rout.
Great rout.
The entire Li Dynasty was filled with mourning, and despair began to spread.
At this time, not only Zhongqing Road, but also the Japanese pirates' raid was opened. Zhongqing Road, which was empty of troops, instantly fell into panic. Here, Qinghe Town suffered another great defeat.
Li Yan and Li Hyuna in Seoul are almost desperate.
The civil and military officials were also anxious.
Li Hang, Min An and others, who had been fighting for a long time before, all united and became busy.
Deploy troops and generals!
Deploy troops and generals!
Li Chao has reached a moment of life and death!
"Quick, quick, how many soldiers and horses are there?"
"Where's the grain and fodder over here, where's the grain and fodder!"
"And swords, arrows, arrows! You losers!"
The entire cabinet was in chaos. Everyone was constantly issuing orders, and then these orders were sent out through various letters and inns.
National mobilization.
Today's Li Dynasty is truly united as people have never seen before. These veterans no longer attack each other or engage in intrigues.
How can there be eggs under the cover of the nest?
If the Li Dynasty is gone, what's the point of fighting for their power?
"Kings!"
"Kings……"
Li Yan walked in slowly and looked at the busy people who had arrived all night, with a happy smile on his face. Yes. This kind of Li Dynasty is the Li Dynasty he wants, and this kind of court is the kind of court he wants. Shilang Liu, Shilang Liu, is really amazing. It's just that this kind of unity has to appear in this tense situation, but I'm glad that at this time, we are finally united.
As soon as he walked in, a group of people stood up and saluted.
Li Yan chuckled and waved his hand: "My dear friends, now that I am no longer involved in state affairs, you can continue to discuss your affairs."
He waved his hand, and people from the royal kitchen in the harem walked in one after another, thinking that he was bringing warmth and midnight snacks to the ministers who were working overtime.
"Hahaha, thank you, Your Majesty, I'm really hungry now!"
"I'll have some too!"
The atmosphere at the scene began to become cheerful.
It was hard to take a break during the tense break.
Li Yan wanted to ask something, but he hesitated.
"Your Majesty, the situation is actually not that pessimistic."
Li Hang knew what Li Yan was worried about and smiled lightly.
"oh?"
Li Yan looked confused.
Li Hang laughed and said: "Although one hundred thousand Japanese pirates have entered Zhongqing Road, we, the people of Li Dynasty, have organized a resistance team behind enemy lines this time to play around with these Japanese pirates who have done evil. If these Japanese pirates want to I'm afraid it will take some time to join forces with the Japanese army. And..."
"And what?"
Li Yan continued to ask.
Li Hang continued: "Haha, and unexpectedly, this time, the martial arts people in Huajin Village also organized a martial arts team. They are called the martial arts Rangers. The fighting power of these people is not bad! Wang There are at least 10,000 people in this special team, and they have begun to call on all martial arts people to start resisting the Japanese pirates, and I don’t know how many people responded.”
"really?"
Only then did Li Yan look overjoyed.
Martial arts people! These guys, who almost always go against the court, actually organized themselves to fight against the Japanese?
OK OK!
Li Yan immediately burst into tears.
Today's Li Dynasty is really too united.
"General Li, how are you?"
He took a deep breath and asked.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Your Majesty, General Li... fell ill."
Li Yan slowly closed his eyes and couldn't help but shed tears.
General Lee is too difficult.
It's really difficult. Although he was the main reason for this defeat, he is currently the strongest general in the Li Dynasty. He is almost sixty years old. He has persisted until now with his soldiers. There is no merit, but there is hard work, and I am talking about people like Li Zhenzhu.
Others also sighed.
"However, General Xiao woke up that day and took charge of the battle again. Today, the battle situation has finally been stabilized."
Li Hang sighed and said.
Li Yan was relieved and said: "Okay, okay... My dear friends, I am going back alone."
He tried to hide the tiredness and sadness in his voice.
yes.
In the entire Li Dynasty, there was no other famous general who could compare to Xiao Qian from Long Yan.
But what about Xiao Qian?
In Long Yan, there were no generals under Liu Shilang's command at all...but there were more famous generals under Liu Shilang's command! For example, Qin Changfeng, Jiang Xuan, who defeated the Ottomans in a battle and whose reputation has long been spread, Su Qi, the commander of the navy, Zou Sheng, who at a young age was able to use soldiers like a god, and so on...
What a talent explosion.
How can Li Chao be compared with Li Chao?
desolate.
But fortunately, the Li Dynasty will now begin to take off. The prerequisite is to drive away these beasts from the Japanese country.
"General Li..."
"The general is awake, the general is awake!"
at this time.
It was another busy night at the camp.
A group of people gathered around Li Zhenzhu's bed and shouted.
Xiao Qian also walked over slowly.
Li Zhenzhu, at this time, looked very old and decayed. His eyes were sunken, and he looked as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant. Seeing Xiao Qian's concern, he couldn't help crying anymore: "General Xiao, Li is useless, Li is useless, and he was fooled by that traitor Mizuno again!"
Xiao Qian hurriedly said: "What are General Li's words? Old General Li, with one cry, stood firm in Qinghe Town for more than half a month. Xiao has always admired him."
This is quite true.
At that time, Li Zhenzhu, with his soldiers, resisted the attack of the Japanese army. The entire Qinghe Town was leveled. If it weren't for Li Zhenzhu's soul-stirring speech in front of the battle, Qinghe Town would have been destroyed. Just lost it.
"But but..."
Li Zhenzhu didn't know what to say.
He knows that he still lacks the demeanor of a general. At some critical moments, he is prone to radicalization and makes repeated mistakes for this reason. But there is no way, there is really no one in the Li Dynasty, the young generals are not useful, and the veterans dare not take responsibility.
Only him.
This time, Long Yan's army suffered a direct loss until only 20,000 were left...
This is what he feels most guilty about Xiao Qian. Similarly, he also knows the combat effectiveness of Long Yan's army. Of the 20,000, there are only 20,000 left. What is the concept? Li Chao is in danger, really in danger.
"Old General Li, there is no need to worry. As long as there is still one person in our Longyan army, we will not let the Japanese army invade, even half a step along the Chungcheong Road!"
Xiao Qian held back tears.
In fact, his impression of Li Zhenzhu at this time had already been reversed.
It's really not easy for this old general.
He knew he couldn't defeat the Japanese army, but he had to fight. Sometimes, this kind of courage and responsibility are the most admirable!
"Okay, okay..."
Li Zhenzhu, tears can no longer be shed.
His lips started to get dry.
It's very difficult to say these words.
"Also, Minister Liu, we will be at the front line soon."
Xiao Qian said.
"What?"
"Very good!"
"Is he coming?"
"this……"
Everyone became excited.
Li Zhenzhu's eyes also lit up.
Although he has not had much dealings with Liu Shilang, and although these people have never met Liu Shilang, they are the shadow of a person's life tree. For the entire Li Dynasty, this Liu Shilang was the person who could turn things around, the person who could turn the tide. It seems that when he comes, the morale of the army is stabilized. As long as he comes, the morale is improved.
this day.
It started to rain in Qinghe Town, and the battle ended early.
Li Zhenzhu can finally take a good rest.
…
The carriage was still driving in the mud.
Liu Zheng, can't sleep.
As he expected, he was very safe along the way. He was escorted by three thousand divine crossbow guards and did not encounter any assassins or the like. He knew that these officials of the Li Dynasty and the people's hearts had stabilized.
only……
This war.
Still bothering him.
Quick victory.
In his heart, he wanted a quick victory.
pity.
No matter how you look at it, this is a protracted battle, which could take as little as half a year or even a year.
How can it be accelerated?
This is what he is thinking about now.
There are two possibilities. First, one party has absolute repressive power. In the era of cold weapons, that is the absolute advantage in numbers. But obviously, Li Chao cannot do it at present. Li Chao almost went out in full force for this battle, otherwise Zhongqingdao would not have been tortured so much by the Japanese pirates in the past few days.
Second, that is to start from the Japanese mainland...
Native.
Either something happened within the Japanese country, or the Japanese country did not have enough food and soldiers...
This is still possible. After all, the Japanese army is engaged in long-term operations, and it is easy for problems to arise in this aspect.
But here's the kicker.
The Japanese state now has very firm control over Gyeongsang Province.
If you want to do something in this area, you can only find a way in Japan.
However, the current domestic sentiment in Japan is very supportive of Mizuno Masashige's war.
what to do?
what to do?
He began to set his eyes on the Ryukyu Islands again.
The key to this battle seems to be Xie Chengqian's side.
…
Xie Chengqian locked himself in the Yangxin Hall and did not come out for several days.
No one came to see him, including Gu Long.
This has never happened before.
Changsun Qingrong also knew that His Majesty had encountered a difficult problem and had encountered a difficult decision.
Seriously.
She also read the "Letter to the King of Nanyang".
With great literary talent, this Liu Shilang has very clear logic and good eloquence. And it’s easy to capture people’s hearts.
Nanyang is indeed embarrassed now.
If they fight, they will definitely not be able to defeat Long Yan. With the rapid development of Long Yan, they are even more desperate.
How to carry out the Northern Expedition?
The Northern Expedition is death.
But they are not willing to develop the small land of Nanyang with peace of mind.
What to do?
Conquest!
Conquer Japan and conquer other places!
It can be said that this Minister Liu scratched the itch in His Majesty's heart with just a few words.
What is the value of a person's life?
How does an emperor need to prove himself?
One, governing the country.
Second, expand the territory.
Three, conquer.
This time, it's all there.
Sudden.
The door of Yangxin Hall was opened.
Xie Chengqian appeared in front of everyone with dark circles under his eyes.
"His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, long live long live long live long live..."
Everyone knelt.
Xie Chengqian lowered his voice and gritted his teeth in a hoarse voice: "Order troops, five hundred thousand!"
The whole audience.
Deathly silence.
