Chapter 1376 - Seeking Perfection (Second Update)
"Lord Jin, don't worry about this matter, the lower officials have already thought of countermeasures."
Seeing that Jin Zongrui did not have the confidence to mobilize the new Korean army to attack the Hancheng Division, Pu Liang smiled slightly and said, "The Xuanwutang Divisional Office is left to the lower officials to deal with, and the adults only need to block the reinforcements of the Ming army." ”
Jin Zongrui was slightly stunned when he heard this, he never expected that Pu Liang would attack the Hancheng Division of Jiangwutang on his own, did he want to call on the troops of the Inner Third Hall? This was the only possible armed force that could be used by Puliang in Seoul, and it was not influenced by the instructors in the military attache regiment of the Ming army.
"Deputy Lieutenant Park, you must know that there are hundreds of brave and skilled soldiers in the secretariat, and the building is tall and sturdy, designed and built according to the requirements of a military fortress, if you want to force your way in, you will probably be trapped inside."
Subsequently, Jin Zongrui looked at Pu Liang with a serious expression, not optimistic about Pu Liang's plan.
Therefore, in addition to the fact that there are many proud soldiers and fierce generals of the Ming army in the office, its tall and thick buildings constitute a huge fortress, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Jin Zongrui had seen the internal structure of the office with his own eyes, so he did not think that Pu Liang and the others would have the ability to capture the office before the Ming reinforcements arrived, and a fierce offensive and defensive battle would break out between the two sides.
"Lord Jin, the matter is man-made, although the Ming Wutang's office in Seoul is strong, but our army suddenly attacked, and when they reacted, our army had already entered the office and controlled the situation inside."
Pu Liang naturally knew what Jin Zongrui meant, smiled slightly when he heard this, and said in high spirits, "I don't know if Lord Jin has thought about it, although the city defense of the Wutang Division is strong, but it is like a big iron cover, firmly covering the loyal prince, as long as we rush to the residence of the loyal prince in one breath, then the loyal prince will have no escape and become our prisoner!" ”
There is no doubt that if he can catch a meritorious Prince of Ming like Li Yuntian, then Pu Liang's name will definitely go down in history, which makes him look forward to it.
Looking at Park Liang with his eyes shining, Jin Zongrui sighed secretly, and couldn't help shaking his head, he also came from a young age, so he naturally knew what Park Liang was thinking now, if this adventure was successful, he would be a hero of North Korea, and his heroic deeds would forever be recorded in history.
From Pu Liang's reaction, Jin Zongrui knew that he couldn't listen to what Pu Liang said now, it seemed that tonight's sneak attack on the Daming Lecture Wutang Office was unavoidable, which made him feel anxious in his heart for a while, and he didn't know what to do, once Pu Liang led the army to attack the Daming Lecture Wutang Hancheng Office, then the consequences would be beyond his imagination.
"Lord Jin, for the sake of North Korea, for the sake of His Royal Highness, I hope that you can come forward and set an example, assist us in intercepting the reinforcements of the Ming army, and buy time for us to find the loyal prince."
Pu Liang saw Jin Zongrui standing there with a pale face, so he bowed quietly and said, "If the adult can't agree to the lower official, then the lower official can only offend the adult." ”
When Jin Zongrui heard this, the corners of his eyebrows suddenly raised slightly, he naturally knew the meaning of "offended", I was afraid that Pu Liang would use force to force him to submit, this time the entourage brought by Pu Liang were all tall and well-trained people, and at first glance it was specifically to deal with him.
Although Jin Zongrui's skills are very good, he is old after all, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and if he really fights, he will definitely suffer.
Most importantly, Kim Jong-seo is worried about the safety of Kim Seung-gyu's family, and now Park Liang can be said to have lost his mind, and he can do anything in order to attack the Ming Dynasty Martial Arts Hall.
"What do you want this officer to do?" After being silent for a while, Jin Zongrui put down the sword in his hand, looked at Pu Liang with a grim face, and after thinking twice, he decided to give up resistance for the safety of his family, otherwise even the rest of the mansion might suffer.
"My lord, at that time, you just need to go to the barracks and tell those generals that there are Japanese robbers who have infiltrated the city, and want to pretend to be the Ming army to the disadvantage of the loyal prince, and those soldiers will definitely follow your lord to block the reinforcements of the Ming army with all their might."
The corners of Pu Liang's mouth suddenly flashed a smug smile, and he said confidently to Jin Zongrui, "As long as the adults can block the reinforcements of the Ming army, then the lower officials will turn the affairs office upside down and find the loyal prince!" ”
Seeing this, Jin Zongrui couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, it was obvious that the hot-headed Pu Liang had thought things too simply, how could things be as easy as he thought?
"Okay, the official is willing to help you, but you have to promise not to hurt the official's people!" But now the situation is like an arrow on the bow, Jin Zongrui knew that he couldn't stop Pu Liang, so he decided to wait and see what happened and then think of getting out, so he said to Pu Liang with a gloomy face.
"Xia Guan knows that the Lord is the mainstay of North Korea, and he will definitely not sit back and watch the Ming annex North Korea." Hearing this, Pu Liang was immediately overjoyed, and said in a loud voice, "Don't worry, your family's family will definitely be safe." ”
When Jin Zongrui heard this, a helpless look appeared on his face, where did he still have a choice in front of the aggressive Pu Liang.
At the same time, in the main hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace.
"Your Highness, General Zhao asks to see you." Li Xuan was practicing calligraphy in a room, and an attendant hurriedly walked in and bowed to report.
"Please." Li Xuan frowned when he heard this, put down the wolf pen in his hand and said.
The "General Zhao" in the mouth of the chamberlain refers to the general of the Xiaowu Army who is in charge of the affairs of Gyeongbokgung Palace, and Li Xuan's every word and deed must be monitored by him, so Li Xuan has to see him no longer willing in his heart, in a sense, General Zhao holds Li Xuan's life and death.
"King of Joseon, Lord Zhong is invited, please ask the King of Joseon to change his clothes and go to the Lecture Hall Office with his subordinates." Soon, a burly middle-aged general strode in, bowed to Li Xuan and said, he is General Zhao.
Although General Zhao is not very old, his qualifications are extremely profound, he graduated from the first phase of the lecture martial arts, and once participated in the wars in Shandong, Jiaozhi and Liaodong with Li Yuntian, and was an important general of the Liaodong Xiaowu Army.
It is precisely because of such a brilliant resume that Li Yuntian let him be in charge of the security affairs of Gyeongbokgung Palace, which can be described as the descendant of Li Yuntian's lineage.
As he spoke, a military attache who was following General Zhao held a brand new set of Xiaowu military uniforms in both hands and handed it to the chamberlain standing on the side, asking the chamberlain to change into Li Xuan.
"This ......" Li Xuan glanced at the military uniform of the Xiaowu Army in the hand of the chamberlain in surprise, he didn't know what this meant, it was a little abnormal for Li Yuntian to let him go to the Hancheng Office of the Wutang so late, and now he had to change into the military uniform of the Xiaowu Army, which made him confused.
"The prince said that he would explain to the king of Korea when he arrived." General Zhao knew that Li Xuan was puzzled, but it was inconvenient for him to tell Li Xuan the truth, so he bowed slightly and said.
Li Xuan knew that he couldn't find the answer from General Zhao, so he returned to the dormitory to change his clothes with a stomach full of doubts, secretly guessing why Li Yuntian would recruit him in such a strange way.
"Your Royal Highness, will Lord Zhong be unfavorable to His Highness?" In the dormitory, the princess asked in a worried whisper while changing Li Xuan's clothes.
Because the time and way in which Li Yuntian summoned Li Xuan tonight seemed too strange, the princess was very worried about this, for fear that Li Xuan would be in trouble.
"No, it won't." Li Xuan shook his head after groaning for a while when he heard this, and comforted the princess with a smile, "Now everyone knows that this king is under the 'protection' of the Ming army, and the loyal prince will definitely not attack this king at this time, presumably there must be something inconvenient for the outside world to know to tell this king, so I let this king change into the military uniform of the Ming army." ”
"Besides, the edict of the Ming Emperor has not yet arrived, and it is still useful for the loyal prince to keep this king, and he will not let this king have an accident." Speaking, Li Xuan said without self-deprecation, his face looked extremely lost and gloomy, and his heart ached faintly at the thought of annexing North Korea to the Ming Dynasty, and what kind of face would he have to face the ancestors and ancestors under Jiuquan in the future.
But then again, in front of the powerful Li Yuntian, Li Xuan did not have the slightest power to fight back, even if he refused to annex Korea into the Ming Dynasty, Li Yuntian would also achieve this goal through the new king of Joseon, and then his young brothers would be infamy, so it was better for him to bear the responsibility for this matter.
When the princess heard this, a hanging heart suddenly let go, although she and Li Xuan were imprisoned in the main hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace to think, but life and everything was not difficult by the Ming army as before, but they couldn't leave the hall.
Therefore, the princess also felt that Li Yuntian would not be unfavorable to Li Xuan, otherwise there was no need to be so troublesome, and Li Xuan could be killed casually.
After changing into the military attache uniform of the Xiaowu Army, Li Xuan's identity suddenly changed from the king of Joseon to a captain military attache of the Xiaowu Army, and General Zhao sent a lieutenant colonel military attache to escort Li Xuan to the Hancheng Division of the Wutang in the night.
At night, the Seoul Office of the Lecture Hall was silent, and the guards in front of the gate patrolled in front of the door as usual.
According to the regulations of the Lecture Hall Division, the guards at the door will be on duty until three o'clock in the evening, that is, the door will be closed for rest at about 9:45 p.m.
Therefore, when Li Xuan and his entourage of more than ten people arrived at the Hancheng Office of the Jiangwutang, the door of the Jiangwutang was still open, and they entered the door unimpeded.
At this moment, on the second floor of a small two-story building facing the street diagonally opposite the Seoul Secretariat, several figures were sneakily hiding in the darkness and monitoring the movement at the gate of the Seoul Secretariat.
Because Li Xuan was wearing the uniform of the military attache of the Xiaowu Army, and the light was dim at night, they were far away, and they didn't find that there would be Li Xuan among the dozen or so Ming troops who entered the door.
And Li Xuan never imagined at this time that someone would secretly spy on the Hancheng Department of Jiangwutang, and the person who was monitoring was still a sergeant of the internal guard, and what was waiting for him would be an unexpected storm.
