In the seventh year of Shenlong, in 1135 AD, Jin Taizong died of illness after Yan Wu begging, and Yu Yunwen, the champion of the new branch of the Han Dynasty, sent an envoy to the Jin State on behalf of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty.

Yu Yunwen got on the steam turbine, and after seeing the speed of the steamer, he said with great emotion: "The Han is too powerful, and the fall of the previous dynasty is inevitable. In the future, the Han Dynasty will surely sweep the world and become the most powerful empire in history. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty is the Holy Monarch of the Ages, and the Great Han will surely become the most powerful empire. Lord Yu, why did we go to Goryeo first when we went to Jin this time? ”

It was Lu Xiaoqi, the deputy envoy who spoke this time, he was the son of Lu Junyi, the Marquis of Suiyuan, but he was a civil official and did not inherit his father's mantle. At this time, Lu Junyi had already served as the director of the Kaide Mansion, and he was basically far away from the front line, and he would not lead the team to go on expeditions again, which could be regarded as enjoying his old age.

Lu Junyi is a legendary figure, the first to be a gentleman of the Hebei Daimyo Mansion, known as the Jade Qilin, although he has a good skill, but he is not an official, but was coaxed to Liangshan by Wu Yong. The housekeeper Li Gu seduced Lu Junyi's wife Jia, and the two were embarrassed, trying to harm Lu Junyi and swallow up the family property, this past incident is the biggest stain in Lu Junyi's heart.

may be because of the fact that things must be reversed, after Lu Junyi followed Liu Zhenglong, he married five wives one after another, all of whom were very affectionate, gave birth to two boys and three girls, the eldest daughter Lu Yingying also entered the palace, and the eldest son Lu Xiaojunqing was better than the blue out of the blue, Wen Tao Wuluo, and was the number one existence among the new generation of generals. Not only is he good at kung fu, he is not under Yang Zaixing's high favor, but he is also familiar with military books and war strategies, and he has become the commander of the first army at a young age, setting a new age record for the commander of the Han army. And the second son, Lu Xiaoqi, is the new branch Tanhua and became the deputy envoy this time.

Lu Xiaojun has won the true biography of His Majesty, can be said to be a protégé of the Son of Heaven, graduated with the highest score in the Military Academy, and Liu Zhen, the king of Jin, are classmates and friends, and have a close relationship.

Yu Yunwen faced Lu Xiaoqi's question, and said with a smile: "What do you think we can do when we send Jin Guo to celebrate the new emperor's accession to the throne, what is the actual point?" We are going to inspect on behalf of the Son of Heaven, Goryeo is a Han vassal state, but the country knows almost nothing about Goryeo, which is a terrible thing. His Majesty is going to inspect Goryeo, and at that time it was indicated that Goryeo was going to be assigned to the territory of the Han Dynasty, otherwise His Majesty would inspect something, and one of the main purposes of our envoy this time was to visit Li Jun, the governor of Goryeo. ”

Lu Xiaoqi is also extremely smart, and he quickly understood the information here, he said with a smile: "Let's separate the two of Jiaozhou Bay in front, I'll take the dry road, and by the way, take a look at Shandong, Hebei, you continue to go north to Goryeo." ”

"That's what I mean, but I take the dry road, and you take the water road to Goryeo." Yu Yunwen's envoy this time was with an important mission, and His Majesty's Chunchun teachings let him know that the so-called envoy was just a pretense to let himself take a look at the internal situation in Shandong, Hebei and Jin, and provide valuable information for the later Northern Expedition.

"Lord Yu, let's go to the dry road, I understand this mission, and I know what to do. After all, I came from a military family, and my investigation of Hebei and Shandong seems to be more appropriate. And you can take the sea route relatively quickly, and after you can reach Goryeo, you can quickly go to the country of Jin. If you're delaying on the road for too long, I'm afraid that the Kim Kingdom will be suspicious. ”

"Okay, then let's go through some details." Yu Yunwen no longer insisted, after all, Lu Xiaoqi is both civil and military, and many things are indeed more suitable than himself.

Everyone's mission is destined to be different, and Goryeo Governor Yi Jun has been working hard in Goryeo for nine years, and he knows that the Han will eventually occupy this land, so he has been working hard for this great mission for the past nine years.

Goryeo, after all, is the Goryeo of the Goryeo people, and the existence of the King of Goryeo, as well as the existence of the demon monk Miaoqing, it is not an easy thing to do things under the noses of these people.

Once the news leaks, then the Goryeo side will definitely take action, and at that time, either the fish will die, or the net will be broken, which is obviously not the result that Li Jun wants.

The affairs of Goryeo are extremely complicated, and they can be divided into several factions, and the struggle between them is extremely fierce, but one thing is the same, that is, all kinds of forces are wary of the Metropolitan Governor's Palace, after all, the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly. These Goryeo magnates have always regarded the Han army in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion as a thorn in their side, a thorn in the flesh, and they are eager to uproot it, of course, this is just an illusion.

In recent years, the biggest move of the Goryeo king Wang Kai, the demon monk Miaoqing and the Goryeo magnates is to suppress the strength of the Dadu Governor's Office on Tamna Island, after all, Goryeo is still the Goryeo of the Goryeo people, unless the Han army wants to openly occupy the country, otherwise nominally it has to listen to the will of the Goryeo king Wang Kai, and it cannot be openly confronted.

Wang Kai, the king of Goryeo, was very angry that his sister went to the imperial capital to serve the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and his mother, the palace lord of Shundeok, also went to the imperial capital, and regarded it as the greatest shame in his life, and vowed to take revenge on the Han kingdom. In the past nine years, he has also been working this matter.

Wang has always been a high king, as Wang Kai continues to grow older, there are more and more loyalists around him, and his power is constantly rising, and in Goryeo, he has almost become second only to the demon monk Miaoqing. And Miaoqing's influence is gradually declining, while Wang Kai's influence is constantly rising.

There has always been a force within the Jin Kingdom that secretly supports Wang Kai, the king of Goryeo, that is, the fourth prince Wanyan Zongbi, this guy has always wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Han Dynasty, which needs to win over Goryeo and relieve his worries, which is why he has been secretly supporting Wang Kai, the king of Goryeo.

Compared with the Han Dynasty, which is far from Goryeo, the country of Jin and Goryeo are connected by the country, and they are much closer, and many people in Goryeo have married women from the country of Jin, and there are also many women from Goryeo who have married to Goryeo. Trade between the two countries was also very frequent, which is why the Jin expeditions were often accompanied by Goryeo troops.

In the Kingdom of Goryeo, the two powerful ministers Kim Ji-hwan were inclined to the Han Kingdom, while Park Jung-jung was co-opted by the Kim Kingdom Wanyan Zongbi, and he himself married the daughter of Wanyan Zongbi. The contradictions between the two have become increasingly acute, and they have been fighting openly and secretly for many years.

In the process of the battle between the two powerful ministers, the demon monk Miaoqing and the Goryeo king Wang Kai were very delicate, Wang Kai was still inclined to the Jin State, after all, this was the only possible way to deal with the Han State, and Miaoqing and the Han Metropolitan Governor's Office have always maintained contact, and the contradictions between the two have gradually escalated.

Miaoqing is not a highly respected master, this guy always has his own little Jiujiu in his heart, he knows that associating with Han is seeking skin with the tiger, but there must be a report when interacting with Jin Guo? There is a tiger in front and a wolf in the back, and Goryeo, sandwiched in the middle, must have a trade-off, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch.

In Myoqing's view, the Han Kingdom was too far away from Goryeo to try to occupy Goryeo, but the Jin Kingdom was different, next to Goryeo, when the army came, it was the time when Goryeo fell, which is why Myoqing was always reluctant to take refuge in the Jin Kingdom.

In the past nine years, Han culture has had a great impact on Goryeo, and the younger generation has made it fashionable to wear Hanfu and speak Chinese. The children of wealthy families all thought it was fashionable to go to the imperial capital to study, as if they could be superior to others. Goryeo women are honored to marry into a Han dynasty.

In fact, advocating the Central Plains culture basically began in the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that it has a long history, compared to the broad and profound culture of the Central Plains, the Jin State still belongs to the end of slavery, and the backwardness is disdainful in the eyes of the Goryeo.

Some of the nobles of Goryeo were afraid of the threat of the Jin army, so they took refuge in the Jin country, and Park Jung-jung was the representative, of course, more nobles were more yearning for the Central Plains culture, which made Goryeo's internal strife constant.

When the Emperor of Jin died, what kind of etiquette should be used to envoy to Jin caused an uproar in Goryeo. After all, this is no longer a battle between the open and the dark on weekdays, but a precursor to a rupture, and it is just a question of which side to break with.

The death of the Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai and the accession of the little emperor Wanyan to the throne indicated that the main battle faction had the upper hand in an all-round way, and Wanyan Zonghan, who was known for his strategy, and Wanyan Zongbi, the military conspirator, and Wanyan Zongbi, the adoptive father of the little emperor, and Wanyan Zonggan, the political evergreen, twisted into a rope and pushed the Jin State back onto the road of militaristic conquest.

Goryeo is in the rear of the Jin State, which is of great strategic significance to the Jin State, and taking Goryeo can not only stabilize the rear and relieve the worries, but also provide enough soldiers, war horses, materials, etc., the biggest benefit is to expel the Han army in Goryeo and sweep away the threat from the sea.

The Jin State lacked large sea ships to compete with the Han State at sea, and in this case, the strategic significance of Goryeo was crucial, and if it wanted to cut off the sneak attack of the Han army at sea, it was necessary to control Goryeo. You must know that Shandong, Hebei, and Liaodong Peninsula are all under the control of the Jin State, and if you control Goryeo in this case, you can completely ignore the Han Navy.

In order to control Goryeo, Wanyan Lou personally led an army of 100,000 to approach Goryeo, and under the premise of this military deterrence, Wanyan Hongyeol, the envoy of the Jin State, sent an envoy to Goryeo. The purpose of sending an envoy to Goryeo during this period of time was to control Goryeo, and the most important part of this was in what capacity Goryeo sent an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin.

If Goryeo were to send an envoy in the name of a vassal state of Jin, then all previous agreements with the Han would be invalidated, and the Han troops stationed on Tamna Island would no longer be legal and would be expelled. Therefore, this time, Jin Guo attaches great importance to this matter, and Wanyan Zonghan personally handles it, and this time he must completely control Goryeo and expel the Han army.

Wang Kai, the king of Goryeo, was not a fool, he knew that after becoming a vassal state of the Jin Kingdom, life would be much more difficult than now, after all, the Han Kingdom only occupied Tamna Island and traded with Goryeo, and did not ask for any wealth. But the Jin Kingdom is different, it will definitely ask for the New Year's coin, not only to be a minister, but also to pay tribute, which is difficult for Wang Kai to accept.

The country of Goryeo has always been very poor, and the common people are not rich in the first place, and it is even worse to pay tribute. In this context, Wang Kai, the king of Goryeo, only hoped to expel the Han army with the help of the Jin army, and did not willingly become a vassal state of the Jin state.

This kind of stupid mentality can only be possessed by an idiot like Wang Kai, how can the powerful Jin Kingdom be played as a monkey? It's just that this guy's stupidity is blinded, and no one tells him how stupid he is.

Wanyan Hongyeol's mission to Goryeo brought unprecedented pressure to the Goryeo Governor Yi Jun, who knew that if this matter was not handled well, then the results of the nine years of Han operation in Goryeo would be in vain.

Li Jun, who was unwilling to fail and could not fail, wanted to talk to Miaoqing about how to deal with it, but was refused, in this case, Li Jun understood that Miaoqing wanted to let the Jin State and the Han State fight, so that he could take advantage of the fisherman and take the opportunity to drive away the Han army.

"Give the shameless dog, it seems that you don't need to survive anymore." While reporting the crisis in Goryeo to the imperial court, Li Jun prepared for the case and took the initiative to invite Kim Ji-hwan to Tamna Island for negotiations.

Everyone's needs are different, and Myocheong wants a strong Goryeo under his control, so when there is a conflict between the real Jin Kingdom and the Han Kingdom, he will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Kim Ji-hwan is different, this guy has a lot of wealth in his hands, and he maintains trade contacts with the big Han, for him, nothing matters, as long as he can maintain his wealth, it is more important than anything, of course, it is better if he can grab greater benefits, which is why Li Jun is looking for him.

It was at this time that Yu Yunwen arrived at Tamna Island.

Yu Yunwen is also a resolute person, before he came, he heard the rumors that Goryeo's side was unstable, and when he saw Li Jun, he said on the spot: "Governor, let's get to the point, no need to be polite, I don't need to rest, you can tell me about the situation in Goryeo, let's figure out how to deal with it." ”

Li Jun did not hide it, and said the current crisis, and finally he said: "The Jin army of 100,000 troops is pressing, and in this case, Goryeo's internal chaos will begin, and there are people who want to expel the Han army from Tamna Island, and now I only have 50,000 navies here, let alone against 100,000 Jin troops, and even Goryeo's army can't bear it." You came just in time, what is Your Majesty's attitude towards this matter? ”

"Grand Duke, this doesn't seem to be your style, when did you become timid." Yu Yunwen came to Goryeo this time with a secret purpose, and he said bluntly: "The Han is ready to go to war with the Jin army, but it can't find the right time, after all, there is a peace agreement between the two countries. The Goryeo incident is just a good excuse, the key is how you grasp and operate the Metropolitan Governor. ”。

"However, I don't have enough troops."

"The 100,000 Han Navy has long been ready to go, and it will take three days at most to reach Goryeo to participate in the battle, I believe that the 50,000 army in your hands should have no problem resisting for three days. Besides, if you plan properly, you don't necessarily have to use war to solve the problem, you know, I believe that the Dadu Governor has been working in Goryeo for nine years, and he will not be vulnerable, besides, the 100,000 Jin army only suppressed Goryeo, and did not come to Tamna Island, it will not affect your plan. ”
