Blood from Daming

Chapter 430 Li Gui
When the Zhenghuang Banner soldiers who captured Azig surrounded North Korea’s Yizhou, Zhang Wanyou, the Marshal of the Ningbian Metropolitan Guard, ordered Li Gui, the deputy commander, to command 47 troops to rescue Yizhou. During the war, the North Korean Marshal Jiang Hongli commanded more than [-] troops. After the defeat, Jin surrendered. The whole court feared Jin. Li Gui's troops, Marshal of the Guard's Marshal and Deputy Marshal Li Gui, had already spread a serious atmosphere of defeatism before they set off for the expedition.

Li Gui, the deputy commander, drove the team out of the Ningbian Metropolitan Guard's Mansion. After two days of walking, the team was just halfway to Uiju Mansion. The North Korean army's forward 1000 soldiers were beaten by Niu Lu, who was patrolling three guards in Zhenghuang Banner. In the charge, the North Korean army's forward [-] soldiers and horses came down, the vanguard officer was killed, and the soldiers were estimated to have been killed by more than a thousand people. In the end, Li Gui collected more than [-] remnants of the soldiers, and the other soldiers must have slipped away as deserters.

At this moment, Li Gui also vented his courage, so he had no choice but to stick to the danger and prevent the Jianlu Eight Banners from entering the hinterland of North Korea. At the same time, he asked for help from Marshal Zhang Wan of the Metropolitan Guard of Ningbian. He didn't know how to form troops to fight, and when he received the report from the deputy commander Li Gui asking for help, he panicked for a while, while strictly ordering Li Gui to guard against death, he asked the king Li Gui for help.

Li Gui stayed between Yizhou Mansion and Ningbian Metropolitan Protectorate for more than half a month before he got the order from King Li Zhen, ordering him to garrison on the spot, waiting for the arrival of the Ming army, and then attacking from east to west, under the city of Yizhou Gather and annihilate the Eight Banners.

Li Gui thought that this was the sleep talk of the great king Li Ji, but it seemed that Li Gui had good luck. In the next two months or so, it seemed that the Jianlu Eight Banners had forgotten the North Korean soldiers who were not too far from Yizhou City. So Li Gui was also happy to procrastinate on the spot, except for two rounds of food and supplies from Ningbian Metropolitan Guard, Li Gui's place was never disturbed, as if it had become a paradise far away from the war.

Some time ago, the soldiers and horses who built the Zhenghuang Banner evacuated Yizhou City for no reason. Li Gui suspected that the Ming army’s Liaodong reinforcements had arrived, so he remembered that the soldiers went to Yizhou City to get credit for the rescue, but his generals were scared. Jianlu's ambush all depended on staying in place and refusing to advance. Li Guicai dragged his nearly 2 horses all the way to Yizhou City after the definite news that Jianlu had gone to Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as Li Gui arrived in Yizhou City, he got reports from the officials and people who fled from the north. Hearing this, everyone was at a loss as to how to go to the Ming Kingdom to ask for reinforcements, but it was impossible to invite a group of evil spirits.

Li Gui and Li Shi carefully questioned the soldiers and refugees who fled to Yizhou one after another, and only then did they know some truths. It turned out that the officials of Bitong city neglected the Ming army and the Liaodong army to cross the river. The Ming army's Liaodong army may be the reason. Bitong City was captured, but Li Gui, Li Shi and other generals and officials of Ningbian Metropolitan Protectorate and Yizhou City were still undecided, and they got the news of the fall of Changcheng. hand.

Officials such as Li Gui and Li Shi were stunned. The Ming Dynasty was a state of etiquette and a great power in the celestial dynasty. The rascal, this time I'm afraid he has lured a wolf into the house.

Li Gui, Li Shi and other officials discussed all night, and finally decided to block the road of the Liaodong army of the Ming army going south to Yizhou, and then sent people to the Liaodong army barracks of the Ming army to ask for an explanation, but who was sent to the Ming army the next day? There was another dispute about the military barracks. Either the officials who went there were not worthy enough, or the officials who were enough were unwilling to go. In the end, Li Gui got angry and decided to lead his own troops to suppress Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty as the deputy marshal. military.

Li Gui led his army [-] miles away from Yizhou, and encountered the Liaodong Army of the Ming Army who came to Yizhou from the south, so Li Gui, the deputy marshal of Ningbian Dadu Protectorate, ordered his soldiers to set up camp on the spot and stop the south. The Liaodong Army of the Ming Army went there, lest Yizhou Prefecture also suffer the same fate as Bitong City and Changcheng City.

Then Li Gui led his men aggressively to seek an explanation from the head of the Liaodong Army of the Ming Army. Li Gui was taken into the tent of the Chinese Army that had not been settled by Mao Yuanyi and Yu Anxing. Li Gui asked Mao Yuanyi like a cannonball , Yu Anxing, about what happened to the Ming army in Bitong City and Chang City.

For a while, Li Gui sternly accused the Ming army of occupying the North Korean city, forcibly seizing the Korean navy, burning, killing and looting Korean officials and people. The country apologized and compensated for losses and so on.

Mao Yuanyi was unreasonably questioned by Li Gui, and his words were poor, and he completely lost the ability to parry. Yu Anxing is also a gentleman who is not good at rhetoric and sophistry. On the one hand, Li Gui secretly sent people to urge Man Gui, Zhao Lijiao, and Xue Polu to come to the Liaodong Army's central army tent to discuss matters.

The first soldier to arrive was Man Gui. When Man Gui met Li Gui, the deputy marshal of the Ningbian Dadu Protectorate of North Korea, he cursed, saying that the officials of Bitong city almost ruined the lives of the entire Liaodong army of the Ming army. It was also difficult for Cheng Tucheng to relieve the hatred in his heart. Now Li Gui was dumbfounded. He was really afraid of the soft and the hard, and the hard and the violent.

Li Gui was always stern and cowardly, but was robbed and humiliated by Man Gui for a while, and immediately stood there like a goose wood. It wasn't until the commander-in-chief Zhao led the army that Li Gui found the ladder to step down and told Zhao led the teaching However, when it came to the fact that the Ming army should not put Bitong City and Changcheng in chaos, Zhao Ratejiao insisted that the officials of Bitong City and Changcheng had colluded with Jianlu, and the Liaodong Army It is to clear the scourge for North Korea. Not only should Li Gui not blame the Ming army, but he should thank the Ming army for clearing the traitors of North Korea.

Li Gui secretly lamented that a weak country has no diplomacy. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty are fine, and the generals are all messing around. It seems that Bitong City and Changcheng's losses are probably in vain. When the captive arrived, Li Gui felt that it was too hard to come, so he planned to deal with Xue Polu in a soft way, hoping to have a chance.

But when Xue Polu opened his mouth, he poured cold water on Li Gui. Xue Polu said, "So it's General Li. It's just in time for you to come. I'll give you the confession materials of Bitong City, Changcheng, and Jianlu later." , after you have verified the confessions and transcripts of the traitors and captives, this general will punish these traitors and captives according to the canonical law."

Li Gui was taken aback and said: "General Xue, these are our North Koreans, you should leave it to our North Koreans to deal with, how can you kill people without authority."

Xue Polu opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Bitong City officials colluded with Jianlu to prevent our Daming Army from crossing the Yalu River, which caused our Daming Liaodong Army to lose more than 3000 soldiers and civilians on the east bank of the Yalu River. If General Li and your country do not agree to kill Can you think that your country has acquiesced in the relationship with Jianlu, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians of our Liaodong Army must go back to Nanhan Mountain City to ask Li Yu for an explanation."

Hearing Xue Polu's words, Li Gui's face turned blue and red, and he knew that he hit the iron plate for a while before he said: "General Xue, but no matter what, you can't detain our Korean navy."

Xue Polu shrugged and said: "How can our Liaodong Army cross the Yalu River without a ferry, and how can we save your Yizhou Prefecture?"

Li Gui said: "General Xue, Jianlu has left our Yizhou mansion a long time ago, now you don't have to go to Yizhou City at all."

Xue Polu said: "Hey, is it true that in North Korea, a newcomer entered the bridal chamber and the matchmaker threw it over the wall, and turned his face and refused to recognize him so quickly?"

Li Gui said: "General Xue, our North Korean country has always been hospitable, but your other Ming army suffered heavy losses in the Gaizhou area east of the Shuangtaizi River. You should go to rescue those failed Ming troops."

Li Gui's words still aroused quite a reaction from Mao Yuanyi and Yu Anxing. Even though they knew that the Liaodong-Eastern Route Army had failed, the two still couldn't control their feelings. The appearance of not being surprised by favor or humiliation made Li Gui feel a little uneasy.

Xue Polu said: "General Li, you are going too far. Our Liaodong East Route Army of the Ming Dynasty must reach the city of Yizhou. This is considered to have completed the mission entrusted to me by the emperor. Any individual or army wants to hinder me. It is futile for the Liaodong East Route Army to advance to the city of Yizhou, and it will never succeed."

Li Gui's expression changed drastically and he said, "General Xue, this Marshal doesn't understand what you mean."

Xue Polu said: "This general tells you that whoever blocks my Liaodong East Route Army from going to the city of Yizhou, this general will destroy him."

Li Gui glanced at Mao Yuanyi and Yu Anxing and said sharply, "General Xue, this is your intention, or the intention of the Ming court."

Xue Polu said: "You can understand it whatever you want."

Li Gui looked at Mao Yuanyi and Yu Anxing helplessly. Although Mao Yuanyi and Yu Anxing disagreed with Xue Polu's statement, they would not strip Xue Polu's face in front of Li Gui, an outsider, so the two followed Man Gui and Zhao led the teaching together and let Xue Polu play rough with Li Gui in their free time.

Li Gui faltered for a long time and said: "Xue Jiajun, can you return our North Korean navy."
