Although the Korean army played a small trick before the surrender and disgusted the generals of the Pingzhou army, the process of surrender was quite smooth.

The 500,000 Korean troops who were to come out and surrender as agreed to also leave the city one after another, and the bows, crossbows, horses, and large equipment that should be delivered to the Pyeongju army were also delivered on time.

In the end, the Korean army was left with less than 400,000 men, and rushed to the Dragon's Throat Gorge with simple equipment and seven days' rations.

It is worth mentioning that none of the prisoners left as prisoners were players, and the 500,000 captives were all aborigines, and they were still the ones with the lowest combat power in the Korean army.

Along with the Korean army, 300,000 Goguryeo troops surrendered, and Goguryeo monarchs and ministers such as Goyeon were also handed over to the Pyeongju army in their entirety by the Korean army.

Even the remaining millions of money and wealth with Gao Yanyou were all handed over to the Pingzhou Army.

The North Korean side dared to disgust the Pyongju army with such a thing as self-determination, but the terms of the agreement did not dare to violate it. Although Ling Cao's sailors stopped the attack, they are still cruising in North Korean waters. The naval fleet is the most powerful bargaining chip to ensure that the DPRK army strictly implements the agreement.

However, at this time, the city was also very miserable, the food in the city was almost exhausted, and the city walls were also beaten by the Pingzhou army. Although the Korean army did not deliberately sabotage, the offensive and defensive operations before and after the month also made the city bleak.

Coupled with Gao Yanyou's desperate fight before, a large number of civilians in the city were affected by the war, a large number of buildings were damaged, and displaced people were everywhere. The North Korean army obviously has no time to manage them, but this burden must be taken over by the Pingzhou army!

Zhang He took out a large amount of military rations to help the victims, and at the same time sent heavy troops into the city to defend and quickly restore order in the city. As for further people's livelihood and economic recovery, it is necessary to wait for full-time civil servants to deal with it.

The 400,000 Korean troops, who had only a few rations left, did not dare to delay any longer and retreated in the direction of the Dragon's Throat Gorge overnight. Finally arrived at Dragon's Throat Canyon the day before the rations ran out.

Shang Ji opened a passage, and all the Korean troops unloaded their armor and collected their troops, and slowly passed through the Longyu Gorge under the strict supervision of the Pingzhou army. It turned out that the Korean army besieging the Dragon's Throat Gorge had already retreated.

Now only a small number of troops are left east of the Dragon's Throat Gorge, escorting a large amount of grain to meet the retreating Korean army.

The Pingzhou Army in the Dragon's Throat Gorge also began to be transferred, with 400,000 troops at the time of departure, and now there are 310,000 left. During this period, about 700,000 Korean troops were wiped out. Of course, this is to take advantage of the Seven-Star Beidou Great Array, otherwise the casualty ratio will definitely not be so exaggerated, and the North Korean Army is indeed the strongest enemy that Shang Ji has encountered after entering the beacon fire.

Although the battle was not long, the intensity of the war was extremely high, and the Pingzhou army in Longyu Gorge needed to be transferred back for repair. However, the Dragon's Throat Canyon cannot be abandoned, and the repair is also repaired in batches, and the first batch of 100,000 troops are ready to return.

At the same time, Shang Ji gave Zhang He an order to send 100,000 troops in good condition to Longyu Gorge to replace the Pingzhou army.

According to Shang Ji's plan, the permanent strength of the Dragon's Throat Canyon was maintained at about 300,000. As long as the DPRK does not increase its troops, Shang Ji does not plan to increase its troops in the short term.

In addition, the forged city in Dragon's Throat Canyon is also imminent, and this city will not only be a military fortress to hold the border between China and North Korea, but also a capital of adventurers.

After a brief investigation, Shang Ji found that the Dragon's Throat Mountain Range was even richer than originally expected, and it also provided a way out for combat players who did not want to join the army, so as not to always cause trouble in the local area.

Presumably, many players who can't stand the bloodshed and cruelty of war will be more than happy to switch to traditional online game players, engaged in the task of exploring treasures and hunting monsters.

Dragon's Throat City will become a logistics base for adventurers, providing various logistics support for players who enter the Dragon's Throat Canyon to explore, and acquire adventurers' exploration income nearby.

In terms of development potential, Dragon's Throat City has infinite potential, and is even expected to become a top giant city.

And Xi Zhicai has recently been studying the solidification of the Big Dipper Array. As a military captain in Pingzhou, it is naturally impossible for him to stay in the Dragon Throat Canyon to preside over the Big Dipper Seven Star Array. However, the effect of this large array is indeed too good, and only a small number of troops can be used to defend the Korean army from the country.

According to Xi Zhicai's report, the research is progressing smoothly. He can make a diagram of the Big Dipper Array and give it to the army commander who guards the Dragon's Throat Grand Canyon. Although the effect of the formation will be reduced by a large number, and the change of the formation will be more rigid. However, the flaws are not hidden, and the Big Dipper Seven Star Array displayed with the formation map is still a strong defensive array.

The 300,000 Pingzhou army relied on the formation, as long as it withstood the first wave of attack by the North Korean army, and at that time, Shang Ji would naturally send reinforcements to support.

Ten days later, the army sent by Zhang He arrived at Longyu Gorge, along with 500,000 Korean prisoners of war. The 500,000 Korean prisoners of war, as well as the 200,000 Korean farmers they had captured before, would be the main labor force in the construction of Dragon's Throat.

Leaving Su Huan and Wang Shu in the Dragon's Throat Canyon, Shang Ji hurriedly returned with the rest of the army.

The disposition of Gao Yanyou, the pacification of Goguryeo's newly attached land, and the gains and losses of the Battle of the Ping Dynasty all needed to be handled by Shang Ji personally.

In addition, whether Goguryeo existed as a vassal state, or whether it was directly classified as a county in Pingju in one step, this matter had to be decided by Shangji.

Under the current situation, Shang Ji naturally could no longer stay in the Dragon's Throat Canyon.

First returned to the city, condoled the soldiers, announced the list of meritorious soldiers, and rewarded them, and then hurriedly summoned Zhang He and other major generals of the Goguryeo War to discuss how to deal with Goguryeo.

"My lord, in the foolish opinion of the last general, it is better to directly turn Goguryeo into a county of the Han Dynasty! Now that our army of more than 2 million people has gathered in Goguryeo, all the major cities of Goguryeo are under our control, and we already have the conditions to turn the country into a county. Although the establishment of a vassal state is simple, in the long run, there will be endless troubles, and the previous Liaodong vassal state is not a living example? ”

Zhang He, as the senior commander who participated in the entire war to destroy Goguryeo, first spoke to Shang Ji.

"Lord, what General Zhang said is very true, although the puppet king Gao Yanyou was captured, there are still many living members of the Gao royal family. In order to facilitate the conquest of Goguryeo, our army also organized and absorbed 500,000 Goguryeo servants. Now that there is a great army to suppress it, these servants are very respectful. But once the army retreats, it will definitely have two minds, it is better to strike while the iron is hot and directly turn Goguryeo into a county! ”

Feng Yu was in charge of 500,000 servant troops in Goguryeo, and it was also strongly recommended that Goguryeo be directly turned into a county.

"My lord, for the safety of the Dragon's Throat Canyon, Goguryeo must also be turned into a county! Otherwise, Dragon's Throat Canyon is an enclave, which is very detrimental to our defense! ”

Liu Yi, who has been to the Dragon's Throat Canyon, naturally knows the importance of the Dragon's Throat Canyon, and emphasizes the inevitability of turning the country into a county from the perspective of the Dragon's Throat Canyon.

Shang Ji thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Since all the generals think so, then turn Goguryeo into a county." However......" Shang Ji glanced at everyone, changed his painting style, and continued: "Let's talk about the difficulties in turning Goguryeo into a county!" ”

"My lord, the biggest obstacle to our rule over Goguryeo at present is the many tribes within Goguryeo!" As early as when Le Lang was the commander of the strategic reserves, Zhao Yun had carefully studied Goguryeo, and when he heard Shang Ji's question, he immediately got up and answered.

"There are more than 200 tribes in Goguryeo, large and small, and these tribes have more or less some clan soldiers, some of whom are two or three thousand, and many can even be as high as 100,000! In order to ensure the smooth conquest of Gao Yanyou, we adopted more means of wooing and appeasing these tribes, and also achieved good results, and most of them took a bystander attitude in the process of fighting with Gao Yanyou.

However, once we want to turn Goguryeo into a county, these people will become the biggest threat, how can the tribes with tens of thousands of troops at every turn be willing to obey the command of the county commander and the county guard? ”

After all, there are not many fools like Du Boqing, and most of the tribes in Goguryeo decisively chose to watch from the wall when the Pingzhou army came, and if they want to effectively rule Goguryeo, then these tribes can't get around.

"Lord, here is a list of some Goguryeo tribes that I have compiled, there may be some omissions, please take a look!" As he spoke, Zhao Yun presented a document to Shang Ji.

Shang Ji took a look, and the details recorded on it were the details of the various tribes in Goguryeo, including their troops, leaders, population, location, attitude towards the Pyeongju army, and the specific combat strength of the army.

According to Zhao Yun's statistics, there are thirteen tribes with more than 50,000 troops, forty-seven tribes with more than 10,000 and less than 50,000, and the rest are tribes with less than 10,000.

Added up in bits and pieces, there were still more than 3 million tribal armies in Goguryeo, and the total strength was even more than the number of Pyeongju troops currently in Goguryeo.

Of course, the combat power of these tribal alliances is not enough, a small number of elites can compete with the main force of the Pingzhou army, and the weak ones are on the same level as the rogue bandits.

Of course, most of the tribal coalition forces were about the same as the previous regular Goguryeo army, and for the Pyeongju army, they were the fish belly troops.

If the battle is open, the two million Pingzhou troops will easily beat them!

However, the problem that plagues Pingzhou is that these tribes generally do not live in cities, but choose their own places of residence in the mountains. This greatly increases the difficulty of the cleanup.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are your plans for the Goguryeo tribal army?" Shang Ji looked around at everyone and asked directly.

"Tempt it to profit, Xing Zhi to might, grasp the big and let go of the small, and resist the barbarian with brute!"

As soon as Shang Ji's words fell, Xi Zhicai coldly spit out sixteen big characters.

"Tell me more about it."

"As far as I know, most of the tribal armies in Goguryeo did not live in the mountains and forests voluntarily, but had to ask for food from the mountains because of the backward farming technology and the scarcity of land suitable for cultivation. I have peasant sons in Pingzhou, and agricultural technology is unique in the world, and it is completely possible to develop new technologies to lure tribal mountain people down the mountain to naturalize. With food to eat and clothes to wear, I don't think there are many cheap bones in the world who are willing to continue to starve and freeze in the mountains. This is a temptation to profit! ”
