Chapter 114: The Battle of the Han River Ends

"Never." Bolo was taken aback and said: "Lord, don't be rash, you should focus on the overall situation, and now the situation in North Korea is no longer in my favor, if today's raid can be a big victory, there is no need to mention it, once there is a loss." The operation of the Qing Dynasty in Korea will be ruined, but I don't know how the prince will see the regent. ”

"Daring, are you reprimanding me?" Azig said angrily.

"Don't dare, it's just that the prince should think twice about this matter." Bolo said.

It's not that Azig doesn't know something, it's just that he can't breathe a sigh of relief.

This is North Korea, not the Central Plains, although the Qing army and the Xia army fought on the soil of Korea, but one thing cannot be ignored, that is, this is the home of North Korea.

Azig took advantage of the winter to invade on a large scale, but in just over ten days, he hit under Seoul and beat all the people and horses of North Korea.

It seems like an unbeatable. But in fact, the places that Azig could control, that is, the cities on the line from Liaodong to Seoul, and most of the rest were controlled by the Koreans.

Azig knew very well that he was already disadvantageous in the fortified city. If the troops in his hands are lost too much, although he defeats the Xia army, I am afraid that he will not be able to stay in Korea.

Although North Korea is a small country, it is a country after all, and this great war is not the Chu River and Han borders, but the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The existence of the DPRK must not be ignored.

And although the winter has passed, all parts of Korea, especially Namsando, have recovered one after another, and many soldiers have been recruited, although they cannot fight. But in terms of numbers, there is a lot of money.

With these people here, Azig can't make a rash decision and make a desperate bet.

"Lord Wang, the Xia army has always been extremely cautious, and even a little rigid, it is said that the regulations in the army of the southerners even have requirements on how to be on the side, and the various departments of the Xia army have not been broken by night attacks." Bolo whispered, "And even if you let them go, it may not be without benefits." ”

Azig listened and said, "What's the benefit? ”

Bolo said: "Lord, now there is no food and grass in Hancheng, there are already people who go out at night to report, the Xia army has come from afar, how much grain and grass can they bring, why don't you let them into the city, and then the cliff will be surrounded for a long time, within two months, they will either desperately break through, so we will wait for the wall, we will definitely want them to look good, if they don't break through, they will be trapped to death." We don't have to do anything anymore. ”

Azig's face was a little better, but it was only a little.

Bolo's words are very good, and they may be very convincing to some civilian officials who have not been on the battlefield, but not very convincing to Azig.

Because they know, no matter how much they say

The flowers are full of flowers, and in the end, this battle still has to be fought one battle at a time. Not by tongue.

However, everyone loves to listen to good words, and what Bolo said is not without any reason, so he naturally listens to Bolo.

Seeing that Azig did not refute, Bolo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "The most important thing now is to ask for reinforcements from Jingshi. ”

Azig's brows, which had been somewhat loose, were huddled together again. said: "Please help? He was a little hard at the mercy of this, he was proud of himself, and he didn't think Dorgon was much better than him. When he sent out the army, he had a good talk with Dorgon, but now he wants to invite troops, which is naturally indelible at the same time.

"Anyway, this North Korea can't stay," Bolo said. And the soldiers we brought were not enough to destroy North Korea. Coupled with the intervention of the Southern Dynasties, there was only one way to ask for troops. ”

The union of the DPRK and the South Korea is already ironclad. Even if we conquer Seoul now, we may not be able to change that.

Bolo is also very self-aware, knowing that they are actually unpopular in North Korea.

And the Manchu Qing Dynasty decided not to allow it, and Korea became a springboard for the Xia army to attack Liaodong, so there was only one way, and that was to destroy the Korean country.

It's just that, no matter what, North Korea is a big country in the eastern part of the sea and has an orderly inheritance. Where it can be easily destroyed, even if it can be destroyed, it is not something that tens of thousands of horses can do.

Recruiting soldiers is an inevitable trend.

Bolo still has something to say, he actually feels that the battle of Seoul has been a strategic failure. At this moment, it should not be entangled in the city of Seoul, but to appease the north of Korea, so that the manpower and material resources of the north of Korea can be used by the Qing court to reduce the pain of transshipment.

It is also ready for a long-term relationship with Xia Jun in the future.

He had an intuition that was nothing else, but that he felt that the prolongation of the Korean War was a foregone conclusion. If the Qing army could not win the naval battle and cut the alliance between the two sides, it would not be easy for Korea to settle down.

Azig pondered for a while, and finally sighed and said, "Just listen to you." Let them enter Seoul, and when they enter the city, I will recruit the Korean people in the vicinity, and I will build a long wall outside Seoul. ”

"Wow." Bolo said.

These movements of the Qing court were not known to Xia Jun.

Therefore, when the Xia army cautiously continued to advance early the next morning, because there was no onlookers from the Qing army, it was still a little uncomfortable.

The Qing army did not stop it, and the Koreans naturally communicated with Zhou Fuchen.

When the news reached Seoul, countless people in Seoul were elated. This is in the entire Seoul since the invasion of the Qing army

One of the best news I've ever heard.

The king of Joseon, who was named the king of Han, was even more overjoyed. Grateful for the look of tears.

And Zhou Chang's status is even higher, in Seoul, the power is almost close to the king of Han, the king of Han is eager to eat and live with Zhou Chang, Mr. Yanbi, and the king of retreat is Xiao Wang. Zhou Chang is almost the uncrowned king of Seoul. However, Zhou Chang will not be confused by such treatment. He knew that the reason why he had such treatment was that of course he had the merit of preserving Seoul, but it was more about the face of Great Xia.

Moreover, after the army entered the city, Zhou Chang did not represent the rights of Great Xia, which of them was just an ordinary Great Xia official. There is no such thing as today.

But Zhou Chang couldn't be happy.

Because he deeply understands the internal situation of Seoul and knows that the morale of the Seoul army is almost on the verge of collapse. At this time, the arrival of reinforcements in Daxia was naturally a shot in the arm for the Koreans. But will this Seoul, which is on the verge of collapse, really be able to keep it after the army enters?

Will it have become a dead place?

Although Luo Yulong was defeated by the Qing army and suffered a terrible defeat, Zhang Xuan's descendants were men and horses, and he fought with the Qing army, and there were few examples of annihilation. He was worried that if he was not careful, this Seoul would become the burial place of the 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers of the Xia army.

It's just that no matter how worried he is now, it is impossible to say it and shake the morale of the army. Only a grand welcome ceremony could be organized. King Han personally went out to greet Zhou Fuchen's army at the gate of the city. looks like a subordinate, but Zhou Fuchen is not suspicious. On the contrary, he was quite polite, he knew that according to Zhang Xuan's plan, there would be more times when North Koreans would be used in the future, and it would be best to establish a good relationship first.

As soon as the army entered Seoul, it was ordered by Zhou Fuchen to repair it.

In the past few days, whether it was marching or fighting, the Xia army was stretched up and down, and it was a luxury to eat dry food, snow water, and even a little hot water.

It's easy to get to a safe place, so it's time to fix it up. It can be regarded as a reward for the soldiers, after all, a string is too tight and easy to break.

One gallop is also the way of civil and military.

It's just that the big war is imminent, and Zhou Fuchen didn't ask for anything too much, just wine and meat, a house, hot water, and a room that was warm enough.

However, in Zhou Fuchen's opinion, this is a very simple request, but he doesn't want King Han to be unable to do it. The houses are all there, but the wood is not. There was still a little bit of wine, but no meat.

This surprised Zhou Fuchen, only then did he know what had come to him in Seoul, and his heart sank, and he realized that entering Seoul was probably not the end of this Korean War, but the beginning of a new war.

This battle is not easy to fight.
