Chapter 455: The Fate of Goguryeo
What did this person just say?

He is discussing the benefits???

After hearing Su Yao's words, all the people of Wuruga were numb.

No, you, the great Han Dynasty with thick eyebrows and big eyes, when did you start talking about benefits?

If you have the ability to do this kind of thing, wouldn't you all be eager to do it?

Didn’t the officials of the Han Dynasty love this kind of fame-seeking thing the most?

"Helping the vassal state to eliminate traitors and restore order, this is a great achievement for Governor Yu."

As he spoke, Wuluga looked around.
What is he doing?

The answer was, to find the prefect.

This young man is ignorant and doesn't understand the ins and outs of this. I think the steady governor will definitely know the pros and cons.
"I am the governor."

Su Yao could almost feel a black line appearing on his face.

"what?!"

There was a pop.

Wuruga, who had been kneeling obediently on the ground, fell backwards and looked at Su Yao in disbelief.

"Why, it doesn't look like it?"

Puff.

Just as the onlookers were either trying hard to suppress their expressions or looking up, suddenly, a clear female voice was heard from the door.

The maid Nana covered her mouth and fled in panic under Xiaochun's speechless gaze.

While running, she couldn't help but screaming in her heart: Like a ghost.

How could I be defeated and captured by such a man!
"."

The lobby was completely silent and the scene was quite awkward for a moment.

Wei Ming coughed lightly, not surprising that everyone was like this.

He looked at Su Yao helplessly
Who can blame this?

Not to mention that it is already very puzzling that you, at such a young age, are in charge of a county.

The fact that you are in the county magistrate's mansion, not wearing official robes but military armor is very confusing.

Moreover, you said that during our meeting, you did not sit in the main seat, but walked around the room randomly, looking around,
Except for those of us who are familiar with you, who would know that you are a governor!!!
Wei Ming was complaining madly in his heart, but Xiaochun at the door seemed more open-minded than him.

Where is this?

Rather, today this is pretty good.

My Lord, the prefect is already giving you face by not standing on the beam or the table while you are speaking.

You people are really surprised by everything.

However, after this incident, Wuruga was completely dumbfounded.

When had he ever seen such a prefect?
Is the Han Dynasty going to end?

Why would they send such an eccentric and strange person to be the governor of Liaodong?

Is my request for help still reliable?
With everyone nodding, although he knew Su Yao's identity, he was already disappointed.

I really didn't have much hope of succeeding in my mission.

He was also not interested in the benefits Su Yao mentioned:

"If you can help us, the Dowu tribe, overthrow the tyranny of Minglindaye, we, the Dowu tribe, will fully support you and become your staunch ally in Goguryeo."

"As for the rest, I wonder what the governor wants?"

Su Yao was amused. Okay, so you want me to name a price? So, before the action began, both sides had a thorough discussion on the post-war issues.

"Since you said that your tribe has an independent status and territory, then you need to come up with a reasonable plan for the guide and attack route."

"In addition, we should actively prepare the materials needed for our army's advance, establish supply transfer stations, and provide manpower to assist our army's operations in Goguryeo."

"At the same time, once Ming Linda is successfully overthrown, it is necessary to ensure that Goguryeo continues to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty and restore the previous tribute system."

In response, Wuluga nodded in agreement.

To be honest, the only thing that Ming Lindafu could approve of was Goguryeo's independent policy of severing tribute to the Han Dynasty.

However, considering that he is now alone and has to rely on the Han army, he has no choice but to submit again.

Seeing that Wuluga agreed, Qian Zhao, Tian Chou and others nodded quietly with satisfaction in their eyes.

They were not people who did not know the importance of the matter. They opposed the war before because they understood that the situation in Goguryeo was complicated. Not only would it be difficult to conquer it with the strength of Liaodong County alone, but the cost of the war would also be enormous.

However, now with the support of many people, things will be much easier.

Both of their brows relaxed.

Then, Su Yao continued to say:
"Resuming tribute is the first step."

"In addition to regular tribute, Liaodong and Goguryeo must establish closer economic and trade ties."

"As for the sable fur and northern pearls in Goguryeo, I will send special people to manage and purchase them. You must protect the safety of the caravan and not set up checkpoints to stop them."

Wars, no matter in which era, are fought for economic reasons.

It costs money to recruit soldiers and to replace better equipment for the troops. It also costs money to go to war, prepare food and fodder, and organize baggage teams.

And now Su Yao will naturally not forget the original development plan.

Establish a stable trade route and quickly accumulate wealth.

Ginseng, this undeveloped commodity is relatively easy to obtain now, but it needs future publicity to pave the way.

The key commodities are still Liaoma, sable fur and northern pearls.

After taking over the vassal state of Liaodong, Su Yao had a stable supply of Liao horses.

But this is clearly not enough.

Horses need to be supplied to the army first. Only after conquering Goguryeo and obtaining sable fur and northern pearls, can his caravan gather the core products of the Northeast and maximize profits.

"To this end, in order to ensure the smooth and safe trade routes, I will also establish a post station system between the white mountains and black waters."

"I will send soldiers from Liaodong to maintain this area."

"Ah this."

Wuluga hesitated.

Although he had no concept of national sovereignty, he still instinctively felt a little resistance.

If this condition is agreed, the Han people will go so deep into their territory for the first time.

This is also Su Yao’s purpose.

Although Su Yao wanted to fight against Goguryeo, he did not intend to destroy it directly.

There are savages everywhere in the mountains and forests of Northeast China.

After the destruction of Goguryeo, there were still countless barbarian tribes such as Buyeo, Wokou, Yiluo, and Winan. They were like endless wild monsters, attracted by the Han Dynasty's lighthouse, and approached the Han territory little by little.

Today's Goguryeo has shifted from a nomadic to a semi-settled lifestyle, with agricultural production accounting for more than half of its population.

Compared with those more barbaric and uncommunicative tribes, keeping Goguryeo as a vassal and letting them deal with the barbarians themselves would obviously save more ruling costs.

However, in order to prevent Goguryeo from becoming too powerful, they must first be severely damaged by military means, destroying their old ruling foundation, and then by migrating the population, establishing garrison outposts, post stations, and trade routes, etc., to weaken their autonomy, break up their ruling ability, and highly bind them to Liaodong politically and economically, so as to lay a better foundation for the future reform of the natives and the people. This is what Su Yao has to do now.
