Chapter 590 Goguryeo Pacification
After negotiating some cooperation details with Yanhuang Liren, Yanhuang Liren left. Shang Ji also took advantage of the opportunity to send invitations, inviting Yanhuang to participate in the grand ceremony for the canonization of the gods and beasts of the town in half a month.
Yanhuang Liren readily accepted and said that he would definitely come to watch the ceremony when the time came.
After seeing off Yanhuang Sharpen, before Shang Ji had time to rest, Chen Guan hurried over.
"Bai Shou looks happy, but do you have any good news to tell me?" Seeing Chen Guan's excited expression, Shang Ji couldn't help joking.
"My lord is predicting things like a god, there is indeed a happy event!"
Chen Guan first bowed his hands and saluted, then said with a smile on his face.
"Tell me, what kind of happy event is it? Recently, there are many blessings and blessings in the sky, and good things happen again and again. If your good things are too small, you won't be able to take them out!"
"It's not small, it's not small. Although it's not as good as the god of sparrows, it's not too small! Just now, there was a report from Goguryeo, and Goguryeo Dongchuan Wang Gao Baqi met a fake The remnants of Wang Gaoyanyou ambushed and attacked, and unfortunately King Dongchuan died on the spot!"
"Oh? Gao Baqi is dead? Does this mean that Hakufu has cleaned up Goguryeo?"
Gao Baqi was ambushed and attacked by the remnants of Gao Yanyou, and died on the spot? This is simply a joke!
At present, the elite troops sent by Pingzhou are responsible for protecting Gao Baqi. If the remnants of Gao Yanyou had this ability, how could Goguryeo be reduced to such a state?
There is only one possibility for Gao Baqi's death, and that is that Ge Zhen, who is the general in charge of Goguryeo, wants him to die!
When Shang Ji left Goguryeo, he gave a hint that he would directly find a chance to kill Gaobaqi after he pacified Goguryeo. Now that Gao Baqi is dead, it also means that Gezhen has almost dealt with Goguryeo.
"My lord Shengming. General Ge reported that Goguryeo has basically been pacified, and it is useless to keep Gao Baqi, so an 'accident' was arranged."
"Bofu is very efficient! It took less than two months to finish Goguryeo. I expected it to be three months!" Shang Ji said with a smile.
"Those Goguryeo mountain people's heads are hard, but no matter how hard their heads are, they can't be as hard as the sword in General Ge's hand! With an elite army of 1.5 million, and the four strategies proposed by the military adviser, isn't it easy to stabilize Goguryeo?"
Chen Guan also replied with a smile.
Gezhen has not been idle for the past two months, and it can even be said that during this period of time, the number of people who died in Goguryeo every day was even higher than when the Goguryeo War broke out!
Goguryeo is composed of hundreds of tribes, large and small, some of which are powerful. For example, the Dubo tribe to which Du Boqing belongs has broken away from the tribal situation and has gradually grown into a powerful family similar to the Han Dynasty.
This kind of tribe must be resolutely eradicated.
In the first half month, Gezhen's troops divided into three groups, and went non-stop to wipe out various powerful tribes, large and small, and wiped out eleven Goguryeo tribes that were inclined to powerful families.
During this period, the other Goguryeo tribes stood still, and even offered some convenience to Gezhen with the idea of stepping on the corpses of the eleven big tribes to rise to power.
Then, these tribes regret it!
After solving the biggest threat, Gezhen turned his attention to these small and medium-sized tribes.
Directly adopt the four strategies of Pingdi proposed by Xi Zhicai. Except for the fourth strategy as the last resort, the other three strategies are simultaneously implemented and multi-pronged.
On the one hand, it is the suffocating threat of force, on the other hand, it is to go down the mountain to live a stable life. There is no need to hesitate at all, a large number of tribal mountain people go down the mountain to naturalize every day.
Some tribal leaders tried to prevent the mountain people from descending the mountain for personal power, and then they were secretly assassinated by Yingyi Miwu. At least twenty tribal chiefs died in the hands of Yingyi Miwu!
In some tribes, there were serious divisions. The downhill faction and the diehard faction confronted each other, and armed conflicts even broke out directly.
And every time the downhill faction will win the struggle with the support of Ge Zhen.
In one month, a total of 10 million people walked out of the mountains and descended to accept the rule of Pingzhou.
This is beyond the expectations of Ge Zhen and Shang Ji.
I thought that the entire Goguryeo had a population of 40 million, but who knew there were still 10 million people hidden in the vast mountains.
Before that, Shang Ji also urgently dispatched a large number of food reserves to assist Ge Zhen to appease the newly naturalized mountain people.
For them, Shang Ji has no prejudice, as long as he is willing to submit to the rule of Pingzhou, Shang Ji doesn't mind their identities.
It is said that there are too many such naturalized people in Pingzhou. Xianbei and Wuhuan were naturalized by Yanhuang Temple, and now they are all loyal subjects of Pingzhou, and there is not one more Goguryeo.
In short, after two months of non-stop fighting in Gezhen, the entire Goguryeo has been included in the jurisdiction system of Pingzhou, and the conditions for abolishing the country and building the county are ripe, and Gao Baqi, the king of Dongchuan, is more of an eyesore. Ge Zhen simply arranged for an accident and dealt with him happily.
"How is the situation in Goguryeo today? How has it reacted to the death of Gobaki?"
"Back to the lord, Goguryeo is still stable now, and Gao Baqi's death did not cause any disturbance. In addition, Gao Lingnan succeeded to the throne as Gao Baqi's cousin, but he immediately asked for an enclosing form, willing to donate soil and surrender." !"
Shang Ji laughed immediately when he heard the words: "This high-collared man knows the current affairs, if Gao Baqi had such awareness, he would have spared his life, what a pity!"
As the second son of Gao Yanqing, Gao Lingnan has a high reputation in Goguryeo. Gao Baqi's descendants were slaughtered after he was driven out of Goguryeo by Gao Yanyou, and Gao Yanyou's family was also cleaned up by Shang Ji. After Gao Baqi's death, it is really Gao Lingnan who has the most right to inherit.
When Anhu City was broken, Gao Lingnan led his army to surrender and commanded an army of 150,000 servants. Later, the army was forcibly taken over by Feng Yu, and Gao Lingnan realized that something was wrong.
This time Gao Baqi died, Gao Lingnan saw the crisis even more. The first thing to do after succeeding to the throne is to attach the requirements of the above table.
"Since the high-collared man is so knowledgeable, I will not go too far. I will submit a petition to the court and request that the high-collared man be conferred the title of Marquis of Guiyi. I will grant an additional manor, a thousand servants, and a fief of 100,000 mu. 200,000 gold, let him retire in Xiangping with peace of mind!"
Shang Ji's words completely determined Gao Lingnan's fate, and he could only retire in Xiangping under the name of Marquis Guiyi from now on. Although there is no need to worry about food and clothing, but don't think about power.
Of course, compared to his cousin who was inexplicably ambushed and killed, the high-collared man's ending is very good!
"The lord is benevolent, and the subordinate Guiyi Hou thanked the lord for his kindness. Presumably Gui Yihou will be grateful to Dade and die to repay the lord Hong En!"
Chen Guan who was next to him answered the sentence, and said it firmly.
As for whether the high-collared man will appreciate it, it doesn't matter. Thousands of servants are not simple servants. Once the high-collared man makes any changes, his head will appear in front of Shang Ji the next day!
