North Korea

On the other side, Jia Heng came to the port under the guard of the Jinyi Mansion. It was winter at this time, and the area was at a high latitude. Looking around, the wind was like a knife, and bare sycamore branches could be seen standing alone.

Standing there, shivering in the cold wind.

Gu Ruoqing's crystal clear eyes glanced over the white snow on the land, stared into the distance, and said warmly: "Is this North Korea?"

Jia Heng looked at the beauty beside him, smiled and said, "Is this the first time Ruo Qing has come here too?"

Gu Ruoqing's face paused slightly, and when she heard what the young man said for the first time, she felt a little bit of shame deep in her heart.

He whispered: "It's my first time here, but it's no different from a big man."

Jia Heng said: "Originally, we have the same culture, so there is nothing to say."

Gu Ruoqing stared at the young man in python suit under her beautiful willow eyebrows and said, "What are your plans next?"

"Here we come." Jia Heng said nothing, just looked into the distance and whispered.

At this moment, the local North Korean officials, accompanied by a group of servants, came quickly and looked at the young man in python suit accompanied by a group of royal guards.

"I have seen the great Han Dynasty Duke Wei." At this time, several Korean officials led a group of retinues, came quickly, and said with cupped hands.

Jia Heng said: "Everyone, please get up."

The leading official called him Xi Shou'an, the governor of Qingzhou. He was actually forty years old and slightly fat. He cupped his hands and said, "Dong Wei, I will send a fast horse to the governor of the state right now."

Jia Heng said warmly: "Previously, I have sent the guards of Jinyi Palace to inform your country."

Xi Shou'an said in a loud voice: "Duke Wei, please come to the city to speak."

Jia Heng nodded and said: "You guys will lead the way."

The North Korean official then led a group of followers and led the way.

Then, the Han soldiers and horses entered the city in a mighty manner.

Under Gu Ruoqing's delicate and bright willow eyebrows, her cold eyes wandered around.

Jia Heng stared at the veteran minister and said, "Mr. Xifu, please tell me about the current situation in North Korea."

Xi Shou'an said: "To be honest, Duke Wei, the puppet rebels are now in Seoul with the support of the Jurchens and want to confront our coalition forces for a long time."

Jia Heng asked: "Have there been any fights before?"

"The Council sent out soldiers and horses, and after several battles with the soldiers and horses in the Seoul Mansion." Xi Shou'an paused slightly, shook his head, and said in a clear voice: "But the situation is not good, and we haven't seen the slightest advantage. The main reason is

The Jurchens are too fierce, and they have opened their eyes for a few people."

Jia Heng said: "The Jurchen soldiers and horses are easy to deal with. My big man has defeated the Jurchen elite several times before. Haizhou and Gaizhou have been recovered. The soldiers and horses can fight to the death with them this time."

Xi Shou'an looked excited and said with emotion: "Master Wang has arrived, and Korea will be saved."

As time went by, the victory of the Han army in Gaizhou and Haizhou gradually spread to North Korea, which greatly inspired the confidence of North Korean military and civilian officials.

Jia Heng said: "North Korea is a vassal country of the Han Dynasty. The two countries have vowed to be in good terms forever. It is the responsibility and obligation of my suzerain country to save North Korea from fire and water."

With a smile on his face, Xi Shou'an said with a hint of flattery: "I have prepared a small banquet, and I would like to ask Mr. Wei Guogong and Mr. Jin to move over. Let's eat and talk."

Jia Heng followed Xi Shou'an slowly to the back house. Jia Heng slowly sat down, with a look of thought on his resolute face.

Gu Ruoqing, with a beautiful face, sneered: "The Korean soldiers are so unfit for battle that one hundred thousand soldiers can hardly defeat ten thousand Jurchens, and they are patrolling without daring to look north."

"This is what the soldiers of a small country are like. Moreover, the elite combat power of the Jurchen Eight Banners is indeed first-class in the world." Jia Heng chuckled and said: "In the past, the Nine-Border Frontier Army also shrank when faced with the Jurchen Tiger and Wolf Division.

Not coming out.”

He is really using what Lao Li said now. When he came to the new regiment, there were only a few people and few guns.

Gu Ruoqing twisted her eyebrows and said, "It seems to have happened in the past few years."

To be precise, after the man in front of me took over the military affairs of the entire Han Dynasty, everything changed. He almost single-handedly turned the tide from collapse.

As for regulating rivers, patrolling salt, and opening seas, almost every one of them is helping the man to survive with his own efforts.

Anyone with insight can clearly feel this tremendous change from a crumbling country to a country that is booming.

As one of the White Lotus Saints, Gu Ruoqing was naturally able to detect this change.

People's lives have begun to improve.

Jia Heng said warmly: "Let's not talk about this anymore."

Speaking like this, it seems like showing off oneself.

Under Gu Ruoqing's curved eyebrows, her beautiful eyes stared intently, looking quietly at the young man in the python suit, his eyes gradually becoming infatuated.

…

…

The next day, in the morning, rays of warm sunlight shone on the snow-covered ground, and a branch could be seen reflected on the snow.

The bone-chilling wind blew the snow on the eaves, and the fine snow powder could be seen flying lightly, and the carved hollow windows reflected the bright and clear shadows.

In the hall, Jia Heng had just finished breakfast and was reading a book. Suddenly, a guard in Jinyi walked a few steps quickly and came in to report: "Captain, Deputy Li Qianhu is back."

Jia Heng asked: "Where is he now?"

The Jinyifu guard said: "Go back to the governor, just outside the county government office."

Jia Heng waved his hand and said: "After I change my clothes, I will go over there."

At this time, Gu Ruoqing walked out of the inner compartment, wearing a beautifully embroidered flying fish suit, and said, "The envoy from North Korea has arrived?"

Jia Heng said warmly: "We're here, I'll go take a look."

"I'll go with you." Gu Ruoqing's cold and jade face had a faint expression.

Jia Heng nodded and did not refuse. Then, without saying much, he walked quickly towards the hall.

At this moment, Jin Yu was sitting on the pearwood chair in the hall, on the coffee table beside him. The tea cup was filled with hot air, exuding bursts of fragrance.

At this moment, the guards of the Jinyi Palace raised their hands and shouted: "The Duke of Wei has arrived!"

Jin Yu, who was sitting, had a facelift, stood up, and looked at the boy in the python suit.

At first glance, one can feel that the young man in python suit is so majestic. Under his sword-shaped brows, his eyes are full of inexplicable color.

Jin Yu cupped his hands and said warmly: "Jin Yu, the lower official, has met Duke Wei. The monarch is young and it is inconvenient to come. I hope Duke Wei will forgive me."

In fact, this was a little trick played by Jin Yu. It was to let Jia Heng go to see the King of North Korea, at least in addition to the national gift, it would be much cheaper.

Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked at the old man with gray hair and although his face was a bit older, he was still energetic. He stretched out his hand to help him twice and said loudly: "Jin Yizheng doesn't need to be polite, please get up."

In fact, this man was also a famous official in the Hyojong Dynasty of Joseon.

Then, the two people began to sit down respectively, and began to talk.

Jin Yu smiled and said, "May I ask how many heavenly soldiers Duke Wei has brought this time?"

Jia Heng said warmly: "I only brought 10,000 navy troops."

Jin Yu was very good at talking. He was a little surprised and then complimented him: "The Duke of Wei personally led his troops, and he can serve as a hundred thousand soldiers!"

Jia Heng's face paused slightly and he said loudly: "The most difficult thing to solve is Obai's 10,000 soldiers and horses, who are all under a team of elite soldiers and horses. Besides, I heard that 20,000 soldiers and horses were just dispatched from Japan.

In this way, we also have an advantage in terms of military strength."

Jin Yu's old face showed a look of thought, and he nodded and said: "We arrived at Jeolla Road the day before yesterday. During this time, troops and horses should be sent here."

Thirty thousand soldiers and horses plus a powerful Weiguo Gong to help Korea recover is indeed enough.

Jia Heng said softly: "After a day of rest, I will go to Chungju to meet the son of the King of Joseon tomorrow."

The king of Korea was not considered a king until he was canonized.

Jin Yu was clearly aware of what the young man said, and his old eyes flickered, feeling incomprehensible.

At this moment, Xi Shou'an said in a low voice: "Master Jin, I have prepared a small banquet. Please go to the side hall to use it."

Jia Heng said loudly: "Let's eat the food first. Mr. Jin will also introduce me to the current situation in North Korea."

Jin Yu nodded, then quickly walked to the side hall without saying much.

The two of them sat down, and Jia Heng, as a distinguished member of the Celestial Kingdom, was sitting in the main seat at this moment.

Jia Heng nodded and said: "I just mentioned to Mr. Xi Fu that the puppet dynasty entrenched in Wangjing now has 100,000 soldiers and horses, relying on the Jurchens. The Korean soldiers and horses have been defeated in many battles before.

, but I don’t know why?”

Jin Yu looked solemn and said: "Previously, the Jurchens did not have 10,000 soldiers and horses, but tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. When Obai led the army and defeated the three coalition forces, he probably had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. The three coalition forces were defeated.

It led to a rout. After that, the troops and horses that were reorganized were not as elite as the first time. On the Jurchen side, they recruited many troops and horses in Seoul Prefecture, all from Xianjing Road, Ping'an Road, and Huanghae Road.

Soldiers of the same clan."

There are eight provinces in North Korea: Hamgyeong Province, Pyongan Province, Hwanghae Province, Gyeonggi Province, Chungcheong Province, Gyeongsang Province, and Jeolla Province.

Jia Heng said loudly: "So, now it is a confrontation between the two parties, can there be a fight?"

"There has been no fighting during this period." Jin Yu shook his head and said in a clear voice: "The king's intention is to restore the country from the south to the north. We also ask Duke Wei and the Han soldiers and horses to help us. Korea will always be the Han Dynasty.

The country of vassals will never betray."
