Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

Gao Taixiang was temporarily subdued, but Su Xia understood that in order to capture Goryeo as soon as possible, he must first pay attention to people who were born in Goryeo.

At least let Goryeo become its own vassal state.

Unlike the Dali Kingdom, if you want to conquer Goryeo, you must fight.

The navy has always been the force that Su Xia relied on in the past. The invention of the steam engine made Su Xia's navy unique in the world. Li Dong's return made him even more powerful.

In Dengzhou, Li Dong, who had been away for two years, returned with more than [-] naval troops and more than [-] warships.

Looking at Li Dong, Su Xia couldn't help but think about it.

He whispered a few words in Li Dong's ear. After hearing this, Li Dong opened his mouth wide and his expression suddenly changed: "Lord, this is too dangerous."

Although Gaijing, the capital of Goryeo, was thousands of miles away from Song Dynasty, for them, the news of Song Dynasty's destruction also reached their ears.

As a country caught in the eyes of the Khitan people, that land was not attractive. In the past, they had always been thinking about the Song Dynasty. After the death of the Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom was eyeing them and constantly encroaching.

The relationship between the Song Dynasty and Goryeo was relatively distant, but I heard that the Hua Kingdom established by Su Xia made the King of Goryeo not sure whether he was happy or worried. In essence, he was leaning towards China, regardless of whether it was the Song Dynasty or the Chinese. At least it was far away from his own homeland. It is impossible to fly out of thin air by looking at the sea, but the Jin and Liao kingdoms are different. They don't look down on themselves at all. They can only be servants and obedient. They think that their ancestors destroyed Silla in 935 and 936. After the destruction of Baekje, it was passed down to his own generation. King Ruizhong was almost in tears. At this time, a messenger came to pay homage.

In the past, most of the kings of Goryeo accepted the canonization of Song Dynasty. Although they did not completely obey the leadership of Song Dynasty in name, they had some connections. Su Xia destroyed the Zhao family, so for him, Wang Ma, it was natural for him to inherit Song Dynasty's power over Goryeo. s right.

Especially in the past six months, the economic and cultural exchanges between the two countries have been quite close.

Ruizhong Wangma hurriedly welcomed the messenger. The messenger was none other than Yuan Wenjing, who had just been subdued. With Yuan Wenjing's sharp tongue, she introduced all kinds of treasures sent, "Liu Li Zhu" "Twenty boxes," twenty boxes of "glazed cups," "ironware," and "silk" can be loaded on the ship.

In fact, these are all products of Su Xia's industry. After several rounds of development, they have become less valuable.

But to the King of Goryeo, these are all rare treasures, especially the "soap" invented by Su Xia. Before the Song Dynasty was conquered, he earned a lot of foreign exchange through soap technology. Now, it is used as a gift in large quantities. It was given to the Kingdom of Koryo, which made the King of Koryo, Wang Ma, and all the ministers a little confused.

Although the relationship between Song and himself was good in the past, the most they would do was give small favors, and there was no way he could give so many gifts.

Could it be that they and Jin are going to war and want us to join the war?

Just as he was thinking about it, Yuan Wenjing put away that flattering smile. As an envoy abroad, he had more important things to say, "Your Majesty, I would like to share a small matter. I just want a few people to discuss it in detail."

Early the next morning, Wang Maru and several of his staff secretly met with Yuan Wenjing.

Unexpectedly, after they took their seats, the visiting envoy Yuan Wenjing sat on the opposite side, leaving the main seat vacant.

Wang Ma was a little confused and asked hurriedly: "Why don't you, the envoy of the state, take your seat?"

Yuan Wenjing hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty, it is our Majesty of China who has come in person. He has important matters to discuss with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xia stood up among several envoys wearing the same clothes.

Yuan Wenjing bowed slightly and introduced: "This is our lord of China."

Wang Maru and others were so surprised that they didn't know what to say. The monarch of China was actually hiding here.

Su Xia smiled slightly, looked at the dumbfounded person and said: "Emperor Ruizhong, don't be too surprised. You and I are kings, so we must be careful in our actions. If I inform you in advance of my personal visit, I am afraid that the fine work of the Jin Kingdom will be with me." If it is not good, it will be blamed on Goryeo and harm the harmony between you and me. Today you and I are spying here. Only a few people here know about it. It is said that God knows and earth knows and we know."

After hearing what he said, Prince Ruizhong still refused to believe that the young man in front of him was Su Xia. Although he knew that Su Xia was a young monarch, he dared to take such a big risk to come here. Naturally, he thought it would be a shame to come. Terrified.

Thinking of this, he asked doubtfully: "May I ask, Your Majesty, would you personally bend down to come to me?"

Su Xia smiled slightly and said: "Borrow the way to collect money."

"This......"

Ruizhong Wangma and several people around him looked at each other and looked at each other. After all, this was not a trivial matter. They were at the forefront of the Jin Kingdom. He did not dare to offend anyone, but if he was asked to use a way to attack, how could he Don't even dare.

"Not long after the founding of the Jin Kingdom, our Huaxia Kingdom has hundreds of thousands of elites. Even the Dali Kingdom has surrendered to me without even leaving the country to seek the moon. Think about it, what will happen to the Jin Kingdom." Yuan Wenjing added at the side.

When the two of them talked, Su Xia looked at Ruizhong Wangma and said: "Our 15 land and water army has been prepared and can land immediately."

After hearing Su Xia's words, Ruizhong Wangma was even more confused: "You guys, where did you land from?"

"The land of your country. Then we will go straight across the Xishui River to fight with Jin. The Kingdom of Jin has always been eyeing our land in the Central Plains, so we have to prepare in advance."

Zhushui: The ancient names of the Yalu River are Mazishui and Zhushui.

The more Wang Ruizhong heard this, the more chills ran down his spine. He didn't want to fight, so he just had to compromise.

He was still thinking about how to reject Su Xia. Su Xia smiled and said: "Actually, when we get here, sooner or later Jin will know. Wanyan Aguda is not someone to be trifled with. Maybe when he gets angry, his cavalry will be killed in a moment." After killing here, until then?"

Ruizhong Wangmata said tremblingly: "Is there no other way to go?"

"Except for us, your place is the only land route that can lead to Jin. Of course, if you are willing to send troops, after Jin is destroyed in the future..."

"No no no no no"

Ruizhong Wangma quickly refused, but Su Xia didn't care so much and said with a cold expression: "Do you think Aguda will let you go? To tell you the truth, your court is full of Jin Guo spies. You don't know it yourself. , even if you don’t welcome me, when my 15-strong army lands, I will first help His Majesty to recruit Qingjun. The Jin Kingdom has lost so many spies here. Once our army leaves, do you think he will let you go easily?"

"But, our country of Goryeo is not a soft persimmon." After Ruizong Wangmu finished speaking, he wanted to stand up angrily. After finishing his words, he said viciously: "Don't forget, you are still in my hands! I’ve detained you, but I don’t believe that your soldiers will not retreat!”
