Chapter 476 Great opportunity, thanks to Gao Xunli
Quan Cong then solemnly clasped his fists and said to those on his left and right: "We must conquer Liaodong this time to comfort the souls of several generals. The promotion and transfer of a battle-hardened general like Guan Qiujian away from Liaodong is a great opportunity for me. I I really should thank Gao Xunli very much!"
Everyone on the left and right also spoke one after another: "This Gao Xun beauty has really helped me Jiangdong a lot!"
After the death of the king on the mountain, his son Gaoyou ascended the throne and became the king of Dongchuan.
In the early days after he ascended the throne, he had constant envoy exchanges with Cao Wei.
Later, he killed the Dongwu envoy to Cao Wei, and later assisted Cao Wei in conquering Gongsun Yuan.
In the later period, he pursued a policy of external expansion and invaded Anping County in the east of Liao Dynasty. Later, he invaded the north of Silla, which led to Cao Wei's general Guan Qiujian's crusade. He fled to Nanwoju, and Wandu City was destroyed.
When Guanqiu Jian was a child, because of his passion for reading and his outstanding literary talent, he was appointed by Cao Pi as a literary director, responsible for Cao Rui's study and moral cultivation (Jian inherited his father's title and became the Marquis of Pingyuan Literature).
Of course, if Guanqiu Jian can enter the palace, his father Guanqiu Xing must have been behind it. Guanqiu Xingguan was appointed as the prefect of Wuwei, and he would be a great craftsman and be granted the title of Marquis of Gaoyang. The road to becoming an official for a good young man is smooth)
With this relationship, Guanqiu Jian's career then began to take a triple leap.
Guanqiu Jian was appreciated by Cao Rui, Emperor Ming of Wei, at the beginning of his career. He successively held important positions such as Shangshulang and Yulin Supervisor, and later served as the governor of Jingzhou and presided over the defense of Xiangfan.
During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Cao Rui also planned to carry out large-scale construction projects. From Sangong onwards, almost all the ministers in the court wrote letters to advise him. Guanqiu Jian was also among them. Shangshu said: "I foolishly thought that the world needed to get rid of the two thieves. It was the most urgent task. Food and clothing. Sincerely, the two thieves will not be exterminated. The soldiers and the people will be hungry and cold. Even if you admire the beautiful palaces, it will still be of no use."
Although Cao Rui ignored it, he still moved Guan Qiu Jian to be the governor of Jingzhou. With this move, Guan Qiu Jian became an important local minister of Cao Wei!
Guanqiu Jian performed well in Jingzhou and successfully resisted Lu Xun's Northern Expedition.
After Zhuge Liang left, there was no fighting on the western front. Guanqiu Jian tried to figure out the Holy Will and wrote: "Your Majesty has come to the throne, and there is nothing to write down. Wu and Shu are relying on danger and cannot be defeated. They can use useless people here." Defeating Liaodong"
Cao Rui asked everyone to discuss Guanqiu Jian's plan to conquer the Liao Dynasty. Shangshu Youpu She and Wei Zhen, the servant in the middle, objected: "What Jian has stated are all the fine arts of the Warring States Period and are not the business of kings.
Wu Ping-year-old proclaimed himself a soldier, and bandits invaded the border areas, but he continued to raise soldiers and failed to find anyone to punish him. This was because the people were tired. He Yuan grew up across the sea and continued for three generations. But the thrifty people want to use the commander of the partial army to drive, and roll up the troops from morning to night, but they know that this is a fool's errand."
The main reason for Wei Zhen's objections was that the people were tired, they had been fighting for years, military expenditures were huge, and the people in Cao Wei's area had a heavy burden. It was finally possible to take a breather, so why not use the case to support the soldiers?
Besides, the Gongsun Yuan family has ruled Liaodong for three generations. They appease the Hu people externally, renovate military equipment internally, and practice battle formations. Can you, Guanqiu Jian, do it?
Wei Zhen has a rich background, he is the son of Wei Zi.
Wei Zi was an angel investor in Cao Cao's business. Most of Cao Cao's troops were sponsored by Wei Zi: Chen Liu raised troops, who did Cao Cao lose to in the first battle of his military career?
The Cao family also gave generous rewards to the Wei family. When Wei Zhen was under Cao Cao, he was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei. Cao Pi was then appointed as a minister and minister of the Ministry of Personnel. In the Cao Rui Dynasty, he was promoted to Guanglu, Sikong and Situ, becoming the highest-ranking three princes!
Cao Rui was still hesitant, but Gongsun Yuan quickly slapped him in the face.
It happened that the planners of Liaodong County came back from Luoyang at this time and reported to Gongsun Yuan that these envoys were very brave, and one of them named Zuo Junbo was even more brave. He suspected that these people were sent to die by the Wei State ( When Yuan Ji's officials returned from Luoyang, he said to Yuan: "The envoy Zuo Junbo asked all the envoys to choose those who are brave and powerful, and they are extraordinary people.")
After hearing this, Gongsun Yuan was shocked and frightened, so he sent a large army to surround the academy where the envoy was staying, and then went in to worship him. It is to enter and worship)
When Gongsun Yuan sent troops, Fu Rong and Nie Kui were probably scared to death. Gongsun Yuan wouldn't do the stupid thing of killing the envoy again, right?
After being humiliated, the two of them complained to Cao Rui after they returned.
There was no war in the south during those years, but hidden dangers in Liaodong gradually became apparent. Therefore, Emperor Wei Ming appointed Guanqiu Jian, who was familiar and trustworthy, as the governor of Youzhou.
The previous governor of Youzhou was Tian Yu, and after Tian Yu was Wang Xiong. At that time, an ambush occurred in the Bohai Bay (the tragic experience of Cao Wei's old scalper Niu Tian Yu).
Squeezing away Wang Xiong from Tianyu (the branch of Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou, wanted to make Xiong the captain of Karasuma, destroy the border areas of Henan, and cause trouble for the country. So he transferred to Henan and became the governor of Runan, and killed the Yi generals)
When Ke Bineng rebelled, Wang Xiong sent the swordsman Han Long to get rid of Ke Bineng. From then on, the Xianbei tribes were separated (invading each other. The strong fled far away, and the weak surrendered, and the borderlands were peaceful).
The two governors of Youzhou are very good at fighting, but are they useful? Regardless of whether you are a veteran of three dynasties or a wealthy family, you have to give way obediently in front of the emperor's confidants. The chain of contempt for power is: emperor's confidants > wealthy families > common people and grassroots.
Cao Rui gave Guanqiu Jian the highest authority. In addition to being the governor of Youzhou, he also added the title of General Du Liao. He also served as the Colonel Protecting Wuhuan, and handed over all the military and political power in the north to him, so that he could make decisions when the situation arises ( Chijie) (The emperor planned to conquer Liaodong, used frugality and effective strategies, moved to the governor of Youzhou, added a general to the Liao Dynasty, envoy Chijie, and protected Wuwan Xiaowei)
It is said that since the end of the Han Dynasty, the Gongsun family has been entrenched in Liaodong for three generations. Previously, Cao Wei's attitude was to let it be called a vassal. However, Sun Quan made several cross-sea contacts with the intention of attacking Wei, which aroused Cao Rui's high vigilance.
In 237 AD, Emperor Wei Ming ordered Guan Qiu Jian to surrender to Gongsun's family with an imperial edict. However, Gongsun Yuan "didn't buy it" and instead sent troops to attack Guan Qiu Jian. Due to insufficient military preparation, Guan Qiu Jian temporarily retreated.
Later, Guanqiu Jian followed Sima Yi to quell the Gongsun Yuan rebellion, and Cao Wei's territory expanded to the Korean Peninsula near present-day South Hamjing Road.
In 240 AD, the Goguryeo Dynasty expanded from several early tribes to the Han River Basin.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the eleventh king Dongchuan Throne Palace was in office, he first cooperated with Cao Wei to attack Gongsun Yuan. After annihilating Gongsun Yuan, Throne Palace was full of confidence and took advantage of the war between Wei and Wu Shu.
Taking the opportunity, he suddenly sent troops to attack the Wei territory in Liaodong.
In 244 AD, Guanqiu Jian rallied his army and led tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry to attack Goguryeo from South Hamgyong Road.
The army led by Guan Qiujian was an elite division of the northern garrison. It defeated King Dongchuan of Goguryeo twice in Boliushui and Liangkou, wiping out the main force of 18,000 people. King Dongchuan fled with the remaining troops.
Heading east to Woju, we took advantage of the danger to defend the well-defended Wandu City.
Wandu Castle is the military garrison city of King Dongchuan and also the royal capital. The terrain is dangerous, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
After Guan Qiujian surveyed the terrain, he found that the north was steep, while the northwest was slightly gentle, so he decided to use the strategy of feinting from the front and sneak attack from the northwest. The army's suicide squads who were good at climbing secretly climbed up the cliff, killed the guards, and broke through in one fell swoop.
Maruto Castle.
Wei soldiers "slaughtered the capital of Goguryeo and captured thousands of captives", which means they adopted the method of "slaughtering the city". This battle left the Goguryeo people in a state of shock.
In 245 AD, in order to prevent King Dongchuan from resurrecting, Guanqiu Jian took control of Wandu City and attacked King Dongchuan in two groups. On one side was Wang Qi, the prefect of Xuantu, whose task was to capture the culprit King Dongchuan; on the other was Liu, the prefect of Lelang.
Mao, leading the governor Gong Zun, was tasked with attacking the rebellious tribes.
The two groups of soldiers and horses played a triumphant song and regained the territory abandoned by the Eastern Han Dynasty in one fell swoop. Shortly thereafter, King Dongchuan died of depression while on the run.
Although the country was restored later, Wandu City was destroyed, so he built Pyongyang City and prepared to move the capital.
After reigning for twenty-two years, Gao You died and was given the posthumous title King of Dongchuan.
After the death of King Dongchuan, his son Gao Ranfu came to the throne as King Zhongchuan. He only succeeded to the throne for less than a year, but his desire for revenge was extremely strong...
