Chapter 309: Peace Talks? (Ask for a subscription!) )
After being reminded by Queen Li, Wang Kai grabbed the remaining more than 2,000 horses in Luocheng in his own hands before Li Ziqian.
Actually-
It is normal for Wang Kai to be able to seize this part of the military power - the more than 2,000 soldiers and horses are mainly Wang Kai's honor guard Qianniuwei, and they can naturally be caught by Wang Kai in his hands.
Things have come to this point, who dares to guarantee that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will not use him Wang Kai to atone for their crimes? After all, the will to crusade against Cai Yi was given by his Wang Kai, and the will to fight the decisive battle with the Jin Wu army was also made by his Wang Kai, because these abolished his Wang Kai, the Goryeo, for too good reasons.
And with more than 2,000 horses in hand, although he Wang Kai can't resist the enemy, he can temporarily keep his throne alive.
While walking towards the main hall, Wang Kai rejoiced: "Fortunately, I got the queen's reminder, otherwise my situation must be worse, the queen is really virtuous, I should give birth to a son and a half with her as soon as possible." ”
When he came to the palace, Wang Kai looked around and determined that almost all the courtiers were there.
Obviously, after Luocheng was captured by the Jinwu army, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also panicked!
Suddenly!
Wang Kai saw a figure in the crowd that shouldn't have appeared - Zheng Zhichang!
It turned out that just now Yang Zaixing and the others only cared about seizing the city gate, and they couldn't take care of Zheng Zhichang and others who did not participate in blocking the gate, and then Zheng Zhichang and others took advantage of the chaos to escape into the palace.
Seeing that Zheng Zhichang was here, Wang Kai sighed in his heart, and he thought to himself: "Are more than 70,000 soldiers and horses really wiped out?" ”
Thinking that the more than 70,000 soldiers and horses were all gone, Wang Kai's eyes suddenly turned red, and he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Push Zheng Zhichang out to the lonely king!" ”
Wang Kai was really angry - Zheng Zhichang and Wu Yanzhong actually lost most of the troops near Kaijing, and also asked the enemy to attack Luocheng and directly threaten his life, how could he not kill them?
Hearing Wang Kai's order, General Qianniu, who came with Wang Kai, immediately gave the guards a look.
After those guards saw General Qianniu's eyes, they rushed to the hall and dragged Zheng Zhichang down, ready to be executed!
Zheng Zhichang shouted: "Your Majesty, it is not a pity for the minister to die, but I beg Your Majesty to let the minister say a few words, and let the minister atone for the sins of the minister!" ”
Wang Kai can't wait to eat Zheng Zhichang raw now, how can he allow Zheng Zhichang to speak?
Seeing that Zheng Zhichang was about to be dragged out of the hall, Li Ziqian suddenly spoke: "Slow." ”
Wang Kai looked at Li Ziqian and asked, "The Taishi wants to ask for this sinner?" ”
Li Ziqian didn't answer and asked: "Your Majesty, do you know the origin of this gang of thieves, how many soldiers and horses there are, and what do you want to attack our Goryeo?" ”
"This ......"
Wang Kai was speechless!
"That's right, who are these thieves, why did they attack me Goryeo for no reason, what do they want, how can they send them away?" Countless question marks flashed in Wang Kai's heart.
Li Ziqian no longer looked at Wang Kai, but ordered the guards: "Bring Master Li back." ”
The guards looked at General Qianniu, and General Qianniu looked at Wang Kai.
Seeing this, Li Ziqian's eyes flashed with disdain, and he said in his heart: "After all, he is still a child, at this time, is it useful to seize this bit of military power?" The only thing that is useful now is the attitude of those thieves, they can decide the fate of this country, and the little Qianniuwei, hmph, is not enough for the gang of thieves who defeated the tens of thousands of troops in Goryeo. ”
In desperation, Wang Kai could only retract the order, and he said: "Bring back Zheng Zhichang, a sinner, to the lonely king!" ”
After listening to Wang Kai's order, a group of guards brought Zheng Zhichang back.
Wang Kai looked at Zheng Zhichang and asked coldly, "Who are those thieves?" ”
Zheng Zhichang replied: "They claim to be the Jinwu army, there are Song people, there are Khitan people, and even Xi people and Bohai people, and the minister guesses that the other party should be the person who betrayed the Great Song Dynasty and occupied Yanyun, otherwise it is impossible to explain why their subordinates are so complicated." ”
Taking a deep breath, Zheng Zhichang said again: "The minister is guilty, the minister does not defend himself, the minister comes back this time, in fact, he just wants to remind His Majesty that this group of people is an existence that our Goryeo cannot defeat, and Your Majesty must not provoke them and bring destruction to His Majesty himself and Goryeo." ”
Jin Andao, the leader of the martial arts class: "Invincible? That's your incompetence! ”
Zheng Zhichang did not argue with Jin An, but said to Wang Kai again: "Your Majesty must remember that this group of people is invincible, and you must not provoke them. ”
After finishing speaking, Zheng Zhichang suddenly crashed into the pillar on the side!
Just when everyone in the hall thought that there would be a scene of brain bursting, a big joke was made.
Zheng Zhichang, who wanted to ask for death, was about to hit the pillar, and when he was about to hit the pillar, he was consciously beaten at his feet, and as a result, he was bumped, but unfortunately he only hit a bag, and there was not even blood.
Zheng Zhichang was embarrassed, then took a few steps back, and slammed into the pillar again!
But when he was about to hit the pillar, Zheng Zhichang's foot subconsciously hit again, and as a result, he bumped out of a bag again, and he still didn't die.
Zheng Zhichang is already self-conscious!
This time, Zheng Zhichang retreated to a farther place.
Wang Kai, who couldn't stand it anymore, said with annoyance: "Okay, if you want to die and go home and die, don't be embarrassed in the court...... Now tell the Lone King how that group of people is invincible? ”
Zheng Zhichang was so ashamed that he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, but when Wang Kai asked him, he couldn't help but answer, so he temporarily endured his shame and said: "The thieves have several very powerful weapons, one is a weapon that shoots dozens or hundreds of rockets at a time, one is an artillery that can kill and injure a person with one shot, and another is an artillery that can throw artillery, by the way, and another is a stick that can breathe fire. They couldn't even tell the difference between east and west, north and south, and then let them slaughter them, and in addition, their cavalry was also very powerful, with accurate horsemanship and superb archery......"
Li Ziqian suddenly interjected: "Are those weapons really that powerful? ”
Zheng Zhichang said with palpitations: "It's really so powerful, it doesn't even make people have the courage to be an enemy." ”
Li Ziqian asked with a very solemn expression: "In this way, you are all annihilated, not just defeated?" ”
Zheng Zhichang was a little embarrassed to speak, but he hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "Yes, the whole army is annihilated, huh...... In fact, there are some who take advantage of the chaos to scatter, and I want to gather these people, but the enemy bites me and I don't let go, and finally ......"
Zheng Zhichang couldn't go on with the rest of the words, because what he wanted to say was: "In the end, these people still bit me and entered the city." ”
But if he said this, then he Zheng Zhichang might be beaten to death on the spot by these people who hated him to the bone.
At this moment, no one noticed Zheng Zhichang's careful thinking, listening to Zheng Zhichang say, they were not only defeated, but the whole army was wiped out, everyone panicked, Wang Kai asked directly: "How many troops do the thieves have?" ”
Zheng Zhichang said: "At the beginning of the war, there were only about forty or fifty thousand, and later they increased their troops several times, and the minister conservatively estimated that the number of them participating in the war would never be less than 70,000, and most of them should be more than 100,000. ”
When Wang Kai heard this, he immediately collapsed on his dragon chair and muttered, "Goryeo is finished!" ”
At this time, someone came to report: "Report to Your Majesty, Jin Wuwei has been defeated, they have been defeated by thieves, and there are ...... Also, another enemy has entered the city, and they are approaching the palace! ”
When Wang Kai heard this, he immediately panicked, he hurriedly looked at Li Ziqian and asked, "Taishi, how should this be?" ”
Not only Wang Kai was desperate, but everyone else in the court was also desperate, and even Li Ziqian, who usually had a lot of ideas, was silent!
At this time, Baowen Pavilion waited for Jin Fushi to come out of the ranks, and said: "Your Majesty, I want to be Goryeo, since the founding of the country, after repeated wars, during the period of Xianzong, Xijing and Kaijing were all broken by the Liao State, and Xianzong had to take refuge in Pingzhou, but so what, six years later, I Goryeo defeated the Liao State and recovered the homeland, and now the situation can be sad at that time?" ”
After Wang Jian established Goryeo, in order to stabilize the regime he established, he transformed internal contradictions into external contradictions, that is, he actively expanded his territory to the north.
Whose territory did Wang Jian rob for expansion?
It is the territory of the female gold clan that is now rising.
Speaking of which, Goryeo has been bullying the Jurchens for a long time, and once almost wiped out the Jurchens.
Later, the suzerainty of the Jurchen people, Liao, couldn't stand it anymore, and was afraid that Goryeo would use the Jurchen land as a springboard to enter the Central Plains and become a big disaster for them, so they launched three major wars against Goryeo in a row, that is, the three Goryeo Khitan wars.
In the first Goryeo Khitan War, the main enemy of Liao was the Great Song Dynasty, and he didn't pay much attention to Goryeo, so after defeating Goryeo, Liao temporarily let Goryeo go.
In the second Goryeo Khitan War, the Liao State beat Goryeo badly, until it reached Goryeo's Kaijing, and drove the king of Goryeo to Pingzhou, and later because the battle line was too long, it was attacked by Goryeo again, and the Liao army withdrew.
The third Goryeo Khitan War, fought for five years, and finally the Liao army was defeated because of the supply of grain and grass, but as the victorious side of Goryeo was also greatly injured in successive years of war, and was unable and had no courage to fight again, and then the Liao State wanted to fight Goryeo again, and Goryeo quickly surrendered after learning about it, and it completely ended the Goryeo Khitan War.
Listening to Jin Fushi's words, Wang Kai and others remembered the difficulties of the Goryeo Khitan War, and gradually came out of despair, "Indeed, although the current situation is poor, it is not as bad as the Goryeo Khitan War, so there may not be no solution to this matter." ”
Wang Kai stabilized his mind for a moment, and then asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, who has a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”
Jin Fushi said again: "The minister thinks that he should talk to them. ”
Jin Fushi explained: "Now that they are strong and we are weak, we can only get through the current hurdle first, and then slowly try to do it." ”
Wang Kai said: "Yes, yes, let's talk." ”
Feeling that he was a little out of shape, Wang Kai stabilized his mind and asked, "What's that...... Which Aiqing is willing to talk? ”
If you go to talk about this kind of alliance under the city, you will be insulted by the other party, and if you can't do it, you will be killed by the other party, and Liwei won't say anything about it, but once you don't talk well, you will definitely be pushed out as a scapegoat afterwards, and the saddest thing is that you have to be a traitor after death.
Therefore, no one opened his mouth to pick up Wang Kai's stubble.
Seeing that no one was willing to talk, Wang Kai was angry and said: "The poor family is a filial son, and it is difficult for the country to know loyal ministers, and it is difficult for me to have loyal ministers in Goryeo?" ”
Listening to Wang Yu's words, Jin Fushi sighed secretly and was ready to stand up.
But at this moment, Li Ziqian, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "The old minister is willing to talk." ”
Seeing that Li Ziqian wanted to talk, Jin Fushi couldn't help but shake his head secretly: "Hey! Internal and external troubles, this time Goryeo is afraid that it will be difficult to escape! ”
At this time, Wang Kai was rarely sober, he intuitively thought that he couldn't let his grandfather and his father-in-law Li Ziqian talk, otherwise he would have no chance at all.
So Wang Kai said: "I know that the Taishi is worried about the lonely king, but the Taishi is the mainstay of Goryeo, if you go to talk, if you can't do it, who can go to the peace talks again?" ”
Wang Kai is saying: "Your status is too high, if you can't negotiate, who can we send to talk to show our sincerity?" ”
Although this is Wang Kai's excuse to shirk, Wang Kai found it so cleverly that Li Ziqian couldn't refute it at all.
But it doesn't matter, if this can stump Li Ziqian, then Li Ziqian can't be so big.
Li Ziqian glanced at Zheng Keyong, a scholar of Baowen Pavilion, without a trace.
Zheng Keyong immediately understood, and then came out and said: "The minister is willing to go to peace talks." ”
"This Zheng Keyong is a diehard loyalist of Li Thief, what is the difference between letting Zheng Keyong talk about it and letting Li Thief himself talk about it?" Han Anren thought to himself.
Thinking of this, Han Anren immediately gave them a look at a person named Jiang Ho from the royalist faction.
Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment, and then came out and said, "The minister is also willing to go to peace talks." ”
I don't know why, at this time, Wang Kai felt that Han Anren should be more reliable, so he said: "Jiang Hao has been to the Great Song Dynasty twice, and he has experience in dealing with the Song people, so let Jiang Hao go to the peace talks." ”
Li Ziqian said without concessions: "Zheng Keyong is proficient in Song language and culture, understands the habits of the Song people, and has also been an envoy to the Song Kingdom, so he is also a suitable candidate." ”
Seeing that it was time for Goryeo's life and death, they were still fighting among themselves, and Jin Fushi was really sad for Goryeo!
And as Wang Kai said before, the national disaster shows loyalty.
Therefore, Jin Fushi tidied up his clothes, then came out of the queue and said, "The minister is willing to go to the peace talks." ”
Jin Fushi belongs to the two classes, not Li Ziqian's person, although he is not close to the royalist faction, but he is a real person who does things, the key Wang Kai knows that he will definitely not win Li Ziqian, therefore, Wang Kai said: "Jin Aiqing is the person who knows the Song people best in my Goryeo, and it is most suitable for Jin Aiqing to negotiate peace." ”
Jin Fushi's father, Jin Jin, left a great reputation in the Song State when he went to the Song State, so that their father and son went to the Song State many times, so there is really no one in Goryeo who is more suitable for peace talks than Jin Fushi, so that Li Ziqian is not easy to argue.
However, Li Ziqian quickly thought about it, and then said: "How can we show our sincerity by sending only one envoy, and let Zheng Keyong go to peace talks together." ”
Seeing this, Han Anren also said: "The Taishi's words are reasonable, then let Jin Fushi, Zheng Keyong, and Jiang Hao go to the peace talks together, so as to show the sincerity of our Goryeo." ”
