Thinking of this, Yu Ming smiled, and then said, "Don't worry! You are all heroes who have made meritorious contributions to the country and suffered hardships, and I will definitely think about your safety. It's just that Liaodong is not stable yet. Although Goryeo has fallen, we have not yet achieved complete control over the entire territory of Goryeo. And the Jihe Silla in the south, the Khitan and Tiele in the north are also ready to move, and they are not peaceful. Therefore, the army cannot be withdrawn for the time being, and if you want to return to the Central Plains immediately, I am afraid that it will be difficult for a while. ”

After that, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Let me think it is like this: after a while, you will write a few letters to your family, and then write a detailed statement to the imperial court, explaining how you were captured by the Goryeo army, and how you were rescued after being captured until now...... Just write it roughly. As for me, I also wrote a note to Your Majesty, detailing the situation here, and making a formal request that you not be held accountable for the defeat. ”

"After everyone has finished writing, I will send these letters back to the Eastern Capital. I know you're definitely feeling homesick. However, now the Central Plains is very chaotic, and there are anti-thieves everywhere. In addition to the previous bandits such as Wang Bo, Zhai Rang, Du Fuwei, and Dou Jiande, Yang Xuangan rebelled first. After being exterminated by the imperial court, the Yuan clan and the Dugu clan rebelled against the Longda lords. Now Guanlong, Hedong, Henan, Shandong, Hebei, and Jianghuai are all in turmoil. It's not safe for you to go back! ”

"What? Yang Xuangan, Yuan, and Dugu all rebelled? When the officers present heard the news, they were all dumbfounded.

Who is Yang Xuangan? The head of the Hongnong Yang family, the grandson of Yang Su, the former Shangshu Ling, had a great influence in the imperial court, and his protégés were all over the world.

The Yuan family is the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the big lord of Guanlong, and many of the younger brothers of the Yuan family are important ministers in the court, and the head of the family, Yuan Shou, is the internal history order.

And the Dugu clan is not to mention, the mother of the current saint Yang Guang is from the Dugu clan, and many important ministers in the court are also from the Dugu clan, or have a marriage with the Dugu clan, such as Li Yuan.

This big family has rebelled, can the world of the Great Sui be saved?

What's more, in addition to this big family, there are countless other large and small bandits, and now they can be called the chaos of the world.

Hearing Yu Ming's introduction, even Yu Juluo looked nervous, although he didn't care about his status and official position, he was also worried about the safety of his family, and his parents, wife and children were in Chang'an. Now I heard Yuming say that the Yuan clan, the Dugu clan and the official army were fighting in Guanzhong, and Chang'an was also a little restless when it was besieged for a long time.

Yu Ming then continued: "After everyone was captured, they were reduced to slavery by the Koreans, and they were driven to do hard labor for more than a year, and their bodies were almost gone. Now, even if I agree to let you go, the long journey of 2,000 miles, I'm afraid you can't afford it, maybe you won't be able to go to the Central Plains at all. In my opinion, it is better for you to recuperate here first, and then make the next step after your body is healed. ”

"At that time, if Your Majesty wants to summon you back to the Central Plains, of course it will be good. But if you are willing to stay in my Liaodong camp, then it will be even better. After all, the Central Plains was in turmoil, many cities were breached by bandits, the price of rice skyrocketed, and many people could only live by eating bark and grass roots......"

"I know you're all worried about your families. But this is not a problem, if you are willing to stay in Liaodong, you can write a letter home, and I will send someone to your hometown with the letter, and bring all your family members to live in Liaodong. Now in the midst of the chaos in the world, Liaodong can be said to be a pure land. Yu Ming said eloquently.

Yu Juluo and other Sui army officers listened for a long time, and finally figured it out: Yuming first let them think about it themselves, but only let them write to their families, but did not let them go. said that they were allowed to recuperate, and said that the world was in chaos and it was inconvenient to go.

This is obviously to tell them that before the DPRK and China have their opinions on the handling of this matter, they will not be able to leave the Liaodong camp. After that, Yu Ming followed up and said that he hoped that they would bring their families to live in Liaodong, and said that almost all of his soldiers and horses were new soldiers, lacking grassroots officers and soldiers, and hoped that they could stay and help him.

Even if these big-headed soldiers are rectals, they can understand what Yuming means, and they feel that he wants to integrate his group into his army so that he can help him conquer Ji, Silla, and those disobedient tribes in the Liaodong grassland.

Yu Ming's words also played a role. After all, he is the one who has the clearest understanding of the current situation in the DPRK and China. These captives have been missing for so long, and the officials and the emperor are afraid that they will suddenly appear at this time when they are already dead, and no one knows what the emperor's state is. And they all know that Yang Guang has killed many generals who have returned from defeat.

Wouldn't it be even worse if the Emperor felt guilty of the defeated generals and captured officers? Although Yu Ming said that he wanted to give the emperor a recital, who knows how he wrote the content. Listening to the meaning of this young marshal, he wanted to wait for others to stay and help him, if his party insisted on leaving. It's hard to say how he will write that piece. Maybe when he finally returns to the Central Plains, what he is waiting for is not flowers and smiling faces, but the guillotine knife will outweigh the losses.

Thinking about it, these officers were a little restless, their faces were cloudy, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

……

After the day, Yu Mingfang took an army of 100,000 and captured prisoners from all over the world to the north and marched towards Liaodong City. In Pyongyang, he also left 20,000 troops led by Wei Chi Jingde to garrison the front army to maintain pressure on Ji and Silla.

And the results of the negotiations sent to Silla and Jiji also came out. Because Ji had participated in the Goryeo coalition army, offended the Sui Dynasty, and suffered a lot of losses in the war, he was terrified. In addition, after Gao Yuan and his party of 7,000 people arrived on Jeju Island, they immediately expelled the officials and troops on the island. This made King Ji furious.

Even if he sent an envoy to Woomyung to say to his face, he would definitely send troops to deal with the Koreans on Jeju Island, and he would never be relentless. This made Yuming can't help but put his mind at ease.

In contrast, Silla's state was much worse. First, they had not participated in the Goryeo coalition army, and they believed that the Sui army had no reason to attack them. Second, they had never fought against the Sui army, and they didn't know how powerful the Sui army was. In addition, the king of Silla also believed that his strength had not suffered any losses, and that he had an army of 80,000 and was familiar with the local terrain, even if the Sui army sent 100,000 people to attack, he might not be able to attack him. Therefore, he ignored the envoy who went to negotiate.

And after Yuming learned about this, he was not angry at all. Because this situation was also expected by him and the famous military division. Now, with their strength, they are indeed unable to attack Silla, but they have a good excuse to go to war against Silla. As long as the Liaodong camp digests the 200,000 Sui army prisoners who have been rescued, or trains the recruits to form combat effectiveness. It will be enough to destroy Silla and Ji in one fell swoop.

In the face of this, what they have to do is to take good care of the obscurity, bury their heads in the territory of Liaodong, eliminate the remnants of Goryeo, and after the internal integration is completed, they will send troops to destroy the surrounding threats, which is a matter of course.

Half a month later, the Sui army returned to Liaodong City. However, because the city was small, only part of the army was inhabited, and the 280,000 rescued Sui soldiers and people, as well as hundreds of thousands of Goryeo prisoners, had to stay outside the city.

This is also a matter of no choice, after all, when the Goryeo people built Liaodong City, they built it according to the standard of a fortress. Only fortification and defense were considered, and it was not considered as a central city in the Liaodong region. Therefore, the area of the city is very small, and the radius is only five miles. The city could only accommodate a maximum of 100,000 troops and 200,000 civilians.

And now, there are more than 100,000 troops and people under the command of Lin Mo in Liaodong City, plus 200,000 captured soldiers who have been rescued, more than 70,000 captured people, and tens of thousands of newly recruited people's soldiers...... There is simply no room for so many people in the city. Those Goryeo surnames who were captured from all over the city had to set up tents outside the city and guard them strictly.

Seeing this, Yuming had no choice but to order the sick and wounded, as well as some older soldiers, to be sent into the city to live, while the rest of the soldiers and prisoners were all camped outside the city, and were not allowed to enter the city without an order.

Now, the continuous autumn rain has stopped, the night sky of Liaodong is full of stars, the bright moon hangs in the sky, the silver-white moonlight pours on the endless camp outside the city of Liaodong, and the tents of all sizes are like a layer of silver veil.

The large camp outside the city was also stationed in several layers. On the outermost periphery were cavalry, in the middle were infantry men, and those prisoners were surrounded in the core. The soldiers and horses of the Zuo Ling Guard defended around the camp. In all key and critical parts of the battalion, there are also recruits from the People's Army standing guard. Although they were not able to fight, they were more than enough to patrol and scare the captured Goryeo civilians.

Groups of light cavalry, riding war horses, staggered through the passages in the camp from time to time, and the whole camp was like an iron bucket, impeccable in defense. It was almost impossible for the Goryeo captives to escape from the camp.

In Yuming's tent, several headlamps filled with oil were burning, illuminating the wide tent very brightly. Now, there are more than 20 generals and staff members sitting in the tent, except for Wei Chi Jingde, who is stationed in Pyongyang City, almost all of his Liaodong camp team is here.

Now that Goryeo has been basically pacified, in the later stage of the war, the Khitan Cave, which turned against them to help them, also got the prisoners and property he wanted, and happily returned to his tribe.

And Ji also sent a messenger to intercede, expressing great regret for helping Goryeo in the past, and was willing to give two taels of gold, five thousand taels of silver, and ten beauties to Yuming. I hope to become a vassal of the Great Sui.

Although Silla did not send envoys and showed an unruly attitude, they did not have the courage to attack the Sui army. It can be said that the situation in the entire eastern Liaoning region has basically calmed down.
