The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 972
King Wang Jian of Koryo, after learning the old Liu's housekeeping skill once and escaped with his wife and son, he learned that in addition to his entire army in the middle, Wu Yanchong's army on the right was almost wiped out as well.

Wang Jian felt that Naitu County was not safe at all. After waiting for the troops of Li Yimin and Li Zhichun to join them, he continued to flee north before the Song Army had arrived in Naitu County.

But it was Wang Jian's decision to wait for Li Yimin and Li Zhichun's army that made Wang Jian even more unlucky.

Li Yimin was born as a pariah in Goryeo in history, and he was also the first ruling ruler who was born as a pariah on the Korean Peninsula in the original time and space.

Mingzong Wang Hao of Goryeo was used as a puppet by powerful ministers throughout his life, and there was an endless stream of powerful ministers who came to power to control the Goryeo court. Li Yifang, Zheng Zhongfu, Qing Dasheng, and Li Yimin successively followed the road of powerful ministers.

Among them, Li Yimin has the lowest status and embarked on the road to power by relying on martial arts. How can such a person be loyal.

Li Yimin in this time and space was still a pariah, a pariah born in Goguryeo. After Goguryeo was destroyed by Wang Jian and the Jurchens, the Goguryeo people were divided into several parts, and some fled to the nearby counties of the Great Song Dynasty such as Lelang, Mahan, Chenhan, and Bianhan.

This part of the Goguryeo people is also the happiest. The Song Dynasty recruited these Goguryeo people as refugees, which is equivalent to the treatment of the Chinese people.

The remaining two groups of people were very miserable. Most of the Goguryeo people ruled by Goryeo became slaves and were oppressed, doing the heaviest labor and living the most miserable life.

However, this part of the Goguryeo people can still survive. The worst is the Goguryeo people who were captured to the Jurchens. They are also slaves but they are treated completely differently from the slaves under the rule of the Goryeo people.

Among the Goguryeo people, the Jurchens choose to be light and strong enough to kill their compatriots, and they can get the treatment of the Jurchens!
In this way, some Goguryeo people became Jurchens, and the defeated family members became slaves, which is the worst group.

And Li Yimin is the second type of slave under the rule of the Goryeo people. Such a background naturally has deep hatred for the Goryeo royal family.

Li Yimin saw that Wang Jian's army was actually smaller than his defeated army. At the same time, he thought that Wang Jian would only curry favor with the Jurchens and oppress them, so he became rebellious. On the way, he attacked and killed Aixuan, Wang Zhong and other personal guards. The father and son Wang Jian and Wang Wu were strangled, and the annexed army embarked on the broad road of being a rebellious army.

The killing of Wang Jian and Wang Wu, in addition to the killing of the first and second generation monarchs of Goryeo in history, the entire Goryeo was leaderless.

The first thing to affect is that Yin Guan of the West Route Army originally wanted to retreat and serve the king. Now that the king is dead, what is he doing?Go to the ground service king?
The entire West Route Army was at a loss, but fortunately Yin Guan had enough prestige to say: "Although the monarch (Wang Jian) ​​and the crown prince (Wang Wu) have passed away, the queen (Empress Liu of Wang Jian) ​​is still alive, and a new clan will definitely be selected as the emperor. , continue north to King Qin!"

Yin Guan used this excuse to temporarily stabilize the West Route Army, and went all the way north to the current capital of Koryo, which is the later Changjin.

Yin Guan's journey to the north was not smooth, and bad news about Goryeo came one after another.

First, the three legions led by General Yu Jin, General of the Sixteen Hussars from the Song Dynasty, Marshal Ganweihou Wenpin of the Jingzhou Army, and Ping Weisheng, General Ping Weisheng of the main island of the Song Dynasty, went north to capture the old land of Laijiu, and liberated several counties. Tens of thousands of slaves.

These Haoqiu slaves were just like the Goguryeo slaves. They became Goguryeo slaves after the defeat and deeply hated Goguryeo. They voluntarily joined the Song Dynasty army without mobilization by the Song Dynasty.

This time, it was Yu Jin who took the lead in recruiting all the yao people. After all, Wenpin and Heping belonged to Dongzhou and could not intervene in Hanzhou's military affairs.

The loss of the hinterland of Yasu made things worse for Goryeo. As mentioned earlier, the Korean Peninsula is high in the west and low in the east. The hinterland of Yaja is the Songhua River Basin, which is a large area of ​​Gangwon-do in the later Bangzi Kingdom. It is an important economic lifeline and an important granary for grain production.

In this way, south of the [-]th parallel, only the central and western regions are still in the hands of Goryeo. Yin Guan can only go to Hanyang (that is, Seoul in later generations). This is the three major capitals of Goryeo, which have not yet fallen, but this place was pinched by the North and South of the Song Dynasty. In the middle of Mahan County.

Although it is the three major capitals of Goryeo, it is not taken seriously, so Yin Guan has to retreat to the north before the Song Dynasty breaks this place.

Yin Guan continued to lead troops to the north, but received bad news one after another!
The news of Wang Jian's death and Li Yimin's rebellion quickly spread back to Goryeo. The situation was so muddy that the king was dead and the enemy was overwhelming. The key point was that Wang Jian's five adult sons all disappeared, and the rest were young sons.

Zheng Zhongfu, the minister who stayed in the capital of Goryeo, and his relative Wang Gui, supported the six-year-old Wang Yuan as the emperor, and the empress Liu's family listened to the government. It was Wanyan Aguda who sent troops.

At this time, Li Yimin and Li Zhichun were just rebel bandits and did not cause much trouble. If that were the case, the turbulent situation in Goryeo would stabilize with the efforts of the ministers, relatives, and the queen. As long as Yin Guan had troops to protect himself when he went north, the father of the clan leader sent troops to rescue him. To defeat the Song Dynasty would mean losing half of the territory at most.

However, the situation is not so smooth. In Wang Jian's party, there are not unambitious people, but too many ambitious people!
The Wang family, Wang Yong, Wang Yu, and Wang Kai, thought that since we supported the puppet to come to power and kneeled and licked the father of the suzerain, then we can do it too!Lie down and win! , why should the power be left to a relative and a woman?
Wang Yu colluded with Zheng Zhongfu's political enemy Cui Zhongxian to launch a coup!

Zheng Zhongfu and Cui Zhongxian were both powerful ministers in the history of Goryeo. One was similar to Sima Yi and the other was similar to Guo Wei. They both used various means to become powerful ministers.

In this time and space, the two do not complement each other, but they are hostile to each other. Zheng Zhongfu will definitely liquidate Cui Zhongxian when he comes to power, so the latter hits it off with Wang Yu and others.

Less than fifteen days after the little emperor Wang Yuan ascended the throne, Wang Yu and Cui Zhongxian launched a coup and killed the palace on the grounds that the Liu family was a traitor in the Song Dynasty. Cui Zhongxian beheaded Zheng Zhongfu, besieged Wang Gui, abolished and poisoned the little emperor Wang Yuan and the Liu family seemed to have gotten the news that the day of the coup and his two biological sons were missing.

What?Why is it related to Da Song?Is the Liu family a traitor in the Song Dynasty?Could it be that Jin Yiwei infiltrated the Goryeo Palace?
of course not!No matter how awesome Jin Yiwei is, if he can infiltrate to this point, what kind of war will he wage?
It was purely an excuse for a coup, because Liu's father Liu Tiangong was defeated and surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and the previous article helped the Jurchen to finish Yan Zonghan.

Of course, Wang Yu and Cui Zhongxian did not intend to be emperor themselves. Now that the emperor is a target, they just need to hide behind and seize power, so Wang Jian's other son, Wang Zhulin, was appointed as emperor.

Poor Goryeo's only loyal minister Yin Guan was on the road day and night, and his partners changed...
