A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Laiyuan City is not big, with the Yalu River in front of you.

In the spring season, coming to Yuancheng has become a hell.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

The dense Goryeo army surrounded Laiyuan City, and with the appearance of Wang Hui, cheers of long live could be heard endlessly.

"Will the enemy general not surrender?"

Wang Hui, dressed in military uniform, pointed at Laiyuan City and asked.

"Your Majesty, the Liao generals who came to Yuancheng said that Goryeo was treacherous and that Daliao's revenge would destroy our country."

"Haha!" Wang Hui smiled softly, "Yelu Hongji was defeated. He was fleeing to the Zhongjing Road. The Song people were chasing and had no time to pay attention to the Tokyo Road. This was Goryeo's only chance. Don't take action... Think about how big the territory of the Song people will be after this war?"

A group of civil servants and generals were sitting nearby, all of them deep in thought.

Li He stood out among them. He said calmly: "Your Majesty, Yelu Hongji cannot protect Zhongjing City."

Wang Hui looked at his beloved general and asked with a smile: "Why?"

Li He said: "The Liao people...I know better. They have actually relied on their prestige to maintain rule these years. The Song people overthrew them with just a slight push. After Yelu Hongji returned to Zhongjing City, the Liao people would definitely There is chaos, and it is useless to defend Zhongjing City at this moment. The army has no fighting spirit, and the Song army can attack with a drum. I thought that Yelu Hongji would run away and ran all the way to the grassland to seek support from those tribes."

Wang Hui shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not possible. There are still 100,000 troops in Zhongjing City. No matter how stupid Yelu Hongji is, he can still use this to defend Zhongjing Road, and then slowly get entangled with the Song people. The Song people are far away from the mainland and have inconvenient supplies. They will not be able to defeat them for a long time. , they will definitely retreat, and the stalemate will begin again."

He looked at the ministers and said with a smile: "In this way, the Goryeo people occupy the Tokyo Road, the Song people occupy the Xijing Road, the Liao people guard the Zhongjing Road, and the Shangjing Road is probably going to be in chaos. Those tribes will rebel, and then the Liao and Song people will We, Goryeo, are in dire straits and are profiting from this, and this is the way to revive Goryeo.”

Some ministers said: "Your Majesty, the Song people are powerful. If Goryeo defends our territory, they will definitely not find an excuse to start a war. Let us be more respectful and pay tribute every year. This will ensure long-term peace. But now that the army has passed the Yalu River, let's The people of Song Dynasty have seen our ambitions, and they are afraid that they will be suppressed in the future!"

Wang Hui looked slightly cold but said nothing.

"Cowardly people!" Jin Chengjun said: "The Song Dynasty people betrayed their trust and loaned us two million yuan, but now we can't pay it back. Do you know what compound interest is? The previous capital and interest must be added together. The interest rate for the next issue... Gao Li has not yet paid it!"

His voice was loud, but Wang Hui was very comfortable.

The decision to send troops was made by him, and the loan of two million yuan was just an excuse. But when he thought of the two million dollars, he was still furious.

"That Shen An is cunning. The weapons he sold to us were ridiculously expensive!" Jin Chengjun said angrily: "And after we expanded our army, the Song people didn't attack the Liao people and let our army waste money and food in vain. How could we pay for it?" Can we afford their money? They are forcing us to take action!"

Everyone sighed, and someone whispered: "But when did the Song people attack the Liao people... What does that have to do with us?"

These words lifted the veil of hypocrisy of the Korean people and revealed their true thoughts.

What two million yuan... This is a business, a business between you and me. What are you complaining about?

As for the Song people attacking the Liao people, that was their freedom. When did the Koreans decide when the Song people attacked the Liao people?

The official was immediately glared at by everyone.

Wang Hui sneered in his heart, preparing to deal with this person at the right time.

"Your Majesty, the armies have assembled." Li He, as the top general, will preside over the expedition during this trip.

Wang Hui nodded, "Let's get started."

Li He shouted: "Attack the city!"

The small Laiyuan City was trembling, and arrows kept falling from the top of the city. But to the huge Goryeo army, this was just a small stone falling into the sea, and then disappeared without a trace.

The ladder was set up, and the Korean ants attacked the city.

Why do ants attack a city?

Looking at it from a distance, the sergeants on the ladder were as densely packed as ants clinging to the city wall.

The fighting began.

The Liao army is still brave, but it is too small to come to Yuancheng.

A steady stream of Koreans climbed to the top of the city and strangled the Liao people.

Wang Hui praised: "The warriors are very brave. We must hurry. After capturing Tokyo City, we can block the Liao army's road from Zhongjing Road."

He still believed that Yelu Hongji could hold the Zhongjing Road, and then the weak Liao army could only sit back and watch Goryeo win the Tokyo Road, and then the balance between the three kingdoms was restored.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Li He looked at the siege battle with deep eyes. Several generals glanced at him and nodded slightly.

Jin Chengjun was also watching the offensive and defensive battle, but in his mind he was thinking about what he was forced to write by Shen An. If Wang Hui saw it, he felt that he had better commit suicide to avoid bringing down the family.

That beast Shen An!

He gritted his teeth and hated it.

"Long live!"

"The city is broken!"

Amid the cheers, Li He smiled and said, "The king will be invited to the city later to take charge."

Wang Hui nodded.

Later, the city was cleaned up, and Wang Hui was surrounded by people entering Laiyuan City.

Just after entering the city gate, a person suddenly stood up on the roof on the right, and it turned out to be the Liao army.

With just one arrow, Wang Hui fell down from his horse, clutching his chest.

He stared blankly at the Liao Army sergeant who was covered in arrows, and turned his eyes to see the courtiers.

Jin Chengjun was at a loss, but felt a little relieved.

Why is he happy?

Wang Hui doesn't understand.

And Li He...

Li He dismounted anxiously and ran over, knelt beside him, stretched out his hand to hold the arrow, and shouted sadly: "Call the doctor! Go quickly!"

Wang Hui felt severe pain in the wound, and his cheeks trembled, "Li Qing...Li Qing..."

Everyone around was looking at him, and Li He cried, "Your Majesty."

Wang Hui said: "Remember, remember..."

He wanted to ask who would take over, but the arrow was drilling into his body.

That sharp pain!

He looked at Li He's hand in shock.

There was no sign of exertion in that hand at all. Instead, it seemed to be maintaining the stability of the arrow and preventing others from touching it.

What a loyal and loyal minister!

Wang Hui understood everything.

That Liao army must have been arranged by Li He, who wanted to kill his own rebels.

And he even thought about the reason why he was satisfied with Li He.

Li He's wife and children were set on fire and burned to death. They were left alone and helpless. This was the reason why he reused this person.

At this moment, it seems that Li He lit the fire himself.

This is a vicious and poisonous snake!

I……

He reached out to grab Li He, but the force was more like a loving touch.

The hand fell down weakly.

"Your Majesty!"

Li He touched his heartbeat with tears in his eyes, raised his head and said, "The king... collapsed."

"Your Majesty..."

The great victory of Cai Jiang turned into sorrow, and the armies howled.

Seeing how sad everyone was crying, Li He said sternly: "Goryeo has sent out troops at this moment, so we can't turn back. The king died, and I was heartbroken, but the war cannot be delayed. We must capture the city of Tokyo as soon as possible, otherwise once the Song Dynasty attacks, When the time comes...the Liao army will attack Goryeo, and the Song people will also attack Goryeo."

Everyone stood up slowly. At this moment, most of them were at a loss and didn't know the way forward.

The Liao people will be furious, that's for sure. If Yelu Hongji could hold the Zhongjing Road, he would then stabilize the rule of the Tokyo Road and then appease the Upper Jing Road. Only in this way could the situation of the Liao Kingdom be stabilized, otherwise the country would collapse in an instant.

"With the Tokyo Road captured, we have room for maneuver. There are countless tribes in the north. We can conquer them and expand slowly..."

Li He's words opened up a magnificent picture for everyone: Goryeo has captured the Tokyo Road, and the endless grassland in the north is their territory. If they encircle and suppress them all the way, Goryeo will eventually become a behemoth.

"Yelu Hongji can't hold the Zhongjing Road. But Yelu Hongji will join forces with us on the Shangjing Road? Why?" Li He said confidently: "Because he can't stand alone. He can't resist with only the Shangjing Road and those people. The Song people's attack, so we only need to capture Tokyo City and Jinzhou and other places to block the Song army on the Zhongjing Road, and then join forces with the Liao people..."

This layout is really good, the key is to make it convincing.

Li He... seems to be quite powerful!

This idea was lingering in everyone's minds unconsciously.

"The news of the king's death must not be reported back, otherwise if Goryeo is in chaos, we will be rootless duckweeds!"

This is inevitable. In ancient times, there were many things that were kept secret, just to worry about people's confusion.

"Attack!"

Li He suddenly transformed and became the commander of the army.

The army arrived at Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo on the third day.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

The Korean army still cheered as usual.

Li He had replaced his horse with a tall war horse, which looked particularly mighty. He smiled and said: "The morale of our sons is high, and we will win this battle."

Everyone nodded in agreement. At this moment, everyone understood the truth. Goryeo... was about to change.

"Siege the city!"

Li He rode his horse and watched.

Countless people were running wildly carrying ladders, and arrows began to fall from the top of the city.

When the ladder went up, ladles of golden juice poured down.

"ah……"

The hot golden juice scalded the skin into blisters, and then the toxins soaked into it.

Anyone who is poured with golden juice will definitely die!

This is an iron rule in the military.

"Fire the arrow!"

Tokyo City is not a small place like Laiyuan. It has a lot of troops stationed there. The key is that there are a lot of weapons and food.

Both sides are fighting.

Li He kept giving orders.

"Go to Jinzhou to find out the news!"

"Yuqi hasn't come back yet? Send him again!"

His face turned red with excitement.

This feeling of controlling a country made him feel that everything in the world was illusion.

Only reality exists in front of you!

"Attack! Don't be afraid of casualties. After capturing Liaoyang City, there will be countless money and food in it, enough for us to replenish!"

The Koreans were attacking Liaoyang City crazily.

And just on the side of an old forest twenty miles away, Shen An was eating cakes.

"Mr. Lang, the Koreans are attacking Liaoyang City!"

The country soldiers in camouflage clothes are back.

Shen An said with a smile: "The Koreans attacked Liaoyang City. This is to make a wedding dress for the Song Dynasty. It's very good!"

Cao Ji, who was beside him, swallowed the cake with difficulty and said, "The hole you dug actually buried the whole country."
