Gao Sheng came hurriedly from outside with an excited look on his face: "Li Zicheng sent people back from Korea. What a great victory! What a great victory!"
"A great victory?" Jiang Wan raised his head from the pile of documents and pinched the bridge of his nose: "After all, there is only one awesome Tatar. Mei Xiaofei killed half of them. Even if he killed the remaining half, it would still be a big victory.
It’s not really a big victory!”
"He's outside, let him come and tell you in person!" Gao Gaosheng suppressed a smile: "Li Zicheng's deputy general, come and tell you in person!"
"I've seen the commander!" Li Guo walked in casually: "My subordinates, under the leadership of General Li Zicheng, landed in North Korea seven days ago. That night, General Li decided to lead a surprise attack and besiege the enemy in Tieshan City.
After a day and night of rapid marching, we captured Pyongyang City on the second day and night and eliminated the remaining enemies in the city!"
"Pyongyang was captured by Li Zicheng?" Jiang Wan suddenly stood up, unable to believe that this was true.
However, the man in front of him was Li Zicheng's nephew, and he knew him. Li Zicheng lied about his military exploits, and would not send his own nephew to report the news. Therefore, this news is 90% true.
"A very good move to surround Wei and rescue Zhao!" Gao Sheng nodded aside: "General Li Shen has some tricks up his sleeve!"
"It means a blind cat encounters a dead mouse!" Jiang Wan laughed. Li Zicheng's move was indeed good, which made him feel very happy.
"Then, take advantage of the enemy's return to Pyongyang City to set up an ambush and defeat the enemy army halfway?" Jiang Wan asked. In his opinion, this was the best way. If Mei Xiaofei was decisive, he could even follow and harass the enemy.
, and can also interact with the ambush soldiers.
A defeat would be pretty good. After all, Li Zicheng and Mei Xiaofei's total number of troops was less than a thousand, but the enemy had two to three thousand.
This is really a great victory. At least, Tieshan City was safe in a short period of time.
"No!" Li Guo replied with a strange look on his face: "Our general recruited a group of soldiers and horses in Pyongyang City, and together with the officials and gentry of North Korea in the city, they waited in Pyongyang City and waited until the enemy troops arrived.
Attacked and defeated the enemy!"
He said loudly: "In this battle, more than 500 enemy people were wiped out and more than 1,000 people were captured. Among them, more than 100 Tatars were given heads, and the rest fled!"
"etc……"
Jiang Wan interrupted the other party: "Li Zicheng recruited a group of North Korean soldiers in Pyongyang City, and also received the support of local officials and gentry, then defeated the enemy and defended Pyongyang City..."
He looked at Li Guo: "I understand what you mean, right?"
"The handsome man is wise!" Li Guo nodded: "That's how it is!"
"In other words, Pyongyang is now in our hands..." Jiang Wan pondered: "What is Li Zicheng going to do next? Has he contacted Mei Xiaofei?"
"We have contacted our people in Tieshan City!" Li Guo said: "The general sent the last general to report back to the commander-in-chief. Firstly, he is to inform the commander-in-chief of the battle situation. In addition, he is also asking for instructions from the commander-in-chief. What should we do next?"
"Are there any Tatar soldiers and horses near Pyongyang?" Jiang Wan thought for a moment and asked. He already knew that Tatar soldiers and horses were not permanently stationed in North Korea. Occasionally, small groups of soldiers and horses would come to North Korea.
It is also to collect some strategic materials.
Li Zicheng may have relied on his recklessness to attack Pyongyang City, but if he did not understand the enemy situation around him after taking Pyongyang City, he would have committed suicide.
In fact, even if he was sure of the news, he still couldn't figure out how the huge city of Pyongyang was captured by Li Zicheng.
During the Wanli period, Ming soldiers and horses entered the DPRK several times to fight. Pyongyang City was a strategic place competed with the Japanese army. Thousands of soldiers and horses were killed and injured by both sides here. He only knew that a certain soldier who entered the DPRK for the first time
The general led three thousand people into the city of Pyongyang, but was ambushed. A dozen people escaped. In the end, the defeated general returned to the Ming Dynasty and ended up with his head chopped off.
This unlucky soldier is so incompetent and so embarrassing, but Li Zicheng, this is a little too fierce!
"According to the local officials and gentry, there are no Tatar soldiers and horses. We also sent out scouts. Indeed, we have found no trace of the Tatars in a radius of hundreds of miles!" Li Guo said honestly.
"Is there any reaction from the Royal Court of North Korea?" Jiang Wan considered it for a moment: "North Korea is a small country, and the transmission of news is much faster than that of our Ming Dynasty. When you came, there should be a reaction from the Royal Court of North Korea.
!”
"This..." Li Guo hesitated for a moment, then told the truth: "We don't know the reaction from the Korean royal court, but among the local officials and gentry, there is a family of officials named Park. It is said that in the Joseon Dynasty,
There is quite a lot of power in the imperial court. This person is seeking the position of governor of Pyongyang City. However, this person has no soldiers and horses. He is just some private troops recently recruited under the orders of our general, which is not enough to cause trouble!"
He paused and then added: "In this battle against the Tatars and their minions, this big family named Pu worked very hard regardless of money, food and manpower. According to him, the original Pyongyang garrison general has been recognized by Pyongyang officers and soldiers.
He is a traitor to the North Korean Royal Court, and the North Korean Royal Court should have received such news!"
"This man doesn't want our troops to leave Pyongyang?" Jiang Wan keenly captured the meaning of Li Guo's words: "Otherwise, his governor will have no hope, and he will not be able to suppress other people in the city who are dissatisfied with him.
?”
"That should be what you mean!" Li Guo looked at Jiang Wan with some admiration: "The commander-in-chief is far-sighted, as if he had seen this person with his own eyes!"
"Then don't leave!" Jiang Wan said decisively: "People from the pro-barracks, go back and take them all away this time. Tell Li Zicheng that I gave him the men and horses. If he doesn't know what to do, let him think about it that day.
What did Wu Sangui and Wu Shuai do in Shaanxi!"
"General, I understand!" A hint of excitement flashed across Li Guo's face. This is the commander-in-chief's plan to let them unleash their power in North Korea!
"I won't talk about military discipline!" Jiang Wan said seriously: "With or without your military uniforms, you are all sergeants of the Ming Dynasty. Don't embarrass yourself in front of the people of a small country like Korea. If there are some things that are inconvenient for you to do,
Let Mei Xiaofei and Li Zicheng discuss it and do it. I will not allocate money and food to all the troops and horses entering the court. Instead, if there are any good things, they can be shipped back. Fan Zhen's fleet can be used at any time.
!”
"In terms of ordnance, if there is any shortage, we can supply it through the fleet at any time by reporting the number!" Jiang Wan thought for a while, thinking that Li Zicheng's army contained hundreds of firecrackers. The supply of these firecrackers was probably in North Korea.
The country cannot supply it.
"Thank you, Marshal!" Li Guo saluted with clasped fists: "With the Marshal's instructions, we feel much more at ease!"
"Go ahead and gather the men from the military camp and leave early!" Jiang Wan waved her hand: "Pyongyang and Pidao must not cut off contact!"
