But despite this, the two also have a division of labor.

Lu led the army, waiting for the grain and grass transported by the sailor to advance together, while Li Dingguo led the forward, about 4,000 horsemen to open the way.

There are examples of Jianlu, and the examples of the Japanese army itself are there, if the army has no food and grass, no matter how strong its combat power is, it is useless.

This time, the Ming army went south, and it was all cavalry, although the action was a lot of apostasy, but the demand for grain and grass was greater. It is impossible for these more than 10,000 cavalry troops to drive straight in, otherwise, they will starve to death when they turn back.

Fortunately, there are many rivers in North Korea, and on the side of Seoul, a Han River provides convenience for sailors to transport grain and grass.

So, there was such a scene.

On the Han River, a long line of Daming Navy Division transport ships, escorted by a small number of warships, swaggered southward. At the same time, on the shore, it was the main force of the cavalry led by Lu Da. It can be said that the land and water armies go hand in hand.

And in front of this army, it is Li Dingguo's department.

Indeed, as Matsudaira Nobutsuna said, since the population of North Korea was destroyed by Jian, the infrastructure of North Korea has not been maintained, and it is naturally dilapidated, including official roads.

Therefore, Li Dingguo's subordinates did not chase fast, but just hung the tail of the Japanese in front of them, as if a hunter was driving a flock of sheep. When he was not happy, he rushed in to kill him for a while, and when he was happy, he shouted at the sheep to let the sheep run quickly.

The Ming cavalry advanced from north to south, waving flags and red uniforms, all of which were conspicuous. As a result, what the Ming army did not expect was that after the Koreans hiding in the mountains saw the Ming army, many people could not stand the threat of hunger and ran out to ask the Ming army for food.

For these, Li Dingguo was hungry back then, and he knows how uncomfortable it feels to be hungry. In addition, he also knew that the emperor had decreed that from now on, this would be the province of Korea and the land of the Ming Dynasty, so he treated these Korean people like the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Or you can stay here and wait for the imperial court officials and soldiers to drive the Japanese away, and there will be Ming officials to rebuild Korea, and when they come out again, they will also be a member of the Ming people, and they can also live!

Seriously, these Korean people were still a little scared at first, although the Ming army was much better than the Jianyu and the Japanese Kou, but the unreasonable Ming army was not absent, and there were even Ming troops who didn't treat them as human beings.

However, what they didn't expect was that this Ming army was so close to the people, which made them all overjoyed and grateful to Dade.

In this regard, Li Dingguo did not feel that he had done much, and kept a normal heart and continued to move forward.

No, as he was leading the army, a group of ragged Korean people came over at night and said to him: "Dashuai, these people have run down from the nearby mountains and want to have a bite to eat." ”

Li Dingguo looked at this group of skinny Korean people, especially a few of them, who had big bellies, but they were men, and at a glance, he knew that these people were estimated to have eaten Guanyin soil, and they would die if they didn't do well. Thinking of his experience when he was a child, Li Dingguo said to them with a kind face: "You don't have to be afraid, although North Korea has been destroyed by Jianyu, but I, Daming, have already helped you all avenge and destroy Jianyu." The emperor has also decreed that North Korea is called part of the Ming Dynasty, and you will be the people of the Ming Dynasty in the future! ”

Speaking of this, he instructed the man who did not accept it at night: "Pass my military order, go to the rear army and give each of them a bag of grain, save a little frugality, and when the army has eliminated the Japanese invaders, they can come out openly, and with the protection of the imperial court, they will no longer have to be frightened, and they will hide in the mountains!" ”

I have already ordered this kind of thing many times, and I have received such military orders many times when I don't collect it at night, so I have received military orders in a familiar way, and I turned my head to convey it to those Korean people. At the end, he even introduced himself: "I am actually from Korea, and I joined the Ming army in the Battle of Pyongyang that year. You can rest assured, now that the Ming army is extremely strong, it won't be long before there will be no more wars! ”

It is better to be a peaceful dog than to be a troubled person, no matter where the ordinary people are, they all have such the most profound feelings.

Therefore, after hearing his words, especially after he was originally a North Korean, this group of North Koreans was very excited, and immediately asked about the things they cared about in North Korean.

What kind of generals there are, what kind of soldiers there are, this is really not wrong at all.

Li Dingguo is very sympathetic to these Korean hungry people, and his attitude is very good, and he also influences his soldiers, and he is also very sympathetic to these Korean hungry people, and his attitude is kind.

Therefore, it was only a short time for these starving North Koreans to completely eliminate their fear and anxiety about the Ming army, as if they saw their relatives and thought that they would have a good life to live in the future, and they couldn't help but cry.

For them, they really despair about the future! However, now there is expectation, expectation and yearning for a better future.

Li Dingguo had seen such a scene many times, watching them vent the sadness they had suppressed in their hearts for many years, sighed slightly, took the reins with him, drove the horse and continued slowly, not wanting to see it again.

But at this moment, a tall but skinny man suddenly rushed out of these North Koreans, stopped at Li Dingguo's horse's head, pointed to the front, and muttered excitedly.

Li Dingguo looked a little wrong, and was stunned, but he didn't understand.

However, the North Korean did not listen to it at night, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and he almost jumped in front of the North Korean and asked him quickly in Korean.

After only a few clicks, he immediately turned around and clasped his fists and said to Li Dingguo: "Dashuai, he said that on the mountain twelve miles ahead, there is an ambush by the Japanese army!" ”

The movements of the nearly 50,000 Japanese army, no matter how covert they were, could not hide from the Korean locals who remained in the mountains. If the Ming army treats the Koreans badly, it is estimated that the Koreans will hide aside and watch the enemies fight each other, which is the most suitable for them. However, the Ming army had already treated these Koreans as Ming people, and Li Dingguo was better off these hungry and cold people because of his own experience. This is really rare in ancient times.

Therefore, how could this Korean man who knew the news of the Japanese people let such a good Ming army run to the ambush circle of the Japanese people. Naturally, he said what he knew.

It is not unreasonable for the so-called unrighteous and unjustified to have little help, and to gain more help from the righteous.

In a certain martial arts book in later generations, it was snatched up by many martial arts people, thinking that the secret of achieving the king's hegemony was finally opened and seen, just the words "benevolent invincible". For the characters in the martial arts book, it is a great irony. However, for what happened to the Ming army today, it is actually the best annotation of these four words.

The same is true, if the Central Plains Dynasty sends troops, it will definitely issue a text, whether there is or not, it will write the opponent's unreasonable, and its own division is famous. This thing is not because of face, but really useful for war.

At this time, Li Dingguo couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it. Seriously, in such a situation, he really didn't expect that the Japanese army not only did not retreat in Busan, but instead met and ambushed.

He was confident that he was very concerned about the details of the war, and from the various signs of the defeat and escape of Seoul, it was inferred that these Japanese were definitely not fleeing by fraud, but really fleeing in the wilderness.

Thinking of this, Li Dingguo couldn't help but attach great importance to the Japanese army in his heart, raised it by another level, and secretly sighed: "It seems that the Japanese army is really not to be underestimated, there are capable people!" ”

He didn't know that this capable man was actually Haoge who was captured alive by him. The reason why he was surprised this time was that Jianyu was defeated too many times, he had experience, and he used the idea of doing the opposite, but he was almost succeeded by him.

After Li Dingguo asked about the situation, he naturally ordered the whole army to stop advancing. Later, he personally asked these local Koreans about the nearby terrain, the situation of the Japanese people, and so on.

After getting more information, a new idea slowly took shape in his mind.

Subsequently, while sending a small group of cavalry to make a gesture of continuing to advance, he personally rushed back to the rear army, and went to discuss the latest military situation with Lu Da, who led the main force to follow, and told Lu Da his thoughts.

When Lu Da heard this, he couldn't help but be afraid. He also expressed his approval of the new combat plan proposed by Li Dingguo, believing that if he fought according to this new plan, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort and completely wipe out the Japanese army in Korea.

As a result, the Ming army redeployed.

…………

And on the hill twenty miles away from the advance of the Ming army, the lookout post of the Japanese army saw the situation and immediately rushed to Matsudaira Nobutsuna to report: "My lord, Kameda has fled back under the tree in Seoul!" ”

When Matsudaira Nobutsuna heard this, his heart was happy. Although what he did before, he was actually using Kameda under the tree as bait, and he was already mentally prepared for the annihilation of the whole army. But he didn't expect that he would be able to escape back a part, of course he was happy.

I saw Matsudaira Nobutsuna hurriedly jump to the place with a good view, and looked down at the official road under the mountain.

Sure enough, I saw a Japanese army, under the banner of Kameda under the tree, there was no formation at all, but just swarming to the south to flee. Just looking at this posture, you can't see that this is luring the enemy.

"Kameda-kun under the tree, I'm really wronged!" When Matsudaira Nobutsuna saw the remnants of this Japanese army, he was in a good mood and said, "After this battle, this official will definitely give him credit!" ”

Haoge on the side, looking at all this, is also looking forward to the ambush in the Ming army, and it is best to capture the Ming general, so that he can return the humiliation that he was locked in the cage at the beginning!

Haha, I can't think of it, this king also has a plan, but he didn't want to use it before. Now I want you to know that this king is not easy to mess with!
