The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

Among the turbulent generals, only Zhang Bao remained silent.

"General Zhang, what do you think?" Gao Shun asked with a smile.

Zhang Bao paused, and said slowly: "Jin Ba is quite capable of using troops, and there are more than 5000 Korean troops in the city, so the general has nothing to do with whether our army can capture Nanyuan City I doubt it, but I think it is impossible to capture it in a short period of time.”

Ma Yun also said: "General Zhang's words are correct, Jin Ba is quite capable, we can't belittle the enemy just because of a big victory."

Ma Yun was born as a Korean general, so he naturally has the most right to speak about the details of the Eastern Korean generals. When the two of them said this, the agitated and arrogant generals immediately calmed down a little.

Inside the big tent, there was a moment of silence.

A light cough broke the silence, and Zhuge Liang, who had been silent all this time, seemed to have something to say.

"Mr. Zhuge, tell me what you think." Gao Shun waved his hand and asked.

Zhuge Liang said unhurriedly: "Xiaosheng thinks that Nan Yuan is naturally going to be attacked, and it is best to be able to attack as soon as possible. Even if it cannot be broken quickly, it is actually beneficial to our army."

Gao Shun's heart moved, he had vaguely speculated, but said: "How do you say that?"

"If Nanyuan City remains unbroken for a day, Jin Tian will not be able to give up. He will inevitably continue to deploy troops and food supplies in an attempt to rescue the trapped North Korean army. In this way, it will be tantamount to continuously consuming the strength of the Korean people. Right now, Jin Tian is already full of vitality. Injury, if you waste food, grass, soldiers and horses for Nanyuan City, it will be like adding insult to injury, isn't this exactly what the king would like to see."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Gao Shun nodded slightly, deeply agreeing.

According to Zhuge Liang, by the way, Gao Shun can turn Nanyuan City into a bottomless pit, forcing Jin Tian to continuously invest his remaining strength into it little by little. No harm.

If Jin Tian refused to waste his strength for Nan Yuan and completely abandoned Jin Ba and his [-] soldiers, it would be a serious loss to Jin Tian's prestige.

In any case, the siege of Nan Yuan was a good thing for Gao Shun.

Thinking of this, Gao Shunteng got up, and punched the map with his fist, "Very well, Mr. Yiwenhe, let's turn Nan Yuan into a piece of Jin Tian's chicken rib, and make him sick once."

The order to besiege the city was issued, and nearly [-] high troops soon surrounded Nan Yuan into an array of iron barrels.

In order to cut off the waterway connection between Nanyuan and the outside world, Gao Shun ordered Gan to command the vehicle and boat troops to station in the water village east of Nanyuan to prevent reinforcements from Pyongyang.

Jin Tian, ​​who was retreating to Pyongyang, lost [-] troops, and only had more than [-] remnants in his hands. The terrified Jin Tian was afraid that Gao Shun would take the opportunity to go east, so he urgently dispatched the North Korean general to come for reinforcements.

The North Korean general who had been besieging Pyongyang since he was besieging Pyongyang was naturally terrified when he heard the news of Jintian's defeat. He had to retreat from the siege of Pingcheng and led more than 1 troops to help Pyongyang, leaving a deputy general to lead the army. Five thousand, stationed in Xi'an County in the lower reaches of Xiushui, to prevent Liu He, who was relieved of the siege, from attacking the hinterland of Seoul from the south.

Although Jin Tian had the North Korean General to join him, but with only [-] soldiers, how dare he fight Gao Shun, he can only live in Pyongyang temporarily, and at the same time go to various places in North Korea to enlist young men and form a new army.

Jin Tian, ​​who didn't dare to march, sent dead soldiers to sneak into the city in order to give hope to the Jin Ba army who stayed behind in Nanyuan, ordering Jin Ba to stand firm and wait for help.

This war has been fought from autumn to

...A heavy snow flew by, the temperature plummeted, and Nanyuan's premature weather entered the coldest time of human winter.

Ten days have passed since the siege of the city, and Nanyuan City has been out of food for more than three days.

The grain and grass in Nanyuan City are basically supplied by North Korean water transport. Now that the city is besieged and the grain roads have been cut off, the nearly [-] soldiers and civilians in the city can only rely on a small amount of stored grain to survive.

The consumption of 5 people is so huge, and the food and grass will naturally be exhausted in less than a ten-day siege.

Once the food and grass were exhausted, Jin Ba could only order to kill horses and cattle to satisfy his hunger, but this could not alleviate the lack of food and grass in the city. After a few days, the hungry soldiers and civilians began to gnaw tree bark and eat mice. Don't let it go.

And this sudden heavy snowfall was tantamount to making Nanyuan City worse. The hungry soldiers and common people were suffering from serious mental and physical damage under the attack of severe cold.

Gao Shun naturally knew the situation in the city well. After the heavy snowfall, he quickly launched a powerful psychological warfare offensive.

Gao Shun first ordered the slaughter of chickens and sheep, and ordered the soldiers to cook or burn them at the upper air outlet of Nanyuan City, so that the tempting meat fragrance would float into the city with the wind, seducing the hungry defenders and common people.

At the same time, Gao Shun shot thousands of letters of persuasion into the city, persuading the soldiers and civilians in the city to stop making unnecessary resistance, offer Jin Ba's head, and surrender in Kaesong.

Under the double stimulation of hunger and surrender, the hearts of the people in Nanyuan City soon became agitated. Every day in the future, almost every day, there were North Korean soldiers, risking their deaths, crossing the city to surrender.

Moreover, the number of people who surrendered across the city has grown from dozens of people at the beginning to hundreds of people, and the number is increasing day by day.

Gao Shun appeased the surrendered soldiers with food and drinks, and then sent them to take turns shouting at the four gates of Nanyuan to persuade their companions to leave the city and surrender.

Facing Gao Shun's powerful psychological warfare offensive, Jin Ba had no choice but to form an inspection team composed of his own army, patrolling the four walls of the city every day, strictly blocking those who attempted to surrender from the city, and those who were caught would be beheaded for public display.

Although Jin Ba adopted tough measures, the hungry people would try their best to survive, even at the risk of beheading, and Jin Ba couldn't stop it at all.

Twenty days after the siege, Nanyuan City was on the verge of collapse.

On the top of the city, the red dress is like fire, which is extremely bright, and the pair of clear eyes are quietly watching the outside of the city.

More than a hundred paces away, Gao Jun was setting up a stove on the snowy ground, cooking mutton, and the wafting aroma of meat, blowing in the wind, hit her delicate nose.

Jin Guozhu heard a gurgling sound, and she knew that it was her stomach twitching.

Those thin-faced female soldiers on the left and right were also secretly licking their lips and swallowing, hunger surged crazily on their handsome faces.

Jin Guozhu tried his best to suppress the feeling of hunger, trying to use his spiritual strength to overwhelm his physical desire.

However, she soon discovered that all her efforts were in vain, and the instinct of hunger seemed to be implanted in her soul, causing her pain all the time.

Looking at the Gaojun camp outside the city from a distance, Lord Jin gritted his teeth secretly, with hatred on his face.

She originally came to Nanyuan with a playful mentality, wanting to personally experience her brother's great cause of defeating Gao Shun and engulfing Liaodong and even the Central Plains.

She had even dreamed about it for a long time, and couldn't wait to see Gao Shun's head with her own eyes, and see what kind of face that legendary character had.

But she never dreamed that all her dreams would be shattered overnight.

Her elder brother was defeated and fled, but she, the dignified princess of the Jin family, is now surrounded in this lonely city, suffering from the torture of hunger.

"Gao Shun, my Lord Jin will never surrender to you, never..."

Lord Jin secretly gritted his teeth, making a secret decision in his heart.

Googoo~~ Just when she gritted her teeth and swore, her stomach began to twitch unbearably. The severe colic made her soaked in cold sweat in a blink of an eye.

"Princess, we have captured a few more deserters who wanted to jump over the city." Several female soldiers escorted three Korean pawns who were so hungry that only their skin and bones remained.

As soon as King Jin saw these deserters, he became angry, raised his whip, and frantically pulled out at those deserters.

"You spineless bastards, I let you escape, let you escape—"

Every time the whip went down, King Jin used almost all his strength to whip these deserters so that they could not stop crying, and their skin was torn apart.

"Princess, please forgive me, princess, please forgive me..."

The deserters fell on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, but King Jin remained indifferent, only beating endlessly.

Her furious look seemed to want to vent all her anger towards Gao Shun on these soldiers.

Those female soldiers on the left and right, seeing their master's "ruthless" appearance, were also so frightened that they didn't dare to speak out.

The shrill howling sound made people's hearts tremble, and within a short time, the three deserters were pulled down to the ground, writhing in pain.

At the beginning, they were still howling and begging for mercy. Gradually, the howling sound became smaller and smaller until there was no sound, and the three deserters were already lying on the ground, not moving at all.

Jin Guozhu, even though they were alive, flogged them to death.

Finally, this kind of sparring without hesitation exhausted the little remaining physical strength of Jin Guozhu. Panting, she vented her anger, but she only felt dizzy, her delicate body shook, and then fell to the ground.

When Lord Jin woke up, she found that she was already in a warm military tent, and the blazing fire had roasted her body very comfortably, and there was even a scent of broth, which was invading her nose unscrupulously .

Jin Guozhu sat up, but saw his cousin Jin Xia, who was squatting by the stove at the moment, stirring a small pot of broth.

The rich meaty aroma made Jin Guozhu's tongue gush out a large amount of tongue in an instant, and his disappointing stomach began to growl again.

Jin Xia heard the noise, and when he turned his head to see Lord Jin, he smiled and said, "Little sister, you've finally woken up, come on, drink a bowl of horse meat soup while it's hot."

As he spoke, Jinxia brought a bowl of steaming broth to her.

Jin Guozhu didn't care about his manners, he took it up and gulped it down.

The army had run out of food and grass, and even the horse meat had been eaten. Now the soldiers could only chop up the leftover horse bones, add some bark and grass roots, and cook them over and over again to satisfy their hunger.

Even for a person of Jin Guozhu's status, what he ate was just a few more bone slags than in the bowls of ordinary soldiers.

Now that there is broth to drink suddenly, Lord Jin is ecstatic, he doesn't care about anything, he drinks several bowls in a row.
