"Whew! Finally arrived at Mount Gaima. ”

The lord of Goguryeo looked at the continuous mountain peaks in front of him and let out a long breath.

Immediately, Goguryeo looked back at the almost defeated army, like a refugee team, and couldn't help but feel sad.

At this moment, there was a sudden tremor on the ground, and then the lord of Goguryeo saw a group of Han cavalry rushing down from Gaima Mountain.

"It's not good, it's the cavalry of the Han army!"

Immediately, there was an exclamation from the team.

Seeing this, the lord of Goguryeo instantly understood that this iron cavalry army did not go to Changqing at all, but came to Gaima Mountain in advance.

Although Goguryeo garrisoned soldiers and horses on this mountain of Gaima, there were only 5,000 old and weak soldiers because there was no war here for a long time.

These 5,000 old and weak soldiers were defeated with a single blow when the 30,000 iron cavalry were unprepared.

Moreover, most of the iron cavalry were cavalry, so that these soldiers stationed there did not even have anyone to flee to report the battle.

Goguryeo's face turned pale when he thought of this, and then the prime minister of Goguryeo said, "King, evacuate quickly!" ”

"There are Han army iron cavalry in front, and Han army foot soldiers in the back, where can we go?"

"Great King, evacuate to the north and enter the country of Wofu, and the Han people will definitely not go to war with the two countries at the same time."

When the lord of Goguryeo heard this, he immediately had hope again, and immediately ordered to leave 20,000 troops to block the Han army, and then personally led less than 10,000 troops to escort the hundred officials to flee.

On April 16 of the third year of Jianning, the fugitive lord of Goguryeo was attacked by the Han army's iron cavalry on Gaima Mountain, and more than 8,000 of the 20,000 Goguryeo troops who blocked the attack were killed, and the rest were captured.

The fleeing lord of Goguryeo only led 8,000 soldiers and horses and 100 fleeing officials to flee to the country, so that the south of Changqing in Goguryeo was occupied by the Han army.

On April 18 of the third year of Jianning, it was said that it was in the capital of Goguryeo.

When Dong Chong received the news that the lord of Goguryeo had fled to the state of Wofu, he prepared to write a good news and report it to Liu Hong.

However, just as Dong Pet was about to put pen to paper, Jia Xuping retreated and said, "General, do you really think that this is the time to write a war report for Your Majesty?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Dong Pet put down the pen in his hand and asked suspiciously, "What does Wen He mean by this?" ”

Jia Xu stroked the beard that had just been renewed and said, "General, I don't know that it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to defend the world." Although we occupy this place at this time, we do not have full control over the hearts and minds of the people. ”

"Goguryeo has ruled this place for a long time, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to change overnight, so we should be fully prepared."

When Dong Pet heard this, he immediately knew the important surname of the matter, and then said, "Wenhe, is there a good plan?" ”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and then he looked at Dong Chong and said, "There is a strategy that can make Your Majesty secretly happy, and it can also make the people of Goguryeo no longer have illusions." ”

"Wenhe, please make it clear."

"The capital of Goguryeo was burned down, all the property in the city was taken, the property of the bureaucrats in the city was confiscated, and the families were sent to Youzhou to dig a canal. The people of the city migrated to the surrounding cities. ”

Dong Pet looked at Jia Xu in shock when he heard this, and exclaimed, "Wenhe, have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?" In this way, how is my Han and the Qin Dynasty different? ”

Jia Xu shook his head and smiled: "The general deceived me, ordinary people don't know what the Qin Dynasty did in this matter!" The general doesn't know if it? Why did Xiang Yu burn Xianyang? It is to emulate the Qin State, destroy the belief of the Six Kingdoms, and destroy the belief of the Qin State. ”

"The capital of the country is gone, where is the country? If it weren't for Xiang Yu's arrogance, hehe, this world ......"

Although Jia Xu didn't say anything halfway, Dong Pet still understood what Jia Xu meant.

Jia Xu is right, if you want to quickly solve the attachment of the people of Goguryeo, this matter must be done, and you must also risk carrying the black pot for Your Majesty.

Why did Jia Xu say that His Majesty would be secretly happy? And not rejoicing?

The reason is here, Liu Hong will not support this matter on the surface, and Liu Hong cannot have the reputation of a tyrant.

Thinking of this, Dong Chong gritted his teeth and ordered, "Order the Tiger Ben Army to immediately raid all the Goguryeo bureaucrats in the city, capture and detain all the family members, and escort all the people in the city to the surrounding counties. ”

Jia Xu looked at Dong Pet and said, "General, it's decided?" ”

Dong Pet also looked at Jia Xu, and said coldly, "Hmph, this villain, except for a certain Dong Pet among the big men, no one is qualified to do it." ”

Listening to Dong Pet's words, looking at Dong Pet's cold face, Jia Xu secretly said in his heart, "It is worthy of being the mother of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will have one more ruthless general after that!" ”

On April 20 of the third year of Jianning, all the people of the capital of Goguryeo were driven to the surrounding counties, and the Han army received 800,000 stone of grain and 4 billion yuan of money from the city. A fire then burned the capital of Goguryeo, and the fire burned for three days and three nights.

The people of Goguryeo all looked at the raging fire, knelt on the ground and wailed, and for a moment Goguryeo mourned.

On April 30, the third year of Jianning, Goguryeo sent a telegram to Luoyang, and on the same night, the cabinet forwarded 132 copies of the impeachment of Dong Chong.

Liu Hong didn't even glance at the impeachment recitals, just quietly looked at the night sky.

At this time, Liu Hong didn't know what it was like in his heart, and it was indeed the most correct thing to burn the capital of Goguryeo, but Liu Hong still felt a little emotional, and the crime of this matter was not something that anyone was willing to bear.

However, Liu Hong's uncle Dong Pet took it, Liu Hong didn't believe that Dong Pet didn't know the serious surname of this matter, and if he didn't get it right, he would have to be strictly investigated by Tingwei. But apparently Liu Hong would not let this happen.

Li Hao whispered beside Liu Hong, "Your Majesty, you have been standing for half an hour." ”

Liu Hong turned around and said, "Spread the decree, Dong Zhong destroyed the city for his own grievances, causing the people to be displaced, and the crime is unforgivable. The rest have their own rewards. ”

"The south of Goguryeo Changqing has since been the territory of the Han Dynasty, with Hanzhou, county-level divisions and officials, and then issued, and before that, the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, General Dong Chong, temporarily commanded all important military and political affairs in Hanzhou."

"Order the South Vietnamese Captain Dong Zhuo to return to Hanzhou immediately, temporarily return to the Northern Expeditionary Army, and order the military department to give priority to replenishing the South Vietnamese Army, and all the remaining personnel of the South Vietnamese Army will be upgraded by one level."

With the issuance of Liu Hong's holy decree, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu suddenly put aside Dong Chong's matter.

Joke, now the officials of a state are waiting for the distribution of various factions, who still cares about Dong Pet's matter!

A few of these civil and military ministers don't know the real purpose of what Dong Pet did! If nothing else, the four billion dollars alone would be enough to shut these people up.

However, this is contrary to Confucianism after all, if you don't react, how can you maintain its image of Confucianism?

Now Liu Hong has given them a step, a step full of temptation, except for a few old people who are too old-fashioned, the rest of the people are all involved in this huge distribution of benefits.

Just when those old-fashioned people wanted to continue to make trouble, Liu Hong said, "The people of Hanzhou all need to promote Sinology." After all, it is the supremacy of Confucianism to educate the people.

And just like that, everything was moving in a good direction.
