After arranging the royal family and high-level officials of Goguryeo, the next thing to deal with is the 20,000 soldiers in Khan City.
Although they have put down their weapons, their establishment is still there. If they are left like this, it will still be a big hidden danger.
Emperor Xin had no doubt that after he left with the expeditionary force, if he fell into an unfavorable situation in a certain battle and some people in Goguryeo saw the hope of restoring the country, then with a wave of arms, these soldiers might not be able to help them.
will be put under his command.
Twenty thousand soldiers, even if they have no weapons, are a very powerful force even if they are good at pinching and biting. Not to mention that those who dare to rebel will definitely prepare a large number of weapons to distribute.
The best way is of course to move more Goguryeo territory, but in fact this method cannot be used.
Northern Xinjiang is still the same reason, the distance is too far, and the variables involved in transferring these 20,000 soldiers there are almost more variables than the transfer of the royal family and high-level officials of Goguryeo.
Not to mention, Emperor Xin currently does not have the strength to transfer 20,000 soldiers to northern Xinjiang.
As for the eastern retreat, although the distance is suitable, it is absolutely necessary to arrange for the transfer of Goguryeo's royal family and high-level officials there.
By then, if they lead 20,000 soldiers to rebel, they may not bring a lot of trouble to Jiande City.
Di Xin saw the tangled look on Liu Jiande's face and took the initiative to ask: "Master Liu, do you have any good suggestions?"
Liu Jiande hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Highness, there are indeed two ways to humble yourself. One is safe, and the other is a bit risky."
Hearing this, except for Di Xin, Ouyang Xuan and other generals of the expeditionary force in the main hall all had strange expressions on their faces.
They discussed here for a long time but still couldn't find a definite solution. However, Liu Jiande not only had a solution, but also two.
Ouyang Xuan had become familiar with Liu Jiande during this period, and he immediately asked: "Master Liu, I don't know what the method is. Can you tell me so that I can discuss it together?"
Liu Jiande shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "This is natural."
After a pause, he saw that Prince Yu was also waiting for him to speak. He carefully considered his words and said, "I think everyone has thought of the first method."
"That's right, the 20,000 Goguryeo soldiers in Khan City will be moved to the vicinity of Jiande City together with the royal family members and high-level officials."
"This is the safest way."
Ouyang Xuan was startled, and subconsciously retorted: "What if the emperor of Goguryeo suddenly changes his mind, and there are 20,000 more soldiers, it will be a big trouble. Mr. Liu, this method does not seem safe, but is a bit too risky."
Bar?"
As he spoke, there was a hint of disappointment in his tone involuntarily.
But Liu Jiande chuckled and said, "Master Ouyang, this is wrong."
"oh?"
Ouyang Xuan looked at Liu Jiande with confusion, and most of the other generals in the hall also looked like this.
Liu Jiande explained: "Sir Ouyang, all my lords, you only thought that the emperor of Goguryeo might renege on his word, but you forgot that there are tens of thousands of our Dali men in Jiande City."
"Although my soldiers at the Eastern Border are not as strong as the Northern Border soldiers under your lords' command, they have also fought fiercely with the barbarians for many years."
"If even a mere 20,000 unarmed barbarian troops could not be suppressed, then Jiande City would have been lost to the iron hoof of the barbarians."
As he spoke, he showed a sense of confidence in the strength of the soldiers at the eastern border.
And at the end, he added: "My lords, please don't forget that it is our Jiande City soldiers who have been fighting against Goguryeo all year round. If we talk about the strength of the Goguryeo army, there is no one who knows the most about the strength of the Goguryeo army than our Jiande City soldiers."
Thousands of soldiers."
Everyone suddenly realized.
The same method proposed by them and proposed by Liu Jiande are two completely different concepts.
In the main hall, even after more than a month of fighting, when it comes to the strength of the Goguryeo army, the person who knows the most about it is still Liu Jiande, who has resisted Goguryeo's intrusion on the border for decades.
As the commander of Jiande City, Liu Jiande also knew the strength of the soldiers at the eastern border very clearly.
Therefore, he took the initiative to put forward this opinion. On the surface, it seemed that he risked moving 20,000 time bombs to the vicinity of Jiande City. In fact, it was a judgment made after carefully comparing the strengths of both sides.
If he had determined that once the 20,000 unarmed Goguryeo soldiers resisted, they would be easily suppressed by the garrison in Jiande City, then there would hardly be any mistakes.
The trouble that these 20,000 Goguryeo soldiers might bring to Jiande City is much less than Ouyang Xuan and others imagined.
Therefore, Liu Jiande said that this method is the safest, which is indeed quite safe.
Of course, only if he says it's safe can he entrust this method. If he doesn't say it, then this method is the most dangerous.
But things are not that simple.
Di Xin looked at Liu Jiande who was talking eloquently and sighed in his heart.
If it were so simple, Liu Jiande wouldn't have looked so confused just now.
The danger of this incident was not the resistance of Goguryeo's 20,000 soldiers, but the impact of moving these soldiers to Jiande City.
Influence from the capital.
Liu Jiande accompanied Emperor Xin in the crusade against Goguryeo, which actually exceeded the rules. If he was impeached, then with Liu Jiande's energy in the court, he would be peeled off even if he died.
Placing the royal family and high-ranking officials after Goguryeo's surrender in Jiande City essentially magnified the severity of the incident again. However, this was the best and only way to relocate those people, so neither Di Xin nor Liu Jiande could
say what.
And if Goguryeo's 20,000 soldiers were placed near Jiande City, it would push Liu Jiande into an abyss.
The nature of the matter changes again and again, and by then Di Xin's identity may not be able to protect Ouyang Xuan completely.
Ouyang Xuan and other generals in the hall couldn't see it, but as the most direct parties, Di Xin and Liu Jiande couldn't see how powerful it was.
But since Liu Jiande said this method, it means that he is ready to bear the consequences.
It seems that in Liu Jiande's heart, the importance of pacifying the Goguryeo and Uighur barbarians has exceeded all power, wealth and even his own life.
Gein was not only his father's legacy. During the years he served as the commander of Jiande City, he also regarded pacifying the barbarians as his life's wish.
