Above the council hall, all the ministers saw that Cao Ang had already spoken, and they all closed their mouths.

After all, the scene where Cao Ang killed Xun Fang with a sword just now deeply shocked them.

If they don't know how to read words and emotions at this time, and they are still talking nonsense there, I am afraid that they will be the next to die.

At this time, Gao Yanyou didn't dare to speak, after all, the sword on Cao Ang's waist still smelled of blood.

Cao Ang saw that everyone didn't speak, so he said lightly to the ministers: "Okay, you all one by one, don't hold back, if you have any ideas, just say it." ”

However, those ministers all shook their heads at this, and none of them dared to touch Cao Ang's brow.

Seeing this, Cao Ang looked at Xun Yu.

After all, these ministers all chose to stand on Xun Yu's side.

Cao Ang saw that these ministers did not speak, so he could only look at their leader.

When Xun Yu saw Cao Ang looking at him, he chuckled and said, "Young General, if you have any ideas, just say it, after all, this matter started because of you, and we, outsiders, will not be involved." ”

When Cao Ang heard this, he laughed.

This Xun Yu's attitude of not caring about himself is exactly what he wants.

I saw Cao Ang chuckling and said, "Since Xun Lingjun has said so, then I'm not welcome." ”

Regarding how to deal with Goguryeo, in fact, Cao Ang had already taken the time to think about it.

It is nothing more than Goguryeo being a vassal to the Han Dynasty and paying tribute every year.

Then there is the king of Goguryeo, who must be recognized by the Han before he can officially ascend the throne, and he must master the official language of the Han Dynasty.

And this last point, that is, to popularize the official dialect of the Han Dynasty in the whole country of Goguryeo, so that Han culture will slowly become popular in the country.

In exchange, Dahan would release Goguryeo's captives and let those people follow Gao Yeonyou back.

Gao Yanyou accepts all of these conditions.

As long as he can bring back those elite soldiers under his command, then he can stabilize the slightly turbulent government in Goguryeo.

Soon, Gao Yanyou completed his mission, left Luoyang, and went to Liaodong with the edict to receive their Goguryeo captives.

When he came to Liaodong to receive the prisoners, he found that the prisoners seemed to have become fatter, and they didn't all look willing to go.

Gao Yanyou was surprised, so he asked a deputy general to inquire about the situation.

"The King." The lieutenant saluted Gao Yanyou respectfully.

Gao Yanyou waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, you still have to tell me, how have you spent these days when you were captured, how do I look at you, it seems that you are not very willing to leave?" ”

After the lieutenant general heard this question, he glanced at Gao Yanyou with some embarrassment and didn't dare to speak.

And Gao Yanyou waved his hand and said, "This king has forgiven you from your sins, but it doesn't hurt for you to say it." ”

The lieutenant general got Gao Yanyou's promise, and then he told everything that had happened in the days when they were prisoners in Liaodong.

"King, when we are prisoners here, we only need to do some farm work every day to have a full meal!"

"And every once in a while, you can drink a mouthful of broth!"

"If the work is heavy on a day, then each of us can eat a bite of meat."

"The most important thing is that the food they eat is made of pure white flour, which is very delicious."

"This kind of life will indeed make the brothers reluctant to go."

When Gao Yanyou heard this, he frowned.

Most of their territory in Goguryeo is hilly and mountainous, so their grain production there is also very low.

If you want to eat a bite of fine food, you can only enjoy it after becoming an official.

Moreover, except for Gao Yanyou and several other high-powered ministers, the rest of the people want to eat a bite of fine food, which is simply impossible.

And then there is this meat, they Goguryeo, only in their old days, the common people are willing to eat a bite of meat.

At other times, the people who herd cattle and sheep at home will only exchange these cattle and sheep for money and food.

After all, for them, meat is just a thing to satisfy their cravings.

If you want to survive, you still have to eat food.

Under this huge gap in life, these Goguryeo soldiers naturally didn't want to go back.

As a prisoner on the side of the Han, he only needs to work every day to eat enough.

But what about going back to Goguryeo?

They fought desperately to the death to be able to eat a full meal.

And this rice is not the same as rice.

This Goguryeo meal, compared to the Han side, is simply pig food.

In fact, on the Liaodong side, before it was withdrawn to the control of the imperial court, Cao Ang planned to let people get high-quality grain seeds.

After all, the land here in Liaodong is fertile enough, and the grain production must be considerable.

Under Cao Ang's secret operation, these high-quality grain seeds were sent to Liaodong and planted by the people there.

The three brothers of the Yuan family are fighting for territory in Liaodong, and they are making a lot of trouble, but the people there are innocent.

It is precisely because of this move, coupled with the fact that after Liaodong was recovered by Cao Ang, the imperial court also allocated some relief grain, and the grain reserves in Liaodong can be described as sufficient.

In addition, shortly after the Goguryeo captives were captured, it was the autumn harvest season, which was the time when the farming was busy, and the people had to eat better than usual.

After all, only when you have enough food can you have the strength to work.

However, those Goguryeo soldiers didn't know this, and they thought that the life of the Han people was so good.

In fact, even if it is not the busy farming season, the living standard of the Han people is definitely higher than that of the people of Goguryeo.

Don't look at the continuous wars in the later period of the Han Dynasty, but those princes all know that if they want to develop and strengthen their own strength, they need to recruit troops.

And what is needed to recruit troops and horses, one is money, and the second is food.

After all, the four words of soldiers, horses, money, and food are linked together and linked to marching and fighting.

The princes of all walks of life, while recruiting troops and horses, will vigorously develop agriculture to prepare grain and grass.

Therefore, during this period, as long as it is not a large-scale siege war, the remaining wars will actually not have much impact on ordinary people.

Those Goguryeo soldiers, even if they were reluctant, could only follow Gao Yanyou back to Goguryeo.

After dealing with the affairs of Goguryeo, everything Cao Ang had done before had come to an end.

Now, what he wants to do is to go south wholeheartedly, first conquer Zhang Xiu stationed in Nanyang, and then take the opportunity to enter Jingzhou, and then take the entire south! (End of chapter)
