The five counties of Liaobei have been decided.

Zhao Guo no longer has to worry about the east, although there are still many sporadic rebellions in the local area, but it has no impact on the overall situation. Guo Xiaoke, who had a harsh reputation, was in charge of Goguryeo and purged the remnants of the party. Li Chongjiu can be said to be very relieved.

Goguryeo handed it over to him and decided to sit back and relax.

At this time, a letter was directly delivered from Zhongshu Province to Li Chongjiu's desk. It turned out to be written by Sun Chu, who had made military exploits in Liyang before.

Sun Chuyue objected in the chapter, and Li Chongjiu relocated all the Goguryeo nobles to the land of Zhao. Sun Chuyue said in the recital, but whoever wants to destroy his country, he should destroy his heart first. For the wealthy families in the upper echelons of Goguryeo, they should be encircled, and talents should be discovered among them and adopted for their own use, rather than expelling them from their hometowns.

Li Chongjiu listened to Sun Chuyue's words and felt that it made sense, since ancient times, a country has often not been the lower-class people who have lost hope in the country, but the upper-class elites and intellectuals who have been dissatisfied with the country. The same is true of today's society, where the lowest class of people, penniless, love the country, but the elite, who earn a lot of wealth, but think about going abroad all day long.

Li Chongjiu was as good as a stream, and felt that there was a correct place for Sun's appointment, and the current performance was sent to Zhongshu Province for discussion.

After the Turkic breakthrough, the division of the northern steppe was not decided. Now is the time to discuss the two things together.

After more than three months of deliberation with the grassland departments, Li Chongjiu finally decided to divide the grassland into three parts. In the westernmost part of the establishment of the west of the capital of the protectorate, the jurisdiction of the north of the river loop grassland, the general of the Xi Department of the British Fu capital protection, Ashina touch the end of the deputy capital protection, Liang Shidu. Zhang Changxun is the main manager of the unified army, and he is in charge of the party. Turkic, Tiele tribes.

And the white road Yin Mountain. There are also Thorn Le River grassland, Huaihuang Town, set up the Baidao Dadu Protectorate, so that Wang Junkuo is the capital protector, Tuli is the deputy capital protector, Erhan, Etuo, Yuan Junzhang, Ashina Simo is the military master. It mainly manages the five tribes of the Xi people, the Turkic, the Baifei, the Murwei, and the Tiele tribes.

As for Yuyi Town, Huo'er Shen Grassland, it is the original Songdesert Metropolitan Protectorate, which was renamed the Eastern Dadu Protectorate, because the original Metropolitan Protector Guo Xiaoke changed to Goguryeo. Therefore, Li Chongjiu decided to promote Zhou Zhou to be the capital protector of Liaodong Dadu Protectorate, and Tudi Ji to be the deputy capital protector, mainly managing Khitan and Goguryeo. Turbulence, Ding Zero Zhubu.

In contrast, the original Liaodong County of Zhou Zhou has been flattened because of Goguryeo. It has become the hinterland of Zhao State, and its strategic position has declined a lot. Li Chongjiu transferred Sun to Liaodong County to serve as a county magistrate.

In addition, Li Chongjiu also made He Li, the deed of the Tiele Chebi Department, the British duke. As the spokesperson of the Zhao State in the Mobei Tiele tribes. So the grassland has been divided.

Wen Yanbo and others were very much in favor of it, and Sun Chuyue used a large number of Turks. Hu people are officials, and they buy people's hearts. Such as Tuli, Ashina touched the end, they were all the leading party of Zhao State to eliminate Jieli at the beginning. For such a leading party, it is necessary to give generous support and set an example for others. At the same time, these leading parties cannot dominate one family, and staying there to contain each other is the right balance.

As for the Turkic Khans who Tuli and Ashina asked for at the beginning, Li Chongjiu allowed them to be given the title of Khan. This is also a trick of power, giving you an official and a knight, but not giving you real power. Tuli, Ashina Momo has the honorific title of Khan, but the subordinates under Jieli were divided among the ministries. Tuli, Ashina only got a small part of the cake.

Tuli, Ashina knew that Li Chongjiu was like this, but he still received the title of Khan, and neither of them was convinced, and they both regarded themselves as Khan.

The same was true for the treatment of Goguryeo, and in the five counties of northern Liao, Li Chongjiu decided to select a group of Goguryeo princes and ministers who had personally conquered Pyongyang and captured them.

These people have been in Youjing for a long time, and in addition to not being able to go out of the city, they are still very free. They witnessed the prosperity of Youjing and the strong national strength of Zhao, and they were not born to have a heart of confrontation. Li Chongjiu selected pro-Zhao elements who admired the culture of Zhao and actively reformed them, and these people were about 30 or so officials.

The highest served as a county minister, and the lowest served as an official such as the lord book, and all of them were sent back to the five counties of northern Liaobei with their families.

In addition, Li Chongjiu also selected the Goguryeo wealthy clan in the local area and asked them to send their children to study in the imperial eunuch of Youjing Kingdom. With hostages in hand, Li Chongjiu also appointed these wealthy families to officials. Li Chongjiu's actions made the local rebels of Goguryeo later alleviate the Zhao State a lot. However, the successive uprisings of the people continued until more than 20 years after the revolution.

On the grassland, it was smooth sailing, and it was generally calm, and the remnants of the party loyal to Jieli also died out one after another under the pursuit of Ying Hefu.

Now Li Chongjiu is waiting for the news of the three-way army attacking Li Tang and the battle against Lin Shihong in the south. However, Cao Wen's urgent report from Chang'an surprised Li Chongjiu.

Because of Yang Wen's betrayal, Li Shimin took the risk of military advice in Xuanwumen, killed Li Jiancheng, the prince of Li Tang, led the army to surround Taiji Palace, and forced Li Yuan to pass on the crown prince position to himself. The changes in the history of Xuanwumen still happened like this.

Li Shimin, Li Chongjiu's most feared opponent, still ascended to the position of Li Tang's crown prince, and it doesn't matter whether he forces Li Yuanchan or not. Now Li Shimin has stepped onto the stage and directly faced Li Chongjiu.

It seems that the final battle is still indispensable. Li Chongjiu put the report aside and muttered alone.

Zhao is now stronger than Li Tang in terms of economy, national strength, and military strength, but because of the rapid expansion in recent years, there are also many hidden dangers inside. Judging from Cao Wen's intelligence, Li Yuan not only did not get angry with Li Shimin this time, but also personally expressed his intention to Li Shimin as the crown prince to the Li Tang clan and the ministers.

After Li Chongjiu heard about it, he deeply felt that Li Yuan was old and spicy, this is what the mature politician did, since Li Jiancheng is dead, then there is only one road below. If Li Yuan opposed Li Shimin at this time, it would inevitably cause further division within Li Tang, and internal coaxing would directly lead to a civil war, and then Li Chongjiu would be able to destroy Li Tang without much effort.

Therefore, Li Yuan did not mean to settle accounts with Li Shimin, but stood up and vigorously supported Li Shimin. helped Li Shimin get through the most difficult hurdle at the moment, Li Tang did not fall into a split because Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng, but because of the prestige accumulated by Li Yuan and Li Shimin's outstanding talent, a temporary stable phenomenon was maintained.

Although Li Chongjiu knew that Li Yuan vigorously turned to support Li Shimin, if there was a rift, there must be a zài. Even if Li Yuan does not oppose Li Chongjiu, there are also people in Li Tang who support Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and they will not be afraid of being squeezed out by Li Shimin.

And these people are what Li Chongjiu wants to use. (To be continued......)
