"Wonju..."Hideho's first reaction was that this plan was inappropriate, but he couldn't say why, so he had to turn the handle to the generals present: "What do you think, is Aoki-sama's plan feasible?" ”

Seeing that Xiubao couldn't make up his mind, the hall suddenly exploded, Komiyayama Harutsu was the first to raise objections, he thought that sending troops to Yuanzhou was a lone army, and the family did not understand the local situation, so he went rashly, if it was an empty city, it was fortunate, if not, then it would be attacked from both sides by the defenders in the city and the pursuers outside the city.

Longqing's father and son were brave and resourceful, and they didn't have any subjective opinions, but when they thought of Junju's cynicism at them, they stood on Qingsheng's side without saying a word, and resolutely opposed the switch to Yuanzhou.

Sangshan Yiqing, who also belongs to the important ministers of the spectrum, although he has a general relationship with Junju, and even secretly often competes for the first position in the genealogy, but at this moment, seeing these new retainers forming a group to fight against Junju, he is also vigilant in his heart, in order to highlight the status of the retainers of the spectrum, he unexpectedly said that he supported Junju, saying that "instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to take one step at a time", and threatened to move to Yuanzhou is the only choice to deal with the current situation.

At this critical juncture, there was a dispute between the party lords in the family, and Xiubao was suddenly filled with grief and anger, angry that Longqing's father and son and Yiqing disregarded the overall situation and fought for their own interests; The sad thing is that as the head of the family, he failed to handle the internal relationship, which made the retainers contradictory and-for-tat. "If Gao Hu was here, it wouldn't be like this." Xiubao sighed silently, he believed that Gao Hu would definitely give the most correct plan that would convince the generals present.

"Your Highness, the foreign minister doesn't know whether to say it or not." Goto Kiji interrupted Hideho's thoughts with a soft remark.

"Oh, it's Youbei, please tell me something." Hideho suddenly found that Goto Matabei Kiji, one of the "Kuroda Shuangbi" and "Osaka Seven Shoguns", was under his account, and he was in a happy mood, hoping that he could say a plan that would satisfy everyone.

"The foreign minister thinks that it is not advisable to stick to Yunling." Gizi said slowly.

"What's the matter, the guards have said so, what else do you have to say?" Junju thought that Matabei was on his side, and said to Harumi rather arrogantly.

"However, it is also a good idea to move to Yuanzhou." Jiji's tone was still soothing, not caring at all about the stunned Jun Ju beside him, and the sneering Longqing father and son.

"Then in your opinion, how should our army respond?" Seeing that Kiji Chengzhu was in his chest, Hideho was also surprised, staring straight at his eyes, looking forward to his next seminal plan.

"Your Highness, my lords, if I remember correctly, the ultimate purpose of this dispatch is to deceive the Ming army back to Yuanzhou, not to really fight them, right?"

"What's the matter, could it be that Lord Goto has another clever plan to fool Li Rumei back?" Jun Ju glanced at Kiji and said coldly.

"That's not true," Ji Cibao smiled: "But since we want to trick the Ming army back to Yuanzhou, why do we still want to seize Yuanzhou?" If Yuanzhou really takes it, what will you do with the Ming army? Isn't this sending meat to people's mouths? ”

Seeing that Junju's cheeks were flushed, Ji Ji turned around and said to Qingsheng again: "Lord Xiaogongshan, don't you think that Yunshanzhai is very similar to Street Pavilion?" ”

"Street Pavilion?" Qing Sheng was stunned, and immediately bowed down and replied: "It is worthy of Lord Goto, Yunshan is really undefensible, and Qing Sheng is willing to listen to the good advice of the adults." ”

"Your Excellency is too modest," Kiji bowed in return, then got up and came to the map, pointed to the mountains west of Yunling, and said: "Yunling has Yuanju in the north, Dichuan in the east, and Chungju in the south, all of which are not feasible. ”

"To the west? Wouldn't that be the end of Gyeonggi-do? Junju asked.

"That's right," Kiji nodded solemnly, "Only in this way can you escape." As he spoke, he swiped his finger west along the location of the Cloud Ridge and stopped at a familiar place name.

"Takeyama?!" Jun Ju muttered, "Hasn't this mountain city been destroyed by His Royal Highness Xiuzhong?" ”

Kiji patiently explained: "Lord Aoki only knows one thing but does not know the other, at the beginning of the 'Takeyama Victory', His Royal Highness Hidetada almost razed Takeyama Castle to the ground, but until the end of the 'Battle of Kiyama', after the elite of the Central Route Army was lost, in order to avoid the enemy's edge, Okubo and Honda led their troops back to Chungju, passing by Takesan on the way, and decided to transform it into a bridgehead for counterattacking Gyeonggi Province, so they repaired Takeyama Castle on a large scale, and even the spring was re-excavated, in order to prevent a repeat of the same mistakes. Unexpectedly, the city had just been built and the army retreated south, but this also happened to provide an excellent foothold for our army, where it was much easier to resist the Ming army than this Yunling. ”

"Goto-sama, don't forget, west of Zhushan is the Ming army's Jinghu defense line, if the Suwon garrison pours out and attacks Li Rumei's pursuers on both sides, I'm afraid the situation is even more unoptimistic, right?" Although Long Qing had heard of the name of Jiji, he was still a little skeptical about this seemingly risky plan.

"In my opinion, it may not be," after some explanation by the base, Qingsheng also changed his position: "The Jinghu defense line is set up to defend against the Western Route Army, and before His Royal Highness Xiuyuan makes a move, Ma Gui will never dare to rashly send troops, that is to say, we can use the Western Route Army to confuse Ma Gui and Li Rumei, so that they dare not act rashly."

Think about it, if we deal with the pursuers alone, the ratio of the army is one to three, if the Western Route Army is pulled, even if Li Rumei pulls up Magui, the ratio of the battle will be reduced to 18,000 to 20,004, that is, three to four, plus our army occupies the terrain advantage, the two can form a confrontation situation in the Zhushan area, so that the chasing troops will be dragged down, and our goal will be achieved. ”

"That's right, as long as we can connect with the West Route Army, we will be able to reverse the disadvantage, contain more than 20,000 Ming troops on the West Road, and create conditions for the East Road to break through." Kiji Chao Qingsheng bowed slightly, thanking him for his understanding and support.

Hearing this, all the generals in the hall nodded yes, all of them were impressed by the strategy of the base, and Xiubao was also very pleased, but he didn't expect that even if Gao Hu was not by his side, he could also have nobles to help, and immediately decided to follow what the base said, the army packed up and retreated to Zhushan, as for Yunling, of course, it was all burned, and not even a single stake was left for the Ming army.

At the beginning of February, the weather in Korea was still cold, but the army of more than 1,000 people was slowly advancing along the Zhuling Mountains towards Zhushan in this icy and snowy land, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes fluttered on the faces of the soldiers, and the eyebrows were also dyed white.

Late that night, Xiubao and his entourage finally arrived at their destination, and what caught everyone's eye was Xiuzhong's masterpiece - a bare hill, just half a month ago, with the absolute advantage of 20,000 people, and the hard work of the cave Taizhong, Xiuzhong only took one day to eliminate 3,000 defenders, creating the "Zhushan Victory" that people talk about.

If it weren't for the fact that the loyal neighbors and the loyal dynasty temporarily cut down timber from all around, transported it to Zhushan to set up fences, and set up several guard posts on the mountainside, barely maintaining the defense system under the mountain, then this Zhushan Castle is really incomparable with the original Gyeonggi gateway.

At the same time, the Ming army, which arrived late in Yunling due to the harassment of a small group of Japanese troops, noticed the fire in Yunshanzhai in the mountains two miles away.

"Lord Qiqi, according to the investigation of his subordinates, the large and small cities in the Yunling area, including Yunling Pass and Yunshan Village, were set on fire by the Japanese Invaders, and according to the fire, it can be speculated that the Japanese Invaders evacuated Yunling in the early morning at most." A scout reported to the chief general from inside the tent of the Chinese army.

"Understood, lead your subordinates to continue to investigate, see if there are any traces of the Japanese in the vicinity, and prevent them from being ambushed." The young military general said in a deep voice, and then he called the general outside the camp and ordered: "Third brother, you go and tell the second brother, let his troops stand by in place, and wait for the scouts to find out the movements of the Japanese Kou before making plans." ”

"Understood, big brother," the general nodded and continued: "I heard from the captured captive that the Japanese general who killed his father four years ago is now in this Japanese army, shouldn't he know that our brothers are coming to take his life and flee from the battle?" ”

"Where can an army of a thousand men go?" The military general said disdainfully, but despite this, he still couldn't hide the hatred in his heart: "Even if he digs three feet into the ground, he must be caught to pay tribute to the spirit of his ancestor in the sky, otherwise, I, Li Jingxiao, am not worthy of being the descendant of the Li family in Suzhou!" ”
