Chapter 392: Goryeo in pain
Yelu Yixin is also worthy of being the privy envoy of the Northern Court, and from just one piece of information, he can judge that Xiao Hujian and Yelu Chongyuan are already in collusion and are ready to join forces to deal with him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info It is impossible to say that there is no trace of emotion.
But to say that it is afraid, it is also impossible. Yelu Hongji has a calm and quiet personality, strict and resolute, and is most taboo for someone to form a party for personal gain. The reason why Yelu Yixin was able to get Yelu Hongji's favor was also because he had never been involved in party disputes and concentrated on his own selfish interests. It is precisely because of this that Yeluhongki was deceived by him.
And Yelu Yixin doesn't seem to have any dealings with the ministers of the court, which is precisely where he is smart. Taking advantage of the complicated relationship between the DPRK and China, he was like a fish in water during his time in the mix. But this kind of dancing on the tip of a knife is not something that everyone can do. What Yelu Yixin relied on was Yelu Hongji's favor.
Yelu Yixin himself is also extremely sensitive to the changes in the situation. The friendship with Yelu Chongyuan is also because Xiao Xulie, the prime minister of Beifu, was originally at odds with Yelu Chongyuan. He intervened, but he just wanted to fall into the ground. This kind of tacit understanding in the court, without a little technology, how can it be grasped just right. Not only stepped on Yelu Chongyuan to be "half-body", but also did not make Yelu Hongji suspicious, this kind of technology, looking at the court of Liao, how can there be a second person who can do it!
A traitor with such skills, why should he care about how many political enemies there are? As long as Yelu Hongji behind him still believes in him, no matter how many political enemies there are, it's just a number.
In the capital, in the palace of the imperial uncle. Jerunerugu still had some confusion about today's events. At the dinner table, Yelu Nerugu asked: "Father didn't explain to Xiao Hujian, if something happens in the future, he will not obey him, what about Nai?" ā
Yelu Chongyuan was eating a piece of mutton and almost choked when he heard the words. Yelu Nerugu hurriedly poured a cup of tea and gave it to him. Yelu Chongyuan, who came to his senses, smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know if you are my son, so I can't see it?" As long as Xiao Hujian is in alliance with us, he will be brought into this matter. Even if we start an incident in the future, if he doesn't join, he will be labeled as a rebel. Do you think he will be appointed? ā
Yelu Nerugu understood, even if Xiao Hujian was not involved at that time. But once they are considered to be in the same party as them, and they fail to rebel again, Xiao Hujian will definitely be purged from the court. In that case, how could he not let go?
When Jerunerugu understood this joint, he still felt that he was at a loss in his heart. The pressure on him from 400,000 palace tent troops, 30,000 royal tent horsemen and 10,000 guards was too heavy. When he said this, Yelu Chongyuan smiled mysteriously and said, "It's okay, we still have King Chen's army of 50,000!" ā
Yelu Nerugu was taken aback and said, "King Chen, Chen Liu? ā
"That's right, it's the king of Chen who likes to give himself a Chinese name, Yelu Jaw." Yelu Chongyuan smiled.
Jerunerugu was not sensitive to political affairs, but he had a different sense of military affairs. He calculated, but still felt a little weak. Even with King Chen's help, their military strength was only half that of Yelu Hongji. In addition, the soldiers are scattered everywhere, and it is not like the palace tent army gathered in one place. If you want to succeed in rebellion, it is not easy to say!
Yelu Chongyuan also sighed and said: "The success or failure of this matter depends on whether Yelu Hongji is in charge of the expedition in person." If the plan can be successful, it is gratifying. However, with this kid's suspicious nature, the possibility of a royal driver is very small. ā
Yelu Nerugu said with a smile: "Father, it is impossible for Yelu Hongji to go on a personal expedition, but he will definitely go hunting." As long as we set up an ambush in advance, we will be able to succeed in one blow! ā
Yelu Chongyuan nodded, knowing that it was rare for Yelu Nerugu to come up with a good plan. It's just that Yeluhongji was so easy for them to know about the hunting place in advance, then he is not Yeluhongji.
Yelu Chongyuan knew that this matter was not easy to succeed, so he sighed and said: "This plan requires accurate information, and we are dreaming about it here, to no avail. Let's talk about it again, it's better to listen to King Chen's opinion. ā
Jerunerugu nodded and said, "Yes, Father." ā
Goryeo Kingdom, the capital of Gyeonggi Province, is in the middle of the Imperial Palace. The king of Goryeo, Wang Huizheng was furious. There are actually not many things that can make Wang Hui lose his temper like this, and he is so angry because Shuo Fangdao has been invaded by the Jurchens again.
Originally, because of the bad relationship with Dashun, the food was already insufficient. At this moment, he was even robbed by the Jurchens, and no one could stand it! Previously, Wang Hui was determined to attach himself to the Liao State, also because the Liao State had a repressive power over the Jurchens. Dashun had no ability to protect himself at that time, and Goryeo thought that he had seen through the reality of Dashun, but unexpectedly put himself in a predicament. Now the situation is getting worse, Dashun interrupted trade with Goryeo, and the Goryeo people can only go to the territory of Liao in exchange for the products of the Central Plains. The Liao State could only suppress the Jurchens for half a year, and after the border was calm for half a year, the Jurchens became even more unscrupulous, repeatedly invading Goryeo, burning, killing and looting, and being more ferocious than before.
Even if Goryeo had the Great Wall to resist, it could not stop the cavalry of the Jurchens coming and going. In just a month or two, Goryeo lost a lot of people and money, and did not touch a single hair of the enemy. Even if it does, with the combat strength of the Goryeo army, there are no 30,000 or 50,000 people who dare not go out of the city!
Caught in a situation where enemies are on all sides, Wang Hui felt bitter in his heart. Not only did it cost a lot of money to change the suzerain, but the situation of Goryeo was still the same, or even worse. Although Dashun had no intention of attacking Goryeo, Wang Hui had to send troops to defend the border with this increase in troops. It's not okay to send less, after all, it's your own fault, and people come to beat you, which is justified.
The land of Goryeo was barren, and it was impossible to increase the army. With this division of troops, Shuo Fangdao's defense will be weak. And Dashun told this information to the Jurchens through the merchants. The Jurchens, who are determined to rebel, now the most important thing is to increase their strength. The fastest way to increase strength, except to rob weak countries, there is no comfortable way.
In the Shouchang Palace of the Goryeo Palace, Wang Hui angrily reprimanded his generals and said: "You say that you are powerless to defend, but where are you leaving the people of Shuo Fangdao?" You have 20,000 soldiers and horses, but you can't take 2,000 Jurchens? You're not shirking your responsibilities for what! How do you face the people of Goryeo, how do you face the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty! ā
Seeing Wang Hui's angry appearance, Tan Cheng didn't dare to refute. The minister Cui Jie'an, who was on the side, came out and said: "Your Majesty, please be aware that most of my Goryeo army are foot soldiers, and the Jurchens are all cavalry. If it is in the middle of a field battle, if you want to encircle and suppress 2,000 cavalry, you must set up an ambush. If General Tan rashly attacked, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to keep the 2,000 Jurchens, but I am afraid that the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Shuo Fangdao will also lose more than half. ā
Wang Hui was even more annoyed when he heard this: "Is Cui Qing bullying orphans and not understanding military affairs?" The Jurchens have captured more than 10,000 of my Goryeo people, how can they have any combat power! Even if they didn't dare to intercept it before, when the Jurchens left, why couldn't they shrink down? I have kidnapped so many Goryeo people, can the Jurchens still have any combat power? To put it bluntly, Tan Cheng just didn't dare to start a war with the Jurchens! (To be continued.) )
