Chapter 16 Harvest Harvest
The summer nights are extraordinarily long, and when the sun rises in the east, the mountain castle seems to come to life all of a sudden, and the whole city begins to be noisy.
However, when many early woodcutters and merchants rushed out of the city to the city gates, they found that the sky seemed to have changed overnight. The familiar guards at the city gate were all gone, replaced by soldiers with unfamiliar faces but a murderous aura, and the sophisticated equipment made them all feel different from the past.
As soon as he reached the gate of the city, a leading soldier shouted loudly in words that he did not understand. Only those merchants who traveled from south to north heard that what this soldier head said was the official language of the authentic Great Sui of Middle Earth, and they were even more shocked for a while. The soldier shouted at them as he pointed to a sign on the wall.
A group of Goguryeo people who got up early to leave the city had to gather around the notice written in Goguryeo script and Dasui script, and a well-informed businessman read it to everyone while reading, "The land of Liaodong has been the land of the Central Plains since the Zhou Dynasty in China. Since the Han Dynasty, the reward has been given to the Goguryeo royal family Gao clan on behalf of the government, however, the Goguryeo Gao clan is greedy and insufficient, and they take advantage of the turbulent times in the Central Plains to steal the land of Liaodong as they already have, and refuse to bow down to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui. Today, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty led a million troops to conquer Goguryeo. The Goguryeo royal family, the new city mattress Sa Gaoqi was afraid, knowing that our emperor was coming, and he took the new city as a gift and bowed to my Great Sui. From now on, the new city will be restored to China, all the people in the city must be safe, all the people in the city are not allowed to go out of the city for the time being, they are not allowed to gather without reason, and they are sitting in their homes, if there are those who resist the order, they will be punished according to the law for the crime of rebellion, and they will be beheaded all over the house, and the law of sitting together will be lifted, and five households will be beheaded. In the ninth year of the Great Sui Dynasty, the Great Sui broke the barracks and Yingyanglang General Chen Kefu. ”
As the sky grew brighter and brighter, more and more people gathered in Goguryeo at the gates, and most of them already knew what was going on. The prince has descended to the Sui, and now this place is under the control of the Great Sui people, and each family is not allowed to go out and gather in tandem, otherwise the whole family will be beheaded according to the crime of rebellion, and five families will have to sit together.
For a while, the content of the proclamation had spread to everyone's ears in a short time, and many timid people no longer dared to stay here, and turned back to their homes one after another.
Only a few people still gathered around it and refused to leave, and most of them were also nobles in the city. After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a group of Sui cavalry galloped over, and one of the cavalrymen held a large gong in his hand, and kept beating it. A Goguryeo soldier opened his throat and kept shouting, "Everyone should go home immediately, and they must not go out without an order, otherwise they will be punished for the crime of plotting rebellion." ”
The rest of the cavalry all drew arrows with bows in their hands, as if one of them would shoot at him if he did not obey.
An old man dressed gorgeously, who is the owner of a silk village in the east of the city, usually relies on the eldest son of the family to be a last guest in the garrison of the new city, and has always been relatively rich and unkind, and has always had a kind of appearance that I can't mess with in the new city. At this time, I saw that a few small soldiers actually dared to open their bows to him, and said very arrogantly, "My son is the last guest, dare to hold a bow to me like this, I will let people break your dog's legs, you untouchables." ”
Goguryeo fought for many years, and Goguryeo was also composed of nobles, commoners, and slaves, while most of the soldiers in the army were civilians and slaves.
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the horsemen on his horse had already shot him in the center of the eyebrow, and the owner of the silk village fell to the ground with a look of disbelief, and his eyes kept wide open. All the languages in the world are not more powerful than the threat of death, and the people who were still standing there and refused to leave, as soon as they saw that the Sui soldiers shot Zhao Yuanwai in the east of the city without saying a word, for a while, no one who was not afraid of death dared to stay there, and they all turned pale and trotted back to their respective homes.
The cavalrymen who had just shot Zhao Yuanwai had just put away their bows as if they had done a trivial matter, and the group continued to announce the Sui army notice to all the residents of the city along the street.
The Goguryeo camp in the north of the city, in the past, there would be some exercises here in the morning, and the sound spread to half of the new city, but this morning the sun has hung in the air, but the camp is still quiet. It seems that all the soldiers were still asleep last night, and occasionally one or two groups of soldiers appeared, but they were all soldiers wearing Sui army armor.
The main account of the Chinese army in the northern camp of Goguryeo City, this used to be the place where Gao Qi came to order troops every morning, although he only stayed here for a few hours every day, but this big account was still magnificent and magnanimous.
Chen Pojun, the commander of the broken military camp, sat neatly in the same position where Gao Qi used to sit, and two rows of generals stood on both sides of the tent. Except for a few lieutenants who held important posts, all the officers above the rank of squad gathered here.
Gao Qi and the Goguryeo generals, who were the first to surrender to the Sui army, stood at the bottom, each with their heads bowed. And every Sui army general couldn't control the excitement and excitement in his heart, there was no reason not to be excited, they broke the barracks and made great contributions.
"Last night Lingchen, I waited under the order of the general, led the troops into the camp, and the nine thousand Goguryeo soldiers were really drunk and unconscious, and they were easily tied up by us, and they were still thrown in the back warehouse and imprisoned, many of them have not woken up yet, and it is estimated that they don't even know what happened until now. The few who were still awake to resist, we all killed them on the spot. My lord, Xincheng has completely fallen into my hands, and the 20,000 Goguryeo soldiers in Xincheng, including more than 200 servants, have all been taken. In addition to more than 900 of the 20,000 Goguryeo soldiers annihilated, more than 3,000 were wounded, and the remaining 16,000 soldiers and generals were all captured. This time, nearly 10,000 war horses, more than 3,000 cattle, 10,000 leaders of Mingguang armor, more than 200,000 stones of grain, and countless other military equipment were captured. In addition, there are more than 10,000 households in the new city, with a population of more than 60,000. General, this is the last great victory I have ever won before the three expeditions of the Great Sui to Goguryeo. Although Sima Zhaocheng is a civilian in the broken barracks, he is still a good man who has been on the battlefield several times, and at this time he is also wearing a suit of armor, holding an account book in his hand, and he is excited to report the results of this battle loudly with a red face.
As soon as Chen Kefu heard that he had captured more than 10,000 war horses, more than 3,000 cattle, 10,000 Mingguang armor, and more than 200,000 stones of grain, this harvest was really the most surprising and unexpected for him. Twenty stone of grain can be used for at least 20,000 troops for a year, which is a great gift. The grain and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Sui army had to be transferred from the Central Plains, and the grain and grass of ten stones were transported from the Central Plains, and finally transported to Liaodong had to consume nearly ten times.
"Can the prince tell me why there are so many grain and grass materials in this new city?"
Gao Qi said with a wry smile, "Since the war with the Great Sui, the king of Goguryeo has ordered all the Liaodong front lines to clear the walls, strengthen the mountain cities, move a large number of villagers from the surrounding tribes into the city, and store a large number of materials in the rear into the cities. According to the plan of the king of Goguryeo, there was enough food for the whole city in each city to feed the people of the city for a year, so as to drag the Sui army across. ”
I'll go, Chen Kefu scolded hatefully in his heart, it turned out that the Goguryeo people had already set a strategy, and wanted to use the turtle shrinkage strategy and rely on those strong mountain cities to play a defensive battle with the Sui army, a protracted war. Think about the several failures of the Sui army in history to conquer Goguryeo, and indeed most of them were defeated by this.
Chen Kefu stood up and said loudly, "This time I broke the barracks for the first time, and I achieved such an achievement, which really depends on the blessing of my emperor. Bing Cao Counselor Wang Lin Wang listened to the order! ”
"The subordinates are here!"
Chen Kefu handed him a copy of the fold in his hand and said, "This is the detailed seal of my broken military camp to conquer the new city, and the military exploits of all the soldiers are recorded here, now you immediately take a team of men and horses to Liaodong City immediately, report to Your Majesty, please send a soldier and horses to come quickly, my 3,000 soldiers and soldiers of the broken military camp are quite difficult to defend such a big city." Bring Gao Qi with you to your majesty, take care of yourself on the road, and go back quickly. ”
As soon as Wang Lin heard that the general had actually handed over such a good errand to himself, he was immediately excited. He has made such a great contribution to the destruction of the military camp, and he will definitely get a generous reward if he goes to report to His Majesty the Emperor. Chen Kefu didn't let a few of his old brothers go, but let him go, this is treating himself as a confidant. Thinking about it again, Chen Kefu has made several great achievements in a short period of time, and he will definitely be able to ascend to heaven if he follows him in the future. At that moment, after excitedly showing his loyalty to Chen Kefu, he happily led a team of people to take Gao Qi straight to Liaodong City.
