Chapter 633: Despair to Hope
At the temporary garrison military headquarters of the Pyongyang Tiger and Leopard Army, Zhao Yunzheng was in deep thought with a solemn face.
As for the table in front of Zhao Yun, there was an order from Wei Zheng to let go of the remnants of the Korean army and force them to negotiate and turn Korea into a colony of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
However, in the middle of the vast mountains around Pyongyang, not to mention 20,000 people, even if it is 200,000 or 300,000 people, as long as he is willing to hide, you will not be able to find it.
Besides, Ren Zu still had 20,000 troops in his hands, plus the Korean people's support for his Lee dynasty. Zhao Yun didn't know if he would accept such a strict request, and whether he would be willing to be the puppet king of Haw Par Arm-controlled Korea.
Of course, at this moment, the most important issue in front of Zhao Yun is how to find Ren Zu and let Ren Zu know that we do not intend to destroy North Korea, but want to negotiate with him.
At this moment, the commander of the Seventh Division on the side seemed to think of something?
His eyes lit up and he said, "Commander, in the vast mountains, we really can't find the movement of the North Korean army...... However, just because we can't find it doesn't mean that others can't find it......"
"In total, we captured thousands of North Koreans in Pyongyang. These people are all the ministers of the DPRK and are the leading figures in the DPRK. Of course, among them, there are also soldiers of the same status as us. ”
"Since they are all North Korean soldiers, they must be familiar with the North Korean army and the vast mountains around Pyongyang City. If they are allowed to look for it, they will definitely be able to find the specific location of the Korean army and send the news that we want to negotiate to Ren Zu. “
So, dozens of officers and soldiers of the North Korean army. A North Korean minister. Directly under Zhao Yun's orders. With the letters, leave the city of Pyongyang.
In the eyes of these dozens of North Koreans, even if it is a conspiracy of the Haw Par Army, they can easily defuse it.
Because, as long as you enter the vast mountains, even if the Haw Par Army wants to track itself and find the location of the main army. You can easily get rid of them.
So, dozens of people circled the vast mountains for two days. After making sure that no one is following behind you. Without any further hesitation, he went straight to the mountain, where tens of thousands of troops could be hidden.
In the face of the two choices of starvation and the annihilation of the whole army, the king of Joseon, Ren Zu, resolutely chose to go hungry.
In his eyes, Daming has a sentence that is very suitable for him, that is: the green mountains left are here, and they are not afraid of no material to burn. As long as he is alive, there is hope for North Korea.
So, Ren Zu who made the decision. resolutely led the army and hid in the depths of the mountains.
It's not. Less than ten days have passed, and the limited grain and grass in his hands have been completely consumed.
During this period, although the grain collection team that had gone out to collect grain returned, it was not easy to transport the soldiers into the vast mountains without horses and other livestock......
Therefore, in the dense forest, although there are people who carry it on their shoulders every day, they send a steady stream of food into the mountains. However, these soldiers are only enough for the whole army to eat seventy percent of the food.
More importantly, because the troops did not have any surplus food, once the Haw Par Army found itself, it would enrich the food route that they could endure to survive. Then in two days at most, the 20,000 soldiers under his command will collapse directly on the battlefield......
At this moment, Ren Zu, who was frowning, was thinking about the solution with a solemn face.
However, I had been in the small tent for a day, and I still couldn't think of any solution, and I didn't even have a clue.
At this moment, a guard suddenly rushed in and interrupted Ren Zu's thoughts.
Ren Zu, who was holding back his anger, how could he fart this opportunity to vent his anger.
A person who had been contemplative just now, at this moment, like an angry lion, roared loudly at the guards......
"Bastard, what do you take this king's order for? Didn't the king say that no one can break in unless the sky falls......"
Faced with the king in front of him, who could kill him at any time, the guard's face was immediately full of regret.
They should not have heard that they were from Pyongyang, and rushed into the tent in a fit of excitement.
But since he has rushed in, it is an arrow that shoots the bow and does not look back, so he can only move forward step by step.
Seeing that after venting in front of him, Ren Zu seemed to have a lot less anger...... The guard hurriedly said.
"Your Majesty, the last general has something important to report here...... Lord Wang, Lord Wang is open, and now he is outside the tent, waiting for your summons to the king......"
Ren Zu's tone was so unkind that he asked rhetorically: "Which king, this king has no one to see now, go out immediately......"
Just when the guards were ready to flee here with their faces full of the rest of their lives.
Ren Zu's voice, like a magic spell, sounded again.
"Wait a minute, you're not talking about Lord Tobe. No, wasn't he captured by the Haw Par Army in Pyongyang City, how could he be here......"
The guard nodded first, then shook his head again, and finally replied, "Your Majesty, it's Lord Wang who is here." As for the rest, the last general doesn't know...... Lord Wang is now outside the tent, and the king can ask Lord Wang directly for himself......"
A minister who had been captured by the Haw Par Army had now appeared in front of him.
Ren Zu's first thought was that this Lord Wang was sent by the Haw Par Army to persuade him to surrender and to be a lobbyist for the Haw Par Army.
However, thinking of Lord Wang's sincerity to himself at the beginning, after a short period of contemplation, Ren Zu still decided to meet him.
However, for this kind of person who has completely betrayed North Korea in Ren Zu's opinion, Ren Zu did not give him the slightest good face.
Therefore, as soon as this so-called Lord Wang appeared in front of him, Ren Zu asked with a sneer: "Lord Wang, do you think that even you think that North Korea is not far from the death of the country...... Otherwise, how could you be a lobbyist for the Haw Par Army......"
As soon as Ren Zu's words came out, this Lord Wang understood the specific reason why Ren Zu was lukewarm to himself, and even mocked him......
A trace of helplessness quickly flashed on his face full of doubts.
This Lord Wang hurriedly explained: "Wang Mingjian, the old minister is a Korean man in life, and a ghost in North Korea in death, and he swears allegiance to the king to the death, and will never betray the king and betray the ......."
Seeing the puzzled expression that quickly appeared on Ren Zu's face, this Lord Wang continued......
"The old minister came to see the king, although it was instructed by the Tiger and Leopard Army. However, all of these qiē are for the king, for the sake of the Joseon ......"
"Lao Chen is here to tell the king that the Haw Par Army doesn't seem to have the idea of letting me destroy the country...... The commander of the Haw Par Army asked Lao Chen to tell the king that the Haw Par Army intended to negotiate with the king, and as long as the negotiations were successful, the Haw Par Army would immediately withdraw from Korea......"
"Whether this is a conspiracy or not, Lao Chen thinks that this is an opportunity for the king, and we must seize ......"
After listening to what the minister said, Ren Zu's first reaction was suspicion. Because, at this moment, the Haw Par Army can be said to have taken the advantage, and there is no need to let go of oneself at all.
However, as this Lord said, if this is true, it is an unprecedented opportunity.
So, whether it's true or not, give it a try yourself. (To be continued......)
