From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 947

The handwriting was very sloppy, probably because she had just learned it not long ago, and it looked immature, but she tried her best.

She seemed to have poured all her emotions into it, but there were only a few simple sentences.

"They are very good at fighting. The big guy kept chasing me yesterday. Fortunately, I ran fast."

"Man, your woman was bullied. When will you come to help me?"

"I believe you can beat those big yellow-haired guys. In Xingyao's eyes, you have always been a hero."

"When we first met, the moment you walked out of the dark wind and snow, you were already a hero in my heart."

Zhou Yuan put away the letter and smiled faintly.

Xingyao obviously didn't know how to say sweet words. Her compliments seemed stiff, awkward, and pretentious, but her feelings were sincere, which was enough to move Zhou Yuan.

"Please reply to my letter and tell her to take good care of herself, not to take risks, and wait for me to go north."

Hearing this, Wanyan Daichan nodded slightly and said, "I will wait for you too."

No matter how reluctant she was, she had to go.

The long wind blew up her skirt, her black hair fluttered, and her back looked unusually thin.

Zhou Yuan rode on his horse, shouted loudly, and headed west at a high speed.

A faint sadness was only a short-lived emotion.

When Zhou Yuan saw the mighty army coming from afar, his heart became heroic.

"Marshal! Marshal!"

"We are here!"

Song Wu and Liu Daguang took the lead and galloped over.

Many generals in the rear followed closely and shouted loudly.

The sound of horse hooves broke, smoke and dust rose, and were blown away by the long wind.

"Meet Marshal!"

Song Wu, Liu Daguang and others quickly dismounted and half-knelt down.

Zhou Yuan jumped off his horse and waved his hand, saying, "Don't give me that. I've been holding it in for so long. I can finally stretch my muscles. Are you ready?"

Song Wu said loudly, "We've been ready for a long time. The battlefield in the south is really thrilling. We are so excited. Now we are going to fight the island pirates. The brothers are all very energetic."

Liu Daguang smiled and said, "Except for the defense of Shenjing, I have not really participated in a war. This time I must fight a good battle."

Speaking of this, Liu Daguang couldn't help but said excitedly, "General Jie, don't forget the elite camp. They are here too."

"What?"

Zhou Yuan looked up and saw a group of strong men riding horses, wearing heavy armor, holding heavy weapons, with sharp eyes and full of murderous intent. The momentum was really unstoppable.

"Boss! I'm here!"

Guan Dayong waved the Fang Tian Huaji in his hand and played with great vigor.

The elite camp has expanded to 800 people, all of whom are carefully selected strong men, all of whom are about 1.9 meters tall, wearing special armor, like war machines.

Most of them have been baptized by bloody battles on the grassland and have long become real warriors, able to kill the island bandits directly.

"Good, good!"

Zhou Yuan said loudly: "Although we only have 20,000 people, it is enough to fight the island bandits."

"In this battle, I want you to show the prestige of the country and beat the island bandits so that they will never dare to leave the island again!"

Countless soldiers roared to the sky. Seeing Zhou Yuan, their military spirit was as solid as iron, and their fighting spirit soared countless times.

This is the influence of the leader.

"Let's go! Go south!"

Zhou Yuan roared and took the lead.

The route this time has been planned, and Huang Taiji also gave the same mark.

From Shanhaiguan, through Liaodong Dusi to Jiuliancheng, across the Yalu River into Goryeo, temporarily stationed in Yizhou for two days to rest, and then went to Samjuri to meet the Holy Mother Sister.

The last few isolated cities of the Li Dynasty, hundreds of isolated soldiers, rested in the town there.

As for the situation in Goryeo, Zhou Yuan was still waiting for information.

On the first day of November, he set out from Liaodong Dusi, a total of 640 miles, and arrived at Jiuliancheng on November 12.

Before crossing the Yalu River, the information from the God Bird finally arrived.

The thick stack of letters made Zhou Yuan feel at ease.

He frowned when he opened it from the beginning.

Since the beginning of August, dozens of turtle ships of the island pirates set out from the northwest coast of Kyushu Island, went north through Iki Island and Tsushima Island, and divided the troops into three routes, landing in Donglai, Yunan, and Shuntian respectively.

After slaughtering the people along the coast, the Suncheon troops moved to the west coast, quickly occupied Gwangju (a metropolitan city in South Korea, not the Gwangju in the Central Plains), and then stationed in Damyang.

After occupying Yucheon, the Oknam troops quickly stationed in Jinju and Namwon, joined the Suncheon troops, and headed north to Jeonju.

The Donglai troops looted along Gimhae, Masan, and Samga, and finally went to Daegu.

For three months, the island pirates sent out large troops in batches, constantly increasing their presence in Goryeo, attempting to completely occupy the peninsula.

At present, their army is divided into two groups, stationed in Geumsan, Yeongtong, and Mungyeong.

AndThe army of the Jin Dynasty fought in Jiksan, Chungju, Wonju, and Lizhou, trying to defend Seoul.

The troops in Pyongyang, Hwangju, Haeju, and Gucheon were also shrinking southward, planning to fight with all their strength.

But the problem arose. A genius boy suddenly rose from the northeastern border of Goryeo, led the rapid occupation of Baiyan, Jingcheng, and Mingchuan, and swept through Danchuan and Fengshan with the momentum of a tiger descending from the mountain, and has become a force that cannot be ignored.

Now the Jin Dynasty has island bandits in the south and civil strife in the north. Surabaya, Xinxing, Hamheung, and Xichuan are in danger, and the country is already doomed.

"Damn, there is really a young genius!"

Zhou Yuan frowned and opened the next letter.

Sure enough, the rise of the young genius was described in detail.

Ah? Zhang Bailong?

Another Zhang Bailong!

Born as a poor peasant, he learned to read by working as a servant in a landlord's house and borrowing some books.

When he was sixteen, that is, the year before last, he was robbed by the Jurchen cavalry and hid in the mountains.

After the Jurchens withdrew, at the beginning of this year, he returned to the village, raised his arms and called for an uprising with 24 villagers. He grew bigger and bigger, like a snowball, and now has an army of 240,000.

Well, you are really good at bragging. I would consider you a big shot if you have 40,000.

Zhou Yuan sneered and continued to look down, frowning more and more.

This person attacked the city but did not occupy the land, plundered money and food but distributed them to the poor peasants, so he continued to expand the team.

Moreover, the team has clear levels, strict discipline, detailed reward and punishment measures and functional sectors.

This is obviously a mature army, one level higher than Zhang Bailong's peasant soldiers at the beginning.

No wonder Huang Taiji was praising it.

The key is that this person is only eighteen years old...

What a monster!

Li Jingzhi? This is probably not his real name, but a name he took later.

The other party did not seem to be in a hurry to advance, but stationed in the Fengshan area to recuperate and wait for the winter to pass.

Step by step, steady and steady, with both external annexation strategies and internal structural construction.

Therefore, although the power has grown rapidly, there is no lack of foundation, loss of morale, or internal rifts.

This time, the situation in Goryeo may become more complicated due to the appearance of this young genius.

It is necessary to reunite with the Virgin Sister as soon as possible.

Zhou Yuan frowned, and there was obviously more worry in his eyes.
