Tai Shici, Gongsun Du and Wen Chou led 30,000 officials and troops back to Youzhou, but left the looted property of the Goguryeo tribe to Liaodong County, which made Liaodong County's face full of smiles.
Liaodong County Shou is happy not to get those property, but the peace of Liaodong County, although he has also lost a thousand soldiers, but the Goguryeo tribe is now almost completely lost elite soldiers, and there is no one or two decades to recover at all, and Liaodong County Shouzheng can use this time to train soldiers to develop the economy. What is a thousand soldiers, recruiting troops in the huge Youzhou can be obtained in less than two years.
The Youzhou Rebellion ended in a complete victory for the official army, and this battle made the Qiuliju tribe and the Goguryeo tribe have no strength to invade Youzhou in a short period of time, and it can be said that there will be no major turmoil in Youzhou for three or five years.
Cheng Yin sorted out the loss of soldiers and property this time and reported it to Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi sighed deeply after reading it, and secretly said in his heart that fighting a war is to fight money.
Although this battle annihilated more than 40,000 soldiers from the two divisions of Qiu Liju and Goguryeo, all the tax money from Youzhou in the past five years was also smashed, and the people of the villages that were originally plundered by Qiu Liju and the Goguryeo tribe have not been properly resettled.
Nearly 200,000 people have been displaced, which is a big expense, and Zhao Yi has always been worried about it these days, although money can't solve all the problems, it can solve most of the problems.
Although there was a lot of money sent back by Qiu Liju and the Goguryeo tribe, it did not fill this huge economic gap.
Ninety percent of the money obtained by Zhao Yi's pure exposure business was invested by Zhao Yi in Youzhou, but it was still not enough, Tai Shici and others saw this situation, they were angry, and said that if they knew that the two tribes of Qiu Liju had brought such a great harm to the people of Youzhou, they should have taken advantage of the situation to kill all the Qiu Liju tribes that day.
Zhao Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this, and shook his head: "If we kill all the Qiuliju tribes, I'm afraid that our losses will be even more serious." ”
"General Tai Shici is going to be angry, and now we should not think about how to annihilate Qiu Liju, but find a way to resettle these displaced people." Cheng Yin reminded Tai Shici that now Youzhou soldiers are strong and strong, with the support of the strong Nanlou tribe in the north, and the support of Jizhou soldiers and horses in the south, if you want to annihilate the Qiuliju tribe, you don't need to spend much effort at all, as long as it is a tripartite combination of soldiers and horses, it will not be a problem to take down a small Qiuliju tribe.
Now the most important thing is the displaced people and villagers, as soon as he heard that 200,000 people were displaced, Cheng Yin felt very scared, if a person has no home, then he can find a cave or something to hold on, but there is no food, these people are very likely to take risks and embark on the road of rebellion.
The Yellow Turban Uprising, which had just been suppressed for a short time, was not because the people could not take care of food and clothing, and under the instigation of Zhang Jiao and other well-intentioned people, it became like that.
What Cheng Yin is afraid of is that if someone instigates it again at this time, and these 200,000 people also embark on the road of rebellion, then Youzhou, which bears the brunt of the attack, will fall into turmoil. This is also one of the reasons why Cheng Yin is so nervous, Zhao Yi finally managed Youzhou in such an orderly manner, and the scene of peace and joy of the people, Cheng Yin could almost have expected it, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
If there is turmoil in Youzhou at this moment, the Yi tribe outside the country will definitely seize this opportunity and invade Youzhou again.
Cheng Yin said what he was worried about, and when Zhao Yi heard Cheng Yin report this matter, he already had a consideration in his heart, Zhao Yi gently put the bronze jue on the table: "Now that the wheat of all the departments in Youzhou has been harvested, can you let the state and county officials relieve these people first." ”
"What the lord said is a way, but Youzhou has been fighting for days, and the food consumption is almost over, and now opening a warehouse and releasing grain can indeed solve the urgent need, but we will definitely be troubled by this matter in the future." Cheng Yin told the current situation in Youzhou, hoping that Zhao Yi could think of a way.
Zhao Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, and secretly said that he was not Yang Jian in "Fengshen List", and he could still conjure food without food. Now that things have come to this point, Zhao Yi can only want to borrow a little from the granary treasury in the north of the imperial court.
Zhao Yi ordered someone to take pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote a letter to Zhu Jun, but this matter is very important, the grain that Zhao Yi borrowed was not one or two hundred thousand stones, but two or three hundred thousand, even if there was so much grain in Jizhou, without the instructions of the imperial court, Zhu Jun was afraid and did not dare to open a warehouse to release grain.
Zhao Yi's handwritten letter said that Zhu Jun should prepare first, and once the imperial court order was issued, Zhao Yi would immediately send soldiers to Jizhou to retrieve the grain.
Cheng Yin admired Zhao Yi's style of acting very much, and secretly said that if the current emperor's style of acting can be as clean and neat as Zhao Yi, then some things may be avoided.
"Now that the turmoil in Youzhou has been calmed down, do you want to go back to the capital to restore your life?" Cheng Yin asked Zhao Yi, the imperial court has always had the intention to let Zhao Yi lead the troops to attack Xiliang's Beigong Boyu, this time because of the turmoil in Youzhou Zhao Yi was lucky to escape, now the Xiliang rebels are still rampant, the imperial court has not had a good way to do this, and now Zhao Yi, who is on the cusp of the storm, is the most suitable candidate.
Zhao Yi's eyes rolled, now Zhao Yi, who is the pastor of Youzhou, has supreme prestige in Youzhou, whether it is the people or the army, it can be said that Zhao Yi has now become the emperor of Youzhou. But as soon as he entered the capital, Zhao Yi would be timid in his actions, because if he was not careful, he might die in the hands of Zhang Rang or He Jin.
Zhao Yi didn't have much interest in attacking Beigong Boyu at all, but he had to agree to come down because of the imperial court. "Submit the battle report and this document to the imperial court first, and then discuss the rest of the matter." Zhao Yi can only take one step at a time now, no matter who wins or loses in the conquest of Beigong Boyu, the soldiers and horses of Youzhou will have losses.
And the most important thing is that Zhao Yi, who is the pastor of Youzhou, cannot be in charge of Liangzhou for the time being. After the victory, Emperor Ling of Han may give Zhao Yi a marquis, but he will not be able to get anything substantial. For the sake of that false name, pushing tens of thousands of his soldiers to the edge of the cliff, Zhao Yi would not do such a stupid thing.
Cheng Yin obeyed the order and went down to deal with the things Zhao Yi explained. Zhao Yi rewarded Gongsun Du for his meritorious deeds this time, and let Gongsun Du make a county order, which made Gongsun Du so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Although the position of the county commander is not much different from the captain Gongsun Du previously held, the captain is only a small leader in the army, and he has jurisdiction over more than 1,000 soldiers.
And the important thing is that Zhao Yi has promised Gongsun Du in private that letting Gongsun Du do this county order is just to exercise Gongsun Du's management ability, if Gongsun Du is outstanding, there will be a chance to be promoted in the future. This made Gongsun Du very happy after hearing it, and with this motivation, Gongsun Du will work harder in the future.
Wen Chou was left by Zhao Yi's side, and what Zhao Yi said to Wen Chou was that training him had become a great tool. made Wen Chou and Gongsun Du more grateful to Zhao Yi.
In the past few days, the atmosphere in Youzhou has been quite peaceful, the Yi people from outside the country have not dared to invade Youzhou again, and the displaced people have also been properly resettled. This made Zhao Yi's frowning brows finally relaxed.
Gao Shun came to the state capital in a hurry and reported good news to Zhao Yi. "My lord, we have finally found out the identity of that person." Gao Shun ran to the state capital with a happy face.
"Oh?" Zhao Yi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to open the cloth handed over by Gao Shun, and when he saw the name and identity of that person, Zhao Yi frowned.
This person is the Han man found by Gao Shun from the Qiu Liju tribe that day, since the official army besieged the Qiangqu tribe, Zhao Yi sent Gao Shun to investigate secretly, and today he finally found out. Gao Shun's excitement was beyond words.
"My lord, kill this traitor who plans to collude with foreign clans to disturb Youzhou!" Gao Shun said with a murderous face, when he got the news, Gao Shun had already ordered the soldiers to keep a close watch on that person, and he came back to ask Zhao Yi for advice.
According to Gao Shun's style, that is, that person should be arrested and put to death to avoid future troubles.
However, Zhao Yi shook his head slightly: "No, we can't alarm him for the time being, if we kill him, then Qiu Liju is likely to contact others again, instead of letting Qiu Liju find someone to unite again, it is better to let Qiu Liju use this person we already know." "The invisible enemy is the most terrible enemy, and now that he knows that Qiu Liju has reached an alliance with this person, then Zhao Yi should hold this dark line and uncover it at a critical time.
If it is revealed now, it will not be of the slightest benefit to the officials and soldiers, and Zhao Yi will not do this kind of loss-making thing.
Gao Shun nodded in understanding, understanding what Zhao Yi meant: "My lord, then what should we do with this person?" ”
"Watch him carefully. Wait until the right opportunity is to expose him. The corners of Zhao Yi's mouth hooked a sneer, since he knew who the dark line was, then even if the life of this dark line was in his own hands, it was easy for Zhao Yi to let this person die. General Gao Shun, you have to learn to use the traitor, sometimes the things that the traitor does can be more effective than tens of thousands of soldiers rushing to kill on the battlefield. ”
Gao Shun suddenly realized: "Do you mean that the adult means that we can use the traitor to pass on false information?"
Zhao Yi smiled and nodded, secretly saying that Gao Shun's reaction was not slow, and the information transmitted by a traitor was much more convincing than the illusion that Zhao Yi deliberately made.
After Gao Shun left, Zhao Yi opened the map of Youzhou and checked it carefully, the overseas Yi people have now lost the strength to enter Youzhou alone, and now is a good time for the development of Youzhou.
When Zhao Yigang wanted to send Cheng Yin to release his long-planned Youzhou plan, Tai Shici came in and reported a message: "My lord, the envoy of Goguryeo, please see your lordship." ”
"Goguryeo emissary?" Zhao Yina's raised pen froze slightly, and said in his heart that the matter of Goguryeo had been resolved, why did he send a messenger here?
