At dawn the next morning, the army set foot on the road to Gaizhou on time.
Last night, the meat of more than a thousand war horses was almost completely wiped out. Today, even if the journey is urgent, but with the supplement of enough horse meat yesterday, even for women and children, there is not much physical problem.
Li Yuanqing is also in a good mood, riding on a tall brown horse, scanning the long dragon which is slowly moving south.
The flood has been over for several days, the ground has been dry and solid, although the team is huge, but finally do not need to go deep and shallow in the mud.
In addition, the goods and materials carried by each person are not much, and they are basically light and easy to follow. According to the prediction, they can arrive in Gaizhou city in the evening.
Through the news from Gaizhou reinforcements, Li Yuanqing also roughly understood the cause of the flood.
This should be the local bad microclimate caused by the sea storm rolling inland.
Fortunately, Gaizhou city is located in a good location and is mostly no man's land, but it has not suffered much damage.
After Chen Zhong led the elite of this department to the end, Li Yuanqing also had more time to think about the next step and how to go.
Although Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong didn't exactly fulfill Mao Wenlong's request and delay the plan of the main force of Houjin, it was the end of May from the beginning of May, which was no less than a month.
In addition to the impact of the flood, the old slaves and the main force of the later Jin Dynasty also needed time to rest and adjust. In this way, Mao Wenlong should not be affected by other main forces of the later Jin Dynasty except for the white flag of Huangtaiji.
According to Mao Wenlong's shrewdness, Li Yuanqing still believes that it is basically impossible for Huang Taiji to catch Mao Wenlong, even if Huang Taiji is brilliant.
Especially in Kuandian mountains.
The early summer offensive of the five years of apocalypse is almost coming to an end.
Although there was not much material gain during the trip, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong emptied Haizhou city and plundered more than 30000 Dingkou.
As a result, Haizhou and Gaizhou, together with Fuzhou, Jinzhou, the South four guards, have basically become "no man's land.".
Gaizhou.
There should be little room for old slaves to pursue.
After all, Gaizhou is close to the sea, and it is too close to Changsheng island. It will be exposed to the military front of Changsheng island at any time.
According to the state of affairs at this time, the old slave must not dare to jump out and pick Li Yuanqing's troubles and find himself unhappy.
As for Haizhou.
Once upon a time, there was no human hair in Haizhou at this time. I was afraid that even a mouse would not be born. The old slave wanted to restore Haizhou's vitality. It was not for a few years.
However, Li Yuanqing did not intend to leave Gaizhou city easily without getting accurate information from Mao Wenlong on the eastern front and exploring the main trend of the old slaves in the Qing Dynasty.
Including the war report of this battle, he must make careful planning before making a decision.
………
The journey was very smooth. In the evening, the team arrived outside Gaizhou on time.
In the rear, although there were many rear gold sentries following like thieves, they always kept a distance of more than three or four or even four or five li away from the Ming army, and they would never dare to rush forward.
Li Yuanqing is also too lazy to pay attention to these skilled horsemen.
Let the old slave be able to grasp his own preparation trend, also can let this old thing more at ease, want to make a decision, also have to consider carefully.
When they returned to Gaizhou again, they were in a good mood.
However, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong did not have much time to rest. Their return to Gaizhou was just the beginning of another new battle.
The first to bear the brunt is the problem of camping and bathing.
The officers and soldiers of the two departments do not have to say much. In less than a quarter of an hour, the command of Li Yuanqing will reach every grass-roots soldier's ear.
But these Han slaves and women and children are really a headache.
In particular, all the way from Haizhou city to now, no one has the opportunity to take a bath. The health problems are really worrying.
Fortunately, the weather is hot at this time, men can go directly to the river to take a bath, saving some trouble.
As for the women and children, Li Yuanqing asked the engineers to build several rows of grass sheds for them overnight to serve as bathrooms.
And increased the intensity of hot water to ensure that everyone, after bathing and changing clothes, entered Gaizhou city again, and did not bring germs into the city.
From the evening has been busy to after midnight, things on the track, Li Yuanqing has finally had some rest time.
However, the population is so large that it will take at least three days to get everything done.
But at this time, he was already in Gaizhou City, backed by the sea and the fleet. Li Yuanqing was not guilty at all. The old slaves and the main force of the later Jin Dynasty dared to come here to find him trouble.
Back in the official hall, Liu Qiao and Shu Murong have already prepared the night snack for Li Yuanqing.
The dish is very simple, a large plate of crisp fish, a plate of salted fish fried eggs, and a plate of fried shredded radish.With the continuous consumption of so many people, coupled with the loss in the war and in the way of retreat, Gaizhou's grain supply is not too abundant.
Liu Qiao helped Li Yuanqing fill a glass of wine, "Ye, all the way tired, you drink a glass of wine, to solve the lack of it."
Li Yuanqing took the glass and tasted it lightly. He looked at Liu Qiao and Shu Murong: "qiao'er, Mu Rong, this battle is hard for you."
Liu Qiao busy way: "can share the worry for the Lord, is the maidservant biggest honor."
Shu Murong also busy flattering way: "Ye you must not say so, can serve in the Ye side, the maid heart joyful tight that."
As Li Yuanqing's women, Liu Qiao and Shu Murong are much better than ordinary people in terms of treatment. Although they do not have a carriage, they have horses to ride. Although the retreat is a bit rash, they are not hurt and tired too much.
Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile, "the difficulties have passed, everything will be OK. Come on, let's have a drink
………
After a simple supper, Li Yuanqing didn't have much time to enjoy the tenderness of his wife and concubine. He walked quickly to the front yard of the official hall, where Chen Zhong had been waiting for him for a long time.
In recent days, the high intensity of the migration work, nerves and high tension, even Chen Zhong such as iron man, also some can not support.
He reclined on the imperial chair in the official hall and said to Li Yuanqing with a smile: "Yuanqing, I wanted to have a good drink to celebrate, but this body bone is like falling apart. That's a damn thing
Li Yuanqing laughed, "big brother, we are not iron men. We need rest after all. There's not much to do tonight. Let's fix a few big things first. "
It was Mao Wenlong's plan to go to the south of Liaoning Province.
In the court, although Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong had records, they did not want to report their achievements too early.
There are several key reasons.
At this time, both Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong had already been the chief military officer, and each had his own rank of honor. In the military territory of Liao, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong had stabilized their position in western Liaoning, not to mention Dongjiang. In terms of military ranks, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong had already reached the same level as Mao Wenlong.
As the saying goes, "people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.".
Especially at this time, in the imperial court, Duke Wei became more and more prosperous, and the eunuch party had basically suppressed Donglin.
As members of the "eunuch party", Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong need to be cautious.
Li Yuanqing is very clear.
To a large extent, this "sunrise" is not a good thing.
The Duke of Wei, who was born as a peasant and was very good at calculating his life, was different from the future emperor Chongzhen.
His purpose of courting Li Yuanqing is very clear, that is, because Li Yuanqing can win the war.
To a large extent, it can add to his political chips.
For a long time before, Li Yuanqing also grasped this point, and with the help of sun Chengzong, he climbed all the way, jumped off the Dongjiang River and became a member of Chen Zhong in southern Liaoning Province.
But at this time, the situation has changed.
The so-called "prepare for a rainy day.".
It would be unwise to hold Duke Wei's thighs when he is at the height of the sun.
As the old saying goes, "things go against the extreme.".
Not to mention, Li Yuanqing is familiar with history, and he is clear that there are few days left for Duke Wei's good days.
Therefore, Li Yuanqing didn't want to rush to the top of the success report in southern Liaoning. Instead, he had to wait for the news from Mao Wenlong to make a final conclusion.
Even more heads should be given to Mao Wenlong.
This kind of private political layout, as the saying goes, is "Chuangong", even comparable to rebellion. However, for the sake of long-term consideration, Li Yuanqing has to be cautious.
Of course, the key premise is that he and Chen Zhong firmly control the core of these two teams.
Chen Zhong soon understood Li Yuanqing's meaning, "Yuanqing, do you mean that we should give some to the commander-in-chief?"
Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile. That's what it means. Big brother, our brother, you can say what you think
Although Chen Zhong is "simple", he is not stupid. Otherwise, how can he and Li Yuanqing go all the way to the present?
Looking at Li Yuanqing's bright eyes, Chen Zhong's physical fatigue disappeared. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Yuanqing, you, you mean, we won't go with Duke Wei now..."
Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "elder brother, it's not that we don't report to Duke Wei. After all, we are still the people of Duke Wei. But, this matter, had better let the commander in front. After all, our brother, in terms of prestige, means and qualifications, is far from comparable to the commander-in-chief! "
Chen Zhong certainly understood what Li Yuanqing meant.
This battle was initiated by Mao Wenlong. He and Li Yuanqing are both maowenlong's former subordinates. They are both in love and in reason. Naturally, they are all Mao Wenlong's.In addition, even if the two people's false names were more serious, according to his old man's temperament, they could not give them too much practical benefits.
On the contrary, it's better to give it to Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang's brothers.
"Yuanqing, I have no problem with this. What's more, these 1500 level leaders are mostly cut down by the children of the Changsheng camp. Yuanqing, what do you do? I'm on your side. But if we do this, we may lose money in this battle? "
Li Yuanqing slapped Chen Zhong on the shoulder with a smile: "big brother, between you and my brothers, there is no need to be empty words. As long as someone is there, what is the silver? Don't worry, brother. I'll make up for the loss as soon as possible! "
………
Chen Zhong left, but Li Yuanqing fell into deep thinking.
Although the previous words have been made clear, Li Yuanqing suppressed the most important point, a problem that he did not want to think about, but had to face formally.
At this time, although he and Chen Zhong were at their peak, Daming was still the world of literati!
As long as the Ming Dynasty's rule of using literature to control military affairs will not waver in the year of apocalypse.
Before, in many things, Li Yuanqing had touched the taboo of governor yuan. At this time, sun Chengzong was on the verge of falling, and the eunuch party was so rampant and pressing. If Li Yuanqing touched yuan's bad luck again, would he not be allowed to write it down in Xiaohei's book?
At this point.
To a large extent, Li Yuanqing has actually been honest with governor yuan.
In other words, it is not difficult to force yuan Wanqing to step down from office.
After all, sun Chengzong has not stepped down yet, and sun Yuanhua has not been forced away by Yuan supervisor.
However, governor yuan is a talent!
If he didn't come to break this rule and teach others how to behave, how could Li Yuanqing gather Dongjiang and gain higher rights?
