readx;

That night, Li Zhenyan and Herzhe stayed in the outer room, and Zhu Youzhen slept in the inner room, spending a night of tossing and turning, thinking about what was wrong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Early the next morning, Zhu Youzhen was surprised to find that he could barely stand without the support of others. Of course, it was a bit of a struggle to walk, and I had to use a cane. But this already made him very excited, knowing that even in a previous life where medicine was developed, it was impossible for a fracture to heal so quickly.

So he hurriedly thanked Li Zhenyan solemnly, and said excitedly: "What I said at the banquet yesterday seems to have touched Mao Wenlong. Now I will continue to lobby to see if I can persuade him to raise an army and take advantage of Amin's march into Seoul to attack the rear of the Jurchens. This is called encircling Wei to save Zhao, Amin is afraid that the retreat will be cut off, and most of them will withdraw in a hurry, so that the siege of Korea will be lifted. ”

Li Zhenyan was overjoyed when she heard this, and knelt down to Zhu Youzhen with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Highness, Zhenyan has brought the Korean people to thank you first!" ”

Herzhe pulled Li Zhenyan up in a panic, so anxious that he even talked and gestured, and finally wiped his tears. Li Zhenyan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed so hard that she almost couldn't straighten her waist.

"What is she talking about, look at you!" Zhu Youzhen was confused.

Li Zhenyan couldn't help but smile: "She thought that His Royal Highness was going to give Zhenyan to her because he wanted to marry her... It's off! ”

"You two talk slowly, I'm going to find Mao Wenlong!" Zhu Youzhen is full of black lines.

However, when he staggered to the main hall of the General Soldier's Mansion, it was still empty. I think it was because of the excessive carnival last night, from the general soldier Mao Wenlong to the ordinary soldiers who guarded the door, they were still sleeping soundly with the woman in their arms. Zhu Youzhen had to sit patiently in front of the hall, bored and looking at the scenery of the sea.

Only then did he realize that Phi Dao was very close to the land, and he could faintly see the land when he looked to the east. I heard that Mao Wenlong also gathered tens of thousands of Han people in the Dongjiang River to reclaim the fields, I don't know what happened to them now?

It took more than an hour for Mao Wenlong to yawn. As soon as he saw Zhu Youzhen, he smiled evilly and said, "Dao Chief, how did you feel last night?" Didn't you subdue that little girl? ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhu Youzhen coped with two sentences embarrassedly, and then said eagerly, "Lord General Soldier, now that Jianyu is alone in North Korea, this is a great opportunity to raise troops for a sneak attack." If the general can force Amin to return to help and relieve the siege of Hancheng, it will be another great achievement, and the court will use the general even more, the general..."

Mao Wenlong interrupted him with a smile and said, "Dao Chief, do you think that I really only indulge in lust and ignore Jianyu's actions? Look at this! ”

As he spoke, he handed an urgent piece of information to Zhu Youzhen. Zhu Youzhen took a cursory look, and couldn't help but turn pale and couldn't speak for a long time.

It turned out that this information was sent to the island overnight by Mao Wenlong's secret agent planted in North Korea. According to the intelligence, Amin did not allow Korea to surrender under the pretext that the lord of Myoha had escaped halfway and had no sincerity, and led the army of the Four Banners to drive straight into Seoul and occupied Seoul early yesterday morning. King Li Liang and most of the ministers have abandoned the city and fled, and the king of the courtyard, Li Xuan, fought to the death and did not yield, and finally committed suicide because he was outnumbered, and Yunxian Palace was also burned by the Jurchens. Amin is now stationed in Seoul, plundering the city and slaughtering tens of thousands of Seoul residents!

Thinking that his leg injury was still relying on Li Li's best efforts, he could heal so quickly. The old man's voice and smile still appeared in front of him, but he was so quick that Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but tear up, and felt very worried about Li Zhenyan, for fear that she would not be able to bear the major blow of losing her father.

Mao Wenlong smiled disapprerovingly: "Originally, the Taoist Chief's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao was also ingenious, but now that the capital of Zhao has fallen, there is no point in sneaking up again." And Amin has always had different ambitions, so I don't want to leave when I see him garrisoning Seoul. Now there is no need for this soldier to act rashly, just wait and see what happens. ”

Zhu Youzhen only felt that the blood in his chest was surging, and he said again and again: "Lord General Soldier, there may be internal contradictions, but they always want to kill me!" Now that their forces are scattered, it is a good time to use them; Besides, if North Korea really dies, the strength of the Jurchens will increase sharply, and it will be even more difficult to deal with in the future! Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the general soldier does not think about the Koreans, he must take the opportunity to recover the Dongjiang River and rescue the Han people there! ”

Mao Wenlong smiled conceitedly: "The Taoist doesn't have to worry too much, this soldier has his own arrangements." As for the Han people in Dongjiang, what do you care about them? It has been almost a month since Amin captured Dongjiang, and it is estimated that those people have also been almost killed. ”

"They are all the people of the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Youzhen really didn't expect Mao Wenlong to say this, and shouted with anger.

"Daoist, you don't understand," Mao Wenlong said lightly, "Those Han people are all homeless, and the imperial court doesn't bother to care about them, I, Mao Wenlong, have placed them in the Dongjiang River, let them support themselves, pay some money, grain and taxes, and have done their best!" The cavalry is fierce, and the frontal battle is purely self-deprecating, how can this soldier damage my elite in order to protect these outcasts? ”

"Isn't it okay to take them to the island?" Zhu Youzhen asked unrelentingly.

"The Taoist also saw it, how big is this Phi Island, how can there be surplus land and food to feed them?" Mao Wenlong sneered, "Anyway, the homeless people are like leeks, they cut a stubble and a stubble, and after all the captives are returned to Liaodong, the soldiers will recover the Dongjiang River without blood, and then recruit them." ”

At this point, Zhu Youzhen was completely dead to the cold-blooded Mao Wenlong, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense to him about Zhou Yi's metaphysics, and returned to his residence in a hobbling manner. Li Zhenyan saw that his expression was different, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Your Highness, your face is not very good-looking, is the wound painful?" Let Jeong-yeon help you to bed..."

Zhu Youzhen hesitated again and again, but still sighed and said: "Zhenyan, I wanted to hide it from you for a while, but sooner or later you will know, it is better to have a long pain than a short pain!" ”

As he spoke, he told Lee Jung-yeon the story of the fall of Seoul and the death of Lee Jung.

Before Li Zhenyan could finish listening, she was already screaming in sorrow, spitting blood and fainting on the ground. Zhu Youzhen hurriedly carried her to the bed with Herzhe, pinching and beating her in the front and back.

After a long time, Li Zhenyan woke up leisurely, and immediately hugged Zhu Youzhen and said sadly: "Your Highness, North Korea has died, my father is gone, and Zhenyan is homeless!" ”

Zhu Youzhen knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, it was better to let Li Zhenyan cry happily and release her grief. Therefore, he just hugged her tightly in his arms, stroked her hair, and let Li Zhenyan's tears soak his clothes.

After Li Zhenyan's sad voice stopped for a while, Zhu Youzhen said in a deep voice: "Zhenyan, don't worry, North Korea will not die!" Now that your brother Li Liang has escaped, I believe that from now on, he will completely dispel his illusions about Jianyu. Even if he still has to bow his knees and surrender, I am still here! But there are three inches of gas, I will not sit back and watch Jianyu annex North Korea, and then clamp down on the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Your Highness!" Li Zhenyan fell into Zhu Youzhen's arms again and wept and wept, but she also choked up and said fiercely, "Zhenyan and Jianyu have no common hatred, if His Royal Highness can still lead the troops to crusade against Jianyu, Zhenyan will definitely charge into battle, not revenge for killing his father, and swear not to be a man!" ”
