There are many hilly and mountainous areas in central Goguryeo, which greatly slowed down the marching speed of the Qingzhou army.

Li Yuan was very helpless about this and rushed to stop five miles outside the domestic city today.

The army was exhausted from rushing on the road for several days. Li Yuan waved his hand and asked everyone to rest on the spot.

At the same time, five thousand cavalrymen were ordered to be alert from all directions.

Along the way, they had encountered many Goguryeo militia who hit stones with eggs, captured some and killed some.

I originally thought that I would encounter a lot of resistance when I arrived at the domestic city, but I didn't expect that the other party has not made any moves so far and just closed the city gate.

However, it is not difficult to see from the green smoke looming on the city tower that the other party has prepared rolling stone hot oil for them.

Putting down the telescope, Li Yuan's mouth tilted lightly.

"The Supreme Emperor, it seems that the other party has prepared a lot. He is planning to hold on and wait for support."

A look of tragic expression flashed in Li Daozong's eyes and said, "They probably never thought that we would attack the eight major cities in Goguryeo at the same time, and they wanted someone to support them. Humph, but they didn't expect that other cities would be too busy to take care of themselves."

Li Yuan smiled and handed him the telescope, teasing: "This domestic city is the largest majestic city in Goguryeo. It has 50,000 regular guards and 30,000 new recruits in the reserve. Why do you need any support?"

Li Daozong was stunned for a moment, obviously disbelief. If there were really 80,000 people, why were he afraid of only 50,000 people?

Li Yuan glanced at him and explained: "A 50,000 royal city army suddenly appeared in Liaodong City, and King Rongliu Gao Jianwu also died in Liaodong City. In other words, there are only 30,000 new recruits left in the domestic city. Haha, what else can you say they don't defend the city?"

"Yes, why did I forget this? The 50,000 royal city army is no longer there, and there are only 30,000 new soldiers left in the city."

Li Daozong's expression moved, he clenched his fist with his right hand and blew it down his chest, asking for battle at Li Yuan, and said, "The Supreme Emperor, I am willing to lead 10,000 troops to capture the domestic city for you."

"Hahaha, it's still a little bit more than ten thousand. The reason why I let the entire army rest is to gather all the troops and take down the domestic city in one fell swoop..."

"The Supreme Emperor, General Li, my husband has an urgent telegram!"

Behind the two, a special forces member ran over, carrying a communications station on his back, and the dried fish-like antenna swayed in the wind.

"Oh?" Li Yuan turned his head and looked at it, hurriedly took the walkie-talkie from the person's hand.

"Old man, can you hear it?" Xi Yunfei's unpolite voice came immediately.

Li Daozong, who was listening to the side, couldn't help but twitch his cheeks. The only one in the Tang Dynasty who dared to talk to Li Yuan like this was probably the only one who dared to talk to Li Yuan like this.

Li Yuan didn't care much, and responded casually: "You guy, let go of your farts."

Li Daozong pursed his lips, his expression full of envy. By seniority, he wanted to call Li Yuan "Uncle", but Li Yuan was not as friendly to his nephew, so why don't you say it's annoying?

"Old man, I heard you have arrived in the domestic city?"

"Um."

"That's good. Have a night off. Tomorrow I will let Captain Sun fight for your power forward and win the domestic city within one day."

Li Yuan frowned slightly, paused, and said in a narrow voice: "Haha, why are you so embarrassed? I don't have so much spare money to hire you."

"Haha, the old man was joking. It hurts his feelings when talking about money. This time I took it for free, and after the city was broken, I will not charge any of the gains."

"Oh? Why are you so embarrassed?" Li Yuan looked at Li Daozong unexpectedly, and the latter was also surprised.

You should know that the military rations given to them all cost money, and the accompanying special forces team members were also hired at half price. In addition to the correspondents who did not need money, ordinary team members were 20 stalemates a day and 50 stalemates a day, and the team leader level was 50 stalemates a day.

I heard that Asuna Nier was fortunate to get help from Liu Qingtian, but Li Yuan was envious of it. Because it happened just so Xi Yunfei did not charge Asuna Nier a penny of employment fee.

Speaking of which, Liu Qingtian's appearance fee starts from 100 yuan, and will not be capped.

At that time, Asuna Tuli spent three million yuan to hire fifty people from Xi Yunfei, of which Liu Qingtian alone accounted for more than half of the employment costs. Of course, the asking price was a bit weak at that time.

The reason why Ashinatuli was willing to spend so much money was due to Xi Yunfei's repeated efforts to retreat Jie Li's army.

"Old man, we have to fight quickly. Stop dying. Uncle Cheng and I discussed it for a while. We planned to build a huge smelting workshop near Liaodong City, and we were just in need of a large number of laborers to mine ore."

"Good, what kind of smelting workshop is being organized in Goguryeo?"

"What Goguryeo? Will there be Goguryeo in the future?" Xi Yunfei's voice was a little surprised, and his tone was mocking.

Li Yuan was stunned at first, then raised his thick eyebrows and laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, it's me who is obsessed with it. Goguryeo. From now on, there are only eight counties in Liaodong in this world, hahahaha..."

There was obviously a laughter opposite the intercom, and there were more than one person. Li Yuan could hear it clearly, including Cheng Yaojin's gong voice and two more implicit laughters, which should be Qin Qiong and Li Jie.

Xi Yunfei continued, "Old man, time is endless. I will leave it to my people to attack the domestic city this time. They will hand over a complete domestic city to you. At that time, you just need to clear the battlefield. It is true that you can send the mining people here as soon as possible!"

"Boy, I'm so anxious. I don't know what kind of smelting workshop you are building..."

Li Yuan exchanged a few more greetings with Xi Yunfei, then ended the call and returned the walkie-talkie to the correspondent, Li Yuan pulled Li Daozong and began to arrange tomorrow's siege assistance matters.

And at the same time, Xiuyan small mountain village.

Xi Yunfei put away his phone and looked at the map on the desktop with a smile.

"Uncle Cheng, as expected, the domestic city will be taken down tomorrow. Goguryeo will basically die in name only. Where will your people go?"

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong were talking. Upon hearing this, he frowned and replied: "After all, they are going to farm in a foreign land, and many farmers are not very willing. I have mobilized ministers in the court to give priority to selecting personnel from their subordinates."

Qin Qiong and Li Ji looked at each other, and the latter said, "Erlang, it is certainly desirable to turn the eight counties of Liaodong into the granary of our Tang Dynasty, but why do we have to send a large number of people to settle down? Isn't it okay to directly enslave the locals?"

Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin also nodded, both of whom felt that Xi Yunfei did this a little extravagant.

It is OK to arrest the Goguryeo people and transport them to various parts of the Tang Dynasty to mine as slaves, and it is in their interests.

However, Xi Yunfei also asked them to call on the people to move to Goguryeo to live in peace for a long time. Isn’t this a little unnecessary?

Moreover, many people are not very happy about leaving their hometowns...

Xi Yunfei smiled bitterly, not knowing how to explain.

If you want to completely turn Goguryeo into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, you cannot simply colonize and enslave it directly.

Although Xi Yunfei's method is a bit of a big deal, it can fundamentally solve many potential problems.

Fortunately, the population in this era was not large, and the population of Goguryeo was estimated to be only 700,000 to 800,000, and millions were as high as the sky. It was slowly migrated to various parts of the Tang Dynasty for differentiation. It is estimated that in about three to five years, Goguryeo really no longer existed.

As for the fertile soil of the Northeast Peninsula, Xi Yunfei estimated that at least 200,000 people would need to live there. At that time, it would not be a problem to use the various modern farming machinery he provided, and annual output of tens of millions of tons of grain.

In this way, one Northeast can feed the population of three Tang Dynasty, liberate more labor, and engage in cultural and scientific research.
