Chapter 1056: Goguryeo
Twenty days later, Su Zhe's division returned to the court, led the victorious army, and returned to the eastern capital Luoyang.
Accompanying Su Zhe back, there were millions of cattle and sheep, and fifty or sixty thousand Xianbei women.
Along the way, when passing through border states such as Bingzhou and Youzhou, Su Zhe left a large number of cattle to the local counties and counties, so that they could distribute them to local farmers and people to resume production.
After returning to Beijing, the first thing Su Zhe did was, of course, to reward the ministers.
Ma Chao, Pang De, Deng Ai and other generals who accompanied the expedition, Su Zhe naturally rewarded him with a big reward, and when Deng Ai's food reached more than 3,000 households.
In addition, among the Xianbei women captured, Su Zhe also chose the high-grade ones and rewarded them to the generals.
For example, Ma Chao, who has made the most meritorious contributions, Su Zhe rewarded him with fifty Xianbei female slaves at one time.
The remaining Xianbei women will naturally be given priority to meritorious soldiers, especially those male soldiers who are still single.
These warriors who have fought for Dawei for half their lives should also enjoy a good day to enjoy the hot kang head of their wives and children.
The news of Xianbei's destruction soon spread throughout the country, and each of them boiled.
At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only defeated the Xiongnu, but did not destroy the Xiongnu, and was praised as a side of the ages.
Now, Su Zhe effortlessly wiped out the Huns first, and then Xianbei, and swept away all the Hu people who were entrenched on the side plugs, which were far better than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, in order to fight the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty halved the household registration in the world, the people were overwhelmed, and the entire empire fell into a crisis.
And Su Zhe's extermination of the Hu people did not drag down the domestic economy, but greatly enriched the national strength through the looted Hu people, cattle and sheep.
How can such an immortal feat not be praised by the subjects of the world?
At this time, Su Zhe, in the eyes of the people of the world, was close to the existence of a god.
People all over the world have paid out of their own pockets to set up statues of Su Zhe and worship them every day.
Su Zhe has been away from the palace for a long time, so he naturally did not forget to comfort the concubines who had lived in the deep palace for a long time.
For nearly half a year, Su Zhe was in the palace, looking for joy and enjoying the joy of the king.
Of course, when Su Zhe was enjoying himself, he was not idle, and he always paid attention to the construction project of the Liaodong Chi Road.
Under the supervision of Zhang Liao, nearly 100,000 Xianbei people served as coolies, day and night like cattle and horses, building a galloping road for the Great Wei Dynasty from Jicheng in the west to Xuansu County in the east, stretching for 900 miles.
In less than a year, this long gallop road was finally repaired.
In order to build this galloping road, 100,000 Xianbei coolies suffered countless deaths and injuries, and in the end only less than 20,000 people survived, and 80,000 people died on the way to build the road.
There is no way, for these humble coolies, Su Zhe can't create any good conditions for them, they are dressed in the most worn clothes, and the food is only enough for them to live.
And the Wei soldiers who supervised them were also authorized to use any type of punishment to urge the Xianbei people to work day and night.
As for those Xianbei people, the bloody killing in Dragon City obviously scared their courage, so that they no longer had the psychology to resist, even if they were exhausted to death and were whipped to death by the overseer, they could only accept it and did not dare to resist anything.
Now that the Chidao has been repaired, Su Zhe's war to destroy Goguryeo was soon put on the agenda.
After nearly a year of rest, the soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty have recovered enough mentally and physically to fight, ready to fight again, so as to make meritorious contributions.
At the end of the summer, Su Zhe officially announced that he would go to Goguryeo to conquer Goguryeo.
100,000 iron cavalry, plus 200,000 infantry, a total of 300,000 troops, set out from Luoyang, and rushed north.
The army crossed the Yellow River in the north, went straight to Jixian County, and then followed the gallop road formed by the accumulation of corpses, passed through the corridor of western Liaoning, and went straight to eastern Liaodong.
Twenty days later, Su Zhe's army arrived in Xuansu County.
On the same day, a surprise unexpectedly appeared.
The quantum meteorological satellite, which had been dormant for nearly two years, resumed normal operation at this moment.
Moreover, what makes Su Zhe even more pleased is that the meteorological satellite, which has been dormant for nearly two years, has not only resumed operation, but also upgraded itself.
This means that the attack intensity of the weather weapon has been nearly twice as strong as before.
Su Zhe smiled.
Now that he has * in his hand, and he has a multiplied meteorological weapon in his hand, the Goguryeo people are not enough to worry about.
As soon as Su Zhe gave the order, the 300,000 army rushed to Goguryeo.
At this time, Gao Changping, the king of Goguryeo, had already received the assistance of Sima Yi, and thought that he knew the tactics and strategies of the Wei army well, so he adopted the tactics of avoiding but not fighting, and gave a large number of plain cities to Su Zhe, in an attempt to resist Su Zhe's attack by virtue of the danger of the mountain city.
All in vain.
* In hand, coupled with the powerful power of meteorological attacks, the mountain cities of Goguryeo could not resist the powerful siege ability of the Wei army.
Mountain cities fell, tens of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers were killed, and countless Goguryeo people were taken from the mountain cities and sent to Liangzhou to work as coolies.
At this time, although Su Zhe was still conquering Goguryeo, his eyes had already extended to the distant Western Regions.
There, Liu Bei is no longer close to unifying the Western Regions, and his strength will be restored.
It is impossible for Su Zhe to condone Liu Bei's comeback, he has already decided to turn around and lead the Great Wei royal division to conquer the Western Regions after destroying Goguryeo, and completely destroy Liu Bei.
The road to the Western Regions is difficult to navigate, so Su Zhe wants to follow the example of the Eastern Liaodong Chi Road and build a Chi Road from Yumen Pass to the Western Regions to facilitate the expedition of his army.
This kind of thing requires a lot of sacrificeable coolies, and the newly conquered Goguryeo people are naturally the best choice.
The 300,000-strong army won successive battles, and in less than a month, most of the cities were breached, and finally the army finally reached its national capital, under the city of Maru.
……
It was dusk, and the mountain wind was fierce.
Nearly 250,000 Wei troops rode on foot, arrayed under the mountain city, with a mighty momentum and a sound of killing.
At the head of the pill capital, Gao Changping and Sima Yi stood shoulder to shoulder, and their faces were shrouded in deep fear.
"Sima Zhongda, is this what you told this king to defend against the enemy?" Gao Changping pointed to the overwhelming Wei army in front of the city, and his eyebrows were full of dissatisfaction.
Sima Yi looked helpless and sighed: "I didn't expect that Su Thief's ability to attack fortifications suddenly became stronger, and he hadn't used the demon technique of calling the wind and rain for a long time. ”
Woo woo ~ ~
In the Wei army's array, the horn of slaughter had sounded, and more than 5,000 shield cavalry were dispatched, escorting a carriage full of horses*, and began to advance towards the city of Marudu.
Seeing this familiar scene, Sima Yi's face changed suddenly, and he shouted urgently: "King, under the enemy's shield cavalry, it is necessary to *, that thing can blow up our city, and the king must prevent them from approaching the city!" ”
“*? What kind of weapon is that? Gao Changping looked dazed, obviously not knowing what was wrong.
"I can't explain it now, in short, it's an extremely powerful weapon, the king snapped what I said, it's too late!" Sima Yi shouted anxiously.
Gao Changping had a premonition of the seriousness of the situation, and immediately shouted: "Crossbowmen, release arrows, and block the approach of the Wei army!" ”
When the order was laid, the Goguryeo crossbowmen at the head of the city immediately bent their bows and fired their arrows at the enemy.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Arrows whistled down like flying locusts.
In the blink of an eye, the rain-like sharp arrows shot towards the Wei army's shield array.
Still can't be pierced.
Except for the bed crossbow of the Great Wei, there is no strong bow and hard crossbow in this world that can penetrate the silver heavy shield of the Ma family legion.
The 5,000 Wei army was unstoppable, and easily took over the city of Marudu, filled in the moat, and filled in a passageway.
The silver shield was raised high and formed a steel dome that blocked the sky.
Gao Changping was anxious, scolded the Goguryeo soldiers, and threw countless sassal trees and countless flying stones towards the Wei army.
In the midst of the loud noise, the steel dome could not be shaken.
The engineers of the Wei army, who were hiding under the dome, waved all kinds of tools and frantically dug holes.
Since Maruto Castle was built on a mountain, most of the walls were made of stones, and it was not easy to excavate, and it took half an hour to barely dig a hole.
"Fill the bucket!" Ma Yunlu yelled.
The order was laid, the wagons were driven up, and the soldiers filled the holes with more than a dozen barrels*.
Ma Yunlu personally lit the fuse, turned the horse around, and shouted: "Retreat, retreat immediately~~"
The 5,000 cavalry of the Wei army turned around one after another, scattered and retreated, and walked away cleanly in a blink of an eye.
The Goguryeo soldiers were at a loss, looking at the smoking city wall, and couldn't understand what the Wei army was doing.
"Get down, get down!"
Sima Yi's frightened face turned pale, and he immediately lay on the ground, holding his head in his hands.
Rumble!
With a loud bang, the sky cracked.
The entire mountain city shook, huge fireballs rose into the air, and countless stone chips flew out.
Gao Changping was frightened, and he fell to the ground with his buttocks, his hands tightly on his head.
The Goguryeo soldiers along the front line of the city were all frightened and panicked, and they crouched down one after another to avoid the debris splashing in the air.
The earth shook and the mountains shook, and the heavens and the earth returned to calm.
The thick smoke gradually dissipated, and after being exploded by the smoke of fire, the city wall of Marudu finally revealed its true face.
I saw a huge pit under the city wall on the right wing of the city gate, and a large part of the city wall was blown down, and it looked almost crumbling.
It didn't collapse completely!
The soldiers of the Wei army in front of the city had raised their hands high, ready to welcome and celebrate, but they were all surprised to see the scene of the city wall not collapsing.
"Your Majesty, this pill capital city is relatively strong, and our* didn't even collapse directly." Deng Ai beside him pointed to the city wall.
Su Zhe nodded slightly: "It's really a bit of a surprise, this is forcing me to make a move." ”
After saying that, Su Zhe closed his eyes, activated his brain waves, and connected to the quantum meteorological satellite in space.
"System, launch a thunderstorm attack, aim at the damaged city wall, and chop me to death."
"Beep, the weather weapon is activated, the charge is complete, the coordinates are entered, and the quantum beam is activated."
