Chapter 654 Silla reinforcements (first update)
Zhao Zi's battle flag was hunting and moving.

The huge flagship of the Zhao army slowly sailed into the port. Li Chongjiu stood at the bow of the ship, and everywhere he could see were the wreckage and corpses left after the battle.In the port, the pier presents a scene of being swept away by the storm.

Li Chongjiu disembarked from the flagship, and Cheng Mingzhen was already waiting on the shore.

Cheng Mingzhen said to Li Chongjiu: "This is the news from the torture of the Goguryeo captives. This is Nanpu at the mouth of the Weishui River, and there is a town nearby. There are more than 8000 Goguryeo water troops in the port, and hundreds of large and small warships. Now the entire army of more than [-] people has been wiped out. Most of the warships have been sunk, and more than [-] ships have been captured. In addition, there are more than [-] people in the port, and there are [-] fishing boats of various types. None of the ships slipped through the net. Hundreds of tons of fresh fish, leather goods, grain fodder, ceramics, etc. were found in the warehouse on the wharf, and it is not yet time to count them.”

Li Chongjiu said: "I understand, I will reward the officers and men of the navy with fresh fish. All the captives will be escorted to the boat, so don't waste time here. By the way, what's going on in the direction of Pyongyang?"

Cheng Mingzhen said: "The beacon towers of the Goguryeo people have already summoned messages, and there is really no time to stop them. Presumably, the whole city of Pyongyang has already known the news of our army's attack."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "This is something that can't be stopped. It is necessary to make a quick decision and capture Pyongyang immediately. Otherwise, once Goguryeo reacts and people from all over the country lead the army to serve the king, our army will lose the opportunity to fight."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Xuansu came quickly, with joy on his face.

Li Chongjiu said jokingly: "Zhang Aiqing has always been calm, what happy event can make you so happy?"

Zhang Xuansu said with a smile: "Your Majesty is indeed a great happy event. Just now the Silla envoys have sent the news of Kongshan, Yuan Xiao and the two masters. The Silla King has sent [-] soldiers and horses to the mouth of the Weishui River by boat. Cooperate with His Majesty's war against Goguryeo."

Li Chongjiu and Cheng Mingzhen all showed expressions of surprise and joy.Cheng Mingzhen said: "This is really unexpected. I thought the King of Silla would not agree, but I didn't expect to send so many troops."

On the side, Jin Chunqiu and Jin Yuxin also showed expressions of disbelief.

Not long after the Silla fleet arrived, Li Chongjiu got to see Won Hyo and learned that it turned out that Silla sent troops with the support of Princess Deman. Acting.According to Yuan Xiao's words, although Princess Deman is a girl, she is very knowledgeable.

This time, supporting Silla and Zhao Guo to attack Goguryeo together, we got the support of the senior Bidan, Daedang Lianchang, Yanchuan, and Hulin, the former Hwarang Kingdom Immortal monk in Silla.Princess Deman gave the order immediately to let the upper class Bitan and the second class Yanchuan lead the army to attack from Dangxiang City.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help being very happy when he found out the reason, but Jin Chunqiu showed a sad look.If Princess Deman maintains a non-cooperative attitude towards Zhao Guo, then his status in Li Chongjiu's heart will be improved, but if Princess Deman is inclined to Zhao Guo, then Li Chongjiu's needs for him are dispensable.

After reuniting with the Silla reinforcements, Li Chongjiu was a little more confident about capturing Pyongyang City.At the moment, Li Chongjiu ordered the fleet to attack Pyongyang from the Wei River.

The land of Goguryeo is bordered by the Liaoshui River in the west, which is the boundary between Goguryeo and the Han people, the wild land of Khitan Mohe in the north, and the sea in the south has no room for development. The only way to expand is from west to east. There are rivers such as the Yalu River running through it, making it easy to walk through.Moreover, the mountain range, mainly Changbai Mountain, is inconvenient for transportation due to the barrier of mountains, but it is a barrier given by God to the Goguryeo people. Goguryeo built a mountain city here, preventing the Donghu people and Han people from invading the Korean peninsula many times.

From the central mountain range to the east, the terrain gradually flattens out. Most of the famous rivers in the Korean peninsula today originate here. Central Mountains.

Zhao Jun followed the upstream of the Weishui River, and fifty miles to the north was Pyongyang City. On the way, the Zaining River came from the west to join the Weishui River and flow into the sea.

The Xishui Plain, also known as the Datong River Plain in later generations.This has always been a wealthy and prosperous place in Goguryeo.Entering Goguryeo from Liaodong is like entering Sichuan and Shu. It is also the process of going through hardships and obstacles, and finally reaching a rich place.

The Goguryeo people built many canals along the river to irrigate and divert water. Along the river, they saw many village farmlands and barns.After the autumn harvest, the Goguryeo people obviously hoarded a lot of food and grass. If they send Qingqi along the river bank to search, it will definitely be a great harvest.

Zhao Jun and Silla's generals were all eager to move, and proposed to Li Chongjiu to wipe out the nearby villages, but Li Chongjiu refused. He told the generals that there was only one purpose for this expedition, and that was Pyongyang.

The beacon smoke from the beacon tower went all the way to the north, and the Goguryeo people along the river bank were all panicked when they saw the huge Zhao army fleet entering the Wei River, and crowds could be seen fleeing into the mountains hastily everywhere.

In fact, not long after Zhao Jun attacked Nampo Port, the Goguryeo people in Pyongyang's royal city also discovered the news of Nampo's attack from the beacon tower on the border.Pyongyang City is located on the north bank of the Weishui River. The Goguryeo people have been operating here for many years since the capital was moved, and they have already built the city into an impenetrable fortress.

In Anhe Palace, the current King of Goguryeo is called King Rongliu, who is the younger brother of Gaoyuan, the king of Yingyang who claimed to be the official of Liaodong dung to Yang Guang and resisted Yang Guang's million-strong army.After Yingyang Wang Gaoyuan died, his younger brother Rongliu Wang succeeded to the throne.

The king of Rongliu was named Gao Jianwu, and he was a man of great bravery since he was a child. When Lai Huer attacked Pyongyang and fought a decisive battle with the Goguryeo army, Gao Jianwu volunteered and led hundreds of daredevils to fight for the Goguryeo army. All fought.

Five years after Gao Jianwu took office, he continued to implement his father's strategy of defending from the east and attacking from the west.Goguryeo built the Great Wall in the east to resist the rising Zhao State, while in the west it fought with Silla to compete for the lost Han River basin.

After Gao Jianwu came to power, he made great efforts to govern. He formed an alliance with Turkic in the west and Baekje in the east.A few years later, Goguryeo has recovered from the weak state after the Sui army's conquest, with 30 soldiers in the country, reappearing the strength of Haidong.

Now in Anhak Palace, Gao Jianwu heard about the attack on Nampo Port. He frowned and looked down at the head of the royal family, Ulji Moon-deok, the governor of Goguryeo, and asked, "The beacon tower in Nampo is only burning. It went out in half an hour, what do you think of Lu? Was it the Japanese pirates, Baekje, Silla or who did it?"
