The Song army arrived in Shangjing three days later, and Fan Ning saw that Shangjing was extremely tall and strong, so he suggested to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, although we have destroyed Tokyo and Zhongjing, Weichen suggests that Shangjing should be retained as a bridgehead for the Great Song Dynasty to defend the grassland, just like the Tang Dynasty built three surrendered cities in Yinshan Mountain. ”

Fu Bi next to him also smiled: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is right, this city is so strong, it's a pity to demolish it, you can tear down the forbidden palace and keep the city as the military city of the Great Song Dynasty on the grassland." ”

Zhao Ji nodded happily and said, "The two Aiqing have said that they have gone to my heart, and they will deal with it according to Fu Xianggong's proposal." ”

At this time, a left-behind official of the Liao State came to ask for a meeting, and Zhao Ji asked about some information, and there were less than a thousand people in the city, all of whom were old people who did not want to leave their homeland, and there was no one else.

Zhao Ji looked at the city wall, and was quite interested in his heart, so he said to Fan Ning: "I want to go to the city to have a look, Fan Aiqing can accompany me for a walk." ”

"Obey the order!"

Hundreds of guards surrounded Zhao Ji and Fanning as they went up to the city, and they stood far away, protected in a semicircle.

Fanning pointed to the city and said, "It was at that position that Yelu Hongji was shot by a crossbow arrow, and finally lost his life. ”

Zhao Ji sighed and said: "I don't know what to say about Yelu Hongji, he was indeed wise and martial in the early days, and brought the national strength of the Liao State to the peak, but he was a bit like Li Longji, who made the Tang Dynasty prosperous and declined, Yelu Hongji indulged in worshipping Buddha, extravagant, extravagant, and profligate, plus he reused traitors, and killed too many loyal ministers and good generals in the Chongyuan Rebellion, can Liao Guoyan be undefeated?" ”

"Your Majesty, the decline of the Liao State is actually due to its small population, and the core population is not enough to support such a vast land, and there will be alien alien hearts like Naiman, Lieshan, and Jurchen, Yelu Hongji also realized this problem, so he wanted to invade the Great Song Dynasty in the south, occupy Hebei and Hedong, and enhance the support of national strength, but it is a pity that it ........"

"It's a pity that he met the Taishi!"

Zhao Ji glanced at Fan Ning and said with a slight smile: "I have already made an order before I set out on the expedition to officially canonize Beidao as the Kingdom of Chu, which is the farthest southern border of the Great Song Dynasty, and I also want to take a look!" ”

"Your Majesty wants to go, there will definitely be a chance."

Zhao Ji suddenly smiled and said, "The North Island is very close to the South Continent!" ”

Fanning nodded, "It's a bit similar to the distance from Quanzhou to Luzon, you can reach it in five days by a 3,000-stone clipper." ”

"If I ask Aiqing to help govern the Southern Continent, Aiqing won't object!"

Fanning was stunned, "Your Majesty! ”

Zhao Ji smiled slightly: "Aiqing is a pillar of the Great Song Dynasty, it's a pity to give up, but I have already agreed, how can I go back, so I have repeatedly considered, Aiqing can not only take care of Beidao but also contribute to the imperial court, the best way is to let Aiqing also take charge of the Southern Continent." ”

Fan Ning smiled bitterly in his heart, "Zhao Ji is not unwilling to let himself leave happily, but he still wants to let himself have something to do with the imperial court." ”

He had to sigh and say, "I am willing to share your majesty's worries!" ”

Zhao Ji was overjoyed, as long as Fan Ning was still a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, when the Great Song Dynasty encountered difficulties, he was not afraid that he would not come to contribute.

"Good! I have officially appointed you as the pacification envoy of the Southern Continent Province and the governor of the Southern Continent Province, and I hope that you will live up to my hopes and make the Southern Continent a fertile land for the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible. ”

"Wechen obeys!"

At this time, a soldier rushed over, knelt down on one knee and said, "Marshal Qiyu, Liaoyang Mansion is in urgent military situation!" ”

Fan Ning was stunned, at this time, what kind of military situation will Liaoyang Mansion have? He took the information and looked at it carefully, and a trace of anger flashed in a serious moment.

Zhao Ji saw that Fan Ning's expression was different, so he asked, "What happened?" ”

Fan Ning handed the information to Zhao Ji and said, "A Goryeo army of 50,000 people escorted hundreds of thousands of Bohai people across the Yalu River to the former land of the Bohai Kingdom. ”

Zhao Ji was furious, "What is Gao Li doing, taking the opportunity to grab the land?" ”

Fan Ning said in a deep voice: "The contradiction between Goryeo and Liao has been a long time, and there have been many wars between the two sides, the root of which is that when the Khitan destroyed the Bohai State, a large number of Bohai nobles fled to Goryeo, and they wanted to restore the country, and Goryeo wanted to use their request for restoration and wanted to expand the territory to the northeast, and the Liao State also fought-for-tat, not giving them a chance, this time the Liao State was destroyed, and Goryeo estimated that he wanted to occupy this land while we did not know about the Bohai homeland." ”

"Their excuse is the restoration of the Bohai Sea?"

"It should be!"

Zhao Ji took a deep breath, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes, "How many soldiers did the Song army die before they captured Liaodong, and they thought that they could occupy half of the land by saying a few good words?" ”

"Your Majesty, the people of the Bohai Kingdom will let them go first, it's really not good, it's okay to move them overseas, but for scoundrels like Goryeo, they have to be beaten hard, just like Tanzhou, and they will be beaten, so that he will not dare to have delusions again."

Zhao Ji nodded: "Then with Aiqing's intentions, how should we deal with it?" ”

"If Weichen didn't guess wrong, Goryeo would inevitably send an envoy over, Your Majesty stabilized the envoy and bought time, Weichen used the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and led an army of 100,000 to attack Goryeo Kaijing from the sea and force them to return to save the capital."

Zhao Ji groaned and said, "Is 100,000 troops too little?" ”

"Your Majesty, the 100,000 army is the first batch, and once the army has gained a foothold in Goryeo, the second batch of 100,000 troops will come."

"What about the supplies?"

"Your Majesty has forgotten the island of Mimi? The food and supplies we have stored on Minmi Island are enough to support us in this war. ”

Zhao Ji nodded, he still had to accept the worship of the grassland tribes in Shangjing, and he couldn't be separated, so he could only entrust Fan Ning to teach Goryeo a lesson for him.

Fanning then led 100,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry to the shores of the Bohai Sea to prepare for a surprise attack on Goryeo.

...........

Goryeo's action was sudden, but it was also an inevitability, and the Goryeo people had coveted the Bohai homeland for a long time, and for this reason, there were three wars with the Liao State.

And this time the Liao State was destroyed, Goryeo saw an opportunity, and took advantage of the fact that the Song Dynasty was not familiar with the situation in Liaodong to move hundreds of thousands of Bohai people in the territory and restore the country again, forming a fait accompli.

The newly restored Balhae nobles were almost all puppets of Goryeo, and the newly restored Balhae Kingdom must also be vassals of the Goryeo people, and it will be incorporated into Goryeo in a few years.

The Son of Goryeo, who is currently Wang Hui, sent envoys to the Song Dynasty several times and established good relations with Song Shenzong.

He is nearly sixty years old, and he has always been cautious, this time sending troops to escort hundreds of thousands of Bohai people to the hometown of Bohai State, in fact, it was not his original intention, he originally wanted to discuss with the Song Dynasty court first, and then send the Bohai people over after getting the consent of the Song Dynasty.

But the crown prince Wang Xun and the powerful minister Li Ziyuan are opposed, their reasons are also very sufficient, the Bohai army has always followed the Khitan and Song armies to fight, and now that the Liao State has been destroyed, how can the Song Dynasty allow the restoration of the Bohai State, not to mention that the hundreds of thousands of Bohai people who founded the country have a very close relationship with Goryeo, and the Song Dynasty will not agree.

If it is rejected and then the country is built, it is not good, it is better to make raw rice into mature rice first, unless the Song Dynasty exterminated hundreds of thousands of Bohai people, otherwise they can only accept the facts.

Wang Hui finally accepted Li Ziyuan's plan and sent troops to escort hundreds of thousands of Bohai people to their homeland so that they could re-establish the state there.

It is nothing more than that the Bohai Kingdom was destroyed by the violent Liao, 100,000 people escaped the Yalu River, multiplied, more than five generations, and the number has reached 500,000 people, but they have been looking at the homeland for a hundred years and crying, at this time the Liao State has been destroyed, hundreds of thousands of people miss the homeland day and night, crying blood many times, the minister can't bear to waste his family, so he allowed them to leave the Liao country, hoping that His Majesty will treat them leniently and favorably, etc.

He tried to obfuscate the facts to gain the benevolence of the Song Dynasty's emperor, so as to realize Liao's attempt to annex the Bohai State.
