Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

At this time, the people below came in and said, "Liu Shuai, Mr. Wang is back from joining the army."

"Wang Fu?"

"Yes."

"Bring it in!"

When Wang Fu walked in, he was completely different from when he first left for the expedition.

He was covered in blood, unkempt, pale, and haggard.

He was helped in by someone, and it seemed that all his strength had been exhausted.

Liu Kai asked someone to move a chair for him and let him sit down.

"I... I'm guilty..." Wang Fu's dry eyes seemed to see another tear, but his face smiled distortedly, "Liu Shuai, I'm guilty..."

Liu Qi didn't ask in a hurry, but asked someone to make hot tea for Wang Fu. After a while, Wang Fu seemed to recover a little bit.

He numbly recounted the battle of Weirong Village a few days ago.

When he said that he was attacked by Xixia cavalry and the whole army was divided from behind, causing panic, his expression twisted again.

Then, on his knees, he started yelling: "I'm guilty! I'm guilty!"

People outside could vaguely hear his desperate voice.

"Take him down, ask a doctor to take care of him, inform the military governor, and send him back to the capital after the questioning."

"Yes!"

After the person went out, under Liu Qi's calmness, a sadness welled up in his heart.

It is still unclear how many people died in the battle. It is said that the entire army was wiped out, and some people should have fled.

And Liu Xi's death was already certain.

Soon, he summoned many officials and generals from the Economic Strategy Department to discuss it.

Finally came to a conclusion: Liu Xi was responsible for the defeat.

As punishment, Liu Qi removed Liu Xi's position and salary.

As for Liu Xi's previous military achievements, that was not within the scope of Liu Kai's responsibility, but was under the supervision of the military supervisor.

Later, when Liu Kai wrote the victory and funeral reports to Zhao Guan's family, he blocked the main responsibility for the defeat of Weirong Village on his own head.

He believes that although Liu Xi is eager for quick success and instant benefits, and his arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated, but at the same time, he has improperly employed people, and he, the coach, bears an inescapable responsibility.

While writing a note to Zhao Guan's family, he also wrote a copy to Zhang Jun in Chang'an, and asked for instructions on the next step.

November [-], Goryeo, Xijing.

Miaoqing had just convened all the prominent families in Xijing to discuss the next national policy of Koryo.

They believe that the defeat of Jin Fushi is aware of the complete disintegration of the Kaijing aristocracy's control of Goryeo's power.

King Kai of Koryo needs a new assistant.

And Miaoqing was obviously very happy to stand up and become Wang Kai's chancellor.

Even the plan to move the capital to Xijing for Wang Kai was discussed.

At this time, the people below came in and said: "There is someone outside who claims to be the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin and wants to see you."

"Emissary from the Kingdom of Jin?" Miao Qing was stunned for a moment, looking at Liu Zhen and Zhao Kuang at the side.

"It's best to meet and see." Liu Zhen said, "Jin Guo is Jin Fushi's backer. Now that Jin Fushi is defeated, Jin Guo may not get the news, but we can understand Jin Fushi's thinking."

Miao Qing nodded.

After a while, the golden envoy gradually came in.

Shi Jian acted very arrogantly, instead of saluting, he said bluntly: "I heard that your country was conquered by Song?"

"Dare to ask your Excellency?"

"I am Shi Jian, the son of Shi Li'ai, who is in charge of the Privy Council of the Great Jin."

As soon as he announced his name, everyone was a little surprised.

Shi Li'ai was well-known in the Liao Dynasty, and later he made great contributions to defeating the Song Dynasty and was gradually reused. Last year, he was promoted to the Privy Council to assist in the management of military and political affairs.

"I don't know what's the important thing for you to come here?"

"I just asked. I heard that your country was conquered by Song?"

Miaoqing said: "I deceived the treacherous ministers, and the masters of the Celestial Dynasty came to set things right, so it was not a conquest."

"That's not true." Shi Jian said, "Your country has already been subject to my Dajin, and it is my Dajin's vassal state. Now that your country is conquered by the Song Dynasty, it breaks the agreement between Dajin and your country. As the suzerain country, Dajin will naturally ask about it, and you must tell the truth."

Liu Zhen said: "Jin Fushi murdered the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, turned black and white, and acted perversely. Could it be that you Jin Guo instigated it?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Shi Jian snorted coldly.

"May I ask which sentence I said wrong?"

Shi Jian didn't answer him, but said, "Do you know how many troops Song has sent?"

"We don't have to answer that question."

Shi Jian said again: "It's okay not to answer. The [-] Dajin Heavenly Soldiers are on the banks of the Yalu River at this moment, ready to go south at any time. You will quickly gather people and horses to follow my master Wang and go south to help Jin Fushi set things right!"

"Jin Fushi?" Liu Yan laughed loudly, "Hahaha, don't you know, Your Excellency?"

"I don't know what?"

"Jin Fushi was defeated and captured last month!"

Shi Jian looked shocked, and immediately said sternly: "How dare the people of Song Dynasty go against the will of His Majesty the Great Jin Emperor and use force against Goryeo without authorization!"

He stood up, looked at the people present, and said, "In a short while, my Dajin Heavenly Soldiers will go south to correct the etiquette system!"

After speaking, he left.

Liu Chen said, "Do you want to keep this person?"

"Leaving this person, the Kingdom of Jin, will have a full excuse for the army to go south."

"It's going south anyway."

"What if it's just a threat?"

Liu Chen said no more.

Just as Shi Jian left Xijing, the chief general of the Jin army stationed on the banks of the Yalu River, Wan Yan Ba ​​Li Su, also received definite information from the south of Koryo.

Shocked by the vulnerability of the Goryeo army, he immediately wrote to Liaoyang asking for further instructions.

The changes in the situation obviously exceeded Jinren's expectations.

Chapter 629 The Jin Army Goes South to Korea (Second Change)

No one can accurately predict the direction of development of things.

The various participants in an event are located in different places, the reality they faced at that time was different, and the information they received was also different.

And this information is not static, but may change at any time.

In a world where several participants face more uncertain information changes, naturally there is no one person who can calculate the development direction of the whole situation.

At most, it is possible to deduce several possible contexts of events and formulate several different strategies.

But even so, there is a certain probability that it is completely deviated from expectations.

The fundamental reason is that every participant has his own will, and through the changes at that time, he will act against the pre-plan.

After countless permutations and combinations of behaviors with several changes, a result that was completely beyond expectations was formed.

Therefore, decision makers are not in control of everything that those academics who talk about war on paper make decisions.

But those in power are often superstitious that they can cover everything through their own power, making everything according to their own design.

Apparently, the decision makers of the Golden Kingdom have not been able to escape this law.

The series of events that happened in Korea in a short period of time completely exceeded the expectations of the high-level officials of the Jin Kingdom.

The distance from the Yalu River to Liaoyang is full of mountains.

It was not until November [-]th that the news was sent to Liaoyang Mansion quickly and placed on Wanyan Xiyin's desk.

After reading this urgent report, Wanyan Xiyin's face instantly turned livid.

People outside the house suddenly heard cursing from inside, as well as the sound of tables and chairs being smashed.

"Stupid pigs! Koreans are a bunch of stupid pigs! A bunch of stupid pigs who can't help themselves!"

"Being beaten to death by the Song army in such a short time in our country! Even pigs can't do it! The Koreans did it!"

"..."

The cursing lasted for as long as a cup of tea.

Until Gao Qingyi arrived.

It was the first time for Gao Qingyi to see Wanyan Xiyin, who has always been calm and calm, lose his temper. After he walked in, he saw the mess on the ground and asked cautiously, "Shangguan, what happened?"

Wanyan Xiyin stood there, and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "The Goryeo idiots did a good job!"

Gao Qingyi walked over, picked up the urgent report on the table, and after reading it, his face also darkened.

"Stupid pigs are better than them!" Gao Qingyi was also trembling with anger.

Such a great situation has turned into this?

You know, Goryeo is a local war!

Moreover, it has already belonged to the Kingdom of Jin, that is to say, the Kingdom of Jin has a high probability of sending troops to help Goryeo.

At this time, it is even more necessary to fight a protracted war on the mainland, one is to consume the Song army, and the other is to wait for the support of the Jin Kingdom.

But fuck it, the Koreans just played a good hand of cards in a few months.

It has only been a few months since the Song army conquered Goryeo?

In three months, Jin Fushi gave away most of the troops in Kaijing and even the South!

I can't help it!

It was snowing outside, and the stove inside the house was burning.

After a long silence, Gao Qingyi said, "Shangguan, let's send troops."

"Send troops to Korea?"

"Yes, send troops to Goryeo." Gao Qingyi sighed, "If you just sit idly by and give the Song Army time, Goryeo will be completely controlled by the Song State. When the Song Army sets up another military town on the Yalu River, we will have to send more Forces are moving east again."

This is a terrible thing.

You must know that the most valuable sites are in the Hebei and Yanyun areas, where there are a large number of plains, which are also the real strategic buffer zone of the Song and Jin Dynasties, and the bridgehead for the Jin Kingdom to go south.

Once Koryo is controlled by Zhao Ning, Jin Guo will be forced to push a large amount of domestic resources eastward.

However, the Kingdom of Jin is now in the early stages of restructuring, the centralization of power has not yet been completed, and there are many great nobles in the country.

These great nobles have important resources such as population, land, army, money, etc. If they want to set up a military town along the Yalu River, who will be mobilized there?

Who wants to go to that place?

This is obviously not just a matter of strategic resource allocation, but has risen to an issue of internal political interests.

If you don't go, what should you do if the Song army made a few military towns by the Yalu River and rushed along the mountain road to Liaoyang Mansion every now and then?

If only the Song army threatened on the Yalu River side, it would be okay, but the problem is that Fuzhou was also occupied by the Song army.

Liaodong can be said to be enemies on both sides.

Wanyan Xiyin said: "Should we send troops to Koryo to fight the Song army head-on?"

"Yes, head on."

"Of course I am willing to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty." Wanyan Xiyin calmed down and said with a sigh, "But the soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be investigated."

He continued: "If the situation in Goryeo develops smoothly, the Song army is dragged into the quagmire of war, and the Xixia people are willing to go south, it is naturally an excellent opportunity to attack the Song Dynasty, and there is no need to care about any disputes, so that you can quickly get more Interests."

"At the moment, if we send troops to Koryo, not only will we not be able to profit from the war in a short period of time, but it may also cause Song to withdraw many disputes."

"After the debate is cancelled, the aristocratic bureaucrats in the country will have emotions. If the war goes well, it's fine. If it doesn't go well, there will be big internal problems."
