Come to Song Dynasty with the system

Chapter 695: Soldiers Enter Huangcaoling

A long time ago, Goryeo recognized the Song Dynasty as its suzerainty. Later, when the Khitans became stronger, they simply switched to the Liao Kingdom as their suzerainty.And because of their seclusion for a while, coupled with the high-level extravagance of the Liao Kingdom, and the weakening of external control, Goryeo gradually got rid of their control and became independent.

However, this kind of independence is not entirely achieved by oneself. It is just because the current Goryeo has many mountains and water, which really does not have much strategic value. In addition, the Liao Kingdom no longer has the original expansion ambition, which allows them to settle down in a corner.

It is conceivable that once a careerist emerges from the Liao Kingdom, it will only be a matter of time before Goryeo is attacked.

The so-called distant friendship and close attack meant that Goryeo wanted to make friends with the Song Dynasty and become allies with each other to contain their common neighbor, the Liao Kingdom.

But before they sent a ship to the Song Dynasty, they got the news that the people who rebelled against the Song Dynasty were coming to their own territory to seek a living.

"Your Majesty, we don't need to know Su Shi at all. He is just a traitor to the Song Dynasty. If he comes to us in Korea, he will be fish and meat on the table, and we can do whatever we want. Moreover, this is for us It is also a good opportunity. As long as we defeat them, capture this Su Shi, and present it to the Song Dynasty, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty will definitely be very happy. This will be a great influence on the relationship between us in the future. Promote."

Among the courtiers, General Pu Zijie stood up.

As one of the four great generals of Goryeo, Pu Zijie was only ranked third, but he was extremely warlike and easy to show off, which made him very famous. At least no one in Goryeo knew his name.

As soon as Pu Zijie spoke, Li Shanchang, the last of the four generals, also stood up and said, "General Pu is right. As a traitor general, Su Shi traveled thousands of miles to come to Korea. He must not have much ability. Such a person can be a perfect gift for us to make good friends with Da Song."

"Not bad."

When other courtiers heard these remarks, they nodded in agreement.

This is human nature. If Su Shi was really powerful, why would he run away so far?

Running so far proved that his strength was mediocre.

As for the news sent by the Liao people that Su Shi was not easy to deal with, it was just an exaggeration. Their purpose was to get Goryeo to ask Liao for help, and they took the opportunity to ask for benefits.

The courtiers of Goryeo thought they were very smart, but thanks to Zhang Jian's kindness, they all became stupid.

Wen Zong was a little worried at first, but after hearing the two generals' exchanges in court, he felt relieved. "Okay, if the generals have such confidence, I can feel at ease. But if the other party is coming, we always have to make some preparations."

As he spoke, Wenzong's eyes caught sight of the civil servant Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi, the most important minister of Goryeo, was equivalent to the prime minister of the Song Dynasty and the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

It was under a capable courtier like Zheng Zhi that Wenzong reformed Goryeo, which led to the so-called prosperous age of Wenzong.

Seeing the look in the eyes of King Wenzong Hui, Zheng Zhi knew what he was going to say, and immediately stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, we have to make some preparations. We can evacuate the people on the border with Liao State, and provide food Withdraw and let this man named Su Shi arrive and find nothing. If the army goes on an expedition without enough food and grass, the morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos. At that time, our Korean army will give a heavy blow and we will get twice the result with half the effort."

"Okay, okay, what Zheng Qing said is the way to build a country for a mature man, it's accurate." Wenzong was very happy after hearing this.

The other courtiers in the court also looked happy after hearing this. At this moment, they seemed to have seen the scene where Su Shi's army was hungry and died in a foreign country.

After Zheng Zhi's proposal was approved, the Goryeo people on the Liao-Gao border began to migrate, and they started to build strong walls and clear the country.

All the gentry and common people who had some surplus wealth began to move southward under this policy, leaving behind extremely poor people.

Seeing that the cold winter is not over yet and spring has not yet arrived, they don't know how to survive next.

Maybe one day, the Goryeo army will reappear here and defeat this Song Dynasty rebel general, but they can survive

Will you persist until that day?

But if they move under the order of the imperial court, what will they have to rely on to live in a new place without any money left.

Even if you leave, you may die, and if you stay, you may die. It is better to die in your hometown, at least it can be regarded as a fallen leaf returning to its roots, and there is no need to continue tossing.

......

On the New Year's Day of 1050, Su Shi spent time on the road with Su Jiajun.

The army rested for two days, had meals, celebrated, and had a bonfire party, which greatly diluted everyone's longing for being away from home.

In this year, the Song Dynasty also changed its year name, from the original Qingli to Shenyou.

In the first year of Shenyou, because of Su Shi's appearance, it was one year later than in history.

In February [-], after more than two months of trekking, the Su army finally arrived at Baozhou (later Yizhou), a city on the border between Liao and Goryeo.Following the army, they headed straight to Yongzhou in the east along the Great Wall, and finally entered Huangcaoling.

Huangcaoling is surrounded by mountains, and the peaks are rolling. There are very few fertile fields that can be used for farming.

The harsh geographical environment makes it difficult for the people here to have a real harvest even if they farm.Often when good times finally come, when the harvest is about to be good, the Liao cavalry will come from the mountains to snatch their life-saving food.

In a place with such a harsh environment, one can imagine how poor and impoverished the people who can stay are.

Su Shi's army came through the mountains, and when they appeared in the market town of Huangcaoling, they saw all the emaciated Korean people.

They all belong to the lowest level of the people who migrated without money and were abandoned by the King of Korea.

For them, they have never had enough to eat since the day they were born. For them, death is often the best relief.

How could a person who was not even afraid of death be afraid when he saw the well-equipped Su Jiajun coming? They all stared curiously at the Su Jiajun who was getting closer and closer. Their idea was very simple, that is, they could Can't ask for something to eat from these dignified looking hands.

Even if you die after eating it, at least you will become a dead ghost.

The Su family's army carriage passed through the market town. Everywhere they looked, they saw all the scrawny and half-clothed Korean people.

In February, although the cold winter has ended, the temperature is still hovering below zero. It is hard to imagine how they survived the winter with only a thin coat.

The Su family's army convoy entered Huangcaoling and stood guard along the street. They stood guard every three steps, one post and five steps. Facing the Korean people who were watching the excitement, as long as they did not take the initiative to approach them, they would be ignored.

In the largest carriage where Su Shi was, the curtain had already been lifted. When the four Lu Siqiao girls looked outside, they felt mixed emotions.

The other three women are all very well, and seeing them seems to remind them of their past.Speaking of which, none of them are wealthy people, and they all have the experience of not having enough to eat.

Only Zhao Huirou, who lived in the palace for a long time, saw such a scene for the first time, and couldn't help blurting out, "Why are these people so thin? Why don't they eat well? Could it be that they are sick?"

"My sister Rou, of course they know how to eat if there is food, but it is obvious that there is no food for them." Listening to this sigh, Ye Lengchan chuckled and moved to Zhao Huirou's side to explain.

They were not familiar with each other before, but now they are Su Shi's women. They naturally become familiar with each other after staying together every day.

Although it is true that Zhao Huirou is the eldest princess of Zhao Song, she is simple-minded and kind-hearted, and she was quickly accepted by the other three girls.Many times, when Su Shi was busy with important matters, the four girls would sleep together. The relationship was really good and couldn't be better.

At this point, Su Shi was very pleased.After all, if the harem is harmonious, he can spare more energy to do other things.

Not to mention what the four women were talking about there, after the Su Jiajun stopped, Long Yin team member Lao Youtiao, who had arrived here first not far away, walked towards here with two men.

Laoyoutiao was left in Huangcaoling by Meng Youde.

Must cooperate with the main work.Lao Youtiao, who has been staying here for more than a month, took several team members to get a clear picture of the situation here.

Even when the Goryeo people here retreated, Laoyoutiao existed. When Meng Youde led a group of team members to follow the people and left, he stayed and used this time to complete the work of some people.

The two local men, one old and one middle school, who followed Lao Youtiao were the ones he persuaded with some food.

Su Shi stepped out of the carriage, wearing a pure white cloak. With his height of 1.8 meters, he looked very majestic.

As soon as he stood up, he immediately gave people a very eye-catching feeling of standing out from the crowd.

"Wang, this is Huang Dake, and this is Zhou Shu. They are both natives of Goryeo who have lived here for generations."

When the old man stepped forward and introduced Su Shi, the two men across from him, weighing a combined [-] kilograms, knelt on the ground with a plop.

The cloak on Su Shi's body is pure in color, even the nobles they have seen before can't compare with it.Coupled with the address of the king, they couldn't help thinking that the person in front of them was the same as their King of Korea.Read the book

How could the people not kneel when they saw the king.

Su Shi did not stop the two from kneeling. Now he needs the awe of the local people.

As for influencing them, it will take time. Su Shi does not think that he is full of domineering energy. If he waves his arms, everyone will truly surrender to him.

What Su Shi wants is to conquer first, and then make the people inseparable from him, and finally completely surrender to and believe in himself.

Huang Dake and Huang knelt on the ground, lowering their heads. It seemed that only by doing this could they feel at ease.
