The great man will live forever

Chapter 148 The War Is Over
The war to destroy Korea lasted from the second year of Yuanfeng to the third year of Yuanfeng.

Xun Shen came from a formal academic background and was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Naturally, he knew the temperament and temperament of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Now he is using Weishan as a gun to stop North Korea from surrendering, which is equivalent to cutting off all options, so there is only one way to win.

"Pass my order, cross the river at all costs, and conquer the Joseon Royal City within half a year. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

"kill!"

Without saying a word, he marched his army across the Zhu River.

"Kill it!"

The Han army was extremely ferocious, with more than 3 troops pressing forward together. The North Korean army was under too much pressure.

"General!"

"I can't resist it."

"The Han offensive was too fierce."

"Retreat to the royal city!"

The Han army defeated the Korean defenders, and the Korean army withdrew to the royal city. The Han army marched straight in, reaching the gate of Wangjian City, and surrounded Wangjian City from the northwest.

Yang Pu, who had taken in the deserters, took advantage of the situation to surround the south side, and Wei Youqu trapped the isolated city and had no choice but to hold on.

During the stalemate between the two sides for several months, the fierce troops of Yan and Dai led by Xun Shen continued to attack fiercely. However, the Shandong prisoners under Yang Pu were still afraid of being sniped by the North Korean army, so they were timid and passive in their work.

The original conceptual contradiction between the two was directly reflected in their combat intentions.

To the south, in Yang Pu's camp, he wanted to take credit, but there were not as many people as Xun She. He felt that persuading him to surrender was a good way to get great credit and avoid damage, "then send someone to persuade the king of Korea to surrender."

"promise!"

Not long after a soldier left, Xun Shen sent someone.

"General Yang, my general asked me to ask you, when will we launch a general offensive together?"

"hold on!"

"When will you wait?"

"Are you going to question this general again?"

"Don't dare!"

……

In the Joseon palace, Wei Youqu received Yang Pu's people with great joy.
"Yes, I am very willing to surrender, but I am afraid that General Xun in the north will not agree. Please give Gu's surrender letter to General Yang and discuss the details."

Yang Pu's people had no choice but to go back with Wei Youqu's letters and rewards.

Xianshe Nixi asked: "Your Majesty, do we really want to surrender to Yang Pu?"

"How come, Gu will not surrender. One of them wants to fight, and the other wants to surrender. They don't seem to get along. It's best to be suspicious of each other, so that we can have a chance."

The North Korean minister hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to surrender."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Han army is invincible. The Xiongnu are treacherous and will not send troops. We are no match for the Han." Another prime minister, Han Yin, also persuaded.

"Okay, you guys, stop talking. Gu will not surrender. If I surrender to you now, will the Emperor of Han be able to circumvent Gu?"

On one side, Yang Pu kept sending envoys to persuade Wei Youqu to surrender. On the other side, Xun Shen kept urging Yang Pu to agree on a time to start the general offensive. On the other side, Wei officials kept responding to Yang Pu's surrender negotiations.

For North Korea, there is room for operation only if there are gaps.The suspicion between Xun Shen and Yang Servant slowly grew. Since Yang Servant refused to attack and talked, Xun Shen also sent an envoy to accept the surrender.

Unfortunately, most officials in North Korea only wanted to surrender to the relatively mild-mannered Yang Pu. After all, Yang Pu was a former defeated general.

At the same time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was far away in Chang'an, had lost patience with the two generals.

"How long have they been fighting? We haven't defeated a small North Korea yet. Do they think it's the Huns?"

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

"Yes, Your Majesty, North Korea is a long way away, so it is naturally a bit difficult to defeat."

"That's all. Send me an order to send Nanjun County Governor Gongsun Sui to investigate again."

"promise!"

Liu Han on the side was a little speechless. It was obvious that both Yang Pu and Xun She wanted to take credit, but didn't they know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only looked at the results, and he was angry now. Even if North Korea defeated them later, they would still be punished. .

"Pu Yang, Pu Yang, that's all. I'll save your life when the time comes."

After Gongsun Sui arrived in North Korea, he met Xun Shen. He began to slander Yang Pu and said, "Master Gongsun, North Korea should have been captured long ago. The reason why it cannot be conquered is that Yang Pu has repeatedly agreed to attack but did not meet as scheduled."

"Furthermore, Pu Yang was guilty of losing the army before, and now he has made peace with North Korea privately but North Korea will not surrender. I suspect that Pu Yang has a conspiracy to rebel, but he dare not act.

The situation is so serious now that if he is not questioned, it may become a big disaster. Not only will Yang Pu rebel, but he will also come with North Korea to destroy my army. Then there will be big trouble. "

Good guy, Gongsun Sui felt that Xun Shen was a close confidant of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was highly used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It was impossible for him to betray him, so he easily believed his words and did not confront Yang Pu at all.

"Come here, send someone with the talisman to summon General Yang Pu to come to the big tent to discuss matters."

"promise!"

Here, Yang Pu saw someone coming with a talisman. It was His Majesty's envoy. He did not dare to neglect, so he came to Xun Xun's military tent with his own soldiers. As a result, he was arrested when he came to discuss it.

"What are you going to do? I am a general of the imperial court? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will know what you are doing?" Yang Pu roared angrily, but to no avail.

"I will report this matter to His Majesty truthfully."

With Gongsun Sui's support, Xun Zhen directly detained Yang Pu and merged Yang Pu's troops. A total of 4 troops rushed to Wei's North Korea. Gongsun Sui responded to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

But who is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? He is old and cunning. He is almost 50 years old. He became emperor at the age of 16. He has been in power for more than 30 years. What has he not seen before?

"This Gongsun Sui, what is he going to do? Arrest the imperial general openly. Who gave him the power?"

"Come here, bring him back to me and behead him!"

Emperor Wu sent Gongsun Sui not to arrest Yang Pu and control his army, but to ask Gongsun Sui to act according to the actual situation. However, Gongsun Sui listened to the one-sided words of Zuo General Xun She, arrested Louchuan General Yang Pu, and handed over his army. Xun Zhi was in charge alone.

Gongsun Sui's misjudgment made the possibility of a peaceful settlement of the war in vain, so Emperor Wu was very angry after hearing the report and ordered Gongsun Sui to be executed.

Let’s say this is an injustice. There are indeed some cases. Let’s say it’s not an injustice. It’s not too unfair.

Regarding the Korean war, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed that the Korean issue should be solved with as few casualties as possible. After all, the Korean issue was just that Wei Youqu was too ignorant, and he really wanted to kill the Han envoys, but Weishan's mishandling led to the failure of the peace talks, so he wanted to kill Weishan , but Liu Han persuaded him.

Helpless, he could only let the two armies continue to attack North Korea, but they failed to defeat it for half a year.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew very well that the two generals could not work together to besiege Wangxian City, so the problem could not be solved for a long time. He sent Gongsun Sui to correct the mistakes of the two generals, and he could handle it flexibly on his own if there was a profit.

"Then go to the right place, and you can engage in it when you have the advantage."In fact, it is the right to observe, coordinate, and report. It does not have the right to stand up on the spot, capture generals, and merge the two armies.

Who is Pu Yang?He served as a lord captain, had meritorious service in destroying South Vietnam, and had meritorious service in destroying East Vietnam, and was granted the title of Marquis General Lou Chuan.You are a mere two-thousand-stone prefect of Jinan, but you didn't report it to the emperor, but you arrested Yang servant after just a few words, and "merged with his army"?
This is a blatant attempt to sabotage my plan and exceed my authority. It would be strange if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not angry.

It can only be said that what the leader says on his lips and what he thinks in his heart may be completely different things. Beware of falling into a trap if you blindly do things blindly. You must know what the leader has in mind, otherwise you will face the consequences if you do something wrong.

Liu Han was not familiar with Gongsun Sui, so he naturally didn't intercede on his behalf. It's okay if you protect one or two people, but you protect everyone. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't want to lose face?I am the only one who is the bad guy and you are the good guy?
Even without Shu Yuzhu telling him, Liu Han could imagine that Xun She would definitely be punished after he came back, because he was not satisfied with the results that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted at all.

He is not touched now, just because he still needs to command the army to destroy North Korea. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty likes to settle accounts after the fall.

After Xun Shi unified the two armies, he rushed to attack the Korean army. For a time, the Korean royal city was in danger.

North Korea's Prime Minister Han Yin, Prime Minister Ni Xiang Can, and General Wang Zhe discussed together: "I wanted to surrender to Yang Pu at first, but now Yang Pu's army has been captured, and only Xun Fu can lead both armies. The war is getting more and more urgent. I'm afraid We can’t fight him to the end, and our king refuses to surrender, what should we do now?”

"The only solution for now is..." Ni Xixiang made a beheading gesture, and everyone knew who he wanted to kill.

"But that is the king after all."

"Do you want to destroy the clan? It's just that the king doesn't surrender. He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

The North Korean Prime Minister sighed with emotion, "That's it, that's it, that's it. I'm ashamed of the late king. Let's keep the prince."

At night, in the Joseon palace, the guards shouted,
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the thief has come in."

"Could it be that the Han army invaded?"

"No, the Prime Minister has rebelled."

"You traitor!" Wei Youqu was very angry and his face turned red.

"Quickly, he summons the general Wang Xi."

"Bah!" The door opened, and the rebels surrounded the palace and came to Wei Youqu's bedroom.

"No need, Your Majesty. I'm here. Please have a safe journey, Your Majesty."

Wang Xi came in with his soldiers, followed by North Korea's Xiang Luren, Xiang Hanyin, and Nixi Xiangcan.

"Okay, okay, it's all against me, it's all against me, it's not easy to lead you alone."

"We just don't want to die. The king is determined to have his own way. Don't worry, the king. We will take good care of the prince. Please go away."

"Clang!" With a sound, Nixi Xiangcan threw a sword beside Wei Youqu, obviously intending to make him kill himself. They did not want to be accused of regicide.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I want to write a poem about this situation." Wei Youqu tremblingly held the sword on his neck, trying to say the last tragic words.

Back then, before the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty was defeated, he left behind a poem called "Gaixia Song": "If you are strong enough to conquer the mountains, you will be overwhelmingly powerful, but if the times are not good, you will never die. If you are lucky, there is nothing you can do. If you are worried, you can do nothing!"

He also wanted to leave such a poem to be remembered by future generations, but after thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to say, "Oh, at this moment, I can't even write a poem, that's all, that's all!"

"what!"

With determination in his eyes, he then committed suicide.

Therefore, in the autumn of the third year of Yuanfeng (108 BC), Korean Prime Ministers Luren, Hanyin, Nixi Xiangan, and General Wang Zhe rebelled. They sent people to force Wei Youqu to death, kidnapped the Korean crown prince Wei Yinghui, and threatened the Han Dynasty. surrender.

At that time, the Han army had not captured Wangxian City, but the minister who was guarding Youqu had already rebelled in the city and attacked the officials who disobeyed him. What was ridiculous was that a Korean minister actually died on the road, looking at his fortune and his life. , actually burped.

Xun Shen sent the prince Wei Yinghui and Lu Zui, the son of a passerby, to tell the people of North Korea to surrender and avoid death. Therefore, North Korea was finally pacified. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the four counties of Zhenfan, Lintun, Lelang, and Xuantu. .

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty granted Nixi Xiancan the title of Marquis of Qingqing, Hanyin the Marquis of Diju, Wangzhi the Marquis of Pingzhou, and the crown prince Wei Yinghui the title of Jihou. Lu Zui was granted the title because his father died on the way to surrender because of his meritorious service. Marquis Wenyang.

Xun Zhi was summoned to Beijing. He was guilty of being eager for success and violating military plans, and was sentenced to abandoning the market. Liu Han was unfamiliar with this guy and did not intercede.

I just feel a little wronged for him. He won the war and was executed just because he didn't get the result that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted. It feels a bit like a rabbit dying and a fox dying.

Yang Pu was guilty of the crime of leading the troops to wait for Xun Shen after arriving at Lukou, but he rushed ahead of the troops without authorization, causing heavy losses. He should be executed according to law. Liu Han wanted to plead for mercy, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that he could use money to atone for his crime, so he was exempted from the death penalty. , deposed as common people.

Since then, the Joseon Dynasty has collapsed, and the Han Dynasty has gained four more counties!

　How many children did Wei Youqu have? I didn't find out, so I set it to two. His prince should be called Wei Chang, so I changed it to Wei Yinghui. If you are interested, you can check it out.
