The Chinese Army showed self-confidence and prestige, but it confused and fooled the monarchs and ministers of the Li Dynasty.
Only after the middle kingdom became powerful did they know that the other party was so awesome.
They dare to fight against the Middle Earth Dynasty. That's because they have cooperated with the army of the Ming Dynasty. They know that the army of the Ming Dynasty is at this level, so they think that most of the army of Middle Earth is at this level. Even if they fall out with them and fight a few times, they don't have to be afraid.
Who knows, the Chinese empire that destroyed the Ming Dynasty will be so powerful, so powerful, so able to fight, without losing the name of the Empire.
At this moment, King Li Zong regretted that he was going to die and almost wanted to hit the wall, so he didn't have any hesitation. He immediately sent messengers again to express his willingness to hand over the son of God as a hostage, bow to the Chinese Empire and make compensation.
Of course, he refused to admit his guilt.
Although the Chinese Empire pointed out that this was his manipulation and instigation behind the scenes, this was also their main purpose of sending troops, mainly to arrest Li Luo and question him.
But he won't admit his guilt. In his eyes, all the sins are the sins of the ministers and done by his subordinates. As a king, he doesn't know and is concealed by others. Except that he can't hand them over, the other party can hand them over no matter who he wants.
In order to calm the anger of the Chinese Empire, he was willing to hand over anyone, even his son.
This time, the Chinese Empire replied quickly.
However, he still refused his explanation. The Chinese Empire believed that King Li Zong manipulated the matter behind his back. He must be tried and punished.
At this step, Li Luo completely gave up his heart and knew that the other party did not come for the messenger's revenge, but for his Lee's North Korea and for the destruction of his North Korea.
At the moment, with tears streaming down his face, Li Luo said bitterly, "the heart of the Chinese Empire will not die. Only when all the people are united can we defeat the strong enemy."
If it had been in the past, these ministers would have doubted that the reason why the Chinese army sent troops was no longer doubted, that was to destroy them, which aroused their common hatred.
If it had been in the past, these people thought that as long as they handed over some people, bowed their heads, and paid for some property, the Chinese army would naturally retreat, because they could not control and take charge of this place.
But now, the other side is actually unwilling to give up and wants them to surrender King Li before they are willing to withdraw, which makes them realize that the other side's purpose is very impure.
Therefore, the ministers expressed their willingness to go to the national disaster with King Li zongluo and advance and retreat together.
King Li Luo was pleased to see the agreement between the court and the central government. He asked, "do you have any plans to retreat from the enemy? Even if you do, don't hesitate to list the earth to seal the waiting."
Although the ministers were very loud and enthusiastic when they expressed their loyalty, none of them could come up with practical strategies.
Because they all know that hundreds of thousands of troops of the Chinese Empire are pressing on the border to destroy them. It is not easy to repel the enemy.
After a brief silence, someone finally proposed to ask for help from the post Jin State and the Japanese shogunate general.
This minister's head is quite clear. He knows the truth that his lips are cold and his teeth die. If the Li Dynasty is won, it means that Hou Feng of the Chinese Empire points directly at Japan, and behind him is the post attack Golden State. They can't turn a blind eye.
Li Chao and Hou Jin were hostile. In the past, they always called each other JianNu and Hu Lu. Even the battle that invaded them was called Bingzi prisoner rebellion. At this moment, they asked for JianNu and finally called each other Hou Jin. They were ready to send envoys to ask each other for help.
The minister's proposal was approved by all ministers, which was almost the only way for them to get reinforcements. In the past, they could ask for help from Daming in central Turkey.
But now, Daming is over, which means that they have no master and no one will protect them. After their nominal master, the kingdom of Jin can't protect them at all, so they turn to the Japanese for help as a last resort.
These two were their enemies and fought to the death, but they had no choice but to ask them for help in order to keep themselves alive and get help.
After making these two decisions, the North Korean monarchs and officials also issued an imperial edict to the officials, military and people of the eight roads all over the world, ordering them to enter the capital to rescue the king and resist the foreign enemy.
After finishing these actions, the North Korean monarchs and officials did not hesitate, because their softness and financial arrangement were almost the same, and immediately ran to Pyongyang.
They knew that if the Chinese Army calmly cleaned up juehua island and the Southern Han mountain city, they would start here.
The other party's current strategy is obviously aimed at eliminating them, so the other party is not in a hurry at all, nor is it aimed at occupying Seoul. Occupying Seoul will soon end the war, but the other party does not do so.
Under the protection of the Royal Guard, King Li Luo led more than 5000 people and horses to leave Seoul overnight and run towards Pingyang.
Of course, his escape this time, called Beishou, was also a secret operation. However, he dared not tell the people in Seoul that he did not want Seoul and fled North regardless of everyone's life and death. If so, it would cause chaos in the whole city.
Of course, they all know that such news can't be hidden at all, but they hope to buy a few days and spread it when they escape to Pyongyang. Then there will be chaos in the whole city and a headache for others.
Anyway, it is not the first time for them to flee to Pyongyang, but this time is different. This time, he can no longer ask for help from the suzerain state Daming, but from their enemy Houjin state and the Japanese shogunate.
In the past, Daming would not hesitate to send troops to support them, but now the post Jin State and the Japanese shogunate do not know their ideas. Even if they are willing to send troops, it is estimated that the price will not be less, or even they will not be willing to leave. In fact, this is drinking doves to quench their thirst, but there is no way, which is better than dying of thirst now.
Zheng Zhibao and his colleagues met at the Naval Staff Headquarters to study it, and they came to a conclusion. Zheng Zhibao said, "Li Chao must not have the courage to fight to the death with us in Seoul. When they see that the wind is wrong, they immediately put oil on the soles of their feet and flee to Pyongyang. That's their only choice."
Zheng Zhibao's analysis has also been unanimously agreed by others. Not to mention the monarchs and ministers of the Li Dynasty, they are the best way to retreat to Pyongyang in the face of the current dilemma.
Like emperor Chongzhen, there are few emperors who would rather commit suicide than flee. Even many senior generals of the Chinese Empire, his enemy, admire him very much. They think he is a strong emperor with backbone and solar terms, which is worthy of respect.
Although emperor Chongzhen had all kinds of faults, he did not fall behind anyone in terms of integrity.
It is ten thousand times stronger than the man who always calls himself a moral gentleman. Therefore, even if he is the king of a subjugated country, the Chinese Empire does not have much bad comments on him.
The argument set by the Chinese Empire was that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a good emperor, but the ministers around him were not good people. It was because these ministers caused chaos in the government and darkness in the society that led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
They didn't take up the army for the sake of usurping the throne, but for the sake of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, punishing traitors and evil spirits, and returning a bright future to the imperial court.
But emperor Chongzhen didn't understand their original intention and painstakingness. He thought they were rebellious, so he actually killed himself, which made them sigh.
The Chinese Empire openly claimed that if emperor Chongzhen was still alive, they would still give priority to him and continue to serve the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, they all know that this is nonsense. How many people believe it is hard to say? But now they decorate their facade like this, that's what they say.
General Chen Wenruo said, "since we know that the other party has fled, why don't we lay an ambush on the official road and catch them when they get here."
Zheng Zhibao said, "the staff headquarters has this intention, but the above meaning is not to catch them, but to catch them all. Do you understand?"
Chen Wenruo should know that this is only the difference between two words, but the meaning is the difference between heaven and earth. The former is to order the other party to surrender, and the latter is not to accept the other party's surrender and kill all.
Chen Wenruo's eyes flashed cold. He said, "I understand your humble position."
Zheng Zhibao said, "since you understand, you will lead the eighth division to carry out this mission?"
Chen Wenruo immediately received the order and said loudly, "here!" but he also said: "how can you kill a chicken with an ox knife? Just send a regiment."
Zheng Zhibao said, "the lion and the rabbit should also go all out. This time, we are here to solve the problems of the Li Dynasty once and for all. No one can escape. It is effectively conducive to the solution of the following problems, you know."
Chen Wenruo said, "I understand."
After receiving the order, Chen Wenruo immediately led the eighth division, bypassed Seoul, went straight to the official road to Pyongyang, and ambushed in a valley 30 miles away from Seoul.
As a rising star of the Chinese army, Chen Wenruo was also named Marquis when he founded the country. The commander-in-law was Liu Bu's father-in-law, Prince and commander-in-chief of the Navy. He was convinced and did not dare to have any objection. Since he was ordered to implement it, he went to do it immediately.
Although Chen Wenruo was born a weak scholar, after several years of training, he has become a qualified soldier. He also knows what it is to be kind and not to take charge of the army. Since he came here with the army, he had to obey the orders. Therefore, before the battle, he issued the order: "go all out in this battle, chicken and dog will not stay."
