However, Toyotomi Shixu still firmly believes that although Liaoyang Mansion is an important town, it is different from Laiyuan City, in Laiyuan, a large amount of grain and ordnance were specially transported and stored before the war, but Liaoyang Mansion was not prepared, and the grain it reserves could never supply the 40,000 army for a long time.

Yelujing is also worried about the food problem now, Liaoyang Mansion has a lot of grain reserves, but to deal with 40,000 soldiers eating horses and chewing, but it can't last for ten days, after ten days, it is estimated that he can only kill horses to support, but Yelujing will never kill horses and eat meat, he would rather kill people and eat meat.

Liaoyang Mansion was temporarily in a stalemate outside the city.

However, Toyotomi Morihito led a large army to quickly advance towards Longhua Prefecture.

At this time, 120,000 Liao troops had been assembled in Shangjing.

Hearing that Tongzhou had fallen, the forty-two-year-old Yelu Lihu was the commander, and led 80,000 cavalry from Shangjing to Longhua Prefecture to resist the enemy. Yelu Li Hu is the third son of the Empress Dowager Shulu, the younger brother of Yelu Deguang, when Yelu Deguang of Liao Taizong reigned, he set up Yelu Li Hu as the emperor's younger brother, and concurrently served as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses.

Ben was implicated by the Empress Dowager Shulu and was idle by Yelu Jing, but at this critical juncture of life and death, Ye Lu Jing also wanted to open it and let him lead the army again to fight against Fusang.

The distance from Tongzhou to Longhua Prefecture is not as close as that from Shangjing to Longhua Prefecture, and Yelu Lihu led all cavalry, so when Toyotomi Shouren led his army to cross the Liao River and rushed to fifty miles away from Longhua Prefecture, he collided head-on with Yelu Lihu's cavalry army.

One can imagine how bloody this battle was.

The 110,000 Fusang Army and the 80,000 Liao Army cavalry launched a large-scale battle in Longhua Prefecture.

Even though the Fuso army chose the terrain. Even though the Fuso army fought with a phalanx of spears, even though the soldiers of the Fusang army were tenacious.

In just one day, the Liao army annihilated the main force of the 60,000 Fusang Army with less than 20,000 casualties. At this point, Toyotomi Shouren's troops were exhausted and could not resist the attack of the Liao cavalry.

As a result, Toyotomi Morihito ordered an immediate withdrawal across the Liao River and took all the ships with him.

After crossing the river, he burned all the ships and prepared to block the Liao army with the Liao River. But Toyotomi Morihito knew that this would not last long, so he quickly summoned Toyotomi Shixu in Liaoyang Prefecture. Ask about countermeasures.

……。

With the hard work of Baili Wuji, Zhou Xian was diagnosed by the imperial doctor at this time, and Zhou Xian was pregnant.

Under the planning of the officials of the Ming Kingdom, Jinling Mansion celebrated with the whole city.

And at this time. Baili Wuji is being "besieged" by Chen Yanzheng, Liu Renzhen, and Bian Hao.

"Your Majesty. The minister is outside the city of Jiangzhou, persuaded by His Majesty, His Majesty promised, if there is a northern expedition, he will let the minister lead the army to the north, and now the army has been trained to complete, and the minister comes to ask for war. Liu Renzhen said.

"Your Majesty, the minister and Your Majesty met at a small wine stall in Jingmen. The minister's wish in this life is to lead the army to recover Yanyun, and ask His Majesty to fulfill it. Chen Yanzheng said solemnly.

"Your Majesty. He was willing to be the vanguard of the Northern Expedition. Ben Ho played.

The three of them thought that this recovery of Yanyun was naturally enough for one general to go on the expedition, and the land route could not be combined, and it was not suitable for multiple armies to attack at the same time by sea route.

Baili Wuji was physically and mentally exhausted at this time, and he had already chosen the candidate for the north, that is, he would recruit himself.

Recovering Yanyun, that is my thousand-year-old wish, how can you compare with me. Baili Wuji slandered.

But what these three people said is indeed the truth, and Baili Wuji did promise them, and now it is reasonable to ask Baili Wuji to fulfill his promise.

So Baili Wuji wanted to use the strategy of delaying the army, and said: "The Northern Expedition is a foregone conclusion, except for Yanyun, the territory of Liao is huge, are you afraid that there is no time to go north?" “

The three of them were obviously stunned, isn't this recovering Yanyun's lost ground? But how could Your Majesty say that the territory of the Liao State could not be Your Majesty's intention to destroy Liao? The trio were clearly shocked by their thoughts.

Seeing the three of them in a daze, Baili Wuji laughed in his heart, and said: "The three Aiqing don't need to be anxious, I promise you that there will be a chance for you to go north, how about it?" ”

The three of them began to understand a little, the emperor's plan is very big, and it is also said that with the strength of the Ming army, why should he recruit another 200,000 new troops to recover Yanyun, with more than 100,000 troops stationed around Jinling Mansion, they can sweep away Yanyun.

Chen Yanzheng, Liu Renzhen, and Bian Hao responded in unison: "The ministers are reckless, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you." ”

Baili Wuji waved his hand and motioned for them to stand back.

After watching them leave, Baili Wuji came to the study again, looking at the map of Goryeo, Fusang, and Liao, Baili Wuji's heart was like a fire burning, nine years, and finally it was time to harvest.

Sun Shixu, Xu Shouren, I miss you. Baili Wuji suddenly roared loudly and presumptuously.

A tear quietly dripped down the map of Fuso with a roar, slowly seeping away.

……。

Guo Wei has clearly felt that there is something wrong in the court, and a group of old people before he became emperor began to act recklessly and arrogantly.

First of all, Qingyang assassinated Guo Yanqin who was greedy, forced the rebel party Xiang pheasant clan, and was dismissed by Guo Wei.

Then there was Ye Renlu, the assassin of Laizhou, who embezzled 15,000 horses of silk and 1,000 pieces of money, and after being captured, Guo Wei sent a messenger from the palace to give wine and food and said, You yourself have violated the law of the country, I have nothing to do! and thou shalt take care of thy mother. was given by Guo Wei to commit suicide.

Now, Gao Yunquan, the envoy of Zhangwu Jiedu (Zhiyanzhou, now Yan'anbei, Shaanxi), died, and his son Gao Shaoji, in order to inherit the throne of Jiedu, falsely claimed that his father was sick, and asked Guo Wei to appoint him as the governor of the army. He repeatedly lied to the foreign prisoners around Yanzhou, hoping to inherit his father's position.

Guo Wei suspiciously sent Zhang Renqian to Yanzhou to inspect the six houses, and Gao Shaoji mourned his father.

Guo Wei was furious when he heard this, and then ordered the envoy of Jing Nanjie (Zhizhou, now Bin County, Shaanxi) to divide his troops from Ruan to Yanzhou, and ordered Zhang Huaizhen to lead the forbidden army to the west to command Tun Yu and Yan. Under the shock of the army, Gao Shaoji became afraid, and in desperation, he handed over the affairs of the Yanzhou Military Government to the deputy envoy Zhang Kuangtu. Guo Wei then appointed Xiang Xunquan to know Yanzhou.

These are still trivial matters, the biggest hidden danger comes from Guo Wei's brother, the privy envoy, the servant of the door, Pingzhangshi Wang Jun, although this person is talentless, but he is also loyal to Guo Wei, so Guo Wei trusts him more and awards him a high-ranking official.

But now Wang Jun is proud of his achievements, and he doesn't take Guo Wei seriously anymore, not only when he speaks to Guo Wei, he often speaks disrespectfully, but even the prince Guo Rong's request to enter the court to see Guo Wei is blocked by Wang Jun and is not allowed to see him.

Wang Jun was also dissatisfied with Zheng Renzhi, Li Chongjin, Xiang Xun and others being promoted and reused by Guo Wei, and pretended to be sick and asked for dismissal. (To be continued......)
