On the third day of the siege of Pyongyang, the mountain fortress of Daeseong was bathed in the morning light.
Last night's blood and fire had subsided, and now there was peace again.
On the south gate of Dacheng Mountain City, the Zhao character battle flag hunted and moved, and thousands of Zhao soldiers stood in front of the city gate. The armor on the soldier's body was bright, his expression was stern, and the red tassels on his helmet swayed with the majesty.
At this time, an ox cart with a green tent on all sides came out of the gate of the mountain city of Dacheng. There was a royal in the carriage driving the carriage, and the green tent cut off his gaze, but he could see that there was a person sitting in the green tent.
The wheels of the cart rolled slowly, the hooves of the oxen kicked and trampled, and behind the ox cart, hundreds of Goguryeo officials and noblewomen slowly walked out with their hands tied and followed the ox cart. They were very busy, with panic and uneasiness in their eyes, but they had to meet the soldiers of Zhao in front of them, who were well-groomed and armed with swords, guns and clubs.
The ox cart came to a stop in front of an arch, the green tent was raised, and the Goguryeo king Gao Jianwu, dressed in white with a ribbon around his neck, walked out of the ox cart and got off the ox cart with the support of the emperor. When he got out of the car, Gao Jianwu's legs trembled slightly, his lips moved slightly, and after looking at the arch, the man riding high on the horse in front of him knelt on the ground with a pop.
Gao Jianwu said: "The sinner Gao Jianwu knocked on Emperor Zhao's majesty, I know that I offended Zhao Ting Tianwei, the crime is unforgivable, and I am willing to die, but the people and officials are innocent, and I ask Your Majesty to let them live, I am grateful." ”
Gao Jianwu's body trembled slightly as he spoke, and Li Chongjiu, who was sitting on the horse, heard it and jumped off the horse. Li Chongjiu was wearing a military uniform and a golden helmet. Walking up to Gao Jianwu and hearing the words: "King of Goguryeo, the two countries are out of peace. Seeing the sword soldiers, so that the blood flowed like a river, this is a scene that no one wants to see. I am not a martial artist, but I will not sit idly by and watch the people suffer, and when it comes to this point, as the lord of Goguryeo, it is indeed difficult to escape the blame. ”
Gao Tao continued to translate Li Chongjiu's words into Goguryeo and told everyone present.
Listening to Li Chongjiu's reprimand. Gao Jianwu's body couldn't help trembling, Gao Tao said a word, and he responded 'yes'. When he heard that Li Chongjiu blamed him later, Gao Jianwu was even more panicked.
Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu said: "But since you have surrendered, I will spare your life and invite you to Youjing." How about staying for a while, and then letting you go back to your homeland after three or five years? ”
Gao Jianwu listened and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for your hospitality, but the road to Youjing is too far, and I am afraid that the water and soil will not be adapted, so I still implore Your Majesty to let me guard my country." I am willing to call the minister Nagong, is it okay to be filial to His Majesty every year? ”
Li Chongjiu said with a blank face when he heard this: "Back then, Ruzhi's elder brother was a minister of the Great Sui Emperor, and he described himself as the minister of Liaodong Dung Tu Yuan, and Goguryeo was called a minister of Sui. Finally rejected the Sui army, what kind of minister is this! I respect all things. Don't want to be arrogant, don't want you Goguryeo to be a minister, just let you go to Youjing, get Mu Hand, and return to China in the future to teach the people. Let the two countries be well from now on, what else do you have to be reluctant to live up to my kindness. ”
Gao Jianwu heard this and hurriedly said: "I really don't dare to live up to Emperor Zhao's intentions, but I really don't want to go to Youjing, and please think twice." ”
Li Chongjiu said solemnly: "You are toasting and not eating and drinking, but now you can't make your own opinion, someone will take the king of Goguryeo to me and escort him back to Youjing." ”
Gao Jianwu's face turned pale suddenly, and the Goguryeo official who knew Chinese on the side said on the spot: "Your Majesty Emperor Zhao, my lord has surrendered, and you, as the Son of Heaven, should be magnanimous." Even if I capture my lord, won't I, Goguryeo, choose another lord? On the contrary, it was King Zhao who sowed hatred and was the enemy of my Goguryeo for generations, and he could never stop fighting. ”
Li Chongjiu looked at the Goguryeo official and said, "Generous thoughts, jokes, when the Goguryeo people slaughtered my 300,000 Sui soldiers, did they understand what the idea of tolerance was?" You still dare to threaten me with generations as enemies, and since this is the case, you Goguryeo will have no generations, and I will tell you to finally come to the generation, and first arrest this person and cut him down! ”
Li Chongjiu's words fell, and the Zhao soldiers on the side rushed in like wolves and tigers, taking out the Goguryeo official, and the royal women and children on the side couldn't help screaming in shock. However, Li Chongjiu didn't even frown, and the two soldiers immediately took out the Goguryeo official and knocked over the hat on his head.
This Goguryeo official was also tough, although he was scattered, he still said: "Emperor Zhao, what if you kill me, I Goguryeo people can't kill them all." ”
When the words fell, Sergeant Zhao grabbed his head and cut him off with a knife. Blood splattered, and a bloody human head was lifted with one hand.
"Who of you still has objections? Stand up. ”
There was a commotion among the Goguryeo ministers, and at that moment, more than a dozen people stood up, and Li Chongjiu waved his hand.
Zhao Jun rushed into the crowd like a wolf and grabbed these people out.
Dangdang! Suddenly, several heads fell to the ground.
Under the brutality, the remaining Goguryeo people did not dare to speak, and the women and children hugged each other and cried. Li Chongjiu immediately said: "These dead people are also loyal ministers of Goguryeo, and their corpses have been collected well, I am not a person who is easy to kill, but don't challenge my bottom line, as for the others, they will all be escorted back to Youjing." ”
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers of Zhao on both sides rushed up, one serving the other, and taking down all the Goguryeo men, women and children present. The sound of crying and shouting suddenly stopped. Several Goguryeo people sang sad songs, looking up to the sky and mourning, and even the soldiers of Zhao on the side couldn't help but feel that the tune was sad and sad.
"The tune of the dead country!" Xue Wanche couldn't help but scold.
When King Yeongliu was captured and transported back to Pyongyang in a prisoner car, the people of Goguryeo were all in disbelief. There was another commotion in the city, and it was finally suppressed by Zhao Jun.
To the north of Hunshui, the remnants of Goguryeo led by Eulji Wende built twelve large camps here.
At this moment, Yizhi Wende was sitting in the tent, and on the one hand, he cleaned up the remnants of the army, let the soldiers regroup and restore their combat strength, and on the other hand, he summoned the generals of various departments such as An Sanguo, the general of the Absolute Slave Department, and other generals from various departments to come to the king of Qin.
Thanks to the efforts of Eulji Mundeok, the Goguryeo army north of Hunsu finally gained a firm foothold from the defeat.
Now Eulji Wende was discussing, gathering the people of each city to organize the righteous army to resist the Zhao army, and at this time, the news of the breach of Daeseongsanseong reached the Goguryeo camp.
Hearing this news, all the Goguryeo officials present changed color. Daeseongsanseong was destroyed, and King Yeongliu of Goguryeo was captured.
The old Ezhi Wende, when he heard the news, felt a sweet throat in the hall, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the table.
"Big Pair Lu!"
"Big yes Lu! You can't be fine! ”
"Now that the king has been captured by Zhao Jun, I, Goguryeo, have to count on you to come to something."
Everyone invited a doctor to come to the rescue, but Ezhi Wende was in a coma and did not know what to do.
