Wang Ben sent troops, the four route soldiers assisted Goryeo to attack the Japanese slaves, and now I have to talk about the two roads of the Song State in the four route soldiers next to the king, Yang Shihan led the troops from Dengzhou to aid the three thousand sailors next to the king, and Nong Jifeng was allowed by the imperial court to personally lead the three thousand sailors from Yizhou, did Zhao Shu find out his conscience,

Zhao Shu is just sober, one is the pressure of officials, after all, the Great Song Dynasty is also a big country, is it possible that the action to rescue Goryeo is only to send an envoy, and sending troops is also an attitude, besides, the Liao State has produced 30,000 troops and everyone knows it, is it possible that the Song State will not send a single soldier, which is inevitably a little underestimated by the Song State,

And there is another side that makes Zhao Shu have to send troops, that is, the public opinion of the society and the voice of the people, which is related to the news that Zhao Zhongzhen told the little brother, that is, the death of Prime Minister Bao Cheng.

Song Yingzong and Zhao Shu couldn't figure it out, in terms of official positions, Bao Zheng was not as prominent as Fu Bi, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo and others, and Bao Zheng did not achieve the post of prime minister in the end; In terms of political achievements, Bao Zheng is not as good as Fan Zhongyan and Sima Guang; In terms of talent, it is not as outstanding as Ouyang Xiu, Su Dongpo and others, and the only poem that has been handed down in Bao Cheng's life is the poem on the wall of the Duanzhou County Shoufu:

Pure heart is the root cause, straight road is the strategy,

Xiugan will eventually become a building, and steel will not be a hook,

The warehouse is full of rats and birds, and the grass is full of rabbits and foxes,

There is a testament in the annals of history, and those who come are not ashamed,

But it is this Bao Zheng Bao Prime Minister, because he is not afraid of the powerful, does not show favoritism, is honest and honest, and is admired by the people, Bao Zheng's impartial law enforcement, righteousness has become the embodiment of fairness and justice, Bao Zheng's death in the capital and even the Song Kingdom has caused a sensation, where Bao Zheng served in his life, the people spontaneously set up a mourning sacrifice in front of Bao Gong's rice drying platform in Chenzhou,

And in the capital, the people went to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion to form a group to mourn, the sound of the people's sighs, the streets and alleys can be heard, people say that Prime Minister Bao is doing his best, Renzong is reluctant to leave Prime Minister Bao, all to take the Prime Minister away, and some say that Lord Bao is worried about the Holy Body of the new monarch, worried about state affairs, the most headache for Yingzong is that the people of the capital know that Bao Zheng's righteous son was sent out by the imperial court, and he could not return to the court and did not send troops, this is something in the court who was jealous of Prime Minister Bao on purpose, and Prime Minister Bao was angry to death,

The first two rumors are better, the last spearhead is aimed at the imperial court, the imperial court is jealous of the virtuous, and the officials are inactive, this is the life of Song Yingzong, the people who mourned Lord Bao, and issued a petition to let the court send troops to protest, Yingzong is confused, and he also knows that if he provokes public anger, he, the emperor who has just come to power, will completely lose the hearts of the people.

Bao Zheng died of illness in May, Yingzong ordered Yang Shihan to send troops in June, Li Liangzuo made trouble at the border in July, and now in early August, he reviewed these things in the rear of the king, and then looked at the king, he has arrived in the capital of Goryeo, Kaijing Songdu, the king doesn't know anything about the rear, he vaguely knows some, but no one tells him the truth, and in May and June, the king is on the prince mountain, and after going down the mountain, he is busy dealing with the affairs of sending troops, and a few people around him don't say to him, so how does he know, Wang next to the rear news is too slow to blame for the underdeveloped communication in the Song Dynasty, The information is slow to respond, and he only wants to get this war done as soon as possible.

At present, the troops of the Great Liaobo Navy have been stationed outside the capital of Goryeo Kaegyong for a short rest, and on this day, Li Enze led Wang Bean, Sinzan, and Yelu Asi to the imperial city of Songdo in Goryeo to meet Emperor Wenzong of Goryeo.

Wang Bi didn't understand the language of the Goryeo stick at all, but fortunately, Xin Zan knew a little bit about it, and with Li Enze as the translator, Wang Bi made up his mind not to worship the Goryeo people, not to laugh, and he would definitely not make a big mistake.

After coming out of the palace, the king returned to his tent, and before he had time to rest, a soldier came to report: "Wang Shilang, Xin Linya please go over to discuss the matter." ”

"I know, I'll go in a minute." The people who came next to the king were sent away, and asked Han Derong again: "Have Brother Zhe and Zhang Ping come back?" ”

Han Derong replied: "I've come back." As he spoke, he handed a wooden box to the king and said, "Wang Shilang, they went out again with the Goryeo interpreter, saying that they would go to Songdu City today to exchange for some food stamps. ”

Wang Bei snorted, and then heard Han Derong ask puzzledly: "Wang Shilang, why are you exchanging so many Goryeo food stamps with silver, and you also add two percent of silver, isn't this a loss?" ”

Wang said: "Don't worry, you can't lose, now the people of Goryeo know that the grain stamps can be exchanged for more silver, let's go to Goryeo, along the way the people of Goryeo have personally sent grain over, saving a lot of transportation troops, and the grain and grass are also abundant, you must know that the logistics are labor-saving, the grain and grass are enough to stabilize the army's heart." ”

Han Derong still frowned: "But...... These food stamps, don't you say that when Goryeo takes them back, they all add one percent, let's add two percent, and the people of Goryeo secretly give us food stamps, and the more we collect, the more we lose. ”

Wang Bei had already changed his clothes, and he said with a smile: "It's nothing, when we all go to the Japanese slave country, you will know the use of these food stamps, let's go, let's go to the big tent of the Chinese army." After he finished speaking, he glanced back at Wa Zhuang: "Wa Zhuang, how are you getting in touch with Nong Shilang over there." ”

Wa Zhuang replied: "We have already been contacted, Nong Shilang's troops attacked Kyushu Island on August 17. ”

Wang Bian nodded and said as he walked out: "Okay, you wait here, by the way, I have always wondered how to contact Nong Shilang's troops at sea." "This is a question that has always troubled the king,

Wa Zhuang smiled: "It seems that there is really something that Wang Shilang doesn't know, there are methods of sea communication at sea, patrol fleets at sea, and outposts on islands in the sea area." ”

Wang Bian suddenly realized that the construction of the Great Song Navy was much more advanced than he thought, which made him have some confidence in Nong Jifeng's navy, and he joked: "You really think that I am an immortal who knows everything." ”

Wang said and took Han Derong to turn around and walk out of the big tent, and he vaguely heard Wa Zhuang whisper behind him: "It's okay if it's not." After Han Derong walked beside the king, he heard it clearly, and he vaguely felt that Wa Zhuang's tone was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Wang next to the Chinese army into the big tent, Xin Zan and Yelu Asi have been waiting in the tent, Xin Zan invited Wang to sit down, the Liao army finally finalized Xin Zan's commander, Ah Si is the vanguard officer, Wang is enshrined as the president, this battle is under the command of Wang Pan, so Xin agreed to coordinate the dispatch of Wang Pan Liao officials,

Xin Zan said with a smile on his face: "Here's the thing, originally we planned to stay near Kaijing to prepare grain and grass, and set off in five days, but I didn't expect that Goryeo is really rich in grain and the people are rich. ”

Yelu Asi also smiled and said: "But isn't it, I just asked the guy, and they said that there are some Koreans who are now transporting grain and grass to us in an organized manner, and you say that this Koreans are also strange, and they have started a business that specializes in transporting grain to the troops, which saves us a lot of money, haha." ”

Xin Zan also nodded and said, "Yes, this is thanks to Wang Shilang's strategy of exchanging food stamps for grain, which saves a lot of manpower." ”

The king smiled, these had already been expected by him: "This is nothing, the two of you called me here, not just for this matter." ”

"Of course not, now that there is enough food and grass, we want to discuss with Wang Shilang whether we can march to Tokyo in advance." Sinzan replied,

Wang didn't speak, he walked to the front of the handsome case, spread out the map of Goryeo, and said in his heart: Li Enze, the Goryeo stick, refused to hand over the specific map of Goryeo when he was in Liao, and now he can't hand it over, Xin Zan and Yelu Asi also came over,

The map clearly indicates the four gyeongs, eight mu, fifteen prefectures, one hundred and twenty-nine counties, three hundred and thirty-four counties, and twenty-nine provinces: Yanggwang-do, Gyeongsang-do, Jeolla-do, Jiaoju-do, Seohae-do, Dongjie, and Beijie.

Wang pointed to Gyeongsang-do, the easternmost part of the Goryeo map, where Tokyo, Sangju, and Jinju were distributed in a triangle: "Now that the Japanese slaves have occupied Tokyo in Goryeo, Jinju and Sangju Goryeo are still struggling, as long as our army arrives, we can drive the Japanese slaves out of Jinju and Sangju, Yang Guang-do and Jeolla Province According to Lee Eun-taek, the Japanese have not yet attacked, so the only place where the Japanese slaves can go is to retreat to Tokyo, and we will proceed according to the pre-plan, and take Sangju and Jinju first." ”

"Okay." Jereus and Sinzan answered together,

Wang next to a few more innocuous words, when leaving the Chinese army tent, Ah Si sent Wang out of the side, Wang side saw that he was grinding and chirping and seemed to have something to say, walked a few steps next to Wang stopped next to the foot: "General Ah Si is there something else." ”

Ah Si rubbed his hands embarrassedly, and asked with a smile: "Wang Shilang, I, I have something I want to ask you about." ”

The king looked at him embarrassed, and he made a color to Han Derong, and Han Derong immediately understood: "Then I'll go back first." Then he turned and left,

Seeing that there was no one nearby, Yelu Asi asked the king in a low voice: "Wang Shilang, I heard that the price of the grain stamps on the black market has risen quite quickly, and I secretly kept more, you can rest assured, these are definitely not to deduct soldiers, this is my own exchange, I just want to ask you, you said that after the battle, can Goryeo really exchange it for one percent according to the original statement." ”

"That's a must." The king said affirmatively,

"Hehe, now that the black market has been exchanged for two percent of the profit, do you think it can still rise?" Ah Si asked nervously,

Wang looked at him with a smile, and Ah Si hurriedly added: "It's not me who wants to ask, hehe, just tell me." ”

The king looked around, and said mysteriously: "How much can it rise, I don't count, the more the Japanese slaves are eliminated by us, the more room for growth." ”

"Okay, just have what you say, wait until you get to Guangshangdao in Goryeo, and see how our Bohai Navy kills these dead slaves." Ah Si smiled and said with confidence,
