back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 397
Listening to Wang Hui's hysterical roar, no one in Shouchang Palace dared to say anything.These Koryo ministers also knew that because of a strategic mistake, Wang Hui not only turned against the original suzerain Dashun, but also the Jurchens didn't seem to take their current suzerain Liao seriously.Goryeo is like Roujiamo, caught in the middle, not human inside and out, no wonder Wang Huihui is so angry.

But after all, such a national policy was determined by him personally, and it cannot be blamed on anyone.Lin Zhe, the number one scholar in Jingzong's period, couldn't help but come out to persuade him at this moment: "Your Majesty, that Jurchen is uneducated, doesn't learn classics, and only has brute force ears. Our Goryeo has always been called 'Little China', how can we get along with you?" What do these savages know in general?"

Seeing that it was Lin Zhe who spoke, Wang Hui didn't continue to growl, but his face was gloomy: "According to what Lin Qing said, I, Goryeo, let the Jurchens get what they want?"

Although Cui Chong, who is known as the "Confucius of Haidong", has always had different political views from Lin Zhe, but now that it is about the survival of Goryeo, he has no intention of fighting between factions. I'm afraid it's not simple in my opinion. There was news from the Liao Kingdom that Dashun had business contacts with the Tungus savages. I also thought that Dashun's demand for ginseng and other things was too high. After cutting off business with Korea, I have no choice but to find a way out. But today, it seems that Dashun treats me, Gaoli, with uneasy and kind intentions!"

Wang Hui wasn't stupid either, after hearing what Cui Chong said, he understood.No wonder the Jurchens have been so rampant recently, it is actually the ghosts of the Han people inside!After changing the suzerain state, the Jurchens did pause for a while, not even daring to cross the national border.Unexpectedly, the little emperor Dashun would think of a way to deal with it so quickly, and resorted to such a plan to drive away wolves and tigers, directly confusing Gao Li's plan that he thought was perfect.

After figuring out this joint, Wang Hui suddenly became weak.To say that the Jurchens alone, Goryeo is still fearless.After all, there are many times more Koreans than Jurchens.As long as the Great Wall is repaired and the city is well defended, there will be no breakthrough for the Jurchens.The big defeat this time was also the reason why Gao Li relaxed her vigilance.

But once things involved Dashun, it would be much more complicated.Wang Hui has long been informed that in order to retaliate against Goryeo, Dashun not only increased troops on the border with Goryeo, but even secretly sent merchants to drive up prices in Goryeo.Especially the grain, if it hadn't been discovered early, I am afraid that the grain in Goryeo would be bought up by these cunning Han people.Koryo originally did not produce much grain, and it was difficult to be self-sufficient.When the harvest was not good a few years ago, Dashun could exchange ginseng, deerskin, antlers, etc. for some grain to subsidize the people.

But since Dashun angrily severed all ties with Goryeo, not to mention food, even businessmen from Goryeo who wanted to go directly to Dashun to do business could no longer do business.If you want to do business with the Han people, you have to take a detour to the Shunliao market.In the trading market, salt, iron, grain, and ore are all prohibited from trading in Dashun, and the commodities that can be exchanged are nothing but money.

Wang Hui reviewed the gains from the transition of the suzerain over the past year.They found out that apart from provoking Dashun to sever the relationship, they didn't get any benefits.Wang Hui couldn't help but start to reflect: "Is this step really wrong?"

At this time, Cui Jie'an, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have recently discovered that there are many Dashun spies in Koryo. Are you going to send troops to arrest them and put them in prison?"

Before Wang Hui made a statement, Lin Zhe said, "Shangshu Cui, is this something wrong? Dashun arrested my Koryo spies before, but it was just a repatriation. If we annoy Dashun again, I'm afraid it will be the West Road The pressure is great. In all fairness, the current Dashun, but I, Gao Li, can stop it?"

Of course, Wang Hui knew in his heart that with the strength of the Goryeo army, it would definitely not be able to defeat Dashun.Dashun successfully defeated Yelu Chongyuan last year. No matter how arrogant Gao Li is, she should know the gap between them.

Cui Jie'an said: "Lord Lin, why don't you grow other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige! It is true that I am not as good as Dashun, but if Dashun made such a move, we would have no chance to fight back? Your Majesty, Yi Chenzhi See, why don't you go and invite the Liao Kingdom, and invite the Liao Kingdom to send troops!"

Cui Chong also agreed: "That's right, Liao Kingdom, as the sovereign state of Koryo, should indeed protect the entire territory of Korea. Jurchen is also a vassal state of Liao Kingdom, but it's just rebellious. As long as I, Korea, show evidence, Liao Kingdom will definitely agree to send troops. "

Wang Hui had no idea. As a vassal state that had just surrendered to the Liao Kingdom, Jurchen had surrendered long ago.For the sake of Goryeo, would the Liao Kingdom really offend Jurchen?In fact, what Wang Hui thought was not revenge, but that he needed a guarantee from the Jurchen that he would not come to Korea to rob again.As for whether the Liao Kingdom sent troops, in Wang Hui's view, it was not that important.

"Since all the ministers agree, it's not too late to make this matter cheaper. I will write a letter of state, and Cui Qing will send it to the Liao Kingdom to meet the emperor of the Liao Kingdom." Wang Hui also had hope in his heart, hoping that the Liao Kingdom would mediate from it. Tell Jurchen to stop making trouble.

As for Dashun, he would not attack Goryeo if his name was not corrected.For this point, Wang Hui is very sure.After all, they both govern the country with Confucianism, and when they can live in peace, there is no reason for the two sides to start a war.If, like in the previous dynasty of the Central Plains, the Han people went crazy and attacked Goguryeo desperately, it would be the end of the Goryeo people.But it was precisely in this way that the Wang family could replace them and establish the pro-Central Plains Korea until last year.

Hearing Wang Hui's words, Lin Zhe was still a little worried, and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Jurchens are rebellious, let alone Korea, even the Liao Kingdom, they will often harass them. Go and ask the Liao Kingdom to send troops , is it a little rash?"

Wang Hui had his own plan, and said: "Your Lin, don't worry too much, Gu has already made two-handed preparations. Sending an envoy to the Liao Kingdom is the worst policy. As for the best policy, it is natural to repair the city and send more defenders. In this way , Naturally, it is as strong as gold. Did Lin Qing forget that when the Central Plains attacked Goguryeo, it took 15 years to destroy the country. Today, Goryeo, do I have to lose to the predecessors?"

After saying this, Wang Hui finally regained some confidence.Lin Zhe also understands this truth. Although the farming people are not as aggressive as the nomadic people, their ability to defend the city is still top-notch.In terms of defending the city alone, Lin Zhe is confident that no nation can be compared with Goryeo, not even the Han!

Lin Zhe's confidence naturally came from Goguryeo's resistance to the attack of the Central Plains Dynasty for fifteen years.Finally, when the arrowheads were exhausted and the food was gone, they surrendered and destroyed the country.May I ask, is there any country that can survive fifteen consecutive years of enemy attacks and still stand firm?Besides Goguryeo, Lin Zhe couldn't think of anyone else.

But he forgot that he was forced to defend because of his lack of offensive ability.If the two sides are equal, why do they need to reject the city?It is enough to attack directly, and the defense is only for the weaker side, so it is a last resort.

Just with the arrogance of Gaoli Bangzi, how could he hang his weaknesses on his lips every day?What they want to brag about is their defensive ability, so that the people of Korea can feel at ease.So that after a long time, I forgot my own weakness in field combat ability.
