Chapter 82: Sowing Discord

In Goguryeo, Gojong, who had mastered the military power, quietly returned to Pingyuan City and launched a series of political policies. The political changes have really firmly grasped the military and political power in their hands. Due to the high prestige of the Goguryeo royal family in the country, most of the generals who were elevated or "disposed of" did not have the strength to resist.

The responsibility for the defeat in the last war was borne by the two brothers of Gao Chan Gao Feng, who had died. The reason is that the two of them fought infighting, which affected the battle. Only the gentle Comrade Gao Cong upholds the overall situation, but he is soft-spoken. However, it is precisely because of this that the third prince Gao Cong was able to pass the test of the "Great Heavenly God" Gao and entrusted the important task of the country to Gao Cong.

Gao Cong originally wanted to abandon this identity as a god, but when he looked at it, he found that the whole country was already immersed in the dream of the country of gods, and almost all the people were convinced of it. And the prestige of his Goguryeo royal family is all because of this legend of the gods.

Dyed in the wool. Gao Cong found that he had become a grasshopper shaking a tree.

In addition to the 30,000 troops who went out last time, there are still 50,000 troops in the country, and 30,000 people are defending Silla Baekje in the south, and they must not move. There are still 20,000 people guarding the passes and royal cities, and it is not easy to use or send troops to the Bohai Sea.

In addition, Gao Cong also has a long-neglected army in his hands - the water army. How neglected? When Gao Yuan sent troops to the Bohai Sea, he didn't even think that he still had such an army in his hands.

When Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goryeo three times, the most people died was the navy. Therefore, the Goguryeo people have long regarded the captured behemoth warships as "waste", thinking that they should only be used when they escape.

In the past, when the three brothers were there, the eldest brother Gao Chan had a team of 10,000 people in his hands, and he Gao Cong had a water army in his hands. Of course, the second brother Gao Feng has a team of female soldiers in his hands......

Therefore, this naval army can be regarded as Gao Cong's personal soldiers, in fact, this naval army is also Gao Cong's big backhand. Before he had the slightest chance to ascend to the throne, he originally thought that if he stood on the wrong side in the struggle for the throne.

Other people ignore the navy, Gao Cong is not, he has already seen the sharpness of the blade of the navy.

Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended.

You can fight in formation when you go ashore, you can escape far away from the sea, and you can fight guerrilla, which can be described as a top two. Therefore, Gao Cong spent a lot of energy and money on the water army. If there was no such army, Gao Cong would not dare to fight again, but with a gun like this pinned to his waist, whether to fight a cat or not became a dilemma in Gao Cong's mind.

"Newspaper~" A knight with a red token rushed in, and those with red tokens could not get off the horse and enter the palace directly.

Gao Cong raised his contemplative head, glanced at it, and said to the visitor: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, I'm overjoyed, the Dahe clan is gone!" A close minister brought the letter, looked at it, and said very happily.

Gao Cong listened to the word "king" very useful, although his father Gao Yuan, the old man, is still there, but the real power has been grasped by him. The word "king", he has been wanting to hear and think about it for a long time. Gao Cong stood up excitedly: "What did you say?" ”

"The 3,000 Dahe cavalry that the Bohai people relied on have all been withdrawn! Bohai is now meat on the board! ”

Gao Cong turned his head to look at the messenger, walked over and pretended to help, and the man stood up in fear: "Your ...... king"

Gao Cong struggled to maintain the calm of a superior person: "Is the information on the letter reliable?" It can't be a ghost made by the Bohai people, right? ”

"Your Majesty, those cavalry have been withdrawn for three days, and we have sent a detailed team to investigate, but there is no cavalry!"

"Good ......" Gao Cong clapped his hands, and the look of hope in his eyes appeared: "Bohai people, this time I want to be ashamed!" ”

Suddenly, Gao Cong looked at the sky again and said: "Gao Chan, it seems that the destiny of heaven is on me!" Hahahaha......"

Bohai:

The tens of thousands of temporary troops brought back were reorganized into 8,000 people, and the remaining slaves and the rescued slaves were all paid for work.

A series of decrees were issued to rest with the people, and taxes were reduced and exempted from military service.

The booty brought from the Xi people was enough to support the operation of the country, and the people would naturally be able to reduce taxes; The hard labor was handed over to the captives, and the people were naturally exempted from it.

With a stroke of his pen, he established a new city thirty miles north of Longquan Mansion, which could settle those who had been rescued, and directly establish a powerful barrier between Dahe and Bohai.

Pacifying the people, building a city, training the army, and breaking the red dust are not too much, and there are no less things to say. In terms of the official system, the method of maintaining the Dark River General's Mansion remained unchanged, but on this basis, the power of some Dark River General's Mansion was reduced, and uncritical official positions were given to the locals.

In order to avoid being caught in the classroom by Broken Hongchen, Xu Qi sneaked to the castle built by Xu Qing. Xu Qing's castle has a name - Zhenbian Fort.

There were already more than 2,000 households around the town's fort, as well as more than 1,000 slaves and 1,000 state soldiers. The slaves here worked harder than elsewhere, because Xu Qing gave them a chance to regain their freedom - anyone who had worked hard here for a year could be sent to the northeast to clear the wasteland.

Before I knew it, it had been almost two months since it came out. The state soldiers began to feel homesick, and Xu Qing also began to miss Xu Xiaoqing and Xun Xue'er. Seeing that the Bohai Sea gradually stabilized, Xu Qing planned to go home. First sent people to recruit three large ships, and then transferred 1,000 state soldiers from Longquan Mansion to prepare to board the ships nearby.

Just about to talk to Xu Qi about the situation, Yang Cheng and Yang Xin both arrived:

"My lord, the Goguryeo people on the other side are restless."

"Oh? How to be restless? ”

"Just now, someone from the dark river said that he found traces of landing on the riverbank."

"It can't be a fisherman, the Goguryeo people were so injured last time, how could they make a comeback so quickly?"

"Lord, it can't be a fisherman, don't be careless......"

"Well, okay, shoot a few people over to find out the news, if the Goguryeo people do something wrong, directly destroy his granary, assassinate his officials, you don't have to come back to report me......"

"......" Yang Cheng Yang Xin saw that Xu Qing was following the advice, and happily took the order.

According to the schedule, the city lord Xu Qing had to inspect the city wall in the afternoon, and then look at the work of the captives. But today, when Xu Qing was looking out from afar on the city wall, he saw an acquaintance. said that they were acquaintances, but they only met once, but Xu Qing was very impressed by him.

Hat-fisherman!

Or the last time Xu Qing was reciting poetry on the beach, the hat fisherman appeared, and the hat fisherman said to Xu Qing, something strange happened in Haixing, if you can solve the answer, I will give you a big gift.

Great gift, Xu Qing was a stab at that time, and the fisherman could see it! What is the great gift to the history of a state assassin? Xu Qing has been thinking about it all the time...... Unfortunately, that puzzle is a closed room murder case, and the people behind it are huge. Xu Qing did not receive the gift, but instead lost his troops and suffered a big loss. As a result, Xu Qing became more and more impressed by this mysterious hat.

Xu Qing brought a few hundred cavalry and ran over, but the hat was not in a hurry, on the bank of the river, he was really like an old fisherman.

Approaching, Dou Liweng got up and said to Xu Qing: "Xu Tingshi, don't come to harm?" ”

"It's okay......" Xu Qing returned coldly.

Dou Liweng laughed dumbly: "Xu Tingshi, the little old man overestimated you, and also underestimated the person behind them......"

"So, you know the people behind them?" Xu Qing beat a drum in his heart, can there be such a power, is it the five surnames? Xu Qing has the courage to exterminate the Cangzhou clan, but if he is given ten guts, he will not provoke him.

"This person, Lord Assassin really can't be provoked." Dou Liweng groaned and said, "This person's surname is Li ......"

"Li Yuan?!"

"No, it's Li Shimin!"

"How is that possible?! What is he doing to me? Do you dare to sow discord? ”

Xu Qing didn't want to believe what Dou Liweng said about Li Shimin harming him, but he gradually thought about Li Shimin's side in his heart, the power is strong, from Chang'an, it seems that Li Shimin also meets the conditions, and there are too many conditions that can be attached.

If it is Li Shimin, how will he get along with this lord of the Tang Dynasty in the future? Don't......

Dou Liweng's words pulled Xu Qing out of contemplation: "I'm not from your Tang Kingdom, Li Shimin is not the prince, and you are not an important minister, what are you doing to sow discord?" ”

Xu Qing had already believed three points at this time, but he glanced at Dou Liwen suspiciously: "You are from Goguryeo?" ”

Dou Liwen shook his head: "No, I'm from Silla......"

“…… and a Silla wanderer who walked in places such as Bohai Sea, Shandong Cangzhou, etc. Dou Lisa added.

"Silla ......," Xu Qing thought lowly.

"That's right, Silla, after Jinhan, is also the weakest of the three Hans." The beans poured into the bamboo tube of the bucket hat Weng said: "The three kingdoms on the peninsula, Silla Baekje and Goguryeo, are all after the three Koreas. ”

"If one of the three countries is strong, it will be united by the other two countries to fight, and if the three countries are weak, it depends on whose background is harder. In the past, the backstage of Silla was the Central Plains country, and the Baekje and Goguryeo people did not dare to provoke, but now the Central Plains have just experienced great turmoil......"

"You showed up today, maybe you wanted to ......"

"Lord Thorn Shi is wise! That's right, I came to you this time to unite with Bohai to crusade against Goguryeo! ”

"In this way, your status in Silla is quite high, otherwise how could you care so much about these things. Tell me how high you are in Silla......"

"This is a mistake, for the sake of the country, where do you want to divide your identity?"

"Humph!" Xu Qing turned around and waved his hand, making a gesture to refuse.

"Assassin Shi go slowly, let me tell you this, my status in Silla is comparable to that of the king of Silla!"

Xu Qing was slightly surprised, and said calmly: "You are the King of Silla himself, why should I sacrifice my own men to help you?" ”

"Doesn't the assassin think about Bohai?"

Xu Qing lied: "I am from the Tang Kingdom, and I owe them a little favor." ”

"Well, I don't have to tell you about the big things of the Goguryeo people!" Dou Liweng turned around and left, and then Xu Qing pulled people back: "Old man, walk slowly......"

"What? Are you willing to help Bohai now? ”

"Hehe, it depends on how much the news you bring is worth."
