Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 603 Pyongyang 2

Wang Gui and Wu Gong led the army towards the city of Pyongyang.

At this moment, the city of Pyongyang is very quiet! When the war broke out, everyone hid in their homes, and ordinary civilians dared not come out at all.

"General, the military rations of the Koreans are stored in a row of warehouses ahead!" a soldier said.

"Very good! Occupy it immediately, and the Koreans must not let the army rations be burned!" Wang Gui said.

They all quickened their pace and were getting closer and closer to the intersection ahead. At this moment, dozens of Koreans came towards this side.

Soldiers of the Song Army immediately went up to meet them, and their bows and swords were aimed at these Koreans!

If it weren't for the fact that these Koreans were not carrying weapons, they would have killed these Koreans already!

"Who? How dare you trespass on our Great Song army!" Wang Gui shouted coldly.

"General, please forgive me! We are here to report important matters!" These dozens of Koreans were kneeling on the ground at this moment, and one of them, a middle-aged man wearing a Korean official uniform, said.

"Who are you?" Wang Gui looked at this person and asked.

"The villain is Pu Zhengyi, the prefect of Pyongyang. Hearing that Master Wang is coming, the villain came out to greet Master Wang!" the middle-aged man said.

"What? You are the prefect of Pyongyang?" Wang Gui had an expression of disbelief on his face.

He and Wu Gong next to him looked at each other, and Wu Gong also had a surprised expression in his eyes.

"It's the lower official! Those behind the lower official are all the gentry in Pyongyang. They heard that Master Wang is coming, and they all came out to greet him!" said the Pyongyang prefect named Park Zhengyi.

"Very well, get up!" Although Wang Gui felt that these people came a little strangely, he still said.

Immediately, these dozens of Koreans stood up. They were all dressed in rich and noble clothes. Except for Park Zhengyi, there were more than a dozen people wearing official uniforms. It seemed that they were all Korean officials from Pyongyang.

"General, the front is the place where Pyongyang stores rations. When we know that Wang Shi is coming, I am afraid that someone will destroy the rations, so we have sent government servants to take care of them! In addition, we have also packed up some documents and materials in Pyongyang's mansion. Hand it over to the general at any time! Pyongyang is the old capital of Goguryeo, and there is an imperial palace in the city. The imperial palace has been well repaired for more than a hundred years, and there are a lot of gold and silver treasures in it. People destroy these things!" Park Zhengyi followed behind Wang Gui and laughed.

"This..." Wang Gui was stunned.

He didn't know this Pu Zhengyi at all! Before he came, he had also communicated with the officials of the intelligence department of the General Staff Headquarters. He knew that the intelligence department had important latent personnel distributed in Pyongyang, but this definitely did not include Park Zhengyi, nor did it include the group of gentry behind Park Zhengyi.

But this moment is not the time to express surprise, Wang Gui nodded and said: "Very good, you have done a good job! When Koryo is completely conquered, we will definitely reward you well!"

Park Zhengyi had an ecstatic expression on his face, and said, "Thank you, General! Thank you, General!"

The gentry behind Park Zhengyi also showed ecstatic expressions on their faces.

Regarding the performance of Pu Zhengyi and others, Wang Gui, Wu Gong and the soldiers of the Song Army around them couldn't believe it!

What they don't know is that although there are honest gentlemen in this world, there are even more villains without shame.

When the Jurchen invaded the Central Plains, there were only 200,000 Jurchen troops, tens of millions of people in the Central Plains, and more than one million Song soldiers. The number of forbidden troops in Kaifeng Mansion alone reached 800,000! However, when the Jurchen arrived, all the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Central Plains looked down, and the 800,000 forbidden troops dispersed in a rush. Few people really fought the Jurchens to the death! Almost all the literati in the Central Plains have turned to the Jurchens and are willing to be used by the Jurchens. If there is no Zhao Chen, I am afraid that the Central Plains will fall completely like in history.

The situation of Goryeo and Song Dynasty is basically the same. All their systems are learned from Song Dynasty, and the system of governing military affairs with literature is also learned from Song Dynasty! This country and the civil servants who ruled this country are not bloody at all. They say "Confucianism is benevolent, Meng is righteousness". However, when the Song army arrives, there are not many who can really die for the country. People either become ostriches, or take the initiative to take refuge in Song Dynasty and take pride in it.

This country is fundamentally different from Goguryeo back then! Goguryeo back then was an uncivilized barbarian race similar to Khitan and Jurchen, and its fighting power was extremely strong. Therefore, even with the strength of Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the power of Emperor Sui Yang and Tang Taizong, Goguryeo could not be defeated. Goryeo is just a reduced version. Confucian country only.

Wang Gui, Wu Gong and others came to the place where the military food was stored, and they found a large number of Pyongyang government servants here, and those government servants immediately knelt down when they saw them.

After Song Jun entered the granary, everything was normal here, and the food was well protected.

"General, the food here is enough for the seven million people in Koryo for three years! This is the reserve of the Koryo court for decades!" Park Zhengyi bent down to follow behind Wang Gui, and said respectfully.

"Very good!" Wang Gui nodded.

They were talking here, and there were footsteps outside again. After a while, Wu Lin strode in here, and Wu Lin was still holding a person in his hand. If it wasn't Wang Lin, who was it?

The two met, looked at each other and laughed.

"Now Pyongyang has been taken down by us, and Kaijing has also been taken down by us! The court and king of Goryeo have already opened the capital, and countless officials and feudal kings in Pyongyang have been captured by us. The first step set by the General Staff Headquarters The mission is complete! Next, we should go to the Great Wall area!" Wang Gui said.

"The Koreans still have hundreds of thousands of troops. Next, we will defeat all of them! At that time, the Koreans will no longer have the power to resist! But before we go to the Great Wall, we still have to completely recover Pyongyang. OK, lest there are still some resistance forces." Wu Lin said.

"Don't worry, the two generals, the lower officials will definitely maintain the order in Pyongyang and won't let people rebel against Master Wang." Li Yien said hastily.

Wang Gui and Wu Lin shook their heads, with dumbfounding smiles on their faces.

*** ***

Under the city of Yaozhou in Liaodong, it was already June 3rd.

The confrontation between the Koreans and the Song army in Liaoyang Prefecture on the opposite side is still going on, but until now there has been no real war between the two sides.

Song Jun did not take the initiative to attack, and the Koreans also knew that they were not Song Jun's opponents, so they kept on the defensive.

The guard of Yaozhou City, Jin Changsheng, braved the scorching sun and came to the city wall to watch the situation of the Song army on the opposite side. The guards of Kaizhou, Chenzhou and other places also followed him to the city wall.

"When will the Song army retreat?" Chenzhou guard asked.

"An Pulin, Li Rui and the others should have signed a contract with the Song court. When the Song court's order arrives, the Song army on the opposite side will inevitably retreat! At that time, they will give up Liaoyang Mansion or the entire Liaodong! I can't wait now I really want to see their expressions at that time!" Jin Changsheng said.

The guards in Kaizhou, Chenzhou and other places couldn't help laughing.

They were pointing at Song Jun here, and at this moment, a figure in the distance came towards here.

The man was getting closer and closer, and it could be seen that he was dressed as a Korean.

Soon, the man came to the gate of Yaozhou city, he shouted loudly for a while, the gate opened and he was let in.

Jin Changsheng and the others were still talking and joking on the top, they had no interest in the Korean man who suddenly appeared below, but who would have thought that the Korean man came to them after reporting layer upon layer.

The Korean looked extremely embarrassed. He was extremely dirty, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were full of anxiety. At this moment, he hastily knelt down.

"See General Jin, see you generals!" the Korean man said.

"What's the matter?" Jin Changsheng asked impatiently.

"The villain came from Kaijing! Something big happened in Kaijing!" the Korean man panted.

"What's the big deal?" Jin Changsheng asked.

"The Song Army broke through Kaizhou City, Your Majesty has been captured by the Song Army!" the Korean man said.

"What!" Jin Changsheng froze there all of a sudden, with an expression of extreme astonishment on his face.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The Chenzhou guard next to him kicked the Korean man to the ground and said coldly.

"Generals, it's absolutely true that the Song Army has captured Kaijing, and His Majesty has already been captured by them! The villain is the guard of Kaizhou City. He escaped from Kaizhou City that night, and then came to Chenzhou by boat. Who knows that all the generals are here, so the villain came here on horseback! Generals, hurry up and save Your Majesty!" The Korean man said in a hoarse voice with chapped lips.

"Nonsense! How could Song Jun have gone to Kaijing?" Jin Changsheng frowned.

From Jin Changsheng's point of view, the Korean in front of him is almost a lunatic, talking lunatics! Goryeo is far away from the mainland and has been extremely safe since ancient times. How could it be suddenly broken by the Song army?

The current situation in the world is that Song people are at odds with civil and military forces. Song people want to negotiate with Goryeo, and Song people want to send Liaodong to Goryeo! Under such circumstances, there is absolutely no reason for Song Jun to suddenly go to war with Goryeo.

"Pull this person down!" The Chenzhou guard waved his hand and said.

Immediately, several soldiers pulled the Korean man down, but the voice of the Korean man continued to be heard, which sounded extremely shrill.

"It's ridiculous! A lunatic came here from Korea!" Jin Changsheng smiled wryly.

The other generals also shook their heads one after another. They obviously didn't believe what the soldier said just now.

However, in the afternoon of this day, more than a dozen Koreans came here, and what these people said was exactly the same as what the previous Korean said!

In the evening, the Deputy Privy Envoy of Kaijing Privy Council came to Yaozhou City in a panic, and once again the news that Kaizhou City was broken!

That night, riots broke out in the Koryo Army in Yaozhou City! Countless soldiers got the relevant rumors about opening the capital, and many soldiers showed anxious expressions on their faces.

On the fourth day of June, hundreds of Koreans from Kaijing came to Yaozhou City to report the news.
