Liu Wei was pounding in his heart.

I can only bite the bullet and tell lies with my eyes open.

What kind of pretense of peace talks, what kind of half-way attack.

Anyway, regardless of whether Wang Shiqi believed it or not, he had to find an excuse for himself, otherwise it would be difficult for him to survive the court's accountability. If he failed to protect himself, his former colleagues would go to the Jiaofang Division to patronize his wife and daughter.

In response to this, Wang Jianjun just smiled and urged Liu Wei to attack the city quickly and show his sincerity to let his brothers in the Navy trust us again.

To commit a crime and make meritorious service?

Wang Shiqi gently revealed the matter, which made Liu Wei uneasy. Just like Honda Tadakatsu completely lost his trust in the Ming army, he completely abandoned the idea of ​​​​peace talks and began to force himself to bring out his direct troops, preparing to show a tough stance.

There is only one thing that Admiral Liu can't figure out. He secretly mobilized fifty-three people. For an army of nearly thirty thousand, this number is inconspicuous. Except for the envoy Wu Zongdao, who has a little status, the rest are all big soldiers. , how could the news leak out?

The mole!

Unfortunately, Liu Wei could not find them and did not have time to dig them out.

Because the actor acted extremely proactive and united in sabotaging the negotiations for his own cake.

Especially Bai Yu.

The troops entering North Korea can be roughly divided into three groups. The first group is the general troops and guerrillas who were first stationed on the peninsula, or the Northwest Army who stayed by the Yalu River to observe the situation, Lu Li, Duke, Pan Ming, and even those who chose the Li Dynasty camp. The actor is among them.

The second batch followed Li Rumei's troops to support the Liaodong Army in Seoul, and there were also actors among them.

But there are still many actors who only arrived on the peninsula during the major support stage, and Bai Yu is among them.

If you don't show up, you'll be screwed!

The principal most likely made such arrangements in the hope that their appearance could reverse the tragedy——

The Ming army opened the curtain on resisting Japan and aiding Korea with a failed battle in Pyongyang, and another failed four-way attack ended the land confrontation with the Japanese.

Although in this process, the Ming army had the upper hand in most of the confrontations with Japan, and staged a drama of defeating more with less, the failure of the first and last battles blinded countless pairs of eyes.

So much so that in later generations, Korean scholars even clamored that their ancestors were able to repel the Japanese pirates even without the participation of the Ming army.

If Liu Wei, Ma Gui, and Dong Yiyuan had given up their selfishness and tried their best, there would have been no chance for such bizarre theories to appear. Hundreds of years later, the achievements of the Ming army would have been unilaterally obliterated by the Koreans.

"To be extreme, if the imperial court hadn't sent out supervisory troops to restrain the three admirals, they might have signed a peace agreement with the Japanese and happily sent them back home. In this way, no one would die on either side, and everyone would be happy."

Lu Li stood outside and looked at Sunchon Wa Fortress, waiting for a letter from there, or a direct show of sincerity.

The strategic goal of this four-pronged offensive was to cut and isolate the four defense areas of Suncheon, Sacheon, Busan, and Ulsan of the Japanese army, break through their defense lines, and annihilate the enemy's effective strength.

Therefore, he did not think about the other three directions for the time being, and just stuck to Shuntian Wacheng!

Otherwise, the so-called major counterattack of nearly 100,000 Ming troops will become a joke. The only positive meaning that can be used to cover up shame is to make the Japanese realize that the advantage of the coalition is unshakable, and then speed up their retreat.

The reason why the Japanese gave up the fat in their mouths was that firstly, the gains outweighed the losses, and many daimyo hated fighting. Secondly, Hideyoshi's health deteriorated and he was not going to die soon. Maeda Toshiie and other daimyo collectively requested to withdraw their troops.

So where is the old monkey?

Where are you hiding?

Probably not in Suncheon.

Lu Li, like most people, felt that Toyotomi Hideyoshi should be in Sichuan, which was the target of the Central Route Army, and the commander was Dong Yiyuan.

Due to the inconvenience of correspondence, he could only hope that the fleet sent out earlier would deliver the news back as soon as possible so that he could know the meaning of the beacon that suddenly burned that night.

Logically speaking, even if Peng Xingu and his black men and soldiers from the Beijing camp had no military discipline, the actors would immediately step in to eliminate the possibility of explosion.

And Dong Yiyuan...

If after taking Shuntian, it is confirmed that Hideyoshi is in Sichuan, then Lu Li will definitely lead the navy to rush over to help the battle and help Dong Yiyuan win the victory.

Compared with the Eastern and Western Routes, the Central Route Army has been the most active in fighting in history. Although it has nothing to do with personal ideological consciousness, it is mainly because there are many factions under its command and there are no direct relatives at all. Naturally, it has no intention of preserving its strength, but it dares to fight. It’s really rare to dare to fight.

Historically, two of the three armies avoided fighting, and both were rewarded with great victories in the end——

Xing Jie didn't dare to write it down, so he made a twist. After all, the process is not important, the important thing is the result. Although the reason why the two route armies were able to capture the target was because the Japanese took the initiative to surrender and the entire army withdrew to the mainland, they finally completed the mission. .

Only the Central Route Army suffered such a disastrous defeat that it was difficult to cover it up. As a result, the two generals who fled first, Hao Sanpin and Ma Chengwen, were shown their heads to the public and dismissed from their posts immediately. Peng Xingu was exempted from the death penalty, but could not escape the crime of living. In the army, Dai Zui performed meritorious service; Dong Yiyuan was dismissed from his post and demoted to the third level.

However, because Dong Yiyuan was more conscientious than his two colleagues and had fought with the Japanese with real swords and guns, he won a lot of praise from the Koreans.

(Probably for this reason, after the victory of the War to Resist Japan and Aid Korea, all the generals returned home one after another to receive rewards or punishments. Only Dong Yiyuan, a great scholar of the Han Dynasty after Dong Zhongshu, who was at the level of a border official, returned home briefly and brought two His sons Dong Dashun and Dong Changshun returned to the peninsula again and chose to settle in Guangchuan.

This line took root and became a famous family, the Dong family in Guangchuan, and its descendants are still active today. )

"well."

The Ming Dynasty collapsed.

After sighing from the bottom of his heart, Lu Li stopped thinking about these embarrassing things. This war has lasted too long. On the contrary, Nanyuan, the most dangerous place, actually fought the most comfortably. Now that the war has come to an end, the situation is very obvious.

With the 100,000 Kwantung Allied Forces joining, the major admirals of the Ming Army were thinking about how to defeat and drive away the Japanese pirates while preserving their own strength. How could the Allied Forces prevent the return of nearly 200,000 warriors?

We can only intercept and kill as many as possible to leave a deep impression on them.

Honda Tadakatsu and Dongguo Wushuang are Lu Li's ultimate goals. Since leaving Nanyuan, he has been making money in everything he does.

"Sir, the envoy from the Western Route Army wants to see you."

The interrogator's words brought Lu Li, who was exhausted physically and mentally, back to reality.

"Let him come."

If nothing unexpected happens, Liu Wei will show great sincerity after accepting his fate so as to save his wealth and life.

As expected, the envoy told Lu Li that the Western Route Army would take the initiative to launch an aggressive attack on Shuntian at night and request overseas naval forces to support them with artillery bombardment to distract Honda Tadakatsu's energy.

There are no secret codes.

Don’t even make an appointment.

Start by yourself, this is sincerity!

"Bullshit..." Chen Li sneered.
