Chapter 264: The End of the Duan Clan

In the third year of Jianxing, after the beginning of spring, a fierce conflict broke out between the Jin people and the Xianbei people in Liaodong, although the war did not burn into the territory of Goguryeo, but the Goguryeo people were greatly affected.

In the Goguryeo Palace, the music is playing in unison, and the graceful palace is dancing, but the Mikawa King Gao Yifu, who is sitting on the throne, has no intention of appreciating it, and his mind is all on the battle of Liaodong.

After Wei Shuo became the master of Liaodong, he changed the previous decline of the Jin people in Liaodi, dominated the army and strengthened the army, and now the Xianbei people who fought hard had no power to fight back. Thinking that Goguryeo still occupied the two counties of Obifang and Lelang, Gao Yifu felt frightened, who knew that when Wei Shuo remembered this, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry would cross the border line and cut off his head.

In order to strengthen Goguryeo's power, Goeul-fu was determined to conquer the Samhan Peninsula in the south. He sat on the throne, his fingers tapping the table in a rhythm, and he kept thinking about how Goguryeo should go south to capture Samhan.

As the king of Goguryeo, Gao Yifu naturally understood that it was not easy to conquer the entire Samhan Peninsula, and the biggest difficulty was that there were many mountainous jungles between Goguryeo and Samhan, and it was not easy to supply logistics, and the local natives such as Dongjiwo, Julou, and Baekje were fierce and difficult to control.

Therefore, in order to conquer Samhan, in addition to sufficient logistical support, it is also necessary to take advantage of the contradictions between the countries on the peninsula to make them lose each other.

At the end of the dance, Gao Yifu waved his hand and removed the song and dance, leaving only a few confidants and ministers to discuss state affairs.

"Prime Minister of the State, the widow wants to take the land of Samhan to enrich the national strength, I don't know if it is feasible?"

"The king is worried that after the Jin people destroy the Xianbei people, he will point his troops at me Goguryeo?"

"That's right, Wei and Jin are the country of tigers and wolves, and once it becomes strong, it will definitely seek revenge from me and Lelang!"

"My lord, most of the people living on the Samhan Peninsula are fierce and unruly, and there are mountains and rivers between them and Goguryeo. If you want to take Sanhan, you must first solve the problem of logistics and supply. ”

The reason why Kura Suri was reluctant to take action on the Samhan Peninsula was because it was not easy to supply, the road between Samhan and Goguryeo was difficult to pass, and the logistics and supply of the army would be mainly based on manpower, and its losses would be multiplied, such as dispatching 5,000 troops. At least 50,000 people are needed to transport grain and grass for them.

"The widow knows, but the widow is still determined to fight Samhan! If you don't defeat Sanhan, how can you have the confidence to confront the Jin army in the future? ”

"As for the logistics supply, the prime minister does not need to worry, and the widow has his own countermeasures."

"Oh? I wonder what the king's plan is? ”

"Sailor! Didn't the Jin army rely on the sailor to send grain and grass to Zhang Tong, who was defending the city alone? Goguryeo could also bypass the mountains with a sailor and land directly at Samhan to deliver grain and grass to the army. ”

With that, Gao Yifu excitedly stood up and walked over to a huge map of the peninsula. Dao: "There is no unified country in the land of Sanhan, but a tribal alliance headed by Chenhan, Mahan, and Muhan, and there are hundreds of tribes large and small. Although the local natives are strong, the way of the polemic array is far inferior to that of Goguryeo. ”

"In the opinion of the outnumbered, only 30,000 people need to be sent to level the land of Sanhan."

"King, the only difficulty in this battle is that it is not easy to supply, so our army must fight quickly and not for a long time."

took advantage of Liaodong to deal with the Xianbei people. There is no time to take care of Goguryeo. Under the planning of King Mikawa and Kurasuke, Goguryeo dispatched an army of 30,000 with the help of the sailors. Head south to the Samhan Peninsula.

……

Yangle City, originally the county seat of Liaoxi, was later occupied by Duan's Xianbei.

With the Jin army's large-scale attack, the atmosphere in Yangle City became more and more tense, almost every day Xianbei soldiers from Yangle to the north and west, and Xianbei soldiers who retreated from the front line came here to rest.

this day. Thousands of remnants of soldiers returned from the front line and walked into Yangle City, and some Xianbei herdsmen blocked the streets on both sides of the street, watching each other and talking.

"Could it be that the great Xianbei warriors have been defeated by the Jin people again?"

Seeing such a group of dejected Xianbei soldiers, almost everyone thought of it this way. However, there is still a trace of unwillingness in their hearts. Hopefully, a miracle will happen. The Xianbei people finally lived a good life for a few days, but they didn't want to be driven back to the prairie by the Jin people.

"The great Xianbei warriors, have they already defeated the Jin people? What about the plundered Jin slaves? A Xianbei herdsman asked boldly.

"What a slave, it would be nice to come back safely. Da Dan Yu lost the battle, Lingzhi and Haiyang have been lost, and the Jin army is coming from the east and north Chaoyang Le. Alas, I'm afraid Duan's Xianbei is going to end! A Xianbei general replied gloomily.

"Ahh This...... How is this possible? How could the brave and invincible Xianbei warriors not be able to defeat even the cowardly Jin people? ”

After the surrounding Xianbei people learned that the front line had been defeated, they were in an uproar, and they remembered the news that the Jin people had slaughtered the Hu people some time ago, and some of them began to cry. The battle on the front line was not going well, not only did the ordinary Xianbei people become panicked, but even some Xianbei nobles began to panic all day long.

Some Duan nobles who were unwilling to withdraw from the stage of history wanted to secretly contact Duan Wenyang in Liaodong.

No one expected that Duan Wenyang, who left Liaoxi like a lost dog, has now become Duan's only lifeline.

In Yangle City, Duan Mobo was discussing with his subordinates the retreat of the Duan clan, he no longer had the luxury of defeating the Jin army head-on, but only wanted to find a glimmer of life for the Duan clan.

Duan Mobo looked at several henchmen with a gloomy face, and his low voice swirled in the big tent; "Ladies and gentlemen, my Duan Xianbei has reached the point of life and death, where to go, please speak freely!"

"Da Danyu, after several battles, the Duan clan has lost nearly 20,000 people, and lost the two cities of Lingzhi and Haiyang, and now the Duan clan has been fully surrounded by the Jin army, I think there is no way out except to surrender to the Jin army." Duan Qidu said with a frustrated face.

"Surrender? Hehe, even if we want to, Liaodong may not accept it. Besides, don't forget that according to the example of Duan Pipan, all the nobles, generals, soldiers and family members in the tribe who participated in the Yishui tragedy should be handed over to the Jin army to deal with. In this way, who of you here can escape the revenge of the Jin people? ”

"What if you don't surrender? That can at least win a glimmer of life for the rest of the clansmen, and with Duan Wenyang to take care of them in the future, life must not be bad! ”

"Humph! I'd rather die on the battlefield than surrender to the Jin! ”

"It's better to die than to live, it's naturally good not to die, I think the Jin army is also afraid of forcing us to a dead end, as long as Da Dan Yu proposes peace, the Jin army will definitely agree."

"That's it, that is, now that the Duan clan has reached the end of the road, what's the point of continuing to fight? It's better to surrender early! ”

"No, I firmly do not agree to surrender! Don't forget Duan Piyan, even if we surrender, it won't end well! ”

"What's wrong with Duan Piyan? It's just that it's far away from the fight, aren't people also living well in Liaodong? ”

Looking at the noisy crowd, Duan Mobo was powerless to stop it, and as the Jin army surrounded the entire Duan clan from all directions, he had lost control of the entire tribe.

Duan Mobo was very depressed, thinking that he would be able to do whatever he wanted by killing his uncle and nephew and driving away Duan Piyan and Duan Wenyang. But I don't want to after the civil strife, the Duan clan's power has been greatly reduced, not to mention competing with the Jin people, and now there is a worry about extermination.

In the face of the accusations and interrogations of the generals, Duan Mobo could only be silent, for the future of Duan's Xianbei, not to mention that others didn't even know what to do next. He wanted to negotiate peace with Jin Jun, but he also understood that the price of this peace was definitely very high, and it was possible that he could not afford it.

"Big orders are reported urgently on the front line!"

At this moment, a dusty Xianbei soldier staggered in, Duan Mobo was taken aback when he heard this, grabbed the emergency report and looked at it, and his face suddenly turned pale.

It turned out that another 3,000 Jin troops landed from the sea and entered Linyu Town, making the strength of the Jin army guarding Linyu Town as high as 6,000, so even if the Duan clan wanted to forcibly withdraw from Linyu Town to Changli, they would not be able to break through the Jin army's blockade.

"Find ...... Find someone to ...... Surrender to the Jin army! ”

"Big order is ......"

Duan Caidu, Duan Liao and other Duan clan disciples looked at the pale Duan Mobo with a worried expression, and it was not until they learned that the Jin army had completely blocked the path of Duan's escape that everyone understood why Duan Mobo had given up resistance.
