...

After attacking Pingzhou for a long time, Koryo's Northwest Army returned to aid at the risk of being wiped out by the Liao and Jin Dynasties.

The leader of the army is the famous Korean general Tuo Junjing.

As expected by Li Yan and others, Tuo Junjing really chose to surround Pingzhou City with [-] soldiers, and then led [-] troops to Luocheng.

have nothing to say.

The two sides are bound to fight a battle.

Li Yan personally commanded the Fourth Army, the Eighth Army, and the Ninth Army to repel Tuo Junjing's three sieges in a row, and then Li Yan handed over the command to Wu Song and Wang Yin, while Li Yan himself stood aside for Wu Song Sitting in town with Wang Yin, the meaning of cultivating Wu Song and Wang Yin is obvious.

There is actually no suspense in this battle. Although Tuo Junjing brought 5 horses, the Liangshan Army only had more than 5000 people in Luocheng, but the Liangshan Army relied on the fortified city of Luocheng to defend, and there were unconscionable cannons and bombers. With Tianlei and other sharp weapons to help defend, Tuo Junjing and the others had no chance of winning at all. The several sieges organized by Tuo Junjing failed to even reach the bottom of the city. Thousands of people were killed by unscrupulous artillery just filling the moat.

In addition, the Liangshan Army had sufficient food and grass, but the Northwest Army of Korea needed to transport food long distances from Xijing.

The most important thing is that Tuo Junjing and the others dare not leave the northwest for a long time, because there are still two greedy wolves there.

In this case, for Goryeo, there is still only one way to go—peace talks.

……

Funing Hall.

It turned out that the place where Wang Yu usually ate.

Now Li Yan usually eats.

Li Yan, Wang Yu, and Li Ziqian sat on three sides of the dining table.

Li Jiaren, Li Huiqiao (Queen Li Shi of Jinghe), and Wang Yizhen (Princess Chengde) waited on her side.

Li Yan picked up the wine glass and said, "Little son-in-law toasts the two father-in-laws."

Both Wang Yu and Li Ziqian were smiling, as if they had no grievances with each other at all, as if Li Yan was their good son-in-law. As for Li Huiqiao, whom Li Yan specially called, it didn't affect Wang Yu's expression at all. Yan couldn't help cursing secretly: "Two old foxes!"

Wang Yu gulped it down, and then said: "It has been more than four months since the governor came to Korea, and it really seems like a dream."

Li Ziqian also said: "Yes, it's been too long."

Li Yan said with a smile: "The two father-in-laws are not going to drive the son-in-law away?"

Wang Yu said: "It's not that Xiao Wang drove out the governor, but no matter how beautiful the distance is, it's not as good as home."

Li Yan said sadly: "It's a pity that my son-in-law has no home, not even a place to stay!" Then Li Yan looked at Wang Yu and discussed: "Why don't my father-in-law borrow a place from my son-in-law?"

Wang Yu expressed pity on his face, and said: "It's so pitiful, how about the little Wang borrowing the old place of Baekje to settle down with the governor?"

Li Yan said: "Thank you so much, my father-in-law... I just don't know where the old places of Baekje are?"

Wang Yu said: "Jiangnan Road and Haiyang Road."

Li Yan frowned and said: "Is there only Jiangnan Road and Haiyang Road? Doesn't the old place of Baekje include Guannai Road, Zhongyuan Road, Henan Road, Jiangnan Road, and Haiyang Road?"

Hearing Li Yanzhi's words, Wang Yu's face twitched!
According to what Li Yan said, this is nearly one-third of Koryo's territory!

The only thing that comforts Wang Yu is that Kaijing is not within this range, which shows that Li Yan is planning to withdraw from Kaijing.

Wang Yu squeezed a few times before forcing out a smile, and then said: "The governor may not know much about the history of Korea. When Baekje was at its strongest, there were only Henan Province, Gangnam Province, Haiyang Province, and Zhongyuan Province. Part of the territory has never owned the internal road, as evidenced by history books."

Li Yan frowned and said, "Is that so? In the history books I read, it is written that Baekje once occupied the entire Guannai Road?"

Without waiting for Wang Yu to speak, Li Yan said again: "There must be mistakes in the history books. I will ask someone to correct the mistakes in the history books later. How can I mislead my good father-in-law!"

Hearing that Li Yan was going to tamper with the history books, in other words, Li Yan insisted on Guannei Road, Zhongyuan Road, Henan Road, Jiangnan Road, and Haiyang Road, so Wang Yu was ready to bargain.

But Li Yan no longer looked at Wang Yu, but looked at Li Ziqian and said, "My father-in-law, why have you been silent and just drinking?"

Li Ziqian smiled and said: "The governor is talking about business with the king, how can I, a courtier, interrupt me."

Li Yan also smiled and said: "This is a family banquet. There is no governor, king of Koryo, and grand master of Koryo. My father-in-law can speak freely. Besides, who can guarantee that you can't become the king of Koryo?"

As soon as Li Yan said this, Wang Yu's expression froze instantly, and Li Ziqian quickly said: "The governor dare not talk nonsense, Li Ziqian will always be a courtier of Korea!"

Li Yan said with a smile: "Cao Cao also said that he will always be a courtier of the Han family, no...haha, just joking, the two father-in-laws must not take it seriously, eat wine and drink!"

Li Yan cited the example of Cao Cao, Wang Yu's expression became even worse, and Li Ziqian's expression was also very stiff!
Although the son-in-law of Li Ziqian and Wang Yu is not quite like the son-in-law of Cao Cao and Han Xiandi now, who can guarantee that it will not be the same in the future?

Wang Yu didn't want to become Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty!

So, after drinking a few glasses of wine, Wang Yu gritted his teeth secretly, then slapped his forehead, and said, "Xiao Wang remembered, there is indeed a historical book that records that Baekje once passed through the entire territory of Guannai Road."

Hearing Wang Yu's words, Li Ziqian couldn't help cursing inwardly: "Stupid! If you persist for a while, you may not be able to regain some land!" Li Yan was overjoyed, and secretly said: "It seems that we can talk to Wang Yu and Li Ziqian, and do something about it. That's right!" —— Li Ziqian thought well, the base price in Li Yan's mind was indeed not so high, Li Yan originally only wanted a part of Guannei Dao and a part of Central Plains Dao, but Wang Yu actually gave him both Guannei Dao and Central Plains Dao up.

In fact, why didn't Wang Yu know that the reserve price in Li Yan's heart was not so high?
But Wang Yu was worried that Li Ziqian would offer Li Yan a higher price in exchange for his throne or even his life!

So I decisively agreed.

In addition, Wang Yu's idea was that as long as he passes this test, he will use the power of the whole country to avenge Li Yan, so there is no difference between giving Li Yan more or less, "Despicable! Shameless! Greedy! Get The four daughters of the lonely king are still not satisfied, and even the queen of the lonely king will not be spared, which is tolerable, if you don't cut you into pieces, the lonely king will be a man in vain!"

But even though he thought so, Wang Yu didn't show his true emotions at all, and he didn't even look at Li Huiqiao from the beginning to the end, completely treating Li Huiqiao as a stranger he didn't know.

Wang Baqi is hard to bear, but Wang Yu is determined to learn from Yue Wang Goujian.

Wang Yu had even made up his mind that when Li Yan got out of Luocheng, he would try his best!

Wang Yu, who was full of smiles, looked at Li Yan and said to himself, "Li Yan, just wait for the lonely king to seek revenge from you!"
