Yin Shenzheng was once the Prime Minister of Later Shu. Although he was servile and good at flattery, he really didn't have any talent or self-restraint. How could he win Meng Chang's eyes?
Most of the people in the temples of Later Shu were boasters who claimed to be Zhuge Di, but being able to boast was also a skill.
If there is no sufficient literary foundation, where will the bragging rights come from?
Yin Shenzheng only had evil intentions, but his conversational skills and the demeanor and knowledge of a prime minister were still good enough.
Seeing Yin Shenzheng's extraordinary bearing and his initial intention to defect to the Khitan, Brother Yeluxiu only let Wang Zhao stop him and started chatting with him.
Knowing that the other party was once the Prime Minister of Later Shu, Yelvxiu's words and demeanor also showed some respect.
Khitan has a very profound sinicization, and when it comes to talent training reserves, it is far from comparable to that of the Central Plains.
Perhaps there is no shortage of talented and beautiful people in Khitan temples, but there is far from a shortage of grassroots officials.
They often hold multiple positions at the same time. On the surface, those who are capable do more work, but in fact, no one is available. For the same thing, the efficiency is far less than that in the Central Plains.
Brother Yelvxiu was concerned about the destiny of the Khitan nation and also wanted to recommend talents for the country. He said sincerely: "Sir, you are loyal and righteous, and your conversational skills are extraordinary. My Majesty is very thirsty for talents. He is not inferior to Wang Zhao, and his ability is ten times greater. I wish you the best."
Recommend sir to His Majesty..."
Khitan is very lax in recommending talents.
As long as you reach a certain status, you have the right to recommend talents.
Moreover, regardless of whether the talent is good or bad, there is a central investigation and call center, and even if a mediocre person is recommended, he will not be held accountable.
Brother Yelvxiu was somewhat fond of Yin Shenzheng's loyalty and demeanor, and the recommendation was made in line with the situation, but he didn't have much intention.
Yin Shenzheng shook his head and said: "I served in Shu when Shu was destroyed, and I served in Gaoli, but Gaoli died. I am disheartened and have no intention of becoming an official for the time being. I hope the general will forgive me."
Yin Shenzheng didn't want to hand him over so cheaply.
Chen Chuyao has led the Korean crown prince to escape from Kaijing.
With a little investigation, we can find out what Chen Chuyao's relationship is with him.
Yin Shenzheng asked himself whether it still had value.
Brother Yelvxiu gave some advice, but when he saw that Yin Shenzheng really didn't want to become an official, he stopped trying to persuade him. Anyway, he finally brought him to Khitan, and it was up to him whether he wanted to become an official or not.
People have to eat.
At this moment, Han Derang came from the bottom of the mountain.
Brother Yelvxiu ordered the guards beside him to wait until the fire was extinguished, then help Yin Shenzheng collect the remains of Wang Zhao and went forward to welcome him.
Handerang looked at Brother Yelvxiu who was coming towards him and said: "We have already agreed with Fujiwara Shifu that they will withdraw from Kaicheng and send someone to take over after three days. We ask for people, not money, and the officials of Goryeo temples and personal documents will be left to us.
Take them away. The equipment of the Goryeo soldiers acquired during this trip south will also be left with them."
Brother Yelvxiu said: "I've put you in trouble."
Handerang shook his head slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, Xun Ning Fangzheng, it is reasonable not to see these young men. If the Central Plains is not powerful and difficult to resist, I would not want to interact with them. Let me handle such matters in the future."
Brother Yelvxiu said: "Thank you!" He looked around. It was already light at the moment, and the sight of Kaicheng was in full view. He couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know what the scene will be like in three days."
Han Derang said: "Both you and I are brothers and have blood feud. We should put the overall situation first."
Brother Yelvxiu didn't answer. He knew that Han Derang hated Luo Youdu deeply because his father died as a result of Luo Youdu's divorce plan.
His father also died in battle on the banks of the Sanggan River and was defeated at the hands of Luo Youdu, but he did not feel as resentful as Handerang in his heart.
As a general, it is your fate to be wrapped in horse leather.
If he had the chance, it would be a good idea to avenge his father, but he did not treat him as his inner demon like Han Derang did.
What he wants more is to make Khitan stronger...
Brother Yelvxiu changed the subject and said: "I just met a man named Yin Shenzheng in my brother Wei. He once served as Meng Chang's prime minister and he is quite loyal..."
Han Derang smiled and said: "If you can be favored by Xun Ning, you must be extraordinary."
It took them three days to move the Goryeo temple to the north and give Kaicheng to the Japanese.
A group of thieves, like wolves and tigers, swarmed into Kaicheng like hungry wolves, unleashing their bestiality...
**********
It was already a month after Luo Youdu learned that Goryeo was overthrown.
Zhang Jin said in a tone of apology: "The Khitan and Japanese countries carved up Korea. They controlled all the sea ports and banned ships from going to sea. Our people were unable to send the news out in time. I did something bad, so I beg your majesty to atone for my sins."
"No problem!"
Luo Youdu was well aware of the difficulty of lurking people, and said: "Goryeo is separated from our country by a vast sea. They are helpless inside the enemy. It is already good to be able to spread the news. Zhang Qing, please don't criticize me harshly..."
He looked at the news about Goryeo in his hand, watched the Khitan surrendered Kaicheng to the Japanese, and watched the Japanese plundering Kaicheng for three days, and a feeling of disgust came to his heart.
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Luo Youdu asked with a bit of solemnity: "Is there any news about Chen Chuyao and Yin Shenzheng?"
Zhang Jin shook his head slightly and said: "There is no news about the two gentlemen now." Seeing Luo Youdu's face with a bit of worry, he persuaded him: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The last time Mr. Yin sent news was that Mr. Chen left with the Crown Prince of Korea.
After His Majesty sends troops to Goryeo, he will respond. As for Mr. Yin, he should be escorted to Khitan along with Goryeo officials. Compared with the tyranny of the Japanese country, Khitan has some benevolence and righteousness, so he should not be in danger."
Luo Youdu nodded silently and asked for a moment: "Is this news sent by land?"
Zhang Jin replied: "The news from the land route should still be on the way. This news was sent through Tamluo Kingdom."
"Tamna Kingdom?"
Luo Youdu frowned and said, "What country is that?"
Zhang Jindao: "It is an island country southwest of Goryeo. During the Tang Dynasty, it followed Silla into the dynasty and was called Danluo. They have always been controlled by Silla and Goryeo. The Tang Dynasty fell into a vassal crisis and its external influence was greatly reduced. Silla forced Danluo
Silla surrendered and was renamed the Tamna Kingdom. Silla was usurped by Wang Jian, and the Tamna Kingdom also returned to Goryeo. They called the King of Tamna Kingdom Star Lord. The Tamna Kingdom surrendered to Goryeo, and the country was relatively free. So it was arranged in the Tamna Kingdom.
A message delivery point.”
Luo Youdu pondered for a moment and said: "Isn't it Jeju Island? Good job. This island is not big, but its resources are rare."
It doesn’t mean anything, it’s just that I’m excited.
Now he is a bit shameless, and when he sees good things, he thinks they are his.
"Come here, please invite Prime Minister Dou, Prime Minister Zhao, and Prime Minister Xue..."
Wang Pu had left the temple, Wei Renpu was recuperating at home due to illness, Song Qi was in charge of affairs in Youzhou, and Luo Youdu proposed Xue Juzheng, the candidate who had already been scheduled to be the prime minister.
Following a year and a half of recuperation, military supplies were mobilized.
Dou Yi, Zhao Pu, Xue Juzheng and other ministers who had followed Luo Youdu for many years had long seen his restless heart.
Dou Yi had some excuses to persuade him before, but now that the imperial court's economy is booming, food and grass are abundant, and the morale of the soldiers is high, there is no excuse for him to refuse.
The three of them knew very well about Luo Youdu's invitation.
However, when Luo Youdu was in the Japanese state, Dou Yi, Zhao Pu, and Xue Juzheng all looked at their emperor with a bit of confusion.
In the end, Dou Yi couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty is planning to send troops to seek an explanation for Goryeo?"
"Of course!" Luo Youdu said righteously and sternly: "Koryeo is our vassal state of Dayu, and I have also adopted the daughter of the King of Koryeo. The Japanese country despised my edict and committed countless crimes in Kaicheng. If we did not conquer
, Where can I lose my face?"
At this time, he remembered that he married Huangfu Xiu.
Zhao Pu said: "The territory of our dynasty is separated from Goryeo by Khitan. If Your Majesty sends troops to Goryeo, he can only go by sea. With the current strength of our dynasty, we do have the ability to fight across the sea. But according to the news from Secretary Zhang, Khitan,
The Japanese have colluded with each other. If they land in Haidong now, wouldn't they allow both sides to attack from a flank? This is a taboo for military strategists..."
When he said this, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he lost his voice: "Unless your Majesty wants to attack the Japanese mainland."
Zhao Pu knew Luo Youdu better than anyone else. He knew that the most powerful thing about his monarch was not his military prowess that everyone praised, but his extraordinary foresight and strategic vision.
He couldn't make such a mistake unless he had other plans.
The Japanese country is very mysterious to Zhao Pu. As far as he knows, no soldiers from the Central Plains have ever been to the main island of the Japanese country. Even in the Battle of Baijiangkou that year, they only taught the Japanese country a lesson at Baijiangkou and did not lead the troops to invade the Japanese country.
Native.
This connects the upper and lower levels!
Zhao Pu suddenly understood and said: "I understand, your Majesty intends to force the Khitan to fight, not to attack the Khitan in the north."
Luo Youdu put his hands together and said: "The one who knows me is Zhao Zeping! The Khitan knew that I wanted to attack him, so they started building fortifications four years ago. Now they have deployed heavy troops on the front line and are still reinforcing the defense line. Taking the initiative from Beijing, Lu
If the dragon attacks, keep it and knock it all over. Even if they win, it will be a tragic victory and it is unnecessary. Let them abandon their defense line and take the initiative to fight, which is the wise way."
Xue Juzheng said: "But I don't understand, what does the Khitan's initiative to attack have to do with attacking the Japanese country?"
Luo Youdu had a huge map hung up and gave Zhao Pu the opportunity to express it.
Zhao Pu bowed and accepted the order, came to the map, pointed at the Japanese country on the map and said: "This is the Japanese country... There is a strait between them and Goryeo. The Khitan's current intention is very simple, to defend to the death. He knows that his national power is far inferior to ours. Prepare.
Take advantage of their defensive advantages to bridge the gap between the two countries. For this reason, they also specially gave Kaicheng to the Japanese country, so that the Japanese country could help them resist our army's surprise cross-sea attack on their Bohai country."
He pointed at the Bohai Kingdom and said: "Since the Khitans shifted their focus eastward, the Bohai Kingdom has become their largest granary. They do not have enough strength to fight on multiple fronts, so they can only resort to this strategy."
"In general, the Khitan is now like a turtle, hiding all its external weaknesses in its shell."
"The only weakness is the Japanese state..." He drew a circle on the Japanese Kyushu Island and said: "As long as our navy blocks this strait, we can trap the Japanese soldiers in Goryeo to death on the Haidong Peninsula. We
While setting up defenses along the river bank, we will seize Kyushu Island as a stepping stone. At the same time, we will move eastward and approach the Japanese capital. The troops remaining on the Japanese mainland cannot stop our army, and the Japanese soldiers from the Haidong Peninsula will definitely come to rescue us."
He placed his finger heavily on the Tsushima Strait and said with a bit of flattery: "Your Majesty is far-sighted and attaches no less importance to the navy than the cavalry. I believe that Japan is definitely not our opponent on the sea.
This strait is the graveyard of the Japanese country in Haidong..."
"well said!"
Luo Youdu clapped his hands. Zhao Pu really understood what he meant and what he said was to his liking.
Zhao Pu thanked him happily and said more earnestly: "I believe that the Khitan dare not come to the rescue. First, they do not have enough control over Goryeo and can easily cut off the escape route for the Goryeo rebels. Second, this is the weakest point of the Khitan in a naval battle.
Even if they want to rescue, they are unable to do so. They can only watch helplessly as we cripple and destroy their newly recruited allies."
"At this time, the Khitan has only two choices: take the initiative, or sit back and do nothing."
"If we sit back and do nothing, our army will either cripple the Japanese so that they have no power to resist, or they will be completely destroyed. Then they will go north to attack Goryeo. In Goryeo, the court has the support of the Goryeo rebels, but the Khitan will be passive. Once we take all the land of Goryeo, they will
The granary of Bohai Kingdom will be under the military front of the imperial court."
"You must know that between the Khitan and Korea, Korea has always been on the defensive, and the Khitan has been attacking. There are not many defensive fortifications on the Khitan side in their borders. Building defenses on an emergency basis and shifting the focus of defense eastward will also disrupt their overall defense layout.
.”
"What's more, if they move the defense line eastward, what about the western front? Will we defend the eastern front or the western front?"
Zhao Pu said categorically: "Khitan said there are two choices, but in fact there is no choice. Unless they are willing to watch helplessly as we achieve our goals bit by bit, they will definitely choose to take the initiative to send troops from the western front when we attack Japan.
, to avoid the dilemma of being attacked from two sides.”
"Your Majesty has far-sightedness and some tricks to make the Khitan's four years of achievements come to nothing. I admire you very much..."
As Zhao Pu spoke, he also saluted Luo Youdu and was filled with emotion.
Zhao Pu spoke in such detail that Dou Yi and Xue Juzheng naturally understood.
They also knew that at this point, war was inevitable, and they all accused the Japanese of the atrocities committed in Kaicheng, and supported Dayu's benevolent army to conquer the Japanese.
Luo Youdu stood up with satisfaction and said: "In this case, I will order the conquest of the Japanese country at the court meeting tomorrow."
Xue Juzheng said righteously: "We should also spread the message widely to let people all over the world know the evil deeds of the Japanese in Kaicheng. It is best to spread the news to Goryeo and even Khitan, so that their people will know everything. Let the people of Goryeo share the same hatred.
, it will be of great benefit to our generals to let the Khitan people know the virtues of their allies."
Luo Youdu narrowed his eyes and smiled and said: "What Xue Xiang said is very true..." He thought for a while and said: "How about letting Li Yu write the book? Li Yu's literary talent is no less than that of Chen Lin and King Luo Bin, so he can take on such a big job."
Dou Yi, Zhao Pu, and Xue Juzheng's expressions twitched in unison.
Chen Lin? King Luo Bin?
"An appeal to Yuzhou for Yuan Shao"? "An appeal to Wu Zhao for Xu Jingye"?
What hatred and grudge is this?
If this scholar really wants to write a curse, it will be a curse that has been passed down for thousands of years!
