The general was born bold and heroic, and his waist was crossed.

This is a poem written by Emperor Taizu Gao for Yang Wen before the rebellion of the indigenous people of Guizhou and Guangxi.

It's a motivating and a reminder.

Inspire him to become Yang Wen in the future, seal the marquis of ten thousand households, and lead the title of governor.

At the same time, it also reminded him to be like Yang Wen, loyal to the court and loyal to his father.

Ping'an is Taizu's righteous son, and he can be regarded as Zhu Yunwen's goduncle, but Ping'an never dared to think about it.

Liaodong is now an important border trade place of the imperial court, and the stakes are important, Liaodong cannot make trouble, and Ping An does not dare to let Liaodong go into chaos. Therefore, since he took office in Liaodong, Ping An has basically lived in the military camp, but the government in Liaoyang City has rarely been back.

Later, Liaodong changed its defense, and the new army took over the defense of the original Liaodong Army.

The military discipline of the new army was much better than that of the original Liaodong Army, and he did not have to be chained to the barracks all day long, worried that there would be bold soldiers and bandits who would sneak out of the barracks and do evil.

It wasn't until Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di's military orders came that Ping An was very excited, leading the army to fight, no matter what the reason was, it was always an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

The coup d'état in Korea, the impact on Liaodong is unknown, the Ming Dynasty hopes that North Korea has an honest and responsible king, not an ambitious monarch, and the task of peace is to enter Kaijing and stabilize Li Fangguo's throne.

Ping'an fought in the Central Plains for a long time, and he didn't know much about the boundaries of Liaodong, but fortunately, Zeng Bin, the deputy commander-in-chief, had been cultivating Liaodong for many years and sent his own soldier Zeng Yi to Ping'an, which gave Ping Baoer a preliminary understanding of his next opponent.

This is a country that was established in a coup d'état and is happy to carry out a coup d'état.

The father of the brothers, Li Fangguo and Li Fangyuan, Yi Sung-gye, was a general of the former Goryeo Dynasty who ended the Goryeo Dynasty through a coup d'état, and in order to ensure his legitimacy, he asked the Ming Dynasty for canonization and conferring a national title.

In the list of country names jointly drawn up by the Ministry of Rites and Li Chenggui, Taejo fell in love with the name of North Korea at a glance, but the old man Taizu was too busy, and although he gave the name of North Korea, he forgot to agree that Li Chenggui would be the king of North Korea, and when the envoy of North Korea returned to China, Li Chenggui did not dare to call himself the king of North Korea, so he had to take the title of "acting for Korean state affairs". Later, he was canonized before he dared to be called the king of Joseon.

And Li Fangyuan, just like Li Shimin of North Korea, although his ability is far behind, but the trajectory of his life is the same, he has followed his father Li Chenggui to raise troops since he was a child, and he also cleaned up the opposition of the Goryeo Dynasty step by step, but Li Chenggui did not intend to pass the throne to Li Fangyuan, so Li Fangyuan launched a coup d'état one after another, forcing Li Chenggui to abdicate and put him under house arrest.

Now he is further persecuting Li Fangguo to pass the throne to him.

"Isn't this an intellectual retardation that is superfluous?"

After Ping An understood, he smiled, it's so complicated, you just played the change of Xuanwu Gate for the first time, and it was done twice, and both times it was a Zen ceremony, what did you do so politely.

"How many troops are there in this country?"

Ping An doesn't care about the North Korean mentally retarded and his political system, it has nothing to do with his mission this time, he only cares about how to break into Kaekyung and keep Li Fangguo's throne.

Zeng Yi replied, "Less than 100,000 people." ”

Ping An was taken aback, "So little? ”

In terms of the dilapidated environment in the southwest, an Annan country can afford to raise hundreds of thousands of troops, regardless of whether it is a miscellaneous army or not, this number alone is scary enough, and North Korea is less than 100,000 people?

And what about their army?

"It has to do with their ethnic composition."

Zeng Yi explained.

"In addition to the natives and our Han Chinese, this country also has a large number of Jurchen, Tatar, and Mongol tribes.

At the end of the anti-Yuan period, there was a Red Turban Rebellion that entered Goryeo, and the anti-Yuan army pursued into Korea, and later the anti-Yuan was driven back to Mobei, and this part of the Mongol army remained here.

In addition, North Korea was established as a country through a military coup, so in terms of recruitment, Li Chenggui was very cautious and only believed in the local natives. ”

As a large country in the East, once China fights, the impact on the surrounding small countries is undoubtedly huge, and it is not only the Han people who flee and cross the Yalu River, but also the Mongols, Jurchens, and Tatars who all flock into Korea.

This is not something that has appeared in recent decades, as early as hundreds of years ago, when the Liaojin and Jin conflicts, the Khitan and Jurchen began to enter North Korea, and in a sense, North Korea is a large refugee shelter.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the body of the founding king of Korea, Yi Sung-gye, in addition to not having the blood of the Korean natives, there is the blood of any ethnic group, because his grandfather was Daru Hwachi, who was in charge of the Yalu River generation of Goryeo in the Yuan Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Chenggui understood that only the indigenous people of Korea are the most honest and courageous, whether they are Han Chinese, Mongols, or Jurchens, they all have the gene of being the king and hegemon in their bones, which is not conducive to maintaining the rule of his Li dynasty.

"That's interesting."

There is a simple sand table in the big tent, and there are only a dozen small flags on it, Ping An smiled, pointed to Kaijing, and said to the generals in the big tent.

"Aha out, let your people scatter in and explore the way for General Ben, where are their armies now."

In this battle, the Ming Dynasty recruited 10,000 Jurchens, and the Jianzhou Jurchens accounted for the majority, with more than 8,000 coming, which can be said to be pouring out, while the Haixi and the Savage Jurchens only had 2,000 people, and therefore, the command of the three Jurchens fell to the heads of Ahachu and Mengge Timur.

"Let's find out if they have troops in the border areas first, once the Yalu River crosses, the two armies will face each other head-on, and there will be nothing to fight in this battle."

It is not a conceit of peace, this is a mentality shared by the entire Ming Dynasty military generals, there were too many victories in the early Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of the generals at this time, in addition to Warat and Tatar have the qualifications to let the Ming army warm up, small countries like the southwest and North Korea, in addition to relying on geographical advantages, there is no hope of winning the Ming army.

Any art of war and strategy is nonsense in the face of absolute strength.

"Ask the general to make my department a pioneer!"

Brother Meng's Timur suddenly knelt on one knee and said to Ping'an, "My department is willing to go straight to Beijing, take that Li Fangyuan's head, and present it to the general." ”

Ping'an glanced at him with a deep gaze, and said with a smile, "The leader of Brother Meng has a heart, and the Jurchen brave general also has a number in his heart, but after all, there are too few of your people, if there is a mistake, it will hurt the muscles and bones, and the vitality will be greatly damaged." ”

Brother Meng Timur was greatly moved, and hugged his fist with tears in his eyes, "Our people are fortunate to rely on the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, so that they will not be wiped out by the Wu enemy Ha people today, and it is also because of the gift of the Ming Dynasty that they can reproduce and grow, and they will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty from generation to generation, and they will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations, and they will be the eagle dogs of the country, and they will eliminate the ministers, please allow us to be the pioneers, and the sons and daughters of our clan will regard death as home." ”

"The loyalty of the leader of Brother Meng is already known."

Ping An waved his hand, "Let's wait for Aha to send out the intelligence of the army, I will make my own decision, and all departments will camp first to prepare for crossing the river." ”

"Command!"
