Chapter 82 Shen Weijing's Mission to Pyongyang

Each of these courtiers smelled of alcohol, and after being reprimanded by Xiao Ruxun, they all bowed their heads and did not dare to speak. Seeing Li Yan's bewildered look, Liu Chenglong sighed, walked up to Li Yan, knelt down, and said: "Wang Now, I am willing to take people to repair the road and repair the warehouse so that the heavenly army can send troops."

Li Yan grasped this life-saving straw and nodded immediately: "Okay! Okay! Liu Qing is worthy of being the pillar of the country. I will give full power to Liu Qing and the troops and people around Yizhou. Liu Qing can freely mobilize to fill the road and repair the warehouse. , it is best to complete it within one month, and the march of the heavenly soldiers must not be delayed!"

Liu Chenglong sighed, took the order, and then asked a few more capable officials to accompany him to help, and then left depressed.

Liu Chenglong's work is still worth reassuring. After gaining the power to mobilize manpower, Xiao Ruxun wrote a warrant and handed it to the soldiers to take it back to Zhenjiang Fort and hand it over to Wu Weizhong, who asked Wu Weizhong to start transporting food to Uiju, North Korea, and ordered Liu Chenglong to send people on the shore. While responding, Liu Chenglong realized that the number of livestock and vehicles he could use was appallingly low. When his face turned pale and he was about to plead guilty to Xiao Ruxun, Xiao Ruxun just rolled his eyes.

"There are more than a thousand vehicles of various types in Zhenjiang Fort, and they will cross the river with the food. You can send someone to support them!"

Liu Chenglong felt relieved, and his admiration for Xiao Ruxun went up to another level.

How did this general prepare so well in advance?This is a master of logistics. If this is a North Korean, think about it, I won't be so passive...

From September 23rd, Wu Weizhong began to arrange for his soldiers and civilian husbands to ship food, grass and some ordnance to the Koreans on the south bank day and night. Yuan Huang personally watched from the south bank, watching the Korean soldiers and civilian husbands one by one. The grain and ordnance were sent to Yizhou, and carts and ferries went back and forth between Zhenjiang Fort and Yizhou City.

On September 28, news came from Zhenjiang Fort that General Li Rusong arrived with [-] Jurchen cavalry and asked to cross the river to fight. Wu Weizhong asked Xiao Ruxun for his opinion.

Xiao Ruxun sneered.

He also said three thousand, but it turned out that five thousand came as soon as it came. This is not only to fight for credit, but also to demonstrate. Of course, this is to satisfy Xiao Ruxun's idea, let Li Rusong go, Li Rusong will definitely coerce and lure Nurhachi to bring more He knew exactly what Nurhachi's plan was in the letter, so he wanted Li Rusong to restrain Nurhachi and turn the Jurchen cavalry into Ming's combat power, so that he could swallow this Bitter fruit!
Li Rusong's disobedience to the military order is basically true, but Xiao Ruxun still can't make Li Rusong go crazy right now, he must slowly hang Li Rusong's temper, suppress him and prevent him from making trouble, and let Li Rusong do as much as he wants after the war can start. Crazy, anyway, all the dead are Jurchen cavalry, not Ming soldiers.

His main force is all infantry, which suits the mountainous and muddy terrain and terrain conditions of North Korea. Li Rusong's arrangement is 60.00% cavalry and 40.00% infantry. Changed the general.

The Japanese army didn't have many cavalry at all, less than [-] cavalry survived, and they were no match for the [-] Jurchen cavalry. If they really wanted to fight, I believed that Nurhachi could easily eliminate these Japanese cavalry, and Xiao Ruxun planned to entrust Li Rusong and Nurhachi with the task. It is for Li Rusong and Nurhachi to eat up Kato Kiyomasa's second army currently entrenched in the Jizhou area of ​​​​Hamgyong Road.

Xiao Ruxun's first strategic plan is to completely wipe out the First and Second Legions of Pyongan-do and Hamgyong-do, get rid of the troops of Konishi Yukio-chan and Kato Kiyomasa, give the Japanese army a boost, and stabilize the entire northern part of Korea by the way. Avoid being attacked by the enemy after the army advances.

So Xiao Ruxun issued a warrant, ordering Li Rusong and Tong Nuerhachi's troops to station in Zhenjiang Fort to assist in the transportation of grain and grass, and they were not allowed to cross the river without an order.

Under the tandem of Xiao Ruxun and Liu Chenglong, Ming Dynasty and North Korea slowly started the operation of the war, and the war machine was rumbled into operation, but the Japanese side and President Konishi still knew nothing about this matter.

Xiao Ruxun scattered [-] Zhe soldiers to guard against hunting around Yizhou City, and told them that if they found a suspicious person, they should shoot an arrow and don't ask whether they are alive or dead. Of course, it would be best if they could be captured alive. They could also be tortured and come back with some information. Kill, rather kill the wrong than let go!

After a few days, these Zhejiang soldiers hunted and killed 13 suspicious-looking people. After removing the cloth scarves on their heads, they were surprised to find that all [-] of them were Japanese with half of their heads shaved. The evaluation of ability has been lowered to another level. It is decided that irrelevant matters will be discussed at the court meeting in the future, and some necessary fake news will be spread. The really important matters will only be told secretly to Liu Chenglong, and Liu Chenglong will have an audience with Li Yan. Just tell Li Yan.

He wants to establish a secret communication line, so that even if the information is leaked, he can determine who the traitor is in the shortest possible time.

Although it is basically confirmed that there must be a connection between Li Xun and President Xiaonishi, judging from the situation during this period of time, there is still no clue, so we can only continue to be careful and prevent President Xiaonishi from knowing too much. Then pay close attention to Li Xie's every move, to see if he can catch the mastermind behind the scenes.

President Xiaonishi was in an extremely depressed mood.

After Shen Weijing left last time, he waited for fifty days, fidgeting, and was about to send someone to inquire about the news, but the news came——Master Shen is already on his way to Pyongyang, Master Shen If you are old, you will come by sedan chair, and it will be slower, so don't worry.

Only then did President Konishi settle down. After taking Pyongyang, his greatest wish was to start peace talks, secure the land, and stop fighting. The Japanese army’s logistics supply has reached its limit, and if the fight continues, the logistics will collapse. Although the solitary army in Pyongyang still has food to eat, it lacks a lot of ordnance, especially gunpowder and lead bullets. go down.

The arrival of Shen Weijing means that the peace talks can be restarted, as long as the peace talks start, then he is sure.

He had no idea what kind of person Shen Weijing was.

On September 28th, Shen Weijing arrived in Pyongyang City. President Xiaoxi went out to greet him in person, opened the city gates, entertained him graciously, and sent his guards to carry him into the city. His attitude was quite different from the last time he entered the city surrounded by white knives. It's just that there are soldiers parading everywhere, ambushing murderous intentions, Shen Weijing's expression remains unchanged, while talking and laughing with Xiaoxi, he secretly counts the number of soldiers in the city.

This is the first additional task that Xiao Ruxun gave him. He asked him to find out how many Japanese soldiers and horses are in Pyongyang City. He estimated with years of perspective and found that the total number of troops in Pyongyang City is about 4000 to [-]. , which is roughly equivalent to the main force of the first army of President Konishi, very accurate.

In contrast, the North Koreans have fought against President Xiaonishi countless times, and they are still confused about the enemy's strength. They are not as shrewd as Shen Weijing, a big liar.

Shen Weijing's job was to stabilize the Japanese and let them continue to wait. This was not an easy thing to do, but Shen Weijing was such a shrewd person that he could do anything to save his life, and the two sides sat down and started negotiating.
