Chapter one hundred and eighty-eight
Goguryeo gave up many pass cities without saying a word. Although he tried his best to take away the supplies when he left, the Jin army still obtained a lot of supplies. The materials can always be scraped out. After comprehensive calculations in various aspects, Sima Ji has reached the correct conclusion, and there is absolutely no problem in enduring a winter.
As for Murong Li, he was busy stealing graves and digging graves. The Goguryeo Royal Tomb was outside the domestic city. The tombs of the Goguryeo people were somewhat similar to those of the Han Dynasty. They were buried with a grand burial and putting gold, silver and treasures into the tombs. On the contrary, the living people had no money. As for the richness of the tombs of the Han Dynasty, it can be seen from the fact that warlords always robbed tombs at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Murong Ling also knew the characteristics of Goguryeo people. Anyway, the King of Yan said that you can grab it, yours, I only need to land. What else can I do? Murong Ling commanded the Murong army and directly dug up the tomb of Goguryeo kings, dug up the tomb of Goguryeo kings of all dynasties, threw the bones aside, and took out all the burial objects inside.
When Sima Ji learned about Murong's action, he was very curious because according to historical legend, Murong's dig up the Goguryeo Royal Tomb and encountered some ghost incident, which caused great losses to the troops and had to retreat.
However, after some observation, Sima Ji strengthened his belief in atheism because nothing happened. Feng Shangwang failed to centralize power, but he did protect the country in two attacks by Murong Wei. If it were based on the standard of the winning rate of the Song Dynasty's defensive counterattack, Goguryeo said that he could make even wins.
The image of the foolish monarch who was forced to commit suicide was unreasonable. Therefore, in order to erase the victory of the Fengshang King, in history, in order to eliminate the victory of Fengshang King, he used some false statements to attribute Murong's withdrawal to the ghost's revenge.
This is not unusual at all, because as long as Luoyang needs it, all parts of the Jin Dynasty can fill the courts with auspicious memorials within one year. Isn’t it just a fraud? Who can’t do it? You can play more skillful than you.
"The Grand Governor seems to have gained a lot!" Sima Ji came to Murong Jing and looked at him calmly, "I think the wealth accumulated this time can allow Murong to live a good life for a while."
"This is all due to the kindness of Your Highness!" Murong Wei gave a very humble greeting. It is hard to imagine that this was a famous problematic child in Liaodong at that time. He beaten all sides, robbed Youzhou, beat Goguryeo, and Fuyu.
"The kindness is not a question. As long as the Murong family does not cause trouble for our Great Jin Dynasty, I will not offend others if they don't offend others." Sima Ji felt that his words were hypocritical. If he really did not offend others if he didn't offend others, it would be the Song Dynasty. However, he could only continue to be nonsense. "You also know that many ministers in Luoyang have known the Hu people. If you have been in Luoyang, I will not say much. I have never discriminated against Hu people for a long time. I have asked myself to be fair. You and I will be harmonious, and your future benefits will be indispensable."
"In the Murong era, he served the Great Jin Dynasty and did not dare to betray him." Murong Ling understood what Sima Ji meant and quickly stated that he could be a fart for Sima Ji's words, but he could not help but take the words of the King of Yan seriously.
"That's good. I only deal with one enemy at a time, but there is no limit to whether this enemy is big or small." Sima Ji said in a pun, "Does the Grand Governor think what I said makes sense? When do you think Goguryeo will surrender?"
"This depends on the food and grass in the domestic city. However, from the perspective of the warehouse, this strong city is probably not easy to conquer." Murong Jie hesitated for a moment and chose to tell the truth. He only thought that the domestic city was difficult to conquer, but it seemed that the King of Yan didn't care and didn't know what the gourd had sold.
"Yeah!" Sima Ji refused to comment, muttering in his heart that the weather was dry and the matter was dry and the fire was prevented. He disappeared from Murong Wei's sight in one step, to see if other soldiers had sent letters and whether they could clean up the battlefield.
Hengshan, Gaimu and Momi have been in war these days. As the city that King Goguryeo specializes in defending the royal capital, if Sima Ji thinks that these three cities do not exist, it will obviously be a threat to his side. Moreover, this will complicate the situation on the battlefield, and it may eventually become a chaotic battle. It is impossible for anyone who wins the chaotic battle to avoid chaos.
The defenders of several cities ranged from three thousand to five thousand, which was of course a disadvantage for the offensive troops of ten or twenty thousand, but they were not as disadvantageous as they did not dare to resist when they opened their eyes. However, the Jin Dynasty was not long after its establishment, especially the military town arrangements similar to the military governors of the Tang Dynasty, were not of any benefit. At least it ensured that the combat effectiveness did not decline so quickly.
Especially the Youzhou Army, don’t think that Sima Ji did not have the right to govern Youzhou, but as the vassal king of Youzhou, he was very good to the Youzhou Army, even better than Pingzhou, who was against the governor. That was the army under his nose, and for his own safety, he also wanted to win over it. Many maids from the royal palace married to the homes of the Youzhou generals and schools as concubines.
From generals to ordinary soldiers, the King of Yan solved trivial matters for them, and shared with the Youzhou Army any good suggestions. Therefore, Sima Ji was not the governor of the Youzhou Army at all. He was very familiar with the tactics of the Youzhou Army, even more familiar than Xu Meng, the governor of the Youzhou Army.
The three sieges are missing, and the catapult is first used. This is the first of the Yan King's military tactics. Before the war, you should never think that there are fewer weapons in the siege. As long as there are enough materials, you can make as much as you can. Amid the sound of the cowhide drums, the Youzhou army first threw stones for a day and bombed the stone walls of Gaimu City, and finally smashed a huge gap in the city wall. The army rushed up and started to attack the city with the siege hammers.
After two hours of fierce battle, the Goguryeo defenders were killed nearly two thousand, and Gaimu City was conquered, becoming the first city to fall among the three cities. Two days later, the Pingzhou army also conquered Momi City, which it besieged.
The Goguryeo defenders in Momi City were obviously more tenacious than the defenders in Gaimu City. After the city wall was lost and the city gate was opened, they used the buildings in the city to fight. On the street, the slowly retreating defenders and the Pingzhou cavalry rushed in suddenly collided. The Pingzhou army's war horses crashed into the defenders' spear jungle. The war horses of the Pingzhou soldiers in the front made a terrifying cry. Each war horse was stabbed by at least four or five spears, and blood immediately gushed away, and their legs fell to the ground. The knights on the horse were also thrown out due to inertia, and then they were sieve by the spear.
