Li Mu stood in front of Pyongyang City and stared at the city in front of him.

"Isn't it big..." This is the most direct feeling in Li Mu's heart.

This Pyongyang City is different from other cities known to Li Mu. Although it also has a wall, it is not high; it is not small in size, but it is larger than Xiangping City.

There are seven or eight small villages and towns 20 miles away from Pyongyang. According to the rewards of the Zhao army's scouts, these villages are now empty, and they must have all retreated into the city.

Li Mu now sits the camp in a small town five miles away from the west of Pyongyang City. This town is actually somewhat similar to a militarized small fortress. It seems to be used to protect Pyongyang City. However, the North Koreans are now short of troops, so they can only give up all the outer strongholds.

Li Mu concluded: "This is obviously the suburban system of the Shang Dynasty. No wonder many people Zeng Yun, who was a Shang minister in Korea, was not convinced by the King of Zhou. It seems that this is indeed true."

"The countryside?" Yi Qusheng interrupted and said, "What is the countryside?"

Li Mu looked at Yiqusheng with great contempt, obviously not interested in this uneducated guy: "The capital of the Shang Dynasty was called the "Dayi Shang". There were suburbs outside the city, and there were many small towns in the suburbs, which were used to protect the capital. The suburbs were made of wilderness. When King Wu of Zhou arrived at the outer field of Shang in Dayi and fought with King Zhou of Shang in the pastures in the wild, hence the "Battle of Muye".

Yiqiusheng thought very seriously for a while, then nodded: "I don't understand."

Li Mu rolled his eyes helplessly, and did not pay attention to Yiqusheng, but continued to observe the city in front of him.

The cities of the Shang Dynasty were very obvious different from those of the Zhou Dynasty, that is, although the Shang Dynasty also had a small town and a large country, the small town (palace city) was usually in the northeast, which was exactly the opposite of the small town (palace city) of the Zhou Dynasty (palace city) usually in the southwest.

"So this means that you Zhou dynasty are actually rebels, so after the rebellion, you want to fight against the Shang Dynasty, and even the layout of the city is no exception." Yi Qusheng made a statement.

Li Mu glanced at Yi Qusheng, who was shocked and jumped out of ten feet in an instant.

"So this means that this time we should use the palace city in the northeast as the main attack point, idiot!" Li Mu made a judgment on Yi Qusheng's IQ without hesitation.

Yiqiusheng smiled and suddenly pointed: "Hey, look, someone is coming out!"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment and looked towards Yiqusheng's finger. Sure enough, he found someone coming towards the direction of the camp under the banner.

A moment later, Ju Xin appeared in front of Li Mu: "The Grand Governor, the person who came claimed to be the envoy of the North Korean king Ji Run, and wanted to ask for the Grand Governor."

Although his qualifications are older than Li Mu, in this battle, Ju Xin is the deputy general and Li Mu is the main general. This is the appointment of Zhao Dan in Handan City.

Li Mu nodded and said, "Let me take the person to the handsome tent."

A moment later, a middle-aged man with a long beard with a big sleeve floating under his jaw and a square-shaped look appeared in front of Li Mu in the commander's tent: "Ji Zheng, North Korea's Yaqing, came here on the order of my king and met the Grand Governor."

Li Mu looked up and down at the other party and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter with you here this time?"

Ji was looking at Li Mu and said, "According to the order of my king, I would like to ask about the whereabouts of our prince now."

Li Mu said: "Ji Xing resisted stubbornly and was killed by the generals under my command."

Ji Zheng was shocked when he heard this, and his face showed a gloomy expression, and he sighed: "As expected, I had advised the king and the prince long before sending troops. It was not a good idea to confront Zhao State. However, the prince insisted on his own actions and refused to listen to me, which led to the disaster today. It is really sad and lamentable."

Li Mu looked at Ji Zheng quietly and said nothing.

Ji Zheng seemed to be embarrassed by Li Mu's view, and after a while, he said, "Grandmaster, in addition to the whereabouts of the prince, I came here on order this time and wanted to ask the Grandmaster. I wonder what the Grandmaster was leading the army to come?"

Li Mu smiled and couldn't help but show a hint of mockery on his face: "You can go back and tell your king, let him think slowly."

Ji Zheng coughed twice awkwardly, but in the end he said reluctantly: "...Grandmaster, North Korea is willing to grant a thousand taels of gold, 500,000 gold (copper) and a number of other treasures. My king also wants to go to Handan to pay tribute in exchange for the withdrawal of the Great Governor."

Li Mu looked at the name Ji Zheng in front of him and couldn't help but feel speechless.

No matter how you look at it, this guy is not a good lobbyist.

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "The Book of Songs says, 'All under the sky is the king's land, and all the king's ministers are the king's ministers'. Now, as the Grand Governor of Zhao, I should take it with you. How can you, the ministers who pay tribute, be more pleasant than those of Zhao's ministers? Korea will not be allowed to exist in the future. The only thing that can exist is the territory of the Korean county of Zhao!"

Ji Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Grandmaster, forgive Ji Zheng's words. This sentence does not seem to mean this, but its true meaning is..."

"Enough!" Li Mu interrupted Ji Zheng impatiently: "No need to say more, let's go back and tell the King of Korea that if he surrenders now, he can still get the title of King of Korea. If he resists stubbornly, the day when the city is broken will be the time when the Ruji clan's clan is destroyed!"

An hour later, Ji Zheng returned to the palace in Pyongyang City. Here, all important North Korean figures, including North Korea King Ji Run, have gathered together, waiting for Ji Zheng's return.

Ji Zheng did not dare to be negligent and went forward to salute and said, "I have seen the king!"

King Jirun of Korea was a fat man who looked about fifty years old. After seeing Ji Zheng, he asked anxiously: "Yaqing, did Li Mu agree to withdraw his troops?"

This is also the most urgent issue that all Korean monarchs and ministers hope to know.

Ji Zheng shook his head and said, "King, Li Mu is not willing to withdraw his troops. Moreover, he has just told me that he has come here to incorporate the entire territory of North Korea into Zhao's territory!"

As he said that, Ji Zheng told him everything about the conversation between him and Li Mu.

This immediately caused the entire hall to be in trouble.

"What a Li Mu, you dare to speak so wildly!"

"King, we must teach Li Mu to learn how powerful the Koreans are!"

A crowd of emotions surged.

"Enough!" North Korea's King Jirun slapped the table in front of him vigorously and shouted: "Shut up, I haven't finished asking questions yet!"

The hall slowly became quiet.

Ji Run continued to ask, "Yaqing, can you find out the whereabouts of the prince from Li Mu?"

Ji Zheng looked dim and said to Ji Run: "I would like to ask the king to mourn. The prince has died in the battlefield."

"What?" Ji Run and many ministers of North Korea changed their faces.

Although some people finally fled back to North Korea during the breakout that day, those who fled back were the main forces that attracted the attention of Zhao's army to the east. The troops led by Ji Xing, who fled north, were wiped out under Li Mu's pursuit. Therefore, the Korean monarch and ministers now knew about Ji Xing's death in battle.

This news was obviously a big blow to North Korea's King Jirun. He cried out "Xinger!" and then started to cry in public.

The ministers were panicked and quickly began to comfort each other. They had been making trouble for almost half an hour, and finally persuaded Ji Run's emotions to calm down a little.

Ji Run gritted her teeth and said, "Send the order to keep the whole army on guard. I will fight against this damn Li Mu!"

When Ji Run said this, although there were only a few people who responded, most of the North Korean ministers had different expressions and did not speak.

Ji Run obviously noticed this and said angrily: "Why, I have raised you for so many years, and now you have no courage to fight for the North Korean country?"

This sentence is very serious, and the Korean ministers immediately plead guilty to Ji Run.

But if you confess your guilt, you still have to say something.

An old minister said, "The king is not the minister who is unwilling to die for the king, but the king should have heard Yaqing say just now. If Li Mu claims that if he does not surrender, the day when the city is broken will be the time when the Ji clan is destroyed. Judging from the actions of Li Mu and Zhao State, this statement is not a false statement. For the future of the Ji clan, please think twice."

This old minister is the oldest person in the Ji clan today. He actually speaks with great importance.

Sure enough, after the old minister spoke, many other Korean ministers also expressed their support.

"Yes, yes, king, please think about it. Even if the prince's ability leads an army of 50,000 is not the opponent of Li Mu's 20,000 people, how can we win?"

"King, now the troops in Pyongyang are empty, and there is no other place in the country to recruit reinforcements. I am really unable to fight against the people of Zhao."

For a moment, such remarks filled the entire hall, and the voice of the cats of the main war sect was drowned out.

To put it bluntly, these ministers actually don’t care who will be their king.

Whether it is the King of Zhao or the King of Korea, if you want to rule the region of Korea, you must rely on the power of these ministers. Therefore, even if these ministers surrender to Zhao, they will not have less treatment, and they may even gain greater power because of holding Zhao, the super thick thigh.

But if you resist to the end, although Li Mu only targets the Ji clan, everyone knows that massacre of the city will be inevitable at that time. Wouldn't everyone be dead?

As for the possibility of victory in resistance... it does not exist at all! Ji Xing, as the number one general in North Korea, died at the hands of Li Mu, which completely defeated the will of the Korean ministers to resist.

Amidst the tide of persuasion, King Jirun of Korea closed his eyes in great pain.

A group of ruthless ministers, a group of ruthless ministers!

To be honest, he wanted to fight with the people of Zhao from the bottom of his heart, but Ji Run was also very clear that as long as he issued this order, the surrender factions in front of him would have found a way to dedicate himself and the entire Pyongyang City to Li Mu to ensure their safety!

Unless Ji Run takes action directly and sends all these damn surrenders to kill them here, the fall of Pyongyang City will almost be a foregone conclusion.

After a long time, Ji Run finally opened her eyes and seemed to have grown ten years old all of a sudden.
