By the time Cai was still entering the city, the Jinwu army had already occupied Naseong and surrounded the royal palace of Goryeo, and the envoys sent by Goryeo for peace talks (i.e., Kim Fushi, Jung Keyong, and Kang Ho) had also arrived at the Jinwu army.

It can be said that the overall situation has been decided at this time.

The rest is that Cai still has to make a decision, what to do with the people of this city?

When Cai still came to the mansion, and participated in the decisive battle with Liu Qi and was invited by Liu Qi to take over Luocheng, General Lu immediately stepped forward to ask Cai still for instructions: "Lord, the envoys of Goryeo have been waiting for you for a long time, do you want to see them?" ”

didn't want to, but Cai still didn't even think about it, so he said: "No, we don't have time to waste with them, tell them, either surrender unconditionally, or we will attack the palace directly." ”

Joke!

It's all been fought to this extent, what else to talk about?

The point is that Cai still has the idea of occupying Goryeo and treating Goryeo as his own place of Longxing, and the two sides have irreconcilable sharp contradictions, and there is no basis for peace talks at all.

Besides, the capture of Luocheng is not the end of Cai Ying, on the contrary, it is just a starting point for Cai Zhen, how can Cai still not take advantage of the Northwest Army of Goryeo to react and occupy some more advantages?

Even, Cai still had the heart to complete the first phase of the strategic goal before the Western Army of Goryeo reacted, that is, to occupy the southern region of Goryeo (that is, Korea in later generations).

In this case, how can Cai still not race against time?

With Cai Zhen's instructions, the rest will be easy to do.

Actually-

Li Yanxian had already piled up enough explosives to blow up the palace wall under a palace city.

Cai still gave an order, only to hear the Goryeo palace "Boom!" There was a loud sound like the sky cracking.

Jin Fushi, Zheng Keyong, and Jiang Hao, who were still waiting for Hou Cai to summon them, immediately felt that the ground was shaking!

"What sound?" Jiang Hao asked with a shocked expression.

No one answered Kang Ho.

After a while, someone suddenly came to inform Jin Fushi, Zheng Keyong, and Jiang Hao: "Your palace has been breached by us, and now it is being completed, and the Lord has asked me to inform you, you can return to your master, and then discuss with your master how to welcome him." ”

When Zheng Keyong heard this, his eyes moved, and then without saying a word, he got up and walked out.

Jin Fushi and Jiang Hao's speed is not slow, Zheng Keyong just walked out with the front foot, and they also went out with the back foot.

The three of them found their horses and then beat them back to the palace.

Some distance from the king's palace they saw a section of the palace wall missing.

Beyond that section of the palace wall, there was a corpse in one place - the corpse of Wang Kai's last relied on the Qianniu guard.

A quick glance saw that there were no less than thousands of corpses there, and Jin Fushi and the three estimated that Qianniuwei should also exist in name only.

By the time Jin Fushi and the three of them arrived at the palace, someone had already started cleaning the palace.

Obviously, the Goryeo side did not have this mood at this time, and those who were in this mood, the answer was obvious - it could only be the Kim Wu army.

Thinking that Cai was about to move into the Goryeo Palace, Kim Fushi, Zheng Keyong, and Kang Ho all felt a deep sense of humiliation in their hearts, and at the same time he was worried, wondering what the fate of the country of Goryeo would be?

After Zheng Keyong arrived at the palace, he immediately gave Li Ziqian a look.

Seeing this, Li Ziqian did not shy away from coming to the side with Zheng Keyong.

Zheng Keyong whispered: "According to the news found by the lower officials, Cai is still in the city, but he refuses to negotiate peace with our Goryeo...... It may be that they want to take away the territory south of our Goryeo, or even want to take away our entire Goryeo. ”

Li Ziqian's pupils shrank and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Zheng Keyong shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, I just heard the two soldiers of the Jinwu Army whispering that this time they can finally settle down, so I inferred this." ”

Li Ziqian immediately asked, "Did you really hear such words?" ”

Zheng Keyong said: "The people who said this said it in Khitan, they should be Khitan, and the lower officials guessed that they should not have thought that the lower officials still understood the Khitan language, so they would say this in front of the lower officials." ”

After hearing this, Li Ziqian said with a solemn face: "In this way, it is impossible to send them away easily?" ”

Zheng Keyong hesitated for a moment and said: "Taishi, according to the lower officials, it is better for Taishi to fight for the division of Goryeo with that Cai Ying." ”

Li Ziqian looked at Zheng Keyong, frowned, and said, "You made me a sinner in Goryeo?" ”

Zheng Keyong said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid I can't help us now, in this battle, Cai still sent 70,000 elite troops, which means that Cai's army in Goryeo may exceed 100,000, Taishi, don't forget, there has been news that there is an army invading the south in the south, and Cai is still in Yanyun There are still men and horses, he can quietly transport 100,000 horses, and he can transport another 100,000 horses, in this case, even if the Northwest Army can come back to King Qin, I am afraid it will not be able to change the current situation, so it is better for a strong man to break his wrist, And then slowly draw it. ”

Zheng Keyong knew that Li Ziqian had always wanted to replace Wang Kai, and he said: "This time Goryeo provoked Cai Yi, a bad star, it is impossible for Your Majesty not to bear the corresponding responsibility, if the Taishi can turn the tide and lead Goryeo out of a way of life, everyone should be able to respect the Taishi as the king." ”

Li Ziqian's expression moved, and then asked noncommittally, "What do you think?" ”

Zheng Keyong lifted his spirits and said: "Isn't it true that the fourth miss hasn't entered the palace yet, you can give the fourth miss to that Cai Yi." ”

Secretly glanced at Li Ziqian's expression, and seeing that Li Ziqian did not show displeasure, Zheng Keyong was greatly encouraged, and he said: "However, with the fourth lady alone, I am afraid that Cai Yi's ambition will not be satisfied." ”

Zheng Keyong said in a deep voice: "This is not the time to be stingy, the Li family is a beautiful person in the world, the Taishi wants to find a way, make up ten young beauties for Cai Ying, and the lower officials will find a way to send Cai still over, so that the Taishi can contact Cai still first, and then wait and see what happens." ”

Zheng Keyong gritted his teeth and said: "This idea is from the lower official, the lower official can't help but take responsibility, the lower official has two daughters, who are twins, although the appearance is a little worse than the fourth lady, but the victory is still some characteristics, and the right is used as the number of two." ”

Li Ziqian is a family that relies on his daughter, of course he will not spare a daughter, let alone other Li family daughters.

In fact, Li Ziqian's most powerful political method is to send a daughter.

No!

It should be said that the most powerful political method in the country of Goryeo is to send women.

This is not Black Goryeo.

Do you think that the Jin destroyed the Liao and the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Mongols destroyed the Jin, Western Xia, Southern Song and European states, how did Goryeo survive under such a cruel situation, it actually relied on women to survive.

When Kim was strong, Goryeo presented beautiful women to Kim Jin.

When Meng Yuan was strong, Goryeo presented beauties to Meng Yuanjin.

In the 119 years between the establishment of Jin and the joint destruction of Jin by the Mongols and the Southern Song Dynasty, Goryeo sent envoys to Jin 194 times, and each time a large number of beauties were offered.

However, this is still a back and forth, because Kim also sent many envoys to Goryeo.

When Meng Yuan was strong, then Gao Li Ke was purely selfless dedication.

At that time, the dignitaries and nobles of Mengyuan were compared with the number and quality of Goryeo female slaves, and those with few female slaves and poor quality were often made fun of.

Therefore, Meng Yuan constantly asked for women from Goryeo.

Yuan Shizu even issued a decree requiring that the first daughter of Goryeo must first register with the official, otherwise she will not be allowed to marry.

Under the pressure of the Mong Yuan, the Goryeo royal court ordered that women over the age of 13 and under the age of 16 in the country should not marry without authorization, so as to give priority to the selection of the Mong Yuan.

As a result of this, Goryeo often kept her daughters secret, even from her neighbors, in case she was sent to the Yuan Dynasty by the government.

(In fact, the results of having sons were not necessarily good, or even worse, because the Yuan Dynasty also needed a large number of eunuchs, and Goryeo eunuchs were particularly popular because they were particularly obedient.) ）

In the later period, even if Goryeo was extremely cooperative, it could not meet the demand of Meng Yuan for Goryeo women, because in addition to the Mong Yuan emperor and princes and ministers who needed Goryeo women as concubines or maids, the Yuan Dynasty also needed a large number of women to be matched to soldiers as spouses.

In addition to the first daughters, Goryeo also searched for married women and orphans, wives of traitors, daughters of monks, wives of criminals, etc., to meet the needs of Meng Yuan.

The royal women of Goryeo and the daughters of high-ranking officials were even more proud to dedicate themselves to the Mongwon Emperor or the princely ministers.

While this may seem a bit outrageous, you have to say, it actually works.

Goryeo relied on women to really survive from the iron hooves of Mongwon, and became one of the few countries that retained their own country during that period.

Moreover, the in-law relationship between the two families has become closer, so that although the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty have changed a lot, and the families of several emperors are still hostile to each other, the relationship with Goryeo has always been very close.

(Later, the fall of the Yuan Dynasty was also related to a Goryeo woman and a Goryeo eunuch.) ）

In addition, at the end of the Mengyuan Dynasty, the 200,000 troops of the Red Turban Army, Mr. Guan, Potou Pan, and Sha Liu were defeated in Goryeo, and the two armies fought in Anju, the Goryeo Army was defeated, and the Red Turban Army captured Kaijing.

Therefore, Goryeo's women's politics are very powerful.

Actually-

Not only did Zheng Keyong think of using women to break this dilemma, but Li Ziqian also thought of using women to break this dilemma, and Li Ziqian even wanted to get his third daughter, Queen Li, out of the palace and give it to Cai Yi.

This is not Li Ziqian's beating of mandarin ducks, but the situation is compelling.

As for Wang Kai, the doomed monarch of the country, who can consider him at this time?

And for Zheng Keyong also wanting to give his two daughters to Cai Yi, to tell the truth, Li Ziqian was a little hesitant!

Li Ziqian understands that Zheng Keyong is righteous and responsible, but in fact this is not the case at all, he actually wants to have a relationship with Cai Ying, who can control the fate of Goryeo, and then seek some benefits for him and his family.

Li Ziqian has the intention not to give Zheng Keyong this opportunity, but he needs Zheng Keyong to do this, the key is that the situation is not as good as before, he Li Ziqian is no longer the Goryeo Taishi who was above 10,000 people under one person, the grandfather and father-in-law of the King of Goryeo, so he may not be able to stop Zheng Keyong from offering his daughter.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Li Ziqian said: "Okay, just do as you say, I will send my younger brother to my house with you to pick up my four daughters and others......
