Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 214 The Kingdom of Brothers
Compared with the hard steel on the front, people like Shi Feng and the others who came from the rebel army are better at stealing camps and robbing villages.When the Koreans who had been nervous for a day were tossing and turning in the open air, Shi Feng had already brought people outside the back camp of the Koreans.In addition to the cavalry, there were more than a dozen cows in the bridle, their hooves wrapped in cloth, and their bodies painted colorfully.

When the team started, someone lit the firecrackers, and the loud noise frightened the dozen or so cows to run wildly towards the Korean barracks.The Koreans discovered the huge monster rushing in the dark, and quickly stopped it with bows and arrows.But the backs of these cows are not only covered with armor made of bamboo strings, but also covered with a layer of felt wetted with water.

The "dong dong" sound at the back made the cows go crazy with fright, and the pain from the arrows aroused their wildness even more.

The Koreans have been harassed by the cavalry of the Song Dynasty. They couldn't even cut down the wood, so they didn't have a decent barracks. They only dug a shallow trench, and the cows jumped over it lightly.The cows rushed into the middle of the Koreans with their heads down, and any object that blocked them would be knocked away. The sharp knives tied to the sharp horns even pierced the shields directly.In an instant, several blood paths appeared in the camp of the Koreans.

Shi Feng led his men to follow behind the cattle and took the opportunity to yell to cover up the killing, and the cavalry even followed closely behind the cattle.The Koreans just saw a group of monsters rushing over, and suddenly saw the steel swords of the cavalry approaching in front of them. This panic was superimposed with the fear of the Song people during the day, and it was out of control. All the Koreans just wanted to run. Seek protection in crowded places.As a result, they were driven to run about in the camp, and the whole camp was disturbed.

The Koryo military officers knew that there were not many Song people, but the soldiers did not know how many Song people there were.Moreover, the fighting power given away during the day is so abnormal that even the Korean soldiers who did not go into battle directly have phobias.In addition, it was inconvenient to send orders in the dark, and when Yan Xiushi and the others gathered their own soldiers, the whole camp was already in chaos, and the chaotic crowd rushed over and swept away their personal soldiers.

In this situation, they couldn't win. The two of them saw that it was not good, so they rushed out of the camp and fled south with others.

In fact, at this time, it doesn’t matter whether the Koreans have a general or not. It’s because the officials can’t find the soldiers, and the soldiers can’t find the officials. They follow their feelings in chaos. If someone calls south, they run south, and if someone calls west, they run west. , There are also dizzy and ran to the beach.

After dawn, the Korean people were lucky to escape after confirming that there was no Song people chasing after them.But in fact, after Shi Feng led people to drive the Koreans out of the camp, they only retreated after a while, and the Koreans kept scaring themselves.

This night was chaotic, and the Koreans not only threw away their weapons and flags, but also their morale was extremely low, so they had to retreat to the starting point and wait for help.The Song people also resolutely returned all the Korean captives and wounded. Now there are still 6000 or [-] people in the whole Korean army, and they all have to eat.

What if there is no food?Only the people on the island can be searched.Without food, they were forced to go fishing in the sea.

Tamna Island has always been far away from the mainland, and lived a self-sufficient life. Because it was poor, no one came to rob it. How could the common people live such a life?Complaints are affirmative, some people have elected an old man to appeal to Star Lord, hoping that the Koreans will withdraw from Tamna, otherwise everyone will starve to death together.

This kind of confrontation continued until December, during which time the Korean navy came over twice, but failed to meet the infantry, and instead lost more than a dozen large and small ships.Although four Song ships were also burned, this exchange ratio was intolerable to Koryo.And the infantry on the island was starving to death.

At the end of the year, the Koreans sent a small boat, and an official alighted from the boat to recruit the Song people on the island. The condition was that the Song people were allowed to live freely on Tamna Island.

This is just the bottom line of Li Buqi.Luo Tong then put forward two conditions for the truce to the Korean officials.One is to allow Song people to live freely in Tamna and maintain Tamna's autonomy.The second is that Koryo opened the ports of Mokpo and Busan, allowing Song ships to travel freely.

The envoy of Korea did not dare to make decisions on the latter condition, saying that he would go back and discuss it.In order to show goodwill, Luotong allowed the Koreans to send no more than two ships to transport food to the people on the island at a time, and to transport the people on the island away——I can’t do it otherwise, people will really starve to death.

While seeking peace talks with the Song people on Tamna Island, the Goryeo court also made second-hand preparations, that is, sending people to the Song Dynasty to file a complaint.

So in February, Koryo's envoys went to Bianliang to ask the emperor of Song Dynasty to take care of the matter.The emperor was taken aback, and quickly called the prime minister, the privy envoy and others to the Chongzheng Hall for discussion.Li Buqi was also called because he was familiar with Haimao.

"My lords, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Wen Yanbo said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the matter involves two countries and should not be ignored. Although Goryeo is not on good terms with Khitan, it is ultimately subject to Khitan. If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that Khitan will take the opportunity to make trouble, so we should send the Khitan as soon as possible. To lure the people on Tamna Island to return to the Song Dynasty, so as to avoid any accidents."

The privy envoy Song Xiang said: "I think Wen Xiang is right."

Pang Ji said: "I think I should appease Goryeo."

Seeing that everyone agreed, the emperor looked at Li Buqi who had been silent all this time: "Buqi, what do you think?"

Li Buqi quickly bowed and said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

He didn't jump out to spread hatred about this matter now, and we'll talk about it after Wen Yanbo and the others get frustrated.The situation in Tamna is good now, and the matter will be settled after Da Song and North Korea have a few more months of arguing.

As a result, a report was sent from the border in March, saying that an envoy from the Liao Kingdom had arrived on the border.This time the emperor and the ministers were frightened. They thought they were here for the affairs of Goryeo, but when they inquired, it turned out that the Liao Kingdom was planning to attack Xixia, so they came here to inform them.

It's finally here!Li Buqi has been waiting for this day for a long time, just waiting for this opportunity to do something.

After the envoy of the Liao Kingdom arrived in Bianliang and submitted the letter of credence to Zhao Zhen and left, Li Buqi immediately gave a memorial.Because Li Buqi's memorials always attracted special attention, their content was always leaked out quickly, so this memorial set off heated debates in the court, especially among the large number of papers waiting to be published. Big discussion.

"Hey, did you hear that? Li Buqi asked the officials to stop giving Xixia the New Year's gift."

"Ah? Why?"

"Didn't the Liao Kingdom send people to sue Yifa Xia a few days ago? Li Buqi said that the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom are brotherly countries, and he didn't say that when his brothers were fighting with others, they still had to support their brothers' enemies. This is injustice. Since the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom have made an alliance as a country of brothers, they must bear moral justice. What's more, Xixia violated the border on a large scale last year alone, no less than ten times, and it should be blamed."

"Yes, it makes sense! My brother fights with others, and it's fine if he doesn't help. There's no reason to give money back to others!"

"Are you stupid? Da Song and Liao are also called brothers?"

"But it was decided in black and white, and it has been announced to the world. How can it be a joke between countries?"

"You two idiots, what's the point of arguing about this? I only admire Li Daguan who is a master of chess. At this time, Xixia's year gift is stopped. Not only Xixia can't say anything, but also have a good relationship with Liao. And Xixia has to resist The Liao Kingdom simply does not have the ability to provoke Song Dynasty."

"But does the contract between Song Dynasty and Xixia still count? Wouldn't we have to use swords again in the future..."
