Chapter 289: Goryeo Court Meeting
"Wu Yong, you have done such a big thing this time, you can be regarded as a great hero of Liang Shanda, I want to thank you for Liang Shan!" After sending Yang Jian away, Wu Dong looked at Wu Yong. Π//
"Governor, I'm just carrying out your orders. As long as you're satisfied, everything will work. Wu Yong looked humble.
In the past, he gave advice, lest others would not praise him. But this time, he did such a big thing, but he pretended to be modest and cautious everywhere, which made Wu Dong feel very funny.
"Anyway, I remember your credit." Wu Dong said with a smile.
"Thank you, Metropolitan Governor......" Wu Yong said happily, and after a while, Wu Yong said again, "Metropolitan Governor, I didn't see Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Shun and others when I came back this time, where did they go?" β
"They went to Jiangnan to recruit people." Wu Dong Road.
"Ahh Wu Yong was slightly stunned.
"There has been a great drought in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and this year is another great drought, coupled with the disaster of HuΔ Shigang, the people there live extremely hard, and many places have begun to change their children and eat! Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Shun and others went to Jiangnan to recruit people, but they just promised to take care of the food, and without any other language, those people would follow Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Shun to Goryeo, hey. Wu Dong sighed a little.
"The huΔ stone gang of the imperial court is really harmful." Wu Yongdao.
Jiangnan was originally the most populous place in China, and it was also the richest place, but because of the huΔ stone gang, it became a hell on earth. Because of HuΔ Shigang, it also ruined the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty. Wu Dong couldn't help but think of a poem in later generations, "Long live the mountain to poor Kyushu, and there are still thousands of people in Biandi." The Central Plains has many kingdoms since ancient times, and who knows that it is a stone when the Song Dynasty dies."
Shaking his head, Wu Dong said, "Wu Yong, you have completed this task, I am very satisfied." Now you can take a good rest, and I'll give you an easy task. β
"I don't know what the task is?" Wu said curiously.
"Go to Dongying to do business." Wu Dong Road.
"Uh...... But the Goryeo War was about to begin, and as the chief of the operations department, how could I go to Dongying to do business? Wu said with a slurring voice.
"Of course, you can also sit in the combat department, but you also know that your head of the combat department is in name only, and everything is managed by HuΔrong himself, and you just get angry when you go there. If you're willing to go to the combat department to get angry, then go for it. Wu Dong said politely.
Wu Yongyu cried without tears, he didn't expect to accomplish such a big thing, and HuΔ Rong was still in charge of the combat department, which made him very unhappy.
Wu Yong left, and Wu Dong looked at his back with a smile on his face. Wu Yong really surprised him, I hope Wu Yong can also create a new situation in Dongying.
The scale of trade between Liangshan and Dongying was too small, and Wu Dong desperately hoped that the scale of trade between the two sides could be increased, and the brocade, tea, etc. from the Central Plains could be sold to Dongying in exchange for a large amount of copper, gold and silver. As far as Wu Dong knew, there were several huge copper and silver mines in Dongying, and those were all endless wealth.
In the afternoon, HuΔrong urgently asked to see Wu Dong and said, "Dadu, we have just received information that the Goryeo are attacking Yuanzhou and Baozhou. β
HuΔ Rong pointed out the locations of these two cities for Wu Dong on the map, both of which were on the north bank of the Yalu River, which was considered the territory of the Liao.
Wu Dong was taken aback and said, "How can they attack these two places?" β
HuΔ Rong said, "Dadu Governor, the intelligence department has obtained information that the Jin people have occupied most of Liaodong, and these Yuanzhou and Baozhou belong to several cities that have not yet been occupied by the Jin people. The Koreans wanted to gain a territory on the other side of the Yalu River, so they attacked these two places. β
Wu Dong pondered for a moment and said, "Who is the person leading the troops?" How many soldiers and horses did Goryeo send in total? β
HuΔ Rong said: "Goryeo's northern general Li Sang-eun led the troops, and the number of soldiers and horses was close to 100,000. β
Wu Dong said in surprise: "100,000 people? All the soldiers and horses on the northern border of Goryeo were dispatched? They don't defend their borders anymore? β
HuΔ Rong said, "Now that the Liao people are decadent, it is impossible to take the initiative to attack Goryeo, and the relationship between the Jin people and Goryeo is said to be good, and they will not attack Goryeo, so Goryeo will be able to chou the soldiers and horses." Governor, what now? β
Wu Dong said, "Just let them make trouble...... If the Koreans want to conquer these two cities, they will definitely spend their troops, which is also a good thing for us. β
******
On the northern border of Goryeo, in order to resist foreign attacks, the Goryeo people built the "Great Wall of a Thousand Miles" here.
Because of the lofty mountains here, coupled with the "Great Wall of a Thousand Miles", in the past hundred years, the Liao people have not invaded the territory of Goryeo.
Of course, the Koreans have never gone north from the Great Wall, but this year was an exception.
Li Shangen, the general of Goryeo, led 100,000 soldiers and horses out of the thousand-mile Great Wall and surrounded Yuanzhou and Baozhou of Liao.
Li Shangen is a middle-aged man in his 30s, he held a silver gun in his hand, rode a war horse to the city of Yuanzhou City, and said loudly, "Let your city lord Yelu Ning come out to talk!" β
There was a commotion among the Liao soldiers on the city wall, and after a while, a white-haired veteran stood up, he looked at Li Shangen below, with a mocking face, and said, "It turned out to be General Li of Goryeo, what's the matter...... You, Goryeo, as a vassal state of our Great Liao, dare to attack our Great Liao? β
Li Shangen laughed out loud and said, "Da Liao? Hahahaha, do the Khitans still dare to call themselves Da Liao now? Your Tokyo has been beaten down by the real people, and it's ridiculous that you dare to call yourself a big country like you are now! I think that in ten years at most, you Khitans will be completely destroyed. β
Yelu Ning gritted his teeth and looked at Li Shangen, and said coldly, "So you Gaoli, an immature dog, also want to come up and take a bite?" β
Li Shangen's face turned red, but he still said, "Yelu Ning, we don't want to fight with you either, as long as you let go of ChengmΓ©n and surrender to Goryeo, I can spare your life." β
Yelu Ning said coldly: "Dream! Come on, give me shΓ¨ arrows and kill him! β
Countless bows and arrows came towards Li Shangen, although there was still a long distance from Li Shangen, but Li Shangen was startled, he hurriedly turned around, and then hurriedly said, "Attack the city, capture Yuanzhou and Baozhou for me!" β
From the beginning of May, the Goryeo people's battle for Yuanju and Baoju began. Goryeo had 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the Liao people only had 20,000 soldiers and horses, but although the Liao people were decayed, they were still much stronger than the Goryeos.
It has been half a month since the attack, and the Goryeo people have suffered heavy casualties, but they are still unable to capture these two cities.
"General, what now?" Li Shangen's personal soldiers said a little anxiously.
"What to do? Of course, it is to increase the number of troops in the country! This time, I must fight Yuanzhou and Baozhou...... I, Goryeo, have not aspired to expand for more than 100 years. Li Shangen gritted his teeth and said.
On the same day, Li Shangen sent a letter to the country, asking the domestic soldiers and horses to continue to support the battle of Yuanzhou and Baozhou.
******
When Goryeo opened the capital, King Wang Mata, the king of Ruizong, received a letter from Lee Sang-eun and hurriedly gathered all the courtiers to discuss the matter.
"The Liao people have lost Tokyo, and Shangjing is about to be lost, I didn't expect it to be so powerful. You all talk about it, should we continue to increase our troops and capture Yuanzhou and Baozhou? Wang Yu said.
"My lord, I think it's necessary. However, we don't have a lot of soldiers in our country, and I think we need to recruit them. Tai Lieutenant Li Haoran said.
Li Haoran is not only a lieutenant, in charge of the Goryeo Privy Council, but also the head of the Goryeo Li family. The Li Shangen in the north is Li Haoran's own nephew, and he naturally supports his nephew.
"King, it doesn't make much sense for Yuanzhou and Baozhou to be defeated, I don't think there is much need to spend troops." A privy councillor of the Privy Council is called Zhang Yan's Dao.
The ministers discussed this matter a lot, but none of them reached a conclusion.
"King, if Yuanzhou and Baozhou are defeated, we will have two more important cities on the other side of the Yalu River, which will be of great help to improve my national strength in Goryeo." Li Haoran said again.
"Liaodong is basically the territory of the real people, even if we take down those two cities, if the real people attack, what should we do?" Zhang Yandao.
"Is it a real person? Are they strong? I don't think so...... Decades ago, the real people even had to live on the snort of our Koreans, and now they are only temporarily powerful. One day, we in Goryeo will be like NV...... Dawang, if you think about the former Goguryeo, how vast the land was, don't you want to restore the former Goguryeo land? Li Haoran said.
"This ...... How do I recover? Wang Yu was obviously very interested in this and asked.
"First of all, we should be conscripted! In that year, the total number of soldiers in Goguryeo reached more than 500,000. But what about our current Goryeo? The total population of our country is several times larger than that of Goguryeo, but our military strength is only about 100,000, is this appropriate? Li Haoran said.
"Master Lee, our Goryeo is not Goguryeo, and it is impossible to achieve the glory of Goguryeo." A minister said.
Li Haoran quarreled with this minister, and there was a lot of noise in the court.
Wang Yu's brows furrowed, not knowing what to do.
At this time, Taishi Jin Dongqing suddenly stood up and said, "King, can you let the old minister say a few words." β
Wang Yu hurriedly said, "What does the master want to say, please tell me quickly." β
This Kim Dong-cheong is now the first person among the ministers of Goryeo, and his prestige is extremely high, and when he wants to speak, the court immediately quiets down.
Jin Dongqing said, "King, ministers, I don't think we should attack Yuanzhou Baozhou at this time. β
Wang Ma said, "Why is that?
Jin Dongqing said, "We still have internal troubles in Goryeo, and we really shouldn't fight in the north before we clear the internal troubles." β
Li Haoran said: "The internal troubles you are talking about are those Liangshan thieves? β
Jin Dongqing nodded and said, "Yes, the Liangshan thieves are getting stronger and stronger, and sooner or later they will become our henchmen." β
