The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

Gao Shun's plan was definitely not as simple as suddenly attacking the Pyongyang fortress under the cover of his relatives.

In addition to the 5000 sailors, Gao Shunyun's soldiers and horses gathered in Yunshan also included more than 5000 infantrymen who had just been sent from the Jiangbei area, for a total of [-] infantrymen.

Of course, Gao Shun would not let these numerous infantry go idle, so during the ten days of "raising money" for Jin Tian, ​​he secretly sent Zhang Gao to lead 6000 soldiers to the south, and quietly entered Pingcheng County. , to join the more than [-] troops led by Liu He.

And Gao Shun was sure that Jin Tian would not dare not give the money, so a few days before the ten-day deadline, he sent someone to send an order to Liu He, ordering them to raise all their troops in Pingcheng and send them to the former general stationed in Xi'an County. The Ministry launched a rush attack.

The army of the former army general was only a few thousand, so how could he resist the sudden attack of the well-prepared Chu army, which was several times larger than that, and under the unfavorable situation of holding on, he could only retreat steadily, and retreated all the way to the lower reaches of Xiushui, under the city of Pyongyang.

The Chu army's cavalry was elite, so they drove straight all the way, and attacked the hinterland of Pyongyang within a few days.

Once the city of Pyongyang is lost, the entire Chu army can directly cross the entire northern mountainous area, and then unify the entire Korean peninsula. Even if the Korean peninsula cannot be directly unified, it will directly threaten Pyongyang's side and rear from the land. At that time, facing front and rear attacks How can Jintian, with only 5 troops whose morale has not recovered, be able to resist the encirclement of Gaoshun's more than [-] land and water troops.

Jin Tian's remaining self-confidence was instantly shattered by this amazing information.

The sentinel ships flew back one after another, constantly stimulating Jin Tian's nerves with the news of Gao Shun's approaching navy.

Zhang Gao was so anxious that sweat rolled down his forehead, he said anxiously: "My lord, don't hesitate any longer. If the Chu army kills them and forms a siege to Pyongyang, the big event will be over."

Jin Tian trembled with fright, he knew that Zhang Gao was definitely not listening to alarming words.

Originally, he thought it would be too embarrassing to abandon Pyongyang without a fight, but now it seems that if he wants to save face, his life will be lost.

In desperation, Jin Tian let out a long sigh, and said bitterly: "Send down the order, order the whole army to rise up, and immediately withdraw to Lujiang County by water."

Zhang Gaochang breathed a sigh of relief, the order was passed, and the battalions immediately became busy. The panicked North Korean soldiers rushed to board the ship, fearing that they would be killed by the Chu army and escape in time.

At this time, Jin Tian suddenly thought of something again, "If my main force withdraws, what will happen to the former general and Lu Xun's army?"

Now the former army general is sticking to Haihun, and Lu Xun was originally ordered by Jin Tian to assist the former army general and strengthen the defense of Pingcheng, and he is probably still on the way at this moment.

Zhang Gao thought for a while and said, "At this point, I don't care about too much, so I asked my lord to issue an order quickly, ordering the two of them to abandon the warship and retreat by land to Poyang County to hold on, so as not to be surrounded by the Chu army. "

After Jin Tian thought about it, this was the only way he could choose. In desperation, he had no choice but to follow Zhang Gao's plan.

At dusk that day, Jin Tian led [-] North Korean troops and hundreds of warships, and hurriedly escaped from the Pyongyang fortress before Gao Shun's navy arrived, and retreated towards Wankou, which was more than a hundred miles downstream.

Because the escape was too hasty, Jin Tian had no time to carry the military funds piled up in the Pyongyang Fortress to the ship and take them away. In order not to leave these military funds to Gao Shun, Jin Tian could only give an order with distress, a fire general These military assets were burned together with the Pyongyang Fortress.

When the [-] sailors led by Gan Ning and the deputy general arrived, the entire Pyongyang village was turned into a sea of ​​flames.

At this time, Jin Tian, ​​like a panic-stricken mouse, led his [-] navy and escaped for more than [-] li.

Of course Gan Ning and the others knew that Jin Tian was planning to flee to Wankou. Considering that Wankou was hundreds of miles away, if he pursued him and stretched the battle line too far, it would be bad for him.

So Gan Ning and others stopped their pursuit, and the army marched into Pyongyang, put out the fire, and set up camp again on the ruins.

A day later, the rear army led by Gao Shun also arrived in Pyongyang.

After boarding the grass-created water village and looking around at the ashes, Gao Shun said with emotion: "Your second brother is really quick-witted, and he escaped quite quickly."

Gao Shun's words were obviously addressed to Lord Jin who accompanied him.

Even though Gao Shun didn't agree to cease fire with Jin Tian, ​​he didn't go too far either, and still took King Jin as his concubine.

When Gan Ning and other generals led the army to attack Pyongyang, Gao Shun, who was in Yunshan, held a short ceremony, formally accepting the King of Jin as a concubine, and adding a new Mrs. Sun to himself.

Defeating the enemy, and then accepting their daughter or sister as a concubine, the strong sense of accomplishment cannot be described in words.

Today, Gao took his new wife by the way, to let her see how the elder brother he admired fled in embarrassment.

Lord Jin silently looked at the Pyongyang camp in the ruins, and was deeply shocked again.

How strong the Pyongyang Fortress is, Sun Shang had seen it before when he was on his way.

Lord Jin originally thought that the fall of Yunshan was only caused by the second brother's momentary mistake, and it was not a crime of war.

But now, with Jin Tian abandoning such an important place without a fight, Lord Jin began to have deep doubts about the second brother who she had always regarded as a hero.

People got the big camp, and set up another tent for the King of the Kingdom of Jin. Gao Shun called all the civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.

Ling Tong, who was eager for revenge, naturally advocated continuing to go down the river to wipe out Jin Tian in one go, but the lieutenant general had a different view.

The lieutenant general believed that although the North Korean army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Ferry, it still had not lost its ability to resist. Jin Tian still had at least [-] mobile troops on hand, and he still had troops at his disposal on the Korean Peninsula and in Huainan.

On the way to Moling, the North Korean army still set up the North Korean cities of Pyongyang and Seoul. If the North Koreans backed their backs to the east of the river and defended stubbornly, Gao Shun's destruction of North Korea would take a lot of trouble.

Moreover, at this time Pingcheng has not yet fallen, and Yunshan and Pyongyang's flanks are always threatened by the North Korean army.

Therefore, the lieutenant general suggested that while building the Pyongyang camp first to ensure a firm foothold on the front line, the two counties of Pingcheng and Seoul in the south should be wiped out to ensure the safety of the flanks, and then it will not be too late to advance troops.

"The civil servants are right. There are former generals and Lu Xun's [-] Korean troops besieged in Haihunyan. The former general is nothing to be afraid of, but this Lu Xun is a hidden danger. If you don't get rid of these two, how can you rest assured? Enter."

Gao Shun's words set the tone for the next attack.

Therefore, after some discussions, Gao Shun decided to keep the navy to defend Pyongyang, and Gao Shun led his infantry to go south to join with Zhang Gao's generals to encircle and wipe out Lu Xun who was trapped in Haihun City and the Korean army under the former general's command. .

After the military meeting was over, Gao Shun inspected the camps again to comfort the soldiers of the army. After having dinner with the soldiers, it was already night when Gao Shun returned to bed.

Stepping into the inner tent, you can see the misty water in front of your eyes, the fragrance is dense, and the sound of gurgling water is ringing in your ears.

Turning around the screen, he saw Jin Guozhu squatting beside the big wooden basin, with his slender arms like lotus root, adjusting the water temperature.

Seeing that Gao Shun was in the tent, Jin Guozhu hurriedly got up and greeted him, with a sweet smile on his pretty face.

"Husband, you are back, I boiled some hot water on my body, just in time for my husband to take a bath and wash off the fatigue of this whole body."

King Jin said that he had stepped forward and personally served Gao Shun to remove his armor and clothes.

Looking at the gentle and considerate new wife in front of him, Gao Shun was rather surprised.

Although the former Lord Jin had become Gao Shun's woman, she still couldn't hide her compulsive expression when serving Gao Shun. But today, she is serving Gao Shun so proactively and considerately, which is quite different from her previous attitude.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

A thought quickly flashed through Gao Shun's mind, but he didn't point it out, and just let her serve him.

Taking off the armor and clothes, Gao Shun was calm and natural, but the smiling face of Lord Jin showed an uncomfortable look from time to time.

She has always been good at martial arts, and she is used to being served by others, but now she has to serve others instead, so she is naturally a little uncomfortable.

And when Gao Shun took off the last piece of his clothes and "meet each other frankly", Lord Jin blushed suddenly, and hurriedly moved his eyes away, not daring to look at the majestic thing.

Her shy appearance looked very pleasant at this moment.

By the way, Gao walked past her on purpose, stepped forward with his thighs, and sat in the bathtub carelessly.

Although King Jin was ashamed, he could only pretend nothing happened.

"Come here and wipe my husband's back." Gao Shun opened his body and sat in the tub, like an old man, or rather, he was an old man.

Lord Jin has never done such a thing like rubbing someone's back, but now that she is Gao Shun's concubine, even if she doesn't want to, she has to do this dirty thing.

So Jin Guozhu could only forcefully smile, and awkwardly rubbed Gao Shun's back.

Her watery onion-like hand brushed across her back from time to time, and the itchy feeling gradually aroused Gao Shun's desire.

With his anger gradually rising, Gao Shun suddenly stood up from the water with a "wow", his naked body turned to face Lord Jin.

Lord Jin was startled, and when he suddenly raised his head, a flush of embarrassment flooded his face instantly, and he stood there in shame for a while.

"Ma'am, what are you still doing blankly, don't you want to wipe your husband's body?" Gao Shun was serious.

"Well."

Lord Jin came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, but could only suppress his shame, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and continued to wipe Gao Shun's body.

"Husband, can't you stop the war and reconcile with the second brother? In fact, there is nothing wrong with the two families living in harmony."

While wiping, Jin Guozhu said as if chatting.

Sure enough.

Gao Shun knew that his new wife, suddenly being so active and courteous, probably wanted to seek peace for Jin Tian.

Gao Shun sneered, "It is difficult for Jingyang and Yangzhou to coexist. If I, Gao Shun, are the ones who are defeated today, will your second brother, Jin Tian, ​​let me go just because I married you?"

Gao Shun asked a rhetorical question, which stunned Jin Guozhu.

Annexing Liaodong and destroying the Gongsun family was a national policy that Jin Tian had set long ago, and it was also a consensus reached by the Middle East and North Korea. Although King Jin did not participate in military affairs, he knew it well under the influence of his ears and eyes.

In the troubled times, it's either you die or I live, not to mention two princes who are in the same situation and share the Yangtze River.

Lord Jin suddenly felt how naive his thoughts were.

After being silent for a while, Lord Jin shook his head and sighed, and silently answered two words: "No."
