The county watchman's house.

Yuan Xi arranged Gao Ling in the courtyard at the back. Several soldiers were sent to guard it.

Back to the living room.

He Mao and Cui Yan just arrived.

"Sit down."

"Gongzi Xie."

Yuan Xi glanced at the courtyard behind him and returned to his seat: "The woman I brought is surnamed Gao, and her name is Gao Ling. It was when I was in the Da Liao River that I fell into the water and was rescued by me. Do you recognize? ”

He Mao glanced at Cui Yan.

Cui Yan also shook his head: "I'm ashamed, the ministers don't recognize it." ”

"Send someone to check it out immediately. I suspect that she is a royal family of Goguryeo. If so, send her back to Goguryeo. And the king of Goguryeo, Gao Yanwei, what is his attitude towards us since the Battle of Mazisu? Did you know about it? Yuan Xi asked.

"Understood."

Cui Yan replied: "Gao Yanwu is not belligerent, and he doesn't want to go to war with us. It's just that some of the generals who hold real power under his command and the nobles of Lao Buyeo all regard the battle of Ma Zishui as a shame. According to the information we have, they are actively preparing food, grass, ordnance, and training soldiers. ”

He Mao continued: "But don't worry, Childe. The strength of our Liaodong and Korea far exceeded that of Goguryeo. The Mazishui defense line alone had 30,000 heavy soldiers, including 10,000 spearmen, who were dedicated to restraining his iron cavalry. In other counties, there were also 50,000 local troops. In Xiangping City, there are 70,000 elites. The last general had the confidence to stop the invasion of Goguryeo. ”

"That's good..."

Yuan Xi didn't ask much about Goguryeo.

Goguryeo experienced the defeat of Mazishui and suffered a great loss of vitality, and if it wanted to invade Liaodong and Korea, it would have to recuperate for a year or two. During this period of time, Yuan Xi's strength must have increased rapidly.

At that time, the situation was very different.

Remembering the purpose of this trip.

Yuan Xi said: "Tomorrow I will go to the eastern part of the Korean Peninsula to see the Yellow Sea. Which of you is going with me? ”

"The last will go." He Mao hugged his fists.

"Okay, you will lead three thousand horsemen and go with me. Bring more food, and we may have to live in the Yellow Sea for a while. Yuan Xi said.

"No."

Although I don't know what Yuan Xi is doing in the Yellow Sea, looking at Yuan Xi's serious face, it doesn't look like he went to the beach to play. He Mao and Cui Yan didn't dare to be careless. One went to prepare soldiers and horses, and the other ordered the counties close to the Yellow Sea to do a good job of reception.

Vertical day.

The gentle sunlight shines into Xiangping City, making Hanwa come to life.

The people walked through the streets.

Patrolling guards inspect back and forth.

Yuan Xi got up early in the morning, washed up, walked to the courtyard, and saw Gao Ling waiting in the living room. He climbed over the wall and went straight to the school grounds.

He Mao had already prepared a formation of 3,000 horsemen.

The King Kong giant ape carried an iron rod and stood in front of the military formation, enjoying the soldiers' amazement at it, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers. If you want to go to war now, He Mao's three thousand horsemen must be a lot of combat effectiveness.

Yuan Xi rode a red rabbit horse and waved his hand: "Let's go..." ”

Three thousand horsemen drove out of the school yard and headed for eastern Korea.

After Yuan Xi left, Gao Ling knew that Yuan Xi had left. She wanted to ride a horse to chase after her, but was stopped by Cui Yan. After that, he sent someone to contact Goguryeo, and sure enough, it was confirmed that Gao Ling was the little princess of Goguryeo who accidentally fell into the water when she went out.

For Yuan Xi to save Gao Ling, Gao Yan was very grateful.

He sent people to send a lot of precious specialties, beautiful jade, money and silk, etc., to show the friendship between the two countries and his gratitude to Yuan Xi. After that, on the north bank of Mazishui, he took Goling back to Goguryeo.

During this time, more than 3,000 horsemen of Yuan Xi and He Mao arrived in the eastern part of the Korean Peninsula.

This is the old nest of the Samhan family.

It has unique living habits and national characteristics.

Because it is by the sea, there are countless people who make a living from fishing. Dried fish, pickled fish, and salt have become the specialties of the Yellow Sea Town. There is an endless stream of businessmen coming and going.

After Yuan Xi arrived here, he was directly stationed in Donghan County.

Donghan County is the closest county to the Yellow Sea, with more than 70,000 registered people, making it the most populous place in the whole of North Korea. Merchants who came and went, the forces of Samhan, and the fishermen who formed a group of fishermen all gathered here.

Da Da...

More than 3,000 horsemen arrived in Donghan County, breaking the former tranquility of the county.

The iron horse galloped, like a strong wind, and came to the outside of the county.

The King Kong giant ape, which was more than five meters tall, stood at the front of the team, which further boosted the prestige of the army.

The people avoided it.

The sergeants defending the city were also very worried. Seeing the banners of Yuan Xi and He Mao, Fang recognized the soldiers and horses from Liaodong and hurried out to greet them. Deng Yu, the county magistrate of Donghan County, also ran to the entrance of the street with a sweat to greet Yuan Xi.

"Xiaguan Deng Yu, meet Gongzi and General He." Deng Yu knelt down and said.

"Get up."

Yuan Xi went straight to the county government.

"Deng County Order, do you still have the power of Sanhan in Donghan County?" When he arrived at the county government, Yuan Xi asked.

"Yes."

Deng Yu's answer made Yuan Xi frown, and then asked, "Can they usually interfere with the government's governance?" ”

"Not really. But it has a monopoly on business.... Deng Yu invited Yuan Xi to sit down and slowly introduced the situation in Donghan County. After He Mao arranged the accompanying soldiers and horses, he also rushed to the county government.

"Monopoly commerce....

Yuan Xi muttered to himself.

He thought in his heart that he must completely eliminate the power of Samhan.

Because according to historical records, after Sanhan was defeated by Gongsun Du, after more than 100 years of recuperation, he will gradually become stronger again. Eventually, it evolved into Baekje and Silla. It did not fall until the Tang Dynasty.

Now that you have come to North Korea, you can't turn a blind eye.

Yuan Xi asked, "What are they running in?" Grain and dried fish? ”

"Yes. And table salt.... ”

"Isn't the salt government-run?"

Deng Yu replied: "North Korea's salt has always been operated by Samhan. They controlled the sea and produced salt, which was sold in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jiangnan, and then purchased large quantities of grain and shipped back to Korea. Therefore, all the materials needed by the people of North Korea were supplied by Samhan. The government did not receive clear instructions from Gongzi, and did not dare to act rashly. ”

"How can it be!"

Yuan Xi said slightly angrily: "I'll give you clear instructions now." North Korea's access to the sea must be controlled by the government. Salt must also be government-run. The grain needed by the people could be purchased from the government or traded in Liaodong. ”

"He Mao."

"Yes."

Yuan Xi instructed: "Send people to the sea immediately, control all the fishing boats, and seize all the goods." If anyone dares to resist, they will be killed. There are also searches of the towns and villages near the sea, and the disarming of the families and Samhan. ”

"No."

He Mao turned to leave.
