At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

King Fuyu thought about it and felt that he couldn't do this, but he couldn't ignore Gongsun's daughter's plea, so he decided to send some cavalry to pretend to send troops.

Then King Fuyu secretly asked the generals leading the troops not to really help the Gongsun family, but to just put on a show, wait for the Gongsun family to be wiped out, and then lead the troops back, saying that they really didn't catch up.

In this way, both morality and practical interests are preserved.

He thought he was really an old wit.

Whoever has thick thighs will be hugged. Everyone knows this very clearly. King Fuyu will not sacrifice the future of the entire country for one woman.

It's better to be safe.

Fuyu made such a decision, but Gaoguli thought more about it.

Gaoguli knew that it was the Wei State in the Central Plains who attacked the Gongsun regime, which was very powerful, so Yiyimo, the youngest son of Gaoguli King Bogu, strongly opposed Bogu's sending troops to help the Gongsun clan.

Although the Gaoguli and Gongsun regimes were still in a relatively friendly period of cooperation before.

He felt that not only could he not help the Gongsun family, but he had to find a way to get in touch with Wei Guo and build a relationship with Wei Guo.

But Bogu's eldest son, Baki, didn't think so.

He felt that this was a good opportunity to take advantage of the fire and loot. Taking advantage of the fact that both the Wei army and the Gongsun army were wounded, they sent troops to wipe out the Gongsun army and the Wei army in one go, so that they could capture Liaodong.

Yiyimo thinks this is a fantasy.

"I heard that the emperor of Wei State is very powerful, the army is very capable of fighting, even Gongsun Du was beaten and asked for help, we can't even defeat Gongsun Du, how can we fight against the Emperor of Wei State?

Now we should stand still and wait for Wei Guo to eliminate Gongsun Du before we go to visit the people of Wei Guo and establish a normal relationship with Wei Guo. "

Baqi felt that Yiyimo was too timid and disdainful.

"Gongsun Du killed so many of our clansmen and subordinates. He is our life and death enemy. He gave up because he couldn't defeat him before. Now that he finally sees the opportunity, he has to do something more. If he doesn't seize Liaodong at this time, he must When will we seize Liaodong?"

Baqi firmly disagreed, opposed to supporting Gongsundu, and wanted to be the final winner.

At the same time, he thought that the Wei people would not stay here for a long time since they came from afar. As long as they retreated, even if they killed their army, they would not come to seek revenge.

In this way, Liaodong is theirs.

Yi Yimo still continued to object, saying that this would only make the Wei people angry, and sending troops to Gaoguli, Gaoguli would be in danger of subjugation.

Baqi confronted tit for tat and would not back down.

This made Bogu a little tangled.

After much deliberation, Bogu finally decided to adopt a compromise plan, neither to support Gongsundu nor to attack Wei's army, but to sit back and watch the success or failure, and then send troops according to the situation.

If the Wei people retreated after eliminating Gongsundu, that would be a great thing. If the Wei people won't leave after winning, then let's talk about it.

After all, it is such a big empire, it would be a bit too overreaching to do it directly.

At the beginning, Bogu once invaded Xuantu County, and then was severely beaten by the Xuantu County prefect. Knowing that these Han people in the Central Plains were difficult to deal with, he was afraid and did not dare to act rashly.

Although Baqi felt that his father was really too timid, since his father said it, he couldn't object and could only accept it.

So Bogu sent someone to observe the situation to see what the situation was like.

Soon, Gaoguli got the news that Fuyu sent troops to help Gongsundu, but also learned that the Fuyu people marched very slowly, and it didn't look like they were going to support Gongsundu.

Bogu saw through the Fuyu people's thoughts at a glance, and said with disdain that these guys must not dare to offend Wei Guo, and they are unwilling to become people who break the covenant, so they simply did such a thing.

Even the people of Fuyu made a decision not to offend the state of Wei, so Bogu still decided not to send troops directly, but to send more people to wait and see the situation, and then make a decision when the situation becomes clearer.

Neither the Fuyu Kingdom nor the Koguryo Kingdom chose to send troops to help the Gongsun clan. The Gongsun clan was completely isolated and was about to face a desperate situation.

At this moment, Tai Shici was sweeping Sanhan, beating Sanhan all over the ground, bringing tribe after tribe under his rule.

And the Yaba people don't know yet that they are about to suffer the same treatment as the Sanhan people.

Liu Yi was still besieged in Xiangping City and couldn't move. Tian Yu surrounded him to death. He kept trying to attack, breaking through the encirclement and defeating the Wei army, but he failed every time and never won.

Except for the loss of soldiers and generals, there is no result.

Although the food in Xiangping City is enough for them to eat, if this continues, Gongsun Kang will not be able to sustain it.

Liu Yi was very worried, and continued to work hard to break into the encirclement of the Wei army.

Gongsun Kang was miserable.

Constantly encountering long-range attacks from the Wei army, the city was burned into a mess. These flames could not be extinguished with water, but they were very lucky to be found to be extinguished with sand. This allowed Gongsun Kang to keep Xinchang County, and Xinchang was not destroyed. The fire burned.

But this is not the way after all.

Gongsun Kang tried to send General Xiao to lead the army to attack, trying to destroy the long-range strike weapons of the Wei army, but every attack suffered a disastrous defeat, and there was a danger of being pushed back by a wave of counterattacks by the Wei army, so Gongsun Kang gave up later.

Under endless bombing, Gongsun Kang still couldn't wait for reinforcements.

And he didn't know that it was impossible for him to get reinforcements, and the reinforcements would never come.

This is desperate.

Chapter 884 .890 Four Northeast Giant Beasts

On October 26 of the second year of Yande, the news that a cavalry force from Fuyu State was marching towards Gongsun's territory was discovered by Wei Jun's spies.

After hearing the news, Zhang Fei was very excited and immediately called for a fight.

"General, please give me five thousand cavalry, and I will definitely wipe out all these barbarians, leaving no one behind!"

Zhang Fei challenged Yu Jin with strong self-confidence.

Of course Yu Jin believed that Zhang Fei could win, but he felt a little strange no matter how he thought about it.

"No, if the Fuyu people want to support Gongsundu, they should send troops quickly and gallop all the way here, but this group of Fuyu people are not in a hurry at all."

Judging from the information obtained by Yu Jin, the Fuyu people's army is not large in number, and their speed is slow to death. They seem to be strolling in the courtyard, and it seems that they are not here to support the Gongsun family, but rather to travel.

Yu Jin quickly came to the conclusion that the Buyu people didn't seem to be here to help.

After thinking about it, Yu Jin's staff suggested a possibility.

"It is very likely that these Fuyu people just came to wait and see the situation, and did not plan to actually send troops. Maybe they were afraid of my prestige in Wei, so they did not dare to come to help, but because of the alliance, they had to send troops to make a gesture to deal with the situation. They dare not Take the initiative."

Everyone thinks that this possibility is very high, and Yu Jin also thinks that this possibility exists, so he doesn't take the threat of Fuyu people seriously.

Instead, he took this gesture as a way to attack Fuyu country.

If you dare to send troops to support Gongsun Du and pose a threat to the territory of our Wei State, then if I want to deal with you, don't call yourself wronged.

What a good excuse to send troops.

And thinking about it, Yu Jin felt that since the Fuyu Kingdom had responded, it was hard to talk about the Goguryeo Kingdom, and speaking of it this way, it was very likely that the Gongsun clan asked them for help.

Well, that's also an excuse.

Yu Jin shook his head and did not agree to Zhang Fei's request to send troops.

Then, while sending people to closely monitor the military movements of Fuyu and Koguryo, they continued to step up their siege of Xinchang County.

According to what the Wei Empire knew before the war, Fuyu and Gaoguli were not simply small countries that could be destroyed easily.

Fuyu has a population of nearly 40, and Koguryo's population is only much larger than that of Fuyu.

Although these two countries cannot be compared with the Wei Empire in terms of national organization, they have the form of a formed country in various senses.

Whether it is the official system, the military system, the household registration system, taxation, or agricultural production, they all have the foundation of a feudal country.

They have officials, a relatively mature military organization, household registration statistics, and a tax system based on household registration statistics. Bronze or iron farm tools are used for agricultural production, and cattle farming is basically popularized. All aspects are no different from the Central Plains.

The difference is the country's cultural heritage and country size, which Gaoguli can't compare with the Central Plains Empire anyway.

Coincidentally, the same is true for Fuyu Country.

These two countries are very close to China, they have copied China in all aspects, and they have unusual performances in all aspects. Therefore, Guo Peng also considered the threat of these two countries when designing the pacification of Gongsundu.

On the side of the couch, no one else is allowed to sleep soundly.

The Eastern Han Dynasty had no spare energy to deal with these two countries, and these two countries themselves were also threatened by the Gongsun family and Xianbei, and their own development potential was not great.

But the situation is different now.

According to the specific analysis of the staff desk, Guo Peng learned that the current situation is completely different from the situation in the last years of the former Han Dynasty.

The Guowei Empire was born, and Xianbei was attacked by Guo Peng for many years in a row. Not to mention the two large-scale Northern Expeditions, there was also Zhang Fei, the terminator of Xianbei, who fought endlessly at the border for years.

In order to better attack the potential of the Xianbei people, Zhang Fei even tricked the Xianbei people to the border to fight. He used extermination methods to wipe out the Xianbei tribe, so that the prairie on the front line of Yanchang City was almost destroyed by Zhang Fei. It became a Xianbei vacuum belt.

Under such circumstances, the Xianbei tribe, which had been continuously migrating southward near the Great Wall since the early Eastern Han Dynasty, was forced to move northward on a large scale to avoid the continuous attacks of the Wei imperial army, and could not continue to threaten the border.

Because they couldn't stay any longer, the biggest worries of Fuyu and Gaoguli, which were also threatened by Xianbei, disappeared, giving them room for development.

In addition, if Guo Peng wants to wipe out Gongsundu and occupy Liaodong, they will further wipe out their enemy, and they will lose the biggest factor restricting their development.

Under such a situation, if Guo Peng learns from Sima Yi, leaves Liaodong, which is difficult to develop and bitterly cold, and relocates 30 Han people, then Liaodong will inevitably become a paradise for Koguryo and Buyeo, and they will definitely occupy the large-scale development of Liaodong. .

No threat in sight in the short term, but what about 50 years from now? What about 100 years from now?

It was the Central Plains Empire's lack of attention to the Northeast, various political struggles and transportation problems, and the collapse of the Central Plains after the Wei and Jin Dynasties that prevented the country from being unified for 400 years.

This situation led to Gaogouli having no main opponent. After Fuyu was eliminated, Gaoguli broke free from shackles and constraints, and continued to grow and develop in an extremely superior political environment.

For hundreds of years, the Central Plains fell, but Gaogouli was like a fish in water. It continued to annex the surrounding countries and tribes, and its population increased day by day.

They even absorbed a considerable number of immigrants from the Central Plains Han who fled, and obtained advanced technology and culture, so their productivity became stronger and stronger, and they became a powerful feudal regime.

By the time of the Sui Dynasty when the Central Plains Empire was unified again, Gaogouli, which had lost its checks and balances, had become a mature feudal country, and it had developed to the point where it was the overlord of the Northeast and had 60 soldiers.

This is not an imaginary number, but a real number.

Gaogouli in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was no longer a small frontier country in the Han Dynasty, but a giant beast in the Northeast, a giant beast stronger than Houjin in the Nurhachi and Huang Taiji periods.

Its national strength indicators are no longer the data of a normal small frontier country. In order to counter the military operations of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it can even build a "Great Wall of Thousand Miles" of its own.

The military, economy, politics, population, and productivity all have the strength to counter China to a certain extent, and the damage to the Sui and Tang Dynasties is even greater than that of the later Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because Gaoguli has such strength and is trying to infiltrate the North China region and conspire against the Central Plains Empire that it has caused the Central Plains Empire to be highly vigilant.

Therefore, the emperors of the four dynasties of the Sui and Tang dynasties mobilized the whole country's troops and horses many times at all costs, and tried their best to attack Gaogouli many times in succession, vowing to destroy Gaogouli.

At that time, Gaogouli was no longer the miserable and weak appearance that Gongsun Du can take care of now.

The times have changed.

The emperors of the two dynasties of the Sui Dynasty had several military strikes, which damaged hundreds of thousands of soldiers and millions of people, and even overdrawn the vitality of the Sui Dynasty. After spending a lot of time and a huge price, although Gaogouli Weary, but the Sui Empire itself was the first to fail.

Gaoguli dragged down the Sui Empire with its own strength.

So much so that it was not until the period of the Tang Empire that China finally got rid of the serious trouble of Gaogouli.

The whole process, nearly 70 years.

The intensity, the length of time span, the fierceness of the battle, the huge loss, and the twists and turns of the process are comparable to the sum of the twenty battles of Saarhu.

It's just that the ending is different.

After all, the Tang Empire took over the unfinished business of the Sui Empire. It took more than 30 years to try its best to eliminate Gaogouli, cut off the threat, and take back Liaodong.

It is conceivable that today's Northeast would not be China's Northeast if there were no continuous blows by the four emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties and the huge and heavy sacrifices made by the people.

Knowing the development prospects of these small countries once they lose their checks and balances, Guo will not allow them to continue to grow. Taking advantage of the current strength and confidence, he must eliminate them, annex them, assimilate them, and cut off future threats.

There are some things that Mr. Guo dare not leave to future generations, who knows what kind of constraints they will be subject to?

If you can do it, you must do it, and you must not waver.

Annexation, assimilation, one cannot be missing.

Eliminating Gaoguli and Fuyu, pacifying Sanhan and Yeji, leveling the Northeast, and setting up prefectures and counties for rule and assimilation will be his plan that will never change.

Chapter 885 .890 On that day, someone Guo is destined not to see

In order to cooperate with Guo's Northeast conquest plan, the three prefectures of Qingzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou are constantly transporting supplies and officials to the front line by sea.

While the war of conquest is going on, the rule here is about to begin.

The places that have been conquered must be occupied, governed, taxed, generated income, and provided with enough potential to be exploited, so that future generations will have no excuse to give up at will.
