In the second year of Yuanyou in the Song Dynasty, the third year of Da'an in the Liao Dynasty, the month of Renyin in the April (21).

The Liao master Yelu Hongji personally came to the periphery of Kaijing, the capital of Goryeo.

The Liao Taishi, the chief manager of the Goryeo camp, and the Lelang County Prince Yelu Dilie led many civil and military officials to go out to the camp to greet him for thirty miles.

In the ritual and musical promotion, Yelu Dilie led his ministers to kneel before the imperial guards.

"I welcome Your Majesty the Emperor and wish you a lifetime!"

"...Your Majesty will live forever!"

Yelu Hongji, wearing military uniform and sword, rode his horse to Yelu Dilie, turned over and dismounted, and personally helped the loyal old minister up: "The Grand Master is exempt from courtesy!"

Then, he looked up and down at Yelu Dilie and sighed, "The Grand Master is a little older!"

Yelu Dilie suddenly burst into tears: "When you die for Your Majesty, how dare you not devote yourself to your whole life?"

For Yelu Dilie and his family, the Liao Lord treated them only two words: the national sage!

Since the reign of King Qin (Han Sikuang), he has been highly valued and has been regarded as a confidant for generations.

Based on him, Yelu Hong can only describe it as "heart-to-heart".

Now, he is the governor of Timucheng and is named Prince Lelang.

He also promised that in the future, he would like to imitate King Wen Zhong and establish his palace tent in Goryeo.

So, no matter how others think of Yelu Hongji, in Yelu Dilie's heart, this is his Emperor Zhaolie!

It is worth giving all of it to repay!

This can be regarded as Yelu Hongji's personality charm!

Although he is delicious.

But I am willing to delegate power!

Whether it was Yelu Chongyuan in the past or Yelu Yixin in the later years, they just chose to believe in it blindly.

Until Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Yixin were not satisfied with being just a deputy emperor and wanted to be the real emperor.

Now, facing Yelu Dilie and Yelu Hongji, he still chooses to believe blindly.

The power of the entire Goryeo conquest was granted with full authority.

Since the war started, Yelu Hongji has been waiting for the phone in Nanjing.

When Yelu Dilie conquered Pyongyang, he moved his palace tent from Nanjing to Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo.

He also came to Yazihe to hold a fish banquet, and made every effort to win over the scholars of Nuzhi, Bohai and Goryeo, and fully met all the military needs of Yelu Dilie.

Now, I personally came to Kaijing with the rewarded military funds to boost morale and cheer for the upcoming general attack on Kaijing.

From the end, he almost never dared to use Yelu Dilie's troops.

For such a level of trust, only Emperor Zhaolie and the Later Lord can give it to his ministers in history books.

"Please recommend old ministers to your Majesty..." Yelu Dilie said in a deep voice, then lowered his head and called the two newly surrendered Goryeo scholars to Yelu Hongji.

When these two Goryeo scholars met Yelu Hongji, they bowed and said in the pure Zhongyuan Zhengyun: "The Jin clan of the Qingzhou family is Shunzheng..."

"Gingzhou Cui's loyalty..."

"I bow my head and worship His Majesty the Emperor again, and wish my emperor a great life!"

When Yelu Hongji heard the surnames of the two Koreans claiming, he was immediately happy.

"Kim Aiqing, Choi Aiqing..."

"Please get up quickly!"

As he said that, he stepped forward and helped the two people up in person!

It's not just their names that are very pleasant.

One is called Shunzheng and the other is called Zhongshi, which really scratched Yelu Hongji's itchy spot.

He hoped that the Goryeo people would obey the Great Liao Dynasty, regard him as orthodox, and be loyal to him.

At the same time, it is also because these two people claim to be the Jin family of Gyeongju and Cui family of Gyeongju are the top clans in Goryeo!

Yes!

The Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty, both extinct clan politics, have always been prosperous in Goryeo!

The Cui family in Qingzhou, Jin family, Huangfu family in Huangzhou, Liu family in Zhenzhou and other high-ranking families are the Goryeo version of the Five Clans and Jiuwang!

Among them, Cui in Gyeongju and Jin in Gyeongju are the absolute clans that have flourished since the Silla era!

Among them, the Cui family in Gyeongzhou was the surname chosen by Silla students in the Tang Dynasty. After returning to Silla - this is a clinging.

But the royal family on the peninsula only enjoys this.

Therefore, during the Silla era, the Cui family was already a prominent literati clan on the peninsula, with many prime ministers emerging.

In the Goryeo era, scholars from the Cui family still occupied half of the Goryeo court.

[Cui and Wang, share Goryeo] Maybe it's past.

However, Cui's influence in Goryeo is unquestionable.

As for the Kim family?

This is the surname of the Silla royal family!

Since the last king of Silla, Jin Fu, surrendered to the founder of Goryeo, Wang Jian, the surname Wang and Jin have been marrying each other and intermarrying each other.

To show his trust in the Jin family, Goryeo has allowed the Jin family to enjoy a special status in Goryeo since its so-called Taizu Wang Jian, and inherited the title of Gyeongju Governor.

Today's King of Goryeo is all born by Jin Fu's grandchildren.

Therefore, in the past three Liao wars against Goryeo, Goryeo prominent families like the Cui clan of Gyeongzhou and Jin clans never surrendered.

Now, both Cui and Jin have begun to surrender and bow to him, Yelu Hongji, three bows and nine bows. This is called Yelu Hongji, so he is so happy!

Kim Soon-jung and Choi Zhongshi were happy when they saw Yelu Hongji, so they said good things without money.

Yelu Hongji was so happy that he gave them one pound of brown sugar and fifty pieces of silk cloth on the spot. He was promoted to an official position and appointed as a guest.

The two of them were even more happy and flattered, and they worked harder.

After Kim Soon-jung and Choi Zhongshi, Yelu Dilie introduced several newly surrendered Goryeo civil and military officials to meet Yelu Hongji.

Yelu Hongji comforted and rewarded him one by one.

When he was surrounded by his ministers and returned to the Liao army camp, Yelu Hongji issued another edict to reward the three armies.

A person gave him a bucket of wine and a piece of silk.

Suddenly, the joy was thunderous!

The cheers and excitement in the Liao Kingdom camp and the Goryeo defenders in the capital could naturally see clearly.

Gaoli stayed behind in Kaijing, and King Jilin Wang Xi ascended to Kaijing and looked at the Liao people's military camp from afar.

His face fell into silence.

"The Northern Barbarian Lord is here..." Wang Xi sighed.

"Yes..." Behind him, General Wang Guozhan, who was always responsible for the garrison of the capital, looked at the Liao army camp in the distance and said calmly: "The Northern Barbarian Lord is here!"

Wang Xi said in a deep voice: "Taiwei, since ancient times, he will definitely not be able to stay in the lonely city!"

"Now that the Northern Barbarians are here, the morale of the Northern Barbarians is greatly boosted, and our army's morale has fallen..."

"It can't be like this!"

"Can the Taiwei lead the army to attack the Beilu army camp at night and slash his reputation?"

As he said that, Wang Xi looked at the Wang Guodao.

Wang Guozhang shook his head and said, "Your Highness... Now the soldiers in the city can still hold on to the city... If you leave the city..."

"I am afraid that the soldiers will collapse without fighting!"

Wang Xi listened and fell silent.

But he knew that this was the truth!

Since the beginning of spring, the Liao army resumed its attack on Kaijing.

Since February, the Goryeo cities outside Kaijing have been removed one by one.

Ten days ago, the last city in northern Kaijing was also the most important outer stronghold in Kaijing, Haizhou, fell.

Before that, the Goryeo army was defeated one after another by the Liao army in field battles.

Now, he has been defeated more than ten times, and has suffered as many as 20,000 generals!

no way!

The Liao army's strong armored bows, coupled with the fierce and fearless charge of the female Naoyi.

Often, the soldiers of Goryeo have not yet formed a good formation.

It was already surrounded by the Liao cavalry from both wings, or was dispersed by female direct infantry.

Until now, the Goryeo people no longer dared to fight against the Liao people.

Only trapped in the lonely city!

Thinking of this, Wang Xi couldn't help asking: "Taiwei... Decades ago, the Northern Barbarians invaded our Goryeo three times..." "Why, when our country's military could fight with the Northern Barbarians in the field, at least they could escape unscathed..."

"Why can't it work now?"

Wang Guozhan looked at Wang Xi and said, "Why should Mr. Jilin pretend to be unaware of it?"

"Actually, you understand it in your heart!"

Wang Xi sighed and said, "Yes... I should understand..."
