Li Yu kept wandering, and his heart was in chaos.
He thought that leading troops to fight would be easy, but the failure in the sixth year of Chenghua, coupled with the unfavorable battle in the early seventh year of Chenghua, made this royal nobleman understand that military formations were not that simple.
It is not that easy to lead a large army and quell the rebellion for the king.
Whether he wants to climb over the mountain pass and move on.
Are there any ambush ahead?
More than a thousand people died this time. Will ten thousand people die if they are ambushed again?
Will I be among the dead?
Of course, I, Li Yu, am not afraid of death.
But I can't die.
If I die, what will the king do?
He thought of Zhao Fu, invited Zhao Fu over, and wanted to ask Zhao Fu what good advice he had, but Zhao Fu rejected him because he did not understand the situation.
The most egregious thing is that the army on the east route used the road to bypass the rear, but Ming Dynasty did not allow it.
Do they want to help our North Korean orthodoxy, or do they want to help the rebels in Pyongyang?
This made Li Yu somewhat dissatisfied, but in front of Zhao Fu, he did not dare to express it at all.
But Li Yu is a person who is not good at pretending.
How could Zhao Fu not know about Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.
"Jincheng Jun, the failure of the army on the east route is inevitable. Anping County is already the land of our Ming Dynasty. How can we allow the armies of vassal states to use the road at will?" Zhao Fu said coldly.
Lord Jincheng, who was pacing back and forth, stopped and looked at Zhao Fu with an innocent look.
"General Zhao, I didn't say anything."
"My general knows that you didn't say anything, but you can't think like this in your heart. The look you gave me just now showed some dissatisfaction. My general knows that you are grudged against me, Ming Dynasty, for not letting the Eastern Route Army use the road." Zhao Fu said with a sneer.
After hearing what Zhao Fu said, Li Yu felt moved in her heart.
Is it possible that this Ming Dynasty man is covered with evil thoughts all over his body? He can see through his own thoughts just by looking at him.
"Misunderstood, General Zhao must have misunderstood. I'm just worried about the situation of the war, and I don't dare to be disrespectful to Ming Dynasty, even in my heart." Li Yu said with a smile.
Zhao Fu stood up.
"Jincheng Jun, the two armies are facing each other, and they are timid. Even if you don't attack, the huge army can put pressure on Kaicheng Mansion and make them dare not move rashly. It will be helpful to the Central Army. If you retreat, , I’m afraid that the middle route army will be eaten whole.”
He had already seen how capable Jincheng Jun was. Although he could not directly intervene in the attack, he was also afraid that Li Yu would retreat rashly when his head was hot, causing heavy losses to the Seoul army and losing the advantage against the rebels in Pyongyang.
"Yes, I also think what the general said is reasonable. Set up camp first, advance step by step, and wait until the east route army and the middle route army merge to attack the hinterland of Pyongyang. At that time, our army will press on the entire front and seize Kaesong." Cheng Jun said quickly.
Zhao Fu sighed to himself.
Isn't your West Route Army the main attacking army...
It seems that I have to cheer up and don't let the people in Pyongyang steal Seoul. These frontline troops are still at a loss.

A group of armored cavalry entered Anping County.
The Jurchens and Koreans in the city looked at these hundreds of cavalry with some fear.
The person leading the team was Shi Heng's great nephew, Shi Biao.
After Shi Biao entered the city, he also looked at the people on the street casually.
The order in Anping County is very good. There are no fights or snatching of property.
The main reason is that the biggest bandit bullies here are Ming army soldiers.
Anyone who dared to show off would be chopped off directly, and their headless corpses would be hung on the top of the city wall.
Koreans and Jurchens living in the city can freely exchange the necessities of life.
The most important thing is that almost all North Korean officials and gentry in the north have withdrawn from the city, leaving behind a large number of houses. The people who were plundered by Shi Heng were directly divided into houses, saving them 40 years of struggle.
However, again, Shi Heng had no control over military discipline.
Although these Jurchen and Korean people are not in danger of life, they are still harassed by Ming soldiers from time to time.
This intrusion is not about grabbing food, but the Ming army soldiers are very angry and give some women some simple and in-depth exchanges. According to the official words of the county government, they are happy...
However, these women are not very opposed to this behavior.
The long-term wars in Liaoping Mansion caused heavy losses to their men and made their lives difficult. Some beautiful women even took the initiative to seek out Ming army soldiers in order to support their elderly and children.
If they serve the soldiers well, they can also get a certain amount of food.
There was also an unmarried woman who wanted to marry a Ming army soldier, and the Ming army soldiers were also very keen.
Because many grassroots soldiers do not have wives, it is a bit difficult to rely on their own skills to buy land, build houses and marry wives in Guangning, Shenyang and other places. It would be easier to find a North Korean woman as a wife.
However, when Shi Heng learned about it, he was furious. How could a great Ming Dynasty man marry a barbarian girl? I just wanted to issue the first military ban on entering North Korea. I can't be responsible if I can do it.
But as soon as this military order was promulgated, Sun Xiang stopped it.
This was also the first red-eyed dispute between Sun Xiang and Shi Heng.
Shi Heng felt that his brothers were happy and happy, but if you marry someone back home, she is your real wife. You are sorry for your ancestors, and you feel sorry for your sons and daughters in your heart.
Sun Xiang said, at this time, it has become a national policy to change the land into the people. Two generations later, these people will be the subjects of the Ming Dynasty. How can you still discriminate? What's more, the soldiers have been fighting for the country for I don't know how many years they have been marching. Many soldiers We don't even have a home, how can you bear it?
Shi Heng replied that after the rotation, Lao Shi would find a wife for them.
Sun Xiang asked how to find it. Are you going to Mongolia to snatch women? Or do you dare to force the people of Liaodong to betroth their daughters to the soldiers? There is no other way. If you are willing, it would be good to settle here.
Neither of them could convince the other, so they could only take a step back.
Shi Heng did not openly stop the ban and allow soldiers to marry Korean women, but secretly he still obstructed it in every possible way. Sun Xiang also knew that he could not force Shi Heng to be too harsh, so he turned a blind eye to the small actions in his hands.
Although there are all kinds of obstructions, the actual results are quite limited.
Even the Milky Way between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl couldn't stop them from dating...
Liang Shanbo's Zhu Yingtai turned into a butterfly and flew together.
Therefore, the number of soldiers who have married Korean women has reached two to three hundred, and the number of soldiers who have married Jurchen women has reached one hundred.
After the men of the Han family had families, they started fighting more fiercely...
Shi Heng was powerless to stop this trend.
In fact, the situation in Anping City is happening everywhere in Liaoping Mansion.
Not to mention that almost all the people in the Dongshan camp were slaughtered, and the women who lived in the Fancha camp and Li Man's camp gave birth to thousands of children for Ming army soldiers.
Shi Biao looked at the Jurchen and Korean people on both sides of the street and chuckled: "I don't even have a decent place to live in the north, and my uncle has already lived a good life here."
Most of these people were women, which was why Shi Biao laughed.
Shi Biao and Shi Heng had been separated for a year. They were leading the army alone and had become much calmer. There was also a scar on his face, which was scratched by an arrow.
Shi Biao and others entered the General Military Mansion.
Shi Heng was in his room, observing the imperial poem Zhu Jianshen had given him, when his own soldiers came to report: "General, General Shi Biao has arrived."
"Let him in."
"yes."
Although Shi Heng's tone was calm, he still missed his great nephew very much.
But how can a man's feelings be as delicate as a woman's?
Shi Biao strode into the room, then knelt down towards Shi Heng: "My nephew pays homage to my uncle."
Shi Heng turned around and glanced at Shi Biao: "Get up."
When Shi Heng saw the scars on Shi Biao's face, he felt a little distressed, but he still said calmly: "What's wrong with your face?"
"Uncle, I met a master of archery. We were shooting at each other a hundred steps away. He shot his nephew's face. The nephew swung his bow and shot, and the arrow shot through his neck. It was very satisfying."
Shi Biao was full of experience with the joy of sniping.
"Don't be so rash next time, hey..."
Shi Biao laughed: "Uncle, are you feeling sorry for your nephew?"
"You are thinking too much. I am thinking, how can you see His Majesty like this? Otherwise, you should not follow me back to the capital. Even if you cannot scare His Majesty, it is not good to scare the children in the capital." Shi Heng He said coldly.
Look, did your uncle say this?
"By the way, come, Biao'er, take a look at the poem His Majesty gave to your old uncle. Look at this poem. On the day when the imperial edict comes back in peace, I will take off my shirt with the general. It really moved me to tears. No, why don’t you cry?”
Shi Heng saw Shi Biao's confused face and was very angry. Your old uncle was already in a mood, but you were pretending to be dumbfounded.
"Uncle, what His Majesty gave you was not given to me. Why should I cry? Whenever Your Majesty writes poems to my nephew, my nephew will not let my uncle cry."
Shi Heng looked at Shi Biao blankly. Although he didn't deserve a beating, what he said made sense.
"How much loot did you get from there, especially gold and silver and other items? You must bring it with you when you enter the capital this time."
"There is not much gold and silver, only more than 100,000 taels. We divided 50,000 taels among the soldiers, and there are still 50,000 taels left. Commander Kou, General Liu must have more than 200,000 taels of silver, and he also divided 70,000 to 80,000 taels. Two, the remaining 100,000 taels have been integrated, but there are more mink skins, ginseng and other items. My nephew has filled eight carts, and Kou Commander-in-Chief, General Liu has twelve carts."
Shi Heng nodded: "It's okay to distribute it to the soldiers, but the books must be kept clean, and the bosses below should be kept an eye on, so as not to let them get greedy."
"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew is not that stupid. How much money do you have here?"
Shi Heng raised a middle finger.
"One hundred thousand taels?"
"One million taels."
