Chapter 544: Deliberation
The guards lifted the curtain, and Kiyomasa Kato walked in with his head bowed.
He looked at the map of Ulsan and was stunned. Because I had been away for too long, the temperature inside the tent was no different from outside.
The guard took a few pieces of charcoal and put them in the brazier, lit them with a fire breaker, and fanned the wind with his hands until the charcoal became red.
"Will the general eat something?" the guard took the food and saw Kiyomasa Kato looking intently at the map.
"Leave it aside. Kiyomasa Kato pointed to the table next to him, his mind focused on the map.
"General, what are you looking at?" the guard, not knowing what he was thinking, followed along with him as he looked at the map.
While pondering, Kato Kiyomasa said, "Off the coast of Ulsan, if the enemy attacks, we only have two options. The first one returned home by boat, which meant that the occupation of Korea had failed again. The second is to retreat while fighting, find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and wait for reinforcements to arrive. ”
The guards speculated about his intentions, "Before leaving, General Toyotomi said that there could be no turning back in this battle, the living must fight, and only the corpses could be transported back to China. So the first way doesn't work. ”
Kato Kiyomasa nodded and said, "Although the method you said before is general, it also has merits. Now both sides are looking for opportunities to attack, but compared with the Ming Dynasty coalition army, our army's momentum is too weak, and we are afraid that we will suffer a big loss when facing the enemy head-on. ”
The guards have been with him for many years and know him very well, and from a few words, they know what Kiyomasa Kato really thinks. Said: "The general means that in the face of the enemy's powerful offensive, you can't retreat without a fight. The battle must be fought, but it is possible to retreat while fighting, which can delay time. ”
Kato Kiyomasa was very satisfied: "Completely correct, we don't go head-to-head with the Ming Dynasty coalition forces, pretend to be invincible, and retreat while fighting, so that the opponent can win one after another, and also preserve our strength." Retreat to an impregnable city, defend stubbornly, and wait for reinforcements to arrive. ”
"But where is the impregnable?" the guards quickly searched the map for the city.
"Daoshan!" the two said in unison, both seeing hope in each other's eyes.
Kiyomasa Kato immediately ordered, "You immediately give the order to go down, pack your bags, and wait for the enemy to attack." ”
The guards went, and then Kato Kiyomasa sent someone to find all the generals and tell them the plan clearly. It was agreed that this was the best way to go.
Early the next morning, all the soldiers packed their bags and waited for the Ming Dynasty coalition to attack.
On the other side, in the camp of the Ming Dynasty coalition army, Yuan Jun woke up drunk, but he had a splitting headache, his whole body was weak, he was humming in his throat, and when he opened his eyes, he felt that the world was spinning.
Yesterday he drank too much, not only wine, but also urine. I opened my mouth and wore a rough breath, frowning slightly, and said in my heart Why is my exhaled breath a little coquettish?
Yuan Shizun didn't tell him about spitting urine, although the military doctor said that it was a sign of talent, but as an elder brother, he still couldn't say it.
"You woke up, how are you feeling?"
"It's uncomfortable. Squeezed out two words, cold sweat broke out, and my heart pounded.
"I've told them to get something to eat, so you have to eat more to have the strength. Yuan Shizun hated General Park and his group in his heart, "They are targeting you so much, we can't let them go." ”
The physical pain is tolerable, but the anger in the heart is not. Yuan Jun gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "I will definitely break them into pieces." ”
"Well said!" Yuan Shizun in order to cheer him up, with a loud voice, coupled with a fist clenching and quickly standing up, it seemed that he was confident.
But he had been sitting on the edge of the bed just now, and he stood up suddenly, and the force was so great that the bed began to shake. Yuan Jun already had a splitting headache, and was shaken by this, "oops, oops".
"Dizzy, I'm dizzy!" I felt that the Venus in front of me was popping up, and my stomach was churning, and I turned around and vomited it again.
......
Yesterday's celebration banquet was originally intended to invite several commanders of the Ming army. After all, the attention of General Pu to wash away the grievances and defeat the Japanese was from Qi Chu, and he came here to the Ming Dynasty. Li Yiqi must thank a few commanders, but Yang Hao is cautious, Ma Gui and Xing Jue wanted to celebrate, but they were stopped by him.
Yang Ho believed that they came from the Ming Dynasty, and that the small Korean state was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and they had to pay tribute on time every year. Now that the North Korean army has won the battle, it is quite a sign of showing off their military might.
So he decided not to go!
It was precisely because he didn't go that Sun Jing and Chen Da let go of Death Guan Yuanjun. Early this morning, someone came to report to Yang Hao about last night's celebration banquet, talking about what Sun Jing and Lord Chen did. Yang Ho blew his beard angrily and glared, slapped the table fiercely, and asked his subordinates to bring the two over.
At this time, Sun Jing and Master Chen stood in front of Yang Hao, listening to his loud reprimand, their faces were not red and their hearts were not beating. The two of them said that we were never nervous when we went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and you can make us scared by moving your mouth alone?
Although I thought so in my heart, I kept saying, "I was wrong, I was wrong, and I won't dare next time." ”
thought that Yang Hao would forget it after he was angry, but they didn't know this person. This man is narrow-minded and very vindictive. If you hate someone, you will exclude someone.
Now Yang Hao hates Sun Jing and Master Chen very much, and feels that they have lost all of Daming's face.
As a result, Ma Gui on the side said a word for the two, "Lord Yang, in fact, they are giving Da Ming a long face." You see, the small country of Korea is just one of many vassal states in front of our Ming Dynasty, and they want to show off their might in front of us after they won the battle yesterday. Fortunately, the two generals Sun and Chen have frustrated Yuan Jun's spirit, why don't you praise it, but blame it?"
Sun Chen and the others were happy when they heard this, and said in their hearts: Dongli Xima is really not called in vain, General Ma is not only brave, but also resourceful, and his brain turns really fast.
At this time, the two of them looked at Yang Hao with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, with an expression that we did the right thing.
Yang Hao has the highest rank among these people, and he is Shen's cronies, so he won't care if you do it right or not. As long as I say it wrong, it's wrong!
"There is no need to defend them anymore, a mistake is a mistake. The two of you immediately surrendered their military power, and their men and horses came under the command of General Li Rumei. Yang Hao flicked his sleeves and turned his head to ignore the two.
This punishment is too severe, a general has no soldiers, then what is it called. Master Chen is okay, he didn't bring a few people over. Sun Jing still had hundreds of people under him, and he couldn't swallow this breath when he was merged into someone else's command like this.
"Lord Yang, I'm not convinced!" Sun Jing said angrily
Yang Hao snorted coldly: "What do you disagree with? This is a military order, do you want to disobey the military order?"
Sun Jing said: "Why did you merge my subordinates under Li Rumei?"
"It's not enough that you have lost Da Ming's face?" Yang Hao raised his eyebrows, and his majesty was exhausted.
Ma Guixin on the side was not good, he knew that Yang Hao and Li Rumei had a close relationship, which was obviously a fake public benefit. But Sun Jing couldn't understand that if he blindly contradicted, not only would he not be able to change the result, but he would also be punished in the end.
