I saw that from the direction of Yaozhouyi, a cavalry army galloped quickly, and it was near the city of Gaizhou, so they dispersed to join the Jianyu Tanma that was originally scattered outside the city.

Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help frowning, and thought to himself: Could it be that the war on Yaozhouyi's side reached a critical time, and the slave chief was afraid that reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty would arrive and catch him off guard, so he sent additional troops to supervise a radius of 100 miles?

If this is the case, it means that Yaozhouyi must have the advantage on the side of Jianyu, otherwise, it is impossible for the slave chieftains to have extra troops to send out.

Thinking like this, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly became nervous. The safety of the holy car was the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty. Although he believed that with the emperor's ability to command the army, he should be fine, but he couldn't stand the scene that was happening in front of him!

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but wander around the head of Gaizhou City, a little unable to hold the idea in his heart.

According to his heart, since the battle of Yaozhou Station has reached a critical time, and the Ming side is still at a disadvantage, then he Lu Xiangsheng should do his best to fight in Gaizhou, even if Gaizhou does not defend, he should also go to reinforce the war of Yaozhou Station!

However, when Emperor Chongzhen was leaving, he had a strict decree to let Lu Xiangsheng guard Gaizhou, and there was no need to worry about Yaozhou. If you send troops privately, it will be a disobedience to the order.

Emperor Chongzhen is the emperor he respects the most, and Lu Xiangsheng can't do anything that resists and disobeys the order. However, if you really follow the order, will you just watch and wait for the Yaozhouyi battle to divide the victory and defeat? If the Ming side is really defeated, when the winner is decided, it will be the beginning of the catastrophe!

Another reason for Lu Xiangsheng's hesitation was that he did not have cavalry in his hands. Those who stayed in Gaizhou City were all infantry troops. If you want to rush to Yaozhouyi, which is sixty miles away, under the harassment of the Jianyu cavalry, it will definitely take more than two days, and if there is Jianyu to block it, then I don't know how many days. Gaizhou's reinforcements in the past, whether they are useful or not, is also unknown!

Lu Xiangsheng, who was wandering, walked more and more urgently, and in his mind, two thoughts were fighting with each other.

Suddenly, he stood up, turned his head to look outside the city, his eyes were resolute, and he shouted: "Come here, pass on the military order of this official......

His guards were already concerned about his unusual behavior, so as soon as he opened his mouth, some guards immediately stepped forward and clenched their fists.

But after waiting for a while, he still didn't see Lu Xiangsheng speak, and he was a little curious, so he looked up, but saw the governor's eyes looking out of the city, with a stunned look.

So, the guards also turned their heads to look out of the city, and suddenly, he was also dumbfounded.

I saw that in the distance outside the city, those Jianyu who had just passed, after converging with the Jianyu Tanma over there, were talking and laughing with each other, as if they were very harmonious. However, all of a sudden, they drew their swords and fought with each other.

Lu Xiangsheng's eyesight has always been good, but after looking at it for a while, he understood. It was those who suddenly attacked, and there were so many of them that they cut down most of the Jianyu Tanma to the ground at once, and the Jianyu Tanma who survived was immediately besieged, and there was no way to escape at all.

"Why did your own people fight?" Lu Xiangsheng stretched out his hand and subconsciously stroked his long beard, frowning and muttering to himself.

When his guards heard this, they also came back to their senses, and guessed excitedly: "Could it be, those people are pretending to be our Ming soldiers, right?" ”

"It's not!" When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he immediately shook his head and vetoed flatly, "This official can see clearly, those are Tartars, not our Ming soldiers!" ”

That's strange, how could Jianyu suddenly fight in the nest?

Just as they didn't know what was going on, there was a hurried sound of footsteps, but it was the officer on the other side who came running to tell them that he had found that there was an internal fight outside the city, and that he had started a fight.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, it was another accident, and he hurriedly asked about the situation, and finally found that it was the same as the situation he saw here. They were all later Jianyu, who suddenly attacked the original Jianyu Tanma.

If it is said that the Jianyu are just a place where there is a sudden infighting, it is possible that it was caused by their own sudden violent conflict. However, now in other places, the same situation is the same, it is definitely not a coincidence, but the later Jianyu, there is definitely a problem, maybe he was ordered to kill the original Jianyu Tanma.

However, this doesn't seem to make sense!

When Lu Xiangsheng was wondering, he heard someone under him say, "My lord, someone has come over!" ”

As soon as he heard this, he looked up, but saw that in the direction of the fight just now, there was a prisoner, who did not carry any swords, guns, bows and arrows, and even his helmet was hanging on his horse, and he drove his horse with both hands raised. Obviously, there is something to say.

So, Lu Xiangsheng ordered not to let go of the arrows and shoot, and then looked at the Jianyu curiously, wondering what this person wanted to say?

I saw this Jianlu galloping closer and closer, and I saw it clearly, and found that there was a head hanging from his waist, and blood was dripping all the way. Needless to say, this head should be those who built captives to explore horses.

This man did not stop until the edge of the moat, then looked up at the head of the city, and shouted loudly in the accented Daming official dialect: "Brother, comrade, we are here to exterminate the Jurchen Tanma by the will of the Ming Emperor." I injured a few brothers, can you send someone to treat them? ”

As soon as he heard this, the city suddenly became extremely quiet: At the behest of Emperor Daming, come to exterminate the Jurchen Tanma?

Lu Xiangsheng was only stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses, and shouted loudly: "This official is the governor of Baoding, if this official's expectation is right, you are from the Eastern Mongolian tribe, and there is no one in the army led by the emperor." ”

Hearing this, the soldiers of the Ming army at the head of the city came back to their senses and nodded their heads one after another, they didn't know the prisoner outside the city. Even if it's pretended, it should have just been cut into a money rat tail, but looking at the brain, it doesn't look like a just cut!

Thinking like this, the soldiers of the Ming Army wanted to shout and expose the fact that this person wanted to deceive his comrades from Gaizhou to go out of the city.

But at this moment he saw the man slap himself on the head, and seemed to come to his senses, and then shouted to the head of the city, "Your Excellency? The battle of Yaozhouyi ended, the Jurchens all fled, and all of our other ethnic groups surrendered. But the emperor has decreed that those of us who surrender must have the head of the Jurchens in order to become real Ming soldiers. Otherwise, he will be a military slave, and he will be able to become a real Ming soldier after three years! ”

Speaking of this, in order to show that his words were credible, he untied the hanging head, held it high and said loudly: "Look, the villain has won a Jurchen head, and the villain is already a real Ming soldier!" ”

His words made Gaizhou City quiet for a while.

Although this man may have said a lie, the head in his hand is true, they have seen it with their own eyes, and there can be no falsehood. In this way, it can also be said that this person is telling the truth.

Thinking of this, all of a sudden, a frenzied cheer rang out from the top of the city.

"Daming Wansheng!"

"Long live the emperor!"

“……”

Lu Xiangsheng also smiled, it seemed that he was really worried. Think about it, the emperor is wise and powerful, every time he fights, he is invincible and invincible, since when he leaves, the emperor is sure to fight the war, why should he be so worried, don't you have a little confidence in the emperor?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be ashamed!

In Lu Xiangsheng's view, not only is there a head as evidence, but also a series of unreasonable places just seen, all of which have reasonable explanations, including the arrangements for these descendants, which are also in line with Lu Xiangsheng's understanding of Emperor Chongzhen, so he has just determined that what this person outside the city said is true.

So, with a wave of his hand, he ordered his guards to carry the wounded into the city for healing, and at the same time called the man from outside the city in, and he had something to ask in his face.

"The battle in Yaozhouyi is very tragic, right?" Lu Xiangsheng's first question asked what he was most concerned about, "I don't know how the emperor is, what are the casualties of our army?" ”

"......" was dumbfounded by his first question.

Tragic? Casualties of the Ming army? What is this?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, and the relaxed expression just now suddenly became serious, and he hurriedly asked, "What, there are heavy casualties?" The emperor should be fine, right? ”

Hearing this, this person came back to his senses, and couldn't help but have a crying and laughing expression on his face, looking at the misunderstanding.

However, the person in front of him, but the governor of Baoding of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly cleaned up his mind, and immediately said seriously: "Go back to the governor, to the Ming army...... As far as our army is concerned, there is not much fighting at all, and for Jianlu, it is indeed a heavy casualty, and now only the Jurchens have fled back......"

The more he listened, the more strange it became, and Lu Xiangsheng wondered in his heart. This battle is equivalent to a decisive battle between Daming and Jianyu. No matter what, there must be a fierce battle, right? However, this man said that there was no fighting at all, and the Jianyu suffered heavy casualties. Could it be that the emperor sprinkled beans into soldiers, so the official army just watched the drama and didn't fight much?

As soon as this idea came out, it was driven away by Lu Xiangsheng. As a last resort, he asked this person to explain the whole story in detail.

This man also has limited knowledge, and he told the story from his point of view. It is inevitable that there are some discrepancies between the oral narrative and the facts, and in some places it is exaggerated. However, in front of Lu Xiangsheng, he can also see the subtleties, and then according to the analysis of the situation he has mastered, he will probably understand how the emperor won the Jianyu.

As soon as he figured this out, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but be amazed. He was sure that several battles of the emperor, including this one, would become classic examples of wars for later generations to be mentioned by future generations.

Let me ask, in the past, when fighting more with less, could there be such a big victory with a battle loss ratio?

It is said that Qi Jiguang, the military general of this dynasty, fought in battle, which was the lowest battle loss ratio since all dynasties. However, now, the emperor has shown his talent in leading troops to fight, and the position with the lowest battle loss ratio has to be sat by the emperor! What kills 3,000 enemies and loses 800 self-inflicted losses does not exist here in the emperor at all.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng remembered that he had fought the battle of Pyongyang, and he couldn't help but feel very ashamed! In that battle, he crippled the Dongjiang army, and it took more than a year for the emperor to replenish his troops and salaries, and he recovered some of his vitality.

Thinking about this, Lu Xiangsheng turned his head to look outside the city, and suddenly felt that this day and this place had become kind. In the future, this place will return to the Ming Dynasty!

The emperor's strategy of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle was very successful, and he broke the granary of Jianyu at once. Even if many people escaped back, this winter would definitely be a disaster for them!

Next, there should be no more soldiers, just wait for next year's spring flowers to bloom. For this, Lu Xiangsheng is sure in his heart.

Sure enough, in the evening, Emperor Chongzhen's will came to Gaizhou, asking him to prepare here, settle down and surrender, and exterminate the remaining Liaodong Jianju, and wait for the next year. In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also asked for a class teacher, and asked him to inform the water division to prepare to transport troops back to Beijing.

…………

At this time, in Yaozhouyi, Emperor Chongzhen spent more brain cells than during the war.

In this ancient war, in fact, the most feared was the labor expedition, not that the soldiers were tired, but the supply of grain, grass and materials was difficult. At this time, the transportation and the food transported to the destination are estimated to be less consumed than on the road. Shipping is better, but it also consumes a lot of food, and you have to worry about shipwrecks and so on.

Therefore, in ancient times, a million army or something, it was simply nonsense, and there was no such high logistics capacity to ensure the supply of grain and grass materials for a million army.

Moreover, every time I look at ancient wars, the things that cut off the grain route are often the most deadly. Far away, such as the Wuchao War in the Battle of Guandu, it was a decisive battle. In the Songjin War in the original history, the Ming army under Hong Chengchou was finally defeated by Jianyu, also because the grain road was cut off.

If it weren't for the limitations of the grain and grass problem, Emperor Chongzhen would of course be willing to "chase the poor with the remaining bravery", and he would recover Liaodong in one battle. However, food is limited, and if the front continues to advance, the consumption of grain and grass will be even greater. And Liaodong, an originally barren place, was hit by its previous strategy, and it was basically difficult to see even wild vegetables, and there was no way to replenish them on the spot.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen could only return to Beijing as a teacher.

The hussar battalion sent to pursue Jianguo had already reported back, saying that Jianguo had burned Haizhou and retreated directly to Anshan Post Fort.

Emperor Chongzhen already knew about this news by eavesdropping on the news fed back by the seeds. Therefore, he was not surprised, and quickly reacted, and continued to leave about 5,000 hussar battalions to garrison Liaodong, listening to Lu Xiangsheng's command, and all other troops returned to Beijing.

"Ah, it's just a pity that it's a Grade A eavesdropping seed." When leaving Yaozhouyi, Emperor Chongzhen sighed with emotion, "This Azig is really a loser!" ”

However, fortunately, every time a battle is won, the system will send eavesdropping seeds. Therefore, he just sighed with emotion, and his mind quickly turned to Jingshi's side, and the first assistant Xue Guoguan had a problem to go back and solve it by himself.
