A fire broke out in the backyard and had to be evacuated.

Li Chenggui was also decisive, and decided to withdraw to Kaijing on the spot and put down the rebellion between the DPRK and China first. However, Li Shanchang naturally would not let him evacuate so easily. On 3 November, the 3,000 Jeju Ming troops, who had always passively avoided the battle, took a warship and put on a posture of pursuit.

Li Chenggui left behind 3,000 people, which were easily wiped out by the Ming army.

The morale of the Goryeo army was greatly lost.

What's even more terrifying is that the Ming army, which had already suppressed the Northern Yuan Dynasty and had a foundation in the grassland, actually equipped the 3,000 defenders with war horses, bows and crossbows and other killing weapons. After defeating the broken Goryeo army, the 3,000 Ming army was reduced to zero, and the main Goryeo army continued to guerrilla and harass Li Chenggui.

There are those officials who have taken refuge as guides wholeheartedly, so that these Ming troops can especially be haunted in the foreign land of Goryeo, as if they have entered a no-man's land. The leader of this group of Ming troops was Cao Yuan, who followed Zhu Su in the bloody battle of Suzhou in the past, and the soldiers were also the troops left behind after Zhu Su conquered the Japanese state in the past.

Taking advantage of the fact that the horses came and went like the wind, they carried out the guerrilla warfare policy of "the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I advance, the enemy is stationed and disturbs us, and the enemy is tired and we fight".

The more the Goryeo army retreated, the more demoralization was depressed by the constant casualties. The sergeants often hid in the cities along the way, and were reluctant to venture out of the city to continue withdrawing. Rao is Li Chenggui didn't dare to push too much, he now knew that this was the tens of thousands of troops that were important in Goryeo, and it was his foundation.

If the morale of this army is broken and it is fled, then everything will be stopped.

"Father, even though General Cao is brave, but with only 3,000 people, it may still be difficult to stop Li Chenggui from returning to the division." Yi Sun-chang and Yi Qi have landed in Jinju, Goryeo. The chief official here was of the same clan as a Goryeo official who had served as the "new king", so he surrendered to the new king of the Ming dynasty. Li Qi adhered to the intention of Li Shanchang, followed the old practice of Zhu Su, the king of Zhou, in the Wa Kingdom, rented a city here as a "concession", and coordinated all affairs in Goryeo here. Now, the father and son are discussing the current situation in Goryeo on the map.

"Even if we win a small victory, Li Chenggui still has tens of thousands of troops. There are only 3,000 of us, and when Li Chenggui hides in Kaijing, we will definitely be helpless. ”

"Father, don't you really ask Your Majesty for help? Anyway, I also sent someone to contact General Mu Ying in Yingzhou and General Fu Youde in Liaodong......"

"Ahem, ahem...... Need not. Li Shanchang waved his hand. As my father said before, the means of military warfare are not what I am good at. ”

"If you want to go down to Goryeo, you should still have to fight for power. Now that I am thriving, it is enough to take advantage of the general trend here. No more borrowing of soldiers and horses. ”

"Your Majesty has been fighting for many years in recent years, and now is the time to recuperate. Those who are ministers should be aware of their intentions, and if they borrow troops, won't they embarrass His Majesty? ”

"But...... "Li Qi is embarrassed." With only 3,000 people, how can Li Chenggui be left? ”

"When did my father say that he wanted to keep Li Chenggui?" Li Shan said. "General Cao is the descendant of His Royal Highness King Zhou, if it is such a chaotic order for his father, General Cao will not help."

"My father only said that he asked him to delay Li Chenggui's army, that's all. You know, every time we delay a little longer, we can have another army......"

"The army?" Li Qi was stunned. "Where did the army come from? Since my father did not ask His Majesty for help, could it be that this army grew out of thin air in this land of Goryeo? ”

"Hehe, that's fine." Li Shanchang laughed and coughed lightly a few more times. Then he picked up the sunspot on the map, which was originally in Kaijing City, representing Li Chenggui's forces, and replaced it with a white son representing his own side.

"Isn't this already growing?"

On the map of Goryeo, which is full of sunspots, the white son on Kaijing is particularly eye-catching.

“…… I see. Li Qi stroked his palms and laughed.

"Drag that Li Chenggui here, so that he can teach him to betray his relatives and leave!"

"Ruzi...... Ahem, teachable! Li Shanchang stroked his long beard with relief.

……

"My lord! Gangjie, Ningzhou, Ping'an, Hamgyong ......"

"There are six realms in my Goryeo territory, and all of them have rebels raising banners!"

In Gongju City, Li Chenggui received a wire report from the rear. "Because the king in the palace was captured, now Goryeo is up and down, and people's hearts are fluctuating!"

"Many local officials donated land to the Ming Dynasty as a concession, and placed their families in the concession, raising the flag to be loyal to the new king of Jeju Island."

“…… My lord, if you don't recapture the capital, the general trend will go! "One of Li Chenggui's aides was heartbroken and cried blood." I can't wait to look ahead and backward like I did before! The Ming Dynasty has gone on several expeditions, and the finances are bound to be exhausted. Instead of continuing to worry about the Ming Dynasty, it is better to use thunderous means to calm the situation in the country first. ”

After that, he took the power of the great victory, reconciled with the Ming Dynasty, and declared himself a minister to the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty has great talent and strategy, and he will not rashly raise the army of the country and start a war with my Goryeo. ”

"Even if you really want to fight, your lord has successfully defeated the Red Turban Army in the past...... The Red Turban Army and the Ming Army are both the army of the Central Plains, and my Goryeo has repelled the Red Turbans, so why should I be afraid of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Li Sung-gui's eye sockets were deep, and during this period of time, the battle with the Jeju Island puppet dynasty supported by the Ming Dynasty really made him physically and mentally exhausted. He didn't know that on Jeju Island, it was the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty and the Korean prince Li Shanchang, who was under one person in the Ming officialdom in the past, and he only thought that the Ming Dynasty sent him this time was just an unknown hairy boy Li Qi.

Because of this contempt, he lost the opportunity at the beginning, and now he is controlled by others everywhere.

"If you knew this was the case, you shouldn't have worried about Daming's attitude in the first place." Li Chenggui said ruthlessly. But it's too late to say anything. He also thought that he was a hero, and naturally he also saw that he was losing because of the national situation of the Ming Dynasty, and he did not want to provoke the Ming Emperor to be really angry, so he was restrained.

"That's it, let's cut off contact with the Ming court first. Wait until the country is stabilized, and then ...... Then seek the great things. "Li Chenggui has seen the elite of the Ming army, so he naturally will not be naïve to think that the Red Turban Army can be compared with the Ming army. But that's all it can be now.

Without regard to the Ming court, Goryeo may die. But if he continues to worry about the Ming Court, he Li Chenggui will inevitably die.

Compared with his own life, Goryeo Sheji naturally cherishes his own life more preciously.

"Reward the soldiers, boost morale and return to the division! Whatever it takes, return to Kaijing as quickly as possible! ”

"From now on, the first priority should be to kill the puppet king of Jeju! Even if there is the protection of the prince of the Ming Kingdom, he must be killed together! ”

"Your Excellency is wise! My lord will surely revive my Goryeo dynasty! Many generals and staff bowed to the ground.

On 12 November, Li Chenggui led his troops out of the city and northward in a brazen manner. Cao Yuan tried to harass, and after discovering that Li Chenggui and his men did not pay attention to the casualties they caused, he also began to return south to Jinju.

After all, the Korean prince also said that there is no need to work hard.

It's just Goryeo, and you can't do it.

Li Chenggui brazenly came to Kaijing City, and after only one day of rest, he launched the siege. Under its indomitable momentum, the Kaijing rebels, who were already a rabble, were soon demoralized, and Yi Sung-gye recaptured Kaijing and regained control of Goryeo King Wangchang.

However, the days he left the capital have been too long. At this time, Goryeo was already full of smoke, and the scholars and wealthy families who were dissatisfied with Li Chenggui flocked to it.

The situation in Goryeo has deteriorated.

At this time, Li Shanchang sent a letter to the Ming Ying Heavenly Mansion.

Its name is: "Please open the three Han Xuanwei Si Shu".
