General Wu Zhong, who prides himself on not being afraid of anything, feels that he is about to die, and it is not a big deal to take a boat on the Yangtze River, so why can't he do it directly at sea? If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't come far from Dengzhou, Wu Zhong felt that he might not be able to go ashore alive.

Wu Zhong was also unlucky, and the sea march happened to encounter a storm.

The horses of the cavalry either fell into the sea or died, and only the particularly strong survived, and only 3,000 of the 20,000 cavalry were left, and the cavalry could only be converted into infantry.

Wu Zhong neither directly marched into Pyongyang, nor did he go south to attack Kaijing, where he landed, Wu Zhong felt that the terrain was good, and the population was not large, so he directly chose a dangerous location to set up a village, repair the army, and wait for the follow-up materials and war horses to be sent, and he did not have the heart to open up the wasteland to appease the people, which was Li Ziyang's business.

When Wu Zhong felt that he had almost recovered, he immediately took 3,000 cavalry to loot everywhere, robbing people and villages, not to mention grain, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and robbing gold, silver, jewelry, and beauties, without the demeanor of the Heavenly Empire. Now the people here are not His Highness's people, and Wu Zhong has no scruples.

The most important thing is that Lin Jianyue has explained that outside of this Han land, you must be ruthless first, and then give benefits to Huairou, which is conducive to the advancement of Wang Hua.

How to deter is also particular, people can't kill indiscriminately, but they can't not not kill, such as killing people with fat brains, killing high-ranking officials and nobles, and killing bandits and landlords, don't expect the upper echelons and vested interests of the Goryeo royal dynasty to support Lin Jianyue's overseas expansion policy, what you want is to push your strength flat.

Wu Zhong found that there were not many Han people in Goryeo, most of them were merchants, and it is estimated that there were slightly more near Pyongyang in the north, because it was the place where Pu Jinzhong had been operating for many years, and because the Khitans, Jurchens, and now the Monhu people have been oppressive and plundering Goryeo, most of the original Goryeo subjects have moved south, and Pyongyang is a war-torn area.

Wu Zhong was very disappointed, the Goryeo women he had seen in Yangzhou were gentle, obedient and beautiful, why had they run for more than 100 miles, and there were few who could look at them? It is completely impossible to send it back to the Central Plains to make a sycophant.

Wu Zhong didn't know that the place where he landed was the closest to the Central Plains, the place that the Han pirates had been frequented for a long time, although the place was good, there was no big city with a concentrated population within a radius of more than 100 miles, the population was sparse, and those who had the means moved away.

Wu Zhong has reached Dingxi City as far as possible, Dingxi City is big, the people of the Enemy Intelligence Division say that it is still relatively prosperous, and there are many people, but the city wall is tall, the defense is good, and the defenders are tens of thousands, even if there is an internal response of the Enemy Intelligence Division, but when they first arrived, there are not many people, and the strength is not large, and now they only contact some Han people who do business.

Wu Zhong knew that his current strength could not defeat Xicheng.

Forget it, let's implement His Highness's northward expansion strategy first! It is more important to control Pu Jinzhong first and turn over Li Chongshan.

It's just that the change in the situation is involuntary, Wu Zhong was not ready to go south, and Wang Jian, the lord of Goryeo, sent troops to the north instead.

Goryeo did not fight with the regular troops of the Ning Dynasty, because it had not bordered since the establishment of the Ning Dynasty, but it had fought with the Khitans and the Jurchens, although it still lost in the end, but in the process, there were also back and forth, and even won big victories, unlike the Ning Dynasty, which did not achieve any decent victories.

Since the Khitan people established the Liao State, in order to survive, Goryeo and the Ning Dynasty have established an alliance, but unfortunately in addition to getting some resources, there is no other decisive help, more than 100 years of contact, the shadow left by the Tang Jin Ge Iron Horse gradually disappeared, and there are some cowardice that looks down on the Ning Dynasty army.

Wang Jian knew that there was a great King Yan in the Central Plains, and he also knew that Pu Jinzhong, who he was a little afraid of, was driven over by King Yan, but since Lin Jianyue got the Dinghai Navy, he blocked Goryeo, and Wang Jian didn't know that the army that came over under the banner of the Ning Dynasty this time was King Yan's subordinates.

The first batch of Wuzhong troops to arrive in Goryeo was only more than 20,000 people, and there was such a big movement suddenly in his own land, how could Wang Jian not get the news?

What does Ning Chao mean by this? Anyway, he used to be an ally, even if he doesn't care much now, isn't that Hu Ren powerful! Didn't you run away yourself! Pu Jinzhong didn't feel embarrassed when he came over, did he feel like he was a bully?

Wang Jian is still a relatively good lord, and immediately summoned the ministers of the three provinces and powerful leading generals to discuss countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, Pu Jinzhong used to be the leading general of the Ning Dynasty before, and he was squeezed by the Yan King of the Central Plains to come here, and the minister has already said that he should be killed, otherwise there will be trouble, isn't it trouble now?"

It was Wang Qin, the minister of internal history, who spoke, Wang Jian's own uncle, the core figure who maintained the royal power, and his power was not small, otherwise how could Wang Jian make him the most powerful internal envoy? It's all about balance. Goryeo does not have a nominal feudal town, but in fact there are many people who have different ideas about their own affairs, including Wang Qin. If it weren't for the tens of thousands of imperial forest troops in Kaijing, Daru Huachi of Menghu Liaoyang Prefecture was eyeing Goryeo and foreign enemies were pressing the border, and Goryeo would not be so calm now.

"Your Excellency, someone has to help us explore the road and block the knife first! Pyongyang, we have also given up for so many years, what does it matter if we hand it over to Pu Jinzhong for the time being? He has experience in beating the Mongols. Besides, there is still our army watching in Tieling. Wang, in the opinion of the ministers, those people from the Ning Dynasty who came from the west should not have been all the way with Pu Jinzhong, otherwise why didn't they go north to converge, but tossed around in the poor countryside? Maybe they escaped the sea. The minister suggested that it would be better to support Dingxi City with some men and horses, and send Li Zhensheng to test it. ”

This time, it was Li Zhenhui, the governor of the Third Division and the secretary of the Ministry of War, who had always been at odds with Wang Qin and fought fiercely for power.

Li Zhenhui has a good relationship with Pu Jinzhong, he has dealt with a lot in the past, and he has also accepted a lot of money and beauties, of course, these are not important, Li Zhenhui needs to borrow Pu Jinzhong's strength, he has the ambition to replace the Wang family to establish the Li family dynasty, and Pu Jinzhong is a hit.

With Pu Jinzhong here, Li Zhenhui knew who came this time, but he wouldn't say it, he just wanted to borrow the hand of the famous Yan King Lin Jianyue to weaken the disobedient forces, and also see what was extraordinary about Lin Jianyue, the Yan King who was defeated and retreated by the Megatron world.

Dingxi City is not far from Beijing, the threat is not small, the city lord Li Zhensheng is obviously more inclined to Wang Qin, just let him try the truth, no matter how victory or defeat is beneficial.

"The king can't, since there are people from the Ning Dynasty, there must be a purpose, it is better to send a messenger to ask them what they mean before it is too late, if you start a war, in case it turns into a war between the two countries, the gains outweigh the losses." Wang Qin wouldn't be so stupid.

"Everyone has come to the door of the house and rode to the neck, where is the glory of Taizu? Where to place the dignity of the 400-year-old dynasty? "Li Zhenhui is righteous and oppressive.

Wang Jian stood up, Wang Qin and Li Zhenhui immediately kept silent, here in Kaijing, it is still Wang Jian who has the final say.

"Nanjing and Annan City each transferred 10,000 horses to support Li Zhensheng, their foothold is not stable, it is better to try it first, Li Shangshu sent a letter to Pu Jinzhong, and asked him what he meant, how to say that he is also a general canonized by the kingdom, and he has been in Pyongyang for so long, so he has to contribute!"

Nanjing and Annam are each within the actual control of Wang Qin and Li Zhenhui, and no one wants to stay out of the matter, Wang Jian also wants to weaken their power, Li Zhensheng is Wang Qin's person on the surface, but in fact he is his own person, and he just uses this opportunity to expand Li Zhensheng's power.
