Gao Shun's plan was by no means as simple as using his wife as a cover to suddenly attack the Pyongyang fortress.

In addition to the 30,000 naval troops, Gao Shun's troops gathered in Yunshan also included more than 5,000 infantrymen just sent from Jiangbei area, totaling 25,000 infantry troops.

Of course, Gao Shun would not let these large infantry troops go idle, so during the ten days when he was "raising money" for Jin Tian, ​​he secretly sent Zhang Gao to lead 10,000 troops southward and quietly entered Pingcheng County.

, to join Liu He's more than 6,000 soldiers and horses.

Gao Shun was also sure that Jin Tian would not refuse to pay him, so a few days before the ten-day deadline, he sent an order to Liu He, ordering them to mobilize all their troops in Pingcheng and report to the former generals stationed in Xi'an County.

The troops launched a sudden attack.

The former general's army numbered only a few thousand, so how could they withstand the sudden attack of the well-prepared and several times larger Chu army? Under unfavorable circumstances, they could only retreat steadily, all the way to the lower reaches of the Xiushui River and to the gates of Pyongyang City.

The Chu army's elite infantry and cavalry marched all the way and attacked the hinterland of Pyongyang City in a few days.

Once the city of Pyongyang is lost, the entire Chu army can directly cross the entire northern mountainous area, and then unify the entire Korean Peninsula. Even if it cannot directly unify the Korean Peninsula, it will directly threaten Pyongyang's flanks and rear from the land route. At that time, it will face front and rear attacks.

How could Jintian, with only 20,000 troops whose morale had not yet recovered, be able to withstand Gao Shun's encirclement of more than 50,000 land and sea troops?

Jin Tian's remaining confidence was instantly shattered by this astonishing information.

One after another, the sentry ships flew back, constantly stimulating Jin Tian's nerves with news of the approaching Gao Shun navy.

Zhang Gao was so anxious that sweat was pouring from his forehead, and he said anxiously: "My lord, please don't hesitate any longer. If the Chu army is killed and Pyongyang is surrounded, the great event will come to an end."

Jin Tian trembled with fright. He knew that Zhang Gao was definitely not threatening.

Originally he thought it would be too shameful to abandon Pyongyang without a fight, but now it seems that if he wants to lose face, his life will be at risk.

In desperation, Jin Tian sighed and said bitterly: "Send the order and order all the troops to rise up and withdraw to Lujiang County by waterway immediately."

Zhang Gaochang breathed a sigh of relief, and when the order was passed, all the camps immediately became busy. The panicked Korean troops hurriedly boarded the boats, fearing that they would be killed by the Chu troops and unable to escape.

At this time, Jin Tian suddenly thought of something, "If my main force withdraws, what will happen to the former general and Lu Xun's army?"

The general of the former army is currently guarding Haihun, and Lu Xun, who had previously been ordered by Jin Tian to assist the general of the former army and strengthen the defense of Pingcheng, is probably still on the road at this moment.

Zhang Gao thought for a while and said: "Now that things have come to a close, I don't have much time to worry about, so I asked my lord to issue an order quickly, ordering him and me to abandon the warship and retreat by land to Poyang County to defend, so as not to be surrounded by the Chu army.

"

Jin Tian thought about it and had no choice but to follow Zhang Gao's plan.

At dusk that day, Jin Tian led 20,000 North Korean troops and hundreds of warships, and hurriedly escaped from the Pyongyang Fortress before Gao Shun's navy arrived, and retreated towards Wankou, more than a hundred miles downstream.

Because he was escaping in such a hurry, Jin Tian had no time to carry the mountains of military supplies in the Pyongyang Fortress to the ship and take them away. In order not to leave these military supplies to Gao Shun, Jin Tian could only order with heartache, a fire general

These military supplies were burned together with the Pyongyang Fortress.

When the 30,000 navy troops led by Lieutenant General Gan Ning arrived in a mighty manner, the entire Pyongyang Stronghold was reduced to a sea of ​​flames.

At this time, Jin Tian, ​​like a panicked mouse, led his 20,000 navy troops to escape more than 20 miles away.

Of course Gan Ning and others knew that Jin Tian was planning to flee to Wankou. Considering that Wankou was a hundred miles away, it would be detrimental to himself if he pursued them and stretched the front too long.

So Gan Ning and others stopped their pursuit, marched into Pyongyang, put out the fire, and set up camp again on the ruins.

One day later, the rear army led by Gao Shunqin also arrived in Pyongyang.

After boarding the Caochuang Water Village and looking around at the ashes there, Gao Shun sighed with emotion: "Your second brother's reaction is really astute and he escaped quite quickly."

Gao Shun's words were obviously meant for Lord Jin who was accompanying him.

Although Gao Shun did not agree to a ceasefire with Jin Tian, ​​he did not go too far and still took the leader of Jin as his concubine.

When Gan Ning and other generals led their troops to attack Pyongyang, Gao Shun, who was in Yunshan, held a short ceremony to officially take the King of Jin as his concubine and give himself a new Mrs. Sun.

Defeating an enemy and then taking their daughter or sister as a concubine is a strong sense of accomplishment that cannot be described in words.

Today, Gao Bian took his new wife to show her how the brother he admired fled in such a mess.

Lord Jin silently looked at the Pyongyang Camp in ruins, and was deeply shocked again.

How strong the Pyongyang Fortress is, Sun Shang had seen it before when he was on the road.

Lord Jin originally believed that the fall of Yunshan was only caused by the second brother's momentary misstep and was not a crime of war.

But now, seeing Jin Tian abandoning such an important place without a fight, Lord Jin began to have deep doubts in her heart about her second brother, whom she had always regarded as a powerful warrior.

When the people got the camp, they set up a separate tent for the King of Jin. Gao Shunsui summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.

Ling Tong, who was eager for revenge, naturally advocated continuing to go eastward along the river and wiping out Jintian in one fell swoop, but the deputy general had a different view.

The deputy general believed that although the Korean army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Fukou, it had not lost its ability to resist. Jin Tian still had at least 20,000 mobile troops on hand. He still had troops at his disposal on the Korean Peninsula and Huainan.

On the way to Moling, the North Korean army also set up the North Korean cities of Pyongyang and Seoul. If the North Koreans turned their backs to Jiangdong and held on to the danger, Gao Shun would still have to go through many twists and turns to destroy North Korea.

Moreover, at this time, Pyongyang has not yet fallen, and Yunshan and Pyongyang's flanks are always under threat from the North Korean army. It would be too much to assume that it would be too risky to drive straight people at this time.

Therefore, the deputy general suggested that on the one hand, the Pyongyang camp should be built first to ensure a firm foothold on this front line, and on the other hand, the two counties of Pingcheng and Seoul in the south should be wiped out to ensure the safety of the flanks, and then it would not be too late to advance troops.

"The civilian officials are right. There are 6,000 Korean troops surrounded by the former army general and Lu Xun along the sea. The former army general is not something to be afraid of, but this Lu Xun is a hidden danger. If these two people are not eliminated, how can I rest assured?"

Enter."

Gao Shun's words set the tone for the coming march.

So, after some deliberation, Gao Shun decided to leave the navy to guard Pyongyang. Gao Shun then led his infantry southward and joined Zhang Gao's generals to encircle and annihilate the North Korean army led by Lu Xun and the former general who were trapped in Haihun City.

.

After the military meeting was over, Gao Shun inspected all the camps again to express his condolences to the officers and soldiers. After having a dinner with the officers and soldiers, it was already night when Gao Shun returned to his tent.

As soon as you step into the inner tent, you will see the mist of water in front of you, the fragrance is thick, and the sound of gurgling water can be heard in your ears.

Turning around the screen, I saw Lord Jin squatting beside the big wooden basin, with his slender arms like lotus roots, adjusting the water temperature.

Seeing Gao Shun's tent, Lord Jin hurriedly stood up and came to greet him, with a sweet smile on his pretty face.

"Husband, you are back. I have heated some hot water, just in time for my husband to take a bath and wash away the fatigue."

After speaking, Lord Jin stepped forward and personally helped Gao Shun remove his armor and clothes.

Looking at the gentle and considerate new lady in front of him, Gao Shun was quite surprised.

Although the previous Lady Jin had become a Gao Shun woman, she could not hide her forced look when serving Gao Shun. However, today, she was so proactive and considerate in serving Gao Shun, which was completely different from her previous attitude.

Showing hospitality for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Thoughts quickly flashed through Gao Shun's mind, but he didn't point them out and just let her serve him.

Gao Shun took off his armor and clothes in a calm and natural manner, but an uncomfortable look flashed across Lord Jin's smiling face from time to time.

She has always been martial and used to being served by others, but now she has to serve others, so naturally she feels a little uncomfortable.

And when Gao Shun took off his last piece of clothing and "faced each other frankly", Lord Jin blushed suddenly and quickly turned his eyes away, not daring to look at the towering thing.

She looked so shy at this time, but she looked very cute.

Gao Shun deliberately walked past her, opened his thighs, and sat in the bathtub carelessly.

Although Lord Jin was ashamed, he could only pretend that nothing happened.

"Come here and wipe my husband's back." Gao Shun sat in the tub with his body open, like an uncle. In other words, he was an uncle.

Lord Jin had never done this kind of thing before, but now that she was Gao Shun's concubine, she had to do this job even if she didn't want to.

So Lord Jin could only force a smile and clumsily rubbed Gao Shun's back.

Her green-onion-like hands moved across her back from time to time, and the itchy feeling gradually aroused Gao Shun's desire.

The fire in his heart gradually rose, Gao Shun suddenly stood up from the water, and turned his naked body to face Lord Jin.

Lord Jin was startled, and when he suddenly raised his head, flushed shame instantly filled his face, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Madam, what are you still doing? Don't you want to wipe your husband's body?" Gao Shun said seriously.

"Hmm."

Lord Jin came back to his senses and hesitated for a moment, but could only suppress his shame, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and continued to wipe Gao Shun's body.

"Husband, can't you make peace with your second brother? In fact, there is nothing wrong with the two families living in harmony."

Lord Jin was wiping and talking as if he was making small talk.

Sure enough.

Gao Shun knew that his new wife, who was suddenly so proactive and attentive, probably wanted to seek peace for Jin Tian.

Gao Shun sneered, "It is difficult for the two states of Jing and Yang to coexist. If I, Gao Shun, were defeated today, would your second brother Jin Tian let me go just because I married you?"

Gao Shun asked back, leaving Lord Jin stunned.

Annexing Liaodong and annihilating the Gongsun family was the national policy set by Jin Tian long ago, and it was also a consensus reached by all the people in the Middle East and North Korea. Although Lord Jin did not participate in military matters, he had already been aware of it through his own influence.

In troubled times, it's either you who die or I live, not to mention two princes who share the same power and occupy the Yangtze River.

King Jin suddenly felt how naive his idea was.
