Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 558 The Last Jumping Clown

What!

An expression of disbelief appeared on Zhao Chen's face, and expressions of disbelief appeared on the faces of the surrounding guards as well.

Goryeo is a small country. From the mid-Tang Dynasty to the present for more than 300 years, the Goryeo people stayed silently on the Korean peninsula and never dared to come out again! When the Liao Kingdom was strong, they were the vassal states of the Liao Kingdom! Later, the Jurchens rose up, and Goryeo became a vassal state of the Jurchens again!

And now, this small country dared to invade Liaodong!

"How many soldiers and horses do the Koreans have?" Zhao Chen asked after taking a deep breath.

"There are about 200,000 soldiers and horses!" Kang An said.

"Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses is quite a number! What is the composition of their soldiers and horses?" Zhao Chen asked again.

"They are all infantry, and there are almost no cavalry! Your Majesty, their strength is very average, and they are vulnerable!" Kang An said.

"Call Yue Fei and Yu Yunwen immediately, and let's discuss this matter together," Zhao Chen said.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he headed towards the palace. After he washed up a bit, not long after, Yue Fei, Yu Yunwen and others all came to the palace.

Immediately when Kang An told the news of the Korean invasion, Yue Fei and Yu Yunwen also showed unbelievable expressions on their faces.

"What do you think of this matter?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, Liaodong has been in turmoil in the past six months, and the strength in Tokyo is empty! First, our army went to Shangjing and Zhongjing, and the Jurchens also evacuated Tokyo to Huanglong Mansion. As for the local Khitan people, they also became rebels and went to Huanglong Mansion, etc. land, so the Koreans took the opportunity to invade the east and took those places without any effort!" Yu Yunwen said.

"Your Majesty, there has been no war in Goryeo for more than 300 years. Their army has no combat experience at all, and it is absolutely impossible to be our opponent! Although they have 200,000 soldiers, we can still easily defeat them!" Yue Fei said.

"Your Majesty, I think we can't go to war with Goryeo for the time being," Yu Yunwen said.

"Oh?" Zhao Chen looked at Yu Yunwen with a questioning expression.

"Our army has been preparing for the battle in the north for more than a year! After entering the north, our army continued to fight, the soldiers and horses were exhausted, and the material consumption was huge! Moreover, we have annexed a huge territory, and it will take a lot of work to appease the people in these places. Supplies, food and grass! It is really inappropriate to go to war with the Koreans now! Even if we can defeat the 200,000 troops of the Koreans, we will still have casualties, and in this way, our relationship with the Koreans will immediately deteriorate, and the Koreans will continue to send people westward into Liaodong , we need to keep on guard, the loss outweighs the gain! There is a Great Wall between Liaodong and Koryo, and it is difficult to cross it for the time being." Yu Yunwen said.

The so-called "Great Wall of Thousand Miles" is a fortification built by Emperor Dezong of Goryeo 200 years ago, and the Koreans call it the "Great Wall of Thousand Miles"! In the past two hundred years, whether it was the rise of Khitan or the rise of Jurchen, Goryeo has been able to maintain its independence, and it has something to do with the Great Wall. If the Song army wanted to enter Korea, they had to cross the Great Wall.

"What you said also makes sense." Zhao Chen nodded and said.

"Although they have occupied some cities now, they need to send troops to garrison them. They also need to consume supplies in order to appease the local Khitan people! Their troops are scattered and their national power is depleted. It will be easier for us to attack Goryeo in a year or two! They have pacified several cities in Liaodong, and we can just take them over!" Yu Yunwen said.

Hearing this, Zhao Chen, Yue Fei and others couldn't help laughing.

"What we need to do now is to send envoys to Goryeo. First of all, let Goryeo become a vassal. This should not be difficult! Over the years, no matter who is strong, Goryeo will be his subject. Now my Great Song Dynasty has destroyed Xixia, Khitan, and Jurchen. , is the largest country in the world, and they have no reason not to surrender! Second, if the Koreans test the disposal of the Liaodong cities, we will verbally agree to hand over those cities to their management for peace of mind, and only when we attack Korea in the future It can be done by surprise and broken in one blow!" Yu Yunwen said again.

"Very good, Yunwen is worthy of being a wise man with clever means!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Admiration!" Yue Fei nodded and said.

"However, we can't let them occupy other cities anymore, especially Tokyo, which has an important position and must not be taken by them! Brother Yue, you immediately lead your troops south to defend Tokyo." Zhao Chen said.

"The last general will do it!" Yue Fei said.

"Your Majesty, General Yue, I still have one piece of information that I haven't reported in time! General Yue is highly skilled in martial arts, and this matter may require General Yue's help." Seeing that Yue Fei was about to leave, Kang An hurriedly said.

"What is it?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Your Majesty, a group of people have come to Liaodong..." Kang An said.

After Kang An finished speaking, mocking smiles appeared on the faces of Zhao Chen, Yue Fei, and Yu Yunwen.

"These jumping beam clowns are really lingering! Wherever I go, they will follow! But Lin Lingsu, Wu Qing, Guo Yaoshi, the queen and others have all died or been captured. Now the remaining jumping beams There are not many clowns, this time we must catch them all!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, General Yue is well-known in the world for his martial arts skills! With General Yue around, they must be cautious, so it is better to let General Yue leave." Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen, Yue Fei, and Kang An looked at Yu Yunwen in surprise, and Yu Yunwen laughed again.

*** ***

On the morning of that day, in front of the Huining Mansion Palace, the former Jurchen Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai was executed by Ling Chi, and the army cheered again.

Less than half an hour later, Yue Fei personally led 50,000 cavalry to the south towards the Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, and the news of the Korean invasion of Liaodong had already spread in the army. The palace visited Zhao Chen and asked to send troops to Goryeo.

At this moment, in the north of Huining Mansion, near the city wall, there are rows of simple courtyards.

The surroundings of the courtyard are unusually quiet. These days, the Jurchens are still hiding in their homes, and most people dare not go out.

One of the courtyards looked very ordinary, without any outstanding features. There were several houses in the courtyard. At this moment, in one house, more than a dozen people were sitting there.

These dozen or so people were all dressed up as Han Chinese, old and young, men and women, and some were monks and Taoist priests.

An elegant-looking middle-aged Taoist priest sat on the kang, and the rest sat in the lower positions.

"Have you all found out clearly, Yue Fei has really gone south?" the middle-aged Taoist said.

"Master, Yue Fei led 50,000 cavalry to the south, we saw it clearly! Moreover, the news of the Korean invasion of Liaodong has already spread throughout the army!" said a bearded man in his thirties.

"Very good! Yue Fei went south. I heard that the Taoist priest with extremely high martial arts has also gone south to Yanyun. Emperor Xuanwu has no other masters! He also likes to be with the untouchables of the people the most. We can always find someone to assassinate him. Opportunity!" said the middle-aged Taoist priest.

Everyone around nodded their heads.

"The world has been in chaos for many years, but after the birth of Emperor Xuanwu, the world has once again become unified! If Emperor Xuanwu cannot be killed now, my Demon Sect will completely lose the chance to control the world! Therefore, no one can slack off this time!" Middle-aged Taoist Road.

"Uncle Xiaoyaozi, just tell us what you want us to do!" said a young man with a gloomy expression.

"The only thing now is to closely monitor the palace, tell me the whereabouts of Emperor Xuanwu, and then wait for the opportunity! Wuji, after assassinating Emperor Xuanwu, I don't seek fame and wealth, I will tell the world that you, Cheng Wuji, killed Xuanwu Emperor, let you be famous all over the world!" The middle-aged Taoist said.

"Thank you, uncle!" The young man with a gloomy face said with an excited expression on his face.

It turns out that these people in front of them are Xiaoyaozi, Cheng Wuji and other masters in the magic sect!

Over the years, the intelligence department has become larger and more organized, and they have gradually infiltrated into the Demon Sect. Before that, Kang An reported the news that Xiaoyaozi, Cheng Wuji and other members of the Demon Sect were planning to assassinate Zhao Chen.

After a while, the crowd dispersed, and Cheng Wuji left the courtyard. He walked through the alleys of Huining Mansion, preparing to go to his hiding place.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a strange sign at the entrance of an alley!

Those are two vertical lines, but these two vertical lines have different shapes, just like the shape of a man and a woman!

If ordinary people saw this mark, they would only be curious, but Cheng Wuji had a smile on his face, because this is the unique mark of the Yin Yang sect!

"Could it be that Junior Sister is also in Huining Mansion? This is really great!" Cheng Wuji thought to himself.

After carefully observing the mark for a while, he headed towards the east. Not long after that, he saw this mark again. After walking like this for a while, he saw a huge house in front of him!
