please make me king

When Zhang Shun's order was passed to North Korea, Li Dingguo was training in Tieshan.

There are many escapees from Liaodong gathered here, and they also have certain military skills, which can be regarded as a good source of soldiers.

Therefore, Li Dingguo quickly selected and trained more than 1000 people to train a battalion of recruits together with the elite North Korean cavalry and musketeers.

Although they are all recruits in name, they are actually veterans. Li Dingguo only needs to unify military orders and adjust tactics.

The cavalry of the Korean country is already elite and does not need too much training. His main energy is still on the infantry.

Including the advance and retreat of hand-to-hand arms, the loading and shooting of musketeers, the change of formation, and so on.

It took more than a month of hard work and proficiency in the drills, and it was worthy of training a battalion of troops.

As soon as Li Dingguo received Zhang Shun's order, he immediately informed the North Korean king Li Ji and Dongjiang general Shen Shikui.

After Shen Shikui got the news, he knew that the matter was no small matter.

He only left his nephew Shen Zhixiang and [-] soldiers and horses in Dongjiang, and led [-] elite soldiers to cross the river to Tieshan to meet Li Dingguo.

"General!" When Shen Shikui saw Li Dingguo, he couldn't wait to say, "I don't know when we will go to war?"

"The old man has been frustrated for a long time, this battle must be the first!"

Unexpectedly, Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "No hurry, no hurry!"

Li Dingguo was not in a hurry, but Shen Shikui was in a hurry: "As the saying goes: Bing is more expensive than speed. There are many spies from the eastern captives hidden in this Tieshan area."

"If the general hesitates for a long time and leaks the news, this battle will be difficult to fight!"

"Uh, it's mainly because of the lack of food and grass!" Li Dingguo hesitated for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth.

"Ah?" Shen Shikui was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Sure enough, there is nothing to talk about, and the battle is about to start, but you told me that there is no food, what are you kidding?
"Hey, don't mention this matter!" Li Dingguo couldn't help but annoyed, "According to His Highness's order, this food should have been provided by North Korea."

"As a result, the king of North Korea, Lee Tan, first lied to me with false words, and now he tells me that he can't raise money. How can we fight this battle?"

It turns out that North Korea is not as wealthy as China, and has been repeatedly blackmailed by Houjin, and its own life is quite tight.

So he thought about it, and prepared to follow the example of Wanli's aid to the dynasty and rely on the logistics of the rebel army.

"This matter is fine, just leave it to me, and he will take care of it and obediently offer the food and grass!" Unexpectedly, Shen Shikui couldn't help sneering when he heard this.

"Oh? What can you do?" Li Dingguo couldn't help being very surprised when he heard this.

"Let me lead three thousand soldiers to enter Seoul and take the bird position, and of course everything will be there!" Shen Shikui couldn't help sneering.

"Ah?" Li Dingguo was taken aback when he heard the words, then laughed immediately, and sent a letter to Seoul, the capital of North Korea.

"What, Shen Shikui is going to rebel?" Li Yan, who was complacent, suddenly got the news, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

To be honest, Dongjiang Town is entrenched in the Dongjiang area, not only occupying the land of North Korea, but also attracting "Hu people" to attack, which has always been regarded as a disaster by North Korea.

And Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others who were born in Dongjiang before launched the Denglai Rebellion, which confirmed the view of North Korea.

Therefore, whenever there is a riot in Dongjiang Town, regardless of whether it is true or not, the monarch and ministers of North Korea will first believe it.

"Yes, it is said that Shen Shikui, the general soldier of the Dongjiang River, heard that there was not enough food and grass, so he instigated the soldiers to riot, claiming to break into Seoul to ask for food!" The left and right quickly reported.

"Rebellious officials and thieves, rebellious officials and thieves, can you turn against him??" Li Zhen's face flushed with anger, and he couldn't help yelling.

"Hurry up, write a letter to Li Dingguo and ask him to put down the rebellion immediately! Otherwise, this king will go to the capital to sue!"

"Li Dingguo also wrote a letter, saying that there was not enough food and grass, and he was helpless. A lot of soldiers kept clamoring, and if one was not careful, it would cause the Denglai Rebellion." Left and right quickly reported.

"He's threatening me, Smecta!" Li Zhen immediately understood what was going on when he heard this, and he couldn't help but get angry.

"Then what should we do?" Everyone couldn't help but look at King Li Zhen.

"I ordered the three armies to prepare for war. This king still doesn't believe me. What can he do to me!" Li Yu couldn't help but angrily said.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" At this moment, "Chao Angel" Jin Yu hastily winked at him.

"Jin Aiqing has something to say, what are you doing now!" Li Zhen was so angry that he didn't want to talk to him at all.

"Uh, if the soldiers from the Dongjiang River arrived in an instant by water," Jin Yu said weakly.

"Uh..." The North Korean monarch and ministers, who were still excited, were suddenly dumbfounded.

It was only then that everyone remembered that the "Shangguo" arrived in Seoul by sea to visit a few days ago.

If Shen Shikui did the same, I am afraid that it would be impossible for North Korea to hide in Ganghwa Island.

"Forget it, forget it, give it to him, give it to him, it's time to send a beggar!" Li Zhen's face was red and white, and the weather was uncertain for a long time, so he could only comfort himself.

Following Li Jing's order, the North Korean country provided another four to five thousand shi of grain and grass, which was escorted to Tieshan by the "Chao Angel" Jin Yu for military use.

After Li Dingguo received the food and grass, he crossed the Yalu River and attacked Zhenjiang Fort with Shen Shikui, the general soldier of the Dongjiang River, as the vanguard, backed by the newly organized Korean battalion and the standard battalion of the headquarters.

The guard of Zhenjiang Fort surrendered without a fight, and the rebel army attacked Xianshan Fort and Tangzhan Fort again, and Xianshan and Tangzhan Forts also surrendered, and the rebel army went to Phoenix City.

Fenghuang City is 350 miles away from Liaoyang. It is close to Fenghuang Mountain.

According to legend, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty stayed here when he conquered Korea. There is Xueli Station nearby, which is said to be the place where Xue Rengui, a general of the Tang Dynasty, stationed troops.

During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, this city was built, and Liao Youwei was set here to prevent Jurchen from cutting off the way of paying tribute to North Korea.

Let's say that Li Dingguo, Shen Shikui, and North Korean "North Korea Angel" Jin Yu and others broke through three forts in a row, and finally arrived outside Phoenix City.

When everyone looked up, they saw that the city was inlaid on the towering Phoenix Mountain, which made people feel fearful.

"This... this is not easy to fight!" Shen Shikui and Jin Yu could not help but look at each other.

This mountain city has a relatively high terrain and is made of stone masonry. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a precipitous fortress.

Although there are many soldiers and horses in the rebel army, they can't deploy them all. I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture them for a while.

"The Art of War says: Attacking the heart is the top priority, and attacking the city is the bottom." Li Dingguo frowned and said, "Now that the Eastern Captives are about to fall, maybe they can be persuaded!"

Li Dingguo's plan had been decided, so he chose one of the Jurchen's surrenders and went into the city to persuade them to surrender.

Who would have thought that not long after the soldier entered Phoenix City, he was escorted to the top of the city and killed with a knife.

Then the general in the city shouted: "There are generals who cut their heads, but there are no generals who surrender!"

"Who is this?" Li Dingguo frowned and asked involuntarily.

Seeing that the rebel army has arrived, it is really stupid to dare to resist stubbornly.

"This person is Wang Yuanzhong!" Unexpectedly, Shen Shikui really knew him.

"After Mao Shuai's surprise attack on Zhenjiang in the past, most of them followed Dongjiang. Only this person returned to Phoenix City, loyal to Donglu, and captured and killed my collaborators many times!"

"Oh? So that's the case!" Li Dingguo couldn't help being furious when he heard the words, "Is this the so-called 'Haner speaks nonsense, but scolds Han people at the city'?"

"He thinks I can't do anything with him if he stays in the city, doesn't he? That really underestimates the heroes of the world!"
