Chapter 328: Verbal Battle

Goryeo's calculations were very good, and if they controlled the Haoladian area, they would occupy the Yalu River, and the defensive situation would be greatly improved. And they were also very jealous of the wealth there, this time the Song army invaded the hinterland of the Jin State and harvested a lot, not only robbed a large number of grain, grass, and property, but also plundered tens of thousands of people. In ancient times, when productivity was low, an increase in population meant an increase in national strength, which could provide the country with more qualified soldiers, more land to cultivate, and more wealth.

The Goryeo people are not stupid, they know that the reason why the Five Kingdoms Department has not only failed to be eliminated by the Jin State for so many years, but also has been able to continue to grow is because of the support of the Great Song Dynasty in the back, otherwise the Five Kingdoms Department would not have braved the cold and rushed all the way to help the Song army fight the Jin Army, to say that Goryeo really does not have such a big face to please them. Therefore, whether Goryeo Zhidao can come back mainly depends on the attitude of the Song Dynasty.

According to the experience of dealing with big countries in the past, the Goryeo people knew that those so-called big countries had the best face, from the earliest Sui and Tang dynasties, to the later Liao State, Jin State and Great Song Dynasty. A few kind words and a few gifts will reap great benefits, great benefits. In the past, there were examples of obtaining more than ten states of Goguryeo from the Liao State, and the Jurchens obtained Bao and Yuan two states, and now there are the benefits of the Great Song Dynasty coming to the aid of thousands of miles, so they believe that as long as the Mao of the Great Song Dynasty is smoothed, it is not difficult to get the lazy Dian!

In fact, it was not harmful for Goryeo to control the Great Song Dynasty, which was located between the Jin State and Goryeo, which just formed a buffer zone to prevent them from being directly attacked by the Jin, which was of great strategic help. But the Koreans did not see the long-term significance. I only saw the little benefit on my toes, and thought that it was the safest thing to grasp only in my own hands.

But the Koreans forgot one thing. It is the current Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty who is a 'miser' who is calculating and scheming. How could he easily give up such a large piece of land, a few tall hats and a few catties of old ginseng couldn't impress him. What's more, it is an important place to control the Korean Peninsula and Liaoxi, and it is an important part of his strategic layout, so the possibility of Goryeo wanting to return to Haoladian is almost zero, of course, it is not surprising that Zhao Yong has hit a soft nail......

"Dashuai, as long as we can assign Haoladian to our country, our lord is willing to increase the New Year's currency to your country, I don't know what Dashuai wants?" Hearing that the Song and Jin countries had not yet reached an agreement on the ownership of Lazy Dian, Jin Fushi thought that there was still a chance. The conditions were prescribed.

"Lord Jin, the status of Lazy Dian is special, the Jin Kingdom is not willing to give up easily, and I am afraid that there will be another war when it is assigned to Goryeo, and it is not something that can be solved by adding a few years of coins!" Zhao Yongyan said.

"Dashuai, the Jin army suffered a great defeat and sued for peace with the Great Song Dynasty, and it will not be able to use troops against us in Goryeo in a few years, as long as we manage it properly. You can block the Jurchens with the power of one country! Jin Fushi thought that Zhao Yong was afraid that Jin and Goryeo would start fighting again, and the Great Song Dynasty would have to cross the sea to help, and the huge cost would outweigh the losses, so he refused.

"Lord Kim, even so. But the Ministry of the Five Kingdoms has already occupied Haolaidian, which is their former residence, and they will not quit easily! Zhao Yong said patiently.

"Is it Lazy or our hometown of Goryeo? How can it be said that theirs is theirs? I think it's the big marshal who deliberately favors the Ministry of the Five Nations! At this time, the prince of Goryeo, who was sitting on the side, interjected.

"Hehe, His Royal Highness said so. Do the math! "Jin Fushi is an old oilman, and he grinds with soft words. It's really hard to deal with, but it's much easier for a cucumber egg like Shizi who doesn't know how high or low.

"What is there to say about this, I inherit the Goguryeo lineage, not only Haoladian should belong to our country, even Liaodong is ours!" Wang Wei said with some pride that since the Jin army was driven out of Goryeo by the Song army, and the invading enemy was almost completely annihilated, he came back to life and returned to his true nature.

"The words of the prince are still to be discussed!" Zhao Yong's aid to Goryeo this time was a military and political grasp, and he was given the right to make a decision, especially after the emperor decided to occupy Baozhou and Haoladian, he understood that there must be a quarrel with Goryeo, so no matter from which point of view, he must have an understanding of Goryeo's history and humanities.

"Don't you think the marshal?" Wang Wei is the son of Goryeo, and the education he received includes the history of his country, and he knows the difficulties of his predecessors in starting a business, but what he learns is the history that has been deleted and beautified by later generations, and what he preaches is how great Goryeo is and how brave the ancestors are.

"According to the knowledge of this marshal and the historical records, in the eighteenth year of Tang Zhenguan, after more than 20 years of war, Goguryeo was destroyed under the joint attack of Tang and Silla, and Tang set up the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate in Pyongyang, and appointed Xue Rengui as the inspector of the Andong Metropolitan Protector, commanding the troops to defend it, and the ancient Goguryeo kingdom that had existed for 700 years since then perished. After the fall of Goguryeo, most of its remnants were moved into Liaodong, and a small part was integrated into the surrounding ethnic groups, and the royal family became extinct. The territory under its jurisdiction began to be completely under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, and a small part of it was attached to the Balhae Kingdom and Silla as people. Lord Kim, is what Ben Shuai said correct? Zhao Yong did not pay attention to Wang Wei, but asked Jin Fushi, a Korean Confucian.

"Dashuai...... What the handsome man said is good! Jin Fushi hesitated and replied, he knew that things were not good the moment the prince interjected, but what Zhao Yong said was indeed recorded in the official history, he couldn't open his eyes and say nonsense, so he had no choice but to admit it.

"So what?" Wang Wei didn't know the mystery of the Dao, and said domineeringly.

"The prince of the world, please be cautious!" Jin Fushi knew the truth that if he said too much, he would lose, especially for this prince who had never seen the world in the inner court, he glared at Wang Xiao and said.

"The divine king of your country was born in Silla, grew up in Silla, and later took Silla's place, the country is small and narrow, the territory is only a line north of the Taedong River, and the south of the Yangtze River is still a Balhae people, but at this time, Goguryeo has been dead for 250 years, and people have also migrated to various places, how can they inherit it!" Zhao Yong said.

"Goryeo's attack on Goguryeo, as recorded in my Goryeo history books, I'm afraid what the marshal said is only hearsay, right?" Wang Wei sneered and said, where can I believe Zhao Yong's words.

"Even if the historical records are wrong, the words of your Goryeo envoy will not be false!" Zhao Yong said unhurriedly, "In the fifth year of the Song Dynasty's Emperor Yuanfeng, my Great Song Dynasty writer Zeng Gong once raised questions, and sent ten questions in a row, trying to find out the origin of Goryeo, and directly inquired about the Goryeo envoys through the ministers of the pawns. But the envoys of your country did not dare to speak out, and only covered it up with excuses, and did not dare to claim that the national lineage was attacked from Goguryeo! ”

"Kim is in power, can there be such a thing?" Wang Wei thought about it for a while, and he really hadn't heard of it, and asked Jin Fushi quietly.

"Hmm......" Jin Fushi was so angry in his heart, you don't know how to say that you don't know how to do it, how can I answer in front of Song Ren, but he can't help but answer, so he has to vaguely admit it.

"Hehe, if this matter is according to what the prince said, the Song inherited the Tang system, then can the land under our feet be regarded as the Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Yong asked with a smile.

"This ...... It can't be counted, right? Wang Wei was so stammered when he was asked, his face was red, and he squeezed out a fart in a scornful manner.

"For thousands of years, there have been constant disputes in the world, and it is common to change dynasties. If it is traced back to the Tang Dynasty, Liaodong and the north of Kaijing were occupied by the Khitan. After Jin destroyed Liao, it was owned by the Jurchens, which was the most clear in your country in the past, and now it is only a little reluctant to call it the hometown of your country! Zhao Yong looked at the two of them with a smile and said, but the two of them felt murderous, and they couldn't help but snort together.

"The words of the great marshal...... Reasonable! Under Zhao Yong's forced gaze, Wang Wei was in a cold sweat, although he knew that if he said this, things would become more troublesome, but he thought that if he didn't say it, I was afraid that the consequences would be more serious.

"Hehe, the prince is young and ignores the past, this matter is very involved, when the Jurchen people were weak and called me Goryeo to pay tribute, and the Lazy Dian was also invaded by the Bohai people, we helped them expel the Bohai people, and they occupied this place. Who knew that the Jurchens were despicable, and after their fortune, they not only forced us to pay tribute to them, but also sent troops to recapture Haoladian, so this place also belonged to our country! When Jin Fushi heard this, he hurriedly signaled Wang Xiao to silence, and he took over and said.

"Oh, there are still these twists and turns, this is the first time I have heard of it." Zhao Yong was 'surprised', he understood that it was Goryeo who bullied the Jurchens to be weak, and took advantage of the war between the Liao State and the Jurchens to send troops to seize Haolaidian. The Liao State was defeated and retreated, and Liaodong was lost, so where could he take care of these small things. Although the Jurchens were victorious, they were unwilling to fight on both sides, and of course they did not want to offend Goryeo, but Goryeo had to invade the land north of the Yalu River inch by inch, and as a result, Wanyan Aguda sent people to teach a lesson and withdrew from the Lazy Dian area.

"Now that the Heavenly Soldiers have defeated the Jurchens and recovered the Lazy Dian, it stands to reason that they should also be returned to our country, right?" Jin Fushi said with a smile, but he also knew that Lu Dao's explanation was very reluctant, the two countries were fighting each other, and the changes in the territory were very common, and the Song army drove away the Jurchens and helped them restore their original borders, but they were not obliged to return the lazy Dian snatched from the Jurchens to Goryeo, giving them love, and there was nothing to do if they didn't give it.

"Lord Jin, although it is a small place, it involves the peace negotiation between the Song and Jin countries, and it also involves the old affairs of your country, which is not something that this marshal can decide, but I will convey your country's request to the imperial court, and at the same time, I will also ask your lord to send an envoy to discuss!" Zhao Yong thought for a while and said, he knew that it was impossible for either Goryeo or Jin Guo not to go back, and if he directly rejected the peace negotiations that were still going on, then let them go to a war of words!

"It's good!" Jin Fushi knew that Zhao Yong had said to this point, and there would be no result if he talked about it any longer, "Marshal, today I see that your army has begun to withdraw troops from Bao and Yuan, when will we hand it over?" (to be continued............)
