In military chess, there is also a saying that the boat capsizes in the gutter.
However, capsizing does not mean that you will drown.
Take Cao Cao for example. Although he was pushed to the ground and rubbed by Zhou Yu in the Battle of Chibi, Cao Aha knew his mistakes and could correct them, and finally escaped without any danger.
Is this the inevitable path?
No, it's about a person's ability to adapt when faced with adversity.
Obviously, Li Hongyu did not possess Cao Cao's superior military qualities. Not only did he fail to respond appropriately, he also failed to display even his most basic commanding abilities.
Under the siege of Goryeo, Dafeng's army gradually began to collapse.
They were dead, wounded, and mourned everywhere. But the so-called mighty and moral teachers were so vulnerable before their eyes.
As the war intensified, the situation began to get out of control.
Wang Zhifan had just succeeded in breaking through the encirclement, but Dafeng's army had a serious mutiny. No matter how the little emperor ordered, the chaos could not be subsided.
All in a mess.
At this time, Li Hongyu finally realized that his ability to control had been completely lost.
What a noble person, now there is no difference at all from a passerby who doesn't like to talk to anyone.
With no choice, he could only watch helplessly as his soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered, without any ability to stop them.
In the end, he only had about 2,000 loyal men with some integrity left under him.
This small number of troops is not enough to fill the gaps in the teeth of the Goryeo army.
ah……
What should I do?
In desperation, the emperor had no choice but to look at his subordinates for help.
At this point, Wang Zhifan suggested that you can find a dangerous place to temporarily defend and wait for the rescue of the Qi family army after gaining trust.
San Dezi, on the other hand, believed that the situation was over now, so it was better to surrender to save oneself.
What both men said makes sense.
Finally, Li Hongyu adopted the suggestion of the Third Eunuch and ordered the troops to put down their weapons in a small place called Tushui Castle and sit on the ground, waiting for the surrender of the Goryeo army.
At this point, the emperor's high-profile personal expedition came to an end.
No one expected that Dafeng Dynasty's conquest of Korea would end with the annihilation of the entire army and the capture of the emperor. This shocked the people who were eating melons and could hardly believe their ears.
Li Hongyu wanted to imitate his father in demonstrating martial arts, but he didn't expect that gray came from black but was weaker than black.
Not only did he fail to shock the world and become famous in history, but he became a rare negative allusion in history.
Since the emperor was captured, Qi Jing, who came to the rescue, had no initiative at all. In order to avoid angering the King of Korea, he had to stop and give up in anger.
As for Qi Dalang, who could not extinguish the fire near by water far away, he could only stare blankly.
Soon, the news spread back to the court of Dafeng Dynasty.
Everyone was shocked!
The emperor was captured, which was a sign that the country had no future!
what to do?
Although all the ministers were anxious, none of them stood up and expressed their opinions.
Among them, Yin Jun was included.
It's not that he doesn't want to talk about it, it's just that he can't talk about it.
In this way, after an hour of stalemate and silence, the court meeting came to an end.
Yin Jun returned home with a very heavy heart, and when he looked up, he saw that Zhou Chunsheng, whom he rarely interacted with, had come to pay him a visit.
Due to Qi Yu's face, he had no choice but to let him into the living room and serve tea.
Zhou Chunsheng saw that Yin Jun's interest was somewhat depressed, so he quickly and tactfully said: "I came here for no other reason. I just got some antelope horns by chance. According to the imperial doctors, this stuff has a miraculous effect on babies' fever."
. Now, I would like to give it to you, Mr. Yin, for possible ceremonial needs."
Etiquette needs?
Oh...I see!
He was implying that the gifts he gave to his nephew Qi Yuchi and niece Qi Yuhuan were not rich enough, and he only issued a dry blank IOU. Frankly speaking, this move did harm his uncle's face.
If you could give such a rare item to your sister, wouldn't it resolve the embarrassment?
Yin Jun didn't shirk it, he happily took it and quickly handed it over in thanks.
After being softened like this, the atmosphere suddenly became much more harmonious, and there was no longer the cold feeling before.
Mr. Yin was in a slightly better mood and began to talk more.
Before the other party could take the initiative to ask, he brought up the topic, "Master Zhou, does he know that our Dafeng Dynasty has encountered an unprecedented political crisis?"

Zhou Chunsheng hurriedly replied: "How could I not hear about such a big thing?" After sighing, he added: "The first priority now must be to plan how to rescue the Holy Emperor..."
"No! You are wrong!" Yin Jun shook his head decisively and denied.
"Don't you think...the imperial court intends to rescue His Majesty?"
"Well... let me put it this way. For Goryeo, the emperor is a talisman in their hands. As long as others are detained there, we in China will not dare to act rashly. How can the King of Goryeo not understand such a superficial truth?
Take this as a lesson to learn that rescuing the Emperor is as difficult as climbing to heaven. Even if you spend money and buy things to redeem him, it probably won't help."
The implication is that this is basically impossible to achieve.
Well, that makes sense.
Take Emperor Jingkang of the Song Dynasty as an example. After they fell into the hands of the enemy, they completely lost their chance to escape.
Even if there are, they will be thrown away as waste after they lose their use value.
Redemption is also unlikely.
Because this matter cannot be solved by money at all. Even if you spend everything you have, you can't really solve it.
Taken together, it is very difficult to save the emperor, so difficult that it is only at the theoretical level.
Oh no, it should be said that it is just a dream.
Seeing that Zhou Chunsheng had some enlightenment, Yin Jun continued: "The ancients said that the sky cannot be without the sun, and the country cannot be without a master. How can we serve the dynasty in a dignified manner, and how can we always be in the darkness?"
At this point, his words stopped abruptly and he did not continue.
Because if you continue talking, some words should not be spoken.
As we all know, the Supreme Emperor had three sons in total, two of whom unfortunately died in infancy due to the turmoil over the crown prince's appointment. It was precisely because of this that Li Hongyu, the least qualified, ascended to the position of Dabao.
He is the only option, there really is no choice.
However, now, even this only option has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and it seems that... we can only seek a 'secondary spare tire'.
Zhou Chunsheng was suddenly startled when he realized something, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Yin, what do you mean...to abolish this emperor and then establish a new king?"
"How...how can you say it out loud?" Yin Jun glared at him, feeling that it was neither an answer nor an answer. This chapter has been completed!
