Zhao Zi's battle flag hunted and moved.

The huge flagship of the Zhao army slowly sailed into the port, and Li Chongjiu stood on the ship, and everywhere he could see was the wreckage and corpses left behind after the battle. The port, the docks present a scene after being swept away by a storm.

Li Chongjiu disembarked from the flagship, and Cheng Mingzhen was already waiting on the shore.

Cheng Mingzhen said to Li Chongjiu: "It is already the news obtained by torturing the Goguryeo captives, this place is Nanpu at the mouth of the Hunshui River, and there is a town nearby. There are more than 3,000 Goguryeo naval troops and 100 large and small warships in the port, and now more than 3,000 people have been wiped out. Most of the warships were sunk, and more than 20 were captured. In addition, there are more than 8,000 people in the port, 200 fishing boats of all kinds, none of which have escaped the net, and in the warehouse on the wharf, there are hundreds of loads of fresh fish, leather goods, grain, ceramics and other things, which have not yet been counted. ”

Li Chongjiu said: "I know, and I will reward the fresh fish to the sailors." The captives are all taken to the ship, don't waste time here, by the way, how is the movement in the direction of Pyongyang? ”

Cheng Mingzhen said: "The beacon tower of the Goguryeo people has already been transmitted, and it is really impossible to stop it. Presumably, the whole city of Pyongyang now knows the news of our army's attack. ”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "This is something that cannot be stopped, it is necessary to fight now, and immediately capture Pyongyang, otherwise once Goguryeo reacts, people from all over the country will lead the army to Qin Wang, and our army will lose its fighters." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Xuansu walked quickly at this time, his face was full of joy.

Li Chongjiu teased: "Zhang Aiqing has never been surprised, what is the happy event." Can you be so happy? ”

Zhang Xuansu said with a smile: "Your Majesty is indeed a great joy, just now the Silla envoy has sent to the empty mountain. According to the news of the two masters of Yuan Xiao, the king of Silla had sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to the mouth of the Hunshui River by boat to cooperate with His Majesty's war against Goguryeo. ”

Li Chongjiu and Cheng Mingzhen both showed surprised and happy looks. Cheng Mingzhen said: "This is really unexpected, I thought that the king of Silla would not agree, but I didn't expect to send so many people." ”

Jin Chunqiu on the side, Jin Yuxin also showed an unbelievable look.

Soon the Silla fleet had arrived. After seeing Yuan Xiao, Li Chongjiu learned that Silla had sent troops with the support of Princess Deman, who had been cautious and conservative and had been seriously ill, and all the affairs of the court were handled by Princess Deman. According to Yuan Xiao's words, although this Princess Deman is a woman, her knowledge is very outstanding.

This time, he supported Silla and Zhao to attack Goguryeo together. It was supported by the Silla Upper Rank Vitan, the Elder Yeonchang, the Chuan River, and the former Hwarang Immortal Monk Hurim. Princess Deman immediately instructed that the upper class of Bi Tan and the great class of Yan Chuan lead the army to attack from Dangxiang City.

Li Chongjiu has to know why. couldn't help but be very happy, but Jin Chunqiu showed a gloomy look. If Princess Deman maintains an uncooperative attitude towards Zhao Guo, then his status in Li Chongjiu's heart will increase, but if Princess Deman leans towards Zhao Guo, then Li Chongjiu's need for him will be dispensable.

After rendezvous with Silla reinforcements. Li Chongjiu's grasp of capturing Pyongyang City is a little more. At that moment, Yi Chong-gu ordered the fleet to attack Pyongyang from the Hunshui River.

The land of Goguryeo. The west is Liaoshui, which is the boundary between Goguryeo and the Han people, the north is the wild land of the Khitan Yao, and the south faces the sea and loses the exhibition space, only the west to the east can be expanded, although there are many mountains and mountains here, but there are rivers such as the Yalu River running through, which is convenient to pass through. In addition, the mountain range dominated by Changbai Mountain, although it is inconvenient for transportation due to the mountain barrier, is a barrier given by God to the Goguryeo people, and Goguryeo built mountain cities here, preventing the invasion of the Korean Peninsula by the Donghu people and Han forces many times.

From the Chubu Mountains to the east, the terrain gradually flattens, and many of the famous rivers of the Korean Peninsula today originate here, such as the Hyunsu River originating in the northern Goguryeo mountain range, and the Cheongcheon River (Sasu) and the Han River where Silla is now located all originate from the Chubu Mountain Range.

Zhao Jun traced the river along the Hunshui River, fifty miles to the north is the city of Pyongyang, and on the way, the Ningjiang River came from the west and merged with the Hunshui River to flow into the sea.

The Hun Plain, that is, the Datong River Plain in later generations. It has always been a place of wealth and prosperity in Goguryeo. Entering Goguryeo from Liaodong is like entering Sichuan and Shu, and it is also a process of going through difficulties and dangers and finally reaching a rich place.

The Goguryeo people built many canals along the river to divert water for irrigation, and along the river they saw many villages, farmland, and barns. After the autumn harvest, the Goguryeo people obviously hoarded a lot of grain and grass, and if they sent light horses along the river bank to raid now, they would definitely have a great harvest.

The generals of Zhao Jun and Silla were all ready to make a move and proposed to Li Chongjiu to clear the nearby villages, but Li Chongjiu refused, and he told the generals that there was only one purpose for the expedition, and that was Pyongyang.

The beacon smoke of the beacon tower went all the way to the north, and the Goguryeo people along the river bank were panicked when they saw the huge Zhao army fleet entering the river, and everywhere they could see the crowd fleeing hastily towards the mountain.

In fact, not long after the Zhao army attacked the port of Nampo, the Goguryeo people in the royal city of Pyongyang had already seen the news of the attack on Nampo from the beacon tower on the border. Pyongyang Fortress is located on the northern bank of the Hunshui River, and the Goguryeo people have been operating here for many years since the relocation of the capital, and the city has long been built into an impregnable fortress.

In the Anhe Palace, the current king of Goguryeo is called King Rongliu, who is the younger brother of the male lord of Yingyang, King Gaoyuan, who claimed to Yang Guang as the dung soil minister of Liaodong and resisted Yang Guang's million-strong army. After the death of Gao Yuan, the king of Yingyang, his younger brother Rongliu Wang succeeded to the throne.

When Hu'er attacked Pyongyang and fought a decisive battle with the Goguryeo army, Gao Jianwu volunteered to lead hundreds of people who dared to die to fight for the Goguryeo army, and the famous general Fei Qingnu of the Sui army fought in the whole battle.

Five years after Gao Jianwu took office, he continued to implement his father's strategy of defending in the east and attacking in the west. Goguryeo built the Great Wall of 1,000 miles to the east against the rising Zhao state, while in the west it fought Silla for the Han River valley that it had lost that year.

After Gao Jianwu ascended to the throne, he made great efforts to govern the country, allied with the Turks in the west, united with Baekje in the east, contained Zhao on the one hand, and attacked Goguryeo on the other. A few years later, Goguryeo had recovered from the weakened state of the Sui army after the conquest of the Sui army, and there were 300,000 soldiers in the country, reproducing the strength of the great power of Haidong.

Now in the Anhe Palace, Gao Jianwu heard about the attack on Nanpu Port, and couldn't help frowning, looked at Xiada Lu, that is, Goguryeo's national ruler Eulzhi Wendeok, and asked: "The beacon tower in Nanpu only burned for half an hour and then went out, what do you think of Da Xianglu?" Was it the pirates, Baekje, Silla, or who did it? ”
