Chapter 398 Cao Zhen
In addition to talking to some generals from Wanling County and old friends, Li Changxian also privately summoned Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen has lived in Wanling County for seven or eight years and has long grown into a graceful and graceful girl because she has been studying chores in school all year round and has some literary style in her appearance.
"Cao Zhen, I invite you this time to tell you something. Your brother Cao Yun is no longer here!"
When Cao Zhen heard this bad news, he couldn't help crying. The family was destroyed in the early days, and only she and her brother fled. He thought that the two of them would depend on each other in the future, but he never thought that his brother would not escape the fate of death.
"Cry!"
Li Xiangyang could only make Cao Zhen cry loudly. Only in this way could she slowly recover from the pain.
After a while, Cao Zhen gradually started to sob from crying.
"How did my brother die?"
Li Changxian has been waiting for this sentence for a long time and has been a little annoyed.
"This matter is a bit long. I asked your brother to be responsible for the contact between the capital and Wanling County. Who knew that his identity as a Korean was exposed and he was threatened by some fleeing Korean nobles to provide support for them.
Your brother was very reluctant to contact them, but was forced to choose these fleeing Korean nobles to provide supplies.
Who knew that these fleeing nobles just used him and were discovered by the government. Not only did they not let your brother stay away from the dangerous land, but they fought stubbornly after the government arrived. In the end, they detonated gunpowder and razed the hidden place to the ground."
"So can't my brother's body be found?"
"If you can't find it, you're all covered in blood and flesh, and your limbs are everywhere. Even if you find it, you can't tell which ones are your brother's bodies."
Fearing that Cao Zhen would not believe it, Li Changxian waved to ask Li Zhu to take out the official residence report from that year, and Ma You and others' investigations into the Korean nobles.
"All the information is here, please read it slowly. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time!"
A day later, Cao Zhen found Li Changxian and said, "I want revenge!"
"Who are you going to deal with?"
"Gali Royal Family! If it weren't for their greedy Liaodong region of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty would not have attacked the capital of Galius, and the people of my Cao family would not have died or fled.
Now they framed my brother so much that they could kill my brother to death. Why don’t I take revenge on such hatred?”
"Revenge on the Goryeo royal family is not an easy task, and even I can't give you enough support."
"Goryeo is also a vassal state of the Great Jin Dynasty, and I can't intervene rashly. What should I do?"
Li Changxian thought about it and finally decided: "Forget it, who told you and Cao Yun to be loyal to me in the past? I can't ignore such things,"
"I can give you a lot of silver and weapons and equipment, plus a thousand Wanling County officers and soldiers. As for whether you can succeed in revenge in the future, it depends on you."
After saying that, Li Changxian picked up another intelligence document. This is a message from Goryeo. Your Cao family is now the head of your second uncle, but in the battle that year, your father died in the battlefield, and your Cao family suffered a tragic surprise. Only your second uncle survived in the direct lineage, and your elder brother is still uncovered."
This is the best news Cao Zhen has heard in recent years. If Li Changxian didn't say it, she would have thought her family would be dead.
"Young Master, thank you!"
"Okay, don't be sad, go back to Goryeo and reunite with your family!"
Li Changxian did not assign any tasks to Cao Zhen, but it was enough based on her original intention. Moreover, there were a thousand officers and soldiers from Wanling County who were walking with him, and these were the main force in Goryeo.
Cao Zhen lived in Wanling County for seven or eight years, almost the same as her life in Goryeo, but the impact of these seven or eight years on her was too great, making her forget that she was still a Korean. Of course, she did not admit that she was from the Great Jin Dynasty.
"I am a native of Wanling County and live for Wanling County at all times. I will not forget the cultivation of Wanling County and the young master. As long as the young master tells me to do in the future, Cao Zhen will never refuse to die, and God will prove it!"
"Okay, when you arrive in Goryeo, you must live well," Don't do dangerous things like your brother. Please ask Ah Qi and the others if you have any questions."
The person who led his troops to Goryeo with Cao Zhen this time was Aqi. After making great contributions in Annan last time, he had been promoted to the title of the head of thousands of people by Abuda.
"Young master, I know. As long as I can avenge the Cao family and my brother, everything will be followed by General Aqi."
Three days later, Cao Zhen followed Ah Qi and the others. Two large ships, full of weapons and supplies, set out along the river. After more than ten days, they passed the sea outlet and headed towards Goryeo.
I don’t know if Cao Zhen’s revenge was successful, but this is the best opportunity for Li Changxian to intervene in Goryeo.
During this period of war, the imperial court mainly focused on defending, which made the second and third prince's army slower the pace of attack, and no longer easily deceived the city gates or bribed local officials to surrender voluntarily.
Everything is in a stalemate. In the future, the battle will no longer be about strong troops, but about which side can cope with the subsequent stalemate stage of war.
"Your Majesty, the war on the front line eased, Lord Shi has defended the defense lines of Liangzhou and Jinzhou. This is a great joy for the court!"
"Master Shi has made great contributions and should be posthumously sealed off, but I don't know when Master Shi can rectify the army and start an attack?"
After hearing this, Li Changxian just wanted to curse. If Bazhou and Wanzhou were not lost, more than 100,000 troops in the past dragged the Yongzhou army, the court could attack Longyou Road and seize the third prince's nest, Yongzhou, directly cut off the supply of the Yongzhou army's horse and food supplies, and also cut off the contact between the third prince and the Anxi army.
But now, the Yongzhou army has attacked Jinzhou and Liangzhou, only a few hundred miles away from the capital. If Lord Shi divides his troops to attack, it will only be a way to die and violate a taboo in military strategists.
"Your Majesty, at this moment, you must not send troops, and you should guard Liangzhou and Jinzhou."
It was Mao Zheng and some officials who saw the situation on the front line clearly and tried their best to persuade Emperor Jianxing not to do stupid things.
"Yes, since the war eases, let's check the whereabouts of the sixth imperial edict!"
The sixth edict was like a mystery, and there was no trace after leaving the palace. Even the little eunuch who was caught did not know who sent the sixth edict.
Of course, he didn't know who the sixth imperial edict was sent to. Emperor Jianxing went to Ningshou Palace several times, but he was turned away by the Supreme Emperor. Even if the Supreme Emperor torture the eunuch below, he would not get any information.
