Chapter 413: Accepting the daughter and asking for surrender
After Zhang Yangquan sent Zhou Fu and the second group of officials away, he returned to his study and continued to process official documents.
Suddenly, his eyes went dark and he was covered by two hands.
"Guess who I am?" A hoarse voice sounded from behind.
Zhang Yangquan was both angry and funny, and said: "Little sister, when did you come back?"
Her hands immediately released, Qin Lingsi walked up to him, sat down on the table, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I haven't seen you for so long, do you miss me?"
Zhang Yangquan looked at her carefully for a while and sighed: "She's darker and thinner. Where did she go this time? She's been gone for so long. I wonder how worried your sister is?"
Qin Lingsi smiled apologetically and said, "Didn't I go to get information for you?"
Zhang Yangquan said angrily: "Come on, there are so many people in the Military Intelligence Agency, do we need you to find out information?"
Qin Lingsi raised her chin and said, "Really? But the Military Intelligence Agency doesn't know the information I found out!"
Zhang Yangquan said suspiciously: "Oh? What did you find out?"
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "I can say it, but you have to promise me one thing!"
"What's the matter?"
"When sister comes over later to beat and scold me, you have to intercede for me and protect me!"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "Don't worry, she has been talking about you every day during this period. I don't know how worried she is, how could she beat you and scold you?"
Qin Lingsi said in surprise: "Seriously?"
"Absolutely true!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Qin Lingjun's voice coming from outside the door.
"Commander Yang, is that stinky girl in there?"
"Go back to Your Royal Highness, the owner of the venue has just entered."
Before she had finished, she saw Qin Lingjun walking in step by step. When she got closer, she saw clearly that she was holding a stick as thick as a bowl!
"Little sister, do you want to lie down on your own, or do you want me to do it?" she said coldly.
Qin Lingsi's face suddenly turned pale, and she hurriedly hid behind Zhang Yangquan.
"Brother-in-law, save me quickly!"
Zhang Yangquan hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Madam, you are exaggerating. Didn't you say yesterday that you would no longer punish her after she comes back?"
Qin Lingjun snorted and said, "Every time you protect her like this, she becomes more and more courageous!" She placed the stick against the wall and leaned against it.
Seeing that sister was just scaring herself, Qin Lingsi patted her chest and said with a smile: "Sister, I really do business this time!"
Qin Lingjun rolled her eyelids, sat down on a chair, turned her head and did not answer.
Qin Lingsi ran behind her and diligently helped her shoulder and massage her neck.
"After I finish talking about this later, if you and your brother-in-law still blame me, I will just let you punish me!"
Zhang Yangquan's curiosity was aroused and he said: "What news did you find out?"
Qin Lingsi glanced at him and said with joy, "I'll give you a hint, it's news about Hebei!"
Zhang Yangquan guessed: "Emperor Yuan and the Crown Prince fell out?"
"Wrong!"
Qin Lingjun also guessed: "The Tatar Emperor died of illness because of Chahan Timur's death?"
"That's not right! It has nothing to do with Dadu!"
Qin Lingjun suddenly became impatient.
"Hurry up and tell me who has time to guess with you!"
Qin Lingsi was not angry and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten that there is a Song army in Hebei!"
Zhang Yangquan was surprised and said: "Could it be Guan Duo and Pan Cheng who conquered Dadu?"
Qin Lingsi squinted her eyes and said: "They did capture a capital, but it was not the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, but the capital of the Goryeo Kingdom!"
"The capital of Goryeo?" Zhang Yangquan was stunned at first, then said with emotion: "They captured Kaijing?"
Qin Lingsi clapped her hands and smiled: "Yes! How about it, this can be considered good news!"
Zhang Yangquan was stunned and speechless.
This news shocked him more than joy.
Ever since Guan Duo arrived in Liaoyang, he didn't pay much attention to the pawns crossing the river, thinking that they would either be wiped out by the Mongolian army or they would run out of food and die.
I really didn’t expect that these two guys went all the way north and actually hit Korea!
Zhang Yangquan thought for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
"What's the situation like in the battle? The Central Route Army suffered consecutive defeats, and there should be less than 100,000 men left. How can they capture Goryeo?"
Qin Lingsi's eyes turned into crescents when she smiled.
"Brother-in-law, haven't you always said that the Koreans are very powerful? And sister, you said that they have an army of 400,000 and cannot be easily provoked!"
Qin Lingjun glared at her and said angrily: "There's so much nonsense, hurry up and say it!"
Qin Lingsi spread her hands and said, "There's nothing to say. The Goryeo army lost the battle!"
Zhang Yangquan frowned and said: "How did you lose?"
"It was a head-on confrontation. When the King of Goryeo heard that Guanduo had invaded Goryeo, he was very angry. He immediately assembled an army of more than 200,000 and sent his generals to fight the Central Army in a fierce battle!"
Qin Lingjun said in surprise: "There are more than 200,000 people and they still occupy a favorable location. How can they lose?"
Qin Lingsi curled her lips and said, "I don't know about that. I only know that Guan Duo and Pan Cheng only had 50,000 or 60,000 troops. The commander of the Goryeo army was named An You. The two sides fought at Mercy Ridge. The result was that the Goryeo army was defeated and An You was alone.
Ride back!"
Zhang Yangquan touched his chin, and something suddenly flashed in his mind.
Judging from the time, Goryeo is about to be destroyed, and it is not far away from Li Chenggui's establishment of Joseon.
It is not surprising that a country that is about to perish has such a crotch-pulling record.
Qin Lingsi continued: "Guan Duo and Pan Cheng took advantage of the victory and pursued it with overwhelming force. They fought all the way to the capital of the Korean people, occupied the magpie's nest, and lived in the palace!"
Qin Lingjun said blankly: "The Kingdom of Korea was occupied by them like this?"
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "Don't you believe it? I didn't believe it at first, but later I went to Gaoli in person and confirmed the news!"
Qin Lingjun asked again: "Where is the King of Goryeo? Did he die in the battle?"
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "How could it be possible? He escaped to Jeju Island!"
Zhang Yangquan suddenly said: "What is the situation in Kaijing City now? How will Guan and Pan deal with those Goryeo ministers?"
Qin Lingsi sneered and said: "After Guan Duo and Pan Cheng occupied the Goryeo Palace, the Goryeo ministers accepted women to surrender. All officers above the tenth captain and above were given women."
Qin Lingjun snorted coldly and said: "You are so spineless, no wonder you can't beat them."
Zhang Yangquan sighed and said: "Guan Duo, Pan Cheng's army is finished."
Qin Lingjun was stunned and said: "Why?"
Zhang Yangquan said calmly: "Officers above the general level are under the surveillance of the Koreans, how can we not lose?"
Qin Lingsi clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is still very good. It is said that after the King of Goryeo escaped, he had ordered his cronies to gather troops for counterattack. He himself also went to Jeju Island to bring reinforcements."
Zhang Yangquan wondered: "Did he go to the Yuan army on Jeju Island for help?"
"Yeah!"
Zhang Yangquan was slightly surprised: "Why didn't he go to the Yuan army in Dadu for help, but instead went to Jeju Island?"
"Because the relationship between Koryo and the Yuan Dynasty is very tense, the Yuan Dynasty will not assist him. Unlike the Muhu on Jeju Island, they have formed an independent tribe and rely on the Koryo people for supplies, so they are more likely to send troops to rescue!"
"Muhu?"
"They are the Mongols from Jeju Island!"
Qin Lingjun said in surprise: "Hasn't Goryeo always been in close contact with the Yuan Dynasty? How come the relationship is suddenly tense?"
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "This matter starts with the Battle of Yangzhou. Brother-in-law, sister, you must have never imagined that during the Battle of Yangzhou, the King of Korea also sent people to participate in the battle!"
Zhang Yangquan wondered: "How could it be possible? We didn't find the Korean troops when we were fighting!"
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "The King of Korea only sent two thousand people, and they were all mixed in with Tuotuo's army, so we didn't recognize him!"
After a pause, he hummed: "Actually, the King of Korea had no good intentions. He just used these two thousand people to test the strength of the Tatars! After Tuotuo's defeat, the King of Korea turned against him when he saw that the Tatars were weak.
The Qi family, the Lu family, and the Quan family will all be executed!"
Zhang Yangquan's heart moved: "The Qi family is Empress Qi's family, right?"
"Yes! Because of Empress Qi, the Qi family has always been the supreme emperor in the Goryeo Kingdom. They are arrogant and domineering and do all kinds of evil. Even the King of Goryeo dare not interfere with their affairs!"
Qin Lingjun raised her eyelids and said: "The King of Korea dares to fall out with the Tatars, but he still has some backbone!"
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "I also went on the Northern Expedition, and with the help of Neiying, I captured the Yuan Dynasty's Shuangcheng Mansion!"
Zhang Yangquan nodded.
The King of Goryeo obviously wanted to take advantage of the Red Turban Rebellion, when the Mongols had no time to think about anything else, and take the opportunity to expand their territory.
Unexpectedly, due to bad luck, the middle army of Guan Duo and Pan Cheng fought all the way to Liaoyang and bumped into them.
I don’t know what kind of conflict arose between the two sides, but Guan and Pan ignored the Yuan Dynasty and crossed the Yalu River directly to attack the Goryeo Kingdom.
