Chapter 199: Both Naive and Playful

Lin Chen still took it for granted.

The world's oceans are more dangerous.

If he didn't have the nautical charts, the ships used for such rare things as Zhenhaihou would have been produced by the system.

What's more, he, an innate warrior, takes action from time to time. If it weren't for the 20,000 people on board, they would have been feeding fish in some sea area.

Boom!

After a few cannon shots were fired, the cheers of the soldiers were heard on the ship.

I think I can have a snack at noon today.

Lin Chen laughed when he heard this and continued to look at the sea chart.

According to this progress, we will be able to cross the Yellow Sea and enter the Liaodong Sea in three days.

"I wonder what the situation is like with Zhao Kuangyin?"

Lin Chen thought of something, and his eyes filled with thoughts.

As for Zhao Kuangyin, he probably didn't expect that Lin Chen would miss him.

Snow, heavy snow!

For generals who are familiar with military art, they all know not to use troops in winter.

Although Zhao Kuangyin had long known that the border of Liaodong was bitterly cold.

When he came to Jinzhou in person, he realized that he had thought too simply.

In this damn weather, even the hand holding the weapon can easily freeze off a layer of skin!

What makes Zhao Kuangyin even more chilling is that many of the soldiers from the Beijing camp he led this time died of frostbite due to the damn weather.

"Master Zhao!"

Zhao Kuangyin's face relaxed after hearing this voice.

I saw a tall young man striding over, his clothes and armor stained with blood.

It was none other than Wu Sangui.

Zhao Kuangyin originally intended to get involved in the Liaodong frontier army.

The family behind Wu Sangui can be regarded as a local leader in the Liaodong Frontier Army.

In addition, Wu Sangui's own extraordinary ability was highly valued by Zhao Kuangyin.

"how?"

Zhao Kuangyin asked with a smile.

Wu Sangui led a group of Liaodong cavalry on an inspection tour to collect traces of the slave-building army.

"There are enemy troops intruding in the north, but they have all retreated now..."

Wu Sangui had a complicated expression on his face when he talked about the information he had obtained.

During this time, he had seen the fighting power of the Jiannu soldiers, it was really terrifying!

indeed.

These Jurchens fighting for their lives among the white mountains and black waters are by no means comparable to the soldiers of Li and Tang Dynasty.

Nurhaci often captured members of the wild Jurchen tribe to serve as vanguards.

These wild Jurchens are really capable of tearing apart tigers and wolves, and killing bears!

Then put these wild Jurchens in heavy armor, and they will become human tanks on the battlefield, running rampant without any scruples.

Zhao Kuangyin also saw the combat effectiveness of Hou Jin's soldiers and nodded slightly.

This time Nurhaci retreated to Xiping Fort, which showed that Li and Tang's army was overwhelming, which also made him a little frightened.

"Is there any summons from the King of Goryeo?" Zhao Kuangyin thought of something and asked Wu Sangui.

The so-called Goryeo.

It was Zhao Kuangyin who ordered the Goryeo Dynasty to send a large army to assist Li Tang and block Houjin's retreat.

Although Nurhaci is currently retreating to Xipingbao, Zhao Kuangyin doesn't care.

Just besiege Xiping Fort all the way, and the remaining two armies can attack Shenyang and other places.

It is said that after the founding of the Jin Dynasty, Nurhaci learned to make Shenyang the capital, which really made Zhao Kuangyin laugh in his heart.

"There is news that the King of Goryeo is willing to send 20,000 elite troops to accompany the army!"

After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin nodded with satisfaction.

As a vassal of Li Tang, Goryeo showed its attitude.

Zhao Kuangyin was not afraid of Gao Li's little tricks in the middle.

After the Jin Dynasty approached Goryeo, it really allowed the establishment of slaves to become bigger. In the end, the unlucky one must be Goryeo itself.

Furthermore, Li Tang’s power still exists.

Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin also heard that the King of Goryeo intended to donate his daughter to the palace to serve his majesty.

I don’t know if the princess called Yushu is just like the legend of Goryeo.

Zhao Kuangyin thought about it and felt that it was most likely Gao Li's boast.

Don't mention Princess Li.

When the wind and snow in Liaodong stopped, Li Tang's army, totaling 250,000 and numbered 470,000, left Jinzhou.

The left army besieged the Houjin partial division in Xipingbao, and Zhao Kuangyin led the central army and the right army to advance together.

Here I have to mention the configuration of the three-way army.

Zhao Kuangyin led the elite troops from the Beijing camp and the Liaodong frontier army, and they were the most powerful.

The leader of the left army was Zhao Guangyi, while the right army recruited soldiers from all over the country and mixed them together, including Korean soldiers.

The leading general is a disciple of Wu Xun, but there is a civilian official in the tent named Yang Hao who oversees the army.

"This old slave only leaves eight thousand soldiers in Xiping Fort. The left side only needs to besiege this fort to ensure the logistics of the army." Zhao Kuangyin warned Zhao Guangyi.

As his younger brother, Zhao Kuangyin naturally arranged the easiest work for Zhao Guangyi.

Just keep an eye on Xiping Fort and the supply lines along the way.

This left route army is also the elite of the Beijing camp, with a total of more than 60,000 people.

Zhao Kuangyin realized that with his younger brother's ability, it would be easy to complete this task.

And if the Empress Houjin is destroyed later, her contribution will not be too small.

"Brother, don't worry!"

Zhao Guangyi looked respectful, but there was a look of disapproval in his eyes.

His original intention was to go with Zhao Kuangyin to find Nurhachi's main force for a decisive battle, but he didn't expect to be sent here.

But when he thought that he could finally lead an army alone, Zhao Guangyi smiled happily.

As for Xiping Fort, Zhao Guangyi didn't take it seriously at all.

In other words, he has his own ideas.

If Xiping Fort is captured, the left army can divide its troops and advance straight into Kaiyuan. It will also have the opportunity to take one step ahead of its eldest brother and break through Houjindu City.

Such achievements in destroying the country immediately made Zhao Guangyi's heart move.

You must know that among outsiders, you are just a puppet living in the shadow of your elder brother.

Now, he finally has the opportunity to show his talent and prove to the world that he is not just an ordinary person!

If Lin Chen knew his plan, he would probably laugh out loud.

This donkey cart drifting king is really a person who is both bad and playful.

By analogy, he is almost the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Gou.

As the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin's ability is naturally beyond doubt.

However, after the candlelight and the shadow of the axe.

Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne.

You must know that the Song Dynasty inherited five dynasties.

The imperial guards of Zhao Kuangyin's founding period are still there, and they can be regarded as strong soldiers.

There are also veterans in the army.

This lineup went north to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

What was the result?

The elite imperial guards left by Zhao Kuangyin were all gone, and finally they escaped the pursuit of the Liao cavalry in a donkey cart, which was really ridiculous.

At present.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't know his own brother's plan, so he only led the central army to find the old slave.

The camp of the left army.

The first order Zhao Guangyi issued was to attack Xiping Fort.

He was determined to take the fort within five days.

The sky was gloomy, but the Li Tang army was ready to spread in the endless snow.

With the command flag, the Li Tang soldiers began to advance like ants.

Zhao Guangyi looked at Xiping Fort not far away with great confidence.

In his opinion, how long could an isolated fort with less than 10,000 people hold out? !

"General Zhao, this Xiping Fort is not easy to fight!"

A military officer of the Liaodong border army in the tent reminded him.

You should know that the original intention of building Xiping Fort was to be a nail stuck here.

Because of this.

Xiping Fort is not only strong, but also can store enough supplies for a year.

If the Li Tang garrison commander of Xiping Fort had not surrendered, Nurhaci would have had a headache for Xiping Fort.

However, Zhao Guangyi disagreed.

"I have my own strategy, so I don't need your advice!"
