"Uncle, do you want to send someone to persuade him to surrender?" Zhang Zhen turned around and asked.

Wu Nian glanced at him. Although there was no nephew in the army, how could it be possible? Ordinary soldiers would not ask this question.

"No need. You are just humiliating yourself by trying to persuade us to surrender. Send us the order and prepare to attack the city."

Wu Nian said.

"Yes." Zhang Zhen agreed, immediately galloped his horse, and shouted: "The general has orders, prepare to attack the city."

"The general has orders to prepare to attack the city."

After the three thousand households received the order, they immediately asked the soldiers to prepare. In fact, there was nothing to prepare. They only had ordinary ladders.

Of course, the other side should also be unprepared.

Just half a catty.

But they are elite warriors.

"Beat the drums and attack the city." Seeing that the army was ready, Wu Nian issued another order.

"Dong dong dong!!!!!" Ten drummers beat the snare drum vigorously to add to the sound.

"Kill!!!!" The well-prepared soldiers, under the command of Qianhu, carried ladders and rushed towards the city wall.

How many of the domestic slaves, government servants, and children from wealthy families recruited by Zhang Chonglou have experience in defending the city? Even if there are children from wealthy families who are proficient in martial arts, who have ever been on the battlefield?

Faced with Wu Nian's army's noisy attack on the city, many people turned pale.

"Fire arrows. Fire arrows quickly." Someone yelled. The defenders hurriedly fired arrows. Many arrows fell on the ground and were not shot at all. A few shot out, which was not enough for Wu Nianjun, who was wearing heavy armor.

Just scratching an itch.

"Whoosh!!!!" Wu Nianjun's archers, after arriving at the city, opened their bows and shot arrows at the city. Arrows rained down for a while.

"Ahhhh!!"

"Pfft, pfft."

A large number of defenders were killed, which also lowered the morale of the defenders. The improvised defenders immediately dispersed.

Wu Nian attacked the city.

Wu Nian destroyed the city.

It's that easy.

Soon after, the city gate opened. A large number of Wu Nian's soldiers entered the city first and controlled the four walls. Finally, the soldiers surrounded Wu Nian and entered the city.

The streets were deserted, like a ghost town.

Wu Nian rode his horse and arrived at the government office. There was a group of soldiers guarding the door. Xiaoqi stepped forward and saluted Wu Nian: "General, the government office has been controlled by us."

"Zhang Chonglou is currently in the main room."

"Yeah." Wu Nian hummed, got off his horse and walked in, heading straight to the main room.

Zhang Chonglou was dressed in white and sat on the main seat. He watched Wu Nian come in but did not get up to greet him.

On the contrary, Wu Nian was very polite. He held the hilt of the sword at his waist with his left hand and bent down to salute: "I am Wu Nian, the general assisting the Han Dynasty. Mr. Zhang is polite."

Zhang Chonglou remained silent and looked at Wu Nian with a critical eye. As if he was the winner and Wu Nian was the loser.

"Our general is talking to you. Didn't you hear?" Zhang Zhen was furious, stepped forward and said solemnly.

Wu Nian reached out and grabbed Zhang Zhen's arm, then came to sit down in the guest seat and said sincerely: "Master Zhang, I know you, and you know me."

"I am about to do something big, and you are a rare talent. If you are willing to submit to me, I will definitely use you."

Zhang Chonglou's expression changed slightly. He looked at Wu Nian and sneered after a moment: "Thieves and bandits. They rely on a strong army to invade our country. They also want to shame loyal ministers."

"Let me tell you. We in Goguryeo only have loyal ministers who live and die with the country, and there are no traitors who betray their masters for glory."

"You guy!!! You actually scolded my uncle." Zhang Zhen was furious, and the steel knife on his waist was half unsheathed. Wu Nian glared at him.

He was very unconvinced, but he did not dare to say anything. He returned the knife to its sheath and continued to glare at Zhang Chonglou.

The same goes for Lu Yanxun and other personal soldiers.

Too abominable.

Who are you calling our general a bandit?

Wu Nian did not get angry, but smiled and said: "That's a good scolding. From your standpoint at this moment, you are righteous and I am evil. You protect your family and country, and I invade Goguryeo."

"I'm not talking to you about anything. You were the ones who started it. It's boring."

"What are your last words before you die? I have always respected loyal ministers and righteous men. As long as it is not excessive, I will satisfy you."

Zhang Zhen, Lu Yanxun and other soldiers were all dumbfounded.

Zhang Chonglou's body trembled, and he looked at Wu Nian in surprise. Then he clenched his fists, sighed, and said, "Anyone else would have chopped me with a knife a long time ago. But you agreed with me with a smile."

"As expected of the Liaodong tiger, he has the demeanor of a king."

"It's just a pain for me, Goguryeo. It's really going to cause the country to subjugate."

At this point, Zhang Chonglou's eyes turned red and tears fell like rain. After crying for a while, he raised his head and said, "Please strangle me to death and give me a car. Let my trusted aide take me back to my hometown."

, buried in the ancestral grave.”

"Okay." Wu Nian agreed.

"Thank you." Zhang Zhonglou shed tears, stood up, and walked out of the main room with his head held high. Wu Nian winked at Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Zhen was also the first to commit murder and had no experience, so he asked Lu Yanxun to be brave.

Wu Nian stood up and walked to the main seat, looked up at the soldiers in front of him, and said: "Send soldiers who understand Goguryeo to move around the city."

"Tell the people. Although I, Wu Nian, am a bandit, I will not harm the people."

"Let the officials in the city who are willing to submit to me come to the government office together. I will give you many rewards."

"Strengthen patrols. Protect the granary, arsenal, and bank vault in the city."

"Yes." The soldier remembered everything in his mind, turned around and went down quickly.

According to the plan, Wu Nian waited for the follow-up troops in Jiangjie City, and first wiped out Jiangjie Prefecture and Yizhou Prefecture.

Wu Nian crossed the Yalu River, for Goguryeo.

Just like a drop of water falling into boiling oil, Goguryeo started boiling in an instant.

The news was conveyed from city to city to the capital of Goguryeo.

Countless well-informed Goguryeo noble families, businessmen, and even common people took their families and families to the capital or the rear in order to avoid the disaster.

After all, Wu Nian was a bandit.

The people of Goguryeo didn't know that Wu Nian's military discipline was outstanding and he would do no harm to the people of Goguryeo.

Goguryeo Royal Palace, outside the palace gate.

Many sedan chairs stopped, and then disheveled officials walked out one after another and hurriedly entered the palace. After arriving at the main hall, the officials couldn't help but whisper.

"I originally thought that with the help of the Fusang people, Wu Nian didn't dare to attack Goguryeo again. And there are various signs that Wu Nian will attack Huanglong Mansion next. How could he cross the river?"

"Yes. It was completely unexpected. Moreover, he not only crossed the river, but also attacked the Jiangjie Mansion. The prefect Zhang Chonglou died for his country."

"What a pity Zhang Chonglou."

All the civil and military officials were stunned by this sudden attack. Only a few veteran generals and famous ministers such as Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng were able to remain calm.

Not long after, a eunuch holding a whisk in his hand came in. Then a few important ministers, including Li Yongshan, Zhao Mancheng, Li Yunchong, etc., left the hall.

The remaining civil and military officials looked at each other.

Inside the side hall.

Li Jinzhu looked at the important ministers coming in, slightly opened his red lips, and his voice was slightly panicked.
