"Report..."
"Report! Mr. Liu has boarded the ship!"
"Report! The Qianzhou navy has set off!"
"Report..."
"A navy force of a thousand people will challenge the two ministers, Liu Shilang!"
"Report..."
Seoul.
Li Yan also sat quietly in his heart-nurturing palace.
Battle reports from the front were sent one by one.
That's right.
Next, the second hurdle that Liu Shilang and Liu Shilang encountered was the navy.
In the Li Dynasty, there was a dry river. If Liu Zheng wanted to go to Seoul, he had to cross this dry river. After the dry river, there is Qianzhou.
Navy.
This is the existence that Liu Zheng will challenge next.
Li Yan didn't say a word.
He really didn't expect that this Liu Shilang, no, his entourage, could be so capable of fighting, and Huajin Village, Bazhou, didn't even hurt him at all.
He suddenly thought.
What if Liu Shilang can really reach Seoul safely?
So what will the situation in Seoul be like?
Don't want this.
He looked to one side and saw that it was an urgent military report.
It was sent by Li Zhenzhu from the front line.
In the military report, Li Zhenzhu reported that the Japanese army was marching at a speed that made people suspicious. It was very likely that they were reinforcements from the Japanese country!
Li Yan was still shocked when he saw this analysis.
Want reinforcements? You must know that the current Japanese army in Gyeongsang Province used to be 300,000, but after the consumption in the past six months, and being manipulated by Xiao Qian, there are now about 250,000 left. But even these two hundred and fifty thousand were too much for Li Chao to resist... The Japanese army was too powerful in combat.
If so, the Japanese country comes to reinforce again...
Li Zhenzhu conveyed Xiao Qian's guess that if Japan asked for help this time, the number of reinforcements would definitely not be less than 200,000! What is this concept? Two hundred thousand! Including the previous troops, the Japanese army dispatched this time was half a million troops! This is the rhythm of destroying the country!
The battle to destroy the country!
It seems that this Japanese country is going to put all its efforts into a desperate fight!
"Summon Jin Wanji!"
Li Yan thought for a moment and waved his hand.
Soon, the current leader of the Western Party, Kim Man-ki, stooped and walked in.
"Kings!"
He saluted.
Li Yan handed Li Zhenzhu's letter to Jin Wanji: "Master Jin, take a look and tell me what you think."
Jin Wanji looked carefully and laughed immediately: "Your Majesty, I think Mr. Li is exaggerating! Hahahaha, these people have been defeated repeatedly, so they made the matter so serious, probably I just want to leave a way out for myself!"
"oh?"
Li Yan chuckled, looking at Jin Manji seriously without comment.
Jin Manji's face straightened and he followed: "Your Majesty, the current situation of the Japanese country is not that clear. The rule of the Tokugawa shogunate is already in danger. The Japanese country is empty, so it has been harassing our Li Dynasty. This is well known. Thirty They still need to fight to support an army of ten thousand, but they can’t afford another two hundred thousand, first of all in terms of military rations!”
Li Yan still didn't speak and waited for the next sentence.
Jin Manji continued: "Secondly, the Japanese population is not that strong. Proportionally speaking, the Japanese army actually does not have much reserves... The current general of the Tokugawa shogunate is a selfish person. He will use all By sending out a large army, his own combat power will be damaged? At that time, I am afraid that his dominance over the Japanese country will be affected. Your Majesty, don’t forget that there is still an emperor in Kyoto, the Japanese country.”
Li Yan nodded: "So what Master Jin means is..."
Jin Manji laughed loudly, with a look of disdain on his face: "General Li Zhenzhu, he is getting old... He has lost his sense after several defeats. This time he is afraid of losing again, so he wants to reinforce... Your Majesty, our Li Dynasty , I can’t hold it any longer.”
Li Yan suddenly became hesitant.
That's right.
Today's Li Chao really can't hold on any longer.
This war, which has lasted for more than half a year, has emptied almost all of the Li Dynasty's combat power and military reserves.
Asking for help?
How to help?
Once more aid is given, I am afraid that the Li Dynasty will also be in chaos.
"turn down!"
Li Yan picked up the pen and wrote two words.
…
"What?"
"what are you saying?"
at this time.
At the front line of Qinghe Town, Li Zhenzhu, who was leading his soldiers to build fortifications, changed his face when he heard this.
"Why reject it?"
"Why!"
"That's an army of half a million, an army of half a million!"
He was so anxious that his beard stood on end.
Doesn't this cost his life?
Now the entire Qinghe Town, including Xiao Qian's 50,000-strong army, is only 150,000 when fully calculated! This also includes this and other miscellaneous personnel!
One hundred and fifty thousand……
Right half a million!
How to fight this?
how to spell?
Isn't this a suicide? Doesn't this mean that Zhongqing Dao will be given to these Japanese people?
But.
He also knew Li Yan's concerns. The current Li Chao is really too empty. This is one of them. Secondly, the main reason was that he had no evidence or intelligence that the Japanese army was rushing for reinforcements.
Thinking of this, Li Zhenzhu felt dejected in his heart.
It’s useless! I am still too useless!
The intelligence system he worked so hard to establish in Gyeongsang Province was completely destroyed by the Japanese army.
Now……
He was completely blind to the information about all places in Gyeongsang Province.
"Has it been rejected..."
Li Zhenzhu quickly conveyed the news to Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian nodded and stood up suddenly: "Give up Qinghe Town!"
"What?"
"General Xiao, you absolutely must not!"
"General Xiao..."
A group of generals from the Li Dynasty knelt down one after another and tried their best to persuade them. Li Zhenzhu, in particular, was in tears: "General Xiao, no matter what, we can't retreat anymore, we can't retreat anymore! If we retreat again, the entire Li Dynasty will be in danger." It’s all over!”
Others were also wiping away tears.
As a soldier, who doesn’t have feelings for family and country? Who doesn’t want to protect the country?
Gyeongsang-do is gone.
Zhongqing said, they must not throw it away! The Japanese army must not be allowed to enter Chungcheong Province, otherwise the entire Chungcheong Province will be devastated, and it will directly threaten Gyeonggi Province! Gyeonggi Province, that’s where the capital is!
Xiao Qian smiled coldly: "Your country is unwilling to send reinforcements, so what can I do? General Li, even if the Japanese army mobilizes 100,000 troops to occupy the various cities and checkpoints and fortresses in Gyeongsang Province, we are still no match for them. ! 150,000, even compared to the 150,000 of the Japanese army, it’s still too much, considering the fighting power of your army..."
These words made Li Zhenzhu and others look ashamed.
"If you don't give up, what can you do?"
Xiao Qian is a qualified general, and he will not let his brothers die in vain.
What's more.
He now knows that Li Chao's attitude towards Liu Shilang is not very good now.
"General Xiao..."
"You must not..."
"General Xiao, I will send another letter asking for help, and I will try harder! Never give up on Qinghe Town!"
Li Zhenzhu was so anxious that he kowtowed frequently on the ground.
"General Xiao, let's guard first..."
"If the Japanese army really comes, it won't be too late for us to give up!"
"yes……"
These people in the Li Dynasty knew that once Long Yan's army left, they would really let the Japanese army ravage them.
no.
Absolutely not!
Xiao Qian smiled coldly: "The intrigues in your country really chill Xiao..."
He glanced at Li Zhenzhu, who was in tears, and finally sighed: "But General Li's patriotism made Xiao admire him endlessly."
He looked at the Li Chao soldiers who were busy outside and couldn't help but said: "It's not that Li Chao has no fighting power, it's that it doesn't have a single mind."
"That's all..."
"General Li urges you again. If Japanese reinforcements attack, no reinforcements will arrive..."
"Then, we have only one way to withdraw our troops!"
Xiao Qian said lightly.
Li Zhenzhu was overjoyed.
This old general of the Li Dynasty has aged more than ten years in these days. When he stood up, his whole body was shaky.
Xiao Qian started to speak but stopped.
In the end, nothing was said.
Outside.
At this time, dark clouds were already over the city.
