Not long after Wu Nian defeated Shigetoshi Katagiri.
Wu Nianjun, in the military camp. Although they had just won, the soldiers did not relax their vigilance. They wore armor and carried spears, either stood guard or patrolled, and the guards were extremely tight.
Wu Nian, surrounded by Zhang Zhen, Lu Yanxun and other soldiers, inspected the military camp. After visiting the wounded soldiers, he returned to the tent and sat down.
Wu Nian took off his helmet and handed it to Zhang Zhen. Zhang Zhen turned around and put his helmet on the wooden stake.
"General. This is the head of Shigetoshi Katagiri." A soldier came in from outside, holding a square wooden box in his hand and presenting it to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian had no interest in this. He waved his hand and said, "Find a small flag officer and send the head to the capital of Goguryeo."
"Show it to the Queen Mother."
"Yes." The soldier responded, turned around and went down.
Not long after, a group of eleven cavalrymen, with five more horses, left the military camp and headed south.
morning.
The capital of Goguryeo.
Although the city gates on all sides are open, the number of guards at the gates has doubled. The interrogation upon entering the city was also much stricter.
The common people did not know that Fuso's army had launched an attack without permission.
But the murderous aura in the air made them feel something was wrong.
It's like the smell before the storm.
Everyone knew something big had happened. And it's not a good thing.
In the Queen Mother's palace.
Cigarettes curled up from the exquisite incense burner.
Li Jinzhu sat in front of the dressing table, getting dressed. The face in the bronze mirror in front is still bright and attractive. But the brows were filled with anxiety.
The maids who served Li Jinzhu were all cautious, for fear of offending Li Jinzhu.
Li Jinzhu couldn't suppress the anxiety and restlessness in his heart. He suddenly stretched out his white and delicate hands, pushed down the bronze mirror with all his strength, and stood up.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me." The tense heartstrings of the palace ladies suddenly broke, and they fell to their knees in an instant, constantly begging for mercy.
Li Jinzhu didn't respond to them, and went straight to the large bed, intending to get into the warm quilt.
escape.
Ever since she got the news that the Fuso people were sending troops, she had lost her appetite, but strangely her sleep was not affected.
Lie on the bed, close your eyes and fall into a deep sleep. You can escape reality.
Since sitting on the throne of the Queen Mother, Li Jinzhu never thought that there would be a day like today.
Even if the Meng Yuan people rise strongly, she is only worried. Goguryeo's strength is still very strong, very strong.
The Meng Yuan people could do nothing to her.
originally.
Wu Nian couldn't do anything to her. The natural moat of the Yalu River is enough to withstand Wu Nian's powerful army. Until she could no longer hold back and sent Li Yunchong, Zhao Mancheng and others to send 50,000 troops to cross the Yalu River.
As a result, 80% of the 50,000 soldiers were killed or injured, and only more than 10,000 escaped.
At that time, Goguryeo was in danger of subjugation. The Fuso people's covenant helped her stabilize the situation.
Until now.
Subjugation of the country.
Goguryeo fell.
After getting into the fragrant quilt, Li Jinzhu curled up her delicate body and hid her head under the quilt.
Only then did she feel a sense of security.
But only a little.
She soon began to have wild thoughts and panic.
"What should I do if the capital is breached?"
"What should I do if Goguryeo falls?"
"What should I do if I am captured by Wu Nian?"
She has read a lot of history books, and the fate of those kings and queen mothers who subjugated their countries was often not good.
The more she thought about it, the more panic she felt, and then she felt cold. She stretched her arms involuntarily, hugged her plump breasts, and shivered.
Winter.
She grew up in a wealthy family and did not know the sufferings of the people. I finally paid the price for my actions and felt the coldness from Liaodong.
I heard the roar of the Liaodong tiger.
"Mother, General Li and General Zhao are outside asking for an audience."
A palace maid cautiously approached the phoenix bed, her delicate body trembling slightly and her voice trembling.
Li Jinzhu's cold feeling dissipated. She lifted the incense quilt and sat up, regaining her dignity in an instant and said: "Get dressed."
After getting dressed, Li Jinzhu left the palace. I got on the phoenix chariot and arrived at the front palace. After passing the small door, Li Jinzhu came to the throne and sat down.
"Meet the Queen Mother."
Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng bowed together and saluted.
"No courtesy." Li Jinzhu raised his hand slightly and opened his red lips. The sound quality is crisp and charming.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng stood up straight.
"How's the situation ahead?" Li Jinzhu put his right hand on the cushion, squeezed it tightly, and asked.
Li Yunchong said in a deep voice: "Report to the Queen Mother. The Fusang people were defeated, and the entire army of 20,000 people was wiped out. General Zhao rode back alone to report the news."
Li Jinzhu felt like the world was spinning and he almost fell down. His delicate body couldn't stop trembling.
Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng lowered their heads slightly.
It took Li Jinzhu some time to stop trembling. But the voice still trembled slightly.
"Can the capital be defended? What should the Yi family do now?"
Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng took a deep breath together. Li Yunchong said flatly: "Please rest assured, Queen Mother, the capital will be able to be defended."
"That's right. There are still 80,000 soldiers in the city. There are also many loyal and kind ministers. The capital is the foundation of Goguryeo and it will never fall."
Zhao Mancheng was also decisive.
Li Jinzhu's face softened slightly when he heard this, and he nodded slightly.
"That's good, that's good."
Despite Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong's assurances, the capital would not fall. And tried their best to maintain the defense of the capital.
Maintain the defense line of the capital and three strongholds.
The defense line they deployed was as solid as ever, without any flaws.
But the strongest line of defense in the world is the human heart, not a city.
If people's hearts are broken, even Shanhaiguan, the most powerful pass in the world, will be easily broken.
News of the Fuso people's defeat spread quickly.
The capital fell into chaos.
At first, they were merchants from other places or people living in the capital, such as students from the Imperial College of Goguryeo. These people left the capital with their families and fled to their respective places of origin to avoid the war.
Then there are some princes and ministers.
The entire Goguryeo was like a fire pit, and capable people kept running out.
Of course this is not possible.
At critical moments, some domestic slaves of princes and ministers could also be armed to resist Wu Nian's attack. But Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng could not stop it.
You can't kill him, right?
How many people have to be killed?
If the fleeing people are killed, there is no need to wait for Wu Nian to attack.
The capital would have to collapse on its own.
War and chaos are signs of destruction for the country.
Just when Goguryeo's court and barbarians were panicking, Wu Nian's army arrived at Jingge City.
Can the capital be defended?
It depends on this battle.
