Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

In the end, Meiji decided to switch from offense to defense and stabilize the front on Kyushu Island.

After all, it is better to fight on Kyushu Island than on Honshu Island. Therefore, after suffering a loss, the Meiji Army and the Tokugawa Army stabilized the front near Kitakyushu.

It's just that now the Tokugawa army is taking the initiative to attack, and the defenders have become Meiji.

At this time, Tokugawa was no longer in a hurry. He felt that Meiji and Daxia should be anxious now.

Meiji is anxious because he has now become the disadvantaged party, and Daxia... isn't Daxia eager to take over those minerals?

Since he is anxious, let Daxia continue to bet on himself!

This was Tokugawa's idea, so after he gained the advantage, he ordered the Kitakyushu front to fight slower.

After Lin Yi heard Tokugawa Qingxi's order from Koizumi Jiro, he smiled indifferently.

Tokugawa Qingxi hoped that the fight would be slower, so why didn't he want more people on Tokugawa's side to die?

Therefore, Lin Yi sent electricity to Koizumi Jiro and asked him to do what Tokugawa Yingxi asked him to do.

However, he also constantly provokes battles between Tokugawa Keki and Meiji. In other words, we must ensure that Kitakyushu fights every day and cannot stop!

Koizumi Jiro, who had long regarded Lin Yi's words as an imperial edict, immediately agreed.

Afterwards, Lin Yi no longer paid attention to the war on Kyushu Island, and he turned his attention to Zheng Zaixu of Goryeo.

At this time, Korea was also in a state of chaos.

First of all, a key figure is Li Xi.

After Li Xi was rescued from Meiji by Lin Yi, he returned to Seoul.

Li Xi was already very old at this time, and he had never had any ambitions.

When she was young, the power of Goryeo was in the hands of Concubine Min. Later, the Sakura people came.

Concubine Min was killed directly, and Li Xi was sadly taken to the Cherry Blossom Kingdom.

And now, although he has returned to Seoul and became the king of Goryeo, he knows very well that he is still, maybe still a puppet.

Li Xi no longer expects to be in charge of Goryeo. He just thinks that he can live his life peacefully, which is not impossible.

Therefore, in fact, Li Xi knew his position very well, and he completely messed it up as soon as he returned to Seoul.

It was not until Cui Dongxu and Zheng Zaixu had conflicts that Cui Dongxu took control of Li Xi one step ahead of Zheng Zaixu.

At this time, Cui Dongxu obviously wanted to imitate Cao Cao of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and wanted to hold the emperor hostage to control the princes.

Li Xi did not resist. In his opinion, as long as he did not resist, there would be no reason for others to kill him.

To put it simply, he welcomes everyone who comes and sees off everyone who leaves, trying not to offend anyone.

In this way, Li Xi began to live a life of drunkenness and dreams again in the hands of Cui Dongxu.

Cui Dongxu really had no reason to deal with Li Xi, and seeing how cooperative Li Xi was, he ignored Li Xi and started to target Zheng Dongxu instead.

In fact, even at this time, Cui Dongxu did not have the arrogance to think that after occupying Goryeo, he would have the strength to challenge Daxia. This was the reason why he and Zheng Dongxu had been in confrontation for so long but still did not start a war.

Because he knew that he could be hostile to Zheng Zaixu, but he could not show hostility to Daxia, otherwise he would be ruined as soon as Daxia sent troops.

On the surface, Daxia really had no reason to send troops to Goryeo to deal with Cui Dongxu.

However, Lin Yi knew very well that Cui Dongxu was definitely not willing to live under others for a long time, and Lin Yi would not wait for Cui Dongxu to be disrespectful to Daxia before dealing with him.

Therefore, Lin Yi decided to secretly support Zheng Dongxu. The problem is, Zheng Dongxu is a better person than Cui Dongxu, but he is not a good person either.

In fact, people sent by Lin Yi to contact Zheng Dongxu reported that Zheng Dongxu seemed to want to use Cui Dongxu to threaten Daxia.

In this way, Lin Yi said that the Korean stick is not good at all, and gave him a smile, so he couldn't tell the priority.

Therefore, Lin Yi asked Zhao He to order the people who came into contact with Zheng Zaixu to withdraw directly and let them have a fight first to let Zheng Zaixu know that it hurts.

Sure enough, when it was reported from Pyongyang that Daxia and Zheng Zaixu had broken down, and Daxia's envoy returned home overnight, Cui Dongxu decided to launch an attack on Zheng Zaixu.

In October 1902 AD, Emperor Dekang of the Great Xia Empire, the autumn of the fourteenth year of Yanqing.

Cui Dongxu, who occupied Seoul, was summoned by King Yi Xi of Goryeo to raise [-] troops in Seoul to attack Zheng Zaixu.

Zheng Zaiwook, on the other hand, issued a telegram in Pyongyang, accusing Cui Dongxu of deceiving the superiors and controlling the king Ri Xi.

At the same time, Zheng Zaixu also announced that he was raising troops and issued the slogan "Invade Seoul and rescue Emperor Gaozong."

Calling on all the people with lofty ideals in Goryeo to join his team.

Although the slogans were shouted loudly, very few responded.

As for the reason, at this time, Goryeo was very poor and the people at the bottom were still hungry. Who would care about who of you beat whom?

Seeing that not many people responded to him, Zheng Zaixu continued to shout the slogan of dividing the land, and then recruited [-] new soldiers.

Coupled with the strength of the four divisions he originally controlled, his strength surpassed Cui Dongxu, but how much combat effectiveness this has is a question mark.

On the last day of October, Cui Dongxu's first division and second division set out from Seoul and smashed hard at Zheng Zaixu like two fists.

The three new divisions deployed by Zheng Zaixu on the front line were instantly defeated and retreated to Pyongyang.

Zheng Zaixu had no choice but to lead three elite divisions to attack. The two sides launched a decisive battle in Kaesong.

Since the elites in the hands of Cui Dongxu and Zheng Zaixu were transformed from the previous Goryeo servant armies, the combat effectiveness of both sides was similar.

However, Zheng Jae-wook initially concentrated more troops in Kaesong than Cui Dong-wook, so Zheng Zai-wook had the advantage and suppressed Cui Dong-wook as soon as the battle began.

However, just when Zheng Dongxu felt that Cui Dongxu was nothing more than that, and was about to push all the way to Seoul, news of the fall of Pingkang suddenly came to the east.

Only then did Zheng Zaixu know Cui Dongxu's plan. He wanted to use himself as bait to drag Zheng Dongxu into Kaesong.

Cui Dongxu's main force had already bypassed the main battlefield and attacked Pingkang County, and also wanted to cut off Zheng Zaixu's retreat from Pingkang County to the west.

Seeing that he was about to be surrounded, Zheng Zaixu was also very decisive and gave up Kaesong directly, wanting to retreat to Pyongyang to defend.

But what Cui Dongxu was waiting for was Zheng Zaixu's retreat.

When he saw Zheng Zaixu retreating, he immediately issued an order to counterattack. Under his order, four divisions belonging to Cui Dongxu launched a comprehensive counterattack against Zheng Zaixu.

Suddenly, Zheng Zaixu's troops were completely defeated and ran wildly.

The defenders stationed in Pyongyang, watching Zheng Zaiwook being chased and beaten by Cui Dongxu, rejected Zheng Zaiwook's request to enter the city.

Zheng Zaixu was furious on the spot and cursed the Pyongyang defenders as white-eyed wolves. Then Zheng Zaixu prepared to order an attack on Pyongyang and wanted to take Pyongyang back.

But Cui Dongxu didn't give him this chance at all. Before Zheng Zaixu's team spread out, Cui Dongxu's pursuers arrived.

Zheng Dongxu didn't even fight Pyongyang this time, and continued running north with his people, and didn't stop until they reached Anju.

Seeing Zheng Dongxu running into Anzhou, Cui Dongxu was worried that it would irritate Daxia, so he ordered to stop.

Although Cui Dongxu did not order to continue the pursuit, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cui Dongxu won this battle.

And Zheng Zaixu will only die soon.
