Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 311 The status quo of the Japanese country, Goryeo's fierce battle

In the past two years, the Japanese civil war has never stopped.

Especially after the tribute contest in Ningbo, the relationship between the Fujiwara family and the Ashikaga shogunate was completely broken.

After the two families returned, they fought each other directly.

The fights were back and forth, extremely intense.

The Fujiwara family is also known as the Seki family.

The pass photographed is the position of Guan Bai.

Equivalent to the prime minister of Japan.

But now, even the lord of the Wa country is no longer worthy of the name.

Therefore, Guan Bai of the Fujiwara family is also superficial.

But, after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Compared with other daimyos, the strength of the Fujiwara family is still one of the few in Wa country.

And the Ashikaga shogunate, the largest force in the Wa country, has been suffering from continuous civil wars in recent years.

It's just lingering on, barely maintaining the surface scenery.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have fought to the death with the Fujiwara clan just for the petty gain of the tribute.

Therefore, although the battle between the two ended in victory for the Ashikaga shogunate.

But the Ashikaga shogunate was nothing more than a miserable victory.

But the shogun Ashikaga Kameoumaru, after this battle, his confidence greatly increased.

He was ambitious and wanted to take advantage of the momentum to unify the country.

However, the Ashikaga shogunate at this time has been weak in succession.

Soon, the daimyo Oda clan who had just completed the surprise attack and defeated the Jinchuan clan with 2000 people with 4 people was attacked again.

Ashikaga Oniomaru was also exiled from Beijing by Master Oda Yoshi, the head of the Oda clan.

Afterwards, Master Oda Yoshitaka served as Guanbai of Wa Kingdom.

After the Oda clan annexed the forces left by the Ashikaga and Fujiwara families, their strength increased sharply.

Master Oda Ji also became ambitious and sent troops to pacify the famous names of all parties.

This time the troops were dispatched very smoothly, and the names of each family almost depended on the spread of the call.

It is a pity that after mastering most of the territory of the Wa country.

Master Oda Yoshitoshi hasn't had time to enjoy it yet.

His subordinate Mitsuhide Akechi launched a rebellion and forced Master Oda Yoshito to commit suicide.

Not long after, Akechi Mitsuhide was killed by Toyoda Taikichi, a subordinate of Master Odayoshi.

After Toyota Taiji gained power, he seized the Oda family's foundation in one fell swoop.

He also coerced the emperor to seal him as the new Guanbai.

From then on, Toyoda Taiji single-handedly took over the military and political power of the Wa Kingdom.

Become the actual controller of the Wa country.

Unexpectedly, the desires of Japanese people are endless.

The unification of the Wa country still cannot satisfy Toyota Taiji's ambitions.

He tried many times to coerce small countries that had trade relations with Wa.

Such as Goryeo, Siam, etc., paid tribute to Japan.

It's a pity that these small countries don't care.

Then he created a few small frictions with Liu Qiu.

It's a pity that Liuqiu's reaction was fierce, and the fleet was extremely strong.
Toyota Taiji does not want to be harassed at sea, so he can only give up temporarily.

The south was no good, so he turned his spearhead to the west again.

Goryeo, which is across the sea, is the best target.

Toyota Taiji immediately made a plan and prepared to use it as a springboard.

Trying to get involved in the territory of the suzerain country Wei.

For this reason, he frantically raised domestic taxes and expanded the size of the army.

And asked the daimyo of Chikushi Island to make every effort to build ships.

Prepare for cross-sea landing.

Soon after, Toyota Taiji became a soldier of the Japanese country.

Send out one hundred thousand soldiers and nearly one thousand large and small ships.

The so-called "million army" invaded Koryo.

Goryeo has been in battle for a long time, and its armaments are in disarray.

And the Japanese war just ended not long ago.

Japanese soldiers are well-equipped and well-trained.

Moreover, he has rich combat experience, and his psychological quality is far superior to that of Korean soldiers.

The several waves of soldiers sent by Goryeo successively were completely vulnerable to the Wa Kingdom.

It's basically a one-touch crash.

Only one month after the main force of the Wa Kingdom landed, they took the Koryo King City.

In two months, it almost penetrated the entire territory of Goryeo.

Li Song, king of Korea, ran very fast.

He fled to Liaodong in a hurry and asked for help from the suzerain Wei.

Fortunately, Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet saw the intention of Wa Kingdom.

In this matter, anyone with a little strategic mind can understand:
"The Japanese pirates' picture of Goryeo means Wei."

Therefore, Emperor Jingshun agreed to Li Yan's request.

Not only spread the call to the frontier army, but also let Feng Yibo follow the imperial edict to hold the festival and supervise the army in the East China Sea.

In order to relieve the troubles in the Northeast as soon as possible, so as to prevent the Tatars from taking advantage of the situation, it would be a big trouble.

After Qiu Luan received the edict, he felt a little headache.

It's not because of the Wa country.

But for the sake of Wei's dignity, Emperor Jingshun issued a thousand orders in the imperial edict:
"Where the generals and soldiers of the Great Wei pass through the Goryeo region, make sure that the chickens and dogs are not frightened, and there is no crime in autumn."

"Anyone who dares to tamper with grass and trees among the people will be executed, and any officer or army who commits adultery with Goryeo women will be executed."

"The territory of Goryeo is my land, and the people of Goryeo are my people. Those who kill Goryeo men and women and surrender to human service will be executed."

Not to mention in Goryeo, even in the land of Great Wei, Qiu Luan couldn't restrain himself when he met the people of Great Wei.

"Bandits pass like a comb, and soldiers pass like a grate" is not just talking.

Shouldn't it just be what it should be?

Thinking of this, Qiu Luan couldn't help sighing, saying:
"It's true that the frontier army is Yue's army, Huanqiu did nothing wrong?"

Of course, that's why he got a headache when he saw it.

If Feng Yibo receives such an edict, he will definitely implement the content.

He will turn the territory of Goryeo into the de facto land of Great Wei.

Turn the people of Goryeo into the de facto people of Great Wei.

Unfortunately, Qiu Luan did not have this awareness.

Just when Donghai County dispatched troops, the Wei frontier army set off from the Liaodong Camp.

He crossed the river arrogantly and arrived in Koryo.

Qiu Luan personally sat in the Chinese army to supervise the formation, and soon he was stationed in Pingyuan County.

Because it will take a certain amount of time for the follow-up army to assemble, Qiu Luan made the same choice as Feng Yibo.

Send businessmen to the Japanese camp to find out the truth.

The merchants here are all frontier merchants, and they are inextricably linked with the frontier army.

And now the frontier merchants are mostly related to the upstarts.

It's not too long to come here.

So Qiu Luan specially found one who was a businessman in Korea during Wang Ziteng's time.

Shen Jingzhi who has some relationship with the upstart.

Shen Jingzhi lived up to his expectations, as soon as he received the task, he took a walk around the Japanese camp under the guise of negotiating.

When he came back, he first briefly talked about the situation in the Wa country camp.

Then, when talking about the attitude of Wa Kingdom, Shen Jingzhi said excitedly:
"Marshal, the striker of the Wa country, Xiaoxi Tianxing said that he hopes that the two countries can negotiate amicably."

Qiu Luan was taken aback when he heard the words, then laughed and said:
"They will fight if they don't retreat. What is there to negotiate?"

Shen Jingzhi also laughed when he heard the words, and said:

"He said that Wa's invasion of Goryeo was not against Wei, but purely to punish Goryeo king Li Song who disrespected Wa."

It's okay to deceive children with these words, but adults will not believe such nonsense.

And Qiu Luan's son has grown up!
Hearing this, he sneered and said:
"Tch! That sounds nice!"

Shen Jingzhi felt that he had gained a lot from this trip, and continued:

"He also said that the Wa Kingdom and the Great Wei still maintain a tributary relationship, and the Wa Kingdom also respects the Emperor of the Great Wei."

Speaking of this, he smiled "hehe", and then said like offering a treasure:

"To show his sincerity, he is willing to immediately withdraw his troops from Pyongyang. The two countries will temporarily use the Taedong River as the boundary before conducting follow-up negotiations."

He felt that the negotiation was very successful, and he was still waiting for Qiu Luan's reward.

"Oh?"

But Qiu Luan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then frowned.

Fortunately, this time he was not in a hurry to ridicule, but thoughtfully said:
"It seems that they fought too fast."

Such a gesture was somewhat beyond his expectation.

But it was from this that Qiu Luan concluded that this was the Japanese country's strategy to slow down the troops.

The Wa State conquered the Goryeo King City in one month, and occupied most of Goryeo in just two months.

Now it is very likely that the follow-up supplies are insufficient.

It is a pity that the Great Wei Frontier Army has not yet assembled.

Only the front army and the middle army arrived at this time.

It will take some days for the follow-up troops to be fully in place.

"You go tell them, I agree."

Qiu Luan didn't dare to be greedy for merit, so he chose to use his tricks.

Pretending to agree to Xiao Xitianxing's request.

Shen Jingzhi got the affirmation, and immediately went to the Japanese country to communicate with joy.

Xiao Xitianxing thought that the commander-in-chief of the Wei border army was really stupid enough to believe him.

He couldn't help but relax his vigilance and wait for the follow-up supplies.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Luan didn't relax, on the contrary, he urgently set up his position.

A siege of Pyongyang was soon formed.

Half of Xiaoxi Tianxing's troops fell directly into the encirclement around the Anding Pavilion.

Except for a few who fled back to Pyongyang, the rest of the Japanese warriors were beheaded on the spot.

Then the Wei frontier army went straight to the city of Pyongyang and surrounded Xiao Xitianxing in the city.

It is a pity that Pyongyang City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If it weren't for the Koryo army being vulnerable, they would abandon the city and leave.

Such a city is very difficult to attack.

Most of the Japanese warriors have experienced domestic wars, and they can be regarded as elites in all battles.

So Qiu Luan tried to attack the city several times, but all ended in failure.

After several days, Qiu Luan finally got his chance.

It was a day when heavy fog fell from the sky, and the Wei frontier army took the opportunity to launch a general offensive!

Xiaoxi Tianxing also wanted to send someone to sue for peace, saying that as long as Wei retreated for [-] miles, he would surrender the city.

Qiu Luan was not stupid, so naturally he would not believe it.

After sending away the envoys seeking peace, immediately send an order:

"Pass my order, the first to climb the dead will be rewarded with 1 taels of silver, and given the command post!"

As the saying goes: under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man.

What's more, Qiu Luan's reward is indeed not low.

For a while, the morale of the frontier army was also boosted.

Afterwards, Qiu Luan sent another supervisory team, and those who retreated would be killed immediately.

Under the superimposition of the two phases, the shouts and killings outside the city of Pyongyang were loud, and the soldiers on the frontier also marched forward bravely!

After half a day of hard work, the west gate of Pyongyang City was finally broken by the Wei frontier army.

Wei soldiers swarmed into the city and started street fighting with the remnants of the Japanese army.

As one door after another was broken, wars broke out in Pyongyang.

Qiu Luan used the siege of three and one, and only the east gate was left untouched.

Xiao Xitianxing fled from the east gate with the remnants.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qiu Luan didn't dare to fight.

In order to prevent the main force of the Japanese country from coming to help, Ming Jin was ordered to withdraw his troops.

Xiao Xitianxing, who originally packed up the remnants and wanted to make an ambush, saw that the situation was over, so he rushed to the main force at the rear overnight.

After the frontier army captured Pyongyang City, they began to build fortifications.

Stayed here for half a month.

After Qiu Luan reorganized his army, he was ready to go east to fight the main force of the Wa Kingdom.

But unexpectedly, he received news that the main force of the Wa Kingdom had the intention to retreat.

I will not know until I find merchants from various places to inquire.

It turned out that Chikushi Island was occupied by Donghai County, and the Japanese side lost its rear.

"Donghai County's actions are quite fast, but when the main force of the Wa Kingdom returns to help, they will be in trouble."

Fighting against the Japanese country these days, Qiu Luan knew that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army should not be underestimated.

As far as he thought, Donghai County would definitely not be able to compare with the frontier army.

It was thanks to him that he was able to successfully occupy Chikushi Island.

It was the Wei frontier army that dragged the main force of the Wa kingdom to Korea.

If the main force of the Japanese country goes back, I'm afraid Donghai County will be beaten and run away.

However, Qiu Luan's mission is to assist Goryeo and regain the royal city.

Now that the main force of the Wa Kingdom is about to retreat, then take advantage of the momentum to take the king city.

Take a bite out of it if you get the chance.

If you don't have a chance, don't force it.

"Let the cavalry go out for a walk."

The strongest frontier army is the cavalry, and the previous siege battles did not come in handy.

At this time, cavalry was sent out to investigate the situation.

If the Wa country has already begun to retreat, let the cavalry harass it.

So, after half a month of rest.

Two thousand elite cavalry from the frontier army went out of the city to investigate the royal city of Koryo.

On the other hand, the main force of the Wa Kingdom discovered that there had been no domestic supplies for nearly half a month.

Shimadzu Koichi, the commander-in-chief of the Wa Kingdom, sent several waves of people back, but there was no news of them.

He knew that something must have happened in the country.

But before withdrawing, Shimadzu Hiroichi wanted to give Wei Guo a hard time.

Ninety miles away from the capital city of Koryo, there is a place called Bichi Pavilion.

Not long after he set up an ambush, the two thousand elite cavalry who came to investigate rushed into it.

Tens of thousands of Japanese warriors poured out from all directions.

Fortunately, the elite cavalry of the Great Wei Frontier Army have experienced many battles.

Even though they were surrounded by heavy siege, they did not panic, and the cavalry guerrillas immediately ordered the formation.

Once the cavalry formed a battle formation, it was extremely terrifying.

For a while, among the Japanese army, they rushed left and right, fought and left.

Instead of taking advantage of the Japanese army, they were thrown into chaos by the cavalry.

At this time, Qiu Luan also got the news and brought the main force of Pyongyang to rescue.

Shimadzu Koichi immediately asked people to organize death squads, desperately blocking reinforcements.

For a while, the Death Squad was extraordinarily brave and broke through several battles in a row.

He almost killed the main force of the Wei army and rushed to Qiu Luan's tooth flag.

Unfortunately, that's all there is to it.

Seeing that Wei's reinforcements had arrived, Shimadzu Hongichi knew that the opportunity to fight had been lost.

So while sending out the death squads, he also gathered his troops and withdrew to the Koryo King City.

After the two fierce battles in Pyongyang and Bekjekwan, Qiu Luan has seen the ferocity of the Japanese army even more.

In addition, after successive battles, the Wei frontier army was exhausted and in urgent need of rest.

Therefore, he ordered that the frontier troops continue to rest in Pyongyang.

In addition, he has repeatedly cast doubts.

Want to delay the retreat of the main force of the Wa Kingdom.

Koreans, merchants from all over the world, and even Japanese captives.

Over and over again, he disclosed to the Japanese army the news that the Wei frontier army was about to attack on a large scale.

Shimadzu Hiroichi sent people to walk back and forth on the city wall, pretending to be defensive.

In fact, an orderly evacuation has been ordered.

When Qiu Luan came to his senses, there was only an empty shell left in the royal city of Koryo.

Fortunately, his mission was considered complete, and he captured the King City of Koryo.

At the same time, nearly a thousand Japanese ships, carrying the main force of the Japanese country and the wealth looted from Goryeo, quietly left Goryeo.

Soon appeared on the East China Sea.

Unexpectedly, it was only near Mado Island between Wa Kingdom and Koryo.

It was stopped by the fleet of Donghai County.

Hiroichi Shimadzu was furious:
"Baga! Are they making trouble in the rear?"

At this time, someone also saw the banner of the Black Dragon Mansion, and suddenly exclaimed:

"Not good! It's the Black Dragon King's fleet!"
