The Grand Canal crosses the north and south, and is the way to transport grain and troops.

Although the transportation has been basically cut off since the Jiashen year, the Grand Canal still bears the responsibility of communicating between the north and the south.

Teng County, Shandong, the base camp of the Ming army, Ma Shiying's army is stationed here, and has been fighting with the Wei army Li Guobu for many days.

The Ming Dynasty claimed that the imperial court had forced the Manchus to return Shandong and Beizhi through negotiations, and achieved a huge diplomatic victory, but the Wei army's sudden attack destroyed the negotiations between the imperial court and the Qing and prevented the Ming army from accepting Shandong and Beizhi.

The Ming army went north, in order to receive the results of the negotiations, and the Wei army in Jining Prefecture, a fierce battle, could not win, so retreated to Teng County.

The battle of Jining was almost simultaneously launched with the battle of Qingzhou, 100,000 Ming troops attacked, 30,000 Wei troops defended, the Ming army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, the Wei army suffered more than 5,000 casualties, burned several large ships of the Ming army, and the army was as solid as a rock, holding the important place and cutting off the canal, so that the Ming army was never able to break through the Wei army's blockade.

Ma Shiying informed Dolgon of the movements of the Ming army, as well as the approximate strength of the troops, and claimed that the Ming army had gone north to outflank the Wei army, hoping to help Dolgon stabilize the army's morale.

The Ming army judged that the main force of the Wei army had gone to intercept the Qing army, but it was only used to block the division, thinking that it could easily occupy Jinan and control Shandong, but it did not want 100,000 people, but it was impossible to defeat the 30,000 Wei army.

Although the young Zhuang faction in the Ming army still insisted on continuing to attack, Ma Shiying was a little afraid.

Speaking of which, Ma Shiying and Gao Yihuan are old acquaintances, and they used to have some friendship with each other.

As early as when Abatai entered Koushan Mountain and herded horses in the land of Qilu, Gao Yihuan attacked the Qing army and killed nearly a thousand Qing troops, which left a deep impression on him.

After that, Gao Yihuan beat Bozhou and Shouzhou, and killed his subordinate Liu Liangzuo's family, and Ma Shiying also spoke out, just for fear of provoking this fierce god.

Now, seeing that he could not break through the Wei army's partial division, Ma Shiying immediately became cowardly, retreated to Teng County with his soldiers and horses, and instead sent someone to send gifts to the Wei army, expressing his willingness to reconcile.

At this time, the tents of the Ming army were all over the field, and the dense soldiers went in and out, and suddenly on the east side of the camp, a group of cavalry galloped and rolled up a yellow dust.

The cavalry galloped, rushed to the front of the camp, flew off his horse, and then held his helmet in one hand and pressed his sword in the other, and hurried towards the tent.

A moment later, the horn of the camp sounded, and Ma Shiying, who was wearing a scarlet official robe, left the camp surrounded by cavalry.

On the canal, the warships of the Ming army raised anchors and hoisted their sails in unison, followed the current, and sailed south.

Xuzhou has been besieged by the Ming army for dozens of days.

Earlier, the Ming army was bombarded by artillery, and the soldiers attacked, and once captured the urn city of the east gate, but fortunately, Liu Heizi led his own soldiers to fight to the death, and the Ming army was driven down the city.

After that, the Ming army did not attack, leaving only a group of men and horses to monitor the city, and the army marched north.

Seeing this, Liu Heizi did not go out of the city to attack, but held the city tightly and continued to wait for reinforcements from the Great Wei.

Xuzhou is an important town between the north and the south, although the status is not as good as Xiangyang, but it is also a place that the Wei army must control when it marches into Lianghuai, and he knows very well that as long as he holds Xuzhou, he will be a great achievement.

In the early morning, most of the soldiers who guarded the city for the first night rested with their weapons against the wall.

The east is getting white, and the soldiers get up one after another, moving their muscles and bones, waiting for the leaders to send Shandong flatbread.

At the head of the city, several soldiers leaned against the wall, nibbling on cakes, and muttered in a low voice, "Straight mother thief, what are the turtle grandsons outside the city doing around us if they don't go to fight tartars?" Hurt Lao Tzu to gnaw cakes every day, and there is no place to make money! ”

The old pawn next to him spat out, "They are so virtuous, if the Tartars can't beat us, they will bully us." I heard from the people above that the king of Wei wants to fight the Tartars first, and then clean them up when he turns back. Look at it, he will cry when the time comes. ”

As he was talking, a group of scouts from under the city suddenly galloped back.

After the main force of the Ming army went north, the remaining Ming army could not surround Xuzhou, camped away from the city, and monitored every move in Xuzhou.

"The Ming army has withdrawn! The Ming army withdrew! The scout galloped up yellow dust, and shouted with joy from afar.

When the defenders of the city heard the sound, they all stood up, and there was a commotion, and countless figures poured to the city walls.

According to his habit, Liu Heizi inspected the city early in the morning, and then walked to the steps, and was about to go to the city, when he suddenly heard a shout, he couldn't help but glance at Yuan Zongdi, and his eyes showed joy.

"Who's that, come here!" The gates creaked open, and the scout was about to gallop towards the mansion, when he had just run through the doorway and into the street when he heard someone shouting behind him.

The scout looked back and saw that it was Liu Dashuai standing at the steps, so he hurriedly tightened the reins of the horse, turned over and dismounted, trotted over, and said with his fists clenched: "See Dashuai, General Yuan!" ”

Liu Heizi asked urgently, "What did you just say?" ”

"Marshal, the Ming army outside the city has withdrawn. He was ordered to go out of the city to investigate, and saw that the camp of the Ming army was empty, and the boats parked in the river were gone. Seeing this, he hurriedly continued to walk south for more than ten miles, and saw many Ming troops retreating in the wilderness, and was about to get close to observe, but was discovered by the other party's rangers, and the humble duty rushed back. The scout excitedly.

Liu Heizi's black face showed joy, and Yuan Zongdi on the side also showed a surprised smile, and said happily: "It seems that the north has already seen the difference!" ”

The core of this melee is the battle for Shandong and Northern Zhili, and now that the Ming army is retreating south, Yuan Zongdi can easily make a judgment.

Liu Heizi touched his beard and said with a complicated expression: "So, is Brother Gao going to be the emperor?" ”

Yuan Zongdi hurriedly said: "Dashuai, I don't dare to call the king a brother and a brother in the future." ”

Liu Heizi said: "Old Yuan, you know a lot, you have experience, go back and teach me." ”

At this time, the soldiers at the head of the city had already figured out what was going on, and a burst of earth-shattering cheers rang out.

Liu Heizi and Yuan Zongdi walked up to the city, looked out of the city, and immediately shouted an order, "The scouts continue to investigate, and be sure to confirm that the Ming army has withdrawn." The officers and men of each battalion are ready, and when they are completely figured out, they will obey the orders of the commander! ”

Liu Heizi used a strategy to seize Xuzhou, but he was still very cautious, the city gate opened, and the horse rushed out immediately.

Mount Tai is located in Shandong, among the five mountains, Mount Tai is not the most upright and towering, nor is it the most majestic and precipitous, but it has become the place of worship of the emperors of the past dynasties.

Speaking of Feng Chan, I thought of Mount Tai, and the reason why this is so is mainly because of Qin Shi Huang, who swept away Liuhe, and after him, several emperors with great achievements were enshrined here.

At this time, at the foot of Mount Tai, the military tent spread, more than 100,000 Wei troops set up camp, Gao Yihuan came to the foot of Mount Tai, ready to seal Zen.

Generally speaking, the feudal society has three harsh conditions for Taishan Feng Chan: first, the emperor of Feng Chan must really create a great unification; Second, during his reign, he must achieve national peace and security and make outstanding contributions; Third, there must be auspicious appearance.

If you don't meet the conditions, you will inevitably be abused, like Song Zhenzong, who was scolded very lightly and lost his face, but the tall king is thick-skinned, so that he is not afraid that individual turtle grandsons who don't open their eyes will trouble him.
