Chapter 463: The Two Countries in the South Are Not Honest

This is a very beautiful victory in itself, and we are about to report to Chang'an City, but suddenly we are thrown a big problem, if these more than a million people can't eat, they may be hungry for one or two meals, but after a long time, these people may rebel, how did they live when we didn't come?

"Back to the general's words, we have also investigated this matter, most people also eat grass roots and bark, and their daily consumption is extremely limited, and we don't need to give them too much food, just let them eat a little every day, about ten people can consume the amount of one of our soldiers."

Hearing the answer of his quartermaster, Li Xiang also breathed a sigh of relief, you must know that this is more than a million people, even if the supply to them is a little worse, it is by no means a small number, now if only one-tenth of the food is needed, then many things are easier to say.

"If you let them be idle, there will be all kinds of things every day, so that they will be busy, and another 400,000 people will be sent to Jiangbei."

Li Xiang thought for a while and said, if the people in the prisoner of war camp have something, then they have less time to think independently every day, but if you don't arrange work for them, then these people may think about freedom and rebellion every day, so Li Xiang has to keep them busy.

The normal seeds have passed the time for sowing this season, but Li Xiang's seeds are exchanged from the system, so there will be a harvest if they are planted at this time, and there will be a harvest after three months, as for the time of these three months, they can only let them eat gruel every day.

The population of Goguryeo Jiangnan is a bit large, but there is a lot of land in Jiangbei, so Li Xiang has to reconcile it, transport all these hundreds of thousands of people to Jiangbei, and let them go to the local area to reclaim, even if you all die there, as long as you can exchange a granary for Datang, it is also worth it, and Lao Tzu is not afraid of any infamy.

"It's cold in the north now, if you send them over, then you have to equip them with some cotton clothes, then the money is ......."

Su Dingfang said with some distress, our soldiers are wearing a lot of cotton clothes, but if these Goguryeo people are also equipped, isn't this a bit too much? You must know that many ordinary people in Datang do not have cotton clothes.

"You have to invest when you need to invest, otherwise what will you gain in the future? Some of our soldiers are going to continue to go south, what are they wearing in this cotton coat for? Go south and sweat? In addition, it should not be difficult to search the surrounding villages, where millions of people live, and find out the clothes worn by 400,000 people, so we should lend them first, and then pay us back when the food they grow comes out. ”

Li Xiang's words made everyone nod, Li Xiang's method is okay, we don't drive all the people over, just drive a part of it, and a part of it is out of several places, and these people's warm clothes will be solved.

After the past, we will also give them basic living guarantees, of course, it also depends on their ability to complete the task, if there is nothing reclaimed after the past, then you will freeze to death in the ice and snow, this world is the world of the jungle, and there are not so many human rights at all.

After arranging these things, the generals in the tent went out to work, although it is relatively simple to say, but it is enough for these generals to be busy for several days, and even several days may not be enough.

"What is the General thinking?"

When Li Xiang turned around, he found that General Li Jing was staring at the map in a daze.

"Your Highness, come and see, we are in this position now, the remaining land of Goguryeo is less than three hundred miles deep from north to south, not to mention the army, in the next battle, I think there may be a bitter battle."

General Li Jing frowned and said, we came from Jiangbei and caught Goguryeo by surprise, coupled with Gaiyuan Suwen's policy mistakes on the front line, this made us have the harvest we have now, if we continue to advance south, there may be a bitter battle, because the land of Goguryeo has shrunk, and a large number of people are gathered in this land, so we may have to face many Goguryeo soldiers and residents every time we take a step forward.

"The general is right, even if only some of them resist, it is not a small number for us, from the launch of the attack to the present, our casualties can be said to be minimal, but in the next battle, maybe our casualties will rise."

Li Xiang is the most reluctant to let his troops have casualties, but it is impossible to fight a war without casualties, even in the 21st century, all countries pay attention to a zero casualty, but in real combat, no matter how advanced your technology is, you can only minimize casualties, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve zero casualties.

"Then you think it's okay to do that? Originally, this area could only accommodate more than a million people, but now it can accommodate more than four million people, and they have no food, so should we postpone the attack and seal the northern line, and at the same time write to Silla and Baekje, asking them to also seal the southern defense line and trap these people. ”

General Li Jing thought for a while and said, although they all pay attention to a quick battle, but judging from the current situation, if it is really a quick battle, then the losses of the Tang army will definitely not be a small number, if we besiege for a month or two, the internal struggle may arise, and then we may not be able to occupy this place without blowing our strength.

"The general is right, this is also a good way, we can block the northern defense line, but can Silla and Baekje listen to us? Both countries don't have many populations, and this is a good opportunity to increase the population. ”

Li Xiang said with some doubts, the two countries have expressed their willingness to become vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, but in the operation of these things, I am afraid that it may not be obedient, now population is the most important resource, the reason why Goguryeo can dominate the peninsula is because its population far exceeds the other two countries.

Now that Goguryeo has collapsed, and the other two countries have to take advantage of this catastrophe, absorbing Goguryeo people is the most important channel.
