Gongsun Du and Zhang Chen responded, turned around and gathered their troops, and went to kill the city of Goguryeo.

The rest of the cavalry, after resting for a while, under the command of Zhang Hao and several people, gathered all the corpses of the enemy together and burned them with a fire.

As for the corpses of the Liaodong soldiers, Zhang Hao ordered his subordinates to bring them back to Liaodong, so that they could return to their roots.

Originally, Zhang Hao did not plan to occupy the territory of Goguryeo, but now that he has the army and talents in his hands, it is still a little stretched to govern this territory again.

But this time, it unexpectedly directly destroyed so many troops in Goguryeo, and it is estimated that these will account for three or four percent of the entire army of Goguryeo.

There are still many cities in such a large area of land, and they can develop slowly anyway, and when Goguryeo has the ability to attack again, it is estimated that their own army and management talents will also be cultivated.

In Xiangping City, in the hall of the county guard's office, all the high-level officials sat together.

"My lord, the front line of Qisheng Bone City has been completely controlled by us, all the Goguryeo troops have withdrawn to the east of boiling water, and there are more than 10,000 Goguryeo civilians who have not had time to evacuate, and we have captured them." Gongsun Du reported.

"Very good, send troops to station, be careful not to be counterattacked by Goguryeo." Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"Lord Gong......" Gongsun Du looked embarrassed, and stopped talking.

"Any questions?" Zhang Hao frowned and looked at Gongsun Du.

"My lord, during this time, all the bandits and robbers in the territory have plundered everywhere, and the people have already complained." Gongsun Du said ashamedly.

Zhang Hao went out on the expedition, and the rear defense and army were all handed over to him, but he couldn't even help a few bandits, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart.

"Brother Shengji, what's the specific situation?" Zhang Hao asked in a deep voice, he believed that with Gongsun Du's ability, it was impossible for him to be unable to deal with even a few ordinary bandits.

"During this time, there were many bandits in the county, each of which was not very many, some only a few, most of them were a dozen to dozens of people, and there were not a few more than a hundred, adding up to four or five hundred shares."

"They appeared almost at the same time, but they did not join forces, but fought separately, and did not attack the city, but plundered outside the city."

"By the time the army received the news and rushed over, they had already run away, these bandits were blooming everywhere, and their whereabouts were erratic, and we had been clearing them all this time, but with little success." Gongsun Du said with a sad face.

"Didn't you track down their whereabouts?" Zhang Hao was a little puzzled, generally thieves will have their own cottages, and it shouldn't be too difficult to track down.

"My lord, since we took control of Liaodong, the people's lives have been getting better and better, and there are very few people who have become bandits, and I suspect that these bandits are all wandering from other places." Cheng Yu explained.

"Even if they're from outside, they need to have a place to stay." Zhang Hao was even more puzzled.

"Recently, many displaced refugees have known that Liaodong has abundant grain and grass, and they have come to take refuge. Cheng Yu said again.

Because these officials in Liaodong know Zhang Hao and have always been very good to the people, after these refugees arrived in Liaodong, they were not expelled, but would also distribute relief food.

This policy attracted more refugees from all over the world, who did not know each other, and who were among the bandits and bandits, who would not be discovered.

Zhang Hao is very concerned about the people, if you want to develop in the future, population is a major key, especially after irreconcilable contradictions with those families.

When he exterminated all the family lords in Liaodong, he had completely broken the relationship with all the big families, so these people were the cornerstone of his future hegemony.

Now these bandits are mixed in with the refugees, which really gives him a headache and expells the displaced people? That's impossible, and once you do, it's hard to attract displaced people in the future.

"My lord, I feel like there's a conspiracy here." Seeing Zhang Hao frowning and thinking, Xun You said out loud.

"What did Gongda find?" Zhang Hao looked up at Xun You.

"Although these bandits are fighting on their own and don't seem to have any connection with each other, there are many places worth scrutinizing when you think about it."

"First of all, these bandits and bandits basically appeared at the same time, and if no one organized it, I am afraid that this situation would not be formed, and in addition, they all used the same way to hide."

"The most important thing is that these people seem to be everywhere and disorganized, but after my careful analysis, they are extremely regular, at least there are no two groups of people in an area."

Xun You explained little by little, no one paid attention to it before, and when he heard Xun You say this, it was indeed the same situation as what he said.

"Looks like someone is deliberately targeting us." Zhang Hao said with a wry smile, and at the same time, a figure flashed in his mind.

"To be able to do it so perfectly, I'm afraid it's our old friend." Xun You also shook his head and said.

"You're talking about Gongsun Zhao?" Zhang Fei interjected.

"That's right, it's him, I really can't think of anyone else besides him, who has this ability to work against us wholeheartedly." Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"This shrunken-headed turtle is always hiding in the dark to trouble us, and sooner or later I will catch him and chop him up and feed him to the dogs." Zhang Fei said viciously, causing everyone present to laugh.

"I wonder what you have in mind about dealing with these rogues?" After laughing, Zhang Hao glanced around and asked.

"Just gather those refugees together and send a large army to guard them." Zhang Fei slapped the table and said.

"No, this will cause panic among the refugees, and if someone is willing to provoke it, it is easy to break out into a civil uprising and cause a riot." Zhang Hao shook his head and said.

"My lord, I don't know what the newly occupied Goguryeo city is going to do?" Guo Jia looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"For the time being, I haven't thought about any special use, but what is the best way to do it?" Zhang Hao thought for a while and asked Guo Jia.

"It was also General Yide who reminded me that since the people in the city that we just fought have been gathered by us, the city over there is also empty."

"We can gather all the foreign population over there, naturalize them, let them enjoy the same treatment as the people of Liaodong, and at the same time let them cultivate the wasteland there, and I believe that they will soon be able to integrate into us." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"But it still hasn't been able to clean up those bandits." Questions were raised.
