The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 57 Post-War Deployment
The Yincheng defenders who were under martial law for a day saw no abnormalities, and their defenses were more or less relaxed.

At dusk, a large group of women ran over crying, crying, "Open the door! Open the door!"

A few soldiers looked down and saw more than 200 Yingying and Yanyan women calling the door from the city, and a dozen old men interspersed with them. The soldiers looked at each other, wondering what happened?

"Where are you from?" the soldier asked loudly.

The first few women cried: "We are women from Yemao Town, Fuyu City in the north. A large group of Sui people came and killed all our men. They didn't divide the spoils evenly. There was a dispute and they were killed by the generals. We have a chance to escape, the generals let us go to Yincheng, we have been walking for a day, let you let us in."

At this moment, the officer-in-charge also came, and he looked at them for a while. They were very young, and there were several of them who were bare-chested. Their half-covered pretty appearances made people's heart skip a beat. He looked into the distance again, and there were no Who, thinking that the men of these women are dead, it’s okay to occupy them, so he whispered: "Let them in, everyone has a share."

The soldiers were all moved. Hearing this, he lowered the suspension bridge and opened the city gate. Some soldiers waved to the women, "Come in!"

These women ran towards the city, and the dozen or so people who came in first were indeed young women.

More than 200 women came running from behind, wearing veiled hats and wide skirts, all beautifully dressed and full of fragrance, which only made the soldiers smile.

But as soon as these women ran into the city, they suddenly pulled out knives from under their skirts and slashed at their heads and faces. Several soldiers standing at the door could not dodge in time, and fell to the ground screaming.

A burly woman lifted her veiled hat, revealing her bloody mouth painted bright red. It was Xue Wanche, who was wearing heavy makeup. He swung a horizontal knife and slashed all the way. The soldiers were slaughtered cleanly.The captain who defended the city had his head chopped off with a knife, and the rest were scared out of their wits and fled in all directions.

Xue Wanche fought all the way up the city tower and seized the winch controlling the suspension bridge. After a short while, thousands of Sui soldiers came and rushed into Yincheng.

Hearing that Xue Wanche had captured Yincheng, Yang Tong immediately led an army of 1 people to attack, leaving [-] people in Yincheng, and the troops were divided into two groups!
Yang Tong led an army of [-] to conquer more than [-] small mountain cities such as Houhuang and Hengshan; after Qin Qiong captured Momi, he also made great strides. In the east, the [-] Xiaoguo army screamed and killed Goguryeo, almost wiped them out, forcing the remnants of Goguryeo to withdraw from Xuanju City, and the Sui army took advantage of the trend and took Xuanju City in one fell swoop.

When Qin Qiong took over the treasury, it turned out that he had made a fortune.

Xuanyu City, also known as Goguryeo City, is located in the gentle area in the east of the Qianshan Mountains. The land is rich and fertile, and has always produced a lot of food.A large amount of grain can be harvested every year to supply dozens of mountain cities such as Maigu-Minmi-Hengshan-Houhuang-Wuyingluo for military use.During the current several wars, a lot of ordnance has also been hoarded here!
After counting them one by one, there are actually more than 50 stones of grain and grass in the city, as well as a large number of ordnance, including hundreds of thousands of arrows alone.

In view of the fact that Xuanju City is in a gentle area, and it is not a war to destroy the country, Qin Qiong mobilized all the people in the city to move all the supplies to Maigu City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then burned Xuanju City to nothingness.

And when the two armies had their own gains, Li Jing also took down Wu Yingluo without bloodshed, and then easily took down the important city-Xincheng.It is all thanks to Xue Wanche, who retreated into Wuyingluo together with more than 2000 Sui troops who had failed to cheat the city before, and then followed the Goguryeo army to abandon this fortress that had become an isolated city and go to Xincheng. When Li Jing arrived, they were An internal response was launched, and [-] defenders were killed in Xincheng.

At this time, Goguryeo's national power was extremely weak, and the main enemy was Silla. There were very few troops in the north of the Yalu River. Important towns like Anshi and Gaimu, which were far away from Liaodong City, had only [-] defenders. The national strength was weak. Can be seen in general.

Along with the [-] garrisons of Beifuyu City, [-] garrisons of Yincheng, [-] garrisons of Wuyingluo, [-] garrisons of Houhuang, [-] garrisons of Hengshan, [-] garrisons of Xuanji City, and [-] garrisons of Xincheng The army and many small town defenders were wiped out, and Goguryeo had no power to resist the Sui army for the time being.

In view of this, Yang Tong decided to further expand the war, and then wielded a large victorious army to attack Baiyan, Black Bone City, Gaimu, Anshi, Shabei, and Jian'an in the south with a thunderous momentum, and finally stopped in Nanfuyu City.

This time, Yang Tong took advantage of Luo Yi's rebellion to annex Khitan and successfully annexed Khitan. On the Goguryeo battlefield, he overachieved. The captive people reached a staggering more than 12.

Goguryeo has been established for more than 700 years. Based on the four counties of Liaodong in the Han Dynasty, after hundreds of years of development, it has become a feudal country dominated by farming. That's why Yang Jian and Yang Guang regarded it as a confidant.

The scary thing about the agrarian state is its potential for war.They have strong walls, stable food, and a steadily growing population.And food is sufficient, and there is room to develop other things, such as iron smelting, casting weapons, etc., and the Goguryeo people have never abandoned their ability to fish, hunt, ride and shoot.

What made Goguryeo most disturbing to the Sui Dynasty was their territory and population. Although the nomadic tribes on the grassland, such as the Huns and Turks, dominated the grassland, their population was always limited.

But Goguryeo has a very large population. It is said that Goguryeo has more than 200 cities and more than 70 households.

At the peak of the Sui Dynasty, there were 890 million households and a population of just over 600 million.However, there are more than 70 households in Goguryeo, and the population is at least 400 million, which is almost one-twelfth of the Sui Dynasty.

Although there were many hermits and black households in the Sui Dynasty, and servants who were not in the official status, after two generations of strengthened management, the hidden households and black households were basically cleaned up. Registered population.But Goguryeo, a country that is not considered civilized, has a large number of slaves, and these are not listed in the household registration, so the actual population of Goguryeo is at least 500 million.Coupled with some Mohe tribes that have always been attached to Goguryeo, Goguryeo's strength has been strengthened.

At its peak, Goguryeo had 50 armor.

Although Turks are now known as millions of people who control strings.

But in fact, all Turkic people ride horses are warriors, and the millions of people who control strings are almost their entire population.But Goguryeo's 50 armored soldiers are only the number of soldiers. If all the people were soldiers, it would be far higher than this number.

When Goguryeo was strong, it was able to pull out 40 troops to fight against the Sui Dynasty. However, after Yang Jian once and Yang Guang fought Goguryeo twice, Goguryeo's national strength dropped by about [-] to [-]%.

But in real calculations, what Goguryeo lost was actually soldiers and supplies, and the population and infrastructure of the people did not suffer much damage. If it was devoted to development for ten years, it would definitely be a powerful country with 50 soldiers.

However, this sudden war was a huge trauma to Gao Gou. The lost one-third of the country was a major grain-producing area. It is not the millions of people in the country who are supported. In a sense, Yang Tong’s captives of more than 60 people are actually helping Goguryeo to overcome the food shortage.But in the future, the lack of population, the reduction of land, and the loss of the source of war horses will cause a series of problems.Moreover, all the strategic locations have fallen into the hands of the Great Sui, and the initiative of the war has all fallen into the hands of the Great Sui. Moreover, Yang Tong will never give Goguryeo a chance to recover with peace of mind.

"Back in the day, Goguryeo was just one of the Wei family's Korean tribes established by Weiman. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed Korea, Goguryeo was the county, which belonged to Xuantu County. At that time, Xuantu had only three counties with a population of more than 22. Later, Goguryeo In the 600 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are actually more than 600 million people."

Fang Xuanling said: "In fact, among the more than 600 million people in Goguryeo, it is estimated that less than half of them are Chinese Han people."

Not to mention that Goguryeo seized the land and population of the Han people after the founding of the country, even in the melee in the Central Plains of the past dynasties, there were continuous losers and escaped people who fled to Liaodong.

"Stop talking nonsense, these people will only regard us as invaders now, and they only have hatred for the Sui Dynasty and the Han people!"

Yang Tong said with a smile: "This time, we caught him by surprise and achieved brilliant results. In the future, as long as we defend the line of Maigu-Black Bone-Nambuyu Fortress, even if there are 50 soldiers in Goguryeo, it will be difficult for us to make a move."

Fang Xuanling said: "This land is huge, so it's time to set up a new county."

Yang Tong said: "East Liaodong City was renamed Xiangping, and Xiangping County was established in the former Koguryo area east of Liaoshui and north of Gaimu. In the southern region, Lvshun County was set up, governing Nan Fuyu City, the county guard was Deng Hao, and the county magistrate Mai Zhongcai; Liaoxi and Liaodong were withdrawn and merged into Shuangliao County, governing Yan County, and Huangfu Wuyi was the county governor... Shuangliao County , Xiangping County has fertile land and mainly grows food, and in the future, if there are victims of disasters going to Jizhou, give priority to these two counties!"

"At the same time, all the more than 30 domestic prisoners of war were moved to Shuangliao County to build roads. After they were built in Yanjun County, one road was built to Tongding Town, and the other was built to the opposite bank of Xincheng. Shuangliao and Xiangping counties!"

"Your Highness is wise!" Fang Xuanling praised sincerely, and was about to say that the second county is suitable for the development of agriculture. Unexpectedly, Yang Tong also thought of it: "I thought that I could choose a young woman from Goguryeo and Khitan women to marry them. Those who make their homes in Shuangliao City are married to Goguryeo girls, and those who make their homes in Xiangping County are married to Khitan girls!"

"That's a good idea!" Yang Tong's eyes lit up. In this way, both women will leave their homeland, and once they have children, their nostalgia for their homeland will gradually fade away.

"By the way, first select young and beautiful women with good facial features and betroth them to bachelors in the army!"

Fang Xuanling saw Luo Shixin evasive, so he smiled and said: "General Shixin, I will pick out the ten most beautiful beauties for you, just don't worry."

Luo Shixin said loudly, "I don't want it!"

"No, no! You not only inherit the incense from the Luo family, but also the incense from your master, General Zhang Xutuo!"

"That's fine!" Luo Shixin sighed helplessly.

"There is also Xuanling, you have to choose ten more, how many babies must be born next year!" Yang Tong has malicious intentions, Fang Xuanling's daughter-in-law is surnamed Lu, she must be the inventor who is jealous, absolutely unmistakable.

Fang Xuanling's complexion changed drastically, and his expression turned pale, as if he had heard the most terrifying thing in the world.

"This is an order, and it must be carried out! Otherwise, you will be on the black list of untrustworthy!"

Fang Xuanling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, felt uneasy, and said as if mourning her concubine: "Your order is to try."

"Your Highness, there is a gap between Black Bone City and Nanfuyu City, which is not conducive to defense. I plan to use the Great Wall to connect the two cities and then extend them to the sea!"

The new official took office with three fires, and the second city was in a strategic location, so Deng Hao's first consideration was defense!
Yang Tong said: "I'll give you [-] captives! Build ports and roads in Lushun! If you play to death, just throw them into the sea and don't even need to bury them!"

Deng Hao was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Wei Yunqi said: "Your Highness, Xiao Liao River and Liao River have been in disrepair for a long time, roads, bridges and so on..."

Yang Tong said: "I'll give you 15 yuan, if you die of playing, throw it into the river!"

Wei Yunqi was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Besides building the place, you have one very important thing to do!" Yang Tong said solemnly.

"Your Highness, please give me instructions!"

Yang Tong said: "During the two battles of Goguryeo, there were still many soldiers scattered in the mountains, try to find them and arrange them properly!"

"Here!"
