The Goguryeo monarch Gao Yuan hated the behavior of Yuan Taizuo and Yuan Gai Suwen and his son in controlling the government and seeing no king. When Cao Cao presented the head of Yuangai Suwen, he was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded Cao Cao and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao was sincerely frightened on the surface, but secretly took advantage of the collapse of the Yuan family and the chaos of the Goguryeo court, and wantonly recruited rebels to develop forces.

A few months later, when Cao Cao stabilized his power, he brazenly launched a palace coup, poisoned Gao Yuan, and appointed Gao Yuan's son, who was less than three years old, as the king of Goguryeo.

Jinyiwei, who was lurking in Goguryeo, passed the news back through a unique messaging channel. However, Yang Gao, who learned about this, did not have much interest in it.

In fact, as early as the time when Cao Cao entered Goguryeo, Yang Gao had already anticipated the situation in Goguryeo today. It is true that the father and son of Yuan Taizuo and Yuan Gai Suwen are also considered to be masterpieces of a generation, but compared to Cao Cao, the talented Emperor of Wei Wu in history, there is still a big distance after all.

In addition, now that Li Tang has not been destroyed, Guanzhong and Hebei have not been decided, and the people of the world are still apprehensive about the evil consequences brought about by Yang Guangsan's expedition to Goguryeo, it is definitely not the best policy to conquer Goguryeo at this time, so Yang Gao did not pay much attention to the changes in Goguryeo.

What's more, now that the Tang army has just retreated, Luoyang has been newly determined, and there are still a lot of aftermath matters that Yang Gao needs to deal with, and he doesn't have much mind to pay attention to the changes in the situation in Goguryeo, thousands of miles away.

The first problem Yang Gao faced was how to revitalize Luoyang, the now dilapidated eastern capital. Luoyang used to be the capital of the Great Sui Dynasty, is the political and economic center of the country, the southeast through the Jiangdu, the northeast through Shandong, the west through Chang'an, is the transportation center of the Grand Canal, rich businessmen gather, the crown is like a cloud, all industries are prosperous, lively and extraordinary.

But all this prosperity ended with the chaos in the world, first Wagang Li Mixing troops came to attack, and then the Tang army marched eastward, Luoyang and its surrounding areas have been constantly fighting.

Wang Shichong faced the strong enemy that came one after another, and could only concentrate on developing the military, relying on Luoyang alone to support his 100,000 army, and the weight of Luoyang's taxes can be imagined. Today, there is no rich family in Luoyang City, there is a lack of materials, prices are soaring, thousands of dollars of rice, and the people are miserable.

In order to restore the livelihood of the people in Luoyang, Yang Gao immediately ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain, relief to the victims, suppress the price of grain, issued a holy decree to exempt Luoyang from taxes for one year, and promoted Zeng Guofan, who performed well in this Luoyang Campaign, to Luoyang Taishou.

Secondly, although the Battle of Luoyang failed to capture Li Shimin, the first boss of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it still captured a large number of Tang army generals. For these captured Tang troops, Yang Gao adopted a different approach.

For the Tang Army, who is originally from Guanlong, their families are all under the rule of Li Tang, even if they are forced to surrender due to the situation today, they will come to the battle against the water.

Therefore, for these captives, Yang Gao did not choose to recruit them, but punished them all as coolies, repaired the city defenses, dredged the water transportation, and excavated the mines. In the future, it can also be used as a bargaining chip to knock Li Yuan hard.

As for those displaced people from all over the country who were forced to join the army in desperation for their livelihood, or Wang Shichong's old troops who defected to Li Tang in the previous battle, Yang Gao absorbed them all after they were disrupted.

Dealing with ordinary captured soldiers is actually very simple, Yang Gao just made a general decision-making direction, and the specific implementation was in charge of Xue Rengui, Chang Yuchun, Meng Gong, Lin Renzhao and other lieutenant generals. There were only a few captured senior generals of the Tang Army who were really dealt with by Yang Gao.

The first Tang prisoner of war that Yang Gao met was Li Shimin's confidant and advisor, Sun Wuji, the chief assistant of the famous Tang Dynasty in history.

Although Yang Gao has been in this world for many years, and he has heard the name of Changsun Wuji from military intelligence reports in various places many times, this meeting is the first time Yang Gao has met with Changsun Wuji.

Looking at the calm young Confucian in front of him, Yang Gao secretly opened the system, and sent instructions concentratingly: "Test the four-dimensional ability of the eldest grandson Wuji for me." ”

"Ding Dong, the system is executing the character detection program, and the detection object is the local character Changsun Wuji, please wait patiently for a while..."

"Ding-dong, the system has been detected. Subject's eldest grandson Wuji, commander 85, military force 73, intelligence 94, political 97. ”

"This ability is really powerful, and he deserves to be a man who can be valued by Li Shimin!"

Yang Gao sighed secretly in his heart, and slowly said: "Eldest Sun Wuji, your father Changsun Sheng used to be an important minister of my Great Sui Imperial Court, and he sent many envoys to the Turks to protect the peace of my Northern Great Sui. ”

Without waiting for Yang Gao to finish speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji interrupted loudly: "Yang Gao'er, don't say more!" If you want to kill, you will kill, my eldest grandson Wuji will never be a thief who betrays his master! ”

"Bold!"

Yuwen Chengdu, the general of the palace guarding who was standing next to him, immediately shouted when he heard this: "Eldest grandson Wuji, you are a tiger and a tiger, and you have made suggestions for Li Yuan and Li Shimin, the father and son of the traitor, many times, with the intention of subverting the Great Sui Jiangshan Sheji. Now that you have been captured, according to the laws of the Great Sui, you should have been put to death by Ling Chi to set an example, Your Majesty remembers the merits of your father's eldest grandson, the old general, so he deigned to surrender to you, you thief, don't know what to do! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji had no fear on his face, looked directly at Yuwen Chengdu with his eyes, and said loudly: "Yang Guang has no way, so that the world is in chaos. The vitality of the Sui Dynasty has been exhausted, and the Tang Dynasty is in full swing. My eldest grandson Wuji was able to meet a master like King Qin in the troubled times, which is really a blessing for three lives, although he died today, his heart has no regrets! ”

"What a traitor!"

Yuwen Chengdu gritted his teeth in anger, turned back to Yang Gao and said, "Your Majesty, this traitor is determined to follow Li Shimin all the way to the dark." According to Weichen, there is no need to talk to him too much, and he will be punished as soon as possible to correct the law of the country! ”

Yang Gao knew that with Li Shimin's monarchical charm, it would be tantamount to an idiot's dream if he wanted to subdue the eldest grandson Wuji so easily. Then he waved his hand and said, "That's it, for the sake of the old general of the eldest grandson, let's spare his life." Tell me to go down and prepare a clean cell for the eldest grandson Wuji, and don't neglect to take care of it! ”

When several guards heard this, they immediately escorted the eldest grandson Wuji down and took them out of the hall gate, the eldest grandson Wuji turned his head, looked at Yang Gao and snorted coldly, and said: "Yang Gao, don't play these little favors in front of me, my eldest grandson Wuji will never do anything against the master!" ”

Yang Gao shook his head helplessly, and commanded again: "Come on, bring Pei Renji to me!" ”

Not long after, Pei Renji, who was still dressed in armor, walked into the hall under the supervision of several guards, and before Yang Gao could speak, Pei Renji knelt on his legs and slammed his head: "Sinner Pei Renji, see Your Majesty!" ”
