"Cui Hongzheng? He is waiting for you in Anzhou City. On the 20th day, Cui Hongzheng issued an order and ordered Anzhou defender Jin Yi to withdraw from Jinhai who was stationed in Pingcheng, Jin Hanzhong who was stationed in Yizhou, and Li Guanzhen who was stationed in Pingrong Town.
Surrender to our army. But Cui Hongzheng didn't know that Gimhae, which was ordered to attack Pyongyang City, was captured by his rebellious subordinates two months ago. After that, the remaining 4,000 of his troops surrendered to our army."
"Jin Hanzhong and Li Guanzhen also surrendered to our fraternal troops on the northern front as early as possible. Only Jin Yiyuan and his more than 11,000 troops surrendered to our army following Cui Hongzheng's order."
Ren Yi and Wu Yanchong were frightened by the way of teaching.
"Then...then...what are the losses of our people?" Wu Yanchong asked in despair.
"Your country originally had thirty-two young and strong civilians north of the Xishui River. Two hundred and ninety thousand of them got up in time at the beginning of winter last year and defected to our army. Most of them have been resettled in Beiping Prefecture and Liaodong, and a small number have
They stayed in Pyongyang and Chewo. According to the latest statistics, there were 297,400 surrendered subjects. During this period, 1,169 died of illness, and the rest were in very good health."
Ren Yi thought that there were still 290,000 greens left. These people should be able to replenish their vitality by returning them to Goryeo.
Wu Yanchong looked at the joy on his face and said nothing. In comparison, he was much more pessimistic. The Song army had spent so much effort and alienation to capture so many Qings, how could they easily return them to Korea.
At this time, we should understand the current strategy of the Song State - to weaken the Goryeo State as much as possible. If the country is impoverished and the people are impoverished, civil strife will naturally occur, just like the former Liao Dynasty. When the time comes, if the Song Army raises another army and annihilates it, it will not
No effort.
"Of the more than 30,000 people who stayed in the area north of Xishui, our army only counted 3,160 after more than a month of clearance. The whereabouts of the rest are unknown. They may be dead, or they may still be hiding in the north.
In the mountains..."
Zhong Shidao continued: "Your country originally had 226,000 troops in the area north of the Zhu River. After inspection, there were 35,000 left. Among them, 1,000 were in Qiwo City, 4,000 in Pingcheng, and 1 in Anzhou.
Eleven thousand people, eleven thousand people in Yizhou and other places, eight thousand people in Pingrong Town and other places. The rest..."
The cultivator paused and continued: "I believe most of them are dead. We have inspected more than 100,000 corpses of your officers and soldiers, and there may be a small number hiding in the mountains and wilderness."
Ren Yi and Wu Yanchong were trembling in their hearts, and their bodies felt like they were falling into an ice cave.
This means that the 190,000 troops led by Cui Hongzheng and Huang Junshang to the north, plus the nearly 40,000 troops originally owned by the Anbei and Anbian governorates, a total of 230,000 troops, were almost completely lost.
This is the essence of two generations of great ministers. Yin Guan and other ministers spent decades recruiting soldiers, horses and youths from all over Goryeo and painstakingly training them. Now they are all lost to the north of the Xishui River.
The Goryeo Kingdom still has nearly 100,000 soldiers. According to accounts, it can recruit another 200,000 to 300,000 young men to join the army. However, the elites are exhausted, morale is low, and the army is no longer an army.
What's even more frightening is that almost all the prestigious and experienced generals and troops were lost north of the Xu River.
The remaining generals and troops were overwhelmed with heavy tasks - the military power of Koryo was so strong that they were only one breath away from total collapse.

Wu Yanchong held on to his strength and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "I wonder what conditions your country would agree to negotiate to release our captured soldiers and civilians."
Ren Yi also opened his eyes wide, looking at Zhong Shidao with hope and anxiety.
"This is not for me to discuss. The two envoys will find out when they go to Kaiyuan City." Zhong Shidao rejected Wu Yanchong's suggestion and continued in a formulaic manner.
"According to the documents of the Anxi and Anbei Protectorate of your country, there are nine Dingkou between the Xushui River-Jiaoshan City-Langshan-Qiewo City, and the remaining people are about 400,000. After inspection, there are still 50,000 Dingkou left.
, with a population of 270,000. Most of these people listened to the advice early and gathered in Nanpu and Xinpu. Relying on the rescue of our army, they survived the cold winter. Some of the rest died of starvation and freezing, and some died of burning, killing, and looting by your army.
.”
Ren Yi and Wu Yanchong were already numb in their hearts - firstly, the previous loss of Tai, Anbei and Anbian was nothing. Secondly, the people in Anbei and Anbian had always been free from the Korean Lord.
They belong to the marginalized people outside the barbaric environment, and the government and the public rarely care about their life and death.
So now I don't care about their life or death.
After Zhong Shidao said, "The two envoys, I have already informed you (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 98 Goryeo wants to negotiate peace (2)
Finished. Do you want to start immediately, or take a rest and start again tomorrow?"
"Let's go immediately!" Wu Yanchong replied immediately.
Ren Yi, Wu Yanchong and their party changed horses and set off again quickly. They hurried and slowed along the way and arrived at Anzhou City the next day.
Cui Hongzheng's face suddenly changed when he saw the two of them in the former Goryeo State Anbei Protectorate, which was closely guarded by the Song army.
"Why are you two the envoys?"
"It's up to us, so it will be ended by us." Wu Yanchong said quietly.
Cui Hongzheng's sunken eyes overflowed with muddy tears.
"It's over, it's over! Gao Li, it's over!"
Ren Yi comforted him and said, "Cui, please don't take it too seriously if it can be done in one go. This time the peace talks are successful, we will try hard and work hard to regain our strength."
Cui Hongzheng looked at Ren who was encouraging him in surprise, then turned to look at Wu Yanchong.
"Wu, didn't you analyze it with Prime Minister Ren?"
"What did the analysis say?" Ren Yi asked puzzledly.
Cui Hongzheng was unreasonable and continued to ask Wu Yanchong: "Wu, haven't you seen the Song Dynasty's strategy now? Exterminate our people, exhaust our country, the country is poor and the people are poor, and then cause trouble... This strategy is exactly the same as the old strategy of exhausting the Liao Dynasty.
.”
"Cui, what can I do if I see it?" Wu Yanchong replied with a sullen face, "I am negotiating with Prime Minister Ren to be the chief and deputy, but you still can't see what the situation is like in the DPRK?"
"Li Ziqian and Yu Luchong merged?" Cui Hongzheng asked murmured.
"Oh, the spirit of our emperor's transformation is even worse than the rangers of the Qinglong Banner of the Song Dynasty." Wu Yanchong said sarcastically.
"Two, what's going on?" Ren Yi guessed something, but didn't dare to admit it and asked angrily.
"Ren, if things go well, you will probably see something."
"What do I see?"
"Li Ziqian, Yu Luchong, Gao Lingchen, and Cui Sisu joined forces. Didn't you receive the news?"

Faced with Wu Yanchong's pursuit, Ren Yi remained silent.
"All the ministers in the court unanimously recommended us to go to the envoys. Don't you know what this means? No matter whether the peace talks are successful, we will be demoted to the island when we go back. It's such a tragedy, someone must take responsibility. Who will bear it? Your Majesty or
The head of the state? Of course it’s you and me as the principal and deputy ministers!”
Ren Yi trembled and murmured: "I have not failed you or your superiors, why should I bear the blame?"
"Is this important?" Wu Yanchong asked.
Cui Hongzheng looked at the two arguing coldly.
At this time, he was heartbroken and his last bit of hope was gone. With Wu Yanchong and Ren Yi as the chief and deputy officers of the peace negotiation, it was obvious that the king and his ministers had reached an agreement and pushed out the main war faction as the scapegoat.
Even if you find the one who takes the blame, you can also make room for yourself and your allies to rise to the top. What a calculation! I must have been the main battle pieces before, in the eyes of the state leader, they are all usable pawns.
Li, you will not change your nature! The king is in danger! The Song Dynasty is looking at you from outside, and there are treacherous ministers in the country who are monopolizing power and causing chaos. Goryeo is in danger!
But what does this have to do with me, a dead man?
At this moment, Cui Hongzheng suddenly remembered Li Yan, the envoy of the Song Dynasty who had argued with him in the palace and scolded him. When he left the capital, he said angrily in front of everyone in Goryeo: "The humiliation of the country will lead to death! Today we, the Song Dynasty, were defeated by Goryeo.
Such a humiliation! Li Yan must break through it, otherwise he will never be able to wash away this humiliation!"
Is this all just the number of days?
The ancestor of the Great Song Dynasty.
