Since he had a two-day holiday, of course Zhong Nam didn't plan to waste it, he finally went out of the country, and it was a pity not to go around, he planned to find Chen and Cui and travel to Pyongyang City.

As soon as the three of them met, Cui Dazheng couldn't wait to tell the news he heard, "Do you know, we have won a big battle this time, and I heard that nearly 2,000 Japanese soldiers were beheaded, and more than 10,000 were burned or drowned. ”

"Almost, I heard that there are more than 19,000 people guarding Pyongyang, and we have wiped out two-thirds of them this time!" It seems that Chen Kepeng has also learned a lot of information.

"What about our casualties?" Zhong Nan was more concerned about this, after all, the dead and wounded Ming troops were all Chinese compatriots.

"Our casualties were not large, it is said that there were less than a thousand, but I heard that several generals were seriously wounded." Chen Kepeng replied.

"Which battalion?" Zhong Nan asked with concern.

"The general of the Shenji Battalion, surnamed Luo or something, he was hit in the abdomen by a rolling stone, and the old general Wu of Jizhou guerrilla was shot in the chest, and I can't remember the rest." It seems that Chen Kepeng knows a lot of news, Zhong Nan patronized and went to sleep, and at this moment he can only ask Chen and Cui for advice.

The local officials in Pyongyang are directing people to repair houses and city walls, and the people who came back first have also spontaneously helped each other, and some restaurants, teahouses, and stalls have also reopened. The three of them tasted some local snacks along the way, and then Zhong Nan proposed to go to Peony Peak in the north of the city to have a look.

Peony Peak is the main peak of Lao Ye Ridge in the north, also known as Tianling or Dajiazi Mountain, is the watershed of Mudanjiang River and Muling River, with an altitude of 1115 meters. The peony peaks are stacked on top of each other, because they resemble a blooming peony, so it is named, and it has been called one of the "Eight Views of Korea" since ancient times. In Chungnam's original time and space, there was a famous "Peony Peak Orchestra" in North Korea, which was deeply loved by the Kim leaders, and its name is said to come from this mountain.

The three of them went all the way to the north, and when they got out of the Mitai Gate, they saw this beautiful peak, Zhong Nan pulled Chen and Cui all the way to watch the flowers, and in a blink of an eye they came to the foot of Peony Peak. Probably because of the end of the war, there were not many people who came here to play during the Spring Festival, and the three of them went up the path, and it didn't take long for them to play almost completely, so they returned the same way.

When I was about to reach the bottom of the mountain, I noticed a strange man in the pavilion next to the road, wearing local Korean clothes, sitting motionless on a stone bench in the pavilion. The three of them took a closer look, it turned out to be a blind middle-aged man, in line with the principle that more things are better than less things, they glanced twice and then ignored them, and they didn't even stop their steps.

As soon as he walked in front of the blind man, the other party spoke: "May I ask if the three are from the Celestial Empire?" ”

Zhong Nan was stunned, there was no one nearby, if nothing else, the blind man should be talking to them. He stopped, turned his head and asked, "Are you talking to us?" ”

"Except for me, there are three of you nearby, so naturally I am talking to you!"

"How do you know we're three?" Choi Dae-jeong likes to raise the bar the most.

"If the eyes are blind, the ears will naturally be better!" The blind man's tone was calm.

Cui Dazheng still wanted to make another bar, but Zhong Nan stopped him, he was in the field, try not to cause more trouble. Zhong Nan planned to ignore the blind man anymore, but the other party's words shocked him.

"Three are soldiers from the Celestial Empire." The blind man's tone is not an inquiry, but a statement. Zhong Nanjue's matter is strange: there was no one in the pavilion when he went up the mountain, and it was only more than two hours before a blind man came, and it seemed that it was related to the three of them.

Zhong Nan didn't dare to be careless, so he came to the blind man and asked, "I don't know what Mr. has to say?" ”

The blind man seemed to be very interested in the title of "sir", and a smile appeared on his face, "Sir does not dare to be a blind fortune teller." ”

As soon as Cui Dazheng heard that the other party was a fortune teller, he suddenly became interested, and he walked up to the blind man loudly and stretched out his left hand. The blind man felt it, groped and shook his hand, and after touching it repeatedly, he signaled that he needed to touch his face, Cui Dazheng put his face up, and after some procedures, the blind man asked loudly: "Do you want to ask about the future or marriage?" ”

"Ask them all!"

The blind man knew that he couldn't shake the three of them without showing his hand, so he said loudly: "You lost your father when you were young, and now you have a mother and a sister at home, and you had a serious illness a few years ago," Hearing this, Cui Dazheng looked confused, and he knew that the blind man was right without asking. Although the blind man couldn't see the expressions of the three people, he paused, as if he was giving the three of them time to digest. After a while, he continued: "You will be in the army all your life, and then you will have the help of nobles in the near future, and your official luck will be good; As for marriage, good things will come in less than a year. ”

After speaking, the blind man ignored Cui Dazheng, and instead beckoned to the remaining two, "Who is next?" ”

Chen Kepeng looked at Zhong Nan and found that he didn't mean to step forward, so he walked to the blind man, stretched out his hand respectfully, and then leaned his face over, the blind man still groped as before, and then said proudly: "Your parents are both complete, but they are the only son in the family, they are good at gambling, and they will suffer a big loss in gambling in the future. ”

Chen Kepeng was also very confused, turned his head to look at Zhong Nan, signaled that the blind man was right, and asked respectfully after turning his head, "Sir, what else?" ”

The blind man sighed, "You will soon have a bloody disaster, but you will not have to worry about your life, but you will be disabled; As for marriage, you will meet someone who is destined after this disaster. ”

Chen Kepeng was still digesting this information, but the blind man spoke in the direction of Zhong Nan: "Do you want to give it a try?" ”

Zhong Nan looked at the stunned Chen Kepeng and Cui Dazheng, and the two nodded straight, he was not a hypocritical person, so he should have fun and relax, so he stepped forward and said, "Willing to give it a try." ”

The blind man motioned for Zhong Nan to come to him, or touched his hands first, and then his face, but this time, the blind man's movements were very slow, and he touched his hands for about ten minutes alone, and his face was repeatedly touched. Zhong Nan felt a chill in his heart: This blind man can't be an old glass, right? He looked at the blind man and found that the other party's expression was getting more and more serious, and he whispered to himself: "It's weird......"

Zhong Nan didn't speak, just regarded it as the usual method of the warlocks, and he didn't think about it, and wanted to hear what the blind man had to say first. After the blind man touched it, he was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, and then said in a solemn tone: "This soldier's life is too strange, I can't see through it!" ”

Zhong Nan let out a silent "oh", and the blind man said to himself the professional terms that Zhong Nan didn't understand, what three grids, what five elements, and what Ziwei......... After talking a lot, Zhong Nan understood a little: he has good luck and can be a big official, but his marriage is more troublesome, and there will be a peach blossom disaster; The most troublesome thing is that my fortune is very ethereal, and there are too many variables, in a word, everything is possible. Zhong Nan suddenly felt that there were 10,000 grass and mud horses running by, and thought that this flickering level could catch up with Teacher Zhao, but the last sentence of the blind man made him have to believe it again-"It stands to reason that you shouldn't exist in this world, but you just didn't know how to appear." This seemingly contradictory remark made Zhong Nan break out in a cold sweat: But isn't it, he traveled from more than 400 years later, shouldn't he exist?

The blind man repeatedly muttered "No, shouldn't ......", and left tremblingly on crutches, Zhong Nan was still shocked by the last sentence, and he didn't notice it at all. It was Cui Dazheng who pushed him to wake up, and he was about to pay the blind man, but found that the figures were gone.

"Zhong Nan, what does the fortune teller mean when he says you shouldn't show up?" Chen Kepeng asked.

"How do I know, gods and gods are chattering, charlatans are like this!" Zhong Nan couldn't explain, so he could only muddy the water, "It's hard that he inquired about the news of the two of you, I came from Suzhou to fill the army, and he couldn't find out the news, so naturally he could only talk nonsense!" ”

Chen and Cui were suspicious, and they didn't dig deeper, and they decided to settle their lives for free, as for believing it or not, it doesn't matter for the time being.

Indeed, the most important thing at the moment is the Great Crusade after a few days, followed by a two-day holiday followed by one practice day and a few meetings a day. The former is for soldiers and low-level generals, and the latter is the main daily work of middle- and high-level generals.

Zhong Nan is now a petty official, Shi Changting promoted him to be a sentry officer, and he is in charge of more than a hundred people, Chen Kepeng and Cui Dazheng took the initiative to join his sentry when they saw this, Zhong Nan let the two of them be captains, and the captain was one level higher than Shi Chang, so happy that Cui Dazheng couldn't keep his mouth shut.

On the twentieth day of the first month, the army of Li Rusong after the repair took advantage of the victory to pursue, and then recovered the old capital of Kaesong and a number of cities, so far, the three capitals and eighteen provinces have recovered Pyongyang, Kaesong two capitals and the Yellow Sea, Pyongan, Gyeonggi, Jiangyuan, and Hamjing five provinces. The army continued to march south and approached Seoul.

On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, the vanguard of the Ming army, 3,000 elite cavalry of the Cha Dashou Division, fought a fierce battle with the Japanese army Kato Kotai on the outskirts of Seoul, and the Japanese army was defeated and retreated. After that, the commander of the Japanese army, Kobayakawa Takakei, led an army of 20,000 generals to surround the Cha Dashou Department in the Bihokan. The Ming army relied on these 3,000 cavalry to fight a big battle with several times its own Japanese army, the battle was very tragic, and the Ming army relied on artillery, chariots and soldiers to see death as home, and fought a draw with the Japanese army. It's just that the Japanese army has too many troops, and it is difficult for Cha Dashou's troops to break through, and then Li Rusong led a thousand elite cavalry into the battle group, and he was also trapped in the encirclement of the Japanese army.
