The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 456 Li Shi's Failure
Jinzhou was busy, and all the big shots went to Zhenjiang in person.

The news about the Korean war finally spread in Jinzhou, and many people knew about it.

"No wonder it's so good, it's a mess outside."

Zhou suddenly said, looking at his wife worriedly.

What was strange was that Qin Keqing, who should have been anxious, sat quietly on the couch, waiting for someone.

Couple of ten years.

Qin Keqing believes that her husband is the most gentle man in the world, so she should be the happiest.

It's just that the husband has a bottom line.

Business and righteousness.

When dealing with the family, official business is not as important as the family, but under the righteousness, nothing can hinder it.

Qin Keqing couldn't judge whether the North Korean affairs were official or important.

But the husband watched her son fall into a dangerous situation without doing anything, and she had a judgment in her heart.

So she didn't bother her husband, but she was waiting for the general to give him an explanation... to give her a guarantee.

Tang Qing'an finally went home and went to Qingwen's place first.

As usual, he ate and changed his clothes, as if nothing had happened, Qingwen waited on him.

Hesitant to speak.

"How is Keqing?"

Qingwen said hastily: "Mrs. Qin has been staying in the house, not thinking about tea and food, no one can persuade her."

Seeing that the master didn't speak, Qingwen couldn't help asking.

"Is the thing about North Korea true? According to the rumors from outside, Seoul may not be able to keep it?"

Li Shi has been saving for many years, and with the support of most of the local ministers, he is unstoppable.

Tang Qing'an knew it well.

This person will definitely be able to break through Seoul.

Because the Jinjiang army did not have a battle plan to cross the sea to guard Seoul, but let Seoul be broken by it.

Without the assistance of the Jinjiang army, Li Zhen could not hold on to Seoul.

Although the master didn't answer, Qingwen had already got the answer, and couldn't hold back any longer, burning with anxiety.

"But Xiaogan is still in Seoul. If Seoul is destroyed and the army is in chaos, what should I do?"

Tang Qing'an was still speechless.

After breaking the city, the Palace of the King of Han must be the most intense battlefield, because Li Zhen is not a mediocre person.

If history has not changed.

Li Jinghui fled Seoul ahead of time, fled south smoothly, and successfully escaped the pursuit of the rebels.

There are too many variables, and Tang Qing'an can't guarantee whether the eldest son will be safe in such a situation.

Swords and guns have no eyes.

Someone proposed to ask Li Zhen to hand over the eldest son and escort the eldest son to leave Seoul by boat.

Tang Qing'an didn't think that Li Zhen would let go of his son, nor would he if he were Li Zhen.

It is the only bargaining chip to force Jin Jiangzhen to send troops to support him.

Li Jing will still be the leader of North Korea in the future, and the current situation cannot force him to let go, so there is no need to do anything that will cause an irreparable rift between the two parties.

The situation caused by tearing the face and not tearing the face is completely different.

"say something."

Qingwen is in a hurry.

"I finally went home and changed a set of clothes, can't you let me be quiet for a while?"

"Okay."

Qingwen understood.

"So you came to hide from me."

Tang Qingan ignored Qingwen, went to lie in the room for a while, and left the house directly after waking up.

He knew that Qin Keqing was waiting for him.

I couldn't give Qin Keqing the guarantee she wanted, so I didn't dare to see her.

~~~~~~
The vanguard of the rebel army failed to cross the Linjin River.

Everyone in Seoul, which has received the good news, is relieved. As long as Linjinjiang can defend for one more day, Seoul's chances of winning will increase by one point.

All provinces and prefectures are summoning guards and soldiers, and they continue to march to Seoul.

"When will the Jin Jiang army be assembled?"

Everyone is asking.

Zhenjiang seemed to be quiet, and no one was sent to contact Seoul for a long time.

In Seoul.

The situation is gradually delicate.

Ge Shifeng ignored the eldest son day and night, never left his armor and weapons.

Zhenjiang didn't tell him many things, but he had a faint sense that if he supported Seoul, the reinforcements should have arrived long ago.

There has been no movement, so there must be a plan that he doesn't know about.

"Master, is there no reinforcements?"

Sudden.

Tang Yan asked dryly.

"Who did you hear that from?"

Ge Shifeng was shocked. Although the eldest son is wise, he is still a child after all, so it is impossible to make such an inference.

"I heard from the princess. She told me that she heard her father and mother say that Jin Jiangjun will not come."

"The princess told me quietly."

Tang Yangan added another sentence.

Ge Shifeng frowned. He had heard from Chen Kaiwu and Uncle Chen that Li Ji should not be underestimated. This person has outstanding talents.

If it weren't for the pressure of the Liangban situation, with his talent, he would be a rare enlightened master in North Korea.

"Young master, you don't have to worry, I will protect your safety whether there are reinforcements or not."

Tang Yanqian was a little sad.

People in the palace have always respected him, saying that his father is powerful and will send troops to protect him.

With the reinforcements of the Jinjiang Army, the rebels were unable to capture Seoul.

But when the princess told him that his father would not send troops, he didn't understand.

Doesn't his father care about his safety?

"Did father not care about me because he has a younger brother, or because my mother is not his wife?"

Tang Yanqian, who is about to be nine years old, has a ignorant understanding of many things.

The eunuchs and court ladies in the Joseon royal palace would tell him many things, as well as the Confucianism he learned from Mr. Joseon.

"My son is wrong, the general must have his plan."

Ge Shifeng comforted Tang Yanqian.

Tang Yanqian didn't understand the rebel army, nor did he understand how dangerous it would be if the rebel army captured Seoul, but he learned to worry about whether his father still loved him.

On the small brow, unknowingly, sadness climbed up.

One day.

Li Shi led the army and successfully crossed the river in one day, captured the Linjin River, marched towards the Han River, and arrived in Seoul in a few days.

Seoul is in chaos.

Numerous ministers dragged their families and wanted to escape from Seoul.

Without the king's order, no one can leave Seoul.

It's a pity that not many people care about Li Zhen's royal order. Except for ordinary people who cannot pass through the gate of the city, the rest of the honorable officials left one by one.

Because of the actions of the ministers, the guards in Seoul were even more panicked, and many people took the opportunity to flee.

"Your Highness, let's run."

Eunuch Lin Zhong persuaded Li Zhen again.

"If you don't run, it will be too late." Hearing his nephew's warning, Lin Zhong couldn't delay the marching speed of Li Shi's army with the resistance in various places.

Without accidents, the rebels would arrive in Seoul in less than two days.

There are many factions among the two groups of honorable officials, but they communicate with each other, and can easily change their banners, but Lin Zhong can't.

His glory and wealth depend on the lord, so he is the last person who wants the lord to be good or bad.

While ordering his nephew to summon the army to guard the lord from fleeing at any time, he urged the lord not to have expectations for Seoul.

Li Jing's eyes were numb and his clothes were disheveled.

He is the leader of North Korea, lost Seoul, everywhere, who would agree with this puppet?

Even if you leave Seoul.

The original rebels could not be wiped out, and when the rebels took Seoul again and their power increased, where could he escape.

It's the difference between early death and late death.

The same is dead.

He wanted to stay in Seoul and die with the dignity of a king, not like a bereaved dog, making people laugh at his death.

"I will live and die with Seoul."

The rulers of North Korea did not use the self-proclaimed name because it belonged to the emperor of the previous dynasty, and the king of North Korea was not qualified to use it.

but.

For example, Li Chenggui, and many lords of past dynasties, also quietly called themselves Zhen, but they would not leave official words in official documents.

From the time he was promoted to the position of the lord of the country, Li Jing has always strictly observed the etiquette and law.

Today's despair made him give up on himself.

~~~~~~
Xing'an Lord Li Xuan, the uncle of the North Korean ruler Li Zhen, fled Seoul with his family, but instead of going south, he went against everyone else and went north.

The nephew can overthrow the uncle's throne, why can't he overthrow the nephew's throne?
The position of the head of the country takes turns, and this year he will come to my house.

As Sunjo's son, he thinks that compared with Sunjo's grandson, Lee Sang, who rebelled against the superior, in terms of blood, he has more confidence to secure the position of the king of North Korea.

Xing'an Lord Li Yu went north to join the rebels.

Li Shi was so excited that he even stopped the army for a day and held a grand ceremony to receive Xing'an Lord Li Yu.

rebels.

It is no longer a rebel army, but a righteous army, the king's army, has mastered famous weapons, sent people to contact various places, and respected Xing'an Jun Li Yu as the king.

All cities in the North responded.

Jeolla-do.

It is the most peaceful one of the Eight Paths of North Korea.

"What should we do? Unexpectedly, Li Shi took the lead."

Quan Luo Dao observed Shen Qiyuan, and a group of people beside him were eager to discuss this matter.

In the same situation as Li Shi of Ping'an Province, Shen Qiyuan also won the support of local ministers in Jeolla Province.

There are also officials from all over the world who have hooked up with him in person.

Pyongan-do and Gyeonggi-do are separated by Hwanghae-do, and Jeolla-do and Gyeonggi-do are separated by Chungcheong-do.

There is Zhenjiang behind Ping'an Road, and there are three rebel armies behind Jeolla Road, all of which are under the nose of the forces of Jinjiang Town.

Li Shi of Ping'an Road has twelve thousand elite soldiers.

Quanluo Dao Shen Qiyuan, although there are only a few thousand elite soldiers in hand, they have attracted most of the middle and lower rank officers in the guards of the whole Dao.

Confidants Jin Yingxuan, Zheng Heng and others had a dispute over how to deal with Li Shi's rebellion.

"Support Li Shi, and the north and the south will attack, Seoul can easily fall." Jin Yingxuan said.

"It's not our own initiative. Anyway, we won't get any benefits. The previous incident in Seoul is a lesson from the past." Zheng Heng retorted.

In general, there are two opinions.

People like Jin Yingxuan have contacts with Qingxi faction and think that they should support Li Shi and carve up Seoul together.

People like Zheng Heng have contacts with the Zhonggu faction and the Southern faction, and believe that only a coup led by themselves can get the greatest benefit.

The two factions can't argue, and neither can convince the other.

at last.

Li Shi was on the bank of the Linjin River, and the news spread that Li Xing'an Lord Li Jing was the lord of the country, and the two factions unified their opinions.

Li Shi is not supported.

Because of his behavior, arbitrarily authorizing power, and not leaving them any benefits, everyone no longer trusts Li Shi.

Shen Qiyuan was very annoyed by Li Shi's actions.

Even he, Jin Yan and others had a fierce dispute over who should be the king before the coup in Seoul.

Although the candidate I recommended failed, Li Li was still there, at least after a joint discussion.

Li Shi won a big military victory, but before he knew it, he lost politically.
