Chapter 1731 King Goryeo
Chen Keqiu said solemnly: "My lords, I know your concerns. Even if I am in danger, how can I borrow the strength of the Goryeo people? But you should also know that when this moment of danger, the first thing is to quell the rebellion and return to Luo'an. The north is uneven. How can your highness's troops go south to pacify the Tianmen Road? Now Hexi is the foundation. If Your Highness fails to sweep the north, once you go south and the rear is empty, the consequences will definitely be unimaginable."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.
"There is some truth to what Chen Jingshi said." Xue Huaian hesitated for a moment and said to the prince carefully: "Hexi has not been completely stable so far. If it cannot stabilize the north, your highness cannot go south easily."
An official said: "Chu Huan was blocked west of Xigu Pass. As long as Xigu Pass is guarded, the Northwest Army will not be a big problem. However, if the Liaodong Army has ambitions, Chi Liandian will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to enter when His Highness goes south...!"
Chen Keqiu immediately said, "So if the north is not pacified, Your Highness must not go south to use troops. Moreover, once Your Highness pacified the north, the court's reputation will be greatly shocked. When the time comes, he will go south to suppress the bandits, and he will be out of the way."
The prince touched his chin and said, "What do you mean is that the biggest enemy at present is Chi Lian Di?"
"This is exactly what the old minister means." Chen Keqiu said: "If nothing unexpected happens, in the opinion of the old minister, Chi Lian Die will be the largest mountain for His Highness to revive the Qin Dynasty. As long as it is pacified, all the bandits in the world will not be a problem."
Xue Huaian said: "Chief Chen, let alone whether the Goryeo people can obey the orders of orders, even if they really send troops, once they are known that the court borrows troops from Goryeo, the court's reputation is afraid...!"
Another minister on the side had already frowned and said, "The Goryeo people once occupied Liaodong and did evil in Liaodong. The people of Liaodong hate the Goryeo people. If it were just the court to send troops to fight against each other, the people of Liaodong might still hesitate. However, if the Goryeo invades, the entire Liaodong will inevitably fight with Goryeo. Once they know that the court borrowed troops from Goryeo, they would inevitably develop resentment towards the court...!"
The prince nodded slightly and said, "I am also worried."
Chen Keqiu smiled and said, "Your Highness and all the great masters don't have to worry about this."
"oh?"
Chen Keqiu said: "Your Highness, the strength of the Goryeo people is naturally not comparable to that of our Great Qin, but if you really want to compete with the Liaodong Army, you may not necessarily lose to the Liaodong Army."
Xue Huaian said: "Chief Chen, you can't say that. Since the founding of the country, the Liaodong army has been in the northeastern border, and the Goryeo people are unable to move forward. Moreover, the Liaodong army has repeatedly invaded the territory of Goryeo, and the Goryeo people are defeated almost every battle. It is said that the Goryeo people are frightened when they hear the name of the Liaodong army. They are extremely afraid of the Liaodong army...!"
"It's true." An official next to him said: "Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the Goryeo people have repeatedly invaded the country, but they have retreated in a mess every time. Now even the resistance is very weak... The following officials' opinions, the Goryeo people will not act rashly."
"Everyone, you should know that the Goryeo people are also extremely warlike." Chen Keqiu said: "They were defeated repeatedly by the Liaodong Army. Although Chi Liandian is good at leading troops, the Liaodong Army is good at fighting. Another crucial reason is that behind Chi Liandian and the Liaodong Army, our Great Qin Empire has always been supported by our Great Qin Empire. How can Goryeo's national strength be compared with our Great Qin? You have said just now that the Goryeo people fought repeatedly and were not killed, and the thieves are not killed, which shows that they are not killed in Liaodong."
A strange smile appeared on the prince's lips: "Chiliandian has been trying to disturb the enemy in Goryeo. Over the years, almost every year, he has sent troops to plunder and kill the border of Goryeo. The people of Goryeo are afraid of Chilidian!
"That's true." Chen Keqiu said: "The Goryeo people are warlike, and the Goryeo King Jinshan Pang is a very popular person...!" He looked at Xue Huaian and said: "When the Goryeo envoy went to the capital, Xuebutang had contact with the Goryeo people, and he should have a little knowledge of the Goryeo people."
Xue Huaian nodded and said, "Today's Goryeo, also known as Goryeo of the Jin Dynasty, less than fifty years ago, Goryeo was called Goryeo of the Li Dynasty, and King of the Goryeo was the Li clan. The last Goryeo of the Li Dynasty was foolish and incompetent. Jin Shanpang's grandfather Jin Yuecheng was originally a general of the Li Dynasty. Taking advantage of the chaos of Goryeo's country, he launched a coup, replaced the Li Dynasty, and proclaimed himself the King of Goryeo... The Jin Dynasty established a country with martial arts and was powerful. At its peak, he was armed with 150,000 armor, and he was indeed elite soldiers and powerful generals."
Everyone stared at Xue Huaian and listened to his narration.
"During the rebellion of the five prefects in the previous dynasty, the world was in chaos. Jin Shanpang took the opportunity to lead his troops to invade Liaodong and occupy the entire Liaodong area." Xue Huaian said solemnly: "After the Goryeo people occupied Liaodong, they set Liaodong as an administrative area of Goryeo and included the Goryeo territory. Moreover, the Goryeo people were entrusted with heavy taxes in Liaodong, and they were as cruel as wolves. Until Chi Liandian recovered Liaodong, the Goryeo people had been domineering in Liaodong for twenty years."
"The Liaodong people's hatred for the Goryeo people began from that time." Chen Keqiu nodded slightly.
Xue Huaian continued: "After Jin Yuecheng's son inherited the throne of Goryeo, he continued to expand his army, but this man's life span was not long, and he returned to the west after a few years. Jin Shanpang inherited the throne of Goryeo." He stroked his beard gently: "Jin Shanpang is very cunning, but very cruel. It is said that this man practices arrows and targets living people. At least four or five hundred people die under his arrows every year. Moreover, he likes to hunt, but it is not wild animals. When Goryeo occupied Liaodong, Liaodong specially built a palace with Jin Shanpang. Every autumn, this man would lead a large number of troops to hunt in Liaodong, driving thousands of people from Liaodong into the mountains, and then surrounded the mountains. He took people into the mountains to hunt, and enjoyed killing!"
The prince sneered on his lips and did not speak.
"After Chi Liandian recovered Liaodong, Jin Shanpang was naturally unwilling to give up. In the first few years, he sent troops almost every year, but he suffered heavy casualties and caused the national strength to weaken." Xue Huaian said: "After that he was unable to launch an attack, so he could only retreat again and again. Under Chi Liandian's step-by-step pressing, he finally sent envoys to our Qin Dynasty and beg for surrender to the ministers."
Chen Keqiu nodded and said, "Do you think that with Jinshanpang's temperament, will you be willing to surrender under Chi Liandian's feet?"
Xue Huaian shook his head and said, "When Chi Lian Dian entered Beijing, he once reported to the emperor about Goryeo. Jin Shanpang knew that it was not my enemy of Daqin, so he was forced by the situation and he was very resentful to me Daqin in his bones, and he had a deep hatred for Chi Lian Dian and the Liaodong Army. Chi Lian Dian said in the court that although Goryeo was obedient, he must not give up the Goryeo people lightly. In fact, his strategy to disturb the enemy was also reported to the court that he would harass Goryeo constantly to curb their rest and recuperate so as not to cause great trouble. Once the Goryeo people have a hard wing, there will inevitably be troubles on the northeast border."
The prince said: "In other words, the Koreans have always been ill-hearted and are accumulating their strength, waiting for one day to take revenge?"
Chen Keqiu said, "Jinshanpang must have this idea." After a pause, he said, "Then the old minister said that if Chi Liandian had the intention of rebellion, he could borrow the Goryeo King Jinshanpang to let the Goryeo and Chi Liandian fight each other. This not only in order to pacify Chi Liandian in Liaodong, but also to take this opportunity to greatly weaken the strength of the Goryeo people. They both suffered losses, which is very beneficial to the court."
Xue Huaian said: "Mr. Shen, if they can really make both sides suffer, it will naturally be the best result. But... King Goryeo is cunning and well aware of Chi Liandian's strength, he has endured it over the years. Will he act rashly at this time?"
"The old minister is sure that as long as a clever and eloquent person is sent to lobby, the King of Goryeo has a 90% chance of sending troops." Chen Keqiu said: "For the past few years, Chi Lian Electric has been suppressing the Goryeo people. Not only Jinshanpang has resentment, but the soldiers of Goryeo must also be resentful. Today, Goryeo is just a pile of dry firewood. As long as there is a suitable Martian jumping up, it can burn immediately."
"Lobbying?" The prince pondered for a moment, as if he was still considering whether to borrow the Goryeo's troops. After a while, he finally said: "Does Lord Shen have a suitable candidate?"
Chen Keqiu stood up and bowed, "The most suitable candidate is the old minister!"
Everyone was stunned.
The prince frowned slightly, "Mr. Shen, you...!"
"Your Highness, when the Qin Dynasty was in a critical moment, the old minister could not go into battle to kill the enemy for Youth Highness, but was willing to offer his three-layered tongue and do his best to do his best for Youth Highness." Chen Keqiu said solemnly: "The old minister will definitely do his best to lobby the King of Goryeo to send troops. If he cannot succeed, the old minister will be cut off from Goryeo and die in a foreign land!"
The corners of the prince's eyes twitched slightly, "Mr. Shen, this... you are old and go to Goryeo and run all the way, I...!"
Chen Keqiu smiled and said, "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about the old minister. Even if the old minister dies, he will wait until he meets King Goryeo and lobby King Goryeo..."
Many people present showed admiration. Xue Huaian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, who do you mean to go to Goryeo? If you represent the court, the Goryeo will never keep the secret. They will definitely promote this matter..."
"Of course, it will not represent the court, and the old ministers will definitely try their best to separate their relationship with the court." Chen Keqiu smiled and said, "The old minister went to Goryeo this time as an envoy of the Qingtian King!"
"Blue Heavenly King?" Everyone changed their color.
Chen Keqiu said: "That is, the old minister will seek to see King Goryeo as the envoy of the Qingtian King. He only said that King Goryeo was willing to form an alliance with King Goryeo and attacked Chilian Die on both sides of Liaodong." He also said: "The Goryeo people are eyeing Liaodong. There is no way that the Goryeo people are not without the eyes and ears of the Goryeo people. King Goryeo must also know that Liaodong is fighting against the Qingtian King Hebei to death. At this time, I will go as the envoy of the Qingtian King, and I will definitely win the trust of King Goryeo."
