Chapter 3 Chaos (Part 2)

chaos

When Goryeo heard that it had lost Liaodong, the whole country was shocked. The former general Cui Hao worked hard for eight years, but in the end he could not help but die. How could a group of civil and military officials dare to speak of war? They all joined the masters. However, Cui was a prominent family in Goryeo and was in harmony with the powerful prime minister Li Renren for many years. The benevolent people wanted to avenge Cui Hao and ordered the army of Cui Ying and Li Chenggui to raise troops to fight for Liaodong. Goryeo King Yu was established by the benevolent people, and all the government orders came from the Li and Cui clans. In the court, Yu Zhi nodded and was alone in everything the two clans said.

In March, the Battle of Andong Sea, the Goryeo Navy was completely destroyed. Chenggui was unable to cross the west and stationed 200,000 troops on the side of the Yalu River. Seeing that there were too few soldiers on his side, the prince Zhu Biao ordered Cao Zhen to lead the navy to block the river surface to prevent Goryeo from sending troops to attack. On the other hand, he sent people to urgently dispatch the Northern Army to reinforce Andong.

The Yalu River was called Mali River in ancient times. In spring, the river water was as green as a duck's head. Therefore, it came from the Li Tang Dynasty and was called Yalu River. The river water originated from the eternal ice of Changbai Mountain, flowing thousands of miles, splitting mountains and cracking stones, and entering the sea in Andong.

In July of the 13th year of Hongwu, thousands of ships gathered in Andong Port. Although the military flags of the Goryeo people on the other side of the Yalu River were clearly visible, the merchants still transported the food and supplies to the front line with great fanfare. Since the naval battle destroyed the Goryeo Navy, from the East China Sea to the Bohai Sea, thousands of miles along the way, and the journey was safe. In the rear, Liu Bingming adopted Chen Bin's suggestion and entrusted all the supplies to merchants for shipping. After the merchants delivered to Andong, they could get the silver notes of Xu Jibiao as a reward. In this way, the loss on the road was greatly reduced. The freight provided by the navy was fair, and the spoils shared by the soldiers in Andong could be bought at a low price, and the soldiers could also bring letters home. As soon as they went there, the merchants made a lot of profits. In the Liaodong, the fur and medicinal materials of the locals also went to Andong to sell them. Therefore, hundreds of merchant ships of all sizes and sizes were sent to Andong every day.

The Ming Navy's ships were strong and cannons were strong. It patrolled the Yalu River every day. Although the Yalu River was long, the upper reaches were high mountains and steep. It was possible to steal a few people. The army had nowhere to cross. The lower reaches were blocked by the Ming warships. Li Chenggui led an army of 200,000 and could only sigh at the river.

In May, Cheng Gui hired five hundred Japanese people at a high cost and sneaked into the river at night to set fire to the other side. Before he could approach the water camp, he was found. Rows of muskets were shot down. All five hundred Japanese people made snacks of fish and shrimps in the river, and there were not even those who went back to report the news. Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jinghai, was so angry that he brought more than ten warships to bombard the Koryo camp on the other side, killing countless soldiers. Cheng Gui saw the powerful artillery of the Ming army and retreated ten miles. After that, the Goryo people did not dare to attack, but refused to make peace. They dug trenches deep on their side every day to avoid artillery and dig thousands of acres of fertile fields like spiders. The King of Yan led the Northern Army to come. Seeing this, he knew that it was not possible to attack. He ordered the city to be repaired and to work with the generals to think about the strategy of defeating the enemy. For a moment, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait were in peace.

"Li Chenggui is a genius." Wu Anguo stood on Huer Mountain and looked at the other side with a telescope. He secretly admired it. Only this method could offset the advantages of firearms. The opposite trenches were crisscrossed, and Goryeo soldiers moved back and forth in the trenches like gophers. Every distance, or at the intersection of the trenches, there were stone fortresses slightly higher than the ground, round and round, like a turtle shell. There were arrow holes outside the turtle shell, and there must be long-range weapons such as crossbows.

"He was not fighting for Liaodong like this. It was clearly a way to defend himself. He was living here with us. We had less than half a year and could not cross this barrier." Zhu Di replied next to him. Huer Mountain is the commanding height on the riverside, and the starting point of Qin Great Wall is here. Cao Zhen built a fortress here, and the muzzle could directly block the river surface.

"I don't think it will be possible to take it down for half a year. The firepower advantage of our army has been almost offset." Looking forward to the prospects, Xu Zengshou, who has always been optimistic, is no longer optimistic. "When we fire the cannon, the Koreans will drill into the mouse hole. When our soldiers go up, they will drill out again. As long as we don't show their heads, our muskets will have no choice but to fight with them. Although our armor is strong, the number of people is too different. Moreover, the crossbow arrows in the turtle shell will also cause us great damage."

"The key is that the cavalry can't rush up, and the trenches blocked the horses. The more time we were delayed on the road, the greater the casualties. This boy named Li is so smart that it will be difficult to break the rat and turtle formation unless we use shells to pass the ground pears," Chang Mao said angrily, his words were full of contempt for the generals of Goryeo.

"We don't have so many shells. I think the best way to do this is to prepare more tanks and grenades. The soldiers push the tank forward, and the opponent's crossbow arrows can't penetrate the tank. When they get closer, they throw the grenades into the bunker and blow up the bunkers, and fight one by one. There is a great chance of winning." Wang Hao suggested on the side.

"There is still a problem. At most, the first trench is broken. It is difficult for the chariot to pass through such a wide trench. The trench behind is useless. We can only let our soldiers enter the trench and kill forward along the trench. I am afraid that Li Chenggui has made a lot of thought in the trench. If we enter the trench, we may not be able to get it." Veteran General Tang He has been with Zhu Di these days and has gradually become accustomed to the way of mutual reminder discussions of the Zhenbei Army. Although this method is a bit inseparable from the high and low and the decision is slow, the benefits are still very obvious. At least the loopholes in the combat plan are easily discovered in advance and will not be regretted on the battlefield. The sand tables made by the combat staff of the Zhenbei Army have also opened the eyes of the veteran general. Cao Zhen has also done this thing, but after all, no one is authentic. These staff members perform their duties and provide various information on the battlefield, saving the commander's great strength.

"What we can't get on the battlefield may not be able to get it in other ways. The Liaodong we have already obtained may not dare to take it back depending on the situation. Now they are only forced to send troops under the pressure of the Cui family to avenge Cui Hao. Li Chengguili's formation clearly does not want to attack. But now they cannot force them to negotiate peace, otherwise, if Mr. Zhu Er is sent, with his fair share of shame, it is probably not a problem to persuade Goryeo to surrender again." The one-armed general Shao Yunfei considered

After a long time, I went forward to make suggestions. As summer came, the disadvantages of firearms became obvious. The sufficient rain made the fire gradually become tide. The bullets and shells wrapped in oil cloth were not bad. The grenades used by infantry were the most affected. The grenades needed to use fire to ignite the outside twists before they could be thrown out. When it rained, the fire brokers could not be fired. If the two armies were halfway through the battle, the brothers who rushed up would definitely suffer a great loss. Therefore, it is most cost-effective to win without fighting.

This suggestion is very unique, refreshing everyone, and the topic began to turn to the forced peace talks between Goryeo. Cao Zhen thought for a while and said, "It is of course good if the Qu people's soldiers are not fighting, but if the Goryeo people are hurt, maybe they will have an accident one day. Besides, we will settle the score with the Japanese people next. If the Goryeo port can be used, our fleet can directly drive to the Japanese pirates' hometown." As the head coach of the fleet, his eyes were relatively far away. When everyone heard this, they were slightly stunned. It turned out that the navy wanted Jizhou, which was really a bit troublesome. Liaodong has been a Han country since ancient times, and the Goryeo people have no reason to seize it. This Jizhou has never been within the territory. But thinking about it, Goryeo was just a county in the Han Dynasty, and it was impossible to calculate it after receiving it to the Ming Dynasty.

"I think we are too restrictive. Why did Li Chenggui set up a formation for us? We have to break the formation?" Wu Anguo heard Cao Zhen talk about the sea and said with an enlightenment, "So what if it breaks the formation? Goryeo is mountainous. It is too difficult to pull our cannons with horses. When we passed a mountain, the Goryeo probably sent people to set up a second formation. I don't know when this year it will make Goryeo surrender. If we ignore Li Chenggui..."

"Wait!" Tang He shouted, interrupting Wu Anguo's words. Chang Mao and others also realized the key point and rubbed their hands with excitement. "You, what you said was the strategy of Deng Ai entering Shu back then." Tang He looked around, fearing that there would be a wind on the other side, and asked in a low voice.

Wu Anguo nodded and thought to himself, I don’t care how Deng Ai entered Sichuan, I know how the American devils invaded North Korea back then.

The crowd cheered, and Chang Mao pulled Wu Anguo and turned around and left, saying as he walked: "Let's go quickly, let's go to the prince's headquarters and look at the map before, his grandmother's, this time Lao Chang has got the chance to take revenge. These bastards harmed so many brothers of Lao Chang, and this time they are full of evil deeds."

Everyone went down the mountain and went back to the city. When Wu Anguo saw Liu Ling's horse running at the end, he gently pulled the reins of the horse. The thunder understood it and slowed down. Seeing this, Xu Huizu shook his head slightly, rode his horse past Wu Anguo, and whispered: "Brother Wu, this is in front of the formation."

"Isn't it outside the city, and I haven't arrived in the army. Today I was going to have fun." Wu Anguo smiled and replied, continuing to slow down until he walked with Liu Ling.

Xu Zengshou shook his head repeatedly and said to himself: I am "busy" this time, and I don't know how I will be scolded by my father in the future. One of these two people returned from overseas and did not understand etiquette. The other one is lawless, but it is also a pair made by heaven and earth.

Since Wu Anguo recovered from his injury and had a conversation with Liu Ling with the help of Zhang Zhengxin, the two of them would have been together to discuss martial arts together as long as they were not in the military camp for several days. Wu Anguo is a martial arts practitioner and is not superstitious about martial arts. He once said that if martial arts really work as well as written in "The Legend of Tang", the Mongols would not have been able to enter the Central Plains. This time, he found an excuse to practice martial arts and was close to Liu Ling. He was not serious about martial arts advice, but the strange and strange arguments in his mind were unheard of Liu Ling. Liu Ling's laughter these days was more than in the past ten years. Gradually, the two of them had a disconnect from martial arts, and gradually, they began to be inseparable. Xu Zengshou repeatedly reminded Wu Anguo to pay attention that Wu Anguo always said, "We did not violate military law and did not hurt others."

Responding. He kindly told him that what the Ming Dynasty wanted was the order of his parents, and the matchmaker said, Wu'anguo said again, "We are all fatherless people, and we can't be a matchmaker for ourselves." There have always been many fallacies in Wu'anguo. This time, men and women are happy together. The ancients did not oppose choosing a partner freely, otherwise there would not be so many passionate poems in the Book of Songs. If the sentence "The most evil, I want to know you" is a man who asks the beauty to talk about his ambition, then the ancients must have all had the habit of breaking their sleeves. Such all these were so angry that Xu Zengshou's nose was almost crooked to his ears. Liu Ling was also an outgoing girl. At this time, he always looked at his brother's jokes, which made Xu Zengshou regretted his intestines blue. In the end, he simply ignored him and was clean.

"Have you thought of a plan to defeat the enemy long ago?" Seeing everyone walking away, the two of them turned over and dismounted. Liu Ling whispered to Wu Anguo, and now the two of them talked almost nothing.

Wu Anguo smiled, looked at Liu Ling lovingly, nodded and admitted, and reached out to smooth out the messy hair on Liu Ling's forehead. In another world, he had lost a lover, and in this world, he knew how to cherish it even more.

"Then why didn't you say it earlier and insist on everyone discussing for a long time?"

"Have you read the newly written "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by Luo Guanzhong in Peking, but did you?" Wu Anguo answered the question that he was not right.

"I have seen it, it's really absurd. I didn't even figure out the geographical location of a single cavalry for thousands of miles. The whole thing was the opposite. The war between the two armies became a single fight between military generals. What's the use of soldiers? The miserable thing was Zhang Fei. He was originally a white horse general, and he wrote a black man. Also, the same name as you, Wu'anguo, was cut off by Lu Bu. You were so sad that you had enough in your previous life." Liu Ling made a face at Wu'anguo and joked. "But what does this have to do with your actions today?"

"Then do you know that there is a great sage like Zhuge Liang in Shu. Why was it the weakest in the end and easily annexed by someone?" Wu Anguo saw Liu Ling's face and wanted to shave her nose. He endured it and cared about the etiquette of this dynasty for a long time and did not reach out.

"I don't know, the fact that there is no one in Shu Kingdom later is one reason." Liu Ling stopped joking and said seriously.

"I think Zhuge Liang is too powerful and knows everything. As a result, others are used to not thinking about problems when they encounter problems. In the end, Zhuge Liang died and the habits of Shu Kingdom could not be changed. Although the other two countries are not so outstanding, each of them has their own solutions."

"You mean you deliberately asked everyone to think of more ways to avoid being in the army in the future and no one will fill this vacancy. You are planning to be not in the army in the future. Where are you going?" Liu Lingling was clear and instantly understood what Wu Anguo meant, and immediately cared about where he was going.

"Where I go, I hope you will have you around me," Wu Anguo looked at Liu Ling's eyes and said seriously. "From the national strength, Goryeo is not an opponent of the Ming Dynasty. It is a matter of time before defeating Goryeo. However, after defeating Goryeo, we must use troops to other places. In this battle in Liaodong, the Mongols secretly helped Goryeo. When we free up our hands, a battle with the Mongols will inevitably be inevitable. At that time, we will definitely have a division of troops. How could I have me in every way?"

Liu Ling was stunned for a moment and immediately understood the meaning of Wu'anguo's first chapter. In the Ming Dynasty, many children of aristocratic families had asked someone to propose marriage to Xu Da, but they were rejected by him. No one had ever touched his heart like Wu'anguo, and no one had expressed it so bluntly like Wu'anguo.

She thought about it, but stopped, and said softly, "You will be a general and a prime minister in the future, so that you can have the opportunity to fulfill your wish." Since her father went there, no one has ever given herself a sense of safety like Wu Anguo. Although they have been together for a short time, she is willing to stay with this big guy. However, the so much love now makes her feel a little worried. Forget it, don't think about what has not happened.

When Wu Anguo saw Liu Ling suddenly thought about something, he thought she was considering her future development and laughed: "My little bit of weight may be better off away from the court. If you really want to go to court every day, you will be depressed and depressed."

Liu Ling was infected by his emotions and smiled gently. Wu Anguo's eyes were shaken. At this moment, even the sunlight was a little dim.

"An Guo, I listened to your conversation on the boat that day. I am very sorry, I shouldn't have followed you. I don't understand what you said very well, but I know that if it were really like you said, my father wouldn't have ended in hatred so early, so since then, I, me," Liu Ling's voice became smaller and smaller, so small that it was almost unheard. "I just thought, I must help you until you fulfill your wish."

"What, what do you say?" Such a small voice was like hearing fairy music in Wu'anguo's ears, and a bright smile bloomed on his face. He reached out, reached out to the horse, and grabbed Liu Ling's little hand.

Liu Ling thrust, but before he could pull it out, a red glow flew out on his face and let Wu Anguo hold it. Strangely, it was obviously a frivolous act, but why was he so peaceful in his heart?

"I don't want to be a saint, and I don't have the ability to do that." Wu'anguo looked at the green reeds in the distance and said loudly to Liu Ling. Under the sun, strings of water droplets spewed out from the reed leaves, dressing the world like a fairyland. "The words of all schools of thoughts represent the thoughts of a group of people. If this dynasty accepts my point of view, a large number of people must first have the same ideas as me, or this view is beneficial to a large number of people." He held Liu Ling's hand tightly, as if holding the whole world, "When you go directly to the holy listening and show your grand ambitions, it is just the wishful thinking of a nerd. This country is not a piece of blank paper, you can draw whatever you want. If you want to make this country equal, you must first let people have equal requirements, otherwise, the things you impose on others may not like. So I think I can achieve my wish in the north than in the court."

Wu Anguo does not expect Liu Ling to understand, but he knows that no matter what he does in the future, he will always have a pair of warm eyes to pay attention to.

"I know," Liu Ling gently shook his hand, and was connected with Wu'anguo's big hand. You mean: "To achieve your goal, you must go from bottom to top, no, from the people to the court. On the contrary, it will make things worse. In fact, when I was a child, my father told me that the great saints encountered walls everywhere in those days because no one needed his theories and could not be sold. In the Han Dynasty, they unified the world, and the saints' theories became more useful, so they became popular. Later, Dong Zhongshu deleted and modified them again, and just selected the Han emperors to sell them, but they sold them at a good price, but changed the saints' theory beyond recognition."

"What", Wu Anguo was surprised this time. Unexpectedly, Liu Bowen hundreds of years ago looked at the problem more thoroughly than many modern people. "A theoretical idea will inevitably represent a certain class's interests. Only when this class develops and grows can this theory be promoted and implemented. Isn't that what it means? Liu Bowen is really a strange person, but unfortunately, strange people may not be tolerated by the court.

Liu Ling was surprised that Wu Anguo could understand his words and felt a little proud in his heart, "My father also told such a story. Someone went to Lingnan to do business with the Miao people. Seeing that there were many thorns on the mountain, he kindly sold the Miao people's boots. As the Miao people were beaten as a liar, because the Miao people never wear shoes, and his kindness was not rewarded."

"Yes, that's the truth." Wu Anguo couldn't help but admire his elders whom he had never met before, and also secretly thanked God. Liu Ling, who grew up under Liu Bowen's thinking, obviously understood what he did more easily than others. This feeling of knowing each other made him feel particularly comfortable.

"So, Anguo", Liu Ling looked at Wu Anguo and said seriously and clearly that there was no longer the shyness of his young daughter: "You must protect yourself well. You are kind-hearted, but you must wait for your kindness to be recognized by others. Don't be the one who sells shoes, you not only have your own goals, but you are also me in this world."

A warm current rose from Wu'anguo's heart, and this long-lost warmth reached the corner of his eyes. Holding Liu Ling's hand, Wu'anguo didn't know how to express his inner touch. After a while, he nodded vigorously, "Well, I know, I will be extra careful, because I have already held your hand today."

‘Hold your hand and be with you’, Liu Ling gently held Wu'anguo, and Andongcheng was right in front of him, but at this moment, I really hope it will last forever.
