At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 480: Conquering the King of Goguryeo
Only Gaoyun City was still struggling to hold on, and the speed of conquering cities and seizing territories could be described as crushing with ease.

In particular, Huluxu's 50,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry ran rampant in the heartland of Goguryeo. The Liao River made it difficult for Goguryeo to take care of both ends.

"Mr. Jia, do you think we should accept the surrender?"

After reading the letter of surrender, Miaoyu threw the question to Guo Tu and asked the chief clerk of the Military Affairs Department to make the decision.

"I think it's okay."

Guo Tu pondered for a moment and said leisurely: "After accepting the surrender, the name of Goguryeo will be abolished and it will be incorporated into Liaodong County and stationed with a large army. The King of Goguryeo will be demoted to a noble and be under the command of the King of Xiliang."

The people of Goguryeo number in the millions, and the land in Liaodong is still arable. When the time comes, we can move some military households and artisan households from the north to Liaodong, and use their millions of laborers to build warships and train the navy. "

"Row."

After a little thought, Miaoyu agreed to Guo Tu's suggestion, took out the seal of the King of Xiliang, and stamped it on the letter of surrender.

It means that the Xiliang Palace accepted Goguryeo's surrender.

"Mr. Guo, please compile the plan you just mentioned into a table so that I can sign it and send it to Liaodong, in the name of the Xiliang Palace, along with the letter of surrender, to General Jiaxiong. He will then be able to make arrangements."

"it is good."

Guo Tu ordered the servants in the mansion to bring writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, and immediately wrote down all the matters including the establishment of Liaodong County, the abolition of the Goguryeo name, and how to settle the King of Goguryeo.

Two days later.

Jiaxiong received the memorial. At this time, Gaoyun City was about to be breached. The city gate had been knocked open by a battering ram, and even a huge gap appeared in the city wall.

Most of the Goguryeo soldiers defending the city were killed or wounded.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army were like a surging tide, tearing through the defense line of the Goguryeo soldiers and rushing into Gaoyun City.

Just as the city was about to be massacred, Jiaxiong's personal guards galloped into Gaoyun City, summoned their inner strength, and shouted: "Your Highness, the King of Xiliang, has accepted the King of Goguryeo's request for surrender. All Goguryeo soldiers, lay down your weapons and you can live. If you don't surrender, you will be executed on the spot."

When the Goguryeo soldiers who were preparing for a desperate fight heard this, they burst into tears. Without any hesitation, they threw away their swords, took off their armor, raised their hands above their heads, and knelt on the ground.

The previous resistance was because the Xiliang army left them no chance to survive, so they had to fight. Now that there is a chance to survive, who would choose to die if they could live?

"I surrender."

A Goguryeo soldier raised his sword above his head with both hands, and the Xiliang sword in the hands of the Xiliang army on the opposite side was just a hair's breadth away from chopping off the Goguryeo soldier's head.

Massacre.

For the Xiliang Army, this kind of thing was rarely done, including this massacre, which was only because they wanted to destroy the manpower of Goguryeo.

Rather than to steal property or vent anger.

Military orders are as heavy as a mountain, and have long been deeply engraved in the bones of every soldier. Orders must be obeyed and those who disobey them will be executed.

"Good luck."

The Xiliang army put away their swords and grinned.

"Your Majesty, great joy!"

In the palace, upon learning that the city had been broken, the King of Goguryeo, who was about to flee, was grabbed by his close ministers who broke in.

"No need to run away."

"My dear, please speak."

The King of Goguryeo stopped.

"The letter of surrender has been delivered. The King of Xiliang has accepted our surrender."

"After the Xiliang army entered the city, they did not massacre us, but instead confiscated our weapons. Currently, our soldiers are all gathered in the inner city."

"The Xiliang Grand Marshal is coming to the palace."

"Someone is coming."

Goguryeo was overjoyed and said, "Change the king's court robes."

"Prepare a banquet to welcome the Xiliang Army Marshal."

So, when Jiaxiong stepped into the palace, he saw an extremely absurd scene: the King of Goguryeo was wearing gorgeous official robes, standing in front of the palace gate, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs.

They all lowered their heads and trembled all over.

The overwhelming smell of blood frightened the King of Goguryeo. He forced a bright smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty, respectfully welcome the Grand Marshal of the King of Xiliang."

"Are you the King of Goguryeo?" Jiaxiong looked at him twice with indifferent eyes.

"It's Xiao Wang."

Goguryeo was extremely terrified.

"His Royal Highness the King of Xiliang has accepted your surrender."

Jia Xiong said calmly: "From now on, there will be no Goguryeo in this world. Liaodong County will be established here and belong to Xiliang. Your kingship will be revoked and you will be granted the title of Gaoyun Gong with a fief of 8,000 households."

"Just be a peaceful minister in the future."

Goguryeo's face turned pale.

The country's name and the title of king were both stripped away, and he was demoted to Duke Gaoyun and taken under the control of the Xiliang Palace.

But does he have any choice?
Goguryeo asked itself.

I have no choice.

If you don't agree, you will die.

"I accept your order."

"Thank you, King Xiliang, for your kindness."

He knelt down, raised his hands above his head, and said gratefully: "In the future, I will serve His Royal Highness the King of Xiliang with my whole heart and soul, even at the cost of my own life."

“How are the boats at the docks being preserved?”

Kazuo asked.

"Reporting to the Marshal, there are a total of fifty warships, all of which are intact."

Gao Yungong asked hurriedly.

"very good."

Jiaxiong showed a look of satisfaction and ordered the guards to take people to take over the dock and the warship.

"Although His Highness has taken away your title, he will retain all the treatment you receive as a king."

Jia Xiong patted Gao Yungong on the shoulder and said, "To govern the people of Liaodong County, I still need your help."

"Don't worry, Marshal."

Lord Gao Yun nodded repeatedly, "I will definitely do what the King of Xiliang ordered."

Scared.

Lord Gao Yun was truly terrified of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. It was the first time he had seen such ferocious cavalry.

compare to.

The Central Plains imperial army stationed in western Liaoning was nothing.

Those 100,000 elite soldiers were known as the best armored men in the world, and they had fought against Goguryeo quite a few times over the years.

But none of them gained much advantage.

Therefore, Gao Yungong, the former King of Goguryeo, did not look down on the Central Plains court from the bottom of his heart.

Dominating the world is just like this.

Although the Western Liang Iron Cavalry dared to attack unexpectedly this time, whether it was the capture of Liaodong City, Ju'an City or Suiping City, they all broke through the city by force, and it took a very short time, only a few days.

From this we can see the ferocity of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, their strict discipline and fearlessness in charging into battle without any retreat.

In comparison, the Central Plains army in western Liaoning is indeed not that good.

Little did people know that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, since its establishment, has been wading through rivers of blood and crossing mountains of corpses to reach its present state.

Were the mixed tribes on the grasslands not fierce? Were the cavalry of the Northern Wei not brutal?

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry dared to charge head-on into these fierce cavalrymen with their small and inferior forces, and tore them apart, and it happened more than once.

Now the Zahu tribes have surrendered to Xiliang, and the Northern Wei has been directly destroyed by the Xiliang army. The people besieged in the imperial city are eating each other, with no way to go to heaven or to hell.

What’s more, Goguryeo is just a tiny country.
