Chapter 214 Self-deception (please subscribe!)
...

Seeing that Sun Jing and the others didn't come because of the servant riot, Li Yan couldn't help being curious, what could make these people come to him together?
Especially there are Qiu Xi, Guo Yong, and Hu Yanqing who have not surrendered.

It's a pity that top talents such as Qiu, Guo Yong, and Hu Yanqing can't be used by him!
Therefore, before coming here, Li Yan gave the jade seal to Guo Yong and Hu Yanqing for identification in his busy schedule.

At that time, Guo Yong shouted: "Fake! Fake! This Chuanguo Yuxi is designated as a fake, it is really still in the palace, and it is still in the hands of officials!", and almost dropped the Chuanguo Yuxi. He was kicked to the ground by Chen Liqing, and took back the Chuan Guo Yuxi.

Unlike Guo Yong who resolutely does not believe that the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is real, Hu Yanqing is silent, exactly the same as the expression of Qiu Xian who saw the Jade Seal of the Chuanguo again!
Li Yan didn't give Guo Yong a chance to disbelieve him, and directly asked Li Shishi, who came to Jeju Island to play with him, to meet Guo Yong.

Li Shishi can’t fake it, because too many people know the most famous woman in the Song Dynasty, just find anyone who has been in Kaifeng’s brothel to prove it, and Li Shishi’s unique temperament and demeanor can’t be imitated by others of.

Two years ago, the mysterious disappearance of Li Shishi was widely circulated in the Song Dynasty, and countless versions of the story came out.

One of the versions is that Li Shishi eloped with the robber Bai Yutang. Before elopement, Bai Yutang sneaked into the palace and stole a treasure of Zhao Ji.

What Li Yan said about obtaining the Chuanguo Yuxi can explain those rumors very well, and he also produced the ironclad evidence of Li Shishi, so that Guo Yong was dumbfounded at the time, and then he burst into tears like Qiu Qian back then.

Guo Yong is stronger than Qiu Xian, so Li Yan is really afraid that this anti-golden official will get overwhelmed and end up with him, so this time he brought the three of them along, and let them see the relationship between himself and Zhao Ji, the foolish king. different.

Sun Jing said: "Brother, today, you should tell us your plan, so we can plan for brother."

Li Yandao: "It turns out that this is the matter. Well, I will tell you. My plan is that if Goryeo does not send a large army to rescue Licheng City, we will rob Licheng Port and then go back home."

Sun Jing asked: "If you come to help?"

Li Yandao: "Fight it. If you lose, stick to it. When we evacuate Licheng Port, we will withdraw our troops."

Sun Jing asked again: "If you win?"

Li Yan said: "It depends on how much the enemy is wiped out and how much our army has lost."

Sun Jing and the others looked at each other and said, "If we annihilate [-] enemies, our army will not lose much?"

Li Yan said: "Attack Kaijing."

Sun Jing and the others all focused and calmed down.

Sun Jing asked, "What if we win again?"

Li Yandao: "It's the same as Li Chenggang, empty it out."

Before Sun Jing could ask any more questions, Guo Yong couldn't help but said, "Nothing else?"

Li Yan looked at Guo Yong and asked, "Master Guo seems to be very concerned about this matter?"

Zhu Wu didn't want the relationship between the two sides to ease back after so much effort, and said: "Gaoguli occupied the northern part of the peninsula after the decline of Yan. Before that, it had always been the four major counties of the Central Plains. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they conquered Goryeo several times and died. It took millions of people to establish the Andong Protectorate and recover the former land of the Central Plains. It is a pity that the descendants of the later generations are incompetent, and they were separatized by Goryeo and became an existence that could threaten the Central Plains. His name will surely be left in history, and we will also be able to share the glory of my brother."

Li Yan said noncommittally: "Do you think I can regain Korea?"

What Li Yan didn't expect was that everyone, including Qiu Xian, Guo Yong, and Hu Yanzhuo, nodded in unison.

Li Yan smiled and said, "You guys have so much confidence in me?"

Qiao Daoqing said: "At present, it seems that my brother is the most hopeful person to regain this old place."

Li Yan was still noncommittal and said: "You don't think we can conquer the whole of Korea with 2 people?"

Qiu couldn't help but said: "You have already done all the preparations. As long as you go through this most difficult stage, your army will surely fight more and more. It may be difficult to take down the entire Goryeo, but if you plan well, you can win There is still a chance in half of Korea."

Li Yan looked at Qiu Xian and asked: "So, you are here this time to help me plan this matter?"

Qiu Xian was silent for a while, and said: "I am willing to do my best to regain the old place in the Central Plains."

After hearing what he wanted to hear from Qiukouxian, Li Yan turned his head to Guo Yong and asked, "If I regain some old places, would you like to manage them for me?"

Guo Yong remained silent.

Seeing this, Li Yan said again: "If there is no good shepherd to govern, even if I recover the old land, I will not be able to keep it. Why do I spend so much effort?"

Guo Yong knew that Li Yan was trying to force him to express his opinion, and he also knew that he had voted for Yu Yu, but in fact it could not affect Li Yan's decision.

But this is the best time to improve the relationship between him and Li Yan. He is only in his 30s. Could it be that he has been trapped on Jeju Island all his life? Could it be that he is really keeping the festival for Zhao Ji, the faint king? Could it be that he really doesn't do his best to regain his homeland...

After thinking for a long time, Guo Yongcai said: "I will not help you endanger the Song Dynasty."

This is actually self-deception, as long as you work for Li Yan, you are helping Li Yan grow stronger, and one day Li Yan seized the country in the Northern Song Dynasty, and all those who helped Li Yan grow stronger are accomplices.

However, Li Yan didn't pierce the window paper, saying: "Master Guo only needs to manage this old place in the Central Plains."

Guo Yong didn't speak any more, he acquiesced to the matter.

Li Yan then looked at Hu Yanqing and asked, "How many soldiers can you command?"

Hu Yanqing's face was bitter!
At any rate, Qiu He, Guo Yong, and Li Yan asked if they would like to contribute, and he directly deprived him of the right to choose!
After a while, Hu Yanqing said: "The last general should be able to command ten thousand soldiers."

Li Yan nodded, then straightened his body, and said: "If we can wipe out [-] Korean troops, and then conquer Kaijing, I want to start with Kaijing..."

At this moment, Ruan Xiaoqi came in with a dusty Shiqian.

As soon as Shi Qian entered the door, he reported: "Brother, Kaijing has already begun to mobilize the army, and the first troops will come to the city early tomorrow morning at the latest." ——The distance between Licheng Port and Kaijing is only more than 30 miles, even if Li Yan has ordered , Xu Jin was not allowed to leave, or it was soon discovered by Goryeo that they had occupied Licheng Port, and then began to mobilize the army.

Li Yan asked: "How many troops did Goryeo dispatch?"

Shi Qian replied: "The specific number, because of the limited conditions, I really can't find out. I can only guess the number based on various sources. The number should not be less than [-]."

If the [-] to [-] Koryo troops cannot be wiped out, attacking Kaijing would be a joke. Therefore, knowing that Koryo really wanted to send at least [-] troops to fight, Li Yan immediately said to Sun Jing and the others: "Prepare for the battle first, and wait until the preparations are over." , I’ll tell you my plan again.”

After speaking, Li Yan asked someone to bring the map and a simple sand table, and at the same time asked Wang Dingliu to notify the relevant people to come over for the pre-war meeting.
