As the most important city in Liaodong, Liaodong City has a large population and more developed commerce than the capital city of Goguryeo. There are not only food shops, bookstores, slave shops, and fur shops opened by the Goguryeo people, but also jewelry stores opened by the Sogdians. Every day It was extremely lively with people coming and going, but at this time, this important city was filled with an atmosphere of tension and sadness.
Years ago, Great Sa Yuan Taizuo led a 60,000-strong army to the northern expedition to Sumo Mohe, and then transferred a large army from Nanfu Yucheng to help. Originally, they had surrounded the Sumo Mohe chief in Beifu Yucheng, and the enemy's kingdom was about to be destroyed. However, the war situation suddenly changed, and Yuan Taizuo was killed and his entire army was wiped out. In the end, less than a hundred soldiers fled to Liaodong City.
In addition, the northern part of Liaodong Province was wiped out by the brutal "alien coalition"; and the war will soon spread to the south.
When the news came, Liaodong City was immediately thrown into chaos.
Regardless of the tragedy in the northern region, the 60,000 people brought by Yuan Taizuo were soldiers from the eastern region. Among them, most of them are people from around Liaodong City.
In other words, the annihilation of these 60,000 soldiers directly affected 60,000 families.
When they joined the army, they either wanted to serve the country, want to gain a good career, or want to gain more benefits for their families. But now, they have died in a foreign land with no bones left.
For a time, public outrage arose, and half of Liaodong City was deserted. Many generals and officials were attacked by angry people throwing stones when they walked on the street during the day!
When the public anger reached its peak, Da Duilu appeared on Liaodong Square with the haggard, sallow-looking generals Yuan Taizuo, Tan Yin, Yang Wanchun and other generals. These generals who had returned from defeat were bare-chested and covered with stripes. Paying money vertically and horizontally, and the horrific bloody "scars".
Yuan Taizuo, Tan Yin, Yang Wanchun and other generals looked pale and confused. When they reached the high platform, they knelt in front of the platform and kowtowed to the people to apologize. They showed that if the people did not forgive them, they would kowtow. The posture of dying here.
Da Duilu, wearing linen clothes, stood in front and shouted angrily at Bodu Mohe, Anchegu Mohe, Nanshiwei, and Beishiwei, saying that they had sent 400,000 coalition troops to help Sumo Mohe, which had led to the capture of Beifu. The Goguryeo army in the city was surrounded by allied troops. Then, the Tudiji taxis entered the city through the secret passage and burned all the food and supplies and everything in the city.
Although the Goguryeo soldiers fought bravely and fought tooth and nail in the battle, the army was seriously short of food and supplies. In the end, they were outnumbered and died in battle, frozen to death, and starved to death on the city walls.
Yuan Canghai and Yuan Xian were eager to rescue, but accidentally fell into many traps set by the coalition forces. They were caught off guard and were surrounded and suppressed. Although they were not afraid of death and resisted bravely, the opponent had too many troops, so they were still killed and the entire army was annihilated.
The northern region lost its army, and the cities seemed to be undefended, so they were slaughtered by the inhumane coalition soldiers.
Yuan Ziyou denounced the foreign coalition forces. They not only used weapons including poison, witchcraft, and epidemics in the battle, but also carried out bloody massacres of defenseless old, weak, women, and children after the war.
He strongly called on Goguryeo men, women and children to be brave and to resist these inhumane and inhuman murderers together.
After Yuan Ziyou successfully transferred the dissatisfaction of the people of Liaodong towards them to the "Sumo Mohe Allied Forces", he cried bitterly and said: "Yuan Taizuo, Tan Yin, and Yang Wanchun are not afraid of death, but worried about their death." , no one knows the ferocity of the Northern Allied Forces. For the sake of millions of people in Goguryeo, they fought a bloody road and returned to Liaodong City after going through untold hardships. They are heroes, and we should not make unreasonable accusations."
"In this battle, my second son Yuan Canghai died heroically, and my eldest son Yuan Taizuo was not afraid of life and death. He personally killed the enemy and was seriously injured. The most serious injury was to the back of his head, causing him to suffer mental damage now. He has lost the ability to speak. If he is not treated by a good doctor, I am afraid that my eldest son will become an ignorant fool from now on."
At this point, Yuan Ziyou raised his arms and shouted: "My brave compatriots in Goguryeo, I have lost 'two' sons, and I, Yuan Ziyou, feel the same for you. This is the national humiliation of our Goguryeo, and this revenge must be taken." Pay it forward!"
"This is the national humiliation of Goguryeo, and this revenge must be avenged!"
"This is the national humiliation of Goguryeo, and this revenge must be avenged!"
"..."
After hearing this, the people of Liaodong City completely dissipated their resentment towards the Yuan family and their sons, and transferred their hatred to the so-called coalition forces. Under Yuan Ziyou's bewitchment, they all gnashed their teeth and shouted desperately.
Filled with righteous indignation, they shouted that the blood feud must not be forgotten, that they must be avenged, and that the Northern Allied Forces must pay for their debts with blood.
The reason for this effect is that first of all, Yuan Ziyou is the "king" north of the Yalu River. In order to turn Liaodong into the Yuan family's base camp, he has been neglecting taxes and improving people's livelihood, which makes him popular here. , far more than Gao Yuan. Secondly, Yuan Ziyou was the chief minister of Goguryeo, and his status was equivalent to that of the prime minister of the Central Plains. What he said was authoritative, and ordinary people who did not know what was going on believed him. Third, the Northern Expedition led by Yuan Taizuo indeed defeated Sumo Mohe and occupied the "capital" of Sumo Mohe. To a certain extent, Yuan Taizuo had succeeded.
The most important thing is that Yuan Ziyou is smart. He clearly knows that Yang Ji is leading everything and is fighting, but he blames the so-called "Allied Forces"; and in the eyes of the people of Liaodong, all the ethnic groups of the "Allied Forces" are all They are inconspicuous little characters. After the common people heard about the background of the Allied Forces, they dared to hate, beat and scold these characters. If he revealed the truth and changed his target to the powerful and arrogant Sui Dynasty, the common people would lose their hatred. Courage, under such circumstances, they will naturally put all the blame on Yuanshi.
It is precisely out of various concerns that Yuan Ziyou blamed the fictitious "Allied Forces". By combining them one by one, the people of Liaodong who benefited from the Yuan family and instinctively believed in Yuan Ziyou had an outlet and courage to object of resentment.
Next, the problem is Gao Yuan's.
When the people calmed down, Yuan Ziyou helped Yuan Taizuo, Tan Yin, Yang Wanchun and other generals one by one, and then Tan Yin, who reached a consensus, spoke.
Tan Yin's eyes turned red, he kept crying, and gritted his teeth and said: "My heroic Goguryeo compatriots, this defeat is our responsibility, and it is also a shame for the great Goguryeo. But I tell you, our defeat this time has nothing but In addition to the strong enemy force, there are also traitors who disclosed our marching route and defense plans. Otherwise, the coalition forces would not be able to accurately identify each city in such a short period of time. But Nanfu Yucheng is not As fortified as Liaodong City, I left more than 10,000 elite soldiers to guard it, but it still fell."
"Why? Because someone was eaten inside and out."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar!
No matter which country they belong to, the people hate internal traitors far more than foreign enemies. The gathered people were stunned for a while and shouted:
"who is it?"
"who is it?"
"Who is it?"
Tan Yin waved one hand to signal the people to be quiet. After all the sounds slowly died down, he gritted his teeth and followed Yuan Ziyou's "script" and said loudly: "My brother Tan Yun is the deputy of Eulji Mundeok. Yes, some people said before that they fell into the hands of the Sui army, and Eulji Mundeok died heroically on the battlefield. But I tell you, everything is false."
"This envoy did not fall into the hands of the Sui army, but was captured by Somo Mohe. Eulji Wende was not dead either. He is now a guest of Tudiji... The news I told you is It was revealed by my brother's followers. When I redeem my brother, everything will be revealed."
No matter what, let’s get through this first. However, in the end, even he himself was moved to tears, as if it was true.
Although he did not say that Eulji Mundeok was a traitor, before and after the union, the ignorant people naturally guessed who the traitor was, so they cursed one after another.
Among the people who followed the curse, there were more than ten pairs of eyes, looking at those people on the stage mockingly.
They suddenly discovered that as a profiteer who was ordered to spy on military affairs, they were crushed to pieces by these Goguryeo officials in terms of inciting emotions.
This political show lasted for about an hour and was finally terminated because Yuan Taizuo, Tan Yin, Yang Wanchun and others "suffered from injuries", "vomited blood at the mouth" and "went into a coma with grief".
As the "protagonists" left, the people also dispersed crying and cursing. The meticulous deployment of the Sui Dynasty also recorded everything that happened here in the form of codes, and passed it to the joints, allowing them to spread it out through "traveling".
. . . . . .
When Yuan Ziyou returned to his official residence, he received another military news that made him angry and helpless: Tu Diji "issued an edict to the world" and decided to surrender to the Sui Dynasty. And this "soil" is not just Sumo Mohe, but also includes the "Nanfu Yucheng-Jinshan City-Yincheng-Longshou Mountain City-Duofayue" line that "he captured". In other words, the northern part of Liaodong was given to the Sui Dynasty by this bastard.
After receiving this military information, Yuan Ziyou was filled with hatred, but there were too many Sui troops on the other side of the Liao River. At this moment, he simply did not dare to send troops north to retake the territory he had taken away. In desperation, he had no choice but to send people to Pyongyang to report; at the same time, , and sent people to the other side to find Li Zixiong, hoping to meet with Yang Ji as soon as possible to discuss a solution to the current crisis.
