"General Li!" Li Chenggui had just marched for a day, and when he had not yet reached the place where Wang Shi was ambushed, he received a report from the defeated army of Hudong: "Hudong is occupied by the Ming army!" ”

"This ......" Li Chenggui was dumbfounded, and he couldn't believe his ears. As soon as he left, Yudong was taken by the Ming army?

His expression was extremely cold, "Didn't I tell Wang Qi to hold on?" ”

"General." The defeated army said, "General Wang is indeed holding the city, but the offensive of the Ming army is too fierce. They have musketeers, and two Hongwu cannons......"

The Fire Gun Army and the Hongwu Cannon, that's the configuration of the main force!

Could it be that both sides are the main force of Hua Yunlong!?

Li Chenggui couldn't figure it out.

"It's over......" Suddenly, Li Chenggui spurted out a mouthful of blood. His 20,000 troops, who had only three days' worth of rations, were now trapped in the wilderness. In front is Hua Yunlong's pocket array, and in the back is Jiancheng Dong.

You can't advance, you can't retreat.

Previously, he also felt that he could rescue Wang Shi and join forces with him, and then take Xianzhou. But judging from the current situation, his every move is under Hua Yunlong's control.

When you want to rescue the king, you must have no return.

"The whole army is stationed in place!" Li Chenggui immediately ordered.

"It's strange, where did Hua Yunlong get so many troops?" Li Sui said suspiciously, "Doesn't he only have 20,000 troops to fight?" On both sides of the East and Xianzhou, there seemed to be a large number of Ming troops. ”

"I don't know." Li Chenggui said.

"Could it be that there is a mistake in the military report?" Li Sui said coldly, "The people in charge of listening to the military intelligence should all be killed!" ”

……

Dongdong.

Shang Bao, the general of the Ming army who attacked Hudong, was already standing at the head of Hudong City at this moment: "If it weren't for General Hua's consideration of reducing casualties, even if you Li Chenggui are here, I would be able to capture Hudong." ”

"Yes, after all, we have the Musket Army and the Hongwu Cannon, and the soldiers we fight are extremely brave." The adjutant next to him said.

"The strength of the people of Liaoyang is too strong, and they actually transported all the Hongwu cannons to us, which is going to collapse the river and cross the steep mountains." Shang Bao said, "Now that Li Chenggui is trapped in the wilderness, it is already a dilemma. ”

……

Li Chenggui Department.

"General, there is a sentence below that I don't know whether to say or not." Li Sui said.

"Say!" Li Chenggui said in a deep voice.

"For today's plan, I can only send an envoy to the Huayunlong military camp to sue for peace." Li Sui said. Suing for peace is surrender, but it sounds a little better, "The Central Plains dynasties of the past dynasties have always only needed Goryeo to be their vassal state." We took advantage of the decline of the Yuan Court, and took advantage of the war between the Yuan Court and the Red Turban Army, so that we refused to accept the jurisdiction of the Yuan Court and the Ming Dynasty and wanted to stand on our own. ”

"In this way, it angered the Ming emperor, so he sent a large army to conquer us."

"Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has won the world, presumably his thoughts are the same as those of the emperors of previous dynasties."

"You mean, Zhu Yuanzhang just wants us to be vassals to the Ming Dynasty?" Li Chenggui asked.

"It has to be." Li Sui said, "The armies of Goryeo in the past dynasties could not defeat the army of the Central Plains Dynasty, and later declared themselves to it, and the Central Plains Dynasty would retreat." Therefore, General Li lost this time and declared himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, which is not a big deal. ”

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Li Chenggui said.

……

Huayun Dragon.

"General Yuhua, Li Chenggui has been transferred out, Shang Bao has captured Hudong, and Li Chenggui is trapped in the wilderness." A sentry rider reports from the account.

"Good!" Hua Yunlong said, "Immediately attack the city and take Xianzhou." ”

At the end, he sighed: "It's a pity that Goryeo's military strength is too weak, otherwise I can use Xianzhou City to catch several big fish." Now I only caught Wang Shi and Li Chenggui, which is not enjoyable at all. ”

Soon, the army launched an attack on the city of Xianzhou.

In less than an hour, Xianzhou was taken, and Li Fangyu and Li Fangguo were captured alive.

Hua Yunlong walked into the Xianzhou Mansion and sat in the official position.

"General Hua, Wang Shi's 30,000 troops have been completely annihilated, but Li Chenggui has not taken the bait for a long time."

"Li Chenggui is still an old fox!" Hua Yunlong sighed, "But his 20,000 troops are trapped in the wilderness, and sooner or later they will become food in my mouth." ”

"General Yuhua, Li Chenggui sent someone to sue for peace." As soon as the words fell, someone entered the door to report.

"Just now I was saying that he was an old fox and it was hard to catch, but I didn't expect him to send someone to sue for peace." Zhuang De next to him smiled.

"Yes, isn't that a door-to-door delivery?" Hua Yunlong said, "Agree to Li Chenggui's request for peace, and let the envoy tell Li Chenggui when he goes back, as long as Gaoli is willing to be my vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, he will no longer rebel and no longer invade Liaoyang, the land of the Ming Dynasty." The Ming Emperor not only did not blame him for his past, but also named him the king of Goryeo. ”

"However, he and Li Sui must go into the city in person to discuss with the general."

"Yes."

……

Li Chenggui and Li Sui entered Xianzhou City with dozens of guards.

When they entered the mansion to meet Hua Yunlong, everyone's weapons were unloaded.

The guards were blocked out, and Li Chenggui and Li Sui went to see Hua Yunlong empty-handed.

In fact, Li Chenggui and Li Sui also realized that this move was likely to be dangerous.

However, the successive Central Plains dynasties did not incorporate Goryeo into their territory, nor did they exterminate the Goryeo Dynasty, they only needed to bow down and be vassals, so that the two dispelled some of their concerns.

Moreover, Li Chenggui's two sons are still in Hua Yunlong's hands, and he has to be saved.

Even if he has a heroic temperament, he can lead the army to flee to the south of Goryeo regardless of the life and death of his two sons, and it will be difficult to make a comeback in the future.

He only had 20,000 troops, and there was still King Gongchou in the south. The military strength has been weakened by half, and he can't control the king of Gongchou.

And once the news of his defeat spreads to Goryeo and returns, his image of the 'Goryeo God of War' in the hearts of the people will collapse in an instant. The people will also criticize him for not caring about the life and death of his son, saying that he has no humanity.

A general whose image collapses and is scolded by the people will not be able to achieve a big thing.

After many considerations, Li Chenggui still felt that going to Xianzhou with Li Sui to meet Hua Yunlong was the only way out.

And it's the best option.

"Li Chenggui, the general of the defeated army, has seen General Hua." After entering the door, Li Chenggui said ashamedly.

"General Li, Mr. Li, please sit down ......" At the banquet, Hua Yunlong was full of smiles and warmly entertained the two, "Everyone in the world says that there is Li Sui in Gaoli and Li Chenggui in Wu, and it is really a privilege to see it with your own eyes today." ”

"Thank you, General Hua, for your hospitality." Seeing Hua Yunlong like this, the big stone hanging in the hearts of the two put down more than half of it, and Li Chenggui said, "May I ask General Hua, where are the two unscrupulous sons below?" ”
