Chapter 605 The Korean Army in the Cage

Han Shizhong's proposal immediately received widespread support.

Even Qin Hui thought this plan was very clever.

He observed the senior officers of the Liaodong Army present, as well as the King of Qi.

I thought to myself that the strength displayed by the Liaodong Army with Han Shizhong at its core was really impressive.

Zhao Chen has grown significantly here. If Zhao Chen really gets the unanimous support of the Liaodong Army, it will be very dangerous.

Zhao Chen must be transferred from Liaodong as soon as possible.

They did what they said. At the end of August, the Song Army suddenly announced that they had found the trace of the Goryeo King, and sent 20,000 troops to Chunzhou to rescue the Goryeo King and help the Goryeo Kingdom.

On August 28, people outside Kaijing could see a long procession leaving Kaijing and heading east.

The flags covered the sky and the sun, and the momentum was as if a hundred thousand troops were rolling.

The Song Army's military camp, which was originally very lively, suddenly became deserted.

A large number of scouts lurking around Kaijing took action and sent information about Kaijing southward.

On the third day of September, Jin Fushi, who was dormant in Qingzhou, immediately received information about the Song army's attack on Beijing.

Jin Dunzhong hurriedly walked in: "Father! Father!"

"Why are you so panicked?" Jin Fushi asked.

"Father, the latest information came from Kaijing. The main force of the Song Army has left Kaijing."

"Leaving Kaijing?" Jin Fushi became confused, "Withdrawing troops and returning to the state?"

"No, it is said that His Majesty's whereabouts were discovered in Chunzhou."

"This is a trick of the Song Army!" Jin Fushi said immediately.

"What my father means is that the Song Army may have set up a trap to get us to go north."

"It must be so!"

"But my father also ordered people to spread various rumors, including the news that His Majesty was recruiting a large army in Chunzhou. Maybe the Song army believed it."

"The Song army would not be so stupid." Jin Fushi said with a smile, "They want to trick me into sending troops to Beijing, but they underestimate me!"

"But what if the Song army really marched eastward to Chunzhou?"

Jin Fushi's smile froze and he also fell into deep thought.

The reason why a scam is a scam is that it is both false and true. There are many contents in it that are very self-consistent upon first analysis.

Most scams in this world are like this. They take advantage of people's luck and even the smartest people will fall for them.

This is not an intellectual problem, it is human nature.

If the Song army really marched eastward to Chunzhou, then the capital would be really defenseless.

If Kaijing's defenses are really empty, this is the best time to take Kaijing back.

If you miss this village, there won’t be that store.

When we make most decisions, we are unaware of the decision we are making at the moment. Our brain will automatically look for logical and self-consistent points to convince ourselves.

Jin Fushi couldn't help but ask: "What if it's a scam? The risk is too great!"

"The risk is not big. We now have hundreds of thousands of troops, while the Song army only has tens of thousands." Jin Dunzhong said, "And we can send a team of troops to test."

"You are right, send someone to test first."

Just as he said, Jin Fushi immediately mobilized an army. In fact, there were only 7,000 people, but he claimed to the outside world that he had an army of 100,000, marching all the way north, threatening to take back Kaijing.

On the tenth day of September, this group of troops arrived near Kaijing.

The leader of this Goryeo army was Jin Fushi's second son, Jin Dunshi.

This guy was obviously afraid of death, and he refused to do it at first, but Jin Fushi didn't feel comfortable leaving such an important task to anyone else, so he forced his younger son to go to Kaijing.

What did Jin suddenly do when he arrived at the border of Kaijing?

He did nothing, just found a place to station himself, and when nothing happened, he sent people to snatch farmers' food. Then he announced that he had an army of 200,000, as if he was deeply afraid that the Song army would attack.

When the Song army learned that the Goryeo army was really coming, Han Shizhong, who was used to deceiving others on the battlefield, did not immediately send troops, but asked his scouts to investigate repeatedly.

Finally, a fact was confirmed: Ya's did not come with 200,000 troops at all, but at most 10,000.

Hu Yantong said: "Since the opponent has at most 10,000 people, why don't we get rid of them all immediately!"

"No!" Geng said, "The Korean army is not normal. They are obviously here to test. If we eat them, our whereabouts will be exposed."

"Now what?"

Han Shizhong said: "Immediately plant flags on the top of the city, beat drums every day, dispatch 3,000 troops to train outside Kaijing City, and the rest continue to hide."

"Why is this?" Everyone looked at Marshal Han in confusion.

Han Shizhong said: "We must let the enemy think that we are bluffing. Only in this way will the other party really think that the defense in Beijing is empty."

On September 18, Jin Fushi received a letter from Jin Dunshi: The Song army planted flags all over the city and trained troops outside the city every day.

Jin Fushi became confused: Song Jun didn't take action?

On September 23, Jin Fushi received another letter from Jin Dunshi: The Song army was shouting at Kaijing every day to continue training!

On September 24, Jin Fushi received another letter from Chunzhou: the Song army had arrived in Chunzhou and was besieging Chunzhou City.

At this time, Jin Dunzhong stood up and spoke again: "Father, if the Song army takes Chunzhou and finds that Your Majesty is not in Chunzhou, they will immediately withdraw to Kaijing. By then it will be too late for us to send troops!"

Jin Fushi just woke up from a dream, and he was immediately ecstatic: "Send the order, gather all the troops, and send troops north immediately!"

"yes!"

At this time, the elite Jin army mobilized from Liaoyang Prefecture had also arrived at the Yalu River and stationed themselves in the Yalu River.

Moreover, the Jin army secretly sent an envoy to go to the south to find Jin Fushi, asking him not to take action yet and continue to delay the war.

However, Jin Pushi was already enthusiastically marching north with hundreds of thousands of troops.

This was all the troops he could mobilize everywhere after taking Wang Kai hostage.

On September 26, the scouts sent intensive messages to Kaijing, but there was only one core point: the endless Goryeo army was rushing towards Kaijing.

Kim Fu-shi's troops are said to be half a million, but in fact there are not half a million, but there are still two hundred thousand.

In short, all the local troops who usually have nothing to do in the area were forcibly pulled over to make up the numbers.

On September 27, the Goryeo army arrived in Hanyang. Under the auspices of Jin Fushi, Wang Kai announced the crimes of the Song army to the officers and soldiers of the three Goryeo armies, and promised the generals that they would be rewarded heavily for expelling the Song army.

On September 29, the mighty Goryeo army passed through the mountains to the north of Hanyang and entered the hilly areas south of Kaijing.

Looking down from a high altitude, it looks like an endless sea of ​​people rolling across the land.

On September 30th, the people outside Kaijing City received the news that the so-called Master Wang was back.

Jin Fushi originally thought that the common people would line up to greet Master Wang, but the news he heard was that the common people petitioned the Song army to protect them!

This news made the Confucian master furious: "False! Absolutely false! How could the people of our court favor the Song army? It must be Song Gou's trick!"

In any case, the Goryeo army came and arrived outside Kaijing City.

Jin Fushi believed that the time had come to deal with the Song army, so he took Kaijing and set up in-depth defense on the west coast in advance to prevent the Song army that marched eastward to Chunzhou from retreating westward, trapping the Song army.
