Brocade tears

Due to doubts about Zhang Yunxiu's movements, the group's trip to Pyongyang was postponed, and Guo Dayou worked hard for Wu Liu to make a trip to convey the news to the Big Three in Jiulian City.It didn't matter to Wu Liu, he was already used to this kind of work of sending messages back and forth.Shen Weijing was not in a hurry, because going to Pyongyang to meet President Xiaonishi was no less than a delayed execution for him, which meant that the fifty-day so-called peace negotiation period he had fought for had basically come to naught.Xiaoxi won't give him a good look, because he has never won the things promised to Xiaoxi.

Among the crowd, only Yin Genshou was a little anxious, he was anxious to find out what the pirates were doing.

Five days passed like this, and everyone also spent five days in the posthouse.During this period, Adulqin's injuries were treated in time and gradually improved, but the North Korean doctor asked him to lie in bed for a month and not to act casually.On November [-]th, new news came from the Yalu River. The person who came to deliver the letter turned out to be Zhang Lihuan from hundreds of households. Everyone was surprised that he would come in person, because his mission was to lead the Second echelon operations.

"The commander has come to the front line. He has taken over the command of the rear, so the second echelon will be led by Luo Qianhu himself. My task is to deliver the news to you and meet you at the same time to join your action." Zhang Zhanghuan Baihu said.

It turned out that Commander Luo Sigong also came to the front line, and before everyone was amazed, Guo Dayou asked about the investigation.Zhang Lihuan Baihu went on to say:

"I have already sent someone to contact the navy stationed in Dadonggou and Xindao for a strict investigation. After waiting for a few days, I haven't found it yet. But there is a suspicious piece of information. A man did ask about the ship going to sea. It is said that he still wants to If you want that kind of big ship, you can go to the island of the Wa Kingdom. Because the trade with the Wa Kingdom has long been banned, and the Wa Kingdom has invaded North Korea, and even the smuggling business has been cut off in the past year, so someone came to ask this, the one on Dadonggou Haimin paid attention. It's a pity that the follow-up clues were also cut off, and the whereabouts of the man could not be traced."

Guo Dayou scratched his forehead and said while thinking: "Zhang Yunxiu is going two ways now, one is to go to the main island of the Japanese country to talk directly to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and the other is to go deep into North Korea and find Yoshihiro Shimadzu and Wang Daoming of the Fourth Japanese Army Talk. If he has no way to go to the main island of Waguo, then he should find a way to go to North Korea to find Wang Daoming. But they can’t get through the land route along the Yalu River border. If they want to enter North Korea, the best way is to go to the sea and go around the south. My idea is If they can't find a big ship to go to sea, then find a small boat, go out to sea from the mouth of the Yalu River, go ashore to the coast of North Korea and enter the country, this is the most possible and their only choice."

"That's right, Luo Qianhu and the Commander also meant the same thing. Before I left, there was no news about this. We still don't know whether Zhang Yunxiu has gone to sea to detour to North Korea. But the Commander and Luo Qianhu asked me to convey instructions , Just in case, we have to set off immediately, rush to Pyongyang as soon as possible, and then act according to the latest order." Zhang Zhanghuan said.

Finally, he added: "The time for entering the court has basically been set. The Zu Chengxun Department of the Liaodong Garrison will be the first vanguard to cross the river on November 6000, seven days later, with 5000 combatants. Three days later, also On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the Second Pioneer Army will also begin to cross the river. Among them are Zha Dashou, Wu Weizhong, Li Rumei, etc., a total of [-] people. Follow-up depends on the situation, no later than the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month. General Li Rubai, the commander-in-chief, led [-] Chinese troops into the court."

Everyone knows that the conquest of Japanese pirates this time has almost concentrated the most elite war forces in the country.Song Yingchang mobilized [-] elites from all over the country for the preparation of Japanese economics.The main composition of this army is as follows: Liaodong [-] iron cavalry; Xuanfu and Datong each selected [-] elite cavalry; Jizhen and Baoding each selected [-] elite infantry; Jiangsu and Zhejiang infantry [-].Liu Ting, the deputy general of Sichuan, led the Sichuan Army with [-] troops, and marched towards North Korea as a follow-up force, which is still far away from Liaodong.

The [-] Chinese troops under the command of Li Rusong and Li Rubai, the deputy commander in chief, were actually town troops in the major passes of Liaodong, not drawn from various places.If the town army is also thrown into the Korean battlefield, the situation will be very serious, which will lead to the emptiness of Liaodong's defenses, and allow the Mongolian and Jurchens in the north to take advantage of the gap.

So in fact, the main force of this battle is the elite of more than 4, including the logistics force. The actual number is about [-], which is called [-].In addition, the most elite artillery of the Ming army was also concentrated, such as Franco machine guns, tiger squatting guns, and extermination guns. A huge blow above firepower.

However, Japanese pirates are not vegetarians either. The new type of bird guns they got from the Frang machine is equipped with a well-trained integration for the ashigaru, which is actually very troublesome.The anti-Japanese army did not dare to take it lightly just because they had big artillery.

Guo Dayou, Meng Kuang, Sui Er and others who received the order set off immediately and continued to Pyongyang.They did not take Aduqin with them, but left him in the station to recuperate, waiting to join the second echelon behind.

And at this point in time, Jin Yiwei, who was investigating near the mouth of the Yalu River in Andong, finally obtained the latest and most accurate information about Zhang Yunxiu and the Jurchen.A Jin Yiwei who was inquiring for information on Xindao encountered a fishing boat returning from the direction of the North Korean waters. There was a pair of uncles and nephews on board.The nephew sailed to find his uncle, because his uncle was kidnapped by a group of people.It turned out that the family also had a larger medium-sized fishing boat. In the early morning of the day before, his uncle was about to drive this medium-sized fishing boat out to sea, but was hijacked by a group of more than 30 people with knives and forced him to sail to the North Korean waters. go.He had to follow their wishes.When he arrived near Longyanpu in North Korea, he docked the boat, knowing that this group of people was by no means a kind person. He saw that they were Jurchens, and among them was a person from the Central Plains who looked very cruel.He was afraid that he would be silenced, so he jumped off the boat and dived to escape while the group was not paying attention.He swam back desperately and drifted in the sea for half a day. He almost died, but he was rescued by his nephew who arrived later.

The nephew was terrified by his uncle's description, and the two uncles and nephews did not dare to go to Longyanpu to find their boat, and fled back in a hurry.

According to their description, Jin Yiwei then drove the boat to the vicinity of Longyanpu and found the abandoned boat. The boat was dragged to the beach by the sea at that time, because the place where it landed was reef, Jin Yiwei still lost Zhang Yunxiu and others. traces of people.The only thing that can be judged is that Zhang Yunxiu and his party have indeed disembarked from Longyanpu and entered North Korea.

One day later, on the evening of November 21, the news was sent back to the base camp of Jiulian City. Luo Sigong and Luo Xun who got the news immediately made arrangements.Luo Xun led the Jinyiwei of the second echelon to set off and began to go to Pyongyang. The team also brought Shimadzu Yoshihiro's younger brother Shimadzu Suihisa who had just been escorted over. Shimadzu Suijiu was actually sent to Liaodong very early. He had been imprisoned in the dungeon of Guangning City before, and then arrived at Jiulian City with Li Rusong's troops.

At the same time, they also sent a flying eagle to send a message to the first echelon, so that the first echelon stepped up the arrangement of the trapping plan.Zhang Yunxiu has already entered North Korea, and he must not be allowed to come into contact with Wang Daoming and Shimadzu Yoshihiro first.

"According to the latest information, Shimadzu Yoshihiro's Fourth Army is currently stationed in Gangwon-do, which is the area in the southeastern part of North Korea. It is a long journey from Longyanpo, where Zhang Yunxiu and others landed, to Gangwon-do, and it takes seven or eight days. It’s impossible to travel through the stars and the moon, and it only takes one day for the first echelon to go to Pyongyang at the fastest, and we only have this blank period of about five or six days, and we must make the plan work!” Standing at the headquarters of Jiulian City In front of the map of North Korea, Luo Sigong solemnly pointed at the map and ordered Luo Xun to die.

So in the evening of the same day, at the same time, the second echelon began to cross the Yalu River and enter North Korea.And the flying eagle that sent the message to the first echelon has already spread its wings and flew away.This flying eagle did not go directly to find where Meng Kuang and others were, but flew to a fixed message delivery point to deliver the message, and then the messenger soldiers at the message delivery point delivered the message to the first echelon.

So when Guo Dayou, Meng Kuang and others in the first echelon received the news, they were still more than half a day away from Pyongyang, and they happened to arrive at the outpost closest to Pyongyang-the Anju outpost.This outpost is located in a very remote mountain forest, hidden by vegetation and white snow, it is indeed difficult to find it.Guo Dayou, Meng Kuang and others also found this outpost with great effort according to the coordinates of the map distributed from above.The closer to Pyongyang, the closer to the Japanese army's control area, the greater the possibility of Japanese troops appearing around.In order to prevent encounters, Jin Yiwei's march became more and more cautious.Every time I stop and rest, it is the position of the outpost that has been selected long ago.If there is a temporary change and the outpost is moved, Jin Yiwei will have to rely on the code left by the outpost to find the new location.

"Zhang Yunxiu has really entered the court. We have to hurry up and try to enter Pyongyang City tomorrow and meet Governor Xiaoxi." After receiving the news, everyone gathered together to briefly discuss the next action, Guo Dayou said first.

Shen Weijing's complexion was a bit ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

"This guy still wanted to go to the Wa country, but he didn't make it in the end." Zhang Lihuan sneered.

"Going to Japan to see Toyotomi Hideyoshi is not so easy. Not having a boat is the biggest obstacle. Even if there is a boat to go, Zhang Yunxiu will not be able to do anything in Wa country. Will Toyotomi Hideyoshi see him? Whether they will cooperate with him after seeing him is a very risky test. This is why the Jurchens are unwilling to accompany him to the Japanese country. Seeking skins from tigers. Jurchen also just want to use the Japanese pirates to destroy Haixi, but they don’t want to lure wolves into the house. , Losing themselves. Zhang Yunxiu's plan is too big, but now the plate is too small to do such a big thing. He can only retreat to the next best thing, step by step, first cooperate with Shimadzu, and then cooperate with Shimadzu If Jin recommends Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he must first establish contacts among the Japanese pirates." Shen Weijing said in a very rare long-winded speech, but he made sense, politics is such a thing, how big the plate is and how big the thing is.

The sky above the head is cloudy again, the cold wind is picking up, and it seems that it will start to snow again, and the sky and the earth are terribly cold.All the people in the wild could only gather around the bonfire to keep warm. Wrapped in big leather jackets, they were still shivering uncontrollably from the cold, as if the cold wind was tearing their bones.Meng Kuang added the last handful of hay to the fire and gestured to Guo Dayou.Guo Dayou understood, and went to a secluded place to talk alone with Meng Kuang and Sui'er.Jin Yiwei has become accustomed to this, but Shen Weijing, Yin Genshou, and Wu Liu have some doubts when they see this, because Guo Dayou, the three of them often get together and whisper together, which makes them suspicious, and they can't help but say something What about?But from the standpoint of the three of them, it is not easy to ask too many questions.

Because Shen Weijing met Sui'er before, he knew that Jin Yiwei's military operation this time was a secret operation.Wu Liu and Yin Genshou had misgivings about the smallest Jin Yiwei from the very beginning. This man didn't look like a serious Jin Yiwei. He was very weak and had no combat power at all. The mute Jin Yiwei, who never spoke, stuck together, and the two seemed very close, even a little too close.I don't know why the first echelon took him. Is he a military adviser?

On the other end, Guo Dayou, Meng Kuang, and Sui Er got together.Meng Kuang asked softly:

"Old Guo, what are you going to do after we enter Pyongyang City? We will be searched by the Japanese army when we enter the city pretending to be a mission, and our weapons will be confiscated. How will we arrange our actions in the city after that? Brothers I'm not sure right now."

"After entering the city, the first priority must be to find out the number of defenders in Pyongyang, as well as the equipment situation. Second, find out the food transportation routes and reserve military supplies near Pyongyang. This is related to how much we can negotiate with Governor Konishi The bargaining chip. In the end, it is time to find an opportunity to clarify the conditions, let Xiaoxi find a way to contact the Shimadzu Army in Gangwon Province, and let Shimadzu Yoshihiro replace Wang Daoming.” Guo Dayou’s thinking is very clear, he has already started to think about this issue .

Sui'er said at this time: "During the few days in the posthouse, I borrowed a pen and paper to simply restore a sketch of a picture of animals and flowers. I didn't dare to take it out and kept it on my body. I think this is also a way to tempt Xiaoxi and One of our bargaining chips."

Guo Dayou was taken aback, and said: "You actually took the time to draw one? Why didn't you tell me earlier."

"I haven't found a good time. I used the excuse of taking care of A Duqin to draw it quietly in his room. Because the time was too short and it was very sloppy, I didn't add many details." Sui'er said helplessly.

"Put it away, don't take it out unless it is absolutely necessary." Guo Dayou warned.
