Liu Yu secretly sighed in his heart. He never imagined that he would have such a status in the eyes of this foreign spy princess. However, she probably never dreamed that because of Murong Lan's death, she had given up her past obsessions and happiness and left.
She has embarked on a road of becoming an emperor that cannot be turned back. One day in the future, when she really takes the throne, how will she see herself?
But Liu Yu still said calmly: "Princess Gao, since you have taken action to destroy Houyan and let Feng of Beiyan take the position of Lord of Liaodong, you don't have to worry about another conflict with Murong.
, As for the Nanyan here, we have also destroyed it. From now on, there is no more Murong clan bloodline in the world. You should avenge the country's destruction. Before that, your country's great enemy, Wang Mang, mother Qiu Jian,
They have already died and their families have been exterminated, but your Gao family lineage has been passed down, so I should express my congratulations to you."
Gao Yunyan smiled brightly: "Thank you, General Liu, for your congratulations. Since our father, all the people of Goguryeo also wish General Liu an early victory in clearing Yunei and fulfilling his great wish. We are also willing to provide help to your great cause as much as we can."
Liu Yu said calmly: "Well, there is no need to say more about our mutual congratulations. This time you come to our place and you want to meet with me in private first. What is the purpose of it?"
Gao Yunyan nodded: "Finally we can get down to business. The first purpose of my coming here is to ask for permission to send envoys to the Jin Dynasty to restore the status of a vassal state since the Western Dynasty. When our country was founded during the Western Han Dynasty,
Because the founding king was killed by Wang Mang, he became independent. However, after the founding of the country by Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, we again professed vassalage to the Eastern Han Dynasty until the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. Although the journey was far away, the number of times was not many, and it was not known in the Han Dynasty.
It is directly under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong governor, but it is still the Sinicization of Zhongtu, and the system of the country is more similar to that of the Central Plains."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Until the end of the Han Dynasty when the Three Kingdoms were in turmoil, Cao Wei's mother Qiu Jian went to war and almost destroyed your country. In the following decades, you rarely paid tribute. Even during the Western Jin Dynasty, you only came once.
Twice."
Gao Yunyan sighed: "After almost subjugating the country, the way to the Central Plains was blocked by the Murong clan, Yuwen clan, Duan clan, including the Helan clan in western Liaoning. How easy is it to pay tribute once?"
Hu Daoan suddenly sneered: "But this time, Princess Gao, you can go directly to the land of Qilu. I'm afraid you have found a new way to pay tribute."
Gao Yunyan smiled slightly: "You guessed it right. Yes, although we were unable to open up the Western Liaoning Passage and enter Youzhou to reach the Central Plains, on the peninsula, we defeated the coalition forces of Baekje and Japan and captured a large area of plain areas along the Han River.
, and even captured Qinghe Island. From then on, our fleet can travel to and from Qilu. This time, I took a boat for half a month and landed in Donglai County."
Liu Muzhi's expression changed: "Are you taking the water route that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent to conquer Wei's Korea?"
Gao Yunyan nodded: "Exactly, this waterway was originally controlled by Baekje, but now it belongs to us. It's just that Nanyan has captured the land of Qilu, so we can't go ashore from here. If we want to enter the river,
Haikou, go directly to Yangzhou. The journey is too far. It is difficult to get supplies on the way. We also have to face interception and interception by the fleets of Baekje and Japan at sea. It is not easy to go. Fortunately, the King of Jin Dynasty destroyed Murong's Nanyan. From then on, we
The sea lanes between the two countries have been officially opened."
Liu Yu said seriously: "Goguryeo went through many hardships, opened up sea transportation, and came to pay tribute. This loyalty is commendable. I will report it to the emperor later and give you enough rewards and enfeoffments. I remember that the old title was
Duke Lelang, General Anton, Envoy Chijie, Commander Lelang, Xuantu and other military personnel, right?"

Gao Yunyan laughed: "I didn't expect General Liu to even remember the previous titles of our country. Yes, we used to have such titles during the Eastern Han Dynasty. But in these years, we have seized a lot of territory on the peninsula. Maybe we will still have it by then.
I need you to report to the emperor and add some more states and counties to our list."
Liu Yu said seriously: "On this point, there will be corresponding officials and ministers to discuss it. By the way, if the Feng family of Beiyan can remove themselves from the pseudo-emperor title and is willing to become a vassal state of Jin Dynasty, we can also give them
For the corresponding title, I will transfer the previous title of Duke of Yan to the Murong family to them. I hope they will not be stubborn and proclaim themselves emperor to the end. When the army arrives, it will be too late to regret it. "
Gao Yunyan nodded: "The Feng family now claims the title of King of Heaven instead of Emperor, which probably leaves a way out for themselves. Moreover, while they inherited the territory of Hou Yan, they also inherited the hostile relationship with the Northern Wei Dynasty. In recent years,
There have been constant small-scale conflicts with the Northern Wei Dynasty. Now that the Southern Yan Dynasty has been destroyed, they have also realized the military power of the Jin Dynasty. They will definitely consider your proposal. When the time comes, please revise your credentials and we can convey it on your behalf.
"
At this point, she paused: "Since we have become a vassal state, I would like to ask Dajin for two things later. One is to allow us to start trade. Now that our waterways are open, we can send merchants consisting of dozens of large ships directly from the waterways.
Team, come to Qingzhou for trade. The special products on our peninsula include ginseng, fur, etc., and we want to exchange for silk, handicrafts, jade, grain, etc. from the Central Plains."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Since it is a vassal state, it should naturally do business. I am a soldier and I don't know much about this kind of business. I can just let the corresponding departments handle it. What's the second thing?"
Gao Yunyan said sternly: "The second thing is that we want to ask the Jin Dynasty to send troops to help us eliminate our sworn enemy Baekje and the navy and army of the Japanese country, and help us unify the peninsula. After this is accomplished, our country will definitely
I will repay Da Jin’s kindness with generous gifts, and I will certainly provide you with assistance to the best of my ability to fulfill your great wish of the Northern Expedition.”
Liu Yu frowned and said in a deep voice: "This is not good. Before you came back, Baekje had already sent envoys to us to claim the domain and pay tribute. Even if you succeed in claiming the domain this time,
Like Baekje, they are both vassals of the Jin Dynasty. According to the etiquette of the Jin Dynasty, if the vassal states fight against each other, we will send envoys to advise a cessation of war. If the advice fails, then you will solve the problem yourself, but the Jin Dynasty will send troops to intervene.
There is no precedent for this.”
Gao Yunyan said calmly: "At this moment, at that moment, if Baekje was really loyal to the Jin Dynasty, we would naturally not make such a request. But General Liu, you don't know something. Baekje only openly surrendered to the Jin Dynasty."
In addition to the Jin Dynasty, they also secretly surrendered to the Japanese country in the south of the peninsula. Even the current King of Baekje, when he was still the prince, went to the Japanese country as a hostage. I would like to ask, is this the way Baekje treats the ministers of the Jin Dynasty? "
