Chapter 961 Afterglow of the Empire (17)

Jiaofang Division?

A brothel specially set up by the government.

After all, in the feudal era, there were many sins that could be wiped off and cleared without the death of the person concerned, and the wives and daughters had to pay back together.

And not everyone can patronize the Jiaofang Division, only officials are eligible.

In front of Liu Ting, he said that he wanted to book a place to visit his mother, wife and daughter in the Jiaofang Division, who could bear it?

What's more, the imperial court has not yet convicted him, and the dignified admiral Ann can be humiliated by this? Looking at the handsome flag that was torn into two pieces on the ground, and hearing the insolent laughter, Liu Ting immediately picked up his big knife and slashed at Chen Lin.

All the generals have shot to stop.

Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, not to mention that there are so many stars gathered here, almost the moment Liu Ting showed his killing intent, he was detected and blocked.

"Don't hold back, let go!"

"Old boy, if you don't behead someone's head today, go back to Bashu to nurse the child!"

Chen Lin was afraid that Liu Ting would pretend to be a turtle, so he directly raised his neck and spread his hands, as if he was at his disposal.

Not to mention, after being restrained by the generals, Liu Ting was really scared. The navy was so miserable by himself. As the chief general of the Liangguang water battalion, Chen Lin was so excited and out of line. , and myself...

"enough."

"Right and wrong, we have our own opinions." Lu Li stopped Chen Pho from provoking, and said with a half-hearted smile:

"The sage is wise and mighty, and will give the navy an explanation."

Hearing this, Liu Ting's face became even more gloomy.

Offend the entire navy system?

This crime is to cultivate the peninsula for a long time, and the veteran admiral Magui can't bear it.

But he had just arrived, and he hadn't made any achievements.

The so-called fame of aiding North Korea depends entirely on a mouth that can boast——

After the Battle of Bitu Pavilion, the Ming army was short of food and clothing, and starved to death. Seeing the good men lying in the snow far away from their hometown, all of them became skinny, sick and hungry, Li Rusong didn't want to fight again, so he chose Soldiers rest.

But Li Chaoren didn't feel distressed. He felt that it didn't matter how many Ming officers and soldiers died. It was justified to recover more land that belonged to his family. Various arrangements were made for Li Rusong, describing him as unusually mediocre, trying to arouse blood.

At this time, Liu Ting, who hadn't made any great achievements in the war, also began to secretly talk small things, preaching what would happen if I were the admiral...

It is true that he gained a lot of presence and impression points, and in addition to his meritorious service in guarding the south and guarding against the Burmese in his early years, Emperor Wanli felt that he could be used at this juncture.

That's all.

It is said that the old boy has made great achievements in the war, almost all of which belong to the old Huangli, and many of the merits and demerits are offset by the crime of repeated bribery.

In the end, Liu Ting, who looked extremely embarrassed, was left behind, and all the sailors left.

As for why the navy was harmed, the reasons are very complicated.

First of all, he was unwilling to use his direct descendants to fight against the Japanese. Except for Miao Bing, most of the rest were accumulated by him after operating in Bashu for many years.

That's why there are means of deception and acting.

Seeing Ben Duo Zhongsheng break out of the siege, one plan failed, so he made another plan, coaxing the sailors wandering in the sea to come over and use them to consume the enemy.

Moreover, Lu Li, who is full of credit, also made Liu Ting jealous. I have been on the battlefield for so many years, and I have not lost in two battles. I have not had any outstanding achievements.

Why do you guys have such good luck?

Lu Li morally condemned Chen Lin's decision to bring his colleagues to the Jiaofang Division to take care of Liu Ting's family and daughters, but thinking about it in his heart, he felt relieved.

Helping him so wholeheartedly, but repaying him so much? !

Those brothers who died for no reason are all heroes, and they are full of blood to kill Japanese...

Sue this guy!

As for Liu Ting's clansmen, Lu Li didn't bother to take care of them.

At this moment, he was really fed up with the dirty tricks of the Ming army's internal calculations and secret stumbling blocks. It was better to lead an army alone to guard the dead city of Nanyuan than to work with Liu Ting and his like.

Frankly, if he had cosplayers in his battalion, he would have hoped to avoid being disgusted.

Because of the above-mentioned small tricks, Liu Ting has used them in history. The opponent is the head of Xiaonishi, and the perpetrator is Chen Lin——

The sufferer has not changed!

It's a pity that only by studying this battle deeply, focusing on the battle of Shuncheon, and referring to various sources can we find out the clues.

Nowadays, the land and water armies are at odds with each other.

There is no chance of cooperation.

After Lu Li boarded the flagship, he immediately wrote a letter to Wanli to sue Liu Ting, detailing the old boy's crimes, referring to Ding Yingtai who overthrew all the officers and generals who aided the DPRK with a single shot, and said that he would beheaded to comfort the soul of the sacrificed sailor.

However, the pleadings did not mention the overall morale of the sailors. Although it would be a way to put pressure on the court, Lu Li was unwilling to do so.

This move is killing one thousand enemies and harming eight hundred. The emperor is not an idiot, and will send a special envoy to investigate.

That afternoon.

Liu Ting, who had no intention of fighting for the time being and was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath, suddenly saw spies rushing to report that the Japanese army had begun to destroy the city.

Destroy the city?

I'm afraid I'm not mistaken, it's fortification.

However, after Liu Ting personally led the troops to reconnaissance, he found that the spies were right, that is to destroy the city.

Honda Tadakatsu is commanding the Japanese soldiers and slaves to quickly dismantle the West City.

Destroying the city from the inside is much faster than bombarding it from the outside. Liu Ting, who was already in trouble, didn't dare to act rashly because he didn't know what medicine the Japanese general sold in the gourd.

In the evening, when the sun was about to set, he finally understood that Honda Tadakatsu built a very wide gate here after demolishing a small section of the city wall, and the road was specially leveled.

what for?

Liu Ting guessed.

Lu Li, who was at the other end, was limited by his location, and the Japanese priest deliberately covered it up to prevent outsiders from investigating, so he didn't know about it at all.

The West Route Army did not intend to report the situation, and even Quan Li, who was extremely independent, was restricted and could not communicate with the navy for the time being.

The next day, early morning.

A group of Japanese army knights rushed out from the new gate, first rushed to the front of the Ming army camp, fired a few symbolic shots, then turned around and ran towards the east.

Because of the repeated orders, the prohibition of sending troops without authorization, and the reason of contacting the navy, the generals of the Ming army did not want to be put on small shoes by the admiral, so they did not let their subordinates seriously pursue them.

Later, Liu Ting asked about the number of Japanese soldiers, and when he knew that there were only twenty cavalry, he didn't take it seriously.

At night, Li Chaoyi's army, who had been ranked at the bottom of the battle order, realized that something was wrong.

It turned out that in the south of Sacheon surrounded by the Central Route Army, there was a place called Liuguanbao, on which a beacon was set up, called Santianhoufeng.

As far as General Li Chao knew, this beacon had been abandoned for a long time, but this night, it lit up into the sky.

What's even more strange is that after the fire came out from the [Three-day Houfeng], the castle tower located at the highest point of Suncheon Wajo Castle also lit a beacon.

The beam of light is extraordinarily grand.

It is obvious that the two groups of Japanese are cooperating with each other.

What happened to Sacheon, which the Central Route Army was going to attack?

Why did the Shuntian defenders communicate with them?

The most important thing is, what does Liu Ting, a gangster, want to do?

In fact, the small group of Japanese cavalry that went out in the morning did not have any strategic goals, and they went straight to the vicinity of Sacheon at lightning speed.

After inquiring about the latest battle situation of the friendly forces, a grand beacon was lit at Fengfeng three days later, and the situation was reported to the main general Honda Zhongsheng in the direction of Suncheon through primitive means.

There's no way, I really can't keep it...

Just like when Liu Ting was fooling Lu Li in his heart before, as long as the two armies are willing to work together, Shuntian will definitely be taken down!

Since you can't hold this place, then go.

After all, I am loyal to the Tokugawa family, and there is no need to fight to the end for Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and retreating to Sacheon is the best solution for Honda Tadakatsu.

The small group of elite cavalry sent out in the morning was to investigate the situation and see if the situation allowed.

And as soon as the fire was raised, Honda Tadakatsu immediately understood everything——

If the conditions are right, the city can be abandoned.

Lu Li was belatedly aware of this phenomenon, and after detecting this phenomenon, he was very worried.

What are the Suncheon pirates planning?

What was the situation of the Ming army that attacked Sacheon?

If the tragedy repeats itself, the morale of the Japanese people will definitely be greatly boosted. In addition, they have not suffered any big losses in terms of military strength, which is very likely to be detrimental to the coalition forces.

With this in mind, Lu Li immediately dispatched a considerable fleet to Luliang and Zhangdao to block the sea route between Sacheon and Suncheon.

On the other hand, Li Chao responded quickly. Although Marshal Quan Li was not aware of the battle situation of the Central Route Army, he instinctively judged that the situation was not optimistic. He quickly sent more than a thousand people to guard Chanjin to monitor the Japanese army.

All the generals, including a small number of cosplayers who went to the West Route Army, are worried about two things:

1. The Central Route Army was defeated.

2. The news reached Liu Ting's ears.

Facts have proved that the old boy is not worthy of any praise. He is an opportunist. He used a few years to grind his lips and disguise himself as an iron-blooded fighter.

Liu Ting, who didn't have any fighting spirit in the first place, heard any bad news, and feared that the last half of his aggressiveness would dissipate in his heart.

After thinking about this, Quan Li chose to leave:

"Everyone take care, I'm going to keep an eye on the direction of Sacheon."

At the time of the expedition, he was the one who was being courted by the three admirals of the Ming army.

However, the king Li Yan didn't know anyone, so he was deceived by Liu Zhen, who seemed to have thick eyebrows and big eyes and a strong fighting spirit, but was actually full of ghosts.

After experiencing all kinds of disgusting incidents, Quan Li felt that his stay here was meaningless.

Sure enough, after Li Chao's battalions withdrew, Liu Ting, who vaguely sensed something was wrong, ordered the army to move out overnight, and then, like the commander, the Shu soldiers who had no fighting spirit couldn't wait to start retreating.

At night, Liu Dadao felt that the withdrawal speed was too slow, so he directly ordered that the food and equipment that could not be transported in the future be thrown away.

The speed was beyond Honda Zhongsheng's expectation.

The next day, he stood at the top of the city and looked at an empty fortress. He couldn't believe that the Ming army had just retreated. Combined with the fact that Liu Ting used to pretend to be negotiating, he acted to deceive himself...

"trap."

"It must be a trap!"

It was not until the time passed, the sun had completely set, and many spies came back, that Honda reluctantly accepted the news that Liu Ting had retreated in a panic.

In fact, Dong Yiyuan's Central Route Army was only defeated because of Peng Xingu's self-righteous assertion that he led his black soldiers and Beijing soldiers to attack the city gate and failed.

The player must have tried his best to stop the general's cannon from detonating the gunpowder magazine after it exploded because no one was taking care of it.

Therefore, the battle in Sacheon was not as good as Honda Zhongsheng imagined, it was just that they could provide support, and it was not as bad as Liu Ting thought, so they would not retreat in a hurry.

Chen Lin, who was far away at sea, planned to launch another attack tomorrow after asking Lu Li for instructions, but when he heard the news that the Ming army on the ground was retreating, he immediately cursed:

"I'd rather be a ghost of Shuntian, and I can't bear to follow your example."

Lu Li also had the same intention, so he ordered the whole army to stay overseas and not return to the division.

Liu Dadao should change his title to Papao. He ran much faster than the navy generals imagined. In one day and one night, he led tens of thousands of troops and retreated to a small town north of Suncheon:

rich.

This place is not far from the Nanyuan that Lu Li used to defend, and it is now under the control of the coalition forces.

When he stopped, Wang Shiqi, the military supervisor guarding Nanyuan, arrived and pointed at Liu Paopao and scolded him: "You bastard, how dare you retreat without a fight? Go back to me quickly, otherwise, a cowardly The crime of war cannot escape, ransacking the house and destroying the family!"

In order to restrain Liu Ting, Wang Shiqi also took down two Miao generals, Wang Zhihan and Si Maoguan, as if to behead them in public.

This is really...

You know, the West Route Army tried to fight Shuntian once, but in the end, the Miao soldiers showed great strength and showed tenacious combat effectiveness, becoming a fig leaf for Liu Ting and Shu soldiers.

However, the pressure did come.

Completely offending the navy and being targeted by the "bully" Chen Lin, Liu Ting was already terrified, but now if he offends the military supervisor sent by the imperial court, his seventy-year-old mother, forty-year-old wife, beautiful and doting concubine, and even his daughter are really good. Distribute Jiaofang Division.

With ten thousand reluctances in his heart, Liu Chen, who made up his mind not to die against the sky, nodded helplessly and went south. If it wasn't for Lu Li's insistence on Honda's loyalty, he would have let this Dongguo Wushuang run away. up.

It's a pity that after climbing to the old city of Suncheon, Liu Dadao refused to move his nest.

After some questioning, Wang Shiqi, the military supervisor, also knew what stupid things this guy had done, so he directly arranged for Wang Zhihan and Si Maoguan to guard the old city, and the rest were stationed outside the city.

Liu Ting and his team were escorted by Wang Shiqi to a building complex closest to Suncheon City——

Shuangyan Temple.

Move a little further, and you can attack the city with the help of the General Cannon.

Originally packed his luggage and picked up the baggage that the Ming army had discarded earlier, and planned to take advantage of the lack of naval forces and run away overnight, Honda Zhongsheng, seeing that Liu Chen didn't play cards according to common sense, came back to look at him again, anxious in the city Jump your feet.

After packing up the things, we only need to meet up with the allies in Sacheon, and then we can discuss about returning home.

Stay here and fight the Ming army to death?

Just kidding.

It is true that he is the unparalleled warrior recognized by the warriors, but he is not a fool, and there is no benefit in fighting to the end.

This time, another letter came to Lu Li.

Water and land go hand in hand?

Chen Lin sneered at this.

Lu Li, who made up his mind and made a decision, stared at the letter and Chen Ken's words on it. He fell into hesitation. To be honest, he was tricked several times in a row. He had deep feelings for Liu Ting and even the entire West Route Army. Contempt and distrust.

But the person who signed it was Wang Shiqi, the supervising army, so this is difficult...

"Whoever is running for this matter, whoever shows sincerity, first set up a battle to attack Suntian."

Regarding this response, Wang Shiqi nodded in agreement and asked the messenger to deliver the letter again.

Then, he gave Liu Chen a hard look, and secretly scolded the old boy for being so shameless, he was so unwilling to give even the most basic trust to his allies!
