The next day, the Han army set out again.

After the raid of the Tartars, Chen Xiong did not dare to be careless. The vanguard of the two cavalry armies shall not exceed twenty-five li from the headquarters, followed by the three thousand men of the Han Five and Han Six armies, ten li from the headquarters. After the break, it was the Han First Army, which was fifteen kilometers away from the headquarters, in case any cavalry attacked the Han people in the headquarters. The Han Second and Han Third Armies are five kilometers behind the headquarters and can support the front and rear at any time.

In addition to more than 100 personal guards, there are also 1,000 militia cavalry led by the Black Ball General. Of course, nearly 3,000 wooden cows are the military forces secretly deployed by the military master, and outsiders will not know the terrifying combat power of these wooden cows.

The big buffalo in Chen Xiong's hometown can even kill the South China tiger, which is what the older generation has seen with their own eyes. And the incarnated wooden cow is not inferior to the speed of the war horse, and the endurance is even greater. Even if it is a Siberian tiger, it will have to lose if it fights to the death with the wooden cow, but even if the wooden cow defeats the tiger, it will slowly bleed to death.

The Tartars who fled from the desert rushed to the dock and got on the boat and left, and the departure of the Tartars made the whole of Shandong very happy. The danger of the Tartars is becoming more and more great, and the strength of the Han army is also beyond the expectations of the Han people, and the famous Han army has also appeared in the eyes of the upper echelons of all parties. More and more poor people wanted to defect to the Han army, but unfortunately only a small number of people were able to meet the Han army.

Jingshi Daming Palace.

Brewing tea and discussing strategies, it is rare for Emperor Chongzhen to be so relaxed with the three elders.

The charcoal fire made the three elders feel extremely warm, as if their mood was much lighter.

"Right now, the Han army is no longer something that local soldiers can stop, so it's better to let them go back to Lingnan!" Chen Yan told the truth.

Chongzhen frowned, the Han army wiped out twenty or thirty thousand Tartars for him, which made him breathe a sigh of relief! I can't really afford to be in a big mess right now! But he was a little unwilling to let go of the Han army like this!

Jiang Dejing's head turned, and he said that he had to sacrifice for the stability of Jiangnan: "The Holy Lord can order Chen Xiong to guard the south for the Guangxi General Army, if he is willing to go to Nanning Mansion to guard it, it will be a good minister!" ”

The land of Bagui in southern Xinjiang! Chongzhen is also thinking about gains and losses, if he can stabilize the Han army, it seems that he can't hand over Lingnan to him temporarily. There are many poor mountains and people in Guangxi, and even the county seat is difficult to control. Guangdong is still relatively rich, but there are more pirates and bandits, and the governance of Guangdong is more than worth the loss.

Wei Yude also said after pondering: "The saint can give it a try, I heard that if the lord of this Han army is twenty years old, if he can marry, there is a great chance to receive this good army." ”

Tens of thousands of Tartar iron cavalry were wiped out in the first battle, and the combat effectiveness of the Han army can be imagined. If you want to encircle and suppress the Han army, you need at least two or three hundred thousand border troops, but now let alone two or three hundred thousand, you can't draw 100,000. It is already impossible to encircle and suppress the Han army, and Wei You will first pacify it.

Chongzhen thought about it for a while and said: "The cabinet intends to give Chen Xiong the capital of Guangxi Tidu, the general of Annan, to guard southern Xinjiang, so that he will not disturb the city and disturb the people on his way back." ”

"There is also a secret order: General Ruo Annan is willing to return to the army, and I will worship him as a general."

General~ This! The old hearts of the pavilions are deserted, and there is no position of general in the Ming Dynasty. The general commands the soldiers and horses of the world, and his power can be described as above 10,000 people.

"Holy Lord, by all means, I don't have the position of a general."

"Holy Lord, the Han army lord is arrogant and kills people without blinking, and the strength of the Han army is probably the Eastern Han Dynasty Dong Zhuo Xiliang army entering Luoyang!"

"Holy Lord, please think twice, and forgive your fate."

Xiliang Dong Zhuo! Lingnan Chen Xiong! Chongzhen's heart is bitter, this world is so big, how few can be loyal to the ministers!

"Let him go! Try to pacify as much as possible, and let the place be on guard when necessary! ”

"Your Honor."

Jiaozhou.

In the past two days, the Jiaozhou prefect, the county commander, the general army, the guerrillas, and other officials and commanders have all been on pins and needles.

Jiaozhou City is high and deep, and it is a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Originally, with 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, he could at least defend the city, and then send some silver and two craftsmen to send the Han army away. But when the news of the fall of the Tartars came, the rulers of Jiaozhou no longer had the confidence to be stable.

"The Han army is advancing, can General Qian be sure?" The prefect and the others looked at General Qian expectantly.

The chief soldier sighed deeply: Do you surrender, but the Han army will take away all the weapons and armor, and then they will be lambs to be slaughtered in Jiaozhou.

Mr. Qian exhaled and said unwillingly: "My lord, the weather is getting cooler, and hundreds of thousands of Han troops are in a hurry to return south, and they must not attack Jiaozhou for a long time." After all, Jiaozhou City High still has a river moat, and there are more than 20,000 armor soldiers, and the Han army can't easily get down. ”

"Yes, but for the sake of safety, thousands of craftsmen and craftsmen have given them iron and medicinal materials. So which of you would like to send an envoy to the Han army? The prefect glanced at everyone, and they were the only ones who could represent Jiaozhou.

The Han army has a reputation for never killing indiscriminately, and Mr. Qian thought about it and said: "My lord, let me go!" At least Ben will go to the Han army lord and will not think that we are snubbing him. ”

"Okay, there's General Labor." The prefect was very satisfied.

At noon, the headquarters of the Han army was preparing to cross the river in the afternoon, and they were all resting by the river at this time. After this period of running-in, the speed of Hermes-Epitek is getting faster and faster. There are also nearly 3,000 wooden oxen and the front of the Han Fifth and Sixth Army, so that the Han people can easily hurry.

"Lord, the general soldier of Jiaozhou asks to see you."

General soldiers? Chen Xiong smiled inexplicably: "Good General Ben go and take a look." ”

The warlord stood up and straightened his clothes, then mounted his horse and ran to the stone bridge. The cavalry and Han troops were waiting on the other side of the river to attack Jiaozhou, and they originally planned to let the Han army try to attack tomorrow, and they could not evacuate if they could not get down.

After General Qian's troops left the city, he was shocked by the dense cavalry and 30,000 elite troops. He didn't expect that the strength of the Han army was already so strong, and he heard that they still had tens of thousands of sailors at sea. Although he commanded more than 20,000 people, they were all farmers in the health center, and they were all stupid farmers who did not obey discipline.

"Huh~" Thirty heavy horses roared over, and the ground trembled amazingly.

"My lord." The captains stepped forward.

General Qian panicked and immediately saluted: "The last general, Jiaozhou General Qian Yun, paid a visit to the Lord of the Han Army." "The Lord of the General Soldier only felt incredible, the Han army master was escorted by thirty fierce generals! Like a big fat man's stone man, it feels like a pile of steel, each of which has the potential to be a fierce general.

Chen Xiong dismounted and made a long story short: "Mr. Qian, right!" My Han army wants to enter the city to have a look, what are your plans in Jiaozhou? ”

At a glance, he knew that the Han army lord was a fast man, and Mr. Qian didn't dare to rub it and immediately said his hole card: "Please don't offend Jiaozhou, thousands of craftsmen have already prepared medicinal materials and armor iron, so as to wish the general a smooth return to the south and the north." ”

"Haha, you also know that the south is back to the north, Mr. Qian, you are very good and discerning. But you may be in charge, if you anger the lord of this army, you will be afraid of Jiaozhou's difficulties! Chen Xiong became angry, and he was afraid! As his power grew, so much more did he become angry.

The Han army lord's voice was not loud, but the cold was like the coldness of the Nine Abysses.

"The military master sits down, the Han army is invincible in the world, and Jiaozhou dare not obey."

Mr. Qian is a sycophant, and he is telling the truth.

"Hey, that's right." Wu Li raised his head proudly, his Han Sixth Cavalry Army would also be invincible in the future.

Chen Xiong was greatly satisfied: "Okay, you go back and prepare, in the afternoon, I will ride the army to the city to hand over, if there is a violation of the Jiaozhou official household, there will be no existence." ”

"Don't dare, please rest assured." Mr. Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief, this Han army master is also very easy to fool, but sometimes it is also very scary.

The general soldier left quickly, and he very much wanted to tell the people of Jiaozhou about his merits.

"How is Mr. Qian?" The prefect eagerly looked at the sweating general, now that it is a troubled time, even if he is the prefect, he will not dare to offend these military leaders.

Qian Zongbing showed a smug smile: "As soon as I left the city, I met more than 10,000 cavalry, as well as tens of thousands of elite soldiers. This is only the vanguard of the Han army, and their headquarters is still on the other side of the river. ”

"What!" Everyone was shocked, this Han army had so many troops.

Mr. Qian smiled secretly: "Fortunately, in the end, I finally persuaded the Han army master and dispelled his idea of attacking the city." However, the materials of the craftsmen must be prepared immediately, and the Han cavalry will come to receive them in the afternoon. ”

"Okay, Mr. Qian, you have made a great contribution."

"Admire and admire, Lord Commander, it is not in vain to be a general of both civil and military affairs."
