Chapter 108

Zhu Xiaoshan's army had little resistance and was trampled clean by Zu Zhao's iron horse. And he himself was shot down from the horse with an arrow by Zu Zhao, and then was trampled into meat mud by the war horse. As soon as Zhu Xiaoshan died, the rest of his troops basically surrendered.

The most indispensable thing on the battlefield is killing, and what is more important is to cherish life in the final analysis.

Zu Zhao was cheerful and didn't care about it. He waved all his hands and collected them. Those who were willing to go home were allowed to go back by themselves. Those who were willing to stay were included. As long as they did not commit any crime, they were basically treated equally with the troops they brought out. Gradually, the remaining prisoners in Goguryeo changed their views on Zu Zhao. , is also admiring him from the bottom of his heart, but they still don't do this kind of thing to help Zu Zhao beat the people in their own country. I only do some logistics work in the army.

Zu Zhao knew that this was their integrity and didn't care about it. He just let them go.

The vice generals also agree with this.

After the victory of the small battle outside Yanyun Pass, Zu Zhao began to march urgently, and the route turned out to be straight to the capital of Goguryeo. He changed his previous fighting style and became vigorous. Wherever he passed, there was nothing to stop him, like a sudden wind. Goguryeo can't resist at all.

In fact, there is a reason for all this.

Just after Zu Zhaoyanyun Pass, he received a scout sent to find the whereabouts of Quanzhiyu's army, saying that Quanzhiyu's troops mysteriously disappeared near Changbai Mountain, and it was likely that they were completely annihilated by Goguryeo and the queen was captured.

This is undoubtedly the worst news. The only thing that gratified Zu Zhao is that Quan Zhiyu is the Queen of Silla, so even if she is captured, the barren country of Goguli will make a lot of money in order to make a lot of money from this, so it will not do anything to Quan Zhiyu.

In order to stabilize the regime, the elders of Silla suppressed the news and threatened Goguryeo. If they dare to reveal the capture of the queen, they would break the boat and set up a new king.

Of course, the following sentence is just a expedient measure to prevent Quan Zhiyu from being wronged in Goguryeo, but Zu Zhao is still very unhappy and blames himself.

If you don't drag yourself into the water, there will be no such problem at all. Therefore, this led him to the sudden march and vigorous fighting style. The reason is very simple, only two words - to save people.

He believes that as long as the whole Yu is rescued, all this will be solved. Of course, we still want to destroy Goguryeo.

In this battle, Zu Zhao also felt that the country was not as weak as it showed, and many places were easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the destruction of the city had ruined his mind, but even so, it did not suppress his progress at all.

What's more valuable is that after he broke the city, he never burned, looted, or even slaughtered the city like other troops. This kind of thing has never happened to Zu Zhao. Moreover, he ruled strictly, and the soldiers were basically obedient.

However, people are separated from each other. No matter how good the army is, there will always be one or two soldiers.

When Zu Zhao broke Li Jingcheng this day, the soldiers who came out flirted with the good women and almost forced the girl to die. If Zu Zhao didn't meet this matter, it would be fine. The people around him were all friends who knew each other. If he closed one eye, the matter would pass.

But it should be the man's bad luck. It happened that he met the depressed Zu Zhao that day. Seeing that there were many people around, Zu Zhao went over and asked. Seeing a girl with disheveled clothes, he cried and grabbed a soldier, saying that he was mean to her and stained her innocence.

As soon as Zu Zhao saw that the man was wearing his military uniform, he immediately squeezed in and kicked the man's chest. The arrogant man just flew out and knocked down in front of the stone steps of a shop on the roadside. He gasped like a dying dog, but still scolded: "Old man Ge, do you know who I am?! I am the centurion under the command of General Zhenyuan. If you treat me like this, I must report it to the general to make you look good!"

Zu Zhao sneered and said, "I don't remember that I have a shameful dead dog like you!"

When the man heard this, his face turned pale with fear and trembled with fear when he crawled on the ground. And his friends also came up to plead for him.

Zu Zhao learned about the general situation and found that the centurion was really wrong. After defiling the girl's innocence, he was furious, so he squatted down to help the girl up. Then ask her what she wants to do with the man.

The girl was bullied by the army of the Han Dynasty, and now she is not very popular with Zu Zhao, a general, so she said angrily, "Can you do it if I want him to die?"

Zuzuo laughed: "Simple!"

After saying that, he took out the sword at his waist and threw it directly at the man. He stabbed a sword and was nailed to the ground. The centurion was stunned on the spot, and all the onlookers were amazed and sighed. What was amazed was the courage and posture of what Zu Zhao said and did. What he felt was that his country did not govern such a strict general. He realized that it was reasonable to lose the battle, and he admired Zu Zhao very much.

After killing the centurion, Zu Zhao asked someone to collect his body, took down the money bag around his waist, and gave a whole bag of broken silver to the frivolous woman: "Girl, it was his fault that he took action against you, and it was also the result of my strict rule. Now people have also killed him. I hope you can relieve your anger and forget those unpleasant things. But since he followed me out to march to fight, I still can't leave this bone to you. Please forgive me. After saying that, he hugged his fist apologetically and turned around and left.

People looked at his departing back and expressed it with admiration in their hearts. Such a righteous general is lucky!

Two days later, Zu Zhao went north of the city and went straight to the Marudu City. The people of Lijing unexpectedly opened the gate, and even some people sent some dry food and fruits to the army, which were directly stuffed to the soldiers and left. And the girl who was helped by Zu Zhao that day even followed the army for more than a day. The scale of the people's hearts has completely favored Zu Zhao.

Zu Zhao didn't like it, but it was still the original style, because he was worried about the whole thing. For this reason, the scouts were sent out in waves. However, Marudu City seemed to be very well defended, and there was no news about the scouts he sent out.

Finally, the night before the capital of Binglinwan, the scout finally got news, but it was not good news.

When Zhu Chuanxin, the king of Goguryeo, learned that Quan Zhiyu and Zu Zhao had united to attack Goguryeo, he had already thought about threatening Zu Zhao's life to force Zu Zhao to retreat and let Zu Zhao stay alone.

So, this is the news brought back by the scout.

On the day when the soldiers came under the city, Zu Zhao could see Quan Zhiyu on the wall of Marudu City. As long as he orders to attack the city, Quan Zhiyu will fall from the 100-foot wall and splash blood on the spot.

Zu Zhaoqi smashed the wooden table in front of him with one punch and scolded King Li for being despicable and shameless, which was hateful!

Zhang Yu was also full of righteous indignation and said, "General, it's not a matter if it goes on like this. Why don't my brother and I sneak in and steal the queen out, otherwise we can't fight this battle. If the queen dies because of us, then Silla will be the enemy.

Zuzu Zhao doesn't know this. Therefore, Quan Zhiyu must not die. Yu Gong is the queen of Silla, and she is his wife. Both emotionally and rationally, Zu Zhao knows that she must not die.

However, if this is the case, the troops must be retired.

has arrived here. If you exit, it will be to give up the territory you have captured before and do a long-distance attack, and hundreds of brothers will die in vain! Zu Zhao is unwilling.

Seeing Zu Zhao silent, Zhang Yuan also stood up and said, "General, my brother is right. Let's go. This matter is of great importance. If you don't try, you will retreat like this tomorrow. The brothers will be too unwilling. But if we can't steal the queen, there is nothing we can do. Let's think of other countermeasures.

"Alas, it's not that I don't agree with your idea," Zu Zhao sighed, "It's just that this pill capital is well-guarded. If there is a case, I will lose my wife and a compromise..." Zu Zhao contacted with a face and didn't want Zhang Yuan and others to take risks.

"General, you once said that the benefits that can't be obtained without taking risks are never the best." Zhang Yuan said, "This time, please let us go!"

Zu Zhao was very hesitant, but after thinking about it for a long time, he found that there seemed to be only one way to choose, so he nodded heavily: "Remember, safety first, even if you can't save it, you two must come back safely."

"General, don't worry! We will definitely complete the task!" Zhang pre-hugged boxing.

"Remember, there are two tasks, the first is a necessary task, that is, you must come back alive; the second is to save the Queen of Silla, and this is an optional task, which must be based on the first. Do you understand?!" Zu Zhao told him.

The two brothers were moved and agreed seriously. Immediately, he left the camp with the scouts.

The scout can easily get in and out of Wandu City, and also knows the position where Quan Zhiyu is imprisoned, so it is most appropriate for the two brothers to follow him.

This night, Zu Zhao stayed up all night in the camp and got up from time to time to see if Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu's brothers had come back, but they did not see anyone until dawn. His heart sank inch by inch, and he regretted how he agreed to the brothers.

The rescue of the whole dog can actually be discussed in the long-term, but it is difficult to find a good general!

However, now that the decision has been made, all he can do now is wait for news.

When the sun rose, Zu Zhao stood at the gate outside the barracks. Suddenly, he saw two fast horses flying in front of him, all dressed in night clothes, and behind them, there were clearly some pursuers chasing them.

Zu Zhao's eyes were bright, and he immediately turned over and shouted to more than a dozen soldiers on the left and right vigil: "Vice General Zhang comes back. There are pursuers behind them. Go and help!" Before he finished speaking, he had already taken the lead in rushing out. The long sword in his hand made a roaring sound in the wind. He clearly saw that Zhang Yuan's horse still had a large cloth bag. The bag looked like a person, and he was even more happy. It seemed that the two brothers had succeeded!

He suddenly became sleepless, and only felt that his whole body was full of strength. The people who rushed to chase Zhang Yuan and others were murderous.

In just one round, Zu Zhao had killed two, and at this time, the reinforcements behind him also arrived, surrounded several pursuers in the middle and killed them all.

And Zu Zhao has returned and can't wait to see the people Zhang Yuan brought back.

As a result, after arriving at the main account, he walked in and saw Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu kneeling there, and the black cloth bag containing people was really casually thrown aside.

Zhang Yuan and Zhang pre-hearsed and turned their heads. Seeing that it was Zu Zhao, they immediately felt guilty and said, "The last general has humiliated his mission and has not rescued Queen Silla. Please punish the general!"

Zu Zhao was stunned for a moment: "You didn't save Queen Silla, so who is this?" He pointed to the black bag on the ground and was a little confused, but his heart was still more lost. However, that loss can never be put on the face. That would chill the hearts of the soldiers.

"This is the son of King Goguryeo," Zhang Yuan sighed. "The garrison where Queen Silla is located is too strict to sneak in at all, but he is not willing to come out like this, so he took the son of King Goguryeo. I don't know if it's useful or not. The emperor's sons are generally many. If he doesn't pay much attention to, it may be useless..."

At this time, Zu Zhao's eyes lit up. He quickly walked over, opened the bag, pulled out the teenager inside, and immediately rejoiced: "Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yu, you have done a fucking job! If this is really the prince of Goguryeo, then we will definitely be able to exchange for the Queen of Silla! Zhu Chuanxin is already thin. Although he is over half a hundred years old, he has only one son under his knees. Now that you have him, it is simply his **, haha! Without a son, it is useless for him to guard the royal city. There is no successor!"

When the road turned back, Zhang Yuan and Zhang listened. After looking at each other, they laughed and laughed. The two simply fell directly to the ground and fell asleep. Because of the long-distance attack and fighting for wisdom and courage one night, their physical strength was basically at their limit.

Zuzu Zhao was shocked to see them like this and immediately called the military doctor to examine them. After the examination, the military doctor told Zu Zhao that only Zhang had suffered a little skin trauma and the rest were unscathed. The two were just tired and slept now. Zu Zhao was relieved and ordered the brothers to help ** to sleep and cover them with a quilt in person.

The prince of Goguryeo was carefully watched.

Because the robbery of the hostages was delayed, on the third day, Zu Zhao's army finally came to the city. They first sent a loud voice to scold, and it wasn't long before the king of Goguryeo appeared on the tower.

can come so soon, which means that you must have been waiting for a long time.

As usual, Zhu Chuanxin negotiated with Zu Zhao as soon as he came up and asked him to withdraw from the army. Zu Zhao naturally sneered and didn't want to. At this time, Zhu Chuanxin asked people to bring out the whole shud of plain face, black hair and shawl. It is said that if Zu Zhao does not surrender, he will kill Quan Zhiyu.

In fact, Zhu Chuanxin has basically guessed that his son is in Zu Zhao's hands, but he still has some hope. After all, he has not seen Zu Zhao bring his son with him, so he naturally has to play cards.

Zuzuo sneered disdainly, hooked his fingers behind him, and Zhang Yuan escorted the little prince out.

The child is only 14 or 15 years old. Because of his usual upbringing, he has never seen such a battle. He was so scared that he cried and only shouted, "Father, save me!" He was put on Zhang Yuan's horse. Suddenly, Zhang Yuan smelled a stench. After being stunned, he immediately lifted the little prince down.

"Fuck! Are you a man? You can still pee at this time! What a bear thing." Zhang Yuan looked disgusted. After lifting the prince off the horse, the long gun was directly on his neck, "Don't move, it will directly kill you!"

Zhu Chuanxin on the tower didn't know the reason, but as soon as he saw that the young general beside Zu Zhao really wanted to kill his son, he was immediately scared and shouted "unable". When he shouted, the morale of the Goguryeo army was much lower. The king was timid in court, and it was not a good thing to listen to it.

Zu Zhao shouted, "After letting go of Queen Silla, I let go of His Royal Highness. How about this business?"

Zhu Chuanxin just wanted to answer, but was pulled by the staff around him. The staff told him that Zu Zhao would definitely save Quan Zhiyu. Since the hostages must be exchanged, it would be better to let them retreat to the border of Liaodong and Gaoguli to exchange. In this way, they could not fight again.

This was a two-pronged strategy, but Zhu Chuanxin was furious when he heard it and felt that the staff had not considered the little prince at all: "Is Zu Zhao a good stubble? He will definitely be angry with Yuer for him. What do I think?"

"My king, if you can't bear it, you will make a mess. The little prince may suffer a little, but there will never be a risk of his life, just like we dare not kill Queen Silla."

"Shut up, it's not your son. Of course you won't feel sad!" Zhu Chuanxin lost his son, just like he lost his backbone, and suddenly became a furious parent.

The staff saw this and stopped talking.

When Zhu Chuanxin saw that the staff did not say anything, he found that what he said was right, so he asked Zu Zhao to withdraw from the army for how many miles and then hand over the people. The two sides bargained, and the result was settled in Li Jingcheng to exchange hostages.

Zu Zhao's 80,000 army returned to Li Jingcheng. The people in the city had a good impression of Zu Zhao and directly opened the gate to welcome him, as if they directly recognized Zu Zhao as the master, but when Wang Jun came, the gate was closed.

The transaction was finally completed outside the city.

Quan Zhiyu returned to Zu Zhao and was quickly protected. And the little prince also returned it to Zhu Chuanxin.

After Zhu Chuanxin got the hostage, he launched an attack directly outside the city.

Zu Zhao actually planned to do it, but he didn't expect him to do it first. He was overjoyed. He immediately ordered people to spread the news that the royal army was attacking the city and may even slaughter the city, while he took the soldiers to defend the city wall, as if he was going to protect the people of the city. This move laid the foundation for his complete annexation of Goguryeo. The people in the city loved him very much. Even on the night of the decisive battle, they directly elected him as the city lord and crowned him with a wreath.

Needless to say, after Zu Zhao defeated the royal army, he rose up and hunted for the people in the city to live for a long time, completely occupied the Marudu City, ending the history of the Zhu royal family in Goguryeo for more than 100 years. Goguryeo completely became the world of Zu Zhao, and the people's hearts were towards him and honored him.

And Quan Zhiyu was sent back to Silla after a short time with Zu Zhao. She had been saddened by the destruction of her troops, so Zu Zhao directly gave her the jurisdiction of Goguryeo. However, this is all in the future.
