After Kim Sang-hyun left, the Korean monarchs and ministers in Hanyang received bad news one after another.
The Hulu army had arrived in the suburbs of Pyongyang, but they did not attack Pyongyang, which made the Korean monarchs and ministers extremely uneasy.
Why did the barbarians not attack Pyongyang, but instead made North Korea's monarchs and ministers uneasy?
Wouldn't it be better if there was no war?
North Korea is lucky to have no war everywhere.
On the contrary, if Jian Nu attacks Pyongyang City, Li Jian will be able to live more peacefully.
It seems to be a paradox, but it is not.
The city of Pyongyang is extremely strong.
At the same time, the barbarians attacking the city will lose troops and horses, delay their journey, and buy time for the reinforcements from the south and east to come to Hanyang.
Time is most scarce now.
After all, Jiannu's cavalry marched too fast, and the distance to Hanyang from the reinforcements from the south was about the same as that of the Hulu, but if they had to be measured by their feet, it was conceivable that they would probably fall behind Jiannu.
But the Hulu did not attack the fortified city and went south lightly, which would be fatal.
In the past few days after Kim Sang-hyun left, Li Jie had ordered the princess and princes to prepare to take refuge in Namhan Mountain Fortress.
Forget about Ganghwa Island.
What if the Hulu Han army came from Incheon, so only Namhan was left.
The mountain city is a refuge.
On this day, Li Shengqiu once again reported the location of the reinforcements.
The monarchs and ministers found that they could not arrive before Jiannu besieged the city.
Inchon to the west has become the only hope, yes, the only hope.
At this time, Mingren reinforcements to protect the west have really arrived.
In the afternoon of that day, the generals guarding the city sent people to report urgently that the Ming army was only more than ten miles away from the city.
After hearing this, Li Zhu immediately became energetic and was about to go out of the city to greet him.
However, Jin Liu and others dissuaded Li Zhu, so it was better to play it safe.
So the emperor and his ministers came to the top of Ximen City and looked west.
When the group of them arrived at the head of Ximen City, they could vaguely see with the naked eye the black and red queues on the official road to the west and the flying red Ming flag.
At first, dozens of Ye Bu Suan had already rushed to half a mile outside the west gate to look at the city.
The Ye Bu Suan of the Polu Army did not care about the Korean monarchs and the Korean defenders on the city.
They looked boldly on their horses.
While they were watching the situation on the city, the North Korean monarchs and ministers were also watching the outpost scouts of the Polu Army in front of them.
"Your Majesty, these scouts are extremely elite.
Look at their full armor protection, and their mounts are also extremely powerful.
They are more than half a head taller than my war horse."
The controller guarding Ximen was talking flatteringly to Li Zhu.
Li Zhu heard this and took a closer look.
Sure enough, unlike the armor of the North Korean soldiers, these Ming people were covered in iron armor, and the horses underneath them were extremely tall and majestic, incomparable to the short North Korean war horses.
Some ministers who are good at horses have already seen it with their eyes shining.
How come such a divine horse became the mount of a scout?
What a pity.
At this time, some Ye Bushou began to fight their horses back.
These horses ran gracefully with long legs and quickly ran towards the Ming army formation several miles away.
The Ming Dynasty's military formation had already reached three miles away from the city.
Looking from the west gate of Hanyang, one could see a neat red and black military formation marching rhythmically, and the sound of booming footsteps echoed outside the city. wilderness.
When had the Korean monarchs and ministers seen such a neat and mighty military formation?
The cold light of the soldiers and armor blinded the eyes of the Korean monarchs and ministers on the city.
However, they felt that this Ming army was like a black-red sharp blade from far to near, with its sharp edge reaching the ninth level. sky.

"Let's open the city.
These are not barbarians pretending to be soldiers.
They must be the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."
Li Zhu said with a flushed face.
He finally felt relieved that the royal city could be saved.
Even Jin Liu and Li Shengqiu couldn't say anything at this time.
Most of the Hulu's cavalry armors were iron armors for protection, but such neat and uniform armor could not be Hulu's.
On the contrary, the Hulu's cavalry armor was messy. very.
The thousand-jin gate of Hanyang's west gate slowly rose, and then the west gate opened wide.
Li Zhu led dozens of civil and military ministers out to greet him.
When the Polu army was one mile away from the city, a low trumpet sounded, and with a bang, all the Polu troops stood at attention.
The team that had been moving forward majestically stopped suddenly, and the field immediately calmed down.
Only the sporadic sound of horse hooves still sounds.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves in the rear formation of the Ming army suddenly sounded, large plumes of smoke and dust rose up, and hundreds of cavalry galloped eastward.
At the front is Kim Sang-hyun and his bodyguards.
When Jin Sangxian came to Li Jie, he rolled his saddle and dismounted from his horse.
He came forward and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission and welcomed the reinforcements from Denglai of the Ming Dynasty.
I will hand over the order to the king."
Jin Sangxian was covered in dust and looked extremely embarrassed.
"Qing Jin has worked hard for state affairs, please get up quickly."
Li Zhu hurriedly helped Jin Sangxian up with a smile on his face.
"The entire Jin family has been loyal to the king for generations.
This is what Jin Sangxian should do."
Jin Sangxian stood up hurriedly.
With this performance of Kim Sang-hyun, Li Jie's view of the pro-Ming Dynasty group was greatly changed, and his trust in Kim Sang-hyun was also greatly strengthened.
Kim Sang-hyun's image of being unafraid and daring to take risks in times of danger was simply in the emperor's heart.
"Sir Jin, how many reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty have arrived this time and who will lead them."
Jin Liu, the leader of Yi Zheng, interjected at this time.
This is what the monarchs and ministers are most concerned about.
"Your Majesty, King Bing, this time the Ming Dynasty Denglai general Zhao Lie led more than 9,000 elite soldiers to come to Hanyang Qinwang."
When Kim Sang-hyun said this, he was so stubborn and filled with pride.
He has been holding it back very hard in the past few years.
The pro-Ming sect has been reduced from a major faction to an insignificant yesterday's flower.
There is no need to mention all kinds of warmth and coldness.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty also failed to live up to expectations in the past ten years.
Aid to North Korea was always pushed back and forth.
In the north, the Dongjiang generals continued to extort money and food, and sent troops to assist the attack on Jeju.
Moreover, when attacking Jeju Island, the Denglai navy was the first to escape.
This simply made the pro-Ming faction I'm speechless and can't harden my waist.
However, Kim Sang-hyun firmly believed that the Ming Dynasty would not give up on North Korea, especially if North Korea was in danger, and would definitely send military assistance.
Today, he got his wish, which also made the pro-Ming Dynasty headed by him feel proud.
He didn't know that this was all Zhao Lie's decision and that Daming was already dying.
At this time, Zhao Lie had already stepped forward surrounded by guards.
"Zhao Lie, the commander-in-chief of Denglai in the Ming Dynasty, met with the King of Korea."

Zhao Lie bowed his hands to Li Zhu and said.
Jin Liu and others showed hesitation on their faces.
They were all angry at Zhao Lie's rudeness.
Zhao Lie was just a second-grade general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, but he couldn't kneel down and bow down when facing the King of North Korea.
He was really arrogant and disrespectful.
"General Zhao has worked hard all the way, please come into the city."
Li Shu was also slightly annoyed in his heart, but he knew that he really couldn't care about anything at this time.
After all, he only had to figure out who could win.
Of course, Zhao Lie did not deliberately anger the North Korean monarchs and ministers, but he was determined to revolutionize the Central Plains.
In the future, it was reported that he, the leader of a country, knelt down to the leader of a small country.
How extraordinary was this.
"Your Majesty, please go first."
Zhao Lie bowed and extended his hand to give way.
If Zhao Lie still went ahead, he would be completely the enemy of North Korea's monarchs and ministers.
After repeated concessions, Li Zhu was the first to enter the city, and Zhao Lie entered the Hanyang Royal City surrounded by hundreds of guards.
After the group came to the palace and sat down, Li Jie of course had to express his gratitude to Emperor Ming.
In his opinion, how could Zhao Lie command so many armored soldiers to come to aid without Emperor Ming's urging.
"I'm afraid I have disappointed your Majesty.
I, the Emperor of Heaven, may have just learned about the news that the slaves have invaded North Korea."
Zhao Lie is now in Denglai.
He doesn't care too much about Chongzhen's attitude.
On the contrary, he wants to let the kings and ministers of North Korea know what will happen in the future.
It was Denglai, not the Ming capital, who decided the fate of North Korea.
Li Jun and his ministers were dumbfounded when they heard about it.
What happened?
Such a large army moved without an order.
This, this is a huge crime.
Li Jun was the king of Joseon.
If his troops moved without orders, then the restraint of such reckless actions would make the commander It's a head-turning sin.
"My Denglai agent in Liaodong received the news that Jiannu was about to invade Korea.
It was too late for me to wait for the emperor's edict, so I could only send a quick horse to report to the capital.
I led Denglai's elite to take the first step, because I You know, Korea cannot tolerate any loss, this is the moral principle of the Ming Dynasty.”
Zhao Lie's words were eloquent and righteous.
North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
What is a vassal state?
You have to keep this little brother alive before these neighboring countries can willingly become your vassal.
If you can even protect their safety.
If not, then they will all scatter like birds and beasts, and a fool is still willing to become a vassal.
This is the moral obligation of a suzerain country towards its vassal country.
If it cannot do this, what is the point of being a suzerain?
Just like the Qing Dynasty in later generations was bullied by the West and the East and could not protect itself, the vassal states of Korea, Mongolia, Vietnam, and Myanmar all fell apart.
"Thank you, General, for your kindness.
North Korea will definitely repay you.
But if the General acts like this, the Emperor of Heaven will blame him..."
Jin Sangxian was the first to calm down and said hurriedly.

"It doesn't matter.
Our Denglai army is carrying out the great righteousness of the Ming Dynasty.
I think Long live the Lord will not pursue it too much.
At worst, I will lose my official position and resign."
Zhao Lie waved his hand indifferently, which made North Korea's monarchs and ministers even more impressed.
Look at this young general, even if he was punished, he also led troops to rescue North Korea.
He was really a great benefactor of North Korea.
However, Zhao Lie understood that the imperial court was now in deep trouble and had no power to check and balance him.
"General Zhao, the Hulu troops have passed Pyongyang, so we should ask the general to lead his troops to the north to defend against the enemy."
Li Shengqiu inserted a sentence at this time.
"Well," Zhao Lie glanced at him sideways and asked Jin Sangxian, "Who is this person?"
Zhao Lie's words and expression almost made Li Shengqiu's nose become angry.
A Ming general soldier simply ignored his military judgment.
"This is Lord Li Shenggu, the military judge of our court."
Jin Sangxian and Li Shenggu have always had a bad relationship, and the tone of their introduction was a bit dismissive.
Zhao Lie understood it as soon as he heard it, oh, this is probably because he is deeply conflicted with the Ming faction. officials.
"It seems that Mr.
Li is not very qualified for the position of military judge.
Facing the tens of thousands of Hulu cavalry, Mr.
Li sent his troops out of the city to fight in the field.
Tsk, tsk, he is really brave."
Zhao Lie curled his lips and said, "How can you be so polite to the factions in North Korea that are hostile to the pro-Ming faction?"
"In my opinion, he is simply ignorant and fearless.
I wonder if Lord Li Shengqiu led the infantry to fight with Jiannu's cavalry outside the city."
You, Li Shengqiu was so angry that his face turned red, but he didn't dare to vent it because of Li Zhu's face.
"Master Li was born as a civil servant, which I have never done before."
Jin Sangxian made a quick kill.
"That's no wonder."
Zhao Lie shook his head in disdain.
Li Shengqiu's face turned purple and he suddenly softened to the ground
