Chapter 6 Assimilation

Taken Liaodong City?

True or fake?

Li Yuanai looked shocked.

In fact, he generally knew a little about the process of Li Shimin's conquest of Goguryeo.

But he never expected that it would be so soon.

How long has it been?

You should know that Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty sent a million troops, but he could not take over the Liaodong City until his destruction.

Li Shimin led only 100,000 troops, and 30,000 naval troops were eliminated. Will the Liaodong city be conquered in less than this month?

Li Zhi also had some admiration on his face and said, "My father communicates with me every day. I don't know less about the situation on the front line than anyone else. Regarding military level, even though his father has not experienced war for many years, he is one of the best in the world. The tactics he used this time directly puzzled Goguryeo in Liaodong, and the situation was completely under his control."

"That's great!" Li Yuanai danced his arms excitedly.

As long as Liaodong is recovered, this time I will not lose money.

Then Li Yuanai also reacted. Li Zhi showed off his father-son relationship with tears in his eyes, so that he could get news from the front line first.

The two of them walked and came to the dinner hall.

Each sits down in the seats.

On the table is placed stewed mutton and mutton soup unique to the north.

Li Zhi was young and didn't like drinking.

Li Yuanai is not addicted to alcohol, and she never drinks when she is with Li Zhi.

Smelling the unique aroma of stewed mutton, Li Yuanai moved his index finger, first cut a piece of mutton, chewed it in big mouthfuls, then drank mutton soup, and swallowed the chewed mutton in the soup. The taste was a comfort.

Li Zhi also ate some casually and said, "In his letter, the situation in Liaodong is a bit bad, and he has the idea of ​​moving the people of Liaodong to Youzhou."

Li Yuanai was shocked and asked quickly: "Why? This is not a trivial matter."

Although Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, it can be summarized by squeezing it out, and there will be more than 100,000 yuan in any case.

The financial and material resources consumed by the relocation of more than 100,000 people, and the financial and material resources consumed by a large army are much greater.

The army is at least very fast, and it is no problem to have dozens of miles a day.

More than 100,000 people?

If you can walk ten miles, Amitabha Buddha will be able to walk ten miles with your children.

Moreover, with more than 100,000 people, how to resettle them is also a serious problem.

Placed in Youzhou and compete for resources with the people of Youzhou?

Should the people of Youzhou be comforted?

All kinds of unexpected problems will drive the person in charge crazy.

Li Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it the trouble I caused before?"

It turns out that since the founding of Jumeng, Goguryeo has been annexing small neighboring countries and growing stronger.

With a little strength, he began to covet the territory of the Han Dynasty. At that time, Liaodong County was controlled by the warlike Gongsun Yuan. The King of Goguryeo contacted Cao Wei and concluded an alliance and attacked Gongsun Yuan together, but where did Goguryeo have ever played with the senior officials of Cao Wei?

Sima Yi decided to Liaodong in a hundred days and directly took Liaodong.

Goguryeo was dissatisfied and sent troops to attack the eastern and western parts of Liao.

There is a way that the country will always die because of weakness, while the Han will only die because of strongness.

Although Cao Wei was not a unified country, it was not something that Goguryeo could compete with. He directly sent troops to destroy Goguryeo's capital.

However, Cao Wei's attack was not complete, and they thought Goguryeo was destroyed. However, in just seventy years, Goguryeo rebuilt the capital of Maru and began to attack Liaodong, Lelang and Xuantu.

At that time, it happened to be the darkest period in Chinese history.

The Eight Kings Rebellion and the Five Barbarians Invaded China, they came in return.

Goguryeo conquers Baekje in the south and attacks Khitan in the north. Fuyu also took the opportunity to occupy Liaodong.

Because of this, Liaodong has occupied Goguryeo for more than two hundred years.

The people in the country have long as assimilated Goguryeo. They speak Goguryeo from the Northeast, and children learn Goguryeo culture.

Under Goguryeo's deliberate concealment, the people in the territory did not even know that they were Han people and were a member of the Chinese nation.

What Li Shimin is worried about has happened.

After the Tang army captured Liaodong, they stationed in Liaodong City, facing the joy of returning, but the fearful and hatred eyes of the people.

They regarded the Tang army who recovered the lost land as the invaders and as the enemy who occupied their homes.

This situation is extremely dangerous.

The people are not without combat capabilities, especially the people in Liaodong. They are born in a bitter and cold place. Everyone is as strong as a cow. Most of them can ride horses and shoot arrows. As long as someone raises his arms and gives him a weapon, it is a force that cannot be underestimated.

This also means that the Tang army who wanted to penetrate deep into the heart of Goguryeo was not only to deal with the Goguryeo army they were in, but also to beware of the "Chinese people" who assimilated Goguryeo in Liaodong and western Liaoning.

No wonder Li Shimin was willing to move to the people of Liaodong. If this situation was caused, even if they destroyed Goguryeo, it would be difficult to stabilize the situation in Liaodong in the short term.

"No, absolutely not!"

Li Yuanai immediately said: "Liaodong is not only the inherent territory of our dynasty, but also a paradise for nomadic fishing and hunting. If we move to Liaodong people into Youzhou, it will lead to the loss of Liaodong's competitiveness. Once it is occupied by other tribes, it will be a problem for resting here. It is easy to invite gods, but it will be difficult to send gods."

"Don't worry!" Li Zhi said calmly: "I understand my father's temper. He told me in his letter that it was impossible for him to give up on Liaodong. Otherwise, he would not have tried his best to fight this battle. But the current situation will be worse than expected, especially the transportation of food and grass, which is related to the overall situation." The more he spoke, the more he became more awesome.

Li Yuanai also put away his hippie smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm in control of the grain here. I counted all the grains in Hebei, and all the reserved grains can be used for half a year for the front-line army. Moreover, I don't plan to use the grains in Jicheng granaries. The grains transported to the front line are transported from the canal and sent directly to the front line. The grains in Jicheng granaries should be kept at critical moments, such as grains and grasses being robbed, or when there is a problem on the front line and I urgently need to use the grains, I will use Jicheng granaries to ensure that they reach the front line as soon as possible."

Li Zhi nodded and said with some indignation: "No matter what, you can do the logistics matters, and I'm still safe. While the father and uncle are not around, we will handle the matters behind and block the old ministers' mouths."
