Chapter 101: Profit is in the world

When Marudu was destroyed, it was announced that Goguryeo, a country established in 8 BC, has been destroyed. From Zhumeng to King Dongchuan, it has been eleven generations of monarchs.

Gongsun Xiu looked at the great victory in front of him and felt a sense of heroism in his heart, thinking: "Now Goguryeo has perished and has been incorporated into the territory of Yan State, repelling the border troubles of the Han and Tang dynasties in history."

In 28 AD, the third king of Goguryeo, the Great Wushen King, had a battle with the border troops stationed in Liaodong of the Han Dynasty. The Han army pushed all the way to the city of Marudu to be besieged. At that time, the food and grass in Marudu were about to be exhausted, and the situation was critical. The ministers under the Great Wushen King offered advice and sent envoys to send carp and wine to comfort the Han army, and lowered their posture, claiming that "I am ignorant and punished the superior country. I ordered the general to lead a million troops to expose my country. I have no choice but to use small things to offer them to my left and right."

The Han army was originally planning to siege the Great Martial God King, and when the food and grass were cut off, it would inevitably lead to chaos. Seeing that the envoy carried carp and wine to work hard, he mistakenly thought that the water and grass in the Marudu City had abundant food, but instead was worried that it would be unfavorable to station the besiege for a long time, so he withdrew his troops and settled down the stairs.

The second was in 244 AD. In the sixth year after the Gongsun clan in Liaodong was slaughtered by Sima Yi, Goguryeo sent troops to invade Anping, Liaodong. He was led by the Youzhou Governor of Wei State, Yuqiu Jian, and directly destroyed the capital of Maru. The King of Dongchuan who fled far away fled to Woju to take refuge. However, because he failed to eliminate the roots, for nearly a century, the 16th generation of Goguryeo, the king of the hometown of Maruto, returned to Maruto and re-established the country. At that time, China happened to enter the separatist and chaotic period of the Sixteenth Kingdom of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

But it's different now. Gongsun Xiu did not let the King of Dongchuan run away, but instead took the lead in the horse water to intercept it, and captured it alive and waited for the killing.

Deng Ai first controlled the leaders of the five ministries, arrested major officials, and investigated the current population situation of Goguryeo. A group of important officials had become prisoners at this time, all of whom were trembling all over. Almost all of these people participated in the Battle of Xiangping last year or directly, for fear of being liquidated by the King of Yan.

Through its preliminary investigation, Goguryeo has about 50,000 households and a population of nearly 300,000.

The gold, silver and jewelry in the city of Marudu were also plundered by the Yan army. After all, they had saved the family fortune of eleven generations, so they directly asked Gongsun Xiu to confiscate the house, take some of them to reward the three armies, confiscate the rest and transport them back to Yan State.

Deng Ai, who should have been awarded the most, but because Deng Zhong missed the opportunity to fight, he was given a joint responsibility and was given a half reward. Deng Zhong redeemed his sins and did not reward him for his death penalty. He considered that he built the underwater floating bridge in time and was not discovered by the enemy. He also captured the King of Dongchuan alive and made great rewards. Gongsun Xiu still gave him a generous reward.

Three days later, the King of Dongchuan and his descendants were beheaded, and the royal family of Goguryeo was demoted to civilians and no longer princes and nobles.

What Gongsun Xiu is currently considering is how to control the area of ​​Goguryeo.

The only thing that can be referenced is the practice of the Tang Dynasty, which is to migrate population and fill various prefectures and counties.

This is also a solution. The emperor is far away. Faced with such a backward era, it is not easy to control. I am also worried that the Goguryeo people will take the opportunity to restore their country and become border troubles again.

But this is also the best method and a great opportunity to promote national integration. After defeating Goguryeo and the country was destroyed, the Tang Dynasty also moved a large number of people back to the country. Among them, "Tang Huiyao" Volume 95 "Gougeryeo" records: "Anyone who moved the household registration of Liao, Gai and Yanzhou into the mainland, there were more than 70,000 people in front and after."

"Old Book of Tang: Biography of Fang Xuanling" records: "In less than a few months, Liaodong was captured, and hundreds of thousands were captured, and allocated to the states, and everywhere was satisfied."

The population was moved back to Yan State, and the population was divided into civilians and slaves, and the new identity was obtained, and the people of Yan State were combined with the residents of Liaodong. Without three generations, Goguryeo would become history. This was also the reason why millions of residents disappeared after the demise of Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty. As a result, a large number of people flowed into the Tang Empire and the Silla Empire.

Deng Ai was shocked when he heard that the King of Yan was going to migrate a large number of people and said quickly: "Such a huge migration cannot be solved day and night."

“This is not difficult.”

Gongsun Xiu frowned and said, "When he is alone, he will not be confused. But what if it is three generations later, five generations later? If the Yan Kingdom declines and is unable to control the border, the Goguryeo people will become border troubles and form an uncontrollable disaster. As long as we move into our Great Yan, we will not leave the Five Generations, change customs and treat them equally, and the Hu and Han intermarry, there is no distinction between high and low, how can there be Goguryeo people in a hundred years?"

Deng Ai said: "From Maruto and Baima City, it will be thousands of miles away. If you take land, many people will die along the way. Especially if you support the elderly and the young, you will travel day and night."

He smiled softly: "Did the general forget the Liu family of Dazhu?"

Deng Ai suddenly realized that the king built a ship, not only for the purpose of attacking Qingzhou in the future, but also for the reason for leaving Goguryeo. He couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the king not only wanted to grant the title of marquis to the Liu brothers, but also planned to marry his daughter. This was the original intention."

Gongsun Xiuyi laughed it off, thinking of Liu Qing and Wang Zhu, thinking that it would be great if these two women were married into the palace. They were both beautiful women, and the most important thing was to consolidate the politics of Yan State. It was natural for the royal family to marry the daughter of a wealthy family and the princess of a neighboring country. Political marriage is not determined by personal preference.

"What do you think of these two girls?" Gongsun Xiu said with a smile.

Deng Ai thought the king was asking about the political trend, and said, "Dazhu Liu married his daughter to the king and became a relative of the royal country. Liu would also be loyal to the king and the docks were rare treasures. As for Wang Zhu and the Princess of Fuyu, it was also an important matter. Now that the King of Dongchuan is executed, Goguryeo has become the land of Yan State, and we and Fuyu are also considered to be neighbors."

Gongsun Xiu nodded, thinking that his head was only concerned about military and national affairs. This mention reminded him that as soon as Goguryeo was destroyed, only the Fuyu Kingdom and the Xianbei were left.

"Fuyu Kingdom, what do you think should be dealt with?" Gongsun Xiu asked.

Deng Ai smiled and said, "There are two strategies in the end. I just don't know what the king wants, so I dare not offer any suggestions."

Gongsun Xiu couldn't help laughing and said, "Before Gu has asked, the general has two strategies in his heart. It's better to offer them together. Even if any strategy is contrary to Gu's meaning, it's okay."

The two sat in the palace of Marudu City. He sat on the throne of the former throne of the King of Dongchuan with a golden sword. He looked at Deng Ai, who was in the lower head, with a smile on his face.

Deng Ai nodded and said, "One strategy is to slow down the strategy. The king has now married the princess of Fuyu Kingdom and is a country of in-laws. He can be taught by the king and united forever. When the strength of Dayan doubles in the coming year, Fuyu Kingdom will follow the example of Yan Kingdom and gradually erode it."

Gongsun Xiu heard this and felt that this strategy was not only long, but also tested the unchanging situation in the world. He frowned and said, "Fortunately, Gu's idea was not consistent with this strategy. Otherwise, Gu would use this idea to express it, and the general offered it with this strategy and hit it off. That would be the rebellion of Yan State."

Deng Ai certainly understood that a warrior like the king would not adopt this strategy, and said seriously: "A slow strategy is a slow strategy after all. At present, strong enemies of Yan State are surrounded by powerful enemies, and the situation in the world changes at any time, and time is not waiting. For example, if you get rid of the disease and the current strong medicine, you should use heavy punishments in troubled times. You cannot drag it to Fuyu State to take the initiative to surrender, but you must use both kings and dominances."

When Gongsun Xiu heard this, his appetite was swelling, as if the novel he had been chasing halfway through was gone, and he asked: "The General can tell the second strategy."

Deng Ai said: "This second strategy is an urgent strategy. King Ma Yu's mind is not constant, but has undergone many changes-"

He understood this problem, and Deng Ai also fully analyzed and explained the mental journey of King Ma Yu. From the beginning, he joined forces with King Dongchuan because he was worried that he would be annexed by Yan State. After being trapped, he hated King Dongchuan, which led to his failure to send troops to help King Dongchuan in time. After the Yan army captured Baima City, he also knew that the capital of Maru was bound to be lost. He was willing to marry the princess and let the envoys comfort him, and formed a alliance between the two countries, hoping that the Yan State would not send troops to conquer Fuyu.

Of course, such a marriage seems to be a marriage, but it is actually a sign of weakness. Now it is almost impossible to destroy Fuyu.

It is not just one princess who can get the stability of the border between the two countries.

Deng Ai said seriously: "This urgent strategy is still a strategy to attack the east and attack the west. The king may pretend to send troops to destroy the Xianbei and use the road to send troops to the Fuyu Kingdom to send troops to the Xianbei. If King Mayu agrees, the army will advance to Fuyu all the way, and he can destroy it with the trend. If he refuses and refuses again and again, the king will issue a letter to the world, saying that King Mayu and Xianbei Mo Buba have a connection, so he refuses to let Dao attack it."

When Gongsun Xiu heard this second plan, he couldn't help but feel a big headache. The slowdown plan was too slow, and the urgent plan was too urgent. He said: "The General's plan is to force King Ma Yu to break up on his own initiative. The false idea of ​​attacking Guo is blatant, and he does not hide his ambition at all. It is Sima Zhao--"

Just as I was about to say "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone", I thought that Sima had not usurped the throne and this proverb was not yet established, and it was inappropriate to take out the metaphor, so I swallowed it back immediately.

Deng Ai had a sharp ear and heard the three words "Sima Zhao" and said strangely: "Master, what does this matter have to do with Sima Zhao?"

Gongsun Xiugu said to him, "Did you hear it wrong? What Sima Zhao? Gu means, wouldn't it lead to him to break up in this way?"

Deng Ai really thought he had heard it wrong, so he scratched his head and said seriously: "The Fuyu Kingdom is not as good as Goguryeo, so there is no need to use any strategy. As the last thing I think, if King Ma Yu knew he was defeated, he would beg for mercy to survive in order to seek a glimmer of hope."

"This statement is true. If King Ma Yu can see the situation clearly, understand the interests, surrender and rely on others obediently, move his family into Yan State, and be an idle prince with a vacant position, he can enjoy his old age, otherwise he would have to fight."

He thought to himself that if King Ma Yu was stubborn, he would have to fight with each other, but now he had just captured Goguryeo and had no time to do anything else. He had to consolidate the border and soothe the people.
