The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 973
Yin Guan took the left-wing army that had originally gone south to invade the Song Dynasty and went north to King Qin, but before reaching the capital, the emperor changed another round.

Wang Yong, Wang Yu, Wang Kai's lineage, and Cui Zhongxian led the Wang's group to overthrow the original Wang Jian's Wang's group and seize power.

Just when the Wang family headed by Wang Yong thought that as long as the Suzerain's father and Yin Guan's King Qin army repelled the invasion of the Song Dynasty, they would be able to take power alone.

It seems that God made a big joke with them. Zhou Yu, Marshal Yinglong of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhu Huan, Marshal of the Huaizhou Army Marquis Yongqin, and Li Bao of the Jinfan Battalion went north from the East China Sea to land in Hongyuan County of the later generation.

And this place is less than a few hundred miles away from Koryo, and it can be reached in two days at the fastest marching speed, and no one on the Koryo side knows about it.

Zhou Yu ordered the whole army to speed up and go straight to Changjin County, the capital of King Goryeo. Three days later, tens of thousands of troops arrived in Changjin.

Zhu Huan's general Gao Huailiang, who led the vanguard, led Minamoto Yorimitsu, Sakata Kintoki, Bubu Jiwu, Takeda Nobuyoshi and others will rush into the city before the city gate is closed, and the Goryeo capital is broken.

Cui Zhongxian was beheaded by Takeda Xinyi before he had been a power minister for a few days, while Wang Yu, Wang Kai, and Wang Yong were killed by the rebel army. Finally, Zhu Huan found that there was only one little emperor Wang Zhulin left in the Wang Jian clan, and the other clans But none survived.

After looking for someone to find out, I found out that all the wives and descendants of Wang Jian were killed by Wang Yu and Cui Zhongxian except for the little emperor. In particular, Cui Zhongxian messed up the harem, punished the ministers, and destroyed some of the last family properties of Goryeo in the capital. clean.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with the Song Dynasty, but there are still a lot of things missing. Zhou Yu once again attacked the capital of a regime, and the second time after the Kamakura shogunate.

Even Lu Heng wanted to give Zhou Yu the title of 'King of Tower Stealing' after learning all this!

Following Zhou Yu's "stealing the crystal" and the complete destruction of Goryeo, several orders were issued to let Li Bao and Zhu Huan, one from the south and one from the north, respectively annex the territory of Goryeo before the Jurchens reacted.

The second is to release all the slaves of Goguryeo, Yeji, and Sanhan.

The third sent troops to overthrow all Goryeo nobles together with the freed slaves.

The last two orders almost wiped out the Koryo aristocracy, and they will always be a minority relative to the lower class aristocrats. After these aristocrats were slaughtered, it was convenient for the Song Dynasty to govern the Koryo territory.

In addition to Zhou Yu's bold and resolute emancipation of slaves in Koryo, Zhu Huan went north and took Jiashan County (later Huishan City). This northern plateau area is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Li Bao went to the south and took the later Yuanshan City, which was connected to the hinterland of Yajiu that Yu Jin had just taken, and it was even connected to the city of Lelang County in Liaozhou.

In this way, Lelang County finally no longer hangs alone outside the border and has no danger to defend. Instead, it has become the defense line of the Korean Peninsula along with Changjin and Jiashan.

Wanyan Aguda received two letters in a row, one from Wang Jian and the other from Wang Yuan, and knew that something was wrong. react.

First of all, let Wanyan Zonghan give up the confrontation with Wang Shao, and retreat to the domestic city (Ji'an in later generations), an important town in the west of Koryo.

Second, let Wanyan Zongwang's army retreat to garrison the Jurchen hinterland to guard against the Mongols.

The third Wanyan Aguda personally led troops south to rescue Goryeo.

Goryeo is too important to the Jurchens to be lost. A large number of iron mines, craftsmen, population, food, and economy are exploited from Goryeo.

As the suzerain's father, the Jurchen went south seriously and quickly this time, but it was too late. The important and dangerous city was captured by Zhou Yu. Yu Jin, Shi Wengong, Song Jiang, Wenpin and others led troops north to join Zhou Yu.

The Jurchens went south, causing the slaves who had not been released for a long time to develop resistance. The rare freedom does not need to be deprived of all the slaves, and they began to spontaneously help the Song army defend the city against Wanyan Aguda.

In an instant, the situation on the Korean Peninsula was reversed, and the Jurchens were in a very passive state.

On the other hand, when Zhou Yu's series of lightning-like actions took down a large area of ​​Koryo land, Yin Guan had just arrived in Seoul, the later generation, but got the news of Koryo's subjugation.

Yin Guan, who was stubborn in the center, looked up to the sky and cried loudly: "At that time, I tried to persuade Your Majesty to regret it!"

That's right, when Wang Jian wanted to go south, Yin Guan strongly opposed it, thinking that although the main battlefield of the Liao and Jin alliances was not in Koryo, it could be done in a positive way.

It is obvious that Wang Jian did not listen to Yin Guan's opinion, and insisted on going south with all his troops, but now he has destroyed the country in one battle.

Goryeo was destroyed, and Yin Guan, who was already sixty years old, became ill and was unable to command the army. The morale of the army was also low and the country was gone. He didn't know what to do.

Because of Yin Guan's illness, Li Ziqian took control of the army. This man was also an ambitious careerist, and he was a well-known powerful minister in the history of Goryeo.

After the demise of Goryeo, Li Ziqian also began to be confused. The only remaining area is Hanchen, including the small area of ​​Gyeonggi-do, Chungcheongnam-do, and Chungcheongbuk-do in the later Bangzi country. The most terrifying thing is that it has been surrounded by the Song Dynasty and cannot develop. .

Although Li Ziqian is ambitious, he is not stupid. He knows that even with an army and such a small territory, he is not a terrible opponent like Da Song at all.

When Li Ziqian was still hesitating about what to do, Yin Guan suddenly recovered from his illness, and even raised the banner of "revenge for the country and restore Goryeo"!

It was this banner that led Li Ziqian to make the final decision!

Without him, Yin Guan's act of courting death attracted Guo Kui and Chun Yuqiong's legions to encircle and suppress them. At this time, Zhou Yu led the main force to confront the Jurchens, and Wang Shao's legion went north to feint to attack Yan Zonghan, and at the same time sent Liaozhou cavalry to support Zhou Yu.

At this juncture, Yin Guan didn't force Da Song to slap this fly to death first!
Yin Guan wanted to die with Goryeo, but Li Ziqian hadn't lived enough and hadn't enjoyed his rights yet, since Yin Guan wanted to die by himself, he couldn't be blamed!
Li Ziqian launched a coup again, killing Yin Guan, Yin Yanzhi, Yin Yanyi, Yin Yanmin, father and son, and after completely controlling the army, he surrendered to Marshal Guo Kui.

Li Ziqian is very smart and very cunning. After surrendering to Guo Kui, he immediately gave up his military power, handed over all his troops to Guo Kui, and asked to see the Emperor of Song Dynasty!

Li Ziqian has already figured it out, there is no need to waste time in the small land of Goryeo, with the help of this promotion, Da Song can also let him travel.

With Li Ziqian's surrender, Da Song took over the entire Korean peninsula.
