Qian Song

Chapter 395 The Husband and Wife Are Birds in the Same Forest, They Fly Separately in the Face of Disaster (Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)

...

Hearing Wang Kai say that the Gan army is coming, and it is hundreds of thousands of troops, Wanyan Xian'er, who has been calm all the time, can't help but panic!

No way, under the shadow of a famous tree, the Jin army has already suffered too much at the hands of Qianjun, and there are still a large number of daughters of the royal family and clan of the Jin Kingdom in Li Cun's harem, becoming Li Cun's Playthings, for Li Cunsheng's children.

Wanyan Xian'er didn't want her and her four daughters to be five of them.

Therefore, Wanyan Xian'er hurriedly sent someone to notify the Meng'an Jin army stationed in Kaijing City to come to escort them, and at the same time sent someone to rush back to the Kingdom of Jin for help.

Seeing the danger, Wanyan Xian'er immediately wanted to rely on the golden man instead of her husband, Wang Kai's eyes moved, which proved that he didn't like it in his heart.

However, after all, Wang Kai is an excellent politician who has experienced all kinds of hardships since he was a child, so he quickly abandoned the emotion that would miss him a major event, but hurriedly took this opportunity to talk to Wanyan Xianer After discussing, transfer all the Koryo Jing Army to Kaijing, and then quickly recruit the Hundred Thousand Wang Army (that is, the auxiliary army) from Kaijing to defend the family and the country...

Wanyan Xian'er glanced at Wang Kai who looked like he was serving the country and the people without any trace.

Wanyan Xian'er felt like a bright mirror in her heart, Wang Kai was not doing this for the country and the people, but wanted to take this opportunity to seize the initiative.

What initiative?

Is war or peace?

Also, should we continue to be "loyal" to the Jin Dynasty, or should we change our family and submit to the Daqian Dynasty?

In other words, at this critical moment of the life and death of the Goryeo Dynasty, Wang Kai did not want to join forces with Wanyan Xian'er and his wife to jointly resist the foreign enemy of the Dagan Dynasty, but that the husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest and flew separately when disaster was imminent.

Wanyan Xian'er even thought pessimistically, Wang Kai might backstab her at a critical moment, shift all the responsibility for offending the Dagan Dynasty on her head, and use her to make up for the crime, in exchange for the Koryo Dynasty's on one's last legs.

Of course, Wang Kai didn't completely wrong Wanyan Xian'er.

Yes.

Wanyan Xian'er got along well with Wang Kai, and also got along well with Wang Kai's concubines and children.

But the ass decides the head.

Over the years, wars between the Kingdom of Jin and the Dagan Dynasty have occurred frequently, and the Kingdom of Jin has also actively harassed the frontiers of the Dagan Dynasty many times.

Under such circumstances, Wanyan Xian'er showed a strong patriotism towards her hometown, Jin. She worked hard to make Goryeo send troops to aid Jin every time, which in turn made the Goryeo Dynasty fall directly to Jin and participated in Qianjin. in the war between the two countries.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Dagan Dynasty came to attack the Goryeo Dynasty this time, it was definitely the Goryeo Dynasty's own fault, and behind this, Wanyan Xian'er definitely had an inescapable responsibility.

Wanyan Xian'er is well aware of this.

To be honest, Wanyan Xian'er didn't want things to develop like this.

But what can Wanyan Xian'er do?
The reason why Wanyan Xian'er was able to become the queen of the Goryeo Dynasty, and even listened to the government behind the curtain, was entirely because of the support of Jin Guo behind her.

If not, how could Wang Kai, the king of Korea, obey Wanyan Xianer? How could Wang Kai, the king of Korea, let Wanyan Xianer, the woman who should be under him, hang down the curtain when he was at his prime age? Listening to politics, and even Wang Kai, how could he be in love with the princess of the Jin Dynasty who forced him to become a puppet Goryeo king by force? !

A long time ago, Wanyan Xian'er, who inherited the wisdom of her father and grandparents, had a clear understanding, that is, the day when Wang Kai stood up and regained power was the day when she would be liquidated.

In order that when that day came, her fate would not be so miserable, and at least she could survive, Wanyan Xian'er purposely fell in love with Wang Kai, and purposely got along well with Wang Kai's concubines and children.

——Wanyan Xian'er hopes that when that day really comes, she will end up like Wang Kai's third and fourth aunts.

Wang Kai's mother was the second daughter of Li Ziqian, a powerful official in Korea. Wang Kai's great aunt was also the concubine of Wang Kai's father, Wang Yu.

Later, Wang Yu died and Wang Kai succeeded to the throne. Li Ziqian married his third daughter and fourth daughter (that is, Wang Kai's third aunt and fourth aunt) to Wang Kai in order to control Wang Kai who was still young at the time, and became Wang Kai's son. Kai was the only concubine at the time.

In this way, Li Ziqian is both Wang Kai's grandfather and Wang Kai's father-in-law (and double father-in-law). Who can be closer to Wang Kai than Li Ziqian?
Taking advantage of this complicated and extremely close relationship, Li Ziqian emptied Wang Kai, poured power into the government and the public, and controlled the government. At one point, he wanted to abolish Wang Kai and establish himself as the king of Korea.

After the Jin Dynasty defeated the Goryeo Dynasty, the high-ranking officials of the Jin Dynasty worried that Li Ziqian, who held the military and political power in Goryeo, would do something wrong, so they sent someone to poison Li Ziqian, "returning the government to Wang Kai", and took credit for it, wantonly intervening in the Goryeo Dynasty In terms of internal affairs, Wang Kai simply abolished the Queen Gongrui Empress Dowager Ren (daughter of Ren Yuanhou) that Wang Kai himself had accepted, and married Wanyan Xianer to Wang Kai as the queen of Goryeo.

Wang Kai's third aunt and fourth aunt were also liquidated because of the downfall of their father Li Ziqian, and became Wang Kai's two abandoned concubines.

However, although Wang Kai's third aunt and fourth aunt were abolished, because they took care of Wang Kai since childhood, they had a very good relationship with Wang Kai, and they saved Wang Kai's life twice from Li Ziqian's hands. Kai just abolished their titles of concubines, but in fact they still lived in Wang Kai's harem.

If one day, Wang Kai can stand up and take charge of the government affairs of the Goryeo Dynasty again, Wanyan Xian'er feels that if she can also live in Wang Kai's harem like Wang Kai's third aunt and fourth aunt, it will be considered unfortunate Luckily.

At this moment, although Wanyan Xian'er has been keenly aware of Wang Kai's impure motives.

But after hesitating for a moment, she felt that she could no longer control the government. Otherwise, even if the Goryeo Dynasty could survive the catastrophe, she would never end well for Wanyan Xian'er, so she finally agreed with Wang Kai's proposal.

Therefore, Wang Kai and Wanyan Xian'er jointly issued an edict, summoning the Koryo Jing army to immediately come to the capital to rescue King Qin.

After the Korean army's entry into the capital was settled, Wang Kai immediately discussed with Wanyan Xian'er to call the ministers of the Korean Dynasty to discuss how to deal with the imminent attack of the Gan army.

Even Wanyan Xian'er of the Koryo Jing Army asked Wang Kai to mobilize to Kaijing, how could Wanyan Xian'er prevent Wang Kai from summoning the ministers of the Koryo Dynasty to discuss how to deal with the large-scale attack of the dry army?
With Wanyan Xian'er's approval, even though the situation is so bad, Wang Kai still secretly punched him in the heart!

For a long time, the reason why Wang Kai didn't dare to disobey the orders of the Jin Kingdom, and let Wanyan Xian'er listen to the government behind the curtain, intervening in the affairs of the Goryeo Dynasty, was not because he was afraid of the fierce security forces that the Jin Kingdom placed in Kaijing City, but because Because he was afraid that the Jinhui would destroy the Goryeo Dynasty in a fit of rage and kill their entire Wang family.

Now that the Dagan Dynasty is coming, Wang Kai feels that he can use the Dagan Dynasty to check and balance the Kingdom of Jin, and use the Dagan Dynasty to balance the Jin Kingdom, so as to survive in the cracks.

Of course, Wang Kai also had a headache when faced with the menacing Dagan Dynasty and the intention to destroy the Goryeo Dynasty in one fell swoop.

However, Wang Kai felt that as long as his attitude was low enough, he was willing to pay the Dagan Dynasty a courtier, and he was willing to pay war indemnity to the Dagan Dynasty. By the way, Li Cun likes beauties. Even 1 Korean beauties were given to Li Cun.

It can be said that as long as Li Cun is willing to let the Goryeo Dynasty go, Wang Kai is willing to pay any price. For example, he can abolish Wanyan Xianer and marry Li Cun's daughter as the Queen of Goryeo.

To put it bluntly, just like Wang Kai successfully kept the country of the Koryo Dynasty under the hands of the Jinren, Wang Kai felt that this time he could also keep the country of the Koryo Dynasty from the hands of the Dagan Dynasty.

Wang Kai is not blindly confident.

According to the words of the late Li Ziqian: it is the way of the kings to make big things out of small things.

In other words, the way for the Goryeo Dynasty to survive is that if the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, the Goryeo Dynasty would submit to the Central Plains Dynasty; if the Grassland Dynasty was strong, the Goryeo Dynasty would submit to the Prairie Dynasty.

Throughout the ages, this has always been the only rule of survival.

Called by Wang Kai and Wanyan Xian'er, more than 150 officials from the Koryo court came to the Koryo palace for a meeting.

These include Jin Fushi, a famous Goryeo official who served in the three dynasties of Wang Kai, Suzong of Goryeo, Ruizong of Goryeo, and Wang Kai.

Facing the aggressive offensive of the Gan army, Jin Fushi asked Wang Kai to issue an edict to gather all the Beijing troops to defend against the natural danger of the Han River.

Kaijing City is located in the north of the Han River and west of the Linjin River.

What Jin Fushi meant was that the six guards of the Goryeo Jing Army were divided into five armies: middle, front, rear, left, and right. In the Janghwa-dong and Hwajang-dong areas northeast of Kaesong, the rear army and the Second Army of the Koryo Jing Army were transferred to Kaijing City, relying on Kaijing City to stand firm and wait for reinforcements.

In this way, the Goryeo Dynasty could not only rely on the solid Kaijing City to hold on, but also control the north bank of the Han River and the west bank of the Shachuan River, forming a defense line that stretched for tens of miles from the Yecheng River in the west to Panmunjom in the east.

Jin Fushi said: "This will definitely ensure that the dry army cannot cross the Han River. In other words, if some troops really cross the Han River, they can also be stationed around the capital in an array of horns, or at intervals of fifty miles or thirty miles. Form a chain of camps to stop the enemy and protect the capital."

Jin Fushi also said: "To defend the Han River, veteran generals must be used. Foreign relatives, relatives of the prime minister, old officials of the provincial court, etc. are not available."

Jin Fushi also suggested: "The army is so fierce that it may be difficult to deal with it. You can order and recruit [-] troops to build fortresses along the Han River as a barrier."

Kim Fushi was born as a descendant of the Silla royal family. His great-grandfather Kim Weiying was appointed as the governor of Gyeongju by the Goryeo Dynasty when Silla returned to Goryeo.In his early years, he was sent as a diplomatic mission to the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and his poems and essays were published together with Park Yin-liang, who was with him, as "Xiao Hua Ji" and circulated in the Song Dynasty, which gave Goryeo the reputation of "Little China".His five brothers have been familiar with poetry and books since childhood. Except for Xuan Zhan, who became a monk, Jin Fushi, his elder brothers Fu Bi, Fu Yi and his younger brother Fu Yi (Fu Zhe) all "advanced through literature" and passed the imperial examination successively. Official career, and hold important positions.

Among the courtiers in Goryeo, Jin Fushi is considered to be a relatively clear-headed one.

Although Jin Fushi also knows that with the current military strength of the Goryeo Dynasty, even the Kingdom of Jin can't beat it, let alone the Dagan Dynasty, which has always been defeated by the Kingdom of Jin, which has always been arrogant and domineering. Kai's idea of ​​turning to the Dagan Dynasty to submit to the court is indeed the only good strategy to save the Goryeo Dynasty.

But what Jin Fushi saw further than Wang Kai was that since the Dagan Dynasty sent hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Goryeo Dynasty, it must have been premeditated for a long time. Completely merged into the territory of the Dagan Dynasty. In this case, the Goryeo Dynasty can only change its original intention by showing the military strength that makes the Dagan Dynasty fearful. Otherwise, the Goryeo Dynasty will definitely be in danger.

However, a group of officials from Xijing Liangban headed by Zheng Zhichang resolutely opposed Jin Fushi's suggestion.

——This is not only because the two sides have indeed different views, but also because Kaijing Liangban and Xijing Liangban have been engaging in party disputes, which is similar to the party struggle between reformists and conservatives in the Zhao and Song Dynasties. Both sides wished to kill each other , At the same time, no matter what one party advocates, the other party will definitely oppose it, without asking whether it is right or wrong.

in short.

The proposals of Zheng Zhichang and others were nothing more than two points: one was that the army had already arrived, and the time was too short, and there was no time to assemble the army and build a fortress. They felt that Jin Fushi's proposal would not work at all; Pleading ministers to the Daqian Dynasty and asking for peace, why gather troops to fight the Dagan Dynasty?If the army is raised again, wouldn't the Dagan Dynasty seize the opportunity to accuse the Koryo Dynasty of being insincere in negotiating peace?
Wang Kai thought about it for a while and felt that what Zheng Zhichang and other people from the second class of Xijing said was also very reasonable.

But without mobilizing the Koryo Jing Army, it will definitely not work.

Because Wang Kai mobilized the Koryo Jing army not only to defend against the Qian army's attack, but also to expel the Jin army in the capital and take back his royal power.

Therefore, Wang Kai combined the suggestions of Kaijing Liangban represented by Jin Fushi and Xijing Liangban headed by Zheng Zhichang. Don't come to the army to attack again, everything is easy to discuss...

……

That night, a series of meteors suddenly fell on the night sky in Kaijing, Korea, and the big ones were like cups.

Some people watch the sky at night, speculating that the Qian army may have already crossed the Han River, and a tragedy is about to happen.

As a result, rumors arose everywhere in Kaijing, and people panicked.Many citizens left Kaijing overnight and took refuge in the Xijing area of ​​Koryo.

Miaoqing, another speaker of Xijing Liangban, took this opportunity to propose to Wang Kai to go to Xijing to avoid disasters, and then proposed to move the capital to Xijing.

Miaoqing believes that Kaijing is too close to Licheng Port. For the Dagan Dynasty with a powerful navy, with Kaijing as the capital, the center of the Koryo Dynasty, that is, the Koryo court, may be in the Dagan Dynasty at any time. Under the attack, it is too dangerous, and it is uncertain when it will be taken by the dry army.

It has to be said that Miaoqing's suggestion is still reasonable, especially after it has been proven that this is indeed a terrible fact.

But Miaoqing's suggestion was firmly opposed by Kaijing Liangban represented by Jin Fushi.

In response to Miaoqing's suggestion, Jin Fushi pointed out: "The Qian army will reach the Han River in a few days. If the king is lucky to the west, the Beijing army will be in chaos. At that time, the Qian army will surely be able to cross the Han River easily. There are many iron cavalry in the army, but I, Goryeo, cannot match them, without the natural danger of the Han River, how could your majesty escape the pursuit of the cavalry in the army?"

Wang Kai felt that what Jin Fushi said was very reasonable, and at the current stage, the real talker of the Goryeo Dynasty was still the Jinren and Wanyan Xianer, and he could not fully control the Goryeo Dynasty, so he could not act rashly.

Therefore, under the strong advice of Jin Fushi, Wang Kai gave up the idea of ​​going to Xijing.

But Wang Kai felt that what Miaoqing said was not unreasonable, so Wang Kai sent Miaoqing to Xijing to manage the business first, in preparation for moving the capital to Xijing in the future.

After Miaoqing left, Wang Kai and other Goryeo monarchs continued to deploy according to Jin Fushi's suggestion.

In the eyes of Jin Fushi and others, the Goryeo Dynasty sent tens of thousands of elite Beijing troops to guard the natural dangers of the Han River, and it is absolutely impossible for the dry army to cross the river so quickly.

This is also one of the reasons why Jin Fushi and others prevented Wang Kai from fleeing to Xijing, Goryeo.

But how could Jin Fushi and others have imagined that it was their common sense that completely ruined the last hope of the royal family and clan of the Goryeo Dynasty to escape...
