Chapter 136: The Plunder of Goguryeo
"Gongsun Kang was also killed by his subordinates?" Ma Qiang couldn't help but complain after hearing the war report Guo Jia said.
"And it's his tribe. Gongsun Mo is the leader. He and Gongsun Kang grew up since childhood. They were originally the commander of Gongsun Kang's guards." Guo Jia was also a little speechless. Wen Chou had been waiting in the wild for a long time, but who knew that this would be the result.
Your Gongsun family is too disunited...
"The brother is dead, and there is also a younger brother. Where is his younger brother Gongsun Gong?"
"It's still in Goguryeo. According to Gongsun Mo's explanation, Gongsun Kang has sent several waves of cavalry to Goguryeo for help."
“Goguryeo….”
The place occupied by Goguryeo was the northern part of Jilin in later generations. Only by breaking Goguryeo could the Han Dynasty continue to extend to the northeast and reach the Sanjiang Plain and Songnen Plain in the Northeast Plain.
Only by occupying these two places can the Han Dynasty have the capital to completely control the Northeast.
For such a remote place, even if Ma Qiang has no reason to send troops, there will be great resistance, so Ma Qiang wants to take this opportunity to level Goguryeo in one fell swoop.
It would be even better if Fuyu and Yiluo, which were north of Goguryeo, could also be eradicated.
Perhaps seeing that Ma Qiang wanted to continue to use troops to Goguryeo, Guo Jia advised, "Ming Gong, Goguryeo is located in a cold and remote place, and it does not threaten our great man in a short period of time. Instead, it is the affairs of the court, and it cannot be delayed any more...
If Ming Gong has ambitions, he can wait until he pacified the Central Plains and then go north again."
Although the situation in Jixianzhong is still stable due to military control, Yan Zhong's position and Lu Zhi's cooperation, it has been almost at its limit until now.
Even the people in Hebei prefectures began to feel something was wrong.
After all, there has been too long since the news of the court ministers in the news, as if there is no such group of people in this world.
Don't say... what they guessed is really not wrong...
Xu Shu had also gone south, and the Central Plains Alliance of Princes organized by Cao Cao might start war in Hebei at any time, and the decisive battle in the Central Plains will last within one or two years.
"Okay... Send someone to Goguryeo. If Goguryeo is willing to hand over Gongsun Gong and send a proton, saying that he will come to pay tribute every year and come to court every year, the Han Dynasty will not hold them accountable for helping the rebel Gongsun Du, and will enthrone the King of Goguryeo."
The conditions given by Ma Qiang are not too harsh. After all, everyone has many sons these days, so people don’t care much about protons, it’s more like a form.
Moreover, once the Han Dynasty grants the title, the reward will naturally not be small. In general, there will be no loss.
Guo Jia also felt that Ma Qiang had good conditions, so he promised to make arrangements and asked about the handling principles of officials from the three counties in Liaodong.
"There are many ethnic groups living in Liaodong, and the situation of the three Hans is not clear. The officials of each county will not move for the time being. We will talk about it after the subsequent assessment.
As for taxes, this year's tax will be exempted first, and will be recalculated after the subsequent clearance is completed."
Ma Qiang knew that Gongsun Du had almost killed nearly half of the Liaodong tyrants, which saved him the effort.
——Xi'anping, Liaodong County
Xi'anping is located in Dandong City in later generations, located next to the Mazishui River, and is also the only city in Liaodong County next to the Mazishui River.
Faced with Lin Hai's attack, he wisely surrendered. Lin Hai only left a village chief with a hundred people to stay behind, and all officials in the county were left.
This also made the people in the city and outside the city not feel any difference in Liaodong today, and they still work as sunrises and rest at sunsets.
In fact, most dynasties have changed, and they do not feel much about these people living in remote places. They still pay taxes and are busy with their main family’s rent.
Liu Xiba watched the sun slowly set, and came to his own wall of Wubao as usual, watching his tenant holding cattle and sheep entering Wubao under the urging of the gong.
Although this place is Han, there has never been a harassment among foreign races such as Goguryeo, so most of the villages here appear in the form of Wubao.
Liu Xiba is the owner of this Wu Castle and the patriarch here.
Although his name is not very good, according to his own words, their branch also has an identity. Ten generations ago, it was also an authentic Han family member in the genealogy!
Just to guard the border for the Han Dynasty, my ancestors worked here for generations. When he reached his grandfather's generation, he stopped reading books and took the name casually. For example, he was named Liu Xiba because he was the eighth son.
The tenants in Wubao also agreed with his statement.
Because their Wubao was said to have been called Qianying, but now it has been called Liujiaying.
Liu Xiba waited for the last ray of sunshine to fall, then walked down to Wubao, and then went to the ancestral hall to start burning incense.
It's pitiful. He had seven brothers above him, three died young, one was plundered by unknown people, two died of illness early, and one never came back in the army. He was the only one who lived to be forty.
The ancients wanted to die, and it was an exaggeration to say that winning the lottery jackpot, but saying that the probability of winning a blue ball was the same, it underestimated the difficulty of survival in ancient times.
"Peacekeeper, I'm back!" said a man standing outside the ancestral hall in dust.
As the lord of the land, Liu Xiba naturally had the identity of a pavilion leader in the official position.
"Lu Zi is back? How is the city?" Liu Xiba turned around and asked hurriedly.
Lu Zi replied, "Just like usual, I posted an Anmin notice, saying that we will be under the jurisdiction of the General in the future, and then... nothing will be left.
Oh, by the way, I also saw a group of soldiers wearing different clothes on weekdays. They were probably the general's soldiers."
"What is the attitude of those generals toward people? Do you pay for things to buy?"
"I didn't see it...but they look so good at walking!"
"Walking is good? What can I look good when walking? Is there a girl?" Liu Xiba asked in confusion.
The deer grabbed his head, and learned to walk in Handan as he learned the movements of the Hebei Army. He said while walking, "That's it. A few people lined up and walked even straighter than our crops!"
"More straighter than our crops? Then Gongsun Du won't be wronged..."
Liu Xi and the eight people were old and experienced a lot of things. From the way they walked, we can see that the Hebei Army had strict discipline. Such an army could not be less powerful.
"Did you meet the county magistrate?"
"When I saw it, the county magistrate asked me, the pavilion commander, why are you sick? I said I fell into the water as you taught me."
