Chapter 535: Go for Broke
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yin Boming was walking his bird in the yard. Read М
Seeing Huang Zhen so embarrassed and saying such shocking words, he was immediately furious.
Huang Zhen did not dare to raise his head. He was able to serve as the defender of Nampo City because of this left minister.
He said sadly: "Left Minister, it is absolutely true, they are the Black Shark Pirates!"
"Black Shark Pirates!" Yin Boming's bird cage suddenly fell to the ground.
As the Left Minister of Goryeo, the two most powerful people under the King of Goryeo and the Right Minister, he naturally knew that Goryeo cooperated with Beidi to try to encircle and suppress the Black Shark Pirates.
When the Goryeo navy was completely wiped out, the news reached the palace, and people were immediately panicked.
Many officials complained that they should not have participated in this matter and brought trouble upon themselves.
Although Beidi was sure that the Black Shark Pirates were under the command of King Yan of Dasong.
But they could not produce any evidence.
If the Black Shark pirates were just a group of pirates, they would certainly take revenge on Goryeo.
Moreover, even if they were under the command of the King of Yan, they should not be easily provoked.
The advantage on land should be used to attack the King of Yan, not on the sea.
"Li Wancheng, you did a good job!" Yin Boming shook his sleeves fiercely.
The matter of wiping out the Black Shark pirates was promoted by Li Wancheng.
Although he did not dare to object due to the power of Beidi, he was always worried in his heart.
Now, this worry has become a reality.
The most important thing is that in Goryeo, the officials of Li Wancheng's faction are mainly in the north close to Beidi.
The officials on his side are mainly concentrated in the south of Rangcheng.
This time the Black Shark pirates attacked Nampo, which meant that his interests suffered great losses, so he was naturally anxious.
"Follow me into the palace to see the king." Yin Boming immediately asked people to prepare a sedan chair and went to the palace overnight.
Entering the palace.
Yin Boming saw Goryeo King Park Jeong-seok who had just bathed and was preparing to go to bed.
As if he was disturbed, Park Jung-suk was a little impatient, "Why did the Left State Councillor come so late?"
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Nampo City has been captured by the Black Shark Pirates. More than 5,000 Goryeo warriors have been killed. I'm afraid that Nampo City will be robbed clean." Yin Boming leaned over and burst into tears.
The Goryeo King was thinking about getting close to the concubine who had just entered the palace. Hearing this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"The Black Shark Pirates are coming!" The Goryeo King was shocked.
"That's right, Your Majesty, I saw the flag of the Black Shark Pirates and it must be correct. There are also the rumored artillery on their warships." Huang Zhen knelt behind Yin Boming and explained hurriedly.
The Goryeo King wiped the cold sweat from his head. He learned that the Goryeo Navy was annihilated and the Wufeng Island Pirates were defeated by the Black Shark Pirates. He has been worried about this happening.
How could the Black Shark Pirates let Goryeo go?
"Your Majesty, what should I do?" Yin Boming shouted again.
Frowning and rolling his eyes, the King of Goryeo suddenly calmed down as he thought of something.
On the sea, they could not do anything to the Black Shark pirates, and on land, what was there to be afraid of them.
They were once vassals of the Northern Di.
Thinking of this, he said, "This disaster was brought by the Northern Di. Ask for help from the Northern Di immediately and ask them to send troops to help encircle and suppress the Black Shark pirates."
After a pause, he continued, "Order, concentrate our Goryeo army and march towards Nampo City!"
"My king, I'm afraid that this will not be able to annihilate the Black Shark pirates!" Yin Boming suddenly said.
"Well? What does the Left Councillor want to say?" The King of Goryeo asked.
Just now, he was indeed startled, but thinking of the support of the Northern Di, he was no longer afraid.
"Your Majesty, they are pirates. If they were on land, we would not be afraid even if the King of Yan led the army here." Yin Boming said, "But now the sea borders of Goryeo are undefended against them. They can come and go as they please, and can launch attacks anywhere in Goryeo."
The King of Goryeo frowned again.
This is indeed a trouble.
Goryeo's territory is very small, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and it only takes more than a day to walk from south to north.
As Yin Boming said, the Black Shark pirates can launch attacks anywhere, and they have no time to react.
"Your Majesty, their firearms are terrible, there are sticks that spit fire, and things that can explode in the sky. Although I fight bravely, I still can't resist them." Huang Zhen added.
As the three were talking, suddenly an eunuch reported that the generals who escaped from Nampo City wanted to see him.
The King of Goryeo immediately summoned the generals in.
Not long after, a general who was more embarrassed than Huang Zhen came hurriedly.
Huang Zhen recognized this as his deputy general and immediately asked, "How is Nanpu City?"
"Nanpu City has been occupied. The Black Shark pirates threatened that unless Goryeo opens a trading port to them and compensates for the losses caused by the Goryeo navy, they will continue to rob them." The deputy general said sadly.
He was captured by the Black Shark pirates, and he was released just to pass on these words.
"Damn, who do they think they are!" The King of Goryeo stood up.
A group of pirates actually threatened him, the King of Goryeo.
"No matter what, I don't believe that we Goryeo and Beidi can't deal with a group of pirates. Immediately ask Beidi for help and wipe out these Black Shark pirates." The King of Goryeo shouted.
Yin Boming opened his mouth to say something, but finally decided not to say it.
In his heart, he naturally didn't want the Black Shark pirates to continue to run rampant in the south.
However, it would be too weak for Goryeo to compromise with the Black Shark pirates just because they occupied Nanpu City.
It must be a fight with the Black Shark pirates.
Thinking of this, he said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
The three of them left.
Not long after, a team of cavalry set out from the palace and headed for Ningjindusi.
Two days later, they arrived at Jincheng.
"Did the Black Shark pirates capture Nanpu City?" Mule Hongzhen and Ulanba looked at each other.
Then he waved his hand and let the Goryeo cavalry go out first.
"Father Khan, Goryeo lacks cavalry. They hope that we will send cavalry to support them. After all, the Black Shark pirates come and go on the sea like the wind." Ulanba said.
Mule Hongzhen nodded, "Goryeo is our vassal. They asked for help, and we have to help. However, the most important thing at the moment is the King of Yan. It is not appropriate to disperse the troops. Just give them 30,000 cavalry."
"Yes, father Khan." Ulanba replied yes.
But his brows did not relax.
Ningjindusi has tasted the attack tactics of the Black Shark pirates.
He knew very well that even sending 100,000 cavalry into Goryeo would not help.
Warships on the ocean are more flexible than cavalry, and they cannot disperse the cavalry to every city.
These 30,000 people were just a consolation for Goryeo.
"Black Shark pirates!" Ulanba said again, and he was furious.
They seemed so powerless in front of this group of pirates.
Then, he called the Goryeo cavalry in and said, "Go back and tell the Goryeo king that he must not agree to the conditions of the Black Shark pirates. This must be a trick of the King of Yan."
The cavalry responded and turned away.
At this time, Mule Hongzhen seemed to remember something and said to Tiemu Ta beside him, "Has the Black Iron Guard gone to Wuguan?"
"Let's go, Father Khan. They will enter Yanzhou as merchants to spy on intelligence." Tiemu Ta said.
Mule Hongzhen nodded, "Remember to send back the intelligence of Yanzhou at all times. Once the plague spreads in Yanzhou, we will attack Yanguan."
This time, he has made a desperate bet on poisoning.
He has prepared two death-defying king tents.
These two king tents will risk being infected with the plague and attack Yanguan first.
After taking Yanguan, the two king tents will stay in Yanguan for half a month.
Only those who survive smallpox can return to the grassland.
