Just when Chu was preparing to go north for negotiations, Song Jiang in Qi also welcomed an unexpected guest, an envoy from Goryeo across the sea, Li Ziliang, the minister of the Li family in Renzhou.
"I didn't expect that within a few years, the Song Dynasty would have a hero like His Highness King Qi."
In the North Study Room, I saw an official in his fifties, wearing a black round-crown hat unique to Goryeo, a white and blue crane cloak, and a pair of wide-leg trousers, speaking with admiration and using words. There was absolutely no awkwardness at all, and it was obvious that he was quite proficient in Chinese.
Over the past ten years or so, the Song Dynasty and Goryeo had the closest exchanges. The two sides had officially sent envoys to each other more than six times. Zhao Ji was extremely fond of Goryeo, and although Goryeo belonged to the vassal state of Liao, , but they also had special respect for the Song Dynasty. The internal system of the court was most influenced by the Song Dynasty, and there were many people who were proficient in Chinese.
Li Ziqiong had been on a mission to the Song Dynasty a few years ago. The Song Dynasty seemed very powerful at that time. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the internal war was already so wary. No wonder the navy of Qi State was on the sea route. .
However, since he heard that Qi State had won a decisive victory in the battle between hundreds of thousands of troops from the Song Dynasty, Li Ziliang was surprised and at the same time felt a glimmer of hope.
"Li Shilang is so grateful. Although our Qi State has fought a war with the imperial court, it is still a vassal state of the Song Dynasty, and the official family is still the master of the world. I know that Li Shilang may be eager to go to Bianjing, but I suggest , I’m still waiting. The court has important matters to deal with recently, so if I go now, the court may not entertain well, which will affect the deep friendship between the two countries. It’s better to take a rest in our country of Qi for a while. Our country of Qi will definitely treat you well as a distinguished guest. !!" Song Jiang smiled and said, although they had once thought that if they lost the imperial court, they could go from Leiden to Goryeo to seek a foundation, but now Qi has established a firm foothold, and its target is Bianjing, which is the Central Plains. In addition, As I continue to understand, I also understand that although Goryeo is now in some internal chaos, its strength is actually not weak. In the Battle of Haolandian, Goryeo mobilized 200,000 troops at once to fight the Jurchens, which is now the Jin Kingdom. Although it is a bit anticlimactic, it still shows its strength, so the idea of conquering across the sea has long been put away.
"Thank you King Qi, but there is actually no need for Xiaguan to go to the imperial capital. Xiaguan still knows the Song Dynasty very well. I heard that Daming Mansion is now in the hands of King Qi," Li Ziqiong said seriously.
"Not bad" Song Jiang nodded.
After hearing this, Li Ziliang said seriously: "What do His Highnesses, King Qi, think of Liao and Jin?"
Hearing this, Song Jiang's eyes moved. After hearing this, Gongsun Sheng next to him smiled and said: "The Liao Kingdom has been the enemy of the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. The imperial court has already formed a maritime alliance with the Jin Kingdom. This matter is your country's help."
The Liao Kingdom blocked the way between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, and there was no way to communicate on the road, so there was only the Maritime Alliance, and how could the Maritime Alliance not have the help of Goryeo.
When Li Ziliang heard this, he shook his head and said: "When I came here, I told you that the Jurchens have a beast-like face, are greedy and ruthless, and should never join forces. However, the officials really want to regain their homeland. I, Gao Liang, have no choice but to help." The alliance was established, but now that the Jurchens have established the Jin Kingdom, they are more powerful and ambitious. The Liao army is retreating steadily. It was already difficult to stop it, but the officials still have to mobilize the domestic army to destroy the Liao. In this case, the Liao army will If the country is destroyed, how can the Song Dynasty be stable!!"
"This time, Xianguan came because my king's health was getting worse. He was very worried that the Song Dynasty would continue to maintain the strategy of allying with Jin to destroy Liao. He said that this was a strategy of national subjugation. He asked Xianguan to persuade him no matter what. After all, the Liao Kingdom must not be destroyed!!"
Song Jiang's expression changed and he said warmly: "The King of Goryeo has a far-sighted vision, and I admire him. What's more precious is that he is seriously ill and still worries about the overall situation of the world."
"Thank you, His Highness King Qi"
"To be honest, I also have doubts about the national policy of uniting Jin to destroy Liao. In fact, because of our Qi State, the border army will no longer attack the Liao State. But even so, can it resist the Jin State? I heard that the Liao State The heroic cavalry that once dominated the world has been severely corrupted, otherwise the Kingdom of Jin would not have been able to rise??"
When Li Ziliang heard this, he immediately said seriously: "The current internal situation of the Liao Kingdom is indeed a bit bad, but as long as the Song Dynasty does not send troops, all the troops can be used to resist the Jin Kingdom. I don't say that I can win, but I insist on a five or six We can definitely do it this year, and we, Goguryeo, will also send troops to assist!!”
Hearing this, Gongsun Sheng said seriously: "Li Shilang, the King of Goryeo is far-sighted and courageous, and I admire him from all over Qi. However, he is seriously ill now. Please forgive me for my offense. Your country is located behind the Jin Kingdom. The Jin Kingdom If we want to send troops with peace of mind, we will definitely appease your country. I believe that the Jin Kingdom is also willing to treat your country like the Liao Kingdom. If the King of Goryeo unfortunately dies of illness, will Goryeo still do this?? I heard that the Goryeo court now The situation is also a bit complicated!! "
After Li Ziliang's expression changed, he looked at Song Jiang and clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, King Qi, I know that Daming Palace connects the north and south and blocks the Yellow River. Without Daming Palace's turnover, it is impossible for the imperial army to attack the Liao Kingdom, so I want to I would like to ask His Highness for your decision!!”
Song Jiang's eyes narrowed, and after a slight silence, he said: "The Daming Palace is in the hands of this king, and I will not allow the Song army to attack the Liao Kingdom at will for the time being."
Li Ziliang looked overjoyed and immediately stood up and said: "I would like to ask His Majesty the King of Qi to immediately send envoys to our country to explain the attitude of the Song Dynasty. As long as the Song Dynasty is willing to protect the Liao Kingdom, our country will definitely be united." , we can even organize the Three Kingdoms Alliance at any time to discuss together to resist the Jin Kingdom!!"
"Three Kingdoms Alliance??" Song Jiang raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, the Liao Kingdom is actually worried about the Song Dynasty attacking again, but if they can get the guarantee from the King of Qi, they have no worries. Although the Liao Kingdom has a century-old feud with the Song Dynasty, with the wisdom of the King of Qi, they will definitely be able to see It is because of the existence of the Liao Kingdom that the Song Dynasty can be stable. Without the Liao Kingdom as a barrier, how could the Jin Kingdom not be greedy for the rich world of the Song Dynasty? The clan is just a piece of paper. The battle between great powers is about strength, soldiers and horses," Li Ziqiong said seriously.
When Gongsun Sheng heard this, his face suddenly showed a trace of appreciation, but he still stood up quickly and said: "Your Majesty, Li Shilang's words are admirable and penetrate the current situation. However, this matter is extraordinary, especially the Three Kingdoms Alliance, which involves There are many aspects, so we should not make a hasty decision easily. We should immediately summon the general secretary and discuss it carefully!!"
When Song Jiang heard this, he nodded and said: "As it should be!!"
"Li Shilang, just take a rest in my country, Qi. You can look around. I will definitely give you an answer in three days."
"Thank you, King Qi." Li Ziliang was not in a hurry after hearing this. Qi State really needed to discuss such a big matter.
