He wrote two letters, one to Kim Chongxi, the king of Silla, and the other to Kim Yansheng, the regent of the regent, who reported in detail the beginning and end of the battle of Liaodong, and made a profound review of the successes and failures, and finally confessed his loyalty to the two

He handed over a letter to his confidant and asked him to return to China as soon as possible to make some arrangements.

He has already sent his relatives and noble children back to China in batches, and they came to the army just to accumulate experience and gild, not only can they not help, but they often drag their feet, but he can't offend any of these people, and he has to spare a lot of effort to hold and coax.

Before marching into Dongzhou, Jin Tiyong left them in Liaodong City, and then depending on the change of the war situation, and then made plans to advance and retreat, after the war in Dongzhou fell into a stalemate, he sent people back to China one after another, Jin Tiyong used his privileges to the extreme, everyone was promoted to a level before leaving, and they were honored, although the battle of Liaodong was lost, their days would go on.

The elite and civilian talents in the army, as well as the outstanding craftsmen, were also sent back to China as a whole, and the Silla country suffered a great loss of vitality after this setback, but as long as there are people, there will be a chance to rise in the future, and if there are no people, the country will really be finished.

After everything was arranged, Jin Tiyong wrote a letter to Li Mao, expressing his desire for peace.

Li Mao replied: Unless the Silla people surrender unconditionally, no peace will be negotiated.

Jin Tiyong showed Li Mao's letter to the generals, there was a cry in the military tent, Li Mao relied on the heart of the three cities, they could not break any of them, the country has cut off their grain and grass, their grain storage is not much, not to mention that there is Li Mao eyeing them, even if Li Mao let them go, they will not be able to return to the country.

It's the end of the road, and there's no other way but to surrender.

Naturally, there were also die-hard elements who resolutely refused to surrender, clamoring that they would rather make peace with Li Mao than all the jade, and in the face of opposition, the commander of Silla, who had always shown himself to be soft, suspicious, and scattered, suddenly became hard-hearted and hideous.

Indeed, there were unbelievers who tested their swords with their heads, and their heads were piled up outside the tent into a hill.

Kim Tiyong replied with a letter promising to surrender unconditionally, and Li Mao set aside six surrender sites and asked the Silla people to disarm and line up.

The largest surrender point was set up in the La Liga battalion, and Silla Marshal Kim Tiyong personally led the team to surrender.

It was the commander of the Third Division, Oroko, who was the home of his people, and it was most appropriate for him to surrender.

The surrender lasted for two days, and there were some minor accidents in between, but fortunately it was generally stable and did not cause major disasters. After the surrender was completed, Li Maoling ordered 27,000 Silla soldiers to be disorganized and assigned to the second, third, and fourth divisions.

As for the middle and high-ranking generals, they were all moved to Donggao City to be imprisoned. Except for a few generals among them, Li Mao will not be used.

The Silla army at the foot of Kikkashi Mountain surrendered to Changkichang on the spot, and after the reorganization, the two commanders, Song Menglong, Li Hongshui, and forty middle and high-ranking generals, were escorted to Dongzhou City to be detained and reformed.

As for the nearly 100,000 people attached to the Silla Army, Li Mao also received them as a whole.

Li Mao's appetite was very great, and he wanted to swallow 27,000 Silla troops and 100,000 people attached to it in one bite, but the economic conditions in Liaodong could not support so many people to eat, so the executors could only be flexible and deliberately relax the guards on the sick and weak soldiers and people, and let them climb the wall and escape.

Most of them were recruited by the Silla Kingdom, and most of them had families, and at this moment they were like arrows, and the longing to be reunited with their families overcame their sense of reality, driving them to run to the vast snowfields without hesitation.

After the battle of Liaodong was basically over, a tragicomedy of human struggle was quietly staged, the protagonists were 100,000 people and deserters of Silla, the vast snowfield was their stage, the cold weather, lack of food and clothing were the background of the stage, this tragicomedy began with comedy and ended with tragedy, and the vast majority of them failed to return to Silla.

Under Donggao Castle, the Silla people were defeated, but the battle of Liaodong was not finally over, and before the surrender of Jintieyong, all the elites of the department were sent back to China, and those who were unwilling to surrender but did not prevent others from surrendering were also allowed to leave the team and return to China.

These people are still on their way home, and many of them are momentary elites.

Li Mao, with Shi Xiong as the commander of the left army and Ma Hedong as the commander of the right army, led the light cavalry to pursue along the way.

The Silla people were one step ahead, knowing that the situation was critical, and they were running day and night.

Deputy Marshal Song Xiangong commanded a royal army soldiers all the way to the Yalu River, and suddenly found that their way was broken, I don't know how when, the Yalu Water has been cut off by a pirate from Beisha City, and all the boats on the river were destroyed.

Song Xiangong consulted with everyone, went upstream, and took refuge in Changbai Mountain. Shi Xiong, the commander of the Left Route Army, took the lead in cutting off the road into the mountain, and after the Right Route Army cooperated with Sang Rong, the lord of Beisha City, to block the Yalushui, they began a sweep along the Yalushui. Cooperate with Shi Xiong, like a vast net, to wipe out the Silla elites who have fled here.

Li Mao received the battle report and ordered not to kill indiscriminately, and to bring people back to Donggaocheng as much as possible, these people are the elite of Silla, and there will be a place to use them in the future.

The two armies swept across the country, coupled with the severe cold weather and lack of food, and it was later estimated that about 90,000 Silla Minzhuang and soldiers were buried in the Liaodong Ice Field. These young adults are almost all there is to a small country. The Silla Kingdom will collapse in the next few hundred years, losing the capital to dominate Liaodong.

Li Mao ordered the two large armies stationed on the north bank of the Aplushui River to be under the command of Seok Woong, and crossed the river to the south on the same day, aiming at Gyeongju, the capital of Silla.

Shi Xiong's army crossed the river to defeat the remnants of Silla, and went all the way south, which was unstoppable.

Strong external pressure prompted a fierce palace coup d'état in Silla, Silla King Kim Chong-hee booby-trapped the regent Kim Yansheng, forced by the pressure of Kim Yansheng's remnants, led his troops to escape from the capital, surrendered to Seok-woong under the city of Pyongyang, claiming that he was overthrown by Kim Yansheng and Kim Tiyong, and became a "prisoner living in the palace", he had no intention and no courage to invade Shangguo, and now he took the risk of killing the powerful minister Kim Yansheng, and paid tribute to his head to show his heart.

Shi Xiong reported to Li Mao for instructions, and Li Mao ordered Shi Xiong to lead his troops to escort Jin Chongxi back to China in order to secure his position. Under the guidance of the generals loyal to Kim Chong-hee, Seok-woong's army entered Gyeongju City bloodlessly, sent Kim Joong-hee into the palace to sit on the throne of the king, and killed a few of Kim Yeon-seung's old spurs.

Li Mao finally agreed to the request and request of the king of Silla, and ordered him to send important ministers and close relatives of the clan to Chang'an to apologize. The king of Silla asked Li Mao to return the "Golden Ladder Yong", but Li Mao did not agree.

Under the escort of Chen Xiaoyi, the envoy of Liaodong, the envoys of Silla, trekked thousands of rivers and mountains to Chang'an by land to apologize.

Li Chun accepted Kim Chong-hee's explanation of the Liaodong Revolution, forgave his sins, gave him the Golden Seal, and sent an envoy back to China.

In addition, with the dangerous status of Liaodong, he was promoted to the envoy of the economic strategy, and awarded Li Mao to inspect the school and the Ministry of Engineering Shangshu as the envoy of Liaodong, and the envoy of Silla and Bohai were envoys, and he was crowned the Duke of Cao.

Li Maozuo requested that Liaodong City be changed to Liaozhou, and that three military towns of Pyongyang, Beishacheng, and Hekou Town be added, and that Guizhou, Bezhou, and Koju be added to control the entire Liaohe River valley and the northern part of the peninsula.

The newly established Guizhou, the seat of governance is in the town of Guijiashan, "Gui" is the homonym of "turtle", the original governor of Gebezhou in eastern Liaodong, Li Mao took two key fort towns in the old land, divided into two states, Gezhou Zhenwei and Khitan, Bezhou guarded Bohai and Jianya.

With the melting of the heavy snow and the thaw of the Liaohe River, the naval army of the veteran general Xue burst out with divine might, and with the cooperation of the second division after the reorganization, the Liaohe River was used as the axis to fight in the south and the north, and the banner of the Tang Dynasty was planted in the five states, four towns and eighteen forts along the Liaohe River.

When it came to the right place, Zhu Jiu and Veteran Xue were hot-headed together, and claimed to go deep into the hinterland of the Khitans, completely solve the threat of the Khitans, drive their remnants to the west, seize the grassland in the upper reaches of Liaodong, and solve the problem of horse supply in Liaodong.

Li Mao did not agree, with the existing strength of the second division and the naval army, it was not enough to start a war with the Khitans, and it was still time to break the Khitans. He transferred back the fever-headed veteran Xue to wish Jiu and Gezhou the history of the assassination, the garrison of the Gezhou, and the barrier Khitan.

When the spring flowers bloomed in another year, the combined forces of Shi Xiong and Qin Mo arrived at the city of Liaodong, and Shi Xiong asked Xue Qingbao to surrender the city immediately and accept the adaptation, promising that Li Mao had reserved a position for him to assassinate the history. As long as he is willing to surrender, he will give away the great seal of the Liaozhou Assassin History.

Qin Mo asked Xue Qingbao to hand over his daughter Xue Dingding, saying that he had brought Li Mao's dowry and waited for Xue Qingbao's dowry and daughter to go back to the cave room.

Anton's army has no fear, and his face is hateful.

Xue Qingbao didn't dare to take a breath, Silla was down, Liaodong was in the hands of Li Mao, his granary had bottomed out, at most it would support two months, what should I do after two months, go out of the city and fight with Li Mao in a bloody battle, it was obviously an egg hitting a stone, so I had to obediently surrender.
