The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 464

Relying on the quick action, Ham Kyong Dao was caught off guard.

In a short period of time, without expending too much effort, they successively captured Sanshui City, Changjin City, Jiashan City, Xianxing City, Dingping City, and Yuyuan County.

Most of the richest Xianxing Plain fell into the hands of the Jinjiang Army.

but.

Because Li Shenghu failed to win Jizhou, Xianxing City was unstable.

The army from Hamgyong North Province can start from Jizhou and arrive at Hamxing City along the four places of Duanchuan, Liyuan, Beiqing and Hongyuan.

And according to the military commander's plan, if Li Shenghu wins Jizhou, it will not only block the southward rescue route of the North Hamgyong Army.

At the same time, the four cities of Duanchuan, Liyuan, Beiqing, and Hongyuan were surrounded, and the four cities could be easily forced to surrender.

If this plan is achieved.

Then the Jin Jiang army already occupied nearly half of the land in Hamgyong Road, but now, it only occupies one-third.

And without forming a favorable terrain, the east gate of Hamgyong was opened, which was not conducive to defense.

Preyuan County.

Wu Zhenmeng had soldiers but no boats, and was unable to cross the river. After thinking about it, he discussed with Li Chengxian.

"Except for North Hamgyong Province and South Hamgyong Province, the land that originally belonged to us has been taken back, and now we have missed a good opportunity."

"Yongxing, Gaoyuan, Wenchuan, Deyuan, and Anbian, the five places can only be mapped in the future. And the situation in the rear is too delicate. If there is a mistake, all previous efforts will be wasted."

Although Li Chengxian is a civil servant, he has experienced wars for many years and is no stranger to the military, so he understood what Wu Zhenmeng meant.

"Marshal Wu wants to return to the army?"

Wu Zhenmeng nodded.

The general has given him a lot of power, and he is fully responsible for the entire war in Hamgyong-do. Although he wants to get all the credit, but at present, it is not beautiful to continue to insist.

"Including the [-] North Korean troops in hand, the military strength has reached [-]. Not only is it difficult to transport supplies to the rear, but the military spirit is delicate."

Han people, let him accompany others, Kers people, Guima people, Baochiku people, barbarians, Koreans, Yehe people, Jiri charming people, Kuwu people, Daur people...

In such a complicated situation, it was not the ruler of North Korea who deceived Ham Kyung-do and took advantage of it.

If a siege battle was fought head-on, the casualties would be high, and Wu Zhenmeng would have to worry about the morale of the army.

He can directly order, the general gave him the right, and to be on the safe side, he also wants to find someone to help him share the burden.

Looking at all the people around, only Li Chengxian is qualified.

"Since Wu Shuai has made up his mind, I will definitely support Wu Shuai."

Li Chengxian smiled.

Willing to support Wu Zhenmeng, but the main responsibility is still Wu Zhenmeng, he can be behind Wu Zhenmeng.

"In this case, we need to think long-term. In Judge Li's opinion, how should we reply to Jinzhou?"

Jinzhou's plan is not only Hamgyong Road, but also Ping'an Road, as well as the ultimate goal of dealing with the rebels.

As Jinzhou senior civil and military officials, Wu Zhenmeng and Li Chengxian knew more news.

On Ping'an Road and Hamgyong Road, Duhufu will be established.

If there is no unexpected situation, Fu Yi will be Li Chengxian, and Jiedu Envoy will be Wu Zhenmeng.The two will need to work closely together for many years to come.

……

Zhenjiang.

Xie Youcheng, as the chief manager of the rear, dispatched various affairs.

"Consolidating the existing areas, restoring people's livelihood in the Hamhung Plain, and not delaying the future autumn harvest are the key."

The urgent letter from Li Chengxian and Wu Zhenmeng was sent to him immediately, writing down their future plans.

"Guarantee the rights of the local Liangban class. For the hermits and slaves, we will not intervene in the short term to gain the support of the local Liangban class."

The advantage of this policy is that it can quickly stabilize the local area. The disadvantage is that there are not many residents in Hamgyong Province, which is the main reason why the government has been unable to collect taxes in full.

It will lead to the lack of local finances in Hamgyong-do, but it will need the transfer of Jinzhou, and the recovery of the land will become a burden.

And if the hermit households are counted, it will affect the interests of the upper class in the local area, and finally cause the instability of Hamgyong Road.

Hamgyong-do is not an isolated place. There is North Korea outside and North Hamgyong-do has not yet been recovered. Li Chengxian believes that we should be patient first, and then plot.

Xie Youcheng understood Li Chengxian's meaning, put down his letter, and picked up Wu Zhenmeng's urgent letter.

"North Hamgyong Province has many mountains and little land, and the population is insufficient. The old rules require supplies from South Hamgyong Province, otherwise it cannot be self-sufficient."

"The Jinjiang army has isolated North Hamgyong Province, separated North Hamgyong Province from North Korea, guarded the passage, trapped North Hamgyong Province to death, and obtained North Hamgyong Province without bloodshed."

The advantage of this strategy, as Wu Zhenmeng said, is that North Hamgyong Province can be captured without any effort.

North Hamgyong Province is located on Gaema Plateau, Baekmoo Plateau, Hamgyong Mountains and Baekdu Mountains, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The army in Wu Zhenmeng's hands came from complicated sources, and the attack on North Hamgyong Province was from the lowlands to the highlands.

This kind of offensive has been time-consuming and labor-intensive since ancient times.

Even if the army's combat effectiveness is strong, it will still cause huge casualties, and the morale of the army is not stable, and it is very easy to be defeated by a small defeat.

Li Chengxian supports Wu Zhenmeng's idea.

present.

The territory obtained will not bring benefits to Jinzhou, but will require Jinzhou to consume its savings, which is not a long-term solution.

North Hamgyong Province is already difficult to attack, and the attack not only consumes a huge amount of materials, but also requires investment after taking it.

The only way is to be absolutely trapped, and to replace offense with defense, which is the best policy.

The army's battle plan was jointly discussed by the military commander and the general from beginning to end, and Xie Youcheng knew the general's thoughts very well.

Xie Youcheng and the general had already anticipated the difficulty Li Chengxian raised.

Taking down Hamgyong Road will not only fail to strengthen Jinjiang Town in a short period of time, but will consume Jinjiang Town's vitality instead.

If the situation cannot be reversed within a few years, it will fall into the predicament of gains and losses when the former Ming Dynasty regained Annan.

It took a lot of manpower and material resources, and finally the bamboo basket fetched water in vain.

But as the general said.

The civil strife in North Korea is a god-sent opportunity.If God does not take it, you will be blamed; if the time is not right, you will be blamed instead!
The situation in Shenyang is complicated, and the situation in Zhenjiang, at present, is worse than worse.

There are only one thousand soldiers in Zhenjiang, and it is a newly combined army.

The entire southeast of Liaodong, with the army entering the DPRK to fight, is the most powerful, most delicate, and most dangerous time.

If you are not careful, everything will be in vain.

The situation in North Korea, the situation in Hetuala City, and the situation in Hamgyong-do.

Think about it.

Xie Youcheng decided to support Wu Zhenmeng and Li Chengxian's strategy.Let them stabilize the situation as soon as possible and plan a safe road.

~~~~~~
Jizhou City sent many people to contact Jiashan and Shanshui, and learned from Duanchuan that the Jinjiang army had attacked Xianxing.

After confirming Jin Jiangzhen's ambition, he didn't hesitate to notify Jingcheng.

"Because there were no soldiers in Xianxing, Zhang Fuyi and Li Jiedu went south ahead of time and set up a defense line on the Longxing River."

Li Jianwei, a son of the Li family, came to Jizhou quietly and fully informed Jizhou Mu of the situation in various places.

The largest clan in North Korea is the Kim clan.

Jin Zhongshan's greatest benefactor should be Quan Li. With his strong support, he won the trust of North Korea.

In the end, he resisted the Japanese pirates in North Korea and made illustrious military exploits. He was given a name, among which Jin was given the surname, which shows the influence of the Kim family in North Korea.

Integrating into the Kim family, it can also be seen that North Korea originally attached great importance to Kim Zhongshan.

However, the Kim clan has gone through hundreds of years and has huge branches. Although it bears a surname, it does not mean that it is a camp, just like the national surname Lee in North Korea.

In Hamgyong-do, the most powerful family is the Lee family, which suppresses the Kim family.

Li Shengji, who returned to his hometown after retiring from office, Li Renren, Li Jianwei, etc., are the representative figures among them.

Although martial law is imposed everywhere, some people allow people to travel unimpeded.

Whether it is Xianxing Mansion or Jizhou Mansion, the former is Li Renren to inform, and the latter is Li Jianwei.

But Li Shengji stayed in Xianxing, and Li Chengxian personally asked him to come forward to help stabilize people's hearts, and he readily agreed.

There has been no disturbance in Xianxing City so far, even Changjin and Sanshui have not had any major resistance. Li Shengji's appearance has taken a large part.

Li Jianwei left Jizhou, concealed his identity all the way, and quietly returned to Xianxing.

There were not only many more soldiers in the city, but also many officials from Jinzhou. With the original tolerance of the city, the old rules were maintained.

Li Shengji, who was invited out of the mountain by Jinzhou, temporarily took up his duties as the governor of Hamheung Mansion, stabilized the government team, and allowed everything to continue as usual.

In addition to the difference in accent, the difference in behavior seems to be the original Hamhung Mansion. The people in the countryside are numb and hardworking in the fields.

Leaving from the government office, he returned to the mansion.

The fields outside Li's residence, as far as the eye can see, are all his family's land.The land is not only wide, but also contiguous.

On the ground are people wearing patched clothes and old men with bare arms. Everyone is dry and thin, with dim eyes.

Old men, old children, men, women, and children have different looks, but they all have one thing in common, they all belong to the Li family's servants or tenants.

The free folk disappeared from here.

Li Jianwei was sitting in the sedan chair, wearing a bamboo hat, entered the mansion through the back door, and heard voices coming from the miscellaneous room.

The entourage showed embarrassment, and Li Jianwei became angry.

"who is it?"

"It's the second young master."

"It's him?"

Hearing that he was not a servant, Li Jianwei put away his anger and asked curiously, "Who is he in there with?"

"The Lin family."

Li Jianwei shook his head contemptuously. There are so many maids in the front yard, and it's really unseemly for them to hang out with the cook's mother-in-law.

Ignore it and go straight to the main courtyard.

"Uncle."

After being welcomed into the study, Li Jianwei hurriedly shouted when he saw the figure in the room.

"Just come back."

Li Shengji nodded in satisfaction.

Although their Li family is full of relatives and friends, old disciples, but they are in turmoil, and they dare not let the Jin Jiang army find out, there is always danger.

"The situation in the south, I have truthfully informed Jingcheng Dufu. They want to send troops to take back Xianjing Road. Please let me go south to contact Zhang Fuyi and Li Jiedu, and attack Jinjiang army from north to south."

"Uncle, what should I do?"

Li Shengji, who is in his seventies, wears silk from the Jinling of the Shang Dynasty, and many famous paintings of the Shang Dynasty hang in his study.

There are tea trays and tea utensils from Fujian, chess pieces from Yunnan and Guizhou, pen caps and stone mills from Jianghuai, porcelain from Jingdezhen, and large vertical bottles.

There are also Western full-length mirrors, which are taller than a human being. It is not easy to keep them intact after being transported thousands of miles away.
