In the Zhengxi Mansion in Chang'an, Xia Houyun's full-moon banquet with two thousand gold coins was being held lively.
Xia Houxuan and Huigu arrived in Chang'an last year, and nearly a year had passed before they knew it.
Xia Houxuan, who had been busy with military affairs and didn't drink much in the past year, was rarely drunk today. After the banquet was over, it was already Youshi. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Xia Houxuan thought of his mother and Xiao Mingyue waiting in Luoyang. Taking advantage of his drunkenness, he wrote a letter home to Xiao Mingyue:
"Mother, Mingyue Qinqi: I am in Chang'an, everything is going well, Hui Gu gave birth to a daughter, the sky was full of clouds when she was born, so she was named Yun'er. Mother can teach Gu Ting to urge Mingyue to practice martial arts seriously, Mingyue has gradually become more sensible. , you can teach her to learn more about the policies and essays of various scholars. I hope my mother will eat more and take care of herself. Er Xuan wrote it herself."

Since Gao Youzhi fled north, Guanqiu Jian has been busy sorting out the population register and geographical atlas of Liaodong, and has not further pursued the victory.
But after Gao Youju, who had always been conceited, took a break, the more he thought about it, the more reluctant he became. After hearing the news that Guan Qiujian had not continued to move eastward, Gao Youju wanted to sneak back to his homeland immediately.
Prince Gao Ranfu believed that he should continue to hide in neighboring Woju and wait for the Wei army to completely withdraw before returning. However, Gao Youju, who was eager to return home, once again rejected the prince's suggestion and chose to risk returning home.
Guanqiu Jian really didn't expect that a high-ranking person would have such courage.
But what the high-ranking people don't know is that only courage that matches strength can be called courage.
Guanqiu Jian did not hesitate, raised the ten thousand Youyan warriors under his command, and once again embarked on the journey eastwards.
Gao Youzhi originally wanted to call on the people of eastern Gaoguli to organize a counterattack, but what he didn't expect was that after Guanqiu Jian massacred Wandu Mountain, the people of Gao Juli were frightened, so Gao Youzhi didn't even have a chance to fight back. Not a single soldier arrived despite the call.
Frightened, he had no choice but to continue running eastward.
In order to stabilize the new land, Guanqiu Jian decided to take charge of Wandu City himself.
He sent Wang Qi, the prefect of Xuantu, to lead an army to march towards Dongwoju, which was still attached to Gaoguli. The other army was led by Liu Mao, the prefect of Lelang, and Gong Zun, the prefect of Daifang, to attack various places that were attached to Gaoguli. Other tribes in Gaoguli.
Within a month, good news came from both the Eastern and Northern armies:
Wang Qi's army pursued them to Zhuling and once again defeated Gao Youzhi's remaining troops. Then, the army rushed to Woju territory and attacked the tribes that had surrendered to Gao Gouli, killing more than 3,000 people in one fell swoop!
Gao Youzhu panicked and fled into Beiwoju territory in panic, but the Wei army did not stop their pursuit, so Gao Youzhu could only continue to flee north without stopping.
After Dongwoju, Beiwoju, and Sushen Kingdom saw Guanqiujian's ferocious tiger-like Youyan warriors, they naturally no longer dared to attach themselves to Gaoguli.
The warriors who had been entrenched in Youzhou for more than ten years were finally proud and proud. In this battle, Guanqiu Jian led them to fight thousands of miles, open up territories and expand territory, and in one fell swoop restored a large area of fertile land that had been abandoned during the Han Dynasty, and established a feat that would last forever.
Looking at the big rocks on the shore of the sea in front of them, the soldiers were filled with excitement. General Wang Qi said:
"Soldiers, this time Changyi Marquis led us to attack Gaoguli in one fell swoop and expand thousands of miles of territory for our Wei Dynasty. Can this achievement be comparable to that of the champion Hou Huo Qubing?"
The soldiers did not deliberately flatter Guan Qiu Jian at this moment. They sincerely expressed their respect for Guan Qiu Jian:
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Wang Qi was very excited at this moment. He came to the boulder on the seaside, pulled out the sword in his hand, and wrote on the boulder stroke by stroke:
"In the third year of Zhengshi's reign, Goguryeo rebelled. Wei sent General Guanqiu Jian, the general of Liao Dynasty and governor of Youzhou, to lead a crusade with troops from the left, middle, right, cavalry, capital, left and right armies. , returned triumphantly in May of the sixth year of Zhengshi! The soldiers accompanying the army were: General Wei Wuwan Shan Yu Kou Loudun, General Wei Kou General Dutinghou Xianyu Si, General Xing Pi Lingfu Tu Prefecture Wang Qi, General Xing Pi Le Lang The prefect Liu Mao, General Xingbi and the prefect Gong Zun..."
In this way, the soldiers under Guanqiu Jian pursued them all the way to the extreme north. After carving stones on the southern boundary of the Sushen clan to commemorate their achievements, they withdrew their troops and headed south.
In this battle, the Wei army once again included the Lintun County abandoned during the Han Dynasty.
Soon after, King Gao Youzhi of Dongchuan died of depression while fleeing, and the throne was passed to the seventeen-year-old Crown Prince Gao Ranfu.
Gaoguli suffered a disaster, but luckily the country was not subjugated, leaving only a hundred miles of land on the Sushen border to house the ancestral temple.
In the next forty years, Gaogouli did not dare to invade Liaodong again. From then on, he paid tribute to the Central Plains on time every year and did not dare to slack off.
At this point, most of the four kingdoms of Gaoguli, Woju, and Fuyu in the north and the Haoqi Kingdom in the south were merged into the borders of the Wei Dynasty and became the territory of the Wei Dynasty.
Nowadays, how to deal with the three Koreas in the south has become the problem facing Guanqiu Jian.

Luoyang, Wuyang Hou Mansion.
Sima Yi, the head of the family, who had been reading letters in the garden for an hour, took out a small bamboo tube from the leg of a homing pigeon that had just arrived.
This is the news sent by Wu Lin, who is engaged in Youzhou.
After Sima Yi thought about it for a long time, he called his eldest son Sima Shi.
After Master Sima entered the courtyard, he saluted his father. The father and son sat opposite each other, and Master Sima asked:
"I wonder why my father called me?"
Sima Yi took a sip of tea and then said:
"The news came from Youzhou that Guanqiu Jian defeated Gaoguli, swept through Woju, Fuyu, and Haoqi, and showed his prestige in Liaodong, expanding thousands of miles of territory for the country. This achievement is probably greater than that of his father who defeated Gongsun Yuan. There are so many!”
Sima Shi was immediately shocked when he heard that Guanqiu Jian had expanded his territory thousands of miles and swept across the four countries of Liaodong.
I'm afraid that since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, no general has achieved such feats.
Just listen to Sima Yi continue to say:
"However, news came from Wu Lin that the three Korean nations in the south are panicking at the moment. There are rumors that the three Koreas are about to surrender to the Wei Dynasty, but some people also say that the warriors of the three Koreas plan to rise up and resist and will not surrender until they die!"
After listening to his father's words, Sima Shi shook his head and wanted to retort that Sanhan was too courageous to rebel. But when he raised his eyes and saw his father's expression, he immediately fell silent.
Everyone knows that Guan Qiu Jian and Cao Shuang once assisted Emperor Ming in the East Palace and had a close friendship. Now that Guan Qiu Jian has made such extraordinary achievements in Liaodong, most of the shadow of Cao Shuang's party's previous defeat in Luogu has been swept away.
Master Sima immediately understood his father's intention. He nodded and said:
"My child understands, my child will let someone arrange it now!"
Sima Yi looked at his eldest son, who was becoming more and more responsible, and showed a satisfied smile.

In Youzhou, Guan Qiujian was concentrating on the march map of the three Koreas in the south.
Although Guanqiu Jian became famous in one battle, he was always cautious and knew the truth of starting well and ending well. The closer we get to the last minute, the more cautious we must be.
After a while, Guanqiu Jian beat the drum and raised the tent, and the news came from all the civil and military officials in Youzhou.
Guanqiu Jian got straight to the point and stated his purpose of promoting the generals:
"Everyone, I am calling you today just to ask how the three Koreas in the south should be handled. Is it war or peace?"
After hearing this, everyone in the tent had their own thoughts. Although Guanqiu Jian led 10,000 Youyan warriors and swept through the four kingdoms of Liaodong, the population in Liaodong was sparse, the soldiers were weak, and the grain and grass taxes were even weak. If he blindly suppressed it with force, if something went wrong, all his previous efforts would be wasted and Youyan would be left behind. The state was instantly in danger.
Gong Zun, the governor of Daifang who was famous for his bravery, said:
"Your Majesty, now that our army has established its power in Liaodong, why not sweep across the three Koreas with thunderous force? If all our efforts are accomplished in one battle, the northeastern border of the Wei Dynasty will be stable for at least several decades!"
After hearing this, Guanqiu Jian did not express his position.
Wu Lin, who was engaged, rolled his eyes and said:
"Your Majesty, since the Han Dynasty, the three Han territories of Mahan, Chenhan and Bianhan have been subordinate to Lelang County. Now that Youzhou is short of food and grass, in the opinion of my subordinates, it is better for the three Hans to focus on encircling and restraining them. .”
"Um……"
Guan Qiujian did not deny Wu Lin's opinion. After pondering for a long time, he finally nodded:
"What Wu Zheng said is exactly what I want. In that case, I'll trouble Wu Zheng to go to the Sanhan tribe and declare the intention of Wei Jisu!"
When Wu Lin heard this, he was overjoyed and took the order to leave.
More than half a month later, while Guan Qiu Jian was waiting wholeheartedly for Wu Lin's message, bad news came from the land of Sanhan that Guan Qiu Jian was very reluctant to believe:
For some unknown reason, after the imperial court's intention to make peace was introduced to the Three Koreans, the Sanhan people were so angry that they actually gathered the troops of the Three Koreans to attack the Qili camp in Daifang County!
After Guan Qiujian heard what the messenger said, he was shocked at first, but he quickly calmed down. After thinking carefully, he realized that there must be some hidden secret in this matter.
The three Koreas were originally afraid of the Wei army, but now the imperial court has taken the initiative to make peace. Logically speaking, the three Koreas should not resist.
But now the three Koreas, who should have happily accepted the peace talks, suddenly attacked the territory of Wei in a rage. This is really abnormal!
But the current situation no longer allowed Guanqiu Jian to investigate carefully. Now that Sanhan is actively provoking, even if he no longer wants to use force, he will have to use force to suppress it.
"Pass an order, order Gong Zun and Liu Mao to join forces with the elites from Dai Fang and Lelang counties to suppress the Korean rebellion immediately!"
"Yes, Lord!"
The messenger received the general's order and immediately conveyed it quickly.
Daifang County, the border between Wei and Mahan.
Gong Zun, the prefect of Daifang, and Liu Mao, the prefect of Lelang, were now fully armed and armed with strong swords. They led a total of 5,000 elite men from the two counties and headed towards Mahan.
For the current plan, we can only attack Ma Han, the most arrogant among the three Koreans, with lightning speed. The other Koreans will naturally be frightened and defeated.
"Prefect Liu, there is an enemy camp ahead. You and I will attack separately to see who can break through the capital of Ma and Korea first!"
"Hahaha, Brother Gong, I, Liu Mao, will accept this bet. If anyone loses, he will have to buy ten jars of fine wine!"
