existence and show his face as much as possible in Luoyang.
However, Gongsun Xun repeatedly scolded him back, not to mention, he was indeed confident, not to mention that the previous battle was enough to go down in history, and he had a second plan to conquer the capital of Goguryeo this time, and the two generals were put back, and the last defensive force of the Goguryeo people was wiped out without a trace almost effortlessly.
At this time, our drama Taishou is actually very convinced, so I never expected that the other party would be so willing to give him face in the end! You know, at this time, when you take the lead in encouraging yourself and go back to write the recital, according to the truth, maybe Shang Shutai will give the credit for this final siege on his head.
If you knew this was the case, why did you make such a fuss before?
"The drama is casual." Gongsun Xun really didn't care. "It's snowing soon, you and I don't have to delay, we must pull out the city today."
"Thank you very much." Ji Teng, who was in a good mood, immediately tied his armor, and then came to the stage proudly, and the officers and men of the whole army recognized and did not recognize it, and they were all curious to watch.
"Soldiers!" Ji Teng held his head high, stood on the stage with a knife, and then shouted loudly. "The siege of the city is imminent, I hope that all the kings will work hard to move forward and kill the enemy bravely, I will record your merits in detail and report them to the Son of Heaven of Luoyang one by one......"
Everyone in the audience reacted differently when they heard this, but most of them maintained their respect for Juteng, and after a few words, they applauded warmly under the leadership of Gongsun Xun, and then discussed a lot...... To be honest, this weird way of expression made the drama Taishou a little uncomfortable, and the lack of cheers also disappointed him.
But no matter what, it's time to show your face.
Next, Ju Teng stepped down the high platform, and Gongsun Xun walked up the stairs with a knife, but he also stood on the high platform under the white horse. And as soon as he stood firm, the military formation, which was still noisy just now, suddenly fell silent, and the dramatic eyelids on the side jumped - the power of a general, how can this be?
"Since the beginning of the month, it has been nearly a month," Gongsun Xun didn't deliberately say loudly at first, but just said casually. "You have fought bravely. However, all these hardships will come to an end after today, because in front of me is the capital of Goguryeo, which has been established for nearly 200 years. Moreover, the treasures and treasures accumulated by Goguryeo in the city for more than 100 years are enough for you to make this trip worthwhile! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was inevitably a bang in the military formation, from top to bottom, and it was not exempt from vulgarity.
The snow on his head gradually became obvious, but Gongsun Xun quietly waited for the whole army to settle down before continuing to speak, and this time, his accent was inevitably a lot louder: "Gentlemen, in the past, you should have heard it from your own officials, I have sworn with the generals in the army, this battle, my Gongsun Xun did not take a penny, and all the gains belonged to the monarchs, today, this statement is still vivid, and I will never regret it!" ”
The soldiers in the audience were just about to cheer, but Gongsun Xun raised his hand to stop them: "I said bluntly today, the young and strong people in the Goguryeo Kingdom were all lost in a battle, and the fortunes of the country are all tied to one city, and this city is so lax, isn't it the destiny of heaven for us to destroy this country?" ”
"So far, I have said bluntly, if you win this battle, you should destroy your country, destroy your species, capture your king, destroy your community, abolish your city walls, and cut off your inheritance!"
"At that time, the population of Goguryeo should be enslaved by the people of all the counties outside the Saiwai, so they are not allowed to kill without permission!"
"At that time, not only this city, but also the wealth and goods in the country will be divided into three, one with the Son of Heaven, one with the officers, one with the soldiers, and I will not take a penny from the rules of the drama! Therefore, after entering the city, the bulk of goods should be divided among the children, and they should not be kept privately! And if I and the drama boss violate this oath, we should devour it together with thunder! ”
Hearing this, the Han army and the horsemen in the audience couldn't hold it back, and cheered in unison, but the really sensible officers and officials were stunned when they said that the country was destroyed and the species was destroyed.
Especially Ji Teng, he didn't hear the absurd words that he was sworn at at all, because he was already pale when he was dying of the country and destroying the species, and he didn't dare to say a word, and he didn't dare to move half a step, just like Ye Gong who had seen a real dragon!
"Go to war!" In the midst of the noisy cheers, Gongsun Xun gently pulled out his broken blade, and then also gave a gentle command.
Immediately, officers at all levels were suddenly shocked, and they also urged the siege of the city.
"Collapse head, it's time to go!" It took a long time for Mo Hu to react, and then he hurriedly suppressed the beating of his heartbeat to urge his subordinates to march, but as soon as he turned around, he found that there was still a person beside him who had not moved, so he urged half a sentence by the way.
"That's how a husband should be!" Crashing back to China in a trance, he looked at Mo Hu and said. "It is time to destroy a country with a word, and abolish a clan with an order!"
Mo Huyun looked this Wuhuan Shan Yu's nephew up and down, but he couldn't help but shake his head...... Although they belong to two clans, they are both in Liaoxi, how does he not know that Liaoxi Wuhuan Shan Yu Qiu Liju is a person with prestige and ability, and the family has a son, unless Qiu Liju dies early, what capital does this Mudden have to say such things?
And it is that Bandun can really become Wuhuan Shan Yu one day, so in terms of the strength of Wuhuan in Liaoxi and the reality of being captive by the Han people, he said this in vain.
The drums rumbled, and tens of thousands of Han troops surrounded the eight city gates on all sides and began to storm the capital of Goguryeo. What is even more surprising is that at this moment, as if an appointment had been made, green smoke actually rose from the royal palace in the city, which made the escape behavior of Goguryeo City more and more uncontrollable.
The so-called siege war fell into the rhythm of destroying the city from the beginning!
A quarter of an hour ago......
"Uncle!" A pale young Goguryeo nobleman, sweating profusely, rushed to the front of the palace, then threw his bow and crossbow aside, and immediately knelt down beside Miru, who was slumped on the steps. "I made a big mistake!"
"What?" Miru was extremely tired, and her voice was a little hoarse.
"Just now, when I led someone to drive the people of Huan's department out of the palace, it turned out that the kid from Yu Ji's family kidnapped the king......"
"And then?"
"I shot an arrow, and the boy ran away, and the king was pushed by him to block the arrow......"
Rao is Miru was already a little nervous, and at this time, he couldn't help but look his nephew up and down: "Ketan, the king was shot to death by you?" ”
"Not dead yet." Dumb and dumb can worry about parents and children, and dumb and dumb can shake his head immediately. "But now that the bleeding can't be stopped, the witch doctor in the palace has already escaped!"
"Where's our own witch doctor?"
"Two days ago, when he said that it was unlucky to attack the palace, he was cut down by you, uncle!"
"Then I won't save it." Miru suddenly relaxed, then lowered her head and smiled. "A puppet king, the male of the Ju clan were all killed by Ming Lin's husband, and his two younger sisters were also occupied by his husband. has been a puppet for decades, and seven or eight sons have been killed by the husband, and more than a dozen daughters were given to this and that by the husband like the witches in the East Temple...... What is the meaning of this kind of king alive? He might want to thank you! ”
"However, Yu Yuliu should bring his troops back immediately, what if he catches this matter?" But Tan couldn't help but be anxious.
"It's too late." Miru looked up at the sky, then struggled to her feet to catch a snowflake. "It's snowing, the Han army is going to attack the city, it doesn't matter if Yu Yi stays or not."
"That ......" Ke Tan's immature face suddenly flashed with an inexplicable expectation. Should we open the door beforehand? ”
Miru was immediately stunned, and his hand unconsciously grasped the handle of the knife on his waist, but he immediately took the initiative to let go: "Ketan, do you think I am a spy of the Han people?" Or do you think that your father and I are both Han spies? ”
But Tan didn't dare to speak.
"Speak!" Miru asked sharply.
"Uncle." Ke Tan gritted his teeth and responded. "I've heard my father say that he does have a relationship with the elders of the general's family outside the city."
"Friendship is friendship." Miru immediately responded angrily. "State affairs are state affairs."
"And it's not just me, so many people are willing to follow us and Yu Yiliu to fight, hoping to defect to the Han people after the war." Ke Tan continued to speak anxiously. "Besides, uncle, after you come back, you will lead us to fight the rafters, forget it, and after Yu Jiliu comes back, he will continue to fight with Huan's department, and then the Han people will come...... Many people say that you are on the orders of the Han army outside the city. ”
Miru was dizzy and sat down on the steps in front of the palace again.
At this moment, the drums outside the city rumbled, as if the Han army was about to enter the city...... This made Miru immediately fall into a trance.
Zaohara was sent out by himself, his brother died, the forty or fifty thousand army was gone, Ming Lin Dafu died, the Susheng Bone City was gone, the king was gone, and most of the six nobles were gone, and now the king of his own family is gone, and then the capital will also fall...... What the hell did you do?!
In other words, what did this group of Goguryeo nobles do?!
As soon as he thought of this, Miru, who was almost as clear as returning to the light, got up again: "Ketan! ”
"Yes!"
"You take your clan to surrender, and when you see the Han people, you will directly say that your family and the Gongsun family are close friends, and the Gongsun aunt of the Amway has accepted you as a righteous son through a letter...... When you say this in public, the Han army and the Gongsun general on the opposite side have nothing to do with you, and when you see the Gongsun aunt of the Amway in Liaodong, you say that you are a worrying son, and the country is ruined and begging her to take it in, so that the clan may be able to continue! ”
"Yes!" The young Ketan couldn't help but be overjoyed, of course it was a good thing to be able to live. "What about you, uncle?"
"I'll clean up the palace, the seal in the palace and the head of the king are the capital of our future life." Miru chuckled, but turned around and walked towards the palace. "Hurry back and gather the people, if you can gather one more person, you will have one more life...... Just go! ”
But Tan was overjoyed, and immediately led the crowd to run away, all the way home.
However, before he could get home, he was shocked to see a puff of green smoke coming out of the palace, just like the Han army. The green smoke rises into the sky in the scattered snowflakes, almost connecting with the clouds overhead, which is very beautiful!
Yu Qiliu on the street of Dongcheng stared at the green smoke for a while, and then listened to the shouts of the Han army behind him from far and near, and also sighed, and then pulled out the knife without hesitation and plunged it into his throat.
Seeing this, the hundreds of samurai around him also scattered birds and beasts.
And in the evening of the same day, the battle subsided, and while the ground was white and clean, Gongsun Xun and Ji Teng also entered the city side by side.
Up to this date, since Wang Mang killed Jumeng and forced the rebellion against Goguryeo, this Northeast Asian political entity, which was half fishing, hunting, half Sinicized, half tribal alliance and half feudal, officially died 166 years after the founding of the country.
In the face of the fierce contradictions between the nobles and the people in the country, a group of aristocratic heroes who have clearly seen people and have demonstrated virtue are also painstaking, but in the end they did not let their country's national glory survive the New Year, and barely counted for another year.

"At the end of the first year of the Later Han Dynasty, Taizu ordered Xiangping, led Liaodong and Xuansu soldiers and horses, destroyed Goguryeo at the foot of Ji'an Mountain, destroyed its country, destroyed its species, killed its king, and destroyed its community, burned its palace, abolished its city walls, cut off its inheritance, and then sent hundreds of thousands of children of his country to Liaodong, Liaoxi, Xuansu, Changli, and Lelang counties, one household and one mouth, and became slaves. The counties are vast and sparsely populated, and the people are happy, and the people are ashamed. - "New Yanshu". Biography of Dongyi
PS: Historically, Goguryeo gradually fell into disappearance after the civil strife in the late Han Dynasty, but due to the civil strife in the Central Plains, this decline process was gradual, and later Goguryeo in the Sui and Tang dynasties was restored by its tribes...... In other words, the irreconcilable internal contradictions of Goguryeo during this period were the main reason for their demise.
