Chapter 1897 Sword Pointing at Dongying (Circle [-]) "Rescue"

The next conversation between Fujido Gaohu and Gao Yushi was obviously a confidential matter. Even the generals of the Ming army had never heard of it. There were only four family soldiers left in the tent. Two of them were always behind Gao Yushi, and the other two guarded the door. .

Obviously, for a tall and mighty general who had just surrendered, although Gao Yushi basically believed in his sincerity, he had to be on guard.

After all, Gao Ge Lao is not a martial arts practitioner. If Fujido Takahu wants to be Jing Ke, he may not even succeed in "walking around the pillar".

Fortunately, Fujido Gaohu didn't mind, so he stayed and had a good discussion with Gao Wushi, until a report came outside saying that there was an urgent military situation in Hanyang, so Gao Wushi ordered someone to take Fujido Gaohu down to treat him well.

There is indeed an urgent military situation in Hanyang, that is, Zhang Wanbang, who was left by the Ming army to guard Hanyang, fought with the Marshal Quanli of the Korean capital.

Continuing from the previous article, at that time, Quan Li returned to Hanyang from the front under the guise of being angry with his subordinates and wanted to seek a plea from the king of Joseon, Li Yan, and stationed in Luyuanling in the east of the city, asking Zhang Wanbang to open the city to let him go. .

In the end, Zhang Wanbang's statement on this was: "Please lead the discussion and meet with your king, please send Liu Chenglong to Luyuanling to dismiss Quan Li and wait for investigation. As for whether to send troops, it will depend on Liu Chenglong and Quan Li. Li and Li's performance will make the decision."

This passage is not only Zhang Wanbang's statement at the time, but also the basis for the subsequent development of the matter.

At this time, the king of Joseon, Li Yan, naturally could not veto a proposal that Li Shanhai had reached a consensus with the Ming army, and soon issued a king's decree, dismissing Quan Li from his post and awaiting investigation, and asked Liu Chenglong to announce the king's order by name.

Li Shanhai was very satisfied with this, and Liu Chenglong sat on the wax.

go?Is it really necessary to resist the decree and not obey the mutiny? Now the Ming army has [-] troops guarding Hanyang, and all the artillery, rockets and guns are enough. Firepower may be difficult to win with force.

not going?This matter was provoked by Liu Chenglong first. If Quan Li fails, there is no guarantee that he will not be confessed. What should we do then?
After struggling for a while, Liu Chenglong finally decided: I have to go.

There's no way, even if it's just to preserve the reputation, I have to go this trip, otherwise how will I lead the Nanren Party in the future?

Liu Chenglong accepted the decree, and soon took several guards out of the city to Luyuanling to proclaim the decree.When he came out from the north gate, he happened to meet Zhang Wanbang who was arranging fortifications, and the two exchanged pleasantries as if they didn't know the inside story.

Liu Chenglong cupped his hands and said: "There are no Japanese pirates raging around Hanyang, but Zhang Canrong is still so diligent and cautious. He is worthy of being a general of the upper kingdom and loyal to the king. If my North Korean generals are like Zhang Canrong, why did Wang Jing fall twice? Think about it It's embarrassing."

Zhang Wanbang chuckled, bowed his hands and returned the salute: "Mr. Xiya's words are overrated. If nothing else, don't you want to meet Marshal Quan Li in Luyuanling now? In my opinion, he is also very diligent and cautious. .

You see, didn't he see that the army's morale was not in harmony, and he would rather not follow the military order and return to Hanyang to seek justice?This is really all about thinking about the soldiers under his command. Although he didn't go far, he must insist on "I will not accept the order of the king outside"... Haha!You say so, Mr. West Cliff? "

Anyone can hear the sarcasm in Zhang Wanbang's words, let alone Liu Chenglong?But Liu Chenglong could neither agree with Zhang Wanbang nor refute it at this time.

Going along with Zhang Wanbang is like defining Quan Li's behavior this time. Although Liu Chenglong's characterization itself is not conclusive, it will definitely become the target of political opponents, so it cannot be echoed.

It doesn't work to refute, regardless of whether Zhang Wanbang's words are mocking or not, at least literally everything he said just now is the truth.If you refute at such a time, you will appear annoyed and have the suspicion of making unreasonable words, which is too disrespectful.

Therefore, Liu Chenglong just smiled slightly and said: "Judging from Marshal Capital's previous words and deeds, this matter seems quite strange. Although the king has ordered the king to read it out, the truth of the matter depends on the follow-up investigation.

Oh, by the way, Zhang Canrong, as far as I know, the generals of the Shang Kingdom are often dismissed for some reason, and there are many misunderstandings, and there are even those who have been framed.This is the case in Shangguo, how about North Korea? "

Liu Chenglong's answer shows the advantage of being a civil servant, especially the last sentence "Shangguo is like this, let alone North Korea", Zhang Wanbang can't deny it, and he has to express his understanding, otherwise "Shangguo" will lose face Damaged?
"That's true." Zhang Wanbang really pinched his nose and said this sentence, and then he didn't intend to compete with Liu Chenglong who was better at speaking, and cupped his hands and said: "Since Mr. Xiya thinks that there is something hidden in this, then I will let you know." Don't delay Mr. Xiya's business, sir, go slowly."

Liu Chenglong saw that Zhang Wanbang was speechless when he said a few words, so he couldn't help feeling proud, and he also raised his hand in return, saying: "Thank you for letting me go."

Zhang Wanbang frowned slightly, knowing that Liu Chenglong's words were actually ironic: I am a minister of the Joseon King, and I come from my family, Wang Jing, and I want to thank you, a Ming army general, for letting me go. Are you Ming army too overbearing? ah?

But Zhang Wanbang stopped being angry after thinking about it. Instead, he said with a smile: "Mr. Xiya is too polite, I am just following orders. You also know that if you want to say that the Holy One is the supreme person in the world, and you can say what you say, then we Hou I reckon it must be a word of words. As long as Hou Ye’s words do not conflict with the emperor’s, who would dare to disobey me?"

Aren't you used to using your tongue?I don't compare this with you, I compare the army!In front of the "Millions of Heavenly Soldiers", no matter what you say, it is useless.

Sure enough, it was Liu Chenglong's turn to be speechless this time, and finally he forced a smile, turned around and left.

"Chan Rong, this old boy surnamed Liu looks like a dog, why does he make people so angry when he speaks?" Ding, a close confidant of Zhang Wanbang, said: "Why did the king of Joseon choose such a person to pass the order? Suspicion...he might still be accomplices with that Quan Li!"

Zhang Wanbang glanced at the servant who was speaking in surprise, seeing that he didn't look like he had eavesdropped on his conversation with Li Shanhai, and then said: "You have a good nose, I also think they are a team of."

That family member didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Wanbang saying "dog's nose", but said with a smile: "It's all taught well by participating in the army, saying... that... oh, teaching by precept and example, teaching by precept and deed."

"Fuck your grandma, when did I teach you this?" Zhang Wanbang said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, I always feel that those bomb holes are not well filled, you can find some people to check and check. Damn, Do you still remember what Hou Ye said when he taught you how to organize the housework? Details determine success or failure! Go, go, hurry up."

Zhang Wanbang continued to rectify the city defense and did not mention it for the time being, but said that Liu Chenglong went straight to Luyuanling after leaving the city.His face was gloomy along the way, and the servants around him dared not speak lightly, but this Luyuan Ridge seemed not far away, but it took more than an hour to reach the foot of the mountain when he really walked.

Fortunately, Quan Li's camp was not on the mountain, which saved Liu Chenglong the pain of climbing up.

Many people in the army knew Liu Chenglong, so he went directly into the barracks without much delay.At this time, Quan Li also got the news and came out to greet him.

"Seeing that brother came to Luyuanling at this time, the imperial court must have made a statement?" Quan Li clasped his hands.

"Well... this is not a place to talk, let's go in and talk about it." Naturally, Liu Chenglong couldn't say in front of the surrounding generals and soldiers that the king had given up the position of Marshal of Quan Li's capital, so he avoided talking about it.

Seeing Liu Chenglong's appearance, Quan Li knew that the situation might not be too good, so he ordered his subordinates not to get close to him first, and then invited Liu Chenglong into the tent, and the two sat down as guest and host.

Liu Chenglong pondered and didn't speak immediately, but Quan Li became a little irritable for no reason, and said: "What happened, you might as well speak up when you see brother."

Liu Chenglong silently handed Wang Lingjiaowen to Quan Li, and said simply: "Your Majesty wants to dismiss Brother Yanshen pending investigation."

Quan Li's eyelids twitched slightly, but he didn't show much panic, on the contrary, even the previous irritability disappeared.He took Wang Ling calmly, looked at it quickly, then sneered, and said, "I was dismissed and awaiting investigation, but the king didn't send anyone to take over? Why, could it be that the person who took over was actually here to see you?"

Liu Chenglong let out a foul breath, and said: "The reason why this matter happened, I think brother Yanshen's wisdom doesn't need Jackie Chan to explain."

"Li Shanhai did it on purpose, didn't he?" Quan Li snorted, and said, "This [-] army is the last elite of the imperial court, but it has been in the hands of the Nanren Party for several years. If someone else leads the army, it must be It's very difficult to manipulate... Ha, let alone maneuvering, I don't think it's hard to say whether they can be suppressed from mutiny on the spot."

Liu Chenglong didn't refute or deny it.Quan Li glanced at him, and said again: "Things have developed to this point, in fact, it is not beyond your and my expectations, is it?"

"Of course." Liu Chenglong admitted calmly, then sighed, and said: "Now that Wang Jing is in the hands of the Ming army, no matter what the king thinks in his heart, he must not disobey the Ming army's intentions."

"That's why you saw my brother and I like this." Quan Li waved his hand: "What did Zhang Wanbang say? He still refuses to let our army enter the city?"

"This man speaks about the Marquis's military order, but keeps his mouth shut about millions of heavenly soldiers. He is extremely arrogant and domineering. How can he do what you and I want?" Liu Chenglong sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "I made a mistake in this matter. I thought he only had 6000 soldiers. , and the guest army is away, and they definitely dare not meet my imperial court army in battle, who knows... the Ming army is really domineering."

Quan Li didn't want to talk about the dominance of the Ming army, the reason for this is obvious.If North Korea hadn't been rescued by the Ming army, the country would have perished by now.In the eyes of the Ming army themselves, they are not only the heavenly soldiers of the upper kingdom, but also the heroes for the survival of North Korea, and their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of all North Korean armies.
Quan Li shook his head and said, "It's meaningless to say these things now, I just want to know what to do now?"

"Just about to discuss with brother Yanshen." Liu Chenglong looked extremely serious, staring into Quan Li's eyes and said: "Brother Yanshen, can you be sure to rescue the king before the Ming army returns to Hanyang?"

The phrase "rescue the king" is very spiritual. He didn't mention that the Korean army's move was suspected of treason, and he didn't mention such things as breaking Hanyang. It was obviously for a righteous name-help!
If it's about saving your life, then whatever you do is right, even if it's a battle with the Ming army, which has been benevolent to North Korea, there is always a reason to find.

But Quan Li was a bit difficult to answer his question.If the ordinary [-] Korean army and the [-] Ming army are stronger or weaker, Quan Li can say responsibly that it must be the Ming army.

However, if it is the 3 people he has on hand, then he feels that it cannot be generalized. There are three main reasons:
First, the 3 people are a new army formed by North Korea after the last peace talks. Half of them were selected from the remaining North Korean official troops, and the other half were recruited from various rebel armies. selected from.Regardless of whether they come from the official army or the rebel army, what they have in common is that they have "experienced in battle"-the new army is true, but they are all veterans.

Second, these 3 people are the elite directly controlled by Marshal Quan Li, and to a large extent, they are also the authority of the Korean court, so the equipment is superior.

The weapons and armor that the Ming army in Jiliao cleared their stocks and gave to North Korea, although the Ming army no longer looks down on them, they are quite sophisticated for North Korea.Although the quality of some of these equipment is worrying, but the Ming army can't afford much, and it is still no problem to produce a [-] well-equipped North Korean official army under the best of the best.

But the trouble here is that "elite" is relative after all.The equipment level of these 3 people is naturally unrivaled in North Korea, but it is obviously inferior to the Ming army, but the real trouble is that Quan Li doesn't know how much the gap is.

Third, these 3 people, as one of the core competitiveness of the Southern People's Party, have obtained sufficient supply during the critical period of Liu Chenglong's tenure as the leader of the government. It's the public's Central Army, maybe it's still at the level of the five main forces.

Those who serve in the army these days don't look at other things, whether they serve their lives or serve, or simply don't work hard, the main thing is to see how much money they have in hand.These 3 people, as the de facto North Korean version of the "Imperial Guards", were paid far more than the rest of their colleagues, and of course they were more willing to serve the court—or, in other words, the Southern People's Party.

What Quan Li faces now is five times the strength of the Ming army, "slightly weaker" than the Ming army's equipment level, and the treatment that should not be worse than the Ming army.Whether or not Hanyang can be taken down depends on him to judge.

"Brother see, the so-called Ming army returned to Hanyang...how long do you think it will take them?" Quan Li was still cautious and did not answer right away.

Liu Chenglong said: "From my perspective, the actions of the Ming army should be to annihilate the Japanese pirates and seize Busan in one fell swoop. What they want is the great achievement of fully recovering North Korea. Therefore, it is hard to say whether they will quickly return to the army because of the change in Hanyang."

Quan Li said: "Busan Japanese pirates have been in business for a long time, I don't think it will be easy to get rid of them."

"Then the Ming army will definitely not be able to return to the division for at least a month. If the battle goes wrong, it would not be surprising even for three months." Liu Chenglong nodded.

Quan Li hit the armrest with a fist, gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, then we'll force Hanyang to rescue him!"
