"Goryo is over!"

Wang Yu's murmured words made most people in the court feel desperate!

Li Ziqian's eyes moved, but he didn't speak.

At this time, Baowen Pavilion waited for Jin Fushi to come out and said: "Your Majesty, I miss Koryo. Since the founding of the country, there have been many wars. In Pingzhou, so what, six years later I, Koryo, defeated the Liao Kingdom and regained my homeland, can the situation be sad now?"

After Wang Jian established Koryo, in order to stabilize the regime he established, he transformed internal contradictions into external contradictions, that is, he actively moved northward and expanded his territory.

Whose territory did Wang Jian expand and grab?
What is being robbed is the territory of the rising female gold clan.

Speaking of which, Goryeo had been bullying Jurchen for a long time, and at one point almost wiped out the Jurchen.

Later, Liao, the suzerain state of the Jurchen tribe, couldn't stand it anymore, and was afraid that Goryeo would use the Jurchen land as a springboard to enter the Central Plains, which would become a serious problem for them, so they launched three wars against Goryeo, that is, the three Koryo-Khitan wars.

In the first Goryeo-Khitan War, the main enemy of the Liao Kingdom was the Song Dynasty, and they didn't pay much attention to Goryeo. Therefore, after defeating Goryeo, they temporarily let go of Goryeo.

During the second Koryo-Khitan War, the Liao Kingdom beat up Koryo until the opening of Koryo, and drove the king of Koryo to Pingzhou. Later, because the battle line was too long, Koryo attacked again, and the Liao army withdrew.

The third Koryo-Khitan war lasted for five years, and finally the Liao army suffered a disastrous defeat. However, as the victorious side, Koryo was severely injured after years of fighting, and was powerless and lacked the courage to fight again. Later, the Liao Kingdom wanted to fight Koryo again. Hurry up and surrender, and the Koryo-Khitan War was completely ended.

Hearing Jin Fushi's words, Wang Yu and others remembered the difficulties during the Koryo-Khitan War, and gradually came out of despair.

"Indeed, although the current situation is bad, it is not as bad as during the Koryo-Khitan War, so there may not be a solution to this matter."

Wang Yu stabilized his mind, and then asked: "My dear friends, who has a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Jin Fushi added: "I thought we should talk to the leader of this group of Song people, and send another person to Song to check the details of this group of people. I don't think they are like the Song army."

Wang Yu asked, "Why do you feel this way?"

Jin Fushi said: "I have met Song Jun. He is a modest gentleman who loves poetry and songs, has a wide range of interests, and advocates the Tao of Laozhuang. He doesn't seem to like to invade the territory of other countries, and he is full of praise for the king. Therefore, it is unlikely that this group of people is the Song Army, and if they are really the Song Army, it will be a blessing in misfortune for us Koryo. It will take at least 20 days to go from Zhouzhou to Koryo. The front line of Song State is so long, it will be difficult to supply, and it will be defeated after a long battle. It is impossible to become the land of his Song Kingdom. In this case, as long as we understand it with reason and emotion, and pay some foreign things, we should be able to resolve some things, I'm afraid..."

Wang Yu asked, "Afraid of what?"

Jin Fushi said: "I'm afraid they are rootless people."

Those who could sneak into the imperial court were a few fools. Upon hearing Jin Fushi's words, they immediately thought: "If they are rootless people, they might want to grab the land of Koryo and take root."

After hearing Jin Fushi's analysis, Wang Yu couldn't help but panic again. If this group of ruthless people took root in Korea, they would be their enemy, so he couldn't help but asked again: "Then what should I do?"

Jin Fushi said: "Talk, now he is strong and we are weak. We can only get through this hurdle first, and then slowly figure it out."

Wang Yu said: "Yes, yes, let's talk about it." Feeling that he had lost his dignity, Wang Yu calmed down and asked, "Who wants to talk?"

If you talk about this kind of alliance under the city, you will be insulted by the other party, or you will be killed by the other party. The name of a traitor.

Therefore, no one opened their mouths to answer this question.

Seeing that no one was willing to talk about it, Wang Yu became angry, and said: "A filial son comes from a poor family, and a loyal minister is found in a difficult country. How difficult is it that I have no loyal ministers in Korea?"

After hearing Wang Yu's words, Jin Fushi secretly sighed, and was about to stand up.

But at this moment, Li Ziqian who hadn't spoken for a long time suddenly said: "I am willing to talk."

Seeing that Li Ziqian wanted to talk, Jin Fushi couldn't help shaking his head secretly: "Hey! Internal and external troubles, this time I'm afraid it will be a catastrophe for Goryeo!"

For his father-in-law, Wang Yu has to be more vigilant now, thinking: "Why is he willing to talk about this alliance under the city? Is he talking about it for me, or for himself?"

Thinking that Li Ziqian might be talking about it for himself, Wang Yu broke into a cold sweat, and then made up his mind: "Anyone can talk about this matter, and Li Ziqian must not be allowed to do it, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Thinking of this, Wang Yu said: "I know that the grand master is worried about the lonely king, but the grand master is the mainstay of Goryeo. If it fails to talk about it, who can talk about it?"

Wang Yu is saying: "Your status is too high. If you go and the negotiation fails, who should we send to talk to show our sincerity?"

Although this was an excuse for evasion, Wang Yu found it so coincidentally that Li Ziqian couldn't refute it at all.

But it doesn't matter, if Li Ziqian can be difficult in this way, then it is impossible for Li Ziqian to be so big.

Li Ziqian glanced at Baowenge Bachelor Zheng Keyong.

Zheng Keyong immediately understood, and immediately came out and said: "I am willing to talk."

"This Zheng Keyong is a diehard loyalist of Li Bandit. What's the difference between asking Zheng Keyong to talk about it and letting Li Bandit talk about it?" Wang Yan thought.

Wang Yu glanced at Han Anren indiscriminately.

Seeing this, Han Anren, who had a tacit understanding with Wang Matata, immediately winked at a member of their royalist faction named Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment, then came out and said, "I am also willing to talk."

Wang Yu said: "Jiang Hao has been sent to Song State twice, and has experience in dealing with Song State, so let Jiang Hao talk about it."

Li Ziqian did not give in and said: "Zheng Keyong is proficient in Song language and culture, understands the habits of Song people, and has also been a diplomatic mission to Song State, so he is also a suitable candidate."

Seeing that the time has come for Koryo's life and death, and Wang Yu and Li Ziqian are still fighting, Jin Fushi is really sad for the Koryo family!

Just as Wang Yu said before, when a country is in trouble, it shows a loyal minister. Jin Fushi tidied up his clothes, and then went out, saying: "I would like to talk."

Jin Fushi belongs to the Liangban faction, not Li Ziqian's. Although he is not close to the royalist faction, he is a real person who does things. More importantly, Wang Yu knows that he has been entangled with Li Ziqian for a long time. After nine contests, Li Ziqian couldn't win, so he said decisively: "Jin Aiqing is the person who knows Song people best in Koryo, and it is most appropriate for Jin Aiqing to talk about it."

Jin Fushi's father, Jin Jin, left a great reputation in Song Dynasty when he was an envoy to Song State, so that their father and son went to Song State many times. Therefore, there is really no one in Korea who is more suitable to talk to than Jin Fushi. As for Li Ziqian, it is not easy to refute.

But Li Ziqian quickly made up his mind, and said: "There is only one envoy, how can we show our sincerity, let Zheng Keyong talk together."

Wang Yu knew that Li Ziqian must have not held back his fart when he tried so hard to get the envoy of the joint talks, so he glanced at Han Anren indiscriminately.

Han Anren understood, and said: "The grand master's words are justified, so let Mr. Jin Fushi, Mr. Zheng Keyong, and Mr. Jiang Hao discuss together. This will show the sincerity of our Goryeo."
