Wu Nian’s military camp, in the big tent.

Although there were dozens of people, they were silent. Many civil servants were pale and cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Fortunately, Chen Yongjun spoke first, otherwise...

Wu Nian first showed anger, but soon calmed down. He sighed quietly and said, "There are loyal ministers in Goguryeo."

"Storing Chen Yongjun's heads well, and after breaking through the city, find his body, put it in the best coffin, and transport it back to his hometown for burial."

"Treat his family."

Then, Wu Nian said.

"Yes." A civil servant stood up and bowed to it.

"General. This beast is stubborn. I ask to lead troops to attack the city immediately, break through the pass and kill this beast." Zhao Yanting stepped out of the line, stood in front of Wu Nian, with an angry face and said loudly.

Zhang Sheng curled his lips.

Who doesn't know that among the many lieutenants of the General of the Han Dynasty, even Feng Chong is more loyal than you.

What a good guy.

Stubborn.

Although Deng Qingshan killed the general's envoy, he was more respectable than you.

Wu Nian shook his head and said, "Deng Qingshan killed my envoys and blocked my army. I have no choice but to die. But we just arrived at Jingge City, and there were so many people and horses."

"Let's rest for a day first. Let's attack the city tomorrow."

Zhao Yanting was disappointed when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he bent down and said, "Tomorrow, attack the city. Please let Beizhi take the lead."

"Okay." Wu Nian nodded and agreed.

The sun sets.

Deng Qingshan, wearing armor, patrolled the city walls with great difficulty and led his personal soldiers back to the city's mansion.

The personal soldiers served supper. He was worried and had no appetite at all, but he still forced himself to have a full meal.

People are iron, and rice is steel.

The next step of defending the city will be extremely hard. If you don’t eat, your body will soon collapse.

He didn't know whether he had suppressed the shaken generals. But he knew that if even he collapsed, there would be no hope.

Deng Qingshan entered the study room, read the military books with a light for a while before entering the bedroom to sleep.

"kill!!!!!!!"

"Kill Deng Qingshan. Open the city gate and welcome the general of the auxiliary Han into the city."

"kill!!!"

"Treacherous. You traitors."

Late at night, Deng Qingshan was awakened by the shouts of killing outside the room and sat up. Then he smiled bitterly, closed his eyes, and said in despair.

"The building will collapse, and it is irreversible without peerless talents."

"I'm just a mantis arm is just a chariot."

Without hesitation, Deng Qingshan put on his shoes and bent down, took out a wooden box from under the bed and opened it, took out a small black porcelain bottle, pulled out the plug, aimed it at his mouth, and poured out the liquid.

After a while, Deng Qingshan fell to the bed and died of bleeding from his seven orifices.

The Great Xia is about to pour out, and it cannot be saved by manpower.

There were only a small number of generals who rebelled tonight, but most of them were also unfaithful ministers. They ordered their troops to watch and neither launched a rebellion nor stopped it.

With Deng Qingshan's death, the next thing was without any trouble.

The next morning, Zhao Yanting took one step ahead of Wu Nian and led his soldiers into Jingge City. The soldiers of Goguryeo were moved outside the city.

All the generals of Goguryeo went out of the northern city gate to welcome Wu Nian.

"Dadada." Wu Nian came to the city gate surrounded by Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun.

"I am Wu Nian. What happened last night. Who was the mastermind?" Wu Nian asked condescendingly.

"Report to General. It is a villain who conspires with Chen Guijin and Zhang Li." A Goguryeo general stood up and bowed respectfully.

"The villain is from Chunchuan Mansion. Qin Zhang."

His eyebrows were filled with joy, and the other two were not inferior. Some of the remaining Goguryeo generals were silent, while others looked at Qin Zhang with a faint repulsion.

Although people are shaken by their hearts, people like Deng Qingshan deserve respect.

Those who do the trick will naturally be despised by everyone.

"Good job. For the time being, you are the commander and command more than 10,000 Goguryeo warriors. I will give you five hundred taels of gold."

"Chen Guijin, Zhangli has 200 taels of gold."

Wu Nian was not ashamed of the behavior of the three. He had already made up his mind and removed the three of them from their positions when the situation stabilized and asked them to go out to farm in the countryside.

But now, he can only reward merits.

"Thank you, General." The three of them were very happy and thanked him without knowing what Wu Nian was thinking.

After entering the city, Wu Nian only did two things. Arrange the bodies of Chen Yongjun and Deng Qingshan. Then he left only a small number of soldiers to guard Jingge City, leading five lieutenants and ten thousand Goguryeo war soldiers.

, killing towards the capital.

This time, there is no obstacle to the future.

................

Goguryeo Capital City.

The four-sided city gates are closed.

All those who can run away ran away, and those who can't run away dare not sway on the streets. The streets are deserted and there are only patrol soldiers.

Inside the side hall of the royal palace.

Li Jinzhu sat on the imperial throne, and below were important officials such as Li Yongshan, Li Yunchong, and Zhao Mancheng.

Li Jinzhu's peerless face finally no longer bright and charming, and her light is dim.

"Can the capital still be kept?" Li Jinzhu held the cushion tightly with her right hand, her voice a little hoarse. Her eyes fell on Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong.

The snow qilin finally became the gray qilin. Zhao Mancheng sighed and was about to speak.

The old minister Yu Weize stood up and said excitedly: "Why did the Empress Dowager say this? Although the Jingge City was broken by Wu Nian, the walls of the capital are tall and strong, and there are 70,000 combat soldiers. The people in the city are willing to be fooled by the royal family.

”

"A mere Wu Nian will definitely not defeat the capital."

"Mr. Yu is right. The military and civilians in the city have a total of 500,000, and the food and grass can last for two years. They can definitely defend the capital."

"Please don't be suspicious and order the capital to be defended to the death."

Many people stood up, cheering Li Jinzhu and begging Li Jinzhu.

How can the national capital be easily abandoned?

Li Jinzhu did not reply, but just looked at Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong.

Zhao Mancheng did not hesitate and stood up and said, "The Queen Mother, the people's hearts have dispersed. Jingge City is the lesson of the past."

"Although the capital is the capital, we can defend it for a while. However, it is only a matter of time before Wu Nian attacks internally."

"The capital cannot be defended. I think it should retreat to the Han River. I will divide the river with Wu Nian to govern."

"The Empress Dowager Zhao is right. The Han River is not only a line of defense, but also a mountainous south, and easy to defend. What's more, our Li family and the Zhao family are famous in the south and can gain a foothold."

"There are still tens of thousands of navy troops in the Yalu River and tens of thousands of navy troops on the sea. Retreat to the Han River and endure for a while. Finally, there will be a day when the clouds will clear and the sun will be clear."

Li Yunchong also stood up and said sincerely.

Before, they answered Li Jinzhu that the capital can be guarded, and they really have some confidence.

But the rapid fall of Jingge City broke their fantasy.

People's hearts are unpredictable.

Moreover, he and Zhao Mancheng had already discussed it. Escape to Seoul on the Han River was a test along the way.

Those who are unfaithful will definitely leave the team and head north to Wu Nian.

Loyal people will follow them to Seoul. As long as the army is loyal enough to defend the Han River and Seoul, it is not a problem.

"Zhao Mancheng, Li Yunchong. Do you actually want to abandon the capital? A villain. A villain." Yu Weize was immediately furious and cursed.

The ministers who just agreed to guard the capital also started to curse.

Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng looked ugly, but they did not refute.

Abandoning the capital is indeed a sinner forever.

Li Jinzhu was very frightened.

Is the capital really unable to hold it?
