"Wu Yong, you have done such a great thing this time, you are considered a great hero of Liangshan, I want to thank you for Liangshan!" After sending Yang Jian away, Wu Dong looked at Wu Yong and said with a smile.

"Governor, I'm just executing your military order. As long as you are satisfied, everything is fine." Wu Yong looked humble.

In the past, when he made suggestions, he was afraid that others would not praise him.But this time, after he accomplished such a great event, he pretended to be modest and prudent everywhere, which made Wu Dong feel very funny.

"Anyway, I will remember your contribution." Wu Dong smiled.

"Thank you, Commander..." Wu Yong said happily, and after a while, Wu Yong said again: "Governor, I didn't see Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Shun and others when I came back this time. Where did they go?"

"They went to the south of the Yangtze River to recruit people," Wu Dong said.

"Ah!" Wu Yong was slightly taken aback.

"There has been a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and this year it is another severe drought. Coupled with the disaster of Huashigang, the people there live a very hard life, and many places have begun to change their sons to eat! Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Shun and others went to the south of the Yangtze River to recruit people, but they only agreed No need to speak any other language, even though they are full, those common people will follow Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Shun to Korea, hey." Wu Dong said with a sigh.

"The court's Huashi Gang is really harmful." Wu Yong said.

Jiangnan was originally the most populous place in China and also the most fertile place, but because of Hua Shigang, it became a hell on earth.Because of Huashigang, it also ruined the country of the Song Dynasty.Wu Dong couldn't help but think of a poem from later generations, "Long Live Mountain has come to impoverish Kyushu, and Biandi still has thousands of people worrying. There have been many kingdoms in the Central Plains since ancient times, but who knows that it is a stone after the Song Dynasty."

Shaking his head, Wu Dong said: "Wu Yong, I am very satisfied that you have completed this task. Now you can take a good rest, and I will give you an easy task."

"I don't know what the mission is?" Wu Yong asked curiously.

"Go to Japan to do business." Wu Dong said.

"Uh... But the Koryo War is about to start. As the chief of the Operations Department, how can I go to Japan to do business?" Wu Yong said hesitantly.

"Of course you can also sit in the combat department, but you also know that your chief of the combat department is in name only, and everything is managed by Huarong himself. You went there just to be angry. If you want to go to the combat department to be angry, then go " Wu Dong said bluntly.

Wu Yong wanted to cry, but he didn't expect Huarong to be in charge of the combat department after such a major event, which made him very upset.

Wu Yong left, Wu Dong looked at his back with a smile on his face.Wu Yong really surprised him, and I hope Wu Yong can create a new situation in Dongying.

The scale of trade between Liangshan and Dongying is really too small. Wu Dong urgently hopes that the scale of trade between the two sides can be increased, so that brocades and tea from the Central Plains can be sold to Dongying in exchange for a large amount of copper coins, gold and silver from Dongying.As far as Wu Dong knew, there were several huge copper and silver mines in Dongpu, and those were a steady stream of wealth.

In the afternoon, Hua Rong urgently asked Wu Dong to see him, saying, "Governor, we just got the information that the Koreans are attacking Yuanzhou and Baozhou."

Huarong pointed out the location of these two cities to Wudong on the map. Both of these places are on the north bank of the Yalu River, which can be regarded as the territory of the Liao people.

Wu Dong was taken aback, and said, "How did they attack these two places?"

Hua Rong said: "Governor, the information obtained by the intelligence office is that the Jin people have occupied most of Liaodong, and this Yuanzhou and Baozhou belong to several cities that have not yet been occupied by the Jin people. The Koreans want to obtain a territory on the other side of the Yalu River. , so attack these two places.”

Wu Dong pondered for a moment, then said: "Who is the leader? How many troops did Goryeo send?"

Hua Rong said: "Li Shangen, the northern general of Goryeo, leads the army, and the number of troops is close to 10."

Wu Dong was surprised: "10 people? All the soldiers and horses on the northern border of Goryeo have been dispatched? Are they not defending the border?"

Hua Rong said: "Now that the Liao people are decadent, it is impossible to take the initiative to attack Goryeo. It is said that the relationship between the Jin people and Goryeo is not bad, and they will not attack Goryeo, so Goryeo can draw out soldiers and horses. Governor, what should we do now? ?”

Wu Dong said: "Let them make trouble... the Koreans will definitely spend their troops if they want to take down these two cities. This is also a good thing for us."

******

On the northern border of Goryeo, in order to resist the attack of foreigners, the Goryeo people built the "Great Wall of Thousand Miles" here.

Because of the high mountains and the "Great Wall", the Liao people have not invaded Goryeo for nearly a hundred years.

Of course, the Koreans never went north from the Great Wall, but this year is an exception.

Goryeo general Li Shangen led 10 soldiers and horses out of the Great Wall and surrounded Yuanzhou and Baozhou in the Liao Kingdom.

Li Shangen is a middle-aged man in his 30s. Holding a silver gun in his hand, he rode a war horse to the foot of the city of Yuanzhou, and said loudly: "Let your city lord, Yeluning, come out and talk!"

There was a commotion from the Liao soldiers on the city wall. After a while, a white-haired veteran stood up. He looked at Li Shangen below, with a sneer on his face, and said, "So it's General Li from Korea. What's the matter... As a subject of our Daliao, does Goryeo dare to attack our Daliao?"

Li Shangen laughed loudly, and said, "Daliao? Hahahaha, do the Khitans still dare to call themselves Daliao now? Your Tokyo has been brought down by the Jurchens, and you still dare to call yourself a great country like you are now. It's ridiculous! I think you Khitan people will be completely subjugated within ten years at the most."

Yeluning gritted his teeth and looked at Li Shangen, and said coldly: "So you Korean dog that you don't know well wants to come up and take a bite?"

Li Shangen's face was flushed, but he still said: "Yeluning, we don't want to fight with you either, as long as you let go of the city gate and surrender to Korea, I will spare your life."

Yeluning said coldly: "Dream! Come on, shoot me an arrow and kill him!"

Countless bows and arrows shot towards Li Shangen. Although he was still far away from Li Shangen, Li Shangen was startled. He hurriedly turned around and said in a hurry: "Siege the city, take Yuanzhou and protect it for me." state!"

Beginning at the beginning of May, the battle of Yuanzhou and Baozhou for the Koreans began.Goryeo has [-] soldiers and horses, and the Liao people have only [-] soldiers and horses. Although the Liao people have declined, they are still much stronger than the Goryeo people.

It has been half a month since the attack, and the Koreans suffered heavy casualties, but they are still unable to capture these two cities.

"General, what should we do now?" Li Shangen's soldiers asked anxiously.

"What should we do? Of course, we need to increase the number of troops in the country! This time, I must conquer Yuanzhou and Baozhou... I, Korea, have not yearned for expansion for more than a hundred years." Li Shangen gritted his teeth.

On the same day, Li Shangen went to the country to let the domestic soldiers and horses continue to support the battle of Yuanzhou and Baozhou.

******

When Goryeo opened the capital, King Ruizong Wang Yu received a letter from Li Shangen, and hurriedly called all the courtiers to discuss this matter.

"The Liao people have already lost Tokyo, and Shangjing is about to lose it. I didn't expect it to be so powerful. You all talk about it, should we continue to increase our troops and capture Yuanzhou and Baozhou?" Wang Yu said.

"Your Majesty, I think it is very necessary. However, the number of soldiers in our country is not large, and I think it is necessary to recruit troops." Taiwei Li Haoran said.

Li Haoran is not only the Taiwei, in charge of the Privy Council of Korea, but also the head of the Li family of Korea.Li Shangen in the north is Li Haoran's own nephew, so he naturally supports his nephew.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't make much sense to defeat Yuanzhou and Baozhou. I don't think there is any need to waste troops." A member of the Privy Council, Zhang Yan, said.

The ministers discussed this matter, but there was no conclusion.

"Your Majesty, if Yuanzhou and Baozhou are conquered, we will have two more important cities on the other side of the Yalu River, which will be of great help to the improvement of our country's national power." Li Haoran said again.

"Liaodong has basically belonged to the territory of the Jurchens. Even if we take down those two cities, what should we do if the Jurchens attack?" Zhang Yan said.

"Are the Jurchens? Are they powerful? I don't think so... Decades ago, the Jurchens were subjects of the Liao Kingdom just like us. The Jurchens even depended on us Koreans for their lives. Now they But it is only temporarily powerful. One day in the future, our Goryeo will rule the world like Jurchen... Your Majesty, think about the vast land of Goguryeo, don’t you want to restore the land of Goguryeo?" Li Haoran said.

"This... how to restore it?" Wang Yu asked, obviously interested in this.

"First of all, we should recruit soldiers! Goguryeo had a total of 50 soldiers back then. But what about our current Goryeo? The total population of our country is several times larger than that of Goguryeo, but our military strength is only about [-]. Is this appropriate? "Li Haoran said.

"Master Li, our Goryeo is not Goguryeo, and it is impossible to achieve the glory of Goguryeo." A minister said.

Li Haoran quarreled with the minister, and the court was noisy.

Wang Yu frowned, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Grand Master Jin Dongqing suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, can you let the old minister say a few words."

Wang Yu hurriedly said: "What does the grand master want to say, please tell me quickly."

This Jin Dongqing is now No. 1 among the ministers of Korea, with high prestige, and when he wanted to speak, the court immediately fell silent.

Jin Dongqing said: "Your Majesty, ministers, I don't think we should attack Yuanzhou Baozhou at the moment."

Wang Yu said: "Why is this?"

Jin Dongqing said: "Our Goryeo still has internal troubles. Before the internal troubles are eliminated, we really shouldn't fight in the north."

Li Haoran said: "The internal troubles you are talking about are those Liangshan bandits?"

Jin Dongqing nodded and said, "That's right, Liangshan bandits are getting stronger and stronger, and sooner or later they will become our confidants' serious trouble."
