Hanyang Province is located on the north bank of the Han River, surrounded by hills, about 60 miles from the sea.

Located in the middle of the Goryeo Peninsula, this city is the capital of the Goryeo people.

Just after January, the heavy snow closed the mountain, Qin Zitan looked at the silver outside the window, worried and incomprehensible.

Qin Zitan, as the special envoy of the Governor's Office of Zhejiang and Fujian, has been coming to Hanyang by sea for more than a month.

Zhen Feng attacked Danluo Island, but he was finally half a step slower. Not only failed to capture Jeju City and take the whole island of Danluo, but also caused the Haiyang / Navy to suffer a fatal blow, Zhen Feng and more than 4,000 Haiyang soldiers were also trapped on Danluo Island, unable to return, life and death are unpredictable.

The whole country of Goryeo was shaken, and there were those who advocated the use of troops, those who advocated peace, and those who advocated asking for help. There is no one thing to do, and they can't come up with a specific countermeasure.

Even if it is necessary to use troops, except for the disabled Haeyang / water army, there is no large-scale water camp available in Goryeo, and in recent months, the whole territory has been snowed heavily, and it is difficult to transfer troops from land to Haeyang. The key is from the southern tip of Haiyang to Danluo Island, there are still 150 or 60 miles of sea route to cross, how can you do it without a navy?

In Qin Zitan's opinion, Zhen Feng was too indecisive.

If it were in mid-September, Zhen Feng would have made up his mind to use troops on Danluo Island on a large scale, and he would never have fallen into the current predicament.

At that time, the main force of the Huaidong Military Division was still trapped in Huaisi, and the sea was also stormy in September, so the possibility of sending reinforcements was extremely low.

Once Zhen Feng takes Danluo Island and occupies the two fortresses of Seogwipo and Jeju, the Huaidong Military Division will send a large army across the sea after that, and it will also be repelled due to the lack of a landing base to gain a foothold; The situation will not be so complicated.

Nowadays, if there is a place for success, it is to successfully pull the Goryeo people into the war against the Huaidong Military Division, but if the Goryeo people cannot concentrate on the development of the naval army, the containment of the Huaidong Military Division is very limited. It is impossible for Lin Jian to come greedily at this time to invade the mainland of Goryeo.

The attitudes of the Fuso feudal states such as Osumi and Tsukushi are also very ambiguous, and it is difficult to have an active posture when the Huaidong Military Division is pressed by the army.

Qin Zitan tapped on the Sun Hall with a headache, and he couldn't see the development of the situation clearly for a while.

The rise of Lin Tie is too jaw-dropping, after the four victories in Yannan, he quickly gained a firm foothold in Chongzhou, from the Jiangdong Left Army to the Jinghai Metropolitan Envoy Division, and then to the current Huaidong Military Division, Lin Tie can be regarded as a prince.

During this time, the luxury family successfully connected southern Zhejiang with northern Fujian, and expanded its power to southern Fujian and western Zhejiang, but a series of defeats on Changshan Island, Hecheng, and Daheng Island made Zhejiang's and Fujian's strength in the East China Sea lag behind the Huaidong Military Division.

Qin Zitan has been at sea for several months, but there are ships coming and going, and it is not difficult to get news from China.

After the Huaisi War, the Huaidong Military Division took the consolidation of Huaidong as the key, and built the Hanhai embankment regardless of the investment of money and grain.

If everything goes according to Lin Bin's intentions, even if the luxury family breaks through the defense line in northern Zhejiang and invades Jiangdong, Huaidong will be a hard nut to crack.

However, the navy of the Huaidong Military Division defeated the Haiyang / Navy, and did not immediately launch an offensive against the Zhenfeng Department who retreated to Seogwipo. In the eyes of the Koreans, the Huaidong Military Division also had the intention of showing weakness and discussing peace.

But in Qin Zitan's view, even if Lin Jian negotiated peace with Goryeo, it would be extremely unfavorable to the luxury family.

Once the Huaidong Military Division negotiated peace with the Goryeo people, Danluo Island became independent, and the influence of the luxury family on Goryeo would be quickly marginalized.

Qin Zitan had all kinds of worries in his heart, but it was difficult to solve them.

In the eyes of the Goryeo people, if it weren't for Qin Zitan's instigation of spitting lotus flowers, Zhen Feng, the governor of Haiyang County, would not rashly use troops against Danluo, and Goryeo would not have fallen into such an embarrassing situation.

Qin Zitan was completely snubbed.

In the past few days, not to mention the Minister of State and the Minister of Rites, even an ordinary official of the Ministry of Rites of Goryeo, Qin Zitan has not been seen; The Goryeo side sent a post to perfunctory him every day.

He stayed in Hanyang, as if blindfolded and blinded, and every day except for sending people to the tea shops and restaurants in the city to inquire about some hearsay rumors, he could not get more accurate information, and he could not know what the current situation of Danluo Island was.

Hanyang City imitates Yanjing, although it is not as large as Yanjing, but it is also a rare Xiongcheng in the Central Plains.

The official post building is exquisite, the eaves are green tiles, covered with snow, and the plum blossoms in the courtyard are spitting, but they do not reduce the meaning of depression.

At this time, the front yard was noisy, the horse's neck bell rang, and a horse team came into the post house, and there were quite a few people. Qin Zitan said secretly: Which noble official from Goryeo came to Hanyang, and the honor team is so large?

Qin Zitan called out to his subordinates and ordered: "What's going on in the front yard, do you find someone to ask?" ”

Qin Zitan usually asked Hu Cong to deliberately stammer the officials in the post house, and at this time it played a role, although it was forbidden to enter the front yard, the news came back: "It's the envoy of the Donghu people who just moved in......"

"Donghu people!" Qin Zitan was slightly stunned, the Donghu people's mission came, he didn't get any news in advance, it can be seen that he was no different from blindfolded in Hanyang, but then he was happy.

Donghu is the suzerainty of Goryeo, and under the force of Goryeo, Goryeo submits to Donghu, obeys everything, and does not dare to resist.

In the decision-making of the Danluo matter, the influence of the Donghu envoys is absolutely incomparable to Qin Zitan.

"You take my prayer post and find a way to go to the front yard to meet the envoys of the Donghu people." Qin Zitan commanded.

Hu Cong returned a short time after leaving, and Yi Cheng also followed, and said: "The Secretary of Rites has specially instructed that no one should disturb the rest of the envoy of Donghu, please understand......"

Qin Zitan secretly said that the Goryeo people were not stupid, and forbade them to contact the Donghu envoys, and I am afraid that they would block the news of Danluo Island to the Donghu envoys, so as to prevent the Donghu people from interfering in the national affairs of Goryeo by taking advantage of the status of the suzerain.

Although Goryeo is attached to Donghu, it will not really want the Donghu people to dictate Goryeo's state affairs.

Qin Zitan looked outside the courtyard, the Goryeo people sent many sentry posts to prevent contact with the Donghu envoys here, and he had nothing to do, so he sent the post away in a depressed manner, thinking to himself: If there is no action, it is better to go to Kyushu Island, there are maritime merchants between Zhejiang, Fujian and Kyushu, and the influence of the luxury family on the vassal states of Kyushu Island is much greater than that of Goryeo.

When it was getting dark, there was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard, and there was the sound of swords unsheathed. Qin Zitan didn't know what was going on in the inn, but someone used a knife and a gun.

Qin Zitan pushed open the window and saw a team of Donghu warriors pulling out their knives and trying to break into this courtyard, but the guards sent by Yicheng pushed them open, wanting to stop them, but they didn't dare to use force against the guards of the Donghu envoys.

"What are they going to do?" Qin Zitan's subordinates were shocked, and they wanted to gather guards to the courtyard to prevent the Donghu people from rushing in.

"Come back!" Qin Zitan shouted back to obey, and the Donghu envoys would never make a big move and send someone to kill him in the post house.

"Dare to ask Mr. Qin, the envoy of the Governor's Mansion of Zhejiang and Fujian, if he is there?" One of the Donghu warriors led by him walked into the courtyard, he was not very old, about twenty years old, dressed in fine armor, he was the leader, he put his knife back into the sheath, and asked with a fist in this direction.

"We are," Qin Zitan walked out of the house, stood in the corridor, looked at the Donghu warriors in the courtyard, and asked, "Dare to ask the Donghu envoy, why did you come to Qin?" ”

"I'm Nakh Azig, the deputy envoy of Donghu," said the Donghu warrior with his fists clenched, "This trip is accompanied by the envoy Nahexiong to envoy to Goryeo." When the envoy heard that Mr. Qin was also here, he invited Mr. Qin to the front yard for a gathering. I didn't expect a few blind insects to dare to stand in the way, which frightened Mr. Qin, Azig is really sorry! ”

"It turned out to be General Nahe!" Qin Zitan said with a smile, "I've admired the name for a long time, and Qin is also thinking about visiting...... "I was overjoyed, and I didn't raise the matter of the Li official obstruction."

Nahe Azig is not famous, but Nahe Xiongqi is an important general of the Donghu people and is widely known.

Qin Zitan knew that He Xiongqi was not because of anything else.

In the first battle of Jinhai, Nahe Xiongqi was the main general and was defeated by Lin Xuan; In the battle of Yangxin, Nahe Xiongqi was the deputy general, and he was also defeated by Lin Bin.

Anyone who studies the four battles of the Jiangdong Left Army in Yannan will not turn a blind eye to Nahe Xiongqi.

Seriously speaking, Na He Xiongqi is also an old man in his use of soldiers, and he is a rare general in Donghu who has a steady use of troops. Nahe Xiongqi was repeatedly defeated by Lin Jiao, and there were various factors, which had a lot to do with the main direction of attack of the non-Donghu people on the Eastern Front at that time.

Qin Zitan originally thought that Nahe Xiongqi would be punished and would hide the Donghu people, but he didn't expect that the king of Donghu Khan would use him as an envoy to Goryeo.

Two years ago, the Donghu people broke the border and invaded Yannan, although there were many sharp changes in the hands of the Jiangdong Left Army, but on the whole it was a big victory.

In other generals, the envoys of the Donghu people to Goryeo may not pay much attention to the Huaidong Military Division, but Nahe Xiongqi will definitely not despise the Huaidong Military Division.

As the most important vassal state of the Donghu people, King Donghu Khan sent Nakh Xiongqi to envoy to Goryeo at this time, probably because he also had some thoughts in it.

************

Qin Zitan did not go back to the house to change his official clothes, so he followed Nahe Azig to the front yard to meet the Donghu envoy Nahe Xiongqi.

The Goryeo soldiers in the post house were afraid of the Donghu warriors' rudeness, and the post man rushed over when he heard the news, but he didn't dare to stop him, and sent someone to the Hubu Qing's mansion to ventilate the news, and he looked bitter and followed him to the front yard.

Nakh Azig was not polite to Goryeo Yicheng, and when he went to the front yard, he said in a cold voice: "You can stop!" "Please Qin Zitan enter.

The officials of the post house really didn't dare to follow in, offending the envoys of the state, and it was really not something that they could bear.

Qin Zitan followed Azig inside, and secretly speculated in his heart: When Nahe Xiongqi first came to Hanyang, he sent a deputy envoy to invite him, and he must have noticed the rise of the Huaidong Military Division and the battle between the luxury family and the Huaidong Military Division in the East China Sea.

Not to mention the fact that the Great Yue Dynasty was able to maintain the Jinhai Grain Road, which was supported by the Huaidong Military Division behind the scenes, was a key factor in the fact that the defense line of Yanjing and Yanbei could not collapse.

The Donghu people did not have a naval army, and even if they knew the meaning of the Jinhai Grain Road to the Yanbei defense line, they could do nothing, but they could use the power of Goryeo to form a large-scale naval army to attack the Jinhai Grain Road.

Once the Jinhai grain route is interrupted, the Yanbei defense line will be as fragile as paper paste in front of the iron hooves of the Donghu people.

Qin Zitan thought of this, and shuddered in his heart, things here are very complicated, and it is not a good thing for the luxury family to let the Donghu people enter the customs too early!
