Chapter 1252: The Soldier Approaches Outside Beijing
Chapter 1252: When the troops arrive outside the capital, Wang Xi, the King of Goryeo
"Commander, the Jin people have already taken action. Niufeng County and Changtuan County did not cause any hindrance to them and fell directly into their hands.
However, after inspection, they found that they did not leave many soldiers and horses in these two cities, and there should only be a few hundred people in Niufeng County."
"Now, the entire Niufeng County is sealed off and no one is allowed to enter or exit!"
In Zheng Zhongfu's camp, the generals eagerly reported to Zheng Zhongfu.
"good!"
Zheng Zhongfu slammed the table hard and said, "Instruct all troops and horses to advance carefully and make sure there are no omissions. I will personally lead my troops to block this Niufeng County."
However, now is not the time for us to take action.
They should be heading towards Kaijing now, and it’s time for the adults in the court to get anxious."
"After one day, we will attack Niufeng County again! Tell the soldiers under your command that when the war begins and the three armies are ordered to serve, I will capture Niufeng County within half a day and open the way to Kaijing!"
"The imperial court has always looked down on us warriors. This time, I will let them know that in real time, those so-called adults are of no use at all. We are the only ones that the imperial court can rely on."
"The general will obey your orders!"
What Zheng Zhongfu said was true. At this moment, Shen Tang had already arrived outside Kaijing.
Compared with the Song Dynasty, Kaijing, the capital of Goryeo, was just a small city. Although it was the location of the imperial palace, its scale and majesty were not even comparable to some of the county towns of the Song Dynasty.
However, this is not surprising. The entire Goryeo is just a small place, and their vision and ability are only so, and naturally they cannot compare with the vast territory and abundant resources of the Central Plains.
The place where Kaijing is located is relatively empty, and the defenses of Kaijing are naturally much tighter than those of the two previous small towns.
Therefore, as soon as Shen Tang and others appeared, before they arrived at the gate of Kaijing City, they were already noticed by the soldiers guarding the gate.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The heavy sound of horse hooves shook the earth, and teams of cavalry brought up beacon fire and smoke!
The Korean guards who were leaning on the city wall and basking in the sun were stunned!
"Where did this man and horse come from!"
A junior high school student reacted and yelled in horror. The other junior soldiers were even more stunned. This was Kaijing, the hinterland of Goryeo. When had they ever seen such a shocking and terrifying scene?
"Pah! Damn it!"
A general guarding the gate rushed out and slapped a dazed soldier to the ground, "What are you doing standing there, waiting to die?
Such a large-scale cavalry is obviously not ours, so hurry up and close the city gate!"
The guard's roar brought the soldiers and horses at the gate back to their senses. Immediately, they ignored the crowd that was still coming in and out. They directly drew their swords and guns to disperse the crowd, pushed the creaking door, and with a bang
Close it tightly.
"Someone, please block the door so that no one can enter or exit!"
The guard general was somewhat wise, and knew that this was not the time to panic. He asked people to report to the court, and at the same time asked people to completely block the door. At the same time, he led a small number of subordinates, and directly
He rushed to the city wall to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the chaos to attack the city.
Lying behind the female wall of the city wall, the guard carefully looked at the unexpected troops and horses!
At this moment, these people were about one or two miles away from the city wall, and there were only one or two thousand troops on the surface. However, he found that a few miles away, there was smoke billowing, and there were obviously a large number of troops and horses in action.
“Where did these people come from?
How could such a large-scale army suddenly appear outside Kaijing?"
The guard said to himself in disbelief.
Because of its terrain, Goryeo is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and only borders the Kingdom of Jin in the north. As for Japan, it has some exchanges with the Kingdom of Jin. However, the current civil strife in Japan has not yet subsided, and it is still unclear whether it is an opponent of Koryo.
explain.
Therefore, the capital of Goryeo is almost as stable as a mountain in Kaijing. After all, even if the troops of the Jin Kingdom want to reach Kaijing, they have to directly kill most of Goryeo.
But now, the imperial court has not received any news at all. Is it because these people have not been found in the important towns in the North?
In fact, it was not only him who had such doubts, but also the Goryeo court.
Such a shocking thing was naturally reported very quickly. Therefore, only a quarter of an hour later, the King of Goryeo, Wang Xi, was dragged directly from the harem to the main hall by his chamberlain.
Wang Huan is the son of Wang Kai, the king of Goryeo. Now, he has been on the throne for twenty years. Goryeo is considered stable and has no big enemies, so he has been extremely neglectful of government affairs.
He was fond of landscapes. He usually wore a white Confucian shirt and dressed up as a great scholar of the Song Dynasty. He built many gardens in Kaijing.
Because of his habit of liking landscape writers, he was extremely trusting and close to the civil servants in the court! Xu Hongcai, Li Fuji, Han Lai and other courtiers with excellent literary talents were not only favored by him, but also held high positions and were reused by him.
It has been a custom since ancient times that cultural relics are not mutually exclusive.
Because Wang Chen was once again a civil servant, he naturally neglected military generals, and even suppressed military officers repeatedly under the constant persuasion of civil servants.
This is why the great general Zheng Zhongfu is not in the court, but is far away in the north.
Wang Xi's control over the imperial court caused an extreme imbalance between civil and military affairs. Not only Zheng Zhongfu, but also other generals, such as Li Gao and others, had long been dissatisfied with the imperial court. Therefore, when Zheng Zhongfu mentioned his plan this time, not only did he not receive any opposition, he even
The generals were almost happy to see the success.
In the current Goryeo Kingdom, just like the Song Dynasty, the civil servants are superior and the warriors are reduced to clowns.
For example, Wang Xi often invites civil and military officials to travel. However, during the tour, the civil servants have delicious food and wine, and they only need to happily accompany him to drink and write poems. However, the military commanders are constantly close to them.
He has no qualifications, so he can only hide far away and act as a guard.
If necessary, even Zheng Zhongfu, the number one military commander, would come out to fight with others and let Wang Chen and a group of civil servants drink and watch. How many people can bear such an insult?
As for daily life, it was not uncommon for civil servants to suppress or even insult military generals. Every time such a thing happened, Wang Hu favored the civil servants and would at most rebuke them, without any substantive punishment at all.
What Wang Hui did also paved the way for Zheng Zhongfu and other generals to launch a mutiny a few years later.
To put it bluntly, allowing Shen Tang and others to march to Beijing now is just an appetizer for Zheng Zhongfu and others.
