"From this day forth, Goguryeo no longer exists. All that exists is the Great Sui's Liaodong Military Governor's Office.”
Yang Guang swept his gaze across the Goguryeon King, ministers, and nobles as he coldly spoke.
After Yang Guang's words, there was no sound in the palace hall. There was no warmth.
All the Goguryeons present felt their bodies turn cold and tremble.
Goguryeo was dead. It was truly dead, completely dead.
How was this possible?
We Goguryeons are not willing to surrender.
Willing to submit.
I'm willing to cede the city and pay compensation.
I'm willing to be a vassal state.
Why, why did Great Sui do this?
All the ministers and nobles of Goguryeo could not understand why Great Sui would treat them like this.
"Yang Guang!" Gao Yuan shouted.
Gao Yuan's originally dull eyes became fierce, and his expression gradually became ferocious.
"My Goguryeo has been established for several hundred years. How can it perish? How can it perish in my hands?”
Gao Yuan paused for a moment before turning to the officials and nobles of Goguryeo.
"Where is the honor of your ancestors? Do you really want our Goguryeo to fall?”
"Yang Guang can kill all of us, but can he kill all of us?”
"I, the King of Goguryeo, command all Goguryeons to resist the Great Sui. As long as there is a single Goguryeon in this world, Goguryeo will not perish.”
Gao Yuan continued to shout, but none of the Goguryeon officials and nobles replied.
The loyal ministers of the Goguryeon King had all been killed by Yang Guang.
The remaining half were all cowards.
Moreover, who wouldn't want to live if they could?
Goguryeo's complete destruction was already destined, and they would not die with the King of Koryo.
Even without Goguryeo, there was still the Liaodong Military Governor's Office.
At this moment, as long as they didn't anger Yang Guang, they could live. They might even become officials of the Liaodong Military Governor's Office.
They had all seen Yang Guang's brutality and fearlessness just now.
Now that the King of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan, was about to be killed, how could they dare to say anything?
In the palace hall, there was only silence. Only Gao Yuan's roar could be heard.
"Haha, so this is a noble of Goguryeo? This is my Goguryeon's official?"
"Good, good, good. You are truly good nobles and good subjects of Goguryeo.”
"But do you think you can live? You can't live, but I can.”
Gao Yuan carefully looked at the Goguryeon nobles and ministers before turning to Yang Guang and laughing bitterly.
"Yang Guang, I am willing to surrender. I am willing to go to Luoyang.”
He knew that Yang Guang wouldn't kill him, because as long as he was alive, Yang Guang could use him to control Goguryeo.
He would only kill him when he was no longer useful.
It was better to live for now and deal with it in the future.
It had to be said that Gao Yuan was really smart for a while. Yang Guang indeed did not plan to kill him.
"Your Majesty, this subject is willing to surrender. This subject knows where the King of Goguryeo's treasury is.”
"Your Majesty, this subject is also willing to surrender. This subject can persuade the Goguryeon soldiers to surrender.”
"Your Majesty, this subject is also willing to surrender. This subject can offer it up."
......
After hearing the Goguryeon King's words, the nobles and ministers of Goguryeon hurriedly said.
"Gao Yuan, look at them. They are the nobles and subjects of Goguryeo.”When Yang Guang heard this, his gaze swept over Gao Yuan and he laughed involuntarily.
Unfortunately, Gao Yuan did not pay attention to Yang Guang. Yang Guang did not care and just called out.
"Yu Wenshu."
"Your subject is here." Yu Wenshu immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"Bring the King of Goguryeo back to Luoyang and imprison him. Also, take away the nobles of Goguryeo who are willing to go to Luoyang.”
Before Yang Guang could finish his words, the Goguryeon nobles and ministers hurriedly pleaded.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Luoyang.”
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to go to Luoyang.”
......
"Chen Zhibao." Yang Guang ignored the Goguryeon nobles and ministers and called out.
"Your Majesty, I'm here." Chen Zhibao stood out and cupped his hands.
"Leave at least half of these Goguryeon nobles behind. Take care of them, use those that can be used, and kill those that can't.”
Yang Guang pointed at the nobles of Goguryeo.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Zhibao accepted the order and cupped his hands.
"Chen Zhibao, stay behind. Everyone else, leave!”Yang Guang waved his hand and said.
Following Yang Guang's words, Yu Wenshu and the general of the Sui army slowly withdrew from the hall.
Of course, the ministers and nobles of Goguryeo were also dragged away by the Sui army, as was the King of Goguryeo.
These people were useful, not to mention their wealth and power.
Just the fact that they could quickly occupy and stabilize Goguryeo meant that they needed to be spared.
A moment later.
Only Yang Guang and Chen Zhibao were left in the palace.
"Chen Zhibao, you too." Yang Guang sat on the throne and gestured.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Zhibao cupped his hands and said,
"We have handed Goguryeo over to you. If you have any doubts or difficulties, you can speak now.”Yang Guang changed to a comfortable sitting position and said.
In front of the characters that the system had signed in, Yang Guang was very casual, and Chen Zhibao was a character that the system had signed in.
"Your Majesty, I have no doubts or difficulties.”When Chen Zhibao heard this, he hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands.
"Alright, there's no need to stand up. Just make yourself at home. There are no outsiders here.”Yang Guang waved his hand and said.
Yang Guang could be more casual, but Chen Zhibao couldn't and didn't dare to.
"Although Goguryeo isn't a good place, it's very suitable to serve as my rear.”
"This is the reason why I arranged for you to be here. Now that the Great Sui is somewhat chaotic, I am not sure if those are loyal officials or treacherous officials.”
"That's why I need you to help me with logistics in Goguryeo. Goguryeo has some mines, and I need you to mine them for me.”
......
Yang Guang wanted to tell Chen Zhibao some of his thoughts. Only when Chen Zhibao understood Yang Guang's thoughts could he better carry out Yang Guang's orders.
Of course, Chen Zhibao knew a little about Great Sui's current situation, so after Yang Guang finished speaking, Chen Zhibao quickly said.
"I will not disappoint Your Majesty's trust."
Yang Guang nodded slightly. He had never doubted Chen Zhibao's loyalty and ability.
"There's one more thing. I want you to train the 160,000 soldiers of the Imperial Army. These 160,000 soldiers aren't my soldiers.”
"These 160,000 Imperial Army soldiers come from noble families. I want you to turn these 160,000 Imperial Army soldiers into elite troops loyal to me within a year.”
"Are you confident?"
The soldiers under the control of these aristocratic families were fierce and had high combat strength. If they wanted to completely control them, they would need some methods.
However, this was not difficult for Chen Zhibao.
