The most arrogant in history

An hour later, three hundred cannons were ready.

The gunners looked at the terrain and began to adjust the firing angle and calculate the direction.

Ye Kun passed down the order: "Fire the cannons, fire one round first and see the effect."

Boom, boom, boom, boom——!

Three hundred steel cannons roared together, and the shells whizzed out, crossed the river, and exploded on the defense line on the opposite bank.

Some shells flew three or four kilometers away and exploded in the mountains opposite.

Xiahou Jun was frightened by the roar and explosion of the steel cannon and subconsciously covered his ears.

Ye Kun pointed at Xiahou Jun and said, "Don't cover your ears. Put your hands down."

Xiahou Jun blushed and let go of his ear.

The situation on the other side was quite lively. The soldiers hiding in the front line were howling and fleeing in all directions.

Huang Jian waved his hand, and led the warriors to jump onto the big boat, holding their guns, and rushed to the other side of the river.

After an afternoon of fighting, the Feiliushui line was successfully captured.

After dark, Ye Kun had led his troops across the Boiling Water and set up camp.

Xiahou Jun bowed to the ground in admiration: "Your Majesty is mighty, and your new guns and cannons are invincible. Ahead is Marudu Mountain, where the capital of Goguryeo is located. Goguryeo's 'King Weigong' has 30,000 elite troops under his command, all stationed at Marudu Mountain..."

"Very good. Let the soldiers rest here and attack Marudou Mountain tomorrow morning."

Ye Kun nodded and said, "Tell your brothers that we will still use guns and cannons to lead the way tomorrow. We can easily take down Marudu Mountain. There is no need to feel pressured. I have brought a lot of guns and ammunition this time, which is enough to wipe out Goguryeo."

In fact, the number of shells and bullets Ye Kun brought was not too many.

But Ye Kun believed that Goguryeo could not resist to the end.

Xiahou Jie and Xiahou Zhu, who were accompanying the army to take care of Ye Kun, came forward to offer their advice:

"Your Majesty, Goguryeo is a barbarian country, and the people are not yet enlightened. Can we create some strange phenomena to scare these barbarians?"

Ye Kun was somewhat interested and said with a smile: "Concubine Jie and Zhu'er, tell us how to create a vision."

Xiahou Zhu said: "We have searchlights, which can be set up high and fired at Marudu Mountain. We also have a radio, and we can also shout in the direction of Marudu Mountain... The barbarians have never seen searchlights and radios, so they must be afraid. This is a psychological attack."

"good idea."

Ye Kun laughed and ordered Huang Jian: "Set up the searchlight at a high place and shine it towards Marudu Mountain. Aim the radio in the direction of Marudu Mountain and find a few loud voices to shout at Marudu Mountain. Oh, and we also have flares and signal flares, which can also be fired at Marudu Mountain."

Huang Jian took the order and went to make arrangements.

Ye Kun accompanied Concubine Jie and Zhu'er in the big tent, looking at maps and chatting.

Xiahou Zhu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it seems like you are having an easy time leading the army in person this time."

"Zhu'er, I'm bringing you here for a trip."

Ye Kun held Xiahou Zhu's hand and said with a smile: "Defeating a bunch of barbarians is just like strolling in the garden, just like having fun. You don't have to be nervous, just enjoy the fun of traveling. Now I have time to accompany you. Once we return to the capital, I won't be able to accompany you every day."

Xia Houjie smiled and said, "As long as the emperor doesn't mind, Zhu'er will be very satisfied."

It was warm as spring in the big tent.

However, on Mount Marundu, the princes, ministers, soldiers and civilians of Goguryeo were all terrified.

They saw several huge eyes, emitting dazzling light and scanning back and forth.

Then a sound like thunder was heard, echoing in the sky, ordering Goguryeo to surrender.

Are there still meteors streaking across the sky, as if the sky is collapsing and the earth is breaking apart?

The King of Goguryeo was terrified and summoned all the ministers at night, saying worriedly:

"Ye Kun, the great Han emperor of China, personally led an army of 100,000 to conquer Feiliushui, and now he has besieged our Wandu Mountain. What should we do?"

The national teacher of Goguryeo, who was originally a Han Chinese and also a descendant of the Gongsun lineage, was called Gongsun Qishu. He said:

"Your Majesty is right. We have been fighting the Chinese army for several months and our national strength has been exhausted. Now we have no reinforcements from outside and no food from inside. I am afraid that we cannot hold Wandu Mountain for long.

Moreover, this time, Ye Kun brought new guns and cannons with great power, which can kill people from ten miles away. There is also Huang Fulin's navy on the seashore, rushing in all directions. We are already surrounded by enemies and have nowhere to go. Now we can either surrender to Ye Kun or fight to the death and perish together. "

The King of Goguryeo sighed and asked everyone, "Should we fight or surrender? Everyone, tell us what you think."

No one dared to fight anymore and suggested surrendering.

The King of Goguryeo was still unwilling to give up, and said to Gongsun Qishu: "The Imperial Master will go to see Ye Kun tomorrow and talk to him. If we surrender, how will he treat us?"

"I obey your command." Gongsun Qishu clasped his fists and accepted the order.

The next morning, Ye Kun had just gotten up and was preparing to hold a combat meeting.

Xiahou Jun came to report: "Your Majesty, someone has come from Wandu Mountain. It is the national teacher of Goguryeo, Gongsun Qishu."

Ye Kun asked: "Why is he here, to surrender?"

"Should be waiting outside the camp gate now."

"pass."

Ye Kun nodded and came to the central military tent.

Gongsun Qishu walked over quickly, bowed before Ye Kun without kneeling, and said, "The special envoy of the King of Goguryeo, the national teacher of Goguryeo, Gongsun Qishu, pays homage to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty of China."

Xiahou Jun said angrily: "How can you not kneel when meeting the emperor?"

"This is the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, not the Emperor of Goguryeo. I don't need to kneel."

Gongsun Qishu stood proudly, squinting his eyes and said, "And I heard that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty has abolished the kneeling ceremony, so I don't need to kneel."

Ye Kun nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Gongsun is quite good at talking. Yes, I abolished the kneeling ceremony in Huaxia, but I did not abolish the kneeling ceremony in the vassal states."

Gongsun Qishu said calmly: "But my Goguryeo is not a vassal state of China."

"Who said it wasn't? Could it be that the four counties of Emperor Wu were fake?"

"That was Emperor Wu's invasion of our Goguryeo. It was an unjust war and we do not recognize it."

"Very good." Ye Kun nodded and smiled:

"It seems that Mr. Gongsun came here to declare war on me. If that's the case, why should we say more? Xiahou Jun and Huang Jian, listen to my order and prepare for battle. We will destroy Wandu Mountain and leave no one alive!"

"Wait a minute!"

Gongsun Qishu shouted and glared, "Excuse me, Emperor of the Han Dynasty, on what basis do you attack Goguryeo? Just because you have strong ships and powerful guns, and a million-strong army? In the past, the King of Chu conquered everywhere, claiming that the barbarians were unreasonable. Could it be that you, the great Han Chinese, are also unreasonable barbarians?"

Ye Kun was prepared and threw a bill from the table:

"This is the evidence of Goguryeo's harassment of China over the past 100 years. Ten years ago, you raided Liaodong, killed more than 30,000 Chinese people, and abducted 7,000 women. Six years ago, you gathered an army of 50,000 and looted six of our cities. Wherever you went, you burned it to the ground... There are countless crimes. Now that China is unified, how can I allow you to cause trouble on my border?"

Gongsun Qishu looked at the account book and finally sighed:

"Please calm down, Emperor Han. We are willing to submit to the Chinese nation and pay tribute every year..."

"I don't want your tribute, and I will never allow you to continue to cede land and claim the throne."

Ye Kun shook his head: "There is no room for bargaining here. Tell your dog emperor that he must surrender the whole country and obey my arrangements. I can guarantee that the King of Goguryeo will be rich and prosperous for life. Otherwise, I will plow the house and sweep the hole, leaving no one alive!"
