"That big lady is so powerful, holding a gold-backed knife that is a long man, General Qian just fought with her for two rounds at once, and she was captured alive! We were so shocked that we wanted to come forward to snatch it, but the lady said that as long as she asked for the people and goods of the caravan, she would no longer be embarrassed by our army. The woman said that it was unreasonable for General Qian to detain the passing caravan, so she temporarily brought the people back to the front dock fort and let the little ones return to the general. The striker Gu wanted to be encircled, but she rushed left and right to kill, but was poked over more than a dozen people, and the queue was broken by it, but fortunately, the lady showed mercy and did not kill the killer. Master Gu stepped forward to challenge twice, but he was defeated, and he couldn't enter again, so he had to follow far behind, and he was afraid that she would get some more means, so he ordered the little one to return to the general immediately. ”

The striker Gu Daren is Gu Qing, who was originally from Liu Zhengfeng's family, and was almost caught in the hands of the enemy in Linqu City. After Liu Zhengfeng's ministry was reorganized by Yu Zhilong, it was broken up, and Gu Qing was incorporated into Qian Zheng's department.

Kong Ying said: "The goods of this caravan are so abundant, they are by no means ordinary merchants, and I don't know who their owner is. Adults value commerce and trade, and if you want to stabilize the local area in the future, you will have to deal with these businessmen. According to the subordinates, if it belongs to the Mongol elite, it should be pursued and disbursed. If he is a local tycoon, as long as he is willing to obey our army, he can discuss one or two. ”

"Since ancient times, agriculture and industry, all dynasties have been based on agriculture and profit-seeking business. This is Jin Yan's words on the side.

Yu Zhilong said: "The art of war is cloudy: those who do not seek a lifetime are not enough to seek a moment; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. At the beginning, our army had to Linqu County, surrounded by Tartars on all sides, and there was no way to trade, so we could only persuade agriculture and water conservancy. Today may be an opportunity. ”

Ask this sentry again, has the other party hurt Qian Zheng. Reply: Just tied up, mounted on the horse, the lady escorted the business traveler, drove the cart to merchant, and returned to the road.

"How can a mere woman be so brave?" Meng Chang was puzzled.

"What's the point? It must be that Qian Zheng underestimated the other party and was exploited by her! "Yu Shichang, Qu Bo, and Kong Bi saw the sentinel enter the tent early. They knew that something was wrong, so they simply put on their shoes and socks, and quietly went outside the tent to listen to the sounds, because the curtain was high, and the conversation inside the tent could be heard clearly.

"If you want to go in person, you can't save General Qian, and you will never turn back!"

Yu Shichang had always been unconvinced by Qian Zheng, and he was anxious, so he simply stepped into the tent, interrupted Meng Chang, and directly asked for his life. Yu Zhilong frowned slightly, and did not pursue their private investigation of the military situation.

After all, the Jing'an Army has not been trained for a long time, and except for the officers and men of Yu Zhilong's old department, the generals of the rest of the departments have not yet been able to thoroughly and strictly implement military regulations and discipline. Otherwise, it would be a great sin for Yu Shichang to enter without being called.

Yu Zhilong waved his hand and ordered Qu Bo, Tan Ye and others to enter together. This Yu Shichang and Yu Lan are brothers and sisters, young and vigorous, and Yu Zhilong doesn't want to be too pretended to be too much in public.

Yu Shichang is not a fool, so far, there are some rumors about the friendship between his sister and Yu Zhilong, and there is no trace of secret joy in his heart.

Yu Shichang, Qu Bo, Kong Bi, and Tan Ye came in to kneel and bow, Yu Zhilong ordered him to sit down, and his relatives found a few pieces of felt for them to pad under their legs.

Qu Bo kowtowed and said: "General Qian is in the hands of the enemy, and he is willing to go, break the enemy fort, and rescue General Qian!" ”

Tan Ye and Kong Bi answered: "The little one who joined the army has not made any contributions, and I am willing to go with General Yu and Qu." ”

Yu Zhilong was still groaning slightly. Kong Ying persuaded: "If the matter is not decisive, there is still a chance to mediate, and the subordinates are willing to go to Wubao in person first, know the benefits and disadvantages, and say it in words." ”

Yu Shichang hurriedly dissuaded: "No, the enemy situation is unknown, how can Meng Lang?" If the main book goes, a certain will escort the formation! ”

Kong Ying was previously appointed as the chief bookkeeper of Yishui, and after Yishui was stabilized, there was a lack of secretary in the army, so Yu Zhilong took him with the army and temporarily took charge of the army.

The chief bookkeeper in the army is in charge of the clerical work, and often participates in confidential information and the affairs of the consul general's office.

Kong Ying said: "This girl captured our general, but she did not harm her, and she was also measured when she broke the formation, so you can know that she knows how to advance and retreat." The sentinel said that there was a dock fort ahead, and there was a tendency to guard the official road, and if it was taken by force, it would inevitably tear up his face, which might harm General Qian's life and delay the army's journey. I am a scholar, I can't fight in battle, this time I just know how powerful it is by words, even if it is annoyed, there is a large army to rely on, and I will die if I don't die. ”

After thinking about it, Yu Zhilong made up his mind: "It's best for Han Sheng to go here, but just in case, General Qu and Kong Baihu will lead the team to the formation together, cheer for Han Sheng, and don't provoke." You wait for a good student to observe the terrain, find out the details of the other party, and just make preparations! ”

"Shichang and I are temporarily stationed in the Chinese army and wait and see what happens."

Yu Shichang had no choice but to accept the order. Qu Bo and Kong Bi were overjoyed, said goodbye to the tent, ordered the people of the station, and set off with Kong Ying under the guidance of the sentry detective.

At this time, it was already twilight, the jackdaw returned to the nest a little bit, it was estimated that it would not take two sticks of incense to get dark, Qu Bo was concerned about Qian Zheng's safety, and urged the march again and again, and finally caught up with the soldiers left behind by the ancient Qing Dynasty. Under his guidance, continue to the dock fort ahead.

Yu Zhilong waited in the army for more than an hour before he could pay off. It turned out that the dock fort in front was the local surname Wujiabao, and there were no less than six or seven hundred households in the fort, and the scale was larger than the village of Yishui Bai Shixuan. There are no less than 300 households near and far outside the village.

The head of this Wu Jiabao is Wu Xingde, who has only one daughter and one son, the eldest son Wu Quan, is an adopted son, thin, good at writing and arithmetic. The beloved daughter Wu Jinmei is wide and healthy, and she likes weapons, not only has the guidance of a famous teacher, but also practices diligently.

The passing merchants had a lot of business dealings with this Wujiabao, and Wujiabao was a place to rest on the trade route and buy and sell goods. The Wu family has always valued business, accumulated profits for several generations, and after building the fort, it is preparing to build a township to patrol the safety of business travel here. Today, when I learned that this caravan traveled west and was detained by an unknown strongman, this Miss Wu was furious, and immediately ordered dozens of horsemen, patted horses and chased after her. Who knew that after meeting, she was extremely surprised to see that the Jing'an army was in strict order, the progress was moderate, and it was not like ordinary bandits.

When Qian Zheng showed his banner, he knew that it was Linqu's Jing'an army here, knew that it was a big enemy, and after asking for the caravan to no avail, Wu Jinmei's subordinates showed mercy, but captured Qian Zheng, dispersed his subordinates, and Shi Shiran turned around. Fortunately, the other party's subordinates knew that she was very good at kung fu, and they didn't dare to stop it, but they just fell far away.

Wu Xingde had already known about the business trip and his beloved daughter, so he summoned Zhuang Ding and others to guard the wall in the fort, summoned everyone to discuss the right strategy, and sent people to the county seat for help.

Before the night was completely set, someone outside Wujiabao shouted, claiming that there was a Jing'an army here, and he was willing to enter the fort to talk with the owner of the village in detail. Hearing someone shouting, Wu Xingde hurriedly ordered the head of the fortress, the head of the guard, Wu Quan and Wu Jinmei to discuss. Everyone gathered, and after waiting for a while, they saw Miss Wu's face flushed, and she came from the backyard with a bang.

Yu Zhilong waited for a long time at the station, and when he arrived, he rode around and announced. said that Kong Ying had entered the village alone to negotiate with the other party to release people and make way, but so far to no avail. Qu Bo saw that the time was long, so he sent the detective horse back first. Qu Bo also reported that the fortification of this Wujiabao is much stronger than that of Baijiabao, and if it is fought hard, I am afraid that the casualties will be not small. Just in case, Qu Bo is openly making wooden ladders outside the village for attack.

Seeing that Yu Zhilong was worried, Meng Chang was relieved: "My lord is not anxious, Brother Hansheng is an unusually short-sighted scholar, he made a decision on the spot, so he should not be trapped." Moreover, our army is majestic and has been fully displayed in the eyes of the other party, and Wujiabao has never dared to go out of the village to fight, and must be afraid of the might of our army. It has no old grudges with our army, and if it takes risks, it is not the work of a wise man. ”

No matter how big Wujiabao is, if it is not a strong city, there will be no more than 400 soldiers in the fort, plus the local young people who are coerced, but there are only 1,000. Qu Bo and Qian Zheng and other subordinates are already nearly a thousand, Kong Bi has cut off his back road, and there are thousands of Yu Zhilong's Chinese army behind, the contrast in strength is too obvious, and the other party should not make this decision.

Yu Zhilong's concern is mainly whether the Yuan army in Rizhao City in front of him will come to reinforce him. According to the sentinel report, there were at least thousands of Yuan troops stationed in the city, and the rebels were not counted. If the Tartars dare to rescue them overnight, it is the best, and attacking and killing them halfway can greatly dampen the enemy's spirit, and at least when they capture Rizhao City, they can greatly weaken the enemy's resistance.

It was with this in mind that Yu Zhilong specially left Yu Shichang, and soon after Qu Bo set off, he ordered Yu Shichang to take a small road, bypass Wujiabao in front, and choose a hidden place to ambush.

If Wu Jiabao was not stupid, he would naturally send people to the county seat for help before being besieged.

But after all, Qian Zheng is Yu Zhilong's small hair, and the so-called concern is chaotic, and Yu Zhilong's restlessness is also human.

Yu Zhilong ordered: "Order the artillery team to stop camping, set off as a whole team immediately, and wait for General Qu Bo's orders." ”

The Jing'an army successively captured Yishui and Juxian, and captured some artillery pieces in the city, and considering that it might be used in future operations, Yu Zhilong specially selected some artillery pieces with small caliber and light weight.

Artillery was used in the army and flourished in the Song and Yuan dynasties. At that time, the two armies fought, and hundreds of artillery pieces were arranged and fired in unison, and the light was soaring, and the momentum was extremely shocking.

Stone artillery, that is, trebuchet, compared with artillery, although the manufacturing cost is low, but the components are large and clumsy, many wheelless, difficult to transport, not conducive to rapid marching. At this time, the artillery already had a frame and wheels, at least it could be pulled by livestock, and as long as the road allowed, although the speed was slow, it could generally accompany the march.

Yu Zhilong was worried that Wu Jiabao would not obey, so he transferred the artillery team to help the momentum. Thinking about the dock fort in that place, the combat power is not as good as the regular Yuan court military horses, that is, there is a heart to resist by virtue of the location of the dock fort, but in the face of artillery, it is difficult to resist stubbornly.

The artillery team marched, there were many carriages and horses, the movement was too big, and it was difficult to take the path, so Yu Zhilong did not ask him to follow Yu Shichang to ambush, and now it was just right for him to intimidate the opponent.

The cold night is coming, and the winter wind is howling. The artillery team rushed to Wujiabao and lined up in a line to make a bombardment posture.

Seeing that the other party showed off the artillery, the hearts of the people in Wujiabao fluctuated. Qu Bo replied again, and Zhuang Ding on the wall of the wall obviously cringed.

At the end of the day, the door of Wujia Fort was wide open, and Kong Bi rode back safely. He brought Yu Zhilong a message that almost dropped his jaw. It turned out that the eldest lady of the Wu family fell in love with Qian Zheng, and after going back, she begged her father Wu Xingde to come forward and recruit Qian Zheng as her son-in-law. Wu Xingde was unwilling, but after Kong Ying entered the village, he knew the benefits in person, and Qu Bo and others began to cooperate with the formation outside the fort and made an offensive momentum, especially the artillery team that arrived later, under the cover of the stone wall that was urgently built, a column of Hessesen's cannon barrels was facing the fort gate, which really made everyone in the fort very nervous.

It happened that Kong Ying entered the village, and Wu Jinmei proposed to compete with Qian Zheng in public to recruit relatives, promising that as long as Qian Zhengren won a game against her, Wu Jiabao was willing to let him go, but if he lost, he would have a good relationship with her. Kong Ying had nothing to say, Qian Zheng was extremely unconvinced, thinking that the former was negligent in his defense, and after being provoked by Wu Jinmei, he actually made a note!

Subsequently, in the martial arts arena in the fort, Wu Jinmei and the unwilling Qian Zheng competed again with the horse and horse combat skills.

Who knows that in a real comparison, Qian Zheng actually lost three games in a row!

Qian Zheng had to respond to this happy event with a bitter face, Wu Xingde pinched his nose under the entanglement of his beloved daughter, and reluctantly finally agreed to this marriage.

Knowing what happened, Yu Zhilong, Meng Chang, Jin Yan and others were stunned and laughed. It's really not a fight, no acquaintance, and a thousand miles of marriage are linked. Everyone was worried about Qian Zheng's safety, and they dispatched troops and prepared to face each other. But he hugged the "beauty" back!
