The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 450 Zhenjiang Fort (for Subscription)
In the Ming Dynasty, the border between Ming and North Korea was almost defined by the Yalu River.

Jiangbei belongs to Daming.

On the contrary, the south is naturally the border of North Korea.

Zhenjiang Fort is located on the north bank of the estuary in the southwest of the Yalu River.

Standing on the river bank highland, Mo Xiaobai can directly look at the border of North Korea.

Hurrying and finally arriving here, Mo Xiaobai laughed and said, "If the king of Joseon knows that your lord has arrived at Zhenjiang Fort, he will be so excited that he won't be able to sleep."

"Even if the old man doesn't come, he won't sleep well." Song Yingchang glanced across the river, but in his words he was very disdainful towards the Joseon King Li Yan.

This is also a very normal thing. After all, in the Ming Dynasty, although there were not too many internal problems, there was a high degree of unity in the national policy of the ancestors.

No marriage, no land, no compensation, no tribute.

The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the society!
Song Yingchang was born in Daming and grew up in Daming. The king in his mind should be such an image of an iron-headed baby, not the kind of Li Yan who runs away again and again. If not for Daming's disapproval, he would have even escaped the Yalu River. big eater.

But no matter how much he looked down on him, Song Yingchang still had a bit of self-restraint, so he didn't cross the river directly to Yizhou, but maintained the basic etiquette respect of the military officials of the Ming Dynasty and the vassal king.

"The document has already been sent out. When the North Korean envoy crosses the river, you should first meet the North Korean king."

Youyou opened his mouth, and Song Yingchang suddenly looked back for a moment: "The old man has to deal with some other things, hehe, otherwise you may not be a good general."

Mo Xiaobai didn't answer the call, because it wasn't something he could get involved in.

One is the servant of the court and concurrently the minister of economics and strategy, and the other is an old fox who has been running Liaodong for decades. Mo Xiaobai believes that after he goes to Yizhou, there will definitely be a lively scene here.

But Mo Xiaobai didn't respond, Song Yingchang smiled and said: "I'll settle the old ones for you, but you have to handle the young ones yourself. If you can't handle it, don't blame the old man for changing generals."

"Thank you, sir, for your reminder." Mo Xiaobai couldn't avoid it, so he responded in a deep voice.

"Let's go back to the castle to see the situation."

"Here."

Returning to Zhenjiang Fort with Song Yingchang, Mo Xiaobai realized that this is not so much a fortress, but a military fortress that is bigger than the chicken and deer fort built by the big man.

The barracks are only a small part of Zhenjiang Fort.

There are complete armament inventories, testing and development sites, as well as high-quality pastures specially prepared for war horses.

Mo Xiaobai was patrolling the pasture with Song Yingchang. Looking at the sufficient fodder and bean food in the manger, as well as the densely packed herd of horses, it is not difficult to guess that soldiers and horses have arrived here first.

Seemingly seeing Mo Xiaobai's concern, Song Yingchang said with a smile: "These are all war cavalry from the Liaodong Army of my Ming Dynasty, and they should have been brought by Zu Chengxun, the deputy general of the Liaodong Army."

Zu Chengxun?
Hearing this name, Mo Xiaobai couldn't help being taken aback.

Because in his memory, Zu Chengxun should have already attacked a wave at this time, but the result disappointed Daming Chaotang.

Failed!

The whole army was wiped out, and the soldiers under his command died in battle.

Only he himself took advantage of the chaos to escape with a few dozen remnants.

Before leaving the capital, Mo Xiaobai did not see the specific battle report, and thought that the dungeon had changed the vanguard surprise attack, but now it seems that it should have happened, and Zu Chengxun also returned to the north bank of the Yalu River ?
Ok!

It seems that the contact with the Liaodong Army has to start with Zu Chengxun.

He returned to the camp in the fort with Song Yingchang, and as the two of them were managers and admirals, even if the soldiers and horses in charge had not arrived, they still had their own residences.

Bringing Dumb and Ruoshui into his territory, Ruoshui immediately lay down on the bed, as if he was going to be paralyzed.

"Take a good rest, at most two or three days, we have to hurry to Yizhou again." Mo Xiaobai poured a cup of tea by himself, but just after drinking it, he found that the tea was actually cold.

Huh~
Childish dismount!
Shaking his head, Mo Xiaobai drank two sips of herbal tea, and went back to his room to rest.

It wasn't until evening that the messenger came to report that Song Yingchang was hosting a banquet, and Mo Xiaobai packed up his luggage and went to the banquet.

The purpose of Song Yingchang's banquet was actually to let Mo Xiaobai get acquainted with the personnel at Zhenjiang Fort, including Zu Chengxun, the deputy commander of Liaodong, and Tong Yangzheng, the deputy commander of Kuandianbao.

In addition, there are two praise paintings appointed by the Ministry of War for this war.

To put it bluntly, it is the staff of the military division.

There were not many people at the banquet, and Mo Xiaobai was the last one to arrive.However, not everyone was happy with his arrival.

Especially Zu Chengxun, the deputy general of Liaodong, as a Liaodong general who was single-handedly promoted by the Li family, he didn't have any respect for Mo Xiaobai at all. drink wine.

Tong Yangzheng didn't do it as obviously as he did, but he still smiled.

As for the two praises of the painting, Liu Huangshang and Yuan Huang gave Mo Xiaobai a smile, but their eyes were also mostly curious, and they didn't take Mo Xiaobai too seriously.

Perhaps in the eyes of the two of them, how to fight this battle still depends on Song Yingchang.

As for the admiral?

It is nothing more than issuing combat orders according to the assignment of Jinglue Gong.

It feels bad to be underestimated, but fortunately, Mo Xiaobai had expected it before coming, so he wasn't very angry.

Just underestimate it, as long as you can carry out what you want to do step by step according to the plan, why do you need these people's attention?

So Mo Xiaobai drank some wine and ate the mutton with a northern flavor very comfortably.

However, Mo Xiaobai didn't intend to find trouble, but some people were used to being arrogant and indulged, and they really didn't know how to advance or retreat.

After eating well, I suddenly heard someone say: "A long time ago, I received the military order. This time, the emperor sent a white-faced admiral to fight. Hehe, my lord has a good appearance. It really makes me and other rough people envious. Went to the Wangyue Tower, this face can save my sister some money."

Hearing what Zu Chengxun said, no matter how good-tempered Mo Xiaobai was, he couldn't keep silent.

If you don't express it, can you still sit in the position of chief general?
So Mo Xiaobai turned slightly, looked at Liaodong Deputy Commander sitting in the back seat, and said with a smile: "The deputy commander has a bit of self-knowledge. I'm afraid that old face of yours won't please your handsome sister?"

"What did you say?"

Zu Chengxun originally wanted to mock Mo Xiaobai's handsome face, but he didn't expect that the admiral would dare to respond, so he slammed the wine bowl on the desk with a 'bang'.

"Look at it, look at it, you get angry with one word, and you slap the table at every turn, how can this work?"

Mo Xiaobai clicked tut twice, but at the next moment he stood up abruptly, and said coldly: "Vice Chief Zu, you seem to have forgotten one thing. It has been half a day since I entered the castle, but you haven't reported it to Admiral Ben. Tell me about military affairs."

"Let me ask you, how did you lose those two thousand soldiers and horses?"
