The struggle of the reborn prince

Chapter 329 Self-defeating

If it hadn't been for the Koryo prince's clever refusal to accept the defense of Bao and Yuanzhou, there would not have been a series of wars in the future, and there would have been no capture and occupation of Helandian.Now, as the emperor had expected, the Koreans came to pick the fruit as soon as the war subsided.

"Baozhou and Yuanzhou don't seem to be included in our handover with your country?" Zhao Yong said in surprise after hearing Jin Fushi's words.

"Don't be joking, Commander. There is no dispute over which side Baozhou and Yuanzhou belong to, and it doesn't involve the peace talks between the Celestial Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. How could they not be included in the handover!" Jin Fushi was even more surprised and asked inexplicably.

"Lord Jin, it's a matter of the relationship between the two countries, how can I make fun of it!" Zhao Yong said solemnly.

"Marshal, Baozhou and Yuanzhou belong to Korea. Although they were recovered by your army, they should be returned to our country according to the original agreement. But what does it mean that they are no longer included in the delivery?" Jin Fushi also put away the just now With a kind face, he asked.

"Lord Jin, my Great Song has always put benevolence and righteousness first, and will never do anything that you say you won't do, but is it a violation of the previous agreement that you are asking for the two states at this moment?" Zhao Yong also changed his face and said coldly.

"Commander, the agreement between the two countries is written in black and white, and your country will break the contract before the ink is dry. How can there be benevolence and justice!" Of course Jin Fushi would not give up, and he stood up and said angrily.

"Government, commander, speak slowly if you have something to say, don't hurt the harmony between the two countries!" Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, Wang Sui pulled Lajin Fushi's sleeve to let him sit down, and said to Zhao Yong.

"Lord Jin, I can tell you that the two prefectures of Baozhou and Yuanzhou have been included in the territory of Song Dynasty according to the previous discussion, and it is impossible to hand them over to your country. However, Lord Jin has spoken disrespectfully to the Celestial Dynasty. Question!" Zhao Yong said with a firm attitude.

"Marshal. Don't think that you can bully me because your army is strong and strong. This old man will go to your country to meet His Majesty even if you don't want to die. Ask him why he doesn't abide by the agreement and dominate our country!" Old man Jin was also very angry and beat the case. And get up.

"Don't talk about being in power, there must be some misunderstandings, everyone don't get angry!" Wang Sui knew what happened in his heart at this time, seeing that both sides were already at war, and they were going to sue the other party's top leader. He became nervous and acted peacemaker.

"My son. This matter is related to the state system, how can it be just a misunderstanding, the old man must make it clear!" Jin Fushi's stubborn temper came up, and he didn't give Wang Sui any face at all.

"Who is afraid of anyone? This commander will never bear the name of breaking the contract and breaking the promise. It's just that you Korea is so unfaithful and abandoned the two states. Now you come to ask for it again. Think about the consequences of slandering my Da Song!" Zhao Yong's face turned pale. It’s not pretty either, he said angrily.

"Where did the commander-in-chief say that? When did I, Goryeo, abandon Erzhou?" Jin Fushi asked in surprise.

"Elder Prince knows the matter of the two states best, you won't forget it too?" Zhao Yong said angrily.

"In power, the Celestial Navy's navy defeated the Jinshui Army and regained Baozhou and Yuanzhou. Our army was required to take over the defense. However, the battle in Xijing was imminent, and the officials in the court were worried that the city would be lost, and the Jin army would march into Kaijing. At that time, there were no soldiers available, so I decided to abandon Erzhou!" Wang Mo looked at Jin Fushi and looked at himself.But it was hard for him to tell in front of Song people that he was playing tricks, so he had to briefly explain the process.

"Why didn't I know about this?" When Jin Fushi heard it, it turned out that there was a reason for it.No wonder Zhao Yong is so tough, but he knows nothing about such a big matter.

"The ruling was in Xijing at the time, and everyone was worried that telling you would affect the morale of the army and the people in Xijing, so..." Wang Sui knew that he was wrong and dared not look directly at him, and his voice became smaller and smaller. They also had no good intentions at the beginning, and they were worried that they would be punished if they told Jin Fushi. He was opposed, so he kept it a secret from him. After the war was over, he knew there was nothing he could do.

"That's how it is! Marshal, I don't know what's going on, and my words are so offensive, please make amends!" Jin Fushi's face turned livid, and he saluted Zhao Yong deeply.

"Those who don't know don't blame it, Mr. Jin doesn't have to be so rational!" Zhao Yong replied, but he secretly thought in his heart that it was fortunate that you didn't know at the beginning, otherwise how could we easily take Erzhou and get this important military place.Naturally, the two sides couldn't talk any more when an emergency happened, and Jin Fushi was also eager to go back, wanting to know the truth of the matter, so the talks between the two sides broke up unhappy...

When Jin Fushi returned to his residence, he immediately asked Wang Sui about the matter of abandoning Baozhou and Yuanzhou. Wang Sui had no choice but to explain in detail that he wanted to use the power of the Song Army to defend the Erzhou and prevent the Jurchens from making trouble again. The latter two states can take advantage of the trend to take back the two states.Unexpectedly, the Song army was so powerful that it not only repelled the Jin army, but also forced the Jurchen to sue for peace, which reversed the original plan. The Song army decided to occupy the two states for a long time and refused to return them.

Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Jin Fushi could only look up to the sky and sigh.Needless to say, the importance of Baozhou and Yuanzhou’s geographic location is important. The blind people of the Five Kingdoms who occupy Helandian can see that they are in the same group as Da Song. If Koryo loses the two states, it means losing the gateway to the north. , being restricted to the peninsula, there is no room for expansion.The Great Song Dynasty occupied the two places, and it could attack Jin when it entered, and it could occupy Koryo when it retreated.

"Government, do you think Da Song will return our two states?" Wang Sui asked absently, looking at the old man walking around the house after getting angry.

"It's difficult for sheep to enter the tiger's mouth now!" Jin Fushi said with a sigh, the Song army occupied the Erzhou, which is equivalent to controlling the mouth of the Yalu River, restricting the entry and exit of the Jin State's navy, and interacting with Dengzhou. After entering the West Korean Bay, Song Shuijun can go in and out of the Bohai Sea at will, and go deep into the ocean. That's what they meant when they leased Shenmi Island, how could they give up so easily now.

"In power, before we leave, my father asked us to take back the two states. How can we explain it when we return empty-handed?" Seeing Jin Fushi's solemn words, Wang Sui also became worried.

"The current plan can only be discussed with Da Song, to see if they agree to borrow the two states in imitation of Mi Island." Jin Fushi thought for a while.

"The ruling strategy is very clever. As long as we raise the price to make Da Song unbearable, they will naturally retreat!" Wang Sui said with high fives.

"Well, the current situation of the prince is that I am the fish and he is the knife. Do you think they will agree to our exorbitant price?" Jin Fushi sighed after hearing this, but his heart was very bitter. The prince has not yet understood the seriousness of the situation. How could he say such naive words.

"Hmph, then let's temporarily release Yin Ren. After they withdraw their troops, we will take advantage of the emptiness of the Song army in the two states and mobilize large troops to rob them. Let's see what they can do to me!" , said with a cold snort.

"Alas..." Jin Fushi only let out a long sigh this time, without commenting. The crown prince of a country said such inappropriate words, and Goryeo has lost hope. Jin Fushi, who was hit hard, couldn't say no Out of frustration, the idea of ​​​​retiring actually sprouted.

"After we capture Erzhou, we can take advantage of the momentum to attack Helandian, drive the Jurchen out, and take it into our Koryo territory. At that time, we have the natural danger of the Yalu River, and we can keep the Kingdom of Jin out of the country. Then we can ..."

"My son, if we rob Erzhou, how will the Song army come to retaliate? Even if the Song army does not come, even if we have the natural danger of the Yalu River, can we independently block the iron hooves of the Jurchen? The Song army will come across the sea to help Shall we submit to Jin again and let him oppress us!" Jin Fushi became more and more bored when he heard Wang Sui's endless planning for the future of Goryeo.

"Old man, relying on my own qualifications, I don't think of my son in my eyes. After I ascend the throne, I will show you a good look!" Wang Sui murmured looking at Jin Fushi's old back...

Wang Wei's big talk was met with retribution the next day. He received a report that the Song army suddenly stopped withdrawing and built five fortresses in the south of Baozhou City, apparently to defend Goryeo.At the same time, Helandian's five-nation army also began to mobilize to Xichuan and Xianxing. Although there was no conflict with the Koryo army, it also made the Koryo defenders nervous for a while, fearing that they would launch an attack.Seeing that the Song army had put on a stance to fight, Wang Sui immediately gave up. He didn't dare to talk about snatching Erzhou and regaining Helandian.

The sudden preparation of the Song army was not because Zhao Yong had the ability to predict the emperor's predictions, nor did he plant spies among the Koreans, but because he relied on the intuition of a veteran.The Koreans asked Helandian and Erzhou for nothing, so they will not be reconciled, and they will inevitably make wrong ideas. At this moment, the army has gradually returned to the country, and only their own soldiers, the third and fourth marine brigades and the new Marine Corps-based brigade are left. The formed garrison brigade has only ten thousand troops.

However, a large number of people from the Central Plains rescued from the Kingdom of Jin have not yet boarded the ship.According to the emperor's wishes, he hoped that these people in the Central Plains would stay, one could consolidate the newly acquired land, and the other would not compete with the domestic people for land.This measure is not mandatory, but there is a big difference in the treatment of those who leave and stay: those who stay will be given 2 guan as a settling allowance, [-] mu of land, and two cattle for farming; Later, the local state and county will arrange it separately.The treatment was very different, but nearly [-] people still asked to return to China.

In order to prevent the Koreans from taking the risk, Zhao Yong decided to bluff to scare the Koreans so that they would give up their idea of ​​robbing the two states by force as soon as possible.This move worked very well. In another round of negotiations, Zhao Yong rejected Jin Fushi's proposal to lease the two states at the most favorable price, and insisted that the two states be returned to the Song Dynasty, and the ownership of He Landian is to be determined and will be discussed in the future.

Koryo had no choice but to lose the two states by self-defeating, and ordered Jin Fushi to go to Bianjing to talk with Song Huang... (to be continued...)
