Du Xun wanted to cry without tears. He came to other people's territory, with only more than 2,000 soldiers around him, and he had to ask the king of others. Isn't this Chunchun seeking death? He still felt that it was not enough to go to seek death on his own initiative, and he had to pull himself in. What's the matter! He was a military supervisor, and he had been in trouble for eight lifetimes.

After hearing Zhou Xian's narration, Kim Sang-hyun was stunned. From his heart, he was full of anger towards Lee Seung himself. His important officials were taken away by the other party as prisoners, and as the King of Joseon, he did not dare to stop him. Such a cowardly person was indeed not worthy of being the King of Joseon. But as long as he did not abdicate for a day, it would be a symbol of North Korea. If he was questioned as the King of Joseon, his face would naturally be lost.

Since the Bingzi chaos, the Ming Dynasty was isolated from the diplomatic relations between North Korea. In Jin Shangxian's impression, the governor of Denglai was Yuan Keli a long time ago, who was an important official of the Ming Dynasty. The person who claimed to be governor of Denglai was only a young man under the age of twenty. He was really unbelievable from the bottom of his heart. But the latter commanded the army to destroy the 1,000 Qing troops, including the 300 bannermen, happened in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe it. He hesitated for a moment and said to Zhou Xian: "May I ask the envoy, can you please read the emperor's edict?"

Zhou Xian pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Jin, this edict was given to King Lee Seung of Korea by His Majesty of our country. You were not qualified to read it. But I respect your solar term, and I will make an exception today." As he said that, Zhou Xian took out the edict from his arms and handed it to Kim Sang-hyun solemnly. It was written by Emperor Chongzhen in the past, but Zhou Xian did not expect it to be used so soon.

Kim Sang-hyun took it respectfully, knelt down and bowed west three times before slowly unfolding. He looked carefully for a long time, his face changed slightly, and finally handed it back to Zhou Xian. "I have read it below. I'll ask you a question, what should I do next?"

Zhou Xian said without hesitation: "Lead troops outside Seoul to read the emperor's edict."

Jin Shangxian's face changed slightly, he glanced at the surrounding area and said, "Empress, I think the soldiers you are carrying should be only about 2,000! Do you want to go to Seoul with just these soldiers? It's not me that I'll attack you. Although there are only 3,000 defenders in Seoul, there are about 15,000 troops near the capital. Although they are no longer in the capital, after getting the news, they can reach Seoul within half a day. I feel that it is inappropriate to directly question the king of our country, so it's better to use a more gentle method."

Du Xun was already extremely frightened, and at this moment he quickly advised: "Yes! Zhou Junmen, this matter must be discussed for a long time and long time. Once a war is caused, we two cannot afford the consequences!"

Zhou Xian looked at Kim Sang-hyun and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Jin, I want to ask you, do you think if I, Chen Bing outside Seoul, would the King of Joseon Lee choose to go directly to war with me, Daming?"

Seeing Zhou Xian throwing the hydrangea to him again, Jin Shangxian remembered Li Yu's cowardice, pondered for a moment, and said, "He probably won't, but the other generals can't tell."

Zhou Xian gently shook his sleeves and smiled and said, "As long as he ordered the two countries to go to war, what else can I be afraid of? Moreover, since I can destroy Yingyi and the war will start, I will not be afraid at all. However, my Ming Dynasty and the Korean vassal have been with me for more than 200 years. Emperor Chongzhen is kind and willing to give Li Ju a chance to repent. And the purpose of my visit this time has been told to the husband, to ask him for guilt. If Li Ju is ungrateful and chooses to start a war, then next, my Ming Dynasty will regard him as an enemy and continue to send troops to Korea until he withdraws from the throne."

Kim Sang-hyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Empress, do you really have to do this?"

Zhou Xian nodded and said, "To be honest, I don't want to go to war with North Korea directly. But I was forced to do so, so I must go to Seoul this time. But I have a suggestion that I may avoid expanding things, but I need your help."

"Please say it."

"Please tell me about the situation of the troops stationed near Gyeonggi. The country has nearly 20,000 troops in Gyeonggi, but our army has only more than 2,000 people. If a war begins, I have no chance of winning. But if a sir can tell me which generals of these troops are dedicated to my Ming Dynasty. I can send people to contact them in advance to put pressure on Li Gu. Harmony is the most important thing in everything, and if I don't need to use troops, I can complete my mission, and of course I can't ask for it."

Kim Sang-heng thought about it, and nodded deeply without doubt. Then, he spent nearly an hour introducing the situation of troops stationed around Gyeonggi, as well as the character and character of the soldiers leading the troops from various units. Zhou Xian occasionally interrupted and asked a few questions, most of which involved the city defense of Seoul. Although Kim Sang-heng felt that Zhou Xian didn't seem to need to know these things, he hesitated for a moment in order to show respect for the envoys of the superior country, but finally said it.

The results of the battle were counted. Half of the 1,000 Qing troops were killed in battle and half were captured. Among the nearly 500 prisoners, there were thirty-nine bannermen and more than 400 Qing soldiers. Zhou Xian had nearly 300 casualties, most of whom were killed in battle during the process of clearing out the bannermen led by Baleha. The strength of the Qing people's combat power was a bit beyond Zhou Xian's expectations. When they were suddenly attacked and completely at a disadvantage in the military strength, they actually caused basically equal losses to the enemy. If they were good at cavalry battles, the outcome was really unknown.

In addition to these direct results, Zhou Xian also obtained five hundred horses, worth tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver, more than 400 armors, and countless weapons. There were eight Korean ministers who were to be escorted back to Liaodong by the Qing army, two of whom unfortunately died in the previous chaos, and six people, including Kim Sang-hen, were rescued.

Zhou Xian called several generals who were in charge aside and briefly described the situation of the battle to them. After hearing this, Gao Yi laughed and said, "Military Sect, these people can't help but fight! They were basically destroyed by us."

Tan Shimai focused on the five hundred military horses and said to Zhou Xian: "Military Gate, can those horses be divided into me? You have long said that a team of infantry, a thousand-man team must have two hundred cavalry. So far, I haven't even touched a single horse's hair!"

Gao Yi quickly answered and shouted: "Yes! Military Sect. I made this suggestion! You are not allowed to be refusing to pay."

Zhou Xian smiled faintly and said, "Okay, okay, all these are easy to say. But we have been drifting on the sea for nearly a month and ate cold rice and cold water for half a month. Now that we have achieved such a small amount of results, are you all satisfied?"
