Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1106

Liaoning is adjacent to North Korea. When it was still called Liao Town, the two sides had a lot of exchanges, and they knew each other's situation very well. If they want to inquire about news in North Korea, the Li family also has various methods, not to mention the current situation. Many North Koreans took the initiative to send intelligence messages to the past.

The letter from Liaoyang clearly explained the situation in North Korea, as if there were people there too.

Li Rusong also understood very well in his heart that this was going up and down, not to mention his two younger brothers, I am afraid that many of the cavalry he brought from Xuanfu would inform Liaoyang.

The letter stated that although there are Japanese pirates stationed from Pyongyang to Seoul during this period, they are mainly infantry, and they are all entrenched around the city. Such garrisons are actually dead soldiers, and there is no way to do it. Come out to stop the harassment, if the Ming army in Pyongyang organizes an elite cavalry to go south quickly and go straight to Seoul, there will definitely be great results. If you cooperate with the North Korean "righteous men" in Seoul, it is possible to seize the city in one fell swoop.

Compared to the important town of Pyongyang, being able to take down the capital of North Korea, Seoul, is a dazzling feat. Even if someone in the DPRK suppresses the Li family, there is no way to cover up such a great feat.

". Is such an idea too wishful thinking?"

Li Rusong just said with a wry smile, the cavalry charged forward all the way, and when they reached Seoul, the Japanese army would have about [-] people, how could it be so easy to rush into Seoul and seize the city.

What is written in the letter is too much subjective judgment, and the battlefield is full of changes. It is not what one wants, and the other party will cooperate accordingly.

When he heard "Master will lead the troops here in person", Li Rusong's wry smile was undisguised, and he turned to Li Rubai and said:

"Why is my father so crazy?"

It was very rude to ask this question, but Li Rusong didn't care, and he wasn't afraid that the sender would go back and report the letter. We were all members of our own family, and we knew many things well.

"Brother, I don't know if you are not in Liaoxi. Father always cries when he is alone, saying that he has delayed the good situation of the Li family, and blames himself very much."

As a son who was raised at home, Li Rubai's expression was not good at this moment, he lowered his head and said there, Li Rusong sighed, but said to the sender:

"Li Biao, your brother is still the head of the Xuanfu, right?"

Inexplicably, Li Rusong actually asked this question, and the servant kneeling on the ground quickly agreed:
"Thanks to the reward and promotion of the young master, he was given this background."

Li Rusong nodded and said solemnly:
"Go back and tell the master that you are going to prepare here and lead your troops to attack Seoul immediately, do you understand?"

Speaking of which, there is still something I don’t understand. Left and right are a family matter. Li Biao’s hesitation was only for a moment, and he kowtowed again immediately, and said respectfully:

"Little one understands, here I also wish Eldest Young Master a successful start!"

Li Rusong nodded with a satisfied smile, and said:
"Your younger brother Li Gou'er is very diligent in his work. He is qualified to arrange to be a garrison in a local area, or to be promoted to be the general manager."

"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master, the little one understands, the little one understands!"

Li Biao couldn't stop kowtowing, and everyone in the room seemed to be relieved. The old man was already stunned, but the coach here was Li Rusong after all, and everyone knew that Li Rusong didn't want to attack. The eldest son can't stop arguing, but it's really difficult for others. With such a smooth solution, everyone doesn't have to worry about it.

*************
Spring is often the most difficult time of the year for farmers. Spring planting has not yet begun, and winter reserves have been exhausted.

For the Japanese soldiers and horses on the Korean peninsula, the second half of the first month will be very difficult for them. Li Rusong once said that with the current supply of food and grass, it may take them thirty miles away from Pyongyang City. Food shortages, the situation is similar for the Japanese pirate army.

Hwanghae Road to the south of Pyongan Road and Hamgyong Road belongs to the node of "thirty miles out of the city". Because of the excessive looting and burning in the early stage, the amount of military rations raised on Ping'an Road and Hwanghae Road has been unable to keep up. Food supplies further south are needed.

Therefore, after the first army's Konishi-going commander retreated to Hwanghae-do, Hwanghae-do's military ration logistics became very difficult. The distance from Gyeonggi-do to Hwanghae-do was a troublesome distance, not to mention the addition of Konishi-going commander. Now the First Legion doesn't even have local financing, and it relies entirely on the supply from behind.

Under such pressure, several generals of the Japanese pirates in Seoul Daying, Gyeonggi-do decided to withdraw most of the soldiers and horses of the First Army and the Third Army to Gyeonggi-do and Gangwon-do, so that the food logistics supply can be slowed down. There are a lot of people coming here. Although there are several large cities in North Korea on the Hwanghae Road, the terrain of the Hwanghae Road itself is relatively narrow, and there is too little room for the army to maneuver in it. It is easier to withdraw.

Speaking of it, Hamgyong Road, which is further north than Ping'an Road, has more than [-] troops of the Second Army Kato Kiyomasa stationed there, and the demand for logistics and food transportation is much less.

There is also a reason for this, because Kato Kiyomasa has always marched quickly, and the combat power of his subordinates is better than other legions. This person also has the title of "Tiger Kato". By then, they had already reached the border area of ​​Daming.

Because the march was too fast, there was not much time for burning, killing, looting and destruction. The situation in Hamgyong Road was probably maintained. It accounts for a large proportion, which is much better than the situation with President Xiaonishi.

The reason why President Xiaoxi retreated so decisively was actually largely related to the lack of military rations. Of course, although the backbone of the First Legion was still there, it was almost a third lost, and it had already mobilized its vitality. Had to return.

In addition to the reason for the military rations, the relatively weak Third Army Kuroda Changzhengbu was also amazed at the combat power of the Ming army. The total number of Japanese troops in Huanghai Road was nearly [-], and the area of ​​Hamgyong Road was too large. Kato Kiyomasa’s Second Army might not In time for rescue, that is to say, the Ping'an Daoming army directly opposite Huanghai Road has an advantage over the Japanese army in numbers, and they must retreat in order to be safe.

Takakage Kobayakawa of the Sixth Army has already arrived in Gyeonggi-do. As the general, Ukita Hideka is not very good. He needs someone like Takakage Kobayakawa to preside over it. There are still many riots and teams organized by North Korean landlords and monks in Gyeonggi-do , Threatening the road to transport food to the north, withdrawing the two legions, and clearing Gyeonggi-do, this is also one of the goals, and it is also Kobayakawa's judgment.

Since the early 20th year of Wanli, the Japanese army landed in Busan and went northward like a broken bamboo. North Korea did not even have a resistance. There is a feeling that the Japanese army is invincible, and North Korea can only accept its fate in such a situation.

But suddenly, the Japanese pirates encountered failure in Ping'an Road, and then retreated all the way, retreating from Ping'an Road and Huanghai Road to Gyeonggi-do.

Pyongyang City University beheaded [-] troops tomorrow. The news spread quickly. The retreat of the Japanese First Corps and the Third Corps proved this point from another angle. Every North Korean is spreading it wildly. There have been rumors further south. The Japanese pirates' First Army and Third Army were wiped out by the Great Ming soldiers.

Hamgyong-do, Gangwon-do, Gyeonggi-do, and Hwanghae-do suddenly became chaotic, and the riots and attacks on cities by Koreans all over the place increased several times at once, but it didn't have the slightest effect. The army of Japanese pirates had long been prepared , Attack calmly, attack and kill one by one.

But all this is a process. The Japanese pirates retreated one by one, riots and chaos continued to erupt in North Korea, news spread everywhere, and there were many unreliable things everywhere.

Because it was not a retreat, the Japanese pirates blocked the borders everywhere effectively, and the news spread, they were often heard, and then added their own emotions, which became more and more outrageous.

The North Korean officials in Pyongyang were also very excited. The news they got from the so-called insiders was that the Japanese pirates were in a state of disarray, and there were no defenders in Seoul. .

Seoul is the capital of North Korea. Restoring Seoul is a great achievement. Even if he didn't bring it down by himself, it may be a great achievement to lead the Ming army into the city. When the whole of North Korea is restored, what kind of promotion benefits will he get? It's self-explanatory, not to mention that Seoul's reserves and hoards far exceed those in Pyongyang, and being able to go ahead and make a fortune is much greater than the oil and water here.

The two leaders, Li Ai and Jin Yingrui, went to Li Rusong to speak, saying that the Japanese pirates retreated at this time, and it was time for the army to take advantage of the victory to pursue it. At that time, the general will make great achievements. true and false.

But at this time, the trouble is that the horses are often not able to penetrate too much, and the ninjas and cavalry of the Japanese pirates have also begun to cover the battlefield. The military newspapers in the south of Ping'an Road and even in the south of Datong River mostly rely on rumors.

The information is not clear, so of course we can't rush to send troops. Li Rusong is very steady. He sent out the North Korean civil and military officials several times. People are also very anxious, don't they think this is just putting aside the great credit and not taking it?
After going back and forth, everyone finally found the key to the problem. Since Li Rusong can't be said, they can go to Li Chengliang
At the end of the first month of the 21st year of Wanli, the army led by Wang Tong was about to reach Yizhou.——
