Chapter 740: Take a city at the beginning
Goguryeo has more than 100 cities and is extremely powerful.
As the densely populated cities of Pyongyang and Seoul, there are also many surrounding cities.
Suwon City is one of them.
As a city next to Seoul and close to Baekje, Suwon Fortress is not as prosperous as Pyongyang and Seoul, but it is also one of the more influential cities in Goguryeo.
The most important thing is that the incident here will not only have an impact on Goguryeo, but also affect the neighboring Baekje and Silla.
As the former crown prince of Goguryeo, Gao Huanquan's popularity in the peninsula is still relatively high.
The most important thing is that his position is recognized by everyone, and now that he has come out to make trouble, the impact will naturally be different.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
With the appearance of more than a dozen crossbow arrows controlled by the personnel of the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chu Palace, the last resistance force of Suwon City completely collapsed.
"General He's training is really extraordinary, with such a thousand elites, even if it is impossible to take Seoul."
Gao Huanquan followed behind the army from afar, and his heart was excited.
After taking Suwon Castle, his uprising can be regarded as a successful first step.
The most important thing is that the East China Sea fishery can provide much more help than he imagined.
As for whether he can control the fishing industry in the East China Sea in the future, this is not a question that Gao Huanquan is willing to think about now.
After I die, who cares about the flood of the sky?
By cooperating with the fishing industry in the East China Sea, he has the hope of regaining the throne of Goguryeo.
But if you don't cooperate, you don't need to do anything from the East China Sea fishery, and Yuangai Suwen can chop him into meat sauce.
He is not a fool and naturally knows how to make choices.
"Prince, the next thing is to see how you perform. There are 800 captured soldiers in Suwon City, plus tens of thousands of young men in the city, as long as you can encourage half of them to join us, we can immediately march to the next city. ”
The battle went more smoothly than he imagined, and He Jian was also relieved.
You must know that in order to ensure the smooth capture of Suwon City, he transferred the elite of the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chu Wangfu into the army of the uprising, and also brought all the Sui Dynasty immigrants who had been collected at the beginning.
If it fails, then the influence of the Tang Dynasty in Goguryeo will fall to a record low.
"Don't worry, I'm the crown prince after all! Raising troops on the side of the Qing monarch, that is a legitimate thing. Suwon City has now been won, and the surrounding cities will not be difficult to think about. ”
Gao Huanquan took a deep breath and began to think about his next move.
The soldiers are fast, and he also understands this truth.
Taking advantage of the fact that Yuangai Suwen has not yet reacted, and the army on the frontier is still fighting against Silla, it is the right way to occupy a few more cities as soon as possible and attract more people to join.
"Prince, I have a suggestion. Whether it is Suwon City or other surrounding cities, the land is concentrated in the hands of a few nobles, and a large part of these nobles support Yuangai Suwen. If we divide all these noble lands equally among the people who follow us after we have conquered the city, and tell them that as long as we follow our rebels, we will be able to live a good life of 'every family has a field to plant, and everyone has clothes to wear.'" ”
Kujou Hiroyuki thought of the advice Li Kuan gave him a few days ago, and couldn't help but want to clap his hands in celebration.
As long as the rebels have this slogan, the number of people who follow them will definitely increase dramatically, and their influence will be very huge.
As for whether there is a way to implement this policy in the future, this is not a matter of concern to Li Kuan and Kujou Hiroyuki at all.
As long as Goguryeo can be messed up and the Tang Dynasty can easily occupy Liaodong, this is enough.
"Huh? The idea ......"
Gao Huanquan couldn't help but exclaim, and then his eyes became brighter and brighter, "The shopkeeper of Jiujo, your suggestion is really too second!" For the people, if they join us, they will have the opportunity to get a few acres or even dozens of acres of land, so no matter how big the risk is, there will be many people who defect to us. Haha, now I don't worry about the lack of troops, but I have to consider whether there are enough weapons. ”
"Don't worry, the prince has a merchant ship carrying swords in the East China Sea Fishery that is about to dock near Seoul, and as long as we capture Seoul, we can directly hand over the ordnance there."
Kujou Hiroyuki couldn't help but be amazed by Li Kuan's advance arrangement.
The uprising troops led by Gao Huanquan immediately began to raid their homes after capturing Suwon City.
All the nobles who supported Yuangai Suwen will be raided.
Even if there are some people who support Gao Huanquan, it is inevitable that they will break the fortune and eliminate the disaster.
And all this money will eventually fall into the hands of the East China Sea fishery.
"Great! With Mr. Kujou's help, it's like a tiger with wings. You can rest assured, this batch of ordnance, I, Gao Huanquan, will definitely pay a price that satisfies the East China Sea fishery. ”
Gao Huanquan listened to Kujou Hiroyuki's words, and immediately stopped calling him Kujou Shopkeeper, but became Mr. Kujo.
Looking at it like this, it really feels like cultivating him as a big pair of Lu.
"Prince, I have another suggestion, I don't know if to say it or not?"
Seeing that Gao Huanquan was in a good mood, Kujou Hiroyuki felt that he could throw out another proposal.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"Now Goguryeo, under the leadership of Yuangae Suwen, is fighting against Silla, and I heard that Yuangae Suwen's confidant Kwon Man-sin and his eldest son, Yuan-nam, are attacking Silla with more than 30,000 Goguryeo elites and the Baekje coalition army. The so-called enemy of the enemy is our friend, and I think the prince can arrange for your men to go to Silla to express your willingness to join forces with Silla to deal with Yuangai Suwen together. ”
As the person in charge of the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chu Prince's Mansion in Goguryeo, Kujou Hiroyuki naturally knew that Goguryeo and the Silla people had been fighting for more than half a month, and that the Goguryeo and Baekje coalition forces had a clear advantage.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this was a plan by General Kim Yushin, the commander of Silla, to lure the enemy into depth.
"Silla......"
Gao Huanquan had a hesitant expression on his face.
As the crown prince of Goguryeo, he naturally knew that Goguryeo and Silla had always been at odds, and whether it was Gao Jianwu or himself, he had the dream of unifying the Three Kingdoms.
Now he wants to join forces with his former imaginary enemy, he is still a little unacceptable.
"Prince, the people of Silla are suffering from scabies after all, and even if we cooperate with them, we will not lose anything. Even if we do lose some benefits, we can still get it back in the end. ”
Kujou Hiroyuki saw that Gao Huanquan was a little hesitant, and immediately turned on the persuasion mode.
"The lesser of two evils, although with the Silla people, it is very likely that some of our Goguryeo cities will be occupied by them for a short time, but as long as we succeed in defeating Yuangai Suwen, with the strength of our Goguryeo, will the Silla people still dare to occupy the city and not return it? Besides. Now that the situation of the Silla people is not good, the prince's willingness to cooperate with them is also a good thing for them, and there should not be too many unreasonable demands. ”
"Good! I listen to my husband! I hope that in the future, I will be able to work together with him to defeat Yuangae Sumoon, and then destroy Baekje and Silla, and establish a unified and powerful Goguryeo dynasty. When the time comes, Kujou-kun will also become a famous figure for the ages. ”
While Gao Huanquan agreed, he lost no time in drawing a big pie for Kujou Hiroyuki.
Anyway, you don't have to pay a price for painting cakes.
