It was a cloudy day, the sky over Yanjing City was cloudy, and the black clouds were pressing down on the city, and it was about to rain, but An Pulin and Li Rui were in a very good mood.

After they came to the Yanjing Palace with dozens of attendants, they immediately sent someone to report it, and it didn't take long for the two of them to enter the palace.

Walking on the way to the palace, the wind gradually blew, and it didn't take long for raindrops to fall in the sky.

"Along the way, the weather has been hot, and now it's finally cooling!" Li Rui said with a smile.

"When the weather is cold, we can negotiate with the Song people!" An Pulin breathed in the fresh air and said with a smile.

They kept walking, and after a while, they came to the study.

Here, they were inspected by the guards before entering the Imperial Study.

The layout in the imperial study is simple and elegant, and at this moment Zhao Chen is sitting behind a desk, and there are two people in the imperial study - Wang Shu and Qu Duan.

Wang Shu is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, the head of the military aircraft department, and Qu Duan is the head of the staff headquarters.

"The Goryeo envoys meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!" An Pulin and Li Rui were stunned for a moment, then knelt down together and said in unison.

At this moment, the rain outside is gradually falling heavily, and the sound of rain outside can be heard in the imperial study.

"Let's get flat!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

An Pulin and Li Rui stood up respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the last time we negotiated with Lord Wang Shu and decided to buy Liaodong with money and grain, this time we have brought a lot of money and food, and we want to discuss peace talks again." An Pulin said.

"How much wealth, gold and silver did you bring?" Zhao Chen said.

"The sum of the money, gold and silver is twenty million taels of silver." An Pulin said.

"The small country of Goryeo didn't expect that there would be so much money and food!" Zhao Chen said with a mocking smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, we have already brought the money, I wonder when the Great Song Dynasty will give Liaodong to us?" An Pulin said.

The sound of the rain outside was getting louder and louder, and there was a sudden feeling of silence in the room at the moment, everyone did not speak, and the sound of their breathing was drowned out by the sound of the rain outside.

Zhao Chen stood up, he took a map from the bookshelf next to him and spread it on the table.

Wang Shu and Qu Duan were still sitting there, while An Pulin and Li Rui looked at the map on the table curiously.

The map is very large, there are Jiangnan, Central Plains, Yanyun and other places, as well as Liaodong, Goryeo and other places, Zhao Chen's eyes have been placed on Liaodong and Goryeo at this moment.

"On the same day, I ascended the throne and became emperor in Hanzhong, on the one hand, I decided to drive out the Tartars and restore China, and on the other hand, I decided to carry forward our Han civilization and make my Han civilization reach an unprecedented glorious situation! The Han and Tang dynasties are considered to be prosperous, but I want to build a prosperous era that is stronger and more prosperous than the Han and Tang dynasties! This is my ambition! Zhao Chen suddenly said something inexplicable.

An Pulin and Li Rui were stunned, they didn't know what Zhao Chen meant.

"Liaodong is a vast land, now there are people of all ethnic groups here to reproduce, Liaodong further north through the mountains behind a field of ice, there is no human habitation on the ice field now, but the mineral deposits there are very rich!" Zhao Chen said.

"How does Your Majesty know where the mineral deposits are abundant?" An Pulin said curiously.

What Zhao Chen said is where the Siberia of later generations is, and in this era Siberia is basically uninhabited, neither the Chinese nor the Russians of later generations have yet to come to this place! Because it is too cold here, everyone regards this place as a useless place, but Zhao Chen knows that in later generations this is the second largest oil storage place in the Middle East, and in addition, coal, natural gas, metal, wood, etc., the Russian mineral deposits in later generations are basically stored in Siberia. Zhao Chen will never let go of this place.

"You Goryeo, that's a good place too! Located in the sea east of Yanjing, it has a population of millions and a lot of wealth, and the environment is much better than that of Liaodong! Zhao Chen ignored An Pulin, and still said to himself.

An Pulin and Li Rui were even more surprised, and they didn't know why Zhao Chen said this today.

"After I settled on the capital of Yanjing, there is no country or nation on this land that can threaten my Great Song Dynasty, and the only possible threat is from the sea, so I must be careful!" Zhao Chen was silent for a moment and said again.

"Your Majesty, how can I be on guard?" An Pulin was even more curious.

"With Goryeo and Shandong as barriers, the sea area east of Yanjing will become the inland sea of our Great Song Dynasty, and our Great Song Navy will flood it, this is the first line of defense! In addition, use Dongying and Ryukyu as the second line of defense to guard against enemies in the open sea! In this way, we will not be afraid of the enemy at sea! No matter how powerful the enemy at sea comes, we will have enough time to react. Zhao Chen said.

"What!" An Pulin was stunned for a moment, and then for some reason, he suddenly felt chills all over his body!

It was now the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and it was gradually entering summer, and even if it was raining, it was only slightly cooler, but he felt as if there was a biting cold wind blowing on his body.

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Li Rui also felt a little dizzy in his head, and hurriedly asked.

"Don't you understand what I mean? Liaodong is so rich, how can I give it to you? You Goryeo is only a small country, both in terms of national strength and military strength, I really don't understand where you got such a big appetite? Why are you so greedy? Why do you think that I am a fool from top to bottom? Why do you look down on me so much? Zhao Chen sneered.

"Your Majesty, we are here to sign a contract." An Pulin said in a trembling voice.

"Sign a contract? Ridiculous! I am the great Song Dynasty and stand up in the world, how can I sell my land to others? Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Your Majesty, we have already said it, you can't help but be trustworthy!" An Pulin said anxiously.

"Credit? Do we need to be trustworthy with greedy and arrogant people like you? What's more, we have been negotiating before, but there has been no result! We haven't signed a contract yet, have we? A small country in the East China Sea wants to use credit to blackmail me, do you think I am really such a pedantic person? Zhao Chen said.

An Pulin and Li Rui all felt as if the sky was about to fall at this moment! They had dealt with Zhao Chen several times, and each time Zhao Chen was extremely gentle, he had never been so domineering, and the two were at a loss for a while.

"Pass the order, order Yue Fei to lead an army of 100,000, Wu Jue to lead an army of 120,000, and immediately march to Goryeo! I ordered that within three months, I will do whatever it takes to take Goryeo, capture the king of Goryeo alive, and make him kneel in front of me! Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Wechen obeys!" Wang Shu and Qu Duan stood up at the moment and said in unison.

An Pulin and Li Rui were rushing outside at this moment, Wang Shu looked at the backs of the two of them and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to stop the two of them?" ”

Zhao Chen said disdainfully: "No! It's just two insignificant Goryeo envoys, since they are in the Great Song Dynasty, everything is under our control! Our army has already set off, are you afraid that the two of them will go back to tell the truth now? ”

******

It was afternoon, but it was pitch black outside.

The rain was pouring down, and the dozens of Goryeo attendants were hiding under the eaves outside the palace at the moment, and An Pulin and Li Rui rushed out of it panting at this moment.

"Two adults, what's the matter?" A squire leader said in surprise.

"Quick! Return to Goryeo now! Immediately! An Pulin said.

All of a squire was stunned, they didn't know what was going on now.

"Let's go!" An Pulin said anxiously.

An Pulin and Li Rui were still striding forward, afraid that the Song army would pursue them.

It took them a full two quarters of an hour to come to the gate of Yanjing City, and after arriving here, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the gate was not closed!

They came on horseback all the way, and the horses were stored at the gate of the city at this moment, and the two of them rode on their horses and headed in the direction of Tianjin Wei, and dozens of attendants behind them also hurriedly followed them towards Tianjin Wei.

"Two adults, what's wrong?" The leader of the attendants caught up with An Pulin and Li Rui from behind, and asked again.

"The Song people don't want to negotiate peace with us at all, they want to march into Goryeo!" An Pulin said while panting.

"What? Into Goryeo? The leader of the guards said incredulously.

"Yes! Advance to Goryeo! We were wrong, completely wrong! An Pulin was so anxious that he almost cried.

The current Goryeo has no defense, how can it be the opponent of the Great Song! Moreover, although when he was in Inju before, he told Jin Can that he was not afraid of the Song army, but he knew in his heart that the Goryeo soldiers and horses were not the opponents of the Song army!

"How so? How so? Didn't the Song people have a civil and military dispute? Isn't the Central Plains a piece of fat? Why do they dare to attack us? Why did their emperor suddenly become so tough? No, I guess I heard it wrong! Yes! An Pulin's whole body was drenched, and he shouted frantically.

"My lord, don't be afraid, we still have a thousand miles of the Great Wall!" Li Ruidao.

"Not bad! We will return to Goryeo immediately, no, we will go to Liaodong immediately, inform General Cui Zhuo, and let him be on guard! That's it! We can hold Goryeo, and even Liaodong! We also want to build a great power like Goguryeo! An Pulin muttered.

The rain continued to fall, and they hurried day and night, and in the middle of the night on July 14, they came to Tianjin Wei.

Along the way, half of the horses had fallen to the ground from exhaustion, and now only half of the attendants behind An Pulin and Li Rui followed.

They originally wanted to go to the port immediately and leave Tianjin Wei by boat, but after arriving here, they found that Tianjin Wei had imposed martial law!

Even though it was night, there were countless soldiers standing guard and patrolling in Tianjin, and they were immediately discovered by the soldiers when they arrived, and hundreds of Song soldiers surrounded them, and their weapons were pointed at them.

"Let us go!" An Pulin said.

"We are Goryeo envoys!" Li Rui was witty, and he said immediately.

"The Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo have started a war, and you Goryeo are now our enemy country! However, Your Majesty has a decree, if the two countries go to war without killing them, we will not kill you, but you can't run around either! A lieutenant stood up and said coldly.

"We're going back to Goryeo!" An Pulin said anxiously.

"It can't be!" The lieutenant said.

"Where are our ships?" An Pulin said.

"At the beginning of the war, your ship was towed to an abandoned dock next door! Now the docks here are transporting troops! The lieutenant said.

"Transporting troops?" An Pulin had a surprised expression on his face.

"We're going to take a look!" Li Rui said.

The lieutenant thought for a moment and nodded.

After a while, An Pulin and Li Rui came to the dock, and they saw hundreds of warships of the same size and size located on the sea, and countless Song soldiers boarded the battleships as fast as they could.

Ships headed towards the eastern sea, like a giant beast rushing forward.

"How many soldiers should there be?" An Pulin muttered.

"Tianjin Wei has a total of 50,000 navies, all of them are dispatched, and they will go straight to Kaijing! The 40,000 navy of Dengju had already set off for Inju a few days ago! The 30,000 navy of Shishikou will soon set off for Haizhou! The lieutenant said lightly.

"We also have sailors in Goryeo." Li Ruidao.

"You Goryeo have 10,000 sailors, but they are scattered all over the place, and they are definitely not our opponents!" The lieutenant said.

"We also have a garrison in Kaijing!" Li Ruidao.

"The number of your garrisons in Kaijing has reached 20,000! But these 20,000 people have no combat experience and have not engaged in any war! The vast majority of our 120,000 troops have participated in the battle with the Jurchens, we have fought across the sea to force Yan Zonghan to retreat to Liaoyang, and we have also participated in the final attack on the Jurchens of Huanglong Mansion and Huining Mansion, we are elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and the strongest army in the world! The lieutenant said.

"We Goryeo can't be wiped out by you! When Goguryeo was in those years, Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Taizong of Tang conquered Goryeo several times, but they were not defeated, you can't be stronger than them! Li Rui felt chills all over his body, but he still kept cheering himself up.

"It was Goguryeo, not Goryeo! At that time, Goguryeo was considered to be a race, similar to the Khitan and the female truth, but the current Goryeo is much worse than the Khitan and Jurchen! You just wait and see here, it won't be long before the whole of Goryeo will be completely defeated by my Great Song! ”

The rain was still falling, and the navy soldiers boarded the ship in the rain, and hundreds of large ships were now heading towards the east, gradually moving away......
