Chapter 120 Good News Arrives in Beijing
"Then how should I explain to Taiko? Taiko sent a letter a few days ago to ask for news about Konishi Governor and Kato Kiyomasa. These two are both Taiko's confidantes. What will Taiko think if he can't ask them? We How should I deal with it?!"

For Ishida Mitsunari's statement, Masuda Changsheng questioned it.

"That's what we have to consider! All in all, we can't let Taige know the real situation now. Once Taige knows, according to Taige's temperament, do you think he will send more reinforcements or even go to North Korea himself? If he Here we come, what supplies are we going to get? Another [-] troops, can we have enough food to eat? And we don’t even know how many Ming troops are on the opposite side! We lost three consecutive battles and lost half of North Korea, What do you want us to do?!"

"No! Taiko must not be allowed to bring the reserve team to North Korea, then Japan will be finished!"

Kato Koyasu frowned and said: "There are a lot of Dongguo daimyos who surrender in name, but in fact there are very few who surrender. Once the Taiko over-squeezes them, they will definitely be dissatisfied! That fellow Tokugawa must be the first to object! That When there is no chaos in North Korea, there will be chaos in the country. If there is chaos in the country, what do we eat? We will starve to death here!
These days we should also know that North Koreans are poor, and there is not much food for us to eat at all. Our own food is only enough. Now that there are two less legions, our pressure has been reduced a lot. In comparison, The battle line of the Ming army has moved here, and the delay in launching an attack should be the reason why the food has not yet been in place.

Once the Ming army's food is in place, it will definitely launch an attack immediately. We must strengthen the defense line during this period of time. We can defend as long as we can, and consume the Ming army's food. As long as we can support enough time, even if we pay more troops If the Ming army's food reserves are exhausted, we will be able to achieve phased victories. If it is not possible, we can pretend to seek peace, negotiate peace, buy time, and use various methods if we can. Anyway, Seoul must not be thrown away, otherwise we will We are going back to Busan! "

"That's right! I support Kato's opinion! Jeolla Province and Yi Sun-shin's navy are threatening us. If we lose Seoul and have to retreat to Busan, then there is no point in our attacking North Korea with so many troops and sacrifices." It’s too late, it’s better to retreat immediately! Then we can keep our vitality!”

"Right!"

"agree."

"So be it?"

Seeing that a group of elders agreed, Ukita Hide’s family naturally had no better way, so he followed suit, but there was a thorn in his heart—Xiao Ruxun, the leader of the Ming army on the other side, heard that he was only 23 years old. He was three years old, but he was already the chief general of the Ming army. He led the entire army to three consecutive victories and defeated the Japanese army, which he was the nominal commander of. This made him feel very humiliated.

If the other party was thirty or forty, the Ukita Hide family would not have any ideas, but the other party was only 23, not much older than himself. At the same age, he would be the nominal commander, and Xiao Ruxun was the actual commander. Victory, why is the gap so big?Am I inferior to Xiao Ruxun?

This kind of thought cannot be eliminated from the very beginning, and the thought in Ukita Hideka's heart is getting stronger and stronger, and it is almost impossible to suppress it.

Tomorrow, when the two sides confront each other across the Linjin River, the Ming Dynasty finally got the battle report from Song Yingchang from Liaodong, which detailed a series of things that Xiao Ruxun did after arriving in Liaodong. Only then will everyone know why Xiao Ruxun was dragged to Wanli On October 20, [-], he led his troops into battle.

When Xiao Ruxun arrived in North Korea, he found that the situation in North Korea was so chaotic that it was almost unbearable. The roads were broken and the military stations were deserted. It was impossible to pass the army and save food and grass. The North Koreans even lied that the food could be used by the army for half a year. Pyongyang Kaesong There is still a lot of food for the army to eat, and they try to force the army to march.

As a result, Xiao Ruxun found out that the grain available to the North Koreans could only support the army for a month at most. As a last resort, Song Yingchang transferred [-] shi of grain from the interior as a support.

Then Xiao Ruxun waited for people to cross the river to go to North Korea for field inspections. He was furious and ordered North Korean officials to lead people to build roads and military stations, store food along the way, and vowed not to send troops until the road was repaired. Build roads, otherwise the ground will be full of potholes, not only can't pass heavy objects like artillery, but even soldiers and horses will not be able to pass through.

Until Xiao Ruxun dispatched troops on October [-]th, the North Koreans still had one-fifth of the roads that had not been repaired. Just imagine, if the roads are muddy and unbearable, let alone the army, the North Korean grain transport team will also be unable to make it through. At that time, the army will have to fight hungry. win!

Now Xiao Ruxun has won two consecutive victories, wiped out two Japanese legions, wiped out a total of more than [-] enemies, beheaded more than [-] ranks, captured two of the opponent's main generals alive, defeated Pyongyang and regained two lands, and did his best in one battle. He is preparing to capture Kaesong and confront the Japanese pirates across the Linjin River. As long as Kaesong is conquered, half of Korea will be taken back. Xiao Ruxun is indeed a famous general in ancient times. Song Yingchang suggested that the court reward Xiao Ruxun and the army generously.

Such a brilliant record made many speech officials, including those who opposed Xiao Ruxun's support for Li Rusong, shut up instantly.

Originally, according to the fine tradition of being unreasonable, unreasonable, unreasonable, and cunning, the task of the official is to spread the word. The more ruthless the word, the higher the position and the higher the official position, and he is not afraid of being beaten or killed. It is a perfect remedy. Being beaten up will increase your reputation, and you will get unexpected benefits. Many speech officials are not afraid of death at all, but they are afraid that no one will pay attention.

But such a hard achievement is still a hard achievement that they have made step by step. They couldn't find a reason to complain, which made them very upset. They faced this memorial with a picky attitude, but They also couldn't find a place to spray. Of course they didn't know that there was a place to spray, and they could even kill Xiao Ruxun.

However, Song Yingchang and Liu Huangshang, who were alienated from the literati group, cherished talents and played tricks to save Xiao Ruxun's life. Xiao Ruxun himself had a second plan. As a result, the memorial to Xiao Ruxun's death is in Zhu Yijun's hand.

"Your Majesty, this is the secret document that Xiao Pinglu sent to His Majesty through the secret line of Jin Yiwei."

Zhu Yijun took the melody, opened it, and read it carefully. After reading it for a long time, Zhu Yijun looked up to the sky and sighed: "The imperial court treats civilian officials kindly and uses literature to rule military affairs. In the end, it is a military general who understands my meaning best. "

Zhu Yijun closed the secret book, stared at Luo Sigong and asked: "No one knows this secret book except you, right?"

Luo Sigong nodded: "Except for His Majesty and ministers, no one knows about this secret book."

Zhu Yijun nodded, paused, and said, "If those bastards find out about this, it won't be as simple as losing a good general. Zhang Cheng, don't you always complain to me? Is it inconvenient to be constrained everywhere? I will find a helper for you right now."

Zhang Cheng asked: "I don't know who the helper His Majesty is talking about?"

"Look at this." Zhu Yijun handed the folder in his hand to Zhang Cheng: "I allow you to read it."

"Old servant obeys the order." Zhang Cheng took the memorial tremblingly, opened it and glanced at it, and was shocked.
