Chapter 593

As soon as Han Shizhong said these words, everyone was excited.

The Goryeo soldiers' raid on Duli City in May undoubtedly angered the Liaodong Song Army.

Petitioning to send troops to Goryeo is now the unanimous wish of the Liaodong Song Army.

Hu Yantong stroked his lush beard and laughed: "Hahaha! I have long wanted to beat up those little Goryeo thieves!"

"We cannot take it lightly," Han Shizhong said. "We have to cross the sea to fight in Goryeo and penetrate deep into the enemy's territory. This is not an easy task."

"We have a big ship now! Just move the warship to the coast of Koryo, land, and push it all the way!" Hu Yantong's voice was the loudest. He looked at Zhang Rong and said, "I'm right, Fisherman Zhang! Hahaha!"

Han Shizhong said: "According to reports from the scouts who infiltrated Goryeo, just last month, Goryeo's Kaijing carried out a bloodbath against pro-Song officials. I am afraid that the Jin army was behind this incident."

The Liaodong Army Chief of Staff said: "If this is the case, when Wang Shibing is about to leave Beijing, the Jin Kingdom will definitely come out to mediate."

Han Shizhong said: "The Kingdom of Jin is an ally of the Song Dynasty. How could the Kingdom of Jin come forward to mediate when Goryeo killed our envoys from the Song Dynasty, massacred our people of the Song Dynasty, and committed such a heinous crime?"

Everyone was stunned, when did Han Shuai think so well of the golden thief?

But then I heard Han Shizhong say: "Anyone who comes forward and claims to be the envoy of the Jin people who come to mediate is a Korean disguised as a Korean and will be executed on the spot. They must not fall into the conspiracy of the Koreans. Do you all understand?"

Everyone was stunned again, and then they realized Marshal Han's true intention.

Hu Yantong said: "If you are discovered by me, I will cut it into pieces!"

Han Shizhong glanced at Geng Zuo, and Geng Zuo said to everyone: "According to reports from the scouts ahead, there are huge differences among the bureaucrats within the Koryo Kingdom. Although the King of Koryo purged the pro-Song officials who opened the capital, Xijing of the Koryo Kingdom It is the headquarters of pro-Song officials, headed by the highly respected monk Miaoqing."

Everyone fell silent and listened carefully with their ears raised.

"After Miaoqing learned that Zheng Zhichang was killed, he was extremely angry. The wealthy and prominent families in Xijing were also in a state of panic and anger. This Miaoqing was already gathering the prominent families in Xijing to raise troops to support the emperor."

What Geng Zhu said is the same as what happened in the history of Goryeo.

In history, Zheng Zhichang was a pro-Song faction and had close contacts with Miaoqing and others. Miaoqing raised his troops and wanted to force Wang Kai to move the capital to Xijing and expedition to the north of the Jin Dynasty.

Zheng Zhichang, who founded the capital, was considered an accomplice of Miaoqing and was executed by Jin Fushi. Miaoqing and others raised troops in Xijing, but were suppressed and purged.

And in this time and space, Miaoqing's behavior is surprisingly consistent.

It can only be said that certain historical events are not coincidences, but the inevitable outcome of conflicts between multiple parties.

Zhang Rong said: "So, should we send someone to contact this Miaoqing quietly now?"

"People were sent out yesterday." Geng Zhu said, "In order to prevent the two separatist forces within the Goryeo Kingdom from uniting, we cannot use the banner of destroying the country, but Qing Jun sideways to rescue Wang Kai, the leader of the Goryeo Kingdom, from the traitorous officials. "

Just like when the Jin Dynasty attacked the Song Dynasty, it was not under the banner of destroying the Song Dynasty, but under the banner of frequently fighting for Su Shi, Huang Tingjian and others in order to win the recognition of scholars all over the world.

Everyone couldn't help but nod.

Han Shizhong took over the words: "If Miaoqing is willing to cooperate with us, our warships can directly enter the Datong River from the sea, arrive at Xijing (Pyongyang), control the military power north of Goryeo, and cut off Kim Fushi in Kaejing (Kaesong) After the defeat, the others fled north to the Kingdom of Jin."

"If you are not willing to cooperate with us, we will not send our troops to Xijing, but directly land west of Kaijing and attack the capital of Goryeo. We will win this battle first."

"But once we send troops to Fuzhou, once the troops in Fuzhou are sharply reduced, if the Jin people notice it, they will most likely take the opportunity to move south and seize Fuzhou in one fell swoop. By then, our way back will be cut off. Our army will go deep into the hinterland of Goryeo, and we will be in a difficult situation. That’s really not good.” Geng said.

Zhang Rong added: "And if the situation really turns out to be like that, even if we take Kaijing, the Koreans will definitely ask for help from the Jin Army. The Jin Army will send another elite force south to support Korea, and our army will be trapped in the quagmire of the war. "

The words of Geng Zhu and Zhang Rong made the atmosphere at the scene a little solemn.

Because what they say is true and cannot be refuted.

The current situation is on the Gaizhou front line, where many Jin troops are stationed to prevent the Song army from Fuzhou from going north to threaten Liaoyang.

But once the main force of the Song army left Fuzhou, if the Jin people knew the situation, they would never miss this opportunity.

As for the so-called peace contract, in the face of recapturing a major military town like Huzhou, even wiping the butt feels too tough.

"It's easy!" Hu Yantong said, "Give the last general three thousand men, and the last general will go and capture Kaijing, and send the head of Jin Fushi to Han Shuai!"

Hu Yantong is obviously an expert at charging into battle, but it is obviously difficult for him to have an overview of the overall situation and make arrangements.

What if we can't take down the three thousand troops?

What matters in war is morale. The victory or defeat in the first battle will have a great impact on the outcome of the battle.

Therefore, in ancient times, the general forward battalions used not the cannon fodder in the image, but the most powerful elites.

Hu Yantong found that no one answered his words and felt a little embarrassed, so he gave up.

"Can we win a quick victory?" Zhang Qing said, "Currently there are 30,000 capable soldiers in Liaodong. We will send 10,000 troops to capture Kaijing within two months and end the war before the Jin people can react."

"Can't end the war?" Zhang Rong said, "Even if we capture Kaijing, it will be difficult to eliminate all the resisters in Goryeo. These people will definitely seek help from goldmen on a large scale, or retreat to other places to continue resisting. As long as we cannot eliminate them With them, the war will never end, and our people cannot withdraw, otherwise the fight will be in vain."

Geng said: "And once the Jin people know that we are sending troops to Goryeo, they are likely to take action against Fuzhou. The Jin people have deployed enough elites in Liaoyang Mansion, and we cannot take this risk."

"Then this is not the case, and that is not the case either!" Hu Yantong said angrily, "Then should we still fight this battle?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then Han Shizhong said: "Fight! Of course we will fight! The court has given us enough support! How can we not fight! I went to Xianggong Li and asked him to borrow some of his troops!"

"Li Gang?"

"Yes, that's him!" Han Shizhong said, "I have a good relationship with Mr. Li. We fought together against the Jin in Hebei in the first year of Jingkang, and the court also gave instructions to ask for help from other military towns."

"That's great!" Geng said, "But Mr. Li is stubborn. What if he is worried that the Cangzhou defense line will be exploited by the Jin army and is unwilling to lend troops?"

"The defense line on the eastern front is now very strong. Yue Fei has strong troops and horses in Fucheng. If the Jin army in Hejian Prefecture wants to take the opportunity to go south, Yue Fei's army can reinforce Cangzhou at any time. Li Xianggong should not have any worries."

Only then did everyone remember that Yue Fei had some powerful cavalrymen under his command.

The current Song Army is no longer the Song Army in the first year of Jingkang.
