898 The pacification of Liaodong
With definite confidence, Zhang Fei and Tian Yu did not hesitate and immediately commanded 20,000 Wei troops to launch a full-scale attack on Xiangping City.
This time, Xiangping City did not make the previous tough resistance.
This time their resistance was not only weak, but also very weak, and there was no discipline, and the resistance of the soldiers was weak and weak, and basically had no effect of stopping the advance of the Wei army, so that the Wei army could pass the obstacles without hindrance.
The Wei army attacked the city on three sides, quickly broke through the moat, entered the siege range, and then erected a ladder to attach ants to the city.
A large number of Wei soldiers climbed the city wall to attack, but the resistance encountered was very limited, and a large number of Liaodong soldiers did not want to resist at all, and once they encountered the Wei army, they fled directly.
The Wei army can be said to have easily occupied the city wall, and then went down the city tower along the city wall, stormed the city gate, successfully occupied the city gate, and opened the door decisively.
The gate of Xiangping, which has been held to this day, was opened, and it was no longer possible to resist the invasion of the Wei army, Zhang Fei and Tian Yu were very excited to lead troops into the city, broke through the Xiangping defense line, and attacked the last resistance city.
The Wei army entered the city decisively, and engaged in a not fierce street battle with the Liaodong soldiers in the city.
There was a civil strife in the Liaodong army, and there was no resistance to the Wei army that broke into the city, and they were routed one after another, and the city was in chaos, and the city was a hellish scene, full of fire and dead corpses.
Zhang Fei and Tian Yu did not find Liu Yi, so they had to send troops to occupy the key parts of Xiangping City, especially the granaries and arsenals, and control the lifeblood of the entire city.
It didn't take long for the city, which Gongsun Du had been running for twenty years, to fall completely into the hands of the Wei army, and everything in the city was occupied by the Wei army, including mountains of ordnance and mountains of grain and grass.
This city is indeed rich, and as the capital of Liaodong, it is very valuable.
It's just that Liu Yi has never appeared in front of Zhang Fei and Tian Yu, which makes the two of them uneasy.
But Zhang Fei and Tian Yu never expected that when Liu Yi appeared in front of them again, he was already in a state of separation.
No longer a living person, but a headless corpse, and a dead head.
One of Liu Yi's subordinates knelt in front of Zhang Fei and Yu Ban, crying and explaining what he had done.
To put it simply, Liu Yi tried to cover up the news that Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang had died, so as not to let the defenders in the city know, and wanted to continue to fight and sacrifice everything for the Gongsun clan.
But when he learned the news that Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang were dead, the news had already spread, and it spread rapidly from the city gate defenders to the city, and everyone soon knew about it, and this news could not be prevented at all.
The soldiers panicked and asked Liu Yi to surrender and give up resistance, thinking that the Gongsun clan was finished, and now continuing to defend the city is sending them to death, and it is better to surrender directly, at least they can still live.
But I don't know what Liu Yi thinks, he resolutely disagreed, and sent his own cronies to guard the city gate, replacing the undetermined troops, and also confiscating the weapons of those troops who tried to surrender and putting them in custody.
Many of Liu Yi's generals respected him very much, followed him to fight for many years, and wanted to listen to his orders, but the Gongsun clan was finished, and the Liaodong regime had been destroyed.
Or a senseless death.
The generals knelt down and begged Liu Yi to surrender in exchange for everyone's survival, because the Gongsun clan was finished, and they had no one to be loyal to.
But Liu Yi resolutely refused, saying that everyone was deeply affected by the kindness of the Gongsun clan for twenty years, can't they be loyal to the Gongsun clan to the end?
After eating the food of the Gongsun clan for twenty years, do you want to betray the Gongsun clan at this time?
Many people thought that Liu Yi was crazy, and secretly planned to open the city gate and surrender to the Wei army outside the city to end this senseless resistance.
As a result, the plan was leaked, and the group of people was besieged and killed by Liu Yi himself, and the generals who tried to surrender were unwilling to be captured, so they resisted fiercely.
Then, in the midst of resistance, they successfully fought back and killed Liu Yi.
At the same time as their civil war, the Wei army seized the opportunity to break into the city and put an end to everything.
Most of the generals were unwilling to be killed for no reason, so they decided to come and surrender with Liu Yi's head, hoping to get forgiveness from the Wei army.
Knowing what happened in the city, Zhang Fei and Tian Yu also felt a little surprised.
However, in order to appease the people's hearts, Tian Yu still suggested appeasing them, allowing them to join the Wei army, change the court, stabilize the hearts of the people in the city as quickly as possible, and then restore order in the city.
Yu Ban was very happy to learn that Zhang Fei and Tian Yu had captured Xiangping, and then issued an order to all the generals of the army, asking them to lead their troops to occupy cities and villages everywhere, and take the same method as before to seize the population of Liaodong, destroy the manors of Liaodong, and officially occupy Liaodong.
The various units of the Wei army soon began to act, and they swept the agricultural areas around the county towns in eastern Liaodong, destroying the manors in the agricultural areas one by one, and occupying the population one after another, and including them in the statistics.
During the whole process, Guo Jin was still the same as before, he was awarded 500 elite soldiers, and together with 50 elites of the forbidden army, accompanied by Guan Ping and six people, he destroyed seven manors in a row, killed more than 300 enemies, and collected more than 5,000 people.
And in this process, Guo Jin led a bow and killed people on the battlefield for the first time, and shot seven private soldiers of the manor who blocked the Wei army's attack.
Dealing with these small characters, the Wei army worked hard, won seven battles and seven victories, and after a complete victory, the squad returned to the city and was praised by Yu Ban.
The Wei army destroyed the manor on a large scale on the land of Liaodong, demolished the walls and dock forts, destroyed the dock forts that hindered economic development and political exchanges, destroyed the diaphragm between the Liaodong region and the Central Plains, and opened up the connection between the land of Liaodong and the Central Plains.
As a result, private units in the Liaodong region that might have hindered the rule of the Wei Empire ceased to exist.
At this time, it was November 19 of the second year of Yande, and only more than two months had passed since the first day of September when Guo Peng issued the order to start the war.
The Wei army once again destroyed a separatist warlord within three months, and the Battle of Liaodong ended victoriously.
A large amount of grain came to the land of Liaodong with the ship, and the people of Liaodong, who were not only frightened but also hungry, finally saw a glimmer of light and began to settle down.
When these people settle down, then the whole of Liaodong will also settle down.
The chaotic Liaodong began to restore social order.
After handling the emergency, Yu Ban sent people back to report the good news to Guo Peng, while gathering troops and deploying defenses in various parts of Liaodong.
After that, Yu Ban began to order the generals of Liaodong to tell what they knew about the relationship between Gongsun Du and the foreign powers in Liaodong, as well as all useful information, for reference.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, Yu Ban already knew that the two countries he was going to face were two formed countries, with a bureaucratic system, a hukou system and an army system, and they were not barbarian tribes, so it was necessary to understand all of them, as well as combat effectiveness and war potential, etc.
Yu Ban began to secretly prepare for the next war against Goguryi and Buyeo.
On the other hand, after two months of marching and campaigning, Tai Shici has basically destroyed the three tribal states of Mahan, Chenhan and Benhan.
After the war, Tai Shici killed all the leaders of the three countries, collected their remnants, and began to set up new administrative villages and townships on the Korean Peninsula, and gradually gathered into the scale of counties.
Tai Shici's actions were of great concern to Guo Peng, so he soon sent cabinet officials and officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the Korean Peninsula to help plan a new distribution of counties.
