[0534 Li is moderate]
The North Korean general guarding the city gate, with bulging eyes, seemed to can't believe all this, but he didn't have time to think, and he had fallen heavily to the ground, blood slowly flowing from the corners of his mouth.
There were forty or fifty people guarding the city gate, and the soldiers were killed when they saw that the general said that they were killed, and the one who killed the person was the envoy of the Ming Dynasty? They were all stunned.
In fact, this is not a big deal, in North Korea, it is common for nobles to kill generals, and low-level generals are really not much higher than the status of soldiers!
In many cases, the status of a soldier is not as good as that of a farmer.
It's just that this is not an ordinary army, this is the general of the Royal Forest Army!
"Get out of the way, or I'll kill you all!" Lin Wenbiao said calmly to a group of North Korean soldiers.
These forty or fifty Korean soldiers, all of whom were holding spears and long knives, were like facing a great enemy, and many of them trembled slightly, and they were all frightened.
I don't know who retreated first, but anyway, they only lasted less than ten seconds, and then they all retreated, and one by one they stood by the city gate.
Madman Tan asked the people of the president's guard to go up a few and drive down the more than twenty Korean archers on the city tower, and also asked them to stand by the city gate.
"Don't be afraid! It was this man who forcibly blocked our convoy and killed him! We don't kill indiscriminately! You're all standing and you're fine! "Madman Tan is now able to do ideological work.
The archers were also like the soldiers on the side of the city gate, they had no courage to resist, they went down the city tower in fright, stood on the edge of the city, and stared vigilantly at the convoy of the Ming envoys.
Wei Bao's convoy easily went out of the city, and the solid Gongju city was like a pile of tofu in Wei Bao's eyes, like Ganghwa Island and Incheon.
It seems that everything in North Korea is made of tofu.
Wei Bao came this time to get oil and water and eat tofu.
He didn't believe that Jiannu could drive straight into Seoul and defeat Seoul twice, and it was very easy, and when he got to himself, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Wei Bao is confident that in terms of positional offensive and defensive battles, in terms of small-scale and local combat strength, Jiannu may not be the opponent of his presidential guard.
Wang Qiuya looked at all this nervously, and was some distance away from Gongzhou City, before she was frightened: "Really say that if you kill their generals, you will kill them?" In this case, will the North Koreans hate us? ”
"Politicians are not afraid of hate! I'm afraid that there is no power! Wei Bao said indifferently.
The news of the murder of a member of the Korean royal family's guards soon spread throughout Gongju City and into the royal palace.
Four or five hundred ministers from two classes arrived, and unanimously asked Li Liang to send troops to chase after the Ming envoys to ask for an explanation, and to inform the Ming court of this matter and ask for an explanation.
Li Qi was silent, just a door official, he knew that these ministers were just for show, if they really wanted to meet with the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, it was very likely that he would suffer!
Moreover, it is unlikely that the Ming court will punish their minister for a junior general in Korea.
Although he still doesn't know what Wei Bao's background is, Li Liang can be sure that Wei Bao is a disciple of Jiliao Governor, but he is afraid that Wei Bao's family background is equivalent to that of princes and nobles, and it is even possible that he is a child of any prime minister's family.
Because after all, Wei Bao's temperament is there, and his ability is there.
Wei Bao bragged in the palace of the king of Joseon a few days ago, but he only started with his rise in Jinshan, and did not say that his parents were just farmers in Jinshan.
"The most urgent thing now is not to be angry, not to ask the Ming envoys for explanations! I'm afraid that the envoys of the Ming Dynasty are going to contact the rebel Li Shi! That's trouble! Li Qi said worriedly.
Jin Jin nodded and said: "This is indeed unguarded, but this possibility is not big, in recent days, our official army has been victorious, and the rebels are about to be defeated." Moreover, the rebels are not justifiable, why should the envoys of the Ming Dynasty help the rebels? The envoy was young, but he was unusually shrewd, and he would never do it. ”
"Then what is he rushing out of Gongju City and going to Seoul at this time? Is it because we have been delaying giving him the title of Taifu and the fief of Incheon? Li Qi wondered.
Jin Jin nodded: "It's very likely, I think it's just to make a show for us, this young Ming envoy is really incomprehensible!" To say that he is shrewd and can propose a fief and a name. If you want to say that he is not shrewd, you should be able to think that such a major matter, how can we give it to him casually, in that case, how will the students of the entire North Korea view the imperial court and His Royal Highness? Even if the Ming Dynasty is the suzerain, it can't do whatever it wants in North Korea! If this precedent is set, will it be that the envoys of North Korea in the future, everyone will ask for titles and fiefs, and we will have to be satisfied every time? If that's the case, the Ming Dynasty will send people once a year, and in less than ten years, the land around Seoul will be occupied by the Ming Dynasty envoys! Moreover, for such a major matter, not only the Korean court should agree, but also the Ming court, right? I wonder what this young envoy thinks? ”
"And now that they have killed our generals, what should we do? Do you want to report to the Ming court together? Li Qi asked.
"It's better not to, the Ming envoy will definitely say that it was our doorman who rushed into him, just like he seized our Ganghwa Island!" Jin Jin said.
Li Qi sighed sadly, and said expressionlessly: "This Ming envoy is too arrogant, how can he kill people for no reason at every turn?" Looking at his delicate face, Si Sven, I really can't imagine that he is such a person. ”
"The Ming Dynasty is big, and the officialdom is domineering, unlike our North Korea, in the eyes of high-ranking officials and nobles, human life is like a mustard." Kim explained.
Li Qi sighed again and said no more. I felt very cowardly, but I had no place to get out, so I chose to be silent and give in.
It's just a human life, compared to the four thousand soldiers on Ganghwa Island, this human life is really nothing.
When Li Liang and Jin Jin were puzzled, President Wei's motorvoy had already driven all the way to Seoul.
There are dozens of checkpoints along the way, and most of the checkpoints are just asking, and they don't dare to intercept them, because this group of people was personally received by Jin Jin in Gongzhou a few days ago, and they all know it, and they all have successfully left Gongzhou City, even if there is no customs clearance document, it is not their turn to stop them.
Therefore, Wei Bao's men did not kill again.
It wasn't until the last checkpoint of more than ten miles of Seoul that the military camps of the North Korean generals Zhang Wan and Zheng Zhongxin in this area were strictly checked again.
When he got here, Wei Bao didn't let his subordinates rush hard, and chose to intersperse in a roundabout way, not to clash with the big military spirit of North Korea as a last resort, Wei Bao knew that the field troops and the royal family's guards were different, and they really made trouble, if four or five thousand people dealt with their own four hundred or so people together, their side would not be able to get benefits, and they might be killed by the North Koreans.
"President, it's not easy to get around, we sent more than a dozen small units of scouts, surrounded by rangers from the North Korean official army." Lin Wenbiao and Madman Tan came to report, and it was Madman Tan who spoke: "It's better to wait until the evening before leaving." ”
Wei Bao nodded: "It's up to you!" Don't get into conflict easily! It's not that we're afraid of conflict, it's that we can't let our people get hurt. ”
Lin Wenbiao and Madman Tan nodded together in agreement.
At this time, the official army led by Zhang Wan and Zheng Zhongxin, and the official army confronted the Korean rebels led by Li Shi, Li Chang, Han Minglian, Li Shoubai, and Qi Yixian in Anhyeon, in the western suburbs of Seoul, and had entered the most critical juncture.
"Father, this is not the way to go! The more the officers and troops gathered, the more and more they gathered, and if the soldiers and horses of King Qin in the south of Seoul joined the officers and troops, the momentum would be even stronger! Li Shi's son Li Chang said.
Han Minglian, Li Shoubai, Qi Yixian and other generals were silent.
Li Shi slammed the table and said angrily: "Zhang Wan, this old fox, will not attack Seoul!" When we attacked, they retreated, leading us into their pockets. I retreated, and they followed, circling us in the western suburbs of Seoul! This trick is really hard to crack! We must try to defeat Zhang Wan's army in one fell swoop, take Gongzhou City, and capture or kill Li Liang! ”
Han Minglian, Li Shoubai, Qi Yixian and other generals all know that if they want to do this, they can capture Gongzhou City and capture or kill Li Liang, how easy is it?
"Father, now is not the time to be angry, the disaster of the three armies starts with suspicion! Gather your troops and horses, and fight to the death with Zhang Wan tonight! Li Chang admonished: "Although we have suffered several small defeats, the main force is still there, and besides, the military strength of our side is far stronger than that of the royal family!" ”
Li Shi nodded, looked at Han Minglian, Li Shoubai, Qi Yixian and other generals, and saw that they were all wilting and drooping, without any intention of fighting, and sighed: "Everyone is in the same boat now, they are all people in the same boat, and it is too late to regret it, and now the plan is to move forward bravely together, and drive Gongzhou to fight to the death with the royal army, so that there is a glimmer of life!" What do you say? ”
Han Minglian, Li Shoubai, Qi Yixian and other generals looked at each other, and no one said anything.
"If you don't speak, there's no problem! All right! Let's go back to camp now! Gather the army and go! Li Shi slapped the table and gave an order.
"Yes, General." Han Minglian agreed weakly.
Li Shoubai and Qi Yixian only moved their mouths, and they didn't make a sound at all.
Li Shi wanted to reprimand them a few words, but in the end he held back and made preparations for them to hurry up and gather their respective people.
Li Shi's rebel side is actively preparing for a general attack tonight.
Li Shoubai and Qi Yixian, who were already remorseful and ready to secretly surrender to the royal army, secretly combined the two after leaving Li Shi's camp.
"This is not the way, if we are defeated again tonight, the morale of the army will be weakened, and the people below will run out!" Li Shoubai offered his way to Qiyi.
"I have already sent someone to contact General Zhang Wan, and he sent someone to reply to the letter, saying that as long as we make meritorious service, we can not blame the past! Now that the official family is in full swing, even if Zhang Wan's army is defeated tonight, there will be no way to capture Gongzhou City! It's better to take advantage of this opportunity, I will send someone to report the news, so that General Zhang Wan can prepare in advance, and break the army of Li Shi and Han Minglian, let's stand still in the back, and when Li Shi and Han Minglian are defeated, we will take advantage of the situation to attack from both sides, just take the heads of Li Shi and Han Minglian and hand them over to His Royal Highness, and make the merit for the crime, maybe, we can also get a reward! Qi Yi said.
Li Shoubai frowned, "But we swore by blood at the beginning, I haven't thought about it yet!" It's just that now you pull people and horses to surrender, you will be stabbed in the back, it's too unrighteous, right? ”
"General, if you just surrender, you won't have much credit!" Qi Yixian sighed and said: "We can't fight anymore, and if we continue to fight, we will die with Li Shi and Han Minglian!" The timing is forcing us to be ruthless! We are a felony of rebellion, and if we don't catch or kill Li Shi and Han Minglian so much, I'm afraid that just surrendering will not help. ”
Li Shoubai listened to Qi Yixian's persuasion: "Okay! Just do as you say, let's go and prepare separately! After the army started in the evening, we will join forces and deliberately lag behind the army of Li Shi and Han Minglian. ”
Qi Yixian nodded and said, "Don't worry! There must be no problem! However, the stakes are high, and I ask the general to write this letter with me and sign his name! ”
Li Shoubai gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
Because now the rebel army led by Li Shi, Han Minglian, Li Shoubai, Qi Yixian and other generals is in a state of stalemate with the official army led by Zhang Wan and Zheng Zhongxin, and the two armies are very close, so Qi Yixian quickly sent someone to contact Zhang Wan.
Zhang Wan received the messenger and obtained the news provided by Qi Yixian, and couldn't help but be ecstatic.
"Big break Li Shi, it's tonight!" Zhang Wan immediately recruited Zheng Zhongxin and his generals.
And he took the letter of the strange gift to show everyone.
The generals couldn't help but be in ecstasy, after a month or two, it was finally over, and no one likes to live with their heads up.
"General, give the order! We all listen to you. Zheng Zhong said.
All the generals echoed together: "General, give the order!" We all listen to you. ”
"Good!" Zhang Wan straightened the treasure knife on his waist, and then pointed to a very rough cloth map on the table and said, "Don't care about Li Shoubai and Qi Yixian's soldiers and horses, set up an encirclement here, and wait for Li Shi and Han Minglian to get into the trap!" All your soldiers and horses are thrown in, and you don't have to leave anyone to intercept and kill! The interception and killing are all handed over to Li Shoubai and Qi Yixian's men and horses to do! ”
"General, do you trust Li Shoubai and Qi Yixian so much?" Zheng Zhongxin reminded.
"No problem!" Zhang Wan said confidently: "This is a joint handwritten letter from the two of them!" If there is fraud, when we announce this handwritten letter to the world, neither the royal family nor the entire Korean people will be able to spare them, and they will also become people who have no faith and righteousness! ”
People in this era value faith very much, even more than being a rebel.
Being a rebel is because you have been wronged, and losing your faith is a matter of personality, which cannot be tolerated between heaven and earth.
The generals had no more problems, so they went their separate ways to prepare.
That night, Wei Bao's convoy really couldn't find a gap to break through the blockade line of Zhang Wan's army, so he could only temporarily rest in a mountain col.
Wei Bao is not stunned, bullying soft persimmons, playing a tailwind, Wei Bao is a good hand, but when the obstacle is too big, he is willing to give up.
Or rather, wait for the right moment.
It is impossible to give up.
It's not Wei Bao's character to be hard, and it's not Wei Bao's character to give up.
"Don't you light a fire? Strangely cold. Wang Qiuya and Wei Bao said together.
Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Are we still cold next to each other?" This place is very close to Zhang Wan and Li Shi's camp, and the target is too big after ignition, so it will not be good to be killed by them by mistake. ”
Wang Qiuya sighed softly, "Is the president going to help Li Shi fight Zhang Wan?" ”
"It depends! It is best if Zhang Wan can drive Li Shi to the point of exhaustion, and then I will save Li Shi's life, and then help him regroup and be qualified to negotiate with the royal family. In this way, Li Shi can only obey my orders. Wei Bao said.
"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult, I'm afraid that if I can't wait for such an opportunity, Li Shi's army will be annihilated by Zhang Wan, doesn't Lin Wenbiao's intelligence say that the official army has won victories one after another in the past few days, and can defeat Li Shi's rebels at any time?" Wang Qiuya reminded.
Wei Bao snorted, there was no particularly good way, he had no contact with Li Shi, and now he wanted to join forces with Li Shi's rebels to fight Zhang Wan's official army, but he couldn't do it.
Let his men and horses fight Zhang Wan's officers and soldiers alone, this kind of uneconomical and unanticipated deal, a deal that does not know the outcome of the deal, Wei Bao does not want to do it.
Wei Bao came to North Korea to scrape oil and water, ask for cheapness, break into the Korean government, and obtain his own power group, not to give away people's heads.
Before the time came, an hour before the hour, there was movement near the col on Wei Bao's side.
"President! President! Lin Wenbiao and Madman Tan came to President Wei's carriage and whispered to wake up President Wei.
President Wei was lying on Wang Qiuya's lap and sleeping Zhengxiang.
President Wei didn't wake up, Wang Qiuya woke up suddenly, pushed open the carriage door, "What's the matter?" ”
"There's a hurry!" Madman Tan couldn't help but say.
Wang Qiuya knew that they woke up the president so late and like this, there must be something urgent, and she didn't dare to slack off, so she had to risk the president being angry after waking up, shook the president's arm, and called softly: "President! ’
Wei Bao was dazed and couldn't wake up.
Wei Bao was very dead when he slept, and as long as he fell asleep, it was generally difficult for Lei to wake him up.
What's more, at this time, he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, which is the most sleepy age.
Wang Qiuya shook for almost a minute, and Wei Bao woke up, opened his eyes suddenly, and hummed impatiently.
Lin Wenbiao and Madman Tan saw that President Wei was awake, and Madman Tan hurriedly said: "President, we have discovered the enemy's situation, three miles away from us, there are hundreds of people lurking in the dark, as if they are ambushing!" ”
Wei Bao sat up suddenly, "Take the map!" ”
Madman Tan had already prepared and spread out the map: "This is it!" ”
Wei Baoqi said: "Is this Li Shi's centaur or Zhang Wan's centaur?" Why is there an ambush here? ”
"It seems to be Zhang Wan's people, and at this time they began to ambush, I think it's very weird, it seems that there is definite information, and they are waiting for Li Shi's ambush! I guess it's very likely that Zhang Wan's people have already plotted against Li Shi's side! Otherwise, there will be no ambush in the middle of the night! Li Shi's people are very likely to make a big move tonight! Lin Wenbiao said.
Madman Tan nodded and said, "I think so too!" ”
"Then, in this case, Li Shi will suffer a big loss! There's a good chance you'll die tonight! Wei Bao was shocked. The mind began to think quickly about the whole situation.
Although Wei Bao vaguely knew a little about Li Shi's rebellion before, but because of his rebirth and crossing, history will change more or less, and everyone's ending cannot be the same.
Moreover, Li Shi is not Chongzhen, not a core key figure in history, Wei Bao is not clear about the specific time of this kind of person, let alone what Li Shi's ending will be, so he has no ability to predict at this time.
After thinking for a while, Wei Bao asked, "What do you think?" We want to rescue Li Shi! But you can't save it in advance, and you can't save it in advance! It can only be saved in the process of fighting, and we can't hurt ourselves. ”
Although I don't know exactly what to do, Wei Bao will make requests, and in fact, he is the one in the team who is responsible for making requests.
"It's not difficult, just wait for them to fight, let's eat this ambush of soldiers and horses from behind, and open a hole for Li Shi's army! I'm afraid that when he contacts Li Shi when the time comes, he doesn't know who we are, and he can't believe us. Lin Wenbiao said.
Madman Tan also nodded and said, "I'm most afraid that we will also be regarded as Zhang Wan's army, and we will fight hard." ”
"Let's take one step at a time! Strive to catch the generals of the army of five or six hundred people who are in ambush, and escort the generals to find Li Shi, when he is cornered, he should be able to make a judgment! Even if you don't dare to trust us easily, at least you will have a defense! We can back off and let them go! Wei Bao said.
Lin Wenbiao and Madman Tan felt that the president's idea was the safest, and agreed together.
It's easy to do with a plan, so Madman Tan went down to command the troops to prepare!
With the military superiority of the treasure army, in the face of an enemy army with equal strength, and in the case of a sudden sneak attack, it can be said that it is a sure victory!
After Lin Wenbiao and Madman Tan went to arrange, Wei Bao looked at his map and thought.
"You sleep!" Wei Bao looked at Wang Qiuya, who was staring at him with wide eyes.
Wang Qiuya hummed softly, "It doesn't matter to me, I'll accompany the president." ”
Wei Bao looked at it for a while, but now the information is incomplete, and he can't see anything famous, so he said, "I sleep too!" Go to sleep! I hope I can earn it again! ”
For Wei Bao, everything he has is really earned by lying down, except for a little effort when he first assembled the team, and then he has always put forward opinions as a leader.
No matter how great the strength of the Tiandihui Statistics Office is, it is not yet capable of grasping the specific operational arrangements and personnel situation of the Korean rebels and the DPRK officers and soldiers.
If you know everything, it's not a human being, it's God.
Soon, it's time for the sub!
It was a very quiet night, so silent that there was not even the sound of an owl.
The autumn wind was blowing, and only the dead branches without leaves were rustled by the wind.
Wei Bao and Wang Qiuya were not cold, the two of them were wrapped in blankets and snuggled together.
The tiger fur blanket is particularly awesome, not to mention this weather, it is the ice and snow of the cold winter wax moon, and it is enough to keep out the cold in the wild.
At such a tense time, President Wei suddenly became interested, and made a scene with Wang Qiuya in the blanket, the carriage creaked and shook violently, and the beautiful secretaries of the president's secretariat on the periphery of the rock, as well as a group of Korean palace maids who had been incorporated into the president's secretariat, were all dry-mouthed.
Especially Jin Shanggong, who was just fortunate by Gongzi yesterday, is the time when he eats the marrow and knows the taste, and is eager to gain grace again, and he is particularly sensitive to the movements of Gongzi.
Jin Shanggong didn't fall asleep all night, just now the president's guard left, I don't know what to do, and now there are only a few dozen people around the president.
Then, now the president's carriage shook like this, and her heart trembled lightly.
Jin Shanggong sighed silently, wrapped the blanket on the ground a little tighter, blindfolded his eyes, and tried not to look at it.
After another half an hour, just when President Wei's carriage shook the most violently, the shouting of killing came to mind!
At this time, the army of Li Shi and Han Minglian had already rushed into the ambush circle set by the Korean general Zhang Wan.
After Li Shoubai and Qi Yixian's men and horses arrived at the periphery of the ambush circle, they stopped going in, and quietly retreated a few miles, waiting in place.
Before Li Shi and Han Minglian launched the attack, they didn't see Li Shoubai and Qi Yixian's men and horses to follow, but they didn't have time to contact, thinking that after the attack, they would naturally follow, so they launched a charge against Zhang Wan's camp according to the original plan!
In the shouting of killing, Li Shi and Han Minglian's army attacked smoothly and rushed into Zhang Wan's camp.
It was an empty camp, and then there were shouts of killing from all sides!
Li Shi was shocked: "Not good! Hit the trick! Evacuate! Evacuate! ”
Li Shi's side, Li Chang, Han Minglian and others also shouted in fear: "Retreat!" Evacuate! Hit the trick! ”
But where is the time!?
Rows of rockets fell, and the entire battalion instantly became a sea of fire.
On all sides is an encirclement of officers and troops! Shrink to the army of Li Shi and Han Minglian together.
"Father, quickly order a breakthrough in one direction!" Li Chang said loudly in fright.
Han Minglian also said: "I'm afraid someone leaked the secret in advance!" Hurry up and break through to one place! ”
Li Shi's mind was blank at this time, where did he think of which side to break through? "Go back the way you came! Meet Li Shoubai and Qi Yixian's centaurs first! ”
Han Minglian nodded, it can only be like this!
Li Shi's army then retreated desperately to the original road under Li Shi's order.
This point had long been expected by Zhang Wan, and all the encirclements were arranged on the way to the retreat of Li Shi's army.
Li Shi had no choice, if he didn't retreat to the original way, he could only continue to charge head-on, in that case, he would go deeper and deeper, and it would be impossible to return to Seoul again.
As long as he can return to Seoul with the remnants and rest his troops and horses, he can still fight, as long as Seoul is in hand, he will not be defeated.
"Here they go! Let's get started! Madman Tan couldn't wait for a long time, and said to Lin Wenbiao beside him.
Because Lin Wenbiao is the commander-in-chief of this trip, Madman Tan is cooperating with the action.
Lin Wenbiao said: "It's still up to you!" This trip is all from your President's Guard, and there are not many people from my General Administration of Statistics. ”
"That's good! Call me! "Crazy Tan ordered loudly!
Because I said in advance, throw grenades as little as possible, the grenades of the treasure army are too expensive!
Therefore, everyone mainly focuses on white-knuckle combat with cold weapons.
