Chapter 1287 Destruction of Goryeo

"I am Goryeo General Lu Zhizheng!"

Lu Zhizheng and his men shouted loudly outside the ruins of Kaijing City.

"Get off your horse if you surrender!"

Hundreds of Qi soldiers lined up and directly surrounded Lu Zhizheng, and shouted fiercely.

"I am a messenger!"

Lu Zhizheng held up the banner representing the messenger and shouted.

"Get off! Otherwise, die!"

The soldiers didn't care who the messenger was, they immediately took a posture of charging to kill and continued shouting.

"You are still being unreasonable!"

Lu Zhizheng didn't expect these people to be so barbaric, and he was panicked for a moment.

"Get off!"

The soldiers stepped forward quickly and thrust their spears directly in front of Lu Zhizheng and others.

"I won't bother with you guys!"

Lu Zhizheng was frightened when he saw the gleaming sword, and quickly got off the horse, but he comforted himself, thinking that he, a general, did not need to be as experienced as a group of big soldiers.

"take away!"

The soldiers were not prepared to give Lu Zhi a face, so they stepped forward and tied him up, then took him to see Ruan Xiaoer.

"Are you the Goryeo general? You don't look like it!"

Ruan Xiaoer looked at Lu Zhizheng kneeling in front of him and smiled.

“I’ve long heard that the Central Plains is a land of etiquette with its outstanding people, but it doesn’t look like it when I see it today!”

Lu Zhizheng looked at Ruan Xiaoer and said.

"It's a bit brave, but I am a military commander. My principles are only the swords and guns in my hands, and I won't talk nonsense like you!"

Ruan Xiaoer said with a sneer.

"Tell me, are you ready to surrender?"

Ruan Xiaoer asked directly.

"My country, Goryeo, has no enmity with your country of Qi. Why did you attack me, Goryeo, destroy my city, and harm my people? Is this your ceremonial country in the Central Plains?"

Lu Zhizheng looked at Ruan Xiaoer and said.

"No grievances? You have contacted the Kingdom of Jin not only once or twice, but we have intercepted several missions!"

Ruan Xiaoer said.

"Those envoys were intercepted by you!"

Lu Zhizheng suddenly understood that they had sent people to the Kingdom of Jin several times but there was no news. The Kingdom of Jin even said that they had not seen any missions. They were also wondering how an entire mission could disappear. Now it seems that it was done by the Kingdom of Qi. hands and feet.

"Haha, you only understand now?"

Ruan Xiaoer laughed.

"Why are you like this, do you, Qi State, want to interfere in my diplomatic dealings with Goryeo?"

Lu Zhizheng yelled.

"Why? Why are you stationing 200,000 troops in Baozhou? Don't think I don't know what you are thinking?"

Ruan Xiaoer said coldly.

"you……"

Lu Zhizheng didn't know how to answer for a while, but they had already united with the Jin State to prepare to deal with the Qi State.

"But it doesn't matter. Baozhou now should be similar to Kaijing!"

Ruan Xiaoer pointed at Kai Jing who was in ruins and said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Zhizheng's face changed slightly, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

"Our Qi State attacked Baozhou, Anbei, Xijing, Kaijing, and Seoul at the same time. The other cities should look like this at this time!"

Ruan Xiaoer said with a smile.

"what!"

Lu Zhizheng's face turned pale. These five cities were the five largest cities in Goryeo, with many city entrances and garrisons. "Go and tell your King of Korea that our Qi State has taken possession of this peninsula. If you don't want to die, please come out and surrender, otherwise the chickens and dogs will not be left behind! We don't care about taking over an uninhabited peninsula!"

Ruan Xiaoer looked at Lu Zhizheng and said.

"No, we can negotiate for peace. We, Goryeo, are willing to become brothers with Qi... a nation of father and son!"

Lu Zhizheng hurriedly said that he no longer dared to talk about a country of brothers. The fact that Qi State could attack the five major cities of Goryeo at the same time showed its strength. If they wanted to survive, Goryeo had no choice but to surrender.

Lu Zhizheng glanced at the ruins of Kaijing City, and then at the dark gun barrels on the giant ship not far away, knowing that they had no choice.

"A land of fathers and sons? We in Qi don't have unfilial sons like you. If you don't say what I just said a second time, get out!"

Ruan Xiaoer waved his soldiers and took Lu Zhizheng away.

Lu was dumbfounded before. He did not expect that the person in front of him did not follow the routine at all. The worst normal situation was to let him wait for a reply. After all, the diplomatic relations between the two countries were serious, and these generals at least had to report to the Emperor of Qi and wait for a reply.

"what's the situation?"

Wang Dingliu came over and asked.

"Come to beg for mercy!"

Ruan Xiaoer shook his head.

"Isn't it too late to beg for mercy now!"

Wang Dingliu said with a smile, they have already taken action, there is no reason to take back the sword that was swung out.

"Don't worry about them, let's get to work!"

Ruan Xiaoer said, Gao Li is already an old dog without teeth, and death is only a matter of time.

Lu Zhizheng returned to the mountain and reported everything to Wang Huan.

At this time, a lot of people had gathered around Wang Xuan, including dozens of officials in official uniforms.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

Wang Chen couldn't believe his ears. Five of his major cities in Goryeo were attacked at the same time? Have they all been destroyed? This was meant to scare him.

"That's what Qi State said."

Lu Zhizheng didn't want to believe it, but that was probably the actual situation.

"How to do how to do?"

Wang Chen slumped on the ground helplessly. These five cities were the five most wealthy cities in Goryeo. Almost all taxes were collected in these cities, and the army was also in these five cities. If they were all conquered by Qi State, Destroy that Goryeo was really hit hard.

"If this is the case, we may not be able to drive away these Qi people, so we will have to find foreign aid!"

Someone spoke.

"Foreign aid? I don't know what's going on with the Jin Kingdom. I hope they don't know how long they have to wait."

Someone immediately objected. The Qi State was going to have a decisive battle with the Jin State. It was not known how long it would take to determine the outcome of this battle, and they, Goryeo, could not wait for a moment.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the country?"

Wang Yan looked at Lu Zhizheng and asked.

"If you don't count the troops and horses in these five cities, there are still 80,000! But these troops and horses are distributed everywhere."

Lu Zhizheng said, Goryeo's land area is not small, and troops and horses are needed to be stationed everywhere, especially on the eastern coast. They have always left the Japanese alone.

"Eighty thousand? Our mighty Goryeo only has so few troops?"

Wang Yan looked miserable. At the beginning of the year, he had an army of 500,000 people.

"Your Majesty, you can contact the Japanese country and ask them to send troops to help!"

Someone suggested that the Jin Kingdom is unreliable now, and the only one they can find is the Japanese Kingdom.

"The Japanese people are ferocious, and it's easy to be counterattacked if you cooperate with them!"

Some people objected that the war between Japan and Goryeo had lasted for many years, and Goryeo had always won. Now it would be hard to save face by asking Japan for help.

"We, Goryeo, will be destroyed if we hesitate! Don't you see, those Qi people have no intention of leaving!"

Someone pointed to the giant ship in the distance and said, the enemy did not come to plunder and then leave, the enemy came to completely destroy Goryeo.

"Your Majesty, make a decision!"

Everyone looked at Wang Chen, waiting for the Goryeo emperor to make a decision.

"Send someone to Japan to ask for help!"

In the end, Wang Xi could only grit his teeth and give the order, but they could not find any other helper except the Japanese country.
