Chapter 509: Planning a plan of action
readx;
To save Lee Jung-yeon, this is easier said than done. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Before saving people, the first thing Zhu Youzhen had to do was to run away. Because he only has one lucky ship and dozens of sailors now, if he walks a little slowly, the North Korean sailors will block the Han River, let alone save Li Zhenyan, and even these people will have to be captured.
Fortunately, Li Zhenyan dragged Li Liang and bought precious time for Zhu Youzhen. At this time, the river surface was shrouded in fog again, and it was blurred more than ten zhang away. Zhu Youzhen and the others took advantage of the cover of the fog to quickly go down the water, and drove out of the road for more than 100 miles in less than half a day.
In the middle of this, Li Liang of course found out that he had been deceived, and angrily sent a fast horse to inform the sailors at the mouth of the Han River. However, in this era, due to the lack of fast transportation on land, boats were much faster than horseback. By the time Li Liang's herald arrived at Incheon at the mouth of the Han River, Zhu Youzhen's fortune ship had already submerged into the vast Yellow Sea. In this era when there are neither radars nor satellites, for the vast oceans, there is no difference between a ship and a needle, it is simply impossible to search.
Of course, getting out is only the first step, and to rescue Li Zhenyan, Zhu Youzhen still has a lot of work to do. After a calm analysis and understanding of the situation with Li Zhenyan's two maids, he can now be sure: First, Li Zhenyan, as the lord of a country, cannot set off to marry casually, and must always make some preparations to show grandeur, which will take at least two or three days. And Amin's Houjin army is now stationed somewhere more than 100 miles north of Seoul, and it will take about three days for the team to send off relatives to travel this way. Therefore, the time left for Zhu Youzhen is very tight, only five or six days. If Li Zhenyan can't be rescued in these few days, and when she is sent to the Houjin Army, then there will be no way back.
Second, the rescue operation could not be carried out in Seoul either, because the disparity between the forces of the enemy and the enemy was too great. If there are special combat personnel, Zhu Youzhen may adopt a more daring plan and directly break into the palace of the DPRK to seize people; But although Zheng Sen and these people also have high morale, they are just ordinary sailors in the end, and it is okay to fight naval battles, but it is beyond their strength to go deep behind enemy lines.
Thirdly, since it was impossible to save people in Seoul and in the Amin army, the rescue operation could only be carried out on the way. Therefore, the top priority at present is to grasp the specific itinerary of the send-off procession, including the time and route. But the people on the boat are very unfamiliar with North Korea, and once they get ashore, they can't even distinguish between east, west, north and south, let alone save people. Therefore, the rescue must be carried out with the help of reliable and informed North Koreans.
But there were only two maids of Li Zhenyan on the boat, and they couldn't help Zhu Youzhen except wash their faces with tears. After thinking about it, Zhu Youzhen decided to contact Li Zhenyan's old subordinates, that is, the Koreans in the Huanghai Merchant Gang.
In the past few days, when he was recuperating from his injuries, since he was lying down and couldn't move, he was idle, so Zhu Youzhen could only pass the time by chatting with Li Zhenyan, and of course he also got a lot of valuable information from it. One of the most important ones is that the Yellow Sea Merchant Gang also has a branch in Incheon, responsible for the distribution of goods and the loading and unloading of ships, and the person in charge is named Lee Yunhao, who is also the general of the Li family in Haizhou, and has always been loyal to Li Zhenyan.
Zhu Youzhen thought that Li Liang's use of force to coerce Li Xuan, the monarch of the courtyard, and Li Zhenyan, the lord of Weng, would definitely cause an uproar among the Li clan in Haizhou, and there must be many people who were dissatisfied with him. As for whether this Li Yunhao dares to help him rescue Li Zhenyan, Zhu Youzhen can't say for sure. But at present, time is pressing, and he has no better choice, so he has to call Zheng Sen and ask him to quietly land in Incheon after nightfall, and find Lee Yunhao to find out the wind first.
Zheng Sen is full of confidence, when he entered the river in Incheon, he had a relationship with Lee Yunhao, and he had a good impression of him. Zhu Youzhen said worriedly: "Zheng Sen, you are really taking a big risk by sneaking ashore this time. If you are caught by the North Korean army, or if Lee Yoon-ho betrays you, I'm afraid you'll die. Originally, such a dangerous thing should have been done by the king himself, but unfortunately the king could not walk. You have to think about it before you go, if you don't want to go, this king will not force it. ”
"Your Highness is a little underestimating the villain!" Zheng Sen said indifferently, "I see that the North Korean sergeants are all weak, and if I really do it, I can beat ten of them alone!" Even if you are outnumbered, you remember that the villain once said: if you are killed by the enemy, you must die and fall forward! ”
In the middle of the night, their fortune boat quietly dived back to the vicinity of Incheon. Although there are also warships of the North Korean sailors guarding the river mouth, the coastline is too long, how can it be taken care of? Zheng Sen led several capable sailors to put down the boat, waved his hand to Zhu Youzhen, and then rowed hard to the shore, and soon disappeared from view.
By now, all Zhu Youzhen can do is wait. Zheng Sen made an appointment with him: if Chen Shi still can't come back, it means that something has happened, and the lucky boat doesn't have to wait. Seeing that the water level was dropping little by little, which meant that time was passing by second by second, Zhu Youzhen was anxious, but he was helpless.
At about the fourth watch, there was a sudden sound of water on the dark sea, Zhu Youzhen was in good spirits, and he looked closely, and sure enough, it was Zheng Sen's boat back. Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed, and hurriedly took Zheng Sen and the others back to the Fu boat, and asked eagerly, "Nothing happened, right?" How is it going! ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, we are very careful and have not been discovered by others!" Zheng Sen smiled and introduced one person to Zhu Youzhen and said, "Your Highness, this is Li Yunhao and Brother Li!" ”
"Your Highness is above, please bow down to the villain!" The man fell to his knees and bowed.
Zhu Youzhen hurriedly helped him up and said, "Your name is Li Yunhao?" Do you know about Lord Weng? ”
Li Yunhao's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness Qiqi, you will know it yesterday evening!" Li Liang even betrayed his father and sister, how could such a person be the king? After he detained the lord, he tried to take over all of his subordinates. However, our Haizhou Li clan has always advocated a bloody battle with the Jurchens to the end, so few are willing to accept it. I heard Brother Zheng say that His Royal Highness wants to save Lord Weng, and we are all willing to serve the dead! Therefore, the villain boarded the ship, and His Highness commanded! ”
"Do you know when the send-off party will leave for the north? How many people are there? Which route to take? Zhu Youzhen asked.
"The family group is scheduled to depart in two days, and together with the Jurchen envoys on the road, there are about 500 people in total, to show Li Liang's attention and sincerity." Li Yunhao said carefully, "Amin is now stationed in Liujing, and the route he takes is from Seoul to the northwest, passing through Kaesong and Sariwon, and then turning due north to reach Liujing. ”
As he spoke, he presented a map of North Korea and pointed out Zhu Youzhen one by one.
The map is all marked in Chinese characters, so Zhu Youzhen doesn't look like a problem. His gaze repeatedly roamed the map, and finally landed on a mountain peak about ten miles north of Shaliyuan, near the mouth of the Datong River.
"This mountain is called Zhengfang Mountain, the mountain is steep and the forest is lush." Lee Yoon-ho hurriedly explained.
Zhu Youzhen pondered for a long time, and suddenly slammed his fist on the map and said: "Just set up an ambush on Zhengfang Mountain and rescue Lord Weng!" ”
