The noble leaders gathered in the royal city of Goguryeo had been waiting for the arrival of the Han army.

But a few days later, what surprised them was that what they were waiting for was not the Han army attacking the royal city, but the battle reports that the other cities had been defeated one after another.

The nobles of Goguryeo were very shocked and puzzled by this.

He assembled hundreds of thousands of troops in the royal city, just waiting for the Han army to come and fight to the death. As a result, he was frightened for several days and found that the Han army did not come at all.

This feeling is like trying your best to punch but hitting the cotton, full of powerlessness.

But before they had time to analyze the reasons, battle reports came in from all over the place.

Because several of the cities that were captured were the nests of the noble leaders who stayed in the royal city, and their family members who stayed in the city were all killed.

Therefore, the remaining noble leaders were afraid that their hometowns would also be taken away by the Han army, and they all wanted to return to their hometowns to guard them.

But their idea was dissuaded by the Lord of Haicheng.

The Lord of Haicheng City said to these nobles:"Everyone, the Han army is powerful at this time, and we cannot divide our troops no matter what.

If everyone returns to their hometowns, not only will the royal city not be able to be saved, but you will also be defeated one by one by the Han army."

After hearing what the Lord of Haicheng City said, all the noble leaders thought it was reasonable. However, if they did not go back, they would definitely not be able to save their old nests, so they asked the Lord of Haicheng City if they had any good ideas.

In response to their questions, the Lord of Haicheng City said:"As you have seen, the fighting power of the Han army is definitely beyond the strength of the troops you have left behind in your respective lairs. The plan for now is to ask you to bring all your soldiers to bear." Concentrate on the royal city, gather the power of the entire Goguryeo, and complete it in one battle, so that you can defeat the Han army."

This suggestion of the Lord of Haicheng City had been put forward by Liu Feng when he had just conquered Haicheng.

It's just that at that time, the major noble leaders did not want to use all their belongings to help others resist powerful enemies.

They also wanted to use their military strength to fight for the throne of Goguryeo after repelling the Han army.

Therefore, no one agreed to the proposal of the Lord of Haicheng City at that time.

This also resulted in many of the remaining troops left in their old nests being wiped out by the Han army.

Now, the noble leaders have seen the strength of the Han army and realized that the troops staying outside are of no use except to add more prisoners to the Han army.

So now they all agreed with the proposal of the Lord of Haicheng City and ordered all troops to be concentrated in the royal city.

When they gave the order, the Lord of Haicheng also reminded them not to forget to bring all their family members to the royal city.

Although the noble leaders in the Goguryeo Royal City responded quickly, it took a certain amount of time to pass on the order and assemble the troops.

Therefore, many Goguryeo soldiers in the city had already encountered the Liaodong army before they had time to set out for the royal city, and were immediately defeated.

There are also Goguryeo soldiers in some cities who have received orders from their leaders to march towards the royal city.

But they encountered the Liaodong army on the way.

Facing an army of tens of thousands of slaves and 10,000 elite men watching from behind, the frightened Goguryeo soldiers had no support in the city and even gave up resistance and knelt down to surrender.

Liu Feng also ignored those cities that had been evacuated.

Without the defenders, he directly ordered the army to enter the city, took all the remaining adult male citizens in the city as prisoners, and trained them into an army of slaves.

After three months, all the cities except the royal city of Goguryeo had been occupied by Liu Feng's army.

At this time, the Goguryeo Kingdom was close to being destroyed, and finally only one royal city remained.

After three months of siege, the slave army had expanded to more than 200,000 people, including not only a large number of Goguryeo soldiers, but also many Goguryeo men and civilians.

After taking all the cities, Liu Feng drove 200,000 slaves back to Haicheng.

The Liaodong army rested in Haicheng for three days, and 200,000 slaves also continued training in Haicheng for three days.

Three days later, Liu Feng ordered the Liaodong Army and an army of 200,000 slaves to approach the gates of the royal city of Goguryeo.

At this time, in the royal city of Goguryeo, there were 400,000 soldiers gathered by the leaders of the nobles.

Although the number was twice that of the Han army, they still had no confidence in victory.

At this time, the leaders of the major nobles were filled with regret.

If he had followed the advice of the Lord of Haicheng from the beginning and concentrated all his troops in the royal city, he would have at least 200,000 more troops on his side now.

The Han army's Goguryeo prisoners numbered no more than 70,000.

If that were the case, with an army of 600,000 fighting against an army of 80,000, the winning rate would be much greater.

But it's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.

No matter how much they blame themselves, they can't change the current situation.

They were blinded by selfishness and desire, and this is the price that must be paid.

The Lord of Haicheng, who was standing on top of the royal city, looked at the dark army of 200,000 slaves below the city with mixed feelings in his heart.

He had fought against the great Han Dragon General under the city when the previous King of Goguryeo was killed, and knew that not only was he a peerless military general, but his army's combat effectiveness was also unmatched by him.

However, precisely because he knew how powerful the opponent was, he came up with the best suggestions that could withstand the opponent's army.

However, this group of aristocratic leaders who were experts in civil war but not foreign war did not adopt it.

He was full of enthusiasm for this, but could not use it. In addition, all his men and family members had been killed by the Han army, so he couldn't help but feel discouraged.

However, facing the Han generals under the city, he still asked unwillingly:"General Long of the Han Dynasty, I, Goguryeo, have no enmity with you, the Han Dynasty. Why do you want to kill us all today?

Aren't you afraid of provoking the Han army ?" A war with all the foreign races?"

After hearing what the Lord of Haicheng said, Liu Feng was so angry that he looked up to the sky and laughed three times.

Then he said angrily:"Goguryeo has no enmity with the Han Dynasty?

It is a shameless nation that would say such a thing. Let's just say that half a year ago, your King Goguryeo took advantage of the civil strife of the Yellow Turban Uprising of the Han Dynasty. The first time we sent troops to Liaodong to burn, kill and loot.

How long has it been since then and you have forgotten?"

After hearing this, the Lord of Haicheng City defended feebly:"That was instigated by your former Liaodong Governor.

He said that the Han Dynasty was in civil strife at that time and wanted to invite the king. Send troops to attack Liaodong.

The King of Han has no time to deal with the affairs of Liaodong. He will only allocate money to Liaodong and let them recruit troops to solve the problem.

When he can get the money, our soldiers can steal the food of the people of Liaodong, killing two birds with one stone, and everyone can get something. What he needs.

The king was confused by him."

The Lord of Haicheng knew that he was wrong, and the more he spoke, the softer he became.

When Liu Feng heard what he said, he became even more angry. He said:"I have killed the original governor of Liaodong and punished nine of his tribes.

But he deserves to die, and you who burned, killed and looted my Han people will not be able to escape either..

I am not afraid of provoking a war between the Han and other foreign races.

Because all of your foreign races have massacred my Han people. If you, Goguryeo, will be destroyed, all the other foreign races will be wiped out one by one."

Haicheng City Lord After hearing what Liu Feng said, he said in horror:"You are indeed a devil!"

After hearing this, Liu Feng responded calmly:"Have you ever heard of a saying: 'Anyone who offends me, a big man, will be punished no matter how far away'?

Today, I have one more message for you: Anyone who offends my great man will be killed!"
