Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 375 Lu Xiangsheng's Consideration
Although these words were meant to be scolded, they sounded very pleasant to the ears of these North Korean soldiers.

Many North Korean soldiers immediately nodded and bowed to Li Laiheng, hating themselves for not knowing the official language of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, they must respond loudly.They remembered the name Li Laiheng.

In North Korea, the upper-class people not only know the official Chinese of Ming Dynasty, but also can read and write Chinese characters. It can be said that this is one of the symbols of status.

For ordinary North Koreans, if they often deal with Ming people, they can also speak, but they rarely write.And those who don't often deal with Ming people can only listen to the official language of Ming Dynasty.

In this era, in the vicinity of Daming, the official language of Daming can be said to be the common language, even if you can't speak it, you can listen to it.

It's a bit strange to say that, in this matter just now, Li Laiheng can be said to be very arrogant, unreasonable, and very rude.Logically speaking, this kind of affirmation is unpopular.

However, at this moment, the surrounding North Korean soldiers and the North Korean civilians in line looked at Li Laiheng with awe in their eyes.In other words, they are not only afraid, but also admired.This kind of situation, when they faced Jianlu, absolutely did not exist, but it did happen to the Ming army and Li Laiheng.

Most of the people in Pyongyang City know the origin of the North Korean fat man just now.However, in the eyes of the Ming army, it is not worth mentioning.Being reprimanded by the Ming army and even depriving them of their convoy, this North Korean fat man dared not even fart.Ming Jun put down a word, and the North Korean fat man obediently went back to the end of the line to line up.

This made the Korean soldiers and the Korean people envy the Ming army very much. Many of them began to think that if they were not the youngest Koreans, they would become the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. , Then, will I still be bullied by these nobles?
What happened in the city can be said to be just a small episode of Pyongyang's retreat.For Li Laiheng, the same is true.After doing it, it was quickly forgotten in the back of my mind.However, for North Koreans, it has a great impact.For such a big matter, they would naturally gossip in private, and the matter slowly spread from there.

On the Taedong River, ships of the Ming Army Navy continued to transport the population of Pyongyang.It is naturally impossible to hide such a big movement from Jianlu.Soon, the news was reported to Yuetuo.

"What?" Yue Tuo became anxious when he heard it, and asked quickly, "Ming Jun ran away?"

He had just received an urgent order from Huang Taiji [-] Li, if the Ming army ran away, his head would also be lost.Unexpectedly, just after receiving the order, Tanma sent such a message, he would be surprised if he was not in a hurry!

"Master Belle, I look at the top of the city. The commander-in-chief flag of the Ming army governor is still there. It seems that most of the soldiers transported away by the navy are wounded soldiers and Koreans!" Tan Ma hurriedly reported further.

Regarding this, Yue Tuo did not dare to take it seriously.He didn't dare to keep his strength any longer, so he immediately issued a military order, dispatched all the cavalry, and drove out the Ming army without stopping at night, so as to regain control of the initiative in the field.Anyway, if you persist for a while, the emperor's cavalry will arrive soon.And the army sent to the south is about to have news.

Not only that, Yue Tuo even personally led the cavalry to the Datong River to check the situation of the Ming army navy.

Sure enough, as Tan Ma reported, on the surface of the Datong River, Ming army ships were seen from time to time going down the river.There were many heads on the deck of the ship.From a distance, you can probably see that they are all Korean people, rich and poor.

"Lord Baylor, please look at the waterline of that ship..." Jianlu Tanma knew a thing or two, and immediately reminded Yue Tuo, "I guess there are quite a few in the cabin!"

Yue Tuo nodded when he heard that, and then turned his head to look at the Pyongyang city in the distance. The "Lu" flag was still fluttering in the wind.On the top of the city, there are many heads. Judging from the clothes, there are soldiers from the Ming army and the Korean army.Judging from these signs, Lu Xiangsheng should still be in Pyongyang, which made him a little relieved.

However, this move of the Ming army still made Yue Tuo frown.It is easy to come to the conclusion that the Ming army is going to abandon the city of Pyongyang!

As if to confirm his words, as soon as he thought of this, a scout horse galloped over, quickly rolled off the saddle, and knelt down to report to him: "Master Belle, it seems that the Ming army will not accept you at night. The scout battle has been fully contracted, and we have retreated to the city."

Hearing this, Yue Tuo couldn't help turning his head to look at Pyongyang City in the distance again, his brows were all wrinkled into a word of Sichuan.

Then, he turned around and immediately ordered, at all costs, to rely on Pyongyang City to verify whether Lu Xiangsheng, Governor of the Ming Dynasty, was still in Pyongyang City.

So, following his order, Jianlu's scouting horses and cavalry troops all immediately approached the land city, and even ran towards the water gate, trying to interfere with the transportation of Ming army ships.

On the top of the city, Lu Xiangsheng heard the report and immediately understood Yue Tuo's intention.

With such a small force, they are all cavalry, and they are not attacking the city at all.The reason why he did such useless things regardless of the cavalry casualties must be to verify whether he was still there.

In this regard, Lu Xiangsheng did not disappoint Yue Tuo. He did not show up immediately on the top of the city. He even showed off his magic shooting again and pinned several Jianlu to the ground.

The scarlet scarlet robe, the ability to draw a strong bow, and the precise archery skills, combined with these characteristics, it is definitely Lu Xiangsheng, the Governor of Baoding in the Ming Dynasty, and no one else can pretend to be it.

Seeing it from a distance, Yue Tuo was finally relieved, as long as Lu Xiangsheng didn't leave!If he didn't leave, it meant that the Ming army definitely didn't leave. In this way, he didn't have to lose his head.

After turning his head to look at the Ming ships going down the river, Yue Tuo suddenly laughed happily.

When his personal guard saw him, he was a little puzzled. He was afraid that his master would lose the battle, and he would lose his mind, so he hurriedly asked about the situation worriedly.

I saw Yue Tuo pointed at Pyongyang City with his hand, and said happily: "Ben Bayle is laughing at the governor of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Xiangsheng, as a pedantic person. This Lu Xiangsheng is indeed capable, and I am afraid he understands that Pyongyang City cannot be defended. He wanted to run away! However, he didn't run away immediately, but he wanted to let the North Korean people go first. Only Han people like them can do such a pedantic thing! Now that Ben Baylor knows, no matter how much he pays The price is to make them unable to leave!"

His personal guards laughed loudly when they heard this, and laughed along with their master.

However, some of them have listened to "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" a lot, and they are a little confused. When Uncle Liu Huang withdrew, he seemed to take the people with him. This should be considered a pedantic person, right?However, in the storytelling, he won the hearts of the people, and finally established the Kingdom of Shu!This Lu Xiangsheng also did the same, is it really pedantic?
Of course, he only dared to think in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.

Naturally, Yue Tuo didn't know that there were some of his personal guards who disagreed with him. At this time, he immediately passed down the military order to let the cavalry go down the river to find the narrow place of the Datong River. National ships pass.

Needless to say, the Datong River has not always been very wide, and there are also narrow places.However, Yue Tuo had a little less cavalry in his hands, so he shot with arrows on the shore. Although he could hit the ship, the impact was limited.In the final analysis, they still had too few cavalry to pose a threat to ships on the river.

But soon, good news came for Yue Tuo.

The troops of Doduo and Haug quickly returned to the division from southern Korea, and the cavalry of the troops rushed back to Pyongyang first.

Immediately afterwards, the cavalry army sent by Huang Taiji's main force also rushed to Pyongyang.

Immediately, Jianlu's cavalry was everywhere outside Pyongyang. Just by visual inspection, you can see at least [-] cavalry, and the number of Jianlu's army has an absolute advantage.

In addition to surrounding Pyongyang, these cavalry troops also began to gather in the narrow area of ​​the Datong River. They not only shot arrows, but even shot rockets. It was really like a rain of arrows.It is not so easy for the ships of the Ming army to pass through Jianlu's obstruction.It may be okay for one or two ships to charge hard, but it will be difficult if the scale is large.

At the head of Pyongyang City, Lu Xiangsheng stood there watching the enemy's situation, his expression became very serious.They didn't expect that Jianlu from North Korea returned to Pyongyang, and Jianlu even sent more reinforcements from Liaodong.There are so many cavalry who arrived first, so when the infantry arrives, I don't know how many more!

"I'm still a little contemptuous. I didn't expect Jianlu to attach so much importance to our Ming army!" Lu Xiangsheng looked outside the city and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Judging from the scale of this force, Jianlu estimates that most of the troops in Liaodong will be evacuated. Calculated, there should be at least 2 to [-] troops, and there are less than [-] troops on his side. With less than [-] people, the situation of goshawk fighting rabbit is already very obvious.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help feeling a little more admiration for the slave chief Huang Taiji.You know, in order to wipe out your own part of the Ming army, it takes courage to use so many troops.After all, Jianlu was originally poor in supplies, and the use of a large army would consume a lot of supplies.Moreover, as a slave chieftain, he also had to consider the situation in Liaodong, the Ning Jinming Army and other things, and the decision to use the main force of Jianlu to attack was definitely not something that could be made casually.

"Sir, this means that we have beaten Jianlu to pain!" Li Dingguo, who was following him, responded with a serious face. Then the conversation changed and he quickly advised Lu Xiangsheng, "Sir, the situation is now clear, Jianlu The main force of the captives has been mobilized, and the city of Pyongyang is in danger. Please leave by boat at night."

There are not many navy ships left, and we need to wait until the navy returns.Most of the rest in Pyongyang are soldiers, but they cannot be evacuated, but it is still possible to evacuate Lu Xiangsheng and others.

However, Lu Xiangsheng refused, and he shook his head and said, "As the commander-in-chief of the army, if I leave first, the morale of the army will be disturbed, and Pyongyang will surely fall soon. How can I do it?"

"However, if my lord does not leave, our Ming army will not withdraw. Once the main force of Jianlu arrives, it will be difficult to leave!" Li Dingguo persuaded after hearing this, "If you are not careful, if our Dongjiang army is in Pyongyang City, the whole army will be defeated." If it is destroyed, how will the emperor explain it?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng also had a serious face, but shook his head and said: "I just want to explain to the emperor, so I can't withdraw first. If I lead the Dongjiang army to leave first, the Korean side must be worried." Cold. My Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain of North Korea, absolutely cannot abandon North Korea. Otherwise, I don’t have to lead the army to reinforce Pyongyang. Could it be that I didn’t know the possibility of the current situation before the reinforcements?”

Obviously, Lu Xiangsheng is a civil servant, and his perspective is different from that of Li Dingguo and others.In addition to fighting wars, he also took care of politics.Moreover, Ming rescued North Korea not only because North Korea was a vassal state.To eliminate Jianlu, one must first weaken Jianlu. North Korea is on the east side of Liaodong. If they can firmly stand on Daming's side, then the Dongjiang Army can better restrain Liaodong Jianlu by relying on North Korea.For example, this time, Jianlu tried his best to attack North Korea. This was to restrain Jianlu, so that Jianlu had no time and strength to detour through the Mongolian grassland to invade the pass.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Dingguo, and said in a more relaxed tone: "Actually, Jianlu is not so easy to fight this battle. Pyongyang City was originally a strong city in North Korea. But now, I have withdrawn the wounded soldiers, and withdrew most of the people, but they did not let them take away food, grass and supplies, which are very necessary for defending Pyongyang. The captives paid a heavy price!"

Having said that, he turned back, looked at Jianlu outside the city, and said with emotion: "You are a good thinker in the army, and I have always admired you. I can tell you about the current situation. "

After hearing this, Li Dingguo knew that in Lu Xiangsheng's heart, the war in front of him was like a mirror. He had already expected the possibility of the current situation, so he didn't need to persuade him at all.Moreover, he still has to teach himself now, so Li Dingguo immediately listened carefully.

He heard Lu Xiangsheng tell him: "The best way to deal with the Liaodong Jianqiu is for the Dongjiang Army and Guan Ning Army to attack the Liaodong Jianqi from the east and west together. No matter which side the Liaodong Jianqiu wants to attack, the other side will send troops Support. In this way, the Liaodong Jianlu were in a dilemma and were suppressed by our Ming Dynasty. From a strategic point of view, they had an active advantage. Instead of Guan Ning's army just huddled in the fortified city, it was just the Dongjiang army that attacked!"

Hearing this, Li Dingguo couldn't help but said: "But my lord, the Guan Ning army has never taken the initiative to attack Liaodong. Even if they knew about our Dongjiang army's action, they might not send troops to the hinterland of Liaodong to contain the building." Captives, right? Besides, the generals still have their own rules when they fight wars, so they will definitely guard against the Guan Ning army, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng nodded slightly, then turned his head to look in the direction of the Daming capital.
