The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 454

golden state.

Xie Youcheng received Tao Jie's urgent letter, after reading it, he didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly went to see the general.

When seeing Tang Qing'an, the first thing he said was.

"Should I send someone to pick up Young Master Chang and go back to Jinzhou first?" He informed the general of Tao Jie's urgent letter.

The situation in Ping'an Dao is imminent and can't be suppressed. Even Tao Jie can't predict it. He even said that if he sleeps, Ping'an Dao will change.

It was not the first time to discuss whether to bring back the eldest son.

But Tang Qing'an couldn't send someone to pick up his son.

Not only are the local officials in Ping'an Road connected in series, but Li Shi's secret military training also helped to deceive Seoul.

in fact.

Jin Jiangzhen is also quietly assisting Li Shi.

Otherwise, Li Shi might not dare to raise troops to attack Seoul as in history, and no one would dare to underestimate Zhenjiang City on the side of the Yalu River.

It can be said that Li Shi's timing today was caused by the unanimous actions of Jinjiang Town and the officials of Ping'an Road.

"It's not time."

Although Tang Qing'an was worried, he still rejected Xie Youcheng's proposal ruthlessly.

It is easy to take back his son, but it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the North Korean leader, which will cause unknown risks.

Will the lord of North Korea discover the crisis, take action in advance to deal with Li Shi who has not yet become a force, and eradicate the crisis of rebellion at the source.

Not only did Li Shi's plan to invade Seoul fail, but in the end, Jin Jiangzhen missed the opportunity to recover Hamgyong Road and Ping'an Road.

So Tang Qing'an was unwilling to take his son back at this time.

Compared with the benefits that Jin Jiangzhen gained, letting his son take unknown risks is the responsibility he should bear as the son of Marquis Ping Liao.

Xie Youcheng felt embarrassed when he saw that the general was determined.

They are well aware of the situation in North Korea. After the last North Korean coup, the Western People's Party won a complete victory.

The remnants of the Northern Faction of the Eastern Party that was in power fled to the local area.

The Xiren Party won, but also because of the uneven distribution of benefits, a split occurred, forming the Gongxi Party and the Qingxi Party.

Li Shi of Ping'an Road was a split from the Xiren Party and was dissatisfied with the Gongxi Party.

The local Xiaobei faction, Gubei faction, Roubei faction, Zhongbei faction, and even the Southern faction... are also dissatisfied with the Gongxi Party in Seoul.

Joint vertical alliance.

It was against this background that Shen Qiyuan arrived in Jeolla-do, gained the support of local factions, and rapidly expanded his strength.

In short.

No matter who the final victor is, the division of Lee's North Korea has formed an inevitable trend, and even Jin Jiangzhen is powerless to subdue it.

"It's very important to recover the Xianjing Road and Ping'an Road, but the safety of the eldest son is also very important. If the eldest son has something good or bad, I'm afraid."

Xie Youcheng had to persuade.

Because of Madam Qin.

Everyone knows that Mrs. Qin loves her son dearly, and no one can afford Mrs. Qin's future jealousy.

Although Mrs. Qin doesn't show much at the moment, no one dares to ignore her kindness in Jinzhou for many years.

Even Xie Youcheng didn't dare to take the responsibility of the eldest son in case something happened. He was not afraid of the present, but he had to worry about the future.

"I have made up my mind on this matter."

Tang Qing'an said with certainty that he knew Xie Youcheng's concerns, so he took the responsibility on himself.

"Let Zhu Wen recruit the knights of Liaohetao, and tell Zhang Yi that two thousand new combined troops are waiting for orders at any time."

Now that the situation on Ping'an Road can no longer be suppressed, Jinjiang Town is no longer stopping it.

Eight thousand prairie riders and two thousand newly joined forces are ready to go at any time to recover Hamgyong Road and Ping'an Road.

Kaiyuan has [-] soldiers, and Liaoyang has [-] soldiers.

Two generals.

It is enough to maintain the safety of the northern border of Liaodong.

"Tell Tao Jie that as long as Hauge accepts our conditions, we can relax our requirements on him. This is also my last chance for him."

Xie Youcheng led the way.

The military yamen quickly moved, and everyone was busy stopping, the route of the march, the supplies along the way, and the sequence of battles.

As requested by the General.

Liaohetao responded to the call and supplied [-] cavalry, of which [-] were accompanied by him, and joined forces with Shenyang's [-] new troops, a total of [-] cavalry went south.

Xie Youcheng went to Zhenjiang in person.

Including Xie Youcheng, most of the insiders wondered why the general was so impatient. Even if Li Shi raised his troops, it would take time to invade Seoul.

Now that the wind has not blown, Jinjiang Town has begun to mobilize, whether it is a waste of food resources.

Tang Qing'an did not explain.

The entire northeast land, including the Korean peninsula.

Looking down from the sky, countless people are surging, like dark clouds, filling the ground with a murderous aura.

Li Shi's son, Li Wei, went to Anzhou.

Meet with Zheng Zhongxin, the pastor and defense envoy of Anzhou, and test his attitude.

Zheng Zhongxin believed in this person.

Unlike others, he has a close personal relationship with Li Shi, and is separated from Ning by a river, less than a hundred miles away.

According to the old view, this person should support Li Shi, but he never responded positively.

Facing Li Shi's recruitment, he turned a deaf ear to it, and faced Li Shi's wooing, he also fully accepted it.

but.

He just didn't agree, and joined forces with Li Shi.

However, he did not expand his troops to deal with Li Shi's crisis, nor did he report to Seoul.

In the current situation, even if he opposes, he has no strength to threaten Li Shi, so many people think that he supports Li Shi.

Li Wei met Zheng Zhongxin.

He didn't mention the fact that his father was going to raise an army, but waited and watched the movement in Anzhou City, and it remained the same as before.

So he confidently left Anzhou and returned to Yongbyon.

Returning to Ningbian at the same time were Han Minglian's nephews Han Run and Han Yi.

Turtle City and Ningbian, one north and one south, clamped down on the main roads of the entire Ping'an Road. With these two places, Li Shi didn't have to worry about being attacked from the rear when he started an incident in Ningbian.

Han Run and Han Yi happily told Li Shi.

Qinchuan, Yunshan, and Yichuan have already been won over. As long as Li Shuai raises his troops, he can win five cities at his fingertips.

The situation is very good.

Li Wei looked at his father with excitement, and said confidently: "There are not many soldiers in Anzhou, even if Zheng Zhongxin repents, it will not help."

Li Shoubai, Qiyi and other cronies were waiting for Li Shi to make up his mind, and looked at him expectantly.

In the entire Ping'an Road, the biggest threat to them is the Marshal Zhang Wan, who is not only old and seriously ill, but also has only [-] soldiers in his hands.

In Li Shi's hands, there are as many as 1 soldiers in the direct line, not to mention the other cities.

No matter how you look at it, Li Shi already has the winning ticket in his hands, and the whole Ping An Road is at his fingertips.

"Does Li Shuai still have any worries?"

Everyone was waiting for Li Shi's reply, but Li Shi frowned, making some people unable to restrain themselves and began to press for questions.

Just looking at the strength of the troops, there is currently no one in North Korea that can stop Li Shi. He has 1 troops in his hand, not the guards.

The only ones who could pose a threat to him were Zhang Wan's [-] elite troops and Li Xingli's more than [-] garrison troops in Seoul.

On Xianjing Road in the northeast, there are only a few thousand elite soldiers, and the rest of the guards are not in people's hearts.

But Li Shi has extensive experience and knows many things well, so he can't just look at the strength of the troops on the surface.

pity.

He really couldn't hold back the people below.

With the support of local factions, he cannot go against the wishes of local factions.

Day three.

Li Shi invited Gao Dexiang, Shen Dalin, the envoys sent by Seoul to supervise him, Jin Zhixiu, the propaganda officer, and Jin Tianlin, the Chinese envoy.

The few people went to the banquet unprepared, and before they saw Li Shi, they saw the soldiers led by Li Wei as soon as they entered the mansion.

"What does that mean?"

Gao Dexiang was shocked.

Li Wei didn't bother to pay attention, and waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed towards him like wolves and tigers.

Shen Dalin, Jin Zhixiu, and Jin Tianlin fled with their heads in their arms. Before reaching the door, they were shot dead by soldiers.

The entourage they brought heard the movement inside, and before they could figure it out, a group of soldiers came out, holding bows and arrows, and shot at anyone they saw.

The entire Ningbian City easily fell into Li Shi's hands, and the banner was raised.

Simultaneously.

Turtle City, Qinchuan, Yunshan, and Yichuan all responded to Li Shi's call without accident, and half of the plain area of ​​Ping'an Road fell into Li Shi's hands overnight.

The Korean Peninsula is elongated, with many plains in the south and forests, highlands and hills in the north, so most of the important cities and population are concentrated in the south.

In order to guard against the North Korean army in Hamgyong-do and achieve a quick battle, Li Shi dispatched the most elite force in his hand.

Seven hundred cavalry using whips and sticks, more than 130 brave "Japanese soldiers" and two thousand North Korean troops rushed to Xichuan.

Xichuan, guarding between the Changbai Mountains and the Taibai Mountains, surrendered to Li Shi without too much resistance.

With Xichuan, Li Shi is no longer worried about Hamgyongdo, and the border cities of the Yalu River are controlled by Han Minglian of Turtle City.

With a safe rear, Li Shi gathered nearly [-] soldiers in Ningbian City, denounced the honored ministers in Seoul, and accused the hypocrite Li Yu.

He beheaded Li Zhen's cronies in public, and led the army to Seoul.

The army crossed the Qingchuan River, but Anzhou remained motionless. According to the agreement, Li Shi did not attack Anzhou, and went all the way south to recover Qichuan, Shunchuan, Jiangdong, Zhonghe, and arrived at Huanghai Road.

All the cities along the way did not resist. In five days, except for the cities on the border of the Yalu River, most of the cities fell into Li Shi's hands.

When Seoul heard the news, Li Shi had already led an army into Huanghai Road.

Gyeonggi-do.

Seoul.

Korean royal palace.

Jin Yan, Li Gui, Jin Zidian, Shen Jingzhen, Li Shu, Li Xingli and other ministers all showed expressions of fear.

five days.

With so many cities waiting for the wind to fall, at this speed, Li Shi will be able to arrive in Seoul in a few days.

Seoul has only [-] garrison troops, how can it resist Li Shi's [-] troops.

Everyone asked Li Xingli, the general in training, whether he could defend Seoul.

When Li Xingli knew it was not boasting, he told everyone honestly.

"Li Shi is well versed in military affairs, and the soldiers he leads are all elite soldiers, not weaker than the garrison army, and the number has expanded to [-]. I am afraid that it cannot be defeated by the enemy."

Jin Yan asked Xiang Jin again.

"Can the reinforcements from all over the place arrive in Seoul within five days?"

Kim shook his head.

"It's only five days. I'm afraid the guards from all over the country have not been recruited. How can they come to Seoul?"

Everyone was helpless.

"Are you just watching the rebels capture Seoul?"

Li Zhen said angrily.

It took only five days for the rebels to rush into Huanghai Road, and there was no resistance from all parts of Ping'an Road.

How many people are supporting Li Shi, Li Zhen looked at the people in the hall, and couldn't suppress the suspicion in his heart.

Li Xingli took control of the garrison.

Is he as loyal as he appears on the surface, or has he already hooked up with Li Shi?Just wait for Li Shi to lead the army to Seoul, he will open the door to let the rebels enter the city?

There are also Jin Yan and Li Gui.

Did they discuss secretly with Li Shi?
Li Zhen felt cold all over.

He doesn't know whom to trust.

On the [-]th, it happened to be the time for the rebels to march, and there was no resistance anywhere. After figuring this out, who else could Li Zhen trust.

Li Zhen had no choice but to firmly grasp the eldest son of Marquis Ping Liao.
