Huai'anjun's mansion, when he was a child.

Huai'anjun Li Fanggan yawned, stretched his waist and said: "Jin Yizheng, tomorrow Benjun will go to meet the envoy, you have to help Benjun take care of it at home." ”

"Definitely, definitely!" The leader of the council hurriedly said.

Just as the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and were about to eat something, they heard the sound of killing outside the mansion. Li Fanggan was furious: "Come on, go and see what's going on?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the guard Quan Wu rushed in with his head scattered, and shouted breathlessly: "Dajun, go quickly, Jing Anjun's men and horses have already attacked the mansion, hurry up, it will be too late." ”

What the? Li Fanggan's eyes darkened, his body shook, and Jin Quan next to him hurriedly supported him: "Dajun, hurry up." ”

"Let's go? Where to go? Li Fanggan said urgently.

"Lord, now that the situation is urgent, you can only make a desperate bet, you immediately go to the Beicheng military camp, gather the two thousand elites of General Quan, and then rush into the palace to protect the king. After dawn, in the name of the king, he called on the whole city to crusade against Jing Anjun, and the odds were good. ”

"But ......"

"There's no other way than to run ......"

Jin Quan's words were not finished, but he was suddenly stunned, but Li Fanggan immediately interrupted him: "Nonsense! Then he turned around and said to Quan Wu: "Quan Wu, you immediately go to the Beicheng military camp, let your father attack the palace, and this monarch is waiting for him at the north gate of the palace, as long as you can break through the palace, this monarch will be rewarded." ”

"But, Maharaja, are you safe?"

"It doesn't matter to Benjun, you bring a few more people," Li Fanggan glanced at the guards and pointed with his hand: "You, you, and you go with Quan Wu, by the way, you, it's you, change into Benjun's clothes, and go to the Beicheng camp together." ”

"Yes, Maharaja."

Kwon Wu and the others took the order and left.

Li Fanggan observed the situation a little, and immediately ordered a fire to be set in the front yard, the fire was raging, and immediately blocked the offensive of Li Fangyuan's army, but at the same time, there were shouts of killing from the back door.

Li Fanggan ordered to continue the arson, and after a while, the entire Huai'an Dajun Mansion was on fire, and in the end, both the attacking Li Fangyuan's army and the defending Li Fanggan's army withdrew from the Huai'an Junfu, and watched the Huai'an Junfu turn into ashes.

Looking at the fire in front of him, Bian Zhongliang, who was in charge of the attack, had a blue face, and just now his subordinates reported that Huai Anjun escaped over the wall with people, but he was stopped by himself and only ran a few guards. Bian Zhongliang was overjoyed and praised his subordinates, but what he didn't expect was that this Huai Anjun was a fake, and according to the captive, Huai Anjun should still be in the mansion. But now that the fire is scorching, is Huai Anjun burned to death inside? Thinking of this, Bian Zhongliang scolded secretly: Which rabbit cub lit the fire, and when he found Lao Tzu, he had to kill him. Huai Anjun and Dajun are brothers, and Dajun doesn't want to kill him, but just wants him to give up his military power, but, now, how can he explain to Dajun.

When Bian Zhongliang was entangled, Li Fangyuan's messenger arrived, ordering him to immediately reinforce the palace, Quan Xiping of the Beicheng battalion led the troops out of the camp, but did not come to Huai'an Junfu, but rushed to the palace to kill, and now it is approaching the palace, and the other reinforcements have not had time to arrive, so they can only rely on him.

When Bian Zhongliang's army arrived, Quan Xiping was attacking the imperial city with the army, Li Fangyuan personally sat in the town, but the number was not large, the situation was already precarious, Bian Zhongliang immediately ordered the army to attack Quan Xiping from behind, Quan Xiping was caught off guard, the whole army was in chaos, Li Fangyuan saw this, sent someone to open the palace gate, rushed out, and the enemy Quan Xiping and Quan Wu died in the chaos, and the rest surrendered.

Although Quan Xiping was pacified, Li Fangyuan was not happy, he didn't know why Quan Xiping wanted to storm the palace, and the prisoners were not clear, only that Quan Xiping was ordered by Li Fanggan, the king of Huai'an. However, Li Fangyuan was very sure that Li Fanggan was not in the palace, so where did he go?

When he heard about the fire in Huai'an Mansion and what the fake Li Fang had done, Li Fangyuan was shocked and immediately ordered people to inspect the city gates to see if anyone was out of the city tonight, but all the city gates reported that no one had left the city.

Although he didn't get Li Fanggan's whereabouts, Li Fangyuan didn't have time to think at this time, he had too much to do, that night, he ordered his cronies to control the whole city, no one was allowed to go out, and at the same time sent Li Shu to the whole city to contact the ministers, saying that Huai'anjun Li Fanggan wanted to plot to kill Jing'anjun, Jing'anjun had to preemptively, and didn't want Huai'anjun to see the matter exposed, ashamed, self-immolation and death, please don't worry about the ministers, etc., at the same time he stayed in the palace overnight to appease the frightened second brother.

The next day, Li Shu led his ministers to the table and suggested that Li Fangguo be in the Zen position, and the frightened Li Fangguo happily agreed to the Zen position. So before the sun set, the thirty-two-year-old Li Fangyuan became the third king of the Lee family's Joseon, rightfully in power.

This day is March 15 of the third year of Jianwen.

Zhuo Jing, Zhang Fu and Luo Kening said goodbye on Weihua Island, Zhuo Jing and Zhang Fu rushed to Kaesong by land, while Luo Kening went to Kaesong from the sea to meet Zhuo Jing in case of accidents.

After crossing the Yalu River, Zhuo Jing and the others felt as if they had arrived in a wild area, the surroundings were extremely desolate, and they could only see a village far away, and the population of the village was not large, most of them were Jurchens, and after seeing the banner of the Ming army, they avoided it far away and did not dare to approach. The Korean garrison once offered to escort the angels, but Zhuo Jing refused, as long as they provided food, grass and guides, the garrison generals did not dare to refute, so they had to agree, but still sent troops to follow from afar.

Zhang Fu led the troops cautiously, very carefully, and tried to live in the towns as much as possible, but North Korea was too desolate, and it was inevitable that when it was not suitable, he would have to live in the wilderness. But every time they live in the wilderness, they will encounter attacks, most of the attackers are Jurchens, they are skilled in arching and horses, familiar with the terrain, and fly in the wilderness, so that Zhang Fu is overwhelmed, even if Zhang Fu designed to teach them a few times, but can not expand the results, because the terrain is not familiar, do not dare to chase hard.

More than ten days later, Zhuo Jing and his party arrived at the west bank of the Qingchuan River, and Zhuo Jing wanted to cross the river, but was stopped by Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu looked at Anzhou on the other side, thought for a while, and said, "Wang Tiehan! ”

"In!"

"You take fifty people across the river, take the guards of Lord Qincha, go to the garrison of Anzhou, and order them to go out of the city to guard the ferry and protect the safety of Lord Qincha."

"Yes!"

Looking at the backs of Wang Tiehan and the others, Zhuo Jing was a little puzzled and said, "Wen Bi, what are you worried about?" ”

"The last general is worried that there is an ambush of the Jurchens on the other side."

"Huh?" Zhuo Jing was surprised: "How do you know? ”

"Adults don't know, the north of Anzhou is basically the territory of the Jurchens, but after Anzhou, but a hundred miles is the North Korean Xijing Pyongyang, all the way there are heavy guards, if the Jurchens still want to attack us, it must be near Anzhou, and the best place to attack here is the Qingchuan River in front of you."

"Why did the Jurchens attack us repeatedly along the way?"

"The last general is not good, it may be instigated by North Korea, or it may be caused by the naturalized Jurchens in Liaodong."

"North Korea's command?" Zhuo Jing thought for a while and said, "Could it be that North Korea wants us to retreat in the face of difficulties and give up rebuilding Tielingwei?" ”

"It's very likely, but how it is, just look at the reaction of the Anzhou garrison."

"Yes, okay."

About an hour later, Wang Tiehan rushed back with people to report: "General, the defenders of Anzhou said that there are a large number of Jurchens wandering nearby, and they dare not go out of the city, and hope that we will wait patiently for a few days, wait for Kaesong to send reinforcements, and then cross the river." ”

"Oh, I see, you go down."

"General Xie."

Zhuo Jing looked at Wang Tiehan's back and said, "This is a Jurchen? ”

"Yes, his real surname is Wanyan, and he was captured by the last general when he was chasing the Jurchen bandits, and when the last general saw his bravery, he surrendered him, and later changed his surname to Wang, because he was fierce, and named Tie Han."

"Oh, he's pretty good at Chinese."

"Yes, the last general found that the Jurchens who knew Chinese were easy to appease, and those who didn't understand Chinese were difficult to appease, and the last general thought that the imperial court should promote Han among the Jurchens, as long as everyone spoke Chinese, it wouldn't take many years, and the Jurchens would be the same as the Han people."

"Hehe, Wen Bi, you are very knowledgeable, not bad, not bad!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"The Anzhou garrison doesn't dare to go out of the city, what are you going to do?" Zhuo Jing looked at the other side and said in a deep voice.

"The last general suggested that the adults ride horses and don't take the car, the Jurchens will inevitably come in the next few days, and I am afraid that there will be a fierce battle at that time."

"Well, okay, this is the prestige of the DPRK to the official, Wen Bi, you must play the prestige of the Ming Dynasty."

"Yes, sir!"

That night, Zhang Fu and others camped on the west bank of the Qingchuan River, and arranged supply vehicles on the periphery to keep a strict guard to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack. At night, the Jurchens really appeared, and the shadowy torches were scattered all over the field.

Zhang Fu looked at the torches, calculated silently, and finally said: "Tonight, everyone is undressed, wait for the day, and sprinkle thistle terrestris outside the camp to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack; In addition, the musketeers check the musket and gunpowder to make sure they can be fired. ”

"Yes!"

But that night, the Jurchens did not attack. The next day, during the day, the Jurchens retreated, and at night they came again, and when Zhang Fu saw this scene, he immediately ordered the soldiers to change shifts and rest, and not to panic.

......

Just when Zhang Fu was trapped on the bank of the Qingchuan River, Luo Kening, who came across the sea, had already arrived in the sea outside Kaesong, near Jianghua Bay. When the news reached Kaesong, Li Fangyuan, who had just ascended the throne, was shocked.
