Li Shimin once said: Today's Jiuying is determined, and there is only this corner.

Because the Liaodong region was originally owned by old China, it was during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and Goguryeo took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to continue to expand here, so this land had to be taken back.

But even if this is not the case, according to the grand strategy of the Tang Dynasty, this Goguryeo must be destroyed, the reason is very different from the Sui Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty has already taken the northwest, and when the Western Turks were conquered, they were about to fight to the Arab region, which is the sea in the east, and the southernmost side is either a swamp or a miasma, and it is inaccessible, so you can only expand to the west, but if you want to expand to the Western Regions, you must take Goguryeo.

If you don't fight Goguryeo, when Goguryeo unifies the peninsula, it really can't be underestimated, and besides, the Khitan and Jin Ya on the edge of Goguryeo are not Han Chinese, and the central government's control over this place is also relatively weak.

In the final analysis, this is actually the need of grand strategy.

However, it is easy to expand the territory, and it is really not easy to govern it well.

Especially now, it is difficult to effectively govern, and once the chaos starts, it will give people a feeling that the mountains and rains are coming, from ancient times to the present, the great empire is the most prone to collapse, the last big empire is the Soviet Union, and the same is true of the Tang Dynasty today, the northwest has become a mess.

Therefore, everything has to be done according to one's ability, and the bigger the territory, the better.

Li Ji and these soldiers are responsible for fighting wars, winning wars one after another, and then their own names will go down in history and will be remembered for eternity, but they will not care about the governance after the war, and it will all fall on Han Yi's head.

The one that sounds nice is to appease the ambassador, and the one that doesn't sound good is to wipe the ass professionally.

......

Now, the war has only entered the final stage, it has not completely ended, Yuangai Suwen has not yet been captured, and there are still many cities that have not been occupied, and Su Dingfang hopes to be able to capture these cities before the coldest weather comes.

But for Han Yi, his work has just begun, they did not directly attack Pyongyang City, but the other party took the initiative to surrender, although this reduced casualties, but it was a very troublesome thing for the takeover, because he couldn't use too violent means, many things had to use his brains, and he had to negotiate with King Gaozang, as well as how to implement his plan, and there were so many people in the city, much more than the Tang army, and these people used to hate the Tang Dynasty very much, once this is out of control, it is very dangerous.

It took several days for Han Yiguang to talk to King Gozang and those ministers, and he had to understand the specific situation of Pyongyang City. It was only today that he came to the largest estate in Pyongyang City, which was the residence of Yuangai Suven, and he had been an official for so many years, and it was the first time that he had raided his home.

"What a rich man!"

Han Yi stood in front of a small door, and couldn't help but say, it is really rare to be so surprised to make him, the richest businessman in the Tang Dynasty, so he stopped for a while, exhaled lightly, and then slowly walked in.

I saw that there was really a hole in this small door, so big that it was unimaginable, and there was golden light and pearlescent everywhere. I saw piles of gold ingots and silver ingots arranged neatly, boxes of jewelry piles were no longer closed, and all kinds of rare treasures were displayed on wooden cabinets, which were really dazzling and overwhelming.

This is the small vault of Yuangai Suwen.

At this moment, Han Yi really thinks that Li Zhi is from the ancient Ming Jun, when Li Zhi took out the bottom of the pressure box to bribe the eldest grandson Wuji, it was just a few boxes of jewelry, but it was not even the tip of the iceberg when it was placed here, but Li Zhi was sitting on the most powerful and wealthy empire in the world today, but his wealth was far inferior to that of the prime minister of Goguryeo.

This is actually the difference between civilization and barbarism.

According to the system of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi's annual income is limited, the country's finances are still in the treasury, Li Zhi wants to use the money from the treasury, which has to be approved by the minister, when he went to the samurai to worship his ancestors, Han Yi personally donated money to him, in fact, Han Yi is richer than Li Zhi, although Li Zhi has a lot of land, but he also has to support a lot of people, and the expenses of the harem, the treasury is only a small part of the burden. And Yuangai Suwen actually hides so much wealth, look at the thatched huts in the city, and then look here, you can't feel that you are in the same city.

Of course, this is still very beneficial to Han Yi, if this money falls into the hands of the people, you are still embarrassed to ask for it, but now, of course, this money is stolen and belongs to Datang.

"You guys hurry up and register, if the battle on the front line is unfavorable, these things must be taken away, and they can't be left for Yuangai Suwen."

Han Yi just stood in front of the door and looked at it for a while, then waved his hand to the officials beside him, and then turned around and walked out.

The officials on the side were very surprised, this matter of copying the family is the favorite of officials, since ancient times, it has been like this, if Han Yi wants to be greedy, it is easy, but Han Yi doesn't even want to look at it more, there are really a lot of jewels in it.

But this kind of corruption is the most unskilled, no matter what means are used to be greedy, as long as it is greedy for this kind of money, it is a stupid person, because as long as anyone sits on this son, he can do it, a really smart person will not do this kind of unskilled thing, as far as Han Yi is concerned, he can increase his wealth a lot if he makes a policy casually, these things, he really doesn't look down on them.

When I got out of the hut and came to the front yard, I saw that the huge courtyard was full of people, and they were all women, all of them looked like Peugeot, some plump, some slender, some round, and tall.

"Pacify the ambassadors, they are the concubines of Yuangai Suwen and his son."

One person reported to Han Yiyu.

Han Yi said: "How many people are there?" ”

"Two hundred and thirty-eight."

"How many sons does Yuangai Suwen have?" Han Yi asked.

"There are four concubines, and twenty-seven concubines, but the concubines are not among them."

Han Yi was stunned for a while, and said, "I'll imprison them here for the time being, and then deal with them after the fight." ”

"The villain obeys."

Han Yi sighed lightly, returned to the back hall, sat on the tiger skin collapse, looking at the luxurious decoration, even the drinking cup was made of gold, but he only felt shocked, this is why there are so many people who kill their fathers and sons in order to compete for power, and the six relatives do not recognize it.

Ono on the side was curious: "Brother Han, I think everyone else seems to be quite excited, why are you a little unhappy." ”

Han Yi smiled bitterly: "I also thought I was very excited, after all, it was the first time to go back to my home, but when I really came here, I felt that everything here was very dirty and disgusting." ”

"Really?"

Ono looked left and right, and it was clean, and it wasn't very dirty.

Han Yi glanced at him and just smiled.

He was originally like that for money, he really didn't like everything here, not only that, even if he was sitting here, he felt creepy, because everything in it could contain a human life, he really felt disgusted, he hadn't drunk a sip of water since he entered the house. got up and said, "Let's go, this place is really not for people." ”

As soon as I came to the front yard, I saw a person walking towards me, it was Liu Renliang.

"Han Shangshu, great victory, great victory."

Liu Renliang said excitedly: "Our army encircled and annihilated the main force of Yuangai Suwen in Sashui in one fell swoop, and has achieved the final victory. ”

Han Yi was pleasantly surprised: "Is this true? ”

Liu Renliang took out a letter and said, "This is someone sent by General Manager Su just now. ”

Han Yi hurriedly took it, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay!" Good! Good! I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and work with peace of mind. ”

Liu Renliang said with a smile: "It turns out that Han Shangshu has always been worried about General Su!" ”

Han Yi said: "Aren't you worried? ”

Liu Renji: "I'm not too worried, this Pyongyang has been breached, and the demise of Goguryeo is only a matter of time." "He must know that Li Ji was originally retreating, so he may not be so calm.

Because the battle of Sashui was very dramatic, this luck component is relatively large.

"Liu Tingshi, you are a master of art and bold, but I can't do it." Han Yi smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Now that the general situation has been decided, we have to think about how to end the war alert in Pyongyang City and restore this place as soon as possible." ”

Liu Renliang nodded, in fact, he was also here for this matter, and asked, "I don't know what Han Shangshu plans to do?" ”

Han Yi groaned slightly and said: "If we want to completely occupy Goguryeo, first of all, we must portray ourselves as a righteous image, we are not robbers, we are rescuing them, so that they will submit to my Tang Dynasty." ”

Liu Renliang nodded and said, "Han Shangshu is reasonable. But there was confusion in his eyes.

Han Yi said: "Then we must first make Yuangai Suwen a villain, expose his crimes, and put all the responsibility for this war on Yuangai Suwen, but this kind of thing can't be boasted about by ourselves, we have to find some people to promote us, so I want to make a rehabilitation movement." ”

"Rehabilitation movement?"

"Yes, as far as I know, under the rule of Yuangai Suwen, many righteous people have been destroyed, some have died, some have been reduced to slavery, some are still in prison, and we have to rehabilitate all of them, and if you think about it, if these people come out, who are they grateful for? And who is the hate? And they are all Goguryeo, and they were all famous in Pyongyang before, if they are innocent, then they are righteous, and we who rescued them are naturally also just. ”

Liu Renliang groaned for a moment and said with a smile: "Han Shangshu's plan is really wonderful!" ”

And that's still to come! Han Yi said modestly: "Where, where." ”

After coming out of Yuangai Suwen's mansion, Han Yi went to a private house, which was actually the Yuan family, and of course the Yuan family also sent people to Pyongyang to do business.

"Every time I see you kid, Lao Tzu always has a sense of foreboding, when I beg you, don't come to me if you have something, okay?"

Yuan Vulture lay on the couch, looked at Han Yi, and said with an unhappy face.

Han Yi smiled and said, "Lord Yuanbao is really like a god, but next time, I'm already here this time." ”

Yuan Vultures sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Say, what do you want from me?" ”

"It's a little thing."

"Don't say anything small, if you come to beg me, it's definitely not a trivial matter."

"That's the same, the Lord of Yuanbao is ...... anyone."

Without waiting for Han Yi to finish speaking, Yuan Vulture said: "Don't slap me on the back, I don't want to eat your set, the more you shoot, the more panicked I become, you have something to say." ”

Han Yi smiled, and said, "I don't know if the master of Yuanbao is so big, but he has set it on fire." ”

Yuan Vultures snorted: "I am a law-abiding citizen, how can I do such a trivial thing." Having said that, there was a twinkle of confusion in his eyes.

Han Yi smiled: "Then the Yuan Castle Lord wants to try this feeling." ”

Yuan Vulture looked at Han Yi with a little surprise, "What do you want to do?" ”

Han Yi said in a low voice: "I hope that Lord Yuanbao can help me burn down the granary in Nancheng." ”

Yuan Vultures were stunned, sat up, and looked at Han Yi in shock.
