The moon is bright, and the clear light shines on Liaojie.

The clouds fade away, and the flowers across the trees are like embellishments.

The spirit is full of laurel branches, and the wheel is lacking.

The city is scattered, with a halo and a heavy encirclement.

Stand on the pill capital and watch the demon atmosphere disappear.

This song "Looking at the Moon in Liaodong" fully shows the excitement of His Majesty Li Er's seizure of this city. People are in good spirits at happy events, and the reward for breaking the city this time is also extraordinarily rich.

The rich wealth prepared by poor Yuan Nanjian to resist the Tang army has become the favor of His Majesty Li Er to the army.

First of all, the armies of the Khitan and Xi tribes received large sums of grain and cloth.

Although the armies of these two tribes have made great achievements, they are really disobedient. At any point, it will become a ticking time bomb.

After His Majesty Li Er rewarded them, he let them return to their homeland. In this regard, Su Zhi and the Mo Society are not dissatisfied with this.

They are different from the Don Army.

The Tang army dispatched 100,000 soldiers and horses this time, although this is an important military force, but even if it is all lost, it can only be regarded as a broken bone for the Tang Dynasty.

Their 80,000-strong army is different, and they can be regarded as the soldiers of the two clans. Once something is missing, I am afraid that the names of the Khitan and Xi people will have to disappear on the grassland.

Although they won two games, who knows if they will be able to continue to win in the future? At this time, fame and fortune are gained, and it is a good time to receive it when you see it.

Then, there is the question of the disposal of prisoners.

Nearly 100,000 captives, what should be done? Kill it, you really can't do it.

Let it go, what should they do if they continue to take refuge in Goguryeo?

Locked up, how many guards do you have to send?

On this issue, His Majesty Li Er showed the superb political means of the Emperor of the Ages.

He rewarded all the generals of about 300 people with high-ranking officials and ordered them to go with the army. As for the ordinary soldiers, each person was given two bags of grain and all of them were released.

After this war, Goguryeo was short of food, which was a certainty.

The Tang army released grain, and the army of Goguryeo requisitioned grain. Do you still need to ask what the people want?

Although such a release of grain has almost exhausted the grain stock in Liaodong City, it is still very cost-effective politically speaking. It not only solved the problem of prisoners, but also won the hearts of the people of Goguryeo.

As for some stubborn people, they still want to be loyal to Goguryeo in this situation?

For one, they are all ordinary creeps, even if they take refuge in the old master, it doesn't play a big role. Second, and most crucially, there are too few such people.

People's hearts are all flesh and blood, and the grace of sparing life, coupled with the gift of food, in this case, they still have to be enemies of the Tang Army? That's not something that ordinary white-eyed wolves can do.

Countless people swore that they must be obedient to the Tang Dynasty and completely break with the homeland of Goguryeo.

There was even a group of people who took the initiative to petition and asked to join the Tang Army and fight back.

Now, Guo Ye was tasked with pacifying a group of overzealous captives. They are the corpse-adders. The Gachu people are a small tribe of Goguryeo that have lived in Gagyu City for generations.

This time, more than 700 corpses were recruited by Yuan Nanjian to guard Liaodong City, and they were captured by the Tang army without much fighting.

After hearing about His Majesty Li Er's policy of leniency for prisoners, they were very moved, crying and shouting that they wanted to join the Tang Army, but they couldn't get rid of it.

The leader of this gang of corpse additions is called Wu Hesai. He knelt on the ground and said, "Qin Guogong, we are sincerely serving the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, so you can accept us." Whether it is charging into battle or besieging the city, we are not ambiguous! ”

Guo Ye said: "Why are you doing this? What's so good about fighting? Are you not afraid of death? How nice it is to go home and live a stable life. ”

"I'm afraid, we are also flesh and blood, raised by my father and mother, how can I not be afraid of death? But we can't just walk away. ”

"Why?"

"According to the rules of my people, if someone is captured, he is a slave. If you're lucky, you'll be able to get enough food. If you're unlucky, you'll have to work to death. ”

"Wouldn't it be better for Your Majesty to let you go?"

"After the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty captured us, not only did he not think of us as slaves, but also released us and gave us food, which is a great grace to us. I waited for an inch to be reciprocated, so I just patted my ass and left, is that still a person? ”

"You want to repay the favor?"

"Exactly."

Guo Ye sighed and said, "Then have you ever thought about the family members in the corpse city?" If you defect to the Tang Army. Yuan Nanjian's heart is not big, will he give your family ......?"

Wu Hesai's expression darkened, and he said, "At this time, I can't take care of my family." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Guo Yedao: "You joined the Tang Army, but you were so tired that your family died tragically. If Your Majesty accepts you, won't it hurt him in the name of a benevolent king? Do you want to put your great benefactor in the place of unkindness and injustice? ”

"No...... I didn't mean to wait that way. It's just that...... Just ......"

"Just what? With the strength of our Tang Army, you people are not even icing on the cake. If you don't accept you, it won't hurt. Not only did your majesty have a bad reputation, but your family also had to die a tragic death. Neither side is benefited, so why bother? ”

"But ......"

"Nothing." Guo Ye softened his tone and said, "The most important thing you should do now is to turn back to the corpse city." When our Tang army pressed the border, he encouraged the clansmen to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. This is where you can exert your power the most. ”

Wu Hesai's eyes lit up and said, "Thank you Qin Guogong for your teachings!" I'll go back and persuade my people. Just take a look. ”

The reason why Guo Ye came up with this idea for Wu Hesai was actually a complete excuse. In the war between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, the inclination of a small tribe really did not matter. The reason why he said this was all to coax these corpse men away.

What I didn't expect was that this idle chess move would really play a huge role in the near future.

……

……

The rewards came and went, and finally came to Guo Ye's head.

His Majesty Li Er said: "Let's speak first, whoever breaks through Liaodong City can get the position of Jin Yi Armor and Pioneer Officer." Guo Aiqing was willing to take a risk to persuade Sun Daiyin to donate the city, and of course I had to fulfill my promise. ”

"Slow!" Li Daozong knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say. ”

His Majesty Li Er frowned and said, "King Jiangxia, so far, are you still not convinced?" ”

It's not that he is not convinced, it's just for the sake of the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, Weichen thinks that the treasure armor can be given to Qin Guogong. But if you want to talk about the position of pioneer, Your Majesty still has to consider it carefully. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Don't forget, the Qin State relied on his incorruptible tongue to persuade the lord of Liaodong City to surrender and take Liaodong City, and this plan can not be repeated. The Goguryeo people are the best at defending cities, so what if they attack other cities? ”

Guo Ye said angrily: "What to do, just do it." Hit! ”

"Not really. How to mobilize manpower and how to organize siege equipment is a university question. Your previous opponents were not very good at defending the city, and you can do whatever you want. But in the face of Goguryeo's strong cities, I'm afraid that your two hits will not be useful. ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "But I, Li Daozong, am different, following His Majesty to conquer the east and west, how many fortified cities have I conquered? Even the cities of Goguryeo were also knocked down several times. Your Majesty's use of me as a pioneer is an honest and serious move. ”

His Majesty Li Er was also quite moved when he heard this, after all, except for Li Daozong, who was from Liaodong City, he really didn't miss a shot. He said, "Qin Guogong, what do you think? ”

Guo Ye said: "Your Majesty, what King Jiangxia said is completely nonsense. It's true that Wechen didn't have a record of capturing Goguryeo Fortress, but that's not because I'm incompetent, it's because I don't have a chance. As long as you make me a pioneer, no matter how strong the city is, there will be no problem. ”

Li Daozong pursed his mouth and said, "To put it lightly, do you know that a failure in a siege is hundreds of lives. There's no room for you to try and make mistakes! ”

Guo Ye smiled slightly and said, "King Jiangxia, if you are not convinced, why don't we make a bet?" ”

"Bet?" Li Daozong was able to grasp this and said: "Your Majesty, Qin Guogong wants to play in front of you, but you can't spare him!" ”
