Chapter 455: Swallowing the Country! [Subscribe]

The brocade box that Gao Nanwu was still holding in his hand before his death was taken into Zhang Liao's hands.

The national seal of Goguryeo.

It was a square seal carved from white jade.

It is half the size of a palm, with a coiled dragon engraved on it. The dragon's claws below are resting on the highest mountain in Goguryeo, symbolizing the control of the mountains and rivers.

Zhang Liao exerted force with his hands, and the national seal of Goguryeo shattered.

Kill the ruler of a country and break the national seal that is used to fight for royal power.

Suddenly, a tiger-like roaring sound came out from Zhang Liao's body, his body orifices vibrated, and his martial energy boiled.

On the battlefield, Gao Shun seemed to have also gained some military luck, and there were also military forces overflowing from his body.

high altitude.

An iron-backed, gray-feathered eagle stared at the battlefield below with its sharp eyes.

The eagle was Cao Cao's divided divine consciousness, and it came to watch the battle.

As soon as Gao Nanwu died, Cao Cao got the hint of the entry.

At this moment, in his study, the imperial seal was also vibrating and a purple halo was flowing.

There are also signs that the Emperor Dragon will absorb the country's destiny and evolve again.

Of course, Goguryeo has not yet been destroyed, but its ruler has died and its fortunes are declining.

Maru city.

Two days ago, after Gao Nanwu left, Gao Yanyou returned to the mansion.

The team of palace guards arranged by Gao Nanwu who followed him were ambushed as soon as they returned to the palace.

Some soldiers and a team of people in black rushed out together and attacked the palace guards arranged by Gao Nanwu.

Gao Yanyou knew that his brother wanted to deal with him.

He also made preparations in secret and secretly connected some civil and military officials.

The reason why he asked Xu Tianyou to collect the pair of beauties was to win over a general with special hobbies.

Xu Tianyou had been in contact with him for more than a year, using Cao Wei's powerful intelligence system to find out what kind of people Gao Yanyou had managed, so that when he pretended to replace him, he could take over these people without revealing any flaws.

At this time, Gao Yanyou mobilized this group of people to clear out the palace guards who were following them first.

Among those who rushed out to kill the palace guards, there were several highly skilled people. No one knew their origins, and they were just thought to be skilled fighters secretly trained by Gao Yanyou.

In fact, he was a member of Cao Wei, who took the opportunity to sneak in and help Xu Tianyou succeed.

Zhang Liao led his troops to kill Gao Nanwu, while Gao Yanyou stayed in Marundu City and eliminated dissidents.

evening.

Gao Yanyou's residence.

He sat at the first seat in the hall and looked around.

Below him, divided into two rows on the left and right, sat more than thirty people of various appearances. They were all Goguryeo generals and ministers who stayed in Marundu.

Half of these people were abandoned by Gao Nanwu.

It is also a neutral faction of Goguryeo.

These people did not firmly support Gao Nanwu, so he took the opportunity to keep them in Marudu. He wanted to use the Wei army to clean up these people and consolidate his royal power.

"I just received news that my brother was ambushed by the Wei army and died on the way to retreat eastward."

Gao Yanyou's voice was low and lazy, which made the heads of Goryeo civil and military officials buzz.

The king is dead!

There was a commotion in the hall.

Gao Yanyou continued, "All the clan members who accompanied them were beheaded, leaving no one alive."

"Since my brother's death, I have become the only heir to the royal family, the new king of Goguryeo."

Two days after Gao Nanwu left, the entire city was in the midst of a bloody purge, completing the initial transfer of power.

As for the remaining people, the situation is under Gao Yanyou's control.

He needs the support of these people to expand his power.

"We are willing to support the new king."

Everyone in the hall had no other choice and quickly reached a consensus.

Gao Yanyou: "The Wei army is just outside the city."

“It has only been a few days since the start of the war, and the Wei army has already defeated our main forces in the west and north.

What do you think will happen if we continue to fight?"

This is an obvious and brutal question.

If the war continues, Goguryeo will be destroyed.

Combined with the experience of surrounding tribes, such as the Three Han in the south, the entire population will be forced into hard labor, the powerful will be beheaded, and the country's name will be eliminated.

"If we continue to fight, the city will be destroyed and people will die."

Gao Yanyou continued: "For the sake of the continuation of Goguryeo, I am willing to put aside the hatred of my clan being slaughtered by the Wei people and lead you all to surrender to Wei!"

One minister was worried and said, "The Wei people have always been cruel in killing foreigners.

The three states of Han along the coast were defeated by Wei, and most of the people were forced to do hard labor, while officials and dignitaries were left with almost no survivors.

Even if we surrender to Wei, they will not let us go. It is better to break out and head east, where we still have a chance to survive."

Gao Yanyou had a blank expression on his face. The person who surrendered was not the right one, so the Wei Dynasty would certainly not accept him.

I am here to preside over the surrender, it is the order of His Majesty. Consume Goryeo and strengthen our Wei. By the time you react, it will be too late... Xu Tianyou thought:
"I have sent a letter of surrender to Wei. Wei has agreed to accept our surrender and promised not to kill people indiscriminately."

At this time, probably no one in Goguryeo realized what this surrender meant.

That night, an imperial decree announcing the new king's succession to the throne was issued from Maru City and delivered to all parts of Goguryeo.

The next day.

Outside the city of Marundu, Le Jin, on behalf of the Wei Dynasty, accepted the letter of surrender presented by Gao Yanyou, who came out in person to open the city and ask for surrender.

The two of them exchanged glances and both smiled meaningfully.

Two days later, Queen Yu was sent back to Marundo.

At that time on the battlefield, Yu fell off his horse and was injured.

She thought she was going to die, but unexpectedly she found a way out and had a chance to survive.

Keeping her would be of great use.

There were many cities in the south and northeast of Goguryeo, all under the control of the Yu clan. The Yu clan was the largest foreign relative power in Goguryeo.

Gao Yanyou needs the help of his eldest sister-in-law.

"Before the Wei people let me go, they said that you saved my life in exchange for surrender?" Yu glanced at Gao Yanyou and said gratefully.

"My Goguryeo is facing the disaster of genocide. You must help me stabilize the situation in various places."

Gao Yanyou said: "We must not allow any more unrest after surrendering to Wei."

Yu cried and said, "I advised your brother to surrender to Wei at the beginning, but he refused, saying that Wei wanted to kill him. Now he has been killed by someone."

After weighing the pros and cons, Yu softened his tone and began to put the blame on Gao Nanwu.

Surrendering to Wei and stabilizing the situation in Goryeo to prevent further unrest was their only way to survive.

[Your generals Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Le Jin led the troops to defeat the various tribes of Goguryeo and killed its leader Gao Nanwu. The spy Xu Tianyou has taken control of the Goguryeo kingship.]

[Goguryeo had five counties, 69.7 cities, counties and towns, about 348.5 households, and a total population of about million]

The hint of the entry flitted by.

Cao Cao was somewhat surprised at the large population of Goguryeo.

During this period, the population of Wakoku and Buyeo was smaller than that of Goguryeo.

After conquering Japan, only a few hundred thousand slaves were obtained.

In the northeast, Goguryeo annexed surrounding tribes one after another and developed rapidly. Its population now equaled that of a core prefecture of the Wei Dynasty.

Its population is even larger than that of Liaodong.

It makes sense that later dynasties such as the Sui and Tang dynasties waged war against Goguryeo many times and wanted to destroy its country.

Yecheng.

Cao Cao sat in his official study, thinking about what to do next, controlling Goguryeo and using its population and resources to provide blood supply to the Wei Dynasty.

You can cut meat continuously.

Zhang Liao killed the King of Goryeo, but did not succeed in breaking through the mythical realm.

He sent a message to Cao Cao for instructions, wanting to continue heading northeast to attack the Yiluo tribe, which was adjacent to Goguryeo.

Yiluo originated from the Sushen tribe during the Qin and Han dynasties.

The Sushen was quite powerful in those days, but was later suppressed by Buyeo and Goguryeo, and went downhill, and was no longer considered a strong enemy.

Cao Cao thought about it and agreed to let Zhang Liao continue to use troops to attack Yilou.

After annexing these foreign ethnic groups, destroying their writing systems, promoting Chinese cultural education, and castrating their history, after two or three generations, this ethnic group will completely disappear and be thoroughly assimilated.

They themselves will no longer admit that they are foreigners.

This is the horror of brainwashing with knowledge. Sometimes it is more effective than killing and can erase the stigma of an ethnic group from the root without leaving even the slightest trace.

Cao Cao looked at the map.

The later Tang Dynasty destroyed more than thirty countries, large and small, and allowed more than two hundred countries to pay tribute.

Wang Changling has a poem called "The emperor ordered me to ride on the starry sky and seal my precious sword. I left you and took Loulan in one night."

There is also the line "The palace gates of the Nine Heavens were opened, and people from all nations dressed in formal attire bowed to the crown" to describe the grand occasion at that time.

Military, economy, diplomacy, and culture, using these two poems as a reference, you will know what a prosperous age is.

Today, the Wei Dynasty also has the military power to launch lightning attacks and destroy neighboring countries overnight.

Cao Wei thought: With the population labor of Goryeo and the gold and silver mining and shipbuilding of Japan, there are many things that can be done.

He walked out of the study and returned to the inner house, where he saw Zhen Mi and Diao Chan gathered in Yu Qing's yard.

In July, the weather is hot.

A few days ago, Cao Cao asked someone to use honey, milk, water, add fruit pieces, and freeze them.

There was a special ice cellar in the palace, where ice was taken in winter and stored for use in summer.

Cao Cao made some popsicles from the Han Dynasty. When it was hot in summer, he would take one out and eat it, which would cool him down.

Several concubines were enjoying the cool air in the courtyard at dusk, and each of them took a popsicle and licked it happily.

Red, fat, green, thin, the yard is full of delicate colors.

"Eating too many popsicles will cause severe coldness."

Cao Cao stepped forward, snatched the popsicles that Diao Chan and Yu Qing had not finished eating, and ate them himself.

When Zhen Mi saw that their popsicles had been confiscated, she quickly gave hers to Yin who was drooling over it.

Cao Cao's eyes swept over.

The women were all wearing thin clothes, and all that could be seen were their slim waists and long legs.

"I'm going out for a walk these few days, who's going with you?"

The girls' eyes immediately lit up and they all wanted to go.

"See who can do squats better, and those with better physical strength will be given priority."

In the evening, Cao Cao practiced the weight-bearing capacity of his legs.

With his practice, he can squat thousands of times easily.

From the special show in Yu Qing's palace to Du Xiu Niang, and finally falling asleep in Diao Chan's bedroom.

early morning.

Diao Chan woke up in a daze and felt Cao Cao's arm loosely around her waist. A warm feeling surged in her heart.

Boss Cao's face was almost buried in her hair, and his warm breath brushed over her earlobes.

The night is peaceful.

Diao Chan turned around, and in the dim light coming in from the window, she looked at the sleeping Cao Cao with her star-like eyes.

His strong facial lines and angular lips perfectly highlight his strong character.

What Diao Chan liked most was Boss Cao's eyes and his calm and composed demeanor.

Her eyes brightened, and she quietly stretched out her porcelain-like hand and moved it slowly.

Cao Cao took a breath and opened his eyes.

The female demon wanted to steal Tang Monk's flesh in the middle of the night.

Cao Cao had to teach her a lesson.
