Renzhou is less than two hundred miles away from Kaijing, the capital of Korea. Jin Can waited anxiously in the library, but after a full month, he still didn't get a reply.

During this period, Jin Can wrote several letters to the Goryeo court, but all of them fell silent.

Over the past month, there have been more and more cases of forced grain delivery in various places in Koryo, and farmers in some places even rose up to resist.

"It seems that I need to go to Kaijing to meet His Majesty in person!" On the morning of the third day of May, Jin Can couldn't help saying when he saw the grain grabbing again outside.

"Teacher, I think you are worrying unfoundedly! Song people really want to make a deal with us, so don't worry about problems!" The middle-aged Confucian scholar said, supporting Jin Can.

"What do you know? If it's a foolish king, it's normal to use the land to make a deal with us, but if a wise king is alive, there is absolutely no such thing as a deal with the land! In the past month, I have been sending people to investigate the news of Da Song. , Knowing the situation of the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is obviously an unborn generation of Mingjun, how could he give up Liaodong to us?" Jin Can said coldly.

"Teacher, it is General Cui Zhuo who presides over major events in the world today. General Cui is now in Liaodong. Even if you go to Kaijing, it will be useless." The middle-aged Confucian scholar said.

"If it's useless to go to Kaijing, I'll go to Liaodong." Jin Can said firmly.

They were talking here, and another Confucian came running over panting from a distance.

"What happened?" asked the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

"Teacher, brother, the deputy prime minister is coming to Renzhou soon!" said the Confucian scholar.

"Deputy Prime Minister? An Pulin?" Jin Can said.

"It's Master An!" Confucian scholar said.

"What is he doing here?" Jin Can asked.

"Your Majesty An is going to send an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty, and board the ship from Renzhou Port." Confucian scholar said.

"Very good, after An Pulin arrives, I want to see him right away!" Jin Can said.

"Teacher, don't you want to participate in such important national affairs? You are no longer above the temple. If you interfere in national affairs, I'm afraid someone will criticize you." The middle-aged Confucian scholar said.

"That's not the way to say it! It is related to the survival of the country, and everyone has the right to speak." Jin Can said.

Jin Can has a stubborn personality, and no one can stop what he decides.

In the afternoon of this day, An Pulin brought a huge convoy to the Renzhou area, and the convoy was transporting food!

At the moment at the port of Renzhou, there are hundreds of large ships moored here, and the large ships are also preparing to transport grain and silver.

When An Purin passed by the town, he didn't plan to enter the town, but he was stopped by Jin Can's disciple. Jin Can is a great Confucian, so An Purin had to follow him into the library of the town.

"An Mou pays respects to the boss!" After entering a room in the library, Jin Can was sitting there, and An Pulin hurriedly knelt down to salute.

In fact, An Pulin is also in his sixties, but compared to Jin Can, he is still a generation younger! Jin Can discussed friendship with his father's peers, and his qualifications were much older than him, and Goryeo also respected Confucianism, and paid the most attention to the distinction between superiors and inferiors.

"Master An, please sit down!" Jin Can said.

"Boss, I don't know what you are going to stop next?" An Pulin sat down and said.

"I heard that you are going to Da Song to make a deal with the people of Song?" Jin Can said.

"That's right." An Pulin nodded.

"I wrote a letter to the imperial court some time ago. I wonder if the imperial court has received it?" Jin Can said.

"The imperial court has received it." An Pulin said.

"Why didn't the court reply?" Jin Can asked.

"My lord, you have been away from the imperial court for twenty years, and you have no idea what the current situation in the world is like! The Han people are willing to do business with us, willing to sell Liaodong to us, and everyone in the court is busy working on this matter! If you can get Throughout Liaodong, our Goryeo can restore the former Goguryeo, we are also a powerful country in the north, and we can compete with the Song Dynasty, wouldn't that be good?" An Pulin said.

"Greed covered your eyes! You can't see the danger at all!" Jin Can said.

"My lord, what danger is there now?" An Purin said.

"This may be a conspiracy of the Song people. They just paralyze us, and they don't really want to give us Liaodong." Jin Can said.

"Conspiracy? This is impossible! Master Li Rui and I went to Yanjing City several times, and we have found out that the people of Song Dynasty really wanted to give us Liaodong! The emperor and ministers of the Song Dynasty hated generals, and they did not want them Once again, they would rather cede Liaodong! They have just gone through war, and now they are short of gold and silver, so they must give up Liaodong! In addition, even if this is a conspiracy by the Han people, we are not afraid. We now have an army of 500,000, so what? But what are you afraid of?" An Pulin said.

"I heard that our Goryeo army once fought against the Song army, and it is far from being an opponent of the Song army!" Jin Can said.

"We did fail a few times, but that was because we were not prepared! In addition, our soldiers have not experienced battles, so they are not their opponents! But now, after our soldiers have fought against them several times, they have With the experience of killing enemies on the battlefield, if they fight us again, we can stop them!" An Pulin said.

"What if you can't stop it? You are only thinking about dealing with the Song people, and you are not wary of the Song army at all!" Jin Can said.

"Boss, you are really worrying too much! At least we still have the Great Wall. The Khitans and Jurchens can't come from the Great Wall, but can the Han people come?" An Pulin said.

"Han people are different from Khitan people and Jurchens, they have navy!" Jin Can said.

"From ancient times to the present, sailors have had limited effects, just relax, my lord!" An Pulin said.

"You are so arrogant and arrogant, and you are arrogant and arrogant when your own national strength and military strength are far inferior to the opponent's. This is to bring the country to a dead end!" Jin Can said.

"My lord, if you can live another ten years, you will be able to see that Goryeo at that time is far better than it is now! My lord, if there is nothing else, I will leave! Your Majesty ordered us to go to the Song Dynasty, and we This time we will formally sign a contract with Da Song! From now on, Liaodong will be ours!" An Pulin stood up and said.

*** ***

After An Pulin left the town, he led the convoy to continue on. At dusk, they came to a pier, where Li Rui was waiting for An Pulin.

"Master An, why are you here now?" Seeing An Pulin's arrival, Li Rui went up to meet him and said.

"I met a pedantic old man!" An Pulin said with a wry smile.

When he told about Jin Can, Li Rui frowned and said, "Master An, Mr. Jin used to be the prime minister of the imperial court, so he has outstanding talents. We also need to listen to his words! I think we need to remind the court!"

"Let's remind the court when we return from the Great Song Dynasty!" An Pulin said.

It took a full night for all the grain and silver to be transported to the ship.

In the early morning of the second day, a fleet of hundreds of large ships left Renzhou and headed west.

An Pulin and Li Rui stood at the bow of the boat, looking excited.

"After this time, at least we can get Liaoyang! That day, General Jin Changsheng and I went to Liaoyang, which is no worse than opening the capital! After we get Liaoyang, we can even ask His Majesty to go to Liaoyang, and use Liaoyang as our capital from now on! "Li Rui said.

"We'd better have a good talk with the Han people and let them give up the whole Liaodong at once! Huining Mansion and Huanglong Mansion, they'd better give up too!" An Pulin said.

Li Rui nodded.

"After obtaining the entire Liaoyang, the countless lands there, and the millions of people there, our Goryeo will become a real big country, just like the former Goguryeo! Goguryeo was really powerful back then. The emperor of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times. We can't conquer it, and we will be the same in the future! No, we are much stronger than the previous Goguryeo, and then we will go south to conquer the Song Dynasty!" An Pulin said excitedly.

The red sun rose in the distance, and the bow of the ship was all red. An Pulin couldn't help shouting loudly and jumping continuously, and Li Rui beside him also laughed from time to time.

The speed of the boat in this era was very slow, and it took them five full days to arrive at the sea area where Tianjin Wei was located from Renzhou.

When it was more than fifty miles away from Tianjin Wei, the fleet stopped, and An Pulin and Li Rui continued to move forward with only ten ships.

They were also afraid of being deceived, so they had to put most of the silver and grain on the sea ship first, and the rest of the silver and grain would not be shipped until after the formal signing of the treaty! Of course, they have already thought about it, and then they can sign a treaty with Da Song at sea!

After the dozen or so ships arrived in Tianjin Wei, they were immediately received grandly.

An Pulin and Li Rui set foot on the land of Tianjin Wei again. Tianjin Wei was still so prosperous, but their mood was very different from ten months ago.

They came to Da Song for the first time ten months ago, and they were very apprehensive at that time, but now they are full of unspeakable complacency.

In fact, not only them, but the whole Goryeo!

The two did not stop at Tianjin Wei for a while, but immediately headed towards Yanjing City.

On May 12th, the two came to Yanjing City. It was just afternoon, and they immediately went to see Zhao Chen.
