The first thousand two hundred and seventieth chapters
It was getting daylight and the war had long ended. The battlefield was littered with corpses. Most of the Xi troops on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were killed by the Jin army. Only about 7,000 people were lucky enough to surrender successfully. The other 10,000 people all died on the battlefield, including the general.
Sollie also died in the rebellion.
The surrendered soldiers had been taken away, and Yao Jin led tens of thousands of troops to complete the formation in the city. At this time, there were no more defenders visible on the city. There were less than 2,000 soldiers in the city. It was basically an undefended city.
Already.
"boom!"
There was an earth-shattering explosion, and thick smoke rose into the sky at the city gate. Sections of the city wall collapsed, and dust flew. When the smoke cleared, it was seen that the city gate had completely collapsed, revealing a gap two miles wide.
Yao Jin waved his sword and said, "The army is entering the city!"
The 50,000-strong army marched into the city with shouts and shouts...
Just when the 50,000-strong army entered the city, he saw smoke billowing from the royal palace in the north and flames rising into the sky. King Xi learned that Sole's entire army had been destroyed and the enemy troops were entering the city in large numbers, so he set fire to the city in despair.
The last two thousand defenders in the city all laid down their weapons and surrendered. The Jin army immediately implemented martial law in the city. Patrol soldiers could be seen everywhere in the city. Fire-fighting soldiers were everywhere around the palace. Yao Jin personally commanded thousands of soldiers to put out the fire in the palace. They had controlled the fire.
The fire broke out in a corner, and palace maids kept escaping from here.
The fire burned until the afternoon and was not extinguished. The Jin army saved the warehouse behind the palace and the left side of the palace, while other buildings were burned to the ground.
Guo Song arrived at the palace led by hundreds of soldiers. The fire had all been put out, and there were ruins everywhere. Yao Jin stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, we found a total of fifty-three burnt corpses, including
There are seventeen members of Sogo's family."
Guo Song nodded, "This kind of person who would rather die than settle for nothing deserves respect. Give their family a good burial."
"I humbly obey orders!"
Guo Song asked again: "How is the situation in the warehouse?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the fire in the warehouse has been put out. Only part of the building was burned down, and the inventory was not burned. The sergeant is currently counting the items."
"I understand, what else is there?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, there is also... Prime Minister Guide asking to see Your Highness!"
Although Guo Song admired King Xi's staunchness, he preferred Guide who sold his goods to seek glory. Such people were like Chinese Americans in later generations. In order to prove their loyalty, they would be more cruel to their compatriots.
Not long after, Yao Jin brought Guide over. Guo Song sat down in the pavilion. Guide came forward and kowtowed: "Guide, the guilty minister, is here to see His Highness the King of Jin!"
"Pingshen, give me a seat!"
The soldiers brought a small chair, and Guide sat down with great gratitude.
"You are very aware!"
Guo Song praised: "In order to save tens of thousands of Xi people from being devastated by the war, you chose to kill your relatives in a righteous way. This is worthy of praise."
Guide was really ashamed. He was not doing it for the other Xi people. He was clearly just trying to save his own wealth and life. However, he was the Xi people's prime minister after all. As soon as he thought about it, he understood that this was His Highness the King of Jin giving himself a step up, not allowing himself to
Embarrassing.
Guide wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "I am ashamed of myself!"
Guo Song nodded and asked again: "You speak Chinese very well. Have you ever stayed in the Central Plains?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the villain's father is the chief of Muromube. He yearns for the culture of the Central Plains. I was sent to Youzhou by my father when I was seven years old and lived there for nearly twenty years. After my father passed away, I came back to inherit the chieftainship.
Ten years ago, I gave up the position of chief to my brother, and I became Yili Jin of the Xi clan, that is, the prime minister, so the villain and his several sons can all speak fluent Chinese."
"How many sons do you have?" Guo Song asked again.
"Reporting to Your Highness, I have three sons."
Guo Song said slowly: "Let's do this! Your wife and children will be sent to live in Chang'an, and then I will appoint you as the governor of Liao and continue to govern Xidi for me. Are you willing?"
Guide was overjoyed. He was only over forty years old. He originally just wanted to keep his wealth, but he didn't expect that the King of Jin would let him continue to be an official. He quickly bowed and said: "I am willing to do your best for Your Highness."
"Okay! The first thing you have to do now is to collect the bones of King Xi and his family, bury him with royal rites, and then prepare to establish the Liaozhou Governor's Office. I will send people to assist you."
"Wei Chen obeys the order!"
Guo Song decided to follow Army Sima Du Yingxing as the first governor of Liaozhou. At the same time, he selected a dozen Huixi people and Khitan-speaking Han officials in Yingzhou, plus native Li Guide, and together they formed a new Liaozhou government.
Guo Song then said to Guide: "I don't want to kill innocent people. Xi people mainly focus on handicrafts and agriculture. I hope that in the future, Liaozhou's carts can run in all states in the world. I also hope that Liaozhou will become the Liaodong region in the future."
I hope that in the future there will no longer be any difference between Xi people and Han people, everyone can communicate smoothly, and children in Xi people can read and write. Can Li Changshi understand what I mean?"
Guide nodded silently. He knew very well what King Jin meant. King Jin wanted Han Xi to assimilate. He had known this for a long time, but he also admitted that it was easier for Xi people to be Hanized than Khitan people.
"Wei Chen understands His Highness's good intentions, and Wei Chen will do his best to fulfill His Highness's instructions!"
........
After the Jin army captured Raole City, they immediately divided their troops into five groups and went to Raole Dudu Mansion to eliminate the remaining forces of King Xi while accepting the surrender of the chiefs of the Xi tribes.
At this time, Li Xizhou, who was on a mission to Yaonan for Guo Song, arrived in Raole City, and Guo Song received him in the big tent outside the city.
"To report to Your Highness, Khitan Khan Yaochuan Heli has accepted His Highness's suggestion and is willing to send troops to assist the Jin army in wiping out Yeluyun Deshi's forces. In addition to agreeing to the conditions proposed by His Highness, he also made another condition."
"What else does he want?" Guo Song asked, playing with the silver wolf head arrow.
"He hopes that His Highness can canonize him as a khan. He does not want the little khan canonized by Uighur. He wants the same golden khan as Uighur."
Guo Song put the silver wolf head command arrow on the table and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back: "He wants to be on an equal footing with Huihe, isn't he afraid that Huihe will deal with him?"
"Your Majesty, I heard that the grassland is in chaos now. The Huihe tribe has declined. Various tribes are eager to try and become the new masters of the grassland, such as the Sijie tribe, the Pugu tribe, the Bare ancient tribe, and the Qi tribe.
The Xin tribe, the Yongasi tribe, as well as the Shiwei tribe and the Khitan Yaonan tribe in the east all want to participate in the fight for Mobei.

The biggest enemy of the Yaonan Tribe is the Banyegu Tribe. The two tribes have been fighting for the southern pastures for three years, but each time the Yaonan Tribe suffered losses and failed. The fundamental reason was that they were restrained by the Diela Tribe in the east.
The military strength made the Yaonan tribe dare not devote all its efforts, so His Highness's proposal hit the target of He Li's liking. When the villain left the Yaonan tribe, the Yaonan tribe had already sent 30,000 troops to encircle and suppress two small tribes in the north. It seemed that the Min tribe
We will also send troops to cooperate with the remote chariot unit."
Guo Song smiled faintly and said: "If he wants to become a Golden Khan, he must show his strength. If he can defeat the Beye Gubu, then it doesn't matter if I canonize him as a Golden Khan."
"Xiao Min believes that he will go all out for his own interests!"
Speaking of this, Li Xizhou hesitated and asked: "I heard that King Xi has died of suicide?"
Guo Song nodded, "He has some backbone. I buried him generously. What suggestions does Mr. Li have about ridiculing people?"
"Your Highness, I have been dealing with the Xi people for almost twenty years. I really feel that the Xi people are different from the Khitans. The Khitans are more aggressive, but the Xi people are a little weaker. In many cases, they are vassals of the Khitans.
This is also related to their way of life. The Khitan people are either nomadic herders from the Yaonan tribe or fishermen and hunters from the Diela tribe. However, the Xi people mainly rely on three things, handicrafts, agriculture and logging. Personally, I feel that the Xi people are generally more profit-oriented.
"
"How do you say this?"
Guo Songxiao asked: "Why do you say they value profits?"
"Your Highness, Xi Ren's handicrafts are not only car-making, but also smelting, blacksmithing, sword casting, wine making, pottery making and weaving. These are all skills Xi Ren learned from Youzhou. There are at least two of them.
Three hundred thousand Xi people live in Youzhou. They all migrated there after the Anshi Rebellion. Of course, they have to sell a large number of handicrafts for money. They have very close business contacts with Youzhou. Your Highness can take advantage of this if you want to manage the Xi people well.
.”
Guo Song nodded slowly. Guide said a lot, but they were all relatively empty. Li Xizhou could not see through it. Li Xizhou put it bluntly, just let the Xi people simply engage in handicrafts, and let the Han people grow grain. As long as they control the grain, it would be enough.
If you strangle Xi people's life gates, they will have to be obedient.
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Li. Let's continue talking about the Diela tribe! I would like to know how many people the Yelu clan has in the Diela tribe?"
