Wu Nian barracks, inside the big tent.

There were dozens of people, but there was silence. Many civil officials were pale and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Fortunately, Chen Yongjun spoke first, otherwise......

Wu Nian first showed an angry face, but quickly calmed down, sighed quietly, and said, "Goguryeo has loyal ministers. ”

"Store Chen Yongjun's head well, and wait for the city to be breached. His body was found, placed in a good coffin, and transported back to his hometown for burial. ”

"Be kind to his family."

Immediately, Wu Nian said.

"Yes." A civil servant stepped forward and bowed.

"General. This fang is stubborn. I ask that I immediately lead my troops to attack the city, break through the pass, and kill this fang. Zhao Yanting stood in front of Wu Nian, with an angry face, and said loudly.

Zhang Sheng pursed his lips.

Who doesn't know. Among the many lieutenants of General Fu Han. Even Feng Chong, that nasty ghost, is more loyal than you.

What this fang.

Stubborn.

Although Deng Qingshan killed the general's envoys, he is also more respectable than you.

Wu Nian shook his head and said, "Deng Qingshan killed my envoy and blocked my army. Death is too good for him. But we've just arrived at Kyokaku Castle, and we're tired of people. ”

"Let's rest for the day. Let's attack the city tomorrow. ”

Zhao Yanting was disappointed when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he bent down with his fists and said, "Attack the city tomorrow." Please let the lowly take the lead. ”

"Okay." Wu Nian nodded in agreement.

The sun sets.

Deng Qingshan wore armor, inspected the four city walls tirelessly, and led his soldiers back to the mansion in the city.

The soldiers served dinner. He was so worried that he had no appetite at all, but he still managed to eat a full meal.

People are iron, and rice is steel.

The next defense of the city will be extremely hard. If you don't eat, your body will collapse quickly.

He didn't know if he had suppressed the wavering generals. But I know that if I even collapse myself, there is no hope at all.

Deng Qingshan entered the study, picked up the lamp and read the military book for a while, and then entered the bedroom to sleep.

"Kill !!!!!!"

"Slaughtered Deng Qingshan. Open the city gates and welcome General Fuhan into the city. ”

"Kill !!"

"Traitor. You traitors. ”

Late at night. Deng Qingshan was awakened by the sound of shouting and killing from outside the room and sat up. Then he smiled bitterly, closed his eyes, and said in despair.

"The edifice will fall, and it will be irretrievable without peerless talent."

"I'm just a mantis arm as a car."

Deng Qingshan did not hesitate, put on his shoes and bent down to take out a wooden box from under the bed, opened it, took out a small black porcelain bottle, pulled out the stopper and aimed it at his mouth, and poured out the liquid in it.

After a while, Deng Qingshan fell onto the bed, bleeding to death.

Great Xia will fall, and it is not something that can be recovered by manpower.

There are only a few generals who rebel tonight, but most of them are also disloyal subjects. They waited and watched, neither launching nor stopping the rebellion.

With Deng Qingshan's death, what happened next was without waves.

Early the next morning. Zhao Yanting was one step ahead of Wu Nian and led his soldiers into Jingge City. The Goguryeo soldiers were moved outside the city.

All the generals of Goguryeo went out of the North City Gate to welcome Wu Nian.

"Da-da-da-da." Wu Nian, surrounded by Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun, came to the gate of the city.

"I am Wu Nian. Last night's thing. Who is the mastermind? Wu Nian asked condescendingly.

"General Qiyu. It was the villain who conspired with the two generals Chen Guijin and Zhang Li. A Goguryeo general stood up and respectfully clasped his fists in salute.

"The villain is from Chuncheon Province. Qin Zhang. ”

His eyebrows were full of joy, and the other two were not far behind. The remaining Goguryeo generals, some were silent, and some looked at Qin Zhang's gaze, faintly repulsive.

Although people's hearts are shaken, people like Deng Qingshan are worthy of respect.

Those who do it are naturally despised by everyone.

"Well done. For the time being, you will be the commander-in-chief and command more than 10,000 Goguryeo soldiers. and I will give you five hundred taels of gold. ”

"Chen Guijin and Zhang Li's gold are two hundred taels."

Wu Nian was not ashamed of the behavior of the three of them, and had already made up his mind that when the situation stabilized, he would remove the three of them from their official positions and let them go to the countryside to farm.

But now, he can only be rewarded for his merits.

"Thank you, General." The three of them didn't know what Wu Nian was thinking, and they were immediately overjoyed and thanked them.

After entering the city. Wu Nian only did two things. Arrange the bodies of Chen Yongjun and Deng Qingshan. Then he left only a small number of soldiers to garrison Gyeongak Castle, and led five captains plus 10,000 Goguryeo soldiers to kill the capital.

This time, there is no obstacle ahead.

..............

Goguryeo Gyeongseong.

The gates of the Quartet were closed.

Those who can run are gone, and those who can't are afraid to wander the streets. The streets were deserted, with only patrolling soldiers.

Inside the royal palace.

Li Jinzhu sat on the throne, and below him were Li Yongshan, Li Yunzhong, Zhao Mancheng and other important ministers.

Li Jinzhu's peerless face is finally no longer bright and moving, and the light is dim.

"Can the capital still be held?" Li Jinzhu grabbed the cushion with his right hand, and his voice was slightly hoarse. Her eyes fell on Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunzhong.

The snow unicorn has finally become a gray unicorn. Zhao Mancheng sighed and was about to speak.

The old minister Yu Wei stood up and said excitedly: "Why did the Queen Mother say this? Although Kyokaku Castle was breached by Wu Nian. But the walls of the capital were tall and strong, and there were 70,000 soldiers. The people of the city are willing to smear the liver and brain of the royal family. ”

"It's just Wu Nian. Absolutely unable to break through the capital. ”

"Lord Yu is right. There are 500,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, and the grain and grass can last for two years. Definitely can hold the capital. ”

"Please don't doubt the Queen Mother and order to defend the national capital."

Many people stood up, both cheering Li Jinzhu and begging Li Jinzhu.

How can the national capital be easily abandoned?

Li Jinzhu did not reply, but just looked at Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunzhong.

Zhao Mancheng did not hesitate, stood up and said, "Queen Mother." The hearts of men have been scattered. Kyokaku Castle is a lesson in point. ”

"Although the capital is the capital, we can hold it for a while. But under the onslaught of Wu Nian, it was only a matter of time before there was a rebellion inside. ”

"The capital can't hold it. The minister thought that he should retreat to the Han River. Divide the river with Wu Nian. ”

"Queen Mother. General Zhao was right. The Han River is not only a line of defense, the south is mountainous, and it is easy to defend. What's more, our Li family, as well as the Zhao family, have prestige in the south and can gain a foothold. ”

"And there are tens of thousands of naval troops on the Yalu River, and tens of thousands of navies on the sea. Retreat to the Han River and endure for a while. There will be a day when the clouds will see the light of day. ”

Li Yunpet also stood up and said sincerely.

Before. They replied to Li Jinzhu that the capital could be garrisoned, and they really had some confidence.

But the rapid fall of Kyokaku Castle shattered their illusions.

The human heart is unpredictable.

And he has already discussed it with Zhao Mancheng. Fleeing to Seoul on the Han River is a test along the way.

Those who are unfaithful will definitely leave the team and go north to Wu Nian.

The faithful will follow them to Seoul. As long as the army is loyal enough, it is not a problem to hold the Han River and Seoul.

"Zhao Mancheng, Li Yunzhong. You want to abandon the capital? Villain. Villain. Yu Wei was suddenly furious and scolded.

The ministers who were in favor of garrisoning the capital just now also cursed one after another.

Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng's faces were ugly, but they did not open their mouths to refute.

Abandoning the national capital is indeed a sinner for the ages.

Li Jinzhu was very frightened.

Is the capital really unfortunate?

If the capital can't be defended, then can Seoul be defended?
