Pi Island, this is a small island of more than ten square kilometers. The island is covered with snow and the sea surface near the island is covered with ice. The large ships of the Zheng family naval fleet are moored on the sea surface. Li Guodong's "housekeeper" and Wang Quan's "caravan guards" board the Pi Island in a small boat.

Li Guodong sat in the general officer hall of Dongjiang Town. Opposite him was Chen Hongfan, the general sent by the court to reinforce the situation. Li Guodong knew that Chen Hongfan was also a strange man. In his early years, Zhang Xianzhong was also an official army of the Ming Dynasty and a general under Wang Wei. He violated military law and was killed on the crime. However, Chen Hongfan saw that his appearance was strange, so he pleaded with Wang Wei. Zhang Xianzhong was beaten with a hundred military sticks and drove out of the camp. Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong's military paintings included a portrait of Chen Hongfan, called him the rebirth of his parents. This was just one thing, and another thing that Li Guodong could not tolerate: after Chongzhen's death, the Hongguang court united the enemy to defeat the enemy, and Chen Hongfan was also a member of the mission. When he was on a mission to the Qing Dynasty, Chen Hongfan secretly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and after returning from the north, he became a traitor of the Qing court.

At this time, Chen Hongfan had certainly not become a traitor in the Qing court, but Li Guodong knew that Chen Hongfan would leave his soldiers and escape in the upcoming Battle of Pidao.

In fact, we didn't expect the soldiers of Pidao to do much. After Mao Wenlong's death, the soldiers of Dongjiang Town had long dispersed and never fought a decent battle again. The Qing army and the Korean navy attacked the Korean navy, including the Korean navy and the Qing army Wuzhenchaoha camp, Tianyou army, and Tianzhu army attacked head-on, Oboi and Junta led the Eight Banners heavy infantry to the island to attack. As a result, the Ming army was defeated and lost Pidao.

Shen Shikui, the garrison general of Pidao, looked at Li Guodong and said happily: "General Li was grateful to him for leading his troops to help. He has long heard that General Li has repeatedly defeated Jiannu and won every battle. Being able to assist General Li gives our army the confidence to defeat the enemy and win."

Li Guodong bowed and replied: "General Shen, Li temporarily landed on Pi Island because the soldiers were bumping on the sea for a long distance and took a rest. In a few days, they will go to Jianghua Island first to rescue the Korean royal family and the family of ministers, and then come back to Pi Island to help you defend the island. But the real main force of the island guarding is the Zheng family fleet outside. As long as they defeat Jiannu and the Korean navy, even if the Eight Banners Cavalry is fierce, they will have no choice but to do anything to Pi Island."

A jar of fine wine was moved to the island by the "caravan guys". The Ming soldiers who disguised themselves as guys carried baskets of frozen hard beef and mutton, chicken, duck, pork, and chilled yellow croaker to the island, and shared the wine and meat with the Ming army stationed on the island.

The ordinary soldiers on the island didn't know that Wang Quan's caravan was actually the Ming army, and only knew that the one hundred cavalry of Li Guodong were elite servants of General Li, the hero of the slave.

Several pits were dug out on the snow, ignited a bonfire, and put all kinds of food into the pot. The entire island was immediately filled with the aroma of meat.

"Brothers, I'm just a guard in the caravan and often go to naturalization. A few years ago, Jiannu occupied naturalization and cut off our business path. What we admire most is the officers and soldiers who killed Jiannu." Zhang Shiwen opened the wine jar and greeted the Ming army in Dongjiang Town who guarded the island.

"Oh, there is an order in the army that no drinking is allowed." A small Ming army official sniffed the fragrance of fine wine, swallowed his saliva, and said cruelly.

"Dear heroes, your superiors have all drunk with General Li in the official hall. Come on, come on, you guys are drinking together."

"General Li is a great hero who has repeatedly defeated Jiannu. How dare we compete with General Li?"

"Oh, you are all heroes who fought Jiannu with Marshal Mao back then. What I, Zhang, admire most is the heroes who fought Jiannu! Come on, come and drink."

Han Dashan greeted the officers and soldiers of Dongjiang Town and said, "Everyone is a hero. We are also a soldier. Don't you drink too? Let's have a few bowls together."

The little official was shocked and said, "You are heroes under General Li's command. Killing Jiannu's corpses everywhere is so satisfying! What kind of virtues do we have? How dare we drink with all the heroes?"

"All of you are all heroes from Liaodong, aren't you?" Han Dashan asked with a wine bowl.

"When Mao Shuai was there, we were also very powerful. Alas, it's a pity that Mao Shuai was killed by the thieves who secretly connected with Jiannu! After Mao Shuai was gone, our Dongjiang Town lost his backbone and never fought a decent battle again. There were even thieves who rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, and even Jinzhou was lost."

"Stop talking, I just escaped from Jinzhou. General Huang died for his country. Jiannu almost slaughtered all the soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou. Tens of thousands of lives were gone. Fortunately, I was proficient in water and swam back." A veteran with a scar on his face was filled with tears in his eyes and cried.

"All brothers are all heroes who kill Jiannu! Although we are caravans, we have also killed Jiannu. Come on, brothers, I have done this bowl!" Zhang Shiwen picked up the wine bowl.

Han Dashan pointed at Zhang Shiwen and introduced to the Ming army in Dongjiang Town: "This guy has also killed five Jiannu heads!"

"That's amazing!"

"You can tell at a glance that he is a hero who killed Jiannu!"

"I heard that the shopkeeper of this caravan is General Li's brother. General Li's people are all heroes!"

"That's it! The Battle of Tongzhou, the Battle of Datong, and the Battle of the Frontier, tens of thousands of Jiannu were killed. How could the Ming Dynasty have such a powerful general who killed slaves?"

Zhang Shiwen bowed and said, "Shame, compared to General Han, Zhang is just a small person! The Jiannu killed by General Han himself is at least 100! He is the most elite Ye Wushouzheng in the Ming Dynasty."

"General Han is indeed mighty!"

"That's right, it would be great if we could be half as powerful as General Han."

"It's still half powerful? It's okay to have a total of 10,000 yuan! One percent will kill ten Jiannu, who can do it?"

A Ming soldier asked, "General Han, I heard that Jiannu had attacked North Korea and was about to attack our Pi Island? Is there no such thing?"

Han Dashan said: "Jiannu hated you Dongjiang Town for a long time. Pidao poses too much threat to Jiannu. They have long wanted to destroy you! But the Jiannu Navy was too weak. Last time Kong Youde rebelled, although he brought the Navy, he was beaten by General Huang to suffer heavy losses. Now if Jiannu got North Korea and the North Korean Navy, he would definitely invade."

"What are the things that Koreans are afraid of?" Zhang Shiwen snorted coldly.

"The Goryeo is nothing, but what if Jiannu came on the Goryeo boat?"

Zhang Shiwen pointed to the Zheng family army fleet moored on the sea and said, "Don't be afraid. If Jiannu came to fight on Goryeo ships, there would be General Zheng's fleet, no matter how many Korean people came, they would be guaranteed to be back and forth! Jiannu who took Goryeo ships would let them all be buried under the sea!"

At the Hanyang City, not far from Pi Island, the Qing army had defeated the 40,000 Korean troops outside the city. More than 3,000 Korean soldiers were killed and more than 8,000 surrendered. The remaining Korean soldiers were all so scared that they fled back to Hanyang City and never dared to leave the city again.

The five thousand cavalry of Duoduo and Yuetuo also arrived. Before Huang Taiji's main army arrived, the Qing army had only more than 5,000 people outside the city. However, although the number of Korean troops in the city was large, they did not dare to leave the city at all. However, the Qing army was small after all and could not siege the city. The Korean king and officials in the city still had a chance to escape.

In Hanyang City, North Korea's In-zu Lee Seung convened civil and military officials to consult countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, the Jurchens are powerful, we can't beat them at all! Your Majesty should take refuge in Ganghua Island." Kim Sang-hyun said.

Cui Mingji, an official from the Lord's Peace Sect, said: "Your Majesty, the Jurchens are coming in full force. We should reconcile with them. We might as well recognize the status of the Qing Dynasty as the lord."

"Our North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. How can we betray the Ming Dynasty and surrender to the barbarians? The Jurchens are barbarians. We should arrange His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the families of all officials to take refuge in Jianghua Island. Only then can we fight the Jurchen Tartars with peace of mind." Jin Shangxian said.

Wu Daji, Yin Ji, Hong Yihan and other officials of the main war faction also submitted a report saying that they would fight the Jurchens to the end.

Finally, Li Yu issued an edict, ordering Zhaoxian's crown prince Li to retreat to the Nanhan Mountain City with himself, the concubines in the palace, the other princes and the families of the ministers to send them to Jianghua Island.
