Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 570: Return to Yenching

Zhao Chen and the soldiers returned to the barracks and sat down to eat together.

The meal is very simple, it is a common stew dish in Liaodong, but it is steaming, and it is completely hot to eat.

At this time, Zhao Chen gathered the soldiers, and Zhao Chen sat in the middle of the crowd. The soldiers around looked at Zhao Chen and waited for Zhao Chen to speak.

"Brothers, today I saw the leader of Goryeo on the opposite side!" Zhao Chen said.

The soldiers around nodded one after another. Someone already knew about this.

"Goryeo's lord will let us surrender Liaodong! He said that after the demise of Jurchen, Liaodong is already a land without a master, and it belongs to Goryeo!" Zhao Chen said.

After Zhao Chen's words were finished, the soldiers around were in an uproar, and all the soldiers showed incredible expressions on their faces.

"Your Majesty, are the Koreans joking? A small country like Goryeo still wants to steal the entire Liaodong?" a general asked.

"Yeah, Your Majesty, are the Koreans crazy? They let us surrender Liaodong?"

"Your Majesty, the Koreans dare to say such a thing?"

The soldiers around asked one after another!

This is not a formal training, nor is it a formal training. Therefore, the atmosphere on the scene is not very serious, and soldiers can speak freely.

"Koryo people did say such a thing! The head of Goryeo even said that after the fall of Liao and Jin, Korea and our Song Dynasty are the kingdom of brothers!" Zhao Chen said again.

"What! The country of brothers? Goryeo used to be our vassal country, but now it should be our country of brothers?"

"Damn it! Koreans are so rampant!"

"Koryo people really don't know how high the world is!"

The soldiers all around opened their mouths one after another, and all the soldiers had angry and mocking expressions on their faces.

"Korean people said that they have an army of half a million, and we are not their opponents! They also said that the reason why we were able to defeat Jurchen was because of Jurchen and Khitan infighting. We got cheap!" Zhao Chen said.

"A half million army? Even a five million army is not our opponent!"

"Your Majesty, we defeated Jurchen because our military strength surpassed Jurchen. We defeated them upright and let them surrender, not because of Jurchen and Khitan infighting!"

"Your Majesty, the Koreans are really damn! They thought they could defeat us! I have seen their army with a fragile look, they are so arrogant!"

The soldiers around were angry.

"After the messenger from Goryeo met me, he spoke very violently. No Korean people would kneel down! I told them that Goryeo is not our territory, so they don't need to kneel down! I wanted to say something to them at that time, Goryeo. It’s just that it’s not our territory for the time being. As long as I am willing, the soldiers will be able to take Goryeo in one fell swoop. At that time, what reason do these Koreans have for not wanting to kneel?" Zhao Chen stood up abruptly and shouted.

"Your Majesty, we will send troops now to take Goryeo!"

"Yeah, take Goryeo! Don't let the Koreans go wild and rude!"

The soldiers around stood up one after another and said to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen raised his hand, and the voices of the soldiers around him calmed down, but there were angry expressions on their faces.

"I also want to take Goryeo, but we have just captured the North and Liaodong, and it will take some time to stabilize here, so for the time being, we can only let the Koreans go wild! However, within two years, I must enter Goryeo. Beat them down completely! They don't want to kneel down, beat them down, they don't want to surrender, beat them down!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes, beat them!"

"Conquer them thoroughly!"

The soldiers around said one after another.

"Now we have eliminated Jurchen, but there is no Jingping in the world! The Koreans actually fantasize about resuming the so-called Goguryeo. Their weak strength is still eyeing us. If we don't attack them, they will also attack us! Therefore, soldiers can't slack off. , Still have to practice diligently, wait until the north is stable, let them see how powerful we are, and let them know that Song Dynasty is definitely not something a small country like theirs can provoke!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will train well later!"

"I really hope that the rampant Korean people can be wiped out now!"

"Two years from now will be the period of destruction of Goryeo!"

The soldiers kept talking.

"Your Majesty, the words of General Goryeo today are really unbearable! I finally wish to lead troops to destroy the 50,000 Goryeos in the south!" Zhang Xian came to Zhao Chen's side and said.

"Immediately return to Liaoyang City to discuss the destruction of Korea." Zhao Chen nodded and said lightly.

In the late night of the same day, in the palace of Liaoyang City, Zhao Chen, Yue Fei, Yu Yunwen and others gathered in a small palace, and everyone sat together to discuss matters about Korea.

"What is the population of Korea now?" Zhao Chen first looked at Kang'an and said.

"Korea has a population of about seven million!" Kang An said at the moment, in charge of the intelligence office.

"Korea has a lot of population, better than Jurchen and Khitan!" Zhao Chen said.

"Koryo is separated from the rest of the mainland and is free from wars. In addition, they learn from our Han people and also advocate culture, education, and farming. Therefore, there are a lot of people in small places." Yu Yunwen said.

"No wonder their small country can have 500,000 soldiers and horses." Yue Fei also nodded, and said.

"Twenty years ago, Goryeo had only more than 200,000 soldiers and horses! Later, Jurchen rose and attacked Goryeo. Although it was blocked by the Great Wall, Goryeo was still frightened and recruited soldiers!" Kang Andao.

"How is King Goryeo?" Zhao Chen asked.

"The King of Korea, Wang Kai, has a weak temperament. He was enthroned at the age of fourteen and is now twenty-five. In the early years, Li Ziqian, a powerful minister in Korea, was in power. Li Ziqian married his two daughters to Wang Kai. At that time, he was completely a puppet! Five years ago, Goryeo general Cui Zhuo led his troops to kill Li Ziqian. This Cui Zhuo was a loyal minister. Although he controlled the military power, he did not usurp the throne. Wang Kai also trusted him very much.” Kang Andao.

In this era, Goryeo is still the "Wang family of Goryeo" in history, and Wang Kai is the "Koryo Renzong" in history! His cowardly temperament, he succeeded to the throne at the age of fourteen, and then he was controlled by the power minister. This man did nothing in his life, but because of his mild personality, he hardly killed a minister in his life, so he was called "Renzong."

"Is the Great Wall of Korea really difficult to break?" Zhao Chen said again.

"Master Kang, does your Intelligence Office have an accurate map of Korea?" Yue Fei said.

"Your Majesty and you adults, please wait a moment!" Kang An said.

After a while, the officer from the Intelligence Service sent an accurate map of the Gaoli and Liaodong areas.

On this map, Baozhou and Dingzhou west of the Yalu River, Zhenhai Mansion, Yaozhou, Chenzhou on the Liaodong Peninsula, etc. have all been occupied by Goryeo! When Wu Jie's navy went northward, they broke through these places. Unfortunately, it was mainly to harass the 100,000 Jurchens led by Wanyan Zonghan. Their main purpose was to eliminate the local garrison. They did not really occupy these places. They are now touched by the Koreans. Cheap.

As for the Great Wall of China, it stretches from Fuyu City in the northeast to the sea in the southwest. The scale is pretty good. This is a defense project built by Goryeo Dezong two hundred years ago.

"Neither the Khitans nor the Jurchens can pass through the Great Wall, nor can we pass here by relying solely on cavalry. However, we are different from the Khitans and Jurchens. We have a navy! Your Majesty, the Admiral thinks that even now, even for military considerations, We can't fight against the Goryeos in Liaodong, nor can we take back these cities in Liaodong." Yue Fei said after a while pondering.

"Oh? What do you say?" Zhao Chen said.

"The number of soldiers and horses in Goryeo has reached 500,000. In any case, this is not a small number! They occupy all parts of Liaodong, station troops in various places, and confront us, so that most of their country's troops will be put on Here! If the war really begins, our Dasong navy can cross the sea to fight and enter Goryeo, then Goryeo will be empty! Now if all these cities in Liaodong are knocked down, Goryeo will inevitably have the same enemy and full conscription. They will be in the country. With a geographical advantage, it will not be so easy to attack by then!" Yue Fei said.

"General Yue is right! We are now asking them to put all their forces in Liaodong. In the future, naval assault will be the first means of attack. Whether it is Kaijing or Pyongyang, it is close to the sea. After we break through Kaijing or Pyongyang, At that time, the Goryeo soldiers and horses in Liaodong and other places must provide emergency assistance to the country. At that time, General Yue led his troops to pursue and kill, and the navy could go northward to encircle and wipe out the main force of Goryeo in Liaodong!" Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen, Yue Fei and others were here to discuss the future war in Korea, and it took a long time to stop.

"Write a report on these, and then the General Staff Headquarters will have to discuss it! In addition, you are working diligently here, and the Staff Headquarters will continue to send people to investigate the Korean intelligence! In short, we must be fully prepared and wait until Liaodong is stabilized. The momentum of the thunderbolt broke through Goryeo!" Zhao Chen said.

On February 11th and 12th, Zhao Chen stayed in the city of Liaoyang. He continued to train with the soldiers. In the evening, he continued to discuss with Yue Fei and others about the attack on Goryeo.

On February 13, Zhao Chen, Wang Shu, Kang An and others led the imperial camp to leave Liaoyang. On February 16, they came to Jinzhou. Now there is also a Korean military camp to the east of Jinzhou. Yue Yun and Liang Hao led 15 thousand. Thousands of cavalry guarded Goryeo east of Jinzhou, Zhao Chen inspected the army here, and left here the next day.

In the middle of the night on February 18, Zhao Chen and his party came to Shanhaiguan, where some militiamen transferred from the Guanshan Production and Construction Corps are now stationed, but the General Staff Headquarters has already intentionally converted the militiamen here into active duty.

In the early morning of February 19, Zhao Chen looked around at Shanhaiguan, only to see the peaks and ridges gathering together and the waves like anger. He was deeply moved.

"It's a picturesque country! But the surroundings are still not peaceful! The Koreans actually want to restore Goguryeo, the Mongols often go south to looting property, and the Tubo tribes in the west. These must be completely surrendered! Mainly domestic, in the past. In the past two years, the domestic economy has only recovered and the people have begun to have food to eat, but the real reform has not yet begun, and the national system has not undergone a complete change. China is still a feudal society! I have a heavy responsibility and will face challenges in the future, but I like challenges !" Zhao Chen raised his eyes and looked around, secretly said.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go." Kang An walked up and said.

"Okay! Return to Yanjing!" Zhao Chen smiled.

They set off in the early morning of February 19, and until the afternoon of February 23, they finally arrived outside Yanjing City.
