"Shut up! If you continue to work as a lobbyist for the enemy general, I will definitely kill you!" Cai Renyuan was so angry that his vision turned black, he slapped the table and shouted loudly.
"I will obey your orders!" Huangfu Gong and Che Li had already finished saying what they needed to say. They bowed decisively and did not dare to make any more noise.
Looking at Cai Renyuan, he had long forgotten to spread the buttocks of Huangfu Gong and Che Li, holding his hands on the desk, panting like an ox.
If Han Qing was just trying to sow discord, he wouldn't be so angry.
The key is that every word of what Han Qing just relayed through Huangfu Gong and Che Li is true.
Cai Renyuan has trained the navy for the Goryeo Kingdom for more than 20 years. On the surface, he seems to be trusted by the Queen Mother and the King of Goryeo, and he holds a high position of authority.
In fact, to this day, in the eyes of Goryeo monarchs and ministers, he is still an outsider.
When he fled across the sea to Goryeo, bearing the hatred of his country and his family, Cai Renyuan didn't know Goryeo well at all.
He once had a wishful thinking that apart from the language, Goryeo was similar to the Southern Tang, Southern Chu and Southern Han in other aspects.
In his time, whether the generals of Southern Chu and Southern Han defected to Southern Tang, or the princes of Southern Tang defected to Southern Chu, or even crossed the river to defect to Northern Zhou, they would all be warmly accepted by the other party.
The defector will soon blend in with the person he is defecting to, and no one will remember where he came from.
What Cai Renyuan could not have imagined at that time was that there was such a huge difference in the minds of the Korean people and the Central Plains people.
For twenty years, he tried his best but couldn't get in.
He speaks Korean dialect, wears Korean clothes, and looks like a native Korean.
He even specially married a Goryeo wife to satisfy the two kings of Goryeo.
However, the effect was very limited.
The kings and ministers of Goryeo appreciated his talent, recognized his ability, and expected him to lead the Goryeo navy to fulfill the dream that generations of Goryeo kings had dreamed of. However, they never really trusted him.
If Cai Renyuan wants to take revenge, he must show his abilities to the kings and ministers of Goryeo, so that the latter will feel that his talents can be used. And the stronger the abilities he shows, the more protection he will receive.
This was an unsolvable situation. For more than 20 years, he could only pretend not to notice the suspicion of the Goryeo monarchs and ministers about him, and try his best to forget all the unpleasantness.
However, today, Han Qing shattered the illusion he had carefully maintained with just two sentences.
"No matter how much I hate the Song Dynasty, I can't become a Korean."
"What if one day the Song Dynasty negotiates peace with Goryeo?"
"Commander, calm down. Han Qing has always been treacherous. He said these things to you through the mouth of General Huangfu. He may not have good intentions!" As the saying goes, the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. Seeing Cai Renyuan, he was so angry that he was thrown into chaos and his own soldiers were all dizzy.
Cai Liang couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.
"Well -" Cai Renyuan forced himself to calm down and nodded thoughtfully, "What you said is true. I won't be fooled by him."
Then, he gritted his teeth and slammed the table once, "Huangfu Gong, Che Li, tell me the truth about how you two lost to Han Qing!"
"So many people got their money back earlier than the two of us. I don't believe you haven't asked?" Huangfu Gong and Che Li resisted in their hearts. However, they did not dare to add fuel to the fire. They agreed and began to organize their words.
.
As the commanders of the squadron, the two of them certainly knew how they lost. However, when reporting, they couldn't just tell the truth.
Their processing and smearing made them look less incompetent. They made themselves look like they were defeated by Han Qing and were knocked unconscious by Han Qing before being captured alive. They couldn't just surrender by saying they hadn't been beaten.
