Another biggest problem with siege at night is that the news is not smooth and it is difficult for the soldiers to find that the situation has changed. (You can read the novel.)

The West City is still in a fierce battle, with blood rains flying, and the shouts of killing are shaking the sky, but the South City has fallen, and the Sui cavalry has entered the city.

Gao Jianwu, the King of Goryeo, had already received news that something was wrong in the south city. There was an internal supporter in the Goryeo army and the Sui army was brought up the city. This news surprised Gao Jianwu.

He led two thousand soldiers to rush towards Nancheng, and halfway through, a blood-covered general stumbled over and rushed over, crying: "King, Nancheng has been lost, Sui cavalry... have entered the city!"

‘Dang!’ Gao Jianwu’s sword fell to the ground, and the news stunned him, and his heart seemed to fall into the abyss.

At this time, the sound of the Sui army withdrawing troops came from afar. The Sui army attacking the West City retreated like a tide. They turned the direction of the attack and rushed towards the South City. The Sui army rushed into Pyongyang City.

Fires surged into the sky in Pyongyang City, and cries rang out. Niu Jinting led 5,000 cavalrymen to run around the city, ordering Goryeo civilians not to go out to the streets.

But along the way, you could encounter the Korean people who were trying to resist everywhere. They attacked the cavalry in groups in groups, but Yang Yuanqing issued a strict order, killing them without any hesitation. The Sui army slashed their swords, and wherever they passed, corpses were everywhere.

This time, Yang Yuanqing learned from the lessons he came to Hu'er back then. After conquering the outer city, he did not indulge the soldiers, but divided the troops into two groups. Niu Jinting led 5,000 cavalry to control the entire city, and Luo Shixin led 10,000 troops to continue attacking the inner city.

The inner city is the core of the entire Pyongyang. It has a circumference of twelve miles and only two gates in the north and south. It is the same tall and strong, but unlike the outer city, there is no moat or suspension bridge, which provides great convenience for the Sui army's siege.

In front of the south gate of the inner city, thousands of Sui troops held shields and torches in their hands. The city gate shone as if it were daylight. There were three thousand defenders in the inner city, led by Goryeo's Yulin General Li Yingming.

The news of the fall of the outer city had already reached the inner city, and the city gate was closed. More than 2,000 soldiers in the city held bows and arrows, and looked at the murderous Sui army under the city with uneasy.

The Sui army conquered the outer city and made Li Yingming extremely nervous. He didn't know what to do. King Goryeo commanded the battle in the outer city. Now he didn't know his life and death. Li Yingming had to order the gate to be closed and guarded strictly in the inner city.

The gate of the inner city was made of pig iron, which was extremely strong and could not work with fire. Luo Shixin ordered to find the bumping wood and was preparing to hit the gate with a siege ram. Yang Yuanqing, under the escort of hundreds of soldiers, watched the attack on the inner city from afar. He also felt a little worried. He was worried that the Goryeo army would burn all the jade and stones and burn the food in the inner city.

At this time, a Sui army soldier rushed over and knelt down on one knee in front of Yang Yuanqing to report, "Report to the general manager, King Goryeo has surrendered to our army."

Yang Yuanqing was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Where are the people?"

The soldiers turned around and saw a large group of Sui soldiers surrounded by more than a dozen Goryeo officials, leading a man wearing a crown.

In the light of the fire, Yang Yuanqing saw that this person was about the same age as him, with three wisps of black beard, heavy eyebrows and deep eyes, and was powerful without anger. He had a kingly aura, so Yang Yuanqing nodded secretly, is this the King of Goryeo Plain?

Gao Jianwu could have escaped, but he finally chose to stay. He was the king of a country and would rather die by himself than let the people be killed on his behalf. At this time, he calmed down.

He also saw the commander of the Sui army riding on the war horse, about the same age as himself, wearing a golden helmet, iron armor, burly and tall, with his eyes sometimes cold and sometimes unfathomable. Gao Jianwu sighed in his heart, Yang Yuanqing personally led the troops, and didn't know how to fill his appetite.

Gao Jianwu led a dozen officials to kneel down in front of Yang Yuanqing. Gao Jianwu lowered his head and said, "The criminals of the partial country do not recognize the power of heaven and failed to open the city to welcome the heavenly army in time. Please forgive your crimes!"

Yang Yuanqing did not dismount and helped him, but said lightly: "What is the crime of defending the country? If you can surrender without leaving your subjects and escape, you can be considered a king of duty. I will give you the dignity you deserve, so you don't have to worry too much."

Gao Jianwu kowtowed heavily and cried, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy, but the King of Hu is willing to die. I beg Your Highness to forgive the innocent people and not kill them."

He came over and saw corpses on the ground, mostly civilian men, which made him worried. He remembered that when Hu'er's army came to capture the outer city, he was burning, killing and looting soldiers. He was extremely worried that this scene would happen again.

Yang Yuanqing said: "My army has its own military rules. Only by surrendering and not resisting, soldiers will not kill indiscriminately. This time, the Sui army just borrowed some money and food from your country, and there was no other intention."

Speaking of this, Yang Yuanqing pointed to the inner city with a horse whip, "Since you have surrendered, then order the inner city defenders to surrender. Otherwise, the Sui army will enter the inner city, and the defenders in the city will not spare one."

Gao Jianwu was helpless and had become a prisoner at the ranks. He couldn't help but go up and shouted to the city, "I am King of Goryeo, let Li Yingming come out to see me."

A moment later, a general appeared on the top of the city. It was Li Yingming, the chief general of the defender. When he saw King Goryeo, he was completely depressed and said in a trembling voice: "I am here!"

Gao Jianwu sighed secretly and advised him loudly: "General Li, the situation in Pyongyang City is out, let's open the inner city! To protect civilians from being killed."

"Old minister obeys the order!"

Li Yingming stood up and said to his left and right: "Kaicheng and surrender."

The gate of the inner city slowly opened, and Luo Shixin was already impatient. With his order, ten thousand Sui troops rushed into the inner city...

Half an hour later, the Sui army controlled the inner city. At this point, the entire Pyongyang City fell into the hands of the Sui army. The Goryeo Treasury that Yang Yuanqing was concerned about was located in the inner city, consisting of hundreds of large warehouses, and the materials in the warehouse were breathtaking.

When Yang Guang went to Goryeo, most of the supplies left in the piled mountains of Goryeo were concentrated in the warehouses in the inner city, but Yang Yuanqing paid more attention to the inventory of grain.

Yang Guang left millions of stones of grain in Goryeo back then. These grains could not be stored for so long, but they could store Goryeo's own grain.

"Master, please go here!"

A general led Yang Yuanqing to inspect the grain warehouse. This is a huge warehouse that is three meters high and covers an area of ​​more than ten acres. It is a warehouse of ten thousand stones. One warehouse can store up to 100,000 stones of grain. There are dozens of such granaries.

At this moment, dozens of Sui soldiers were guarding him, and Yang Yuanqing walked into the warehouse. In this huge warehouse, bags of grain were neatly placed, piled up like mountains, which was breathtaking.

A civilian officer was leading a dozen soldiers to count the grain warehouse. When he saw Yang Yuanqing leading a large group of officers in, the civilian officer hurried forward to salute, "See the General Manager."

Yang Yuanqing nodded, walked to a bag of grain bags, and patted the solid grain bags. The bag of grain weighed a stone, and a pinch of white rice flowed out from the gaps of the grain bags. Yang Yuanqing reached out to catch them and put a few into his mouth to chew them. It should be the grain rice from last year.

He turned around and asked the civilian officer: "How much food is there in this warehouse? Have you finished counting it?"

"Report to the general manager, the warehouse has been counted, with a total of 93,000 stones of grain, which is consistent with the account records."

"So how much grain does the entire granary group have? Have you counted it?" Yang Yuanqing continued to ask.

"I have roughly estimated that it is between 60 and 650,000 shi, so there should be no mistake."

This number made Yang Yuanqing's brows suddenly relax. Six hundred thousand stones, this adventure-style expedition received such a rich reward.

Yang Yuanqing went to other warehouses again, and piled up mountains of armor, tents, saddles and war drums. These were all supplies left by the Sui army back then. Time passed, and they returned to their own hands, which made Yang Yuanqing feel very moved.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin ran over excitedly and said, "Master, go and see the palace warehouse! You can't even open your eyes. Oh my God! Those pearls and gems have blurred my eyes, and there are countless white silver and yellow gold.Master, please give me the Goryeo to be Chengguo! I don't dislike it."

Yang Yuanqing patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I remember you didn't want to enthrone the country at the beginning. You said you had no ambition and wanted to be a veteran. Why did your ambition expand again now?"

Cheng Yaojin scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Actually, it's not ambition, it's just a little greedy."

Yang Yuanqing laughed and turned to the marching Sima Li Minglu, "All the supplies are registered one by one, half of the gold, silver and jewelry in the palace warehouse are divided, and all the copper coins are used to reward and pension the brothers of this expedition."

"As for the order!" Li Minglu bowed and hurriedly went down.

"Old Li, wait for me and I will help you count it." Cheng Yaojin was anxious and didn't bother to say hello to Yang Yuanqing and ran away.

Lai Hu'er next to him couldn't help but smile and said, "Master, this General Cheng is quite interesting."

Yang Yuanqing snorted, "He has always been like this, with a very thick-skinned face. He can't see him when he was fighting. He was the first to rush forward when he was dividing the money."

At this time, Lai Huer whispered again: "Master General, since you have taken Pyongyang this time, you will simply plunder the nearby population. I estimate that there are hundreds of thousands of people to enrich the Central Plains."

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "This time is not the time. First, our army is too small, and more importantly, the world is not yet determined now. Capturing the Goryeo population into the Central Plains will easily cause chaos in the Central Plains. Do you forget the consequences of the six towns entering the Central Plains? Next time, you will simply destroy Goryeo."

Lai Hu'er understood Yang Yuanqing's meaning. After the military chaos in the six towns was suppressed, the Northern Wei Dynasty carried hundreds of thousands of men and women in the Central Plains to settle. These hundreds of thousands of people caused great chaos in the Central Plains, and directly formed the two courts of the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi. The people of Goryeo were unable to accept it. It is indeed not appropriate to plunder into the Central Plains now.

Thinking of this, Lai Hu'er asked again: "Where is King Goryeo, do you want to keep him?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "I would like to propose three conditions to this person. If he promises to cede Liaodong and surrender to the Great Sui Dynasty, it would be okay to stay him, otherwise Yuan Taizuo will have the opportunity to be regent."

Lai Hu'er was stunned, "The manager said it was wrong! It should be Gai Suwen, how could it be Yuan Taizuo?"

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him and said calmly: "I was right, it was Yuan Taizuo, he was about to return to Goryeo...To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
