When the information about the Ming army's military buildup in Pyongyang reached Li Fangyuan, the latter immediately smelled a conspiracy.

North Korea's encirclement was vulnerable. Since the Ming army had already found its way out of its pocket, why didn't it withdraw to Liaodong?

The Ming army still expected to rely on more than 10,000 people to defeat Li Fangyuan's 80,000 main force?

This idea only existed for a moment before Li Fangyuan was thrown out of his mind.

Although the Ming army was able to fight, it was still a mortal body, and it did not have powerful weapons such as cannons. It relied on cold weapons to cut with knives. The main force that Li Fangyuan had trained with his own hands for so many years was not a vegetarian!

Could it be that the Ming army was tired?

Well, it is possible. After marching 300 miles in more than two days and fighting a battle with 40,000 soldiers from Hamhung Province and Gangwon Province, the iron-clad man should be tired.

"Your Majesty, should we still pursue him?"

A general looked at Li Fangyuan with red eyes, but his attitude was already very clear.

The tragic situation in Beijing has completely angered these military men. It can be said that the current North Korean army has a good morale.

Li Fangyuan didn't even hesitate at all, and he couldn't hesitate. He had to drive the Ming army completely across the Yalu River, and then he had to find a way to "kill" some achievements, otherwise he couldn't explain it.

"Chase!"

Li Fangyuan issued an order, "Let the government troops in Hamhung Province and Gangwon Province move closer to the Chinese army."

No matter how low the combat effectiveness of the government troops is, after all, there are more than 20,000 men with weapons. If they cannot defeat the Ming army, they can always defeat the people of Liaodong, right?

Li Fangyuan decided to enter Liaodong and kill good people while taking credit!

He will throw the blame for burning Seoul onto the heads of the Ming army. The Ming army has a precedent of massacre in Beijing. The people of North Korea will believe what he says, Li Bangyuan. When the time comes, he will carry thousands of "Ming army" heads back to China.

, falsely reporting some achievements, exaggerating to 20,000 to 30,000, which is enough to add a lot of prestige to oneself.

Raise your arms and call, and the whole country will be in arms!

Li Fangyuan was such a person. He didn't want to become a king and have to kneel at the feet of the envoys of the Ming Dynasty.

That is a disgrace to a monarch!

As soon as Li Fangyuan's army moved, the Ming army in Pyongyang City also began to move out of camp. However, before returning north, Ping An issued an order to run slower!

Pyongyang is already very close to the Yalu River. It is only four hundred miles away. If he really followed his previous steps, he would have traveled back to Liaodong in three days. It would be doubtful whether Li Fangyuan would dare to pursue him or not.

In this way, an almost ridiculous scene appeared on the Korean Peninsula. The Ming army in the north was running, with more than 100,000 Korean troops behind it. However, the Ming army was not panicked at all. Sometimes it ran too fast and started before Shen Shi arrived.

Set up camp and make repairs so that the North Korean army behind you can catch up.

When we returned to the Yalu River, there were still more than ten pontoon bridges built to cross the river. Ping An looked back and said, "Let's cross the river."

Yu Yaxin comforted him, "General, don't worry, we will definitely fight back one day."

Ping An laughed and stepped onto the pontoon.

"Destroyed the pontoon."

As soon as he stepped on the land of Liaodong, Ping An gave the order, leaving Yu Yaxin stunned for a moment.

The Ming army probably marched slowly along the way, just to wait for Li Fangyuan behind them. Yu Yaxin knew that this must be Ping An's trick to lure troops, so why did they want to destroy the pontoon bridge now?

"We can't even destroy the bridge, how can Li Fangyuan dare to continue chasing us?"

Ping An explained, "You have to be careful when it comes to acting, but we can destroy it slower."

Yu Yaxin then understood and hurriedly clasped his fists to accept the order.

In this way, with the Ming army consciously slowing down, Li Fangyuan's army finally arrived in a hurry. At this time, half of the pontoon bridge was destroyed.

When the Ming army, which was immersed in hard work, saw the pursuing North Korean army, they "panicked" and threw away the gold, silver and jewelry they had looted from Kaijing City. What's more, they even threw away the muskets and weapons they were carrying. On the ground.

"Quick! Chase after me!"

The panic of the Ming army dispelled Li Fangyuan's vigilance to a certain extent. The North Korean army began to repair the pontoon bridge and followed the Ming army across the Yalu River.

After all the Korean troops had crossed the river, the Ming army no longer behaved as lazily as they had in the previous few days. The Ming army, which had been walking and resting for several days, under the leadership of Ping An, the chief military officer, was completely in a forced march posture. Sayazi ran wildly, lowered her head, and headed straight to the southwest.

"General, why don't we go back to Liaoyang camp?"

As he ran, Yu Yaxin felt something was wrong. The direction of retreat seemed wrong?

The southwest is where the Jurchen tribe of Jianzhou is located!

"Let's take the North Koreans for a tour."

A dangerous smile appeared on Ping An's lips.

For the blood debt of tens of thousands of lives in Kaijing, Ping An doesn’t believe that Li Fangyuan doesn’t want to avenge this!

Li Fangyuan, who had been chasing the Ming army, also noticed Ping An's intentions. When his father Li Chenggui was a general on Ping An Road, Li Fangyuan knew the locations of the three Jurchens.

"Mingren sacrificed the Jianzhou Jurchens."

Li Fangyuan originally planned to kill a good person in Liaodong for meritorious deeds. As for whether he killed Ming people or Jurchens, he didn't care at all. Since the Ming army took him to the direction of Jianzhou Jurchens, the hatred between him and Jurchens for many years has made him Li Fangyuan didn't bother to change direction, so he just rushed over.

The Jurchen people of Jianzhou are a fishing and hunting people. Their living area is not as erratic as that of the nomads. They are relatively concentrated, and they all stay on the coast of the Bohai Sea, that is, from Fuzhou to Jinzhou.

It wasn't until Zhu Di set up the Jianzhou Guards that he would move them to Dandong. However, Fuzhou and Jinzhou still retained a large number of Jianzhou Jurchens, so Zhu Di set up the Jianzhou Left Guards, with Aha as the leader, and Meng brother Timur as the leader. Get one.

There is no Jianzhou Guard in this time and space, and there won’t be any in the future!

Aha Chu and Meng Ge Timur took away all the Jurchen men. The tribe was full of women and children. At this time, they were guarding the coastline for fishing. The arrival of more than 100,000 Korean troops was something they did not expect.

These Jurchens began to flee in panic, but they were not nomads after all. All the horses in the tribe were taken away by Aha and Meng Ge when they went on an expedition. Women and children with only two legs could only jump if they wanted to run. There is a road across the sea, but their speed obviously cannot keep up with the encirclement speed of the North Korean army.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army has disappeared."

The Ming army ran too fast, and the Korean army did not have the physical strength to march for more than an hour.

Li Fangyuan hummed, but didn't really care.

It doesn't matter if the Ming army can't find them, there are still more than 10,000 "Ming army" heads in front of us.

"Kill them all!"

Li Fangyuan waved his hand fiercely, "cover his face with a knife and behead him."

As long as the face is cut with a knife until it is beyond recognition, who can still recognize the man and woman?

Li Fangyuan made up his mind to kill all the Jurchen tribe in Jianzhou before leading his troops back to North Korea.

As for where the peaceful Ming army went?

They had already crossed the Zhuang River and made a detour in the direction of Gaizhou, with no intention of entering Fuzhou.

At the Gaizhou Guard's position twenty miles south, his personal captain Li Polu had already been waiting.

"Meet the general!"

As soon as Li Polu saw the safety, he excitedly stepped forward to greet him, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists in salute.

Ping An ignored him and walked directly past him.

Behind Li Polu, there were two incredible Ming generals.

Zeng Bin, the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and Sheng Yong, the commander-in-chief of Peking!

The former came from the Liaoyang camp to welcome Ping An, while the latter was invited by Ping An before he sent Li Polu to return first.

"Haha, Brother Ping is back. Lao Zeng and I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Sheng Yong smiled and cupped his fists in greeting to Ping An.

"Brother Ping has conquered Korea and conquered the capital. Seoul and Seoul are two important Korean cities. This has greatly increased the prestige of our Ming army. Sheng is very impressed."

Anping was slightly startled.

This is a cover for him. The military report will be delivered to Nanjing sooner or later, but there is always something special about how to use the Spring and Autumn brushwork.

"Brother Sheng's words have brought shame on someone."

Ping An kept smiling bitterly, "Mr. Ping retreated after suffering a defeat this time. I don't dare to take the word "merit" seriously. He only hopes to pacify North Korea as soon as possible, so he tied himself to Nanjing to plead guilty."

The three of them said a few more polite words before Sheng Yong opened his mouth.

"General Ping has worked hard these days, why not go back to Gaizhou City to rest first."

Ping An couldn't invite Sheng Yong. He was just the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. Sheng Yong was the commander of the capital of Peking. The two were basically on the same level, but they couldn't stand each other. Zhu Yunwen added a personal imperial plaque to Ping An's handwritten letter.

!

Ping An was invited by Sheng Yong with this token.

After running for a whole day, Ping An was indeed a little tired. When he heard this, he was not polite. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Lao Sheng."

Sheng Yong smiled heartily, then looked south, and his tone became much colder.

"If I send people to the Yalu River to destroy the pontoon bridge, Li Fangyuan will not be able to go back!"

Ping An looked past Sheng Yong and narrowed his eyes involuntarily.

Sheng Yong did not come alone. He brought 30,000 soldiers and horses with him to attack Peiping.

These 30,000 people are the most powerful cavalry in the world during this period. They had a name before, called "Yan Wangwei"!

This is a cavalry team selected and trained by Zhu Di for many years in the nine-border war. One cavalry team was so beaten that the Tatars fled after hearing the news and eliminated the last remaining force of Bei Yuan Guilichi. This team has never been defeated.
