Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 743
"King Qin, the safety of Sui depends on you."

Emperor Yang Hao supported Luo Cheng's hand, Luo Cheng looked at the emperor's appearance, and didn't know whether he should be happy with the emperor's understanding of current affairs or feel that he was a little cowardly.

Luo Cheng nodded.

"I should try my best to live up to your majesty's entrustment, and bring peace to the world as soon as possible."

Returning from the Liuhe City Palace to the Grand Marshal's Mansion in Liaodong City, Luo Cheng immediately discussed with Wei Zheng, Hou Mo and Chen Yi.

"It's getting colder and colder, let Shixin and the others hurry up and clear the Fuyu River to end this battle."

"The battle is almost over, and there are only a few mountain cities still fighting. I have asked the six generals to readjust their deployment. Attack if you can. If you can't attack for the time being, just leave some soldiers and horses to surround them."

After taking down the main city of Buyeo and the surrounding forty cities, only a few mountain cities are still resisting, but nothing can be changed.

Now the battle of Fuyuchuan has entered the final stage, and soldiers and horses have begun to retreat to the squadron one after another.

Du Ruhui and the others also began to establish Buyeo County in Buyeo in the name of the imperial court, and then selected and dispatched officials.

On the side of the commander-in-chief, they began to organize the transfer of the second army to Fuyu.

The Xincheng Line, where the Second Army was originally stationed, was partly defended by the Third Army, and most of it was still garrisoned by the Second Army.

"There is also good news. Tudiji went to Sumoshui to contact and recruit Sumo Mohe tribes under the order of the commander-in-chief. The results were good. As the six generals captured more than [-] cities in Fuyuchuan, the Mohe tribes in the northeast of Fuyuchuan The tribes, especially the tribes of Sumoshui, were willing to surrender one after another, and some who refused to attach were also attacked by Tudiji and other tribes, and they fled to the east bank of Sumoshui."

Luo Cheng was also very happy when he heard this.

During the first Eastern Expedition, when Luo Cheng led the army as the vanguard to attack Liaodong, he defeated the leader of the Sumo Tribe who surrendered. He was oppressed by the Goguryeo people before, and he was dissatisfied for a long time. After being defeated by Luo Cheng, he simply brought more than [-] families of the tribe who had moved to the Xincheng area to join Luo Cheng.

In the past few years, his performance has been good, and he has won Luo Cheng's trust.

This time, when Luo Cheng sent troops to attack Yu Chuan, he also sent this guy to lead the way.

The Mohe tribe occupies the northeast, and there are many tribes, but they are relatively backward. They are still in the era of fishing and hunting. They have also fought against the Goguryeo people for hundreds of years, but they have been at a disadvantage and are suppressed by the Goguryeo people. Therefore, many tribes can only attach to Goguryeo.

The largest tribes in Mohe include the Sumo tribe, the Bodou tribe, the Anchegu tribe, the Baishan tribe, the Fupin tribe, the Haoshi tribe, and the Heishui tribe.

Among them, Bodu and Sumo lived in the upper and lower reaches of the Xiliu Songhua River, and the Baishan tribe lived in the Changbai Mountain area. Both of them were more in contact with Goguryeo and the Central Plains, and the Mohe tribe was more civilized.

As you go further to the northeast, the tribes become more and more barbaric. For example, the Heishui tribe is the Mohe people who occupy the Heilongjiang River Basin. They wear wild boar skins and fish skins, live in caves and tree houses, and make a living by fishing and hunting. Ru Mao drinks blood.

This time, Tudiji brought eight tribes including Shilai, Kutushi, Yuejimeng, Yueyu, Buhulai, Poxi, Bukuoli, and Jueji from the Sumo tribe. , 5000 soldiers from Mohe marched northeast from Fuyuchuan.

Luo Cheng used the Mohe people to control the Mohe people, and the effect was surprisingly good.

The vast wilderness and mountains and rivers to the east of Fuyuchuan are still places where the loyal army cannot penetrate, but these Mohe people used to live in that area, and the long Songhua River flowing westward was called Sumo at this time. Water is the hometown where their ancestors lived for generations.

Call back this time, it's a familiar way.

And when they went back this time, the equipment was different than before. Luo Cheng gave them a lot of Sui army standard equipment, replaced shotguns with cannons, and arranged for many officers to accompany them.

Tudiji was appointed by him as the commander of the capital, and the following eight chiefs were also appointed as commanders by Luo Cheng.Luo Cheng once told Tudiji that if he could unite and convince the Sumoshui tribes, then Luo Cheng would set up Sumo County there, grant Tudiji the prefect and governor, and confer titles on other counties.

The command envoys of the remaining eight ministries will also be conferred the titles of County Magistrate and Founding County Marquis.

So this time these Mohe people worked very hard.

The battle in Fuyuchuan here is not yet completely over, but they have basically pulled and fought over the upper and middle reaches of this big river that is more than a thousand miles long.

"Win and surrender more than a hundred ministries, with a total of more than [-] households and a population of more than [-]."

In the upper and middle reaches of the Songhua River, which flows thousands of miles to the west, there are only about [-] households, which is indeed a vast land and sparsely populated.

"I did what I said, and I sent someone to tell Tudiji that the imperial court established Sumo County in Sumoshui, so he was made the governor and prefect of Sumo, and he was named the founder of Sumo County, and eight counties were placed under it. Then tell him, if he can bring the Bodou tribe from downstream, then that is also the territory of Sumo County."

"Really appoint him as the governor and prefect? ​​Will it be a big disaster?"

"Don't be afraid, their family members are still in Liaodong. Besides, we are unable to go deep into the northeast now, so he will take care of it for the time being. We will set up the sixth army of the Zhongwu Army with the Tudiji branch and give him 4000 troops. At the same time, the imperial court sent some county and county officials and lieutenant generals to watch over them."

Luo Cheng ignored other things, but asked Tudiji to build the roads and post stations leading to Liaodong first. At the same time, he was asked to register the census of the Sumo tribes, compile the population of household registration, draw a map of mountains and rivers, and delineate counties and counties. Border, and then sent to Liaodong City together.

"Should we no longer let Tudiji select the sons of the chieftains and the brave and strong members of the clan from the Sumo tribes, and send them to Liaodong? It can be used as a supplement to the loyal military force and as a hostage." Wei Zheng suggested.

"That's a good suggestion." Luo Cheng agreed.

After the end of the Battle of Fuyuchuan, Luo Cheng has achieved the purpose of beating Yuan Taejo and weakening his strength, so that he cannot make trouble after he sent troops to the Central Plains, so he will not continue to attack the domestic city and other Yuan clan North Korea of the city.

Not to mention, the Songhua River and Nen River basins are thousands of miles away.

First appoint Tudiji as a subordinate, and use the Mohe people to control the Mohe people. Even if Tudiji may have other ideas in the future, at least now he can serve as the northern border of the Ping Fan in Liaodong, and he can contain the Xiayuan family.

"How about giving Tudiji a surname?"

"You can imitate the old example of the three tribes of Xi Qiqi, and give Tudiji the name Luo Chongxin. The chiefs of the eight tribes gave each a Han name, and each of the eight tribes followed the chief and gave a Han surname. As for the other Sumo tribes that belonged to them, they also Give Han surnames. Give one surname to one part!"

"Marshal, Yuan Taizuo's envoy has brought a lot of money and silk gifts to ask for peace, see you?"

Luo Cheng sneered a few times, "No, tell him to go back and tell Yuan Taizuo that if he is sincerely loyal to the court, then he will take the title of king himself, and the court can grant him the title of Duke of North Korea. Then do so at your own peril!"
