Regardless of the fact that Goguryeo now exists in name only.
Only a monarch like Gao Jianwu was still wandering and fleeing.
But in the land of Goguryeo, there are still many die-hard loyalists of Gao Jianwu.
Just like Li Shimin wanted to capture Jie Li alive no matter what.
Only by capturing the other party's monarch can the other party's country be completely controlled.
But now that Gao Jianwu has run away, the situation in Goguryeo will definitely be turbulent in the future.
What Datang wanted was a peaceful Northeast, not to deal with rebel armies one after another...
Moreover, Li Chengqian really couldn't figure out who had a hand in this matter and rescued Gao Jianwu and his party.
After all, there are too many people who can do these things and are happy to watch him suffer.
But these are not important now. What is important is that he must seize the time to come up with a way that can not only prevent the Northeast from falling into chaos in the future, but also make the Goguryeo subjects completely surrender.
At this moment, even though he had many clever ideas and could tease even Li Shimin, he felt a little worried.
If we follow the example of Beimo, Tuyuhun and other places, it would indeed be a good idea to move all the people of Goguryeo to the interior of the Tang Dynasty.
But since Gao Jianwu was still alive, he really couldn't guarantee that there would be no die-hard loyalists to Gao Jianwu among the people he moved inland.
If we follow what Li Shimin did to Goguryeo and use iron and blood to force them to surrender, it will obviously only last for a while, and no one dares to say what will happen in the future.
Just when Li Chengqian was worried, Changsun Chong suddenly said: "Your Highness, Chong has an idea. I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
"speak!"
Li Chengqian waved his hand indiscriminately and said, "Even if it's a bad idea, it's better than no idea at all."
Hearing this, Changsun Chong shook his head and smiled, and then said: "I think His Highness can follow what King Qin did to other vassal states when he swept Liuhe."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then murmured: "When the First Emperor swept through the six kingdoms, did he do anything to other vassal states?"
"Of course."
Changsun Chong said: "Every time the Qin army conquers a place, they will recruit rebels locally and select loyal people from foreign countries to lead the rebels to guard the city."
"Although these people are not soldiers from their own country, when foreign countries came to attack, they all fought for the Qin Dynasty to the death."
"I think Your Highness can consider it."
After hearing what Chang Sun Chong said.
Li Chengqian suddenly felt like he had an enlightenment.
Yes……
I can completely follow the Qin army in recruiting rebels in Goguryeo.
Li Chengqian said excitedly towards Changsun Chong: "Brother Chong, this plan is definitely a brilliant move."
Hearing this, Changsun Chong smiled noncommittally and said, "I've been following His Highness for so long. If I didn't learn something, wouldn't I be too stupid?"
"Hey, do you speak so nicely now?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, pointed at Changsun Chong and said, "Next time, learn more from your Highness's good points, but don't imitate these flatterers. I'm afraid I will swell after hearing too much."
As soon as he said this, Changsun Chong also smiled.
But after he only laughed a few times, he stopped laughing, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "But Your Highness, have you thought about who you want to supervise Goguryeo in the future?"
Li Chengqian smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't we have a ready candidate?"
Seeing this, Changsun Chong frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness is talking about Eulji Munde?"
"wrong!"
"He has now changed his name to Yuchi Wende."
"But no matter what, this guy is half Goguryeo."
"Since he has surrendered to our Tang Dynasty, we can't keep this talent and don't use it, right?"
Li Chengqian raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I will ask my father for a decree now and ask him to confer Yuchi Wende as the Inspection History of the Northeast Road, giving him full authority to take care of everything in Goguryeo."
"With him here handling Goguryeo's affairs in the past few years, at least Goguryeo will not be in chaos."
"In a few years, when the people of Goguryeo have basically forgotten Gao Jianwu, we can move the people of Goguryeo to the interior."
"At that time, even if these people wanted to cause trouble, they wouldn't have the chance."
After hearing these words, Changsun Chong also felt enlightened.
He cupped his hands directly towards Li Chengqian and said: "Your Highness is so smart that he is as bright as ever..."
"Okay, okay, I've asked you to learn these flattering things."
After finishing his words, Li Chengqian suddenly fell silent.
He looked up to the west and sighed: "When everything is arranged, we can finally go home."
"yes."
Changsun Chong pursed his lips, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Judging by the time, by the time he returns to Chang'an City, His Highness will be getting married and starting a business."
Hearing this, the figures of the two girls could not help but appear in Li Chengqian's mind.
Previously, I had been so busy that I even forgot about their existence.
But when I think about it now, I am simply a scumbag.
Apart from other things, Lu Wanjie had been waiting for him for how many years.
But until today, he has not married Lu Wanjie.
Li Chengqian took a deep breath, and then a smile began to appear on his face and said: "I've finished all my work, and it's time to fulfill the promise I made long ago..."
…
In the sixth year of Zhenguan, it was mid-September.
The Goguryeo War, which lasted for nearly half a year, also came to an end with Li Shimin's canonization decree arriving in Goguryeo.
With the destruction of Goguryeo, Mohe finally gave up resistance and announced his surrender to the Tang Dynasty, unconditional surrender.
On the day when Li Chengqian went to pick him up, the leader of Mohe, who used to be aloof and arrogant, was prostrate on the ground.
Seeing Li Chengqian coming, he held up the long sword in his hands and shouted in broken Chinese: "Qi Ping, lead the five tribes of Mohe and bow to the Tang Dynasty!"
After saying this, he slowly put down the knife in his hand, then faced Li Chengqian and kowtowed respectfully.
And those people behind him also imitated his actions, put down their knives and kowtowed towards Li Chengqian.
Looking at the group of people kneeling in front of him.
Li Chengqian's heart suddenly felt filled with pride.
To be honest, he has never been so proud since he came to this era.
He finally realized why others always said that all men in the world have a dream of going to the battlefield to fight with the enemy.
Although he has always prided himself on not wanting to fight with others.
But in this war, he completely realized how great a sense of accomplishment he would feel after winning a war on his own.
This time, from the beginning to the end of the war, he fully participated and planned, and finally won the war, bringing the entire Northeast region completely under the control of the Tang Dynasty.
Looking at the kowtows in front of him, Li Chengqian took out the sword from his waist.
"From today on, we are no longer enemies, but a close family."
"Although I will cancel the name of the Mohe clan as before, I will also give you a new identity, and that is the Tang people!"
"In the future, you will be like the residents of the Northern Desert. You don't have to live in this bitter cold place and can live in the warm south."
"And you can also enjoy the benefits of being a Tang person, study, go to school, and even join the army to fight for the country like the Tang people!"
"From now on, we are one family from all over the world, and Mohe returns to the Tang Dynasty!"
