Chapter 611: Demarcation of the Northeast

In the thirteenth year of Yuheng of the Cheng Han Dynasty, in the summer, in order to deal with the southward movement of the Yan army, Li Xiong, the lord of the Cheng Han Dynasty, ordered Li Shoudu, the general of Zhengdong, to supervise the military of Badong, and led 50,000 troops to enter Hanzhong and Badong counties to resist the invasion of Liaodong.

At the same time, in order to prevent the Yan army from going south from Yinping, Li Xiong ordered his son Li Yue, a general of the chariot cavalry, to lead 30,000 troops into Zitong County.

Under the strong recommendation of his nephew Li Ban, Kui An was awarded the rank of captain of Hanxiyi and was ordered to assist Li Shou in defending Hanzhong.

……

The tension between Cheng Han and Yan inevitably affected Jiangdong.

"Recently, tens of thousands of Yan troops have gathered in Yongzhou, and the target is directly aimed at Hanzhong on the south side of the Qinling Mountains."

In the Taichu Palace, Sima Shao, a young emperor who was twenty-five years old at the time, heard this, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. In the five years of Yongjia, the world was boiling, and Yanwang Weishuo was just a homeless leader on Laoshan Mountain. Later, because he went south to Xuzhou to buy grain, it happened that Hu Lu went south, and by chance, he was appointed as a soldier by the Xuzhou Assassin History.

Although Wei Shuo and Zu Ti achieved a great victory in Liuxian County, except for Liu Kui in the court at that time, they all firmly believed that it was Zu Ti's credit.

So much so that later, when it came to meritorious deeds, Zu Ti replaced Pei Dun as the assassin of Xuzhou because of his merits, but Wei Shuo, the greatest hero, got nothing.

It was precisely this 'mistake' that made the imperial court miss the only opportunity to transfer Wei Shuo into the court, but unfortunately at that time, except for Liu Kui who tried his best to recommend Wei Shuo to the Son of Heaven, no one in the court realized what was missing.

His father felt remorse for this when he was dying, otherwise why would he let Wei Shuo get out of control and grow into a behemoth that controls the general trend of the world.

Sima Shao has great ambitions since he was a child, and has the ideal of restoring the Central Plains and reviving the majesty of the Great Jin Dynasty.

At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, while secretly accumulating strength to prepare for the final destruction of Wang Dun, he was thinking about making great efforts, looking forward to saving the Jin family with the power of Jiangdong in the future.

But Sima Shao saw very clearly that as long as Yan Wangping destroyed the Han Dynasty, Jiangdong could no longer exist alone.

"Maohong, what do you think of this Shudi dispute? Is it possible for Cheng Han to block the Yan State soldiers? ”

Since Sima Rui's death, Sima Shao has a lot of trust in Wang Dao, and all affairs in the DPRK and China are discussed with Wang Dao before they are implemented. As soon as he received the military information from Hanzhong this time, he brought Wang Dao, Yu Bing, Yu Liang and others to discuss.

"Your Majesty, the situation in Chenghan is probably not optimistic, alas! If the general can work with the imperial court, Jiangdong will be able to spare energy to vigorously support the Cheng Han, and the forces of both sides may have a hope of defeating the Yan army. ”

"I don't know if Aiqing has a plan to teach me?"

Facing Sima Shao's expectations, Director Wang shook his head regretfully and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are unwilling to offer advice, but that the court is powerless!" In the internal general Wang Duntun is heavily armed with Yu Gu, and the threat to Jianye is close at hand, and even the general in the imperial court is difficult to deal with, where is the energy to manage the life and death of the Han Dynasty? ”

"Alas, I can't help myself! Also, most of the imperial court's troops are guarding against the general, where are the extra troops? ”

Sima Shao felt sorry for himself for a while, and couldn't help complaining: "However, once the Yan Kingdom destroys the Cheng Han and takes all the Shu land, I am afraid that the imperial court will no longer be able to suppress the other party in the future." ”

Wang Dao, Yu Liang and others felt the same way when they heard this, although this speculation was not true, it was not far away, but it was a pity that even though they knew that the only opportunity to prevent Yan from unifying the world was in front of them, the imperial court still couldn't seize it.

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable, but it's a pity that the imperial court has not been able to catch it, and it is difficult to help Cheng Han, so it can only be done in vain."

"Could it be that I can only watch King Yan flatten the four seas step by step? Waiting for the Yan Wangbing to be built in the future and replaced by the Jin room? I have the ambition to revive the Jin family, how can I be indifferent to this? ”

Sima Shao was very unwilling to do this, he was despised by Zhang Biao, the commander of the guards, in Jicheng, completely ignoring his identity as the prince, and forcibly intercepted Song Yuan, but he watched but could not do anything, how similar is it to the current feeling?

In this regard, Sima Shao couldn't help but feel indignant from the bottom of his heart.

Director Wang glanced at the Son of Heaven quite sympathetically, even though he has the greatest talent in the world, but in the face of the absolute gap in strength, he is also a clever woman who can only cook without rice, so he can only be at a loss.

"Your Majesty, Lord Situ, in fact, things have not deteriorated to the worst situation, and there is still room for redemption." Yu Bing said suddenly.

"Oh? I don't know what Ji Jian's countermeasures are? Sima Shao's eyes lit up.

"In fact, someone should be more anxious about the situation than us?"

"Ji Jian refers to the great general Wang Dun?" Hearing this, Wang Dao, Yu Liang, Sima Shao and others were thoughtful.

"That's right! There are many contradictions between the general and the king of Yan, Wang Dun never wants to see the king of Yan unify the world, because then he will never end well, otherwise he would not have sent Kui'an to lead troops into the aid of Chenghan. ”

"The minister thinks that we should ease relations with the general at the moment, and it is best for the two sides to put aside the dispute for the time being, and then encourage Wang Dun to send more troops to Cheng Han, so that not only can help Cheng Han, but also take the opportunity to weaken Wang Dun's strength."

……

As King Yan asked Goguryeo for the two counties of Daifang and Lelang, King Michuan had to pinch his nose and agree to Wei Shuo's proposal for a territorial exchange, exchanging the core territory near Marudu for land south and east of Datong River and Langlin Mountain.

In the first year of Taeyeong, Goguryeo began to migrate to the Samhan Peninsula, and the capital was moved from Marudo Fortress to Joseon Fortress, the former Jin Obibang County Governor, and renamed Pyongyang. Some ministers once believed that Pyongyang was located on the south bank of the Taedong River, across the river from Liaodong, and that there was no guarantee of security, and proposed that the capital be located in the Obifang County Administration.

In the end, Minister Kura Sukeri pointed out that the city is small and the surrounding terrain is flat and undefendable, so it is easy to break through once attacked by the enemy. On the contrary, Pyongyang was a tall city, and Zhang Tong only relied on a few thousand troops to block the siege of tens of thousands of Goguryeo troops.

As for the threat from Liaodong, Cang Zhuli believes that Goguryeo has just signed a territorial exchange agreement with Yan, and as long as Goguryeo does not take the initiative to provoke the other side, there will be no need to worry about the threat from the north for at least a few decades.

In this way, Goguryeo could rely on the Kingdom of Yan and unify the Samhan Peninsula in the south with Pyongyang as its foundation. After the pacification of the Samhan Peninsula in the future, we will consider choosing a place to build a new capital.

Kurasuke's proposal was strongly supported by King Mikawa, and the status of Pyongyang's provisional capital was confirmed.

When the migration began, a large number of Goguryeo people had to travel long distances south. Compared with the civilians who dragged their families on foot, the magnates were treated much better, not only in horse-drawn carriages, but also by Goguryeo soldiers on the way to protect their safety.

This migration was a huge blow to Goguryeo, and the achievements of many years of construction were ruined, but in the face of the unreasonable King Yan, Goguryeo had to choose to migrate.

Liaodong Commander Oju was the official in charge of overseeing the migration of Goguryeo and drawing the final line with it, and he took some of his officials to Marudu Castle after the cabinet documents were sent to the county guard.

Yi Yi knew very well that the Goguryeo people were full of resentment towards Liaodong, and it was difficult to guarantee that someone would destroy the cities before leaving. And in ancient times, just a fire was enough. At that time, it only needs to be pushed to natural and man-made disasters, and what can Liaodong investigate and deal with?

Considering that Marudu Castle was the seat of the future Shin Lelang County, Yi Yi naturally would not allow the Goguryeo people to destroy it. Therefore, he personally led dozens of officials, and with the assistance of hundreds of soldiers and government soldiers, he closely monitored every move of the Goguryeo people.

By the end of July, with the Goguryeo royal family and powerful people stationed in Pyongyang, only ordinary Goguryeo people remained in the entire territory. Eui and Goguryeo will complete the final step of the territorial exchange, which is to demarcate the border between the Great Jin and Goguryeo.

In fact, there is nothing to say, basically according to the suggestion of Yanwang Weishuo, it is generally along the Datong River and Langlin Mountain as the dividing line.

Yi Yi pulled over a map of the northeast, on which there was a red line drawn along the Datong River, he pointed to the red line and said: "Your Excellency, please see, this is the Datong River, which is the boundary between you and me in the future." From then on, as long as Goguryeo kept its duty and abided by the "Regulations on the Administration of the Vassal States", King Yan would ensure the safety of Goguryeo. ”

"Please tell His Royal Highness King Yan that my lord will fulfill his obligations as a vassal country. In addition, King Yan promised to support my Goguryeo to go south to pacify the Samhan Peninsula, I wonder if King Yan has any instructions on this matter? ”

It's time for good! Yi Yi secretly discussed to himself, he replied with a smile: "The minister of state is worried, the king has ordered to hand over a batch of ordnance to Goguryeo, and in addition, he will continue to sell ordnance to Goguryeo at a lower price in the future." (To be continued.) )
