After Wang Hui received the news that Xijing was besieged, his first reaction was to immediately send troops to the rescue, but Wang Hui found that he had no troops to send when he sent troops.
"Ladies and gentlemen, tell me what the Lone King should do," Wang Hui asked the ministers.
Ministers, look at me, I see you don't know how to be good, the highest administrative organ under the king of Goryeo is the parliamentary government, the governor of the parliamentary government is called the leader of the government, and its official position is equivalent to the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, equivalent to the executive envoy of the Great Xia Kingdom, at this time the leader of Goryeo is Chengshi phosphorus, Chengshi phosphorus is the confidant of the king of Goryeo, and the prosperity of the Goryeo Dynasty today is inseparable from the dedicated assistance of Chengshi phosphorus.
"King, Weichen thinks that we only need to do three things at this time."
Cheng Shi Phosphorus said unhurriedly.
Wang Hui said in a panic at this time: "Aiqing has a countermeasure" Cheng Shi Li said to Wang Hui and his ministers: "The first thing is to immediately recruit troops to guard Kaijing, once the enemy army breaks through Xijing, it is not ruled out that the enemy army will continue to move south; The second thing was to immediately send people to Baozhou and transfer the general south to rescue Kaijing; The third thing is to send people to the Great Song Dynasty to ask for help, the Great Song Dynasty is the country of my Goryeo suzerain, and now Goryeo is in trouble, and it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty not to save it. ” "The prime minister's words are reasonable, the lonely king will make an order, and the recruitment will be handled by the prime minister."
Wang Hui immediately agreed.
"Weichen commands, please rest assured, Weichen will do his best to protect Kaijing."
Cheng Shi Phosphorus immediately took the order and left.
In that year, Goryeo and the Liao State had a big war, although the Liao army finally retreated, but it had already scared Goryeo, so Goryeo was like a Liao State minister, but even at that time Goryeo did not cut off contact with the Great Song Dynasty, during that period of time Goryeo can be said to be a servant and two masters, respectively to the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State vassal; However, since the civil strife in Liao, Liao lost the entire Liaodong, so the vassal relationship with Liao was severed, but the vassal relationship with the Great Song Dynasty was never broken.
Goryeo to the Great Song Dynasty, definitely not because of sincere submission to the Great Song Dynasty, those are all nonsense, Goryeo to the Great Song Dynasty is actually to put it bluntly on the face of money, every year the King of Goryeo only needs to send an hour with some local products, and then write a letter of praise to the Great Song Emperor, a good pat on the back of the Song Emperor, as long as the Great Song Emperor is happy, every year the Great Song Emperor will reward a lot of property, these rewards are simply pie in the sky Ah Goryeo has almost no pay, At the same time, the vassal relationship with the Great Song Dynasty also made many of the Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants come to Goryeo to do business, and the annual maritime tax accounts for a large part of Goryeo's tax revenue.
On the other side, Yiwen Zhide, who was stationed in Baozhou, was shocked by the news that Xijing was besieged, you must know that Xijing is one of the two capitals of Goryeo, and it is the core area and important grain producing area of Goryeo, and at the same time, the siege of Xijing also marks that the logistics supply of the Goryeo army has been cut off, and at the same time, it has lost contact with the Goryeo court, and the hundreds of thousands of Goryeo troops have completely become a lone army.
It's hard to stay alive and open Kyoto.
So after Yiwen Zhide got the news that Xijing was besieged, his first reaction was to immediately block the news, and at the same time send people to Yizhou to transfer Yiwen Zhichang and Jin Sitong back; It was less than a day's journey from Baozhou to Yizhou on horseback, and it was already the next day when Yiwen Zhichang and Jin Sitong arrived.
As soon as Yiwen Zhichang came to the lobby of the General's Mansion, he asked Yiwen Zhide: "What happened to the eldest brother who summoned us in such a hurry?"
Yiwen Zhide handed the letter of request for help to Yiwen Zhichang and said, "Look at this. ” After reading it, Yiwen Zhichang frowned and said: "How is this possible, our army has been guarding Yizhou and Baozhou, and not even a single hair of the Boliao army has allowed them to fly over, how can they suddenly besiege Xijing, could it be that the enemy forged this letter." ” "According to the prince's letter for help, among the enemy army, there are not only the banners of the Boliao army, but also the Xia character banner, if the general is not mistaken, it should be the Xia army."
"Xia Jun," Jin Sitong shook his head and said; "How is this possible, the Xia army is thousands of miles away, and there are still Liao countries, Bohai countries, and Boliao countries separated from us in the middle, we have no grudges with the Xia army in the past, and there is no enmity in recent days, can they commit a 10,000-mile expedition to attack us, and we are stationed here, how did they pass, did they pass by sea, this is also impossible, according to the prince's letter, the enemy army is from the upper reaches of the Datong River."
"If General Ben is not mistaken, they must have come from the north."
Yiwenzhide's eyes were very sharp.
"Big brother, you mean they came from Changbai Mountain."
Yiwen Zhichang said with a look of disbelief.
"Okay, let's not talk about that."
Yiwen Zhide said to the two; "No matter where they came from, the current result is that Xijing is besieged, so General Ben decided to immediately send troops to rescue Xijing."
"Big brother, how many men and horses do you plan to lead back, it is said that the combat effectiveness of the Xia army is very strong, and they are all cavalry, and our army is dominated by infantry, and field battles are not advantageous."
Yiwen Zhichang asked Yiwen Zhide.
"Zhichang I will leave you 70,000 soldiers and horses, and I will take the rest of the 80,000 troops with me, you must guard the two states, as long as you guard the two states, it is equivalent to guarding the gate of my Goryeo Kingdom, I will return immediately after I go south to relieve the siege, and I will be back in a month at most."
Yiwen Zhide said to Yiwen Zhichang.
Three days later, Yiwen Zhichang gathered the main army in Baozhou, and swore to go south on the grounds that the Japanese invaders landed from the south and harassed the need for the army to go south to suppress the Japanese, because the Goryeo army was mainly infantry, so the marching speed was very slow, but fortunately there was a Goryeo naval fleet in the Yalu River at that time, so the reinforcements of Yiwen Zhide to the south were divided into two routes, one was led by Yiwen Zhide 10,000 elite Goryeo troops to return to Xijing by sea by sailor ship, and the other route was Jin Sitong led by 70,000 troops to rescue by land.
Gao Wei can be said to be a hundred secrets, just because of Gao Wei's negligence, Li Bingchang and others, who went deep into the hinterland of Goryeo, completely fell into passivity, of course, this is a later story; Jin Sitong led the 70,000 army to march very slowly, a day's march speed is only fifty miles, Gao Wei didn't know that the march speed of the Goryeo army was so slow, time passed day by day, but Gao Wei was in a hurry, at this time it has been ten days since the two armies divided the troops, and the cavalry led by Li Bingchang has not had the slightest news in these ten days, Gao Wei faintly has a sense of foreboding, and Gao Wei who is anxious decided to change his plan.
