On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 348 Seizing Liaodong

Seeing Cui Che's suspicious eyes on him, Guan Nu Yusheng quickly distanced himself from the relationship without worrying about his clan uncle's safety.

Cui Che didn't make things difficult for him. After all, if he really wanted to harm himself, he would definitely have to trick him into the city before he would start an attack.

There is no situation like this. While our own people are still in the camp, the city is already in chaos.

Cui Che was shocked and confused, so after leaving enough defenders behind, Cui Che personally led the army to the outside of Liaodong City, intending to see what was going on.

He also didn't forget to take Guonu Yusheng with him.

Guan Nu Yusheng followed Cui Che on horseback, guessing in his mind:

Is today's turmoil related to what I let slip last night?

Could it be that the troops of the royal family were unwilling to surrender the city, so a war broke out with the clan uncle.

Of course, he did not dare to tell Cui Che his conjecture.

If the other party knew that it was his talk that caused the surrender to go sideways, Cui Che would definitely not spare him.

When Cui Che arrived at Liaodong City, the shouts of killing in the city had not subsided. He was worried that there was a scam in the city, so he did not approach the city.

"Yusheng, can you enter the city and help me find out what happened?"

Cui Che shouted kindly, but Guan Nu Yusheng felt nervous. The situation in the city was not clear yet. If the party that supported the uncle's surrender to the Sui army was defeated, wouldn't he be gone without a chance to return?

But Cui Che seemed to be asking, but in reality, Yusheng was not allowed to refuse.

Cui Che selected a young man who volunteered from among the five thousand soldiers.

This young man has a strong back and a strong back, and he looks like a powerful warrior at first glance. When he was a surrender soldier and was forced to attack the city, his tenacious performance also left a deep impression on Cui Che.

Cui Che asked:

"May I have your name?"

After the translator relayed it, the young man raised his hands and said:

"Reporting to Duke Yan, I am happy to be in power. My ancestor Mi Dang was given the surname Gao because of his meritorious service in fighting against the Gongsun family in Liaodong. He is now serving as a centurion in the army."

Cui Che muttered:

"Since you are not your real surname, there is no need to take the surname Gao. Now that you have submitted to me, would you like to change your surname to Cui?"

The translator was greatly surprised, but he still faithfully translated what Cui Che said into Goguryeo.

Hearing this, Gao Xingwu dismounted without hesitation, knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and said excitedly:

"Cui Xingwu would like to thank Duke Yan for the surname!"

He knew that a bright future had appeared at his feet.

As for changing his surname, Gao Xingwu, no, Cui Xingwu has no psychological burden at all. His ancestors can change it, but he can't.

Today's Duke of Yan is far more powerful than Gao Yanyou, the King of Goguryeo four hundred years ago.

Cui Che smiled and said:

"Get up and work hard from now on, I won't treat you badly."

Cui Xingwu was so inspired that he bid farewell to Cui Che and carefully escorted slave Yusheng to the city wall.

Facing the arrows protruding from the city wall, Guannu Yusheng shouted:

"Hurry up and put down the hanging basket. I am Yu Sheng, a slave slave. I have been ordered by Duke Yan of the Sui Dynasty to come back to check the situation!"

Soon, a hanging basket was thrown down. When Guannu Yusheng was hung up on the city wall, the hanging basket was thrown down again, and Cui Xingwu sat on it.

After following Eulji Mundeok out of the city, he was driven to attack the city several times. Cui Xingwu finally returned to Liaodong City.

Guan Nu Yusheng didn't know what kind of stimulation he received, but he was dumbfounded and his jaw dropped.

Guannu Yusheng murmured:

"How is it possible! How could uncle lie to me!"

The general who asked the hanging basket to be put down sighed:

"That's what happened. Guannu Laisa wanted to feign surrender, which triggered a mutiny in the city.

“Now the two parties are fighting in the city, and some people even take the opportunity to set fire to and loot.

"If I hadn't been worried that Duke Yan of the Sui Dynasty would be resentful of the slaves Li Sa and unwilling to keep his previous promise, I would have opened the city gates long ago."

Cui Xingwu was speechless when he heard the words. He believed his eyes even more.

There were many mutilated corpses on the city wall, which had obviously gone through a bloody battle. When he looked into the city from the east wall, what he saw was that everything was in chaos, and from time to time, women were raped and humiliated in the street by violent soldiers.

There were corpses everywhere and black blood flowing on the streets.

There were fires in many places in the city, thick smoke billowing, and the sounds of killing, crying, and wailing could be heard endlessly.

Cui Xingwu had only heard about the coalition massacre in Houcheng, but had not seen it with his own eyes.

But looking at the tragic scene in Liaodong City today, one can somewhat imagine what kind of hell the city was like back then.

What is the difference between the coalition forces and the Goguryeo people? Once they indulge their desires, they will not all turn into beasts.

At this point, Cui Xingwu no longer had any knots in his heart.

Cui Xingwu confirmed that civil strife had indeed broken out in the city and urged:

"Hurry up and order people to open the city gate. I will go out of the city to lure Duke Yan in and quell the riots in the city. If the delay continues, even if the Sui army does not enter the city, Liaodong City will be destroyed by the rebels."

The general guarding the city wall finally woke up and quickly ordered someone to open the door.

And Cui Xingwu didn't understand the stunned Guan Yusheng. He sat on the hanging basket again and was lowered down the city wall.

Turning over and sitting on his horse, Cui Xingwu raised his whip vigorously and returned to the front of the formation.

Cui Xingwu truthfully told Cui Che what he saw on the city wall. Cui Che did not doubt it. He gave Cui Xingwu a surname just to ensure the authenticity of the information.

Seeing the east gate open wide, Cui Che shouted:

"Cui Qiji! Dusu Liu! Ah Hui Geye! Where is the Great Hemo Society!"

Four people came out in response:

"The end is here!"

Today Cui Qiji did not stay at the Khitan camp, but was brought to the front line by Cui Che.

Cui Che assigned:

"The four of you will lead the cavalry into the city and maintain order for me!

"Tell everyone to put down their weapons. Anyone holding a knife on the street will be killed without mercy!"

All four of them agreed.

Cui Che then sent Cui Xingwu to lead five thousand Goguryeo cavalry to the east gate to take over the city defense.

The cavalry of the four ethnic coalition forces had already rushed into Liaodong City, and Cui Xingwu, who took over the defense of Dongcheng, also sent a signal on the city wall. Cui Che then led the remaining infantry towards Liaodong.

As the coalition forces entered the city, the unrest was quickly quelled, and Cui Che officially took charge of Liaodong City.

He came to Guan Nu Jiacheng's mansion. At this time, Cui Che had learned that Guan Nu Jiacheng had killed all his wives and concubines, but he was captured.

When Guan Nu Jiacheng was escorted in front of him, Cui Che said curiously:

"Since you had a death wish and killed all your wives and concubines, why didn't you commit suicide?"

Guan Nu Jiacheng looked decadent, and he snorted:

"In Buddhism, those who commit suicide will not regain their human body, but they want to die quickly, so there is no need to say more."

Guan Nu Jiacheng spoke Chinese. As the highest official in Liaodong City, adjacent to the Central Plains Dynasty, it was not unusual for him to speak some Chinese.

Cui Che nodded secretly, he turned out to be a Buddhist.

These days, there is indeed a saying in Buddhism that a person who commits suicide will no longer be a human being in the next life.

He admired the loyalty of Guan Nu Jiacheng, but even at such a time, he still thought of surrendering and turning the tables.

But I don't want to keep him anymore.

Cui Che waved his hand and said:

"Drag him out and behead him."

Chapter 4 is here. I wrote more than a thousand words for the extra chapter before, but I felt it wasn’t written well, so I deleted it again. I’ll post it again tomorrow. It’s gone today.
