After resting for a while, when the soldiers were ready to go, Li Yan's forward had arrived, and his face was full of dust, Chang Yu ordered his subordinates to go first, and went to see Li Yan.

Li Yan, a pioneer, traveled lightly and quickly, only bringing dry food, and at this time, he was just in time for Chang Yu's department to pull out the camp and picked up some leftover soup to drink.

"The latest information, Li Zicheng's army has been besieging Baoding Mansion for three days" The two went to a willow tree next to the road, and saw that the new sprouts were sprouting, tender and yellow, Chang Yu stretched out his hand to break a branch, and his face was solemn.

Li Yan didn't know what to say for a while, but he just looked at his subordinates who were resting in the distance, his heart was mixed, but his face was equally dignified.

"What do you think?" Chang Yu looked at Li Yan, when manpower is always poor, no matter how good and calculating he is, he only has one head after all, but the generals around him are more powerful but less wise, but only Li Yan is resourceful, so he came to ask.

Li Yan exhaled a long breath and thought for a while: "He's waiting"

"What are you waiting for? Wait for Bento? Chang Yu was stunned.

"The thieves are coerced by the displaced people, although the momentum is huge, but in fact, there are also suffering, all the way to the east only in and out of the stall no one can bear it, he is now in urgent need of a war to consume the pressure, the reason why the siege is not fought may be to wait for the people of Baoding Mansion to help but do it first, or wait for the reinforcements of the imperial court to fight a fierce battle, maybe just wait for the defenders of Baoding Mansion to surrender" Li Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Anyway, I am waiting, as for what to wait for, I don't know, but I gave us time."

Chang Yu nodded slightly: "The reinforcements are in Dezhou, Shandong recently, close at hand, Zhou Yuji has also arrived in Dingzhou, he is not in a hurry to do it, either he doesn't put the officers and soldiers in his eyes, or he just wants to do a big job, the lion opens his mouth to wipe out all the surrounding officers and soldiers" said hehe sneered: "I'm afraid I don't know that the governor is here again."

Li Yan chuckled: "Maybe it's waiting for you."

"That's why he bothered to worry about it" Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Yan: "General Li can retreat from the enemy?" ”

Li Yan lowered his eyebrows and drew a circle on the ground with his feet: "What a portrait of the Qing army during the battle with Ningyuan."

"But there is no mountain to refuse and no danger to defend outside Baoding Mansion, and it is difficult to quench your thirst when it is far away!" Chang Yu frowned.

"But the thief army does not have an invincible iron horse like a Tartar!" Li Yan smiled slightly: "And it is possible to fight Wei to save Zhao."

Chang Yu nodded silently, Li Zicheng is now in power all over the Central Plains, and he is guarding various cities, if he can besiege Baoding Mansion, then I can pull out his men and horses everywhere one by one!

"Where's the Divine Machine Battalion?" Chang Yu asked again.

"It is estimated that I have touched the vicinity of the capital" Li Yan was slightly stunned, the Shenji Battalion collected troops from outside the customs and returned to Beijing, because the artillery was too heavy, the trip was slower and still after the Red Lady, Chang Yu went south out of Beijing when they just touched the boundary of the capital, according to the speed, they could get to the capital when it was dark, only bitter Wu Weiying was afraid that he would not be able to enter the house, so he would go south to suppress the thieves, who told Chang Yu to use the Shenji Battalion, and use it so easily.

"You don't have to follow too closely, you don't have to be too anxious, you can even wait for the Shenji Battalion to set up a suspicious formation in the north, bluff, just wait for the order of the governor" Chang Yu already had a rough plan in his mind.

Li Yan is very intelligent, and he knows the meaning when he hears the strings: "The overseer wants to go deep into the tiger's den?" ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger" Chang Yu sneered: "The thief has been working with the court for more than ten years, and I haven't seen what kind of fighting style, so the governor will play with him and let him try it, and he will have long eyes."

The soldiers were dangerous, unexpected, Li Yan agreed, but he felt that it was too risky, and asked to go with Chang Yu, but Chang Yu refused, Shi Kefa was deeply encircled and couldn't move, he wanted to recruit the soldiers into the tiger's den, and there must be a person on the periphery who strategized and controlled the overall situation, none other than Li Yan.

"Strictly order that your subordinates shall not disturb the people, and there will be no forgiveness for violators" Chang Yu told Li Yan before leaving: "Don't forget that you are already famous at this time."

Li Yan gave up his hand, of course he couldn't forget that he was praised as a righteous army when he met Emperor Chongzhen, which means that although they were born in a thief army, they killed thieves and served the country as a righteous army, and they were given the name of the righteous army!

How can the righteous army do that thing that disturbs the people again, not to mention that Chang Yu is now justifying the name of the Ming army, if anyone commits a crime against the wind, he will undoubtedly seek death.

In fact, Li Yan had strict military orders when he was in the thief army, and he was one of the few disciplined troops under the command of King Chuang.

But after all, some thieves do not change their hearts, do not steal something, do not make a girl itch, look for opportunities to commit crimes, and are found by Li Yan and punished with heavy penalties to set an example, but there has not yet been a move to kill the head, and now the little eunuch has issued a strict order, so that he has made up his mind to rectify military discipline.

Chang Yu followed closely under the escort of Chen Wangting and other more than ten horsemen, and caught up with Luo Tang's logistics team without a stick of incense, and half a pillar of incense caught up with the black panther battalion behind the palace and Jia Waixiong.

"Overseer, I heard that Gu'an County is not far ahead, should we rest there?" Jia Waixiong asked

Chang Yu snorted: "Gu'an is fifty or sixty miles away, and it will be dark at the fastest time when you reach the ground, isn't this far away?" Then he glanced at Jia Waixiong and said very puzzledly: "Your kid is injured, and you still play with those few women, how can you bear it."

cough, Jia Waixiong sighed: "Eat hard, Fang is a ......" Seeing that Chang Yu was about to get angry, he hurriedly snorted: "Hehe, don't hide it from the master, I like ****, no effort"

! Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "Sitting on the lotus, turn around and let you sit on the nail" After speaking, he beat the horse and galloped away, Jia Waixiong couldn't help touching his buttocks, and the eunuchs in his heart are all good?

Gu'an, the southernmost city of Shuntianfu, so it is also called the foot of the Son of Heaven, and then south into the boundary of Baoding Mansion, a day's gallop, Chang Yu's four battalions finally galloped a hundred miles here at the twilight.

Chang Yu ordered to rest on the spot in the wilderness a few miles west of the city, and the people dismounted and saddled, martial law for five miles, and Hou Logistics made a fire to make food and set up camp.

"Sixty miles northwest is Zhuozhou" Chang Yu pointed in the wilderness, and said: "Yongqing in the southeast, Dingxing in the southwest, and then Baoding, two hundred miles away."

There was a soldier and horse outside the city, which caused the Gu'an Chengnei to panic, this kind of small city has more than 100 soldiers insufficient, if there is almost no resistance to the enemy, maybe it is a long time to find that there is no attack, the city soon has a fast horse to rush out, it is actually a brocade guard, and he was ordered by Gao Wencai to stay here.

These Jinyi guards brought some information, such as the grain team of Octopus, which was one hundred and fifty miles away from Baoding City, did not dare to go any further at this time.

It's not that the road is difficult, but the front is full of murderous opportunities, and there are traces of the thief army fifty miles north of Baoding City, and there are traces of the enemy more than 100 miles to the south and 50 miles from east to west.

Chang Yu had a piece of hay in his mouth, looked at the night sky in the south and frowned, his subordinates didn't dare to talk nonsense when they saw this, Hu Ling and other henchmen had followed him for a long time and had never seen him frown so hard, knowing that he had encountered unprecedented pressure.

According to historical records, when the thief army sent troops to Baoding Mansion, the soldiers and cannon fodder stretched for more than 300 miles, and now the scouts have discovered that there are traces of the enemy within 100 miles around Baoding City, which shows that the historical data is not exaggerated.

One step forward, step by step crisis, how to fight? How to fight? Although Chang Yu had a prototype plan in his heart, he still lacked a detailed plan, and he was worried for a while.

After a stick of incense, Luo Tang brought his family to Ding and began to make a fire to make food, the soldiers were busy camping and feeding the horses, Chang Yu sat alone outside the tent by the bonfire, Chen Ruxin took a roasted hare and came over, overseer.

Chang Yu stretched out his hand to take it, motioned for him to sit down, tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to him, Chen Ruxin thanked him and ate it unceremoniously: "Are you homesick?" Chang Yu asked

"The man is ambitious in all directions, and he wants to make contributions to the overseer" Chen Ruxin wiped the greasy side of his mouth with a solemn expression.

Chang Yu chuckled: "Although this troubled world is good, it is also very dangerous, are you really not afraid?" ”

"My second uncle said that heroes are born in troubled times, and the times create heroes, I want to be a hero, and I am not afraid of death!" Chen Ruxin said and glanced at Chen Sole, who was walking over: "He also wants to be a hero."

Chang Yu laughed, raised his hand and pointed at everyone: "You are all heroes."

When everyone saw that his demeanor had improved, they gathered around.
