Chapter 90: The Wind Rises in the Dangerous City

The origin of Goguryeo is nothing more than a small prince of the Jizi Joseon Dynasty, because his surname is Gao, and the name of the Hou state is Goguryeo.

It is not so much a country as a relatively close tribal alliance, although there has been a rebellion in the country, and the descendants of the Gao family have been killed, but the puppet who succeeds is still surnamed Gao.

In the early days of its existence, the Goguryeo people may have consisted of the Tsuyo and some of the Buyeo people who had migrated to the region, and because of their growing strength, they attracted the attention of the Jizi Joseon and were divided.

Originally, the term "Hao" did not refer to a definite ethnic entity, but simply a general term for some ancient tribes that appeared in this particular region of Northeast China by ancient historians of the Central Plains.

At the beginning of the establishment of Goguryeo, it was in a military confrontation with Buyeo for a long time.

Buyeo had a very friendly relationship with the Central Plains Dynasty, and in order to contain the aggressive Goguryeo regime in the growth period, the Central Plains and Buyeo often coordinated militarily to attack Goguryeo.

During the reign of King Taejo, Goguryeo quickly expanded from an early tribal state to the Han River Valley.

In 53 AD, King Taejo of Goguryeo set up the five scattered tribes of Goguryeo into five provinces and implemented centralized control.

In 56, King Taizu annexed Dongwofu. Later, it annexed part of the territory of Donghao.

Subsequently, Goguryeo launched an offensive against Lelang County, Xuansu County and Liaodong. Completely free from the control of the Han Dynasty.

Goguryeo's expansion and centralization led to a direct armed conflict with the Han Dynasty. The military pressure of the Han Dynasty forced Goguryeo to move its capital to Maruducheng.

In the spring of the twenty-fifth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, King Muben sent generals to attack the four counties of Youbeiping, Yuyang, Shanggu and Taiyuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, Cai Tong, the Taishou of Liaodong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, used benevolence and faith to attract the people of Goguryeo, and restored the relationship between the two countries through peace and proximity.

It can be said that in the process of the growth of Goguryeo's legal costumes, when the royal power declined, it continued to repair relations with the Central Plains Dynasty. Once its wings are full. He turned around and invaded the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty.

This generation of Goguryeo kings, named Gao Yuanli, yes, he admired the culture of the Han Dynasty very much, and his name was named after Gao Yuanli who was built by the Yan State to send Jing Ke in history.

He was very young when he ascended the throne, and many ministers took the opportunity to strengthen their clans.

Stay until you're older. only to find that the whole country has become an empty shell, and the order can't get out of Marudu City.

To the north and east of Goguryeo, there are Wofu and Buyeo, to the west is Xianbei, and to the south is the Dahan.

The north and east sides are equivalent to feuds, otherwise generations of Goguryeo people would not have tried every means to seize the land from the Han court, just thinking about turning back and cleaning them up when they are strong.

As for Xianbei in the west. It is not daring, it is itself an aggressive nation. If it weren't for the wide spread of white mountains and black water forests, which are not suitable for grazing, they would have come a long time ago.

Therefore, for Goguryeo, the only thing that can be relied on in the stormy era is the Han in the south.

Xuansu County and Lelang County border Goguryeo. Now several tribes who are eager to try are colluding with Xuansu County openly and secretly. Therefore, the only person Gao Yanli can contact is Lelang County.

Teng Shu was not interested in Benhan, who lived in a remote corner, and many times, the other two Hans had his indications for military actions against the descendants of the Yin family.

Only a chaotic Samhan is in Lelang's self-interest. Otherwise, he, the county guard, would lose his importance in the Luoyang Imperial Court, and he might be removed at any time.

However, the chaotic Goguryeo was different, and if he didn't think of a way, he would be preempted by the Gongsun family of Xuansu County.

I heard that Gao gradually left the arrival. Teng Shu didn't hesitate at all, and took someone to his secret room to meet him.

He looked at the King of Goguryeo in front of him, a young man in his twenties, with a face like a middle-aged man.

"I don't know what happened to my happy waves?" Teng Shu knew it, but the negotiation was like this, whoever spoke first would be passive. Even Zhao Yun understands that he is an old fox, how can he not be clear?

Since the current relationship between Goguryeo and the Han court is not friendly, and there is peace in time of war, it is impossible for him to call the other party any king or the like, and there is no subordinate relationship.

The reason why Gao Yanli dared to swagger over, he expected that the Han Ting side would not detain him at all.

Otherwise, in a chaotic Goguryeo, a large number of people are displaced every day because of the war of interests between various tribes, which will greatly increase the pressure on the already chaotic Xuansu and Lelang.

"Xiao Wang is here, Lord Taishou wants to know why he came." Gao was so anxious that he didn't have much time to chat with him here.

"Isn't your forehead afraid that this official is the same as the Gongsun family?" Teng Shu smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Look at your internal life and death, and finally find an obedient support to the upper position." ”

If you want to talk about the machine and change the power scheme, he can do it, and the people are not weak.

Think about it, he has grown up in intrigue since he was a child, and his subordinates are full of spies from various tribes.

This time it is said to be swaggering, but in fact, it is without makeup, and in the territory of the Han Dynasty, no one knows this Goguryeo king who stays at home.

Perhaps the people of those tribes think that their king is just a puppet who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains.

But who of them knows that since he was very young, Gao Yuanli often hunted with the Gao clan and practiced martial arts from time to time. Although he did not have a channeling technique, his striking skills were considered top-notch in the entire Goguryeo.

He said yesterday afternoon that he went out of the city, and when he arrived at a place that people did not notice, he immediately changed into the king's attire, like an ordinary Goguryeo.

Fortunately, it is not the first time that he has traveled alone in disguise, he has been learning Chinese since he was a child, and he finally came to Wang Xiancheng under the stars.

"The Gongsun family itself is a big clan in Liaodong," a trace of cunning flashed across Gao Yanli's tired face: "Is Lord Teng allowed him to grow bigger?" Xiao Wang knows that there are not a few tribes who are currently in contact with Xuansu County. ”

"But how do you want this official to help you?" Teng Shu stood up, propped his hands on the board, and looked at him with fierce eyes: "This official knows your form very well. ”

"That's right, in name, you are the king of Goguryeo. But how many troops do you have at your disposal? Forbidden Army? Just kidding, you're pretty much a faction of each clan! ”

"If you are full of calculations, you have less than a thousand people in your hands."

He clapped his hands, and someone outside came in, the man was in his thirties, and he didn't look at Gao Yuanli, and called out respectfully: "Lord Teng!" ”

"You still know your Uncle Wang," the corners of Teng Shu's mouth were not without ridicule: "Compared with you, the strength in his hands is five times that of yours, you come to teach the official, who should I help?" ”

"Uncle Wang, you can't do this!" Gao gradually stood up: "Our Gao family is now in decline in Goguryeo, and we need you and me to work together to get through the difficulties." ”

This person's name is Gao Shangde, the younger brother born to the mother of the current King of Goguryeo, he smiled, a little arrogant: "Your father is in Japan, and he suppresses me in every way." ”

"God have mercy on him, he is dead. Do you think I'm willing to help you get on stage? At that time, if I showed the slightest thought, then I would have been killed by them without knowing it. ”

"You'd better stay in Wangxian City!" After Gao Shangde finished speaking, he left behind Teng Shu, who walked out of the door first. (To be continued.) )
