Li Zhensheng did not know the overall strategy of the Han army in Goryeo, and he was very excited to have the opportunity to lead his troops into battle.
It's just that the more than 30,000 people under his command seem a little listless, on the other hand, the Han army, although the clothes worn to avoid people's ears are messy, but they are full of spirit, and the 10,000 cavalry is even more majestic. Li Zhensheng had some ideas, but he could only dispel them temporarily.
In fact, Li Zhensheng and Li Zhenhui are a family who don't know how many generations ago, they are distant relatives, Anxi, Annam and Gongju, and Jeonju used to be the territory of the Li family, especially Annan and Gongju, and there are rare plain areas in the entire Goryeo country, which are very rich.
However, when relatives belong to relatives, when it comes to vital interests, they are nothing. In the process of fighting for the ownership of Annan, the city was not contested, and Li Zhensheng's father was directly overturned by Li Zhenhui's family, and even Li Zhensheng's brothers died several times, and the two families had already become a life-and-death feud.
As soon as Wu Zhong said that he would fight Annan, without waiting for Wu Zhong's arrangement, Li Zhensheng jumped out and took the initiative to ask for help, and Wu Zhong naturally pushed the boat down the river.
What kind of place is Annan and Gongzhou Li Zhensheng knows better than anyone else, there are a lot of people he buys there, and what he has been thinking about for so many years is how to get Annan and Gongzhou.
It's a pity that Anxi is much poorer than the territory controlled by Li Zhenhui, and his strength has not been able to develop, in order to grow, Li Zhensheng gave his flowery sister and daughter to Wang Jian, just to have the opportunity to seize those two places.
Li Zhensheng's sister was also angry, coaxed Wang Jian very happy, and valued Li Zhensheng very much, but unfortunately as soon as the Han came, all plans were interrupted, and even Anxi City was not under her control.
This time, Li Zhensheng felt that he had an opportunity, at least a chance to get rid of the control of the Han people. He planned to use the power of the Han people to take Annan and Gongzhou first, and then use the power of the lord of the country to contain Wu Zhong's main force.
There was no mountain barrier from Anxi to Annan, and the marching speed was very fast, and dozens of miles away from Annan City, Li Zhensheng stopped and found the two commanders Zhou and Zhang, who were led by the Han people, to discuss countermeasures.
"General Zhou, General Zhang, not far ahead is Annan City, I have sent people to investigate, there are more than 30,000 defenders, there were not so many people before, obviously they knew that we were coming, and transferred people from Gongzhou. That's what I think, if you attack strongly, you can win, but you will lose a lot. It is better for General Zhou to surround the city of Annan and not fight for the time being, and General Zhang will lead the cavalry to monitor the periphery, and they will not dare to go out of the city. Since Gongzhou has transferred people, there are not many people left, I am familiar with it, and Neiying is there, and I will lead the army to sneak attack, and it will be successful! ”
Zhou and Zhang glanced at each other, this was not the original plan, why didn't they say it before leaving? However, Li Zhensheng is the nominal commander, but he is silent.
Seeing this, Li Zhensheng hurriedly said: "Many of the families of the army in Annan City are in Gongju, once it is taken, Annan will be in chaos without a fight, maybe it will surrender directly, the two generals rest assured, I am sure!" ”
Commander Zhou said with a smile: "City Lord Li is the main general, and he is familiar with this place, so he will do what the city lord wants!" ”
Li Zhensheng breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately led the army to leave quickly, and now it was the dragon swimming in the sea and letting the tiger return to the mountain.
And Commander Zhou immediately asked the people of the Enemy Intelligence Department to hurry back to Anxi to report to the capital, and to immediately transfer the cavalry troops to the fast march, Commander Zhou knew what to do in the future, since Li Zhensheng had an idea, it was okay, so he simply served it directly in advance.
As soon as the army of Anxi City moved, Kaijing knew about it, and Wang Qin hurriedly entered the palace to find Wang Jian and said: "It seems that the Han people still have bad intentions and go back on their word, and our grain is fed to the dogs." Wang, Pu Jinzhong in the north is also attached to the king of Yan in the Central Plains, and now he is wearing a pair of pants with Wu Zhong, Tieling is also lost, and the situation is critical. There can be no further hesitation, and Mohan should be surrendered immediately, and Marshal Mohan should be asked to send troops south. Marshal Mohan promised me that as long as we cooperated with him to defeat the Han Chinese, the south of Pyongyang would still be the king's place, and he would only give him some grain and grass every year. ”
What the fuck do you think of me? Slaves? But the strength is not up to others, Wang Jian suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "I'm afraid that Marshal Mohan's army will cross the mountains and mountains, and the Yalu River has not frozen, so it is too late to support us." ”
"Therefore, we can only hold the royal city and Nanjing, and we must not go out of the city to fight, and we will be able to delay the arrival of Marshal Mohan's army."
Wang Jian understood, Uncle Wang was against sending troops to support Annan Gongzhou, and now at this time, he was still targeting Li Zhenhui, and he was about to lose the country, so couldn't he work together to deal with foreign enemies?
However, what Uncle Wang said was not unreasonable, Wang Jian thought about it and said, "Just do it according to Uncle Wang's opinion!" You immediately send the letter of surrender and urge the army to go south immediately. ”
If it was just Li Zhenhui's bitter pleading, Wang Jian would not have sent troops out of the city to take risks, but the news sent by Li Zhensheng secretly made him hesitate, if he could really solve the tens of thousands of troops who followed Li Zhensheng, his chances of resisting the Han people would be greatly increased, and by the way, the threat of the Li family would be solved, and the rich Annan and other places would be included in the palm of his hand. Still unwilling!
If the Imperial Forest Army to protect its own safety can't move, then it can only be the troops in Nanjing, how can they convince Wang Qin? Wang Jian felt that he couldn't be convinced, so he could only seize power in advance while Wang Qin went north.
Wang Jian has a plan, Li Zhensheng has a plan, and Wu Zhong and Li Ziyang can only move at the right time after receiving the news.
"Originally, I was going to put Li Zhensheng to good use, and it is not impossible to give him a status as a puppet in the future, but it's a pity! It seems that you can only do it yourself. Immediately transfer troops to follow up, but there is still a lot to wait after they are ready, and it is best to bring out some of the troops from Kaiyang and Nanjing. ”
Li Ziyang thought further: "General Wu, when you march and fight, you can kill what you should kill, no one can say anything, but if you can, don't do it, and leave it to the Khitan Jurchens to do better." ”
Wu Zhong doesn't matter, who kills or not? Regardless of these things for the time being, he knows Li Ziyang's thoughts: "Pacify the envoy, His Royal Highness Jing Hao will still have to rely on the Han people in the future, don't think too much, it's the right thing to hurry up and immigrate, leave the rest to me, it's a big deal to be a Wu butcher in the future, what's the big deal." ”
"No, Goryeo is just a place, there will be more killings in the future, it is estimated that those foreigners are also sent over to raise their murder and brutality, such as Liaodong, Liaozhong, Liaobei, most of them are foreigners, they still have to keep killing, and when they are afraid of killing, let's go to appease and appease, the effect will be much better." Your Highness is really powerful, and you have thought about how to use these people in advance. ”
Wu Zhong pouted and said, "Your Highness is so benevolent and righteous! But it's not as much as you think, it's just that you literati have a lot of crooked intestines, and you are much more ruthless! ”
Li Ziyang was so stunned that he couldn't speak.
