An encrypted letter, together with enough food to feed a thousand people for three months, was quietly transported from the Tianjin Wei pier to Liaodong along the Bohai Sea.
After doing all this, Chen Kan continued to sit in the study and meditate.
Although the North Korean envoy was temporarily deceived into staying in Beijing, the delay could only be a few days.
If the reinforcements from Nanjing are delayed, he will not be able to explain to Li Yao.
It seems that we must find a way to attract the attention of other countries. It is best to make them ignore what is happening in North Korea and instead focus on Ming Dynasty.
After pondering for a long time, Chen Kan had an idea in his mind.
If the Ming Dynasty itself has too much time to take care of itself, then even if the Ming Dynasty cannot help its vassal countries, it can still silence the world.
Therefore, Chen Kan prepared to let the three guards of Uliangha and Oarabu Mahamu cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to put on a big show.
Yes, Chen Kan was ready to follow Zhu Di's example and take the initiative to lure Arutai to invade the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di had already used this trick as early as when he came to Peiping.
Every time he returned to Nanjing to report on his duties, there were always civil servants who saw clearly the shortcomings of the vassal king and wanted him to stay in Nanjing. At this time, news of the Tatar invasion would be sent to Nanjing.
Therefore, Zhu Di was not only able to successfully escape from Nanjing and return to Beijing every time, but he could also take this opportunity to prepare for himself by recruiting troops and food.
Didn't Arutai say harsh words to Zhu Di, saying that if Zhu Di couldn't manage the three guards of Wuliangha, he would give Ming a lesson he would never forget, even if he was fighting for the position of Grand Master?
Chen Kan decided to give him this opportunity.
However, Chen Kan did not intend to stage such a big drama in the Ming Dynasty. He decided to take the initiative and choose the battlefield on the grassland.
After making a plan in his mind, he left the Hou Mansion with a letter and headed towards the Xilamulun River grassland where the three Wu Liangha were.
A little later, Chen Kan went straight out to the Sanqianying training ground.
Since Li Yao was talking about being busy with military affairs, he should show some signs of being busy with military affairs.
As a result, Chen Kan lived a life of two o'clock and one line in the military camp and the Hou Mansion.
He would hang out in the military camp at dawn every day and not go home until dark, in order to avoid meeting Li Yao as much as possible.
Finally, after more than ten days like this, Li Yao became a little anxious.
He knew that Chen Kan came back from the military camp very late every day, so he deliberately stood at the door to block him at night.
When Chen Kan returned home with a face full of exhaustion and saw Li Yao standing at the door like a doorman, he immediately greeted him with guilt.
"Your Majesty, why don't you sit quietly in the palace?"
Li Yao came forward and cupped his hands and said: "Master Marquis, the people of my country are being tortured by the Jurchen barbarians, how can I sit still?"
Chen Kan nodded to express his understanding, and then said with relief: "Your Majesty, please be patient. My urgent report should have arrived in Nanjing by now. I believe there will be a reply soon."
Hearing this, Li Yao's face hesitated, and after a moment, he cupped his hands and said: "Master Marquis, I really can't wait any longer. I wonder if Master Marquis can arrange a fast boat to take me to Nanjing? "
As soon as these words came out, Chen Kan immediately frowned and asked, "The prince is unwilling to settle down in my palace, but why is there such a lack of hospitality in my palace?"
After saying that, Chen Kan shouted loudly: "Yuncheng, Yuncheng..."
"No...I...subordinate."
Just when Li Yao wanted to deny it, Yun Cheng, who had been summoned, quickly appeared in front of the two of them.
Before he could salute the two of them, Chen Kan scolded Yuncheng.
"I have long said that His Royal Highness is the most distinguished guest of our residence, and even more so the Ming Dynasty. Do you want to die if you are such a naughty slave who dares to deceive this guest?"
Yuncheng looked confused. He couldn't understand why he was being punished for just showing up.
When it comes to entertaining guests, he has never neglected the prince of North Korea these days.
There was a look of grievance on Yun Cheng's face, and just as he was about to say a few words of defense, Chen Kan's reprimanding voice came again: "In the future, when you see the prince, you will be like me. If you dare to neglect your distinguished guest again, don't blame me." This prince is cruel and ruthless."
Li Yao hesitated to speak, but Chen Kan's scolding was so intensive that for a while he couldn't find a chance to interrupt.
Chen Kan did not give him this chance. He took Li Yao and walked into the mansion. He said seriously: "Your Highness, why should you be anxious? With this urgent report from me and the letter of credence written by the king, your majesty will definitely pay attention to it." this matter.
Even if you go to Nanjing in person, it is just a trip in vain. You might as well stay in the Marquis Mansion and take this opportunity to recharge your batteries. When the army arrives in Beijing, you can lead the troops back to save Korea. Wouldn't it be better if the people were in water and fire? "
Chen Kan's words were sincere, and Li Yao's various reasons and hesitations were blocked in his throat.
Li Yao's face was full of embarrassment. Speaking of this, if he raised any objection, it would be that he really looked down on the Jinghai Marquis Mansion.
But the anxious feeling in his heart burned him at any time, making it difficult for him to eat well and sleep well during his time in the Hou Mansion.
Tangled, too tangled.
Seeing that there was still hesitation on his face, Chen Kan immediately ordered: "Come here, have a banquet!"
Li Yao was so entangled, so Chen Kan had no choice but to get him drunk.
I hope he realizes his good intentions after getting drunk.
He stayed in Beijing, at least he still had some hope.
But if he went to Nanjing and learned that Ming Dynasty would not send troops at all, then even his last glimmer of hope would be shattered.
Chen Kan did this for his own good.
During the banquet, whenever Li Yao mentioned any idea of going to Nanjing, Chen Kan would push him away with his warm attitude and sincere words.
As a result, Li Yao got drunk as expected.
This time of drunkenness was different from the last time. Last time, after three glasses of wine, Li Yao fell asleep directly on the table.
But this time, Li Yao went crazy at the dinner table for a long time.
First, he cried and expressed his concerns about his country, and then thanked Chen Kan and Daming for his willingness to lend a helping hand.
The first words are quite normal, but later on the style of painting gradually goes awry.
First he laughed and said that he was the crown prince of North Korea, and his status in North Korea was unshakable. Then he accused him angrily of favoring his younger son, which made his eldest son look down upon in the country.
Now, when North Korea's life and death are at stake, the important task of asking for help from the Ming Dynasty has been placed on him, but the younger son who is loved by his father does not have to do anything.
In the end, he cursed his younger brother named Li Qi for half an hour, and finally fell into the plate unwillingly.
In the whole scene, the only thing Chen Kan could do was to follow his words and agree with him.
Now that he was finally drunk, Chen Kan's expression calmed down instantly.
Chen Kan naturally knew about the Li Qi mentioned by Li Yao. In later generations, this Li Qi was touted by stickmen as the greatest monarch in Korean history.
Emperor Sejong of the Joseon Dynasty, Li Ji, was blown up to heaven with a stick in later generations, but he was actually a leak-picking king.
Because above him, there are two older brothers, one is the current crown prince Li Yao, and the other is Li Yao who became the crown prince after Li Yao's death.
Originally, the throne could not be passed to Li Yi, but his two elder brothers were both short-lived and could not survive Li Fangyuan.
However, with Chen Kan in this time and space, there will no longer be King Sejong Li Qi in history, but only Li Qi, the prince who has perished.
He ordered his servants to drag Li Yao back to his room, and Chen Kan also went to bed early.
After such a long time, the drama on the grassland is about to begin, and he, the protagonist, cannot be absent.
So, early the next morning, Li Yao, who had just sobered up, found that the entire Hou Mansion was starting to get busy.
Seeing the hurried expressions of the servants in the Hou Mansion, with panic on their faces, and the servants who would prepare breakfast for him as soon as he woke up in the past were not there, Li Yao had no choice but to walk out of the front yard and grabbed a Hou. The servants asked: "What happened? Why is the house so busy?"
The servant was about to get angry, but when he saw that the person holding him was the Crown Prince of Korea, he explained in a low voice: "I don't know, the Crown Prince, but the Tatars on the grassland have invaded, and the servant is preparing the necessary supplies for the Marquis to go on an expedition." Where are the supplies.”
With a casual explanation, the servant left in a hurry.
Li Yao was a little dazed. After a moment, he finished digesting the news and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "The Tatars have invaded?"
Then his face suddenly changed, and the color drained from his face in an instant.
He suddenly realized that he was in Ming Dynasty now, not North Korea.
If the Tatars invade the border, doesn't it mean that the Ming Dynasty has to deal with the Tatars first and can't spare the energy to take care of North Korea's affairs?
Thinking of this result, Li Yao suddenly seemed to have lost all her strength and couldn't help but sit on the ground.
"How could that happen? How could that happen?"
Li Yao was extremely panicked, but she couldn't help but become confused in just a moment.
Terrified, he stood up desperately and ran towards the backyard.
"Where is the Marquis? Where is the Marquis? I want to see the Marquis."
At the moon gate between the atrium and the backyard, Yuncheng stopped Li Yao.
Li Yao seemed to be crazy and shouted: "Get out of the way, I want to see the Marquis!"
Yun Cheng shook his head: "Your Highness, the backyard is where the female relatives of the Hou Mansion live. You can't go in. In addition, the Marquis is no longer in the mansion at this time, but has gone to the army to prepare for the expedition."
As soon as he heard that Chen Kan was in the military camp, Li Rang turned around and ran outside, but after taking a few steps, he looked back and shouted: "Give me a horse, and I want a fast horse."
Yuncheng said: "Your Highness, the Marquis told the old slave to take good care of you when he left. In addition, the Marquis also said, let me tell you that you don't need to go to him. He will come back after handling the things on the grassland. .”
"No, saddle me with a horse, hurry up!"
Yun Cheng continued to say earnestly: "Even if you go now, you won't be able to see the Marquis. The Marquis received the urgent report last night, and the army has already set off."
Li Yao shouted hoarsely: "Bring me a horse!"
