July 21st, Liaoyang Mansion.

Gao Qingyi hurried to the Yamen of Tongjunsi.

"The scouts ahead reported that the Song army has new movements."

Wanyan Xiyin quickly said: "What's the new trend?"

"The Song army has sent troops to attack Goryeo!"

"Seriously?" Wanyan Xiyin stood up, looking shocked.

"The scout saw dozens of large ships leaving with his own eyes!"

"Did the Duli City not be captured by the Koreans at that time?"

Gao Qingyi smiled awkwardly and said, "It depends on the situation."

"Korean people are so frivolous and impetuous!" Wanyan Xiyin's expression turned cold. "You just surrendered to our dynasty and yet you dared to lie to us. You are so courageous!"

"The top priority now is to weigh the situation among the three kingdoms. It has been confirmed that the Song Dynasty will march eastward to conquer Goryeo. What should we do at this time?"

Wanyan Xiyin said: "How is Fuzhou's city defense?"

"We can't be sure yet," Gao Qingyi said.

Wanyan Xiyin started walking back and forth: "The Song army dared to advance eastward rashly. They may have been prepared. They should immediately send people to explore the Fuzhou city defense."

"What if Fuzhou's city defenses are empty?"

"If Fuzhou's city defenses are empty, we should send troops immediately!" Wanyan Xiyin said.

"But now that the two countries are negotiating for peace, if war breaks out again, the newly built market may be affected, and the country will suffer great losses. It will be difficult for us to explain to the court!"

"Compared to regaining Fuzhou and driving the Song army completely away from Liaodong, those businesses are nothing!" Wanyan Xiyin said, "Do you know that the current government has to raise 100,000 troops in Liaoyang every year to relieve the Song army from being here?

Threat! A year's military expenditure costs one million guan! Ten years is 10 million guan! Moreover, the Song Army may increase its manpower in Fuzhou at any time, and we will have no choice but to follow suit. This is a bottomless pit!"

Gao Qingyi sighed and said, "This is all the fault of that damn Wan Yanchang!"

"It's useless to talk more now. Send scouts quickly to investigate the real situation in Fuzhou."

"What about Goryeo?" Gao Qingyi suddenly said, "Song's army is attacking Goryeo. Goryeo may not be able to support it for long. Do we want to support it?"

"Send an envoy to Goryeo to mediate the war!"

"What if Song Jun doesn't listen to us?"

"Our purpose is not to make the Song Army listen to us, but to show it to Goryeo. If the Song Army continues to attack Goryeo, it will be better for us! Our original intention is to let the Song Army attack Goryeo and consume the Song Army's strength in Liaodong!

"

"What if the Song army captures Kaijing?"

"Goryeo is not that easy to fight. Back then, the Liao Kingdom conquered Goryeo three times but failed to destroy the country."

"I understand."

Gao Qingyi immediately went down and made arrangements according to Wanyan Xiyin's instructions.

At noon on July 21st, we opened the capital city.

A large number of Song troops poured into the city, and the Korean imperial guards in the city were scattered in various streets and alleys to resist the Song army's attack.

However, this counterattack has little effect.

Zhao Chen's crossbow battalion had shot and killed hundreds of Goryeo soldiers on the central street. He wiped the sweat from his face, saw the desperate expressions of the Goryeo people around him, and said in a tone he couldn't understand:

"Don't kill us, we surrender..."

There were noisy sounds from the street ahead. Zhao Chen walked through the alley and walked to another street, where he saw some Song Army soldiers snatching women from poor people's homes.

War is very cruel, and the military is even more anti-human. It requires people to refuse to fear death and to obey absolutely.

What's even more frightening is that during the battle, the dangerous emotions caused by the two armies fighting to the death were like flash floods and tsunamis, inundating everyone and making everyone become manic.

As a commander-in-chief, you have to acquiesce in allowing those below to obtain some benefits in private to vent the pent-up anger in their hearts after victory.

Zhao Chen didn't quite understand this before, but after spending two years in Liaodong, he has realized it deeply.

He did not stop the soldiers from snatching women.

In other words, in Zhao Chen's eyes, women themselves are also a social resource, and they are the spoils of the winner.

According to the rules of ancient productivity, in order to attack the defeated party as quickly as possible, it was usually to rob their women and then execute the strong men.

But Zhao Chen had different ideas.

In the afternoon, after most of the resistance of the Korean army on the street was crushed, Zhao Chen returned to the commander's camp, where Qin Hui was discussing issues with Han Shizhong.

Ordinary people will definitely not be able to get in and out smoothly, but Zhao Chen's identity is very special.

"At present, Tokyo Post, Hangzhou Donghai Trading Co., Dengzhou Shipping Trading Co., Ltd., even Jingdong Grain Storage Trading Co., Ltd., the Military and Political Department, and private shipyards have all received orders!" Qin Hui said, "Even a batch of grain heading north from Champa City has been received.

Order, continue northward and dock at Goryeo!"

Qin Hui's tone was a little excited: "The imperial court has reorganized the internal yamen and state-owned trading companies in the past two years. Why! The reason is that if one day, the frontline troops want to go on an expedition, they must move! This is what His Majesty the Emperor has given to all of you on the frontline.

An explanation! Good minister, are you telling me now that you want to return to the capital and support the King of Korea?"

Han Shizhong said: "The leader of Koryo has escaped. Koryo is very mountainous. Who knows where he has gone? It is not an easy task to capture him. If Koryo is in the South China Sea, I will naturally have the patience to destroy it, but

To the north is the Kingdom of Jin, and the Jin army will soon learn that we are sending troops to Goryeo. If our army is wasted in Goryeo for a long time, it will be detrimental to the land of Fuzhou!"

Han Shizhong's concerns are naturally justified.

He continued: "This betrayal of Goryeo was instigated by the Jin people. Even our crusade against Goryeo was expected by them. The longer we stay in Goryeo, the more disadvantageous it will be to us. Compared with a person who has always

Goryeo resisted, and Fuzhou's strategic position was even higher!"

"Good minister, I have already told you that the imperial court will continue to import supplies here."

"Xiangong Qin, this is not an option. The imperial court's supplies are also limited. If a large amount of supplies are imported and the purpose is not achieved, the ministers may no longer be willing to continue to transport supplies." Han Shizhong said calmly and objectively, "

If the conquest of Goryeo consumes too much of our Song Dynasty, how can we fight against the Jin Kingdom?"

"There are a thousand ships in the South China Sea. As long as His Majesty gives an order, the Shipping Department can continue to ask those merchant ships to transport supplies from the South China Sea. Is it enough to pile up several mountains in front of you, Han Shizhong? This is what His Majesty said personally.

Yes, I will give you as much as you want, and swallow Goryeo! This is related to the subsequent battle to destroy Xia!"

"His Majesty is in Tokyo. As the frontline coach, I must make the most objective decision calmly."

"If you change the order given to you by the imperial court, you will lose your title as Liaodong Economic Envoy. Think of Guo Kui who conquered Jiaozhi back then!"

"Also." Qin Hui sighed, "If I don't swallow Goryeo, my head will be hanging on the top of Tokyo City after I go back!"
Chapter completed!
