Chapter 567: The Goryeo Army

The heavy snow had already stopped for several days, and in the morning, the sun was shining all over the land!

It's just that the snow on the ground has not melted, and the cold wind is still blowing, it is a cold sunny day!

It was at this time that Zhao Chen, Yue Fei, Yu Yunwen and others came to Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo.

When there were still more than ten miles away from Liaoyang Mansion, there was a sound of horses' hooves from the south, and not long after, Zhang Xian led more than 10,000 elite soldiers to meet him!

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, nominally Yue Fei led an army of 50,000 to the south, but in fact, Zhang Xian led the army south! Zhang Xian has been in Liaoyang City for half a month, and yesterday he got the news that Zhao Chen was coming!

"The last general will see Your Majesty!" I saw Zhang Xian get off the horse, kneel on one knee on the ground, and said excitedly.

"I'll see Your Majesty!" The soldiers behind knelt down one after another and said in unison.

"Hurry up!" Zhao Chen laughed.

Zhang Xian and those soldiers just got on the horse, and everyone looked at Zhao Chen with joy! Zhao Chen was able to restore the country, mainly relying on the army, he has a very high prestige in the army, and the soldiers not only respect but also love him.

"Your Majesty, let's go to Liaoyang City!" Zhang Xiandao.

"Good! Liaoyang is the former Tokyo of Liaoguo, and it can be said that it is the first city in Liaodong, and I have long wanted to see it! In the past, these were all foreign territories, but now they belong to our Han people! Zhao Chen said with a smile.

The weather is cold, but Zhao Chen is still very thin, his martial arts are strong, and he has already entered the realm of cold and heat! Looking at the soldiers in front of him and the faint Liaoyang City in the distance, his heart was also excited!

In the distance, there was snow everywhere, and they began to gallop on this endless snowfield!

"What is the situation of the Koreans now?" Zhao Chen said.

Yue Fei, Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen and others were all beside Zhao Chen, and they were all listening attentively at the moment.

"Your Majesty, after the arrival of our army, the Goryeo people never continued to advance! However, the cities east of Zhenhai Mansion have all been taken by them, and the cities south of Liaoyang City have also been taken by them! Zhang Xian said.

"What is the exact strength of the Koreans?" Yue Fei said.

"In the beginning, their strength was 250,000, but in recent times they have increased their strength by 100,000, and now their strength has reached 350,000!" Zhang Xiandao.

"They have a lot of troops! By the way, who will be their master? Zhao Chen said.

"Their chief is called Choi Zhuo, a famous general in Goryeo! Now this Cui Zhuo has been named the generalissimo of the expedition to the west by the king of Goryeo, and 350,000 Goryeo soldiers and horses are under his command! Zhang Xian said.

"Generalissimo of the West? Amusing! Zhao Chen's face showed a mocking expression.

"General Zhang, did the Koreans try to attack Liaoyang City during this time?" Yu Yunwen said.

"They didn't attack Liaoyang City, but now some of the Goryeo soldiers and horses are just south of Liaoyang City, only more than thirty miles away from Liaoyang City!" Zhang Xiandao.

"Oh? How many Goryeo soldiers and horses are there in this part? Yue Fei immediately asked.

"About 50,000 people!" Zhang Xiandao.

"I want to go to the Goryeo military camp to have a look, to see how this Goryeo is doing, are you interested in accompanying me!" Zhao Chen thought about it and said suddenly.

"This ......" Yue Fei was stunned and said, "Your Majesty is so noble, how can you be willing to take a risk and go to the Goryeo military camp?" ”

"I'm just going to take a look, not fighting them right away! Jang Heon, was the Goryeo army infantry or cavalry? Zhao Chen said.

"The number of cavalry in the Goryeo army is very small, and most of them are infantry!" Zhang Xiandao.

"We are all cavalry, are you afraid that they will not be able to do infantry? Let's go, go over and have a look! Zhao Chen said.

Yue Fei was silent for a moment, no longer blocked, and now the army galloped towards the south!

When Yue Fei went south, he led 20,000 cavalry, and Zhang Xian led 10,000 cavalry.

They passed from the west side of Liaoyang City, Zhao Chen looked at Liaoyang City, and saw that the city walls here were tall and simple! There is a wide moat under the city walls, but the weather in the northeast is too cold, and now this moat is still frozen!

"The five capitals of Liaoguo, each is not trivial! Needless to say, Yanjing and Datong, Shangjing and Zhongjing guard the grassland, and Tokyo is the center of Liaodong! If we want to govern the north, we must first govern these big cities! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty is right! Whether it is Shangjing, Zhongjing, or Tokyo, we must send important ministers of the DPRK and China to garrison it! Yu Yunwen said.

"Yunwen, I intend to hand over Liaodong to you to govern, are you interested?" Zhao Chen said.

"This ...... That's the best! Yu Yunwen was silent for a moment and nodded.

"You've been working by my side most of the time since you followed me, and you've not really been in charge! So, although you are excellent, you still lack some governance experience! I'm young, you're young, we still have a long way to go, so you can't stay by my side all the time, you have to go to the local government to do politics, and then grow up, so that you can take on more important tasks in the future! Zhao Chen said.

"Weichen understands, thank you Your Majesty!" Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen smiled and nodded, he was very much looking forward to Yu Yunwen, and he also appreciated Yu Yunwen's talent very much! It's just that Yu Yunwen is indeed too young, so he still needs to let Yu Yunwen polish it for a few more years!

"Liaodong is not very far from Yanjing, if there is an emergency, you can return to Yanjing and report to me in person." Zhao Chen said.

"Wechen knows!" Yu Yunwen said.

Thirty thousand troops galloped on horseback, and after more than half an hour, near noon, they came to the Goryeo military camp.

The speed of the Song army slowed down, and Zhao Chen, Yue Fei, Yu Yunwen and others rode to the front, and they kept looking ahead.

At this moment, a Goryeo army appeared in the distance!

These Goryeo troops were dressed very strangely, they wore very high hats, and they even wore robes, and the outside of the robes was covered with armor! They had halberds in their hands, and the team was very neat!

"Let's go, go over with me and have a look!" Zhao Chen said.

He suddenly rode towards the Goryeo army, and Yue Fei and the others hurriedly followed.

A moment later, they were in front of these Koreans!

There were about 200 Koreans in front of them, and their formation was still very neat, but they all had panicked expressions on their faces, and many Koreans had a bewildered expression on their faces.

Zhao Chen, Yue Fei and the others circled around these Koreans and then returned to the Song army again, and those Koreans were already running towards the south in a hurry at this moment.

"How is the army of Goryeo?" Zhao Chen said.

"They are in a neat formation, and it seems that they train a lot on weekdays! It's just that they are dressed strangely, and such a dress is not conducive to combat at all! Our army is full of cavalry and archery, and they are long clothes and long coats! Their weapons are all halberds, not as good as the spears and crossbows of our infantry, as for our cavalry weapons, there are close combat, long-range combat, they are far inferior! Their soldiers look thinner and have average physical fitness, while our soldiers are much stronger and far better than them! What's more, their soldiers lack toughness! Yue Fei said.

"Tough?" Wang Shu said strangely.

"A truly strong army is an army and soldiers that have gone through thousands of tempers and countless wars, have infinite self-confidence, bravery, and courage, and can fight the enemy without hesitation when necessary! Such an army and soldiers, like lions and tigers, are invincible! It seems that the Goryeo army in front of me is vulnerable in front of my Great Song army! We're strong adults, they're toddlers! Yue Fei said.

"Well said! They lack murderous spirit and arrogance! Although they are in a neat formation, they are only imaginary, and their real strength is not enough to mention! Zhao Chen nodded and said.

Zhao Chen, Yue Fei and others continued to move forward, and along the way, they kept seeing the Goryeo patrol army, and these Goryeo patrol troops were terrified and fled to the south.

Soon after, the sound of war drums was heard in the Goryeo army, and there was a lot of noise in the Goryeo military camp.

"Send someone to the Goryeo army and tell the Goryeo generals here that I have come to Liaoyang City, and ask the Goryeo generals to go to Liaoyang City to see me!" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

******

There was chaos in the Goryeo army, two quarters of an hour had passed, and the Goryeo had not yet finished the formation.

At this moment, in the tent in the middle of the Goryeo military camp, more than a dozen Goryeo generals are sitting here, and there are also a few Confucian scholars here.

One of the generals in his thirties was slightly fat, with a horizontal face, his eyes were small, but there was a cold glint in his eyes, and he had a small beard under his chin, which was like iron! He is not very handsome, but he is dressed in gold helmet and gold armor, and he is covered in a bright red cloak, which makes him look extraordinary!

He is the chief general of this Korean army, Kim Changsheng!

"Song Jun actually came to the outside of our barracks, what should I do?" Jin Changsheng's gaze swept over the generals below and said.

"Naturally, it's a big fight with them!" A fair-skinned general in his forties stood up and said.

"General, we may not be the opponents of the Song army!" At this moment, a middle-aged Confucian stood up and said.

This Confucian is Jin Changsheng's military advisor, Li Rui, a famous wise man in Goryeo!

"Master Li, we haven't set out yet, you will mess with our army's heart, it's really damned!" Suddenly, a general about twenty years old stood up and said coldly.

"Yes, Master Li, you can't mess with our military morale!" Jin Changsheng also nodded and said.

"General, the Song army has been able to defeat the Jurchens over the years, which is enough to prove that they are strong!" Li Ruidao.

"It's nothing like a mere Jurchen! Didn't the Jurchens cross the Great Wall back then? Now didn't we Koreans also hit Liaodong? We didn't see the Jurchens blocking it? Jin Changsheng said.

"That's because the Jurchens are all restrained by the Song army!" Li Ruidao.

"Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Han people have declined! Their territory is getting smaller and smaller, and their army is getting worse and worse! They weren't even the opponents of the Tanguts, and we're not weaker than the Tanguts, right? The Han people were able to defeat the Jurchens, because the number of Jurchen soldiers and horses was too small, they fought from the north to the Central Plains, the battle line was too long, and the supply was not effective, so the Han took advantage! We don't want to conquer the entire Central Plains, we just want to restore the former Goguryeo! In Liaodong, sooner or later we will have to fight with the Song army, and we can't be afraid of them! Jin Changsheng said.

Li Rui frowned, and didn't say anything more at the moment.

Jin Changsheng stood up at this moment, and he was about to order the whole army to attack, when the sound of soldiers reporting came from outside.

Say:
