Yue Fei stayed in Xianxing Mansion for only one day, and then continued to lead the Song army south.

Cui Siquan, the guard of Xianxing Mansion, also followed Yue Fei's side.

Late at night, on a remote road, the sound of war horses galloping kept coming out.

Dozens of black shadows faintly appeared in front of him, and Yue Fei led the people towards these dozens of black shadows.

Soon there was a screaming sound in front, and I saw that these dozens of black shadows were running faster!

However, no matter how fast they were, they couldn't catch up with the speed of the war horses, and after less than half an hour, these dozens of black shadows were surrounded by the Song army.

These are dozens of Goryeo people, men and women, old people and children, all of them are pale, they are carrying large bags and small bags, and they seem to be saluting!

Gradually, these dozens of Goryeo people knelt down, and they kept kowtowing to the surrounding Song army.

"Ask them, where is this going?" Yue Fei said.

Cui Siquan stayed by Yue Fei's side, and immediately asked these Goryeo people in Goryeo at this moment.

"General, they said they were going to hide in the mountains ahead to avoid the war." After a while, Cui Siquan said.

"Tell them not to go to the mountains ahead! Our Great Song Dynasty army is as disciplined as a mountain, and it will never kill the people indiscriminately, nor will it rob the people's property! Let them continue to live in their homeland, the war will soon end, we will first implement a tax exemption policy in Goryeo for one to three years, everything will only be better than before, not worse than before! Yue Fei said.

Cui Siquan told Yue Fei's words to these Goryeo people, and these Goryeo people showed unbelievable expressions on their faces.

After Cui Siquan finished speaking, Yue Fei continued to lead the army forward.

All the cavalry of the Song army bypassed these Goryeo people, they did not snatch the salute from the hands of the Goryeo people, and there was absolutely no one who insulted the women, and when the Song army passed, these Goryeo people talked about it.

"This is the army of the Great Song Dynasty? They seem to be a little different from our Goryeo army! ”

"I heard that once the war breaks out, it is us ordinary people who will suffer the most, and it will be a sure thing that the family will be ruined by then, but we have encountered so many troops, and now we are still standing here!"

"What to do? Are we going to go to the mountains again? ”

"Let's go back and have a look, if the village is still there and hasn't been looted, we won't go to the mountains."

The people of Goryeo were discussing here, and Cui Siquan followed Yue Fei, flattering: "Your army is really a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, Cui admires it!" ”

Yue Fei smiled and said, "What my Great Song Majesty wants is a complete Goryeo, not a broken Goryeo!" After this battle, Goryeo only lost some soldiers, but only lost the former king and the imperial court, and the lives of ordinary people will not be affected too much! ”

The occupation of Goryeo by the Song army was only to change the superstructure of Goryeo, not to purge ordinary Goryeo people.

Goryeo is different from the Jurchen, Mongolian and other ethnic groups, it is also an agricultural culture, the same Confucian civilization, as long as the policy is appropriate, it can be smoothly integrated into the Great Song Dynasty and increase the power of the Great Song Dynasty. The best way to conquer a country is to assimilate it with culture and civilization, rather than by merely relying on force to conquer it, as the Mongols did in later generations.

******

Yue Fei went all the way south, and met many fleeing Koreans on the way, and whenever he met these people, Yue Fei would send people to persuade them to return to their hometowns.

On June 28, the Song army came to the city of Yongxing.

Yongxing City is an important port on the east coast of Korea, and in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, Korea was still a vassal state of China, when Yongxing City was one of the military ports of the Beiyang Naval Division! Ding Ruchang, the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division, once led Beiyang warships such as Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, and Weiyuan to be stationed here to confront the Japanese!

Now it is only a small city, and there are only 3,000 garrisons in the entire city.

Yue Fei's 20,000 cavalry arrived, and the Yongxing City Gate had already been closed.

The 3,000 garrisons in Yongxing City stood on the city walls, many of them trembling, and their weapons were of different styles, some even holding wooden sticks and other weapons in their hands.

Yue Fei did not order an immediate siege of the city, but ordered people to persuade him to surrender under the city.

Only a quarter of an hour later, the gate of Yongxing City opened, and the magistrate of Yongxing City knelt in front of Yue Fei with a flattering smile on his face.

Originally, the magistrate of Yongxing City had long wanted to go out of the city and surrender, but he was a literati and felt that he should be reserved, so he didn't come out until the Song army persuaded him to surrender.

Seeing this flattering smile, Yue Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

The army stayed in Woody City for only half a day, and then continued south.

The Song army attacked all the way and conquered everything!

For more than half a month, officials and generals in Hamhung, Yongxing, Wonsan, Gangneung, Yeongju, Daejeon, Gwangju and other places surrendered one after another! All the way south, Yue Fei barely encountered resistance!

This made Yue Fei feel surprised, he didn't understand why the Koreans didn't resist?

In fact, this is just like the scene in the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the city of Xiangyang was broken, the Mongols went south, countless officials at all levels who read sage books and were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality all over the Southern Song Dynasty surrendered one after another, and the magistrates and governors of dozens of state armies in the south of the Yangtze River took the initiative to donate the city, and finally even the Jinghu Xuanfu envoy and the Hubei system envoy who sat in the town of the generals also surrendered one after another, and the entire Jiangnan almost collapsed like dominoes.

At that time, the Empress Dowager of the Southern Song Dynasty, Xie Daoqing, summoned the world's army to Qin Wang! There are still more than 600,000 troops in Jiangnan, and in the end, King Qin's only 20,000 people, of which 10,000 are still the peasant rebels led by Wen Tianxiang, and the remaining more than 500,000 troops all surrendered without a fight!

After Kublai Khan conquered the world, he was also surprised by this phenomenon, and he asked those Great Song officials who took the initiative to surrender, asking them why they chose to surrender so easily, and all the Great Song officials were speechless.

The situation in Goryeo today is exactly the same as in the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty!

Originally, the founding of Goryeo had a history of more than 200 years, and it was almost the end of the dynasty! Historically, about thirty years later, the Wang family of Goryeo underwent drastic changes, the military generals were regent, and the king of Goryeo almost became a puppet! The state of Goryeo itself was already full of contradictions, and after receiving the news that hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Liaodong and the Great Wall of China had been defeated, no one in Goryeo was willing to continue to oppose the Great Song Dynasty.

Yue Fei couldn't understand this question, he just felt that the Korean people had no backbone, and they looked down on this nation in their hearts!

Wu Jue, Wu Ling, Wang Gui and others led the army all the way south, and they did not encounter much resistance! In many cases, the Song army had not yet arrived, and the main officials of the city in front had already gone to greet them, and sometimes even local officials, generals, and gentry all came out to greet them.

By the time it was July 19, it was only a month before the Great Wall was broken, and almost all of Goryeo had fallen, and there was only one place left - Inju!

******

When Wu Jue went south, the prefect of Renzhou had already opened the city gate and surrendered, and Wu Jue still ordered the prefect of Renju to temporarily manage Renzhou, and then continued to lead troops south.

He didn't know that the Goryeo Confucian Jin Chan had actually formed a rebel army in the countryside of Inju, and soon after, Jin Chan led 10,000 rebels to conquer Inju, killed the prefect of Inju, and declared resistance to the Song army here.

It has reached the twentieth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the autumn leaves are gradually turning yellow, the autumn wind is blowing, and the weather has become cooler.

At dusk, the white-haired Jin Chan stood on the city wall of Inju, looking in the direction of Kaijing.

His disciple, the middle-aged Confucian scholar, was still by his side.

"What is the form of the state now?" Jin Chan said.

"Teacher, Daejeon, Gwangju, Daegu and other places have all surrendered to the Song army, and it seems that only we are left in the whole of Goryeo!" Middle-aged Confucianism.

"How so?" Jin Can's body trembled slightly, and his face was full of sadness.

"Teacher, we only have 10,000 people, and we are all untrained farmers, how can we be the opponent of hundreds of thousands of Song troops?" Middle-aged Confucianism.

Jin Can's brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't say a word.

"Teacher, Your Majesty has been captured by the Song army, and all places have surrendered, I heard that the Song army is an army of benevolence and righteousness, and they have not committed any crimes in the autumn where they have passed, which is completely different from the Khitans and Jurchens! Why should we resist? Middle-aged Confucian said.

"It is precisely because everyone is like you that the country will fall and perish! I'd rather die than surrender! Jin Can gritted his teeth and said.

"Hey!" The middle-aged Confucian sighed softly.

In the early morning of July 23, Song troops arrived here one after another, and the 10,000 Goryeo rebels in Inju City showed frightened expressions on their faces.

However, the Song army did not immediately attack the city, and when it was July 24th, Wu Jue and Yue Fei came here together!

There was only one city in the whole of Goryeo that was resisting, and they wanted to see who was in charge of the city.
