Chapter 16: Reaping a Great Budget (")

The summer night is particularly long. When the rising sun gradually rises, the mountain city seems to have suddenly come alive, and the whole city begins to become noisy.

However, when many early woodcutters and merchants rushed out of the city to the gate, they realized that the sky had changed overnight. The familiar guards at the gate were gone, and they were replaced by soldiers with strange faces but murderous aura. The exquisite equipment made them feel different from the past.

As soon as he reached the city gate, a leader of the soldier shouted loudly in words that he couldn't understand. Only the merchants who were traveling around the world heard that the soldier spoke authentic Chinese Mandarin Chinese, and he was even more shocked and suspicious for a moment. The soldier shouted loudly at them, pointing to a notice on the wall next to him.

A group of Goguryeo people who got up early and were about to leave the city had to surround the notice written in two languages, Goguryeo and Great Sui. A well-informed merchant looked at it and read it to everyone, "The land of Liaodong, from the beginning of China and the Zhou Dynasty, was the land of the Central Plains. Since the Han Dynasty, it was rewarded to the Gao family of the Goguryeo royal family. However, the Gao family of Goguryeo was not greedy enough. They took advantage of the troubled times of the Central Plains to secretly occupy the land of Liaodong as their own, and refused to bow to the Emperor of Great Sui. Now, His Majesty of Great Sui led a million soldiers to conquer Gao personally.

Juli. The royal family of Goguryeo, Sagaoqi, knew that my emperor was here in person, and bowed to my head to the Great Sui Dynasty. From now on, the new city will restore the original existence of China. All the people in the city must be kept in peace. All the people in the city are not allowed to leave the city for the time being and gather for no reason. They will sit at home. If there are any orders, they will follow the law to commit crimes of treason and behead them. The whole family will be executed, and the five households will be neighbors, and the family will be rebelled, and the five households will be beheaded. In the ninth year of Daye of the Great Sui Dynasty, Chen Kefu, the general of Yingyang Lang, the army camp of the Great Sui Dynasty.

As the sky became brighter and brighter, more and more people gathered in Goguryeo City at the gate of the city, and most of them already knew what was going on. The prince surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, and now the place is under the jurisdiction of the Great Sui Dynasty. Each family is not allowed to go out to join forces, otherwise the whole family will be beheaded according to the crime of treason and rebellion, and five households will be held in a row.

For a moment, the content of the announcement soon spread to everyone's ears. Many timid people no longer dared to stay here and turned back to their homes. For them, it doesn't matter which one of the King of Goguryeo or the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, they were both concerned. It's important to be a matter of life.

Only a few people were still surrounded there and refused to leave. Most of these people were nobles in the city. Soon, a sound of horse hooves sounded, and a team of Sui cavalry rushed over, one of which was holding a big gong in his hand, and was constantly beating. A surrendered Goguryeo soldier opened his throat and kept shouting, "Everyone should get up immediately and go home immediately, and no orders are allowed to go out, otherwise they will be punished as a crime of treason."

The rest of the cavalry all set their bows and arrows in their hands, as if someone would shoot them in disobedience.

An old man dressed in gorgeous clothes is the owner of the silk shop in the east of the city. He usually relies on his eldest son, a Mokeng in the army in the new city. He has always been rich and unkind. He always has the look of being unable to mess with in the new city. At this time, he saw a few soldiers who dared to hang bows at him and said arrogantly, "My son is Mokeng. If you dare to face me like this, I will let someone break your legs, you untouched people."

Goguryeo fought for years, and Goguryeo was also composed of nobles, civilians and slaves, while most of the soldiers in the army were civilians and slaves. In the past, this boss was like this for those Goguryeo soldiers, but at this time he couldn't help but take it out again.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cavalry riding on the horse shot his forehead with an arrow. The owner of the silk shop fell to the ground with an unbelievable look, his eyes wide open. All the words in the world were no longer threatening death. The threat of death was stronger. The person who was standing there was still standing there, saw that Sui Bing shot Zhao Yuanwai from the east of the city without saying a word. For a moment, no one who was not afraid of death dared to stay there. They all had pale faces and trotted back to their homes with their calves.

The cavalry who had just shot Zhao Yuanwai had just done something insignificant, put away their bows and continued to declare the Sui army notice to all the residents in the city along the street.

In the past, the Goguryeo Camp in the north of the city would have been carried out in the morning, and the sound was heard half of the new city. However, this morning the sun was already in the air, but the camp was still quiet. It seemed that all the soldiers were still sleeping last night, and occasionally one or two teams of soldiers appeared, but they were also soldiers wearing Sui army armor.

The main accountant of the Central Army in Beidaying, Goguryeo City, was once the place where Gao Qi came to some troops every morning. Although he only stayed here for a few hours every day, this account was still magnificent and extremely generous.

The chief general of the Pojun camp, Chen Pojun, sat neatly in the armor where Gao Qi sat in the past, and two rows of generals stood on both sides of the tent. Except for a few lieutenants who were staying at important posts, all the officers above the team gathered here.

Gao Qi and the surrendered generals of Goguryeo, who first surrendered to the Sui army, stood in the lowest position, and everyone lowered their heads. Every Sui general could not control his excitement and excitement on his face. There was no reason not to be excited. They broke into the military camp and made great contributions.

"Last night, Ling Chen, we were led into the camp under the order of the general. The nine thousand Goguryeo soldiers were all drunk and unconscious. They were easily tied up by us. They were still thrown into the warehouse behind them. Many of them have not woken up yet. I guess they don't even know what happened. A few who are still awake and resisting, we all killed them on the spot. Lord, the new city has completely fallen into my hands. The new city has 20,000 Goguryeo soldiers, including more than 200 yamen runners, were all taken down. In addition to the more than 900 people, the 20,000 Goguryeo soldiers were wiped out. In addition to the more than 900 people, the 20,000 Goguryeo soldiers were also killed.

More than 3,000 people were injured, and more than 16,000 soldiers and generals were all captured. This time, nearly 10,000 war horses, more than 3,000 cows, ten thousand heads of Mingguang armor, more than 200,000 stones of grain, and countless other military equipment. In addition, there are more than 10,000 households in Xincheng, with a population of more than 60,000. General, this is the last victory before our Three Great Sui Dynasty to the Goguryeo." Although Sima Zhao Cheng in the Pojun Camp Army was a civil servant, he was still a hero who had been on the battlefield several times. At this time, he was also wearing armor and holding an account book in his hand, and excitedly reported the results of the battle loudly.

When Chen Kefu heard that he had captured more than 10,000 war horses, more than 3,000 cattle, ten thousand armors, and more than 200,000 stones of grain. This harvest was really the most surprising and unexpected thing for him. Twenty stones of grain could be used for at least 20,000 troops in a year, which was a great gift. The food and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Sui army had to be transported from the Central Plains. Ten stones of grain were transported from the Central Plains, and finally transported to Liaodong was nearly ten times more. Now, there was a sudden increase of such a large portion of grain and grass, which saved the Sui army a lot of trouble.

"Can the prince tell me why there are so many food and supplies in this new city?"

Gao Qi said with a wry smile, "Since the war with the Great Sui Dynasty, King Goguryeo has ordered all the Liaodong fronts to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, strengthen the mountain cities, moved a large number of surrounding tribes and villagers into the city, and stored a large amount of materials from the rear into each city. According to King Goguryeo's plan, there are enough food for the whole city to eat for one year in each city, so as to drag the straits to conquer the Sui army."

I went, Chen Kefu cursed hatefully in his heart. It turned out that the Goguryeo people had already decided on the strategy of retreating and relying on those strong mountain cities to play a defensive battle with the Sui army and a protracted battle. Thinking about the several failures of the Sui army in history in the conquest of Goguryeo, most of them were defeated here.

Chen Kefu stood up and shouted, "This time I made such achievements in the first battle in the military camp. It is thanks to my emperor's blessing. I will reward you in terms of merits and rewards in the future. Lord Wang Lin, the military counselor, obeyed the order!"

"I'm here!"

Chen Kefu handed him a note in his hand and said, "This is the detailed seal of the new city of Pojun Camp this time. The military achievements of the soldiers are recorded here. Now you immediately bring a team of people to Liaodong City and report your victory to Your Majesty. Please send a soldier and horse to you as soon as possible. It is quite difficult for me, the three thousand soldiers of Pojun Camp to guard such a big city. Take Gao Qi with you, take care of him on the road, and go back quickly."
