my wife is mulan

After Yu Zhiyan was sent away, Zhao Junsheng said to the generals and officials with a serious face: "The order is passed on, all the ministries are ready to attack the city, and the logistics department is ordered to speed up. No matter how much manpower and material resources they use, in short, they must be completed within three days. Bring over the siege equipment!"

"Yes!"

Cui Hao stood up and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, although there are not many troops in Pyongyang, if the king of Goguryeo mobilizes the whole city to help defend the city, it may not be easy for our army to break through Pyongyang!"

Zhao Junsheng asked his soldiers to carry out the sand table. He stood beside the sand table pondering, and asked, "I wonder if you have any good strategies to capture Pyongyang City as soon as possible?"

No one stood up to offer advice, and it seemed that there was no other good solution other than a strong attack.

Zhao Junsheng walked around the sand table with a waist knife in his hand, stopped and asked, "Mao Xiuzhi, how many people can be recruited around here?"

Mao Xiuzhi stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Go back to your lord, I have seen the household registers of the surrounding counties and counties in the past few days. It should not be a big problem to conscript [-] people within three days!"

Zhao Junsheng immediately ordered: "Send an order to collect all the nearby people who can be confiscated, and let them carry hoes, shovels, baskets, shoulder poles and other tools to build a dam on the upper reaches of Pyongyang City for the king to intercept the Weishui and let it flow to the southeast. Great Nanjiang River! There is no water in Pyongyang, so I want to see how long they can last!"

Following Zhao Junsheng's order, the people near Pyongyang City were all conscripted. At the request of the officers and soldiers, they carried hoes, shovels, poles and baskets to the upper reaches of Pyongyang City to dig and fill rivers and build dams. Within two days , Tens of thousands of people were recruited, and for a while, a dozen miles northeast of Pyongyang was crowded with people, and the court was hot.

Thick trees were piled on the river, and all nearby boats were collected. A pontoon bridge was built within a day, and craftsmen reinforced the wooden piles on the pontoon bridge.

Then, another pontoon bridge was erected after a distance of [-] feet, and piles were also driven, with a large amount of wood as the pile foundation, and one by one was driven into the bottom of the river. The middle of the two rows of dense wooden piles was connected and reinforced, and then a large number of wooden boards were placed across the wooden piles. The outside of the pile is blocked underwater with wooden piles to cut off the water flow.

A large number of peasants came over and filled the soil between the two rows of wooden piles, using this as a frame to build a dam. As the peasants filled more and more soil within the frame, a dam piled up.

The river water was intercepted, and the water level of the river flowing to Pyongyang City quickly dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than two hours, the river bed on the river surface was exposed to the outside, and countless fish and shrimps were bouncing on the dry river bed.

"Go and pick up fish!" Zhao Junsheng gave an order, and the peasants who had finished their work threw down their hoes and shovels and ran to the river bed with baskets in their hands, picking up the lively fish and shrimps and throwing them into the baskets.

"My lord, why don't you let the soldiers go down to catch some fish and shrimp to eat, so as to improve the food!" Li Yuande asked.

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "No need, the soldiers want to maintain order, and if they want to eat fish and shrimp, just use the money to find those civilian husbands to buy it!"

The Wei River was abruptly cut off, which made the Goguryeo rulers and officials and the soldiers and civilians who were planning to defend Pyongyang City feel cold for a while. The river dried up. How to solve the draft problem?There are tens of thousands of people in the city. You can go without food for a few days without starving to death, but if you don’t drink water for a day, you may die!

In the main hall of the royal palace in the city, the faces of the Goguryeo monarchs and ministers were gloomy and gloomy.

At this time, a soldier walked in quickly and bowed down: "My lord, the Wei army outside the city did not know what to throw in a large number of dead and rotting livestock carcasses. The smell is unbearable!"

Gao Lian didn't think it was a big deal, but Xiang Jiamimeng's face changed drastically, "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good. These rotten livestock corpses will definitely bring plagues. Wei Jun wants everyone in the city to be safe." To be infected with the plague and die, the king will not be able to attack himself!"

"Ah——" the Goguryeo rulers and ministers all turned pale with fright.

Yu Zhiyan quickly said: "Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer. Surrender. The Han people say that if you leave the green hills, you will not worry about firewood. If you surrender, the Goguryeo people still have hope of restoring their country. Just perish!"

Chapter 584 Destruction of Goguryeo

Gao Lian, the king of Goguryeo, was driven to a desperate situation, and there was no way to retreat, so he defended to the death?The river is dry, there is no water in the city, and there is a great possibility of a plague outbreak; go to war?He has only 5000 men, while the Wei army has [-]. Combining infantry and cavalry, no matter how he fights, he has no chance of winning.

At this time, another soldier quickly ran in to report: "Your Majesty, the moat is also dry, and all the wells in the city are dry!"

Gao Lian was still not reconciled, gritted his teeth and refused to surrender, but Zhao Junsheng ordered to launch a siege at this time.

The defense of the city lasted only one day, and the Goguryeo defenders couldn't survive. The soldiers had no water to drink, and they were all weak. Even Gao Lian, the king of Goguryeo, couldn't survive without drinking water for half a day, let alone other people?

The next day, Gao Lian knew that he couldn't fight hard anymore. The result of doing so was that the whole city was slaughtered by the Wei army after breaking the city. If he surrendered now, although he didn't know what would happen to him, at least he could save the whole city. life.

"Go and tell Wei Jun that we surrender!" Gao Lian reluctantly gave the order to surrender.

When Wei Jun was about to attack the city, the city gate opened, and a Goguryeo envoy came out of the city gate on horseback holding a scepter.

The envoy was brought in front of Zhao Junsheng, "Your servant Yu Zhiyan pays homage to the lord!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Yu Zhiyan expressionlessly and said: "If you came to negotiate, then you can go back. This king does not accept any form of negotiation, only unconditional submission!"

Yu Zhiyan knelt on the ground respectfully: "This subject is here to tell the lord that my lord is willing to surrender, and also ask the lord to order to stop the siege of the city. As long as the lord orders to stop the soldiers from slaughtering innocent soldiers and civilians, we are willing to surrender unconditionally!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Go back and tell Gao Lian to let him take the jade seal, bring all the civil and military officials, and the whole city's soldiers and people out of the city to surrender within an hour. The king is playing tricks, and this king will let him suffer the consequences!"

"Yes, my lord!" Yu Zhiyan agreed, and was sent to the gate of the city by the soldiers.

After Yu Zhiyan brought Zhao Junsheng's words to the palace hall, the rulers and officials of Goguryeo cried bitterly while hugging their heads.

Xiangjiamimeng said to Gao Lian: "My lord, capturing the enemy's king, royal family and ministers of civil and military affairs is a great achievement for any general. I think that the king and members of the royal family should not be in any danger. They may be taken to the capital of Wei, but after a few years, the king can ask Wei Emperor to return to the country, and then the king can make a comeback, and there is hope for the revival of Goguryeo!"

What else could Gao Lian say, he could only comfort himself: "I hope so!"

An hour later, Gao Lian led members of the royal family, civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and the entire city army and civilians to open the city gate and surrender, presenting the jade seal to Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng took the jade seal from Gao Lian's hand, looked at it, handed it to the soldiers next to him, and ordered: "Come here, please go to the barracks for the king of Goguryeo, all members of the royal family and the ministers of civil and military affairs! Take away the weapons and bows of all the soldiers of the Goguryeo army. All the crossbow armors are disarmed, and all are placed in the barracks!"

A large number of Youzhou troops came forward to escort Gao Lian, members of the royal family, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to the barracks for guarding. The weapons, bows and crossbows of the Goguryeo soldiers had already been piled up like mountains on both sides of the city gate. Now they have to withdraw their armor again. Under the command and arrangement of the generals of the Youzhou army, he went to the camp to be detained.

"Chang Kun, take the former Yan army officers and men into the city to search for the criminals who are hiding, and confiscate all the weapons in the city! If you encounter resistance, shoot and kill!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The process of taking over Pyongyang went smoothly without any acts of resistance.

Then Zhao Junsheng sent five hundred soldiers to escort Gao Lian, members of the royal family, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to Youzhou, and sent troops to take over other Goguryeo cities, occupying the entire Goguryeo city in just five days.

Zhao Junsheng didn't enter Pyongyang City until the Youzhou Army occupied the whole territory of Goguryeo, and came to the palace of King Goguryeo.

"This is the palace of King Goguryeo?" Zhao Junsheng was a little dumbfounded looking at the mansion in front of him, which could only be regarded as the residence of a wealthy family in the Central Plains.

"Exactly!" Chang Kun replied.

Zhao Junsheng muttered to himself: "I should say that the king of Goguryeo was frugal by nature and didn't like extravagance, or the people of Goguryeo were too small and their vision was too low?"

Chang Kun clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, it is said that the founders of Goguryeo were Fuyu people, who were uncivilized barbarians. Although they have a history of hundreds of miles, they are not as prosperous as the Central Plains culture. Many etiquettes are also influenced by the Central Plains culture. , still can’t build a palace as magnificent and majestic as the Central Plains Dynasty!”

Zhao Junsheng walked up the steps and walked into the main hall. Facing the gate was a screen embroidered with flowers, birds and trees. Under the screen was the royal case of King Goguryeo, with more than a dozen cushions on both sides.

He went to the imperial case and sat on his knees, "It's not very comfortable to sit in this position. Chang Kun, try it too!"

Chang Kun quickly waved his hand: "My lord, stop joking, the last general dare not!"

Pingcheng.

The atmosphere in the city became increasingly tense, and terror shrouded everyone in the city. Zong Ai engaged in informant activities. Whether it was the court or the people, he encouraged people to inform each other. Heren, as long as the whistleblowing is true, the whistleblower will be rewarded, and the whistleblower will definitely not end well.

In such a terrifying political environment, some opportunists specialize in spying on other people's private affairs, and then inform the court to gain money and promotion. They are echoers, and on the street, even if they are as close as father and son, husband and wife, brothers, sisters, master and apprentice, they dare not say hello casually when they meet.

That night, Yuan He returned home on duty, took a shower full of exhaustion, changed into clean regular clothes, saw his wife Qi Fushi come out, and asked, "Where's Yan'er?"
