East bank of the Yalu River, Baozhou.

This is the westernmost and newly acquired territory of Goryeo, and if it were not for the defeat of the Liaojin War, the Khitans who were defeated in Liaodong would not hand over this fortified city to the Goryeo. Therefore, the location of Baozhou is outside the Great Wall of Goryeo (west).

The powerful Jurchens, in order to better concentrate their forces on the remnants of the Liao State and have no worries about attacking the Central Plains in the south, gave the land of Baozhou to Goryeo on the condition that Goryeo would be called a minister and pay tribute.

This fortified city, which has been controlled by the Goryeo people for more than ten years, is now the heavy defense place of the Goryeo border army, the bridgehead of the Goryeo Dynasty on the east bank of the Yalu River, and the most important military place on the west side of the Qianli Great Wall.

……

The snow had stopped, and it was approaching dusk, but the sky was clear.

Wu Jun, the envoy of the Baozhou government, stood at the foot of the steps and bid farewell to his friends.

"Brother Wang, be careful all the way."

"Brother Yiling (word), please go back."

"Walk slowly."

Creaking, the sound of wheels pressing over the snow, Wu Junjing stepped up the steps heavily, looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away, and the expression on his handsome face was a little complicated.

"Xianggong?" The servant beside him saw that Wu Junjing was standing there and didn't move, so he stepped forward and called softly.

Wu Junjing turned around and walked towards the mansion, and at the same time said to the servant, "Close the door." ”

Everything has already settled, hasn't it?

You've already made your decision, haven't you?

Then be less womanly.

The Wu family was originally the people of China, and now the general trend is natural, and it is logical to return to the Central Plains.

Even if the father has a spirit in heaven, he will not blame himself.

Wu Jun was relieved in his heart!

"Yes." The servant answered.

Wu Jun stepped into the gate and went straight to the inner courtyard. And the old servant had already beckoned the porter to the left and the right, and together they closed the door, and at the same time fell the bar.

When he turned around again, Wu Junjing had already walked away.

"Third uncle, Xianggong is a little weird today, there is still snow in this courtyard, so he actually left directly." The porter looked at the footprints left in the thick layer of snow in the courtyard, turned his head and looked at the corridor on the side, puzzled!

Isn't the corridor fragrant?

But unexpectedly, the old servant listened, raised his hand and slapped him on the head. "Choreographed behind the back, master, hello big dog. Let me hear you next time, watch out for your skin. ”

As an old slave who has served the head of the Wu family for two generations, the old servant knows more things than the current porter, which is why he is more careful.

It's not that the porter in front of him is his nephew, and he has already asked someone to drag it down to play the board.

Back in the inner courtyard, the old servant summoned a small servant to ask where Wu Jun went, and sighed secretly. In front of the Buddha statue in the east conservatory, there is the sword of the old minister.

Xianggong announced to the old minister.

The old servant's gaze looked accurately at the east conservatory through a row of houses.

Waving his hand to tell the little servant to be busy with his own work, the old servant's slightly rickety body walked towards the east warm house step by step.

Although he doesn't know very well what his father-in-law has been busy with recently, he can guess a few points when he is old, and he has the heart to persuade his father-in-law to think twice, but he feels that what he has done is not wrong.

Goryeo is better than the Central Plains, and rabbits are better than tigers.

It's better to jump ship early.

It's up to the Xianggong to go, if something really happens, it's a big deal to follow the Wu family to die together.

Besides, Wu Jun walked straight into the east greenhouse on the snow, burned a stick of incense in the incense burner, and then knelt down on the futon.

His eyes looked at the saber on the table, and he looked very embarrassed.

His father, Wu Yanzhong, was originally a citizen of China, and he had been reading and studying since he was a child, and he also made first-hand articles, but the scientific field was not smooth, and many years were wasted.

After moving to Goryeo, the scientific field was proud, and the officialdom was also proud.

In the second year of Zhezong Shaosheng (1095), the liberal arts and the first, and the first year of Huizong Daguan (1007) were already the affairs of the Privy Council and the bachelor of Hanlin. In the Jurchen War of Goryeo that year, Wu Yanzhong led the soldiers and horses in the northeast and the soldiers and horses of the battalion as the deputy marshal of the Pingzhang Affairs Yin Qiang. The two led the army of Goryeo to conquer the country, and 170,000 people crusaded against the Jurchens, which took two years, first won and then lost, and ended with peace between the two sides.

After the war, Yin Qian and Wu Yanzhong were hated by Prime Minister Cui Hongsi, Jin Jingyong and others. But as soon as the limelight passed, the two were reinstated.

Yin Qian was old and died of illness soon after his recovery. But Wu Yanzhong successively sat in the important positions of Shou Si Air Scribe Lang Pingzhangshi, Shou Situ, Shou Tai Lieutenant, supervising the Zhu State in the history of the country, judging the Ministry of Officials, judging the Ministry of Rites, and judging the Ministry of Soldiers.

is Wu Jun's current position as the envoy of Baozhou, which has his father's legacy.

It can be said that the Goryeo Dynasty is not sorry for their old Wu family at all.

And yet now......

Wu Jun knelt in the Buddhist hall all night, and only came out of it the next day, although his eyes were bloodshot and his lips were dry and skinny, but he was very energetic.

The old servant was old, and of course it was impossible to wait outside the Buddha hall overnight, but he didn't delay for long. As soon as Wu Jun came out of it, it only took a while for the old servant to arrive with a group of little maids.

first served Wu Jun to wash and change clothes, and then quickly set up breakfast.

"Go and draw up a list, the heads and brains in Baozhou City, the civil and military classes, must be listed. I'm going to post them one by one! It's about noon tomorrow. ”

Wu Jun said this to the old servant, which made the latter's mouth open wide in surprise.

"This ......, isn't that too blatant? Please think twice. ”

The big thing is related to the life of the Wu family, is Wu Jun too hasty?

"When a big thing comes, it is constantly chaotic. I've made up my mind! ”

Wu Jun's tone was very flat, but it was this flatness that showed that he had really made up his mind.

"Uncle Ming doesn't have to worry." Whether the old servant is close to someone, Wu Jun still explained: "The heavenly soldiers will arrive on the same day, and Baozhou City will bear the brunt." Most of these people in the city are smart people, and they understand my intentions, and few of them dare to make trouble. To put it bluntly, this is the act of the lord of Kaijing! ”

Goryeo asked Zhao and Song for help, even if it was only limited to Xijing, and the city of Baozhou, which fell on the bank of the Yalu River, could only be handed over to the Song people.

Can't you ask the heavenly soldiers to camp on the other side of the Yalu River?

In righteousness, Wu Jun is still tenable.

As for the practical significance, everyone knows it, but they can't find it, otherwise it will be embarrassing between Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty.

"Those people are all from two classes, will they go to school and open Beijing?" The old servant was still worried. Because the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty have not arrived after all.

"No, they won't." Wu Junjing shook his head and said with great certainty.

"Goryeo is too incomparable compared to the Song Dynasty. It is also difficult to explain the consequences of the Xijing Rebellion. Even if you take a hundred steps back, the Kaijing Goryeo Dynasty will still be preserved after the war, and the Great Song Dynasty will also hold its lifeline. ”

"Today's Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is not a great good man."

"Even if Goryeo was still there, the lord of the country was probably mostly a marionette of the Great Song Dynasty. Isn't it good for them to get on the boat early? ”

"These people are all big families, they know how to have a powerful relationship, between families and countries, do you think they will choose a family or a country?"
