Steel Dynasty - Chapter 734

[Chapter 733 The King of Korea’s Decision]

After three days, Li Chengjae returned to Ryugyong City again.

It’s just that this time he didn’t come back to beg for mercy, but to report the news of the fall of Haigu City to the King of Korea.

“What! Haigu City was occupied by Dayu?” The King of Goryeo almost stood up from the throne in shock. He pointed at Li Chengzai in disbelief and said, “Do you know the consequences of deceiving this king?

” The royal palace is located in the center of Ryugyong City. After arriving at Ryugyong City, Li Chengzai came directly to the gate of the palace.

This time he came back with Park Jung-tae’s body. The palace guards might not know him, but they would definitely recognize Park Jung-tae. After all, Park Jung-tae was a popular figure in front of the King of Korea.

The King of Korea had always counted on Park Jung-tae to lead the Koryo navy to defeat Japan, but now Park Jung-tae died in the hands of the people of Dayu.

“Your Majesty, Pu Zhengtai’s body is right outside the palace gate. Common people dare not deceive your Majesty.” Li Chengzai lowered his head and said.

When the King of Goryeo heard this, he immediately slumped in his chair. He had given the order to plunder Dayu. He did not expect that this order would bring such serious consequences.

“Your Majesty, Haigu City is only a hundred miles away from Liujing City. The army of Dayu can arrive in two days. If it is as Li Chengzai said, Liujing City will be in danger now.”

A minister said sadly.

The face of the King of Goryeo was gloomy. He looked at the other ministers and asked: “You all tell me what to do now?”

Another minister said: “Your Majesty, now we can only ask the Golden Horde to send troops to recapture Haigu City for us. , If, as Li Chengzai said, the soldiers of the Dayu Kingdom now use firearms, our soldiers may not be opponents. “

“Yes, the Dayu Kingdom has defeated the army of the Golden Horde with firearms. We are now. The remaining army is no match for him, and in order to defend the Japanese country, most of the army is at the border and cannot be transferred back.”

The King of Goryeo frowned more and more, and said, “Even so, does this king want to attack Japan? Is the country of Chongqing bowing its head? Is it worthy of the country of Chongqing? “

The country of Chongqing has been weak in recent years. There are few officials in the court who look up to the country of Dayu. Every time they mention the country of Chongqing, they have disdain on their faces.

In their view, the country of Chongqing was just a fat sheep. Now this fat sheep suddenly turned into a man-eating tiger. It was obviously not suitable for them.

“Of course not worthy.”

A general said at this time: “The Great Yu Kingdom is no longer the suzerainty of our Goryeo. Now our suzerainty is the Golden Horde. Your Majesty, this time the Great Yu Kingdom just took advantage of the danger and seized the sea that was not heavily guarded. It’s just an ancient city. This is just a sneak attack. As long as the king gives the general 30,000 soldiers and horses, the general can knock down the ancient city of Hai. Why bother the Golden Horde to personally send troops? “

“General Cui is worthy of being Goryeo. A strong general, in this case, I asked General Cui to lead the army to encircle and suppress him,” the King of Goryeo said happily.

The officers in charge of the battle immediately became excited when they heard this, and they all agreed with it.

Li Chengzai has been observing the reactions of the officials. He found that except for the objections of a few officials who knew the Dayu Kingdom, the other officials despised the Dayu Kingdom.

He knew in his heart that Goryeo had been bullying Dayu over the years and taking advantage every time. They would not accept the fact that Dayu became stronger without paying a heavy price.

This time Li Cheng came back just to inform the King of Goryeo about Dayu’s conditions, so he said: “Your Majesty, the purpose of Dayu’s attack on the navy this time is indeed to retaliate against our robbery of Dayu, but their real purpose is For the sake of trade, the generals of the Dayu Kingdom said that if the king cedes Haigu City and establishes a trading port, they will stop attacking, otherwise they will attack all the way to Xijing, and they will also help us deal with the Japanese at sea.”

“Deal with the Japanese.

The Japanese Kingdom?” The King of Goryeo was startled. What he hated most now was not the Yu Kingdom, but the Japanese Kingdom.

He lost half of his kingdom in one year, and now the Japanese were burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of crimes in the south, which completely destroyed his majesty.

What he was most dissatisfied with was the decision of the barbarians to divide Goryeo into two.

“Yes, they said they could cut off Japan’s maritime supplies, but it all depends on the king’s sincerity.” Li Chengzai said.

As soon as he finished speaking, an official suddenly pointed at Li Chengzai and said, “Traitor, how much money have you received from the people of Dayu, and now you are making noise for them here.”

Li Chengzi looked at the minister and sneered three times, and said: “The ordinary people are just chosen by them to convey the news. There is no such thing as a traitor. However, Mr. Han has collected countless gold and silver treasures from the Golden Horde and is dedicated to speaking for them.”

“Bold untouchable, Mr. Han It’s your fault. If you don’t drag him down, he’ll be beaten to death!” Some officials immediately started making noises.

The King of Koryo’s eyes were gloomy. He was able to become King of Koryo only because of the support of the Golden Horde. Naturally, he could not compromise with Dayu at this time, otherwise he would probably end up with the same fate as the previous King of Koryo.

But at the same time, he was worried that Dayu would continue to harass him when he was angry. Thinking of this, he looked at Li Chengzai. In his opinion, this person could not be killed, and he still needed to deal with Dayu.

So he said to the ministers: “This person is still of some use, it would be a pity to kill him.”

After pondering for a while, he said to Li Chengzai: “Go back and tell the people of Dayu that I need three days to think about this.” “

Li Chengzai frowned. The words of the King of Goryeo were obviously a delaying tactic. In the past, he would have clearly explained the pros and cons, but now he is very disappointed with Goryeo from top to bottom.

His eyes swept over Master Han, Master Cui and all the ministers. He knew very well that these people were just minions of the Golden Horde in Goryeo.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Li Chengzai responded.

The King of Korea felt the pleasure of succeeding in his plan, and he raised his hand to let Li Chengzai leave.

Watching Li Chengzai disappear, the King of Goryeo said: “Immediately send an envoy to the Golden Horde to bring reinforcements.”

“Yes.” The officials said in unison.

Here Li Cheng got on his horse and went to Haigu City. When he came back this time, there was no way out. The ministers in the palace all scolded him as a traitor.

If he could not use Dayu to achieve success this time, he would die miserably in the future. Thinking of this, Li Chengzai strengthened his belief even more.

The most important thing is that he believes that the Great Chongqing Kingdom will defeat the barbarians because he has seen the excellent firearms and equipment of the Great Chongqing Army.

Early the next morning, he arrived at Haigu City and immediately reported the words of King Goryeo to Yue Yun.

“Is this King of Goryeo trying to delay time to wait for the barbarian reinforcements?” Yue Yun’s words hit the nail on the head.

Liu Chen sneered and said: “It seems that we haven’t beaten them hard this time. Why don’t we go directly to the inland river and go to Liujing City to show them some color.”
