Half a month later, the seventh batch of supplies arrived in Goguryeo.

One million stones of grain.

One million bolts of cotton.

In addition, there are all kinds of people's livelihood, plows, farm tools, pots and pans, and the most important thing is that this time, three hundred carts of refined salt were transported.

Yeon Gaesumun and others were ecstatic.

The officer responsible for the escort had a cold face.

After the official delivered the supplies, he obviously couldn't suppress his anger and said coldly: "In order to raise this batch of supplies, the entire Youyun people have scrimped on food and clothing. Your Excellency Yuan Gaisu Wen, I hope you can make good use of the people."

Yeon Gaesomun seemed to be extremely moved, and swore loudly in front of everyone, saying: "If you dare to steal a grain of rice, I will die with a knife."

After swearing, he suddenly shed two drops of crocodile tears, pretending to choke and said: "Gu Guguo loves Goguryeo so much, how dare Youyun Wuyuan Gaisuwen die to be loyal to him?"

The escort officer also seemed to be moved. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "The Governor's ability to do this is not in vain for the efforts we have made on Youyun's side."

Yuengai Suwen took the opportunity to issue an invitation and said: "Brother, I came here to escort the supplies. It was like sleeping in the open air all the way. I intend to hold a banquet tonight and entertain you..."

However, the escort officer shook his head and said seriously: "The people of Youyun are still scrimping on food and clothing, and we have no intention of eating and drinking. Let's just skip the banquet and leave more food for the people!"

After saying this, without showing any dignity to Yeon Gaesumun, he slightly arched his hands in a symbolic gesture and saluted, "Grand Governor, I'm leaving."

He turned around and strode away.

The huge escort team followed and left at the same time, along with the 10,000 troops responsible for the escort.

…

That night, dozens of wealthy Goguryeo families gathered secretly at the Andong Protectorate.

Everyone was very excited and began to divide the supplies.

Since this was already the seventh time to divide supplies, everyone's greed and courage were so extreme that some people even proposed to divide 80% of the supplies and use only 20% for relief.

This proposal made everyone even more excited, and even Yeon Gaesowun couldn't restrain his greed.

Eighty percent!

One million is deducted from 800,000.

What a huge fortune.

Fortunately, there was a calm person in this group of people, who reminded me worriedly: "If you do something too outrageous, it will be easily noticed by others. If you really share 80% of the supplies, I'm worried that something big may happen..."

It's a pity that everyone in the other wealthy families sneered.

I saw one person with a sarcastic face, saying: "What big thing can happen? It's just the government forcing the people instead. That's good, our rebel forces can grow stronger."

The man just now frowned and couldn't help but said: "Didn't you notice that the escort officer this time was full of resentment? I thought it was not him alone who had resentment, but the entire Youyun side. Even

, even Gu Tianya felt resentment rising in his heart."

"So what?"

A group of Goguryeo wealthy families sneered again and said: "The Governor has already said that this is a conspiracy. Since Gu Tianya wants to appease Goguryeo, he must comply with our conditions. If he does not provide food, he will immediately

A large number of Goguryeo people starved to death. If he does not provide supplies, will Goguryeo restore people's livelihood?"

The man frowned again and said worriedly: "But you and I both know that these supplies were not distributed to the people of Goguryeo at all. There is no airtight wall in the world, and I am always worried that one day it will be exposed."

At this time, Yuan Gaisuwen finally spoke and said calmly: "Take his supplies to support our rebels. Maybe Gu Tianya can guess something, but he has no evidence yet."

"But he will get the evidence one day." The man just spoke subconsciously.

Yeon Gaesumun laughed loudly, raised his head and exhaled leisurely, saying: "When he got the evidence, everything was no longer up to him."

The man was slightly startled and said in confusion: "What do you mean by the Governor's words?"

Yeon Gaesumun still looked up at the sky and said leisurely again: "The population of Goguryeo is eight million. Among them, there are about 1.2 million young and strong men. This is the number calculated half a year ago.

Millions of young people are regarded as subjects by Gu Tianya. It is precisely because they are regarded as subjects by him that Youyun will continue to provide supplies despite the pressure."

"However, after these supplies arrived, we secretly raised rebels."

"Those 1.2 million young men and women may appear to be obedient people on the surface, but secretly? They are practicing every day."

Everyone present sneered and said one after another: "Gu Tianya will never believe how insidious our methods are. Of the 1.2 million young men he hoped for, no one is willing to be an obedient citizen in the past six months. Hahaha

, What a pity that this man still fantasizes about appeasing his people, but he doesn’t know that these people will drag his clouds down to death.”

The man's eyes were shining just now, and he couldn't help but get excited, and said: "You mean, all of those 1.2 million young men have become rebels?"

Yeon Gaesumun said in an arrogant tone: "Farming is so tiring! Being a submissive citizen is so hard! Even if you work hard for a whole season, how many crops can you harvest from the fields?"

A person next to him smiled proudly and said: "Being a rebel is different. You can eat and drink every time, practice with weapons every day, and everyone will be strong and strong. No more farming, no more

You don’t have to endure hardship... When you run out of food, ask Gu Tianya for it, and when supplies are in short supply, ask Youyun for it. With such a simple choice, even a fool knows how to make it."

"But things are miserable over there in Youyun. The Han people are scrimping on food and clothing and struggling to survive. Every time they support a batch of supplies, their strength will be weakened. It has only been half a year, and I heard that there are already officials there drinking gruel.

"

"Hahahaha, what's funny is that Gu Tianya is still holding on."

Everyone laughed loudly and said proudly: "The harder he holds on, the more his strength weakens, but our side continues to develop in secret, and every batch of materials makes the military stronger."

Yeon Gaesumun glanced at the man just now and said: "Now you can understand why I said that even if Gu Tianya gets the evidence, it is too late. Goguryeo's 1.2 million young men have all turned into secrets.

The rebels have continued to grow with the help of Gu Tianya's supplies, and they have become stronger and stronger in half a year... When Goguryeo was not destroyed, the number of soldiers and horses at its peak was only 300,000. But now, we have 120,000 soldiers and horses.

One hundred thousand troops."

The man finally gave up his worries.

He said with excitement on his face: "The most important thing is that the strength of Youyun's side has been weakening. Since ancient times, wars have been fought for money and food, and Youyun's side has been paying money and food. Hahahaha, some of these money and food have been used

We raised the rebels, and the rest were saved as armaments. Even if Gu Tianya knew everything, what could he do to us? Send troops to fight? We have soldiers and food."

All the wealthy people present laughed and said to him: "Now you are finally relieved."

…

However, just when these people were feeling proud, they suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps in the night, and immediately after, they saw a person with a pale face running towards them.

This man was sweating profusely as he ran, and his eyes were full of panic. Before he could reach the crowd, he was already shouting from a distance, saying: "Something has happened, something big has happened..."

Plop!

It was due to physical exhaustion that he fell down not far from everyone.

Everyone present in Goguryeo was shocked. Yeon Gaesumun jumped over instantly. He personally helped the man who fell to the ground and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

But he saw that the man's face was getting paler, and the panic in his eyes had reached the extreme. Suddenly he started to tremble all over, as if he had been frightened crazy, and said: "The military camp in the mountains, the military camp in the mountains..."

Yeon Gae Suwen felt anxious and blurted out: "What happened to the military camp in the mountain?"

Then he felt that he was acting too frightened and worried, so he quickly took a deep breath to calm down, and pretended to be calm: "Is it possible that one of our military camps was discovered by the Han people, so they sent troops to encircle and suppress it? Don't worry,

Tell me slowly. Which military camp is it? How much are our losses?"

Nowadays, there are 1.2 million rebels in Goguryeo secretly, spread almost all over the mountains and forests in the territory. In the past, they were occasionally encircled and suppressed, but at most they only lost a few thousand troops.

Therefore, Yeon Gae Suwen subconsciously thought that this time it would be a simple encirclement and suppression.

He even felt it was a good thing.

After all, the occasional encirclement and suppression of a military camp by the Han people is beneficial to the overall situation. It can reduce the vigilance of the Han people and make them mistakenly believe that the encirclement and suppression is successful.

Everyone present also thought so.

Unfortunately, the next moment, everyone felt like they had fallen into an ice cave.

I saw the pale man trembling all over, and suddenly shuddered again, saying: "This time is different, this time is different. They are surrounding and killing, killing no one. There is a whole military camp, everyone is

They were all slaughtered. They didn’t leave anyone alive. The Han people will never leave anyone alive again..."

Buzz!

Everyone present felt confused.

No one left alive?

This is indeed different from previous encirclement and suppression campaigns.

When the Han people encircled and suppressed the rebels before, they basically captured them alive and took them out of the mountains. They neither sentenced them nor executed them. Instead, they sent the rebels back to their place of origin and allowed the rebels to go home and farm and become common people.

Everyone knew that it was because Gu Tianya wanted to appease his people, so he released the rebels in the hope of transforming the people into docile people.

But why this time?

He actually massacred an entire military camp!

Everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Yeon Gaesumun's eyes were dazed for a moment, then turned into a sharp look, and breathed out slowly: "Although it was just a military camp that was massacred, there must be a reason for this. I'm afraid, we have to advance..."

Before the rest of the words could be finished, suddenly there were hurried footsteps again in the night, and in the distance, another person was heard shouting in terror, saying: "Grand Governor, something happened, the military camp in the mountain forest outside Shinmaru Castle,

They were slaughtered by the Han army."

Everyone was shocked.
