"Why did Mr. Jincheng suddenly have plans to use troops again..." Zhao Fu asked slowly.
Jincheng Jun Li Yu sighed and said, "Hey, there are many things General Zhao doesn't know."
"The Censor of Xudu has never fought against General Shi Heng of the Ming Dynasty. He is still in the north of North Korea and has closer contact with the rebels in Pyongyang. This is true for both rebels and ordinary people... "
"If this continues, I'm afraid it will become increasingly difficult to annihilate the rebels."
"General Zhao has trained our soldiers for a year. I also feel that we can decide the outcome in one battle. But this time, I hope that General Zhao can be the commander-in-chief of our army. After that, North Korea will definitely not treat General Zhao badly. "
After listening to Li Yu's words, Zhao Fu quickly waved his hand: "No, I don't dare to do anything beyond my reach, and now you don't have the ability to wipe out the rebels in Pyongyang. Then it will be another big defeat..."
Zhao Fu didn't save any face for Li Yu.
After listening to this, Li Yu's face turned gloomy...
Then he told Zhao Fu about the current difficulties in Seoul. He was still so honest and didn't hide anything.
The army in Seoul was defeated in every battle.
Although it has not reached the point of losing everything, no matter whether it is the soldiers at the bottom of the army, the generals at the top, Lord Jincheng, or even the king, they have lost confidence.
It can be said that there is no confidence from top to bottom.
Wait until they want to give up completely.
Zhao Fu, a general of the Ming Dynasty, actually offered to train soldiers for them, which made the leader of the country and Li Yu very excited.
It has been more than a year since the soldiers were reorganized, and according to Zheng Cong's report, during this year, the army's combat effectiveness has risen sharply, and it is fully capable of annihilating the Pyongyang rebels.
In fact, the king's uncle had not set foot in the military camp for two years, and the information he obtained was also obtained from his close aides.
It has always been Li Hongwei's ambition to exterminate the Pyongyang rebels and restore the territory of the First King.
But he was extremely weak and had great trust in Jincheng Lord Li Yu and Hancheng Lieutenant Zheng Cong who helped him regain power.
Although they often failed, causing de facto divisions, they were not punished.
The reason why we decided to launch another Northern Expedition this time is, firstly, because we feel that the combat effectiveness of our army has increased and we can complete the great task of suppressing bandits. The second reason is that the relationship between Pyongyang and Liaoping Prefecture is getting closer. I heard that their puppet king has also I went to Liaoping Mansion to ask for an audience with Shi Heng, and there were many contacts among the people...
It was also because of these two considerations that the leader Li Hongwei decided to launch another Northern Expedition.
The increasingly close relationship is likely to make Ming Dynasty truly acquiesce in the legal significance of the existence of the Pyongyang rebels, and even allow Ming Dynasty to directly grant another Northern King.
This was something Li Hongwei couldn't bear.
Immediately, he asked Jincheng Jun Li Yu if he had the ability to invade Pyongyang this year.
Li Yu agreed wholeheartedly that it would definitely work.
In fact, Shi Heng has been flirting with Pyongyang, not because he has no bottom line, but because Pyongyang gives too much.
Sun Xiang, the governor of Liaodong, also knew these things.
It can be said that a large part of the rapid construction of Liaoping City came from the help of North Korea.
The tens of thousands of soldiers from Seoul of South Korea they captured were directly transferred to Shi Heng for the price of a bucket of grain, allowing him to build the city and move bricks.
And there are also many northern people who go to Liaoping Prefecture to earn the Ming Dynasty's foreign currency during their leisure time...
Of course, this was all the idea of Zheng Zhong, the consul of North Korea. He deliberately tied himself to Liaoping Mansion, so that as long as the construction of Liaoping Mansion was not completed, he would have no worries, and North Korea could also take advantage of this. Over a period of time, he became the orthodoxy of North Korea and replaced the southern country of North Korea in the heart of the Ming Dynasty.
So Zheng Zhong arranged for the king to go to the north to ask for an audience with Marquis Wuyang...
The next step is to arrange for the king to go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to meet with His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty...
Does our king dare to travel so far to meet the boss of the suzerain country, you, the false king of Seoul?
Zhao Fu didn't know much about these situations, but with Li Yu's narration, he gradually understood a little more.
Ming's initial goal was to divide and conquer, and the next goal was to weaken them and then turn them into Ming's territory.
Of course, the goal of the first step is already known to everyone in the court. So far, only Zhu Jianshen and Zhao Fu know the goal of the second step. Even Shi Heng doesn't know much about it.
Li Yu informed Zhao Fu of all the circumstances.
After Zhao Fu heard this, his face was rather embarrassed, and then he looked at Li Yu, put his hands together and kept rubbing them.
"My hands have been a little dry these past two days."
Li Yu looked at Zhao Fu who kept rubbing his hands and sighed in his heart. This was going to make him bleed again.
He knew it in his heart, but he pretended not to understand and continued without following Zhao Fu's words: "Wash your hands frequently and stop drying them. General Zhao, look at my hands, they are not dry at all. It's smooth. If you don't believe it, just touch it." biquge.biz
As he spoke, Li Yu handed his slender white hand towards where Zhao Fu was sitting...
Zhao Fumi closed his eyes and was a little angry. He stared at Li Yu, then calmed down and said: "I have no right to interfere with your affairs in North Korea. Now the North Korean government has plans to transfer this general back to the capital, and this general also has no right to interfere." I don’t want to say anything more, Mr. Jincheng will leave slowly without seeing you off.”
Zhao Fu was trying to scare Li Yu. Logically speaking, since there was no Ming general in Seoul, they would have no information about the Ming Dynasty at all.
Moreover, even if Pyongyang sends its troops south, Seoul will have no way to contact the Ming Dynasty immediately.
This is an extremely bad thing for Seoul, the southern country of North Korea.
If it were a normal person, he would definitely be a little apprehensive or even afraid.
But when it was Li Yu, he didn't panic at all. Instead, as if something good had happened to him, he stood up and said with a chuckle: "Indeed, General Zhao has been in our North Korea for several years, and it's time to go back and take a look. "
"But who will take over as General Zhao?"
It turned out that Li Yu thought that Zhao Fu was transferred because he was timid in North Korea, did not help Zhengtong win, and had no achievements at all. He was going to be transferred to the capital to be punished.
But if he leaves, Ming Dynasty will definitely send another capable and warm-hearted general to North Korea.
This general is definitely not greedy for money.
Not lewd.
Don't often look at yourself with lustful eyes...
He will definitely be able to lead our army and win victory for the king.
And Zhao Fu, tsk tsk tsk tsk, go and be punished...
Zhao Fu looked at Li Yu's unconcealable joy and understood something in his heart.
"Humph, as far as I know, there is no successor."
After hearing Zhao Fu's words, Li Yu was slightly surprised: "It's impossible without a successor. General Zhao is joking, joking..."
At this juncture, there are no generals from the Ming Dynasty in Seoul. Isn't the army just a way for the Ming Dynasty to show its attitude?
Only then did Li Yu think of the terrible result.
Ming Dynasty abandoned orthodoxy and wanted to support Pyongyang rebels.
Li Yu's mood was like a roller coaster. Sometimes she was excited at the peak, and sometimes she fell into the trough of melancholy.
Zhao Fu was trying to scare Li Yu, but if Li Yu didn't take good care of him, he really dared to write a letter and leave North Korea.
At that moment, Li Yu hurriedly said: "General Zhao, you don't dare. We are orthodox. I also have a deep relationship with the censor of Xudu. The Ming Dynasty cannot give up on our Seoul..."
Li Yu looked a little panicked.
Zhao Fu was satisfied.
He smiled and said: "Your Majesty asked me if I had any plans to return to the capital. The general asked me if there was a replacement. But your Majesty said that there was no suitable candidate. After I left, I stopped interfering with matters in Seoul." …”
Li Yu's face changed greatly, and then he said calmly: "His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is also seeking General Zhao's opinion. It seems that General Zhao has a very important importance in His Majesty the Emperor's heart. General Zhao, isn't it fun here? Don't I’m leaving. Isn’t it too late to leave when a suitable candidate is available?”
"I understand the problem of doing it with your hands. I understand everything. I will arrange it when I get home..."
Hearing what Li Yu said, a smile immediately appeared on Zhao Fu's face. This little stick really remembers eating but not beating.
Zhao Fu had accumulated a large fortune in North Korea in the past few years. After returning to the Ming Dynasty, he dedicated it to the court to establish his own image of greatness and spread his official reputation far and wide...
"General Zhao, tell us what you think, so that I can report it to the king after I go back. No matter what, the king is determined to regain his homeland."
Zhao Fu nodded and then said: "Jincheng Jun is sensible, and I don't hide my secrets, but what I say next may not be what Jincheng Jun wants to hear, but it is a fact, and it is a fact that is difficult to change. "
Li Yu Danfeng stared at Zhao Fu closely, waiting for his next words.
"If what I, the general, think is true, your country's ruler will never have the chance to take back Pyongyang in this lifetime?"
"Why?"
"Because according to what you said, Pyongyang has deep ties with the Liaoping Prefecture, which proves that even if Shi Heng is transferred, the successor Liaodong Commander-in-Chief will not let Pyongyang be destroyed by the South Korean Kingdom."
"This shouldn't be the case. We can also send people to Liaoping Mansion..."
"Although you can bring gold and silver and send people to Liaoping Mansion to bribe Shi Heng, you can't send people to help Shi Heng build the city. As a general sent abroad, pragmatism is the most important thing."
"The real situation now is that the relationship between Pyongyang and Liaoping City is getting better and better, and the most important thing is that you do not have the strength to defeat the Pyongyang rebels. You have been delaying it for several years. Before, Shi Heng was afraid of the court's questioning. We are responsible for this, so we have been restraining the rebels in Pyongyang and preventing them from going south."
"Do you still remember, two years ago, during the Northern Expedition, the vanguard of more than 20,000 troops was ambushed and returned in defeat. The 80,000 troops in the rear retreated immediately like frightened birds. At that time, they were absolutely invincible to the rebels in Pyongyang. It was a great opportunity, but they didn't take advantage of the victory and pursue it at all, just because the Ming army was restraining them from behind."
"Now the court is becoming more and more disappointed with you, otherwise His Majesty would not have specifically asked this general if he wanted to return to the capital. But Shi Heng has been repeatedly praised for his speed in building the city and the tranquility of Liaoping Mansion. Although this general People who are not in the capital have heard that Shi Heng has poems and essays given by His Majesty the Ming Emperor, which also reveals something..."
"What's going on?" Li Yu became more and more frightened as he listened.
"If you attack again and fail, Seoul may not be safe, and your king's life may not be safe..."
"General Zhao, didn't you say that Shi Heng was restraining the Pyongyang rebels from going south?" Li Yu was completely panicked.
"Yes, but if they don't restrain themselves, half of North Korea can provide so much help to Shi Heng. If Shi Heng helps the King of Pyongyang take over Seoul and integrate the national and people's power of the entire North Korea, will it help him even more... ..." Zhao Fu said slowly.
And Li Yu's face was dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking?
Although he didn't understand everything, he knew that the consequences would be serious.
But at this time, Zhao Fu was satisfied, and what Zhao Fu said was also the worry in his heart.
Whether Seoul can be saved or not is not important to him.
What matters is who took it.
If Shi Heng had received His Majesty's order to go south during the battle between Pyongyang and Seoul, then the military merit would have fallen to Shi Heng again, and it would not have been of any benefit to him.
So for Zhao Fu, it is better to be still than to move.
Zhao Fu thought about it and saw Li Yu's hands, they were so damn smooth.
"Um, Jincheng-kun..."
Li Yu glanced at Zhao Fu.
"Let me touch your hand, General..."
