Chapter 839: Eccentric and Eccentric North Koreans

（0839）

[Today's third update is delivered! ] 】

Half a day later.

Ganghwa Island is a small island very close to Seoul, the capital of North Korea, with a total area of about 400 square kilometers. Because it is located in the middle of the sea, close to Seoul, the scenery of the island is so charming, and there are many places of interest, so after the establishment of the Joseon Kingdom, Ganghwa Island has always been regarded as the private domain of the royal family. Whether it is for daily play and enjoyment, or to escape the chaos of war during wartime, Ganghwa Island will be the first choice.

Before Zhang Zhun arrived, many people had already gathered on the dock of Ganghwa Island. Most of them were women, dressed in gorgeous clothes and posing gracefully, apparently welcoming the procession to Jang Zhun's arrival. It can be seen from the clairvoyant mirror that the people who stood on the pier to greet Zhang Zhun were the North Korean prince Li Hao, Jiashan doctor Wu Daji and others. Representatives of the Ming Kingdom, as well as Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Tinglin and others.

After putting down the clairvoyant mirror, Zhang Zhun vaguely felt that something was wrong. At first, he didn't notice anything wrong, but soon, he realized what was wrong. The wrong thing is that Fengpingjun Li Jue is not there. It stands to reason that Li Jue should definitely appear on such an occasion, but he didn't show up.

To a large extent, Zhang Zhun came to the DPRK this time because of the reason for military cooperation, which is to finalize the supreme principle of military cooperation with the DPRK side and lay a solid foundation for long-term military cooperation in the future. And Fengpingjun Li Jue is the military commander of the North Korean side, so of course he should appear. Lu Xiangsheng has appeared, and he should appear even more.

"My lord, it's a little strange, Li Jue is not here."

Wang Shide put down the clairvoyant mirror and said in a low voice.

Li Jue did not have a problem, not only Zhang Zhun found it, but Wang Shide also found it. Obviously, he realized that something was wrong. Li Jue is the military commander of the North Korean side, and the elite troops of the North Korea are all in the hands of this person. He is also the main leader of the Sino-North Korean Joint Command, and is on an equal footing with Lu Xiangsheng. It stands to reason that since Lu Xiangsheng has appeared, he must appear on the dock to show the principle of equality.

However, Li Jue just didn't show up. He did not appear at the pier, there are only two possibilities. The first one is that he wants to appear, but there is no way to appear, in other words, his body is ***. If this is the case, it means that the situation in the DPRK has changed unoptimistically. Li Jue has been activated several times, and has been deprived of military power several times. Could it be that he has been deprived of military power again at this time?

The second possibility is that Li Jue can come, but he can't. He may have been caught up in something. As the military commander of North Korea, Li Jue does have a lot to do. However, no matter how many reasons there are, they can't be more important than welcoming Zhang Zhun. If he really can't come to something important, it means that something big has also happened in North Korea. If it's not a big deal, do you need Li Jue to deal with it personally?

In short, whatever the case may be, it seems a bit strange. What is certain is that in North Korea, something must have happened that will cause Li Jue's absence. For the sake of Zhang Zhun's safety, it is necessary for him to remind Zhang Zhun to pay attention.

"My lord, look ......"

Li Jicheng also sensed that something was wrong, and said in a low voice.

Fengpingjun Li Jue has always been the closest to the Tiger Army, and as long as the Tiger Army arrives, he will inevitably appear. Li Jicheng and Li Jue's personal relationship is also good. But Zhang Zhun came, but he didn't appear. Whether there will be any problems here, no one dares to judge.

For the sake of Zhang Zhun's safety, Li Jicheng's suggestion was that Zhang Zhun not go ashore for the time being. As long as Zhang Zhun is still on top of the battleship, even if the North Koreans have great ability, they will not be able to harm Zhang Zhun who can get it. Li Jicheng is still very confident in this point. The ten saber-toothed ships of the First Fleet are not for nothing.

"Li Hao is there."

"Lu Xiangsheng is there."

Zhang Zhun said quietly.

He doesn't need to explain, everyone else understands what he means. Li Hao is the legal heir of the king of North Korea and the next king of North Korea, if the North Korean side wants to make trouble, Li Hao will definitely not be allowed to appear here. They wouldn't even want their own prince in order to be unfavorable to Zhang Zhun, right? If the North Koreans were really so ruthless, Zhang Zhun would have to impress them. However, this possibility is basically zero.

As for Lu Xiangsheng here, the problem is even simpler. With Lu Xiangsheng's character, he will definitely not be coerced. Since he appeared here, it means that there is no abnormal situation around him, and he appears here normally. Unless it was the North Koreans who hid Lu Xiangsheng from him, Lu Xiangsheng didn't know what Li Jue was busy with. However, with the ability of the North Koreans, it may not be so easy to hide from Lu Xiangsheng.

"Go ashore!"

Zhang Zhun said quietly.

Dugu Hunt and the others took the lead in going ashore, crossing the dock and controlling the commanding heights around them. All around the wharf were officers and soldiers of the Korean Janissary. They observed and found nothing unexpected, so they quietly made a gesture and asked Zhang Zhun to get off the boat.

Li Jicheng's flagship put down the springboard, and Li Hao immediately got on the boat, rushing towards Zhang Zhun almost at a trot, and shouted enthusiastically: "Master, you are finally here, you want to kill me!" I thought you didn't want to come! ”

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Hehe, didn't I come?" Hehe, looking at your appearance, it seems that you have a lot of tan, have you been actively exercising these days? ”

Li Hao replied proudly: "Of course, I exercise every day!" By the way, master, I also learned to swim recently! Master, you see, I dare to go down to the sea next to the pier. Last time, I scared my mother so much that she thought I had fallen into the water and desperately shouted for help. I deliberately floated in the water, deliberately scaring her. ”

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "You! Don't be so naughty in the future! What do you do to scare your mother? What if something goes wrong? You're not the one who suffers in the end? ”

Li Hao said obediently: "Later, I won't be scared." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, got off the boat with Li Hao, and walked towards the palace on Jianghua Island.

Li Hao said with a smile: "Master, you go to Chuandeng Temple to rest first, and the banquet in the evening will be held in Pumen Temple." The menu of the banquet was arranged by me personally, and it will definitely be very appetizing to the chef. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually, "Where is Empress Yi'an?" ”

Li Hao hurriedly replied: "The queen is in the Pure Water Temple." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and didn't say anything more.

These so-called temples are actually the palaces of the Joseon Kingdom, but they just use the names of the temples to avoid people's eyes. Of course, there must be real temples, and there must be real monks, but they don't occupy the mainstream.

"Lord Lu, how is the plan to attack Iron Mountain prepared?"

When Zhang Zhun went ashore, he turned his head and asked Lu Xiangsheng.

The relationship between him and Lu Xiangsheng is still a little stiff, and every time Zhang Zhun talks to Lu Xiangsheng, he looks like he is doing business. Presumably, Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to have a personal relationship with Zhang Zhun La. This Lu Jiutai has never had a personal relationship.

"It's all set."

Sure enough, Lu Xiangsheng replied businesslikely.

"Tell me about the situation."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly.

One of the main purposes of his visit to the DPRK was to determine the joint command system between China and the DPRK. The troops, deployments, commands, and coordination of the two sides should be formally written down in black and white. The North Koreans will not unilaterally agree on these things with Lu Xiangsheng, and they must agree on a general framework with Zhang Zhun before they can contact Lu Xiangsheng.

"Your Excellency, please listen."

Lu Xiangsheng said loudly.

According to his account, the number of troops that the Joseon royal family could concentrate was about 30,000 people, all of which were under the command of Li Jue, the king of Fengping. The elite of the army, mainly from the Praetorian Guard. In terms of the Tiger Army, the main force is the Pinzi Battalion led by Zhang Lingyun, with a strength of about 1,500 people.

On the enemy's side, the main force was the five Niulu Tartars stationed at Iron Mountain, about 1,300 people. The rest are North Korean rebels, estimated at more than 40,000 people. Among them, Shen Qiyuan's troops were slightly weaker, with only more than 10,000 people. Zheng Taijie's troops are relatively strong, with more than 20,000 people. According to intelligence, after the news of the defeat of the Tartars in Beizhili, the military morale of these Korean rebels was not very stable, and their combat effectiveness may have declined.

The battle area discussed by Lu Xiangsheng and Li Jue was mainly held near Tieshan. The combined forces of China and North Korea will attack the enemy in two directions. The Tiger Army was mainly responsible for dealing with the Tartars, and the Korean Janissaries were mainly responsible for dealing with the rebels. As long as the battle is won, the Tatars will be expelled from the Korean Peninsula and the Korean rebels will be completely defeated. Basically, from now on, there will be no more fighting on the Korean Peninsula, and the situation in North Korea will be stabilized.

"By the way, what about Li Jue?"

Zhang Zhun asked seemingly very casually.

"Ah...... He had something to do, and he was busy. ”

Li Hao replied subconsciously, not daring to look at Zhang Zhun's eyes.

Problematic!

Zhang Zhun immediately concluded that Li Hao was lying.

"What about Li Jue?"

Zhang Zhun turned his head and asked Lu Xiangsheng.

"He went on a mission with his troops, the strict order of the king of Korea."

Lu Xiangsheng replied with a straight face.

From his face, Zhang Zhun couldn't see anything wrong. Perhaps, this Li Jue did lead the troops on a mission. The question is, at this time, what is more important than your own arrival? It seems that there is indeed a bit of an inside story in this!

While talking, the group arrived at the Chuandeng Temple. It is a very old temple that existed in the 4th century and can be said to be the oldest building in Ganghwa Island. The North Korean side arranged for Jang Joon to live in the Chuandeng Temple, naturally to show respect.

Li Hao's enthusiastic Zhang Luo and Zhang Zhun stopped, and after running, he almost had to bring *** water to Zhang Zhun in person. Zhang Zhun is a little delusional, as if this little prince is a little too positive? It stands to reason that there is no need for him to be so positive! Looking at him, it's like a child who has done something wrong and wants to find a way to make up for something.

Zhang Zhun couldn't help but ask, "Li Hao, are you okay!" ”

Li Hao hurriedly replied: "Master, I'm fine." ”

Zhang Zhun looked at him suspiciously for a moment, and said slowly: "You're okay, right?" ”

Li Hao hurriedly replied: "It's nothing." Really, nothing. ”

Zhang Zhun secretly said to himself in his heart, you kid, you know that something is wrong at a glance. Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, this is what the ancients said was dead. However, since you don't say it, I don't bother to ask. I believe that you North Koreans, at this time, will not do anything with bad brains. Nodding slightly, Zhang Zhun said casually: "It's okay, it's okay." Li Jue is fine, right? ”

Li Hao hurriedly replied: "It's okay." Uncle Feng Pingjun is fine, he just has some things that he needs to deal with personally, and he doesn't have time to greet you, master. Master, don't worry, we're really fine. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "Since that's the case, you can get busy first." I'm a little tired and want to take a break. ”

Li Hao hurriedly agreed.

Before leaving, Li Hao told Zhang Zhun that the dinner would be held in Pumen Temple. When the time comes, his father, the king of North Korea, Li Zong, will personally come over to invite Zhang Zhun. Of course, he, the little prince, will naturally come with his father.

Zhang Zhun wandered around the boat for two days, and he was indeed a little tired, so he entered the arranged wing room and fell asleep. He was sleeping in a daze, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, followed by someone whispering. Zhang Zhun frowned and asked, "What to do?" ”

Lu Yidian said in a low voice: "My lord, the North Koreans seem to be searching for someone. ”

Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "Search? Does it have anything to do with us? ”

Lu Yidian said: "No. ”

Zhang Zhun said: "Let them go, it's not against us." ”

After a pause, Zhang Zhun said casually: "By the way, send someone to ask the North Korean side who they are searching." If you need our help, we can help. ”

Lu Yidian agreed.

Zhang Zhun didn't take this matter to heart and continued to sleep. Unexpectedly, not long after falling asleep, Lu Yidian came in to report that the Korean prince Li Hao was here again.

"Li Hao?"

"Is this kid free?"

Zhang Zhun couldn't help but be suspicious.

Li Hao just left, why did he run back again? He, the prince of North Korea, doesn't he have to do anything? Full-time errands? Shop for the second?

"Let him in!"

Zhang Zhun got up and said casually.

After a while, Li Hao came in, and hurriedly said, "Master, we are arresting a fugitive, you must not take it to heart." ”

Zhang Zhun said in surprise: "Fugitives? ”

Li Hao looked a little strange and said, "Yes, fugitives." ”

Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said casually, "Oh, I see." Need our help? ”

Li Hao hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, waved his hand, and signaled that Li Hao could leave.

After Li Hao said goodbye, Zhang Zhun's suspicions became more and more intense. I just asked casually, the North Korean side actually sent Li Hao to explain in person, which is really a little weird. What are these North Koreans trying to do?
