Chapter 415 [Someone is doing things in secret]
Gu Tianya suddenly asked: "Is the Lord of Shinmaru City still alive?"
This question was so unexpected that Yeon Gae So-wen was obviously startled, but he immediately reacted, shook his head and said, "He's already dead. He died in battle."
He hesitated for a moment and then added: "It is said that this man was extremely brave when he died. He was stabbed several times and still fought hard with his eyes wide open and never fell down."
Gu Tianya frowned slightly and asked again: "But how did I hear that this man wanted to surrender on the battlefield? But he killed more than a dozen of Zhao Laosi's comrades, causing the soldiers to hate him deeply, so he did not accept the surrender.
.”
Yeon Gae Suwen was startled again and said in astonishment: "Is it because my information is inaccurate?"
Gu Tianya turned around and looked down at the whole city, and mused: "Zhao Laosi has a simple and honest personality and doesn't have much scheming. It's impossible for him to lie to me, and he doesn't have the brains to lie..."
Yuangaisumi's face gradually became serious and he said: "In other words, the Lord of Shinmaru City did not die heroically in battle. Instead, he was begging for mercy on the battlefield, but unfortunately he was not surrendered by the soldiers."
He paused slightly as he spoke, and then added hesitantly: "If that's the case, why did the news of his heroic death in battle spread again?"
Gu Tianya suddenly laughed and said with deep meaning: "This is a very simple routine. Although simple, it is very effective. The hero dies in battle and inherits the legacy. If this can inspire the Goguryeo people to share the same hatred and hatred, it will inevitably
It can breed strong hatred and hatred among the people..."
"As this news continues to spread, people's hatred will continue to grow. As a result, it will be more difficult to appease and naturalize."
Gu Tianya paused for a moment when he said this, turned to look at Yeon Gaesumun, and said meaningfully: "Obviously, there are experts among those restoration forces. And you were once the most powerful minister of Goguryeo, and you know Goguryeo well.
Everything is going on internally, so tell me, who is the master on the other side?"
Yeon Gaesumun fell into deep thought.
After a long while, Yeon Gaesumun spoke slowly and whispered: "On that day, the imperial city of Goguryeo was destroyed, and all the royal family were slaughtered by me. As for the civil and military ministers in the court, I also killed them all. However,
One person escaped from the palace early."
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Tianya, who was smiling all over his face. They both spoke almost at the same time, saying someone's name, "The Lord of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan."
Yeon Gaesumun took a deep breath and said with a cold face: "This man has been the king of the country for thirty years, and what he is best at is playing with power. Now it seems that the death of the lord of Shinmaru Castle in the battlefield was the news he released
.”
He paused for a moment, then suddenly a murderous look flashed in his eyes, and then said: "The general will set out now and search the entire territory of Goguryeo to find him. Originally, I thought he was a lost dog, so I didn't take him seriously.
Go... I didn’t expect that he didn’t give up and was still doing things secretly.”
Gu Tianya chuckled and said: "I am an emperor after all. How can I be willing to lose my country suddenly? As for what he is doing secretly, let him continue to do it."
Yeon Gaesumun was startled again, and said in astonishment again: "Aren't you going to catch him?"
Gu Tianya smiled and waved his hands, and said with a deep meaning: "Don't arrest him, don't arrest him, it's better to keep him and let him continue to fabricate false news."
Yeon Gaesumun looked confused and said, "Why is this?"
Gu Tianya turned his head and looked into the distance and said: "Whenever he forges a false news, we will release a corresponding true news. He is doing it secretly, and we will publicize it in the open. So the confrontation between this true news and false news
The process became the process of psychological transformation of the Goguryeo people."
"Now that you are an important minister under my command, you can be regarded as my direct descendant, so I might as well reveal a secret to you. I originally planned to find someone to spread false news."
"Now that Gao Yuan is actively cooperating, wouldn't it be playing into my hands?"
Gu Tianya smiled as he spoke, and then said: "To appease and naturalize the people, sometimes it is necessary to do the opposite. Let hatred grow in their hearts first, and then we will take action to eliminate it. The stronger the hatred of the people, the more it will be eliminated after it is eliminated.
The hesitation becomes heavier..."
"As for why the people are hesitant? It's because they have lost their spiritual sustenance! It's not even that they have lost their spiritual sustenance, but they have discovered that their spiritual sustenance is fake. At this time, do you think they will be extremely lost and depressed?"
Yeon Gaesumun took a deep breath and said slowly: "More than just loss and depression, this is an extremely heavy psychological blow."
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Tianya and said with admiration: "No people can bear this kind of blow. At that time, they will turn to hate their former spiritual sustenance."
Even the spiritual sustenance has begun to hate, so how can we talk about the obsession with restoring the country?
Gu Tianya turned around and for the first time adopted a commanding tone, and said in a deep voice: "Within three days, I will announce to the whole territory that the Lord of Shinmaru City is begging for mercy. I ask every Goguryeo to hear it."
Yeon Gaesumun bowed and said, "I will take care of it immediately."
This time he did not call himself a subordinate, but tentatively called himself a minister. Gu Tianya smiled slightly, nodded and said: "When the day comes when I found the country, I will definitely give you a ministerial position."
Yeon Gaesumun had a look of surprise on his face, and he was obviously relieved, and said quickly: "I will be the governor of the Andong Governor's Mansion for the time being, and I will do my best to help you naturalize the people of Goguryeo."
Gu Tianya nodded again, smiled and joked: "This is a great achievement. It seems that I have to give you a knighthood."
…
Things always happen by chance.
When Gu Tianya and Yuengai Suwen talked about Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan was also talking about Gu Tianya...
This is a dense forest in Goguryeo, less than thirty miles away from Shinmaru Castle. After the Liaodong War, Shinmaru Castle set up the Andong Governor's Office. From that day on, more than ten troops were stationed. Regarding the restoration of Goguryeo,
In terms of power, Shinmaru Castle is the most dangerous area.
Unfortunately, the former leader of Goguryeo was hiding in this area.
"The Han people have a saying in their military art that the most dangerous place is the safest. You think your country is in great danger, but you don't know that this is the best place."
"We are only thirty miles away from Shinmaru Castle. We keep an eye on the city's movements at all times. The Han people would never have imagined that the headquarters of the Goguryeo restoration forces is right under their noses."
As expected of a former emperor, he could still talk eloquently even if the country was broken. Gao Yuan was seen standing with his hands behind his hands, with a leisurely expression on his face, as if he was not in despair, but continued to be the emperor.
Suddenly he looked at the people in front of him and asked with a slight smile: "It has been two months since the news spread. How have the people of Shinmaru City reacted? Are their hearts filled with hatred and wishing to tear the Han people into pieces?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
A scribe walked out of the crowd, bowed his hands and saluted Gao Yuan, and said: "Since the news of the death of the Lord of Shinmaru Castle in the battlefield spread, many people have been impressed by his 'heroic and unyielding', which has inspired the same hatred of the enemy.
Feeding on Han flesh and blood..."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Gao Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed, and said leisurely: "This is just the beginning, it will be more interesting in the future. The Han people invaded my land, and Gu Tianya turned it into a territory. However, even if it became his territory, he will always have to
It is not popular among the people."
"Those are my people of Goguryeo, and they will never submit to Han rule."
…
As evening approached, the little beggar worked hard all day.
A loud shouting sounded in the distance. It was the Han craftsmen who were calling everyone to stop work. The little beggar stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat and found a place to sit down.
He held his knees with both hands and raised his head in a daze. There seemed to be some confusion in his eyes, which soon turned into determination.
There was a deep hatred hidden in his heart.
At this moment, footsteps came from behind him, and then an extremely gentle voice sounded, asking him: "Little guy, are you in a daze again?"
The little beggar knew without turning his head that this was the Han official in charge of their team.
In the past two months, this official had been very kind to him.
Out of habit, he raised his head.
Sure enough, he soon felt that someone was gently touching his forehead. The movement was very gentle and showed a sense of kindness. The little beggar subconsciously wanted to hide, but finally chose to accept it.
In his heart, he longed for this kind of happiness of being pampered.
Even if the person doting on him is a hateful Han...
At this time, he heard a gentle voice again. It was obviously a Han official talking to him again. He said with a smile: "Little guy, don't be in a daze. Today's work is done. Let's do the counting according to the rules."
While talking, the official handed over the booklet and said with a warm smile: "It's still the same old thing, just press your fingerprints."
The little beggar raised his hand habitually and pressed his fingerprint on it.
The official chuckled and wanted to touch his forehead again. However, this time the little beggar ducked slightly, turned his head and whispered: "I have been working all day."
Gu Tianya smiled as he spoke, and then said: "To appease and naturalize the people, sometimes it is necessary to do the opposite. Let hatred grow in their hearts first, and then we will take action to eliminate it. The stronger the hatred of the people, the more it will be eliminated after it is eliminated.
The hesitation becomes heavier..."
"As for why the people are hesitant? It's because they have lost their spiritual sustenance! It's not even that they have lost their spiritual sustenance, but they have discovered that their spiritual sustenance is fake. At this time, do you think they will be extremely lost and depressed?"
Yeon Gaesumun took a deep breath and said slowly: "More than just loss and depression, this is an extremely heavy psychological blow."
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Tianya and said with admiration: "No people can bear this kind of blow. At that time, they will turn to hate their former spiritual sustenance."

Gu Tianya turned around and for the first time adopted a commanding tone, and said in a deep voice: "Within three days, I will announce to the whole territory that the Lord of Shinmaru City is begging for mercy. I ask every Goguryeo to hear it."
