Kong Youde, who is full of wine and food, will naturally not live up to his ambitions, Kong Youde supervises the army, maintains a high-intensity march every day, and has been attacking the county seat near Dengzhou at the fastest speed, constantly approaching Dengzhou City.

According to Kong Youde's plan, he broke the nearby county towns along the way, on the one hand, he strengthened his strength, on the other hand, he collected all kinds of materials, and when the time was ripe, he would find a way to capture Dengzhou in one fell swoop, and then Tulai.

If the two states are in hand, they can attack and retreat, and they will occupy a great initiative at that time.

Here, Kong Youde is bent on rebellion.

Over there, Sun Yuanhua still felt that he could appease his old subordinate Kong Youde, and he felt that no matter how he said it, after all, he had taken in their group of Liao soldiers before, and he could be regarded as having a great kindness to these people.

However, Sun Yuanhua was not completely pinning his hopes on making Kong Youde put down the butcher's knife with a few words, so he also planned to prepare for military operations.

coincided with the will of the imperial court, and there was no big difference between the will and Sun Yuanhua's plan, which also strengthened Sun Yuanhua's plan.

Therefore, Sun Yuanhua ordered Zhang Tao to lead other Liao soldiers in Dengzhou to garrison outside Dengzhou, and at the same time let Zhang Keda, the chief military officer, lead the army out of the city, waiting for an opportunity to fight Kong Youde, and resist Kong Youde's offensive first, so that Sun Yuanhua would have the capital to negotiate.

This Zhang Keda is not an ordinary person, and he still controls the few troops in Shandong that can still fight a dozen.

Zhang Keda himself was promoted in the second year of Chongzhen because he defeated the White Lotus Sect of Denglai and was promoted because of his merits.

This time, after Zhang Keda received Sun Yuanhua's military order, he urgently integrated the army in his hands and prepared to fight Kong Youde.

Although the ideal is very full, the reality is quite a backbone, and after Zhang Ke gathered the army in a big way, he began to fight a few battles with Kong Youde's various troops.

These Shandong soldiers and horses, who were born in the peasants and did not receive military training, can still fight the White Lotus Sect, but this time against the battle-hardened Liao soldiers, it is really a big loss.

And this group of Liao soldiers, fighting with the Jin army, is indeed a little difficult, but the army dominated by the Shandong Guard, which has not experienced any battles, seems to be at ease.

After a few rounds of contact, Zhang Keda completely understood, with the soldiers and horses in his hands, if he wanted to defeat this rebel army in the wild wave battle, it was impossible, with this little strength in his hands, the best way was to either defend the city, or wait for the reinforcements sent by the imperial court.

Zhang Keda, who wanted to figure it out, honestly returned to Dengzhou, intending to stick to it and wait for help.

On the other hand, Zhang Tao is even more comic.

When Kong Youde led the army directly to Dengzhou, Zhang Tao, who was pinned on the hope of Sun Yuanhua, because many of them were born in Liao soldiers, the Liao soldiers led by Kong Youde shouted here, and the Liao soldiers of Zhang Tao's department had not yet started fighting, so they simply came to a temporary defection, which really showed the faces of everyone present, if it wasn't for Zhang Tao's fast running, it is estimated that he would have confessed on the spot.

In the end, the two troops that had high hopes and were in charge of the battle were cleaned up by Kong Youde before they could fight.

On Kong Youde's side, after completing the sweep of the county near Dengzhou and cutting off the two armies, he also freed up his hands and was ready to clean up Dengzhou City.

After doing these warm-up work, Kong Youde finally besieged Dengzhou.

On the city wall of Dengzhou, Sun Yuanhua looked at the soldiers who originally belonged to his jurisdiction, and now they were all swords and swords, ready to fight with him.

"It's really the misfortune of the Ming Dynasty, in the whole of Shandong, the one who can guard against the sneak attack of the Jin army crossing the sea is also the one who can fight Kong Youde."

"Let him go north to support the border defense, it's good, and the spearhead is pointing at me again."

"If there is virtue, Shandong will be eroded, and if there is virtue, Shandong will lose a strong general, and it is really impossible to advance or retreat." Sun Yuanhua patted the city wall and couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas, before the arrival of the Japanese array, I must persuade Kong Youde again, hoping that he can get lost and return." Sun Yuanhua sighed, thought about it, the best way to break the situation was to be able to persuade Kong Youde to accept the appeasement in person. Only in this way can he save himself from the punishment of the imperial court, and at the same time, he can keep Kong Youde, a good general, and then stabilize the situation in Shandong.

At this time, Sun Yuanhua vividly displayed the idealism of the literati.

Everyone else put their swords on their necks, but they were still whimsically thinking about how to convince each other to obey their orders.

And it was Zhang Keda who pulled Sun Yuanhua back from his ideal to reality.

"Lord Sun, the matter is now, the last general said something that should not be heard, this Kong Youde has broken through several counties, and the government has sent people to persuade him to surrender many times, but he has been forked out, this person has already made up his mind, and it is not easy to shake easily."

"For today's plan, we can only try our best to break the enemy, so that Shandong will be less miserable."

Sun Yuanhua listened to Zhang Keda's words, but he glanced at Zhang Keda, and then said noncommittally, "General Zhang, for the sake of everything, let's all be ready to defend the city." Then he went down to the city.

After Sun Yuanhua went down to the city, he met with Xilaojing, Lu Weiluo and dozens of other people in Dengzhou City.

In fact, looking at Sun Yuanhua, he is full of literati idealism, but he is not a completely pedantic person.

He was close to Tang Ruowang and Xu Guangqi, and was one of the few people in the late Ming Dynasty who advocated the introduction of Western technology.

Not only that, Sun Yuanhua himself also believed in Western Catholicism and was baptized.

These were all very mavericks at the time.

In order to be able to effectively learn from Western technology, Sun Yuanhua also invited a group of Franc machine people, and used these Franc machine people as craftsmen and instructors of the army, specializing in the study of red-coated cannons and other firearms.

So don't look at the entire Dengzhou City, which is not a big city, but there are 30 red-coated cannons, and all kinds of small cannons such as Franc machines have reached an astonishing 200. It's like a city guarded by cannons.

"Oh, Lord Sun, we know that your country has encountered rebels, and we know that the rebels are now surrounding our city, but please don't be afraid, Lord Sun, we are a city with more than 200 cannons, and the most important thing is that God is with us." Xilao Sutra said to Sun Yuanhua on behalf of these dozens of Francophone people.

Sun Yuanhua saw them, and he also had a little confidence, although this group of Liao soldiers was particularly good at fighting, but thinking that Dengzhou had such a group of people who were good at controlling artillery, and Dengzhou had many artillery pieces for these excellent gunners to control, Sun Yuanhua felt much more relieved when he thought of this.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to be involved in the war in our country so quickly, I thought that the enemy you met would be the Jin Army, but I didn't expect that the enemy you encountered for the first time was the friendly army that was still together a few days ago, it's really providential, I hope God can give me more enlightenment, so that I can find a good solution in the next situation." Sun Yuanhua looked at this group of Franc machine people and sighed in his heart.
