The sea is boundless, as long as there is a boat, you can go as you want. Don't worry about ambushes, don't worry about encounters. Lu Xiangsheng stood at the simple wharf of Zhangzidao at the mouth of the Yalu River, looking at the large fortune boats parked, and said with emotion in his heart, if there was a sailor in Jianyu, it would not be so easy.

The hussar battalion was transferred from Lushun to this Zhangzi Island for a day of rest, and from tomorrow's landing, it will no longer be easy, and it will be necessary to transfer operations in succession like last time.

This time, because once you go ashore to fight, there will be no stopping, and in terms of the degree of fatigue, I am afraid that it will be even more tiring than last time. Based on the fact that Wei Mulan's body had just recovered, such a high-intensity battle was really worrying, so Lu Xiangsheng persuaded Wei Mulan to continue to stay on Lushun's side, to coordinate things for the emperor's eyes and ears and for the arrival of the new army.

According to the agreement, starting tomorrow, on Guanning's side, Deputy General Cao Wenzhao will also lead a thousand cavalry troops to participate in the operation. It can be said that the two cavalry armies of the east and west should be inserted into the ribs of Jianyu like two steel knives.

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while, and subconsciously wanted to talk to Wei Mulan, but immediately found that Wei Mulan was not around, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

After laughing, he suddenly felt that without Wei Mulan by his side, he felt that many things were inconvenient, and he seemed to be deaf and blind.

Here in Liaodong, the autumn harvest is about to be; On the North Korean side, it is estimated that it will be during this time. According to the news from Li Deming, Jianyu in North Korea is also urging Gwanghaejun to arrange for people to harvest grain. If you want to connect the battles before and after, you have to hurry up!

After thinking for a long time, Lu Xiangsheng returned to the humble camp, checked the rest and recuperation of the soldiers of the hussar battalion, and finally went to bed early with them.

In the afternoon of the next day, on the side of Tangzhan Fort, the Jianyu guard sent away the messenger from Shenyang, and then immediately gathered his subordinates and said: "The emperor's decree that my Tangzhan Fort is close to the Yalu River, and it is possible that it will be attacked by the Ming army on Phi Dao. Therefore, the grain in the field cannot wait for it to be ripe before harvesting......"

As soon as he heard this, one of his subordinates, who seemed to be a civil official, immediately said with some surprise: "My lord, if the grain is harvested early, the yield will be reduced a lot. This year, our food in Tangzhanbao has been in short supply, and if the output is reduced again, what will we do next spring? ”

The guard of Tangzhan Fort naturally knew this, and he also felt that Shenyang was a little worried. At least on the side of Tangzhan Fort, it has been a long time since I saw the Ming army.

Seeing that he was a little hesitant, someone immediately spoke: "My lord, Zhenjiang Fort is on the Yalu River, and if the Ming army wants to come to sneak attack, it will definitely attack Zhenjiang Fort first." The minions thought that if we sent someone to Zhenjiang Fort to watch, so that even if the Ming army attacked, we would be able to warn in advance, and we would not waste food in vain! ”

"That's right, my lord, how many Han slaves did we die to grow those grains, it's a pity to waste it like this!"

"My lord, as for those Dongjiang Ming Army, it's not like they haven't fought before. The minions dare to guarantee that they will not dare to come to our side, otherwise as soon as our Qing cavalry comes out, where can they escape? ”

“……”

Seeing the discussion below, General Jian Yu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, this official also feels that the food is a bit wasted!" Besides, the official doesn't believe it, just a few islands, can still keep a cavalry army all year round? Is the Ming army so rich! ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words and ordered to send people to Zhenjiang Fort, but he asked people to arrange for them to prepare for the harvest of grain, and when the grain was ripe, they would be harvested as quickly as possible.

For this reason, the Jianyu guard also deliberately climbed to the top of the city, looked at the fertile fields in the distance, saw that half of them were already golden, and couldn't help but say: "With these grains, there should be fewer deaths in the spring next year!" ”

The situation of Tangzhan Fort was a common situation for the Jianyu of Liaodong. There is a shortage of grain everywhere, and when there is no danger in sight, it is natural that they are reluctant to harvest grain in advance.

That night, a full moon hung in the sky, and the bright moonlight lighted the night that covered the earth. However, if you are far away, you will naturally not be able to see clearly, after all, it is night.

At the head of the city, the guards on duty took turns to stand guard under the battlements. Although military discipline is strict, it is not a wartime state, and there will be anyone standing guard in a serious manner, all of them are mixed with time, looking forward to being laid off and going to sleep as soon as possible.

Suddenly, one of the builders reached out and pushed his companion who was a little dozing next to him and said, "Listen, there seems to be a sound outside!" ”

When his companion heard this, he was completely sleepy, and listened carefully, as if there was indeed movement, stood up and looked at the place where the voice came from, and couldn't help but say with a little confusion: "It's not an official road over there, and there's no road, right?" ”

"yes, it's all farmland over there." The previous Jian Yu nodded suspiciously and said, "That voice seems to be coming from over there, and it seems that the movement is not small." Is it ......?"

He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Could it be that the beasts are spoiling the grain?" ”

The other person listened carefully for a while, and his face changed a little: "It seems that there are still a lot, no, I have to tell the adults to go!" ”

"What about telling your lordship, it's dark this day!"

“……”

While they were talking, the other Jianyu soldiers also found out, and after the discussion started, someone finally went to report to the officials.

Without waiting for the general to rush over, he saw a sudden fire in the direction of the farmland, and in the farmland, the fire changed from small to large, faintly, under the firelight, there were still figures and buildings.

"Someone is destroying the grain fields!" Some of the Jianyu soldiers shouted.

"Ming Army, it must be the Ming Army coming!"

"Hurry up and report to your lordship, the Ming army is coming to grab food!"

“……”

The general was shocked when he heard the report, and immediately prepared to lead the army out, but he was shot several rounds of arrows at the city gate, and for fear that the city would be lost, he immediately closed the city gate and waited for dawn. Otherwise, if you don't find out the bottom of the Ming army, you have to go out, what if the Ming army is actually the idea of fighting the city?

As a result, Jianyu could only watch the grain fields outside the city being ruined by the Ming army. Many Jianyu cursed the Ming army with hatred, what are you doing if you waste good food, just snatch it, and when it is dawn, you can send troops to chase it back!

By dawn, the Ming army was nowhere to be seen, and the grain was almost ruined, although some of it could be saved, but this year's grain harvest would be at least halved.

Jianyu guard general was so angry that he wanted to split, but from the signs of the scene, the Ming army actually came to the cavalry, there were a lot of them, without knowing the details of the Ming army, he carefully sent a horse to the periphery, trying to track the traces of the Ming army, while sending people to the top to report, and then the most important energy is to rescue the grain in the grain field, otherwise a grain will not be harvested in a few days.
