The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 614 doesn’t count
"I heard that you guys are building Maruto City again?"

Yang Hu looked at the prisoner in front of him and asked casually.

Gao Chiran raised his head. He was seriously injured and could hardly open his left eye. He looked at the armored general in front of him and probably knew his identity.

He was also in tears at this moment.

In the past, Goguryeo never took Wei, Xianbei and others seriously.

Gao Chiran's grandfather was King Gao Yanyou of the Mountains. After he ascended the throne, he was betrayed by his own brother. He believed that the betrayal was caused by the Han Dynasty, so he took the initiative to withdraw from the tribute system and prepared to attack the Han Dynasty to vent his anger.

In fact, when this man ascended the throne, the Later Han Dynasty had just defeated Dong Zhuo, and the princes were still fighting each other. No one had the energy to instigate rebellion in the deserted Goguryeo.

This is why he was able to break away from the tribute system. If he had gone any further, the Later Han Dynasty would have definitely sent troops to attack him.

The Later Han chose to ignore the behavior of the King of the Mountains because it was paralyzed at the moment and the princes in the north were still fighting and had no energy to pay attention to him.

This gave the Goguryeo people great confidence. They believed that they had defeated the Later Han Dynasty and had become a huge force like the original Xianbei alliance, a powerful force capable of competing with the Later Han Dynasty.

Later, the Mountain King planned another attack on the Later Han Dynasty and looted about a thousand refugees.

This action became a great military achievement of the King of the Mountain.

It was not until later that his son, King Dongchuan, who was Gao Chiran's father, came to power. When he came to power, Cao Wei had already risen, and it was in a super group mode, extremely powerful. Therefore, King Dongchuan did not dare to disrespect the Great Wei. He frequently sent envoys to communicate with the Great Wei. In order to express his loyalty, they also beheaded Hu Wei, the envoy sent by Sun Quan to convey the marriage, and sent his head to Luoyang.

Later, he sent troops to assist Cao Wei in pacifying the Liao area. The relationship between the two sides was very good. But in the later period, perhaps because he was old, or he misjudged the strength of Cao Wei, he began to send troops to plunder and invade.

Unfortunately, the governor of Youzhou at that time was Guanqiu Jian. His capital was lost and his clansmen were slaughtered. Later, his son, the current King of Goguryeo, Ranfu, ascended the throne.

This time, Yang Hu came to Youzhou and defeated the Yuwen tribe with great force, which aroused great vigilance of Goguryeo.

The current King of Goguryeo rebuilt the capital that was destroyed by Guanqiu Jian and began to recuperate.

When Yang Hu's letter was delivered to Gao Ranfu, Gao Ranfu was extremely frightened. He hurriedly sent his younger brother Gao Chiran to take some people who had fled from Liao to Yang Hu and leave them with him to show his closeness and harmlessness.

However, the Goguryeo people had some kind of hatred towards the Wei Dynasty. When Gao Chiran was leading the refugees to Liao, he saw a Wei general with only dozens of cavalrymen on the way, and a very sinister idea came to his mind.

He wanted to kill these people and then go to Yang Hu as if nothing had happened.

There is no one around here. As long as we can kill them, no one will know what happened here.

His idea was just due to years of hatred.

But the person he met was Wen Yang who was chasing the enemy chief.

When he launched the charge, Wen Yang caught him alive and held him in his hands. He immediately ordered his cavalry to surrender and never dared to oppose him again.

At this moment, facing Yang Hu's question, Gao Chiran trembled, a trace of grievance appeared on his face, and he said pitifully: "General, this is all a misunderstanding!"

Yang Hu ignored him and asked again, "Who is Gao Ranfu to you?"

"He's my brother."

"Oh, the younger brother of the current King of Goguryeo, wants to kill General Pyeongbei in the imperial court."

Yang Hu looked at him deeply and said, "You have brought disaster upon your brother and the whole clan."

Gao Chiran's face turned pale. He never thought that he would meet such a monster. He was famous for his bravery in Goguryeo, and even his brothers praised his martial arts.

He himself led troops in battle for a long time, and the savages were driven away in all directions, and he never met an opponent.

He was clearly a young pretty boy, just a little taller. Who would have thought that he couldn't even last one round!

He hurriedly defended himself, "General, I'm here to return those bandits! I encountered cavalry on the road and mistakenly thought they were bandits trying to rob me, so I led my troops to attack. I had no idea they were Wei generals! I've never been to Wei before, and I don't know how Wei generals dress. I'm being wronged!"

He spoke with great sincerity, his words filled with sorrow.

Duan Qizhen, standing by, sneered, "You can speak elegant Chinese and even recognize characters, but you can't even recognize the flag we're flying?!"

"Besides, when you led the troops to charge, what were your men shouting?! Do you think I can't understand your words? Your men were clearly shouting to kill Wei..."

Wen Yang glanced at him and said, "Just tell me what you want to say."

Duan Qizhen then continued, "Kill Wei Gou."

Wen Yang was furious. He grabbed the man's neck and lifted him up. "I'm going to kill you, you dog!"

Just as Wen Yang was about to throw the other person to death, Yang Hu persuaded him to stop.

"This man is still of great use and cannot be killed."

Wen Yang left him behind again, but he was furious.

Yang Hu had no choice but to let Duan Qizhen take Wen Yang away first, leaving Gao Chiran alone.

"Many years ago, your father plundered and provoked the Wei Kingdom. His royal city was breached, and his entire clan was exterminated. Even now, your brothers dare not disrespect us, yet you want to kill General Pingbei and murder the relatives of the Wei Kingdom." "What a crime! How much military merit can we gain by suppressing you?"

Hearing Yang Hu's words, Gao Chiran just pleaded, "General, I really don't know!"

Yang Hu glanced at him and said, "The truth of this matter depends on how I tell His Majesty. You may not know that the man you want to kill is His Majesty's nephew-in-law."

Gao Chiran's eyes twitched. He was silent for a long time, and seemed to understand Yang Hu's meaning. "Then, General, can you please show mercy to our men?"

"That depends on your brother."

"I am a person who has always been clear about gratitude and resentment."

Seeing Yang Hu's appearance, Gao Chiran couldn't help but curse in his heart, what a corrupt official!

This guy clearly wants to ask for a bribe from me!

Unexpectedly, the officials of Wei State are no different from our own officials!
Gao Chiran cursed in his heart, but his mood was much lighter. He quickly smiled and said, "My brother is also very willing to meet the general!"

Yang Hu smiled and said, "I am currently guarding Youzhou and other places. It would be great if I could get to know your brother. You can inform your brother about this through a letter."

"sure!!"

After Gao Chiran was taken away, the smile on Yang Hu's face immediately disappeared.

He took out a piece of paper from the side and started writing it down quickly.

The situation inside and outside Youzhou is still quite bad. After the Goguryeo people had their capital captured once, they have not let go of their hatred for the Wei State and are still expanding their territory.

He needed to establish contact with the Goguryeo people and understand his current opponent as soon as possible.

I heard that the Wu Kingdom has a new emperor. I think the time to pacify the Wu Kingdom is almost here. After the unification, there will be more things to do here.

Jianye.

"My dear friends."

Sun Hao looked at the ministers around him, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

He was a rather shy person, and was reluctant to speak up when encountering certain issues. The ministers in front of him all kept their heads down, and many of them did not dare to open their eyes.

Sun Hao said, "I have thought about this for a long time. There are only a few women in my harem, which is too few. I plan to enrich my harem and get more beauties. I don't need too many, just a few hundred will do."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji immediately expressed his opposition.

"Your Majesty!! You have just ascended the throne, how could you do such a thing? Moreover, seizing hundreds of women is definitely not something a Saint King can do!!"

Hearing the old general's words, Sun Hao was not angry at all. He was very polite to these old generals and old ministers.

He explained, "I understand what you are talking about, General. Please do not worry. I am also aware of the hardships faced by the people back home. Therefore, I have no intention of seizing women from the common people. I plan to have all the ministers with salaries of 2,000 stones send their daughters to the palace. I will first examine them. Those who are not suitable for the examination can have their families arrange for marriages. The rest will all remain. I plan to marry the daughters of these ministers. In this way, it will not be considered as seizing women from the common people. What do you think, old general?"

Shi Ji was stunned.

You and I.
"Alright, since my dear ministers have no objection, then this matter is settled!"

Sun Hao waved his hand without waiting for the reaction of his ministers. Shi Ji was quite helpless. The old general, who had already despaired, awakened again after Sun Hao came to power.

Unfortunately, Sun Hao did not meet Shi Ji's expectations. Well, actually it's not that he did not meet them. Sun Hao seemed to have given Shi Ji everything he wanted.

Stop the project, reward the soldiers, reduce taxes and levies, and provide relief to refugees. However, this is really too cruel.

"Everyone! Drink to your heart's content! Today, you must drink at least twenty cups of wine! You must drink at least seven liters! If you don't drink enough, you are disrespecting me! You must drink seven liters!"

When Zhongshu Pushe Wei Yao heard this, his hands began to tremble. He had a very poor alcohol tolerance and never drank.

After drinking a few cups, Wei Yao felt dazed and began to stagger all over.

Suddenly, he felt someone standing in front of him, but he didn't dare to look up.

"Lord Wei, come here. I give you some good wine! Drink seven liters!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

Wei Yao took the wine cup tremblingly, closed his eyes, and drank it all in one gulp.

Um? ?

Tea? ?

After Wei Yao swallowed it, he realized that it was not wine, but tea. Sun Hao had already left with a smile.

Wei Yao simply bowed again, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."

Sun Hao, however, had already returned to his seat, gulping down a glass of wine. Since he couldn't drink alcohol, he'd just drink tea. Anyway, as long as he could make up seven liters, it would be fine!
