Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are some stubborn and ignorant people, who intend to fight against the power of heaven and disobey the will of the general, and will inflict thunderous wrath on these people, completely destroy them, and thus shock the world.

According to the information provided by General Zilong, three of the large tribes with more than 100,000 troops have been transformed from ordinary mountain and forest tribes into separatist warlords, occupying cities and common people. For this kind of force, please send soldiers and soldiers to completely eradicate it! This is called Xing Zhiwei! ”

Xi Zhicai picked up the cup and took a sip lightly, and continued: "As for the third point, grasping the big and letting go of the small, this is simple. Many small tribes have less than 5,000 troops and live in steep mountains and forests, so it is not easy to send troops to clear them. Grace be shown to such people and lure them down the mountain. If there is really a rebellious move, you can send the leader of the Shadow Cloak Secret Warrior to eradicate it, warn and punish it, and under the two-pronged approach, it is estimated that no tribe will continue to eat the ancients. ”

"As for the barbarian Yuman, this is the last resort, and it needs to be used when all the above three methods fail. Far from being monolithic, many of the tribes within Goguryeo had blood feuds. Even if we don't provoke it, they will attack each other. The general is entirely capable of using his means to divide and disintegrate them.

Use food, cloth, salt, sugar, tea, and even weapons and armor as bait to lure them into attacking each other and encourage them to plunder hostile populations. In this way, within a year and a half, the Goguryeo natives who resisted the general's rule would inevitably disappear. It's just that this plan is against the peace of heaven, and the general is asked to use it with caution! ”

"This is a very good plan for the military advisor, who of the generals is willing to stay and preside over the military affairs of Goguryeo and rectify the order of Goguryeo?" Shang Ji listened to what Xi Zhicai said, pondered for a moment, and nodded decisively and asked.

"My lord, if my lord doesn't give up, I am willing to take on this responsibility!" Before Shang Ji's words fell, Ge Zhen immediately jumped to the test.

Ge Zhen and Xu Huang came to defect together, and Xu Huang has become famous because of the previous war and has become a dazzling rising star of the Pingzhou Army. Although Ge Zhen also has meritorious deeds, he is much worse than Xu Huang, but now that he has the opportunity, he is a little impatient.

"Since Bofu (Ge Zhenzi) has this intention, then Bofu serves as the guard of Goguryeo, and Feng Yu commands 500,000 servant troops in Goguryeo, and knows a lot about the internal situation in Goguryeo, so he takes Feng Yu as his deputy. I hope that the two of you can live up to the trust of the general, and pacify Goguryeo as soon as possible according to the strategy set by the military advisor. Later, I will ask Hongzhu to send a civil governor to assist you two, and after three months, Ben will write to the imperial court and withdraw the country and establish a county!" ”

"The last general will smear his liver and brain, and live up to the trust of the lord!" Ge Zhen and Feng Yu shouted in unison.

"Well, in the newly annexed land of Goguryeo, for the sake of safety, Ben will leave you with an army of one million, plus half a million servants, for a total of one and a half million troops. Bofu, do you think this number is enough? ”

"Enough, enough! Totally enough! Ge Zhen nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, in addition to purging Goguryeo, you also need to pay attention to the movements in the direction of the Dragon's Throat Canyon. Once there is a change in the Dragon's Throat Canyon, immediately lead the army to support. Remember, with Dragon's Throat Canyon as the first priority, even if Goguryeo rebels break out, you have to keep Dragon's Throat Canyon, understand? ”

"The last general understands that Dongyi wants to break through the Dragon's Throat Canyon unless he steps on the corpse of the last general!"

"Ben will trust Bosuke!" Shang Ji glanced at Ge Zhen deeply, nodded, and suddenly said, "Feng Yu." ”

"The last general!" Feng Yu was excited, and hurriedly responded.

"Assist General Bofu with your heart, your performance is good this time, I see it in my eyes, continue to maintain it."

"Ten thousand deaths!"

Feng Yu's eyes suddenly turned red, his whole body trembled, and he yelled excitedly.

"Well, pay attention to the Goguryeo servant army under your command, after I leave, I will give priority to rectifying this group of servant army, and I will draw a group of meritorious people from the Pingzhou army to join in, and use them as the backbone to rectify this army. I hope that in three months, not only will Goguryeo become a county of Pingzhou, but these 500,000 soldiers will also become qualified Pingju guards! ”

"Yes! It will live up to the trust of the Lord! ”

"Do you have any questions?"

Looking around at everyone, Shang Ji said loudly.

After hesitating for a moment, Ge Zhen took a step forward and asked in a low voice, "Lord, that Gao Baqi ......"

"Gobaqi is the king of Dongchuan of Goguryeo, and will always be the king of Dongchuan of Goguryeo." Glancing at Ge Zhen, Shang Ji said lightly.

"The last general understands that General Gao Baqi has always been the king of Dongchuan in Goguryeo!"

On the word "always", Ge Zhen also deliberately accentuated it, obviously he understood Shang Ji's true intentions.

Goguryeo will be turned into a county in Pyeongju three months later, so what is the use of the king of Dongchuan in Goguryeo? Goguryeo is gone, and this so-called King of Goguryeo and Dongchuan will naturally be "gone".

"All the generals have worked hard, let's go down and rest first. The whole army repaired for a day, and the day after tomorrow morning, all except for the left-behind troops returned to Pingzhou, and all the troops returned to their original places, and the generals who did not have the quota for the task of the captain and above returned to Xiangping to be rewarded! ”

"The last general obeys!"

When everyone heard this, their spirits were shocked, and they had waited for so long, wasn't it just for this sentence!

Soon, everyone said goodbye and left, only Shang Ji and a few personal guards were left in the hall, Shang Ji thought for a while, and instructed the guards: "Give the order to don't drive, let Xiangping prepare to meet the triumphant army." ”

Theoretically, this was the first time in the history of Pingzhou to expand its territory, and although there had been a record of expelling the eastern Xianbei to the west for thousands of miles, there was no effective rule there. This time it was different, Goguryeo was not weaker than Liaodong in terms of population and territory, and it was a large county with a pivotal role in the Pyeongju system.

In terms of area alone, the inclusion of Goguryeo in the management system of Pyeongju directly expanded the area of the entire Pyeongju by nearly doubling. Of course, the uninhabited wilderness takes up most of the area, and the core area of real value is not vast.

But it is also a victory that can be written into history, and it is worth celebrating.

In addition, the three giant cities of Goguryeo, Nakba, and Marudu are even more valuable. Before that, there were only five giant cities in the entire Pingju, and the conquest of Goguryeo increased the number of giant cities to eight in one fell swoop!

Although these three giant cities are all super parallel giant cities, its existing framework is no longer a simple money can be measured, invest enough manpower and material resources to build these three giant cities completely, and the overall strength of Pingzhou will be qualitatively improved!

In short, this big battle can be said to be a brilliant victory, and it is completely worthy of celebration with great fanfare.

Time passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye it was already the third day, and after two days of repair, the army had returned to state.

Under the collective farewell of Ge Zhen Feng Yu and other left-behind generals, Shang Ji took the Pingzhou army and embarked on the way back. It is worth mentioning that Gao Baqi was also in the farewell team, I don't know if he didn't realize the danger or deliberately forbearance, Gao Baqi was grateful, and sent the Heavenly Empire soldiers out of the country with a handful of snot and tears.

even reprimanded Gao Yanyou in the prisoner car with great righteousness, and repeatedly emphasized that he was loyal to the Han Dynasty and the Pingzhou Mu. Do your best to screen the Han Dynasty and deter Dongyi.

Regardless of whether Gao Baqi is really stupid or wise, he can't make any waves. The tripartite forces of Yingyi Miwu, Qianhuan, and the spies sent by Gezhen were monitoring him, and millions of Pingzhou troops were staring at Goguryeo, and he had completely lost all possibilities for a turnaround.

Gao Baqi is not a powerful person, he was turned into a dog by Gao Yanyou three months ago, and Gao Yanyou is still in the prison car!

Fake comfort and persuasion soothed Gao Baqi, and Shang Ji gave Ge Zhen a vague look. Ge Zhen immediately understood, glanced at Gao Baqi, and nodded slightly.

The army went smoothly and returned to Pingzhou without any danger. Along the way, the size of the army continued to decrease, and the guards in Lelang, Xuansu and other places were separated and rebuilt, and only more than 400,000 soldiers remained in Pingzhou.

In order to ensure that Gezhen could successfully suppress Goguryeo, 300,000 of the one million troops left by Shang Ji were war troops. Another 200,000 soldiers remained in the Dragon's Throat Gorge, and after adding the battle losses over such a long time, only more than 400,000 of the 1.1 million troops who went out to fight have returned to Xiangping.

Deng Yan and a group of high-ranking civil and military officers who stayed behind also went out of the city for a hundred miles to welcome the triumphant return of the army and welcome the return of the Shang Ji campaign.

"Barbarian and unrighteous, the puppet king Gao Yanyou killed his brother and usurped the throne and led the beast to eat people, and the lord attacked him with righteousness, defeated the general, and captured the puppet king alive. It also attacked the thieves outside, so that the king bowed his head and raised the prestige of the country outside the territory, the people of the country were excited, and the family and the country were happy. Congratulations to the Lord! ”

Deng Yan was wearing a silk robe, wearing a long crown, wearing a scarf, and a gentleman's sword tied around his waist, and bowed to Shang Ji from afar.

"I'm waiting for the Lord's congratulations!" Xiangping Wenwu, who was dressed up behind Deng Yan, also bowed down at the same time.

"Hongzhu and all the monarchs have worked hard, and with the monarchs sitting in Xiangping, the generals can rest assured that they will fight outside!" Shang Ji dismounted, picked up Deng Yan, and said loudly.

"Serving the Lord, this is the duty of the minister!"

"Thin wine has been prepared, please enter the camp and go to the fatigue of the soldiers!"

"Okay, pass on my military order, the whole army will unload their armor and enter the camp to eat and drink!"

"Thank you, lord!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and the soldiers who went out to fight went to the predetermined area under the guidance of the small officials. Preparing the feast of 400,000 troops at a time is not a small project.

It is also thanks to the abundant material reserves and manpower in Xiangping City, coupled with Deng Yan's good scheduling, which ensured the smooth progress of this super-large banquet.

It was not yet noon when the army arrived at Xiangping City, but it was almost sunset when the feast was over, and it lasted for an afternoon.

The chefs of the various liquor stores in Xiangping City were all requisitioned to ensure that there was enough food to enjoy. Although the price of most of the wine and meat is not very high, it can't stand the large number base! For this feast, a full one million gold was spent, with an average of 2.5 gold per person, which is equivalent to directly eating half a month's military salary for the army!
