Chapter 4458: The Princess of Korea Hidden Disloyalty
When all the generals clasped their fists in salute and left the handsome manor, Liu Jingxuan turned around and was about to leave, but Liu Yu suddenly said: "Ah Shou, please stay, I have something else to ask you."
Liu Jingxuan stopped, and all the scribes and guards in the palace also left wisely. Only Liu Yu and Liu Jingxuan were left in the huge handsome manor. Liu Jingxuan turned around and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say alone,
Yeah, didn’t I just say everything that needs to be said?”
Liu Yu's expression became serious, which made Liu Jingxuan also put away his smile and frowned: "What's wrong? Is it still because of Han Fan? Fatty told you before."
Liu Yu shook his head, looked at the crowd who had gone out and disappeared at the second gate, and said: "Why did Gao Yunyan go and come back? Who informed her or invited her to come?"
Liu Jingxuan was slightly startled: "Didn't it follow the original agreement that the first batch of transactions started half a month ago?"
Liu Yu said coldly: "But for that transaction volume, fifty ships are enough. Is it necessary to bring three hundred ships and five thousand soldiers and horses? She is here to trade, or she wants to attack the city.
From the ground?”
Liu Jingxuan slapped his forehead: "Yeah, why did I ignore this? I was a little strange at the time, so I asked the fat man, and then Gao Yunyan said, this is to prevent the fleets of Baekje and Japan from intercepting on the sea road.
, so we added a escort warship fleet. Fatty didn’t ask any more questions, and the matter just passed."
Liu Yu sighed: "When Han Fan's house was confiscated and he was interrogated to plead guilty, was the foreign country he colluded with, the Later Qin, the Northern Wei, or Goguryeo?"
Liu Jingxuan suddenly understood: "I was not involved in the interrogation. I have also read the final charges. They only said that they colluded with the Later Qin Dynasty and had contacts with the Northern Wei Dynasty. The names of the envoys were all listed. Oh, by the way.
He even colluded with Sima Guofan."
Liu Yu nodded: "Later Qin is an open enemy country, Sima Guofan is a traitor known to the world, and the Northern Wei Dynasty also has a tense relationship with us because of He Lanmin. These three are all enemy countries or quasi-enemy countries.
Talking about colluding with foreign countries can be used to convict people, but with Han Fan's shrewdness, if he wants to collude with foreign countries, he will not only look for these few. Since Goguryeo has contact with us, then Goguryeo, Beiyan in Liaodong, and even Baekje and Japan
, I think he will have friends."
Liu Jingxuan opened his eyes wide: "How can this guy's power be so extensive? I don't really believe it."
Liu Yu said coldly: "The last time we attacked Nanyan, it was like this. When Guanggu was about to be besieged and fell, Gao Yunyan suddenly appeared, and he also brought two to three hundred warships and nearly ten thousand sergeants.
, this force, when we were at a stalemate with Nanyan, was definitely a decisive force. No matter which side we joined, it might affect the outcome of the war. With this, he could sell Goguryeo at a price, and even from
It is not a problem for Nan Yan to cut off one or two ports and take away tens of thousands of people."
Liu Jingxuan gritted his teeth: "What a Goguryeo girl, it turns out that I have other friends here all the time. Calculating this, it will take at least two months for them to go from Goguryeo to Nanyan from reorganizing the army to preparing ships and then setting sail.
That is to say......"
Liu Yu said calmly: "Two months before Guanggu was captured, Han Fan secretly left the city to take over Zhang Gang's mission to the Later Qin Dynasty. Only in this way could he have the opportunity to send signals outside to find foreign aid. I think
, he should have looked for more than one family. On the surface, he was on a mission to Hou Qin, but in fact, he should have looked for all the friends he could find. However, in the end, the only one who came actively was Goguryeo. Even Beiyan
No troops and horses were sent across the sea to help."
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "Yes, but Beiyan usurped the throne for the Feng family and killed the Murong family. They have become enemies with Nanyan for a long time. It is normal not to come. But why does Goguryeo actively want to bleed?
I really can’t figure out this muddy water.”
Liu Yu shook his head: "It's actually simple if you think about it. Goguryeo is a vast country with few people. The country is strong and warlike, and it is constantly fighting foreign wars. When Qian Yan first emerged, he fought with Goguryeo. The fight was better than fighting Shi Zhao or Ran.
Min still had to work hard. Later, when he was still a boy, Murong Chui and Murong Ke, the king of Taiyuan, joined forces to defeat Goguryeo, forcing it to retreat to the south of the Yalu River and no longer be able to invade by land. Over the years, Goguryeo also
It once quietly developed northward and swallowed up some tribes in Liao and even Sushen areas for expansion, but it never dared to directly conflict with Hou Yan and Northern Yan. After all, there were few people in the country. If the army was defeated, the country would be destroyed.
risk."
"Therefore, it is very difficult and dangerous for Goguryeo to expand westward to the Liao region. As for going south, fighting Baekje and Silla has been going back and forth for hundreds of years, and it is unlikely that the opponent will be destroyed all at once. So it is best
The direction of expansion is instead the land of Qilu."
"Before, Nanyan occupied the land of Qilu in Qingzhou and had strong soldiers and horses. Murong's cavalry was also famous all over the world. It would have been good if they did not cross the sea to attack them. How could they dare to take the initiative to invade the land of Qilu? But since the Jin Dynasty conquered Yan and defeated the Xianbei cavalry
They were all dressed up, so Goguryeo had other thoughts and wanted to take the opportunity to get a share of the pie in Qingzhou."
Liu Jingxuan laughed: "I see, how could they be so loyal and come to pay tribute all of a sudden? You and the fat man should have seen all this, right?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, Fatty and I have discussed it a long time ago. Goguryeo people are warlike, but they lack heavy armored cavalry. Therefore, when fighting the Murong clan, they were defeated in the field and could only rely on bows and arrows to defend quickly.
The city was on standby. When Nanyan was destroyed, they came over immediately, or in other words, they wanted to come over before Nanyan was destroyed. I am afraid they wanted to help Nanyan defend the city and make us withdraw our troops, so as to reach a deal with Black Robe. So
, what they really want, first of all, is not scholars and scholars, but armored cavalry."
Liu Jingxuan raised his eyebrows: "But when Gao Yunyan came last time, he didn't mention the matter of armored cavalry."
Liu Yu sighed: "That's because we captured Guanggu in advance and destroyed Nanyan. She probably also knew that we would never be able to defeat Goguryeo with all our armor and cavalry, so she settled for the next best thing and wanted to slave and capture the population. These
Aren’t the prisoner-of-war slaves the knights of the Yan Army, or the craftsmen who built the armored cavalry?”
Liu Jingxuan suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder you refused to give them a single person last time, but sent some food and the like. So, this time they heard that you came back to suppress the rebellion, and they immediately sent 300 large ships.
, could it be that Han Fan also invited him, or even had a different intention to seize Qingzhou?"
