Baili Wuji also has a purpose, that is, between Xijing and Kaijing in Goryeo, to pick up Sun Shixu and Xu Shouren on the ship.

The 200,000 recruits who remained in Jinling Mansion were used as reserves, and they could be transported to the north by ship at any time to replenish the battle losses of various armies.

Finally, the Second Army was ordered to take over Ezhou, where Liu Renzhen was now stationed, and the Xiong Ji Headquarters of the Third Army was ordered to take over Haozhou, where Bian Hao's Department was stationed.

As soon as the order was issued, the entire Ming court began to enter into intense scheduling and preparation.

Three years after the liberation, March 18, morning.

The Ming army of 90,000 troops boarded ships from Jinling, Jiangdu and Hangzhou and headed north.

Emperor Ming Baili Wuji led hundreds of officials to see off at the dock.

Baili Wuji personally poured the wine, held it in Liu Renzhen's hands, and said: "The general is here, clean up his homeland, raise the prestige of the country, and I will go north to congratulate the general in a few days." ”

Liu Renzhen knelt down and bowed: "The minister will lead a large army to wait for Your Majesty in Yanyun." ”

The sail shadow of the ship transporting the army gradually disappeared into the distance, and Baili Wuji's heart was full of pride and passion.

But at this time, Baili Wuji didn't know how many Ming soldiers would be bloodied in this Northern Expedition, and how difficult and cruel this battle was. Baili Wuji will not know that he will never see Liu Renzhen again.

……。

Toyotomi Shixu woke up quietly, shook his neck to look left and right, and found himself on the boat.

The guards beside him were standing beside him, and Toyotomi Shixu asked, "Where is this?" How could I be here? ”

When the guards heard Toyotomi Shixu's question, they saw that the lord was about to wake up, and they knelt down together and said, "Lord Regent forgives the sins, and your subordinates can't do anything when they see the current affairs." He knocked out the regent and took him away from the battlefield, and now we are on the Yalu River. Soon we will be back on the South Shore. ”

Toyotomi Shixu was taken aback, recalling the battlefield scene at that time, he had already collided head-on with the cavalry of the Liao army at that time, even if he was knocked out and taken away by the guards, how could the Liao army not pursue? Even though the more than 100,000 Fusang troops besieging the city were defeated, how could the 30,000 troops led by him escape?

"What about the 30,000 soldiers I have led? Did they retreat with me? ”

The guards all bowed their heads and were speechless, and Toyotomi Shixu was in a hurry. Said angrily: "Speak." ”

The guards said gloomily: "When the surrounding soldiers saw us escorting the regent's retreat, they all made way for the regent, and waited for us to retreat." Quickly closed and launched a surprise attack on the Liao army....... We retreated to the periphery, and gathered less than 3,000 men....... ”

Toyotomi Shixu was a little stunned, how could this Fuso Army soldier defend himself like this?

He worked hard to bring these Fuso people to Goryeo. And wage war with the Liao State. It was to let them die here, but now, there was a trace of remorse and pity in Toyotomi Shixu's heart.

Suddenly, Toyotomi Shixu thought of something and asked, "When you cross the river, can you burn the boats on the north bank?" ”

The guard replied, "Rest assured, Lord Regent, your subordinates have destroyed all the ships and left a hundred men to burn them. ”

Toyotomi Shixu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He asked, "Is there any news from Lord Guan Bai?" ”

The guard said: "A messenger has been sent to Lord Guan Bai. ”

Toyotomi Shixu nodded, just go back to the south bank. With Toyotomi Shouren guarding the Yalu River and Yi Erzhou, with the 130,000 Fuso Army soldiers on the south bank, maybe something can be done, but I hope Toyotomi Shouren can bring back more soldiers.

Toyotomi Shixu prayed in his heart.

At this time, Toyotomi Shouren led 40,000 Fusang troops to fight with 10,000 Liao army defenders in Longhua Prefecture.

Seeing that there was hope to capture Longhua Prefecture, the news came that more than 100,000 Fusang troops of Fengchen Shixu in Liaoyang Prefecture had been defeated.

Toyotomi Shouren sighed, at this time, it was useless to capture Longhua Prefecture, if it was attacked by the Liao army of Liaoyang Mansion and Shangjing, it was really no way to enter the ground.

As a result, Toyotomi Shouren led more than 30,000 Fuso troops to quickly retreat to Tongzhou.

But soon, thousands of Liao cavalry in Longhua Prefecture went out of the city and began to pursue, and in desperation, Toyotomi Shouren left 5,000 Fusang troops to block the attack in Tongzhou City and cover the retreat of the main force.

And these 5,000 Fusang troops will eventually fall into the heavy encirclement of the Liao army until they are annihilated.

Toyotomi Shouren couldn't care about it so much, it was his mission to let the Fuso army die on the battlefield, but he gradually felt a little unbearable.

Toyotomi Morihito retreated from Tongzhou again, and did not stabilize his footing until he crossed the Yalu River and reached Luzhou.

After contacting Toyotomi Shixu, it was found that the 570,000 Fusang troops who had landed in Goryeo were only 150,000 after this battle. The Liao army that was eliminated, except for the 80,000 people who took advantage of its unpreparedness and blocked the 80,000 infantry of Yelu Jing and the tens of thousands of infantry of Yelu Jing on the Yalu River, the rest of them in Liaoyang Prefecture and Longhua Prefecture cannot be counted, but the total will not exceed 30,000.

In this way, with 420,000 to 150,000, the battle loss ratio has reached nearly three to one.

What is even more disturbing is that of the 150,000 losses of the Liao army, nearly 100,000 were lost around the Yalu River.

In other words, it is because the Liao army is not good at water warfare.

In fact, only Yelu Lihu's 50,000 cavalry defeated the more than 100,000 troops of the Fusang army besieging Liaoyang with only a few thousand cavalry casualties.

The battle loss ratio is not only three to one, it should be thirty to one, or even more.

Toyotomi Shixu and Toyotomi Shouren naturally knew that the soldiers of the Fusang Army were not heroic in battle, and they could not be said to be not desperate, but the ordnance, physique, and war horses were too different.

The two of them have deeply realized why Baili Wuji is so jealous of the Liao army, and it took ten years to lay down such a bloody situation, and now, although the Liao army has suffered about 150,000 losses, it has not hurt its muscles and bones.

Toyotomi Shixu and the others began to worry in their hearts.

Now that the Fusang army no longer has the strength to cross the river to attack, the fact is that whether it can hold the Yalu River has also become a problem.

And Toyotomi Shixu and the others knew that according to the pre-agreement, at this time, Baili Wuji would send troops to the north, cut off the retreat route of the Fusang army to the south across the Tsushima Strait, and either send the remaining Fusang army to the Liao army, or starve to death on the land of Goryeo under the condition of cutting off supplies.

After ten years, Toyotomi Shixu's psychology has changed, and he begins to feel pity for the Fuso soldiers.

After much thought, he decided to take these Fuso soldiers home.

Toyotomi Shixu knew that he had disobeyed Baili Wuji's order, and he was also worried that Baili Wuji would not let go of these Fusang people, Toyotomi Shixu understood the strength of Peng Xiao's fleet too well, and he didn't need to do anything, as long as the Tsushima Strait was cut off, the Fuso soldiers could only wait for death, and there was a Liao army on the other side.

Therefore, Toyotomi Shixu thought of Toyotomi Morihito, and he needed Toyotomi Shohito's help.

As a result, Toyotomi Shixu sent a message to Toyotomi Morihito, asking for a meeting.

Toyotomi Morihito came to Uiju to meet with Toyotomi Shixu as promised.

When he heard that Toyotomi Shixu was going to disobey Baili Wuji's order and bring the remaining Fuso soldiers back to Fuso, Toyotomi Shouren was speechless, although Toyotomi Shouren also had a heart to bear, but it was impossible to say that he wanted to violate Baili Wuji's order for this.
