Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 182 Provoking Discord
In Goguryeo, Gao Cong, who had mastered the military power, quietly returned to Pingyuan City and launched a series of political and political changes, truly holding the military and political power firmly in his hands.Due to the high prestige of the Goguryeo royal family in the country, most of the generals who were dismissed or "handled" had no strength to resist.

The responsibility for the failure of the last war was borne by the dead brothers Gao Chan and Gao Feng.The reason is that the two of them were infighting, which affected the battle.Only the kind-hearted Comrade Gao Cong maintains the overall situation, but no one speaks lightly.But because of this, the third prince Gao Cong was able to pass the test of the "Great God" Gao Cong, and entrusted the important task of the country to Gao Cong.

Gao Cong originally wanted to abandon the identity of this god, but when he took a look, he found that the whole country had been immersed in the dream of the kingdom of gods, and almost all the people believed in it.And the prestige of his Goguryeo royal family is all because of this god legend.

ingrained.Gao Cong found that he had become a mayfly shaking a big tree.

In addition to the 3 people who went out last time, there are still 3 troops in the country, and 2 people are defending Silla Baekje in the south, and they must not move.There are still [-] people guarding various passes and royal cities. It will not be easy to use or send troops to the Bohai Sea.

In addition, Gao Cong also has a long-neglected army in his hands-the navy.How much neglect?When Gao Yuan sent troops to Bohai, he never thought that he still had such an army in his hands.

When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo three times, it was the navy that killed the most people.Therefore, the Goguryeo people have long regarded the captured warships as "waste", thinking that they would only use them when fleeing.

In the past, when the three brothers were all around, the elder brother Gao Chan had a team of ten thousand people in his hand, and Gao Cong had a navy army in his hand.Of course, the second brother Gao Feng has a team of female guards in his hands...

So this water army can be regarded as Gao Cong's personal soldiers. In fact, this water army is also Gao Cong's second-in-command.Before he had the slightest chance to take the throne, he originally thought that if he lost his position in the struggle for the throne.

Others ignore Sui Jun, but Gao Cong does not. He has long seen the sharpness of Sui Jun's blade.

To advance can be attacked, and retreat can be defended.

Going ashore can form an formation to fight, going to the sea can flee far away, and can be a guerrilla, which can be described as the best of both worlds.Therefore, Gao Cong spent a lot of energy and money on the navy.Without this navy, Gao Cong would not have dared to fight again, but with such a gun in his waist, Gao Cong was in a dilemma whether to fight the cat or not.

"Report~" A knight with a red token rushed in, and those with a red token could ride directly into the palace without getting off their horses.

Gao Cong raised his head in deep thought, took a look, and said to the man, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, I'm overjoyed, the people of the Dahe family have left!" A close minister took a look at the letter and said very happily.

Gao Cong heard that the word "Wang Shang" was very useful. Although his father, the old man Gao Yuan, was still there, he had already grasped the real power. He had wanted to hear and thought about the word "My Majesty" for a long time.Gao Cong stood up excitedly: "What did you say?"

"The [-] Dahe's cavalry that the Bohai people relied on have all been withdrawn! Bohai, now they are just meat on the board!"

Gao Cong turned his head to look at the messenger, walked over and pretended to help him, and the man stood up in fear, "Your Majesty..."

Gao Cong tried his best to maintain the calmness of a superior: "Is the news in the letter reliable? It can't be the trick of the Bohai people, right?"

"Your Majesty, those cavalry have been withdrawn for three days. We sent agents to investigate, but there is no trace of the cavalry!"

"Okay..." Gao Cong clapped his hands together, and the look of hope appeared in his eyes: "People from Bohai, this time I want to be ashamed!"

Suddenly, Gao Cong looked at the sky again and said: "Gao Chan, it seems that the destiny of destiny is on me! Hahahaha..."

Bohai:

The tens of thousands of temporary troops brought back were reorganized into 8000 people, and the rest and the rescued slaves were all paid for by work.

A series of decrees have been issued to rest with the people, tax cuts and exemption from labor.

The booty brought from the Xi clan is enough to support the operation of the country, and the people will naturally be able to reduce taxes; if the hard labor is handed over to the captives, the people will naturally be exempted.

With a swipe of a pen, Duan Hongchen built a new city thirty miles north of Longquan Mansion. On the one hand, the rescued people could be settled, and on the other hand, a powerful barrier could be directly established between the Dahe clan and Bohai Sea.

Animating the people, building a city, training an army, and breaking the world of mortals are not too much, but not too little.In terms of official system, Duan Hongchen's method of maintaining the Anhe General's Mansion remains unchanged, but on this basis, some powers of the Anhe General's Mansion have been reduced, and non-critical official positions have been given to the locals.

In order to avoid being caught by Duan Hongchen in the classroom, Xu Qi sneaked into Xu Qingjian's castle.Xu Qing's castle has a name - Zhenbian Fort.

There are already more than 2000 households around the town and border fort, as well as more than 1000 slaves and [-] state soldiers.The slaves here worked harder than in other places, because Xu Qing gave them a chance to regain their freedom-anyone who worked hard here for a full year could be sent to the northeast to open up wasteland.

Before I knew it, it had been out for almost two months.The state soldiers began to miss home, and Xu Qing also began to miss Xu Xiaoqing and Xun Xueer.Seeing that Bohai gradually stabilized, Xu Qing planned to go home.First send people to recruit three large ships, and then transfer a thousand state soldiers from Longquan Mansion to prepare to board the ships nearby.

Just about to talk to Xu Qi about the situation, both Yang Cheng and Yang Xin came:

"My lord, the Goguryeo people on the opposite side are restless."

"Oh? How restless?"

"The person from the underground river just said that he found traces of landing on the river bank."

"Couldn't they be fishermen, the Goguryeo people suffered a severe injury last time, how could they make a comeback so quickly?"

"My lord, I can't be a fisherman, don't be careless..."

"Well, well, take a few people over to find out what's going on. If the Goguryeo people do something wrong, directly destroy his granary and assassinate his officials, you don't have to come back and report to me..."

"Here..." Yang Cheng and Yang Xin happily accepted Xu Qing's advice and left after seeing Xu Qing's remonstrance.

According to the schedule, the city lord Xu Qing will inspect the city wall in the afternoon, and then look at the working conditions of the captives.But today, when Xu Qing was looking at the city wall, he saw an acquaintance.He said he was an acquaintance, but it was just a meeting, but Xu Qing was deeply impressed by him.

Fisherman in a bamboo hat!

It was the last time when Xu Qing was reciting poems at the seaside, the fisherman in a bamboo hat appeared. The fisherman in a bamboo hat said to Xu Qing that something strange happened in Haixing. If you can solve the answer, I will give you a big gift.

Great gift, Xu Qing was the governor at that time, and the fisherman in a bamboo hat could see it!What is the great gift for the governor of Yizhou?Xu Qing has been thinking about it... Unfortunately, that problem is a murder case in a secret room, and the people behind it are also huge.Xu Qing didn't receive the big gift, instead he lost his army and lost his generals, and suffered a big loss.As a result, Xu Qing became more and more impressed with this mysterious bucket hat man.

Xu Qing raised hundreds of cavalry and ran over, but the bamboo hat man was not in a hurry, he looked like an old fisherman by the river bank.

As he approached, the man with the bamboo hat stood up, bowed to Xu Qing and said, "Inspector Xu, are you all right?"

"It's okay..." Xu Qing returned coldly.

The bamboo hat man laughed hoarsely: "Xu Cishi, the little old man overestimated you, and underestimated the person behind them..."

"So, you know the people behind them?" Xu Qing was beating his mind. Could it be those five surnames who could have such power?Xu Qing has the guts to wipe out the Cangzhou family, but if you give him ten guts, he won't provoke them.

"This person, Lord Inspector, really can't afford to offend him." The hat-wearing man pondered for a while and said, "This person's surname is Li..."

"Li Yuan?!"

"No, it's Li Shimin!"

"How is it possible?! Why is he dealing with me? How dare you sow discord?"

Xu Qing didn't want to believe what Li Shimin said that Li Shimin harmed him, but his heart gradually turned to Li Shimin's side. He was powerful and came from Chang'an. It seemed that Li Shimin also met the conditions, but there were too many people who agreed with the conditions.

If it was Li Shimin, how would he get along with the Lord of the Tang Dynasty in the future?Could it be...

The words of the bamboo hat Weng pulled Xu Qing out of his contemplation: "I am not from your Tang country, Li Shimin is not the prince, and you are not an important minister. Why are you sowing discord?"

Xu Qing had already believed three points at this time, but he glanced at Dou Liweng suspiciously: "Are you from Goguryeo?"

The hated man shook his head: "No, I'm from Silla..."

"...and a wanderer from Silla who was walking in Cangzhou, Bohai, Shandong and other places." Douli Weng added.

"Silla..." Xu Qing muttered in a low voice.

"That's right, Silla, after Jinhan, is also the weakest among the three Hans." The bamboo hat Weng poured beans into the bamboo tube and said: "The three kingdoms stand on the peninsula, and Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo are all after the Three Hans."

"If one of the three countries is strong, they will be united against by the other two countries. If the three countries are weak, it depends on whose backer is stronger. In the past, the backer of Silla was the Central Plains country, and the people of Baekje and Goguryeo did not dare to provoke. After the chaos..."

"You came here today, could it be that you want to..."

"Master Inspector is wise! That's right, I came to you this time because I want to join forces with Balhae to attack Goguryeo!"

"So, your status in Silla is quite high, otherwise, why would you care so much about these things. Tell me, how high is your status in Silla..."

"This statement is wrong. If you are seeking for the country, where should you distinguish your identity?"

"Hmph!" Xu Qing turned around and waved his hands, as if to refuse.

"Let's go slowly, governor, let me tell you this, my status in Silla is comparable to the king of Silla!"

Xu Qing was slightly surprised, and calmly said: "You are the king of Silla himself, why should I sacrifice my subordinates to help you?"

"Don't the governor think about Bo Hai?"

Xu Qing lied: "I am from the Tang Dynasty, and I owe a little favor to them in Bohai."

"Okay, I don't need to tell you about the important things about the Goguryeo people!" Weng Duo Li turned around and left, at this time it was Xu Qing who pulled people back: "Old man, go slowly..."

"What? Are you willing to help Bo Hai now?"

"Hey, it depends on how much the news you bring is worth."
