455. Annoying puzzles

The greatest blessing in life is that you understand me, and I understand you.

Li Rusong received my letter, and it is said that he laughed happily in the big tent at that time, drank three cups of tea in a row, and patted his brothers Li Rumei and Li Rubai on the shoulders and shouted loudly! Good! Good!

It is said that after he laughed, he immediately replied to me the letter, which was the one I was holding in front of me.

Probably this means that my thoughts coincide with his, and he recently discovered that Hashiba Hideyoshi had recently relocated most of his forces to the north of the central line between the north and south of Goryeo, as long as it was to defend against Shibata Katsuie's army, which might be raided.

Today, there are only about 18,000 to 20,000 people in Pyongyang, and the fact that it was previously defended by Kuroda's son Kuroten Nagamasa has been replaced by Konishi Yukinaga, who has returned to the sea in recent days, which is also in line with what I said.

In his opinion, this expedition to help Goryeo expel the Japanese may not be a quick victory, so it is necessary to capture a fortified fortress first as a fulcrum for the subsequent attack.

On the one hand, the geographical situation is appropriate, and on the other hand, Pyongyang is the capital of Goryeo, and the significance of the capture is different from that of other cities, so my suggestion coincides with him, and he should reorganize his army and horses and step up preparations for the siege.

It's just that he has encountered some unexpected problems recently, and I hope I can share my worries.

First, the grain and grass are not continued, most of the Goryeo from the king to the hundred officials are mediocre and stupid, and it was originally said that the Goryeo people would provide some grain and grass, but at this time, the Goryeo officials said that there would be some grain and grass at that time, but because they fled in a hurry, they did not know where they were lost, so they could not provide enough grain and grass for the army to eat......

Second, the military situation is untrue. The information given by the Goryeo intelligence officer is distorted, believing that there are only more than 1,000 Japanese in Pyongyang and only a few hundred remnants of the enemy in the vicinity, but judging from the actual fighting situation recently, it is estimated that there are more than 5,000 Japanese in the vicinity of Pyongyang, and the number in Pyongyang is nearly 20,000.

Third, the command power is not exclusive. Except for a few people such as Yoo Sung-ryong and Yi Sun-sin, the rest of the Korean ministers hoped that the Ming army could be commanded by the North Korean generals, and repeatedly forced the Ming army to blindly send troops to Pyongyang when the time and place were favorable, but they were all forcibly vetoed by Li Rusong.

These stupid Koreans are extremely rusty in war, but their desire for power is great! Previously, he appointed Zu Chengxun to lead his troops to Pyongyang to investigate, and more than 500 Goryeo troops went with him......

The remaining 100 were mostly soldiers of the Dongying ethnic group and Goryeo origin. In the battle with the Dongying scouts, the Ming army was mostly wounded and killed by bows and arrows. However, according to North Korean intelligence, the Japanese only had iron cannons, long swords, and spears, and no archers!

Therefore, Zu Chengxun and others suspected that it was the Goryeo who shot the arrows, and once confronted the king of Goryeo. In the court, after repeated arguments by the Korean ministers, our side reluctantly accepted the North Korean explanation, that is, the military situation was wrong, and the investigation may not be true, as for the archery...... It may have been because Korean weapons had fallen into the hands of the Japanese or because Koreans had been taken prisoner......

After reading this letter, I really have mixed feelings in my heart. The Goryeo people, an inferior race, have been a laughing stock since ancient times, and in my previous life, while working as a cleaner, I was engaged in international trade as a side hustle and disguise. In that process, I didn't like to deal with Koreans, who were poor-quality, loud-voiced, selfish, narrow-minded, and had a strong sense of self-esteem or inferiority, and were very disgusting when trading.

I didn't expect to cross through and have to suffer from these people's nests! Holding the letter, I read it again, and then handed it to Lakshen, who read it, and then handed it to Hua Mei and Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao, and Kite and Lan finally read it and handed it back to me.

Everyone was silent, everyone had a look of surprise, and the atmosphere in the whole room was awkward for a while, which was really indescribable.

After a long time, the kite muttered in a low voice, "I have never seen such a brazen person...... As...... Why don't we go back to the West! The Koreans are so incompetent, why should they take risks for them? ”

As soon as she said this, everyone burst out laughing. Knowing that she was deliberately joking to liven up the atmosphere, no one else said much except that Arashi gently hammered her on the head to tell her not to talk nonsense.

Unexpectedly, the voice of the kite appeared, and it was Adikan who spoke! As one of the few non-Asians who can sit in the conference room, his thinking is actually very objective about the current situation.

"Admiral, I agree with what Miss Kite said. The most important thing in fighting a war is to choose the right allies, but these Koreans are obviously not. Of course, I understand your patriotic feelings, and I admire them very much, but the return on this investment is really low, so I would like to remind you to recognize this. ”

Adicon's Chinese is a little strange, but the logic is still clear, and we can understand it very clearly. His thoughts actually represent a large part of the thinking sitting in the cabin, which is why are we coming back to fight this battle? What is the value to us? What's the point?

I smiled, looked at Adicon, and then looked at everyone before I spoke: "Many of them are old people who have followed me early in the morning, Zhengxiao, you can talk about it." ”

The Nine Ghosts sat down and bowed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Sir, I understand your thoughts very well. When Mr. Zhang died, although he encouraged you to go overseas, two of the three last wishes were related to the survival of the Ming Dynasty. He advised you to leave, mostly to save your life first, and then come back to serve the country. ”

I was silent, listening to what the most confidant had to say. The Nine Ghosts continued: "Mr. is a person who is extremely loyal to righteousness, and I often hear him say: 'Do your best to make some contributions to the Han nation'. So I understand that Mr. Wanli returned to the Ming Dynasty all the way to foresee this battle and made a special trip back to save the Han nation from peril. ”

"I am not Han, but I am loyal to my husband's ambitions. He wants to fight this battle, and I have no objection! The only thought is how to carry out the decision of Mr. Good, and there is nothing else to think about! ”

The Nine Ghosts Masataka didn't make a loud voice, but it made everyone in the room shut their mouths. This young manager is usually very low-key, and many times people forget about his existence, but only me, and the first thing that comes to mind at any time is always this loyal Toei ninja......

I smiled faintly and said softly, "So tell me what you think, Zhengxiao." How to solve the current problem? ”

The Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao wanted to laugh but was embarrassed, and held back for a long time before he spoke: "Mr. must have an idea, he didn't say it himself, but he was ready to let me say it." ”

I couldn't help but smile curiously, "Oh? What do I have in mind, but you can tell me about it, and such a determined appearance makes me very interested. ”

The Nine Ghosts said with a smile: "Sir, I'm not complimenting you, in fact, you are really suitable for the ninja industry, and you will definitely become the best ninja, the king of ninjas!" I'm sure! ”

I slapped him: "Get down to business!" ”

The Nine Ghost Zhengxiao bared his teeth and said, "I have always considered it according to the way Mr. has always thought about it, but this matter is not difficult to deal with. ”

Then he said like this, and the people next to him looked strange, until the end, Hua Mei closed the coffin and concluded a sentence: "After listening to Zhengxiao, I believe that there is really a master and a servant!" ”

Everyone in the cabin laughed. After laughing for a long time, I shook my head and said, "Although Zhengxiao is suspected of slandering my name, the method he said may not be impossible." Come on, let's talk about it. ”

After discussion, I found out that all the sanctimonious guys on weekdays turned out to be the same insidious and dirty in their hearts. Of course, the effect is also obvious, our plan has been effectively improved and improved, and the level of disgusting has been raised by more than one notch, which is really speechless.

I finalized some more details, and the next morning, I wrote back to Li Rusong, informing him of my idea, and if there was no objection, I would follow it.

I don't know what Li Rusong's mood was when he got the letter, but when I saw the font on his reply, I could guess that this old brother was very happy.

It probably means that everything will be done according to my ideas, and he will do his best to cooperate. As for the attack on Pyongyang, we will talk about it after the current issue is resolved.

Naturally, I had no objection, and on the third day after receiving his reply, I let the batch of rice that I had not regretted going to Nanyang to buy arrived, and it was roughly estimated that it was enough for Li Rusong's 40,000 people to consume more than two months!

I didn't say much, so I directly asked Wu Fei to send it to Li Rusong, and by the way, I took the two thousand Guan Ning Tieqi and Ye Sizhong who stayed over there to come back. It's going to be a war, and I need this great force.

Of course, at the same time, I also sent a team of fifty ninjas, led by Mo, to help scout and obtain as real information as possible about both Hashiba Hideyoshi and Shibata Katsuie.

When the time came, the entire land of Goryeo was covered with heavy snow again. I don't know how the Shibata Katsuya army is doing, but according to Mo's intelligence, these poor guys are frugal, demoralized, and very pitiful.

I am such a kind person, and I am very sympathetic when I hear this, and besides, the New Year is coming soon, should I give them a big gift?

Yushiba Hideyoshi's side of the soldiers is frequently transferred, presumably to prevent being stabbed in the back by Shibata Katsuie, and he looks loose on the outside and tight on the inside, which is what I expected.

Li Rusong has become the most difficult one in several directions, under the harassment of the stupid and cute monarchs and ministers of Goryeo, he only seems to be fighting countless enemies every day, and he is even more emaciated than him!

It is said that because the Goryeo monarch did not agree to send troops immediately, he had made up a lot of jokes, some said that Li Rusong was timid and cowardly, some said that Li Rusong was greedy for life and afraid of death, and the funniest thing was that Li Rusong was bought by the Dongying people and was ready to establish himself as the king and replace the Li dynasty of Goryeo!

All in all, these rumors spread everywhere and could not be controlled, making Li Rusong "whine" every day in his big camp waving his sword, trying to relieve his urge to kill!

I can understand the feeling of helplessness, it's like a toad jumping on its feet, obviously it can be trampled to death with one kick, but it's the pet of the big boss! So I can only watch it excrete on my own upper, but there is no way to do it!

Until the afternoon of the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Li Rusong suddenly received a letter!

His constipated face suddenly bloomed with beautiful flowers, as if a man who had been thirsty for ten years suddenly got into the hands of a stunning goddess!

Of course, I won't be as shallow as he is and write everything on his face. What I had to do was to send a bunch of people to land in a small boat from a location near Sinuiju without a word......
