At this time, the territory of Goryeo was different from that of later generations, and it was not divided into two countries by the Yalu River, but by connecting the peninsula and dividing it into two countries on the mainland, with Tokyo Road belonging to the Kingdom of Kim to the north and Goryeo Kingdom to the south.

If you send troops from Goryeo, there are many advantages, first of all, there is no need to forcibly transport soldiers to land with warships, and you can bypass the defense line of the Great Wall heavily guarded by the Jin State.

To the north of Goryeo is the Tokyo Road, which is more important in the Jin Kingdom, and it is far away from the more than 200,000 Jin National Iron Cavalry patrolling near the defense line of the Great Wall, so it can be said that it is the best place to send troops.

Mrs. Qing chose Goryeo as the location for the troops, and everyone was dazzled, but Han Shizhong still objected: "This place is indeed very suitable, but there is also a problem, that is, the Jin garrison stationed on the border of Goryeo. ”

"Hahaha!" Hearing Han Shizhong's words, everyone else couldn't help but laugh.

Han Shizhong looked at the generals with a look of doubt on his face, because he didn't know what everyone was laughing at.

"Well, after all, Liangchen has not been in contact with military affairs for a long time, and he doesn't know about Goryeo and Jin in recent years."

Li Nan pointed to Tyrion, the Minister of the Interior, who had also rushed to Dengzhou City, and said, "You can explain it to him." ”

Although Tyrion is a foreigner from the world of ice and fire, he is smart and studious, and he has handled the internal affairs of the empire in an orderly manner over the years, and he has also studied the history of various countries and other materials, so it is best for him to explain.

Tyrion said, "Goryeo, the country of the Minko. In the past, in the Zhou period, King Wu cut down the tomb of the roadless, the tomb of the tree than the trunk, and released the prisoner of the Jizi, the Jizi was a merchant minister, and he did not want to be a Zhou, but led 5,000 people to go east to Korea, and the king of Wu was sealed, which was the beginning of the establishment of the government of Goryeo.

The people of Korea all respect the saint as their ancestor, and the people of the dynasty are white, so they are still white. The car is on the same track, the book is the same text, although the language is different, but it can be long-cherished with the heart of Muhua and the sincerity of the matter. The crown of the lord of the former Goryeo Kingdom, that is, the costume of the prince of China; It is also evident that the Muhua Pavilion was built to extend the state guests, and the Gate of Grace was built to welcome the angels.

Since ancient times, Goryeo has been a vassal of the Chinese Dynasty, and it was not until the Liao State was strong that it bowed down to its vassals.

To this day, the Song Dynasty is dead, and Goryeo is afraid of the strength of the empire, but because the border is connected to the Jin State, it does not dare to fight with the two countries, so it is loyal to the two lords at the same time. ”

After recounting the history of the Goryeo Kingdom, Tyrion continued to analyze: "The Goryeo Kingdom is a small country with a poor people, and it has always been a vassal of a large country, so the people in the country have extremely low self-esteem, which in turn leads to extreme arrogance, which is the character of the Goryeo people.

And then weak is weak, this will not change because of the thoughts of the Goryeo people, in the eyes of the Kim country, the Goryeo monarchs are just a group of clowns, and the Goryeo country is just a puppy next to the lion. According to information from the Imperial Intelligence Department, there were only more than 10,000 Jin soldiers stationed on the border of Goryeo, so it was feasible to attack Jin after landing in Goryeo. ”

Li Nan frowned and listened to Tyrion talk so much, and when he finished speaking, he hurriedly pointed at him and said: "Tyrion, although it is said that you follow the local customs, you don't have to talk all the words, and you don't need to foreshadow so much when you get up." ”

Tyrion also often dealt with other officials in the imperial capital for too long, and subtly adapted to this ancient way of speaking. ”

Li Nan waved his hand and said to the generals: "Tyrion's meaning is very simple, just say that the Jin country is the same as our empire, and it can't afford to look down on Goryeo at all, so there are very few soldiers stationed on the border. In that case, then divide the troops into three ways! ”

Pointing to the map on the table, Li Nan assigned: "Artemisia's East Sea Fleet, after transporting Sienna's Fifth Army to the west side of the Goryeo Peninsula, after arriving, the naval soldiers of the fleet will land with the regiment in a joint landing operation.

After the Pacific Fleet of the Qing Lady transported Han Shizhong's cavalry corps to the Goryeo Bay on the east side, it also sent naval soldiers to act with the cavalry. ”

Speaking of this, Li Nan said to Asha: "You lead the Yellow Sea Fleet to the coast of the Whale Sea to harass and attack the coastal towns of the Jin Kingdom, it is best to make the illusion that you want to land and directly attack Shangjing, so as to attract troops from other parts of the Jin Kingdom, but you must not be greedy for merit." ”

After listening to Li Nan's assignment, the generals responded in unison: "Obey the order!" Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will not disappoint the empire! ”

"Good! I believe in your abilities, so let's discuss the specifics of the action. ”

----------------

Dengju was not far from Goryeo, just across the sea, so a few days later, the imperial army arrived in Goryeo.

Originally, the emperor Li Nan did not need to go to Goryeo in person for this sea-crossing attack, but for some unexplained reasons, he still went to Goryeo with Artemisia's fleet.

Since the fleet of the Qing Lady had to bypass the Goryeo Peninsula and reach the bay on the east side, there was still time, and although the Goryeo Kingdom had submitted to the empire, Li Nan felt that he still had to talk to Wang Kai, the lord of Goryeo, about sending troops through the road.

Ouyang Xiu once said, 'The drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to care about the mountains and rivers', and the same is true for Li Nan, and the notice or discussion of sending troops through the road is just an excuse, he actually misses the concubines and beauties of Goryeo.

The imperial emperor arrived at Kaesong, and the lord of Goryeo, Wang Kai, personally welcomed the concubines of the harem and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty ten miles out of the city to greet him, which can be regarded as respectful.

Although he didn't want to see Wang Kai in his heart, in front of the people and ministers of Goryeo, Li Nan still invited him and several concubines to board his royal palace with great face.

Li Nan came to Goryeo in person, and to be honest, Wang Kai was shocked and frightened, after all, the empire's recent moves were not kept secret, and they were all spread to Goryeo.

attacked the Jin State and occupied the inherent territory lost by the Song State; It took the entire territory of Qingtang without swords; continued to attack the Jin State, and even defeated the powerful Jin State one after another, forcing Yan Zongbi to give up the Zhongdu Road and retreat to the south of the Great Wall to defend with all his might.

As the empire's conquest of neighboring countries became more and more frequent, the national strength became more and more powerful, just like the thoughts of the monarchs and ministers of the Western Xia Kingdom, Wang Kai, the lord of Goryeo, also had a strong sense of crisis.

Wang Kai's premonition was not wrong, and Li Qianshun, the lord of Western Xia, was not wrong, because the pace of the empire's expansion to the outside world would definitely not stop, and as time went by, not to mention that the small countries and forces of Western Xia, Goryeo, and Tubo would not escape their doom, and even some countries further away were quite dangerous.

In other periods of China, except for the Han and Tang dynasties, there may have never been such a strongly aggressive state as Xiang Empire, and because of the memory and insight of later generations, Li Nan was different from other emperors.

Ordinary Chinese emperors did not look down on remote and small states such as Jiaozhi, Champong, Zhenla, Tubo and even the Western Regions, and only sought nominal vassals, but Li Nan had a very strong desire to possess their territory.

Kaecheng was not very large, so the Imperial army did not enter the city, and only Mary led a thousand Royal Forest troops to escort it.
