Comparatively speaking, whether it is Western Xia or Tubo, in the eyes of Goryeo, it is naturally a strong country, and in the impression of the world, in the foreign expeditions of the Great Song Dynasty, there are few victories, although it is said that Chu Yi destroyed Dajin, showing the strength of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, this deep-rooted impression is difficult to change, otherwise, it would be impossible for Western Xia to try his best to unite with Tubo to fight against the Great Song Dynasty in the face of Chu Yi's conquest, isn't it just to fight.

Similarly, although the Great Song Dynasty in the eyes of Goryeo said that there were signs of rising, in the bottom of Tuo Junjing's heart, in fact, his opinion of the Great Song Dynasty had not changed much, so he was so sure that Li Ziqian said that the Great Song Dynasty would definitely be defeated by Western Xia and Tubo.

As the saying goes, how great the expectation is, how much disappointment there is, Li Ziqian and Tuo Junjing are full of expectations that the Great Song Dynasty can be defeated by the hands of Western Xia and Tubo, so that the defeated Great Song must have no spare strength to take care of the conflict in the border land.

After all, the northeastern frontier is thousands of miles away from the Great Song Dynasty, and it is a bitter cold place, so it should not be taken to heart by the Great Song Dynasty.

Only in this way can they seize the opportunity to expand externally.

But now Li Fang has brought such shocking news, if the news is really true, wouldn't it mean that the Great Song Dynasty has successively destroyed the three major powers of Dajin, Western Xia, and Tubo?

Li Ziqian is the powerful minister of a country in the end, and his temperament is not ordinary, so he came back to his senses, looked at Tuo Junjing and said: "My family, if Western Xia and Tubo are destroyed, it is difficult to guarantee that the attention of the Great Song Dynasty will not be transferred to us, and the expansion of the border land must be stopped." ”

Tuo Junjing took a deep breath and nodded to Li Ziqian, the fool also knew that if he provoked the Great Song Dynasty again at this time, he would really be a little ignorant of current affairs.

I only heard Tuo Junjing say: "After I go back, I will gather my men and horses, and keep a low profile enough during this time not to stimulate Da Song." ”

Hearing Tuo Junjing say this, Li Ziqian said with a little relief: "I hope that the Great Song Dynasty will not notice our movements here, but although our Goryeo is not a strong country, we are not afraid of things, so when the in-laws go back this time, we must seize the time to train our soldiers and horses, just in case." ”

As a famous general of Goryeo, Tuo Junjing of course knows that he is not afraid of 10,000, he is afraid of what happens, if the Great Song Dynasty does not look for their trouble, then it will be fine, but once the Great Song Dynasty targets them Goryeo, then Goryeo is not a person who is left to be slaughtered, and he always has to fight hard, right.

After all, for thousands of years, their wars between Goryeo and the Central Plains have not been once or twice, although there have been major defeats and losses during this period, there are also times when they have defeated the Central Plains Dynasty, so although Tuo Junjing and Li Ziqian are quite worried in their hearts, they are not too afraid.

His eyes fell on Li Fang, and Li Ziqian said to Li Fang: "My son immediately went to ask Cheng Fengfeng to go to the Central Plains to take a trip, and be sure to find out the information clearly and bring it back as soon as possible." ”

Li Fang obeyed the order and left.

As the largest clan in Goryeo, the Qingyuan Li clan is naturally not bad, not to mention the celestial ancestors in the clan, even if there is more than one strong person who has been collected.

That Cheng Qi is a strong man in the realm of a great grandmaster supported by the Li family, and with the footsteps of a great grandmaster and a strong man, it really doesn't take too much time to go back and forth.

That is, on the third day, when Li Ziqian was busy preparing ordnance materials for Tuo Junjing, Li Fang walked into Li Ziqian's study with an extremely ugly face holding a secret letter.

When Li Ziqian was dealing with government affairs, he hated it very much when someone broke into the study and disturbed him, so Li Ziqian, who was disturbed, looked up with anger on his face, and when he saw Li Fang, Li Ziqian frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Fang didn't understand his father's temperament, and knew in his heart that he was disturbing Li Ziqian's handling of government affairs, but Li Fang presented the secret letter in his hand and said: "Father, this is the information brought back by Cheng Qi, it can be called a hundred thousand urgent, and I invite my father to read it for myself." ”

Stretched out his hand to take the secret letter, Li Ziqian opened it, his eyes swept over, his face suddenly changed, his whole body trembled, and the inkstone beside him was touched by Li Ziqian and fell to the ground.

Obviously, the content of the secret letter was so amazing that even Li Ziqian's concentration was suppressed.

After a while, Li Ziqian came back to his senses a little, and said to Li Fang: "Fang'er, immediately send someone to invite Tuo Junjing." ”

Li Fang responded.

And after Tuo Junjing received the news, he rushed over as soon as possible.

In the study, when Tuo Junjing took the secret letter from Li Ziqian's hand and swept the contents of the secret letter, Tuo Junjing's reaction was not much better than Li Ziqian's, and he was completely stunned by the news.

After a period of relaxation, Li Ziqian obviously calmed down, looked at Tuo Junjing with a shocked look on his face and said: "My family, the Great Song Dynasty doesn't take us to heart at all, just Chu Yi, who led only 50,000 soldiers and horses, even wanted to destroy my Goryeo, what a shame." ”

Tuo Junjing sneered and said: "Thinking that back then, the hundreds of thousands of troops of Emperor Yang of the Great Sui Dynasty had not returned from a great defeat, and it was simply delusional to want to destroy my Goryeo. ”

In the face of pressure, it is either a collapse or an outbreak, it is obvious that Tuo Junjing and Li Ziqian will not collapse so easily, otherwise, the two will not be able to control the military and political power of Goryeo.

While speaking, Tuo Junjing looked at Li Ziqian with a solemn expression and said, "My family, it seems that we have to do our best this time, otherwise, we will become sinners in Goryeo." ”

Li Ziqian is worthy of being a generation of powerful ministers, looked at Tuo Junjing, nodded without hesitation, and said, "Although the in-laws can rest assured, they will provide you with the most abundant armaments and grains, and will definitely not let the front-line soldiers have no weapons, no grain and grass." ”

Tuo Junjing hugged his fists at Li Ziqian and said, "In this way, I will thank my in-laws on behalf of all the soldiers." ”

After the two calmed down, they naturally discussed how to deal with this catastrophe, and after successfully erecting Renzong, the gap between the two gradually emerged, but now that there is pressure from the Great Song Dynasty, the gap between the two will naturally disappear, as before, with tacit understanding.

Almost an hour later, Tuo Junjing left the Guogong Mansion, and not long after returning to his mansion, many Goryeo people saw Tuo Junjing, who was the chief of the Goryeo soldiers and horses, leading a team of personal guards to rush out of Wangjing at a very fast speed.

With Tuo Junjing's own cultivation, it was only half an hour's work and he returned to the camp on the bank of the Yalu River.

On the banks of the Yalu River, tens of thousands of troops are stationed here, accounting for almost one-third of Tuo Junjing's soldiers and horses.

The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under Tuo Junjing are almost seventy or eighty percent of all the soldiers and horses in Goryeo, otherwise, Tuo Junjing would not be jealous of Li Ziqian.

However, the first thing Tuo Junjing did when he returned to the camp this time was to order his generals to recruit soldiers and expand the army.

Yes, according to the results of Tuo Junjing's discussion with Li Ziqian, while Chu Yi's troops had not yet arrived, they would pile up 200,000 troops.

That is to say, if you remove Tuo Junjing's current men, you will have to expand at least 50,000 people, 50,000 horses is not a small number, and it is definitely not something that can be achieved in one day or two days, so Tuo Junjing will mobilize his generals.

Not to mention the others, many of these generals under Tuo Junjing were children of the powerful families of Goryeo, and had close ties with Wang Jing and many powerful people in the Goryeo Kingdom.

According to Tuo Junjing, that is, as long as these people can pull up a group of people, no matter how many people there are, these people will belong to that person, and then they will be crowned officials according to the number of people under them.

I have to say that this method is still very tempting for a considerable number of people, after all, they are in the army, although some people are not low-status, but for various reasons, they do not have much power under their hands, let alone how many people they command.

After all, almost all of Tuo Junjing's soldiers and horses are in the hands of his henchmen and generals, and it is conceivable what kind of treatment those generals from the sons of powerful people have.

But now that Tuo Junjing's order came out, I don't know how many generals who were born in the sons of powerful people had their eyes lit up, according to Tuo Junjing's order, wouldn't it mean that how many people and horses they had, then how many men and horses they would have.

Maybe they can't pull thousands of troops, but with the family power behind them, they dare not say that hundreds of thousands of people are really not a problem.

Not to mention the others, under these powerful people, which family does not have tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, not to mention that there are thousands of tenants attached to them, as long as they are willing, they can easily draw out hundreds or thousands of young and strong.

Sun Cheng, as a representative figure of the sons and daughters of the powerful, and the family behind him is a powerful family that Wang Jing can count, looking at Tuo Junjing and saying: "What the chief manager said is true, no matter how many people we bring in, they will be under our command?" ”

Tuo Junjing bowed his head slightly and said: "This commander will do what he says, as long as you have the ability, even if you bring tens of thousands of troops, then these tens of thousands of horses will also belong to you." ”

Sun Cheng laughed and said, "In that case, the chief manager is waiting for our news." ”

Soon the whole Goryeo was shaken by Tuo Junjing's order, that is, Li Ziqian, who was in charge of Wang Jing, was a little surprised when he got the news, obviously he didn't expect Tuo Junjing to give such an order, but he had to admit that this order would greatly enhance the power of those powerful families in the long run, but for now, it was a very effective means.

With the help of the power of these powerful families, it is really not difficult to gather 200,000 horses.

While Goryeo was running up and down here, the tens of thousands of troops led by Chu Yi were galloping across the vast land.

Even though it was tens of thousands of cavalry and the marching speed was extremely fast, it was not possible to cross thousands of miles to reach Goryeo in a few days.

After all, it was only a year or two for the Great Song Dynasty to incorporate this piece of land into the territory, and this piece of land has been out of the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years, and it is naturally not so simple to win people's hearts for a while.

There are even many places where there are still remnants of Dajin who are secretly making waves, and this time, tens of thousands of troops have passed everywhere, and all the people with ill intentions have been suppressed, and even many people have directly rested the thoughts in their hearts, and have been honest and obedient to the people since then.

At the end of April of the fourth year of Shaoxing in the Great Song Dynasty, in nearly a month's time, tens of thousands of troops finally crossed thousands of miles and arrived at the Guining Road, which was newly established in the northeast of the Great Song Dynasty, where the Changming Mansion was located, Changzhou.

Changju is the most marginal state adjacent to Goryeo, and the reason why Changmyeongfu was chosen in Changju was precisely because of the nearby defense of Goryeo.

It's just that after all, the land of Changzhou has just been incorporated into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty for a short time, and the power of the Changzhou government as the seat of the Changming Mansion is very weak.

As a soldier and horse envoy of a state, there are less than 500 soldiers and horses under his command, and there are even fewer people and horses in the counties under Changming Mansion, just like Yongning County, when it was attacked by the Koreans, the head of Yongning County was full of soldiers and horses, and there were only more than 100 people in the county government.

At this time, Mao Angzheng, the governor of Changzhou, led his officials to stand in front of the city gate and looked at the official road from afar, which was rugged and overwhelmed, obviously because of disrepair.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Look, it's coming, the army is coming." ”

Many officials couldn't help but show surprise on their faces when they saw the billowing smoke and dust in the distance of the dark road, it was really too difficult, they were sent here as officials, they thought it was a poor beauty, but they never thought that the conditions here were so poor, of course, from scratch to establish a state yamen, many officials still have a sense of achievement.

But what made them feel uneasy was that Goryeo from the north actually invaded the county town under their rule from time to time, and it was said that in this case, they should send soldiers and horses to counterattack, but it was a pity that their men could mobilize less than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and it was a problem to protect themselves, so how could they fight back against Goryeo.

Many officials were worried that when they woke up, the Goryeo army would already be in the city, but now looking at the smoke and dust in the distance, everyone was completely relieved.

The murderous name of the chief manager Chu Yi, no one knows, no one knows, and he led the army to destroy the three major powers of Dajin, Western Xia, and Tubo.

Thinking that they would be able to sleep peacefully from now on, many officials couldn't help but show anticipation in their eyes when they looked at the army above the official road.

They are not qualified to meet Chu Yi, so no one has seen Chu Yi at all, but now they have the opportunity to see the true face of Chu Yi Lushan, it is conceivable that these people are still quite looking forward to it.

Just as these people looked at the group of men and horses galloping on the official road with anticipation, they saw that the leader of the general suddenly tightened the reins in his hand, and the war horse neighed and jumped more than a foot high, only to frighten many officials to exclaim.

Gao Zhong saw the reaction of these officials,

They are not qualified to meet Chu Yi, so no one has seen Chu Yi at all, but now they have the opportunity to see the true face of Chu Yi Lushan, it is conceivable that these people are still quite looking forward to it.

Just as these people looked at the group of men and horses galloping on the official road with anticipation, they saw that the leader of the general suddenly tightened the reins in his hand, and the war horse neighed and jumped more than a foot high, only to frighten many officials to exclaim. The war horse neighed and jumped more than a foot high, only to exclaim in fright.
