"The general underestimated the enemy this time!"
Helping He Shi Liezhining to sit up, he said with some seriousness.
Heshi Liezhining nodded, "Yes, if I can pay more attention to it, even if I really encounter an ambush, I won't suffer such a disastrous defeat. Now think about it, those black warriors are just using weird methods. In fact, Nothing more than that.
There were terrain restrictions at that time, and all the roads in front and behind were blocked, so the men under my command were unable to charge at all, and those men in black were hiding everywhere and rushed directly into the formation, which is why we were defeated!"
"But, when did Goryeo have such a force?"
Shen Tang shook his head, "These people are not Koreans, but Japanese!"
"Japan?"
Heshi Liezhining was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Are you referring to that island country in the east?"
"How come their troops came to Goryeo and became enemies of our Jin Kingdom!"
Shen Tang thought for a moment, and then said with a smile, "I don't know what the reason is, maybe it's just a coincidence, but after all, it's just a small country. If it weren't for the long distance and the vast sea, there would be no way to give gold. Any obstacles arising from the country.
However, since people from Japan have come to Korea this time, our previous goals will have to change."
"This battle will not only defeat the thousands of soldiers and horses they have now, but also force the Kingdom of Goryeo to allow the Kingdom of Jin to station troops in Goryeo. In this way, not only can Goryeo be directly contained, but even if there is another attack When the Japanese troops arrive, they will not be surprised and unprepared."
Although he didn't tell He Shi Liezhining, Shen Tang had some guesses in his mind.
According to historical records, in the past few years, the Japanese mainland was not considered stable, and two large-scale turmoils occurred one after another, the 'Homoto Rebellion' and the Heiji Rebellion!
Japan in this era was an era of samurai families and groups. The contradiction between the ancient imperial power and the emerging samurai families was increasing day by day. During these two rebellions, the emerging samurai family Taira defeated their opponents and began to take power. The emperor gradually became Puppet of the Taira clan! If you want to contain the power of the Taira clan and regain its power, it is basically impossible to do it in Japan. Therefore, the emperor and his family can only look outside the mainland and unite with external forces to defeat the Taira clan. .
Japan is already overseas, so they don't have many choices. Among them, the Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom, and Goryeo are the countries closest to Japan.
Japan is no stranger to the Song Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, there were many cultural exchanges between Japan and the Central Plains. Japan's development in all aspects was deeply influenced by the culture of the Tang Dynasty. However, later, the Central Plains was turbulent in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. , exchanges with Japan were gradually cut off.
After Taizu established the Song Dynasty, there were only occasional commercial exchanges between the two countries, and formal exchanges between countries basically disappeared.
Japan is a strange country. They covet the Central Plains but are in awe of it. Therefore, unless they have to, they do not want the power of the Song Dynasty to set foot on the Japanese mainland. After all, in their view, the Song Dynasty is The power is beyond their control. Once the Song Dynasty intervenes in the struggle between various forces in Japan, both the Taira clan and the Emperor's family will lose control.
As for the Kingdom of Jin, they treated it with a bit of disdain and even contempt.
Compared with the thousands of years of accumulation and culture of the Central Plains, the Jin Kingdom was nothing more than a barbarian in the eyes of Japan! The Jin Kingdom may have been somewhat powerful, but compared to its awe of the Song Dynasty, Japan did not regard the Jin Kingdom as a
The barbarians from the white mountains and black waters are in my eyes.
And Goryeo is the best choice for Japan.
Although today's Goryeo has gradually declined, compared to a small country like Japan, its power cannot be underestimated. If we can unite with the Goryeo Kingdom, or even use the power of the Goryeo Kingdom to suppress the Ping family, it will naturally be an excellent way.
The most important thing is that they are not afraid of the power of Goryeo causing waves in Japan.
Goryeo and Japan are neighboring countries, and the exchanges and disputes between the two countries have almost never been interrupted. Therefore, Japan is convinced that the current Goryeo does not have enough power to make them feel out of control.
Against this background, the Emperor of Japan sent a secret and intimate force across the ocean to the Kingdom of Koryo.
Goryeo was not surprised by the arrival of the Japanese envoys. Moreover, after thinking about it, the people in power in Goryeo put forward their own conditions first, that is, Japan would first help Goryeo occupy the Liaodong area of the Jin Kingdom.
As long as their goal is achieved, Korea will send a large army to Japan to help the Japanese Emperor suppress the Taira clan.
The two parties hit it off immediately, and then Goryeo once again sent some border troops to provoke the Jin Kingdom as it did before! In the eyes of both of them, as long as the Jin Kingdom is afraid of fighting in the first battle, then the Liaodong area will
, will naturally fall into the hands of Koryo.
Jin Guo did not know the inside story, and he fell into the trap.
Heshi Liezhining led thousands of soldiers and horses to chase the remnants of the Koryo Kingdom. The main troops and Japanese samurai in the Koryo Kingdom bypassed the land passage with the help of Japanese ships.
They landed at Donggaoli Bay, then fought their way to the rear of the Jin Kingdom's troops, and made arrangements in advance.
With the help of the strange methods of the Japanese samurai, they hid in the transportation thoroughfare where the Jin soldiers and horses returned, waiting only for the arrival of the Jin soldiers and horses.
Sure enough, when the Jin soldiers and horses returned, their defenses were extremely lax and they stepped into their encirclement.
And next, there was the disastrous defeat of He Shilie Zhining.
Heshi Liezhining did not know the situation in Japan at this time, but Shen Tang had foresight, so he could basically guess the cause of the matter.
Hearing Shen Tang's words, Heshi Liezhining nodded, "That's right! Gao Li really needs to be taught a lesson!"
After that, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's just that our troops are too few now! There are only two to three thousand people in total. It may not be realistic to fight all the way to the capital."
Although Goryeo is small in area, its military strength cannot be underestimated. Back then, when the Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo, almost all the country's forces were mobilized but failed, and Taizong's conquest of Goryeo did not gain much benefit.
Although there are reasons for each, it is enough to show that Goryeo is not a soft persimmon.
The current Goryeo state has a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses! One hundred thousand of them are local troops stationed in various places and are commanded by military governors. The remaining 50,000 are the central army, commanded by generals and generals, stationed in the capital of Kaijing.
