Chapter 795: Convincing Zheng Toe (Gagen)
"Hehe, Lord Zheng is so smart, he should know that he came to you Lord Zheng, of course, he wanted to make Cheng Cheng our Dragon Heavenly King."
"Surrender? That's impossible. Zheng Toe quickly shook his head. Although Goryeo seems to be dangerous now, it is not impossible to do anything at all.
For example, didn't the Liao State send an envoy? Even if it is for its own interests, the Liao State does not want to see Su Shi annex the whole of Goryeo, once Su Shi completes the unification, it will only be harmful to the Liao State.
In other words, the Liao State will mediate first, but once Su Shi is stubborn, then the Liao State will not rule out the possibility of sending troops.
Although Su Shi is strong, it is still not enough to see in the face of the behemoth of Liao. This is the opportunity for Goryeo to develop.
Even if he has seen the opportunity, how could Zheng Toe surrender Su Shi at this time. He didn't do that before when there was no foreign help, and now he can't make a similar choice.
"Nothing is impossible. Lord Zheng wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that the Liao Kingdom could save the current Goryeo, right? Meng Youde smiled and chatted with Zheng Toe.
His order was to convince Zheng Toe to be used by the Dragon Kingdom. Zheng Toe still has some ability, and in history, it was he who fully cooperated with Wenzong to govern the country, so that Goryeo reached unprecedented prosperity.
With such a talent, Su Shi naturally wants to fight for it. Besides, Zheng Toe is a real Goryeo and has a lot of influence here, if he can use it for himself, this will also play a positive role in Su Shi's efforts to win the hearts of the entire Goryeo people.
Of course, the order is not absolute, Su Shi also said, if this Zheng Toe really doesn't know each other, then kill it.
That is, if you can't use it for yourself, you must kill it, otherwise such a talent will become a great resistance if it falls into the hands of the opponent.
"Why can't it be saved? Hehe, Mr. Meng, do you think that with the current strength of the Dragon Heavenly King, you can still defeat the Liao Kingdom? Zheng Toe also laughed, and appropriately expressed his opinions, which also proved his ability, and believed that Meng Youde would not kill himself because of his rebuttal.
For this rhetorical question, Meng Youde really didn't get angry. Yes, the Liao State is now a vast country, and it is not difficult for them to send a large army to defeat them, but it is really difficult to annex them.
Especially for Su Shi, which is not yet completely stable, it is tantamount to a snake swallowing an elephant to do this in a short period of time.
But if the Liao State wants to rescue Goryeo, it is also more difficult. After Meng Youde smiled, he asked rhetorically without being angry,
"Then may I ask Lord Zheng, between the Liao Kingdom and Goryeo, but there is our Dragon Heavenly King, when do you think the army of the Liao Kingdom will be able to reach here?" This is what Zheng Toe is most worried about.
The Liao State is strong, but it is too far away from Jinju, and if you send troops, you need to pass through the territory of Sushi, which is undoubtedly very difficult.
In the past, it was possible to find a sea route, but since the Dragon Kingdom Navy defeated Fuso's reinforcements at sea, the sea route has also been blocked.
Seeing that Meng Youde saw the crux of the matter, Zheng Toe was anxious, but he said unadmittedly,
"So what, even if there are no reinforcements, as long as the Liao State speaks, can the Dragon Heavenly King still ignore them and really send troops to Jinzhou?"
"Oh, Lord Zheng wants to ask us if the Dragon Heavenly King has such guts. Hehe, I'm sorry, although our dragon army is not many in number, but there is a kind, we are never afraid of any enemy threat. Even if the Liao Kingdom, Zhao Song, Western Xia, Mengdi, including Fusang, etc., are all enemies of us, our Dragon Heavenly King's eyelids will not wrinkle, what should be done, will be done, believe it or not? Meng Youde still had a smile on his face, but when he spoke, he was very imposing, and he really didn't take other people in his eyes like that.
Hearing this, Zheng Toe's face naturally changed, and what he was most afraid of was such a result.
It's just that he has been suspicious, betting that Su Shi didn't have such courage, but now it seems that he made a mistake.
Seeing that Zheng Toe stopped talking, Meng Youde chuckled and said: "Lord Zheng, don't hide it, our Dragon Heavenly King has long foreseen the interference of the Liao Congress, so our Dragon Army has long begun to secretly Chen soldiers in the border area with Liao, it's okay if the Liao Army doesn't come, if they dare to come, they will definitely give them a good look, and when it really comes to that time, it will be equivalent to the Liao State taking the initiative to tear up the peace covenant with our Dragon Army, so that we have a righteous and bright reason to enter the Liao State." And it won't be long before the Liao Kingdom will be like Goryeo, one of the territories in the hands of our Dragon Heavenly King. β
"What? You still want to annex Liao? Hearing this, Zheng Toe became very surprised, and his face was now full of disbelief.
"Why not? If you had put it more than a year ago, would anyone have thought that we could annex Goryeo with only about 10,000 people? But now, haven't we done it? Meng Youde continued to smile, but his face was full of confidence.
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Toe fell silent again. Yes, Su Shi is not only bold and courageous, but the key is that people do have such strength.
It took more than a year to force Goryeo to this point. I think more than a year ago, Goryeo had never looked at Su Shi with a straight eye.
Even if it can take more than a year to annex the whole of Goryeo, why can't it annex Liao? Thinking of the terrifying combat power of the Dragon Army, Zheng Toe suddenly thought that this was not an impossible task.
Zheng Toe didn't speak, and there was no rebuttal, it was Meng Youde's turn to continue to persuade: "Lord Zheng, our Dragon Heavenly King admires your ability very much, and is willing to entrust it to you. β
"And in comparison, isn't our Dragon Heavenly King wiser and more capable than Wen Zong? If you really want to do something big, our Dragon Heavenly King is much stronger than Zhi Wenzong, wouldn't it be a better place to take refuge? I really don't know what else you're hesitating about? β
"But the Dragon Heavenly King is Han, we are Goryeo, we have our own ancestors..."Zheng Toe's words were only halfway through, and he was directly interrupted by Meng Youde: "Okay, your ancestors are our Han people, your ancestors have long admitted this, just because of the arrogance of some of you, you have to distort the facts, and now it is just a matter of re-recognizing your ancestors and returning to your ancestors." β
"Besides, there will be no Goryeo in this world in the future, and some will all be Han people, if they are not Han people, they will just be killed. Master Zheng, you can make a choice between death and life. By the way, there's not much time for you to think about it. Meng Youde just said this, a voice came from the headset, and then he saw him and said: "Okay, I know, I will end here soon, and we will see you at the north city gate." β
"Who are you talking to?" Zheng Toe, who was shocked by Meng Youde's commotion, couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Oh, I forgot to tell Master Zheng, you can call this thing Wanlitong, with this thing, you can contact and talk to people within ten thousand miles at any time. Hehe, this is just one of the methods of our Dragon Heavenly King. Meng Youde, who said this with a smile, suddenly said as if he remembered something: "By the way, Lord Zheng, I forgot to tell you, it's the news I got just now, your Wenzong has been taken away by the people we sent, and now you should be almost at the North City Gate, that is to say, from now on, you Goryeo are already leaderless." Lord Zheng, the situation is like this, why don't you make a right choice quickly? β
"The king has been taken away, how is this possible?" Zheng Toe shook his head in disbelief. Wenzong is in the palace, and he will not leave the palace easily.
There are thousands of elite Goryeo palace guards, if someone really breaks in, they can definitely resist for a while, and as long as there is a problem there, there are still 70,000 Goryeo troops in the city will immediately give reinforcements, so how can the king under the protection of layers say that he will be taken away by others?
Zheng Toe didn't believe it, and Meng Youde didn't mean to force him to believe it, but said: "In this case, let's make a bet, and now I ask Lord Zheng to follow me to the front of the North City Gate, if you can't see the captured Wenzong there, I will let you leave immediately." But if you see Wenzong, you will surrender to our Dragon Heavenly King, okay? β
"The North Gate? The Lee clan surrendered to you? Zheng Toe was really smart, and he thought of a certain possibility in an instant.
"That's right." At this time, Meng Youde did not have the need to hide it, so he nodded and admitted.
Meng Youde's honesty made Zheng Toe also nod,
"Thank you for telling me the truth. Okay, then the official will take a gamble on Mr. Meng, if we Wenzong is really arrested by you, then the old man will be lowered, but if not..."
"If not, I will definitely send Lord Zheng back to the house safely, and no one will embarrass Lord Zheng in the future. The promises made by our dragon army will always be kept. β
"Okay." Zheng Toe nodded immediately. In fact, at this time, when Zheng Toe saw Meng Yongde so confident, he already believed seven points.
But knowing that this was the case, he still nodded and agreed, which can only show that he is also ready to surrender to Su Shi.
Zheng is not the only Zheng toe, if he is the only one, he will die, but what about the Zheng family's population?
No one knows that what Zheng Toe really cares about is not Goryeo, but the Zheng family. In history, he assisted King Wenzong for decades, which did make Goryeo strong, but at the same time, the Zheng family also became stronger.
And now that Goryeo has no way out, he has to think about the affairs of the Zheng family.
