The siege of Jincheng lasted for more than a month, during which Li Yu used tens of thousands of Silla soldiers in his hands to launch more than 30 attacks on Jincheng, paying more than 7,000 casualties but failing to break the city.

As the only warlike reinforcement of Silla was pressed by Li Yu with heavy troops, the main general Yiyun Jinyi and more than 200 generals who did not bother to surrender fled outside, and the rest of the thousands of soldiers and horses surrendered.

Li Yu transferred the troops where the hope of Jincheng was located to the city to attack the south gate of Jincheng, which undoubtedly caused a great psychological blow to the Silla soldiers and civilians in Jincheng.

Knowing that the morale of the defending soldiers and civilians who had completely fallen into an isolated city was greatly demoralized, Nuofei Li Yu changed his original intention and was not in a hurry to break the city, and did not send reinforcements to the south gate in time, maybe the south gate would be broken on the same day.

As the siege dragged on, more news came that was favorable to Li Yu and unfavorable to Silla.

After the great victory at Jinma-Nagisa, the governor of the Kumajin Prefecture, Yoo In-won, crossed the Kumcheon River River and headed north to pursue the remnants of Silla's forces in the old land of Baekje.

The two armies fought each other in Buyeo County, Liu Renyuan's general Shazha was like a battle in the middle of the ten thousand armies to behead the Silla general, the Silla army was defeated, the Tang army took advantage of the situation to pursue, beheaded 3,000 people, captured more than 2,000, and besieged the last stronghold of the Silla army, Xiongjin City.

After two days of fighting, 4,000 Silla defenders in Kumjin Castle surrendered, and since then, all the old Baekje lands that Silla had forcibly occupied for two years have been recovered.

The siege of Sangju Fortress by the Tang army also opened the door to lead the Tang army into the city shortly after the defeat of the Silla army in the old land of Baekje, under the sudden rebellion of the southern gate guard Ijin. Shangzhou City, which had been besieged for several months without being defeated, was broken by Li Shangdan with the help of the generals, and Jin Yuxin led his own soldiers to engage in street battles with the Tang army that entered the city, and was beheaded by Lu He, the commander of the White Tiger Guard.

Jin Wenzhi, the son of Jin Yuxin, led 3,000 remnants to break through from the West Gate, but was blocked by Qin Jingqian, most of them were killed outside the city, and dozens of people such as Jin Wenzhi escaped by luck and avoided the mountains.

Hearing that the Silla army in the old land of Baekje was destroyed, the city of Shangju was broken, and the head of Jin Yuxin was picked by the Tang army at the head of the spear and paraded all the way to Jincheng, and the news that Jincheng was besieged was cut off. The fifteen counties in Silosi and Nan that had not yet been conquered by the Tang army submitted a letter of surrender to the Tang army, presenting the map of the county, acres of land, household registration and other account books.

By the end of January, there was only one golden city left in the territory of Silla that had been besieged by the Tang army.

In order to force the Silla magnates in the city to surrender as soon as possible, Li Yu constantly put the news of the surrender of the soldiers and civilians from all over Silla into clay pots and projected them into the city with a stone thrower. Tell the soldiers and civilians in the city unmistakably, "Silla has finished the scriptures, and your insistence on the scriptures is meaningless, so don't make fearless resistance anymore and increase the casualties of the people in the city." Even if you persist in keeping it, you will die and bite off a piece of flesh from this king. The king has to tell you very regretfully that from the beginning of the siege, it was your Silla soldiers who were besieging the city from beginning to end, and none of the Tang Dynasty athletes under the command of this king were killed or injured. Then the soldiers who will besiege the city until the city is broken will still be the Silla army that surrendered to the king, and the king will not lose a single soldier. This king admires the cannibalism of your Silla people, and hopes that you will continue to hold on, and this king and all the soldiers will seriously appreciate the great drama of the Silla people attacking their own capital outside the city......"

Jin Famin pinched the humiliating persuasion in his hand, trembling with anger, his face turned pale, and he almost fell backwards without lifting it in one breath.

The faces of the civil and military officers in the hall were different, and some of them lamented the imminent defeat of Silla, and denounced Sha Lu and other generals for failing the country's grace; Others hid in the crowd and looked calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Jin Famin breathed a sigh of relief under the service of the inner servants, looked at the ministers in the palace, and asked with a deep sadness in his tone: "When the national crisis is at hand, do you have a good way to retreat from the enemy?" ”

"The king, dozens of counties in Silla, now there is only one pond left in Jincheng, and in the face of the siege of the Tang army, the only way to do this is to surrender ......"

Although the minister of the ceremony said the voices of many people in the hall, he still couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Jin Famin, afraid that Jin Famin would drag him out and cut him to kill chickens and monkeys.

Fortunately, I only saw the corners of Jin Famin's mouth twitching in anger, and he glared at him angrily, but he didn't punish him, and he retreated into the group of ministers with joy and frustration.

"Is there anything else to propose but surrender?" Jin Famin held back the anger in his heart and asked loudly again.

"The king, there are already few soldiers and generals in the city, and after dozens of battles, there are only more than 20,000 soldiers left, and it is impossible to win. On the other hand, the Tang army used those generals who failed the favor of the country to surrender troops to attack the city, but no one was injured in its headquarters. If the fight continues, as King Tang Yan said in the book of persuasion, they Tang people are just watching our Silla people kill Silla people outside the city. I also hope that the king will put the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jincheng first, and open the city and surrender! The king, you will not be killed, and you can also get a duke to enjoy your life in peace. ”

This is what he said, and the ministers all looked sideways, sighing that this brother is really bold, he has no king, and he is not afraid of being dragged out and killed.

The ministers looked sideways, it turned out to be Jin Bisu, the general of the clan who served as the chief eunuch-level meal, before the supervision of the West Gate, after the West Gate guard was killed, his leader led the town to guard the West Gate, and there were 6,000 soldiers available under his command, as if he was the first military general in the city, no wonder he dared to be disrespectful to the king.

In the face of Jin Bisu's arrogant persuasion, the worried and indignant Jin Famin calmed down and coldly watched the Korean Chinese military treatment of surrender, although most of them did not attach to the main surrender faction such as Jin Bisu, but their faces undoubtedly revealed their desire to surrender in their hearts.

Jin Bisu holds the military power to guard the west gate, and he is disrespectful to me, but he can't take him now, otherwise he is another Shangzhou south gate guard Yi Jin.

The news of the destruction of the city of Shangzhou The Tang army had already been projected into the city through a catapult, and Yi Jin, a traitor, led his 3,000 troops to Jincheng and asked his new master for orders to attack the city, so as to invite merit, and also carried Jin Yuxin's head around the city with a gun, which was really hateful.

Jin Famin hated these traitors, but he couldn't help it, Jin Bisu, as a clan, was besieged as a cronie in Jincheng, and he didn't want to have two hearts to betray the Tang army.

Looking at the government and the opposition and the difficulty of finding loyal ministers, Jin Famin's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he left a sentence: "Let me think about it!" He quietly left under the puzzled gaze of the ministers.

What does the king mean by this? Do you want to fall? ”

"Not really!"

"Silla is a dead end, the king is a smart man, and at the last moment, in addition to surrendering his life, is there any other way?"

A group of ministers walked together in twos and threes to figure out Jin Famin's thoughts and left the hall, but they didn't know that Jin Famin peeked out from the screen behind the throne and watched their backs with stinging eyes.

……

Forty miles northeast of Jincheng, three mixed yuan ships loaded with goods came to Pohang Port occupied by the Tang army. The defenders thought that the ship with supplies from the Yellow Sea Fleet had arrived, but when the people on board got off the registration number, they learned that this fleet was actually the Xuanfu Sea Expedition that had been away from Antonda for a year.

When the news was reported to the Tang Zhongjun camp outside Jincheng, Li Yu was immediately overjoyed, and immediately sent someone to send a message to the Pohang Port garrison to escort the head of the Xuanwu Sea expedition and others to the camp.
