In other words, in fact, the most normal development direction is that there are no accidents.
As we all know, the fifth prince of Dali, His Highness Prince Yu, had his foundation completely destroyed two years ago, resulting in a total loss of cultivation. Now two years later, despite such a long period of recovery, he is only on par with ordinary people.
To deal with a person whose foundation has been completely destroyed, if you attack suddenly, even if there are many people protecting you, there may not be no possibility of success.
As long as you are willing to risk your life and use mental arithmetic to break through the protection of the innate great master Zeng Hongshen and attack Emperor Xin, the difficulty is actually not that high in the eyes of a strong person in the second level.
And as long as he can attack Prince Yu, even if it's just a hasty attack, the strong man in the second level will have the confidence to successfully kill this useless prince whose foundation has been completely destroyed.
However, killing a person is easy, but not everyone can bear the consequences.
Killing King Yu, the great general of Northern Xinjiang, can indeed end the expedition of the Immortal Army, but before that, the Goguryeo royal family, officials, soldiers and even the people in Khan City now have to endure the Immortal Army.
The anger after the death of the commander.
By then, the other barbarians around Dali will indeed be safe, but Goguryeo will still be destroyed, and the end will be even worse.
In this era, the massacre of the city after the battle would not attract too much criticism. In fact, if Emperor Xin had not strictly prohibited it, in order to ensure the stability of the rear during this expedition, the expeditionary generals represented by Ouyang Xuan were initially prepared to massacre the city to avoid future troubles.
.
The Goguryeo royal family could not be so selfless as to sacrifice themselves and make dowries for others. Therefore, even if there was still a second-level strongman under their command, they did not have any evil intentions.
The emperor of Goguryeo could not change his mind, and Di Xin's series of preparations were of no use, but he had no regrets at all.
Those preparations were just in case, so it would be best if nothing happened now.
After the emperor of Goguryeo signed and stamped the surrender document, it officially meant that Goguryeo had been subjugated and its territory was legally included in the territory of Dali.
Then, the army entered the city.
After the surrender document was signed, the 20,000 Goguryeo soldiers in the city officially laid down their weapons, and the army under Emperor Xin quickly rushed to the capital and took over the defense of Khan City.
During this process, just in case, the royal family and high-level officials of Goguryeo could only stay under the protection of the Immortal Army for the time being.
It is said to be protection, but in fact it is surveillance in disguise, and both parties are well aware of this.
In order not to irritate the prince in northern Xinjiang, the Goguryeo side chose to cooperate to the greatest extent during the entire process.
After taking over the defense of Khan City, the first thing to deal with was the arrangement of the Goguryeo royal family and high-level officials.
It is obviously not possible to continue to let them stay in Khan City. If they suddenly rebel after Emperor Xin leaves, they will definitely gain the support of a large number of people without saying anything.
Not even just Khan City, but anywhere in Goguryeo.
In the Khan City, in the palace of Goguryeo, Emperor Xin looked at Liu Jiande who was standing with his hands hanging down.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "Mr. Liu, can the original royal family and high-level officials of Goguryeo be temporarily accommodated in Jiande City?"
Since Emperor Xin promised not to kill them, he naturally couldn't break his promise and get rich. However, the northern Xinjiang was too far away and there were too many variables. After all, the only option was to stay in the nearby Jiande City on the eastern border.
Jiande City is garrisoned by tens of thousands of border guards from Dali. Once they are gone, the original royal family or high-level officials of Goguryeo will not be able to make any trouble even if they want to do anything.
The question now is whether Liu Jiande can accept this suggestion.
After all, the eastern border has been invaded by Goguryeo and Uighur barbarians for many years, and the real culprits are the Goguryeo royal family and high-level officials after the surrender. It is not an exaggeration to say that the hatred is as deep as the sea.
In this case, could he accept moving these people to Jiande City?
But it is obvious that Liu Jiande is a person with an overall view.
Faced with Di Xin's question, he agreed without much hesitation.
"This is the best arrangement at the moment. I humbly obey my orders."
With such a quick answer, it was obvious that he had already thought about this issue before coming here.
Emperor Xinyou gave a worried warning and said: "Master Liu, you must remember that after these people are sent to Jiande City, even if they cannot be treated preferentially, they must not be mistreated or even killed."
Liu Jiande cupped his hands and said, "I understand the humble position."
Di Xin then nodded and felt a little relieved.
Saving the lives of those people and keeping their promises were secondary. In fact, the main purpose was to use these people to contain possible resistance forces in Goguryeo.
After all, those people represent the orthodoxy of Goguryeo. No matter who they are, they cannot be avoided as long as they are doing good for Goguryeo.
Therefore, as long as these people are in the hands, those resisting forces will be afraid of them.
Although it does not guarantee that all the resistance forces will die out, it will undoubtedly reduce the difficulty for the Dali soldiers stationed in the Goguryeo city.
At the same time, since Di Xin did not kill the royal family and high-ranking officials of Goguryeo, and did not torture them, then in the eyes of the lower-level officers, soldiers and people of Goguryeo, there is a high probability that they will not settle accounts with them.
After all, the trial never let go of the main criminal, but it caught some minor characters who were just following orders and refused to let go.
Therefore, this can also reduce the rebellious psychology of the lower-level soldiers and common people, and facilitate the follow-up management of Dali officials.
This can be said to be killing three birds with one stone.
Liu Jiande also knew the benefits of doing so, so he did not feel dissatisfied.
In the final analysis, most of the grievances between Dali and Goguryeo came from the different needs of the two forces, and there were not many personal grievances. Now that Goguryeo has ceased to exist in name only and has perished, it is time for those grievances to disappear.
As long as after ten or decades of assimilation, Goguryeo will truly integrate into Dali, so why bother doing anything superfluous now.
As for the Goguryeo royal family and high-ranking officials, their opinions are not important.
If Di Xin can promise not to kill anyone after surrender, he is already widening the net. No matter how unwilling they are to deal with them in the future, they can only accept it calmly.
The loser has no say.
And when Emperor Xin's decision was conveyed through Wei San to the members of the Goguryeo royal family and high-ranking officials who were under house arrest by Dali soldiers, they were also very sensible and did not express any opinions.
