However, Kim Nam-hyun's idea ultimately failed to materialize.

In fact, if Jin Zongrui had come a day late, Jin Nanxuan would have already gone south, and by then, Li Fangyuan would have gone north to Hanjing, which would not be feasible. Now, Cheongju is facing Qu Neng's attack, and Han Dongzheng only has 50,000 people in his hands, and most of them have been recruited recently, and their combat effectiveness is very poor, so Han Dongzheng has to ask for help from Chungju and Sangju.

But Li Fangyuan had already set out on the expedition, and he did not receive a letter from Han Dongzheng at all, who was struggling to move forward on the rugged mountain road.

Li Fangyuan's arrival made Jin Nanxuan in a dilemma, and after thinking twice, he first sent Jin Zongrui back to report the matter to Li Fangyuan, and he led 20,000 elites to wait in Shangzhou; In addition, he sent his generals to take 20,000 old and weak people to the south first, first stabilize the defense line in Cheongju, and at the same time inform Guo Qixiong of the situation in Chungju......

Three days later, Li Fangyuan led dozens of his entourage to Shangzhou, and as for the army, it was still marching with difficulty on the mountain road dozens of miles away!

After arriving in Sangju, Li Fangyuan immediately convened a military meeting to discuss the next strategy.

As expected, there was a fierce debate at the meeting, with Jin Nanxuan advocating abandoning the Hanjing strategy, defeating Qu Neng with the power of Sizhou, and then planning the future; Du Mingju advocated that the elites of Gyeongju, Sangju, and Chungju should go north, occupy Hanjing in one fell swoop, control the Hangang Plain, and then turn back to besiege Qu Neng, and before that, they could only rely on the old and weak of Chungju, Gyeongju, and Cheongju to maintain the front.

Kim Nam-hyun scoffed at Du Mingju's strategy, pointing out that if Hanjing was not captured in time, tens of thousands of troops would be under the fortified city, and the three states of Chung, Qing, and Shang, which had lost their elites, would inevitably be lost, and the restoration of Korea would not be possible.

Du Mingju's view is completely different, he pointed out that even if the power of the four states defeats Qu Neng, the shortage of grain in the four states will not be alleviated, and for Jin Nanxuan's statement that he obtained grain and grass from Qu Neng's hands, Du Mingju thinks that it is pure wishful thinking, and no matter how stupid Qu Neng is, he will burn the grain and grass before the defeat.

To a certain extent, the lack of food in the four states has strengthened the idea of Du Ming to raise Hanjing to fight for his life, according to his estimates, most of the food in North Korea should be in Hanjing, as long as Hanjing is conquered, then the grain and grass and soldier replenishment have been settled, and then with Qu Neng, Sheng Yong decisive battle, the certainty of victory is greater.

The two factions argued endlessly, quarreled and quarreled, and even went online, Du Mingju and his faction accused Kim Nam-hyun of only caring about his own selfish interests and his own territory, causing the restoration of North Korea to ignore the righteousness, while Kim Nam-hyun and his faction accused Du Mingju of being old and mediocre, despising the Ming army, and even insinuating, accusing him of impurity of heart, and suspected of deceiving the king into the trap of the Ming army.

......

"Smack!"

Seeing that the argument between the two factions was getting more and more out of shape, Li Fangyuan picked up the teacup and slammed it to the ground: "Shut up!" ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and hurriedly got up to salute and review the crime of dereliction.

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Li Fangyuan sighed, then got up and helped Jin Nanxuan and Du Mingju up: "Everyone else goes out, Lone has something to say to the two generals!" ”

"Weichen takes the order!"

"Two," Li Fangyuan pulled the two together, and said in a deep voice: "Now that my North Korea is in the autumn of crisis, we need all of you to work together to get out of the predicament. Do you want to scold the Ming army until they kill themselves, and then they are willing? ”

"The last general knows that he is wrong!"

"The last general knows that he is wrong!"

Looking at the appearance of the two, Li Fangyuan nodded and said, "Two, give Lone a face, apologize to each other, and open the page just now, how about it?" ”

"Wechen was scared, Wechen was a little unscrupulous just now, and I hope the old general won't be surprised!"

"The old minister is terrified, General Jin, this time the old man is indeed wrong, and I hope Haihan!"

"Don't dare!"

"Don't dare!"

Looking at the two people who saluted each other, a smile appeared on Li Fangyuan's face, he beckoned the two to sit down, and then retreated from everyone, and said in a deep voice: "The ideas of the two generals have a certain amount of truth, but our army is limited, Han Jing and Qu Neng can only take one of them, I don't know if there is a way to get the best of both worlds?" ”

This one? Jin Nanxuan and Du Mingju glanced at each other, and shook their heads at the same time, the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, this kind of thing, Sun Wu is reborn, and there is no way for Wu Qi to come back to life!

"That's it," Li Fangyuan was silent for a long time, during which he pushed his forehead with his hand, and then put his hands on the table, his eyes were like electricity, and he glanced at Jin Nanxuan and Du Mingju: "Two, the lonely decision is to take Hanjing directly, why can you teach me?" ”

Seeing that Li Fangyuan had adopted his own strategy, Du Mingju did not show joy, but looked at Jin Nanxuan: "What does General Jin think?" ”

"This," Jin Nanxuan sighed slightly, a little disappointed, but he quickly returned to normal, and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, can the last general ask how sure you are of taking Han Jing?" ”

"Take Hanjing, the grasp is still relatively large!" Li Fangyuan turned to Du Mingju and said, "Let General Du explain it to you!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Du Mingju walked to the map, pointed to Hanjing and said: "Since Qu Neng left Hanjing, he took away 50,000 people, and there are only 10,000 Ming troops and 3,000 Korean troops in the city. ”

"As for the garrison outside the city, there are not many, including 3,000 in Yangping County, including 1,000 in the Ming army; 3,000 in Gapyeong, 1,500 in the Ming army; The largest number was Shuizhou, with 8,000 Ming troops and 5,000 Korean troops, a total of 13,000 people, and this army should be used to protect Qu Neng's back road. ”

"The route of our army's attack is roughly along the direction of the Taebaek Mountains, passing through Chungju, turning to Gapyeong County, and then raiding Hanjing from the northwest of Hanjing, and the grasp is still relatively large."

"What is the number of troops raided by General Du?"

"The king brought 30,000 elites from Gyeongju, and then brought 10,000 people from Sangju and Chungju, 50,000 people should be enough, my Korean army has many archers and cavalry, good at fighting and brave, and it is still relatively sure with five times the strength of the army!"

Hearing this, Jin Nanxuan frowned slightly, he felt that Du Mingju seemed to be a little taken for granted, but he didn't continue to ask this question, but changed his mouth and said: "Old General Du, how to attack the city, have you thought about it?" ”

"Our army has been running for a long time, and most of the baggage has to be abandoned, so it mainly relies on surprise attacks and internal responses."

"Raid? Internal? Jin Nanxuan sighed, and then turned to Li Fangyuan: "Wang, who is Neiying?" Are you sure? ”

Looking at Jin Nanxuan's puzzled eyes, Li Fangyuan was silent for a while, then lowered his voice and said a person's name.

Jin Nanxuan couldn't help but exclaim: "How could it be him?" Is he reliable? ”

"The Forbidden Mansion has confirmed it, it's very reliable!" Li Fangyuan put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "This is the main reason why Lone tends to attack Han Jing!" ”

Seeing that Jin Nanxuan had not yet recovered from the shock, Li Fangyuan smiled with relief, and there was a little pride in his smile.

"So, General Jin, Lone will give you full power, can you stop Qu Neng within a month? As long as it doesn't cross the Jin River, how about it? ”

Jin Nanxuan pondered for a while, bowed to the ground, and said categorically: "The last general has smeared his liver and brain on the ground, and he has blocked Qu Neng to buy time for the king!" ”

"Good, good!" Li Fangyuan took the wine glass and poured a glass of wine for each of them: "General Jin dragged Qu Neng, and General Du went north with General Ben, in order to recover North Korea and restore Hanjing, come, let's drink this cup full!" ”

"Thank you, the king!"

"Thank you, the king!"

After Li Fangyuan finished drinking, he dropped the wine glass on the ground, and Jin Nanxuan and Du Mingju also followed suit and broke the wine glass. The three of them looked at each other and laughed in unison!
