Chapter 664 National Destruction (Second Change)

On the third day of the Pyongyang siege, Daesongsan City was bathed in the morning light.

The blood and fire of last night have subsided, and now it has returned to tranquility.

On the south gate of Dacheng Mountain City, the Zhao character battle flag was flying, and thousands of Zhao soldiers stood in front of the city gate.The armor on the soldiers was bright and serious, and the red tassels on the helmets swayed with the majesty.

At this time, an ox cart with green tents hanging on all sides came out of the gate of Dacheng Mountain City.There was a charioteer driving the carriage on the carriage, and the green tent blocked his eyes, but he could see that there was a person sitting in the green tent.

The wheels of the cart rolled slowly, and the hooves of the bullocks were kicking. Behind the bullock cart, hundreds of Goguryeo officials and noble ladies walked out slowly with their hands bound.They walked very busy, with fear and anxiety in their eyes, but they had to face the soldiers of Zhao Jun who were in front of them with a strict military appearance and armed with knives, guns and sticks.

The ox cart stopped in front of an arched gate, and the green tent was raised. King Gao Jianwu of Goguryeo, dressed in white with a printed ribbon around his neck, stepped out of the ox cart and got off the ox cart with the support of the driver.When getting out of the car, Gao Jianwu's legs trembled slightly, and his lips moved slightly. After looking at the arch, the tall man on the horse in front of him knelt down on the ground with a plop.

Gao Jianwu said: "The sinner Gao Jianwu kowtowed to His Majesty Emperor Zhao. I know that I offended Zhao Ting Tianwei. The crime is unforgivable. I am willing to die, but the people and officials are innocent. Please let your Majesty let them live. I am very grateful." .”

Gao Jianwu trembled slightly as he spoke, and Li Chongjiu, who was sitting on the horse, heard it and immediately jumped off the horse's head.Wearing a military uniform and a golden helmet, Li Chongjiu walked up to Gao Jianwu and said: "King Goguryeo, the discord between the two countries is seen in swords and soldiers, and blood flows into rivers. This is a scene that no one wants to see. I am not He is a man of martial arts, but he will not sit back and watch the people suffer. When things have come to this point, as the ruler of Goguryeo, you really cannot escape the blame."

Gao Tao continued to translate Li Chongjiu's words into Goguryeo and told everyone present.

Hearing Li Chongjiu's reprimand, Gao Jianwu couldn't help trembling, and Gao Tao said something, and he answered 'yes'.After hearing that Li Chongjiu blamed him later, Gao Jianwu panicked even more.

Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu said: "However, since you have already surrendered, I will spare your life and invite you to Youjing to stay for a while. How about letting you go back to your homeland after three or five years? "

After hearing this, Gao Jianwu said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your hospitality, but the distance to Youjing is too far, and I am afraid that the water and soil will not be acclimatized, so I beg Your Majesty to let me guard this country. I am willing to pay tribute and honor Your Majesty every year."

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu straightened his face and said: "Back then, your elder brother proclaimed himself a minister to the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and he described himself as a minister of dung soil in Liaodong. All things, I don’t want to be arrogant, I don’t want you to be a vassal of Goguryeo, but I just let you go to Youjing to gain Mu Hande, and you can teach the people when you return to the country. Let the two countries be safe from now on. What are you unwilling to do? Yes, let me live up to my good intentions."

After hearing this, Gao Jianwu said hastily: "I really dare not disappoint His Majesty Emperor Zhao, but I really don't want to go to Youjing, so please think twice."

Li Chongjiu said solemnly: "You are toasting and not eating fine wine, but now you can't help yourself to make up your own mind. Someone will take the King of Goguryeo for me and take him back to Youjing."

Gao Jianwu's face turned pale immediately, and a Goguryeo official who knew Chinese at the side said on the spot: "Your Majesty Zhao, my lord has surrendered. As the emperor, you should be magnanimous. Even if my lord is captured, won't I, Goguryeo, surrender again?" Choose a king? On the contrary, King Zhao has sowed hatred and has been an enemy of Goguryeo for generations, and he will never stop fighting."

Li Chongjiu looked at the Goguryeo official and said: "The idea of ​​generosity is a joke. When the Goguryeo people slaughtered my 30 Sui soldiers, did you understand what tolerance is? How dare you threaten me with generations of enemies? That's the case." You Goguryeo have no generations, and I want you to be the last generation, come here, first catch this person and cut him off!"

After Li Chongjiu finished speaking, soldiers of the Zhao army rushed in like wolves and tigers, and took out the Goguryeo official. The royal women and children couldn't help screaming when they saw it.However, Li Chongjiu didn't even frown, and the two soldiers immediately took out the Goguryeo official and knocked over the hat on his head.

This Goguryeo official was also stubborn, although his hair was disheveled, he still said: "Emperor Zhao, so what if you kill me, I can't kill all the Goguryeo people."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jun's soldiers grabbed his hair and chopped it off.Blood spattered, and a bloody human head was picked up with one hand.

"Which one of you has any objections? Stand up."

There was a commotion among the officials of Goguryeo, and then a dozen people stood up again, and Li Chongjiu waved his hand.

Zhao Jun rushed into the crowd like a wolf and tiger, and grabbed these people out.

Dangdang!Immediately, a few more heads fell to the ground.

Under the brutality, the remaining Goguryeo people did not dare to speak, women and children hugged each other and cried uncontrollably.Li Chongjiu immediately said: "These dead people are also Goguryeo's loyal ministers, and their corpses are well contained. I am not a person who is easy to kill, but don't challenge my bottom line. As for the others, they will all be escorted back to Youjing. "

As soon as the words fell, Zhao soldiers on both sides rushed forward, each serving one, and took down all the Goguryeo men, women, old and children present.The sound of crying and shouting was endless.Several Goguryeo people sang a sad song, looking up to the sky and mourning. Even the soldiers of the Zhao army beside them couldn't help feeling the melancholy and sad tune.

"Tune of subjugation!" Xue Wanche couldn't help scolding.

When King Rongliu was captured and transported back to Pyongyang in a prison cart, the people of Goguryeo were all in disbelief.There was another commotion in the city, which was finally suppressed by Zhao Jun.

To the north of the Weishui River, Ulji Mundeok led the remnant Goguryeo army to build twelve camps here.

At this moment, Ulji Wende is sitting in the tent. On the one hand, he tidied up the remnants of the army and regrouped the soldiers to restore their fighting power.

Thanks to the efforts of Eulji Mundeok, the Goguryeo army north of the Huishui finally gained a firm foothold from the defeat.

Now Ulchi Mundeok is discussing the matter of gathering the people of various cities and organizing a rebel army to fight against the Zhao army. At this time, the news of the attack on Dacheng Mountain City has spread to the Goguryeo camp.

Hearing this news, the faces of the Goguryeo officials present all changed.Dacheng Mountain City was destroyed, and Goguryeo King Rongliu was captured.

Elderly Ulji Wende, when he heard the news, his throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the table.

"Great to Lu!"

"Great to Lu! You can't do anything!"

"Now that the king is being captured by Zhao Jun, I in Goguryeo still count on you to come."

Everyone invited a doctor to come to treat him, but Ulchi Wende passed out and his personnel were unknown.
