The troops were so quick that the Chu army would leave tonight, which no one could have imagined. It was on the day of retreat that Lu Xun revealed his plan to Xu Sheng and Chen Wu. What Lu Xun had decided would not happen.
Another change occurred. After Xu Sheng and Chen Wu met Lu Xun, the Chu army searched all over the city, but only for food. The people in the city wailed and wailed throughout the city.
Lu Xun personally led the troops and burned all the looted food and military rations. The Chu army only had ten days of rations left. Then, Lu Xun ordered people to destroy the catapults. After doing all this, Lu Xun gathered
The army slaughtered all the remaining cattle and sheep in the city to reward the three armies.
There were more than 12,000 Chu troops in Pyongyang. By the time the Chu troops had everything ready, it was already getting dark.
(Don’t ask me how Lu Xun gave the order from a distance. The scouts were not dead. Not to mention the Gongsun family’s large army. In ancient times, there were people who rushed out of the besieged city to ask for help.)
After dark, the people were sad enough and went home or hid in every place in the city with hatred and curses towards the Chu army. Liu Xun ordered to put away the flags and braziers on the city wall. 1 hour before midnight
At this moment, the Chu army opened the city gate and released tens of thousands of people!
"Report!"
"General, tens of thousands of people have come out of Pyongyang."
Late at night, the Gongsun family's scouts came back and reported to Pyongyang's general Lu Xin.
After hearing this, Lu Xin 1 instantly lost his sleepiness, stared at the scout and asked, "Where is the Chu army?"
"No Chu troops were seen, but the flags and braziers on the city wall were removed, and no one was seen on the city."
"Haha! The Chu army must have mingled with the people and want to escape? There are no doors. Give me some troops to hunt down the people. Today is the day to defeat the Chu thieves!"
"promise!"
After the scout left, Lu Xin stroked his beard contentedly. No matter whether there were Chu troops among the people or not, as long as he pursued the enemy, he would be credited. If the time came, he would go to Gongsun Gong with his head to claim credit. How could he deny it?
Rumor has it that Lu Xun is very cunning. It is not easier to pursue the people and kill good people and take credit than it is to deal with the Chu army? Besides, Gongsun Gong himself said that everything in Korea belongs to them. At this time, robbing and killing the people is legal.
Lu Xin didn't feel any guilt in her heart. Instead, she was proud of her cleverness. She turned to the two robbed women lying on the bed and said, "Come here and dress me!"
It is easy for a person to change from good to bad, but it is too difficult to change from bad to good. After the Gongsun family's army tasted the sweetness of plunder, no one is willing to fight to the death honestly, and no one wants to rob more
With some gold and silver, who wouldn’t want a few more women?
From the generals down to the soldiers, the Gongsun family's army is in ruins. It is true that if Gongsun Gong was present and ordered to attack the city, the soldiers would sacrifice their lives for everything in the city, but people have selfish motives.
The army under military orders is two-sided.
~&
The people of North Korea are indeed pitiful. They finally walked out of the city wall that trapped them, but they were plundered and killed by the Gongsun family's army. After this battle, North Korea's household registration will probably be reduced by half!
On the second day, Gongsun Gong, who was in northern Korea, received the battle report. He looked at the battle report in disbelief. After reading it, he slapped the battle report on the table in anger!
"Bang!"
"Bullshit!"
Qin Geng stepped forward cautiously and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Gongsun Gong said bitterly, "Both Lu Xin and Zhang Chang sent battle reports, saying that all Chu troops withdrew yesterday, and they both led large armies to pursue them. Lu Xin said that their troops beheaded 20,000 people, and Zhang Chang said that their troops had killed 20,000 people.
40,000 beheaded! How many people did the Chu army have in total? These two bastards must have killed the common people to serve as the Chu army."
Qin Geng sighed and said, "Since entering the dynasty, the army has directly looted and killed people. This is nothing new. Your Majesty, please don't take it too seriously."
The order was given by Gongsun Gong impulsively. What can Qin Geng say? He was the one who accused Gongsun Gong, right? I'm afraid he doesn't want to live anymore. Even if this damn eunuch has become wiser recently, what if he was impulsive?
What about killing yourself?
Gongsun Gong already regretted giving that order. Seeing that Gongsun Gong was still angry, Qin Geng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what, the Chu army has withdrawn and we have captured the entire Korean Peninsula. This is a good thing."
Gongsun Gong nodded, "Since the Chu army has retreated, the people of Korea are the people of our country. According to the order of Chuangu, the army sergeants and soldiers, anyone who dares to touch the people's property will have their arms cut off! Anyone who dares to kill the people at will will be punished.
Behead!”
"Your Majesty, these soldiers are already at their peak. I am afraid that this order cannot stop their greed and cruelty. I am afraid it will also damage the morale of the army and cause turmoil."
Gongsun Gong glanced at him and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Qin Geng thought for a while and said, "Only the class teacher is the most appropriate."
"North Korea has just been pacified and the place is not yet stable. How can we withdraw our troops immediately? Among the tens of thousands of troops, only a few thousand soldiers around us have not participated in the looting. We will first reward them with a generous sum of money, form a supervision team, and assign them
Go to the various armies to supervise, and those who dare to disobey orders will be killed without mercy!"
It has to be said that Gongsun Gong, who became wiser, did look a bit like a leader. "I will send a message to Liaodong again and ask the governors and officials in various places to collect food. Hurry up. The Korean war is too broken. I must win over the hearts of the people quickly."
"
"promise."
"In addition, ask each locality to prepare a group of literate officials to come over and govern the place quickly. We can no longer allow the soldiers to do whatever they want."
"promise."
"Okay, all of you, please step back. I have to deal with military affairs."
"promise."

After everyone retreated, Gongsun Gong slowly stood up and looked at the sky outside the camp with excitement, "Brother, father, I did it. The Gongsun family has reached its peak in Gu's hands. You have seen it in heaven."
You must be happy for Gu, right?"
At this moment, Gongsun Gongcai felt that a three-inch thing was nothing, and a man should build immortal achievements in order to leave his name in the history of Zhaozhao!
Gongsun Gong is not ready to return to Liaodong. The Korean Peninsula is a good place. The Chu army can use the Maqu River to defend itself against itself, and he can also use the Maqu River to defend against Cao Wei!
Xiangping in Liaodong is too close to Cao Wei. The Wei army can directly attack the capital by crossing the Liaoxi Corridor. Now with North Korea, it is different. With the addition of Liaodong and the old territory of Goguryeo, the strategic depth of the Gongsun family has become extremely good. Two
Within 3 years, North Korea was properly governed, the population was relocated from Goguryeo and Liaodong, and the capital was set in Pyongyang.
By then, the population of Liaodong and the old areas of Goguryeo plus the population of North Korea, with a household registration of 1.67 million, will be enough to establish a country and become king. By then, after his father and brother are named, and the country is established, that will be the pinnacle!
Well, it’s just that I can’t have children. It doesn’t matter. When the affairs in Korea are over, I will adopt my eldest brother’s son Gongsun Yuan into my own name. When he becomes the king and establishes the country, he will be appointed as the prince and passed on to future generations. I should be the ancestor or
Is it true?
If the descendants of future generations strive to be successful, relying on this inheritance, they may not be able to aspire to the world. Then, as the first person to bring the Gongsun family to the top, I will be even more brilliant in the history books.
Thinking about it, Gongsun Gong stretched his body and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Liu Cong, Liu Cong, are you at odds with Gu? Let's see how you, the Chu State, will have war horses in the future?"
