RNP Chapter 962
Chapter 962
The reshuffle of the separatist regions is in full swing, and Zhang Fei and others are also going to set off to perform their tasks.
Zhou Yuan held a banquet to see them off, and also took Zhang Fei to talk a lot.
There were encouragements, but more about the complexity of the task, and he wanted to analyze it comprehensively for him.
Don’t look at this small peninsula, each force seems to be small, but if it really falls, it will definitely be painful.
The four forces are fighting for the world, and they all have their own strategies and positioning. If they are not sure of this, they are destined to not go far.
"My lord, rest assured. I will strictly follow your instructions and complete the mission."
Zhou Yuan patted his shoulder and said solemnly: "Goryeo is not as important as your life. Even if the mission fails, you must not take risks."
Zhang Fei's face changed, and he half-knelt down and said loudly: "I am willing to go through fire and water for my lord! I will not regret it even if I die!"
Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said: "Go, this battle will be very interesting."
The Virgin Sister also got busy. Facing the public sentiment issues in the separatist area, she, the eldest princess, had to come forward in person to appease the people and deepen the impression and reputation of the Li Dynasty in the hearts of the people.
Of course, in order to prevent Su Youzi from doing stupid things, she still brought her sister with her.
"I'm really not afraid of anything happening between you and your master. I'm very generous. As for you, she can do whatever she wants. I'm mainly worried about her safety."
"Don't leave Dingzhou before I come back, otherwise I'll be angry. It's hard to coax you."
Su Youzi also said: "Yuan Yizi, there are thousands of great ways, and the benevolent are invincible. You must keep your heart and clear your evil thoughts."
Zhou Yuan said: "Master, I obey your orders, but I need motivation. Can you..."
"Rebel disciple, no."
The master left proudly.
The two sisters rode on horses in the heavy snow. After walking a few steps, they turned back to look at Zhou Yuan at the same time.
The eyes were different, but there was no doubt that they were all really good to Zhou Yuan.
"It feels great!"
Zhou Yuan stretched his waist. The feeling of being pampered was really happy. Even if this kind of happiness was expressed in words, it always made people feel a little bit corny.
Pyongyang has always been a prosperous place on the peninsula. It is a city that cannot be ignored. Even the Kim Dynasty, which is now in danger, has left more than 20,000 troops to guard this place. It is said that the supplies are sufficient to resist the attack of 100,000 troops.
In Zhou Yuan's view, if the 20,000 soldiers guarding the city have the quality of five military camps, then there will be no problem in resisting the attack of 100,000 troops.
Unfortunately, they are all rotten inside and have no determination to defend. How can they defend?
Zhou Yuan made several plans and finally chose to negotiate.
The Virgin Sister needs a family background. Zhou Yuan wants to get these 20,000 defenders for her.
"The general guarding the city is named Park Zhengyuan. He is a young tiger general. Although he is not tall, he has the courage to fight against a hundred."
"He is very wise. He started as a soldier and has come all the way to today in just fourteen years."
The intelligence of Shenque is very detailed. They have been rooted here for more than a year.
The spy whispered, "Park Jeong-won has a wife, a concubine, four children, and a very upright family tradition. He never indulges in extravagance, and it is difficult for money and beauties to penetrate him."
"He is a loyal man and very capable, so Jin Zhentang values him very much, otherwise he would not have given him Pyongyang."
Zhou Yuan wondered, "If he values him very much, why not transfer him to the front line?"
The spy smiled and said, "Because Park Jeong-won was born in a humble family, he has always been despised by the core class of the Kim Dynasty, and there are many disagreements among the military generals."
Zhou Yuan said, "Find an opportunity to arrange for me to meet him, and I will try to persuade him to surrender. Is there any way?"
The spy immediately said seriously, "Of course, our spies in Pyongyang are capable of delivering the letter to Park Jeong-won, but they cannot control his attitude."
Zhou Yuan smiled.
He picked up a brush and wrote a poem casually: "The marshland and the mountains are included in the battle map, how can the people live happily? Please don't talk about being a marquis, a general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of people."
Slightly shaking the ink, Zhou Yuan said: "Give him this letter and tell him: December 15th, outside the north city of Pyongyang, boil wine and talk about heroes."
After that, he lowered his head and looked at Park Jung-won's resume carefully.
His record is not outstanding.
It's nothing more than leading 300 men to rescue and build river embankments thousands of miles away on a certain day.
It's nothing more than traveling through the mountains, putting out fires, and killing tigers.
It's nothing more than a brilliant performance in military exercises, surviving with a weak force without being defeated.
It's nothing more than being a turtle, guarding the city and blocking the Jurchen cavalry from attacking the city.
He did the dirtiest, most tiring and least rewarding work.
The Kim Dynasty simply did not give him a suitable stage to perform.
I am just blindly loyal, otherwise I might notHow much worse than Li Jingzhi.
Only 34 years old!
Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Come here!"
The guards quickly ran in, clasped their fists and half-knelt.
Zhou Yuan said: "Call two old ministers of the Li Dynasty, I have something to ask them."
...
The cold weather is often more unfriendly to the elderly.
The young man stood on the city wall, not afraid of the wind and snow.
He didn't wear much, his young body was his best clothes.
A voice came from behind: "General, Gushan has been completely taken down, and all the mountain bandits along the way have been cleared. We should set off."
Li Jingzhi didn't speak, he just looked at the undulating mountains in front of him quietly, his eyes were solemn and his face was heavy.
The people behind him didn't dare to urge him, so they stood with him in the snow.
It was unknown how long it took before Li Jingzhi said, "We have taken Gushan. Now we have two options."
"Either we control the central region, go south to Huaiyang, further control the North Han River Basin and the Imjin River Basin, and fatten ourselves up for the future."
"Or we cross the mountains, go west to Huangzhou, cut off Zhou Yuan's way south, and block them in Pyongyang."
"They only have 20,000 troops in total, but the area they cover is already very large. Pyongyang is a tough nut to crack. Even if he can take it down, he will definitely suffer a lot."
"That's when I will fight him."
The counselors behind him had changed their faces and spoke up.
"General, you must not do that. We don't need to be enemies with the Jin Dynasty."
"Take Seoul, destroy the Jin Dynasty, and make friends with the Jin Dynasty. This is our original strategy."
"Make friends with distant countries and attack nearby ones. The Jin Dynasty cannot be defeated. It is best to temporarily surrender to the other side."
Li Jingzhi snorted coldly and said in a serious tone: "Submit? We rebelled to conquer the world for this?"
"Don't think the Jin Dynasty is too strong. The giants in the north are approaching. It is not certain whether they can survive this disaster. How can they care about us?"
"As long as we defeat Zhou Yuan's 20,000 troops this time, he will not have the opportunity to send troops again for at least five years."
"And in five years, I can build a most elite force. At that time, even if he comes again, I will not be afraid."
"After all... he does not need to pay a huge price just to seize our barren land."
At this point, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "It's decided! Go west to Huangzhou! Cut off Zhou Yuan's way to the south!"
