Chapter 702: Turning Anger into Joy
Seeing that Lu Jiang knew that it was a confidential matter, but did not insist on avoiding it, Wang Lun felt that this person was by no means unfavorable to Liang Shan. smiled slightly at the moment and said: "Across the sea from Jingdong, there is a peninsula called 'Goryeo', I don't know if Master Lu knows?" ”
The reason why Wang Lun asked this question was not because he underestimated that this person did not know geography, but because of the atmosphere of the literati at this time, for example, many people could not understand the difference between Goguryeo and Goryeo.
"A few years ago, when my younger brother was in Tokyo, five scholars came from Goryeo across the ocean to enter Taihak and study the culture of our dynasty. Is this little brother of Goryeo still a little bit heard, but I don't know what this has to do with the senior brother's secrets? General Lu didn't know what medicine was sold in Wang Lun's gourd, but he still answered truthfully.
"The king of Goryeo, Wang Mata, was invited by me to live somewhere on the sea half a year ago. Since then, Goryeo's number one minister, Yi Ziqian, Han An-in, the royalist faction, and Gongqi of the previous dynasty have stood on the peninsula. The former is the dominant family, occupying the richest central region of Goryeo, and not long ago, it has received the support of the eastern and northern borders, where a large number of border troops are stationed, and its strength has increased dramatically. Han An-in, a confidant of the former king Wang Mata, had always been at odds with Yi Ziqian, and fled to the south, where he was supported by some civilian and local forces who opposed him, and eventually took control of Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province at the southern tip of the Goryeo Peninsula. Among the three, Gongqi was the weakest, but he was the first to establish a state, and he is currently active in the area around Pyongyang, Seokyung, Goryeo. ”
Listening to the detailed introduction of the political situation in Goryeo across the sea, Lu Jiangzhi had a feeling of time and space confusion. Hearing him say lightly that he had put the king of Goryeo under house arrest, General Lu already looked at Wang Lun with a smile.
"The king of Goryeo can be invited away if he wants to?"
Anyway, what kind of country is this Goryeo, General Lu also has a point in his heart. I once heard the Goryeo classmates in Taixue proudly mention that it seems that three times or four times, Goryeo has won the national war above the level of 100,000 troops of the Liao State. Although such a record is a bit unbelievable, but people say, if we are defeated, how can we still have Goryeo Kingdom, and how can we come to study in Song Kingdom? This kind of reason also makes people pinch their noses and believe it. As for Wang Lun's sudden accusation that he had put the king of Goryeo under house arrest, how could he be able to believe such an unruly thing?
"Although it is not difficult to invite him, it really took some effort: I invited the hundreds of thousands of Goryeo Jingjun who guarded him by the way, and he didn't want to go with me."
This is really a secret, even Qiu Yue doesn't know the details, and from the beginning, he pricked up his ears and listened secretly.
"No wonder Liang Shanbo is mostly passive in the Great Song Dynasty, and rarely goes out to attack, it turns out that the senior brother's business is not here at all!" General Lu suddenly realized that although this matter sounded a little incredible, he felt that with Wang Lun's identity, he would not deceive such a nobody.
"Congratulations, senior brother, the wealth of the lord of a country is in the bag! You will all be the founding heroes of the country in the future! ”
Lu Jiang calculated that he saved a little face for Wang Lun, and his contemptuous eyes only swirled around Jiao Ting and Qiu Yue, which aroused the former to be extremely angry, but the latter was extremely surprised. Lu Jiang didn't pay attention to the reactions of these two people, but secretly sighed that Wang Lun was really a man with a small eye on him, and he intended to take an overseas barren land, so he was complacent, and he also used it to show off in front of him, wanting to leak him Lu Jiang into the gang! It's ridiculous!
You must know that martial artists and horsemen have no ambitions, they are very easy to fool, and fame and fortune are enough, but they don't think which country it belongs to! But if a scribe can't shine in the Central Plains in his life, but goes to the dust outside the world, how can it not be a shame for a scholar? This Wang Lun is getting darker and darker, and it is really difficult for people to look at him:
"Since the senior brother has such great ambitions, the junior brother just lost his words and said goodbye!"
Seeing that this person was so virtuous, Jiao Ting couldn't wait to die a little farther, but Wang Lun didn't say anything at this time, and he didn't step forward to stop him. How do you know that Qiu Yue stopped Lu Jiang's way with a smile, and said in his words: "To be a man, you have to know how to advance and retreat, my owner of the village will tell the truth so secretly, you can leave if you say go?" ”
General Lu glared at Qiu Yue and said to Wang Lun: "Today's matter, the junior brother will never pass it on to the second person, if it is leaked, the senior brother will kill me without complaint!" ”
"Since I told you to tell the next step, why are you afraid of revealing the secret of heaven? It's just that I haven't finished speaking, what are you excited about? If you have been so unable to hold your breath, how will you overthrow Zhao Song in the future? ”
Wang Lun was polite at the beginning, and there was a slight sense of reproach in his tone, but it was also strange, although Lu Jiang's face was a little red when he was said, but after hearing Wang Lun's last sentence, he was only slightly stunned, and actually sat back in his place, and arched his hand: "If there is anything next, the little brother will listen to you!" ”
"There are two boundaries in Goryeo, namely the eastern boundary and the northern boundary, and the Goryeo court has a large number of soldiers in these two places, in order to resist the harassment and plundering of the Jurchens under the Liao State outside the border. But in the past two years, the number of Jurchen crossings has become less and less, do you know why? ”
Wang Lun seemed to be getting more and more boundless, and Lu Jiang was thinking about what was going on with this Jurchen, and subconsciously replied, "Why?" ”
"Because the Jurchens have a high vision, they can't look down on Goryeo's little family background. Their current goal is to scare people to death, and that is to annex the Khitan. Judging from the current situation, they are doing a good job, and the faint monarch of the Liao State who has a fight with our Daojun Emperor has asked the Jurchens for a truce several times! ”
"Why the truce? Because he couldn't bear it. In Hubu Dagang, the 700,000-strong army led by this person was completely crushed by the Jurchens with one as ten. This tribe that has risen to the White Mountain and Black Water now has its own country name, which is called 'Jin'. The implication is that it will never change, and it has the meaning of pressing the Khitan iron country name! ”
"Y-Where did you get the news?" General Lu was finally shocked by such shocking news! What is this Liao country? has bullied the Central Plains Dynasty for more than 200 years, and was beaten so badly by a little-known tribe? Is this possible?
"It's not news, it's true!" Wang Lun waved his hand, "In short, the tiger and wolf Liao Kingdom in the hearts of our Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers has now been completely reduced to a sick dog, and has been cornered by a tiger rising from the mountains and forests. According to the estimation of several military divisions in Liangshan, the fall of the Liao State will be within three or five years! ”
"This group of people is really so powerful?" Facing Wang Lun, who was conclusive, General Lu couldn't help but lose his voice. A person of Wang Lun's status has absolutely no reason to deceive himself with such state affairs.
"For more than two hundred years, the various contradictions that have accumulated at home and many blood debts owed abroad will erupt one after another after the emerging Jin State completely tramples on his authority. At this time, the Khitan, the lord is faint and treacherous, internal and external difficulties, natural and man-made disasters, and strong enemies are approaching. Because not only do the Jurchens want his life, but we, the old neighbors who have been bullied by him for a long time, are afraid that there are also many people in the court who want to read his current newspaper and recapture Yanyun's hometown by the way! ”
At this time, General Lu finally lost his calm completely, and changed various sitting postures very uncomfortably on the chair, and I don't know how long it took, he finally digested the news that Wang Lun told about the sky, and said angrily: "It's not a pity that the Khitan lost the country, but the rise of the Jin country is not a disaster for the Great Song Dynasty." I am rich in the Song Dynasty, a hundred times better than Liao, and when the time comes, I will attract the barbarians to covet it, won't I add another evil neighbor? The Zhao family has no way, it is not a pity to die, it is a pity that I am the people, so I got out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den! ”
It can be seen that Lu Jiang is very painful in his heart, although he hates the corrupt Zhao Song deeply, but he is unwilling to use Yidi's hand to fulfill his wishes, because that will only be a disaster for the entire nation. His entanglement at this time fell in Wang Lun's eyes, which showed more and more the preciousness of this person. He is like a fire, although he is determined to burn down the Zhao family, he silently sticks to his bottom line.
Just when Wang Lun looked at this person with admiration, Lu Jiang suddenly thought of something, and directly opened his mouth to get to the bottom of it: "Senior brother is because he is not sure that he will pacify the Central Plains within three or five years, so he forbears it and does not do it?" ”
"If I officially declare war on the Song Court, it won't be the intensity of children like Tian Hu and Fang La. When the time comes, a full-scale war will inevitably ignite. When Zhao Ji and I fight to the death at home, but give the thief a great opportunity to break in, at that time, you must think that I am still a little rich and safe! Wang Lun smiled self-deprecatingly.
Lu Jiang smiled, thought of something again, and asked in Jian'ou: "Senior brother said that Goryeo borders the Jin Kingdom, so is the senior brother taking Goryeo as his foundation this time, is he preparing for the changes in the coming day?" ”
Who knows, as soon as he finished speaking, he smiled awkwardly and said to himself: "If the senior brother is a person who is a little rich and safe, with your strength, where can you take it?" Not to take Goryeo? Since the defeat of Liu Menglong, a famous general of the forbidden army in the first battle of Beiqinghe, the Liangshan Water Army is famous, but taking overseas places is as solid as gold, so why do you need to wade into this troubled water? The senior brother is so ambitious, and the younger brother is very convinced! There was a lot of misunderstanding just now, please forgive the little brother for being rude! ”
Before General Lu finished speaking, he jumped up and bowed three times to Wang Lun, which was regarded as making amends, and Chao Gai, who was greeting the heroes, saw this scene inadvertently, smiled at the corner of his mouth, turned back with joy, and said to the two heroes beside him: "Since the two heroes want to come to Liangshan, Chao can't ask for it!" After a while, I will take the two of you to see the owner of the village! ”
Almost at the same time, Wang Lun was also saying something similar: "Now, if I invite you to go up the mountain again, I don't know if Master Lu will shirk it?" ”
"The younger brother still has to say goodbye to the elder brother!" Unlike being meticulous just now, General Lu was already smiling at this time.
Wang Lun saw him smiling, and he also smiled, and immediately signaled him to stop selling Guanzi, and sure enough, Lu Jiang hugged his fists and said:
"In the splendid land of the south of the Yangtze River, how can I not be the only one who is not in harmony with the master? Senior brother let me go first, and I will bring five or seven acquaintances in the coming day, and go to the senior brother's command to serve my life! ”R1152
