On the first day of the sixth month, Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi each led 3,000 men and horses, a total of 6,000 Shun troops, to the new market town of the Yellow River ferry east of Shangqiu.

Liu Heizi has prepared a hundred small boats here, as well as countless rafts. Gao Liu's two soldiers gathered on the edge of the Yellow River and were competing to cross the river with thousands of sails.

On the shore, Deng Shi wore a white embroidered cloak and said goodbye to Liu Heizi, "Be careful on the road, the concubine is here waiting for you to come back." ”

"Lady, it's windy here, you can go back first." Liu Heizi walked three steps and turned around, "Don't worry, lady, I will definitely kill a few more Tartars to avenge Lord Taishan!" ”

Gao Yihuan also stopped and turned around, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Sister-in-law, I will take care of Brother Liu and bring him back safely." ”

Deng Shi was slightly blessed, "The concubine has thanked General Gao!" ”

"You're welcome, this is where I should be~" Before Gao Yihuan finished speaking, Liu Heizi pulled him back, "Lady, what are you thanking him for, go back quickly~"

Deng saluted, and then got into a carriage with the support of the maid.

Liu Heizi saw the carriage walking away, turned around, and saw that Gao Yihuan was still standing behind him, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, "Brother Gao, what are you looking at~"

Gao Yihuan left Gao Xinghao to lead a bureau of soldiers to stay on the edge of the Yellow River, and together with Liu Zhenwu, the general of Liu Heizi's department, he was responsible for guarding the boats and rafts, and receiving the army to cross the river, and then together with Liu Heizi's department, under the banner of the Ming army, looked at Nanwang Lake.

Between Guide and Shandong, there is only a Yellow River, and after Gao Yihuan crossed the Yellow River, he entered the boundary of Caozhou, Shandong.

Because the Tartar soldiers were in Nanwang Lake in the east of Caozhou, there were often Tartar cavalry raiding the boundaries of Caozhou. The Tartars garrisoned troops in Shandong, and the supplies were all based on looting, and now more than half a year has passed, and Shandong has long been dilapidated.

After Gao Yihuan entered Caozhou, the place he passed through was barren, and the people were either taken captive by the Tartars, or hid in the city, or starved to death in the deserted village.

Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi were riding on horses, and because no one was walking, the official road was already covered with one-foot-high weeds, and the fields beside the road were also barren, and the villages they saw were also burned, leaving only green vines crawling all over the ruins.

Along the Grand Canal, it should have been the most prosperous area in Shandong, but the soldiers walked all the way, but it was as if they had entered a no-man's land, and there was silence all around, only the incessant chirping of insects and birds in the woods, and occasionally accompanied by a wolf howl.

Gao Yihuan rode on the black horse, looked left and right, saw the ruined village, exposed to the white bones in the wild, and couldn't help but feel a little heavy, Liu Heizi and Jin Shenghuan on the side also frowned, but they didn't expect that as soon as the Tartar came, Caozhou actually became like this.

"General, it's time to Chengwu County!" At this time, a scout galloped in front of Gao Yihuan against the team and reported with his fists in his fist.

Jin Shenghuan beat his horse and approached Gao Yihuan, "General, after Chengwu, it is Juye, and it is already very close to Nanwang Lake, so we can't leave during the day." ”

Gao Yihuan nodded, looked at the scout and said, "Is there any suitable place for the army to camp nearby?" ”

"General Qiyu, after five miles of Chengwu County, there is a forest, suitable for camping!"

Gao Yihuan turned his head to look at Liu Heizi, "Brother Liu, let's go camp there, how about it?" ”

"It's all up to you!" Liu Heizi rode on the horse and nodded a little nervously.

A good end of Caozhou Mansion, turned into this appearance, the destructive power of the Tartars is stronger than their rogue, which makes Liu Heizi feel a little palpitating.

In Chengwu County, thousands of people are hiding in the city, most of the houses in the city have been demolished, trees and stones are used to defend the city, and the vacant land is planted with wheat, beans and vegetables.

On the city wall, several young men stood on the city wall to inspect, and suddenly one of them pointed to the distance and exclaimed: "Look, it's the official army!" ”

A catcher hurriedly walked to the wall and looked, and saw thousands of officers and soldiers in the distance, heading east. Seven months! Since the Tartars came to Shandong, they have been hiding in the city for seven months, and they dare not plant outside the city, because once they meet the Tartar cavalry, they will not be able to return.

"Look, I'll go and inform the county order." The head catcher had tears in his excited eyes, ordered his subordinates, and hurriedly ran down the city wall.

Counting the crossing of the river, Gao Liu and his troops walked for three days, and then arrived at a forest five miles east of Chengwu County.

The six thousand soldiers were a little tired, and hastily ate a little dry food, then took off the blanket rolled behind their backs and found a place to rest, while Gao Yihuan found Liu Heizi, Jin Shenghuan and others to discuss the sneak attack together.

"In less than three days, we walked nearly 140 miles, and when we arrived in Chengwu County, the whole journey was already halfway, which means that in six days, there is no problem at all when we return to Guide from Nanwang Lake." Gao Yihuan unfolded the map and said while pointing, "The only question now is how to raid the Tartars of Nanwang Lake?" ”

"Nanwang Lake is a flat river, it is difficult for us to surround the Tartars, if the Tartars go to report the news, and we can't beat it here, then it will be a big problem." Liu Heizi is still worried about the old problem, "And the Tartars are all cavalry, if they get on the horse, we can't sneak attack, and we may have to be hunted down!" ”

Gao Yihuan nodded, everyone was silent, Gao Yihuan saw that Jin Shenghuan was thoughtful in his eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Huchen, what do you think?" ”

Gao Yihuan knew that Jin Shenghuan was indeed very powerful, and he had more experience in fighting than him, and Gao Yihuan took him with him, firstly, to watch him, and secondly, to listen to his opinions at any time.

"General!" Jin Shenghuan arched his hand, "I feel that only by knowing myself and knowing my opponent can I survive a hundred battles, we only know that there are 1,600 Tartars in Nanwang Lake, but it is not clear how they are stationed and how their troops are distributed." The tactics we have formulated here may not be effective when we arrive at Nanwang Lake, so I think it is better to send a scout to take a look at the specific situation and then formulate a tactics of war. ”

Gao Yihuan nodded happily, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to Huchen." After speaking, Gao Yihuan turned his head and ordered: "Zhao Zhuzi, you go with you." ”

Jin Shenghuan listened to Gao Yihuan's words, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly took the order with Zhao Zhuzi.

Two days later, Jin Shenghuan, Zhao Zhuzi and others came to the vicinity of Nanwang Lake, hid in a wood, and watched the war horses of the Tartars galloping in the wilderness in the distance.

Zhao Zhuzi turned around, "There is a flat river here, and the Tartars are grazing horses everywhere, so we can't get close to the Tartars' camp." I think it's only at night. ”

Jin Shenghuan shook his head, "The terrain around the lake is not suitable for hiding, the grass is only about an inch, we wade all the way over, not to mention the distance, and it is easy to leave traces." ”

Saying that, Jin Shenghuan pointed to the reeds by the lake, "Let's find a boat, if we don't have a boat, we will build a raft by ourselves and go over the lake!" ”

That night, Jin Shenghuan and Zhao Zhuzi left two brothers to watch the war horses, and then took a raft and touched the area around the Tartar camp from the waterway. They hid the raft in the reeds and groped for the light of the fire in the Tartar camp.

When the two arrived outside the camp, they saw that there were a group of captive people on the periphery, and the camp of the Tartar soldiers in the middle.

Zhao Zhuzi followed the flickering light of the fire, looked at the group of people Tartars, and saw a few Tartars with their scalps exposed and a rat-tail pigtail dragging on the back of their heads, raping a naked woman in public, they took turns to commit violence while laughing lewdly, the woman cried in pain, and the more she cried, the more excited the Tartars became.

"Brute!" Zhao Zhuzi's eyes were red, and when he saw a naked and distorted female corpse next to the fire, he was immediately furious and wanted to rush forward.

"Don't be impulsive!" Jin Shenghuan pressed one hand on his shoulder and shook his head~
