The grain has just been shipped.

Li Cheng, who was stationed in Baozhou, then sent someone to deliver a message.

It is said that the number of Jin soldiers on the other side of the Yalu River is increasing.

Chapter 3120 The Guarded Golden Men

Kim Bu-sik looked north and muttered to himself:

"Let's have a match soon,"

"It doesn't matter who wins."

"It's frustrating to just waste time without fighting."

.....

Jin Kingdom, Posulu City (Dandong Jiuliancheng).

Wanyan Zonggan plundered a large number of people, goods, and grain from Goryeo.

They have happily returned to Beijing.

Upon receiving news that the Ming Dynasty had stationed troops in Baozhou and Pyongyang,

This time, however, it was Wanyan Zongfu who came.

In the hearts of Song people in another time and space,

The Jin Dynasty had four crown princes who commanded troops.

They are: Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongfu, and Wanyan Zongbi.

Zongfu and Zongbi,

He had been by Aguda's side for a long time.

Actually, it's more about developing domestic policy skills.

Zong Bi was none other than the famous Jin Wuzhu.

But he frightened Zhao Gou into fleeing Yangzhou.

Up until the battles of Search and Rescue, Huangtiandang, Fuping, and Heshangyuan,

He was actually serving as Zongfu's deputy in all these battles.

The true strategic commander,

Actually, it was Wanyan Zongfu.

And the later emperors of the Jin Dynasty,

Most of them are descendants of Wanyan Zongfu!

This year's Bojilie Conference

Wanyan Zongfu was neither competitive nor greedy.

He only managed to get the position of Eulshit Bogire (Vice Prime Minister in charge of foreign affairs).

He seemed to be a nobody.

But as long as Wanyan Zongfu makes a sound...

Everyone in the Jin Kingdom had to give them face.

Because when Aguda was still alive

Various military and political orders from the Jin Dynasty

Most of them had to go through Wanyan Zongfu's hands.

Wanyan Zongfu was fair in his dealings.

He is kind and honest.

In the case of treating everyone equally,

All factions owe others favors.

However, this fellow dislikes arguing with people.

They are even unwilling to get involved in factional struggles.

The Ming Dynasty is now stationing troops south of the Yalu River.

Wanyan Zonghan needed to guard against Shanxi.

Wanyan Zongwang needed to guard against Hebei.

Wanyan Zongfu, who disliked causing trouble, had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

He also brought his henchman, Jin Wuzhu.

To conquer Liaonan and northeastern Korea for the Jin Dynasty

Xie Mao Ali made the greatest contributions in battles such as the encirclement and annihilation of Yelü Yudu.

The current situation is described as follows:

"Ever since the Ming army stationed themselves in Baozhou,"

"It's right here at the seaport at the mouth of the Yalu River, where we're reinforcing and expanding it."

"And there were more than forty warships,"

"Patrolling back and forth along the lower reaches of the Yalu River."

The so-called forty-odd warships here

Most of them are inland waterway vessels.

From the downsized Dongting Lake naval force.

Due to the small size of the ship

They were brought over directly tied to the large ship.

Wanyan Zongfu asked, "Have you sent anyone across the river to investigate?"

Xie Mao Ali said, "We've inquired about it."

"The six cities east of the Gangdong River in Goryeo,"

"Our army took away most of the population,"

"The grain has already been moved out,"

“The Ming army did not garrison those mountain towns.”

Wanyan Zongfu confirmed:

"Only Baozhou City on the other side,"

"Are there Ming Dynasty troops stationed there?"

Xie Mao Ali said, "Yes, the Ming army only occupied Baozhou City."

"Regardless of the mountain towns under the jurisdiction of Baoding Prefecture."

“Even Anzhou City further south,”

"The Ming army did not station any troops there either."

"What are your thoughts?" Wanyan Zongfu asked.

Xie Mao Ali said, "The Ming army's intentions are very clear."

"The plan is to cross the river from Baozhou and head north,"

"We do not intend to take advantage of this situation to occupy Goryeo's territory."

Chapter 3121 The Territory of the Jin Kingdom

Jin Wuzhu, who honestly followed his brother,

He then asked, "Since the Ming army only wants to advance north,"

"Why station troops in Pyongyang, which is further south of Anju?"

Xie Mao Ali is familiar with the geography of this area.

Immediately state your understanding:

"Perhaps they are afraid that our army will launch an attack from Helan Road,"

"To further coerce and manipulate the Goryeo army."

"Let's circle around to the south and attack Baozhou City together."

Wanyan Zongfu rode out of the city on horseback.

Arriving at the Yalu River, he pointed to the opposite bank and said:

"This place is perfect for crossing the river,"

"Did the Ming army not build fortifications on the shore?"

"No, they're probably trying to lure us into attacking the city."

Xie Mao Ali guessed.

Posuru City and Baozhou City,

They are separated by the Yalu River by twenty miles.

South of the city of Posulu in the Jin Kingdom,

There are numerous islands formed by the alluvial deposits of the Ai River.

These river islands,

They are densely and irregularly distributed.

The Ming army's large warships won't be able to get in.

Small warships are also very easy to ambush.

If the Jin soldiers wanted to cross the river,

It's quite easy to take advantage of the terrain.

However, if the Ming army builds two fortified villages on the opposite bank,

This would cause great trouble for the Jin army crossing the river.

Wanyan Zongfu muttered to himself:

"Neither occupy the mountain city,"

"Nor will they build fortresses on the shore."

"This is a waste of manpower and resources, a sign of laziness in dividing forces."

"It is estimated that once the Ming army has stockpiled enough military provisions in Baozhou,"

"They will cross the river and head north to attack Posuru."

"Brother, should we take the initiative to attack?" Wanyan Zongbi asked.

Wanyan Zongfu sighed, "I'm afraid we'll have to transport the soldiers and provisions across the river."

"The Ming navy is about to cut off our retreat."

"These islands and continents in front of us, while advantageous for our army to set up an ambush,"

"But we simply don't have that many warships."

"By then, the Ming army had cut off their retreat route,"

"Our army will only survive until our supplies run out,"

"We must capture Baozhou City first."
