Ten days later, Lu Bu received a message from Gan Ning. The navy had successfully cut off the upper reaches of the Longjiang River.

"Army, listen to the order, fire rockets!" Following Lu Bu's order, rockets all over the sky were shot into the forest. With the east wind, the fire spread rapidly. In an instant, the entire mountain and forest became a sea of ​​fire.

Seeing the fire, Zhu Tai ordered his soldiers to get water to put out the fire. He fully thought that the fire would be extinguished quickly, but unexpectedly it became more and more fierce. Zhu Tai was furious, "What's going on! Where's the water!"

The soldier reported, "The flow upstream suddenly stopped, and there is no way to go underwater."

Zhu Tai kicked the soldier over and said, "Then go upstream to get water! Everyone, go!"

The Goguryeo soldiers ran to the upper reaches of the Longjiang River and found several warships with Han army flags on board. They were about to run back when arrows rained from the sky, and a large number of Goguryeo soldiers fell down.

The sound of wailing could be heard from the entire mountain forest, and it was too horrible to watch. Lu Bu ordered the rockets to be continued. After twelve rounds of radiation, the fire in the mountain forest could no longer be extinguished.

Zhu Tai shouted helplessly, "Is this God trying to destroy Goguryeo? Lu Bu, you devil, I will never let you go even if you are a ghost!" He watched the soldiers around him being burned by the fire one by one, and there was a lot of thick smoke. Letting them fall one by one, the desperate Zhu Tai drew his sword and killed himself. The Goguryeo regime, which was founded in 37 BC, was destroyed by fire and no bones were left.

After the fire burned for three days and three nights, Lu Bu ordered Gan Ning to release the water from the upper reaches of the Longjiang River. After a few hours, the fire was slowly put out. Lu Bu led his soldiers, dismounted and walked into the forest. It was no longer a mountain forest. There were scorched earth and scorched corpses everywhere. Seeing this scene, the new recruits of the Han army couldn't bear it and started to feel sick. The veterans were accustomed to this scene and had been fighting for many years. , they have long been accustomed to the slaughter of mountains of bones and rivers of blood.

Lu Bu said to the soldiers, "It seems that I, Lu Bu, have committed many crimes in this battle, but for the sake of extending the territory of the Han Dynasty, I don't care what future generations think of me! This place will be called Heilongjiang from now on, so that future generations will always remember this battle." "

Lu Bu left Wei Muyong and two thousand soldiers to clean the battlefield, bury the scorched corpses in the ground, and use them as fertilizer. They would cultivate the land and garrison them in the coming year, and then led the army all the way south, heading straight for today's Korean Peninsula.

At this time, there were two political regimes on the Korean Peninsula. One was the Silla Kingdom, which ruled the northeastern part of the country and had its capital at Jincheng. Most of the nobles in the country had the surname Jin. The other was the Baekje Kingdom, which ruled the southwest and most of the people were Buyeo. After that, there were eight major clans in the country. The two countries have been suppressed by Goguryeo all year round, and wars often broke out in order to compete for territory.

Lu Bu filtered the records in later books in his mind, and made a plan to unite with the Silla Kingdom, use Silla to destroy the Baekje Kingdom first, and then destroy the Silla Kingdom. This was also the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin Kingdom The doctor Xun Xi used the false way to destroy Guo. It is enough to deal with the simple-minded Silla people.

Lu Bu's army marched to Jincheng and asked to talk to the King of Silla at the city gate. Seeing the strength of the Han army, King Jin Jun of Silla asked Lü Bu to enter the city alone. So Lü Bu ordered the army to station outside the city and he entered Jincheng one by one.

Although Silla is a small country, the construction of the palace is not inferior to the Han Palace in Luoyang. Lu Bu thought as he walked, "Another large amount of military expenditure, now I have made money again."

The king of Silla, Jin Jun, was short in stature and had a rough face. He looked like a child in front of Lu Bu's height of one foot. Jin Jun raised his head and looked at Lu Bu, "I wonder why the Han army came here? I have no grudges against you in the past and no grudges in recent days." "

Lu Bu resisted the urge to laugh. He lowered his head and looked at Jin Jun, "The Baekje Kingdom plundered our Han army's merchant caravan at sea. I will attack with a large army today. Goguryeo refused to use the passage and has been exterminated by our Han army. Now I want to borrow a road from your Majesty to attack and destroy the Baekje Kingdom, and then share the land of Baekje equally with your Majesty. What does your Majesty think?"

Jin Jun heard that Goguryeo was exterminated, and his heart trembled. He also heard that the Han army wanted to use the road to destroy Baekje, and afterwards he even shared the land with himself. He felt that the deal was feasible, so he immediately agreed, and also took on the Han army's responsibility for the battle. of military rations.

Lu Bu thought that with such a king, it would be too difficult for Silla to survive. After the Han army entered the city, they were entertained by the Silla people and had a hot Silla meal. They did not take any rest and went straight out of the city. Heading towards Baekje Kingdom. Lu Bu divided his army into three. He led 20,000 cavalry in the front, Xu Rong led 10,000 infantry in the middle, and Huang Zhong led 10,000 new soldiers in the rear. Lü Bu specifically ordered Xu Rong and Huang Zhong to march slowly.

The galloping Han cavalry swept through fallen leaves like the autumn wind, and attacked Weili City, Ungjin City, and Sixian City. The Baekje army was no match for the Han army. The eight major clans of Baekje: Sa, Jin, Guo, and Mu. , the Pi family, the Yan family, the Yan family, and the Xie family were all exterminated, and the whole land was dyed red with blood. King Shahu of Baekje was quartered by five horses. All the wealth belonged to the Han army, and ordinary Baekje people became the Han army's slave.

Lu Bu left a thousand Han troops to garrison in each of the three cities, and then fought non-stop back to the Silla Kingdom. King Jinjun of Silla did not expect this move from the Han army. Unprepared, Jincheng was captured by the Han army. Jinjun himself was shot down by Huang Zhong with an arrow. Lu Bu followed the usual practice and killed all the consuls of Silla. Kill, disperse the Silla army, collect weapons, and turn Silla people into slaves.

It only took less than two months from the destruction of Goguryeo to the conquest of Silla, Baekje, and the Han army. Lu Bu was very satisfied and ordered the Han army to burn, kill, and loot as much as they wanted in Silla and Baekje. Those who resist will be killed directly. He wants to completely break the will of the people of the two countries mentally. After a full month of looting, Lu Bu transferred Wei Muyong and asked him to lead troops to garrison here. He also established a Korean county on this land and appointed Wei Muyong as the county governor.

In Joseon County, the Han people were the natural masters, while the people of Silla and Baekje were called Koreans. As slaves of the Han people, the Koreans had no rights.
