Chapter 46 The Eight Directions Press the Sword to Hidden Wind and Thunder (13)
【First update.】
Just like the thunder before the heavy rain, from far to near, a pair of hard-soled arrow boots stepped heavily on the corridor that had paved the floor.
Yang Congxian, the commander of the Eastern Jingdong Road, was walking forward with a gloomy face.
His blood-filled eyes, his raised eyebrows, and his right hand pressing the sword tightly on his waist all showed that he was extremely angry.
The new Goryeo Prime Minister Jin Ti chased Yang Congxian and shouted, "General Yang! General Yang! Please calm down, please calm down!"
Yang Congxian turned a deaf ear to him. There were palace maids and guards in front of him, but when he saw him looking to choose someone, he was so scared that his hands and feet trembled and went to the side. None of them dared to stand up and stop him.
Only Jin Ti ran hard and finally caught up. He gasped and couldn't speak, and reached out to pull Yang Congxian's sleeve. When the breath calmed down slightly, he hurriedly said: "General, general, you have something to say, and you have something to say!"
Yang Congxian looked down at the hand that was pulling his sleeves, and remained silent.
Jin Ti hurriedly pulled his hand back and smiled, "General, this is really not about the king of the country, it is not good for the subordinates to do things. In another two days... five days, uh, ten days... half a month, half a month, there will be rewards!"
Yang Congxian's answer was to raise his foot and kick it out hard.
With a loud bang, the door leading to the Xinwang Xinggong Palace in Goryeo was kicked open.
Yang Congxian glanced at Jin Ti, who was as stupid as a chicken, and strode in.
This palace for the new Goryeo king was originally lent to the Goryeo monarch and ministers who came here to take refuge. Years of vassal relationships have also given a group of desolate settlements. The first thing this newly crowned and ascended the throne moved in was to transform the palace and have the dignity of a country.
Danluo Island is a small and wild country, just a distance from Goryeo, so it has to be called a vassal and vassal. The king of the country is called Xingzhu, which has been passed down on the island for hundreds of years. Long before the founding of the Wang Goryeo Kingdom, the tribute of the Danluo Kingdom to the peninsula began. Now every generation of Star Lord will go to Goryeo to meet the King of Goryeo.
This time, a group of stray dogs and more than a thousand defeated soldiers arrived. Goryeo's old ministers who had received the news came one after another, crossing the Hainan and piecing together the new imperial court of Goryeo in the ports and forts borrowed by the Danluo Kingdom.
Wang Xun, the new Goryeo king who was supported by them, was not because of his blood relationship and how close he was to the king, but because his name was Wang Xun, who had the same name as the prince who had died in the Liao camp. It was just right to use it to condense the hearts of the people in the Goryeo country. They were far away from the other side of the sea and it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity. If this misunderstanding can also make more righteous men come.
Yang Congxian did not get involved in the internal affairs of Goryeo's escape from the imperial court. He had been renovating the port, intending to turn the Danluo Kingdom into the base of the Song Dynasty's navy overseas. In addition, to prevent the Liao army from following closely, military precautions must be taken.
While he was still immersed in the progressive civil engineering, a bad news came, and the Khitans who occupied Goryeo were unsatisfied. They actually crossed the sea and advanced eastward and sent troops to attack Japan.
And the number of troops they sent...100,000!
Yang Congxian clearly remembered that when he met him in Hangang, he mentioned that the Liao Kingdom, which occupied Goryeo, had the possibility of attacking Japan.
Since Han Gang mentioned it in person before, the facts have now confirmed it. No matter whether Han Gang denies this possibility himself, did he just say it casually and forget everything afterwards. Yang Congxian understood that he had to regard the Khitan invasion of Japan as something Han Gang had already advised him before. If he didn't do it well now, it was all his fault!
After being in the officialdom for decades, Yang Congxian would not have known how to treat his superiors even if he was a military general.
The noble prime minister, the only one who runs his errands is to hold the imperial edict. Forget what is wrong, praise what is right, and even more so, the one who is a little bit off the edge must be taken to the foresight. You must never point out mistakes clearly, as that is ten times more miserable than the result of honest confession.
But now, even if you want to confess your guilt honestly, you will not end up well. Not to mention the fact that the Liao army crossed the sea and invaded Japan in advance, even the number of troops sent by the Liao Kingdom was not found out. The court may still forgive him, an incompetent navy general?
The first time was the two dizzy Japanese monks who said that they could be treated as being scared and talked in vain. But this time, King Wang Xun of Goryeo still told him that the Liao people did dispatch 100,000 troops to cross the sea. Using this as a reason, they claimed that the Liao Kingdom had empty troops in Goryeo and asked the court to send a large army to restore the country for him!
Yang Congxian wanted to strangle this incompetent and stupid King of Goryeo. If the Liao people had this ability and had so many people and ships, they would have made a big fuss in Jiangnan long ago. What should I do when I go to the place where birds do not shit in Japan? Will it not be uncomfortable to hold oil in the stone?
At that time, he swallowed the bird's breath and sent someone to inquire after coming out. Only then did he realize that the spy sent out had not come back at all, and it was completely the number Wang Xun said casually.
If he reports this number, he will be dead. In the officialdom, there will be no future.
Whether it is Zhang Dun, Han Gang, or the two prime ministers that Yang Congxian had contacted, they all valued their subordinates' abilities the most, and they never rubbed sand in their eyes. How could they be fooled by the news that was completely unreasonable? Even if he wanted to make up a number and get away with it, he would not go crazy with the army and the court sent by the court.
This errand has been done, how many more opportunities can those two give themselves?
Yang Congxian couldn't imagine what would his two backers do if he sent this 100,000 to the capital.
Now he fell on Danluo Island to survive, which can be said to be a crime of non-war. When he arrived in Goryeo, the outer islands that were slightly closer to Beijing were mostly captured by the Liao people, and those who were not captured were small and barren, without any obstacles, and could not be used as bases at all. He could only go south and settle down in the only vassal state of Goryeo.
It is also understandable that the Liao army had not been discovered before and the number of Liao people who reported it to the court crossed the sea. From Goryeo to Japan, it was not necessary to pass through Danluo Island. After all, the 100,000 came from the monk who had just escaped from Kyushu Island, rather than his own conjectures and lies. But even so, he also stated that it was what the Japanese monk said, and he was trying to find out the real number.
But now, I hope that the Koreans are on the opposite peninsula, hoping that they can find out the real number to make up for the past. But the stupid Wang Xun wanted to deceive the court to send troops, but he insisted on 100,000. He did not complete the tasks entrusted by the court, and could not even grasp the most basic military information. Yang Congxian, can he still put the blame on others? Can he say that this is not my fault, it is all Wang Xun's fault?
The prime ministers in the court would not care so much, and the evaluation left to him would only be the word "incompetence".
There was not much time left for him Yang Congxian. He and his troops were outsiders. It was impossible for him to sneak into Goryeo to find out how many soldiers and horses there were in the Liao Kingdom across the sea, nor could they divide their troops to Japan, and to go to Kyushu Island, where they were unfamiliar with their lives to find out the details. They could only rely on the power of the exiled court in Goryeo in its own country.
But the King of Goryeo Wang Xun, who ascended the throne, was a waste. He would reject dissidents and kill brothers, but he would not lie on firewood and taste gall, and burn his boats. After wanting to rely on this incompetent king who assassinated several relatives, he would lie in the backyard to enjoy his concubines, which was equivalent to throwing his future into the pit.
This can't continue. After Yang Congxian found out clearly, he immediately led his troops to the palace of the small court of Goryeo.
Following him, there were hundreds of guards, only Jinti dared to catch up, while other ministers did not dare to take a step forward.
Yang Congxian had made up his mind, but it was not something that Jin Ti could change.
The palace of the King of Goryeo is just a not-so-large courtyard.
Yang Congxian broke into the yard and completely tore his face.
Wang Xun, who heard the news, hurried out, his clothes were not tidy, and there were traces of rouge on his face that had not been wiped out.
"General Yang, why are you here?...My husband, why don't you treat General Yang to Gu! Gu goes in and change his clothes and comes out after a while."
Seeing that Yang Congxian was aggressive, Wang Xun immediately limped. As he said that, he wanted to push the blame on Jin Ti, and turned around and wanted to leave. However, he was grabbed by Yang Congxian's guard, and firmly mounted it on the left and right, and escorted it in front of Yang Congxian.
Wang Xun struggled: "General Yang, what is this doing?"
"Thank you, your king. Thank you for informing the military information." Yang Congxian's tone was gloomy, just like the snow outside, without any warmth. "I open my mouth and say 100,000 troops, and I want the court to take the opportunity to send troops. If I spread your words to the capital, please let Zhang Shumi, what do Han Xuanhui think of me, Yang Congxian?!"
"Gu knows that he is wrong!Gu knows that he is wrong!Gu will send someone to inquire now... A few days ago,Gu told his husband that he would be the prince of the general. This Danluo Kingdom will be granted to you. If it is not enough, you can choose any of the five paths and two realms. General Yang... General Yang!"
When Yang Congxian saw him like this, his heart was even more furious. After the Goryeo ministers supported this Wang Xun, he still said in the secret memorial handed over to him at the same time that this person was useful.
He was obviously just a royal family, but he wanted to put on a regular style of the prince of Goryeo ascended the throne. Wang Xun wanted to repair the palace, and Yang Congxian asked the Lord of Danluo to recruit civilians and rebuild the mansion for him. Wang Xun wanted a ceremonial guard, and Yang Congxian also distributed some armor and weapons to him. At that time, he still felt that this was a legitimate request. Without any majesty, how could he make the loyal ministers and righteous men who came to surrender believe that there was a possibility of restoring the country? Yang Congxian tolerated it.
Yang Congxian was so angry that he wanted to hit the wall. For this incompetent waste, he wasted two months. There were several other royal families who came to the island before, but they all died overnight. For the sake of the overall situation, Yang Congxian pretended not to see it. If they were still alive, Wang Xun would not dare to be so presumptuous.
"Ambassador Jin." Yang Congxian ignored Wang Xun and turned to face Jin Ti.
Since Jin Ti helped Wang Xun ascended the throne, he was named Prime Minister. However, Yang Congxian waited for the Song people and never called him a husband once.
"I believe you understand, the ambassador, why did the imperial court send me this in the future? If I can't do it, I can only go back to Beijing to apologize." Yang Congxian said in a cold voice. The personal soldiers following behind all their eyes were full of murderous aura.
"Isn't it that I'm upholding the orthodox and saving me from Goryeo?!"
"What the court wants is the Goryeo king who wants to restore the country, rather than the monarch who lives in the room and plays with women. It would be fine if the country is not restored. Even if you can't find out the news, what else can the court do with such a waste? Why not have it?!"
"General Yang, what do you want?"
"Substitution."
