ps: (Thanks to my friend kno for the reward! The first update is delivered today!)
Although Lu You caught a glimpse of Wang Wen standing beside him at this time, he couldn't care less. He said loudly: "Now that things have come to an end, I will risk my life! I wonder if your majesty wants to dominate the world, establish an unparalleled foundation, and become the emperor of Qin, the emperor of Han, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty. A sage like the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, who will be famous for generations?"
After hearing this, Yue Yun's eyes flickered and said: "If I say I don't want to, then I'm deceiving myself. You go on!" [] Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
"Okay!" Lu You was encouraged at this time, and he cheered up and said: "Your Majesty, now Nanyang has been completely controlled by our Han Dynasty, and Japan has also been included in our Han Dynasty territory. The only ones that have not become our Han territory are Tubo and Mongolia. , Liao Kingdom and Goryeo"
When he mentioned Goryeo, Wang Wen couldn't help snorting, obviously very dissatisfied with his words.
Lu You hesitated for a moment, then said to Yue Yun: "Your Majesty, can you take a step to speak?"
Yue Yun knew that he was worried about Wang Wen being there, so he whispered to Wang Wen: "Sister Wen, Wu Guan and I will go to the side to discuss military and state affairs. We will be here soon!"
After that, he and Lu You went to a secret room next to him. After asking the maid to bring two cups of tea, he said, "Wuguan, there is no one here now. Just tell me!" "Please!" Search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
At this time, Lu You smiled calmly and said: "The little minister continued what he said Needless to say, Tubo has been divided into hundreds of tribes, large and small. As long as I, the big man, adopt the method of combining kindness and power, and then govern with It is not difficult to incorporate the successful experience of Nanyang into the territory of our Han Dynasty. Mongolia is currently under the rule of the Liao Kingdom. However, although the Mongols are the same as the Khitans, they are of the same lineage as the Shiwei people. But in fact The two sides seem to be in harmony with each other. According to Lu¡¯s understanding, many Mongolian tribes are not convinced by the Liao Kingdom. In the future, they may rebel like the Jurchens in the past and become a serious problem for the Liao Kingdom"
Hearing this, Yue Yun was suddenly moved, as he knew the subsequent historical development. Of course, we understand that Mongolia will rise and not only destroy Xixia, Jin, and Western Liao, but also the Southern Song, Goryeo, and Tubo. But among people of this era, Lu You was the only one who could see the rise of Mongolia. This shows that Lu You is truly a genius.
At this time, Lu You went on to say: "Although Goryeo, under the rule of Princess Wen, was interested in our country, no matter what, it was impossible for Goryeo to put the interests of our Han Dynasty above the interests of its own country. Throughout the history of Goryeo, the country When the Central Plains dynasty was strong, they would bow their knees and claim vassal status. But once the Central Plains dynasty declined, they would encroach on the territory of the Central Plains and increase their own strength. This started with Goryeo's annexation of Liaodong during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which attracted the attention of the three emperors of Sui Yang. This can be seen from the expedition to Korea"
After a pause, he continued: "During the Tang Dynasty, after Silla destroyed the enemy countries Goryeo and Baekje that threatened it, it did not want to be grateful. Instead, it took advantage of the Tang Dynasty's war with Tubo to annex the Tang Dynasty's Korean peninsula. Most of the territory. After the Tang army counterattacked, they professed their vassalship and begged the Tang army to retreat. This went on and on, and finally took advantage of the fall of the Tang Dynasty to occupy the entire Korean Peninsula!"
"After that, the general of Silla, Wang Jianjian, proclaimed himself King of Goryeo, destroyed Silla, and replaced him as the ruler of the Korean Peninsula. He has been trying to expand his territory northward, and took advantage of the war between Liao and Song to capture the The territory of the Liao State along the Datong River. Later, the Liao State sent troops to attack Goryeo, but Goryeo was defeated. It sent an envoy to surrender and sued for peace, expressing its willingness to become a vassal of the Liao State and severing diplomatic relations with the Song State. However, after the Liao Army retreated, they again advanced. , and even reached the Yalu River for a time. But when the Liao State sent troops to attack again, they repeated their old tricks. They offered to surrender and begged for peace, and begged the Liao Army to withdraw. This was repeated three times" Lu Youyou stopped here. He came down, picked up the tea cup on the table, and took a sip of water.
Then he continued: "After the Jin Kingdom destroyed the Liao Kingdom, the King of Goryeo Wang Gou sent an envoy to surrender to the Jin Kingdom, thinking that the Jin Kingdom was a vassal And now, Goryeo has taken advantage of the chaos in the Jin Kingdom to affect us. The melee between the Liao, Jin and Han kingdoms brought the land east of the Tumen River into their own territory"
When Lu Youyou reached this point, Yue Yun was already shocked, because he knew that what Lu Youyou said was true.
"So, it's no wonder that Yelvpu was so angry that he sent troops to attack Goryeo! Apparently, the new queen of the Liao Kingdom learned from the previous Central Plains Dynasty's attack on Goryeo, but gave up halfway because the King of Goryeo offered a surrender. She insisted on We must destroy Goryeo. In Wei Chen's opinion, this is a great opportunity to bring Goryeo under the direct rule of the Central Plains!" Lu You said with a little excitement on his face.
"Incorporated into the Central Plains? It should be incorporated into the rule of the Liao Kingdom." Yue Yun said with a bitter smile.
"Yes! But the Liao Kingdom is also part of our Central Plains DynastyPoints! Just like the Wei State during the Three Kingdoms period and the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In the future, the world will be unified, and by then Goryeo will successfully become a province of our great Han! Lu You said categorically. Obviously in his opinion, if there is a annexation war between Liao and Han in the future, the winner will definitely be Han.
"So, you concealed the news of Liao's attack on Goryeo, for fear that I would send troops to rescue Do you want to wait for Goryeo to perish?" Yue Yun said with a stern look in his eyes at this time.
Lu You heard that Yue Yun's tone was unkind, so he lowered his head, not daring to look into his eyes, and said tremblingly: "Not only that, two months ago, Princess Wang Wen also sent an envoy to Japan to find you, but I also Locked up"
"Lu You, you are so bold! Do you know what I hate most?" Yue Yun said sadly at this time: "What I hate most is the jester who deceives superiors and subordinates. But I never expected that such a The Fool is actually the person I trust the most, value the most, and regard as my brother!"
Lu You was startled at this time and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "I deserve death for my crime. I shouldn't have made my own decisions and concealed this matter from Your Majesty!"
"Okay! Get up!" Yue Yun saw that his purpose of intimidating him had been achieved, so he softened his tone and said: "Since you had good intentions, let's forget about it for the time being. You will be fined for one year, and your official position will be Demoted one level as punishment!"
Lu You heard that Yue Yun's punishment for him was not severe. Fang was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly to express his gratitude.
"Okay! Stop kowtowing. It's not like you don't know that I hate people kowtowing the most! This will never happen again! If there is a next time, don't blame me for being rude! Do you hear me clearly?" Yue Yun said in a stern tone. said.
"I will never deceive Your Majesty again!" Lu You breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the ground.
"Wuguan, in your opinion, how should we deal with the Liao Kingdom's attack on Goryeo now?" Yue Yun said in a deep voice.
Lu You had obviously already made a plan, so he said loudly: "In my opinion, the situation in Japan has gradually calmed down and Nanyang has also stabilized. Our country should focus on starting a war with the Liao Kingdom. Previously, we had fought with the Liao Kingdom. More than a year has passed since the three-year armistice agreement was signed. At present, after the Liao Kingdom conquered Goryeo, its power has expanded much more than before. We should use the remaining year and a half to actively prepare for war and strive to settle the matter in one battle. , defeat the Liao Kingdom and unify the world!"
After Yue Yun heard this, his eyes flickered. To say that he did not have the ambition to unify the world would be to deceive himself. But if he had to meet Yelvpu in full force because of this, it would make him hesitate.
It¡¯s not that he was afraid of not winning. He believed that even though Yelu Pusuwan was a very smart and resourceful queen, in the face of the Han army¡¯s powerful troops, excellent firearms and equipment, and high morale, the Liao Kingdom would definitely Defeated.
However, as a result, all life in the north will be devastated. With Yelvpu Suwan's wisdom, he might come up with a way to make it even more difficult for him to resist than He Shilie Zhining's strong wall and clear wilderness. Even if they barely win, I'm afraid they will pay a heavy price.
Lu You seemed to have noticed Yue Yun's worries. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we Han people have been threatened by nomads in the north since the Spring and Autumn Period. From Beidi during the period of Qi Henggong to the Warring States Period The Donghu Dynasty at that time, the Xiongnu during the Qin and Han Dynasties When our Central Plains Dynasty was strong, it could resist the invasion of foreign tribes from the north and maintain domestic stability. However, once the Central Plains Dynasty was weakened by civil strife, it immediately triggered the Western Jin Dynasty. The five indiscriminate chaos of China have devastated all life in our Central Plains, and the Han people have died"
Speaking of this, he also said with some excitement: "After that, the Turks in the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the Khitans in the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty all continued the past practices and formed a dynasty established by the Han people. faced a serious threat, forcing successive dynasties to focus on resisting the invasion of foreign enemies in the north, while neglecting expansion to the south and overseas But twenty-five years ago, due to the incompetence of the former Song Dynasty Huizong, the government finally It caused the disgrace of Jingkang and caused the Han people to suffer unprecedented shame and humiliation. This is a bloody lesson!"
He stared into Yue Yun's eyes and said: "So, even if Yelu Pusuwan, the empress of the Liao Kingdom, has a close relationship with Your Majesty now, and seeing that our Han army is strong, she will not go south, and she will never do so in the future? Your Majesty is a sage. Your Majesty, with Your Majesty by your side, maybe I, a big man, don¡¯t have to worry about the hidden dangers in the north. But what about behind Your Majesty¡¯s death? Your Majesty dares to guarantee that your descendants will be as wise and mighty as Your Majesty, and the Liao Kingdom does not have a capable and ambitious emperor. ?¡±
When Yue Yun heard this, he was also a little moved. Indeed, nipping potential dangers in the bud is the surest way.
Lu You said with a deep worry in his eyes: "Even if the Liao Kingdom abides by the covenant from generation to generation and never goes south again, just like before."?But who can guarantee that among the various ethnic groups in the north, there will no longer be an aggressive and powerful country like the Jin Kingdom? If it destroys the Liao Kingdom and continues to invade our Han Dynasty southward, how can we guarantee that we will not come second? Second Jingkang crisis? "(To be continued.)
