The Most Powerful Man in the World

Obviously, the contents of the secret letter were so amazing that even Li Ziqian's concentration was stunned.

After a while, Li Ziqian came back to his senses and said to Li Fang, "Fang'er, send someone to invite Tuo Junjing immediately."

Li Fang responded.

After receiving the news, Tuo Junjing rushed over immediately.

In the study, when Tuo Junjing took the secret letter from Li Ziqian and scanned the contents of the secret letter, Tuo Junjing's reaction was not much better than Li Ziqian's, and he was completely stunned by the news.

After a period of relaxation, Li Ziqian apparently calmed down. Looking at Tuo Junjing with a shocked expression, he said, "My family, Da Song doesn't care about us at all. However, [-] soldiers and horses even delusionally want to destroy my Goryeo, what a shame this is."

Tuo Junjing sneered and said, "I think back then, the hundreds of thousands of troops of Emperor Yang of the Great Sui Dynasty were not defeated and returned home. It is a delusion to want to destroy my Gaoli."

In the face of pressure, it will either collapse or explode. Obviously, Tuo Junjing and Li Ziqian will not collapse so easily. If not, it is impossible for the two to control the military and political power of Korea.

While speaking, Tuo Junjing looked at Li Ziqian solemnly and said, "My dear family, it seems that we will do our best this time, otherwise, we will become Koryo's sinners."

Li Ziqian is worthy of being a powerful minister of the generation. Looking at Tuo Junjing, he nodded without hesitation and said, "Although my in-laws can rest assured, a certain party will provide you with the most abundant armaments and grains, and will definitely not leave frontline soldiers without weapons and grains. ."

Tuo Junjing clasped his fist at Li Ziqian and said, "In this way, I will thank my relatives on behalf of all the soldiers."

After the two calmed down, they naturally discussed how to deal with this calamity. Originally, after Renzong was successfully evacuated, the rift between the two gradually grew, but now there is the pressure of Song Dynasty, the gap between the two will naturally disappear. , as usual, cooperate tacitly.

After about an hour or so, Tuo Junjing left the mansion and returned to his mansion not long afterward. In Wangjing, many people of Koryo saw that Tuo Junjing, the chief general of Koryo army and horses, led a team of personal guards. Extremely fast speed rushed out of Wang Jing.

With Tuo Junjing's own cultivation, he returned to the camp by the Yalu River in less than half an hour.

On the banks of the Yalu River, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed here, accounting for almost [-]% of Tuo Junjing's troops.

Tuo Junjing's [-] soldiers were almost [-]-[-]% of all the troops in Goryeo. Otherwise, Tuo Junjing would not be afraid of Li Ziqian.

However, the first thing Tuo Junjing did when he returned to the camp this time was to order his generals to recruit soldiers to expand the army.

Yes, according to the results of Tuo Junjing's discussion with Li Ziqian, before Chu Yi's troops arrived, they had to pile up an army of [-].

That is to say, in addition to Tuo Junjing's current subordinates, at least [-] troops must be expanded. [-] troops is not a small number, and it is definitely not something that can be achieved in one or two days. Therefore, Tuo Junjing will launch subordinate generals.

Not to mention the rest, many of the generals under Tuo Junjing were descendants of noble families in Goryeo and had close ties with Wang Jing and many nobles in Goryeo.

According to Tuo Junjing, that is, as long as these people can pull up a team, no matter how many people, these people will belong to that person, and then the officials will be sealed according to the number of their troops.

It has to be said that this method still has great temptation for a considerable number of people. After all, they are in the army. Although some people have high status, it is because of various reasons that their subordinates do not have much rights at all, let alone How many people have you led.

After all, Tuo Junjing's men and horses are almost all in the hands of his confidant generals, and it is conceivable what kind of treatment those generals who came from the children of the powerful will be treated.

But now that Tuo Junjing's order came out, I don't know how many generals who came from the powerful children's eyes lit up. According to Tuo Junjing's order, doesn't it mean that as many men and horses as they pull, then as many men and horses as their subordinates will be.

Maybe they can't pull tens of thousands of troops, but with the family power behind them, I dare not say that there are hundreds or thousands of troops. It's really not a problem.

Not to mention the rest, none of these powerful families has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and at least thousands of tenants are attached to them. As long as they are willing, they can easily recruit hundreds of thousands of young people.

Sun Cheng is a representative figure of the children of the powerful, and the family behind him is a powerful family that Wang Jing can count. Looking at Tuo Junjing, he said: "What the chief executive said is true, no matter how many people we pull, it will be under our command. ?"

Tuo Junjing nodded slightly and said, "This commander will do what he says. As long as you have the ability, even if you bring in tens of thousands of troops, then these tens of thousands of horses will belong to you."

Sun Cheng laughed and said, "Since that's the case, the chief executive will wait for our news."

Soon the entire Goryeo was shaken by Tuo Junjing's order. Even Li Ziqian, who was in charge of Wang Jingzhong, was a little surprised when he got the news. Obviously, he didn't expect Tuo Junjing to issue such an order, but he was not allowed to. I don't admit it. In the long run, this order will definitely greatly enhance the power of those powerful families, but for now, it is the most effective means.

With the help of the power of these noble families, it is really not difficult to gather [-] horses.

At the same time that Goryeo was moving up and down, the tens of thousands of troops led by Chu Yi were galloping across the vast land.

Even with tens of thousands of cavalry, the marching speed is extremely fast, but it is not enough to cross thousands of miles to reach Goryeo in a few days.

Along the way, wherever the army passed, it naturally played an excellent deterrent effect. After all, it took only one or two years for the Great Song Dynasty to incorporate this land into the territory, and this land has been separated from the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years. For a long time, it is naturally not that simple to win people's hearts for a while.

Even in many places, there are still big gold remnants who are making trouble in the dark, and this time, tens of thousands of troops have passed by, and all those with ulterior motives have been suppressed, and even many people have directly let go of the thoughts in their hearts, and they have been honest since then. Be a true citizen.

At the end of April in the fourth year of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty, in nearly a month, tens of thousands of troops finally crossed a distance of thousands of miles and arrived at the newly established Guining Road in the northeast of the Song Dynasty. .

Changzhou is the most marginal state adjacent to Goryeo, and the reason why Changmyeongfu's government was chosen in Changzhou is to guard against Goryeo nearby.

It's just that the land of Changzhou has just been incorporated into the territory of the Song Dynasty.

As the military envoy of a state, there are only less than [-] soldiers and horses under him. As for the counties under Changming House, there are even fewer troops. It is like Yongning County. When it was conquered by the Koreans, Yongning County was all The head and subordinates are full of calculations, and the county yamen servants are only more than a hundred people.

At this time, Changzhou Zhizhou Mao Ang was leading his officials to stand in front of the city gate and look at the official road from a distance. The official road was rugged, obviously because of disrepair.

Suddenly someone exclaimed: "Look, here we come, the army is here."

Many officials looked at the billowing smoke in the dark passage and couldn't help showing surprises on their faces. It was really difficult. They were sent here as officials. Of course, many officials still feel a sense of accomplishment in building a state yamen from scratch.

But what made them uneasy was the fact that Goryeo from the north actually harassed the county towns they ruled from time to time. Ordinarily, in this case, they should send troops and horses to fight back, but it is a pity that they can mobilize the troops and horses. There are less than a thousand people, and self-preservation is a problem, how can it be possible to fight back against Goryeo.

Many officials were worried that when they woke up, the Koryo army had already entered the city, but now, looking at the smoke and dust in the distance, everyone was completely relieved.

The name of Chu Yi, the chief executive, is unknown to anyone, and he even led the army to destroy the three great powers of Dajin, Xixia, and Tubo.

Thinking of the time when they could sleep peacefully from now on, many officials couldn't help showing anticipation when they looked at the army above the official road.

They are not qualified to see Chu Yi, so no one has seen Chu Yi at all, but now they have the opportunity to see Chu Yi's true face, it is conceivable that these people are still quite looking forward to it.

Just as these people looked at the troop of horses galloping on the official road with anticipation, they saw that the leader of the generals suddenly tightened the reins in their hands. Many officials exclaimed in fright.

Seeing the reactions of these officials, Gao Chong chuckled disdainfully, looked down at the officials who were present and said, "Where is the prefect of Changming House?"

When Mao Ang heard the words, he stepped forward and bowed to Gao Chong: "Mao Ang, the prefect of Changming House, I have seen this general, but I don't know the general..."

Gao Chong just glanced at Mao Ang and said: "Mao Ang, I will be ordered by the chief general to inform you, there is no need to welcome you here, the chief general has already led the leading army to Yongning County. All you need to do is to prepare the rations needed by the army."

I thought I would be able to see Chu Yi's style, but they never expected to wait for such news, and many officials couldn't help showing a bit of disappointment on their faces.

The ninth and thirtieth chapter respectfully invites the general manager to cross the river

However, in the face of Gao Chong's order, Mao Ang who reacted quickly responded: "General, don't worry, this government will do everything it can to raise food and grass to supply the general manager!"

Gao Chong gave Mao Ang a satisfied look and nodded slightly, "You don't have to worry about the prefect of Mao, the chief executive is just a mere Gaoli, and you can go down for ten days. By then, you won't need to wait for the supply of the army."

Under the rule of Mao Ang, it was a border town, with a vast area and sparse population. Naturally, various materials were very scarce, but they had to find a way to supply the army.

Of course, it's not that Chu Yi didn't know the situation here, so he didn't expect these border towns and prefectures to be able to supply the army for too long.

Yongning County

Now Yongning County has fallen into the hands of the Koreans. Not long ago, a team of Korean soldiers crossed the Yalu River and appeared outside Yongning County.

Yongning County has only about a hundred soldiers. It is conceivable that under this circumstance, even if Yongnian County Magistrate ordered the defense, it was just a man’s arm and a chariot, and was swept down by Gaoli’s troops.

Today, the number of soldiers and horses entrenched in Yongning County has reached more than [-] people. There are a full [-] troops stationed in a small county. It is the outpost arranged by Tuo Junjing who has received the news.

In this county, more than [-] soldiers and horses give people a nondescript feeling. In fact, these soldiers and horses look more like a group of farmers with various farm tools, knives and forks, rather than a group of soldiers fighting on the battlefield. .

The general of this army came from a powerful family of King Jing of Goryeo, and even had some blood ties with the royal family, and was named Wang Ding.

At this moment, Wang Ding was sitting proudly in Yongning County. Thinking that he had the support of the family behind him, he pulled up a team of [-] people in a short period of time.

And Tuo Junjing, as he promised, named him General Huwei, and designated Yongning County as his station.

Yongning County, as the first county seat occupied by Goryeo, in Wang Ding's opinion, Tuo Junjing assigned it to him to be stationed, which is completely a kind of value and trust for him.

In the county seat, Wang Ding said to the guards beside him: "When the order is sent, it will cheer me up. Be sure to keep an eye on me, and don't let the Song people approach the county seat carelessly."

Except for a very small number of high-level officials, few people knew about the news that Chu Yi led the army to Korea.

And Wang Ding was the one who was kept secret. Obviously, Wang Ding was just a pawn abandoned by Tuo Junjing.

The only function of such a chess piece is to warn Tuo Junjing, because Tuo Junjing has a very good understanding of these powerful children. Once Chu Yi's troops appear, Wang Ding will definitely choose to ask him for help at the first time. Then he will be able to take precautions.

Wang Ding, who had no idea that he had been regarded as a chess piece destined to be abandoned, was enjoying the feeling of being a general and giving orders.

Suddenly the earth trembled slightly, Wang Ding subconsciously said to the left and right: "What's going on, how can the mantle tremble..."

As soon as he left the government office, he saw a confidant with a pale face running towards Wang Ding and shouting loudly, "Young Master, Young Master, something bad happened..."

Looking at his trusted confidant, Wang Ding frowned and said, "Remember this is in the army, call me general."

The confidant was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "General, Song Jun, who is surrounded by darkness, is coming from outside the city, and he is about to surround the city."

When Wang Ding heard the words, his body couldn't help softening, and he almost collapsed on the ground. His face was full of panic and he said in horror, "You...are you reading it wrong? How could the army of Song people appear here."

Soon Wang Ding climbed up the city wall. Looking at the cavalry troops outside the city, which were no less than tens of thousands of people, Wang Ding collapsed to the ground.

Several of Wang Ding's cronies who were surrounded by Wang Ding saw Wang Ding's reaction, and one of them hurriedly said, "Young Master, quickly send someone to the commander for help."

When Wang Ding heard the words, he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, while you guys are not surrounded, hurry up and go to the commander to ask for help, and say Yongning County is in danger!"

As the base camp chosen by Tuo Junjing, Jingzhou, separated by a river, is less than a hundred miles away from the Yalu River, but there are tens of thousands of troops stationed there.

Of course, with the support of Li Ziqian, Tuo Junjing has formed more than [-] troops. Of course, only tens of thousands of them are really powerful. As for the others, they are more It's just a farmer who hasn't left his farm tools for a long time.

But no matter what, this is more than [-] soldiers and horses. Even if the combat effectiveness is not very good, the momentum is full.

Taking the Yalu River as the boundary, Tuo Junjing arranged heavy defenses among the many prefectures and cities along the Yalu River, and Jingzhou was the top priority.

Because Jingzhou is opposite to Changming House, Yongning County is only a hundred miles away from Jingzhou.

More than a hundred miles may seem far away, but if you really want to march, it will only take two days at most, and even if you change to cavalry, you can arrive in one day.

Now Tuo Junjing's spies have been spilled out to hundreds of people, and it can be said that all the elite spies under Tuo Junjing have been spilled out.

Just when Tuo Junjing was thinking about how to deal with the menacing army of Song Dynasty, hurried footsteps came from the huge mansion.

Tuo Junjing looked up, and it was one of his confidants who came in a hurry.

Tuo Junjing felt a sudden shock, looked at the man and said, "Jin Dazhong, you are in a hurry, could it be that there is news from Song Jun?"

In fact, from Li Ziqian, Tuo Junjing had already received the news. After all, Li Ziqian sent his family to worship the Central Plains, and he easily found out the news of Chu Yi's dispatch of troops.

When Li Ziqian got such news, he naturally wouldn't hide it from Tuo Junjing, so Tuo Junjing was mentally prepared early, and according to Tuo Junjing's prediction, if there were no accidents, Chu Yi's troops would appear soon. .

Jin Dazhong bowed to Tuo Junjing and said, "Commander, there is news from Yongning County that before the Song army has surrounded Yongning, Tiger Might General Wang Ding implores the commander to send troops to rescue."

Tuo Junjing's face sank, and he slowly let out a breath and said, "It's here, it's here after all."

While speaking, Tuo Junjing said to Jin Dazhong: "Jin Dazhong, immediately beat the drums and gather the generals, this commander has a command to convey."

Jin Dazhong was stunned, and soon the incomparably thick drum sounded, and many generals rushed to the handsome mansion when they heard the drum sound.

Almost half an hour later, almost all the generals Yiying came to the handsome mansion, and soon Tuo Junjing appeared, and everyone's eyes fell on Tuo Junjing with admiration in their eyes.

Tuo Junjing was able to command an army of more than [-] people and became a figure that Li Ziqian would be afraid of.

Glancing at the generals who responded, Tuo Junjing said slowly, "Everyone, I have very bad news to tell you."

The generals were stunned for a moment, looked at Tuo Junjing in amazement, and heard Tuo Junjing say: "The Song Dynasty wants to destroy my country of Gaoli, what do you think?"

"what?"
