Meng Wu looked at Gangyi, who was standing on the edge of the cliff and gazing at the majestic city. Although he was anxious, he did not dare to step forward and urge him.
In half a month, they swept all the way from Yan area without losing a single soldier.
Of course there is the power of cannons and muskets!
But Meng Wu saw clearly that the strategy of Lord Du was more important.
He was filled with admiration, and secretly understood why his father led the army to Korea with Marshal Li first, and left the task of destroying the more dangerous Goguryeo to Du Yu.
The sound of horse hooves sounded.
Meng Wu looked back and saw the person coming. He immediately looked at Du Yu and said, "Master Du, it's General An."
Du Yu nodded slightly and looked back.
The general, who was extremely burly but looked like someone from Mobei, dismounted from his horse and clasped his fists towards Du Yu: "Sir! It's time to give the order!"
Du Yu looked back at the city and shook his head, saying, "It's not the right time yet. Wait a little longer."
This general named An Fubo had been imprisoned before because he was one of the fierce generals under the Eighth Prince. However, when Zhang Jue rebelled, he was almost killed because of his opposition. Later, when the Eighth Prince's subordinates were liquidated, this resolute general voluntarily went to prison.
However, he was rescued by Du Yu and joined the army.
Hearing Du Yu's words, An Fubo immediately spoke up: "Sir, the soldiers are eager to destroy Marudu Mountain City. Our enemies in Yan are not only Mobei, but also Goguryeo! The soldiers' morale is rising as they march north. Now is the time to destroy Marudu Mountain City and capture the King of Goguryeo alive!"
Du Yu did not look back, still looking at the Wandu Mountain City: "In that city, in addition to the 130,000 troops, there are also hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo people. From today on, those people are all my people of Daxia. After today's battle, it will take them a long time to eliminate these hatreds."
An Fubo knew what Du Yu meant and spoke immediately: "Your Excellency said that only by not distinguishing between host and guest can we completely recover Goguryeo. I understand, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, and we will change if we delay."
As he swept across the country, Du Yu insisted on not killing people in many places and let the people of Goguryeo become Xia people. In other words, these places were all Xia lands, and anyone who was willing to become a Xia person on Xia land would be a citizen of Great Xia.
None of the generals opposed these policies. After all, they all understood that a military strategist who does not govern a country does not know the difficulty of governing a country.
And they all knew that the plan of His Majesty and His Majesty was to turn the territory of Goguryeo into the arable land of our Great Xia, and historical records showed that Goguryeo was indeed able to grow a large amount of grain.
but now
The generals can’t take care of this!
Be it the military merit in destroying other countries, or the grievances they had suffered from the people of Mobei and the Eighth Prince in the past few months or even this year, they had felt extremely comfortable in the past half month!
With artillery and muskets in the front, we have never fought such an easy battle!
But he had been holding back the frustration in his heart, hoping to vent it out completely the moment the King of Goguryeo was officially captured!
But Du Yu delayed giving the order, so there were traces!
Du Yu looked at the man and the horseman who rode out of the Wandu Mountain City, turned back to look at An Fubo and said with a smile: "General An, please be patient and wait a little longer."
An Fubo wanted to speak again.
At the same time, Meng Wu said, "General An, the Lord has sent people into the city."
An Fubo frowned: "That's three times already!"
Du Yu turned his head, but did not look at An Fubo. Instead, he still looked at the city and the man on horseback with a serious expression.
The lives of so many people in that city were in his hands.
Although they had reached this point so easily and were about to destroy Goguryeo, no one knew the pressure in Du Yu's heart.
suddenly
Du Yu saw that the man and his horse had arrived at the foot of the mountain, and they took out a large red flag and waved it continuously.
Du Yu's heart sank, and he looked towards the location of the Marudu Mountain City. "Meng Wu, pass the order, the entire army can attack. Once the city is broken, the entire army will attack. It doesn't matter whether the King of Goguryeo is captured alive or not, but I want to see their heads."
When Meng Wu and An Fubo heard this, they were stunned.
The next moment Meng Wu immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"
An Fubo even planned to turn around.
And Du Yu continued, "General An."
An Fubo turned around immediately.
Du Yu continued, "Pass the order down. Your Majesty and the Queen, please forgive us and don't kill anyone. I, Du Yu, will privately order that after entering the city, anyone who takes up arms to resist will be an enemy of Daxia. In addition to killing the person, their entire clan will be exterminated!"
An Fubo looked at Du Yu's calm expression and decided not to kill those who resisted, but to exterminate their entire clan!
And it was said that it was Du Yu who gave the order privately.
这 是
Do you want to take the blame for the genocide on yourself?
An Fubo's heart trembled as he looked at this scholar, "I will obey your orders!"
A soldier heard this and said, "Sir, they are still unwilling to surrender after three chances. There must be many people who resist. If we really wipe out their clan, too many people will die. Then we will..."
Du Yu looked at the city. The three chances were not for Du Yu to be lenient, but for him to give himself an explanation.
Because they had known for a long time that Goguryeo would not surrender. If it was willing to surrender, it would have surrendered long ago.
So Du Yu had already made a very bad plan.
But since he had already taken up weapons and led his troops to fight, this very bad plan was actually nothing, so Du Yu didn't care.
And since we are going to start killing.
We must not leave any hidden dangers, and if we kill them, we must kill them all.
Du Yu said softly, "According to the time, General Li and General Meng should have also razed the Korean city. Compared with the destruction of the Uighurs in Mobei, we are much faster."
After saying that, looking at the staff officer's expression, Du Yu spoke: "It's good for the guest to surrender in the host's land, but what if the guest doesn't listen? From now on, this is the territory of Daxia. We are the host, and those who don't recognize our position in Daxia are all guests. It is my responsibility as the commander-in-chief to kill all the hidden dangers. If I don't kill them all and insist on not distinguishing between host and guest to completely occupy Goguryeo, and let the rebellion continue, that would be the real crime. So just do it, and I, as the commander-in-chief, will be responsible for everything!"
boom!
Just as Du Yu finished speaking, the sound of artillery fire suddenly rang out.
Du Yu looked back at the scene of the city being bombed.
"Your Majesty, I, the guilty minister Du Yu, have fulfilled my mission and used the artillery and muskets invented by Your Majesty to destroy Goguryeo in 18 days. Now the Uighurs have not been destroyed in Mobei."
……
The city of Joseon is located here. Now the Wang family has the final say in Joseon, but all the members of the Wang family, including their king, are kneeling on the ground at this moment.
Around them, Li Xuance and Meng Qin were sitting on their horses, looking down at them, and also at the hundreds of Korean officials who were kneeling down behind them.
Meng Qin rode his horse and glanced over, looking at the Korean flag that had not fallen yet, without saying a word.
Surrender, but do not lower the flag.
In the past, Korea was part of the territory of Bactria. However, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, the people of Silla, which was still Silla at the time, rebelled and killed the small number of Bactria troops stationed there, and re-established their country. However, Silla was destroyed by its own people at that time, and today's Korea was established.
Later, because Daxia was always involved in the entanglement of Mobei and Tubo, and with Goguryeo in the middle, it never paid attention to Korea, which led to the existence of Korea until the present generation.
This is actually an account, which is recorded in the Menxia Province and the Ministry of War.
Li Xuance lifted the chin of the King of Korea with his spear and asked, "Do you plan to continue to be a vassal like before and change the name of your country to Daxia Korea?"
The King of Joseon didn't know how to answer, so he just looked around at the ministers around him.
"We are willing to submit to Daxia and change our name to Daxia Dynasty"
The minister had just opened his mouth and was about to lie on the ground in surrender, but was pierced through by Li Xuance's spear.
Li Xuance said, "They were like this before, and then they betrayed us when they saw we were weak. Are they doing this again? This time they are colluding with the Mobei people and the Japanese to invade us while we are at war. Do you think this is possible?"
boom!
Li Xuance swung his spear and threw the Korean minister out.
Meng Qin put his hand on the hilt of the knife and said, "You surrendered but still hung your flag. Are you still thinking about rebelling again?"
As he spoke, the old general drew out the knife in his hand.
What is the meaning of destroying a country?
Make it disappear.
What does it mean that the territory belongs to Daxia?
Make it disappear completely!
"Your servant, Li Xuance, was able to conquer Korea in 23 days under the command of Qin. 20 days were spent on the road, and the country was conquered in 3 days, with less than a dozen soldiers and horses lost."
……
A king was drunk in the arms of a beautiful woman, and he kept muttering that the fault was not his.
The woman reached out and gently kneaded the man's cheek. Previously in the hall, the generals all looked pale, and the civil officials jointly suggested going out of the city to present the jade seal.
Of the two countries, Goguryeo and Korea, one refused to surrender, while the other surrendered immediately after hearing that its army was wiped out in an instant.
This may be the case with the monarchs of the two countries, but I don't know the details.
just
Far away in the western part of the northern desert, the huge capital of the Uighur Khanate was also surrounded by countless soldiers, and it had been like this for more than a month.
Under the throne of the royal city, the ministers had gloomy faces and countless people showed fear.
On the throne, the king who once ruled a country as big as Daxia and Mobei Wangtingnuo, was surrounded by women. He leaned on the throne with his chest bare, holding a wine glass in his hand, and said nothing.
"Your Majesty, please disguise yourself and go to Dunhuang, and then go to Luo'an, Daxia, to ask the emperor of Daxia for protection. Daxia and our country have never had any grudges, and we even helped Daxia when the previous emperor was alive, so the emperor of Daxia will definitely help us restore our country. This is the only strategy!"
"If we wait until the Mobei people completely break through the city gates, they will surely burn, kill and loot. The royal family and all the women will surely be humiliated. It will be worse than death! So please make a decision quickly, Your Majesty!"
A Uighur royal with a knife on his waist spoke loudly to the Uighur king on the throne.
Even as he was speaking, the Uighur officials in the royal court wore masks showing fear, disgust, and indifference, with different expressions.
Chapter 701 Will the Empress and Queen of Daxia also witness the destruction of their country?
Someone stood up, wearing armor, obviously a military commander, "What a joke! You actually want me, the Uighur Khan, to flee to another country like a stray dog, and to Daxia!"
Afterwards, the general turned and looked in the direction of the Uighur Khan: "King! The people in the city are united as one. After recruiting the people, we still have 100,000 soldiers and horses who are willing to defend the capital to the death in a month. Moreover, there is abundant food and grass in the city. As long as we hold our ground and wait for the reinforcements from the various tribes to arrive, we will surely drive back the Mobei army!"
The man who spoke before laughed and said, "Wuertu, why do you think that our ragtag group of 100,000 people can stop the hundreds of thousands of troops from Mobei outside! Moreover, the tribes of the reinforcements have surrendered long ago. Now the Mobei army will launch a general attack tomorrow. In my opinion, we can't hold out tomorrow. What guarantees can you give!"
