It was a cloudy day. The sky over Yanjing City was overcast with dark clouds, and it was about to rain, but An Pulin and Li Rui were in a very good mood.

After they arrived at the Yanjing Palace with dozens of attendants, they immediately sent someone to report, and it didn't take long for them to enter the palace.

Walking on the road to the palace, the wind gradually blew up, and it didn't take long for raindrops to fall in the sky.

"Along the way, the weather is hot, and now it's finally getting colder!" Li Rui smiled.

"The weather is cold, so we can negotiate with the Song people!" An Pulin smiled, breathing in the fresh air.

They kept walking forward, and after a while, they came to the front of the Yushufang.

Here, they were checked by the guards before they entered the Imperial Study Room.

The layout of the imperial study is simple and elegant. At this moment, Zhao Chen is sitting behind a table, and there are two other people in the imperial study—Wang Shu and Qu Duan.

Wang Shu is the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, the chief minister of the Military Aircraft Department, and Qu Duan is the head of the staff headquarters. It can be said that the civil and military leaders of the current court are all here, and An Pulin and Li Rui can't help but be taken aback.

"Koryo envoys pay a visit to His Majesty the Emperor Song!" An Pulin and Li Rui were stunned for a moment, then knelt down together and said in unison.

At this moment, the rain outside is gradually falling, and the sound of rain outside can also be heard in the imperial study room.

"Be flat!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

An Pulin and Li Rui stood up respectfully.

"Your Majesty, last time we discussed with Lord Wang Shu and decided to buy Liaodong with money and grain. This time we have brought a lot of money and grain, and we want to discuss peace talks again." An Pu Lin said.

"How much money, gold and silver did you bring?" Zhao Chen said.

"Money, gold and silver add up to 20 million taels of silver." An Pulin said.

"The small country of Korea did not expect to have so much money and food!" Zhao Chen said with a mocking smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, we have already brought the money. I don't know when Song Dynasty will give us Liaodong?" An Pulin said.

The sound of rain outside is getting louder and louder. Suddenly there is a feeling of quietness in the room at this moment. Everyone is silent, and their breathing is blocked by the sound of rain outside.

Zhao Chen stood up. He took a map from the bookshelf next to it and spread it on the table.

Wang Shu and Qu Duan were still sitting there, while An Pulin and Li Rui were curiously looking at the map on the table.

The map is very large, with Jiangnan, Central Plains, Yanyun and other places on it, as well as Liaodong and Goryeo. Zhao Chen's eyes have now been placed on Liaodong and Goryeo.

"On that day, I ascended the throne in Hanzhong and proclaimed the emperor. On the one hand, I decided to expel the Tartars and restore China. On the other hand, I decided to carry forward our Han civilization and bring our Han civilization to an unprecedented level of glory! Han and Tang Dynasties are considered to be a prosperous age, but I want to establish A flourishing age that is stronger and more prosperous than the Han and Tang Dynasties! This is my ambition!" Zhao Chen suddenly said something inexplicable.

An Pulin and Li Rui were stunned there, they didn't know what Zhao Chen meant.

"Liaodong has a vast land and abundant resources, and people of all ethnic groups are now multiplying here. After Liaodong passes through the mountains, there is an ice sheet. There is no human inhabitation on the ice sheet, but the mineral deposits there are very rich!" Zhao Chen said.

"How does your Majesty know where the mineral deposits are abundant?" An Pulin asked curiously.

What Zhao Chen said is exactly where Siberia will be for later generations. In this era, Siberia is basically uninhabited. Neither Chinese nor later Russians have come to this place yet! Because it is too cold here, everyone regards it as a useless place, but Zhao Chen knows that this place is second only to the Middle East for oil storage, and the reserves of coal, natural gas, metal, wood, etc. are also here. Very high, the later Russian mineral deposits are basically in Siberia. Zhao Chen will never let go of this precious land.

"You Gaoli, that is also a good place! It is located in the sea east of Yanjing, with a population of millions and a lot of wealth, and the environment is much better than that of Liaodong!" Zhao Chen ignored An Pulin and still took care of himself. Tao.

An Pulin and Li Rui were even more surprised, not knowing why Zhao Chen said these things today.

"After I became the capital of Yanjing, there is no country or nation on this land that can threaten the Song Dynasty. The only possible threat is from the sea, so I must beware of it!" Zhao Chen was silent for a moment and said again.

"Your Majesty, how can I beware?" An Pulin was even more curious.

"Using Goryeo and Shandong as barriers, the seas east of Yanjing will become our Da Song Inland Sea, and our Da Song Navy floods it. This is the first line of defense! In addition, Dongying and Ryukyu are the second line of defense. The enemy of the distant sea! In this way, we will not be afraid of the enemy on the sea! No matter how powerful the enemy on the sea comes, we will have enough time to react." Zhao Chen said.

"What!" An Pulin was in a daze, then for some reason, he suddenly felt chills all over his body!

It is now May of the lunar calendar, and summer has gradually entered. Even if it is rainy, it is only slightly cooler, but he feels as if a biting cold wind is blowing on him.

"What does your majesty mean?" Li Rui also felt a little dizzy in his head, and asked hurriedly.

"Don’t you understand what I mean? Liaodong is so rich, how can I let you? You Korea is just a small country, no matter whether it is national strength or military strength, I really don’t understand where you are so big. Appetite? Why are you so greedy? Why do you think that I am a fool from all over the world? Why do you look down upon me like this?" Zhao Chen sneered.

"Your Majesty, we are here to sign the contract." An Pulin said in a trembling voice.

"Signed a contract? Absurd, ridiculous! I am a great Song Dynasty, how can I sell my own land to others?" Zhao Chen shouted coldly.

"Your Majesty, we have already said, you can't help but be creditful!" An Pulin said anxiously.

"Credit? Do we need to talk about credibility with greedy and arrogant people like you? What's more, we have been negotiating before, but there has been no result! We have not signed a contract until now, have we? It's just a small country in the East China Sea. , You actually want to use credit to threaten me, do you think I really are such a pedantic person?" Zhao Chen said.

An Pulin and Li Rui felt that the sky was about to collapse at this moment! They had dealt with Zhao Chen several times, and each time Zhao Chen was very gentle. They had never been so overbearing, and they were at a loss for a while.

"If the order continues, I ordered Yue Fei to rate an army of 100,000, and Wu Jie to rate an army of 120,000, and immediately march into Goryeo! I ordered that within three months we will take Goryeo at all costs and capture King Goryeo alive and let him kneel before me!" Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Weichen obeyed!" Wang Shu and Qu Duan stood up and said in unison.

An Pulin and Li Rui were rushing towards the outside at this moment. Wang Shu looked at the backs of the two of them and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to stop them?"

Zhao Chen disdainfully said: "No! It's just two insignificant Korean envoys. Since they are in the Song Dynasty, everything is under our control! Our army has already set off. Are you afraid that the two of them will go back now? "

Although it was in the afternoon, the outside was extremely dark.

The rain was pouring, and the dozens of Korean servants were hiding under the eaves outside the palace. An Pulin and Li Rui rushed out from the inside panting at this moment.

"Two adults, what's the matter?" a servant leader asked in surprise.

"Quick! Return to Goryeo immediately! Right away!" An Pulin said.

Suddenly these attendants were stunned, and they didn't even know what happened.

"Go!" An Pulin said anxiously.

An Pulin and Li Rui still strode towards the front, they were afraid of the Song army chasing them.

It took a full two quarters of an hour to arrive at the gate of Yanjing City. After arriving here, they were surprised to find that the gate was not closed!

They came all the way on horseback. At this moment, the horses were stored at the gate of the city. Right now the two rode on their horses and headed towards Tianjin Wei. Dozens of attendants hurriedly followed them towards Tianjin Wei.

"Two adults, what's the matter?" The attendant leader caught up with An Pulin and Li Rui from behind, and asked again.

"The Song people are not going to negotiate with us at all, they are going to enter the army in Goryeo!" An Pulin said while panting.

"What? Advancing to Goryeo?" The guard leader said in disbelief.

"Yeah! Advancing to Goryeo! We were wrong, totally wrong!" An Pulin almost cried out anxiously.

Now Goryeo has no defenses, how can it be Da Song's opponent! Moreover, even though he told Jin Can that he was not afraid of Song Jun when he was in Renzhou, he knew in his heart that the Goryeo soldier Ma Wanwan was not Song Jun’s opponent!

"How could this happen? How could it happen? Didn't the Song people have a civil and military dispute? Isn't the Central Plains a piece of fat? Why did they dare to attack us? Why did their emperor suddenly become so tough? No, I guess I listened. Wrong! Ah!" An Pulin was soaked all over, he shouted frantically.

"My lord, don't be afraid, we still have the Great Wall!" Li Rui said.

"Yes! We will return to Goryeo immediately. No, we will immediately go to Liaodong and inform General Cui Zhuo to be on guard! That's it! We can defend Goryeo, even Liaodong! We have to build a great country like Goguryeo!" An Pu Lin murmured.

The heavy rain kept falling, and they drove day and night. In the middle of the night on July 14th, they came to Tianjin Wei.

Half of the horses had fallen to the ground from exhaustion along the way, and now only half of the attendants behind An Pulin and Li Rui followed.

They wanted to go to the port immediately and leave Tianjin Wei by boat. However, after arriving here, they discovered that Tianjin Wei had implemented martial law!

Even in the dark, there were countless soldiers standing guard and patrolling in Tianjin Guard. They were spotted by the soldiers as soon as they arrived. Hundreds of Song Army soldiers surrounded them with weapons pointed at them.

"Let us go!" An Pu Lin said.

"We are the envoys of Korea!" Li Rui said wittily.

"Dae Song and Goryeo have gone to war, and you, Goryeo, are now our enemy country! But your majesty has a purpose. If the two countries go to war, we will not kill you, but you can't run around!" A school lieutenant stood up. Road coldly.

"We want to return to Korea!" An Pulin said anxiously.

"This is impossible!" Xiao Wei said.

"Where is our ship?" An Pu Lin said.

"At the beginning of the war, your ship has long been towed to an abandoned dock next to it! Now the docks here are all transporting troops!" Xiaowei said.

"Trooping?" An Pulin showed a surprised expression on his face.

"We are going to take a look!" Li Rui said.

The captain thought for a moment and nodded.

After a while, An Pulin and Li Rui came to the pier. They saw hundreds of warships of exactly the same size and size lying on the sea. Countless soldiers of the Song Army boarded the warships at the fastest speed. No noise can be heard, only occasional commands and reports!

Ships headed towards the eastern sea, like a giant beast leaping forward.

"How many soldiers should there be?" An Pulin murmured.

"Tianjin Guard has a total of 50,000 navies, all of them are dispatched, and they will go straight to Beijing! The 40,000 navy of Dengzhou has already set off for Renzhou a few days ago! The 30,000 navy of Shizikou will depart for Haizhou soon!" Tao.

"We also have a navy in Korea." Li Rui said.

"You have 10,000 naval divisions in Korea, but they are scattered all over the country. They are definitely not our opponents!" Xiao Wei said.

"We also have a garrison in Kaijing!" Li Rui said.

"The number of your troops stationed in Kaijing reached 20,000! However, these 20,000 people have no combat experience and have not engaged in any wars! Most of our 120,000 troops have participated in the battle with Jurchen, and we have crossed the sea. After the battle forced Yan Zonghan to retreat to Liaoyang, we also participated in the final battle against Huanglong Mansion and Huining Mansion Jurchen. We are the best soldiers in hundreds of battles, and the world is strong!" Xiaowei said.

"We, Goryeo, cannot be wiped out by you! At the time of Goguryeo, Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Taizong of Tang conquered Goryeo several times, but none of them were defeated. You can't be stronger than them!" Li Rui felt chills all over, but it still kept going. Cheer yourself up.

"At that time it was Goguryeo, not Goryeo! Goguryeo at that time was considered to be a race, similar to Khitan and Jurchen, but now Goguryeo is much worse than Khitan and Jurchen! You stay here and wait and see, it will not be long before the entire Goryeo will be Was completely beaten by my Da Song!"

The rain continued to fall, and the naval soldiers boarded the ship in the rain. Hundreds of large ships are now heading eastward, drifting away...
