"My subordinates never knew that the prime minister was still stuck here, it's really offended, the prime minister, please drink tea."

Zheng Weiguang, the guard of Seoul, carefully gave Liu Chenglong a cup of tea, and then turned his face to the big-headed soldier kneeling under the hall and scolded angrily: "I don't know whether to live or die!" Even the leader dares to offend! Have you eaten bear's heart leopard gall? ”

Zheng Weiguang was promoted by Liu Chenglong during the war and was also taken care of after the war, so he is very grateful to Liu Chenglong.

The big-headed soldier was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy, Liu Chenglong sighed and said: "That's it, don't embarrass him, the old man is not to the point where everyone in the world knows him, not to mention that the old man is just a sinner now, and he is no longer the leader, let him leave!" ”

Liu Chenglong said so, and Zheng Weiguang also got off the donkey down the slope and drove the big-headed soldiers away.

After the big head soldier left, Zheng Weiguang said to Liu Chenglong worriedly: "I'll send someone to send the prime minister to Busan, this time the king's destination is Busan, it should be too late to chase after it now, and the speed of the barbarians should not be so fast." ”

Liu Chenglong frowned: "What the hell is going on?" Why did the barbarians suddenly come over? Are we still so badly defeated? Even the king of Kyoto can't hold it? ”

"Who's to say it isn't? I heard that there were 100,000 troops in the barbarians going south, General Guo Zaiyou led his troops to the north to resist, but he died in battle, and Pyongyang was also lost. ”

Zheng Weiguang shook his head and sighed.

"100,000 barbarians? Guo Zaiyou is dead? How is this possible? ”

Liu Chenglong was taken aback: "Then who is in charge of the front line now?" If you don't all flee, you will be left with a partial general with 2,000 soldiers and horses to guard the king's capital? And what about other armies? What about our army? Don't you resist? ”

"Now the front line is in charge of General Kwon Li, he has 5,000 soldiers and horses, and before leaving, the king asked him to go north to Kaesong to defend against the barbarians and recover Pyongyang."

Zheng Weiguang looked bitter: "What's the use of five thousand soldiers and horses?" Nominally, General Kwon controlled the soldiers and horses of the five provinces, but Pyongan and the Yellow Sea have collapsed, Hamgyong Province is too far away, and Gyeonggi Province is left with only my lone army, and only the soldiers and horses of Gangwon Province can be mobilized, but where can it be compared with the 100,000 barbarian army? ”

Liu Chenglong immediately retorted: "Impossible, the barbarians can't have 100,000 soldiers and horses, the Jurchen barbarians are divided into three major departments, Jianzhou East China Sea and Haixi, there are about 30,000 people and horses at each step, and together they are only 100,000 at most, but they are enemies of each other, unless they are unified, it is impossible to unite."

Besides, there is still a garrison of Great Qin in Liaodong, if the Jurchens are unified, Great Qin will not be without action, this time the thieves will go south with a maximum of 30,000 horses, no, maybe not even 20,000! How can it be boasted of being a hundred thousand horses? Where did this news come from? ”

Liu Chenglong is worthy of being a doer, and as soon as he analyzed it, he punctured the falsehood of the rumors and stunned Zheng Weiguang for a moment.

"It was the news brought by the exiles who went south, saying that there were a lot of barbarians, and they were very fierce, and they were going to slaughter the city when they got to a place, Pyongyang had really fallen, and General Guo Zaiyou had really died in battle."

"Let's not talk about this kind of thing for the time being, anyway, I can be sure that the number of barbarians going south is definitely less than 20,000, our North Korea has 100,000 armor, and it doesn't matter if we are defeated in the face of 200,000 Japanese invaders, 20,000 barbarians can make the king leave Beijing, how else can we establish a country?!"

Liu Chenglong was very angry, and stood up with a slap on the table: "Where is General Quan?" Have you already arrived in Kaesong? You immediately send someone to send me to Kaesong, and I will go to see General Kwon and fight the enemy with him! In any case, you can't call the barbarians past Kaesong! ”

Zheng Weiguang's face was full of incredulity, and at the same time, he also felt deep shame.

The old man, who was almost sixty years old, dared to rise to the challenge, but he himself ......

It's just that at this moment, it's really a little late, if Liu Chenglong was in the court at the time of the incident, it might not make the court look like this, but the matter has come to this point, the army has already moved south, even if the barbarians are less than 20,000, it is not something that their rabble of more than 7,000 people can resist.

Not to mention that Kwon Lee didn't have to defend at all, and the grapevine said that Kwon Lee was already planning to escape to Jeolla Province and didn't want to resist at all.

Liu Chenglong has no skills to return to the sky.

"Leader, there is a saying, the last general doesn't know whether to say it or not."

Zheng Weiguang intends to make a final effort.

"You say."

Liu Chenglong nodded.

"General Quan is old, there are only 5,000 men and horses under his hands, there is no chance of winning at all, I guess General Quan has no intention of fighting to the death with the barbarians, he should be able to retreat, we should also evacuate in time to minimize the losses, the king has already asked Daqin for help before he set off, and Daqin's reinforcements will soon come to help me exterminate those barbarians."

Zheng Weiguang hopes to tell Liu Chenglong about the matter and ask Liu Chenglong to give up those unrealistic ideas.

But Liu Chenglong became even more angry after hearing this.

"If anything happens, go to Daqin, and my country should simply attach Daqin to the country! Although we are a vassal state, and Daqin is my suzerain, Korea is a country! It's not a county! If you can't make decisions about everything and can't solve it yourself, what are you going to do with the country?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, everything is begging for Daqin, today can repel the barbarians, tomorrow can repel other barbarians, in the long run, how will Daqin view our country? Will Daqin feel that the existence of our country is still meaningful? What if one day Daqin says that you should attach it to the country? ”

Liu Chenglong's angry rebuke made Zheng Weiguang unable to raise his head, although he felt a little disappreciative in his heart, and even felt that it was not a bad thing to be attached to the country, holding Daqin's thigh and becoming a citizen of Daqin, at least it would not be invaded frequently.

However, on the surface, he still has to pretend to be very ashamed and sad to satisfy Liu Chenglong.

Liu Chenglong is an upright person and a capable person, if those big names in the court can be the same as Liu Chenglong, the situation will not become what it is today, but the truth is very cruel, there is only one Liu Chenglong.

But even so, he still persisted in the struggle, and when North Korea was facing an existential crisis, he forgot everything.

Zheng Weiguang told him that Quan Li had been on his way for two days and was still stationed at the Biho Pavilion.

Liu Chenglong thought about it for a while, and knew what Quan Li meant, and his heart was cold, but he was still unwilling to give up hope.

He asked Zheng Weiguang to send a team of men to escort him to the Blue Hoof Pavilion, and he wanted to find Quan Li in person and talk to him.

Zheng Weiguang did not go against his wishes, agreed to him, and called a team of 100 people to escort Liu Chenglong to the Biho Pavilion.

From Biho Hall to Seoul, it doesn't take half a day, and Kwon Li is still in Biho Hall after walking for two days, what this means is self-evident.
