81 The Loyalty
"This..." The chief clerk wanted to speak and stopped: "Your Highness should decide for himself."
"You are all uncles, and your family will not say anything. One hundred thousand is urgent, and it is related to life and death. Don't cover it up." Ba Qiyan said.
When the words came to the ground, the five sects of Jue Nu stood up and said, "Your Highness, why not send horses to Liangkou quickly and take it away by the king."
"The domestic city (Yu Nayan City) is destroyed every once in a while, and it can be seen that the troops of Ji State are advancing quickly." Shunnujia, the five sects, shook his head and said, "If you send a message to Liangkou again, it may not be enough."
Guan Nujia, the Five Sects, looked around and stood up suddenly: "Your Highness, why not open the city and surrender to the Han Dynasty?"
"No!" Jue Nu hurriedly stopped him: "The king is sending troops out, how can we surrender to the Han Dynasty privately?"
"The army of Ji State went out several ways and surrounded them on all sides. First intercepted the waterway and then cut off the rear. How to defend the lonely city." Guan Nujia retorted: "Besides, although our country is large in area, it is only more than 200,000 people. I heard that Ji State offered a fee last year, more than 630 million. There were already five million people in the country. The national strength was so different, how could it be defeated? King Ji fought east and west, and fought south and north. The Great Shanyu Tan Shihuai controlled Xian 100,000, and was defeated in one day. The Xianbei King was defeated. The Wuhuan King Shanggu was unloaded, and more than 9,000 people fell. However, the border of Chen soldiers annoyed King Ji and was defeated with one blow. The whole family was captured and the clan was plundered. The three counties Wuhuan, and there were no more people from Shanggu. There were millions and three Hans..."
There is no need to say much about Ji Country's strength. The tent sighs for a while.
"I heard that King Mahan Chen has surrendered to the Han Dynasty. King Ji has received great courtesy. He still ordered him to be king and establish the vassal state of the Zhenfan Mahan. I wonder if it is true?" Baqi asked.
Subconsciously glanced at Baqi, and the chief clerk nodded slightly: "It's true."
After a moment, Baqi stood up slowly: "Although my father ordered me to supervise the country, Baqi was young and did not dare to take on this important task alone. Today's affairs should be followed by your uncles and uncles. Whether to fight or surrender, whether to defend or abandon. Please make your decision."
"So..." Guan Nujia, who stayed behind the five sects, then said, "Submit."
"Fight to the death." Gui Loujia, who had never spoken out, finally made a statement. Gui Lou's tribe was the source of the Goguryeo royal family. King Bogu of Goguryeo stayed with Gui Loujia, and in order to monitor the eldest prince Baqi, Gui Loujia had to reveal his thoughts.
Everyone in the tent made their statements one after another.
Half of them surrendered to the war.
Baqi glanced at him and then spoke in tears: "The country is about to be destroyed, and loyalty and treacherous are not distinguished. Those who want to surrender should stay for the time being. Those who want to fight should leave first."
The Lord surrendered to the side, Guan Nujia and others, and his expression changed when he heard the sound. The eldest prince refused to let me go, so he had already felt like he was harming!
The main battle against one side, Gui Loujia and others showed joy. The eldest prince is worthy of the royal warriors. He is in trouble and should first eliminate the ministers who are two-minded!
Thinking of this, Gui Loujia and others were full of energy and each took out their own accounts. The chief clerk was about to follow, but his heart was shocked and he suddenly stood still.
Suddenly I heard the arch strings outside the tent.
Screaming in succession.
Then the intelligent man wanted to turn around and return to the tent, but was chopped into meat paste by the swords and axes from all over the place.
The knife cuts the axe and slashes, and the blood collapses like rain.
Everyone in the tent had no blood on their faces.
After a moment, when there was no sound outside the tent, Gui Loujia and others were thrown into the tent by the knife and axe driver.
The bloody nose was disgusting. Baqi wiped his tears and spoke: "I have decided to open the city and surrender to the man."
"As for your order!" Guan Nujia bowed in a trembling voice.
Baqi looked at the chief clerk: "Please ask the chief clerk to come forward and discuss the surrender with Ji General."
"Here!" The chief clerk bowed in a solemn manner.
The next morning, Taishi Ci had already led the Feiyigugugu, forcibly crossed the army to Benchuan, and arrived at the foot of Heshenggucheng Mountain.
From a distance, I saw the city on the top of the mountain, and the flag was gone, and the city gate was closed. There was no way to distinguish between the virtual and the real.
During the reign of Emperor Yuan, the prince Zhu Meng of Fuyu was born in the state of Fuyu. He could not bear the royal dispute and fled south. He was in Benchuan, Feiliu Valley, and established the son of Fuyu. The royal capital "Heshenggucheng" was built on the top of the mountain.
There are three city gates in the mountain city, separated from the east wall, the south wall and the west wall of the mountain top. The city wall is built with danger and has many mechanisms. The western wall uses cliffs and raised ridges to form a natural barrier and is dangerous in the air. The other three sides are built with solid stone walls, and the foundation of the wall is directly above the flat rock. There are barracks under the city wall, half hidden in the underground (silver). A fire kang is dug inside, a flue is laid, stone slabs are laid on top, and mud is applied to form a kang surface, which is warm in winter and cool in summer.
The Heshenggushan City has been constructed with natural barriers according to local conditions. All artificial walls are made of stone. The outer walls of the city walls are even spared no effort. Large stones are used to build foundations, pile wedge-shaped stones on them, and stack them layer by layer. With the help of the structural characteristics of wedge-shaped stones, no adhesive is added. The rough big stones have been sturdy and have been exposed to wind and sunlight for 200 years, and they are still strong and towering.
When entering and leaving the mountain city, there is only a winding mountain path paved with stones.
In a nutshell, this city is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you attack forcefully, you will lose troops and generals. The armor of Ji Kingdom can control swords, spears, swords, and flying crossbows. However, you cannot withstand the heavy attack of rolling wood and stones. This mountain has many stones, which can be used to build walls and also as stones.
The surprise attack failed, Taishi Ci then set up a camp at the foot of the mountain, sacrificing the flag of Ji Kingdom, waiting for the army to arrive.
Before midday, a high-ranking official from the city went down the mountain and said, "I was ordered to surrender to the Han Dynasty."
Taishi Ci was overjoyed and met in a big tent: "Who are you?"
"The chief clerk, please pay homage to the general." The chief clerk saluted with a solemn look.
"I am a military officer and dare not be called a general." Taishi Ci said, "Who is the order of the chief clerk?"
"I am the Great Highness of the Kingdom." The chief clerk replied: "The handwritten letter is here, and the army will know it at a glance."
The incident of Baqi's presentation of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, King Ji, had already ordered someone to inform him. Taishi Ci took the letter and looked at it carefully, and there was no doubt that the front and back were consistent.
"Your Highness wants to open the city and surrender to the Han Dynasty. The elders in the city should treat the army well." The chief clerk said.
"This is natural. The chief clerk should hear it, and my lord never kills indiscriminately." Taishici replied.
"The people in the city who are in charge of fighting were all killed by His Highness's axes. The remaining ministers are all interested in the Han Dynasty. The military guards should also protect their families." The chief clerk said again.
"Yes." Taishici nodded gently: "My lord is clear about public and private affairs, and only punishes the evil ones, how can he extend his family's small family?"
The chief clerk suddenly felt a breath of turbid air: "In this way, let's follow me into the city."
"Leading the way forward." Taishi Ci became proud and arrogant.
"I dare to ask the army, who is it?" The chief clerk couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
"Donglai Taishici."
"But Brother Ji Wang Yi!" The chief clerk's eyes lit up.
"That's right." Taishici nodded slightly.
"In this way, the lower minister was relieved." The chief clerk Ran bowed and came out again.
"Military waiter, be careful of fraud." Then some of the Hu people's confidant made a comment.
"It's okay." Taishi Ci said, "I think this person is not a treacherous person. There are no flaws in front and behind. This city is lying on the top of the mountain and built with rocks, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the Goguryeo army returns, blocks the city and defends it to the death, and then attacks forcefully, our army will suffer heavy casualties. Do not miss the opportunity, and do not doubt it."
"The army is the righteous brother of the lord, and his status is noble. If you take risks, I will not be willing to die. And the barbarians must be treacherous." Speaking of cunning, you, the confidant of the Hu people, are not too incestuous.
Taishi Ci smiled and said, "How can you not know that this is amazing? Here, I will choose a hundred people to follow me. The remaining people will stay at the camp and wait for support."
"Here!" The confidant took the order.
