Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 616 See you in Bianjing!
Goryeo opened outside the capital.

Brother Yeluxiu, the most watched up-and-comer in Khitan, frowned as he looked at the Koryo capital built on the mountainside.

During this conquest, he found that Goryeo's use of tactics and tactics, as well as the combat effectiveness of soldiers, can be said to be useless.

Not to mention the team formed by Khitans and Jurchens under his command, even the weakest Bohai Navy has a stronger desire to fight than the Goryeo soldiers.

It's just that the Koreans are really good at fortification and defense.

Their Pyongyang city, and Kaijing in front of them, are smelly and hard.

Brother Yeluxiu didn't dare to let go of his hands and feet to fight, worried that the casualties would be too large, which would not be conducive to the future battle with the Central Plains.

With his hands and feet bound, Brother Yeluxiu forcibly built more than [-] catapults by relying on the drawings of catapults looted from the Central Plains, and bombarded Pyongyang day and night, smashing a gap. The city of Pyongyang was captured.

The defense of the capital city is no less than that of Pyongyang, Yeluxiu couldn't help having a headache when he thought that it would take another half a year to destroy it.

"Is there any way to earn this capital?"

Brother Yeluxiu muttered softly.

At this moment, I heard someone calling myself.

"Sunning!"

Brother Yeluxiu looked for his reputation, but it was his good friend Han Derang, who went up to greet him with great joy, and shouted: "Brother Yao, you came at the right time, help me figure out how to win this Kaesong."

Han Derang's character was Zhiyao, but his Khitan name was Brother Yao in Xingning.

Han Derang's name is Yeluxiu's Chinese character, and Yeluxiu's name is Han Derang's Khitan name, which can be regarded as a special friendship between the two.

Han Derang smiled and said, "Kaicheng may not require us to fight..." Seeing his friend's astonished expression, he said solemnly, "Leave that aside, do you know anything about the situation in Wa Kingdom? How strong are they?"

Brother Yeluxiu immediately replied: "It's hard to say. Their army can be divided into two types. One part is no different from ordinary people and has no fighting power. But the other part is very brave and has terrible fighting power. It is also quite agile, which is eye-catching. However, their national strength is not strong, and some of their soldiers still use bamboo spears? The strange thing is that their forging skills are not bad, and the treasured swords equipped by their generals are even over us."

As he spoke, he handed his saber to Han Derang, and said, "I exchanged this with Master Fujiwara for a good horse."

Han Derang reached out to take the saber, his hand sank slightly, and he pulled out the scabbard. The bright steel saber was breathtaking, and its style was somewhat similar to that of the Tang saber, except that it was slightly curved.

"Good knife!"

Hearing his friend's admiration, Brother Yeluxiu shook his head and said, "It's really a good knife, but it's a pity that it's not practical. The armor of the thieves in the Southern Dynasties became stronger and stronger. It is not conducive to breaking armor. It will suffer a great loss against the thieves of the Southern Dynasty."

Before that, the Khitan had always called the court established by Luo Youdu the Southern Dynasty or the Central Plains in a very elegant manner, indicating that the two dynasties were in opposition.Luo Youdu is also very politely called Nanchao Tianzi or Luo Tianzi.

But Luo Youdu didn't talk about Wude, and never called Khitan by normal names.

Especially for their emperor, they are called Khitan chiefs with contempt.

When this matter reached Yelu Bishe's ears, he was furious.

As a result, all Khitan people are now called Southern Dynasty Bandit or Southern Dynasty Bandit, and Luo Youdu is even called the Southern Dynasty Bandit Chief.

Han Derang pondered for a moment, and said, "I think it's because the place where they are located is not rich enough to equip the whole army."

He paused and said, "With good armaments, can they withstand the army of thieves?"

Brother Yeluxiu was so alert, he immediately understood Han Derang's meaning, nodded and said, "Xunning wants to give Kaesong to Wa Kingdom?"

Han Derang nodded and said: "That's right, the thieves in the Southern Dynasties have always been cunning, but now they have been preparing for a long time, and we have lost the opportunity. You and I know the strength of the thieves. It is really difficult for us alone to resist the Central Plains. Since the Japanese kingdom is not strong enough However, in exchange for opening the city, they will involve the thieves all the way, and there will be no harm. Koryo is a small country, and the only real big cities are Pyongyang and Kaesong. If we occupy Pyongyang and Kaesong in one fell swoop, Japan will definitely feel dissatisfied. They will not fight to the death when the southern thieves divide their troops. They may even sweep away the wealth and withdraw from Korea. The only way is to give them Kaesong, which will gather most of Korea's economy and culture. Whoever wins it will not give it up easily."

Brother Yeluxiu nodded and said: "It makes sense, we have seized a lot of Goryeo's equipment this time. Why don't they send it to the Wa Kingdom as well. They can last for a while, just for a while."

Han Derang was still worried that Brother Yeluxiu would be dissatisfied, but seeing that he was so well aware of the overall situation, he felt relieved, and said: "According to the news from the south, the Southern Dynasty thief chief ordered the expansion of Youzhou City half a year ago, and built Cangcheng is specially used to store grain and salaries. At the same time, it also clears the long-clogged Sui and Tang canals, so that grain from the Central Plains can pass directly to Bianjing by water. They have already made full preparations, and the time will not wait for us."

Brother Yeluxiu thought about it a lot, and said, "I will fight to the death."

Han Derang smiled and said: "It makes sense, my Daliao may not be as good as the Southern Dynasty, but it's not something that thieves can just take." He said here, and bowed deeply: "I'll go to the Wanyan Department to see, and Wanyan Bahai chat. To fight against the southern thieves, Jurchen's strength is indispensable."

Brother Yeluxiu knew that the Jurchen could surrender, Han De gave up a lot, and the Jurchen Department did have a very strong combat power, and said: "Let's go together!"

Under the humility of Brother Yeluxiu and Han Derang, Shifu Fujiwara of the Japanese country quickly led his troops to Kaesong.

The two armies worked together to block the water around Kaesong on three sides.

Kaijing Goryeo Palace.

Wang Zhao stood on a high place, looking at the torches scattered all over the mountains and fields outside the city, his face was ashes.

Behind him are Pu Shouqing, Shihui, Shuangji, Chen Chuyao, Yi Shenzheng, Cai Renfan, Wang Rong, Jiang Gongzhen and others.

"My Koryo foundation is ruined by this!"

Wang Zhao learned that Khitan and Wa had joined forces, and realized that all of Goryeo had fallen except for Kaesong. He was filled with sorrow, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Kaijing was built on the mountain, and the Koryo Palace where they were located was located on the top of the mountain, with a panoramic view of ten miles in all directions.

Today, we saw Khitan and Wa join forces, and the momentum is huge.

At night, tens of thousands of fires are lit at the foot of the mountain, stretching for several miles, and it is estimated that there are as many as tens of thousands.

Goryeo suffered repeated defeats and its morale was devastated. There were less than [-] soldiers in Beijing. Facing an army of tens of thousands, the morale of the army was shaken.

Even the King of Goryeo uttered words of frustration.

Yi Shenzheng's eyes were red, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't be intimidated by the momentum outside the city. Even if the Khitan and Wa kingdoms are combined, it is impossible to gather tens of thousands of troops outside Kaijing City. Such a formation is mostly a bluff. Mess up my army."

The old nobles of Goryeo fought fiercely with Han officials such as Shuangji, Cai Renfan, and Wang Rong, and they were incompatible with each other.

Chen Chuyao and Yi Shenzheng are rising stars, but they are not helping each other, they are located in between.

Originally, their behavior was the most unpleasant.

However, with the invasion of Khitan and Wa, the old nobles of Goryeo and Hanchen needed to fight against the enemy.

Chen Chuyao, Yi Shenzheng, and Si Ni's team formation was particularly important, and they became a bridge connecting the two sides. Their status also increased, and they had already obtained the right to speak first.

A trace of resentment flashed in Shuangji's eyes. He came to Korea to seek an official.After finally becoming Wang Zhao's confidant and persuading him to reuse Han officials, weakening the power of the Goryeo nobles and consolidating the imperial power, Chen Chuyao and Yi Shenzheng took advantage of it.

Pu Shouqing also sternly said: "As the king of Koryo, how can I say such depressing words? I, a Koryo, would rather die than let the barbarians of the North and the Japanese bandits bully me."

As the founder of the country, Park Shouqing, an old official, already has the belief of living and dying with Korea.

Wang Zhao also aroused his blood, and said passionately: "The Prime Minister taught me that I should not be discouraged. I, Gao Li, would rather be broken than whole."

Expressing his attitude, Wang Zhao encouraged the civil and military officials to let them take up their respective positions, but Chen Chuyao was left alone.

"His Majesty!"

Wang Zhao looked at Chen Chuyao, his face was not as excited as before, he was still depressed, and sighed: "I regret that I did not listen to Mr.'s words, so that I fell into this situation."

After the Khitan captured Pyongyang, Chen Chuyao suggested to Wang Zhao that while he was still in control of the sea, he ordered Wang Yu to be sent to the Central Plains to preserve Koryo's flesh and blood for the purpose of restoring the country.

However, Wang Zhao was resentful of the Central Plains' delay in sending troops to rescue, and did not believe that the Central Plains could help him restore the country, so he rejected this suggestion.

Now that the two armies are pressing down on the border, and Koryo is about to be destroyed, the morale of the army is slackened, and I can't help regretting it.

If he had listened to Chen Chuyao's words earlier, even if Luo Youdu hadn't restored the country for Goryeo in the end, at least he could have preserved the blood of Goryeo.

now……

Wang Zhao could only let out a long sigh of regret.

Chen Chuyao didn't answer, and persuaded Wang Zhao to send Wang Ni to the Central Plains. His purpose was also to allow the Central Plains to occupy Koryo, which would be more morally legitimate.

Wang Zhao looked deeply at Chen Chuyao, and said, "Chen Qing, I know you have a great talent, in your opinion, I, Korea, is really going to perish here?"

Chen Chuyao was silent for a moment, then said, "There is still a glimmer of hope."

Wang Zhao hurriedly got up and made a bow, "I beg you sir to teach me!"

Chen Chuyao said: "Look for an opportunity to give up Kaesong. The enemy encircled three and lacked one, which just gave us a chance to break through. There are many mountains and forests in Koryo, and they are dormant in it. According to my estimate, at least two or three years, there will be a battle for the Khitan in the Central Plains. By then Khitan has no time to look east, His Majesty can recruit the common people to resist, regroup the righteous men in the country, and make a comeback."

Wang Zhao frowned and said, "If that's the case, why don't you stick to Kaijing. There is enough food in Kaijing, so it may not be impossible to persevere."

Chen Chuyao was silent for a moment, and said with difficulty: "If everyone is united, there will be no worries. Now..."

Wang Zhao understood Chen Chuyao's implication, and shouted angrily: "Shuangji deceived me!"

He naturally didn't think it was because he used Shuangji to monopolize the power, which led to the internal struggle between the Hanchen and the old nobles of Goryeo, so that the son rebelled against his parents, slavishly talked about his master, separated from top to bottom, and the monarch and his ministers disintegrated. Instead, he blamed Shuangji. .

Goryeo's fall is imminent, except for a few people, who would be willing to be buried for him?
At this point, Wang Zhao is also self-aware.

Lying on the chair, Wang Zhao seemed to have fallen asleep, closing his eyes and thinking deeply.

Chen Chuyao didn't bother, just stood aside.

After a long time, Wang Zhaofang opened his eyes, and said affectionately: "Well, Chen Qing, the whole court, I trust you most. You take the prince away, according to your ideas. Kaesong really can't hold it anymore, and the fate of Goryeo is in your hands."

In fact, there is no way to arrange Chen Chuyao.

How did Wang's Koryo world come about?
Wasn't it because of the rebellion of the Gong descendants that they won the world of Koryo.

Wang Ni is only ten years old this year, so what can he do?It is just a puppet, and even if the uprising is successful, it will not be able to obtain the real authority.

If it is handed over to the general of Goryeo, not to mention the conflict between the monarch and his ministers, if it is really done, it will overwhelm Goryeo, and it may replace him.

Chen Chuyao was different. He was from the Central Plains. Even if he wanted to usurp the throne, he would not get the support of the people of Korea. At best, he was a powerful minister.

After all, Koryo is in the hands of the Wang family, and sooner or later the powerful ministers will grow old or be punished one day.

Chen Chuyao made a bow and said, "I take orders!"

Chen Chuyao left the Koryo Palace, but did not return directly to the residence, but went to Yi Shenzheng's residence openly.

The two were originally good friends who crossed the sea together, and they were also close political partners. The relationship was closer and would not arouse suspicion from others.

Chen Chuyao told Yi Shenzheng about his mission, and he whispered: "Koryo's demise is inevitable. I am going to hide in the mountains and forests, and in the name of the Crown Prince of Koryo, I will gather a rebel army to fight against Khitan. I will wait for the arrival of the king of the Central Plains and lead my troops to respond. .”

Yi Shenzheng's expression changed drastically, he pulled Chen Chuyao nervously and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Chen Chen, you are gone, what should I do, don't try to harm me."

Chen Chuyao said: "I came here today to discuss this matter with you. Khitan lacks the most talents, and no one would have thought that Brother Yi, who is an official in Korea, belongs to His Majesty. As long as you perform outstandingly, not to mention being reused, you can mix with them The center will at least get a good job. Brother Yi, don’t worry, Wu Desi has all-powerful means. As long as you are an official in Khitan, no matter where you are, they will find an opportunity to contact you. At that time, brother Yi, you can also serve the court. effective."

Yi Shenzheng wants to cry but has no tears, no, it was agreed to be an internal response in Goryeo, and after the work is done, he will enjoy the glory and wealth.

Why are you going to Khitan again after the matter is not over here?

This day after day, year after year, when is the end.

Yi Shenzheng was at a loss and confused, but thinking of the letter sent by his mother half a year ago, his confused eyes gradually turned firm.

As the emperor, Luo Youdu's style is somewhat different from that of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu.

He doesn't have the kind of self-respecting and submissive courage. He is good at binding his own interests with his subjects and common people.

One glory and one glory.

Luo Youdu looked down on such a villain as Yi Shenzheng, but since Yi Shenzheng worked for him, he arranged for people to take special care of Yimu, and also arranged for an imperial doctor to consult her. Well, he has been ill for many years.

In the letter, Yi Mu also asked Yi Shenzheng to work for Luo Youdu, and she has repaid such kindness.

"Brother Chen, see you later!"

Yi Shenzheng also made up his mind.

Chen Chuyao bowed solemnly: "I have a chance, see you in Bianjing!"

Yi Shenzheng replied solemnly, "See you in Bianjing!"

　Thank you book friend Bai Yuchuan for your reward, thank you for your support!
