Chapter 057: Post-War Deployment
The defenders of Yincheng, who had been under martial law for a day, saw that there was nothing abnormal, and their defense was more or less relaxed.
At dusk, a large group of women came running crying, crying, "Open the door!" Open the door! ”
A few soldiers looked down, only to see more than 200 warblers and Yanyan women calling the door under the city, with more than a dozen old men in between, and the soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what was going on?
"Where are you from?" The soldier asked aloud.
The first few women cried and shouted: "We are the folk girls of Wildcat Town, North Fuyu City, a large group of Sui people came, killed all our men, they divided the spoils unevenly, there was a dispute, and we were killed by the generals, we have a chance to escape, the generals let us go to Yincheng, we have been gone for a day, let you let us in." ”
At this time, the officer on duty also came, he looked at them for a long time, these are very young, and there are several naked upper bodies, the half-covered and half-blocked pretty appearance, which is exciting, he looked at the distance again, there is no one, thinking that these women and men are dead, and it doesn't hurt to occupy them, so he whispered: "Let them in, everyone has a share." ”
The soldiers were moved, and when they heard this, they lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gate a crack, and some soldiers beckoned to the women, "Come in!" ”
These women ran towards the city, and the dozen or so people who ran in first were indeed young women.
More than 200 women who came from behind wore hats and wide skirts, and they were all swaggering and fragrant, and they only smoked the soldiers with smiles.
But as soon as the women ran into the city, they suddenly drew a knife from under their skirts and slashed at their heads and faces, and several soldiers standing at the door could not dodge and fell to the ground screaming.
A burly woman lifted her hat, revealing a bloody mouth painted bright red, it was Xue Wanche with heavy makeup, he swung his horizontal knife and slashed all the way, and he slaughtered these soldiers in less than a moment after a whole day. The captain defending the city was slashed in the head, and the rest were so frightened that they scattered and fled.
Xue Wanche fought all the way up the city tower and seized the winch that controlled the drawbridge, and in a short time, thousands of Sui troops came and rushed into Yincheng.
Hearing that Xue Wanche had captured Yincheng, Yang Tong immediately led the 50,000 troops of the division to kill, leaving 10,000 people to sit in Yincheng, and the soldiers were divided into two ways!
Yang Tong led an army of 20,000 to conquer more than 30 small mountain cities such as Houhuang and Hengshan; After Qin Qiong captured Momi, he also marched forward, and after killing Maigu City, he faced off with the 20,000 main forces of the Xuanguo army that came to support in the east of the city, and the 20,000 Xiaoguo army screamed and killed Goguryeo into a crushing army, almost annihilating them, forcing the remnants of the Goguryeo army to retreat to Xuanju City, and the Sui army took advantage of the situation and took Xuanxuan City in one fell swoop.
When Qin Qiong received the treasury, it turned out that he had made a windfall.
Xuanju City, also known as Goguryeo City, is located in the gentle area in the eastern part of the Qianshan Mountain Range, with many fields and fertile land, and has always produced a lot of grain. Every year, a large amount of grain can be harvested to supply dozens of mountain cities such as wheat grain, milling rice, Hengshan, Houhuang, Wuyingluo, etc. During the current wars, there are also a lot of weapons hoarded here!
After counting them one by one, there were more than 500,000 stones of grain and grass in the city, as well as a large number of ordnance, and hundreds of thousands of arrows alone.
In view of the fact that Xuanyu City was in a gentle area, and it was not a war to destroy the country, Qin Qiong mobilized all the people in the city to move all the materials to Wheat Valley City, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then burned Xuanqiu City clean with a fire.
And when the two armies had their own gains, Li Jing also took Wu Yingluo bloodlessly, and then easily took the heavy city - Xincheng. It is said that this is all thanks to Xue Wanche's blessing, he had previously failed to deceive the city of more than 2,000 Sui troops retreated into Wuyingluo together, and then followed the Goguryeo army to abandon this fortress that had become a lonely city and went to Xincheng, when Li Jing arrived, they acted as internal responses, and as a result, 30,000 defenders were killed in Xincheng.
At this time, Goguryeo's national strength was extremely weak, and the main enemy was Silla, and the troops north of Aplusu were very small.
With the annihilation of 5,000 defenders of Beibuyucheng, 20,000 defenders of Yincheng, 10,000 defenders of Wuyingluo, 10,000 defenders of Houhuang, 10,000 troops of Hengshan, 25,000 defenders of Xuanyu City, 20,000 defenders of Xincheng, and many small city defenders, Goguryeo no longer had the strength to resist the Sui army for the time being.
In view of this, Yang Tong decided to further expand the war, and then waved a great victory army, with a thunderous momentum of Nanke Baiyan, Wugucheng, Gaimu, Anshi, Shabei, Jian'an, and finally stopped in Nanfuyu City.
This time, Yang Tong took advantage of Luo Yi's rebellion to annex the Khitan and succeeded in a complete success, and on the battlefield of Goguryeo, it was even more astonishingly overfulfilled, under the premise of destroying 120,000 enemies, he swallowed one-third of the opponent's territory in one go, and captured an astonishing more than 600,000 people.
Goguryeo has been established for more than 700 years, based on the four counties of Liaodong in the Han Dynasty, and after hundreds of years of development, it has become a feudal country dominated by agriculture, so it is regarded as a henchman by Yang Jian and Yang Guang.
The terrible thing about an agrarian state is its war potential. They had strong walls, stable food, and a steadily growing population. And if the food is sufficient, they can spare the energy to develop others, such as iron-making, weapon-casting, etc., and the Goguryeo people have not abandoned their ability to fish, hunt, ride and shoot.
The most uneasy thing about the Great Sui was their territory and population, and the nomadic tribes on the steppe, such as the Xiongnu and the Turks, although they dominated the steppe, had always had a limited population.
However, Goguryeo has a very large population, and it is said that there are more than 200 cities and more than 700,000 households in Goguryeo.
At its peak, there were 8.9 million households and a population of just over 56 million. There were more than 700,000 households in Goguryeo, and the population was at least 4 million, almost close to one-twelfth of the Great Sui.
Although there were many hidden fugitives and black households in the Great Sui, and there were not many family slaves who were not in the official register, after two generations of strengthened management, the black households of the hidden fugitives were basically cleaned up. However, Goguryeo, which is not a civilized country, has a large number of slaves, and these are not registered in the household register, so the actual population of Goguryeo is at least 5 million. In addition, some of the Ya tribes that have been attached to Goguryeo have increased Goguryeo's strength.
At the peak of Goguryeo, there were 500,000 armor.
Although the Turks now claim to be millions of string controllers.
But in fact, the Turks rode on horseback, warriors, millions of string-wielding men, almost their entire population. However, the 500,000 armored soldiers of Goguryeo are only the number of soldiers, and if all the people are soldiers, they can be far higher than this number.
When Goguryeo was strong, it was able to pull out an army of 400,000 to fight against the Great Sui in one go, but after two battles of Goguryeo by Yang Jian and two by Yang Guang, Goguryeo's national strength dropped by about six or seven percent.
But in the real calculation, Goguryeo actually lost only soldiers and materials, and the population and infrastructure of the people were not damaged much, if it was buried in development for ten years, it would definitely be a powerful country with 500,000 troops.
But this sudden war, for Gaogu, is a huge trauma, the loss of one-third of the country is a heavy grain production land, in the future, they only have the Pingyao Plain this place to produce grain, not to support the millions of people in the country at all, in a sense, Yang Dong captured more than 600,000 people, but to help Goguryeo through the tide of food shortage. But in the future, the lack of population, the reduction of land, and the loss of the source of war horses will cause a series of problems. Moreover, all strategic points have fallen into the hands of the Great Sui, and the initiative of the war has all fallen into the hands of the Great Sui, and Yang Tong will definitely not give Goguryeo a chance to recover with peace of mind.
"Back then, Goguryeo was just one of the Wei Korean subordinate departments established by Wei Man, and when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed Korea, Goguryeo was the county and belonged to Xuansu County. At that time, there were only three counties in Xuanyu, with a population of more than 220,000. Later, Goguryeo was founded, and for more than 600 years, it actually had a population of more than 6 million. ”
Fang Xuanling said: "In fact, among the more than 6 million people in Goguryeo, it is estimated that more than half of them are Chinese Han Chinese. ”
Not to mention the raid on the land and population of the Han people after the founding of Goguryeo, even the melee in the Central Plains of the past dynasties, there were also constantly losers and evasives fleeing the people into Liaodong.
"Don't talk about that nonsense, these people will only see us as invaders now, and they only have hatred for the Great Sui and the Han people!"
Yang Tong said with a smile: "This time we took it by surprise and attacked it unprepared, and achieved brilliant results, in the future, as long as we hold the defense line of Maigu-Wugu-Nanbuyu City, Goguryeo will not be able to move an inch even if it has 500,000 soldiers." ”
Fang Xuanling said: "This territory is big, and it should be placed in a new county." ”
Yang Tong said: "Liaodong City was restored to its old name Xiangping, and the original Goguryeo region east of Liaoshui and north of Gaimu set up Xiangping County, Wei Yunqi was the first Taishou, and Zhou Shaofan was the county leader; Lushun County is set up in the south of Gaimu and Anshi, and Fuyu City is governed in the south, and the county guard is served by Deng Wei, and the county is Mai Zhongcai; Liaoxi and Liaodong were withdrawn into Shuangliao County, Zhiyan County, and Huangfu Wuyi was the county guard...... Shuangliao County and Xiangping County have fertile land, mainly planting grain, and in the future, there will be victims who defect to Jizhou, and priority will be given to these two counties! ”
"At the same time, all the more than 300,000 prisoners of war in China will be moved to Shuangliao County to build roads, and after they are repaired to Yanjun County, one will be repaired to Tongding Town, and one will be repaired to the other side of the new city.
"Your Highness is wise!" Fang Xuanling was sincerely admired, and was about to say that these two counties are suitable for the development of agriculture, but he didn't expect Yang Tong to think of it: "The minister thought that he could pick out a young woman from among the Goguryeo and Khitan women to marry them." Those who settled in Shuangliao City were allowed to marry Goguryeo women, and those who settled in Xiangping County were married to Khitan women! ”
"That's a good idea!" Yang Tong's eyes lit up, in this way, the two women will leave their homeland, and once they have children, their thoughts about their homeland will slowly fade.
"By the way, first select a young and beautiful woman with good facial features, and promise to be married to a single person in the army!"
Fang Xuanling saw that Luo Shixin was dodging, so he smiled and said: "General Shixin, I will pick out the ten most beautiful beauties for you, just rest assured." ”
Luo Shixin said loudly: "I don't want it!" ”
"No, no, no! Not only do you inherit the Luo family's incense, but you also want the incense of your master, General Zhang Xutuo! ”
"That'll do!" Luo Shixin sighed helplessly.
"And Xuan Ling, you also have to choose ten, and you must give birth to a few babies next year!" Yang Tong has bad intentions, Fang Xuanling's daughter-in-law's surname is Lu, she must be the inventor who is jealous, and she can't be wrong.
Fang Xuanling's face changed drastically, and his expression turned pale, as if he had heard the most terrifying thing in the world.
"This is an order, it must be carried out! Otherwise, be on the blacklist of dishonesty! ”
Fang Xuanling couldn't cry or laugh, was nervous, and said like a mourner: "Let's try it." ”
"Your Highness, there is a gap between the Black Bone City and the South Buyeo City, which is not conducive to defense, and the minister plans to use the Great Wall to connect the two cities, and then extend to the sea!"
The new official took office three times, and the second city is in a strategic location, Deng Wei's first consideration is defense!
Yang Tong said: "Give you 100,000 prisoners!" Construction of Lushun port and road! Play to death, just throw it into the sea, and you don't need to bury it! ”
Deng Wei was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”
Wei Yunqi said: "Your Highness, Xiaoliaoshui and Liaoshui have been in disrepair for a long time, and the roads and bridges are ......."
Yang Tong said: "Give you 150,000, play to death, throw it into the river!" ”
Wei Yunqi was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”
"In addition to building places, you have a very important thing to do!" Yang Tong said solemnly.
"Your Highness, please!"
Yang Tong said: "In the two battles of Goguryeo, there were still many soldiers scattered in the mountains, trying to find out. And make proper arrangements! ”
"Whoa!"
