After Monk Nan Lai left, Sheng Yong immediately reported the news to Zhang Fu. After Zhang Fu, Yang Wen, Mao Zheng and others discussed it, although they felt a little weird and suspected that they had other intentions or traps, they thought about it carefully, what kind of conspiracy could this group of people create in the open area?
Sheng Yong received Zhang Fu's sixteen-character instructions: advance steadily, take into account the periphery, wait for opportunities, and leave no one behind.
After careful consideration, Sheng Yong decided to lead his troops to the river bend ten miles away from Liushu Village, and sent scouts to conduct reconnaissance before making a decision.
With an order, 10,000 elite infantrymen were divided into three military formations. The center army had 4,000 soldiers, all led by Sheng Yong. The left army and the right army had 3,000 sergeants each, led by Zhuang De and Li Dao.
The military formation advanced in a straight line, and the wide plains and low hills made it easier to disperse the march.
Groups of scout cavalry were continuously released, and the scope of reconnaissance was expanded to fifteen miles. Every five miles of advance, the army would pause briefly and wait for the scouts to report back. Only after the scouts from far and near reported the news, the army would move forward again.
The appearance of Monk Nan Lai made Sheng Yong a little more vigilant and cautious, but Sheng Yong never expected that these actions really overestimated Shaoer Manzhen and Shimazu Motohisa, and underestimated the power of hatred.
It was already dusk, and the setting sun was like blood. The Daning River flows calmly, with little red lights moving with the waves, as beautiful as a painting.
Ryojun Imakawa stood by the river, looking at the sunset, with a smile on his face. The shogunate mobilized various daimyo to lead troops on an expedition. Originally, Imagawa Ryotoshi was not optimistic about this battle. He believed that the expedition was useless and should be stationed on the spot.
But when the war started and the war was won again and again, Imakawa Ryojun realized that North Korea was actually so big, much bigger than his protectorate, and although it was barren, it also had a lot of wealth.
Food, women, men, children, as well as ceramics, silks, colored glazes, gems, etc. Some treasures that were originally only hidden in the Kitayama Palace of the Shogunate and the Flower Palace can now be taken into your own hands!
The wealth brought by war plunder is intoxicating. Imagawa Ryotoshi longed for war and was eager to achieve huge wealth accumulation through war.
Imakawa Zhongqiu came over, looked at the smiling Imakawa Ryojun, and said with a smile: "Brother, the news is confirmed, Li Fangyuan's army has been crowded in Uicheng, and many people have stopped by the Yalu River. North Korea is about to be destroyed, and eldest brother will become the leader of the Northern Expedition North Korea’s number one hero!” Imagawa Ryojun burst into laughter.
That's right, the number one hero! The Shiba family, the Hatakeyama family, the Akamatsu family, and the Kyogoku family, so what if they can fight?
The real achievement is not to capture a few cities, but to capture the Korean royal family, which is the achievement of destroying the country!
"What's going on with the Ming army?" Imagawa Ryojun asked. Imagawa Zhongqiu sat down, grabbed a piece of grass and bit it in his mouth: "Ming army? Oh, they are quite indifferent. After inquiring about the news, the Ming army built a boat bridge across the east and west banks, but they did not send any troops. Entering North Korea, we transported a group of Korean civilians a few days ago, and recently we have been transporting grain and grass. If we just break the bridge and give the Ming army a day, how many troops can be transported over? What’s more, we can attack Yiju early tomorrow morning! " Imagawa Ryojun kicked a stone away and said with a smile: "In Yizhou, this side of the Yalu River is all our territory. The Ming Dynasty built a ship bridge, which is a good thing for us. After capturing Li Fangyuan, we can just cross the bridge. Attack the Ming army camp. You have also seen the information given by the shogunate. The Ming army has no combat power at all. They rely entirely on firearms. As long as they rush over in one breath, this group of people will collapse in an instant." Imagawa Nakaaki became excited: " Our Imagawa clan will rise through this war, and the entire Kyushu will become our protector in the future. The Shaoer clan and the Shimazu clan, haha, can only wag their tails like a dog and kneel in front of us obediently!" Imakawa! Li Jun nodded.
Yes, that's it, and it will be the same in the future. Just as brothers Imakawa Ryotoshi and Imakawa Nakaaki were looking forward to the future, the second son, Mansada and Shimazu Motohisa, stood on a high slope, looking at the scenery to the west. Beyond the wilderness, there were dense woods. There are low hills in the distance, not very far away.
Young Master Manzada looked at Shimazu Motohisa: "It's time to avenge the humiliation and hatred of the past. As long as we kill the Imagawa clan, we will take people back to Kyushu. From now on, there will be only you and me in Kyushu." The Imagawa clan has no other famous names! How about that?" Shimazu Motohisa nodded heavily: "It's time to wash away the shame that the Imagawa clan has left for you and my family! But are you sure that the Ming Dynasty will let us go?" Young Master Manzhen nodded confidently: "Nan Lai went to see it personally. The Ming Dynasty hurriedly crossed the river and did not have many troops, at most ten thousand people. Our two families have eight thousand troops. If the Ming Dynasty does not know whether to live or die, it wants to If we get rid of the Imagawa clan and then get rid of us, that will do them no good and will only increase casualties."
"The Ming army wanted military glory, and we gave it to them. They wanted victory, and we gave it to them. From this point of view, there is no need for the Ming Dynasty to pay a heavy price to fight us. What's more, even if the Ming Dynasty wants to pursue us, it may not pursue us. Yes, after killing the Imagawa clan, we will quickly retreat to Kame City, carry the supplies there into the mountainous area, find a road south, and return to Kyushu via the Busan Port. The matters here will be left to Shiba and the others." Shimazu Motohisa was very happy. Satisfied with this plan, he said with a smile: "It is best to create the illusion that we were destroyed by the Ming army. In this way, the Shiba clan, the Hatakeyama clan and others will never think that we have returned to Kyushu Island. As for the Nakajo Mountain Road at the Busan Port Waiting for someone, haha, let’s borrow a boat to leave on the grounds that the logistics are unsustainable.” They hit it off and the two laughed.
Young Master Manzhen looked towards the setting sun, looking forward to nightfall. Stars appeared, one after another, as if they had come to see the excitement, and in a blink of an eye, the sky was filled with stars.
The camp was peaceful, and the Japanese army fell down to sleep exhausted after a day of running. The weather in early July was a bit hot, but fortunately we were next to the river, so it felt a little cooler.
Sheng Yong led the army to the dense forest three miles away from the Japanese camp. He looked at Zhuang De and said: "After you lead the troops to the Daliushu Village, the Chinese army will not move. You are not allowed to move without permission. If there are enemies who are killed and flee, you only need to chase them from a distance." , no need for close combat, just force them into Turtle City." Zhuang De agreed and left with three thousand people stepping on the starlight.
The breeze blew by, ruffling the clothes. Supervisor Sheng looked at the Japanese camp in the distance and said to Sheng Yong: "Up to now, there has been no movement from the Shaoer clan and the Shimazu clan. Is there any fraud in this?" Sheng Yong glared at Supervisor Sheng: "Guozijian taught me Why haven't you learned about your wisdom and strategy? How can you lead an army if you can't keep calm? You can't move like a mountain, haven't you even learned this?" Supervisor Sheng was a little depressed: "Father, I am just thinking. It’s a good idea to think carefully about several possibilities and make more plans.” Sheng Yong scratched his beard: “Huh, it’s all sour knowledge. Although there are countless possibilities on the battlefield, there is only one possibility in actual execution. That's killing! You see clearly, this is not a mountain, but a plain, with a river to the south and low hills to the north. The scouts are spread out, everything is moving around me, and the enemy is in front of us, how can there be multiple possibilities?" Supervisor Sheng Somewhat unhappy, he contradicted: "But I don't believe that the Shaoer family and the Shimazu family are so stupid. The enemy is still fighting among themselves and plotting to kill the general Imagawa Ryoutoshi. Isn't this a self-destruction of arms and a waste of martial arts? Mantis catching Cicada, followed by the oriole, who has seen a praying mantis catching a cicada before predicting the oriole? In the words of the Military Academy, not even a fool can do this kind of thing." Sheng Yong was silent, looking at the distance. The Japanese army camp said slowly: "Don't you think that everyone is as smart as the people in the Imperial College? Don't you think that every general is as resourceful as you? Throughout the dynasties, there have been appearances on the battlefield. Don’t you have too many idiots?”
"There are generals who give women to the enemy to prevent them from attacking the city. There are generals who give money to the enemy just to make the enemy take another route and not pass through his defense zone. There are generals who kill people and pretend to be military merits! Tell me, Which of these things was not done by idiots? There are so many idiots guarding the border, why is it untrustworthy to see a few idiots fighting among themselves? Look!" Supervisor Sheng looked around and saw that there was indeed movement in the camp in the distance. The camp to the east The shadows were gathering, while the people in the camp to the west were still lying and sleeping.
"Damn, there are really idiots." Supervisor Sheng was a little unbelievable, but he had to believe it. Sheng Yong sighed.
Nowadays, there are more and more scholars. If everyone thinks that they are smart, then others must be smart.
But not everyone has a brain. This is the historical fact. Look at history completely from the perspective of a sensible person, a wise person, and a sober person in the world. It is not history that is stupid, but those who do not know how to be in history and jump outside history to look at history.
"When this battle is over, I will go to the Imperial Academy to become a professor. That guy Gu Pu won't be able to teach good things." Sheng Yong decided secretly.
The second son Manzada and Shimazu Motohisa gathered all the forces of both sides and began the road to revenge.
"Kill!" The cry of killing suddenly shattered the tranquility. The two young men Manzada and Shimazu Motohisa led people into Imagawa Jun's camp and slaughtered them. The Japanese who were still sleeping just now couldn't figure out what happened. The thing is already dead!
Young Master Manzada stepped on the body of a dead man, brandished the Odachi sword in his hand, and shouted: "Kill the Imagawa clan and avenge Young Master Dongzi!" Shimazu Motohisa also shouted: "Kill the treacherous Imagawa clan. , wash away the shame on the Shimazu family!" The sound of killing was loud.
The troops of Shao Er Mansada and Shimazu Motohisa rushed into the Imagawa clan's military camp and massacred the Imagawa clan's subordinates. The unprepared Imagawa clan's army lost more than 300 people in an instant.
Imakawa Ryotoshi was awakened when he heard the noise. He picked up a sword and looked not far away. Imakawa Nakaaki ran over and shouted in panic: "Younger Manzada and Shimazu Motohisa have rebelled!"
"Kill these traitors with me!" Imagawa Ryotoshi stared with red eyes, gathered his samurai strength, and shouted to fight.
When the two people were fighting together, the blade passed by and the broken arm flew up!
