Chapter 578: Arriving in Goryeo

Bu Mu said: "Lord Wang, give Nayan 100,000 loads of grain, our food will not be enough, do you want to reduce some rations?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Of course you have to reduce, if you confess, you will say that at the request of Naiyan Khan, 100,000 quintals will be squeezed out of the military rations to be squeezed out of the Naiyan Ministry for disaster relief." The rations of the whole army were immediately reduced by 30 percent, and they hurried to the road, and there was no time to delay. ”

Bu Kumu said: "Yes." "Beat the horse and go to give the order himself.

Wan Ze said: "Lord Wang, is it intentional to distribute food to Naiyan?" ”

Cheng Yue nodded and said: "Yes, the Mongolian generals are mostly related to the Naiyan department, I don't give it, they will be dissatisfied with me, and they may not be willing to contribute to the war between the two armies in the future." I give, and use this as an excuse to cut their rations, and they turn their resentment on Nayanbu. When Naiyan refuses me to reset Liaodong Province again, their anger will be ignited, and this battle will really be fought. In fact, I have prepared a lot of extra food, all of which are on Liu Shun's naval ship, and it is nothing to give Nayan 100,000 loads. ”

Atahai said admiringly: "The prince is far-sighted, and it is difficult for people to reach. ”

Cheng Yue said: "Okay, let's enter Xianping City quickly, there is always some grain and grass there, make a little supplement, and set off immediately." Atahai, you stayed in Xianping to listen to the news for me, to communicate more with the kings of the host country, to contact and help, and to distinguish between friend and foe. ”

Atahai said respectfully: "Yes, I will obey the orders of the prince. He was already convinced of the young man.

The order to set off was given, and Cheng Yue's army set off again, leaving 100,000 loads of food, just enough to go faster, and an hour later, the army camped outside Xianping City to rest. Cheng Yue and others were welcomed by Yili Sahe into the Xuanwei Division. Warm hospitality.

Xianping City has 27,000 quintals of grain and grass. Cheng Yue took away 20,000 loads, which was not without a small supplement.

The soldiers outside the city were full of complaints. The strength of the rapid march was already large, but it was necessary to cut down on food and clothing, no matter how little food was in the Yan Department, at least there were cattle and sheep grazing, and if it was not good, it could also go hunting and foraging. What do they have? Only the food brought by the army is very unfair in comparison!

The soldiers finished their meal in a few bites. Still hungry and panicked, he was angry in his heart, and he scolded Naiyanbu one after another. Immediately after hearing that Naiyan had opened his mouth at the beginning and asked the prince for 250,000 loads of grain, he scolded even more ugly.

When the Mongolian sergeant heard this, he was silent, secretly ashamed. The king of Zhennan left 100,000 loads of grain for the Naiyan Ministry, which is absolutely related to their unwillingness to do something with the Naiyan Ministry, otherwise with the temper of the prince, who can ask for military rations from him?

At night. Before the soldiers had fallen asleep, there was a sudden sound of sheep bleating. The spirit of the whole army was lifted. Soon news came that the king of Zhennan was worried that the soldiers would be hungry, so he paid for more than 2,000 sheep to be sent to the army.

More than 100,000 troops, thunderous cheers everywhere! Although one person can't get a big piece of meat, but just this piece of heart, the whole army, no one is not grateful. In the end, it is still the prince who is sympathetic to the soldiers, much better than that Naiyan Khan! More than 2,000 sheep, a lot of money!

The army praised Cheng Yue, and the Mongolian soldiers were also moved by it, and they all bowed to the Xuanwei Mansion where Cheng Yue lived.

Cheng Yue had eaten the reception banquet and was about to rest with his wife and concubine, when Mrs. Luo came in from outside and said with a smile: "Official, Buhumu and his mother, Mrs. Jin, came to thank him and were waiting outside." ”

Cheng Yue remembered the events of the day and said with a smile: "A little thing, what is there to thank for, let them in." ”

Soon, Mrs. Jin and Buhumu walked into the room, and as soon as they entered the door, Mrs. Jin knelt on the ground with Buhumu and thanked Cheng Yue with tears: "Lord, thank you for presiding over justice for my son in the public today, and the concubine is ashamed." ”

Cheng Yue hurriedly picked up Mrs. Jin and said with a smile: "Madame, where can I afford to do this, Bu Mu is a talent that I have always valued, this time I was invited to serve in the army, how could I allow others to insult him?" Tabutai's crazy words, Madame doesn't have to mind, let Buhumu be humiliated, but I should apologize. ”

Mrs. Kim was so grateful that she knelt down again and kowtowed, she was a Goryeo woman under the fence, and she always felt that she could not hold her head up among the Mongolian nobles, so she had always lived in seclusion and concentrated on taking care of the Buhumu brothers. Only when Cheng Yue is there, she has someone to rely on.

The wood was pulled by Cheng Yue, and the credit was also arranged by Cheng Yue. This time, Cheng Yue also brought their mother and son home with the army to visit relatives. In the face of the provocation of the generals under the command of Nayan Khan, he did not hesitate to threaten the whole army with a big battle, forcing Tabutai to apologize to Buhumu. Speaking of which, their whole family owes Cheng Yue too much, so much that they can't pay it off, can they not make her grateful?

Cheng Yue had no choice but to help Mrs. Jin and Buhumu up again, and said with a smile: "Madame, what are you doing?" I just did what I had to do, and I was thanked by my wife like this, and I will have it in the future? ”

Mrs. Jin was very happy when she heard Cheng Yue mention it. In this way, does the prince still want to promote Buhumu?

Cheng Yue invited the two to sit down, talked to them for a while, and then personally sent them out before returning to the room to rest.

Early the next morning, Cheng Yue immediately ordered to set off, leaving Atahai and his own soldiers with 1,000 men, and the rest of the army galloped towards Goryeo.

Xianping was not far from Goryeo, and after several days of rapid marching, Cheng Yue led his army across the Yalu River. During the Yuan Dynasty, Goryeo was attacked by the Mongols many times and occupied nearly half of the territory, so the territory was far from reaching the Yalu River, only a little larger than the territory of today's Korea, and it would take a few hundred miles to reach it after crossing the river.

When he got on the boat and crossed the river, Cheng Yue couldn't help but hum softly: "Majestic, high-spirited, cross the Yalu River." As soon as he sang such a sentence, he immediately shut up and stopped.

Wan Ze heard it clearly, and asked curiously, "Why doesn't Xianggong sing?" The song seems to be majestic. ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Just hum, I haven't remembered how to sing it next." ”

Wan Ze didn't ask again, looked at the surging river, and said: "Kudu Lujian was lost and crossed this river to marry Goryeo, she was only fourteen years old at the time, according to Xianggong, she was still a child, will it be very sad?" ”

Cheng Yue heard that Wan Ze was persuading him to be more considerate of Kudu Lu Jian's loss, smiled slightly, and said, "You can see her soon, you can ask when the time comes." ”

Wan Ze sighed faintly, didn't dare to persuade again, grabbed Cheng Yue's arm, rested his head on his shoulder and quietly enjoyed a moment of tranquility under the rush for days.

Crossing the Yalu River, the army picked up speed again, and on the fourth day, under the leadership of Park Qiu, it had reached Suzhou on the border of Goryeo!

The gates of Suzhou City were opened, and the king of Goryeo, Wang Yu, sent the privy envoy Jin Lian and the privy deputy envoy Qiyun to meet them in Suzhou.

Hong Chaqiu's real name is Hong Junqi, Chaqiu is his small character, and he is the second son of Shenyang Hou Hongfuyuan. Hong Bok-won is very interesting, as a Goryeo, he betrayed Goryeo, surrendered to the Yuan army, surrendered the northern territory of Goryeo, and faithfully became a slave of the Mongols.

Hong Chaqiu has been in the army since he was a child, and he is also loyal to the Mongols, and he was known by Kublai Khan for his bravery, and was called by Kublai Khan with small characters for Chaqiu, so others also called him Hong Chaqiu.

Hong Chaqiu was ashamed of being born in Goryeo, caused chaos in Goryeo everywhere, and was scolded in the history books of Goryeo and Joseon for hundreds of years, but as a courtier of the Yuan Dynasty, he was quite competent.

Cheng Yue's red gold dragon flag was extremely conspicuous, and the horses sent to Suzhou City to see it from afar, immediately returned to Suzhou to report the news, and the three Goryeo ministers immediately led a large number of honor guards to welcome ten miles out of the city, waiting for Cheng Yue and the prince and the three princesses.

Wang Tan, the king of Goryeo, learned that Cheng Yue, the king of Zhennan, was going to lead an army to Japan, and he was bittersweet. I am glad to hear that Cheng Yue never harasses the people, and he can worry a lot less when he leads the troops here. The concern is how to determine the rank of dignity and inferiority?

Wang Yu married Kublai Khan's youngest princess, Kudu Lujian, who was lost, while Cheng Yue, who was much younger than him, married Kudu Lujian's lost sister Wanze, and I heard that he might marry another princess Nangjiazhen together!

From this point of view, it seems that Wang Yu should be under Cheng Yue, but Wang Yu and the ministers of the Goryeo court disagree. No matter how you say it, Wang Tan is also the king of a country, and the Goryeo Kingdom has been passed to him for the twenty-fifth generation, which can be described as a nobleman for generations.

What about Cheng Yue? A young man who doesn't know where he came from, rose rapidly in the troubled world, without a little family heirloom, let Wang Yu live under Cheng Yue, isn't it an insult to Wang Yu and Goryeo?

Moreover, Cheng Yue was only a powerful minister in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the highest official title was a second-grade auxiliary general and a nominal bachelor. Although this does not prevent Cheng Yuequan from leaning towards the government and the opposition, in the eyes of the Goryeo monarchs and ministers who pay attention to their reputation, they are much worse than Wang Yu.

In the Goryeo Dynasty, there have long been disputes over the determination of the superiority and inferiority of Wang Tan and Cheng Yue, after all, Cheng Yue is high and powerful, and he cannot be easily offended, and finally even Kudu Lujian was lost and joined the battle. Kudu Lujian was lost and insisted that her mother Bo Yao Wuzhen was the empress, and Wan Ze's mother Ba Ba Han was the imperial concubine, and Nang Jiazhen was not married to Cheng Yue yet, so Cheng Yue was only right under Wang Yu, at least for now.

The Goryeo monarchs and ministers felt that it was extremely reasonable, so they did so. For example, the Xindu or Daru Huachishi Motianqu, which should have been located above the Goryeo ministers, were also replaced by Hongchaqiu.

Jin Lian, Qiyun, and Hong Chaqiu climbed high and looked at it, and sure enough, they saw a banner rolling over, the speed was extremely fast, but it was still neatly arrayed, and the morale was strong, and they couldn't help but admire.

Hong Chaqiu opened his mouth wide, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "People say that the Zhennan Wangjun is strict in discipline and good at using soldiers, and he doesn't want to travel long distances, but hundreds of thousands of troops can gather but not disperse, the front and back are clear, and he can fight the enemy at any time, which is really a rare handsome talent!"
