Chapter Seventy-Five: The Arrival of the Great Army

Lan Yu patiently waited in Pyongyang for several months, waiting for the spring breeze to come south and the ice and snow to thaw. Without waiting for the ice and snow to melt, the first army had already set off from Shandong. After a few days of sailing, disembarked in Pyongyang. The first armies have arrived.

This time the Crusade. Lan Yu mobilized 100,000 troops, most of whom were drawn from the Beiping Command Division and the Shandong Command Division. I have been preparing for half a year, and almost everything is ready.

However, even since the opening of the sea, the number of Daming sea ships has increased every year. Not to mention the possibility of hiring merchant ships. He Xi estimated that the total number of ships carried by Daming Sea Ships has probably reached more than 100,000 tons. It is about the same as the number of sea ships at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

It was only at that time that Western sea vessels were several times larger than Chinese sea vessels.

Even with so many ships, an army of 100,000 could not be transported at one time. It is estimated that it will take a month to transport it from Shandong.

This is still He Xi prepared a lot of food.

These grains are all grains of Goryeo, and they can be regarded as food for the enemy.

Lan Yu couldn't hold it back.

Without waiting for the army to arrive, he led the army eastward and rushed straight to Kaijing. He Xi accompanied him.

He Xi didn't care much about the war in Goryeo, and was even ready to withdraw at any time. But Kaijing still has to be a trip. Although Pyongyang is said to be Goryeo Xijing, it is known as a prosperous capital. But it's not a capital after all. Goryeo's wealth is in the capital, and he is still unwilling to take a look at it.

Lan Yu and He Xi came to Kaijing with tens of thousands of troops on foot.

Li Chenggui, Ye Shen and others had already opened the capital to greet them.

Li Chenggui knelt on the ground and said, "The foreign minister pays a visit to General Zhengdong. ”

Lan Yu rode on the horse, squinted at Li Chenggui, and said; "What do you call yourself?"

Li Chenggui said; "Minister."

Lan Yu said, "You are a minister of Goryeo? ”

Li Chenggui could understand Lan Yu's meaning. It's just that he was silent for a while, and then said, "Yes." ”

Lan Yu nodded and said, "That's it." The imperial court set the future king of Goryeo, that is, His Royal Highness King Lu. In the near future, it will be changed to change the ban. Without a loyal courtier to take care of it, it still can't work. I think you're good. So be it. You can go to Nanjing and help King Lu take care of it. ”

"I'm here to help you. The future is promising. ”

Lan Yu sat on the horse with a smile and leaned forward slightly, with a look, "I have given you a great favor." ".

Li Chenggui was shocked, how could he not know what Lan Yu was doing, seizing power. As soon as he came, he seized Li Chenggui's military power.

This winter, Da Ming is deploying troops. And Li Chenggui was not idle. He also recruited a lot of horses in Kaijing. Now he has about 50,000 men under his command. By Goryeo standards, it can be regarded as well-armored.

Li Chenggui didn't have any ideas. And as a warlord, in troubled times, it is instinctive to grasp military power. So that they have a sense of security.

Li Chenggui secretly said in his heart: "How dare he, isn't he afraid that I will rebel immediately?" Take refuge in the South? ”

Just when Li Chenggui was still thinking about how to answer. Zheng Daochuan behind Li Chenggui was anxious, and immediately stepped forward and said: "General Zhengdong ------" Before the words fell, Lan Yu's eyes narrowed, his legs knocked out, and the war horse understood, and immediately rushed out, and the horse whip in Lan Yu's hand was whipped, hitting Zheng Daochuan's face.

This time, Lan Yu didn't have any strength at all. With the help of horsepower, it hurts more than ordinary whips. Not to mention pumping in the face.

Zheng Daochuan wailed, and he had fallen to the ground, only to see him covering one eye. Blood was pouring from his fingers. Lan Yu's moment was more than ruthless. even blinded Zheng Daochuan's eyes all of a sudden.

Sapphire rode back to where she came from. Shows superb equestrian skills. Once and again, it is like a light cloud drifting by. A lot of people didn't react. But seeing Lan Yu said indifferently: "What is this, I don't speak, he dares to interject indiscriminately." ”

Li Chenggui's face was expressionless, looking at Zheng Daochuan, who gritted his teeth and did not make a sound, but was trembling in pain, with a hint of resentment in his eyes. said: "It's the foreign minister's lax discipline. ”

Lan Yu said, "It's true that discipline is not strict. Let's go. King Lu is still waiting for you over there in Nanjing. ”

Li Chenggui said; "The minister wants to go back to the city to pack his things."

Lan Yu smiled slightly and said, "I'm not so harsh, you can stay for a few days." I don't want to do anything. Just think it through. ”

Immediately, Lan Yu didn't pay attention to Li Chenggui at all, and jumped past Li Chenggui, and the soldiers behind Lan Yu didn't care about Li Chenggui, and rode past Li Chenggui's side one by one. He Xi stayed. He looked at Li Chenggui and Zheng Daochuan, sighed, and said to the left and right: "Go find a military doctor to come over." ”

One immediately went.

He Xi said: "General Li, I can't stop today's matter, this Yongchang Marquis's temper is understood in the court." I have to let him go, too. However, you -----, it today" He Xi didn't know what to say, sighed, and said, "If you say it's Mingchen." Even if the Marquis of Yongchang wants to move you, he will be a little merciful. It will never be like this. ”

Li Chenggui said: "Thank you, for your doubts. ”

He Xi said: "You also understand the current situation in Kaijing. Take a step back and open the sky. Do it yourself. ”

He Xi then left.

After the military doctor came, he removed Zheng Daochuan's broken eyeballs. And Doryun Chung lost more than just an eye. With a whip, Lan Yu pulled out a scar on Zheng Daochuan's face. It's already disfigured.

After everyone else is gone. Only Zheng Daochuan and Li Chenggui remained.

Li Chenggui sighed and said, "It's all my fault today." So is Mr. Tired. I shouldn't be unwilling. ”

Zheng Dao said: "General, there is no need to be like this. Today's events are what I mean. It's just that I didn't expect this blue jade to be so tyrannical. I am not sad about today's events, but happy. ”

Li Chenggui said: "Happy? Rejoice what? ”

Chung Dao said: "I was worried that if a humble gentleman like Lord He Xihe ruled Goryeo. The Goryeo family will never take any chances. Then the Goryeo legend can be determined. How do we deal with ourselves? But blue jade like this. So tyrannical. The means are brutal. It's hard to wait for him to arrive in Goryeo. That's where our opportunity lies. ”

Li Chenggui secretly said yes in his heart.

As a Korean, I know one thing best. That is, if you want to rule Goryeo and envelop dozens of big families, the world of Goryeo will be stable. If not, you're in trouble. If He Xi is like this, he talks about the rules and is reasonable, and governs Goryeo for honest and honest people, it is easy to win over these big families.

Sapphire is different. Looking at Lan Yu's actions today, you can know what kind of person Lan Yu is.

Before, Li Chenggui didn't know why the negotiations between the major families in the south and the Ming people ended in vain. Now it seems that it is the reason for the blue jade.

At this point, he completely underestimated He Xi.

Lan Yu's tyranny is more of bullying and domineering, but although He Xi is in the world, he seems to be very lenient. But in politics, he is more radical than Lan Yu.

Li Chenggui said: "Is there still a chance now? Lan Yu is not a mediocre talent, how dare he do this? There must be his means, not to mention that in Kaijing, there has always been Ye Shenbu stationed. The situation in the opening of the Ming army in Beijing is absolutely clear. Not to mention this tens of thousands of troops, it is impossible for the men and horses in my hands to win. Once we do it, I'm afraid most of the soldiers will be buried here. ”

Zheng Dao legend said; "I have two strategies, one positive and one negative."

Li Chenggui said; "Sir, please."

Zheng Dao said: "The right policy is to escape from Kaijing immediately, and you can bring as many soldiers as you can, and you don't care if you can't take them." Now Major General of the South. If you throw yourself over, you will definitely be the commander of the army. And Lan Yu will definitely turn Goryeo against him. For a long time, the Ming people always have to go. When the time comes, Goryeo will be the world of adults. ”

Zheng Daochuan is not without a little concern for the whip just now. He hated Lan Yu to the bone. However, he knew that today was not the time for revenge. But even so, he has a certain tendency in his words.

Li Chenggui shook his head and said, "This matter, let's talk about the countermeasures, right?" ”

Zheng Dao said: "Then only according to what Lan Yu said, go to Nanjing to visit King Lu." Do everything you can to please King Lu. Wait until I return to Goryeo in the future. I think that His Royal Highness King Lu is also around him who understands Goryeo and can recruit good generals. ”

"It's just that there's too much risk here."

Dang didn't know that the biggest risk of this strategy was nothing else. It's King Lu. He never thought that not only Goryeo had a faint king, but also a faint king in the Ming Dynasty.
