Chapter 63 Seven One Ends
Autumn gradually enveloped the city of Pyongyang, as if God was deliberately rendering the bleak atmosphere of the capital of Goryeo at this time. The city of Pyongyang was now shrouded in a gloomy fog that could not be erased, and the night before, Prime Minister Ah Uiji had staged a mutiny, captured the palace, and captured King Choe Moon-deok, who was sleeping in the arms of a beautiful woman. In fact, not only Cui Wende, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the princes, princesses and concubines in the palace all experienced a thrilling moment that night - a sudden army broke into the door, kidnapped the master without saying anything, and was punched and kicked at the slightest disobedience, and even drew knives against each other. The whole city of Pyongyang seemed to have turned into hell, and everywhere there were terrible cries and screams of dying, and even the people were awakened from their sleep, hugged each other, and shivered for the dawn.
When it was daybreak, the people were once again frightened by what they saw. Originally, it was thought that the army of the Silk Country had already invaded the city, but the walls and gates were intact, but only groups of officials were escorted out of the city by soldiers. This scene made everyone talk about it, and they didn't understand what was going on.
Riding on his horse, Ah Uiji looked at the 15,000 Pyongyang garrisons at his disposal, although these soldiers had little experience in actual combat, but they were equipped with the best weapons in all of Goryeo, which were more than enough to deter the people and carry out a coup d'Γ©tat. Looking at the entire Goryeo Kingdom today, his 15,000 men are undoubtedly the most powerful force. Even if King Fu Cui Jianjiang recruited troops and horses in Kaesong for so many years, there were only less than 10,000 people, and there was still a lack of food and weapons. With his command skills and this army, it was not difficult to defeat the armed forces of King Pyongbok, and then the kingdom of Goryeo would become his possession.
I really didn't expect God to give me such a generous gift. After getting Su Chengdong's reply, Ah Yizhi immediately began to prepare, and finally succeeded in one blow. He took the Goryeo court and central officials into his own hands.
The huge procession stretched for several miles, and the group slowly walked out of Pyongyang City. Meet the army of the Silk Country, which is advancing here.
Just after noon, the news came that the vanguard had encountered the vanguard of the army of the Silk Country. Ah Yizhi listened, and hurried to the front of the line with Puduna. The officials along the way cast disdainful and angry glances at him, but Ah Yizhi's heart had already flown to the sky at this time, and his mind was only full of how to accept the remaining half of the country.
It was Gao Dingbian and Wang Hanxin who were sent to meet him by the army of the Silk Country, and Ah Yizhi had an impression of both of them, and when he was still the marshal of Goryeo, these two young generals had almost killed themselves.
Ah Yizhi saw the two of them, and said with a smile on his face: "The two little generals have been absent for a long time. The battlefield of the past is goodbye. It's been a few years. It is very gratifying to see that they are well today. β
The faces of the two Gao Wang were the same cold. Gao Dingbian urged him to take a step forward and said, "The two of us are here to greet the Prime Minister and escort them to complete the surrender ceremony. Please come with us. β
"There are two of them." A Yizhi arched his hand.
The two kings turned their horses' heads and led the way in front, while the army they brought with them was arranged in two rows, allowing Ah Yizhi and his men to pass through the middle.
After walking for a short time, I saw a flag in front of me. Ah Yizhi knew that it was Su Chengdong's team who had arrived. Without waiting for the two Gao Wang to stop, Ah Yizhi jumped off the horse first and stood respectfully on the side of the road.
Wang Hanxin sneered at it and said, "My lord is so alive. No wonder the two of us couldn't catch you back then. β
"Little General, you made fun of it."
Wang Hanxin said with a smile: "There is one more thing to worry about the adults. After a while, the prisoners of war will be escorted to the Metropolitan Protector, and the prisoners will stand in a line, and your soldiers must lay down their arms. It's good to stand in a team. As the saying goes, surrender is like facing the enemy, and it is true that you are sincere in surrendering to our army. But it is difficult to ensure that there are resentful people in the army, if something goes wrong. I won't look good on my face when I wait for it. β
Ah Yizhi hesitated for a moment, then smiled: "This is natural." It's just that in the future, these soldiers will be needed to stabilize the territory of Goryeo, and the city of Pyongyang is already owned by your army, so the weapons in the treasury are naturally not easy to take away. β
Wang Hanxin smiled: "Adults are too careful. If the surrender is completed, Goryeo will be a vassal state of our court, so how can there be any reason to take away the weapons of your subordinates? It is to leave these, and the arsenal in Pyongyang City is taken by himself, so what are these worth? β
"So, thank you in advance." Ah Yizhi thanked him again and again, and then ordered his subordinates to do the same.
Soon Su Chengdong's brigade arrived, and when he saw Ah Yizhi, he pulled him down and sat down on a hill with him, waiting for the arrival of the prisoners in the rear team. After about half an hour, the captives had arrived, and all of them were arranged to stand on the north side, headed by King Cui Wende, followed by princes and princesses, and the ministers on either side; To the south, there were 15,000 garrisons of the Ayi branch, and in the middle were piled up with weapons laid down by the Goryeo army.
Su Chengdong saw it, nodded and smiled. Then he said to Gao Dingbian: "I now order you to lead 5,000 troops, rush to the city of Pyongyang, post notices, and appease the people, there must be no mistake!" β
"Yes!" Gao Dingbian immediately took the order and left.
Then Su Chengdong turned his head and smiled at Ah Yizhi: "It is Prime Minister Lao, no, Your Majesty the King, you have personally run this time." β
Ah Yizhi hurriedly stood up and said, "Wherever and wherever you are, Lord Protector is serious." β
"Come on, tie me up!" Su Chengdong continued to say with a smile, so that Ah Yizhi didn't even react to what it meant when he first heard this.
Wang Hanxin beside him took advantage of his unpreparedness and kicked Ah Yizhi's knee socket, Ah Yizhi stood unsteadily, tilted to the side, and the soldiers on both sides hula surrounded him and pressed him to the ground and tied him firmly, and was gagged and pressed aside along with Pudu on the side.
Wang Hanxin turned his head and drew his sword, and shouted: "Do it!" β
Before the Koreans could react to what was going on, the Liaodong troops on both sides raised their swords and guns at the same time, and fired arrows in unison. The Goryeo soldiers were unarmed and overcrowded, and they couldn't hide even if they wanted to. Those who dared to rush out also died in the spear formation of the Liaodong Army, and within a meal, 15,000 Goryeo garrisons were killed cleanly.
Seeing this bloody massacre, many Goryeo ladies fainted in fright.
Wang Hanxin shouted to the soldiers: "Check carefully, and if you are still panting, you will make up for it!" Not a single mouth is allowed to be left alive! β
At this time, Su Chengdong stood on the hill and said loudly in Goryeo: "You don't have to panic! We've just gotten rid of these rebellious armies for Goryeo! Since you have become a prisoner of our dynasty, our army will naturally guarantee your safety before being escorted back to Chang'an City! There may still be some of you who don't understand what's going on, so I'll tell you right now that your prime minister, Ah Ulji, has secretly signed an agreement with me to hand you all over to our army, and my dynasty will make him the king of Goryeo as a vassal of our court! But how could such a disloyal and unrighteous traitor be worthy of the position of king of Goryeo? Now that I have arrested this scoundrel and his comrades, I will leave it to you Goryeo kings and ministers as to what to do! We don't interfere! β
With that, Su Chengdong waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to take Ah Yizhi and Puduna to the Goryeo prisoners. Ah Yiji, who was tied up like a rice dumpling, couldn't use his great ability at this time, and was thrown into the Goryeo prisoner pile by the soldiers. The group of captives immediately pounced on Ah Yizhi like hungry tigers, punching, kicking, and biting with their teeth, each striving to vent their anger on this traitor. Soon, Ayichi and his servant Puduno vanished from this world, leaving only a patch of red sludge confirming their existence.
"Anyway, it's a big deal." Su Chengdong closed his eyes and muttered to himself. However, in Wang Hanxin's eyes, he seemed to be saying these words to the deceased Chang Miao.
"Are we really just aiming for the capture of Pyongyang?" Wang Hanxin couldn't help but ask.
Su Chengdong opened his eyes and looked at him, for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "If there is still a battle, at least there is no need to work so hard, then leave it to you young people to do a good job." β
In the autumn of 805 in the Gregorian calendar, the capital of Goryeo fell to Pyongyang, and King Choe Moon-deok was captured. However, the state of Goryeo did not perish because of this. Two months later, Choi Jian-gang, the only surviving prince of the Goryeo royal family, succeeded to the throne in Kaesong and continued to lead the people of Goryeo in their confrontation against the country of Juan. At this time, a new situation appeared in the northwest direction of the Silk Country. (To be continued......)
