Liaoning is adjacent to North Korea, and when it was still called Liaozhen, there was not much contact between the two sides, and they also knew each other's situation very well, and they wanted to inquire about news in North Korea, and the Li family also had such and such means, not to mention the current situation, many North Koreans took the initiative to send intelligence news to the past. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The letter from Liaoyang clearly explains the situation in North Korea, as if there were people there.

Li Rusong also understood very well in his heart, up and down, not to mention his two younger brothers, I am afraid that many of the cavalry brought by his family from Xuanfu will report to Liaoyang.

The letter said that although there were large Japanese troops stationed in Pyongyang all the way to Seoul during this period, they were mainly foot soldiers, and they were all entrenched in the center of the city, and such garrisons were actually dead soldiers, and there was no way to come out to stop and harass them, and if the Ming army in Pyongyang organized an elite cavalry to go south and attack Seoul as soon as possible, it would certainly have great results, and if it joined forces with the Korean "righteous soldiers" in Seoul, it would be possible to seize the city in one fell swoop.

Compared with the important town of Pyongyang, it is dazzling and amazing to be able to take the royal city of North Korea, Seoul, even if someone in the DPRK suppresses the Li family, there is no way to cover up such a great achievement.

“…… Isn't this a wishful thinking? Li Rusong just said with a wry smile, the cavalry rushed all the way forward, and when they arrived in Seoul, there would be almost 100,000 people in the Japanese army, how could it be so easy to rush into Seoul and seize the city.

What is written in the letter, too many subjective judgments, and the changes on the battlefield are not what they want, and the other party will follow how to cooperate.

When he heard "The master will personally lead the troops to come", the wry smile on Li Rusong's face was no longer hidden, and he turned his head and asked Li Rubai and said, "Why is my father so crazy over there?" This is very unkind, but Li Rusong doesn't care, and he is not afraid of the person who sent the letter to go back to report the letter, everyone is their own family, and many things are well known.

"Big brother, you don't know if you're not in Liaoxi, my father often cries when he is alone, saying that the good situation of the Li family is very ...... for being delayed by him and blaming himself", as a son who was raised at home, Li Rubai's face was not good-looking at this time, and he lowered his head and said there, Li Rusong sighed, but said to the person who sent the letter: "Li Biao, your brother is still in Xuanfu as the president of Qianfu, right?" Inexplicably, Li Rusong actually asked this question, and the servant kneeling on the ground hurriedly agreed: "Thanks to the reward and promotion of the eldest young master, he was given this background." ”

Li Rusong nodded, and said in a solemn voice: "You go back and tell the master, just say that Ben will prepare here, and he will lead his troops to attack Seoul soon, do you understand?" Having said that, what else don't you understand here, the left and right are a family matter, then Li Biao's hesitation was only for a moment, and he immediately kowtowed again, and said respectfully: "Little one understands, here I also wish the eldest young master a victory!" ”

Li Rusong nodded with a satisfied smile and said: "Your younger brother Li Gou'er is very diligent in his work, and he is qualified to arrange to be a garrison in the local area, or to be promoted to be a thousand presidents." ”

"Thank you young master, thank you young master for understanding the little one, understanding the little one!" , that Li Biao couldn't stop kowtowing, everyone in the room was also relieved, the old man was already stunned, but the boss here is Li Rusong after all, Li Rusong is reluctant to attack, everyone understands, the father and the eldest son are in dispute, others are really difficult to do, there is such a smooth solution, everyone doesn't have to worry about it.

............, spring is often the most difficult time for farmers to endure throughout the year, spring sowing has not yet begun, and winter savings have been exhausted.

Li Rusong once said that with the current supply of grain and grass, their troops and horses would probably run out of food 30 miles from Pyongyang, and the situation was similar for the Japanese army.

The Hwanghae-do province south of Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province belongs to the "thirty miles out of the city", and at the node, because the early stage of looting and burning was too much, the amount of military food supply in Pyongan Province and Hwanghae-do has not been able to keep up, and food supplies further south are needed.

Therefore, after the First Army's Konishi Yukinaga's Department retreated to Hwanghae-do, the military grain logistics of Hwanghae-do became very embarrassing, and the distance from Gyeonggi-do to Hwanghae-do was a trouble, not to mention the addition of Konishi's Yukinaga's Department, and now the First Army did not even have local fund-raising, and it completely relied on the supply from behind.

Under such pressure, several generals of the Japanese in the Seoul camp in Gyeonggi Province decided to withdraw most of the troops and horses of the First Army Corps and the Third Army Corps to Gyeonggi Province and Gangwon Province, so that the supply of food and logistics could be eased a lot. In Hamgyong Province, which is further north than Pyongan Province, the Kato Kiyomasa Division of the Second Army stationed there has more than 23,000 troops, and the need for logistics and grain transportation is much less.

There is also a reason for this, because this Kato Qingzheng's march has always been fast, and the combat power of his subordinates is better than that of other legions, this person also has a "Tiger Kato", the title, known as brave, all the way to advance too fast, in October of the 20th year of Wanli, it has already arrived at the border of the Ming Dynasty.

Because the march was too fast, there was not much time to burn, kill, loot and destroy, and the situation in Hamgyong Province was probably maintained, and when the news of the lack of military rations came here, he did not wreak havoc on his side, and the proportion of military rations he looted accounted for a large proportion, which was much better than that of Governor Konishi.

The decisive retreat of Governor Konishi's army actually has a lot to do with the fact that the military food reserves are too small, of course, although the backbone of the First Army Corps is there, it has lost almost one-third, and it has already moved its vitality and has to retreat.

In addition to the reason for the lack of military rations, the relatively thin Third Army Kuroda Nagamasa was also amazed by the combat power of the Ming army, the Japanese troops in Huanghae Province added up to nearly 30,000, and the area of Hamgyong Province was too large, and Kato Kiyomasa's Second Army Corps may not have time to rescue, that is to say, the Heian Daoming Army directly opposite Huanghae Road had an advantage over the Japanese army in terms of numbers, and in order to be safe, it was necessary to retreat.

Kobayakawa Takakei of the Sixth Army has already arrived in Gyeonggi Province, and the Ukita Hideya as the general is really not very good, and a figure like Kobayakawa Takakei is needed to preside, and now there are still many riots and teams organized by Chaobi landlords and monks in Gyeonggi Province, threatening the road to the north to transport grain, withdrawing the two corps, and clearing Gyeonggi Province, which is also one of the purposes and the judgment of Kobayakawa.

Since the beginning of the twentieth year of Wanli, the Japanese army landed in Pusan, and the momentum went all the way north, and there was not even a single resistance from top to bottom of Korea, and the riot counteroffensive organized by the top and bottom of Korea was also suppressed by the Japanese army one by one.

But suddenly, the Japanese suffered a defeat in Pyongan Province, and then retreated all the way from Pyongan Province and Hwanghae Province to Gyeonggi Province.

The news spread quickly, and the retreat of the 1st and 3rd Japanese Legions proved this from another angle, and every Korean was spreading wildly, and there were already rumors further south that the 1st and 3rd Japanese Legions were completely annihilated by the Great Tomorrow Army.

Hamgyong-do, Gangwon-do, Gyeonggi-do, and Hwanghae-do suddenly became chaotic, and the number of Korean riots and attacks on the cities increased several times at once, but they did not have the slightest effect.

But all this is a process, the Japanese army retreats one by one, the North Korean provinces continue to riot and chaos, the news is circulating everywhere, and there are many unreliable people everywhere.

Because it was not a rout, the Japanese invaders were effective in blockading the borders everywhere, and the news was circulating, often heard, and then added their own emotions, which became more and more outrageous.

The North Korean officials in Pyongyang were also very excited, and they received the news from the so-called inner line that the Japanese were in disarray, that Seoul was no longer even defended, and that the Japanese were preparing to reorganize their troops and horses in Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province, which were close to the Japanese country, and to stabilize their positions.

Seoul is the capital of North Korea, and the recovery of Seoul is a great merit, even if it is not fought down by itself, it may not be possible to lead the Ming army into the city to go without a meritorious feat, and when the whole of Korea is recovered, what kind of promotion benefits will he get, this is self-explanatory, not to mention, Seoul's accumulation and harm are far greater than Pyongyang's, and it is much stricter than the oil and water here.

Li Kui and Jin Yingrui went to Li Rusong's side to make a statement, saying that at this time, the Japanese retreated, and it was the time when the army was chasing after the victory, and the general was about to establish a great merit at that time.

However, at this time, the trouble is that the horses are often not able to penetrate too deeply, and the ninjas and cavalry of the Japanese have also begun to cover the battlefield, and the military reports on the south side of Ping'an Road and even the south of the Datong River rely on rumors.

The information is unclear, so naturally you can't rush to send troops, Li Rusong is very steady, and the North Korean civil and military officials have been beaten out by him several times, and under such circumstances, the North Korean civil and military officials in Pyongyang are all in a hurry to jump up and down, and even many people in the Ming army are in a hurry, thinking that this is just putting a lot of credit and not taking it?

After going back and forth, everyone finally found the key to the problem, since they said that Li Rusong could not be moved, then they could find Li Chengliang......

At the end of the first month of the twenty-first year of Wanli, the army led by Wang Tong was about to arrive in Yizhou! ~！
