Chapter 571 Destruction of Yan Kingdom

Zong Ai ignored the official's suggestion. After two days of consideration, he issued an imperial edict in the name of the emperor and appointed Hua Mulan an official position. ---- Fast update, no anti-theft ---

But she said that Hua Mulan had waited for two days and there was no news of her appointment to an official position by the court, so she asked Li Bao, Fan Daniu and others to pack their bags and prepare to return to Youzhou.

Before the luggage was packed, the eunuch who read out the decree brought the edict to the posthouse.

"General Hua, His Majesty the Emperor appoints a general to serve as a high official in the foreign capital! The people who take up this position are usually clan kings, ministers of foreign relatives, or Hu Han officials. His Majesty the Emperor treats the general with special favor. The general accepts the order! The eunuch smiled and handed the edict to Hua Mulan.

Hua Mulan was not happy at all. Although this high-ranking official in the foreign capital is powerful, he is not a court minister with high prestige. He is not stable at all, just because this position has to hear criminals, prisons and civil lawsuits of Xianbei people with foreign surnames. The lawsuits that can go far and sit in front of high officials are not small lawsuits. If they are not handled well, they may offend a family of Xianbei people.

After dismissing Xuanzhi's eunuch, Hua Mulan went to the desk with a sad face, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to Zhao Junsheng. She can do well if she is asked to lead troops to fight, but she really can't do it if she is asked to try cases.

Hua Mulan wrote all her troubles in a letter and asked them to send it back to Youzhou as quickly as possible through a secret channel.

Only six days later, Hua Mulan received a reply from Zhao Junsheng.

In his reply, Zhao Junsheng first expressed his heartfelt heart, and then introduced that after Hua Mulan left, the imperial court sent Jia Zhou as a military supervisor to prepare him to attack Yan. Finally, he suggested that if Hua Mulan did not understand the matter of torture Just ask your subordinates more, those people have been officials for many years, and they must have rich experience. He thinks that it is best for Hua Mulan to adopt a strategy of doing nothing and try not to offend others, because she is weak in the court. There is no one to intercede, and if there are too many people offended, it will easily lead to a group of attacks, so she just needs to try the case clearly, and as for how to judge, it will be reported to the emperor, and the emperor will decide.

Hua Mulan thought for a long time after reading Zhao Junsheng's reply, and still felt that what Zhao Junsheng said made sense, and since she came to the capital this time, she found that Zong Ai was trying to eradicate dissidents, and she was even more vicious than before.

Government yamen, large and small, in the capital often receive instructions from Zong Ai to charge certain officials and ministers with crimes, and then arrest them, ransack their homes and exterminate their clans. It's already a panic.

The ministers of the imperial court have also changed batch after batch. Once someone falls, Zong Ai will immediately replace him with a new person. Until now, half of the court ministers have been placed by Zong Ai. This situation makes Hua Mulan I just feel terrified.

Under such circumstances, Hua Mulan believed that Zhao Junsheng's suggestion was correct. She would either sit in the high official's office without going out for three days or two, or leave as soon as she went, and just leave the official affairs to the subordinate officials. Seeing that she, the chief official, the subordinate officials didn't care about anything, they didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, and many lawsuits were delayed again and again.

Some cases could not be delayed any longer, so Hua Mulan asked the subordinate officials to clarify the matter, and then wrote a memorial to the emperor for adjudication. Zong Ai was very happy about this, because it was equivalent to obtaining judicial power.

Not to mention the terrified situation in the Pingcheng court, Zhao Junsheng was busy preparing for the expedition in Youzhou. After about 20 days, all the preparations were ready, and he didn't delay any longer. Since he decided to fight, he had to fight hard and strive for this Take Yan Guo at one time.

On March [-]th, five thousand troops transferred from Fanyang arrived in Ji County.

In the spring of 5000 AD, on March [-]th, Zhao Junsheng led an army of [-] people from Jixian County, and joined [-] troops from Yuyang County in Luxian County.

Head east together.

Along the way, they passed through cities such as Wuzhong and Guzhu, and arrived at Jieshishan Walled City in nine days. This time, there were nearly [-] infantry soldiers in the [-]-strong army. The daily marching speed is less than eighty miles, and they still eat dry food along the way, which saves a lot of time. If they light a fire and cook every time, the marching speed will only be slower.

The Jieshi Mountain Pass has already been built, and it is majestic. Zhao Junsheng ordered the army to rest here for two days. The soldiers of the whole army can finally eat fresh and delicious hot meals, and there was thunderous cheers for a while.

Standing on the pass city tower and looking northeastward, there are endless mountains on the left and the vast sea on the right. See, there are mountains on the left and the sea on the right, and this pass is majestic and majestic, so it should be named Shanhaiguan!"

Dongfang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "The name of Shanhaiguan is well deserved!"

The school officials all agreed with the name, but Jia Zhou had a gloomy face and dismissed it, but he was also impressed by the aura displayed by this majestic pass.

After only two days of rest, the army continued to move forward. Zhao Junsheng was worried that the rainy season would make the Binhai Road muddy, so he ordered the army to speed up the march, marching more than [-] miles a day, in order to make up for the physical strength caused by the accelerated march of the soldiers. In case of loss, Zhao Junsheng asked the soldiers to eat three meals each time, one in the morning, one in the middle of the night, and one in the evening.

Although the military rations are convenient to eat, they always taste the same. After eating for a long time, they feel sick when they see the military rations, but they are hungry if they don’t eat them. In order to replenish their strength, the soldiers can only hold their noses and chew the dry rations into pieces and swallow them in their stomachs. Eat a mouthful of dry food and drink a mouthful of water.

Just when the Youzhou Army passed Shanhaiguan Pass and entered Liaoxi County under the leadership of Zhao Junsheng, Feng Hong in Longcheng panicked when he heard the news. Not sure yet, now that Wei Jun has passed Shanhaiguan, he is really scared now, and he called the ministers to discuss again.

The main hall of the Dragon City Palace.

Feng Hong said to the ministers anxiously: "A messenger from Liaoxi County just now reported that General Wei Guo Zhengdong, the governor of Youliao military forces, and Youzhou governor Zhao Junsheng led an army of [-] across Jieshi Mountain and entered Liaoxi County. Is good?"

The Shangshu ordered Guo Sheng to stand up and say: "Heavenly King, the emperor of Wei State is now young, and the eunuchs are in charge of the government. The government is in dire straits. Their own people are panic-stricken, and they even think about sending troops to attack our country. They are seeking their own death. Minister Please send troops to meet the Wei army!"

Shangshu Guo Yuan stood up to express his objection, and said sarcastically, "Shangshu Ling, could it be that he forgot how he was defeated by Zhao Junsheng two years ago?"

"You..." Guo was so angry that his white beard stood on end. He was most annoyed when others mentioned this humiliating fiasco.

Guo Yuan ignored Guo Sheng who was blowing his beard and staring in anger. Although both of them were surnamed Guo, they were not relatives, and they couldn't even fight each other. The combined strength of our country of Yan is less than [-], so how can we be his opponent? It is better to send someone to surrender to the state of Wei and ask the emperor to marry the princess to the emperor of Wei. Zuo!"

Hearing this, Feng Hong was very angry: "Guo Yuan, are you out of your mind? The emperor of Wei is only five years old, and the princess is 16 years old. You want me to marry the princess to a five-year-old brat? Now that the rift between the two countries has already deepened, surrendering can only lead to self-destruction, it is better to stick to the city and wait for the situation to change!"

Liu Xun, the regular attendant of Sanqi stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the state of Wei is powerful. Our state of Yan is weak and lacks major generals. Now that the Youzhou army is coming to attack with [-] troops, how can our state of Yan stop it? I also suggest sending people Ask Wei Guo to surrender and surrender, and you can send Prince Ren to Pingcheng, the capital of Wei Guo, as a hostage, so that the king of heaven can protect the throne, and Yan can also protect the country!"

Feng Hong was furious, and immediately ordered: "You bastard! Even if my Yan army can't defeat Wei army, I can ask Goguryeo to send someone to pick me up and take shelter. Come, drag this nonsense out and behead him!"

A soldier from outside the hall rushed in and dragged Liu Xun away, and after a while, a soldier came to pay the order with Liu Xun's head.

"Anyone who persuades him to surrender again will end up like this person and retreat!" Feng Hong yelled murderously and left, leaving only a group of trembling officials.

Within two days, another messenger came to report that Feng Hong's eldest son, Feng Chong, who guarded Liaoxi County, and Feng Chong's younger brothers, Feng Lang and Feng Miao, led the army and the people to surrender to the Wei army.

After Feng Hong heard the news, he vomited blood for three liters and passed out from anger. The first thing he did when he woke up was to call Feng Chong, Feng Lang, and Feng Miao, the three brothers, beasts for betraying their father and seeking refuge in the enemy country.

In fact, Feng Chong, Feng Lang, and Feng Miao were also forced to do nothing. On the one hand, Wei’s army was powerful, sharp and unstoppable; Choose to surrender to the Wei army.

This time Taichang Yangmin also persuaded Feng Hong to surrender, because the current situation of Yan State could not stop Wei Jun's attack at all, Feng Hong refused to listen, and secretly sent someone to contact Goguryeo King Gao Lian, requesting acceptance and sending troops to respond.

Gao Lian, the king of Goguryeo, saw Feng Hong's envoy and thought it was a good opportunity to invade Beiyan's territory, so he sent general Ge Lu to lead [-] troops to Beiyan to meet Feng Hong.

Zhao Junsheng's attack was not fast, and he appeared to be in a steady state. Although it took a little longer, he was not eager for quick success and quick benefits.

At the beginning of May, Zhao Junsheng led an army to attack Yihe.

At this moment, three thousand soldiers and horses sent by Goguryeo King Gao Lian came to Longcheng. Feng Hong was overjoyed when he saw the Goguryeo soldiers and horses arriving, and immediately sent ministers out of the city to greet them.

Goguryeo was a barbarian. After Gelu led his troops into Longcheng, he went directly to the arsenal and asked his soldiers to take off the tattered coarse clothes and leather armor and put on the fine armor in the Yan arsenal. Feng Hong learned that Not only did he not blame Ge Lu, but he also exaggerated that the Goguryeo soldiers would be mighty and majestic after putting on their fine armor. Ge Lu was quite proud of this.

On the Yimao day of the fifth month, Feng Hong, the heavenly king of the Yan Kingdom, took his children, inner palace, clan, and people of Longcheng, and withdrew from the capital city of Longcheng with the Goguryeo reinforcements. Before leaving, he burned his palaces and cities. .

After Zhao Junsheng got the report, he immediately led his army across the lower reaches of the Yushui River in pursuit, but in the end it was a step too late. When they reached the border of the Daliao River, the Goguryeo army had already escorted Feng Hong and his party across the Daliao River and marched away.

Chapter 572

On the west bank of the Daliao River, Xiandu County.

This place originally belonged to Liaodong County. The origin of the name of Xiandu County is that it is dangerous by the water, and the other side of the Daliao River is the territory of Goguryeo.

During the Houyan period, Goguryeo took advantage of the war between Houyan and the Central Plains to seize Liaodong County, which originally belonged to the backyard, with the Daliao River as the boundary.

The current king of Goguryeo is Gao Lian. He is called the Longevity King in the history books. He was born in 394 AD and died in 491 AD. He lived for nearly a hundred years.

Chang Kun walked quickly into the county government hall with a waist knife in his hand and clasped his fists to Zhao Junsheng who was sitting in the hall: "General, the Goguryeo army destroyed all the ships and bridges along the river after crossing the river. If people rebuild bridges or build boats, they will not be able to cross the river in less than ten and a half months!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at Jia Zhou and said, "Grandpa Jia, this general was ordered to conquer Yan, and Feng Hong, the heavenly king of Yan, was kidnapped by the Goguryeo army. The generals, governors of Youliao and other military forces must maintain the authority of the Great Wei. I intend to send envoys to Pyongyang, the new capital of Goguryeo, to meet the King of Longevity in Goguryeo, and ask him to hand over Feng Hong, his accompanying children, and the inner palace to my Great Wei. I don’t know. What do you think?"

Jia Zhou was a little hesitant. His task was to urge Zhao Junsheng to lead the army to attack the country of Yan. If he provoked Goguryeo at this time, it might cause trouble. However, after the destruction of the country of Yan, Feng Hong was not caught, but it was not considered as completing the task, let alone It was alive, even if he got Feng Hong's body, he would be able to do business with Zong Ai.

However, the most important thing is to occupy the entire territory of Yan State, and capturing Feng Hong is secondary.Thinking of this, Jia Zhou said to Zhao Junsheng: "We can take a long-term view on Feng Hong's matter. Capturing the entire territory of Yan State is the main task of this expedition. Our family thinks that the general should distinguish between priorities. At this time, it is time to send troops north to capture Long The city is for it!"

Although Feng Hong escaped and took away all the young men and women in Longcheng, most of the soldiers, horses, old, weak, sick and disabled stationed in Longcheng are still there. Now the main general guarding Longcheng is Yan Guo Shangshuling Guo Sheng , this is also the news sent back by the scouts after investigation.
