Ding Ling's troops and soldiers from the Marini team pushed the chicken bus and lined up to the granary of Baiyan City one by one, and then returned one by one with a full load.

When Li Chongjiu and the generals saw this full of food and grass, they all felt that this trip was worthwhile. As the saying goes, it is not easy to come to Liaodong, and you cannot be lenient. You can grab as much as you can. Anyway, the reinforcements in Liaodong City have been defeated by Li Chongjiu, and Liaodong City will not dare to make any more noises from now on. Yuan Gaisuwen's main force in the eastern part is also on the southern line, so there is nothing to worry about.

So Li Chongjiu released all the cavalry and scattered to various cities in Goguryeo to raid. All cities in Liaodong were in a hurry and warned, and the war was immediately ripped in the sky.

Li Chongjiu stayed in Baiyan City for three days, and then felt that it was almost done and began to return to the army.

Because there is a lot of food and grass, there is not enough chickens and buses. As expected, the sacks of each soldier were also useful. Li Chongjiu ordered that anyone with a horse carries five stones of rice and grain, while the soldiers carry three stones of rice and grain, and in short, no grain of rice can be left.

The cavalry brought all the food that was robbed. As for the captured Goguryeo soldiers and people, there were more than 20,000 people, and they also brought them south together. These Goguryeo people were captured and left their hometowns, and many of them looked sad.

Along the way, Li Chongjiu's army walked slowly and walked around the cities in Liaodong. Above the city, the Goguryeo Army saw that Li Chongjiu's huge army was like an armed parade. The soldiers in the whole city shrank in the city and did not dare to fight. At the same time, they trembled and hoped that Li Chongjiu would leave quickly and leave his territory.

Finally, Li Chongjiu led his army across the Liao River and returned to Liaodong, and the journey went smoothly.

But afterwards, I heard that Goguryeo was against Lu Yizhi Wende, who personally led three mattresses from the southeast, north and south to rush back from the southern line against Silla, as well as two reinforcements from the Marine and Khitans, a total of 150,000 troops, chasing behind Li Chongjiu. When the vanguard cavalry chased to the edge of the Liao River, Li Chongjiu's army had crossed the river for two days, and he couldn't even sigh.

Li Chongjiu's new victory over Goguryeo not only brought Li Chongjiu's prestige in the grassland, but also shocked the various Liaodong tribes, especially the Khitan and Mohe tribes that swung left and right between the Sui and Liao. They suddenly realized that the Cangtou Army, which seemed to be able to fight against Goguryeo now.

Especially the Sui Mori, the Sui Mori split during the Sui Dynasty, and suddenly one of them was attached to the Sui Court. The other tribes depended on Goguryeo, but the Goguryeo people had always been not very good at the Sui Dynasty, and they forced them to pay ginseng, mink, famous horses, northern pearls, handsome eagles, beeswax, linen cloth, etc.

Therefore, under this oppression, many Sumo and Mohe tribes wanted to deviate from Goguryeo. This time they saw the sudden use of Li Chongjiu's army, especially this time they gave generous rewards to the Liaoxi Marines and the pensions of the fallen soldiers. They also saw how sincere Li Chongjiu was to wait for the people of the Marines.

So the members of the tribe were inspired by sudden cunning,

When Li Chongjiu's army returned to the Liaoshui River, there were three Sumo and Mohe tribes with no less than a thousand people, who rushed from afar to Tudiji and asked to cross Henan and migrate south together. The largest of them was even as many as 3,000 people. In addition, there were many Dingling clans who came to Nantou to rely on Cui Xu. After the two reported to Li Chongji, Li Chongji asked them to settle their new clan members in Liaoxi County.

Afterwards, Li Chongjiu's army passed through the White Wolf Water Valley and arrived in Liucheng. The generals of the foreigners began to divide the spoils. Li Chongjiu still took half of his own as before, and all the rest were scattered to the foreigners. As for the more than 20,000 Goguryeo people captured by him, the generals of the foreigners hoped that Li Chongjiu could continue to give them to them as slaves, but this time Li Chongjiu did not consider this.

Li Chongjiu's decision was to place these Goguryeo people in the two counties of Shanggu and Yanmen. These two counties have not yet recovered from the destruction during many wars. Therefore, they are extremely short of population and labor, and many of the fields are deserted. Therefore, Li Chongjiu decided to let these Goguryeo people settle down in the two counties.

As soon as Li Chongjiu mentioned this opinion, he was opposed by all generals. Most of the opponents were Han generals. They believed that over the past few decades, the Goguryeo and Han people had fought each other to form a great enemy. Before, Li Chongjiu did not kill them, it was a great blessing to survive. You must know that they killed all the prisoners of the Sui army and built them into Jingguan.

They were careful to place the Goguryeo people as people, and they might raise tigers in the future and bite Li Chongjiu.

But Li Chongjiu had no such concern. In history, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, the people of Goguryeo were moved from southeast Liao to the Central Plains to resettle.

History has proved the Han culture and had a strong assimilation effect. These Goguryeo people gradually became sinicized. The Tang Dynasty not only did not guard against them, but also valued the very good fighter Goguryeo people. In the mid-Tang Dynasty, the Goguryeo Warrior Group was an important combat force in the Tang army as a "multi-national force" at that time.

During the An Lushan Rebellion, Goguryeo warriors such as Wang Sili were loyal to the Tang Dynasty and fought fiercely with the rebels. The most famous Goguryeo general was Gao Xianzhi, the world's leading general at that time.

Therefore, Li Chongjiu decided to move these Goguryeo people south to Shanggu and Yanmen counties. This matter was handled by Zhao Wansan, Chen Ke and Gao Chu.

Li Chongjiu decided to organize these Goguryeo people into military households and farm according to oral land, but there is no need to pay taxes. On the Shanggu and Yanmen, two seasons of wheat can be planted. I believe that the Goguryeo people will live a better life than in Liaodong, and what they did was to serve. Once they were called, they had to fight for the army for Li Chongjiu.

The Goguryeo people heard that Li Chongjiu did not sell them as slaves, but after becoming military households, they could not speak, because this was the greatest grace for them.

After returning to Ji County, all officials came outside the city to congratulate Li Chongjiu on his victory over Goguryeo and returned to Liaodong, but only Wei Zheng was not.

Hearing that the county magistrate Wei Zheng was ill at home, Li Chongjiu knew it and rewarded the three armies in Ji County, but that night he came to Wei Zheng's mansion in person.

When Li Chongjiu came to Wei Zheng's mansion, Wei Zheng was wearing clothes to revise the official documents.

Li Chongjiu didn't want his servants to report, so he went into the mansion and said, "Why should the Minister of Wei work hard?"

Wei Zheng looked up at Li Chongjiu, but did not speak and continued to correct the official documents. Li Chongjiu hit a soft nail and was very happy. He was not polite at the moment. He directly picked up the drink on Wei Zheng's table and drank it, and looked at the official documents that Wei Zheng had revised.

Wei Zheng wrote another article before he put down his pen and said, "Please forgive me for your crime. Wei doesn't like to chat with others when handling official duties."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Why is the Wei County Magistrate today not there?"

Wei Zheng said with a shaking beard: "Don't you want to hear the truth or lies."

"But it's okay."

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "Duke Shanggu, do you remember the words you and I talked about when you summoned me?"

"Remember."

Wei Zhengyan said, "At that time, I told you that the reason why I abandoned Duke Wei and surrendered to you Duke Shanggu was that Li Mi did not accept my words and I had no choice but to show my ambitions. Now that I have been to Zhuo County for a year, Meng was appointed as the county magistrate. I thought the Shanggu Guild thought I was worthy and obeyed my words. Unexpectedly, Wei had proposed to set up a charity warehouse and set up a charity warehouse for many times, but Duke Shanggu did not adopt it."

Speaking of this, Wei Zhengyan said, "How is this different from Li Mi treating me at the beginning? I have no choice but to show my ambitions. I really don't want to continue this county magistrate."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Is it possible that the Wei County Chief Just to Show Ambitions?"

Wei Zheng was silent for a while and said, "A real man does not take the word "fame and fortune". I don't like profit, but I also want to leave a name in history to comfort my life.

Li Chongjiu thought to himself that this famous minister in history had such thoughts. Could this famous minister in history be a person who was seeking fame and selling his reputation?

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng paused and said, "Envoy Li, I know that everyone in Zhuo County praised Wei as a capable official, a cadre, and diligent in handling affairs. Except for only two hours of sleep a day, they all work in the yamen. If they knew that Wei was a famous person, would they see me clearly?"

Li Chongjiu also looked distressed when he saw Wei Zheng, and said immediately: "A friend of mine once told me that you should benefit the people when you are an official. What are the concerns of countless Wei County Magistrates, but you are in his position and work diligently. This is what everyone sees, just for the benefit of the people. What's wrong with this? Whether it is love for the name or the people, are you right?"

After hearing this, Wei Zheng suddenly said, "Mencius said that the people are the most important, and the country is the second best, and the king is the least. As an official, one should think of benefiting the country. Even if Wei loves fame, he will only be for the people and for the country, why care about others? Shanggu Gong's words really made Wei suddenly realize it, and he was really ashamed."

Li Chongjiu laughed loudly after hearing this.

Wei Zheng uncovered his heart and said immediately: "In this way, Wei must stick to his own opinions. Setting up a winery privately and using grain as wine is to waste the granary and neglect the people's livelihood, and not set up a charity warehouse. In the future, natural disasters will inevitably lead to the people's suffering. Therefore, whether for themselves or for the people, Wei must let Shanggu Gong and agree to Wei's request."

Li Chongjiu thought about it and said, "What Wei County Magistrate said makes sense. In the past, he did not set up a charity warehouse, but was worried that he would not have enough grain. Now that I have broken Liaodong, I can only use 40,000 troops for half a year to seize the grain for half a year, and the military rations are no longer worry-free. In this case, the Wei County Magistrate might as well use two-thirds of the rice and grain in the Zhuo County Grain Store as a charity warehouse. As for one-third of the rice, it is used to buy food at a level."

The order of placing a stable price, and the rule of placing a plague is to buy rice and grain in the year of good fortune and sell rice and grain in the year of disaster.

This was used by Li Ku in the Wei Kingdom during the Warring States Period. It was used to protect farmers and suppress merchants, to crack down on hoarding and prevent the high price of rice from hurting the people and the lowly ones. If the people are injured, they will be separated. If the farmers are injured, they will be poor.

After hearing this, Wei Zheng jumped up and clasped his fists and said, "That's it. The gentleman of Shanggu said a quick word and whipped it, so you must not regret it."

Seeing Wei Zheng looking worried that he would regret it, Li Chongjiu laughed and said, "As the saying goes, you can only be a good person if you make money. If I were short of food in the past, I dare not agree like this, but now I have a lot of food and grass, so Wei Junzhu will let it go!"
