Chapter VI II. Court Disputes

Just when the country of silk was celebrating the victory of Xinyang City. In the palace of Pyongyang, the royal city of Goryeo in the far northeast, a heated debate is taking place.

On the opposite side of the debate was a clique of civilian officials led by veteran Lee Sung-ho and Prime Minister Park An-jae, while on the other side was a clique of military generals of the Young Zhuang faction led by Marshal Ah Uiji, with King Choi Moon-deok in charge of the role of referee.

Faced with the news of Sung-un's loss of Xinyang City, the king of Goryeo, who had just made an alliance with him, was at a loss, and Choi Moon-deok was by no means an incompetent monarch, and since he succeeded to the throne, he developed his national power and defeated the Japanese kingdom that invaded the southern land, and established his own prestige. Although the military strength of Goryeo is not unprecedented, at least it is not inferior to the strongest era in history. As a king, he naturally hopes to establish a greater achievement, which is to restore the territory that was forced to cede to the Silk Country decades ago. It's a pity that he finally waited for the Liaodong rebellion, and he thought he had seen the right time to take action, but he didn't expect that this plan would be hit in the face just at the beginning. Whether to fight or to make peace has become the biggest issue in front of us.

Prime Minister Park Anzai means that since the first step is wrong, he should stop in time to avoid a head-on conflict with the country of silk, at this time there is no problem for Goryeo to abandon Chengyun, even if the country of silk knows that he has formed an alliance with it, it is impossible for the country of silk to turn against Goryeo for such a false reason, at most apologize to the emperor of the country of silk.

And Ah Yizhi's point of view is also very clear, before the rebellion in the country of silk has stabilized, he will take the lead and send troops to capture Liaodong. According to the information brought back by the envoy, the quality of the soldiers, the level of training, and the actual combat experience of the soldiers under Cheng Yun were not as good as the battle-hardened Goryeo army, and these soldiers were actually the most effective troops in the Silk Country. In this way, the army of the Silk Country is very weak, and after the rebellion, the people's hearts are fluctuating, and it is the best time to send troops.

Cui Wende rubbed his hand back and forth on his forehead, obviously struggling with his inner choice.

Pu An was busy saying: "We have been fighting against the Japanese country for many years, and the national strength has been consumed a lot, and now is the time to rest and recuperate, and it is not appropriate to use swords and soldiers again." If you continue to support Cheng Yun, it will be equivalent to declaring war with the Silk Country, so that our country will fall into war again! ”

Ah Yizhi immediately retorted: "According to what the Prime Minister said, we should not have fought so many years of war with the Japanese State. Your Majesty, our army is coerced to defeat the aftermath of the Wa Kingdom, and its combat effectiveness is far stronger than that of the army of the Silk Country, and it is the best time to start a war with the Silk Country at this time! If we miss it, in a few years' time, our experienced soldiers and officers will inevitably be disarmed and returned to the field, and the combat capability of our army will be greatly weakened, and it will be even more difficult for us to win at that time! ”

Li Chenghui stood up and said: "The war with the Japanese is that they have invaded our territory, and it is a just war to fight back against the enemy for the safety of the country!" ”

"Then our war with the Silk Country now is also to regain the territory that they have invaded, isn't it a just war?" Ah Yizhi immediately retorted.

Li Cheng said sharply: "Let's leave this alone." The country of silk is not comparable to the Wa country, the national strength of the Wa country is similar to ours, we can not afford to drag on the long-term war, and the Wa country itself is not as united as us, so the Wa country will retreat. The land area of the country of silk is dozens of times that of ours, and the strength of the country is far from being comparable to that of our country. Even if we can win for a while, we can't really win the Silk Country. ”

Ah Yizhi said: "General Li, you seem to have made a mistake, we are not trying to conquer the country of silk, our goal is to regain the lost territory, and effectively hold on to that territory, and finally force the country of silk to admit this fact, redraw the border with us, and then restore peaceful diplomatic relations between the two sides." Achieving this strategic goal is not as daunting as you might think. ”

Li Chenghui didn't expect that Ah Yizhi avoided the real and attacked the false, and turned the consideration of the biggest strategic issue into a discussion at the tactical level in front of him, and he was speechless for a while. Originally, he was not a martial artist who used his clever tongue to obtain today's status, and at this time, he couldn't organize a complete rebuttal in his mind, but just said: "This won't work・・・・・・ the country of silk won't give up・・・・・・ you can't ・・・・・・"

Seeing that he had the upper hand, Ah Yizhi couldn't help but smile slightly: "Old General Li, has the years smoothed out your heroic pride back then?" In the face of the Silk Country, it is so shrunk. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Chenghui's face suddenly turned purple. Not because of anger, but because of humiliation. At that time, Li Chenghui rode a horse and held a spear and set up an incomparable martial arts on the battlefield, and was a heroic figure admired even by the previous king. Now that he is being insulted by this junior boy, it is really difficult for him to accept. But in this way, Li Chenghui was full of enthusiasm and rushed straight to his brain, and he couldn't even say a word in his mouth.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Park An hurriedly stepped forward to refute Ah Yizhi, but was stopped by Cui Wende: "Lord Marshal, General Li is a national general, his loyalty and martial courage are unquestionable, we are debating national affairs, you don't use the means of attacking others' reputation to strengthen your position." ”

"Yes, Wechen lost his words." Ah Yizhi immediately lowered his head, and then turned to Li Chenghui and said: "Old General Li, if you don't choose to say anything, you will damage the prestige of the general, and you will be offended. But it is true that I am thinking about the interests of the country, and I am too emotional, please don't be surprised. ”

Since Ah Yizhi has apologized, Li Chenghui naturally can't say anything more. However, this debate gave the Ah Yi faction the upper hand because of this. More important is the idea of King Cui Wende himself, when the princes fought for the throne, and in the end they lost both, and the royal family members were almost wiped out. On the contrary, he was neither a concubine nor an eldest son, and he was lucky to sit on the throne of the king. However, in the face of notoriously unjustified accusations, he was bent on proving his worth by building a greater deed than that of his predecessors. In fact, he did focus on developing his national strength, and defeated the foreign enemy, the Japanese state. Now the idea of restoring his homeland is really full of power for Cui Wende like a ripe fruit, and Ah Yizhi's words explain that he is only using the final occupation of this land as a condition for peace with the country of silk, and this matter has become as if it is close at hand. The balance in Cui Wende's heart was tilted in favor of the Ayi faction, and in the end he made up his mind to assist Chengyun to hold Liaoyang City, and at the same time the whole army went north, preparing for war with the country of Juanzhi!

Park Anzai, who walked out of the palace, looked miserable when he met with Li Cheng, Li Chenghui shook his head again and again, and Park Anzai sighed softly: "As soon as the war starts, the right to end the war is only in the hands of the Silk Country, and the Silk Country will easily stop the war?" ”
