Chapter 629 The Jin Army Goes South to Korea
No one can accurately predict the direction in which things will develop.
The various participants in an event are located in different places, the reality they face at that time is different, and the information they receive is also different.
And this information is not static, but may change at any time.
In a world where several participants face more uncertain information changes, naturally there is no one person who can calculate the direction of the development of the entire situation.
At most, they can deduce several possible scenarios for the incident and formulate several different strategies.
But even so, there is a certain probability that it is completely different from expectations.
The fundamental reason is that each participant has his own will, and through changes at the time, he will behave contrary to the pre-planned behavior.
After countless combinations of changing behaviors, a completely unexpected result was formed.
Therefore, when decision-makers make decisions, it is by no means that everything is under control as those armchair scholars say.
But those in power are often superstitious that through their own power, they can cover everything and make everything follow their own designs.
Obviously, the decision-makers of the Jin Kingdom could not escape this law.
The series of events that occurred in Goryeo in a short period of time completely exceeded the expectations of the top leaders of the Jin Kingdom.
The distance from the Yalu River to Liaoyang is steep and steep.
It wasn't until November 19th that the news was quickly delivered to Liaoyang Mansion and placed on Wanyan Xiyin's desk.
After reading this emergency report, Wanyan Xiyin's face instantly turned livid.
People outside the house suddenly heard curses coming from inside, as well as the sound of tables and chairs being smashed.
"Stupid pigs! The Koreans are all a bunch of stupid pigs! A bunch of stupid pigs who can't be helped!"
"Being beaten to pieces by the Song Army in such a short time in our own country! Not even a pig can do it! But the Koreans did it!"
"..."
This curse lasted as long as a cup of tea.
Until Gao Qingyi arrived.
This was the first time Gao Qingyi saw Wanyan Xiyin, who had always been calm and composed, lose such a temper. When he walked in, he saw the mess on the ground and asked carefully: "Shangguan, what happened?"
Wanyan Xiyin stood there and squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "What a good thing those stupid pigs from Goryeo did!"
Gao Qingyi walked over and picked up the urgent report on the table. After reading it, his face darkened.
"Even stupid pigs can do better than them!" Gao Qingyi was also trembling with anger.
Such a great situation has actually turned into this?
You know, Goryeo fought on its own territory!
And it has already submitted to the Jin Kingdom, which means that the Jin Kingdom has a high probability of sending troops to help Goryeo.
At this time, it is even more important to fight a protracted war on the mainland, firstly to consume the Song army, and secondly to wait for the support of the Jin Kingdom.
But damn, the Koreans just destroyed a good hand of cards in a few months.
How many months had it been since the Song army conquered Goryeo?
In three months, Jin Fushi gave away most of the troops in Kaijing and even the south!
I can’t help him up!
It's snowing outside, and the stove inside is burning brightly.
After a long silence, Gao Qingyi said: "Shangguan, please send troops."
"Send troops to Korea?"
"Yes, send troops to Goryeo." Gao Qingyi sighed, "If we sit back and ignore it and give the Song Army time, Goryeo will be completely controlled by the Song State. By then, the Song Army will set up another military town on the Yalu River, and we will have to send more troops
Military power moved eastward again."
This is a terrible thing.
You must know that the most valuable territory is in Hebei and the Yanyun area. There are a large number of plains there. It is also the real strategic buffer zone of the Song and Jin Dynasties, and it is also the bridgehead for the Jin Dynasty to move south.
Once Goryeo is controlled by Zhao Ning, the Jin Kingdom will be forced to push a large amount of domestic resources eastward.
The Jin Kingdom is now in the early stages of restructuring, centralization of power has not yet been completed, and there are many great nobles in the country.
These big nobles control important resources such as population, land, army, money, etc. If a military town is to be set up along the Yalu River, who will be mobilized?
Who wants to go to that place?
This is obviously not just a matter of strategic resource allocation, but also an issue of internal political interests.
If we don't go, what should we do if the Song army builds several military towns along the Yalu River and then attacks Liaoyang Prefecture along the mountain road at intervals?
It would be okay if there was only a threat from the Song army on this side of the Yalu River. The problem is that Fuzhou was also occupied by the Song army.
Liaodong can be said to be attacked from both sides.
Wanyan Xiyin said: "Shall we send troops to Goryeo to fight the Song army head-on?"
"Yes, hit him head-on."
"Of course I am willing to send troops to defeat the Song Dynasty." Wanyan Xiyin calmed down and sighed, "But soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival."
He continued: "If the situation in Goryeo develops smoothly, the Song army is dragged into the quagmire of war, and the Xixia people are willing to go south, it will naturally be an excellent opportunity to attack the Song Dynasty, and there is no need to worry about the market, so that you can quickly gain more
Interests."
"And now, if we send troops to Goryeo, not only will we not be able to gain any profit from the war in a short period of time, but we may also cause the Song Dynasty to cancel many negotiations."
"After the war is cancelled, the aristocratic bureaucrats in the country will have emotions. If the war goes well, it will be fine. If the war goes badly, big problems will arise internally."
Wanyan Xiyin sat down, feeling tired.
He's right.
He is a militant, but not an idiot.
Before going to war, you need to build momentum and create the situation that is most beneficial to you, and then send troops.
Rather than just slap your head and say you want to fight!
"Shangguan is worried too much. This situation is not unsolvable." Gao Qingyi said, "Korea is a vassal state of our country and pays tribute to His Majesty the Emperor. Our country has the obligation to protect Goryeo. When Goryeo faces threats, it is only natural for our country to send troops.
.”
"The Song Dynasty also considered Goryeo to be their vassal state."
"The Song Dynasty is wrong. Goryeo is our vassal state." Gao Qingyi emphasized again, "It is justifiable for our country to send troops to Goryeo."
"After dispatching troops, start a fight directly with the Song army?"
"After the troops were sent out, they said that the Xixia people were plotting a rebellion. They captured Xijing first, supported our forces in Xijing, and recruited Koreans to go south to attack King Qin in Jing!" Gao Qingyi said, "As for whether there are any of our people among King Qin's troops who went south.
That’s not what we have the final say. The worst we can do is change the flag, so won’t my court no longer have to fight the Song Dynasty?”
Gao Qingyi added again: "Condensing the war situation within the country of Goryeo, supporting more Goryeo people to fight against the Song army, and prolonging the Goryeo war situation. By this time, the Xixia people should have already learned the news, and the Xixia people will never let go.
An opportunity to return to Yinzhou! Once the Xixia people send troops, the Song Dynasty will still return to fighting on the east and west fronts."
Wanyan Xiyin was stunned for a moment, looked at Gao Qingyi, and couldn't help but nodded.
"Then when the war continues for a while, the Song Dynasty will be exhausted from fighting on both fronts!" Wanyan Xiyin said.
"That's right, at that time, the fighter planes to go south to attack the Song Dynasty were mature."
"That's it. Send an order to Wan Yan immediately to leave the country and go south to Xijing to help Korea put down the rebellion! You can arrange this!"
"yes!"
After Gao Qingyi left, Wanyan Xiyin quickly wrote a letter to Wanyan Zonghan who was in Beijing.
Chapter completed!
