The king of Goguryeo also thought about surrendering, but his advisers advised: "Great king, the current general of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Xi, will definitely not be merciful in dealing with foreign issues, and the Japanese island country is an example, is the king willing to become a slave?" The words of the strategist awakened the king of Goryeo, no longer had the idea of surrendering, and decided to hold on to the end.

Yuan Xi was not ready to let go of the brutal king of Goguryeo, but still wanted to reduce the damage, and sent the people of Marudu to surrender for him outside the city, and opened the city gate as a reward for meritorious deeds, and was promoted to the rank of knight. At night, Yuan Xi also used a hot air balloon to secretly fly and throw the letter of persuasion into the city.

The letter revealed that in order to protect himself, King Goryeo would use the same method against the people of Pyongyang in the future, regardless of the lives of the people of Marut. If anyone can capture the king, he will be crowned Marquis of Pyongyang and a reward of 10,000 gold. Although the king of Goguryeo stepped up his patrols, the news spread far and wide, and if it weren't for the fact that Goguryeo still had more than 70,000 troops, someone would have opened the door and surrendered.

These means alone were not enough to get the Goguryeo people to surrender in Kaesong, but with the strategy ahead, the siege became easier. Yuan Xi began to attack, and the power of the catapults made the Goguryeo army despair, and it was only a matter of time before Pyongyang fell. The people of Pyongyang did not want to be buried with the king of Goguryeo, so some people wanted to open the city gates, and the king of Goguryeo was furious and ordered his own soldiers to kill these traitors.

Although these troublemakers were killed, the internal strife in Pyongyang also caused Yuan Xi's army to climb the city wall and begin to engage the Goguryeo army in close combat. Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Pang De were unstoppable, the Goguryeo guards were defeated and retreated, the east gate of Pyongyang City was lost, and the Goguryeo army could only retreat into the inner city and engage in street battles with the Han army.

Although he occupied the east gate, Yuan Xi still ordered to continue to persuade him to surrender, whether it was the Han army or the Goguryeo army, as long as the king was captured, there would be a heavy reward. Originally, capturing the king could be a marquis, but now it is much easier to capture the king, and the reward is reduced. Among them, some Goguryeo officers did not want to give up this opportunity, and rushed to the palace with their brothers to capture the king.

The king of Goguryeo knew that the death penalty could not be escaped, so he committed suicide in the palace, and Yuan Xi's army was also led by the people of Goguryeo to capture the palace. After the Han army killed several Goguryeo people who had led the rebellion, the city of Pyongyang began to settle down, and the people of Pyongyang spent the first night under the Han occupation in anxiety.

On the second day, Yuan Xi ordered Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Pang De, Zhang Liao and others to eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled in the Goguryeo army, select young and strong sergeants, and form an elite force of about 50,000 and distribute them to the Han army. Yuan Xi used this army as a vanguard guide to pacify the entire territory of Goguryeo.

Although there are still dozens of cities in Goguryeo, the actions of the king of Goguryeo are unpopular, and the people of Marudu and the army of Pyongyang are propagating the glorious image of the great general of the Han Dynasty, as long as they do not resist, they will never kill innocents indiscriminately. The various cities of Goguryeo basically opened the city gates and surrendered without resistance, and the Han army of the surrendered city was not too harsh, the good officials continued to stay, and those who oppressed the people were dismissed.

On the other hand, after more than a month of hard fighting, the Yuan army led by Zhang Jaw finally captured Busan, the largest port of Silla, and then besieged Gyeongju, the capital of Silla. After much thought, the king of Silla surrendered, and Zhang Jaw entered Gyeongju, controlled Gyeongju, and waited for Yuan Hee to fall.

As for Baekje, the only one among the three Koreas who had not yet surrendered, seeing that Goguryeo and Silla were dead, he knew that he could not resist the Han army on his own, so he chose to bow down to Yuan Xi, the general of the Han Dynasty, and personally came to Pyongyang to ask for surrender. Yuan Xi was immediately overjoyed, and felt that he was still the most familiar to the king of Baekje, so he pardoned the previous offense.

At the Pyongyang Imperial Palace, Yuan Xi received the kings of Baekje and Silla. After discussion, Yuan Xi divided the western part of Goguryeo into Liaodong County, and set most of Goguryeo centered on Pyongyang as Lelang County, with Zhang Jaw in charge. Baekje and Silla were set up as Obibang counties, with Jeonyu as the county guard, and the Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla royal families went to Jiju together.

Yuan Xi won a complete victory in this expedition, not only obtaining a large amount of military supplies and property, but also leviing 100,000 elite soldiers from the three Koreas. Yuan Xi led an army of nearly 300,000 back to Liaodong, and now that Sanhan has been recovered, there is only one Liaodong Gongsun Kang left, and Liaodong is a bridge between the Han and Sanhan, and there must be a person who is close to him.

Gongsun Kang saw that it only took more than two months for Yuan Xi to pacify Sanhan, and his strength did not decrease but increased, it was the time for his own performance, if not, maybe his Liaodong Taishou would be the end. Gongsun Kang was still as diligent as before, and said to Yuan Xi: "Congratulations to the general for his triumphant return, pacifying the foreign countries of Sanhan, and raising my Han Tianwei. ”

Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction, this time he directly led an army of 300,000 into Liaodong City, and the people looked at this huge, neat, and disciplined Han army full of praise, and even bowed to the tall and handsome young general who rode a white horse at the head, and thanked the general for saving his life.

At this moment, suddenly a down-and-out middle-aged man blocked Yuan Xi's way, claiming that he had been wronged. This almost frightened the general, Gongsun Kang let out a cold sweat, and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Boldly Diao Min, you dare to deliberately rush into the general, with bad intentions, someone will take it for me, and I will interrogate it myself later." ”

Yuan Xi saw that the people of Liaodong were watching, persuaded Gongsun Kang, and said to the big man: "I am the general of the dynasty, if there is a grievance, I will handle it impartially." If you deliberately cause trouble and frame up, don't blame General Ben for being ruthless! ”

The middle-aged man was fearless, knelt down respectfully in front of Yuan Xi and said, "Tell the general, the grass people will sue Sun Kang, the Taishou Gong of Liaodong today!" When Gongsun Kang heard the big hurry, he didn't know this person at all, and he didn't do anything bad recently, but he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Yuan Xi and ruin his future, so he asked the general not to mistakenly believe people's words, this person is planting blame.

Yuan Xi nodded and comforted Gongsun Kang: "I understand Lord Gongsun's intentions, how can I believe other people's nonsense at will?" Gongsun Kang listened to Yuan Xi's words and felt a little comforted, but he still wanted to continue to stay in Liaodong, and asked in front of so many people: "That bold Diao Min, Ben Taishou will give you a chance, who instructed you to do this, recruit from the truth?" ”

The big man actually followed Pang Tong's advice before coming to Yuan Xi, but he didn't expect that the great general who was wise and martial and admired by everyone also had a time when he didn't distinguish between right and wrong, so he could only scold: "Gongsun Kang, you robbed the people's daughters, pretending to be public and private, I hope the general will be clear!" ”

Just when Yuan Xi was hesitating who was true and who was fake, Pang Tong came to the general with a group of beautiful girls, Pang Tong pointed to one of the young girls, and said to Yuan Xi: "General Mingjian, his subordinates have found out that this little girl is the daughter of this old man!" In order to please the general, Lord Gongsun deliberately recruited these beauties to serve the general, hoping to continue to serve in Liaodong.

The surrounding people looked at the crying of the father and daughter, and suddenly felt sad and demanded that Gongsun Kang be severely punished. When Gongsun Kang saw that the matter was revealed, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, saying that he was loyal to the general. In order to calm the anger of the public, Yuan Xi could only order Zhao Yun to take down Gongsun Kang and behead him in front of the people of Liaodong to show the public. Yuan Xi's selfless approach won the cheers of the people, and praised the general for distinguishing right from wrong, being close to each other, and being a rare good official.

After a few days of rectification, Yuan Xi ordered Sun Li to guard Liaodong and Zhang Liao to guard Liaoxi, and ordered the two to supervise the Sanhan army to repair the road between Liaodong and Liaoxi, and strengthen the connection between various parts of Youzhou.
