The Liaodong Army in Dandong has been making intensive movements, adjusting the location of the camp back and forth, but no matter where they camp, they always take concealment as the first priority, and always hide in the dense woods along the coast.

The spies have been released, and they have penetrated to a position of thirty miles on the other side of the Yalu River, and the position of the Eastern and Western armies has basically been determined, including their main position, the position of reinforcements, and the position of logistics.

However, judging from the current situation, it is not easy to sneak past the main force of the enemy army to attack the grain and grass, and it is no less difficult than directly defeating the Western army with the Shimazu family and the Mori family as the main force.

Li Rusong is worthy of being an expert in war, he is very cautious to pay attention to the movements of the Dongying people, and at the same time he is waiting for the appointed time node.

Thick cotton robe, with a layer of animal skin on the outside, Li Rusong sat in front of the half-sealed fire, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand.

This is the way of drinking the Jurchens, as a person who grew up in the Northeast and has been dealing with the Jurchens all year round, he is naturally no stranger to such a way of life. took another sip of milk tea, tore a mouthful of air-dried beef, and chewed vigorously in his mouth.

The footsteps coming and going are not heavy, and no one will make excessive noise under the premise of sound control. However, at this moment, a rapid sound of footsteps suddenly came, which obviously overpowered the surrounding sounds.

Li Rusong raised his head, it was his own brother Li Rumei. The general in charge of the Li family's intelligence work sat opposite the eldest brother, took a big sip of milk tea, and when he grinned his teeth, he showed an ugly smile, and two words popped out of his mouth: "It's moving!" ”

The cup in Li Rusong's hand tightened, and his eyes lit up and asked, "Oh! Seriously? ”

Li Rumei nodded and said in a low voice: "Sun Qilan's methods are not simple, and he really made that side move, which is definitely beneficial to us." ”

Li Rusong slammed the cup in his hand on the table, looked deeply at his brother for a long time, and suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Is it frozen?" ”

Li Rumei smiled and said excitedly: "Firmly! "What the Li brothers are talking about is the turbulent Yalu River, if you want to cross the river, the frozen Yalu River is the best channel!

Li Rusong stared at Li Rumei again, and then turned his head and shouted in a low voice behind him: "Order!" Dispatch troops! Soldier Yalu River! ”

The Liaodong Legion was like a rabbit lying motionless in the grass for a long time, ready to hunt, and suddenly moved!

They quickly set up their tents, prepared for battle with nervousness, agility and silence, waved their flags, and completed their preparations for battle in only 40 minutes, and the whole army of 40,000 people turned into four teams and began to march in the northeast direction.

Since it was evening, when the temperature began to drop and the cold rose, the whole team of soldiers and horses was tightly wrapped, and on the way to gallop, everyone had a faint layer of fog on their heads. Sweat trickled down from under the cotton hat at the corner of his forehead and slowly slid into the neckline.

No one was silent, these soldiers of the Liaodong Army knew very well that they were ten times their own Japanese in front of them, and they were fighting alone, without backup!

However, there was no fear or fear in the hearts of these soldiers. They are all natives of Northeast China, they know every grass and tree here, and they have deep experience in snow survival.

They also know that behind them is the fertile soil of the motherland, their wives and children, their fathers and villagers. If the 500,000 enemies in front of him capture Goryeo and attack the northeast along the Yalu River, it will be a catastrophe for their homeland!

Therefore, almost everyone made up their minds to die, and before sending out the army, everyone also wrote a suicide note. These suicide notes were all in duplicate, one in his arms, and the other in the captain's hands. This at least increases the chances that you will be able to send the news back if you are killed.

Li Rusong was the main general, walking in the middle with the Chinese army, and the leader of the front army was Li Rumei, who was carrying an iron-tired longbow. He dressed lightly all his life and dressed as a scout, but also to better hide himself.

When we arrived at the dense forest near the river, it was about four watches, which was the coldest and darkest time of the day. Li Rumei saw the figure in front of her flash, but the signal she gave was her own. With a wave of his hand, the scout quickly went up to connect.

They had been lurking at the junction of the two countries for two days and two nights, and they had also infiltrated the other side in turn, and took turns to pass the news back.

Li Rumei got the news he wanted, and now the outside of Yizhou City has been surrounded by the Eastern and Western Army, but the situation is not very urgent, but it seems that the two sides have a tacit understanding, the attacker is unhurried, and the defender is very calm.

......

As the two giants of the vanguard of the Western Army, Mori Terumoto and Shimazu Yoshihisa are not stupid, and no one knows that the enemy will fight to the death at the end of the day. Then rush up and fight at this time, I am afraid that the loss is definitely not small.

But the key to their worries is not the enemy in front of them, the real enemy is probably not someone else, it is the friendly army on the side of their couch, and the main force of the Yuchai army after thirty miles, and the Shibata army in the south that has a gambling relationship!

This battle is destined to be won and has nothing to do with him, but he is absolutely annexed by the so-called friendly forces if he loses the battle. Therefore, in this stall where you can't fight hard, everyone is very Buddhist.

The reason why he sent troops was to give face to Lord Yuchai, whose power was spread all over the west half of Dongying. Even if you mutter in your heart, you still have to do what you should do.

Therefore, when Shimazu Yoshihisa and Mori Terumoto discussed the matter of sending troops, in fact, everyone also tacitly agreed. One person chose a city gate and rushed to kill every day, but after more than ten days of fighting, the total number of casualties did not reach 200!

Such a paddling behavior naturally can't hide from the eyes of Yushiba Hideyoshi behind him, but Yushiba Hideyoshi is not in a hurry, and acquiesces to the two of them playing match-fixing. In his heart, no Goryeo or Li Han is his fundamental goal, and the biggest ambition in his heart is to take this opportunity to lead the old fox in the east into a trap, and if he hits it hard in one fell swoop, he can be like a bamboo and take down the entire Dongying!

To be the master of the world, this is the fundamental purpose of Yushiba Hideyoshi, so now the two main vanguard forces in front of him are unusually cowardly, but it is in line with the requirements in his heart to attract real enemies!

You must know that the first two armies only took two months from landing in Goryeo to hitting Uiju, but they were instigated for more than half a month under this small broken city.

However, I don't know why, although he has already invaded the castle of Uishu, as long as he wins the castle, he will win the bet between himself and Shibata Katsuie, according to the bet made by the emperor, the losing side will bow down, but why is Shibata Katsuya not in a hurry and has been holding his troops steadily?

Hashiba Hideyoshi was a little annoyed in his heart, it seems that Shibata Katsuya's rough man didn't intend to abide by the emperor's bet at all, but was ready to break the contract and attack himself!

But what can you do? Since the chaos in the world, the emperor is just a symbolic existence, and the real win or loss depends on strength, if he really loses the bet, will he really throw down his weapon and surrender to Shibata Katsuya? Inexistent!

So with oneself, how can the old fox Shibata Katsuya be so simple? Therefore, the biggest victory or defeat at this time is not the choice of Yishu Castle, but the strategic game with Shibata Katsuka.

......

In this context, Li Han in Yizhou City also got a rest, but he didn't dare to put the little heart in his stomach back into place. The reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty said that they had arrived, but why didn't they show up for a long time? Could it be that they are too cowardly and incompetent, causing them to prepare to release the water and kill people with knives to kill themselves?

Seeing that his subordinates, the Easterners and the Westerners, were still arguing over whether to fight or surrender or run, Li Han's heart was very depressed. These damned partisans, quarrel in peacetime, quarrel in war; Noisy when the strong are strong, noisy when the weak are weak.

Their men never died well, and there was never right or wrong in their hearts. If I hadn't pretended to be crazy and stupid for so many years, and I had been impartial to both parties, I was afraid that I would have been like my father, grandfather and ancestors and "died of a violent disease"!

But now, the Dongying Japanese outside the city are still attacking the city, although it is not too violent, but it is always like a sharp sword on the top of the head, which makes people sleep uncomfortably. It's hateful that people from both sides of the party are still arguing for interests, don't they know and don't understand the truth that there are eggs under the nest? The books of the sages are all read in the belly of the dog! No wonder the Ming Dynasty has always looked down on Goryeo, saying that the Gaoli people are as stupid as pigs and blind as dogs, but it is not completely degraded!

"It is okay to die in the kingdom of the Son of Heaven, not to die at the hands of thieves." Li Han secretly said in his heart, once the city is broken, he will immediately go south into exile, even if he goes to the Ming Dynasty to be the king of the fallen country, he must not fall into the hands of these widows!

Just when Li Han's heart was in turmoil, a small yellow door suddenly came from behind him, walked to Li Han's side, bowed down and quietly handed over a note.

Li Han's heart moved, this was a communication method agreed with Wu Weizhong, the guerrilla general of the Ming Dynasty. He gently unfolded the note with a hundred officials on his back, but saw that there were four big words written on it, "Counterattack tonight"!

Li Han's hands shook and he almost dropped the note to the ground! His unusual appearance immediately attracted the attention of the hundred officials. Dasi Xian Yin Doushou asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, but is there the latest military information?" ”

The eyes of the hundred officials were focused on this king, who had always seemed to be six gods and no master, but at this time he was quite strange. Li Han was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Inform Li Sunsin, prepare for both battle and departure!" Liu Du is an observer! ”

The important generals below all noticed that Liu Chenglong immediately saluted, and Li Han arranged in a hoarse voice: "If there is any movement outside the city tonight, you should act as appropriate." Just make sure to keep the royal family and ministers safe! ”

Liu Chenglong has been in the army for decades, and when he heard it, he knew that something would happen tonight, and in surprise, he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, but ...... in the south?"

Li Han blinked, and Liu Chenglong immediately understood to shut up. In the heart of this poor king, he has no more than a handful of people under his control, but no one else can afford to offend! These other idlers, mediocre people, lack of success, more than failure, but they can still only provide them high, let them quarrel, if you want to move any of them, I am afraid that if you don't wait for the Dongying people to come in, you will blow up the pot first!

When the situation is too peaceful, we must rectify the interior! Li Han thought about it hatefully, but he didn't know that the arrival of this day would be a few years away......

Liu Chenglong was like a mirror in his heart, knowing that the king didn't want those bad people to know the inside story, so he saluted Li Han and said, "Obey, Your Majesty!" Ministers should go to the city to ensure that the city is safe! ”

After speaking, he turned around and strode away under the attention of hundreds of officials.

Li Han looked at Liu Chenglong's back, thinking about the last naval army hidden in the shadows by Li Sunsin behind him, and the Ming army that had arrived at the Yalu River in the informant, his originally cold heart once again ignited a faint hope to turn the situation around!
