Cao Zhen's "atrocities" in the city of Susheng Bone are similar to those of Xiahoulan and Wei Yan in the domestic city, they are all looting materials, tearing down the earth walls, burning down the houses, and completely leveling this centuries-old famous city. The only difference was that after capturing nearly 20,000 residents and soldiers, Cao Zidan ordered the execution of hundreds of them, and the rest were all taken back to Liaodong - thus winning the class.

At the same time that Shixun got the news from the front, the county guard Dong Meng also heard about the relevant situation, so he hurriedly ran to find Shixun, saying that I roughly calculated that there were not many people arrested on the south road, and General Cao on the north road captured 30,000 people one after another, among which there may be some Chinese who had been taken captive in the past, but the number would never be large. Do you want to place all these 30,000 people in my Liaodong County now? What shall I feed them?

When Shi Xun heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "Liaodong is vast, the household is only 70,000 ears, and there are many gaps, what does it mean that there is no way to raise them?" And before that, Baqi led 30,000 people to come, wouldn't it be allowed by Liaodong? ”

Dong Meng said at this time, at that time, at that time, Baqi brought 30,000 people to have a subordinate, so I had a chance to gradually split and finally die...... In the end, Baqi hung up, even if he reluctantly integrated them into the people of Liaodong. However, most of these captives are unorganized and undisciplined landless peasant households, mixed with many former soldiers, who are scattered and cannot be managed, and they are afraid of chaos when they get together. And the cold winter is coming, I have to prepare houses, food, and clothing for them for the winter, where will this cost come from?

Yes Xun said that the front line reported that a lot of supplies were also taken back, and a part of it could be sent out to you, so that the "immigrants" could survive the winter. As for how to settle the people, "How should we deal with the exile of our people in the previous sentence?" ”

Dong Meng said that the Chinese were taken captive to Goguryeo, and most of them were assigned to the Hao tribes as slaves - Goguryeo was still a slave society, and the Hao tribes were very powerful, and there were a lot of slaves - but the Liaodong region destroyed the Gongsun clan after you destroyed it. I have also tried hard to suppress it over the years, and there are not so many big families who can eat 30,000 slaves and maids. Besides, if you really want to feed them all, the power will re-expand, and I won't be easy to manage, right?

If they all become official slaves, it's still the question I just mentioned. It's hard for me to manage it separately, and I'm afraid that something will happen together.

It was Xun who groaned and said that I had made up my mind, and I would make arrangements when the army returned.

A few days later, winter began, and then the first snow of the winter fell, and the countryside was white. It was Xun Xin who said that it was dangerous, and if the front-line generals were reckless, they would stay for a few more days. I'm afraid it's going to be hard to turn back.

After another ten days, all the soldiers and horses returned to Xiangping City one after another—of course, the sailors were still staying at Pingguo Port, but Wei Yan and other generals rushed over. It was a great banquet for the generals, asking about the battle situation, and at the same time reporting to the imperial court. After the banquet, he specially found Deng Ai and Shi Bao and asked them about their first time in battle. But what do you know?

Deng Ai blushed and stammered: "Enter, enter the enemy's country." Falling into its capital, it should have been rejoicing, but when it saw the corpses in ambush, Ying, Yingye, and the people dying, it was inevitable that they could not bear it - they were also people, but they knew what the sage said, 'No, use it as a last resort'. There is a good thing. ”

Shi Xun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that Deng Shizai in the original history was not so compassionate, right? Did I teach him to be stupid, or did I wait until I went into battle again and saw enough blood before I became less soft-hearted?

didn't pick up Deng Ai's words at the moment. But asked: "Is Juli convinced?" ”

Shi Bud said how could they possibly take it? Although the capital was destroyed this time, General Cao swept away the city of Susheng Bone again, but he really did not take much land -- only a few border lines were slightly pushed forward, and the sum of them was not enough for half a county -- although the enemy suffered a heavy defeat, its strength was not greatly damaged, and perhaps it would come back to harass in a few years.

It was Xun Xin who said that Liu Yi had not reported yet, and he didn't know how he was fighting south of Mazishui. However, it is estimated that the results will not be too good, one heard that before the palace left Marudu Mountain, he sent a lot of soldiers and horses to the south of the Yangtze River, sticking to the villages, in case the Lelang soldiers took advantage of the fire to rob, and the other was that if he got a lot, it is estimated that Liu Zi had already sent someone to express his merits. Therefore, this time it did deal a heavy blow to Goguryeo, but it was not to the point of hurting its tendons and moving its bones.

Listen to Deng Ai add again: "Ai, Ai, Ai thinks, Juli will send envoys, thank you, apologize and be a minister, no, but if you want to perfunctory me, Taiwei must not be careful...... Not audible. Although it cannot be extinguished today, it may be peaceful to be levied again tomorrow and tomorrow. ”

Shixun nodded and said You guessed right, Goguryeo's Pei Zhede came to Xiangping City a few days ago, but I wanted to meet the general of the expedition first and listen to the specific report, so I haven't been willing to see him yet. After saying this, the words suddenly changed: "There are no less than 30,000 Goguryeo people captive today, and Liaodong doesn't know how to settle them, what do you think?" ”

Deng Ai frowned, and immediately understood the intention of Shi Xun to summon his little brother and son: "When Tun is also, Ai and the others please control it for the imperial court." ”

As Dong Meng worried, it is difficult to manage those Goguryeo people separately, and they really want to be together, and they are afraid of chaos, but fortunately, there is a practice in the imperial court, just like cleaning up the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans back then, you can Tuntian, military control. Deng Ai and Shi Bao were originally from Tuntian officials, and it was really appropriate to send the two of them to take charge of this matter.

Shi Xun couldn't help but bow his head, and said in his heart that although Deng Shizai's tongue was not very smooth, his brain turned really fast, and then he asked, can you really handle this matter? What is the need for no? Shi Bao was a little unconfident: "Thirty thousand people, the first to receive its tun, Liaodong has no big gaps, but must be divided into many places...... Let's go to Shaoli, divided into thirty tuns, each tun is a thousand people, at least hundreds of soldiers are needed to take care of it, adding up to three thousand Wei troops, I don't know if the county or the state, can we allocate so many soldiers and horses? If it is less than this number, I am afraid that the people of Goguryeo will be uncertain, and when the time comes, it will be troublesome to rebel.

Yes Xun said, I will leave a part of the soldiers and horses to assist you in building cantonments and settling down people, but at most it will be left until the beginning of spring next year, and it is impossible to station 3,000 troops in Liaodong for a long time, and it is impossible to allocate 3,000 foot soldiers from the county to give you command for a long time-"However, I have a plan, or the heart of the Anguryeo people, how to handle it in the Qing and others." ”

Deng Ai and Shi Bao sincerely ask. Shi Xun said: "They are all fools, and they have no thoughts of a home and country, but the fields are taken by me, and the relatives are killed by me, and the tombs of their ancestors are abandoned." went to a foreign land, thinking that it was resentful. There is no way to resurrect those who have been killed, but the fields can still be returned, and the graves can be swept away......"

You go and advertise to those Goguryeo people like this, our Great Wei Wangshi is not just a handful, and we are not robbers. Sooner or later, Goguryeo will have to be cut down again, as long as the land of Goguryeo is turned into Wei soil, then they will all be able to go home to cultivate their homeland and sweep the tombs of their ancestors. ”

Deng Ai and Shi Bao couldn't help but look at each other, saying that your idea is really good. It can not only reassure those who surrender to a certain extent, but also cultivate the war and train one more army...... The problem is that I am afraid that I will not be able to really win his heart, but will raise a rebellious army to come out. Let the Goguryeo people fight the Goguryeo Kingdom, what should they do if they turn against each other?

Shi Xun smiled slightly: "Why does he love the palace?" After a pause, he said: "If there is a person who really loves the palace, the Qing and others can be selected first, and they can be arrested and killed." "The vast majority of Goguryeo peasants didn't love their king that much, did they?" I've heard it. Most of them are subordinate farmers and work as servants for wealthy families. Food and clothing are not yet comprehensive, why love the country? "I'll teach you a way to divide those who descend into three, six, nine, and so on according to their class composition. For the people at the bottom, it is necessary to explain to them that the Goguryeo system is unfair, the palace is dominant, and the wealthy families are wreaking havoc below. That's why it is difficult for the people to provide food and clothing, and they are full of complaints. My Chinese system is much stronger, so instead of being a Goguryeo slave, it is better to be a Chinese people.

"The captives are all from the villages. There will be those who are caught by the wealthy or their lackeys who will also ...... "I will teach you a magic weapon called the "Grievance Meeting", which is used to incite the dissatisfaction of the people at the bottom of Goguryeo against the wealthy families and officials, and to behead those who are from wealthy families or who are tigers in front of the people at the bottom -- and even let them kill people with their own hands. In this way, the hearts of the majority of people can be retracted to a certain extent.

"How could Chen Shi and Wu Guang hate Ying Qin Ye? The tyranny of the hated Qin, and the dominance of his officials. So the rod was revealed, and the world was in turmoil. He is just a Kanto farmer, isn't it as good as his generation? ”

Shi Bao was still groaning, but Deng Ai quickly understood Shi Xun's intentions, and hurriedly gave up his hand: "This is really a wonderful strategy, Ai and the others must obey it." "Yes Xun said that there is no need to "Rin", I only provide an idea, and you have to rely on your own exploration of what to do, and besides-"Make sure that they wear Chinese clothes and speak Chinese dialect, and follow Chinese customs, and after a long time, they can go to the barbarian heart and return to the king." "You little brothers and sons go back and discuss it carefully, and get me a specific plan.

After Deng Ai and Shi Bao retired, Shi Xun called his son Shi Fu again, and asked him in detail about what he saw, heard, and thought on the way. Then the next morning, he finally called Pei Zhilai, who was under house arrest, to the front of him.

As soon as we met, I was greeted with a great gift, and I was prepared to say that the king was rebellious, and now my king has repented, and specially sent me to apologize and call my ministers, and his words were sincere, almost crying and exchanging. Shi Xun synthesized the information from various channels, and now he already knows what kind of person this person is in front of him - one, this is a virtuous minister, especially good at governance; Second, this is a pro-China faction that has always advocated deference to China. But he didn't pretend to be honest because of this, but always kept a straight face, and when he finally finished speaking, he pouted:

"Juli entered my territory in vain and killed and plundered the people, which was the old king's master. Now that the cloud apologizes for its sins, does it have the heart of repentance? Stop a messenger to come, no baht tribute, how can you see its sincerity? "Who wouldn't say empty words? You say that your king has confessed his sins, but what about the attitude of confession? Why is there no representation?

It can be said that the villain came to affirm our country's intention to admit its crimes, and as for what compensation the Celestial Empire still needs, please ask the Taiwei to open Chrysostom and put forward conditions. Shi Xun smiled coldly and raised three fingers: "From my three things, I can speak for you as the Son of Heaven and receive the surrender of Gurye." ”

I have to be busy asking what are the three things? Shi Xun said: "First, the palace has entered Luoyang to ask for guilt; second, to the south of the horse water to offer our dynasty; Third, the mountain castle of Marudu was destroyed and moved to flat land. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but be shocked - I'm too cruel to rely on you, we can't do any of them! (To be continued......)
