Pu Jinzhong read the letter several times, hesitating in his heart, he is not a three-year-old child, and there is no good thing in this world for no reason.

The king of Liaobei County? What is the place in northern Liaobei, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, the population is not large, the climate is cold, and it is all a mixed place of Khitans, Jurchens, and Menghu people, barbaric and poor. Will you be able to stand your ground there? But that's for later, and it's about what to do now.

There is no problem in fighting Tieling, just like Wu Zhong said, even if it is fought, Gao Li can only dare to be angry but dare not speak. It's just that now Li Zhenhui and these people can still help him from time to time and sell him some grain and farm tools, but it will be impossible in the future.

Without the navy, he still has some warships and merchant ships, he can go back to the Central Plains to do business, transfer some of the materials he had accumulated before, and it will not be difficult for him to meet the Ding Navy, but if he doesn't listen to the greetings, let alone Wu Zhong to fight him, even the Ding Navy will definitely blockade him, and nearly 100,000 troops can only starve to death, what is the big cause to talk about?

Can he only be tied to Lin Jianyue's warship and be an honest and loyal minister in the future? However, the loyal ministers were not so easy to do, at least they had to defeat the Menghu army in Liaoyang Prefecture. Even if Wu Zhong advances and retreats, Pu Jinzhong does not have much confidence.

Pu Jinzhong regretted a little, he was too arrogant when he was in the Central Plains, and if he learned the practice of Liangzhelu near the mountains, he wouldn't need to eat snow every day in this place where birds don't.

is still too conceited, thinking that if he stays away from Lin Jianyue, he can make a career without constraints, but he didn't expect that he couldn't do it even if he was rich, and basically no Han people were willing to leave their homeland to come to Goryeo to attach themselves to him. No one, whether it is to strengthen the army or control the place, is exhausted, even the Han people who came with him have already fled.

It turned out that without Lin Jianyue's manpower and material support from the Central Plains, nothing could be done, and it was not easy to reach today's point, which was still the premise that Lin Jianyue did not make difficulties.

The more he thought about it, the more Pu Jinzhong felt that there was no choice. Pu Jinzhong was ruthless, and invited the commander sent by the Zhenfu Division to his army, first gave a large pile of gold, silver and jewelry, which expressed his apologies for being snubbed some time ago, and then respectfully handed over a letter to His Royal Highness King Yan.

The letter did not say anything else, that is, to express the meaning of loyalty and submission, obey the command in all actions, resolutely refuse the reward of the king of Liaobei County in the future, and be willing to be an ordinary courtier.

Then Pu Jinzhong immediately attacked with his whole army, and without even waiting for the grain and grass supplies promised by Wu Zhong to arrive, he captured Tieling in the summer of Daning 248, and all the Goryeo troops north of Kaiyang retreated to the south, so that all the Goryeo territories south of the Yalu River and north of Kaiyang were under Lin Jianyue's control.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Liu, it seems that this Marshal Pu Jinzhong is still very courageous, and he knows the way to advance and retreat. Now that people have an attitude, we can't be too mean. The Khitan Jurchen Sun Zhengyi who was captured after the Great War in the Central Plains has trained more than 80,000 people, and he can't support them! Isn't this a fight back to my hometown? There should be this desire and fighting spirit, I specially sent people to see it, and they basically accepted us and preferred to be Han Chinese, their original identity played a big role in pacifying Liaodong. The Yellow River can't be crossed for the time being, and Goryeo can still do it, so he allocated 50,000 people to Pu Jinzhong, replenished grain, grass, weapons and armor, 10,000 war horses, and merged Pu Jinzhong's original subordinates to form a new army, which can be ordered to be the Liaodong Army, canonized Pu Jinzhong as the general of Dingbei, and the Liaodong Army is under control. ”

"Your Highness is wise! At this time, the Liaodong Army has a strength of nearly 150,000, and it can also form tens of thousands of cavalry, even if it can't defeat the Menghu cavalry in Liaoyang Prefecture, relying on the natural hazards of the Yalu River and the favorable terrain of the mountainous areas in the north of Goryeo, there is still more than enough to defend. However, the military system of the Liaodong Army cannot do its own thing, and it is necessary to follow our rules to set up a sub-division of the Enemy Intelligence Division of the Department of Suppression and Pacification, and the positions of Liaodong Army Commander History, Senate, and Army Membership need to be re-assigned, and local government affairs can be handed over to Li Ziyang for unified jurisdiction. ”

Liu Bingyun's precautionary mentality, as always, is also due.

Lin Jianyue said with a smile: "Dashuai Pu is also a person who has been in charge of the army for many years, how can he not understand the truth?" has already taken the initiative to propose, Mr. Liu will do what you want! In addition, in the past, Pu Jinzhong was a little hungry and did not choose to eat, and he gathered many Goryeo people in the army, and the hidden danger was not small. ”

Wang Gui sighed: "The Ning Dynasty has been thinking about things for hundreds of years, but I didn't expect it to be realized in the hands of His Highness so soon, I don't know if the ancestors of Ning Zexun will be so angry that they will jump up from the ground and angrily scold their unfilial descendants for not being angry." ”

"It can't be said that the Ning Dynasty did lose the face of the Han people in the face of foreign enemies, but the economy and people's livelihood have developed very well for hundreds of years, and there are overseas trade wharves in Panyu on Guangnan East Road, so that people outside the country know the prosperity of our central place, and also let us know the size of the world, which can be said to have reached the peak of thousands of years in this regard, otherwise I can't afford to raise this army of millions. Not to mention, even if it is to attack Goryeo, the daily cost makes me frightened, if there is no support from the prosperous Jiangnan, I don't dare to do this now. ”

"His Royal Highness is still a man of destiny, wise and martial, in order to unite people's hearts."

"Lord Wang doesn't have to be humble, I still know how capable I am, without the full assistance of the princes, I, Lin Jianyue, would be just a feudal town at most."

After the sycophant shooting, Wang Gui still has to continue to talk about business.

"The Liaodong Army is established, and there are two independent armies in Goryeo, and to deal with the Hu people in Liaoyang Prefecture, the two armies need to be united, and I heard that the people of the enemy's intelligence department said that Li Chongshan transferred tens of thousands of people out of the pass to Liaodong, and obviously knew about Goryeo's movements. I wonder if another prestigious minister and general should be sent over to take unified command? "Wang Gui is a little unconvinced, and wants to make different feats in this prosperous tide, and there are countless precedents of this in the Ning Dynasty before.

Lin Jianyue understood what Wang Gui meant, but the waves on the sea were high and the wind was strong, the weather in the north was cold, Wang Guidu was in his 60s and almost 70, and if one was not good, he would be thrown there. Although internal affairs are on the right track, Lin Jianyue still feels that it is better for Wang Gui to stay in the center.

"It's appropriate for me to go in person in this case, but I know you won't agree. Mr. Wang is also suitable, but you are used to staying in the south of the Yangtze River, which is different from Luoyang, in winter, it is young and strong, and there will be accidents if you are not careful, and the material conditions are not good, of course, these are not important and can be solved by finding a way, but there is no Lord Wang in the rear, I am not at ease, at the beginning of the decisive battle, I must also go north, and I need to be an old and serious minister like Mr. Wang. ”

Still want to hold a handful, Lin Jianyue continued: "Since you have used Pu Jinzhong, you must believe in Pu Jinzhong, as a marshal for many years, the experience and vision of the battle array are definitely much stronger than Wu Zhong, I think Pu Jinzhong should know how to grasp the proportions, some opportunities can be once or twice, but there will never be a third time." Liaodong Goryeo will unify Pu Jinzhong in the military and let Pu Jinzhong be the master, and I will send a letter to Wu Zhong, and explain clearly what should be heard and what should not be heard. In addition, Mr. Liu Zhiyong has recently made many meritorious deeds, which can make him the governor of Goryeo and the commander of the Liaodong Army. ”
