The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 705 A bunch of dirty things!

"Mr. Guo, you have so many things to do, why did you come here in person?"

Hearing the question from the person in front of him, Guo Chang quickly lowered his head and said, "I'm here to inform General Zhenbei about everything. I learned that you are here too, so I came to see you specially."

Guanqiu Jian sat in the upper seat, looking at the humble county magistrate in front of him, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"Mr. Guo, do you know why His Majesty sent you here to serve as the county governor?"

Guo Chang quickly said, "Your Majesty hopes that I can hone my talents here so that I can assist the Holy King and usher in a prosperous era."

Guanqiu Jian nodded slightly. "That's true, but there are other reasons."

"Your ancestor, Marquis Zhenting of Weiyang, contracted a serious illness while in Youzhou, conquering the Wuhuan outside the Great Wall, and died young."

"Your Majesty has great respect for the many civil and military officials during the reign of Emperor Wu."

"When I first met His Majesty, he often asked about these people, hoping to be inspired by their virtues."

"He appointed you here as the county governor so that you could inherit the aspirations of your ancestors. You must become a meritorious and loyal minister like your ancestors. You must not let down their reputation."

Guo Chang trembled all over and quickly bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Da Sima, for clearing up my doubts. I will definitely do my best from now on and will never let you down!!"

Guanqiu Jian nodded and let him leave.

After he left, Zhang Te couldn't help but say: "I think this person is a bit power-hungry. He said he came to pay a visit to Yang Zhenbei, but in fact he came just to pay a visit to you. He may not be reused in the future."

Guanqiu Jian, however, asked, "Is there a perfect person in this world?"

"He was able to carefully arrange the Xianbei people he sent to Lelang and plan all the land reclamation matters. So far, there has been no mistakes, and everything is in order. Isn't he a wise man?"

"How can you easily say that he is not being reused?"

Zhang Te said with a smile, "Isn't the Grand Marshal a perfect man?"

Guanqiu Jian laughed and said, "I always enjoy hearing such flattery from you. How can you be considered a perfect person?"

Just as the two were chatting, Cheng Ji walked in hurriedly.

"Da Sima!! There's news!!"

Cheng Ji was very excited.

He has not been very lucky these days. He left the government and came here because he wanted to establish merit and make some achievements.

As a result, when he arrived, Tuoba had already been defeated.

Later I heard that we could wait for the loser group to determine the winner.

As a result, we have been waiting until now. I heard that the old villain Tuoba Liwei was sent to Luoyang to meet the emperor.

However, the outcome of the battle between Tuoba and Goguryeo has not yet been determined.

This made Cheng Ji very anxious, and he even wanted to help them fight.

What a loser these are. They can’t decide the winner after fighting for so long.

And today, things finally took a turn for the better!

Cheng Ji said excitedly: "Grand Marshal, the entire Goguryeo army collapsed. I heard that the Tuoba people adopted a new tactic and no longer rushed around like before. Tuoba Chuo pretended to be defeated several times, which made the Goguryeo king very happy. He lured the enemy to concentrate their forces to pursue him. Then he set an ambush in the valley and directly defeated the Goguryeo army. The Goguryeo king led the rest of the defeated soldiers to flee and dared not fight anymore."

Cheng Ji took out detailed information.

Guanqiu Jian watched calmly.

Judging from the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and the quality of the generals, the Tuoba tribe was stronger than Goguryeo, but the war took place in the territory of Goguryeo. The Tuoba tribe was not very familiar with the local area and had some difficulties in logistics, so the fighting was back and forth.

However, the King of Goguryeo tried to help Tuoba Chuo many times.

In the feudal era, the ability of the king was extremely important!

Like this ambush, several generals of Goguryeo advised their king not to pursue blindly, as the area ahead was perfect for an ambush. However, the King of Goguryeo refused to listen, saying that he wanted to wash away his previous shame!

He also ordered the arrest of generals who were unwilling to send troops, and planned to kill Tuoba Chuo and then come back to execute him.

As a result, after this round of charge, everything was lost.

Zhang Te looked at it and shook his head.

"Why does the Goguryeo king look so miserable?"

Guanqiu Jian cleared his throat and said, "This king is not the crown prince. Their crown prince had an accident a few years ago and died in battle."

"Oh~~~"

Zhang Te suddenly realized and secretly glanced at Guanqiu Jian.

He seemed to understand something.

Cheng Ji asked impatiently, "When will we set out to attack Tuoba?"

Guanqiu Jian frowned.

"Don't rush." "Don't rush? Isn't now the best time? If we don't rush to send troops, do we have to wait until they have reorganized their army and recruited local soldiers?"

Zhang Te was furious. He looked at the rude Cheng Ji in front of him and was about to scold him, but Guanqiu Jian stopped him.

He smiled and said:

"That's right, we need to give them some time to relax and let Tuoba Chuo reorganize his army and collect the local troops."

Cheng Ji was stunned.

But he didn't dare say anything more to Guanqiu Jian, and just left helplessly.

Guanqiu Jian said to Zhang Te, "We can start preparing for the expedition now. Once Tuoba Chuo is ready, we can dispatch the troops."

"Although Tuoba Chuo is good at military affairs, he is not good at politics. He still views various forces from the perspective of the Xianbei."

"After he defeats Goguryeo this time, he will definitely integrate Goguryeo's army, recruit them, and then use them as his vassal army to fight the enemy."

"This is an old tradition of the Xianbei people. However, Goguryeo is different from the Xianbei people."

Zhang Te looked at Guanqiu Jian standing aside. He always felt that the Grand Marshal looked a little sinister at the moment.

Guanqiu Jian began to prepare for the expedition.

In Goguryeo, Tuoba Chuo, who had just defeated the enemy, began to prepare to face Guanqiu Jian without stopping.

Although there are flat grasslands here, there are mostly high mountains and dense forests, and there are many places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Now that Tuoba Chuo has occupied this place, his idea is to absorb the power of Goguryeo as quickly as possible, eat it up in one bite, and then resist the attack of Guanqiu Jian.

He didn't think about fighting back against Guanqiu Jian, after all, he wasn't crazy yet.

His idea was simple, just to stop Guanqiu Jian's army.

He just didn't believe that the strong checkpoints built by Goguryeo, coupled with his elite soldiers and the captured supplies, could not withstand Guanqiu Jian's attack?
It is about to be the coldest time outside the Great Wall. Can Guanqiu Jian send troops in winter?
Even if he dares to send troops, how long can he confront me?
As long as he could withstand this wave of attacks, he would be able to develop in Goguryeo in the future. Goguryeo was such a good land. He could fight the savages on the peninsula, fight those small tribes that were not a force to be reckoned with, and even threaten Youzhou from many aspects!
These Goguryeo people are useless, so let me complete the great cause!

Tuoba Chuo, overflowing with confidence, started to formulate his own response plan.

He distributed the captured Goguryeo people to his many tribes and promoted nobles from among them as new leaders.

At the same time, they were given weapons and supplies, making them their vassal troops.

Everything was just as Guanqiu Jian said. This tradition of the Xianbei people continued for many years. Historically, when they later invaded the Central Plains, they still used this method, using the Xianbei people as armored soldiers and the Han people as vassal troops and brave men, mixing them in this way.

Because of this habit, they actually overturned their cars many times, but when they were ready to correct it, it was too late.
Before these Goguryeo people could react, they became soldiers of the Tuoba tribe.

They were very confused about this.

Several newly promoted leaders were also at a loss.

Soon, Tuoba Chuo began to set up a defense line. He also deliberately mixed the troops according to the old tradition. He placed Xianbei and Goguryeo people in various important positions around and let them fight together.

The captured Gao Chiran is now stationed at the front line with Tuoba Chuo and others.

The funny thing is that they did not speak the same language, so the nobles of the Tuoba tribe and the nobles of Goguryeo used the elegant language to communicate with each other.
Although Gao Chiran was captured, he was very dissatisfied with the Tuoba tribe.

In Goguryeo's eyes, these people were barbarians. After all, they were the king, so who were they?
The previous defeat was also due to their own reckless command. On the front lines, we were evenly matched. Why should we serve as your vassal army? You don't even allow us to wear armor. Aren't you sending us to our deaths?
Besides, who are we facing?

That’s Guanqiu Jian!!

You came to pick on us and beat us by some despicable means, and you even asked us to die for you and fight against Guanqiu Jian?
Gao Chiran quickly contacted those nobles and reached an agreement with them.

If Guanqiu Jian's army comes to attack, then we will fight with these people, open the city gates directly from the inside, and take the heads of these Xianbei thieves in exchange for military merit!
Since I can't defeat Guanqiu Jian anyway, I might as well just surrender to Guanqiu Jian!
Tuoba Chuo obviously didn't know much about these situations.

When Guanqiu Jian's army began to march, Tuoba Chuo realized something was wrong.

The attitude of the Goguryeo people was somewhat strange, and they even took the initiative to ask for a fight.

Tuoba Chuo hurriedly strengthened supervision over the Goguryeo people, but unfortunately, it was too late.

When Wen Yang and Cheng Ji led the vanguard troops to appear outside the two passes respectively, the Goguryeo people here rebelled directly. They fought with the Xianbei people guarding the city, and the Wei army easily broke through the pass and won the victory.

Then they marched straight in.

Guanqiu Jian divided his army into five groups and attacked Tuoba from five directions.

In just one month, Tuoba Chuo's army was defeated and had to spend all day suppressing the Goguryeo people. They were even more vulnerable when facing Guanqiu Jian.

After discovering that something was wrong, Tuoba Chuo immediately chose to follow the example of the King of Goguryeo.

He took his elite troops, turned around and fled in the direction where the King of Goguryeo was running.

Guanqiu Jian was unwilling to let him go easily and ordered his troops to continue the pursuit.

The King of Goguryeo had just stopped to rest when he saw the cavalry of Tuoba tribe chasing him from behind, and even more so the cavalry of Guanqiu Jian. He had no choice but to run away again.
But no matter which direction he ran, Tuoba Chuo always followed him closely.

This made the King of Goguryeo unable to help but curse.

A bunch of dirty things!!
