"Lieutenant Colonel Chu, this mission is related to the overall situation of North Korea, so it must be successful, do you understand?"

"The subordinate understands, the deputy commander-in-chief can rest assured!"

Chu Zhi patted his son's shoulder, thought for a long time, and came up with a sentence: "Go, don't embarrass Lao Tzu!" ”

"Hmmm! The son is gone," Chu Zheng raised his hand to his forehead and saluted: "Father should pay more attention to his body!" ”

"Well, got it, go ahead!"

"Yes!"

......

Since Li Fangyuan led his troops north, the Korean army in Gyeongju was actually divided into three parts, namely Gyeonnakseong Pass in the northwest, Daegu in the southwest, and Gyeongju on the coast, Gyeongnakse Pass had the largest number of people, reaching more than 7,000 people, and the commander was Yin Feng; Gyeongju is the second, with about 4,000 people, and the commander is Zhang Guodong; Daegu had the smallest number of people, only three thousand, and the commander was called Han Tuo.

Since late April, the Ming general Zhuang De began to storm Gyeongnakguan, Yin Feng hurriedly rushed to support, handed over Gyeongju to Zhang Guodong and Shen Tong, and Han Chuang in Daegu also fell into a fierce battle, Chu Zhi's deputy general Cai Haozhan led the army north along the Nakdong River, intending to break into Daegu along the Qinhu River, so as to enter the hinterland of Gyeongju, so Han Tuo also commanded the attack on the front line.

And Gyeongju's Zhang Guodong and Shin Tong were not only responsible for guarding Gyeongju and receiving aid from the Japanese, but also responsible for "protecting" the Joseon prince Li Chenggui, after Li Fangyuan left Gyeongju, Li Chenggui asked Yin Feng to find a Buddhist temple to relax, Yin Feng thought about it, and arranged him to be in the Buddha Temple about 20 miles southeast of Gyeongju, and arranged for heavy guards.

Buddha Temple is located in the Tuhan Mountain, although the name of the Buddhist temple is hung, but in fact there is a military significance, "want to make the magic mountain calm the poisonous mountain, and finally make the bitter sea without waves", it is a fortress to prevent the attack of the old enemy Wa State, which is also a reason why the Buddha Guo Temple was burned down in the later generations of "Renchen Wa Rebellion".

This sneak attack on Gyeongju was not only to occupy Gyeongju, but more importantly, to capture the Joseon prince Li Chenggui and the upper king Li Fangguo, and this task was given to Chu Zheng, who was not only the son of Chu Zhi, but also a member of the "chamber of attendants", and accepted the direct command of His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Yunwen.

The attendant room was founded in the third year of Jianwen, and most of the selected ones were the sons of the princes and nobles, such as Ping'an's son Pingcheng, Sheng Yong's son Sheng Zhonghe, Mei Shunchang, the son of Princess Ningguo's concubine Mei Yin, etc., and the rest were outstanding students selected from the military academy, Chu Zheng entered the attendant room in this way, and this was also his first time performing a task alone, so he was a little nervous.

For Zhang Guodong and Shen Tong, although Chu Zheng wanted to collect it for his own use, because they should be very familiar with the terrain of the Buddha Temple and could use it, but the time was pressing, Chu Zheng could only force them, and if they didn't surrender, they could only kill them, because Chu Zheng had to rush to the Buddha Temple as quickly as possible.

......

When they learned that the goal of the Ming army was Foguo Temple, Zhang Guodong and Shen Tong couldn't help but glance at each other, but immediately turned their faces, Zhang Guodong hated Shen Tong very much, he felt that Shen Tong wanted to be loyal, no problem? But there's no need to drag someone else to accompany the funeral! Shen Tong felt that even a scum like Zhang Guodong could live, and wouldn't it be too much of a loss if he died? But no matter what, Shen Tong still has a feeling of being dragged down by Zhang Guodong, and feels that if it weren't for Zhang Guodong, he wouldn't have broken his name. Now that the two of them have turned from colleagues to enemies, Zhang Guodong vows that he must learn Chinese and can no longer let this Shen Tong deceive; Shen Tong thought that since he had offended this person, he must find an opportunity to kill him, but how to kill him? He is just a scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, so there is only one way, hug Ming Jun's thigh and climb up, and then find a way to kill him by borrowing Ming Jun's hand!

So along the way, the competition between the two was very fierce, and they didn't dare to cheat and cheat, because the other person would immediately point out that he had ulterior motives; And in order to compare the other party, they kept giving Chu Zheng advice, all of which were some tricks to deceive the defenders of the Buddha Temple and capture Li Chenggui alive.

But on the whole, Zhang Guodong is still better, because he is a military general, so whether it is the marching route, or the deployment on the mountain, or the layout of the Buddha Temple, Zhang Guodong knows more, and the practicality of the strategy is stronger, which makes Shen Tong feel frustrated, so he racks his brains even more, planning to outperform the other party......

"General, the front is to Tuhan Mountain!"

"Really?" Hearing the interpreter's relay, Chu Zheng did not speak, but turned to Shen Tong beside him: "Mr. Shen, is this here?" ”

Shen Tong put his hand on his forehead, took a closer look, and said breathlessly: "Yes, this is Tuhan Mountain!" Go up the mountain for about two miles, and you will arrive at Bulguksa Temple! ”

"Good!" Chu Zheng instructed: "Everyone rests on the spot, replenishes their diet, but does not make noise, and climb the mountain in fifteen minutes!" ”

"Yes!"

......

"General, after running all night, the soldiers should be tired, can they still fight?"

"Hehe," Chu Zheng took a bite of biscuits, drank a sip of water, and turned around: "Mr. Shen, this is a special operations unit carefully trained by His Majesty, the minimum requirement is to run forty miles, and to be able to enter the battle immediately, this little road last night is nothing!" ”

"What? Forty miles? Still want to be able to fight? ”

Shen Tong was a little surprised, he pointed to the soldiers in front of him who were silently supplementing their diet, and said, "How many such troops are there?" ”

"I don't know the exact number," Chu Zheng smiled: "But at least there are tens of thousands!" ”

"Ahh

Shen Tong let out a breath of cold air, Emperor Ming is really terrible, he has trained such a terrible army, what is he going to do?

After a quarter of an hour, the army got up and went up the mountain road......

The mountain gate of Bulguksa Temple, located on the mountain road away from the temple, is the first line of defense of Bulguksa Temple.

"Who?"

"Open the door quickly, can't you hear General Ben's voice?"

"Oh, it's General Zhang, quick, open the door!"

"General, what's wrong?"

"The Japanese have treacherously attacked Gyeongju, and General Ben has come to protect the king!"

"What? Uh......"

......

"Oh no, the king!"

Li Chenggui is seventy years old, his sleep is very light, he woke up immediately when he heard a knock on the door, he pushed away the maid Yingzi next to him, and then felt the dagger under the pillow, but did not speak immediately, but listened to the sound outside, in an instant, Li Chenggui, who had been fighting all his life, immediately woke up, his eyes flashed cold, waved his hand to cut Yingzi's throat, swung his head, cleaned up the quilt slightly, and then hid under the bed.

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open, and a guard rushed in and walked quickly to the bed: "Taiwang, Taiwang, go quickly, the Ming army has attacked!" Then he lifted the quilt with his hand, and was about to cut it down with a swing of the knife, but at this moment, he felt a cold in his lower abdomen, and a dagger was inserted into his lower abdomen, and he immediately screamed, took two steps back, and then fell to the ground, and the steel knife fell to the ground, making a "dang" sound.

"The king, the king!" The guard held his lower abdomen and trembled back.

Li Chenggui got up from under the bed, picked up the steel knife, and looked at him coldly: "Zhuo Gang, I didn't expect that the person who came to kill me would be you!" ”

At this moment, a few more guards rushed in, saw the scene in the room, and exclaimed, "Zhuo Gang? ”

"He wants to assassinate this king, and he is killed by this king, what are you here for?" Li Chenggui took two steps back, put the knife in front of him, and said coldly.

“...... Of course, it's to protect the king! The leading guard, Ye Jiansheng, hesitated for a moment and said.

"What's going on out there?"

"The small one is not clear, but the Ming army has indeed attacked, and the guards can't resist it, so the king should go quickly!"

"Oh?" Li Chenggui thought for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "Forget it, it seems that there is no hope, you just wait here!" ”

"By the way, send someone to see, how is Fangguo?"

"Yes!"

.....

The Ming army came quickly, and in less than a stick of incense, Li Chenggui and the four guards were surrounded, Li Chenggui glanced out, and said in slightly stiff Chinese: "I am Li Chenggui, call your commander!" ”

"Disarm and surrender now!"

"Okay," Li Chenggui shook his head with a wry smile, and said to the guards beside him: "Put down the knife, it's always good to be alive." ”

Ye Jiansheng and the others looked back at Li Chenggui, then sighed, put the knife down, and walked out according to the instructions of the Ming army, and then immediately came in a group of Ming troops, took away all the weapons in the house, and carried the body away at the same time.

After a while, Chu Zheng walked in, he looked at Li Chenggui who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and then said with a smile: "Excuse me, are you the former governor of North Korea Li Chenggui?" ”

"Not bad! Who are you? ”

"I am Chu Zheng, a lieutenant colonel of the Ming Army, and I was ordered to come to rescue Mr. Li!"

"Rescue?" Li Chenggui couldn't help but sneer.

"Yes," Chu Zheng took out a piece of paper and handed it to Li Chenggui: "I, a person, like to help others the most, I saved your life on the orders of Your Majesty, and I also helped you write an excerpt of thanks to Your Majesty, do you want to take a look?" ”

"Excerpts?" Li Chenggui took it with a smile, looked at it, and saw that it read:

“......”

"Cheng Guiben is a contemptible person in the twin cities, and the world is blessed by the Central Plains, and he does not forget to serve the court day and night."

"At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Cheng Gui was not in Goryeo, but he did not dare to forget the grace of the country for a moment, but Wang Yu disobeyed the mandate of heaven, intending to unite the Yuan to attack the Ming, kill my compatriots, and destroy my homeland, how could Cheng Gui be with this rebellious minister and thief, so he returned to the division on Weihua Island, punished the rebellion, and returned to the heart of North Korea."

"However, this is not what Cheng Gui can do, but the people are afraid of the power of the Ming Dynasty and cherish the virtue of the Ming Dynasty, so Cheng Gui thinks about it day and night, and decides to dedicate the land to the Ming Dynasty, and Cheng Gui is willing to be the Dou Rong of the Han Dynasty and Zhang Yichao of the Tang Dynasty, and the Liehou will die in the world!"

“.....”

"However, the rebel son Fangyuan acted against the sky, the wolf was ambitious, and intended to establish himself as the king, so he killed his brother, forced the old man to abdicate, imprisoned the old man in the deep palace, and said that the old man was seriously ill and could not speak, and cut off the inside and outside. Although the old man has thousands of thoughts to serve the country, he is hindered by the rebel son and achieves nothing. Recently, I am glad to hear that His Majesty sent a large army to recruit the rebel son, the rebel son lost the army and broke the general, and the old minister rejoiced day by day, hoping to see the heavenly soldiers as soon as possible, so that the Ming Dynasty Jin Ou is flawless, and all the people of North Korea will rejoice and thank His Majesty for the grace of reconstruction! ”

“......”

"Thousands of miles away, Your Majesty knows the sincerity of the grass people, so he sent a special team to rescue thousands of miles, and now he has escaped from the hands of the rebel son, he is very excited, if he meets a new life, such as a wanderer returning to his hometown, he meets his parents, and cries bitterly for a while, looking down on His Majesty to forgive the incompetence of the grass people!"

“......”

"Here, the old man is willing to dedicate thousands of miles of North Korea to Daming in the name of the governor of North Korea, and I hope Your Majesty will allow it, so that millions of Korean people are very fortunate and Cheng Gui is very lucky!"

“......”

"Haha, haha," Li Chenggui suddenly laughed after reading, and the tears of laughter were about to flow out, as if he saw a big joke, he gently patted the paper in his hand, and then waved it: "Will anyone believe this kind of words?" ”

"This," Chu Zheng leaned over slightly and looked at Li Chenggui: "I don't bother you, are you willing to send it out?" ”

"Hmph, the old man doesn't want to!"

"Really?"

"I really don't want to!"

"Okay, then your Li family is waiting to exterminate the clan!"

"What did you say?" Li Chenggui's face immediately turned pale, and he pointed at Chu Zheng and said, "You! ”

"Surprised? Isn't this the ending of the former Goryeo royal family? ”

......

After being silent for a long time, Li Chenggui stood up, hugged his fists and said: "The rebel son Fangyuan has done a lot of evil, and it is not a pity to die, but Fangguo is peaceful, and Chenggui is dedicated to the land, and is willing to be a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, but it is a pity that he is burdened by the rebel son, I don't know if I can ask the envoy to restore the court, Chenggui has nothing else to ask for, but to ask for the health of the second son, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

"Yes!"
