The second rescue failed, and Sun Chengzong had no choice but to order Wu Xiang and Song Wei to rest their soldiers and horses and replenish supplies to wait for the rescue again. At the same time, he wrote to the imperial court again, requesting the mobilization of soldiers and horses from Jimen and Changping to come to the rescue, and recommended Zhang Chun to serve as the supervisor of the military road.

Zhang Chun, Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, raised people during the Wanli period, had a good performance in the battle to recover the four cities of Yongping last year, so he was valued by Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong suddenly remembered that when he was negotiating with Moli in Lingchuan at the beginning of the year, he had heard him say that the Tartars were likely to attack and besiege Dalinghe City in the summer and autumn of this year. I also remembered that Mo Li had said that the troops he had built were for a decisive battle with the Tartars and to keep the enemy out of the country, and now the Tartar soldiers are besieging the city, which is the time for him to fulfill his promise and serve the country and kill the enemy.

At that moment, Sun Chengzong hurriedly wrote to the imperial court again, asking the imperial court to transfer the general army of Pingyang to suppress bandits, and Mo Li's headquarters came to Liaodong to relieve the siege of Dalinghe City.

Hequ County Ya.

Mo Li walked around irritably, a little dazed. Today is September 13, and Dalinghe City has been besieged for more than a month. There are not many food reserves in Dalinghe City, so it should have run out of food a long time ago. In other words, the city of Dalinghe may have begun to eat people to survive.

Mo Li couldn't help but fall into deep self-blame, blaming himself for being negligent, and still had the illusion that history had changed, and the Tartars would no longer besiege the city, but who knew that history still happened.

If it weren't for Wang Jiayin, these bandits and thieves had not been exterminated, he would have led his troops to Liaodong a long time ago.

Mo Li asked people to read the Tang newspaper, and all the generals immediately looked at each other, because all the generals present had basically heard Mo Li's prediction that Jiannu would probably besiege Daling River this year, but they didn't expect it to be true, and they were more convinced of Mo Li at the moment.

Guan Feng stood up and said, "My lord, since the border pass is urgent, then let's set off immediately and gallop to the aid of Daling River!" I'm afraid it's too late! ”

Cao Bianjiao also said excitedly: "Yes, yes! After holding it for so long, I can finally fight with Jiannu! ”

Cao Wenzhao coughed lightly and said: "But there is no order from the imperial court now, our division is unknown, and we can't mobilize the army without authorization!" ”

Gao Qiqian also said: "That's right! General Mo, our task now is to exterminate Wang Jiayin and other thieves entrenched around the meander, without the order of the imperial court, the army cannot move without permission! ”

Gao Qiqian didn't want to go to Liaodong in his heart, he just followed Moli and them to fight the thieves in Hequ, and those thieves didn't have to fight at all, not to mention that he didn't need to go into battle in person, so he was safe. But Liaodong is different, the Tartars are not comparable to these thieves, and if something goes wrong, you have to explain yourself there.

Therefore, Gao Qiqian wanted to try his best to prevent Mo Li from leading the army to Liaodong, as long as Mo Li did not take the initiative to ask for orders, or even mobilized the army without authorization, the imperial court would basically not transfer their army to Liaodong. Because they are in the northwest after all, and their task is also to suppress bandits, they usually do not transfer such a distant army to support Dalinghe City, at most, they will transfer soldiers and horses from Shanhaiguan, Jizhen, and Changping.

Mo Li didn't know that Sun Chengzong had asked the imperial court to transfer his troops out of Liaodong to rescue Dalinghe City, he just thought that if he dragged it out any longer, He Kegang would probably die unyieldingly, so how could he be worthy of Su Su? How can you be worthy of those cannibalistic and eaten compatriots in Dalinghe City?

Also, if it was still like in history, only Wu Xiang, Song Wei and other troops were transferred to help, they were defeated several times in history.

Thinking of this, Mo Li turned around, looked around at the generals, his eyes were resolute, and said word by word: "Brothers! The day we've been waiting for has finally arrived! I decided to send troops to Liaodong to rescue the Daling River! ”

Gao Qiqian was taken aback, this Mo Li really didn't change his nature, he mobilized the army privately without the order of the imperial court, and if the imperial court blamed him, Gao Qiqian would have to take care of it, what should I do?

Gao Qiqian thought about it, and still said: "General Mo, this Da Ling River is to be saved, but we are the army of the imperial court, not the private army of some people, and the transfer of this army must be ordered by the imperial court!" Let's wait, maybe the imperial court order will come down soon! Besides, we're going to go now, what about the thieves of this meander? Who's going to cut it down? ”

Mo Li said coldly: "Father-in-law Gao, the food in Dalinghe City is only enough for tens of thousands of people to eat for a few days, and now more than a month has passed!" What do they eat? How do you keep them alive? Wait, wait, but even people will be eaten! How can we be worthy of our fellow citizens who starved to death and were eaten by their companions? ”

"This ......" Gao Qiqian was speechless for a while, his face turned red, and said: "However, the imperial court will naturally not sit idly by, maybe a large army has already been sent to the rescue!" ”

Mo Li snorted lightly and said: "It's not that I'm arrogant, I think that although we have a lot of Ming troops, but I am afraid that we are the only ones who have the ability and strength to fight against the Tartars!" ”

Gao Qiqian's face changed, and he said: "General Mo, we don't dare to agree with what you say, there are more than a million soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty, except for your Pingyang Army, is there no army that dares to fight with Jiannu?" You're too angry, isn't it? Besides, we're not done yet......

"Grandpa Gao!" Mo Li coldly interrupted Gao Qiqian's words and said, "If you are afraid and don't dare to go to Liaodong to fight Jiannu, you can't go, your old man should go back to Beijing first!" ”

"Nonsense." Gao Qiqian was said to be in his mind, his white face was red again, but he said toughly: "Who is afraid?" Say who's afraid? Our family is just acting on orders and following the emperor's will. If the army is mobilized without an order, if the emperor is to blame, who will bear it? ”

Mo Li was silent for a moment and said, "All the responsibilities are borne by General Ben, and it has nothing to do with Gonggong Gao. ”

After a pause, Mo Li said in a deep voice: "Guan Feng! ”

"The last general!" Guan Feng stood up and answered loudly.

"General Ben has decided that you will be the vanguard commander and lead 7,000 men and horses to Liaodong to rescue the Daling River! Let's go in an hour! Mo Li said loudly.

"The last general obeys!"

"Cao Bianjiao!"

"The last general!"

"Ben will order you to lead the people of the headquarters to assist Guan Feng, and along the way, obey Guan Feng's command!" Mo Li said again.

"The last general obeys!"

"Cheng Qingzhu!"

"The last general!"

Mo Li looked at Cheng Qingzhu and said, "This general orders you to lead the people of the headquarters to stay in Hequ and continue to be responsible for suppressing bandits, so as to complete the tasks assigned by the imperial court!" ”

"This ...... General, the last general has something to say! ”
