The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 297 The Plans of the Grassland Tribes

As long as he remained within Goryeo territory, he might still have some chance. However, if he were truly sent to Yingtianfu, his chances of returning to Goryeo would be extremely slim. Thinking of this, his expression turned grim.

Said hurriedly.

"Your Highness Prince Jin of the Great Ming Dynasty, I have developed an attachment to this place and do not wish to leave Goryeo. May I continue to stay here?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Zhu Gang of Jin's face turned icy.

"Your Majesty is mistaken. After this battle, there are still quite a few remaining rebel forces!"

"If they find the King of Goryeo, it could seriously endanger his personal safety, which is something we don't want to see!"

"Furthermore, His Highness the Crown Prince has praised the King of Goryeo's wisdom and martial prowess, and has long desired to meet him, but has never had the opportunity. Now that he can meet the King of Goryeo, I believe His Highness the Crown Prince of our Great Ming will be very happy!"

King Goryeo was terrified upon hearing this. King Jin Zhu Gang meant that if he stayed in Goryeo, he might be assassinated at any time. As for who the assassin was, that didn't matter. King Goryeo felt that King Jin Zhu Gang was too terrifying. He couldn't stay in this place, otherwise he might be doomed. After thinking about this, he smiled and said.

"I have long heard of the brilliance of the Ming Emperor!"

"Now that such a good opportunity has come up, I absolutely cannot miss it. Please introduce me to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Zhu Gang of Jin nodded in satisfaction. This guy was quite pragmatic; that was good, as it saved him the trouble of doing things himself.

Soon, the Ming army began to be stationed throughout Goryeo. At this time, the people of Goryeo were resentful because the Goryeo king had been levying taxes and extorting money from them.

Now that they heard that the Ming army had come to their rescue, they were all very happy. Only some powerful families were unwilling to lose their power and wanted to rebel, but they were no match for the Ming army and were quickly defeated. At this time, the Mongol tribes were extremely surprised to learn that the Ming army was attacking Goryeo. The leaders of the tribes gathered together.

At this moment, a tribal chief spoke in a low voice.

"The Ming army has already begun its attack on Goryeo. Goryeo is still very important to us. Without Goryeo, we have no way to reach Japan!"

"In other words, our alliance is meaningless; we must help Korea no matter what!"

Upon hearing this, the tribal chiefs all nodded.

At this moment, someone said in confusion.

"But with our current military strength, can we really help Goryeo?"

"If we go to help Goryeo, won't Hua Yunlong, who is stationed in Liaodong, directly send troops to attack us? And don't forget that Feng Sheng is also stationed in the west!"

"If we withdraw too many troops, it could have a huge impact!"

At this moment, the leader of the Tuohuochi tribe said with a smile.

"Don't worry, the Ming army is definitely not that big. This time it must have been separated from Japan. The army is probably just trying to intimidate Goryeo!"

"If we don't send troops now, Goryeo will think we've abandoned them, and then they might withdraw from the alliance!"

"All the hard work we've put in over this period of time has gone down the drain!" "So all we need to do is make a show of it. There's no need to send out many troops. Can't the local Korean army handle these Ming troops?"

After hearing this, everyone nodded and thought about it carefully. It seemed to make sense. No matter how strong the Ming army was, it was impossible for one to defeat a hundred. Goryeo, as a country that had existed for many years, should still have some ability.

So several tribes gathered an army of forty to fifty thousand and marched in a mighty procession to Goryeo.

In fact, each tribe didn't need to bring so many troops. Of course, some people had their own ulterior motives. Unlike their own region, Goryeo was not a place plagued by constant war. Instead, Goryeo had a lot of food. They might take the opportunity to plunder more things by bringing more people. After all, they came to rescue Goryeo, so it shouldn't be unreasonable for them to plunder some things.

After having this idea, many of their subordinates began to increase the number of people entering Goryeo this time. At this time, Feng Sheng and Hua Yunlong already knew about this matter, and Hua Yunlong snorted coldly.

"Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince told me in time that these guys are truly ungrateful wretches, and it's good to teach them a lesson!"

"Didn't they mobilize an army of forty or fifty thousand? Let's just wipe them all out!"

"Men, immediately dispatch all armies to secretly march north, and then we'll surround this army!"

One of his generals hesitated for a moment upon hearing this before speaking.

"My lord, if we do this, we won't have many troops left to defend our side. What should we do if these Mongol tribes attack us?"

Hua Yunlong smiled and said after hearing this.

"Don't worry, you've considered all of these things, do you think His Highness the Crown Prince hasn't?"

"Once I lead my troops away from here, Duke Feng Sheng of Song will bring his army to take over the defenses around here. Given Duke Feng Sheng's prestige, these guys won't dare to make any rash moves!"

Now that they had no worries, they all breathed a sigh of relief and began to move in that direction.

At this time, the Mongol army was heading east and was about to reach the border with Goryeo when suddenly the scouts sent out rushed over.

"Generals, something terrible has happened! Goryeo has been destroyed!"

Several tribal generals were shocked to hear this, and one of them immediately shook his head.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Goryeo was a country with hundreds of thousands of troops. Were they all pigs? How could they be wiped out like that?"

Others were also somewhat hesitant to believe it.

They then stopped at this place and sent their men to scout out the situation. The information they received was the same: the Goryeo Kingdom had been destroyed, and everyone was extremely saddened.

Originally, I was thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to make a quick buck, but who could have imagined that it would turn out like this? Things probably won't be so easy to handle from here on out.

Just then, the general of the Tuohuochi tribe said with a smile.
