The order Cui Ao received not only did not punish him, but instead praised him and asked him to immediately send the captured troops of Beifuyu and Sushen to Luoyang.
Of course, not all the prisoners were sent to Luoyang. Cui Ao also wanted to leave a few suitable people to join the army as guides and pioneers for the Han army.
"Is Your Majesty going to send me to the frontier, a disguised form of exile?"
Cui Ao looked at the edict in his hand and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
In the edict, Liu Yu asked him to lead his army to continue to pursue the fleeing Goguryeo rebels, and not only the Goguryeo rebels, but also find ways to subdue the barbarians from Beifuyu, Sushen and other tribes.
Cui Ao felt that this was a crazy decision no matter how he thought about these barbarians who were still in the state of eating raw hair and drinking blood.
"Even if we are expanding our territory, there is no need to be so urgent. It would be a bit of a bully to ask me, a high-ranking official to lead the army there in person."
Cui Ao, who had just received a considerable grant, couldn't help but feel a little proud of his status.
However, it is impossible not to obey the emperor's order.
He ordered that all the prisoners of Sushen in Beifuyu be summoned.
After a while, dozens of lean men wrapped in tattered dog skin jackets were brought over.
Looking at these stinking Yi Di, Cui Ao felt even more disgusted in his heart.
He ordered his generals who could speak the Yi language to tell the captives that the Han court had decided to forgive their sins and allow them to perform meritorious service.
"Whoever is willing to serve as our army's guide and help chase down those Goguryeo rebels can become a Han Yicong sergeant, with a salary of rice, silk and silk just like the army."
As soon as these captives heard this, they immediately beamed with joy.
Everyone knelt down together, shouting long live, and decided to act as hawks and lackeys for the big man to chase down the remnants of Goguryeo.
"This is the best. If the remnants of Goguryeo can be wiped out, then each of them will be rewarded with ten pieces of silk and ten pieces of fine wine!"
Cui Ao said with a smile.
With such a meager reward, if it were an ordinary Han army general, he would probably have felt humiliated and become angry.
But for these Yi Di tribesmen who have just left the world of raw hair and drinking blood, the gorgeous and warm silk is simply a treasure that can only be enjoyed by gods. As for the refreshing wine, it can make all men addicted.
One of the methods used by the Goguryeo people to recruit these barbarian tribes was to use salt, cloth and wine to solicit rewards.
Finally, Cui Ao selected a few more good-looking prisoners who would not affect the appetite of the emperor and princes. He ordered people to teach them Han Chinese language, and then specially ordered people to take them to Luoyang to resume their lives.
As for the others, they waited until Cui Ao selected two thousand soldiers from the army, and then went forward as a vanguard to track down the traces of the Goguryeo rebels.
Now when the wind and snow blow, those Goguryeo people must have found a place to hide.
In other words, not just hiding in one place, but multiple places.
Therefore, Cui Ao did not expect to find the main force of Goguryeo. He just sent these people to explore the road first, and then sent troops to advance after the spring of next year.
However, before Cui Ao set off for these forwards, he still asked the leading general for instructions.
"This is a map sent by the emperor of Luoyang. It may be the map east of the four counties that Emperor Xiaowu ordered his sergeants to draw when he established the four counties."
"However, there are many errors in the mountains and rivers above. One of your tasks when you go this time is to compare the maps and correct some of the errors."
As Cui Ao spoke, he handed a map drawn on fine parchment to the general named Yin Xian.
"You can rest assured that Yin Xian has fulfilled his mission!"
Yin Xian said very carefully.
All the Han generals were unwilling to go on this forward mission.
Everyone knows that even if the Goguryeo rebels who lost Wandu City found a place to hide and escaped the pursuit of the Han army, it would be difficult for them to have the ability to make trouble again in the future.
Because if they go deep into the mountains and forests, it won't take long for them to become barbarians like savages.
Without the original farming and craftsmen, it will be a luxury for them to have a full stomach, and how can they revive their skills?
As a young brigade commander, Yin Xian took the initiative to volunteer.
He thought that even if he could catch up to one or two hundred military merits this time, he would be able to take his military merits to the next level.
Therefore, he felt that he had to perform well, otherwise it would be difficult for Liaodong as a whole to have another chance to gain military merit in the future.
The forward troops sent by Cui Ao'an were said to have 2,000 men. In fact, except for the four to five hundred men led by Yin Xian, the rest were all righteous soldiers, including Xianbei, Liang Fei and Goguryeo. .
A standard motley crew.
