Chapter 427: Sending the Plague God

Guo Zhiyuan said with a haha: "Why did Master Park say this? Shouldn't our Ming Dynasty and the DPRK be good-neighborly and friendly? Don't worry, I don't want your war horse in vain, I will buy it with silver, and I can also exchange the drawings of the tortoiseshell ship with the drawings of my Ming battleship, it doesn't matter if you don't want to, then continue to consume it......"

Park Dingji was completely speechless by Guo Zhiyuan's "cheekiness", so angry that he brushed his sleeves away on the spot, and went back to report to Guanghaijun, Guanghaijun was also angry, this Guo Zhiyuan is simply a scoundrel, even if he doesn't leave, he actually knocked on the bamboo pole!

In this way, it took another half a month, and the Spring Festival was almost over, Guo Zhiyuan still had no intention of leaving, and the person in charge of monitoring Guo Zhiyuan's fleet in the Dehe Islands in the open sea reported that since the new army had actually begun to build houses and fortifications on the island, it seemed that he was really ready to stay on the island for a long time, and Guanghaijun could no longer consume it, and brought the courtiers to discuss how to send Guo Zhiyuan, the "plague god", away.

Guo Zhiyuan is actually not really idle these days, and has been letting Li Dan secretly befriend those Korean ministers who are committed to the Ming Dynasty, and he really sent a lot of silver, so there are also many Korean ministers who help Guo Zhiyuan speak during the court discussion, saying that it is actually nothing to agree to Guo Zhiyuan's request, North Korea has to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year.

As for Guo Zhiyuan's request for the drawings of the "tortoiseshell ship", it is indeed a bit excessive, but since the Renchen War, Japan's vitality has been greatly damaged, and it no longer dares to invade North Korea, the Korean sea area is now very peaceful, and the North Korean sailors are also useless, and the drawings of the "tortoiseshell ship" are about to get wormed in the inner library, and it is nothing to copy a set for Guo Zhiyuan, and Guo Zhiyuan is willing to exchange the drawings of the Ming warship, and North Korea is not too much of a loss.

Now Guang Haijun just wanted to send Guo Zhiyuan, the plague god, away as soon as possible, and seeing that the ministers did not object, he just borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and agreed to Guo Zhiyuan's three requests.

Guo Zhiyuan's requirements for selecting guides and war horses were very harsh, insisting on selecting them himself, and he picked fat and thin and pulled the skin with the North Koreans for half a month, so he waited until the first month before officially setting off.

Finally able to send Guo Zhiyuan, the plague god away, Guanghai Jun was relieved, he had been saying that he was sick and did not show up, and he also made a special trip to lead the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to the dock to see Guo Zhiyuan off, although he hated Guo Zhiyuan in his heart, but on the surface he still made a reluctant look, holding Guo Zhiyuan's hand and pretending to say: "Lord Guo take care all the way, this king is looking forward to your triumphant return in Hanyang!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan looked at Guanghaijun's fake appearance and was secretly amused, and deliberately said: "I've disturbed Guanghaijun these days, if Guo can get away with winning, he will definitely come back to report to Guanghaijun!" ……”

Guang Haijun was so frightened that he shuddered, and hurriedly waved his hand in embarrassment: "No need, no need......

In order not to startle the snake and arouse the vigilance of Houjin, Guo Zhiyuan chose the route this time was to first take the sea route along the Korean coastline to Yiju (now Sinuiju in North Korea) to land, and then cross the Sino-Korean border by land and enter Andong (now Dandong, Liaoning).

Standing on the side of the Yalu River, Guo Zhiyuan is also full of emotion, in the original historical time and space, the People's Liberation Army crossed the Yalu River to fight in North Korea in order to defend the Chinese nation from being violated by the United States, and after crossing it, he also came here to change the fate of the Chinese nation, hoping that he could rewrite history this time and let the Chinese nation suffer a little less.

Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan suddenly became arrogant, and waved his hand vigorously at the soldiers of the New Army behind him: "Take the pontoon bridge and cross the river!" ”

Crossing the Yalu River will officially enter the territory of Andong. Echizen Guo Zhiyuan also traveled to Dandong and was deeply impressed by this beautiful city, but now it is still a barren land, so Guo Zhiyuan can't find it at all. The impression of the beautiful Dandong in Echizen, especially after the Later Jin occupied here, adopted a fixed border policy, built wicker edges at the border gate of the Sanhe River and the border gate of Phoenix City, and prohibited agriculture and animal husbandry, fishing and hunting, logging, and mining in the area outside the border wall, so that the entire Andong area was more desolate and almost inhabited.

However, this is very helpful for Guo Zhiyuan's hidden traces, after crossing the river, Guo Zhiyuan did not rush to advance, but ordered the whole army to camp on the spot, quarrying and cutting wood to build simple fortifications, of course, these things have their own Sun Zhiyong, Li Guozhu They do not need Guo Zhiyuan to worry too much.

Guo Zhiyuan had asked the craftsmen to make a simple sand table according to the description of the terrain of Liaodong by a hundred Korean guides, and he was thinking about how to copy the back road of the Houjin army in front of the sand table, Sun Zhiyong and Li Guozhu came in together, and when they saw their eager eyes, Guo Zhiyuan smiled, knowing that they had come to take the initiative to ask for battle!

Without waiting for the two to speak, Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand, pointed to the sand table and said: "Zhiyong, I will leave 10,000 new troops for you, you must help me guard the cross-strait ferry and pontoon bridge, and you must also build as many simple houses as possible, and be ready to receive prisoners and displaced people, can you do it?" ……”

Sun Zhiyong's expression darkened when he heard it, who doesn't want to rush to the front line when he is a general, but he didn't expect Guo Zhiyuan to let him stay, Li Guozhu was overjoyed when he heard it, he thought that Sun Zhiyong had made a great contribution when he smashed Qin Shou's attempt to take over Guo Zhiyuan's control of Dongfan, and he must have been more valued by Guo Zhiyuan, and he thought that the forward must be out of play, but he didn't expect to pick up a big leak, so he patted Sun Zhiyong's shoulder with joy and smiled: "Zhiyong, it's okay, when the time comes, I will cut off half of the Tartar head for you, and your credit is indispensable......"

Guo Zhiyuan glared at Li Guozhu with joy, patted Sun Zhiyong's shoulder heavily, and said seriously: "Zhiyong, for the sake of the generals, we must first protect our own back road before we go to copy the back road of the Houjin Army, you have a calm personality, so I left the back road of the New Army to you to guard, with you, I can rest assured to copy the back road of the Houjin Army!" ……”

Sun Zhiyong's spirits perked up, and then he gave a military salute to Guo Zhiyuan cleanly and said loudly: "Yes!" Mission completion guaranteed! ”

After settling down the back road, Guo Zhiyuan and Li Guozhu set off with 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry from the New Army, the battle is imminent, the soldiers of the New Army are extremely excited, especially most of them are southerners, they have never even seen snow, looking at the snow-capped scenery, they are even more excited, Guo Zhiyuan's expression is very cold, although he has worn. The more advantageous, but since the cavalry of the New Army has just taken shape, the cavalry and archery kung fu must not be compared with the Houjin Army that grew up on horseback, and the New Army is not familiar with the terrain of Liaodong, and it is even more unfamiliar with snow warfare.
