    Most of these countries in the Western Regions are city-states.  Basically, a main city and some towns support the entire country, and Yiwu Country is no exception.  Eighty percent of Yiwu's strength is within Yiwu City.

    These countries in the Western Regions have different strengths. Under the rule of the Western Turks, the countries are cross-affiliated.  There may be two or three suzerain states in a country, and it is a vassal state of others, but it also has vassal states.

    At this time, the most powerful country in the eastern part of the Western Region was Gaochang State, and Yiwu State was also a subsidiary of Gaochang State.

    But at this time, the Sui Dynasty was powerful. Qu Boya, the king of Gaochang, was very aware of the power of the Sui Dynasty. Although he received the request for help from Yiwu, he did not dare to act rashly.  Even Shi Gao, an idiot, didn't dare to provoke the Sui Dynasty, but the small country of Yiwu didn't know what it could do. Did Shi Gao think he didn't die quickly enough?

    The Sui army suddenly appeared in front of the Yiwu people and quickly attacked Yiwu City.

    The people of Yiwu were greatly shocked when they saw this, and were in panic all day long.

    Huang Mingliao ordered people to come forward to persuade him to surrender, but King Shi Gao refused to surrender.

    King Shi Gao of Yiwu knew that he had greatly offended the Sui Dynasty before, and that once captured by the Sui army, there would be no good end, so he attempted to occupy the city and defend himself.  He also believed what Shi Bailong said that the Sui army would retreat after traveling thousands of miles and running out of food.  I also felt that neither the Gaochang Kingdom nor the Western Turks would let the Sui people attack the city and seize territory here.

    Seeing this, Huang Mingliao ordered his army to surround Yiwu City.

    Huang Mingliao knew very well that the army had to travel a long distance, and its morale could not be lowered, so it was necessary to attack Yiwu in one go.  Otherwise, if it is delayed for a long time, the morale of both sides will wax and wane, making this battle difficult to fight.

    When Huang Mingyuan went on the western expedition of Liao Dynasty, Huang Mingyuan arranged for him more than ten workers who were good at making engineering equipment, all of whom accompanied the army.  Therefore, seeing the Yiwu Kingdom occupying the city and defending itself, Huang Mingliao ordered his soldiers to make siege equipment and chop wood to fill the trenches.

    When they were ready, the Sui army directly used the cart to hit the low wall of Yiwu City.  Compared with the city walls in the Central Plains, although Yiwu is nominally the capital, the city walls are no more than a small county town.  It didn't take much effort for the Sui army to attack this kind of city wall.

    Not long after, Yiwu¡¯s city wall was smashed by the cart, and the hole opened was several feet wide.  Huang Mingliao also ordered people to use catapults to throw rocks into the city. All the Yiwu soldiers on the top of the city were hit with huge stones and their heads were bruised and bleeding.  In the city near the city wall, some people wore felt to protect themselves from falling rocks.  As for the city head, it was smashed to pieces by the Sui army, and the defenders on the city head had no place to stand.

    The Sui army built another ten-foot-tall building. Looking down into the city, the places hit by falling rocks or the pedestrians who were hit shouted for mercy, and everyone in the city hid indoors.

    Under such a fierce attack by the Sui army, Yiwu City was unexpectedly broken.  The garrison at the head of the city fled in all directions, like wolves rushing and pigs rushing.

    Seeing that the time had come to capture the city, Huang Mingliao ordered Gao Zhen, Meng Yue, and Yuchi Gong to lead their troops into the city from three sides and kill towards the palace.

    Yuchi Gong took the lead, leading dozens of cavalry, and went straight to the palace, and immediately dispersed Yiwu's army on the street.  Yiwu's soldiers had long been scattered, and no one could organize a resistance. They were totally incapable of taking over, and were directly defeated by Yuchi Gong.

    Seeing that the Sui army had entered the city, Shi Gao was so frightened that he had to guard the palace tightly with less than a thousand guards.  It's just that the palace alone is difficult to resist the Sui army.  In order to surrender to the Sui army, Shi Gao ordered Shi Shougui to attack and kill the Sui envoy, preparing to blame everything on Shi Shougui.

    Shi Gao was at the end of his rope and had no choice but to hope in the mercy of the Sui army, so he sent someone to ask for surrender with a white flag.  The envoy from Yiwu said: "Before, the people of the country made their own decisions, and the king didn't know about it at all. Now the king has killed the mastermind of the attack on the Sui envoys, and begged the Sui army to show mercy." Then he presented Shi Shougui's head.  .

    Huang Mingliao looked at the head of Shi Shougui sent by the Yiwu people, and couldn't help but think it was a bit funny. At this time, King Yiwu chose to surrender. Don't you think it's too late?  In other words, the war has reached this point, and the Sui army only has to harvest the spoils of war. It would be a fool's act to stop here.

    No one will give up, except of course Yang Guang who conquered Goguryeo in history.

    Huang Mingyuan said to Yiwu's envoy: "If King Yiwu sincerely repented, he would order his subordinates to put down their weapons and surrender in front of the army gate, otherwise there would be no need to discuss anything."

    After the Yiwu envoy returned to the palace, he told Shi Gao the conditions of the Sui army.  But Shi Gao was in a dilemma. If the Sui army didn't give him a promise, he really didn't dare to surrender.  Otherwise, once he is captured, the Sui army will chop him down, and who will he find to reason with?

    Furthermore, Shi Gao had always been taking chances and was unwilling to give up the rights in his hands.

    ??In fact, Huang Mingliao doesn¡¯t want to accept it either.Shi Gao's surrender.  If Shi Gao surrenders, even if he is captured and sent back to Luoyang, he may still be able to keep the throne.  But if Shi Gao is killed directly, the entire Yiwu City will be leaderless, and Huang Mingliao will be able to clean it up.  The army came from afar and had to use Yiwu as a base for construction, so the start-up funds could only be obtained by purging Yiwu.

    The fate of the entire Yiwu country¡¯s dignitaries was thus doomed.

    Huang Mingliao directly ordered the army to push into the palace without waiting for Shi Gao to make the final decision.  Anyone who dares to stand in the way will be killed.  Shi Gao didn't expect Huang Mingliao to be in such a hurry. Surrender must come and go. Why don't you Sui people follow the rules?

    Yuchi Gong was the first to rush into the palace. He had received Huang Mingliao's order early, so he went straight to the king.

    At this time, there were only a few people around Shi Gao. Yuchi Gong led his men to attack. Shi Gao was so frightened that he knelt down and surrendered.  Yuchi Gong looked at King Yiwu who was begging for mercy and directly ordered his subordinates to shoot him to death with random arrows.  Shi Gao and others had no way to escape, and they were all shot to death.  Even before he died, he didn't know why the Sui army didn't want to capture him alive.

    Yuchi Gong brought King Yiwu¡¯s head to see Huang Mingliao. Huang Mingliao took one look at Shi Xiao¡¯s head and didn¡¯t care.  So he had King Yiwu's head made of salt and sent to Chang'an.

    For the Sui Dynasty, a dead King Yiwu is a good king.

    As an important pass between the east and west, the Sui Dynasty did not know anything about the country of Yiwu.  Before the attack on the Sui envoys, the Sui Dynasty hoped to infiltrate the influence of the Sui Dynasty into Yiwu country through influence and infiltration. Therefore, many of the pro-Sui faction in Yiwu were actually supported by the Sui Dynasty.

    The last time Shi Shou returned to attack and kill the Sui envoys, the pro-Sui faction in the country suffered heavy losses.

    This time the Sui Dynasty invaded Yiwu. In order to better rule this place, it is still necessary to rely on the pro-Sui faction in Yiwu.  Therefore, after Huang Mingliao completed the purge of Yiwu, he hurriedly summoned some members of Yiwu's pro-Sui faction.  Among these people, Shi Gu is the leader. Because of the suppression by Shi Shougui and others, they had long been forced to survive.  This time Dad Sui came, and they turned into serfs to sing, and immediately rushed to become a qualified leader.  As for the dead Shi Lamb, no one cares about him for a long time.

    Huang Mingliao appointed Shi Gu and others as his staff. With the help of Shi Gu and others, the situation in Yiwu was stabilized.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
