Chapter 125: Goryeo God of War

Fantasy Immortal, Infinite Two-dimensional Heavens, this series of nouns were all heard by Zhu Yuanzhang from Zhu Yingrao.

"There is only one author of all these writings, and that is Qin Yu."

"Next, it's time to carry out the Ming Industrial Revolution that Mr. Qin said."

……

"Your Majesty, the military report from Liaoyang has arrived." At this time, the guard sent a note.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the fold and opened it to see that it was written by Hua Yunlong himself: Your Majesty, the minister has already led the army to Liaoyang. In the near future, they will cross the river and attack Li Chenggui's troops.

It was a military report of less importance, and it was only a report to the emperor about the itinerary, not an urgent military situation.

In ancient times, when the army went on an expedition, it would report the situation to the imperial court on time, and it was not necessary to have an emergency military situation to report.

Seeing that it was an ordinary military report, Zhu Yuanzhang threw it aside: "I don't know if Hua Yunlong can succeed in this battle, this battle is the first battle after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, taking the initiative to open up the territory to the outside world." ”

"It's also a battle to get a chicken mouth for the Daming rooster."

"The stakes are high and we must succeed. Otherwise, it will affect the morale of our Ming Dynasty and even affect the fortunes of the country. ”

"If you lose this battle, it will be difficult to start a war in the future."

In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were many elite soldiers, and he did not disarm. If the contradictions are not diverted from external conquests, it will be difficult for those elite soldiers to be settled. If they don't give them good treatment, they will be dissatisfied, after all, they have been born and died for the Ming Dynasty. Give them good treatment, and they will not know anything but war, and even have a violent personality, which is the party to the disaster.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to let them fight all the time, if Hua Yunlong was defeated this time, he could not start the war again due to pressure from all sides. How to place those elite soldiers will be a big problem.

"This battle is too important, and its importance is no less than that of Xu Da's Northern Expedition."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang has always had a very accurate grasp of the war situation, such as the previous war Chen Youliang and Xu Da's Northern Expedition, all of which he remotely manipulated and strategized, and won every time, but this time he had no bottom in his heart.

Because the strategic purpose of this time was to conquer the whole territory of Goryeo, he did not know the situation in Goryeo at all.

Moreover, Hua Yunlong's opponent this time, Li Chenggui, is also a famous general, known as the 'Goryeo God of War'.

……

Liaoyang Province (at this moment, there is no Jianzhou Sanwei)

The army led by Hua Yunlong is known as a 100,000-strong army, but in fact there are only 20,000 elites, and the rest are auxiliaries, responsible for transporting grain and grass, transporting the wounded, and so on.

"I've seen General Hua." Liaoyang Pingzhang Zhou Xing wore a Ming official uniform and greeted him at the gate of the government office.

"You can take this notice and paste it to all the prefectures and counties in Liaoyang, especially the border areas with Goryeo." Hua Yunlong took out a notice and came out.

Zhou Xing took the notice and looked at it, and was immediately shocked: "The emperor said that if General Hua wins this battle, Liaoyang will be exempted from taxes for three years?" ”

"Not bad!" Huayun Dragon Road.

"Great!" Zhou Xing became excited, "The lower official will send someone to do it immediately." ”

That's three years of taxes! If Hua Yunlong really wins, then the three-year tax will make all the people in the Liaoyang area have enough food and clothing, and all their officials will also benefit.

When the people are rich, the officials will naturally be rich, because there is no need to hand over to the court.

Once this notice goes down, all the officials in Liaoyang, including the common people, will cheer and enthusiastically support Hua Yunlong.

"The emperor's move is really clever!" Zhou Xingdao.

"Of course the emperor is clever, and you still need to say it." Huayun Dragon Road.

"General Hua, you must win this battle!" Zhou Xingdao.

"Of course you want me to win." Hua Yunlong said surgingly, "Once I win the battle, you won't have to pay taxes to the imperial court for three years." ”

"Hey, hey!" Zhou Xing smiled awkwardly, "General Hua once followed Xu Shuai's Northern Expedition to make meritorious contributions, and he is very familiar with this place, and he is brave and good at fighting, and the lower officials believe in General Hua's ability." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Hua Yunlong said, "What is the situation at the border?" ”

"Li Chenggui, the commander of the Goryeo capital, seems to have known the news, and he has already set up troops on the border and is ready for battle." Zhou Xing said, "General Hua should be careful, he is known as the god of war in Goryeo." ”

"Li Chenggui is our old opponent, he has a few catties and taels, I know better than you." Huayun Long's surging road.

Yi Sung-gye, a member of the Jeonju Lee family, was born in the Shuangcheng Governor's Mansion of the Yuan Dynasty, and most of the land in Goryeo during the Yuan Dynasty belonged to the Yuan Dynasty. After the decline of the Yuan Dynasty, King Gongchou gradually regained lost territory.

And the main general who helped King Gongchou recover the lost territory was Li Chenggui.

In the process of recovering the lost territory, Li Sunggui won many battles, so he won the reputation of the Goryeo god of war.

Previously, the main force of King Xiao Ming was in the north, and King Xiao Ming's old army had led 200,000 Red Turban troops to cross the river and attack Kaijing. Engaged Li Chenggui, Li Chenggui won a small victory in the process, but the Red Turban Army still broke through Kaijing and congratulated the king to move south. Later, the army of the Yuan Court and Li Chenggui attacked King Xiaoming from east to west, and Li Chenggui bravely killed the enemy and made war exploits.

It was precisely because of the attack from the east and west that the main force of King Xiao Ming was defeated, and was later chased to Dadu by the Yuan army. Zhu Yuanzhang went north to rescue at all costs, and finally managed to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

After that, Li Chenggui continued to attack Liaoyang, and there was constant friction with the Ming army, so Hua Yunlong said that he was an old opponent of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Yi Sung-gye had already mastered most of the military power of Goryeo, and King Gongsu became his hand.

……

Goryeo border, Yi Sungyeong-gyeong's department.

"Zhu Yuanzhang has already won the Central Plains, and he is still insatiable, coveting my Goryeo land, hateful!" Li Chenggui, Li Fangyu, Li Fangguo, father and son were discussing secretly in the military tent, and Li Chenggui said hatefully.

"Then Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a fierce man, he tried to restore the vast territory of the Yuan Dynasty, how is this possible!" His son Li Fangguo said.

"A beggar became an emperor and forgot his humble origins?" The youngest son, Li Fangyu, looked disdainful. The Li family in Quanzhou is a big family, and of course they look down on Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a beggar.

"General Ben is going to let Hua Yunlong come and go this time!" Li Chenggui said, "Hua Yunlong's combat power is at most 20,000, and the cold terrain of Goryeo is dangerous, so if he does this, he will not occupy any of the time, place and people, so he will definitely be defeated." ”

"And he came from afar, we are waiting for work, Hua Yunlong will definitely die in Liaoyang." Li Fangguo said, "At that time, my father's reputation will be famous at home and abroad." ”

"Once we defeat Hua Yunlong, we will take the opportunity to attack Liaoyang and regain more lost territory for Goryeo." Li Fangyu said, "When the time comes, the Goryeo group will want, and the king of Gongchou can be discarded." ”

Goryeo was once a vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty, but now they desperately want to stand on their own.
