Jiangjie City.

Since Wu Nian occupied the city, the city gate has never been officially opened. The city was full of soldiers in armor and spears, and most of the people hid in their homes, afraid to go out.

The city was full of slaughter, as if it was in a state of war.

The temporary Fuhan General's Mansion, that is, the original mansion.

Layers of personal soldiers, the government is strictly protected.

The guards were all solemn and tense, as if an assassin would appear at any moment.

Under the corridor, Zhang Zhen walked forward with two cups of tea. After entering the study, he bent down and put the tea cup on the table next to Wang Gui and Wu Nian, and then bent over Wu Nian and walked away with the empty plate.

Wu Nian and Wang Gui picked up the teacup, took a sip and put it down.

Wang Gui said: "General. According to intelligence, the Goguryeo naval forces stationed in Gangjie Province and Uiju Province burned down the camps and assembled in the north by boat. ”

"Expected. Now the situation of the war has changed. If the Goguryeo naval army does not assemble, it will be eaten by us one by one. ”

Wu Nian said calmly.

This time. The armies of Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, and Zhao Yanting successively controlled the entire Jiangjie Mansion and Yizhou Prefecture, but only in the city.

In the vast rural areas, there is currently a power vacuum.

Many fled south. Wu Nian had no way to stop it, the two provinces were located in the plains, and it would take a huge amount of strength to keep the population from escaping.

Besides, if troops are sent to search and suppress. It is different from the slogan before Wu Nian.

Although the army reached the enemy country, it was as if it were in its own country.

The army does not offend the people.

Now he closed the gates of Jiangjie City, not allowing anyone to enter or leave. That's the same thing.

He wanted to spend a little time and win over the local clans and squires. Let the big clans and squires feel their kindness and enhance their confidence in themselves.

This war. Wu Nian will win.

Follow Wu Niangan, and there will be rich returns.

As for ordinary people. Wu Nian believed that the people of Goguryeo did not have the same high sense of identity with Yan Han as the Han people in Liaodong now.

As long as he maintains the current military discipline, most people will not choose to run away.

At present, the work is mainly to consolidate the Gangjie and Uiju provinces that have been taken. Further military operations will require follow-up troops.

Wu Nian planned to put in seven infantry cadets.

After the two talked for a while, Zhang Zhen walked in from outside. He bowed down to Wu Nian and said, "General." Lord Lu is here. ”

"Yes, please."

Wu Nian's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand and said.

"Yes." Zhang Zhen answered, turned around and went down.

"General. I'll take my leave. Wang Gui stood up, bent down and saluted.

"Hmm." Wu Nian nodded.

Wang Gui turned around and walked out of the hall, just in time to meet Lu Sheng, the former prefect of Guangchuan, and others, and the two sides bowed their hands.

After Lu Sheng led everyone in, he saluted Wu Nian and said, "General." ”

"Sit down." Wu Nian nodded and invited everyone to sit down. asked Zhang Zhen to remove the original tea cup and make new tea.

Wu Nian looked up at Lu Sheng and the others, and nodded with satisfaction. Until then, he has ample preparation.

After the Battle of Guangyang, Li Jinzhu's position was unstable, and he purged a large number of political enemies in the country. Some fled to Liaodong.

Wu Nian asked Lu Sheng to organize these people, and secretly selected a group of Han officials to form a temporary power structure.

It's called [Fuhan General Goguryeo Beppu].

Before the war was launched, Lü Sheng had always been the prefect of Guangchuan. After the war started, Lü Sheng immediately stepped down and rushed to Goguryeo.

Wu Nian had a secret conversation with Lu Sheng. Now this authority is called [Fuhan General Goguryeo Beppu], but in fact it is called [Governor of Youyan].

on the kernel.

Wu Nian has regarded Goguryeo as a thing in his bag, and set up the governor of Youyan, under the jurisdiction of Lelang Mansion, Lintun Mansion, Zhenfan Mansion, and Xuansu Mansion.

But on the surface, Wu Nian has not publicly stated his position.

In the end, he wanted to destroy Goguryeo.

Or only take revenge with one arrow, oust Li Jinzhu from power, and support another Goguryeo king.

This can, to a certain extent, eliminate the resistance of the Goguryeo people.

After all.

Goguryeo has existed for many years.

In the eyes of many, the elimination of Goguryeo would be at a great cost. It is better to support the pro-Liaodong Goguryeo king, which is simple and easy.

If Goguryeo is destroyed, it will be a disaster for the destruction of the country.

If it is to support the pro-Liaodong Goguryeo king, it is a power struggle.

The nature is completely different.

"It's urgent, I'll just say it."

"I took control of all the cities, and I also recruited a group of former Goguryeo officials who were willing to follow me. You unite these officials. Stabilize the big clan and the squire. Stretch your hand out into the countryside. ”

"Let Jiangjie and Yiju resume production as soon as possible."

Wu Nian did not greet each other, and went straight to the road.

Lu Sheng and the others learned about the current situation on the road and discussed it privately.

The others looked at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng raised his hand and reported to Wu Nianyu: "General." We thought that it would not work to rely solely on Huairou to stabilize the clans and squires. ”

"It takes a combination of grace and power."

"Oh. How can you give grace and power together? Wu Nian became interested and looked up and asked.

"First of all. The squires and clans are the foundation of Goguryeo. They read the books of the sages, and many were loyal to the Kim dynasty. Forcing them to stay, nothing good. On the contrary, it will cause unnecessary trouble when we defend the city. ”

Lu Sheng raised his head and showed a meaningful expression to Wu Nian.

Wu Nian immediately remembered the heroes who had helped him a lot in his own siege of the city. For example, Cheng Yulian, the prefect of Guangyang.

Seeing that Wu Nian had already understood, Lu Sheng continued to say, "General." On the one hand, Huai Rou them, on the other hand, allow the diehard loyalists of the Jin Dynasty to leave with their families and a small amount of gold and silver. ”

"But I have to leave behind a house slave, a huge asset."

"And, of course, the vast lands controlled by the clans and squires."

"So they fled to the south, and it didn't make much difference."

"We turned the house slaves they left behind into civilians. Huge assets, directly confiscated. The land was distributed to the former Goguryeo officials who were willing to follow us and buy people's hearts. ”

"In a nutshell. It is to pull a group of people and beat a group of people. ”

"Follow us. Retention of property, land. It can also share the profits. If you don't follow us, you'll have nothing. ”

Wu Nian pondered for a long time when he heard this, before he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Seeing that his opinion had been adopted, Lu Sheng was very encouraged and continued: "General. In the last battle of Gwangyangfu, we captured 20,000 or 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers. ”

"Now these soldiers have achieved great results in learning Chinese."

The Goguryeo side, on the other hand, always believed that these soldiers had died in battle. We selected some of the captives from Yiju and Jiangjie to come back. ”

"The people who thought that their sons and husbands had died in Liaodong would rejoice. will strengthen the identification with us. ”

Wu Nian readily agreed: "Okay." ”

At the beginning, he arranged for these Goguryeo captives to be militarized and managed, and learned the official dialect and script of the Chu State. Later, financial difficulties also withstood the pressure.

Feed these people.

Now it's bittersweet. These people are proficient in Goguryeo, Chinese. Coupled with the follow-up policies, combined with the Goguryeo elite, they were basically proficient in Chinese and Goguryeo.

Slowly wipe out the original writing and language of Goguryeo.

Of course. These follow-up policies could only be implemented by conquering the entire territory of Goguryeo.

After all. Now his attitude is ambiguous between supporting the pro-Liaodong Goguryeo king and eliminating Goguryeo.
