Chapter 534: Reason
They were angry with Qi Chu, but they were afraid that their martial arts were too high, so they could only scold Yuan Jun to relieve their anger.
After the two of them finished scolding, Qi Chu smiled and said, "I said two generals, do you really can't see it or fake it?"
Lord Chen was stunned, "Can't see anything?"
Qi Chu said: "Yuan Jun deliberately wronged General Park. ”
"Wouldn't it?" Lord Chen's reaction was half a beat slower, but Sun Jing figured it out first, "So the humiliation at the beginning was also deliberate?"
"Otherwise?" Qi Chu found a clean place and sat down, "The war is urgent, and friendly troops come to support, not only are they not welcome, but they are also humiliated in every way, digging pits and framing them, isn't it obvious?"
Sun Jing patted his head, "I understand, then according to what you said, we were attacked by friendly forces before, and it was also deliberate?"
At this time, Li Yiqi came in from the outside, heard the conversation between the three of them, and sighed: "It seems that the three of them have seen the clues." ”
"Vice General Li, what the hell is going on?" Sun Jing walked over and asked.
Li Yiqi said that in fact, the spies they sent to report the news were not discovered by the Japanese invaders, and the spies asked to see Yuan Jun after arriving at the barracks. When he saw Won Gyun, he reported the news that the reinforcements were approaching Ulsan, and Won Gyun asked the spy whose army it was, and the spy said that it was General Park.
As a result, Yuan Jun listened to it and said that the spies were spies sent by the Japanese Kou, and the purpose was to lure them out to meet them on the pretext of reinforcement support, and finally annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Now that the war between us and the enemy is urgent, there is nothing wrong with Yuan Jun thinking so. But later, the spies took out the token of General Park to show his innocence, and it stands to reason that Yuan Jun should understand that he is too careful when he sees the token. No one would have imagined that Yuan Jun would cut the token in two with a knife, saying that the token was forged by the Japanese and asking someone to pull the spies out and cut them off.
He made a decision in a hurry, and several lieutenants around him felt that it was too hasty. Although what Yuan Jun said was reasonable, the spies had already taken out the token, even if it was possible that it was forged. But before the investigation is clear, the spies should be taken into custody first, and a small team of people should be sent to secretly investigate the truth, and then make a decision after their own spies bring back the real information.
Otherwise, if you kill a good person by mistake, it will not only chill the reinforcements, but also make the army unstable. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that most of this spy is real, and the token is not forged, but after all, Yuan Jun is the supreme commander, and no one can point out his mistake directly.
Everyone persuaded them, but Yuan Jun turned a deaf ear, pulled out a knife on the spot, cut off the spies' head, and ordered his brother Yuan Shizun to bring 10,000 soldiers and horses to kill the Japanese invaders.
As Qi Chu expected, when Yuan Shizun sent out the troops, he said that the Japanese were cunning, and it was very likely that they would wear Korean military uniforms and disguise themselves as reinforcements, so no matter what the other party wore or said, they would be killed.
Yuan Shizun is Yuan Jun's own brother, so he naturally knows what his younger brother thinks in his heart, and the reason why he let himself lead troops to encircle and suppress is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Something like this can only be relied upon if it is handed over to one's own brother.
If it weren't for Qi Chu's cleverness and capture Yuan Shizun, it would be difficult for more than 2,000 people on his side to survive.
Sun Jing called for a count of casualties, and received the news that one hundred and thirty-six soldiers had died, seventy-nine were seriously wounded, and two hundred and twenty-one were lightly wounded.
He and Master Chen pounded their chests, eager to dismantle the tent to relieve their breath.
Qi Chu remained quiet all the time, and after Li Yiqi finished speaking, he asked, "Vice General Li, why did Yuan Jun want to kill us?"
Li Yiqi shook his head and sighed: "It's a long story, let's sit down first." ”
About 14 years ago, Oda Nobunaga, the true ruler of Japan, known as the "Demon King of the Heavens", committed suicide due to the rebellion of his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide. The whole country was in turmoil for a time, but Oda Nobunaga's henchman Toyotomi Hideyoshi defeated Akechi Mitsuhide, ending this period of war and turmoil. Toyotomi Hideyoshi thus became the next ruler of Japan.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was extremely ambitious and tried in vain to occupy Korea and the Ming Dynasty. Six years ago, the 200,000-strong Japanese army invaded Korea and occupied half of the country in an instant. The whole of Korea was in a great panic, and at the time of crisis, one of them stood up, this person named Yi Sunsin, who was able to ride and shoot well since he was a child, and knew the art of war, and was appointed as the envoy of the Jeolla Left Province Naval Army, leading the whole country's troops to resist foreign enemies.
Finally, under the leadership of Yi Sunsin, the Korean naval army was like a rainbow, winning all the way, and finally joined forces with the Ming reinforcements to repel the 200,000 Japanese army.
Since then, Yi Sunsin has become famous in the first war, and the world knows it, even the always vicious Japanese robbers are terrified.
According to Li Yiqi, after repelling the Japanese army, the whole country celebrated, and the people of the country regarded Yi Sunsin as the god of salvation. Due to his great reputation, the monarch of Joseon at that time, Yi Hao, was worried that Yi Sunsin would be a great meritorious, so he was wary of it everywhere.
The defeat of 200,000 troops did not make Toyotomi Hideyoshi give up the idea of invading Korea, and he finally made a comeback six years later.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi knew that there was a gap between the monarch Li Hao and Yi Sunsin, and Li Hao was suspicious and suspicious. So Toyotomi Hideyoshi used a counter-plot to falsely accuse Yi Sunsin of rebellion, and when Li Hao learned of this, he immediately dismissed Yi Sunsin and sent him to prison.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's conspiracy succeeded, and he led the army of the whole country across the sea. This time, without Yi Sunsin's command, the Korean naval army was defeated.
The monarch Li Hao appointed Yuan as the commander-in-chief of the naval army and fought against the Japanese at all costs. Yuan Jun had a reckless personality and quickly disagreed with the mild-mannered Yi Sunsin. While fighting against the Japanese invaders, he squeezed out Yi Sunsin's old subordinates.
Li Yiqi and Park generals were all under Yi Sunsin, and Yuan Jun had long wanted to find an opportunity to do it. Although Li Yiqi is a deputy general, he has no soldiers and no power, and Yuan Jun transferred him to his side just to humiliate him. And General Park is far away in Haizhou, with soldiers in his hands, and Yuan Jun regards him as a thorn in the flesh.
Yuan Jun was afraid that one day Yi Sunsin would rehabilitate Zhaoxue, and then his old troops would definitely come to his aid, and he would have a bad reputation in the army and would no longer have a foothold. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with Yi Sunsin's old subordinates one by one before he is released from prison, so that even if Yi Sunsin is released from prison one day, he has no soldiers to use, and no matter how big he is, there is no need to worry.
It happened that today, General Park arrived in Ulsan with 2,000 men and horses, and Yuan Jun had a plan to frame the spies who came to report the news as Japanese spies, and ordered his brother Yuan Shizun to lead troops to kill the enemy. As long as General Park is annihilated and the roots are eliminated, even if the news leaks in the future, the monarch Li Hao knows that he killed the reinforcements by mistake. He can also say that he was in a hurry to do it without finding out the truth, all because he was cunning and afraid of variables. In such a prevarication, even if the monarch Li Hao wants to blame, he can only blame him for manslaughter, and he can't do anything to him. After all, now that the Japanese are attacking, they still have to keep him to command the war.
Qi Chu and the three of them listened to Li Yiqi's explanation and finally understood the reason. It seems that open and secret strife does not only exist in the Ming court, but as long as there is power, there are conspiracies.
