The right attendant of the Ming Military Department said very politely to Ma Wei, "Oh, this official is the right attendant of the military department sent south by His Majesty to block Jiannu, and the one next to him is the commander of the Shandong Metropolitan Commander, and the one on the right is the right attendant of the Imperial Palace.... ”

After introducing the generals one by one, the right attendant of the Ming Army Department continued to ask: "Dare to ask, what did Governor Sun do when he sent two people to Shandong to declare the political secretary?" ”

Ma Wei replied, "Oh, Governor Sun has asked us to escort a missionary to Jinan Province." As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Wei thought that Jiannu would have attacked Jinan Mansion and occupied Licheng County all the way south? He anxiously pleaded and said, "Oh no, Jiannu may have ransacked Licheng County when he went south, and I also ask you to send troops to rescue Licheng County." ”

But when he saw the commander of the eastern capital of Ming covering his mouth and laughing, Ma Wei was very strange and asked, "Dare to ask the commander of the capital, why are you laughing?" What does the commander know about the adults? ”

The commander of the eastern capital of Ming didn't want to hide anything, so he told him that he happened to intercept Jiannu when he passed through Licheng County, so Jiannu would approach Changqing County so quickly. After confirming the safety of Licheng County, Ma Wei went to chase after the military doctor Langzhong.

On the other side, the Manchu Qing Dynasty who escaped came to the territory of Shima Mountain, and panting, he climbed a branch and scolded angrily: "Jurchen language: damn it! After scolding, he looked at Karaqin Daru Huachi who was holding a water bag and preparing to drink next to him, which made the Manchu Qing Doro Rao Yu Beile very uncomfortable.

He strode forward, grabbed the water bag, took a sip, and asked, "Jurchen language: Why didn't you try your best to cooperate with the Ming army before?" But the cunning Karaqin Daru Huachi explained: "Mongolian: I'm afraid that Lord Belle has misunderstood, I was so chaotic before, but I did my best to do my best." ”

But the Manchu Dora Rao Yu Baylor was just about to be furious, but was stopped by the Manchu translator and persuaded him: "Jurchen language: Lord Baylor, please stop your anger!" Isn't it time to turn against Karaqin now, and we should quickly unite with another army, so that we can compete with the Ming court's army? ”

Listening to what the Manchu translator said, the Manchu Dora Rao Yu Baylor seemed to have woken up a little? He immediately sent a message to the Manchu ministers to contact the Second Banner Army.

At the same time, the county lord of Mingtai'an was still guarding Wu Junzhen by the bedside, and Ma Wei carefully brought the decoction up, and when he was about to feed Wu Junzhen to drink, he was snatched by the county lord of Mingtai'an and said, "Let the county lord come!" After all, my brother was injured because of me! If you don't take care of him personally, I'm afraid the county lord will be uneasy in his heart! ”

In fact, Ma Wei could see that His Royal Highness the county lord was interested in Wu Junzhen, so he was embarrassed to continue to disturb them, Ma Wei, who had withdrawn from the account, thought to himself; For now, let's discuss how to defeat Jiannu! Brother Wu has His Royal Highness the county lord to take care of him and will be fine for the time being, but after thinking about it, he is just a general manager and can't participate in the discussion? Marvis thinks about it, and there is only one feasible plan at present? That is, the subordinate dressed as a tea delivery person entered the account and eavesdropped on the proceedings.

So Ma Wei walked over and discussed with the person who delivered the tea: "Hey! This brother, can you send me this tea? The subordinate looked up and saw that Ma Wei's appearance was a little frizzy, he thought that he was afraid of something? He shook his head and declined the request.

However, Ma Wei was not reconciled, he continued to pull the next person and asked: "Then you look at these 10 copper plates, it should be regarded as filial piety to you, take them to buy some food!" ”

Originally, the subordinates were reluctant but saw that Ma Wei had been pestering, so he had to agree to come down and hand over the tea plate to him, and Ma Wei, who took the tea plate, walked straight into the camp tent, and just entered the account to hear the Ming generals talking, only to hear them say, "Now that our army has gathered here, it is better to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take down the Jiannu cavalry in one fell swoop, and we can return to the court as soon as possible." ”

But the commander of the eastern capital of Ming next to him pointed to the map and said, "According to the general Ben, this time Jiannu went south, mostly to seize the city and grab food, rather than really fighting with the main force of our army, from this point of view, it can be determined that Jiannu should have a purpose, we can fundamentally Shandong Cheng Xuanzheng State Division of the state and county grain to calculate the next goal of Jiannu, in the formulation of the encirclement plan to achieve annihilation in one fell swoop." ”

This idea was unanimously recognized by everyone, and the Ming Imperial Court pointed out that the nearby materials were more prosperous in Tai'an Prefecture, and our army could set up an ambush in this area, and after implementing the plan, the Ming army generals picked up the teacup to taste tea, and Ma Wei, who heard the plan, quietly walked out of the camp.

He thought to himself; Isn't His Royal Highness the county lord from Tai'an Prefecture? Wouldn't it be logical to go south in the name of escorting His Royal Highness the County Lord?

With this idea, Ma Wei walked to visit Wu Junzhen in the tent again, and as soon as he opened the curtain, he saw the intimate appearance of the county lord and Wu Junzhen, Wu Junzhen leaned on the side of the bed and opened his mouth to be fed medicine by the county lord, Ma Wei coughed and touched his nose and said, "His Royal Highness the county lord, the little one has something to discuss with His Royal Highness the county lord!" ”

At this moment, after feeding the medicine, the county lord of Mingtai'an gently put down the bowl and asked, "What do you have to say?" Ma Wei inquired about Wu Junzhen's injuries and confirmed that he was fine, before Ma Wei spoke: "Your Royal Highness the County Lord, if you have something to ask for, I hope that Your Royal Highness the County Lord must agree!" Seeing his very serious expression, the county lord of Ming Tai'an nodded and agreed.

And Ma Wei said, "His Royal Highness the County Lord, it's been a while since you left the Tai'an County Palace, right?" Presumably, His Royal Highness the King of Taean County is also worried about your safety! Later, we will escort His Royal Highness the County Lord back to Tai'an Prefecture, and ask His Royal Highness the County Lord not to refuse. ”

Hearing that he was going to send himself back to His Royal Highness the County Lord of Tai'an Prefecture, he was first overjoyed, and then he looked reluctant! After all, this time I escaped to play behind my father's back, and my brother Wu Junzhen's condition has not improved, if I go back at this time, I am afraid that it will be unreasonable?

But in order to stabilize his emotions, Ma Wei had to say, "Don't worry about Brother Wu's condition!" When the time comes, he will go south with us. As soon as the words fell, the right attendant of the Ming Military Department and the commander of the eastern capital of the Ming Dynasty entered the account and saluted the lord of Ming Tai'an County, but as soon as he saw Ma Wei next to him.

The right attendant of the Ming Soldier Department asked, "Why are you here?" Hurry down and get ready! Ma Wei then withdrew from the account to pack up his things and wait for departure, thinking that the county lord of Mingtai'an would lose his temper and refuse to go back, but he didn't expect that as soon as the generals mentioned this matter, the county lord of Mingtai'an agreed without hesitation, and was ready to set off immediately.

After a stick of incense, the county lord of Ming Tai'an got on the frame, and the commander of the eastern capital of Ming Mountain accompanied the escort in front, and the rest of the people also went south along the official road of Changqing County one after another.

On April 15, the main force of the Ming army's vanguard arrived at the Shima Mountain area of the fork in the road, but encountered Jiannu soldiers, spies quietly observing the movements of the Ming army in the middle of the mountainside.

At this moment, the Manchu Qing Dynasty Doro Rao Yu Beile, who was eating game in the back, bit a chicken leg in his mouth and saw the soldiers hurriedly running over and said, "Jurchen language: Qi Yu Belle Ye found the main force of the Ming army in front of him. After learning the news, the Manchu Qing Dynasty Doro Rao Yu Beile tore off a chicken wing and gave it to the soldiers.

And smiled and said to the soldiers, "Jurchen language: The Ming army must not know the situation of our army yet?" After we have eaten and drunk enough, we will bring him a praying mantis and catch cicadas, and the yellow finch will follow. ”

Karaqin Daru Huachi on the side was also eating roast pheasant, he glanced at the Manchu Dora Rao Yu Beile and thought; This person may not be an opponent of the Ming army? After all, the Ming army has mobilized elite troops this time, and it may be difficult to win if he doesn't use stratagem, but so far he hasn't revealed any news to anyone! Presumably premeditated? Otherwise, there is no doubt that he will be defeated, in short, Karaqin Daru Huachi is reporting the mentality of blowing on both sides.

However, the sky is gradually overcast and the clouds are thick, as if it is about to rain heavily? Ma Wei, who was behind the Ming army, saw that the sky was dark and worried about Wu Junzhen's injury, so he ordered the coachman to hurry as quickly as possible and strive to reach the Feicheng County Post Station before the heavy rain arrived.

And the front convoy did not think so, the commander of the eastern capital of Ming was afraid that Jiannu would besiege Tai'an Prefecture in advance, so he ordered the coachman to speed up the road and be sure to travel twenty miles before dark to reach Tai'an Prefecture, so the front team and the rear team distanced, and the frame of the Ming Tai'an County Lord went directly through Feicheng County to copy the road to Tai'an Prefecture.

The rear team arrived in Feicheng County and went into the city to rest, just entered the city and the heavy rain began to fall, fortunately Wu Junzhen's frame and Ma Wei came to the post station together, and the military doctor Lang Zhong was invited by Ma Wei to change the medicine for Wu Junzhen.

Seeing that Wu Junzhen, who had a slightly better face, sat up after taking the medicine, and shouted in his mouth, "Water, bring me water, I want to drink it." Ma Wei quickly went to the table, poured a cup of tea, brought it to Wu Junzhen to drink, and began to ask, "Brother Wu, how is he doing now?" ”

Wu Junzhen, who had eased his spirits, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ma Wei, and replied, "It's much better, Brother Ma doesn't have to worry!" I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child, but my father didn't let me participate in the army! Ma Wei then remembered that Wu Junzhen was a small injury after the door, and the pain should have no effect on him, just rest for a day.
