In the south of Baozhou City, thirty miles away, the camps stretch endlessly, the flag in the middle is like a cloud, and there are soldiers patrolling before and after, so the weather can be regarded as majestic.

And in the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, a member of the Goryeo army was asking for orders to a civilian official sitting at the head: "Jin Xianggong, the rogue rebel army that occupies Baozhou and other places really refuses to submit to it, but it is just some barbarian bandits in Liaodong, who prevaricated before, and now they are expelling the envoys sent by our dynasty, it is useless to say more, let's wait for the march!" ”

The Goryeo general, who was anxious to ask for battle, had also formed a bond with Xiao Tang before, and it was at that time that he was beaten by Xiao Tang in Mizhou's fist and foot competition, and Jin Zhi, who was also born in the Goryeo family.

The elderly civil official who sat at the head of the tent was the prime minister of the Goryeo Dynasty, and was appointed by the lord of Goryeo Wang Mata as the envoy of the northwest army.

"The Liao rebel army occupying Bao, Ding, and Xuanzhou, judging from the confrontation some time ago, is not like an ordinary rabble. I thought it would be best if I could induce them to submit without using troops, but now it seems... Although he had no choice but to use force to forcibly capture it, the official was only worried that he had sent an envoy to lobby the Jin State, begging him not to lead his troops south to occupy Baozhou and other important places where the Liao Dynasty originally choked the throat of Goryeo. Now I am making a big move, lest something happen to the Jin Country......"

Jin Yuan thought about it for a while, and then sighed and said. Jin Zhiyan, a military general with a pleasing position on his face, scolded fiercely in his heart when he heard this, and Fu said: Corrupt Confucian scholars are still afraid of things! For Liao, Jin Na and other beasts Di Yi to compromise, to the Song Dynasty only promised, and now the army to attack the gang of rebellious army rogues still have so many concerns, directly fell into the prestige of my Great Goryeo Kingdom!

Today's Goryeo has not yet entered the era of the dictatorship of the military ministers a few decades later, but the national policy of the Goryeo Dynasty also tended to emphasize literature over military force, which led to the decline of the status of the military and the hidden danger of deepening the contradiction between the religious ministers and the military ministers. The Kim Nao family is also from a hard-line martial artist in Goryeo, and since he is not used to seeing the Chinese official think about it, he looks timid.

But now that Jin Yuan is the prime minister of the Goryeo Dynasty, Jin Zhi, the general who leads a group of soldiers and horses, can only hold back his temperament, and continue to ask for orders and say: "But as Jin Xianggong said before, now the Jin people only care about attacking and destroying the Liao Dynasty and have no time to look east, and they can only take advantage of this period of time to take Baozhou, otherwise the Jin people will inevitably control Baozhou and other places like the Liao State, and form a sword and axe to my Goryeo, and now we must not hesitate and hesitate!" ”

Of course, Jin Yuan also understands that "recovering Baozhou and other places" is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Goryeo Kingdom, and it is an opportunity that cannot be lost and will never come again. And after this battle, in one fell swoop, take Bao, Ding, Xuan and other state capitals, whether it is the Liao Dynasty in the past or the Jin State today, can roughly form a trend across the river, then his name of Jin Yuan will also be recorded in the history books of Goryeo with the work of expanding the border......

Since the founding lord of the country, Wang Jian, launched a mutiny to remove the Gong descendants, Goryeo has been planning to take advantage of the situation to expand its territory, and then destroyed Baekje, and finally completed the great cause of unifying the land of Samhan, and in the fifth year of the Liao Qiantong and the fourth year of Song Chongning (1105), the county was officially set up on Tamna Island and included it in the territory. Nowadays, the peninsula area is almost all the territory of the Goryeo king, and now it is only actively expanding the territory to the north, but the original Liao Dynasty, the current Jin State, the two behemoth powers dominate Liaodong, inhibiting the momentum of Goryeo's northward look, after several generations of lords of the country, now roughly push the border to the middle and upper reaches of the Qingchuan River to the lower reaches of the Yalu River, but if you want to go further, you are bound to fight again with the northern powers, even if you can resist for a while, but it is only a waste of national strength, and you still can't cross the Yalu River to get an inch of land......

Originally, I thought that he was secretly dealing with the Song State, designing a conspiracy with the north of Liao, Jin and other tiger and wolf countries, waiting for the opportunity to go north to expand the territory of Liaodong, but the Song Dynasty could no longer count on it, so that our monarch worked hard, but the great Song Dynasty official Zhao Ji had a traitorous party to seize power, slander and luck, just to enjoy and be comfortable, and now he is still conspiring with the Jin State and the tiger to attack Liao. Now the only way to take advantage of the nod and acquiescence of the Jin State is to take the three states of Bao, Ding, and Xuan, and include all the places on the southeast bank of the Yalu River into the territory of Goryeo, and in order to guard against the big powers in the north, since the rebel army occupying these cities does not know how to raise them, I am afraid that it is imperative to raise troops to forcibly conquer them.

Jin Yuan still had some worries in his heart, that is, judging from the previous few small-scale war conflicts, there was no shortage of brave generals in the opposing army, and the infantry soldiers were also brave and good at fighting, and they were definitely not a rabble that was about to collapse at the touch of a button. I heard that the Liao leader who stood in Baozhou was the head of the Khitan tribe, but there were many armies and horses under his command, and there seemed to be Han people, Bohai and other ethnic groups who were brave and healthy. Jin Yuan secretly ordered me to be the envoy of the soldiers and horses in the northwest, and led 70,000 soldiers and horses to the north to take Nabaozhou, and now I have to forcibly use force to conquer it, but can I really get rid of the rebels and successfully capture the three military states?

After all, Jin Yuan, as a civil servant, had been a diplomatic envoy for a long time, and if possible, he most hoped to bring the other party to its knees by surrendering without a fight. But now it is obvious that the Goryeo country is coerced, but the other party is just a fart like a nobody, which also makes Jin Yuan even more angry and indignant, that thief and rebel party, and he has also despised the national prestige of my Goryeo country!

For the Liao, Jin and other big countries from the Diyi barbarians, our country has no choice but to submit to it, but only a few chaotic armies, a few stragglers of the northern tribes gathered in one place, and they dare to despise our dynasty of Goryeo.

After thinking about it, Jin Yuan finally spoke: "Order Li Fang to point the 4,000 sailors north of Nanpu, and advance with the vanguard of General Jin's troops and horses, and take advantage of the siege of the city to defeat the Baozhou thief party, the 4,000 sailors entered the corner of Baozhou port, and attacked on both sides, so we must conquer the city here in one fell swoop, and then take advantage of the situation to wave the army, and even take Ding, Xuan, and the two states, and wipe out the gang of rebellious army thieves in one fell swoop!" ”

Jin Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately gave orders to Jin Yuanlang, and he read in his heart that now I am in the Goryeo Dynasty Yin Qiang, Wu Yanzhong (moved to Goryeo to enter the country and naturalized Hanchen) and other famous generals have passed away one after another, in addition to the Zhimen Province and Wei Weiqing Tuo Junjing, who also has military power in the court, and now most of the troops in Goryeo are the young and strong sons of two classes of military ministers, if I lead the army to capture the three states of Bao, Ding, and Xuan in one fell swoop, such an immortal achievement, but Yin Wensu Gong has never made it back then. Once the meritorious service is built, and then time, the soldiers and horses, I hope that one day the army will go north to annex the entire territory of Liaodong, and the merits of the Orthodox Church I Jin Zhi are above the warriors of all generations of the Goryeo Dynasty!

Jin Zhi, who could not bear to enter, immediately conveyed the commander order of Jin Yuan, the commander of the soldiers and horses in the northwest, dispatched all the troops and horses, and set off north to Baozhou. Walking only ten miles away, where the dust started, there was already an enemy sentry road, approaching, Luan bell rang, the Goryeo army also immediately sent light cavalry to the sentinel to investigate, but not a long time, the opposite side from the direction of Baozhou City more and more soldiers and horses, in order to intercept the momentum, to curb the Goryeo army north.

When the Goryeo Sentinel came back to tell the army, Jin Zhi gritted his teeth, but his eyes were also full of eagerness, he shouted, and said loudly: "The thieves and thieves who occupy Baozhou are arrogant, and they dare to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight!" This is also convenient, when the army will wave to crush it and wipe it flat, first take down the head of the land of Baozhou, and also teach me to get it at my fingertips! ”
