Chapter 405 The Emperor VS the Princess
"Do you want to fight with the Great Song?" The Goryeo envoy was shocked.
"If it's a war, it's not impossible!" Princess Goryeo said calmly, "Although Goryeo is weak, there are two or three million people, and they can raise 100,000 strong soldiers. Even if these 100,000 strong soldiers are not as good as the Song Dynasty, they still have more than enough to defend the city, and as long as it lasts for a year, I will be victorious in Goryeo. The Song Dynasty's labor division expedition to Goryeo, relying on the navy's transportation capacity and logistics supply capacity, can support the expedition of 50,000 troops at most, which is also the limit of the Song army's strength. Otherwise, once too many troops are used, it will cause the emptiness of several other troops and the difficulty of logistical supply, which will cause a devastating disaster to the Song Dynasty at that time! ”
In the court, don't look at the emperor of the Song Dynasty one by one, he will destroy the country if he doesn't sign a contract, and he looks like he is menacing, but in fact, the princess of Goryeo didn't take it to heart.
The capture of Goryeo was not economically cost-effective, and the military cost was too high.
The Song army has limited troops, and it is an expedition of laborers, and once it stalemates, it will be in a difficult situation.
It's just that once the Song army marched to Goryeo, it also meant that the relationship between the Song Dynasty and Goryeo completely deteriorated. And this will bring devastating disaster to Goryeo. No one wants to offend the Song Dynasty, and the so-called war between Goryeo and the Song Dynasty is only the worst plan, and it may be a defeat for both sides after the worst.
"It's just that the emperor of the Song Dynasty won't take this step and make a decision!" Princess Goryeo smiled, with an old expression in her expression: "If I expect it to be true, it won't be long before this emperor comes to the door!" ”
"The emperor came back to the door?" The Goryeo envoy was surprised, "Moham. The emperor of the Song Dynasty found out about the princess! ”
"It's natural, don't underestimate this emperor, there's nothing. You can hide him! Princess Goryeo said, "There were two major news agencies in the Song Dynasty, the internal guard was responsible for supervising the news of hundreds of officials, and the Military Intelligence Department was responsible for collecting military information, both of which were essentially the eyes and ears of the Great Song Emperor. The palace came to the Song Dynasty secretly, which seems to be secret, but in fact, it can't be hidden! ”
said. There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a Goryeo guard said: "Lord Gao, Qin Hui, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, has sent an invitation!" ”
"The invitation is coming!"
Princess Goryeo said lightly. I just felt a little surprised in my heart.
Sure enough, the emperor of the Song Dynasty still likes to go into battle shirtless and likes to deal with it personally.
…………
In the Royal Palace. Zhao Pu was taking a walk.
Take a walk after a meal. Helps with digestion and more importantly helps to cultivate mood. A good mood is half the battle!
And at this moment, accompanying the emperor is Prime Minister Qin Hui.
"Your Majesty, if Goryeo does not sign an alliance, do you really want to raise troops to crusade against Goryeo?" Qin Hui asked.
Zhao Pu nodded: "If it comes to that moment, I will not hesitate to fight!" ”
Qin Hui nodded, not saying anything. That's the good thing about traitors. can do all actions and orders to obey the command, and those so-called loyal subjects. For the sake of the bones, for the sake of bearing, yin and yang are violated.
"But that's the worst-case scenario!" Zhao Pu said calmly, "If you can do it with money, you don't need to use swords!" ”
Qin Hui took a deep breath again, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but only horror remained in his heart.
After getting along for a few days, Qin Hui also figured out the temper of the emperor. usually has a good temper, even if some courtiers make things difficult in the court, they don't care too much; But once the emperor made up his mind to do something, he couldn't pull back the cow at that time.
Everyone in the world is not looking back if they don't hit the south wall; And he hit the south wall, and he didn't look back, he wanted to crash the south wall alive and destroy it.
Such an emperor is the best to wait, there is no fear like a tiger, and there is no life and death caused by moodiness, just need to abide by some rules of the emperor and not offend the emperor's bottom line, it is enough.
"Come to think of it, Goryeo is intimidated by the majesty of my Celestial Empire, and he will definitely not be obsessed, and soon, he will definitely sign a covenant!" Qin Hui said, secretly slapping a sycophant.
Zhao Pu shook his head and said, "That may not be." When the Khitan rose, the Bohai Kingdom was destroyed, but Goryeo still existed; Later, the Jin Kingdom rose and the Khitan fell, and Goryeo still existed. Goryeo was weak, but there were capable people. ”
"The covenant is bound to be signed, but it's just a sky-high price, just sitting on the ground and paying back!"
At this time, one of the guards stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the invitation has been sent to the Goryeo envoy!" ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Pu nodded and said to Qin Hui: "Qing family, are you interested in going on a date!" ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Qin Hui said.
…………
Baihualou is a gorgeous restaurant in Hangzhou, in which the cuisine is unique. And this restaurant is one of Zhao Pu's private properties.
Escorted by the guards, Zhao Pu came to this restaurant.
In a booked Accord, Zhao Pu sat down, drank tea, and was thinking. On the opposite side was a woman in men's clothes, it was Princess Goryeo, fanning her fan with a cold expression.
On both sides, they were guarded by guards to guard against the Assassins. And at 200 meters, a small team, patrolling, seemingly casual, is actually ready to attack at any time.
The longer he was the emperor, the more Zhao Pu was afraid of death, and the more he cared about security measures, and everything was done without leakage. No matter how many precautions are taken, it is not too much, to prevent gentlemen and villains, life is more important than everything.
Neither of them spoke, observing each other.
Intelligence comes first in warfare, and intelligence comes first in diplomacy.
In order to gain the initiative in negotiations, when the Goryeo envoys had just arrived in Hangzhou, all kinds of information about the mission had already fallen on the desk. This Goryeo princess, who traveled in makeup and came to the Great Song Dynasty, also attracted Zhao Pu's attention.
In the main hall, Zhao Pu looked carefully for a long time, but did not find the whereabouts of this princess among the Goryeo envoys.
And at this moment, looking at the woman opposite, Zhao Pu found a shadow.
This Goryeo princess looks very ordinary, not to mention the country and the city, and the country is fragrant, and it is not touched at all, it can only be said to be beautiful. It's easy to be overlooked in the crowd, but it is this neglected character who has become the key figure in this covenant.
No man can look good, and the sea cannot fight!
Zhao Pu secretly commented.
At this moment, the princess of Goryeo was also observing the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and she seemed to be affected by the sight in the main hall, and she did not notice the special features of this emperor.
At this moment, when I looked closely, I realized that this emperor seemed to be a little melancholy!
Looking at the handsome face, I unconsciously give people a sense of sadness and depression.
"During the Warring States Period, King Wuling of Zhao reconnoitred the terrain of Guanzhong in order to spy on the situation of the King of Qin, so as to surprise attack the Qin State and disguise himself as an envoy to enter Qin. And today, for the sake of the covenant, the princess personally spied on my Great Song Dynasty, and there is a legacy of the ancients, which I admire very much! Zhao Pu said.
Princess Goryeo smiled and said: "King Zhao Wuling, what a hero, Hu Fu riding and shooting, invincible in vertical and horizontal, creating a strong Zhao; And I am just a princess of Goryeo, a humble and small country, not seeking to dominate the world, but only to save my life. Where can it be compared to King Wuling of Shangzhao! ”
"It's not easy to save your life!" Zhao Pu said, "Six years ago, the Jin army invaded the south and Jingkang changed, what happened to those powerless princes and ladies?" The spoiled were spoiled, the killed were killed, and those barely alive were caught in the barracks...... I don't even have the strength to escape, I don't even have the strength to commit suicide. At that time, I didn't have the heart to call the emperor the emperor, and I only wanted to live in troubled times. At that time, I was lucky, and I had soldiers who fought bravely, and thanks to the blessing of my ancestors, I finally saved half of the country and survived. It's a pity that my father, my brother, younger brother, sister, etc., those royal clansmen, fell into the hands of the Jin people, and they wanted to save their lives but couldn't get it! ”
"Although the Jin Army was defeated this time, it was also dangerous. Now, relying on half of the country, it is just a stealing life, one is not careful, the country collapses, the world is turned upside down, and I may also fall to the ground. ”
"Your Majesty, mourn!" Princess Goryeo said.
"Mourning!" Zhao Pu smiled, "The past cannot be changed, and the future is the most important." I only want to destroy gold in the future, and then even if I lose my life for ten years, it will be enough! ”
"It's just that the country of Jin is strong, and I am not as good as the country of Jin. It is also thanks to the fact that our Goryeo is mountainous, which is not conducive to cavalry combat, so that we can protect the whole country. It's just that if Goryeo and the Song Dynasty form an alliance, Goryeo will inevitably be under the Jin army at that time, and I, Goryeo, will probably destroy the country at that time! ”
Once again, the princess of Goryeo voiced her concerns. (To be continued......)
