Chapter 908: The great country Goryeo, clown operation
Compared with its disdain for the Jin Kingdom, the Goryeo Dynasty had a natural tendency towards the Song Dynasty! Even in the 18th year of Shaoxing, there were Koreans Li Shen and Zhizhiyong who conspired to dedicate the Goryeo geological survey map to the Great Song Dynasty. Qin Hui, the Grand Master of the Song Dynasty, requested the Song Dynasty to send troops to annex Goryeo.
However, this matter was brought to light by the Song Dynasty businessman Lin Dayou and the Goryeo court, Wang Zhu executed Li Shen and others, and the matter naturally came to an abrupt end.
When Zhao Shen first came to power to plan the Northern Expedition, he also sent an envoy to Goryeo to make an agreement with Goryeo to attack the Jin Kingdom, but Goryeo did not respond! In the first half of this year, Goryeo also sent a secret envoy to the Song Dynasty. It was for the purpose of sending troops to the Kingdom of Jin.
However, Goryeo ignored it last time, and now that there is peace on the border between Song and Jin, not to mention that the Song Dynasty is still at war with Tubo, Zhao Shen naturally ignored Goryeo's request.
However, even without the help of the Song Dynasty, Goryeo still did not think that it was weaker than the Jin Kingdom.
On many islands in the center of the Yalu River, Jin people and Korean people actually live in a mixed state! Many Jin people go back and forth for woodworking and herding all year round, and even settle directly on the islands.
In order to test the Kingdom of Jin, Wang Xi secretly ordered Jin Guangzhong, the military deputy envoy from the northwest of Goryeo, to send troops to these river islands, kill the Jin people on the islands, burn down the Jin people's houses, and guard the fields on the islands!
Wanyan Yong was furious and sent an envoy to reprimand him, which probably meant, "The border between our two countries has been a little uneasy recently?
Was it at your instigation?
What do you want to do by stationing troops at the border?
Want to fight?
If it was not you who instigated it but Jin Guangzhong himself, I advise you to kill him as soon as possible, otherwise, wait for me to send troops to deal with you Korea!"
Wang Yan is bold but not bold. In order to appease Wan Yanyong, he pretended to make peace with the situation by returning the island and withdrawing the garrison!
Subsequently, Jin Guangzhong was directly dismissed from his post as a scapegoat.
However, the newly appointed military deputy envoy Yin Linzhan quit his job! Isn’t this a case of ceding territory for glory?
Come on, I won't carry out the order anyway, and at worst, you will be dismissed from my post! I have to say that Yin Linzhan is a man, and the only pity is that he does not realize his own ability and strength.
When the Jin soldiers at the border saw this, they didn't even wait for Wan Yanyong's order. A centurion rushed over with sixty or seventy men under his command!
Then... the Goryeo soldiers and horses were defeated! Jingzhou's general Yuan Shang and others were directly taken prisoner! Yin Linzhan took a look, good guy, are you Jin people so reckless?
Okay, you guys are great, can I accept it?
This time, without waiting for Wang Xi to speak again, Yin Linzhan directly gave these islands to the Kingdom of Jin and wrote to Wanyan Yong asking for peace.
A border dispute between two countries is like playing house! Wanyanyong focused on developing and stabilizing the country, so he ignored this small country.
However, the commotion in Korea is getting louder and louder.
Speaking of which, Goryeo at this time was somewhat similar to the Song Dynasty! Wang Xi doted on the civil servants and tried his best to suppress the military generals! The military generals were naturally unwilling to accept it. While confronting the civil servants, they also wanted to seek military exploits through war.
Therefore, although the dispute with the Jin Kingdom was lost this time, and the defeat was miserably, the military generals of Goryeo were not reconciled! Therefore, the border between Goryeo and the Jin Kingdom is just the calm before the storm. Maybe when Goryeo will Will once again show its claws towards Liaodong and the Changbai Mountain area...
Above the main hall of the Zhongjing Imperial Palace, Wan Yanyong was sitting on a dragon chair. The civil servants and generals below were extremely respectful.
Since Wanyan Yong came to the throne, he first wiped out all the forces of Wanyan Liang, and then single-handedly defeated the combined forces of Xia, Liao and Wanggu in the previous battle of Xia and Jin. This also made him more popular in the country. The power became more and more powerful! In the court, not even the prime minister or the marshal's office dared to refute Wan Yanyong's words! Compared to Zhao Shen, who had constraints from above and below, Wan Yanyong's little life was not very comfortable.
"Is the Goryeo Kingdom stable in the Tokyo Road area recently?"
"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Koryo has returned the land it previously occupied, and the troops stationed there have also withdrawn to the south of Posu Road!"
A minister has come out of class to report!
Wanyanyong nodded slightly. He had never paid attention to the small country of Goryeo, and he didn't even bother to send troops to conquer it. Furthermore, it was more remote, barren, and bitterly cold than the Jurchen tribe's hometown. Even if he conquered it, he might still have to go there. Make money there.
"Your Majesty, in recent days, Huanzhou, Linhuang Mansion, Puyu Road and many other places have been plundered by Mongolian soldiers and horses! Do you want the Northeast Road Recruitment Department to send troops to teach the Mongolian tribes a lesson?"
Hearing this, Wanyan Yong couldn't help but rub his eyebrows. After thinking for a long time, he waved his hand and said, "Let the troops and horses from all over the country focus on defense, and order all the prefectures to move the people into the city as much as possible! It is not suitable to fight with him for the time being. The Mongol tribes go to war!”
After a pause, Wan Yanyong continued, "Send envoys to the Bashihu tribe to sow discord between them and the Hongji tribe, so that they can contain the power of the Hongji tribe!"
The main people bordering the Kingdom of Jin are the Hongji Tribe and the Wang Gu Tribe. The Wang Gu Tribe was taught a lesson by Shen Tang before, and then they escaped in embarrassment after being let go by Shen Tang. Now they don't dare to enter the Kingdom of Jin without permission. , only the Hongji Ci tribe was not only strong in strength, but also had no good impression of the Jin Kingdom, so they continued to plunder the people on the border of the Jin Kingdom.
"How are the soldiers and horses in Tubo doing now?"
Wan Yanyong asked again.
The soldiers and horses in Tubo now can be regarded as one of the main battlefields of the Jin Kingdom this year! The reason why the Jin Kingdom agreed to Shen Tang to send troops to Tubo is naturally because of the good relationship between Shen Tang and the Jin Kingdom. However, the more important thing is that Tubo The strategic importance of the border.
If part of the land on the Tubo border can be captured, then the Jin Kingdom's border can be pushed west, south, and north from Linzhao Road! With this narrow strip, then the Jin Kingdom can control the northwest five roads of the Song Dynasty and Daxia Xining Prefecture, Xiliang Prefecture, Xuanhua Prefecture and other important places are used to suppress it. Once a war breaks out with the Song Dynasty or Daxia, the Jin Kingdom can send troops and horses from here to directly threaten the depths of the two countries!
Otherwise, with Wanyan Yong's wisdom, how could he agree to Shen Tang's request to send troops to help the Song Dynasty in vain?
He does have a crush on Shen Tang, and he does love Wanyan Yue very much, but he doesn't act out of emotion.
Not to mention military affairs and personal feelings in exchange!
"Now we have 20,000 soldiers and horses in Tubo, and we are cooperating with the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty! So far, we have occupied a large amount of land from Xiaojinchuan to the north, Ruoergai, and Minshan to the south, as well as strategic locations ! Before long, the Luqu area north of Zoergai will be completely captured by us and the Song army."
