At the turn of spring and summer, the wind is still howling in Liaodi, and the climate is abnormal.

The north wind passed through the jungle, making a whistling sound, blowing on the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army as they walked, making it more and more cold.

Hearing about the battle situation in Guangning, Mao Wenlong consulted the left military supervisor of the imperial court, specified a battle strategy, and decided to go out of the island to fight again.

This time, their target was the city of Uiju, where Mang Gurtai led the Jianju Zhenglan Banner to station, which belonged to the border of Korea.

Mao Wenlong's name was to ask for instructions, but Wang Tiqian also knew that they didn't want to let themselves talk about the battle situation at all.

That request was just a step down for myself.

Wang Tiqian once saw the famous Liaodong Jinglu Xiong Tingbi when he announced the decree in Liaoyang, and at that time, the latter's attitude made him dare not compliment.

Until now, Wang Tiqian still thinks that the experience is really embarrassing and abnormal, and it is a black spot that is difficult to erase.

After all, it was not the first time he came out, Mao Wenlong was extremely familiar with this area, and quickly selected a location as a temporary camp for the troops.

It was once a Liao village, destroyed in the war a few years ago, and is located on the slope of the hill behind the woods, and the scorched bones can still be seen under the cover of dust and sand.

The reason for choosing this place is that the woods in front of it can cover the whereabouts of the army, and secondly, because it is located halfway up the mountain, which is condescending and can be attacked and defended.

Among the soldiers brought out by Mao Wenlong at this time, some of them had lived here for generations.

Everyone in the Dongjiang Army knows that the current situation in the imperial court is not easy.

From April of the first year of the Apocalypse, the emperor sent a special army to the island, and after understanding the situation on the island, it was convenient for the Beijing division to raise 40,000 stones from Liangxiang, enter the sea from Tianjin, and send it to Phi Dao.

After that, the emperor decreed that the post of governor of Denglai was specially established.

After Yuan Keli went to Penglai to take office, the first thing he did was to desperately strengthen the supply contact with the Dongjiang Army.

Mao Wenlong once heard from the people who came to deliver grain from Denglai how Yuan Keli made up the 120,000 stones of grain and grass.

He used the generals sent by the imperial court to buy rice with merchants, and most of them were sent to the Dongjiang River, and the rest of the soldiers in Denglai and Laifu were still stretched thin.

Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong, who was standing on the camp wall, secretly clenched his fists, Xiong Tingbi was the main Liao, and Yuan Keli caressed Denglai.

Since the fall of Liaodong, the people's livelihood inside and outside has withered, grain and cloth have been spent but not produced for many years, and the imperial court has different degrees of arrears and grain arrears in various towns.

In this case, 160,000 stone of food was squeezed from between his teeth.

Although the grain of 160,000 stones before and after this is not much, these grains are more touching to Mao Wenlong than the previous 500,000 stones and 1 million stones.

Just thinking about it, there was a sudden movement outside, which made the surrounding Dongjiang generals become nervous.

After a while, a small group of straw men walked out of the woods, and the leader of the army lifted the grass covering his head and returned with the rest of the people.

This Wu commander, whose name was Li Shiji, was originally from Shaanxi, and he later moved to Haizhou, and at the end of last year he joined the island with a group of Liao people.

Mao Wenlong saw that he had a bright eye and was brave and daring to fight, so he appointed him as the leader of a small team of sentinels.

When Li Shiji came back, he didn't know what kind of news he was carrying, sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Mao Wenlong watched the group return to the camp on the camp wall, and suddenly asked, "Why did you hang the lottery?" ”

Li Shiji was stunned for a moment, and then threw the bloodstained saber in his hand to the ground, and said dejectedly: "General, the little one is incompetent, this time I could have saved a group of Liao people." ”

Mao Wenlong didn't say anything.

At this time, Mao Chenglu stepped forward and tore off the rags on Li Shiji's shoulders, and in an instant, blood was dripping.

When he saw that the wound in the middle of the body was already pus, he asked:

"How's it going, does it hurt?"

Li Shiji gritted his teeth, but shook his arm, squatted on the ground and cried:

"It doesn't hurt, it's just that those Liao women were all taken captive by slaves. I—Why can't I be saved! ”

Mao Chenglu smiled, noncommittal, then turned his head to look at Mao Wenlong, and said in a deep voice: "General, it's an arrow wound." ”

"Did you meet the Tartar's whistle horse?" Mao Wenlong looked down and asked quietly.

"Yes, in a village ten miles away from Yizhou City, Mang Gurtai has just received a report from the old slave from Quang Ninh, saying that the war in Xiping Fort is difficult and he wants him to watch us."

"Mang Gurtai was scolded by the old slave, hated our army for stirring up the situation in the back, and tried to take revenge, slaughtering the Liao people in Zhuangnei and the Korean men."

"Xiping Fort... That's Luo has always been guarding, he is a fierce man, if the strength is equal, the old slave may not be able to beat him. Mao Wenlong muttered a few words, and then asked:

"You took the initiative to save people?"

"General, if you see an innocent woman being chased and taken captive by slaves, can you stand by and watch?" Li Shiji was a little unconvinced.

Mao Wenlong glanced at him and said coldly: "When is it now, is it important to save these women, or is it important to recover Yizhou?" ”

"Li Shiji, you have been with me for almost half a year, and the Tartar's head has also been cut a lot, with your military exploits, you should be a thousand presidents, do you know why you are still a military commander until now?"

"I don't know, little one...", Li Shiji muttered sullenly.

"It's unclear!" Mao Wenlong was angry without warning, "Don't say that outside the city of Yizhou, that is, in the entire Liaodong, how many people are slaughtered every day?" ”

"Help, did you save it!?"

"This time out of the island, the Holy Lord has high hopes for my Dongjiang, if something bad happens because of you, you can't take down Mang Gurtai's dog head. Don't say that you, even me, are also worthy of the kindness of the saint to the Dongjiang River! ”

Li Shiji was terrified, and hurriedly said: "General, the little one knows that he is wrong, and he will definitely not act without permission in the future!" ”

Mao Wenlong put away his temper, his words were still calm, and he said softly: "Let's make meritorious contributions!" ”

"What else is there to say?" At this time, Mao Chenglu asked.

Li Shiji waved his hand, brought a Han man wearing the armor of the Houjin Army, and said, "General, this is a small fake slave who escaped on his own initiative." ”

The fake slave was escorted forward by his own soldiers, and knelt down directly with a "poof".

"I really didn't know that the general was here, I didn't want to kill the people with the Jurchens, so I escaped from Uiju and went all the way east, just to defect to Phi Island and tell the general the movement of the Jin army..."

"I didn't expect to meet the general here..."

Mao Wenlong was unmoved, and did not say a word, but he was thinking in his heart that this person was sent by Mang Gurtai to spy on our army because Li Shiji had exposed his whereabouts.

Mao Wenlong had to guard against this possibility.

In recent years, Hou Jin learned a lot of tricks from him to spy on and infiltrate, steal camps and rob villages, if this person is really Hou Jin, there will be a large force behind him to ambush.

After a long time, Mao Wenlong looked at him and sneered: "If you can escape, your life is really big." ”

"Tell me about your news."

The fake slave tried his best to prove himself, and hurriedly said: "Mang Gurtai decided to slaughter in Yizhou, so he led a large army to invade Phi Dao, which is true!" ”

Mao Chenglu said: "How many people? ”

"There are 8,000 armor-clad tartars, less than 1,000 slaves, and 20,000 Han people, driven by it."

Hearing this, Mao Wenlong sneered a few times again and exchanged glances with Mao Chenglu.

Mao Chenglu pulled out his saber and put it on the neck of this fake slave, his killing intent suddenly rose, and he asked:

"You kid doesn't blink your eyes when you tell lies, how did I hear that there are more than 10,000 people in the Zhenglan Banner in Yizhou, and tens of thousands of fake slaves?"

"Say! I can't tell you why, I'm going to cut off your head! ”
