When Mao Wenlong led his troops back to Kaesong, it was already evening.

In order to thank the Qin army for their life, the residents of Kaesong took out grain and oil to make hot meals and hot dishes to entertain the Qin army.

The Korean army in the city went out of the city to help the Qin army build a pontoon bridge to cross the river and prepare for the Qin army's attack.

Mao Wenlong, on the other hand, stood on the wall of Kaesong and expressed his views on the battle to Liu Chenglong.

"Jiannu is cunning, it may be a bluff along the way, but this bluff can also make most people scared, a small number of people with courage are not enough to defeat them, once the battle is lost, it can only exacerbate this panic, the people are ignorant, and everyone is in the clouds, so there is this scene now!"

Liu Chenglong didn't expect that a middle-level officer of the Qin army's 2,000-strong cavalry would be able to say such insightful words, he must be literate and educated.

Are all the officers of the Qin army literate? Are they all educated?

But at this moment, Liu Chenglong didn't have the heart to dwell on this matter.

He was worried about Nurhachi's whereabouts.

"General Mao, when will the main force of Great Qin arrive? If the Jiannu barbarians cross the Imjin River, then Hancheng is in danger, Hancheng is the capital of our country, if you can, please also ask General Mao to protect Hancheng and leave a glimmer of life for our country! ”

Listening to Liu Chenglong's words, Mao Wenlong smiled.

"Mr. Liu said with a smile, as long as there are enough troops around the king of Joseon, whether there is combat effectiveness or not, as long as the army is still there, the central government is there, as long as the central government is there, the place will naturally not be in chaos, take me and others to exterminate the Jiannu, and your North Korea will naturally be stable."

Liu Chenglong no longer regards Mao Wenlong as a simple martial artist.

"General Mao, my country is small, the people are poor and weak, after the first war, there is no extra money to recover the wounds caused by this war, we can only reduce the trauma as much as possible, otherwise, after this war, our country may be in danger of overturning."

When Mao Wenlong heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning.

He had contacted Liao Zhong before, and Liao Zhong sent him the latest instructions from Emperor Xiao Ruxun - to keep North Korea, prevent it from collapsing, and ensure the stability of North Korea.

As for what the emperor did, he had also heard a little.

Following Ma Chong's side, you can always hear some important military events.

It is said that there is a mess on the Tusi side of Sichuan, and it is very unstable there, and the emperor is now very anxious to end the war here, and then free up his hands to deal with the Tusi of Sichuan.

Once North Korea collapses, millions of refugees have nowhere to escape, the biggest possibility is to pour into Liaodong, increasing the population is certainly not a bad thing, but at the moment Liaodong has a weak foundation, it can't accept so many people, and even if it can accept it, it will require a lot of energy and money from the imperial court.

If the emperor plans to use troops against Sichuan, it is estimated that there is no way to free up his hands here.

Fortunately, Daqin's finances are very abundant, the military budget is sufficient, and the food is enough, so I don't worry about not being able to fight, but Daqin has been established for less than a year, and the family foundation is not thick enough, so the war on the two fronts will inevitably seem to be a bit careless.

So the emperor's meaning is to quickly get rid of Jiannu, and then let him free up his hands to clean up the toast in that area of Sichuan, it is estimated that the emperor will also do it to other toasts, which is another big war.

Mao Wenlong began to get excited.

Compared with the extermination of the little Jiannu, the Tusi in so many places in Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Guangxi, if they are cleaned up, what a great credit it will have?

Therefore, we really can't let North Korea collapse, and North Korea's existence is very necessary.

At this thought, Mao Wenlong nodded.

"Mr. Liu, please rest assured, the young general is here to exterminate Jiannu, but the strength of Jiannu is still above me, even if we meet now, our army is only two thousand cavalry, Jiannu is not to say that there are three or four thousand, really fighting, I am not completely sure that I can exterminate Jiannu, the battle of trapped beasts is not comfortable."

Liu Chenglong thought about it, if he was really unlucky and capsized in the gutter, North Korea would really be finished.

Now that such an army is chasing behind, Jiannu may not dare to stop and attack Seoul, and will definitely speed up and flee.

Where will you run away?

"What is the general going to do? Where will Jiannu flee to? My king is still in the south. ”

Liu Chenglong understood that he was not the one who was engaged in the military, so he didn't trust it and asked Mao Wenlong how to solve it.

In this way, Mao Wenlong has a good impression of him, and feels that this old man is not a scum who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but a person with courage.

But Li Hao ......

"Mr. Liu, please rest assured, the leader of Jiannu, Nuer Hachi, once accompanied His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin to Korea to conquer the Japanese invaders, and he is more familiar with the route to the south back then, and now on the road of escape, he will definitely choose a familiar road instead of an unfamiliar road, I think, we should go to Zhongzhou, and Jiannu must be on the way to Zhongzhou now."

"Chungju? Oops! ”

Liu Chenglong was shocked: "General Mao, my king is retreating in the direction of Busan by the Chungju route!" ”

"It doesn't matter."

Mao Wenlong shook his head: "The remnants of Jiannu are panicked, there must not be many mouthfuls of food and water left, they need a lot of food and water along the way, they will definitely not be able to go fast, and it is late autumn, when everything is withering, it is estimated that their war horses will soon be lost, and by then, what is the threat of the toothless wolf?" ”

Liu Chenglong thought about it and felt that it made sense.

"And when are we going to march?"

"Have a good night's rest today, and march again tomorrow."

Mao Wenlong made a decision.

On October 18, Mao Wenlong led his troops across the river, and on the same day, he drove straight to Seoul and came to the city of Seoul, and found that Seoul was not attacked, and the Korean soldiers on the city looked nervously at the Qin cavalry under the city, until Liu Chenglong in the army came forward to let Seoul open the city gate before the crisis was resolved.

When they heard the news that the Qin army had arrived to come to their aid, they wept with joy, feeling extremely glad that they had escaped, and at the same time talked about the panic when they heard the sound of thousands of horses galloping at night.

After all, there were only 500 people in Seoul.

Fortunately, they did not attack Seoul and left quickly.

The direction of departure is the same as Mao Wenlong's speculation, which is the direction of Zhongzhou, that is, the direction in which Li Hao escaped.

"They don't have a stable source of food, and they can't even get food supplements for their horses, so how long can they run? Keep chasing, so that they can't stop and rest at any moment, until they are tired to death! ”

Mao Wenlong scattered his sentry cavalry, reorganized the army, and resumed the pursuit.

When Mao Wenlong and Nurhachi staged a battle royale, Xiao Ruxun also kept receiving military secret reports from Sichuan in the capital, which told all kinds of news about Yang Yinglong, the Tusi of Banzhou.
