"Kill! Hugh is going to escape from the king of Buyeo! ”

The Goguryeo coach excitedly raised his sword and shouted.

In the end, the king of Buyeo did not have the courage to go to the front line in person, and the result was undoubtedly a crushing defeat.

The plains to the Buyeo King City were full of remnants of the Buyeo Kingdom, and the Goguryeo army was chasing after them like hares.

At this time, the remaining cities of Buyeo were like girls stripped naked, and they could only be played with by the Goguryeo army.

On the same day, the Goguryeo army took the Buyeo King City, and then divided the troops into six routes to conquer the various cities of Buyeo Kingdom, some small cities, under the control of the slave owners, and after the desperate resistance of the medium cities, the Goguryeo commander in order to boost morale, the People's Liberation Army was disciplined for three days.

Under this pull and a dozen offensives, the Buyeo Kingdom fell in less than half a month, and the king of Buyeo fled into Xianbei with 20,000 remnants.

It is worth mentioning that the envoy who originally sent the Han Dynasty surrendered to the Goguryeo army, and it still has some influence in the Buyeo country, and it can be said that the Goguryeo army can be overwhelming and has nothing to do with it.

Just when Goguryeo took the entire territory of Buyeo, Liu Hong also came to the end of the grassland, the periphery of the Xianbei territory.

After setting up camp ten miles away from Xianbei City, Liu Hong could have entered the territory of Xianbei, after all, Huang Zhong took five cities west of the Nenjiang River.

However, under Xianbei's strong counterattack, Huang Zhong only led the crowd to resist for two days, and then lost the Nenjiang defense line, and then unwilling to consume the only few cavalry of the Han army, Huang Zhong ordered the whole army to abandon the city and enter the grassland to wait for the arrival of Liu Hong's army.

When Liu Hong came to settle down. Huang Zhong was immediately summoned.

Huang Zhong entered Liu Hong's big tent. He hurriedly made a big salute on the ground. He said, "The last general, Huang Zhong, will meet Your Majesty." ”

"Excuse me!" Liu Hong said lightly, making people unable to guess their joy and anger.

Huang Zhong bowed his head and stood in the big tent without saying a word, he knew that he had lost five cities in a row this time, which could be said to be an unforgivable crime, but if Huang Zhong was given another chance, Huang Zhong would still do it, because Huang Zhong wanted to avoid the loss of the Han army's iron cavalry.

Liu Hong glanced at Huang Zhong and asked, "Aiqing has something to say?" ”

Huang Zhong made another big gift and said, "The last general will lose five cities in a row." Capital crime! ”

"Which five cities?" Liu Hong asked puzzled.

Huang Zhong was stunned when he heard this, and said randomly, "These are the five cities west of the Nenjiang River. ”

Liu Hong pointed to the map on the side and asked again, "Aiqing, can you point out where these five cities are in Dahan?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Zhong raised his head and looked at the map on the side, random Huang Zhong was stunned, because the map hanging on the side was a map of the Han Dynasty, and there was not even a grassland on it, where did the five cities of Nenjiang come from in the north of the original Buyeo Kingdom?

Seeing this, Huang Zhong had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, those five cities are not on this map!" ”

Liu Hong chuckled when he heard this: "That's strange. Since Aiqing lost the city of the Han Dynasty, what is the crime? Isn't Aiqing a general of the Han Dynasty? ”

Huang Zhong replied loudly: "The last general is a Han person. Death is the soul of a great man! ”

"Good!" Liu Hong snorted lightly, and then said, "This time, Aiqing chased the enemy for thousands of miles, although it was to kill Murong, the king of Xianbei, but it was also to make the place where the army passed a piece of stability, which is a great achievement." I have already prepared the reward, but I will not issue it until I return to Luoyang, otherwise it will hinder the soldiers from making new contributions. ”

Huang Zhong smiled slightly when he heard this, in this campaign, all the soldiers who went out on the expedition became a lot of rich people, especially the cavalry, and they were even richer, so all the soldiers handed over the spoils of war to the rear army to transport back to the Han Dynasty, otherwise there would be so many things and no need to do anything else.

Liu Hong groaned slightly, and then said: "But Aiqing's reward, I decided not to give it." ”

Huang Zhong heard that there was no trace of dissatisfaction, there was no sadness or joy on his face, Huang Zhong believed that Liu Hong was not a person who did not distinguish between rewards and punishments, on the contrary, Liu Hong was a person who rewarded and punished clearly, which is also why Liu Hong knew that everything was false, and only the wealth in hand was the greatest motivation for the soldiers of the Han army.

Sure enough, Liu Hong did not disappoint him, only heard Liu Hong say lightly, "I heard that Aiqing got a son before the expedition, but this son seems to be a little unwell. ”

"How about I don't give Aiqing any reward this time, but only give Aiqing a sturdy son?"

When he heard the last sentence, Huang Zhong's head 'buzzed', and his excited lips trembled, since ancient times, inheritance has been the most important thing for people, Liu Hong knows from history how much Huang Zhong cares for this son.

Although Liu Hong said that when he cured Huang Zhong's son, he didn't have much confidence in his heart, after all, ancient medicine was not as developed as later generations, but Liu Hong firmly believed that with the precious medicine of the whole Han Dynasty, Huang Zhong's son could still grow up and inherit the lineage, which was enough.

If Huang Zhong's son is really cured, Liu Hong believes that Huang Zhong will never betray him, otherwise in this era of reputation, just the spit of the people of the world can drown Huang Zhong, who is invincible in force.

Even if he didn't heal Huang Zhong's son, but when the good precious medicinal materials were sent in a steady stream, how could Huang Zhong not be grateful?

Therefore, this is a profitable and unlost business, and Liu Hong is still willing to do this kind of business.

After a long while, Huang Zhong came back to his senses, knelt in the big tent with a resolute face and shouted, "Your Majesty, the last general!" ”

Liu Hong hurriedly said, "Hurry up!" ”

Li Hao, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly came over to help Huang Zhong up, and after Huang Zhong got up, he bowed and thanked him again.

Liu Hong chuckled and said, "Aiqing, don't be a child, go back to the army quickly!" ”

"No! The end will be retired! ”

After Huang Zhong left, Lu Zhi from Liu Hong's staff on the side got up and came to the center of the big tent and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has some doubts, please solve your Majesty's doubts, and please forgive Your Majesty for being rude!" ”

Liu Hong looked at Lu Zhi and said with a smile: "Aiqing, what's the matter?" ”

For Lu Zhi, Liu Hong originally looked down on him, because Lu Zhi was too upright, and his integrity was a little too much. Therefore, Liu Hongcai asked Lu Zhi to be Tingweizheng, an official position that requires selflessness to do a good job.

But it seems that Lu Zhi is not an unchangeable integrity, but his own principles, just like Lu Zhi did not bribe Zuo Feng in history, Lu Zhi is not ignorant of the consequences of doing so, who can do Lu Zhi's position at that time, who is stupid?

It's just one thing to know, it's another thing to do, if Lu Zhi bribed Zuo Feng at that time, he could indeed protect himself, but he lost his principles.

People who have no principles are either villains or heroes, and obviously Lu Zhi is not among the two, because Lu Zhi is a principled person.

Therefore, Liu Hong wanted to promote Lu Zhi in his heart, of course, the biggest reason was to balance, so that Huang Zhong would be loyal to himself, not to the Han, but to balance Xu Rong, who was becoming more and more powerful in the army.

The promotion of Lu Zhi was to balance the power of the imperial party, and Liu Hong no longer wanted to rely on the revival party at this time, after all, Chen Fan and Hu Guang left one after another, and the revival party was no longer a force that obeyed Liu Hong.

It is precisely for these reasons that Liu Hong went to Lu Zhi to solve his doubts, otherwise the military situation is like fire, how can Liu Hong care about Lu Zhi's questions. (To be continued......)
