Chapter 598: Opening the Crown
It was the army of the Great Song Dynasty that came from afar, all the soldiers were wearing black armor, and all the soldiers were holding sharp weapons in their hands!
"This ...... What is it? The middle-aged Confucian looked horrified.
"It's Song Jun!" Jin Can muttered, a wry smile on his face.
"How is that possible? The Song people obviously negotiated with us, and they wanted to give Liaodong to us, why did they come here now? The middle-aged Confucian was incredulous.
"Song Jun is here! Our army is now in Liaodong and the Great Wall of China, and no one can stop them at all, and we will definitely be defeated! I'm afraid that Kaijing is dangerous, and Your Majesty is also dangerous! Jin Chan said.
"Teacher, get out of here!" The middle-aged Confucian suddenly reacted at this moment, he knew that it was extremely dangerous to stay here, and said loudly at the moment.
"Getting out of here? Where to go? Goryeo is over, and I would rather die as a martyr. Jin Can laughed miserably.
"Teacher, let's go!" The middle-aged Confucian grabbed Jin Can and was about to go into the distance.
"A month ago, I should have gone to Kaijing to personally dissuade His Majesty and the imperial court, but I didn't do that! I'm sorry for the country, I'm sorry for the nation. Jin Can broke away from the middle-aged Confucian student, with tears in his eyes.
"Teacher!" The middle-aged Confucian was unusually anxious.
The Song army was getting closer and closer to them at this moment, and soon a group of Song troops came towards here, and a moment later they were surrounded by this group of Song troops.
"Who are you?" One of the captains in the Song army stood up and said coldly in Goryeo.
"I'm just reading books, hanging out outside." The middle-aged Confucian student's face was pale and he hurriedly said.
Song Jun's swords and spears were pointed at him, and his whole body was trembling now.
"The old man is Jin Can, who once served as the prime minister of Goryeo!" Jin Can stood up straight, dark and calm.
"What? Prime Minister of Goryeo? The lieutenant was taken aback.
He looked at Jin Can carefully, and only felt that this was an old man in his last years, and he couldn't get in touch with the prime minister.
"Take me to your lord!" Jin Chan said.
"I'm sorry, our general doesn't have time to see you now!" The captain said coldly.
"Knowing that I used to be the prime minister of Goryeo, didn't you want to kill me?" Jin Can sneered.
The lieutenant was hesitating here what to do, when another officer came up behind him and whispered a few words in the lieutenant's ear.
"It turns out that you were the prime minister of Goryeo twenty years ago! You are an old man in his eighties, and our Great Song Army will not kill the old and weak, women and children! You stay at home, if you choose to join us in the future, we will not treat you badly! The lieutenant said lightly.
At that moment, the captain actually let Jin Can and the middle-aged Confucian students go, and their team continued to follow the army towards the front.
Jin Chan was still standing there, with a look of loss on his face.
"Teacher, let's go! I'm afraid that the world is going to be in chaos, so we have to hide quickly! The middle-aged Confucian was still anxious.
"I'm my age, what else is there to be afraid of? It's a big deal! I'm watching the army of the Great Song! You see, their ranks are very neat, they march extremely fast, and their weapons are unusually sharp! In a foreign land, their warriors did not have the slightest fear or fear, apparently because they had experienced a lot of war! Even if our army is here, it is not their opponent, not to mention that my Goryeo army has now gone to Liaodong! I'm afraid there isn't much hope left! Jin Can muttered.
At this moment, the middle-aged Confucian quickly picked up Jin Can and fled quickly into the distance.
Wu Lan was in this army, and he had already heard the captain's report and knew that the Goryeo Great Confucian Jin Chan was here, but Wu Lan didn't have time to talk to such an old man now.
He led 40,000 troops to set out from Dengju in advance, and arrived in Goryeo on the same day as Wu Jue, Wang Gui and others, and he was responsible for attacking Inju in the south!
The three armies were attacking the capital of Goryeo from three directions, and they had to occupy all the strategic points within a radius of 200 li, and they could not allow the king of Goryeo to escape from Kaegyeong.
"Go now! Before dark, we must take Inju and cross the Han River to Kaegyeong! Wu Lan said coldly.
******
Kaigyeongseong, where the capital of Goryeo is located!
At that time, the capital of Goguryeo was in Pyongyang, but during the Sui and Tang dynasties, Emperor Yang of Sui, Taizong of Tang and others repeatedly attacked Goguryeo, and Pyongyang was ruined.
It is the most prosperous city in Goryeo and the most fortified city.
Late at night, the rain was getting heavier, and there was thunder and lightning in the sky.
However, in the palace of Kaegyung, at this moment, the king of Goryeo and the historical king of Goryeo Injong is feasting on his ministers.
Wang Kai sat on the throne, and the two rows below were the ministers of the court.
These ministers are all civil officials, and there is not a single military general!
Goryeo, like the previous Great Song Dynasty policy, has an extremely high status of civil officials and an extremely humble status of military generals! Moreover, the vast majority of generals are in Liaodong at the moment, and there are almost no generals in Kaijing.
"Your Majesty, this time after Lord An and Lord Li go to Yanjing, they will definitely be able to sign a contract with the Han people, and then the Song army will retreat from Liaodong, and this Liaodong will belong to us!" A civil official, who was about forty years old, stood up and said.
This civil official is about forty years old, but he is unusually handsome!
This person is Goryeo Prime Minister Tuo Junjing, who can be said to be Wang Kai's right-hand man.
"Your Majesty, after having Liaodong, we can build a strong country like Goguryeo back then! Whether it is the Khitan or the Jurchen, they are our people! There are still some Han people in Liaodong, and those Han people are also our people! However, in Liaodong, the status of our Goryeo people is high, far surpassing these Khitans, Jurchens, and Han people! Another civil servant stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, it has been more than two hundred years since the founding of my Goryeo state, but no one has been able to occupy Liaodong! Your Majesty, after you occupied Liaodong, that side was the first Ming monarch since the founding of Goryeo! "There are civil officials again.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, you will definitely go down in history in the future, and everyone knows Your Majesty's great achievements!" A civil official in his thirties who looks extremely obscene.
Hahahaha......
Wang Kai laughed on it!
He was only twenty-four years old, his face was unusually pale, his eyes had heavy dark circles, and his hair was so thin that it was almost gone! Since the age of fourteen, he has been greedy for women, and until now, he has long been old and decrepit!
He was laughing and coughing for a while before stopping.
"Wouldn't it be nice to wait until we take Liaodong, and then go south to occupy the Great Song Dynasty and enslave all the Han people in the future?" Wang Kai said.
"Your Majesty is right, we can't just be satisfied with Liaodong, our goal is the whole world!" Tuojun Kyo Road.
"We now have an army of 500,000, and when we take Liaodong, we can make all the Khitans, Jurchens, and Han people there become slaves and join the army, so that our army can surpass the Great Song Dynasty, and we can really compete with the Great Song Dynasty!" Wang Kai said.
"Your Majesty, what a great idea!" Tuojun Kyo Road.
"But before that, I want to pick show girls all over the country again! There is only one queen in my palace now, three imperial concubines, forty-seven imperial concubines, hundreds of other nobles, Chang Zai, etc., and there are only more than 3,000 palace maids, which is really too few! I am the king of Goryeo, and I deserve to be a concubine! Wang Kai said.
"This, Your Majesty, we still owe a lot of silver to the Great Song Dynasty." Tuo Junjing hesitated.
"We can give that money to Da Song later, you have to give it to the draft girl first!" Wang Kai said unhappily.
"We naturally listen to Your Majesty!" Tuo Junjing was still hesitating, and a Wenchen had already opened his mouth and said with a smile.
Then the rest of the Wenchen said that they wanted to give Wang Kai a draft girl, and Wang Kai was happy.
"I let them make delicious food, each of which costs dozens of taels of silver, and some even require hundreds of taels of silver, and these fine wines are also carefully selected from all over the world, so let's enjoy them." Wang Kai laughed.
The Goryeo monarchs and ministers reveled here, but they didn't know that the Song army had come to the city of Kaijing.
******
In the middle of the night, it was dark from a distance, and the gate of Kaijing had already been closed, but there was not a single soldier on the wall of Kaijing.
On the one hand, because of the rain, the soldiers had already hidden, and on the other hand, this was the capital of Goryeo, and all the Goryeo people thought that it was extremely safe here, and no one expected that the Song army would suddenly appear under the city of Kaijing!
Wu Jue led the army to come quietly, he looked at the city wall above, and ordered someone to take a rope, and then Wu Jue threw it with his hand, the rope rose into the air, tied to the protruding arrow battlements on the city wall, Wu Jue waved his hand, and several Song soldiers climbed towards it.
After about half an hour, the city gate to the west of Kaijing opened, and countless Song soldiers swarmed in!
"Leave 30,000 people to attack the defenders of Kaijing, and the rest will follow me to the palace!" Wu Jue coldly gave an order.
At that moment, 30,000 soldiers were heading towards the Kaijing defenders at various city wall positions, and Wu Jue led 20,000 soldiers to brave the rain and rush in the direction of the Kaijing Imperial Palace.
Wu Jue didn't expect that entering Kaijing City would be so smooth, and at this moment he was both happy and apprehensive, he was afraid that the king of Goryeo would get the news and leave here in advance.
After about a quarter of an hour, Wu Jue came to the Goryeo Imperial Palace.
He waved his hand, and now the 20,000 naval soldiers headed in all directions outside the palace!
They didn't enter the palace, they surrounded it!
Until this time, the Goryeo people in the palace still didn't notice it!
But soon, there were screams in the entire Kaijing City, and a bloody atmosphere permeated the top of the Kaijing City, and at this time, the Goryeo in the palace knew that something was wrong.
More than a dozen palace guards opened the palace gate, and they came outside with torches, but at this moment, the sound of whizzing bows and arrows breaking through the air came, and these dozen palace guards suddenly fell in a pool of blood!
More and more palace guards came out from all directions, only to be shot by the Song army!
By this time, the entire palace was shaken.
