Li Chao, Kaijing

"Your Majesty, that Li Qi is too deceitful!"

Song Jiucheng, a staff member of Wang Shizi's Mansion, turned red, "In the past, they suppressed us openly and secretly, and we didn't care, but this time they are completely unscrupulous and suppressing our faction in the court, so rebellious, if we endure it any longer, where is the face of Wang Shizifu!" ”

The prince of Joseon, Li Zhen, said hesitantly: "I understand what you mean, but ...... The king's side has been supporting Li Zhen. ”

Song Jiucheng said sadly: "In this way, it is as if they put a blunt knife on our necks, cutting off our flesh and skin little by little, until we cut our throats, we are getting weaker and weaker, and sooner or later one day will ......"

He didn't say anything more, but the meaning he wanted to express was self-evident.

If he is slaughtered like this, sooner or later, Li Zhen will not even have the strength to resist, and will be replaced by Li Yan, the king of Zhongning!

Wang Shizi Li Zhen clenched his fists, and a thin layer of killing intent gradually rose in his eyes, but in the end, he disappeared, and sighed weakly: "So what, my father likes Li Li, hates me, the eldest son, and hates the maternal Min family who supports me, I, the son of the king, am just a tool used by my father to control Li Fu." ”

Li Chun was tired of this feeling of exhaustion, and was used as a puppet by his father, bearing the pressure of everyone in the court on his behalf. Although he is the son of the king, he is not as alive as a dog.

Since you don't want me to inherit the throne, why do you put me in the position of the prince and suffer all the torture, have you ever thought that I am also a human being, and I will also feel angry and unwilling?

Looking at the throne within reach, but being pulled step by step towards the abyss and eaten away by the darkness, Li Chun's heart was already a dead darkness.

Seeing the posture of Wang Shizi Li Zhen, Song Jiucheng's eyes flickered.

There is only a thin line between despair and madness.

Only those who have nothing dare to risk their lives.

"Your Highness......" Song Jiucheng took a deep breath and called tentatively softly.

Li Zhen, who was originally lifeless, suddenly turned into a spirit, and looked at Song Jiucheng in horror: "What did you call me just now?" ”

"Shizi, don't you want to change 'Your Highness' into 'Your Highness'?" Song Jiucheng asked.

North Korea is nominally a subject state of the Ming Dynasty, and according to the etiquette system, the king of Joseon is only a county king, not a prince, and Li Zhen, the "prince of the Li Dynasty", is only the son of the county king.

The honorific title of King of Joseon is "Your Highness" and "Your Highness", not "Your Majesty". The honorific title of Wang Shizi should be "Dixia". Calling Li Zhen with His Royal Highness is guilty of trespassing.

Li Zhen was shocked: "Shut up! Hugh wants to talk nonsense, you don't want heads, I still want it! ”

Song Jiucheng knew that now was the best opportunity, and said boldly: "Shizi, you are the son of the king, if the prince of Zhongning ascends the throne, you will lose the position of the prince at most." But what about us? If Lord Chungning inherits the throne, how many of our subordinates who follow you will have a good death? The Min family is your mother's family, they are the first wealthy family in my dynasty, and they followed the king to seize the throne, if you fail to succeed to the throne, how many of them can escape death? ”

Those who become kings live, and those who lose die die!

The mother of the prince Li Chun is the wife of the king of Joseon, Queen Min, and the Min family is the first wealthy family in the dynasty, so they naturally support Li Chun to take the throne.

The four ministers of the Min clan are all the younger brothers of Queen Min and the uncle of Li Zhen.

Min is not to blame, Min is not sick, Min is compassionless, Min is not regretful.

Now that these four people have been killed by the king of Joseon Li Fangyuan, two of them will not survive, and if Li Zhen loses the position of the prince, the remaining two will not survive.

Before Li Fangyuan became the king of Joseon, these people were his arms. But after Li Fangyuan became the king of Joseon, these people were all mortal enemies in front of him!

Thinking of this, Li Zhen gritted his teeth: "Then what do you say!" ”

Song Jiucheng said slowly: "The prince remembers, how did the founding ancestor of my dynasty win the throne?" How did the current king win the throne? ”

Li Chenggui, the founding ancestor of the Li Dynasty, was Li Chun's grandfather, who mutinied and usurped the country, and accepted the country of Goguryeo with a smile.

Li Fangyuan, the current king of the Joseon Dynasty of the Li Dynasty, is Li Zhen's father, who relied on the two princes' rebellions to usurp the country and laugh at Li Chenggui's country.

My grandfather can mutiny and usurp the country, my father can mutiny and usurp the country, my Li family has a fine tradition of mutiny and usurpation in their bones, and when it comes to my Li Zhen's generation, how can I throw away the "fine tradition" passed down by my ancestors?

The fourth child of the Zhu family next door, didn't he also become the emperor by rebellion?

I'll do it too!

"It's come to this, it's better to give it a go than wait for death."

Li Zhen closed his eyes lightly and waved his hand to Song Jiucheng, "Jiucheng, how this matter is deployed depends on you." ”

Song Jiucheng was stunned in place, hesitated for a moment and arched his hand: "The minister will live up to the high expectations of the prince!" ”

Originally, he just wanted to fool Li Zhen into rebellion, as long as the Li Dynasty was in civil strife, it would be considered successful, but he didn't expect it......

Now directly incarnated as the commander-in-chief of the rebels?

I can't even think about it!

However, I, the commander-in-chief, am actually the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty......

If Li Chun's rebellion succeeds, then he will directly become the second-in-command of North Korea?

He looked in the direction of Da Ming with some despair.

"Lord Qi, if you don't close the net again, I will become the boss of the Li Dynasty!"

……

Lu Chaoyang hurriedly walked into the room of the Shuai Mansion and reported: "Lord Wang, Li Chao's secret pile is urgent!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian waved his hand: "Read." ”

Lu Chaoyang opened the secret letter and said: "Within seven days, the Li Dynasty will be in turmoil in Jinggi, and the prince of the king, Li Zhen, is determined to mutiny, please make plans as soon as possible." ”

A short line of words, but it is the result of the painstaking efforts of Jinyiwei in countless secret piles in the territory of the Li Dynasty.

The hidden pile located in the territory of the Li Dynasty is by no means only Song Jiucheng alone, not only in the palace of Wang Shizi, but also in the palace, the palace of the Great Monarch of Zhongning...... On the one hand, they quietly put pressure on Li Chun, the son of the king, and on the other hand, they added fuel to Li Chun.

The winds ushered in from all directions have brewed today's results.

"It's time to close the net." Zhu Gaoxian closed his eyes and said, "Send an order, let all the officials of the Liaodong General Military Mansion go to the Huifu to discuss matters, and let Zheng He lead the Lushun saliva division to stand by and make preparations before the war." ”

The giant beast of Liaodong, which has been silent for a long time, is slowly waking up.

After Zhu Gaoxian came to Liaodong, the long-planned layout was finally about to close the net at this moment.

Lu Chaoyang suppressed the excitement in his heart, and bowed his head and responded: "No! ”

……

"How sure are you of this battle?"

In the world of his mind, Tang Taizong Li Shimin stared at Zhu Gaoxian.

The young King Qi pondered for a moment and said, "Ten percent!" ”

"I went on an expedition to Goguryeo back then, but I still failed to take it in one fell swoop, how dare you guarantee that you are ten percent sure that the country will be destroyed?" Li Shimin asked.

At the beginning of the Zhenguan prosperous era, the Tang Dynasty came to the court, not with the mouth, but with the fist.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, if you didn't destroy a country, you were embarrassed to say that you were following the Tang Dynasty!

Despite this, the Tang Dynasty has been stuck in destroying Goguryeo for a long time, not because of how strong Goguryeo's army is, but because their terrain is too advantageous.

"Taizu gave me half of the game, and I was responsible for winning the game."

Zhu Gaoxian said calmly, "The layout spanning 20 years, destroying a small country, is already very tight." ”

"Who do you think I am?"

"I never make a mistake."

……

In a calm situation, the Liaodong Army quietly divided tens of thousands of elites, starting from Guangning Mansion, across Liaoze, and approaching the foot of Baitou Mountain, and put their swords against the gateway of the Li Dynasty.

And the sailors stationed at the mouth of Lushun also quietly left the port and sailed on the Bohai Sea, like a fierce beast, and the direction of the march was the heart of the Li Dynasty - Kaijing!

The topography of the Li Dynasty determined that the Joseon king Yi Fangyuan could contain the enemy army in the area of Baektu Mountain, and even if Baektu Mountain was defeated, they could retreat to Seoul and drag the powerful enemy to death one after another.

Where a large-scale war, the top priority is logistics supply, such a bad terrain, so that the logistics of transportation has become a headache, North Korea has used this way of fighting for more than a thousand years, a hundred tests, in addition to being crushed by the Tang Dynasty with absolute national strength to break, did not taste a defeat.

However, Zhu Gaoxian did not intend to defeat North Korea in a conventional way, what he wanted was to decide life and death in an instant.

Want to fight and retreat and drag me to death?

You think beautifully!

The Liaodong Army sent troops from the area of Baitou Mountain, and drove directly into the frontal battlefield, while the naval division led by Zheng He cut in from the flank, cut off the back road, and trapped Li Fangyuan to death in Kaijing.

Jinyiwei divided the enemy from within, and when the war was together, the king of Joseon was too busy to take care of himself, and Zhu Gaoxian was now thinking about the strategy of destroying the Japanese state.

Li Chao, in his eyes, was already the Ming Goryeo Province.

……

Choshu is located at the gateway to the northern part of the Lee Dynasty.

Although it was the gateway to the north, the Joseon kings did not have many garrisons here, as their main enemies in this area were the migratory Jurchen tribes. The Joseon king stationed the border army mainly in the Tiezhou area to defend against the Jurchen and Ming armies.

Because of this, the garrison of Changzhou was very idle, they were estimated to be one of the most leisurely border troops of the Li Dynasty, they couldn't meet any enemies at all, and when they had nothing to do, they went hunting, bullied and bullied the weak Jurchen tribes, and lived a good life.

The night was thick, and the border troops of Li Chao were sleeping in the camp, looking forward to a better tomorrow, and the sergeants in charge of the guard were also sleepy, complaining about why they had drawn lots to the vigil.

Suddenly there was a continuous roar, and the deep night of Choshu seemed to turn into dawn, and the fire ignited in an instant!

"Kill!!"

The sound of fighting roared in the Changzhou military camp, and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry suddenly smashed the defense of the camp, and the fish rushed in, wielding swords, and the blood flowed like a river!

The king of Joseon, Li Fangyuan, was very smart, he calculated that the Jurchens of Jianzhou and Liaodong would contain each other, and Changzhou, the gateway of the Li Dynasty, became a pure land.

But he seems to have forgotten something very important.

- Jianzhou is now not called Nuer Gandu Division, but Jianzhou Province.

The Liaodong Army of the Ming Dynasty can go straight to Jianzhou and kill Changzhou without any hindrance!
