Chapter 282: Cross-Sea Crusade (End)

After the West City was broken, Tai Shici led the army into the city, advancing layer by layer, and the goal was to take the palace directly. At the same time, the Goguryeo ministers, who heard the news of the Han army's entry into the city, hurriedly made their own choice and immediately sent their cronies to control the other three city gates and let the Han army enter the city. After a while, Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong also entered the city.

Forced by the might of the Han army, there were few people who resisted in the city. There was stubborn resistance, and before the Han army could react, they were cut down by the surrendered army with their weapons. The nobles of Goguryeo did it thoroughly.

In the city, the three Han armies, under the leadership of their own generals, went straight to the royal city. Inside the palace, the nobles who were loyal to the king of Goguryeo also arrived. They embraced the red-eyed King of Goguryeo, took their families and attendants, and went straight to Dongcheng. Out of the eastern city, it is Ma Zishui, go north by boat, escape far, the north is very large, as long as the Goguryeo people's martial arts are still there, not afraid of no land. Don't stay here and fight with the Han Chinese.

The king of Goguryeo was still unwilling before leaving, and after cutting down a few beloved concubines, he looked around at the empty palace. This is the inheritance left by the ancestors, and it has been more than 100 years since Goguryeo was driven here by the Han people. Are you going to give up now? Thinking that he would never be able to return to his homeland, the king of Goguryeo was so sad that his eyes were red. There are so many good things that you can't take with you in the palace. The king of Goguryeo also did not want to cheapen the Han Chinese. The Han people let the Goguryeo people move to the capital once, but now they still have to be wiped out, so let's burn it down, let this palace be buried for the widow's country.

Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, and Tai Shici, under the guidance of the leading party, rushed all the way to the palace, but found that the palace was already on fire, the fire was raging, red through half the sky, and the crowd was forced to retreat by the scorching heat and smoke. Huang Zhong said angrily: "This dog thief dares to set fire!" He scolded for a while, and then ordered all the soldiers to bring water to put out the fire.

Then he summoned a subordinate and asked, "Where is the king of Goguryeo?" ”

The subordinate said: "I was in the palace before, but now I have set it on fire, and his cronies are not there, so I am afraid of escaping." ”

So Huang Zhong discussed with Zhang Fei and Tai Shici: "The king of Goguryeo has fled, and the work of the Eastern Expedition is incomplete. ”

Zhang Fei and Tai Shici listened, where are they willing to do it, the king of Goguryeo is still hiding in the city when the city is broken, isn't that looking for death. It must have escaped. The three of them were responsible for attacking three sides, and only there was no one in Dongcheng. Needless to say, it must have left from Dongcheng. So they all went to the East Side.

Huang Zhong couldn't, so he had to leave the deputy general in the city, and sent someone Pegasus to report to Lu Zhi and let him enter the city to preside over the overall situation. Then the three of them each took their parts and went to the eastern city.

When he arrived at the eastern city, he asked the defender of the city, "Can anyone go out of the city here?" ”

The city gate officer knelt down to meet him and replied, "The king is out of the city here." Went upstream in a big boat. The three of them glanced at each other, and said secretly. So he went out of the city and rushed along the coast to chase after him.

After walking for a while, he suddenly heard the loud sound of joy in front of him, and the golden drums shook together. The people will doubt, but they will move forward. Suddenly, I saw a Han army happily walking back, and the first general in front of him rode on a tall horse with a big iron staff horizontally, triumphant, and looked carefully, it was not that Shamo.

When Huang Zhong saw it, he patted his horse and greeted him: "General Sha, why are you here." ”

Sha Mo grinned and said, "I'm fine in the camp, protecting Lu Taishou." Taishou sent me to lie down here with my son, and instructed me to intercept and attack the Goguryeo people in the city if they escaped. Hehe, we actually caught a big fish, and we caught the king of Goguryeo and his ministers. ”

Generals you look at me, and I look at you. I was frustrated for a while, and I was busy for a long time, and the great credit made this stupid big man fish. Looking at the strings of wet Goguryeo nobles behind Shamo, the three of them didn't want to speak for a moment. Just as he was about to collect his troops and return to the city, suddenly Tai Shici said: "Yuanliu, you come out to see, which one is the king of Goguryeo?" ”

Yuanliu walked out of the Taishi Ci tribe, went to Shamo's side to take a closer look, and replied: "General, there is no King of Goguryeo among these people, and the person wearing the royal robe is the general of the guard of the King of Goguryeo. ”

Shamor was furious, picked up the big iron staff, glared and said, "Who are you?" ”

Yuanliu was so frightened that he was about to kneel, Tai Shici smiled and said: "General Sha, don't be angry, this person is a general of Goguryeo, and he surrendered to our army outside the city because he knew the king of Goguryeo." ”

Sha Mo was not annoyed, and picked up the iron rod and smashed it on the head of the guard general: "Dog thief, I have been busy for a long time to harm your grandfather, let's die!" ”

With a bang, thousands of peach blossoms bloomed. The general of the guard didn't say a word, and his head was smashed into a bloody hole. Yuanliu trembled in fright, and hid from Tai Shici's side again, thinking, this person can't be provoked, can't be provoked.

Everyone grabbed Shamo and asked carefully, it turned out that he saw a fleet coming out of Dongcheng, so he attacked halfway, and Shamo was not stupid, so he chose the largest ship to attack and forced his people. The other boats were either sunk or captured by him, and only a few small boats escaped, and Sarmora thought that the big fish had been caught by himself, and a few miscellaneous fish in the small boat were forgotten. Who would have thought that the big fish used the golden cicada to shed its shell and ran away under his nose. It made him so angry.

After listening to Shamo's speech, Zhang Fei said: "The king of Goguryeo will not be able to run fast if he takes a small boat and travels against the current. And he thinks he has escaped, and there are no pursuers behind him, so he will inevitably relax. I'll chase it later, and I'll be able to catch it. ”

Everyone obeyed his words, so the four of them formed a companion and let Zhang Fei and Tai Shici lead the army to chase along the coast. Huang Zhong and Shamo, who are deep in the water, sail the boat. After marching more than ten miles, Guo saw three small boats in the middle of the river upstream. At this time, the king of Goguryeo had only the queen and two sons by his side, as well as a few ministers who ran fast. After escaping, I was physically and mentally exhausted, and I couldn't help but relax a little for a while. Originally, there were few people, and they were going against the current, so they walked a little slowly, and they wanted to wait for some strength to recover their strength before fleeing for their lives on the shore, but who would have thought that the Han army would catch up so quickly.

Goguryeo's three small boats were so frightened that they rowed desperately, but unfortunately they were already short of strength because they had been struggling for a long time, and they panicked, and the boats actually turned around in the river. Zhang Fei and Tai Shici saw that these guys still wanted to flee on the shore, so they ordered the archers to shoot them. At this time, it has reached the upper reaches of the Mazi River, the river is narrow, and it has reached the range of the Han archers.

At this time, Huang Zhong and Sha Mo also arrived with a naval army. Huang Zhong was about to shout and let the king of Goguryeo descend quickly. Who knew that the king of Goguryeo was on the river, and when he saw the chasing soldiers around him, he looked at the sky and sighed: "This day wants to kill me." Then he had the heart of death, so he grabbed the guard's bow and arrow, and shot indiscriminately at Huang Zhong's side.

Huang Zhong was furious, and instinctively took off his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow, and the king of Goguryeo fell in response. Several wails came from the boat: "King! ”

"Father!"

Huang Zhong shot the king of Goguryeo with an arrow and was full of remorse. A living Goguryeo king is much more useful than a dead Goguryeo king. At that time, he was escorted to Qingzhou to offer prisoners, and there was a lot of scenery. Then the lord sent the king of Goguryeo to Luoyang. What a feat it is to destroy the country and capture the king, the lord will definitely dominate the world. It's a pity that all this was screwed up by themselves.

Huang Zhong collected the body of the king of Goguryeo and returned to the city with the remaining captives and the generals. Seeing Lu Zhi, Huang Zhong bowed and said: "The last general is incompetent, he failed to capture the chieftain alive, and only brought back a corpse. ”

Lu Zhi said: "Break the country, destroy its chieftain, Hansheng has a great merit." ”

So he ordered the shogunate to plan the generals' efforts to conquer the east, and showed them one by one, and the book was played to Qingzhou. Because the king of Goguryeo set fire to the palace, although the rescue was timely, it still inevitably affected the people's houses. The Goguryeo people in the city suffered numerous casualties and suffered heavy losses. Since it has been Han soil, it is natural to be responsible. So he asked Liaodong to run disaster relief materials here.

Liu Bei of Qingzhou was overjoyed when he received Lu Zhi's documents, as well as the golden seal, head, robes and robes of the King of Goguryeo. So Xun Yu and others were summoned to see him. Xun Yu and others came to the pastoral mansion, and when they saw the letter, they were also happy. After more than three months, this battle was finally over. The rest is all about the harvest.

Goguryeo, although there is not much arable land at present, but the Goguryeo people will not develop it. Even if you don't open up wasteland for farming, the minerals, medicinal materials, forests, furs, fishing and hunting, and these resources alone can make Qingzhou happy. It's a real benefit. Moreover, go thousands of miles to the country and cross the sea. In one fell swoop, Goguryeo, which had been harming the border for hundreds of years, beheaded its king and obtained its land, such feats were only comparable to a few people such as Huo Bi, Yao, Ban Dingyuan, etc. With such a lord, Xun Yu and others are naturally honored.

After the euphoria, it's time to get to work. Liu Bei said: "Wenruo, Zida, and Goguryeo are destroyed, but their land and its people still need to be governed by good people." Don't slack off. You discussed it, who do you think can be the Goguryeo Taishou? ”

Xun Yu thought for a while and said, "My lord, Goguryeo is destroyed, and Goguryeo can be incorporated into Xuansu County." It should not be called Goguryeo County, so as not to make its people nostalgic for their homeland. As for Xuanwu Taishou, the former Jiujiang Taishou Bian Wenli, Beihai Xiang Kong Wenju, etc., can all be done. ”

Liu Bei thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Wenli has come to Qingzhou, and he has no intention of being a scholar, and he is only willing to serve in the academy. The same is true of Wenju, these two people are good at talking, elegant people, and they are not suitable for the guard of the border county. ”

Bian Rang went to the academy, and he argued with people all day long, and he never got tired of it. After the Qingzhou Mufu developed Zuo Bo paper, it issued a newspaper, and now the newspaper has also become the position of Confucianism. It's not lively. Kong Rong didn't want to do this Beihai Xiang for a long time. I came to the door again and again to go to the academy. Annoyed Liu Bei.

Everyone summed it up again, and Xun Yu said: "In this expedition to Goguryeo, Huang Hansheng first took Andong City, and then won the king of Goguryeo. And Han Sheng is steady, knows military affairs, and can be too guarded by Xuansu. ”

Liu Bei suddenly remembered the scene when he met Huang Zhong shooting geese that year. For the sake of his son Huang Xu, he did not hesitate to abandon the official and travel to seek medical treatment, and after giving him medicine, he wanted to worship himself as a doorman. Such a loving and righteous man, what is there to do with Xuansu handed it over to him. Besides, with the merits of his trip, no one in the generals dared to say no.

Xun Yu proposed Huang Zhong as a candidate, which in his opinion was the most suitable. Because the Han officials are basically capable of writing and martial arts. But the border county is eventful, and it has always been used as a border general. For example, famous generals such as Cheng Buzhi, Li Guang, and Liangzhou Sanming have all served as Taishou in border counties for many years.

The plan has been decided, so Liu Bei went to the table of Luoyang Tianzi, presented the map of Goguryeo, the head of the king of Goguryeo and the golden seal, and talked about the merits of the generals, showing Huang Zhong as the Xuansu Taishou.

Luoyang Tianzi was surprised and delighted, and the reply was very fast. The rewards are also very face-saving, although they are all false. Before long, the news came out that Liu Bei, the Mu of Qingzhou, sent a general to the east, beheaded the king of Goguryeo, captured more than 100 nobles below the prince and queen, and captured countless slaves, and the Goguryeo Kingdom was destroyed. The world shook.
