Chapter 161: The Kaesong Rebellion (Part II)

The originally foolproof plan failed because of the leakage of the news, which made Li Chenggui angry, and even cast his suspicious eyes on a few henchmen, because only they had the possibility of leaking secrets, and finally his eyes fell on Zheng Daochuan, because among several people, only Zheng Daochuan and Zheng Mengzhou had a deep friendship, although they fell out later, it may also be a scene they played.

Zheng Daochuan was also stunned when he saw Li Chenggui's gaze, and then his face changed drastically and explained: "Lord, we people have long been firmly bound to the interests of the Lord, and it is absolutely impossible to betray you!" ”

As soon as Zheng Daochuan's words fell, he heard Li Fangyuan also speak: "Father, I am also thinking about this on the way back, it is absolutely impossible for the people in this room to betray you, the only possible ones are those who do not belong to us, but know the whole plan!" ”

"Da Ming!" Before Li Chenggui could react, Zheng Daochuan was the first to shout.

Li Chenggui was also taken aback when he heard this, but then he said with some suspicion: "But Da Ming has no reason?" Why did they leak their plans, could it be that Zheng Mengzhou finally used any benefits to impress Da Ming? ”

"No, Da Ming is trying to provoke our civil strife, only if we make trouble, they can profit from it!" Li Fangyuan said decisively again, on the way back, he had already considered the whole thing, and this was the only explanation.

"Oops, if that's the case, the Ming army will soon arrive in Kaesong!" Zheng Daochuan exclaimed again, if the Ming army joined forces with Zheng Mengzhou and others, then their military advantage would also become a disadvantage.

"The situation is critical, now for us, the best way is to immediately raise troops and directly control Zheng Mengzhou and others by force, so that even if the Ming army comes, it will be rootless water, and it will not be able to become any climate at all!" Li Fangyuan suggested again, and his expression was already a little eager.

Li Chenggui is not stupid, after hearing the conversation between his son and Zheng Daochuan, he immediately came to his senses, only to see that he hesitated for a moment and immediately made a decision: "Pass my order, transfer troops, and kill the palace!" ”

Li Chenggui is almost certain that after Zheng Mengzhou escaped with his life, his first target must be the King of Goryeo, as long as he controls the King of Goryeo, he will have the capital to fight against him, so he must be one step ahead.

At the same time, Zheng Mengzhou, Cao Minxiu and others did lead their troops to kill the palace, originally after they thwarted Li Fangyuan's assassination, they should immediately lead troops to kill Li Chenggui's mansion, after all, their faces have been torn, if they can kill Li Chenggui in one fell swoop, then the entire Kaesong will also fall into their hands.

However, Zheng Mengzhou still gave up the idea of killing Li Chenggui, because the probability of success was too low, Li Chenggui held the power of the army, most of the troops in the entire Kaesong were under his control, and his own mansion was also equipped with heavy troops, Zheng Mengzhou's troops were only a few thousand people, and it was impossible to break through Li Chenggui's mansion in a short time, and as soon as the reinforcements from outside arrived, they could only wait for death.

Therefore, Zheng Mengzhou and they also quickly made a decision, immediately kill the palace as quickly as possible, as long as they rescue the king of Goryeo, and then protect him from Kaesong, then they can get out of the control of Li Chenggui, and then in the name of the king of Goryeo, they can summon local officials to come to King Qin, and then they can compete with Li Chenggui.

"Quick! Be sure to be fast! Zheng Mengzhou rode on his horse and rushed to the closest, urging the army to speed up all the way, they had to rush to the palace before Li Chenggui reacted, otherwise it would be too late.

Cao Minxiu next to him was also urging the army to gallop, he was originally exiled to other places, some time ago Zheng Mengzhou quietly took him back to Kaecheng, you must know that he and Li Chenggui were on an equal footing and controlled half of the people in the city, but after coming back this time, he found that most of the people in the city had taken refuge in Li Chenggui, and he didn't dare to contact the old department, because he didn't know if these people could still believe it, fortunately, Zheng Mengzhou also secretly prepared this trustworthy thousands of people.

"Squire, are you sure there will be an army outside the city to meet us?" Cao Minxiu suddenly stepped forward at this time and asked, with only such a few people as them, even if they go out of the city, I am afraid they will not be able to escape Li Chenggui's pursuit.

"Don't worry, as long as you go out of the city, someone will definitely answer you, there is no doubt about this!" Zheng Mengzhou said with a resolute expression, he didn't tell anyone about his contact with Jinyiwei, not even Cao Minxiu didn't know, there was a Ming army outside the city waiting for them to rescue the king of Goryeo.

Cao Minxiu was also relieved when he heard this, he believed in Zheng Mengzhou's character, and this is a matter of life and death, the other party will never lie about this kind of thing, the most important thing now is to rescue the king of Goryeo, as long as the king of Goryeo is in hand, then they have a chance, and even he can be the second Li Chenggui.

Thinking of this, Cao Minxiu's breathing couldn't help but become short.

However, the reality is cruel, when Zheng Mengzhou and Cao Minxiu led the army to the palace, they found that this place was already heavily guarded, and the army that had just been mobilized was guarding the palace gate, and they wanted to rescue the king of Goryeo, so they had to break through this road, but there were still reinforcements coming from outside, and if they were dragged here, they were likely to have only one way to perish in the end.

"The plan to rescue the king failed, and we can only fight out of the city and make plans again!" Cao Minxiu is worthy of being a veteran in the army, and when he saw this situation, he immediately made a decision.

Zheng Mengzhou looked at the heavily guarded palace and was also very unwilling, although he escaped the assassination of Li Chenggui's father and son, but what he really wanted to do was to take advantage of the chaos to rescue the king of Goryeo, but unfortunately Li Chenggui did not give him this opportunity, and his plan finally failed, which made him very annoyed.

"Withdraw!" Zheng Mengzhou finally said in frustration, since he can't break through, he can only retain his strength and make plans again, if he really can't, he can only use his prestige to gather troops from all over the country to come to King Qin, but then Li Chenggui will definitely slander himself under the banner of King Goryeo.

Zheng Mengzhou and Cao Minxiu immediately turned their horses and killed outside the city, but Li Chenggui would not easily let them retreat calmly, so soon an army began to intercept, fortunately, Cao Minxiu, a general, led the troops, plus they had a part of the cavalry, and the impact was unstoppable, so they also repelled many interceptions along the way, and finally finally killed the position of the city gate.

At the same time, the army led by Zhu Di was outside Kaecheng, but at this time, his face was pale, and he was whipping a person fiercely with a horsewhip in one hand, this person was the commander of Jinyiwei and the short Jiang Xuan, because according to Li Jie's original plan, Zhu Di was going to lead the army into Kaesong, and then control Li Chenggui in his hands at a critical time, but now because Jiang Cheng leaked the news to Zheng Mengzhou without authorization, Li Chenggui is likely to guess that it was the news leaked by them, so Zhu Di and they can't enter the city at all. The original plan was completely disrupted.
