Chapter 809
Thank you book friends for reminding, the above Ulji Mundek has been changed to Yeongae Suwen.

For the Han people, Liaodong City is a sad place.When Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, the 30 troops were helpless.Under the city, there is a pile of corpses of the Sui army, and there are still Jingguan built by the Goguryeo people with the heads of the Sui soldiers.

Now Liaodong City is once again under the siege of the Han army.

Various siege towers, earth platforms, and high walls under the city are being built. Zhou Zhou led [-] Zhao troops to surround Liaodong City.

Of the 5000 Zhao troops, there were no more than [-] soldiers from the Han army, and the rest were mostly from the Khitan attached to the south, Dingling from Sinicization, Mohe from western Liaoning, and the various ministries attached to Mohe from within.

Over the years of fighting, these troops attached to the Zhao State have long been accustomed to the way of fighting with the Zhao army.Except that the weapons are much simpler than those of the Zhao army, the configuration of the army leader, commander, and building owner, as well as the combat methods, are all the same as the Zhao army.

Although Zhou Zhou's troops in Liaodong County are far inferior to the 30 Sui troops who attacked Liaodong at the beginning, these people have been fighting Goguryeo in Liaodong for a long time and have rich experience.What's more, Yuangai Suwen returned to Pyongyang this time, and took away a large number of elite soldiers from the Shunnu tribe, leaving Liaodong City, Wunvshan City, and the domestic city in the east of Goguryeo completely empty of troops.

So today, Liaodong City has fallen into a situation of emptiness of troops. Right now, only Yuan Gai Suwen's younger brother, Yuan Jingtu, leads 1 troops to garrison Liaodong City.

Even so, facing Liaodong Jiancheng, Zhou Zhou still did not dare to neglect, and besieged Liaodong City heavily, and then attacked the city after forging the siege weapons.Zhao Jun's latest weapons, kerosene bombs and eight-point guns, are displayed under the city.

The siege is imminent.

On the other side, when the troops of the Elimination Department were distributed in Liaodong City and the nearby Great Wall, in the north Guo Xiaoke and Tudiji led the troops from the Songmo Protectorate to attack from the north and force Goguryeo to accompany the capital. city.
The domestic city is near the Yalu River. It was originally a county seat built by the Han Chinese in the four eastern counties of Han and Liaodong. Later, Gao Zhumeng established Goguryeo, so he established his capital here.

Now Guo Xiaoke left all his infantry to the south of Hadaling, led five thousand Mohe, Khitan, and Qingqi of the Han army, and led them straight into the Songliao Plain under the leadership of Khitan guides who were familiar with the local situation.

Near the plain, there are mostly Mohe tribe, Sumo tribe, and Baishan tribe who oscillate between Dazhao and Goguryeo. The Mohe tribe will be very frightened when they see Zhao Guoqing riding over the mountains and descending from the sky.Qi Siyuxi from the Baeksan Department of Mohe had always been a pawn of Eulji Mundeok, but this time when he heard the news of Zhao's attack, he immediately changed his banner and joined Zhao's court, becoming the vanguard of Zhao's army.

In the next day, more than a dozen Mohe tribes came and surrendered in front of Guo Xiaoke's army, and they all expressed their willingness to lead the way, send troops to assist in the battle, or provide food and supplies.

The various ministries of Mohe sent men and horses to join forces with Guo Xiaoke's army, and the Zhao army's strength gradually increased.Guo Xiaoke's five thousand light cavalry marched unimpeded between the white mountains and the black waters, and approached the inner city with lightning speed. After bypassing Goguryeo's painstakingly fortified Great Wall, they attacked the inner city of Goguryeo.

When Guo Xiaoke led [-] Qingqi and tens of thousands of Mohe soldiers to the city, the domestic city was in chaos.

The Goguryeo people were in a panic, and there were only less than 3000 people in the inner city, but most of the families of the slave soldiers lived in the inner city.When the soldiers of Goguryeo saw the Mohe people who were obedient to the Goguryeo people in the city, they all rebelled and became the servants of the Zhao army. Even Qi Siyuxi surrendered, and they suddenly had no fighting spirit.

Guo Xiaoke ordered people to persuade him to surrender, but the Goguryeo people refused.But this time Zhao's army came under pressure, and the inner city was powerless to resist, but Cui Ci, the guard in the city, wanted to resist.Cui Ci is a native of Goguryeo of Han descent. He is descended from Cui Wei, the governor of Pingzhou, who came from the Cui family of Qinghe. People in the Cui family of Goguryeo are mostly descendants of Cui Wei today.

Cui Ci has lived in Goguryeo for a long time, and has long been the same as the Goguryeo people.Now that the army of Zhao State is besieging the city, he actually decides to fight to the end and be loyal to Yuan Gai Suwen.

But in the middle of the night, the monks in the city quietly opened the city gate and let Zhao Jun enter the city.

Zhao Guo has always been close to Buddhism. Not to mention that Li Chongjiu was a disciple of Shaolin Temple before, he also conferred Shaolin Temple as the National Huguo Temple, and rebuilt a Buddhist temple in Zhouzhou in Western Liaoning, making Longcheng in Western Liaoning a famous place for promoting Buddhism.

Therefore, the Goguryeo monks have always been very close to Zhao Guo. This time Guo Xiaoke promised the monks that he would not kill after breaking the city.At present, the Goguryeo monks decided to put Zhao Jun into the city.

However, Guo Xiaoke violated this promise afterwards. He murdered Cui Ci and more than a hundred of his cronies in the north of the city. This cruel method made the Goguryeo people shudder.Fortunately, Guo Xiaoke only targeted Cui Ci, and the other people in the city did not kill him.

In the south of Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla, after receiving the letter from Li Chongjiu, they immediately sent a large army to attack Goguryeo.

The regent princess of Silla, Princess Deman sent Silla's all-powerful soldiers, led by Silla's No.

The Silla army stretched as far as the eye could see on the plain. Jin Gengxin, who was less than 30 years old, whipped his horse and looked calmly at the plain north of the Han River.Prince Kim Chunchu of Silla was on the sidelines as the royal supervisor.

The army of Silla was crossing the Han River, and the southern border of Goguryeo was in front of it.Silla has oppressed Goguryeo for decades, and today it can finally eliminate this old rival.

Jin Chunqiu said to Jin Geng: "Judging from the current situation, Goguryeo is dead, but I don't understand, if we in Silla have worked so hard to help Zhao, will our fate be the same as Goguryeo in the future?"

Jin Geng said: "Your Highness, this is something the princess should care about. As a general, I just need to think about how to win this battle."

Jin Chunqiu smiled and said with a long sigh: "There is no point in arguing. Li Chongjiu only mobilized one-tenth of the country's troops. With our Silla, Baekje can destroy Goguryeo. If we don't send troops, Instead, it offended Da Zhao, which is exactly what we dare not, and this is what Princess Deman had to do."

Jin Geng said: "Perhaps you can look at it from a different perspective. Princess Deman has sent Princess Shengman to Zhao Guo, hoping to marry Li Chongjiu as Princess Goguryeo. Li Chongjiu also agreed, in exchange As a condition for Silla to send troops. In the future, the two countries will become relatives of each other, and even if Zhao’s national strength is unprecedented, he may not come to our Silla’s attention.”

Jin Chunqiu shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case, the policy of getting married is useful, but it's also very useless."

Jin Geng said: "Whether it is useful or not, Her Royal Highness hopes to use this kind of marriage method in exchange for the peace of Silla for decades. Moreover, this matter is very happy for Princess Shengman. Unlike other barbarians, Dazhao is the most powerful empire in the world, and the culture of Dazhao is far above that of Silla and Goguryeo. Therefore, Princess Shengman joined the royal family of Zhao Kingdom. For us Princess Shengman Say it’s something you can’t ask for.”

Jin Chunqiu didn't speak, he remembered the incident that he used Princess Shengman to get close to Li Chongjiu, but he saw it through.However, Li Chongjiu will not target Princess Shengman because of this in the future. For Li Chongjiu, the marriage is just a cover. Very good deal.

However, the people of Silla married the princess into the royal family of Zhao State, and even sent troops to fight for Zhao State.Although the exchange of the two seems unfair, it is quite normal for the comparison of the national strength of the two countries.

Right now, after Dazhao wiped out the Turks, it has shown the momentum of sweeping all directions. In addition to attacking Goguryeo, it is using troops in the south, east, and north at the same time. Now Silla dare not offend Zhao Guo in the slightest.So Princess Deman wants to use this method to keep Silla safe for decades. Now that the Dazhao country is in full swing, there can be a place to stay in this land surrounded by three seas.

Just as the Silla army was advancing, the combined fleet of Baekje and Zhao was sailing in from Weishui, heading straight for Pyongyang.

After Cheng Mingzhen's navy set off from Dengzhou, they first replenished their supplies in Dangxiangcheng, Silla, and then joined forces with the Baekje navy who came.Now Dangxiang City has almost become an overseas enclave of Zhao State, and Zhao Jun's fleet is anchored here, and there is no need to even inform Silla.

After Cheng Mingzhen's joint fleet rested in Dangxiang City, it immediately entered the Yishui River.

At that time, Li Chongjiu led the navy to go up from the river, invaded Pyongyang and defeated Koguryo, and finally captured the royal family of Koguryo.Now Cheng Mingzhen and Zhao Xin led Zhao Guo and the Baekje navy to cross the river again from here.

After Cheng Mingzhen's army entered the Weishui River, Yuan Gai Suwen looked down from the top of Pyongyang City, and saw Zhao Jun's fleet lying across the river, the huge ships that were almost waiting for the Pyongyang City Wall, and densely packed poles on both sides. , Liannu, all pose a powerful threat to Pyongyang City.

Yuangai Suwen is okay, but the Goguryeo soldiers under his command remembered the last time Goguryeo was broken, and the last time Zhao Jun broke Pyongyang from here.

But Yuan Gai Suwen didn't expect Zhao Guo's counterattack to be so fast, and it was so fast, he didn't even leave himself a chance to prepare.

After he killed the treasure king Gao Zang supported by Ulji Mundeok, and after Goguryeo's God of War Ulji Mundeok was also captured alive, Yuangai Suwen was full of ambition and decided to become emperor, but this emperor's dream only passed a few days. The navy attacked the city of Pyongyang.

Yuangai Suwen took out all his family assets, and 3 people from Goguryeo defended the city of Pyongyang to fight a decisive battle with the coalition forces of Silla, Zhao, and Baekje.

Yuangai Suwen is the No.1 general of Goguryeo known as Ulji Mundeok, and his soldiers in the Xiaonu tribe are all elite warriors.But no matter how elite the legion is, it is difficult to resist major events.

The armies of the two sides fought decisive battles for many days. Whether it was the famous general Jin Gengxin who had experienced many battles, or the general Cheng Mingzhen of the Zhao State, they were not inferior to Yuan Gai Suwen in the slightest.What's more, Zhao Guo's coalition forces still have an absolute advantage in strength.

A few days later, Yuangai Suwen lost to the coalition forces of the two countries and could only retreat to Pyongyang City.

Yuangai Suwen held on for a month, but news of the domestic city being breached spread to Pyongyang City one after another. After Guo Xiaoke captured the domestic city, he led an army to escort the families of the soldiers of the domestic city to the city of Pyongyang.

These family members yelled at the top of the city from the bottom of the city, asking the soldiers of the slave slaves to surrender.When those soldiers saw their parents and relatives being arrested, they hugged their heads and cried bitterly on the top of the wall.
Seeing this, Yuan Gai Suwen knew that the king's heart was gone, and his power was gone, so he committed suicide by slashing his sword at the top of the city, and a generation of heroes died.When Yuan Gai Suwen died, all the more than [-] soldiers and civilians in the city surrendered.

Goguryeo was destroyed.

When Li Chongjiu dispatched the order to attack Li Tang, the war in the direction of Goguryeo lasted only three months. Guo Xiaoke, Cheng Mingzhen, Zhou Zhou, and Zhao Xin led the troops to break Goguryeo, and surrendered the whole territory, hundreds of miles away. All returned to Zhao, and the enemy chief Yuan Gai Suwen gave the head.

When the news came, the whole country of Zhao State celebrated.Da Zhao has been winning consecutive battles for several years, and the people are intoxicated by the country's victory.

As the emperor, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be very happy at the moment, and immediately held a banquet in the palace to celebrate with all the officials.Gao Jianwu, the king of Goguryeo who was captured at the banquet, wept in front of the hall when he heard that Goguryeo was destroyed and Yuan Gai Suwen committed suicide.

Afterwards, Li Chongjiu adopted the opinions expressed by the students of Guozijian, and instead of establishing a Duhufu, he implemented the system of prefectures and counties in Goguryeo, and restored the four Han counties that were established when the Han Dynasty flattened Goguryeo.

The four newly established counties all adopt the old names of the Han Dynasty. In the east of the two counties of Liaoxi and Liaodong, from west to east, there are respectively Lelang County, Xuantu County, Zhenfan County, and Lintun County. In addition, they are located in Pyongyang Then set up Daifang County, a total of five counties, which are called the Five Counties of Northern Liaobei in later generations.

Under the rule of the five counties, there are 56 households and more than a hundred cities.

Li Chongjiu immediately decided to move more than [-] Goguryeo nobles to Han, and resettled them in Deng, Liao, and Beiping.Another [-] households were moved to the five counties in northern Liaoning.In addition, the Sinicization of Khitan, Sinicization of Mohe, and Sinicization of Shi Dexi each have a population of more than [-], all of which are within the five counties.

Farmers relocate in peace and don't like to migrate, but for businessmen, they are home from all over the world. Zhao Guo's merchants and farmers have developed simultaneously, and business has become a fashionable thing. Therefore, the development of the five counties in northern Liaobei has created a new way for Zhao Guo's merchants to forge ahead. Heart.In addition, nomadic tribes also like to migrate, so the five counties in northern Liaoning are enriched, mostly businessmen, herdsmen, and Sinicized foreigners.

In order to stabilize the local situation, Li Chongjiu ordered Guo Xiaoke to lead 2 troops, stationed in Liaodong, Pyongyang, three domestic cities, guarding Liaobei, and then set up a naval headquarters in Pyongyang.

So far, Goguryeo, like East Turks, has completely subjugated under the iron hoof of Da Zhao.

As for Silla, Baekje and Baekje were trembling. Li Chongjiu knew that the two countries were not in harmony, so he stayed there to check each other, and saved them from plotting the old place of Goguryeo.As soon as Goguryeo was destroyed, it was a few months later that the Wa country on the seashore and the Tamra country hurriedly sent envoys to Zhao to pay tribute, so we will not mention it for now.
