Winter is a great time to recuperate, not only for foxes, insects, and snakes, but also for humans.

But unfortunately, this winter in Goryeo is not destined to be peaceful.

Especially for the warring parties, it was a difficult winter, and for many people it was even the hardest winter in their lives, and of course many people stopped there, and this winter became an eternity.

According to the algorithm of the lunar calendar, as soon as the lunar month entered, goose feather snow began to fall in the sky, and the merciless snow seemed to wipe everything off the entire ground, regardless of it.

Of course, this is also to blame Goryeo's own territory is too narrow, and if you are not careful, there is snow in the whole country today, and there is no one in this case.

Sometimes looking at the snow, I even think that if their territory is really as big as that of the modern stick "historian" YY, they are not afraid of a little snow, but if I think about it deeply, in that case, they are only afraid that the battle with Dongying will be a small friction at most, not even a large-scale local war, and there is no need to work so hard.

Li Rusong's troops, with their younger brother of Goryeo, took advantage of the internal strife between the two armies of Dongying to retreat, and occupied several counties of Loathyeon, Longchuan, and Yanzhou, and the North Pyongan Province basically returned to the jurisdiction of the Goryeo Kingdom, while the troops of the Ming Dynasty army were directed at Pyongyang, ready to help the Goryeo people recover the country at any time.

But the heavy snow hindered Li Rusong's further actions, after all, the snow was indiscriminate, and there would be no favoritism for anyone.

Although it is said that with the assistance of my sea route, Li Rusong's logistical supply has not been a big problem, with food, drink, and padded jackets, but it is too cowardly to be unable to stand up to the Koreans, not to mention bringing his own dry food to help him fight, and also to provide relief to these organized refugees, which is really laughable.

Li Rusong scratched his head quite a bit about this situation, and he sent people to ask me several times if he would also go ashore to help him share the heavy responsibility of "maintaining internal security", but I refused without hesitation on the grounds that "the pressure on logistical support is huge."

Of course, when he really couldn't play, I still persuaded Brother Ye Sizhong to pull him, which was considered to be a moral fulfillment.

After discussion between me and Ye Sizhong, the four thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry were divided into two, half followed him ashore to garrison, and the other half followed me, contacting me about the "Marine Warfare" tactics, and changing the defense every month, so that everyone would have an opportunity to experience and learn.

So on the whole, the situation on the side of the Ming Dynasty is generally stable, although the bear children of Goryeo continue their best infighting like a resurgence, but under the double pressure of Li Rusong and Ye Sizhong, it should be said that they can't make any big moves.

But Toei's side is a completely different situation - three times in a row, no matter how Uesugi Keikatsu evades, I will accurately find the route and use the advantage of the fleet to defeat the logistics supply fleet led by him!

Although some supplies can be delivered to the front line, they are a drop in the bucket compared to the needs of more than 100,000 people.

More than 100,000 people, that is, more than 100,000 mouths, and more than 100,000 sets of clothes and weapons, all of which need to be maintained, but I cut off the logistics supply route, which makes Shibata Katsuya very stretched.

At first, Shibata Katsuya also suspected that the Ming Dynasty was making trouble, but the sixty-year-old general soon discovered that only the logistics supply of Shibata's army was cut off, and Yushiba Hideyoshi's army still had good security and supplies!

The last "friction" between the two sides at the city of Uiju was superficially revealed, and the reason given by Shimazu Yoshihisa and Mori Terumoto was that they did not know that there would be friendly troops there, and thought that they were reinforcements from the Koreans.

Although there are still flaws of one kind or another, the logic is complete - Shibata Katsuie, in order to seize time, did not explain his plan to send troops north to the Hashiba Hideyoshi army, and Date Masamune's army was completely like it came out of the ground without warning!

As for the news he heard that the emperor decided to use Hashiba Hideyoshi to capture Yishu Castle and grant Hideyoshi the post of Sekihaku, it could only rot in his stomach, so the losses of those thousands of people at the beginning could only be eaten secretly, and there was no chance to attack if he wanted to.

But the current situation is different from that incident, it is obvious that both armies are replenished by sea, after all, they entered Goryeo in the summer, which also led to the fact that this year's crops in Goryeo were unpicked up and all rotted in the ground, and it was impossible to replenish them on the spot, so they could only rely on the rear.

However, it is more bizarre that the only family was attacked continuously, and the other family was not affected at all - or rather, the situation is very clear, in Shibata Katsuie's opinion, there are only two possibilities for this situation, one is that Hashiba Hideyoshi used the forces of the Nine Demons Yoshitaka and Chozong Ibu Motoko who are good at water warfare to attack their own supplies, and want to draw money from the bottom of the kettle.

The other is that Hideyoshi has reached an agreement with some third-party forces, and the bargaining chip is Shibata Katsuya himself!

Either of these two situations is unacceptable to Shibata Katsuie. He could accept defeat on the battlefield, but he couldn't allow this kind of violation of the rules to exist and a black hand behind his back - of course, his sending troops north without permission was regarded as a tactic by him, not a black hand - so he decided to ask Hideyoshi Hashiba for an explanation.

In other words, he wants to expose Hideyoshi Hashiba's despicable and ugly face in front of the world!

But in this world where strength is paramount, morality, that is the most worthless thing, wanting to defeat the other party through public opinion is like a fool's dream, not to mention that it is better than lip service, I am afraid that ten Shibata Katsuya tied together is not the opponent of Yushiba Hideyoshi!

If you can't write it, you will naturally come to martial arts. Shibata Katsuie, who was born as a military general, did not have a difficult time making this decision. Especially when supplies are becoming more and more scarce, and his soldiers have begun to restrict their diet and control rationing ratios, many things about the rules are not so important.

After the negotiations between the two sides were fruitless, some small-scale frictions began to occur, most of these frictions were provoked by Shibata Jun, Yu Chai Jun didn't know what was going on at first, why this "competitor" suddenly ignored the rules, and was very tough to push back, but this top was not only a big problem!

At the intersection of the two armies near Tetsuhara-gun, Shibata Katsutoyo, the adopted son of the Shibata Katsu family, was in charge of garrisoning here, and he gathered nearly half of the cavalry troops of the Shibata army, and the consumption was also the greatest.

High consumption means high supply demand, but waiting for the eyes can't wait for logistics supplies, and gradually Shibata Katsutoyo began to be tight. I wrote to my adoptive father Katsuya several times, but the reply I got was to wait a little longer, and there would be supplies soon.

However, left and right, waited, and waited, and instead of waiting for supplies, they waited for heavy snow!

What kind of mood is it in the ice and snow, and the ammunition is exhausted? Shibata Katsutoyo was already known for his poor management skills, and in such a situation, he was increasingly unable to suppress the grumbling soldiers. Many soldiers no longer cared about discipline and began to march towards the surrounding countryside, robbing the villagers of their property and food, but they were met with fierce resistance!

And in just half a month, an organized resistance army gathered around Tieyuan County, which specifically stabbed Shibata Katsutoyo's troops in the back, and was familiar with the terrain and elusive, and Shibata Katsutoyo was embarrassed.

So what do they get? It's just a few days' rations, and beyond that, there is only the enemy who sees the dragon every day.

At this time, no matter how stupid Shibata Katsutoyo was, he saw that his adoptive father was not capable of saving him, so he began to figure out a way by himself. On a dark and windy night, he listened to the advice of a few of his subordinates and moved his gaze to a supply depot of the Yuchai Army twenty miles north of his station!

They were the ones who robbed them of their supplies! Now I want them back!

Shibata Katsutoyo thought so, so he took thousands of his incomplete cavalry and raided the supply depot of the Yuchai Army in the rear overnight!

How many people can be stationed in a supply depot, let alone in the rear. But the people who stick to this place also have their own responsibilities, if they don't resist, they will lose their supplies, and they are afraid that they will die if they go back.

Therefore, the battle broke out without any suspense! Possessing superior forces, launching surprise attacks, being all cavalry, and dying if you can't grab food, these conditions converge and doom the defensive force of the Yuchai army to face a tragedy.

So the result was as expected, the defenders of the stronghold of the Yuchai army were cleaned, and a few clever and clever guys desperately escaped and went to report the situation to the surrounding friendly forces - the Shibata army had made a move! The Shibata Army has done it to us in defiance of the agreement!

This act is like pouring a spoonful of water into an open oil pot! One can imagine the intense anger of Hideyoshi Hashiba when he heard the news. He immediately sent his cronies to Seoul to meet Shibata Katsuie and ask him why he had attacked his rear despite the agreement between the two sides.

Shibata Katsuya has also just received the news and is scratching his head about it. Originally, he still had some scruples about the gamble set by the emperor, and felt that he could not "fire the first shot", otherwise he would stand in an unrighteous position, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to wash away in the future.

Who knew that the adopted son couldn't bear it, so he went to rob it first, and it was robbed! Originally, when he was angry, he asked Shibata Katsutoyo to come to his own debriefing, but in fact, he wanted to take down this rebel in one fell swoop and punish him severely. But when he saw the large amount of supplies sent by Shibata Katsutoyo, he hesitated.

With 100,000 people under his command, he can't eat, so what rules do he care?

It was at this time that Hideyoshi Hashiba sent an envoy to condemn the banditry of the Shibata Katsuie.

This completely ignited the anger in Shibata Katsuie's heart! He immediately ordered to behead the envoys! All-out attack on the logistics troops of the Yuchai Army!

They rob us at sea, and we rob them on land!

This is the slogan shouted by Shibata Jun, and under the blessing of the double aura of cold and hunger, it immediately bursts out with great power!

Almost overnight, all the barracks at the junction of the Yuchai Army and the Shibata Army changed hands, and a large amount of materials in the middle fell into the mouth of the Shibata Army, alleviating the urgent need of freezing and starvation!

However, for the whole war, this is tantamount to drinking water to quench your thirst - Hashiba Hideyoshi originally wondered who was helping him, and even suspected that Shibata Katsuya was playing a bitter meat trick!

As a result, he suddenly received Shibata Katsu's attack on his camp, pulled out fifteen villages in one night, and approached the hinterland, and immediately completely confirmed the image of Shibata Katsu's thief shouting to catch the thief in his heart, and prepared to fight back with all his strength, and settle the old feud over the years in this Goryeo land!

It can be said that at this time, the big war between the two sides is about to break out, as long as the arrow in the hand of Yushiba Hideyoshi lands, it can be regarded as an order for a full-scale attack, and a fish death net is almost about to start within the two armies of Dongying!

However, this hand was stopped in the air, and in the surprised gaze of Yushiba Hideyoshi, he saw that it was no one else who stopped him, it was his top strategist and the only remaining fruit in the "Yushiba Liangbei" - Kuroda Rusui!
