Li Shi, a Korean general, is also experienced and experienced in combat. This Li Shigang supported Li Liang's ascension to the throne, and whether he could be won over seems to be a big unknown.

Li Wei has become jealous of Li Shi, and Li Shi's attitude towards Li Wei has also become jealous. There is jealousy and suspicion among the monarchs and ministers, and it is inevitable that they will be uneasy. But Li Shi can't be jealous of our Daming, because our Daming won't be jealous of him Li Shi. Mao Wenlong analyzed firmly: "As long as the adult sends a letter, Li Shi will inevitably respond." ”

Zhao Yan took a deep look at Mao Wenlong, and Mao Wenlong hurriedly bowed his head. Obviously, Zhao Yan figured out Mao Wenlong's psychology of the Korean monarch and ministers so thoroughly, and felt that something was wrong. Of course, this is not something that Zhao Yan should consider, and Mao Wenlong is not at the level of the Korean general Li Shi.

"Okay, then the official will send a letter and see how this Li Shi reacts." Zhao Yan agreed, and then said to Mao Wenlong: "Don't be too anxious to send troops to North Korea, the Dongjiang Army will prepare first." ”

"Yes, sir." Mao Wenlong bowed in response.

At this time in North Korea, Li Liang had just ascended to the throne, so it was naturally time to sit in a row and divide the fruits. It's just that Li Shi, the key figure in this successful coup, was sent to Ping'an Road.

Li Shi, who arrived at Ping'an Road, did not cry or make trouble, and seemed extraordinarily calm. However, as soon as he arrived, he began to train soldiers, strengthen the city walls, set up city walls, equip them with firearms, and put on the appearance of concentrating on defense.

Li Shih's move, although it had little impact on the North Korean court. But a discerning person can see that Li Shi is supporting the army and respecting himself.

It is clear that after the successful coup d'état. Li Shi didn't get what he wanted. A few sesame petty officials with tongues. But it climbed on his head, and it was inevitable that he would be angry in his heart.

On this day, the messenger of Daming came, and after Li Shi read the letter written by Zhao Yan, his expression changed for a while, and then he said to the messenger: "The matter is very important, let me think about it for a few days, the messenger is tired, it is better to stay and rest for a few days." ”

"If the general has doubts. But despite the opening. The messenger said to Li Shi.

Li Shi paused, and then said: "This time the kingdom intends to interfere in North Korea, I don't know what the determination is?" ”

"The Holy One has made up his mind." The messenger replied. Li Shi's expression suddenly became invigorated, and he asked, "Then when can you send troops?" What about the troops? ”

"If the general is willing to do it, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can wave troops to Korea at any time. The generals need nothing to worry about. The messenger did not reveal any further information.

"Alright! I'll have an answer in a day. Li Shi still didn't make an immediate decision to send the messenger to rest. Li Shi pondered this question uncertainly.

The reason why Li Shi was hesitant was because he had just arrived in Ping'an Dao, and although he had more than 30,000 troops in his hands, he had not yet been thoroughly trained.

If the thunder is loud and the rain is small, let him go. That's sad.

Li Shi, who couldn't make up his mind, hurriedly found a few subordinates to discuss.

"General. There is no room for hesitation at this time. After Li Liang ascended to the throne, we did not get any benefit at all. And if you don't strike first, I'm afraid the general will not be able to protect himself in the future. Since the kingdom intends to intervene in Korea, if the general does not respond, when the kingdom breaks through Seoul, you will be a rebellious general. But if the general is anyway, the kingdom will definitely not treat the general badly. And it is impossible for the kingdom to be suspicious of the general. Even if it fails, the general will take us to the kingdom without worrying about our lives. ”

"Yes! General, we have made so much effort for Li Kun, but we have not gained anything, we are really unkind, if the general does not rebel, he will inevitably suffer in the future. ”

A group of subordinates were obviously extremely dissatisfied with Li Shi, and the coup d'état before was basically all contributed by Li Shi's troops, and those Westerners were just talking about him, and they could talk about him Li Shi, and they also gave a lot of promises in advance. But after the matter was done, the Westerners Party did not admit it, how did they swallow this breath?

Li Shi listened to the words of several subordinates, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, if we don't respond to Shangguo at this time, after Shangguo breaks through Seoul, we will definitely be able to pacify Korea very smoothly, and it will be too late for us to respond then." Li Shi clapped his hands and said, "The most important thing is that it is impossible for the kingdom to be jealous of me. ”

Li Wei was jealous of Li Shi, and that was because Li Shi's military power threatened Li Wei. But if it was the Ming Dynasty that intervened in North Korea, then the situation would be completely different. The forces in Li Shi's hands obviously can't threaten the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible for the Great Tomorrow to be jealous of Li Shi.

In this way, he Li Shi can be as stable as Mount Tai.

Originally, Li Shi didn't have the idea of becoming the king of Joseon, but just wanted to be a general and gain class benefits. Such a scale of ambition is tolerable to the Ming Dynasty.

Even if the Ming Dynasty's intervention in North Korea is thunder and rain, he Li Shi may not lose. Even if you lose, it's a big deal to run to Daming to take refuge.

"General, in the past two years, the new monarch of Shangguo has ascended the throne, although he lost Shenyang and Liaoyang in Liaodong, but after that, he regrouped and won several battles in Liaodong one after another. In terms of military strength, it is fully capable of interfering with North Korea. If the Son of Heaven is resolute, coupled with the strength of our troops, it will definitely be easy to break through Seoul. ”

"General, make a decision!"

"Since everyone thinks so, let's write back." Li Shi finally made a decision, and immediately asked someone to write a reply letter and send it to the messenger.

A few days later, Zhao Yan received a reply. Seeing Li Shi's response, Zhao Yan immediately ordered 20,000 troops and landed in North Korea. Phi Island is very close to North Korea, and it is next to Pyongan Road.

The landing went extremely smoothly and there was no fighting. Because Pyongan Province is Li Shi's territory, Li Shi has agreed to attack Seoul together, and there is no suspense about this armed intervention in North Korea.

Li Shi ordered 30,000 troops, and after joining up with the Dongjiang army, he immediately waved his troops south.

Under the guidance of Li Shi, the party leading the way, the coalition army was like a bamboo. Li Liang, who was receiving the fruits of victory in Seoul, was stunned after receiving the news.

This news was also like a thunderbolt, which shocked the Korean civil and military officials in Seoul into panic and panic.

"The kingdom has sent troops? Sent troops so soon? What about the missions we sent to the kingdom to plead our case? When Li Wei received the news, he sat down dejectedly.

"Your Highness, our mission has only been on the road for three days, and I'm afraid we have just arrived in Dengzhou."

Li Liang, who successfully usurped the throne, had also considered the issue of legitimacy before, and whether a country like North Korea was legitimate in recent years depends on the meaning of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Li Liang still sent a delegation to Denglai to plead to Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai. (To be continued......)
