----------- Introduction

A "clang" sound came from the room, and Gao Xiannu, who was guarding the door, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and another good Yue kiln celadon turned into broken foam. This should be the twelfth piece of porcelain broken by the king in this month, Gao Xiannu counted it silently in his heart. Since mid-August, the king's mood has been getting worse and worse day by day.

Gao Xiannu was a native of Baekje, but since he was captured by the Goguryeo army at the age of ten and brought back to Marudu, he became a "glorious" Goguryeo royal chamberlain. Gao Xiannu is about the same age as Gao Zhao, the king of Goguryeo, and the two grew up together, so Gao Xiannu can be regarded as Gao Zhao's most trusted person, and even his name was given by Gao Zhao. Gao Zhao has been the king of Goguryeo for more than 20 years, and Gao Xiannu has also been a regular attendant of Goguryeo for more than 20 years.

Hearing that Gao Zhao in the room no longer roared in victory, but cursed in a low voice, Gao Xiannu knew that his master had changed from thunderous to desperate. The continuous blows of more than two months have brought the Goguryeo king to the brink of collapse, and God is too cruel to him. Gao Xiannu could feel the pain of his master. So my heart is also full of sorrow.

After more than 20 years of life, Gao Xiannu has forgotten where he came from and has thoroughly regarded himself as a Goguryeo. This Goguryeo eunuch, who accompanied Gao Zhao to study and learned a lot of literature, was "painfully" recalling the "disaster" of Goguryeo.

The catastrophe should be counted from the seventh year of the reign of the former Wei dynasty (246 AD). Wuqiu Jian, the former Gaoyang Township Marquis of Wei, led the Wei army to ride 10,000 people on foot and east out of Xuanjun to defeat Goguryeo. Goguryeo Dongchuan King Gaogaogong personally led more than 20,000 foot cavalry to meet the enemy to the boiling water, and fought the Wei army in Liangkou (now Jiangkou Village, Tonghua City). The two armies faced each other and fought to the death, and the Wei army met the enemy in a phalanx. The Dongchuan King's High Palace was defeated. The Wei army beheaded thousands. The high-ranking palace led a small number of remnants of the army to flee back in embarrassment. Defend the fortified Maruto Castle. After besieging the city, Wuqiu Jian sent strange soldiers to sneak in from the back mountain. Conquered Maruto Mountain Castle. Wu Qiu Jian adopted the strategy of burning and killing all of them, and slaughtered the city of Marudu.

Soon, Wuqiu Jian led his troops to attack Goguryeo, and the Dongchuan Wang's high-ranking palace fled in panic again, and went north to Maigou (now Huining, Xianbei, North Korea). Wuqiu Jian sent Xuantai Shou Wang Qi to chase after him, and went straight through Wofu for more than a thousand miles, to the southern boundary of the Su Shen clan. Carved stone and also note: In 1904, Wuqiu Jian carved stone Ji Gong was found in Ji'an, Jilin Province, and is now stored in the Liaoning Provincial Museum. Two major defeats made the Dongchuan King High Palace depressed and died in the escape.

Former Wei burned all the pills, thinking that Goguryeo would perish, so the class returned to the west. Goguryeo slowly recovered from the difficulties, not only rebuilding the city of Marudu, but also began to frequently attack Liaodong and Xuanjun, and finally annexed Lelang County. Advance all the way to Bukhansan Mountain (north of present-day Seoul). The country began to grow stronger again.

But the good times did not last long, and with the rise of neighboring Murong Xianbei, Goguryeo began a new disaster.

August of the third year of Yuankang (293 AD). The Xianbei governor Murong Diao led an army to attack Goguryeo, igniting the war between Yan and Goguryeo. Goguryeo Feng King Gao Xiangfu followed in the footsteps of his great-grandfather and fled in embarrassment. Murong Jun chased after him, and in the end, Gao Xiangfu was rescued by his five hundred elite horsemen in a death-defying battle. Three years later, that is, in the sixth year of Yuankang (296 AD), Murong Diao called again. That time, Murong Diao dug up the tomb of King Xichuan, the father of the king of Fengshang, which later seemed to have become a habit of Murong Jun's visit to Goguryeo.

In the decades that followed, Yan and Goguryeo attacked each other.

In the ninth year of Xianhe (334 AD), the lord (Gao Zhao), who had succeeded to the throne for only three years, built Pyongyang City (not the Pyongyang of the Datong River) and Donghuang City on the site of the old capital of the domestic city (now Ji'an Ancient City, Jilin) on the site of the old capital (now Ji'an Ancient City, Jilin), which echoed with the Marudu Mountain City (now Beishan Chengzi, Ji'an City, Jilin) to the north.

In the fifth year of Xiankang (339 AD), Murong Hao, the lord of Yan, led his troops to attack Goguryeo, and after reaching the new city, the lord (Gao Zhao) had no choice but to beg for the alliance. Perhaps seeing that Goguryeo was quite submissive, Murong Hao, the lord of Yan, finally withdrew his troops.

In November of the eighth year of Xiankang (342), Murong Hao, who was preparing to conquer the Central Plains, in order to solve the troubles, launched a large-scale crusade against Goguryeo. He divided his troops into two ways to attack Goguryeo, and led the main elite 40,000 to attack from the south province, with his brother Murong Han and his son Murong Chui as the vanguard, and ordered Changshi Wang Yu and others to lead 15,000 troops to attack from the north province. When the lord heard this, he judged that the main force of the Yan army must come from the north road, and immediately sent his brother Gao Wu to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to defend the north road, and led his weak brigade to defend the south road.

Murong Han fought with the lord at Mudi in Nandao, and the brave Murong Han defeated the Goguryeo army and took advantage of the victory to force into Marudu, and Gao Zhao fled alone. Murong Hao has a big beast and digs the first king (King Mikawa

The mausoleum, carrying the remains and dozens of queens, queens, princes and princesses, collected the treasures of the house, and plundered more than 50,000 men and women, burned the palace room, destroyed the pills and went west.

Goguryeo, which had suffered another blow of near-annihilation, no longer had the strength to confront Yan again. The lord who suffered this great humiliation endured the humiliation, collected all kinds of treasures and tiger skins, ginseng, deer antler velvet and other local products, and sent his younger brother Gao Lifu to Yan to pay tribute in the second year. It's hateful that Murong Hao only returned the remains of the ancestor and still detained the queen mother and didn't return it as a hostage.

Thinking of this, Gao Xiannu couldn't help but burst into tears, and his heart was like a knife. Such a big humiliation, I can't stand it alone, how should I bear it as the master of the party?

Fortunately, the Lord did not give up because of this, but became stronger. He moved the capital to Donghuangcheng and worked hard to restore Goguryeo.

In October of the ninth year of Xiankang (345 AD), Murong Hao, the lord of Yan, sent his son again. Murong Ke, who is known as the peerless Fenghua, attacked Goguryeo, easily captured Nansu City (now south of Wulongshan City), and returned it.

In the following years, perhaps it was the Yan lord Murong Jun who saw that Goguryeo was still obedient to his orders, and received a large amount of tribute from the land, coupled with the lord's repeated pleas and bribes to the favored ministers of the Yan State, finally sent the empress dowager back to Goguryeo, and named the lord "Yan Zhengdong General, Yingzhou Assassin Shi, Lelang Gong, and Goguryeo King".

But this title became an excuse for Beifu to crusade against Goguryeo.

Who knew that the once-powerful Yan Kingdom would lose so quickly in the game of the war in situ. So thoroughly. Before Goguryeo could react. That is a majestic figure. Murong Jun, the Yan lord who cherishes the world, is dead, and even the Murong Ke, who is beautiful in appearance and excellent in both civil and military affairs, is also dead.

Although Yan was defeated in Jizhou a few years ago, no one thought that Yan was in decline, and in those years, Yan attacked Fuyu, Goguryeo and other countries more fiercely.

Soon, the Beifu army came, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, sweeping across the former overlord of this place, Murong of the Yan Kingdom. Impression of the North Prefecture. Gao Xiannu, like other Goguryeo people, in addition to the merchants of Beifu who can bring countless rare treasures, the one who can make them remember Beifu the most is the famous Beihai general - Lu Zhen.

This young general, who was only in his twenties, led tens of thousands of iron horsemen to the south repeatedly. Their iron hooves and sabers swept like a typhoon to the east of Xianbei Mountain and south of Wanshui. First Kou Man Khan, Wu Luohou, and then Lou and Fuyu, they were vulnerable in front of the rolling Beihai cavalry, and nearly a million Donghu surrendered to his majesty. With the cries of the refugees fleeing south, the Beihai general, who killed the young and strong people of the whole clan at every turn, spread throughout Goguryeo like a demon king.

Now the North Sea general is here. He stood in Wuji Castle. Pointing to Goguryeo, he said loudly to the horsemen of the tribes who came in response to the order: "To the east of Fanmashui (Yalu River) and to the south of Shaoxian Mountain (Changbai Mountain), you should take it." ”

Nearly 100,000 horsemen cheered when they heard this. It is said that the earth-shattering sound stopped the flow of the horse's water. These cavalry, skilled in horsemanship and hunting, roared like wolves and rushed into Goguryeo. Under the leadership and training of the officers of Beifu, they marched in groups with more than 1,000 people, and the clouds came and the wind dispersed, not attacking the city, but plundering the place. Whether it was women or treasures, whether it was cattle and sheep or horses, they were the objects of their frenzied plunder.

In the face of Lu Zhen, Goguryeo came up with the old method, gathered troops and horses, guarded the dangerous cities, and prepared to let the Beifu army return to the division automatically after fishing for something like the previous "invaders".

But in the face of Lu Zhen's wolf pack play, Gao Zhao was blinded. There are dozens of Goguryeo cities, but there are only a dozen of them that can really make Beifu retreat by virtue of the dangerous terrain. But how many Goguryeo people can be hidden in these dozen cities? Watching the Donghu cavalry wreak havoc on the land of Goguryeo like locusts, the defenders of each city did not dare to act rashly with blood in their hearts, who knows how many Donghu cavalry there were outside the city?

Hearing that there was no sound in the room, Gao Xiannu knew that his master was exhausted and should sit there to rest. Immediately burst into tears, and silently recited: "May God bless Goguryeo." ”

At this time, Gao Xiannu saw a person walking in front of him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was the master's younger brother Gao Lifu. He was sent by Gao Zhao to surrender to Lu Zhen, and now he is back to return to his life. However, looking at the iron blue on his face, Gao Xiannu knew that the matter of begging for peace must not have been done well.

"The old slave has seen Brother Wang." Gao Xiannu saluted.

"Oh, it's the squire, I want to see the king." Gao Lifu hurriedly returned the salute, squeezed out a little smile and said. For this servant who is very trusted by Gao Zhao, the children of the royal family dare not slack off.

"Please let the old slave say goodbye." Gao Xiannu knew that Gao Lifu had a heavy responsibility and had urgent matters to report to Gao Zhao. Gao Xiannu knew the severity and hurriedly slammed the door to tell him.

Receiving Gao Zhao's weak reply, Gao Xiannu gently pushed open the door and walked in with Gao Lifu.

"Brother Wang is here." Gao Zhao sat there, his face full of pale face, unable to hide his deep exhaustion. He waved weakly and motioned for Gao Lifu to sit down. Gao Xiannu gently poured tea on the side, and then stood aside to wait. As long as Gao Zhao has a secret conversation with someone, only Gao Xiannu will be left to serve on the side.

"How?" When Gao Zhao saw his younger brother's face, he knew that things were wrong

"King Bing, I took Murong Huan's head to Wuci City to ask for a meeting with General Beihai. The General Lu received me very quickly. I humble my words and convey the meaning of the king, and I Goguryeo would like to be a vassal of Beifu forever. Pay tribute every year and surrender forever. Gao Lifu said slowly.

Then Lu Zhen smiled coldly, saying that the pseudo-main king of Yan State was the general of Yan Zhengdong, the assassin of Yingzhou, the prince of Lelang, and the king of Goguryeo, and everyone knew it. Then he also said that in order to celebrate his inauguration as an important official of the Yan Kingdom, the king specially ordered the whole country of Goguryeo to celebrate for three days. Gao Lifu said with a cold face, his tone full of indignation against Lu Zhen. Lu Zhen finally said, it seems that the king of your family is happy to accept the hypocrisy of the Yan Kingdom, and he is determined to be martyred for the Murong family. ”

"Fuck it!" Gao Zhao roared with a flushed face. He stood up. Waving his hands, he shouted loudly there: "Everyone in the world knows that the Murong family dug up my ancestral tomb in Goguryeo. Captive mother and humiliate wife. My Goguryeo and Yan can be said to be higher than the sky, and the hatred is deeper than the sea, this Beihai general actually said that I am a diehard loyalist of the Yan State! What a strong argument! How ridiculous! ”

Speaking of this, Gao Zhao seemed to remember the funniest thing in the world, and couldn't help but stand there and start laughing, and his laughter became louder and louder. In the hysterical laughter, Gao Zhao slowly burst into tears.

After a while. Gao Zhao slowly calmed down, wiped away his tears and asked slowly, "What happened in the end?" ”

"Back to the king," Gao Lifu also burst into tears just now, and now he has regained his calm. "Lu Zhen kicked me out, I knew that this matter was important, and I didn't dare to leave lightly, so I operated around Wuci City, hoping to find an opportunity to turn things around."

"I waited in Wuci City for more than ten days. It was discovered that the merchants of Beifu had set up a shop there. Began to accept the trophies of the Donghu cavalry. Speaking of this, Gao Lifu couldn't help but grit his teeth. These merchants in Beifu clearly marked the price of a Goguryeo girl between the ages of 10 and 14 or worth a cow. or worth ten sheep, or worth ten arrows made in Beifu; Fourteen to twenty-four years old Goguryeo women are worth five cows, or a horse, or a sharp blade made in Beifu, or a good bow in Beifu, and the rest are different. ”

"The most vicious thing is that the young and strong men of Goguryeo are only equal to girls, and the rest of the old and weak men and women are worthless." Gao Lifu almost gritted his teeth when he said this.

Gao Zhao was dizzy for a while, the Beifu army dealt with it like this, and the final result was that the Donghu cavalry desperately robbed Goguryeo women between the ages of ten and twenty-four, and the young and strong men were just forced to choose, because their value was only equal to that of girls, and the cost and risk of escorting them was much higher than that of girls, but if they dared to resist, the Donghu cavalry would not mind turning these "wealth" into a pile of dirt. As for the old, weak, sick and disabled Goguryeo, the Donghu cavalry was not interested in it at all, and would usually "generously" let them live after robbing them of their belongings, cattle and sheep, and setting them on fire. But how long can these people survive without food and shelter?

The heart of the high slave next to him was twitching for a while. originally thought that the Murong family was murderous enough, but now compared with the Northern Navy, the Murong family is a group of good people. Gao Xiannu also knew that since Yan became strong, Goguryeo did not dare to go west, so he had to develop and expand to the south and north, and snatch back what was lost to Yan from Baekje, Silla, Fuyu, and Lou. Especially Fuyu and Lou in the north, they are the shrimp in this big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp movement. In the decades of war, Fuyu and Lou Zhubu had a bit of old hatred and new hatred with Goguryeo, and now they have the opportunity to take revenge, can these people not work hard?

Seeing Gao Zhao signaling to him, Gao Lifu continued: "One day I met a Beihai general named He Guye, who knew that I was a Goguryeo who had come to beg for surrender, so he deliberately said to me, 'The last time the Northern Navy pacified the Khitan and captured millions of cattle, sheep and horses, it was enough to buy up the entire Goguryeo. ’”

"I went around camping, but I saw that there were more and more Donghu cavalry coming from the west, and there were tens of thousands of Goguryeo women who had been captured. However, those merchants in Beifu who had a black conscience said that most of the people in Beifu were wealthy, and now they don't mind spending a little money to buy one or two Goguryeo concubines and slaves. Therefore, the 'market' of Goguryeo women in Beifu was excellent, and in order to encourage the Donghu cavalry to plunder more people, the merchants of Beifu planned to raise the price, and the Donghu cavalry was even more excited. ”

"After waiting for more than ten days, I saw that Lu Zhen had no intention of seeing me again, so I had to ask for a command flag to come back and restore my life. After crossing the horse water, I saw that the field was full of fireworks and ruins, and the road was full of dead bodies. In the past, the prosperous and rich places have not been populated for hundreds of miles, and it is difficult to smell people's voices. Hundreds of people gathered in groups, claiming to be the remnants of the plunder, and returned to the west to beg for a living. However, the Donghu cavalry was not greedy enough and advanced to the Hunsu (present-day Daedong River), and it is said that some of the Donghu fronts had crossed the North Han Mountain (present-day north of Hanseong) and entered Baekje Silla. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Lifu fell to the ground and cried: "King, the Northern Mansion is powerful, and the soldiers are ruthless, and the king is asked to give priority to the millions of Goguryeo people and surrender the Northern Mansion." It seems that what he has seen and heard during this period has made him frightened and lost his fighting spirit.

"When it comes to this, I can't help even if I surrender. Beifu came this time to destroy my Goguryeo. Gao Zhao was silent for a long time, and finally burst into tears.
