Chapter 569 Triumph

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are some stubborn people who are ignorant and intend to fight against the might of God and go against the general's will. We will inflict thunderous wrath on these people and wipe them out completely in order to frighten the world.

According to the information provided by General Zilong, three of the large tribes with more than 100,000 soldiers have transformed from ordinary mountain tribes into warlords, occupying the city and the common people. For this kind of force, the general, please send soldiers to eradicate it completely! This is called the prestige of Xing! "

Xi Zhicai picked up his cup and took a sip, then continued: "As for the third point of catching the big and letting go of the small, that's easy. Many small tribes have less than 5,000 troops and live in steep mountains and forests, so it's not easy to send troops to wipe them out. Many people give favors and lure them down the mountain. If there is any refutation, you can send the leader of the shadow-clothed secret warrior to eradicate and warn and punish. With the two-pronged approach, it is estimated that no tribe will continue to live in obscurity."

"As for using brute force, this is the last resort. It should only be used when all the above three methods fail. Not only are the various tribes in Goguryeo not monolithic, but many of them have blood feuds for generations. Even if we don't provoke them, they will still fight each other. Attack. The general can use means to split them up and disintegrate them.

Use food, cloth, salt, sugar, tea and even weapons and armor as bait to lure them to attack each other and encourage them to plunder the hostile population. In this way, in less than a year and a half, the Goguryeo natives who resisted the general's rule will inevitably disappear. It's just that this plan is against the peace of heaven, so please use it with caution, general! "

"The military commander's plan is very good. Which of the generals wants to stay and take charge of the military affairs of Goguryeo and rectify the order of Goguryeo?" Shang Ji asked after listening to Xi Zhicai's words, pondered for a moment, and nodded decisively.

"My lord, if my lord does not give up, I will finally be willing to take on this role!" Before Shang Ji finished speaking, Ge Zhen was eager to try.

Ge Zhen and Xu Huang came here together, and Xu Huang had already gained fame because of the previous battle, and became a dazzling rising star of the Pingzhou Army. Although Ge Zhen also has meritorious deeds, he is much worse than Xu Huang. Now that he has the opportunity, he can't wait.

"Since Bofu (Gezhen's character) has this intention, then Bofu will serve as the guard of Goguryeo. Feng Yu will command Goguryeo's 500,000 servants. He knows the internal situation of Goguryeo well, so Feng Yu will be the deputy. Hope Can the two of you live up to the entrustment of the general and follow the strategy set by the military adviser to pacify Goguryeo as soon as possible. I will ask Hong Zhuo to send civil affairs officials to assist you two. After three months, the general will write to the court and withdraw from the country Build a county!"

"I'm going to lose my mind and live up to my lord's entrustment!" Ge Zhen and Feng Yu shouted in unison.

"Well, the newly attached land of Goguryeo, for the sake of safety, I will leave you with one million troops, plus five hundred thousand servants, for a total of one and a half million troops. Bofu, do you think this number is enough? ?"

"Enough is enough! Enough is enough!" Ge Zhen nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, in addition to purging Goguryeo, you also need to pay attention to the movement in the direction of Longmao Canyon. Once there is a change in Dragonmaw Canyon, immediately lead the army to support it. Remember, Longmao Canyon is the first priority, even if there are rebellions in Goguryeo. To keep Dragonmaw Canyon, understand?"

"The general understands that Dongyi wants to break through the Dragon's Throat Canyon unless he steps over the general's corpse!"

"I will believe in Bo Fu!" Shang Ji took a deep look at Ge Zhen, nodded, and suddenly said, "Feng Yu."

"The last general is here!" Feng Yu was shocked, and hurriedly responded.

"Assist General Hakufu wholeheartedly, this time your performance is good, I can see it, keep it up."

"My lord will die!"

Feng Yu's eyes turned red immediately, his whole body trembled, and he shouted excitedly.

"Well, pay attention to the Goguryeo servant army under your command. After I leave, I will give priority to rectifying this group of servant army. I will recruit a group of meritorious men from the Pingzhou army to join in, and use them as the backbone to rectify this army. I hope three A month later, not only Goguryeo will become a county in Pingzhou, but these 500,000 soldiers will also become qualified Pingzhou guards!"

"Yes! I will live up to my lord's entrustment!"

"Do you have any questions?"

Look around the crowd,

Shang Ji said loudly.

After hesitating for a while, Ge Zhen took a step forward and asked in a low voice: "My lord, that Gao Baqi..."

"Gao Baqi is the Dongchuan King of Goguryeo, and will always be the Dongchuan King of Goguryeo." Glancing at Gezhen, Shang Ji said lightly.

"The general understands that Gao Baqi will always be the King of Dongchuan in Goguryeo!"

On the word "always", Ge Zhen also specially emphasized his accent, obviously he understood Shang Ji's real intention.

Goguryeo will be turned into a county of Pingzhou in three months, so what is the use of Goguryeo's Dongchuan King? Goguryeo is gone. The so-called King Dongchuan of Goguryeo will naturally "gone".

"You generals have worked hard, let's go down and rest first. The whole army will rest for a day, and all the troops will return to Pingzhou in the morning of the day after tomorrow, except for the troops left behind. !"

"The general obeys orders!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. They waited for such a long time, isn't it just for these words!

Soon, everyone took their leave and left, and only Shang Ji and a few personal guards were left in the hall. Shang Ji thought for a while, and then ordered to the guards: "Send an order to Xiangping to welcome the triumphant army. Prepare."

Theoretically, this is the first time in the history of Pingzhou to expand its territory. Although there was a record of expelling the eastern Xianbei to the west for thousands of miles before, effective rule was not established there. This time is different. Goguryeo is not weaker than Liaodong in terms of population and territory, and it is an important county in the Pingzhou system.

In terms of area alone, incorporating Goguryeo into the Pingzhou management system directly doubled the area of ​​the entire Pingzhou. Of course, the uninhabited wilderness occupies most of the area, and the core area of ​​real value is not vast.

But this is also a victory that can be written down in history, and it is worth celebrating.

In addition, the three giant cities of Goguryeo, Neizuben, Domestic, and Maruto are even more valuable. Before that, there were only five giant cities in Pingzhou, and the conquest of Goguryeo increased the number of giant cities to eight in one fell swoop!

Although these three giant cities are super parallel import giant cities, their existing framework is no longer measurable by simple money. If sufficient manpower and material resources are invested to complete the construction of these three giant cities, the overall strength of Pingzhou will be greatly improved. A qualitative improvement!

In short, this war can be said to be a brilliant victory, fully worthy of fanfare and celebration.

Time flies by, and it is already the third day in a blink of an eye. After two days of repairs, the army has recovered.

Under the collective farewell of Ge Zhen Feng Yu and other remaining generals, Shang Ji led the Pingzhou Army on the return journey. It is worth mentioning that Gao Baqi was also in the send-off team, whether he was unaware of the danger or he was deliberately enduring it, Gao Baqi was so grateful that he sent off the Heavenly Soldier leaving the country with snot and tears.

He even scolded Gao Yanyou who was in the prison car in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, and repeatedly emphasized his loyalty to the big man and Pingzhou Mu. Do your best to serve as a screen for the Han Dynasty and deter Dongyi.

Regardless of whether Gao Baqi is really stupid or very wise, he can't make any waves. Yingyi Miwu, Qianhuan, and the spies sent by Gezhen are watching him, and the millions of Pingzhou troops are staring at Goguryeo. He has completely lost all possibility of turning the tables.

Gao Baqi is not a powerful person either, he was turned into a dog by Gao Yanyou three months ago, and Gao Yanyou is still in the prison car!

The hypocritical consolation persuaded Gao Baqi, and Shang Ji gave Ge Zhen a subtle wink. Ge Zhen understood immediately, glanced at Gao Baqi, and nodded slightly.

The army traveled smoothly and returned to Pingzhou without any surprises or dangers. Along the way, the size of the army continued to decrease. The guards in Lelang, Xuantu and other places separated and returned to the army one after another. In the end, only more than 400,000 soldiers returned to Pingzhou.

In order to ensure that Ge Zhen could suppress Goguryeo smoothly, 300,000 of the one million troops left by Shang Ji were war troops. Another 200,000 soldiers stayed in Longmao Canyon. After adding the battle damage over such a long period of time, only 400,000 of the 1.1 million soldiers who went out for the expedition have returned to Xiangping.

Deng Yan and a group of high-ranking civilians and soldiers who stayed behind also went out of the city for a hundred miles to welcome the triumphant army and Shang Ji for returning from the battle.

"The barbarians are unrighteous. The false king Gao Yanyou usurped the throne and led beasts to eat people. The lord attacked them with righteousness, defeated the barbarian generals, and captured the false king alive. He also attacked the bandits from outside, made the barbarians bow their heads, and raised the country's prestige outside the territory. The country is happy. The ministers and others congratulate the lord!"

Deng Yan was wearing a crimson suit, a long crown on his head, a ribbon on his body, and a gentleman's sword tied around his waist, and he bowed to Shang Ji from a distance.

"I'll congratulate the lord!" Xiangping Wenwu, who was dressed up behind Deng Yan, also bowed down at the same time.

"Hongzhu and all the princes have worked hard. With all the princes sitting in Xiangping, I can go out to fight with peace of mind!" Shang Ji got off his horse, helped Deng Yan up, and said loudly.

"Serving for the lord, this is the duty of a minister!"

"The beer wine has been prepared, and the soldiers are invited to enter the camp to relieve the tiredness of the soldiers!"

"Okay, pass on my military order, the whole army will disarm, and enter the camp to eat wine!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and the soldiers who went out to fight went to the predetermined area under the guidance of the small official. It is not a small project to prepare the banquet needs of 400,000 troops at a time.

It is also thanks to the rich material reserves in Xiangping City, the large number of people, and Deng Yan's good scheduling, which ensured the smooth progress of this super large banquet.

It was not yet noon when the army arrived in Xiangping City, but the banquet was almost at sunset after the end of the banquet, which lasted for a full afternoon.

All the chefs in the restaurants in Xiangping City were requisitioned to ensure that there is enough food to enjoy. Although the price of most of the wine and meat is not very high, it cannot stand the large base of the quantity! For this banquet, a full one million gold was spent, with an average of 2.5 gold per person, which is equivalent to directly eating the army's salary for half a month!
