Shi Heng knew nothing about the things in the city.
What he was thinking of was fighting a war of attrition with Yi Sun-shin's Goryeo army.
But after a long time, there is still no food in the city.
He was a little worried about how much food there was in Kaesong.
If the Koryo army did not come out, he could only stick to the siege.
Shi Heng believes that
As long as he continued the siege, he cut off Yi Sun-shin's supply line.
Although there is enough food in Kaesong, it will always be exhausted.
By that time, the Koryo army could only be forced out of the city.
What Shi Heng had to do at this moment was to stick to the outside of the city.
Strictly inspect the supply lines of the Koryo Army, and do not give the Koryo Army the slightest chance to ease.
Chapter 276
The battle on the North Great Wall soon spread to the Koryo Palace.
Li sun-shin was defeated and retreated to Kaesong.
At this time, the ministers in the palace were not aware of the situation in Kaesong.
The ministers became like ants on a hot pot, and they became a mess.
Wang Xuan was already extremely anxious at this time, he sat on the imperial chair and stood up anxiously from time to time.
The anxiety in his heart was written on Wang Xuan's face, but he didn't know what to do.
"Ministers, what can you do to solve my crisis in Korea!"
Wang Xuan, who could no longer sit still, anxiously asked the minister what to do.
Hearing Wang Xuan's words, a minister stood up.
"Your Majesty, I think the Ming Dynasty is in a state of invincibility at this time. If General Li fails to open the city, it will only be a matter of time before our Koryo falls!"
Naturally, Wang Xuan knew the pros and cons of this, but from the mouth of the minister, Wang Xuan still couldn't believe it.
"Your Majesty, it is an unchanging truth that wars will lead to death. At this time, we should negotiate peace with Daming, so as to minimize the loss of...,! 1,'? 8!" 3:" 2![-] Little Goryeo's losses !"
A minister stood up again and said.
Hearing the minister's words, Li Fangyuan's face pulled, and his heart was very angry. .
"I am a big country, so strong enemies are on the edge. If we don't fight at this moment, Ming Dynasty will definitely do more reckless actions against me!" Li Fangyuan stood up and retorted.
"The vast majority of Koryo's trade at the moment comes from Daming. If we continue to fight against Daming, it will definitely affect our Koryo's foreign trade. This will have a terrible impact on our Koryo!" The minister then retorted back.
"Koryo is dead, so what about trade? It's just creating wealth for Ming."
"Also, even if Daming agrees to our peace negotiation, how can you guarantee that he will not continue to invade us?" Li Fangyuan also retorted.
Da Mingzhi is benefiting from my Goryeo. As long as we pay tribute year after year, why would they invade us again? It will only be thankless! ", the minister's tone became sharper.
Li Fangyuan didn't think so, he went on to say:
"As long as we can fight for a long time, we will definitely defeat Daming. At that time, we will be the victors, and the territory of Daming will belong to us. Why should we be afraid of Daming!".
Hearing Li Fangyuan's rebuttal, the minister went on to say:
"It's not easy to raise troops when it's time to go to war.
"After the war, I, Koryo, wasted money and people. If other countries invade, how should we fight back!"
Li Fangyuan wanted to use Goryeo's survival in exchange for the sympathy of the ministers, so he said earnestly:
"Da Ming's material strength is not what we thought it was. After such a long struggle, their rear has long been empty. This is our chance. If we miss this battle, I, Korea, will be a slave for life!"
However, the ministers have already made up their minds. They think that Daming's weapons are far superior to their own, and it will be futile to continue fighting...
Hear the vehement rhetoric of the war faction and peace faction
Wang Xuan looked at the court, he hoped that someone would stand up and give him a useful plan.
But in the end, almost everyone supported him in surrendering.
Now only Li Fangyuan stood up, indicating that Goryeo must fight.
At this time, Wang Xuan had doubts in his heart, and he couldn't make up his mind.
"Thinking that I, Goryeo, have a strong army, but now I have to rack my brains to defend against Daming... It's extremely ironic..." Wang Xuan said helplessly.
Wang Xuan was also thinking,
· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·
Whether to negotiate a peace is the ultimate way out.
Soon, Wang Xuan's eyes turned to Li Fangyuan again.
Li Fangyuan was debating with the ministers, but he didn't see Wang Xuan's eyes.
As the elder of the three dynasties of Goryeo, Li Fangyuan must have an important voice in Wang Xuan's heart.
Seeing that Li Fangyuan did not respond to him for a long time, Wang Xuan said:
"Father of the nation, what should we do?"
The fierce debate between the main combat faction and the main peace faction caused the voices in the court to be mixed, and Li Fangyuan still did not hear Wang Xuan's words.
But Wang Xuan had pinned all his hopes on Li Fangyuan, so he said again:
"Father of the nation... whether we are peace or war..."
At this time, when Li Fangyuan heard the words "Father of the Nation", Li Fangyuan came to his senses.
"Does Your Majesty want to fight?" Li Fangyuan then asked.
Seeing the city miss again and again, Wang Xuan hesitated:
"If you keep fighting, I'm afraid..."
Li Fangyuan understood what Wang Xuan meant, and he didn't want to fight with Daming any longer.
But Li Fangyuan also made up his mind.
As the elder of the three dynasties, he couldn't see Goryeo falling into the Ming Dynasty before his eyes.
If that was the case, he would be ashamed of the late emperor's entrustment.
"Your Majesty, I have sent envoys to Meng Yuan and Dongying in your name to seek support."
Hearing Li Fangyuan's words, Wang Xuan was a little puzzled: "In my name?"
Seeing that Wang Xuan failed to understand, Li Fangyuan no longer concealed it.
"The day before yesterday, the envoy sent to Japan reported that Japan has agreed to send reinforcements to support us!"
"Father of the nation, is what you said true?" Wang Xuan became excited when he heard Dongying's support.
Chapter 277
Knowing that Dongying sent troops to help, Wang Xuan cheered up immediately.
At this time, what Li Fangyuan did solved Goryeo's urgent need.
Naturally, Wang Xuan didn't care about Li Fangyuan's unauthorized actions. As long as Dongying came to help, the Koryo army would surely turn defeat into victory.
"Hahaha, the father of the country still knows my worries."
Wang Yu wanted to reward Li Fangyuan, and now Li Fangyuan is almost alone.
Wang Xuan really didn't know what else to reward him.
Seeing that Wang Xuan wanted to reward himself, Li Fangyuan just said:
"Since I assisted His Majesty, I have never wanted to repay you."
"Gao Lixing, I, Li Fang, are lucky!"
"It's just a matter of luck for the old minister to solve His Majesty's worries and problems..."Two Forty Zero""
Hearing that Li Fangyuan was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, Wang Xuan felt relieved.
"The heart of the father of the nation, I really admire"
"If everyone is like the father of the nation, then Koryo must be prosperous."
Even if Wang Xuan said this to Li Fangyuan, it was still mocking the futility of the ministers.
After Wang Xuan finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.
Only Li Fangyuan responded:
"Your Majesty, I've said too much, I'm just doing my best..."
As soon as Li Fangyuan said this, he immediately gained a little more weight in Wang Xuan's heart.
……
It is still some time before Japan sends troops.
During this period, Kaesong must not be defeated.
Therefore, Li Fangyuan continued to suggest to Wang Xuan: "At this time, Kaesong is the last line of defense for Da Ming's army to attack Seoul. In the battle of Kaesong, Li Sun-shin must continue to hold on!"
"Father of the nation, what's your opinion!" Wang Xuan looked at Li Fangyuan sincerely and said.
"Order Li Sun-shin to guard Kaesong for half a month. If not, Li Sun-shin should die to apologize!"
Wang Xuan hesitated, "Is it sure to be like this?"
Seeing that Wang Xuan was having trouble making up his mind, Li Fangyuan said firmly:
"If this is not the limit, Li Sunshin must have reservations. At this time, his retreat must be cut off, so that Li Sunshin can go all out..."
Wang Yu felt that Li Fangyuan's words were reasonable, so he sent an urgent order,
"Let Yi Sun-sin persist for another fifteen days!"
"If you miss, come and see me!"
At this time, Wang Xuan didn't know that Li Shunchen, who was retreating to Kaesong, had already been surrounded by Shi Heng's army.
Shi Heng's Ming army is still besieging Kaesong, and Yi Sun-shin in Kaesong cannot hear any news from outside.
Therefore, Li Sunchen had no knowledge of Wang Xuan's order.
However, Yi Sun-shin is very confident, thinking that he can stick to this place for a year without any problems.
However, after the capital army besieged Kaesong for a while...
Suddenly, the number of the capital's army began to increase gradually.
Secretly numb soldiers multiplied by multiple spreads.
At this time, the soldiers standing on the wall to investigate immediately realized that something was wrong.
He hastily told Li Sunchen: "The number of Ming's army has increased by five times."
When Li Shunchen heard this, he suddenly felt bad.
"I have worked so hard to cause the Ming army to suffer losses."
"Now, the Ming army has suddenly increased by more than [-] people..."
He didn't know where Daming had transferred so many troops.
Li Sunshin thought to himself,
"Could it be that I'm going to be buried here?"
Thinking that he only had [-] troops left, Yi sun-shin became more determined in his strategy of defending Kaesong and never meeting the enemy.
