The Ming army made no progress under the city of Luanzhou, the young Ming Emperor couldn't bear it anymore, a Jin army of less than 10,000 people and a lone army went deep to occupy the land of Yongping, blocked at the gate of the Beijing division to show off his might, the Ming Dynasty recruited hundreds of thousands of officers and troops from north to south to enter the Weiqin King, but took a small Luanzhou city helplessly, the face of the Ming Dynasty was lost, the emperor severely reprimanded Sun Chengzong, Qiu Hejia and others, and ordered to capture Luanzhou within a time limit.

The emperor's anger made Sun Chengzong and Qiu Hejia frightened, and took out a large amount of silver to send it to Luanzhou City, and ordered Ma Shilong, Zu Dashou and others to recruit dead soldiers to attack the city. It's easy to do things if you have money, the Ming army regained its courage, and after the group of northwest marshals who came back from the Santun camp fought in Luanxi, they seemed to find a little bit of the feeling of fighting the Jin army, and they were a little eager to try - You Shiwei has been called back to Changping by Hou Sui, You Shilu has now become the boss of the army leaders, as soon as he spoke, someone responded, and a siege death squad was quickly formed.

The Ming army attacked more fiercely than ever this time, 50,000 or 60,000 people pressed under the city, and fired 10,000 arrows at the city, the Jin army was pressed by the arrows and couldn't lift its head, the city tower was also ignited by the rockets of the Ming army, taking advantage of the chaos of the Jin army, the dead soldiers of the Ming army set up a ladder to climb the city, and succeeded in one fell swoop, controlled a large section of the city wall, a large number of Ming troops then swarmed up, the Ming army's big sword fluttered on the city, and the city of Luanzhou was almost broken. At this time, the resilience of the Jin army showed again, Turg gathered the defeated Jin soldiers braved the rain of arrows to launch a counterattack, the Mongolian warrior A Yushi killed a bloody road, killed the Ming army flag officer, captured the Ming army, the Ming army was frightened, panicked, and was driven down the city by the Jin army, You Shilu and other generals under the city saw that the general trend had gone, turned around and ran, the results of the Ming army instantly came to naught, after this battle the Ming army was beaten back to its original shape, and could no longer muster up the fighting spirit, and the attack on Luanzhou did not contribute to the work - since the Jin soldiers were so fierce, It's better to wait for the Hongyi cannon to arrive before attacking the city in earnest. The news of Liu Zhilun's recovery of Zunhua came, it didn't matter who was a soldier, who won the battle had nothing to do with them, but the officers were scolding, blaming someone for not being interested in stealing their first credit, You Shilu, Wu Zimian and others were sour in their hearts, regretting that they should not go to Luanzhou.

However, the Ming army did not know that the four Hongyi cannons newly cast in the south were actually sent to Tongzhou as early as mid-April, but the escort officials could not find anyone to escort the cannons to Luanzhou, and the Cao army thought that they would be done with escorting them to Tongzhou, and the officers and soldiers of Tongzhou thought that the things that the military department wanted should naturally be escorted by the military department, and the military department thought that this was the goods that Shanhaiguan wanted, and could only be collected by the escort officer to inform the owner of the goods, and they could not control how the escort officer went to Shanhaiguan to inform the owner of the goods. Everyone is reluctant to meddle in affairs, the escort officials are so anxious to jump the canal, the local official Feng Quan can't stand it, this person was prominent when Wei Zhongxian was in power, he once served as the first assistant of the cabinet, after Wei Zhongxian was unlucky, he was also included in the list of rebels against the party, cut off the official status, he has been indignant about this, now is the opportunity to serve the imperial court to correct his name, Feng Quan took the family to prepare their own rations and livestock to send the four cannons all the way to the Luanzhou Ming army camp, which is many days later, And Feng Quan, who made a lot of efforts, didn't even get a good word except for being ridiculed and ridiculed by the courtiers.

The Ming army suffered another defeat under the city of Luanzhou, morale was low, people's hearts were floating, the offensive was weak, Zhang Chun, who was a local official in Yongping, was completely disappointed, he was not even interested in writing to impeach others, the Ming army was stationed in Luanzhou, a decent battle was not fought once, but the local people were not lightly harmed, robbing property, raping women were repeatedly prohibited, he looked for the prison army Qiu Hejia to complain, Qiu Hejia was also helpless, the army was short of food and salary, the officers and soldiers complained, he could only turn a blind eye, As long as the soldiers don't mutiny, they will burn high incense, and he persuaded Zhang Chun to tell the people to hide if they can, and the days will be better after the war.

Zhang Chun received a letter of help from Li Yu, a little fellow, and immediately decided to go to Qian'an, he couldn't bear it anymore, the officials and soldiers not only harmed the people, but also bullied the township soldiers he recruited. Zhang Chun wrote a letter to Liu Zhilun before leaving Luanzhou, explaining that he did not want to grab merit on this trip, but that he could not sit together with this group of military leaders, Qian'an belongs to the jurisdiction of Yongping Mansion, and he also has the obligation to assist the Ming army there to regain lost territory, Zhang Chun promised not to treat Liu Zhilun's subordinates badly, he has covered the grain and grass, if there are not many people, he can also raise some military salaries, and at the end of the letter he also said that he was full of tears when he learned the news of the recovery of Zunhua, and he sighed for the loyalty of Liu Zhilun and the soldiers, if he was fortunate enough to recover Qian'an and Yongping, It will definitely be clear to the imperial court, and Lord Liu has also made great contributions.

Zhang Chun made meritorious service and led Yongping to march day and night, and arrived in Qian'an two days later, but he was still late, and Li Yu was already waiting for him under the city.

"Congratulations to your Excellency for recovering Qian'an," Li Yu smiled and congratulated Zhang Chun, and then pointed to the open city gate, "Your Excellency, please enter the city, there is no crime in the Mid-Autumn Festival in the city, and the old folks are already waiting for your lord." ”

Zhang Chun was so excited that he burst into tears, grabbed Li Yu's hand and said: "Hanmin, good posterity, you are the seed of our Northwest people, you come with me, and we will enter the city together." ”

"The last general will be exempted, this is all the credit of the adults, the subordinates of the last general are cavalry, and they can't attack the city or defend the city, so there is no need to add to the chaos, the last general is stationed outside the city, just rest assured." After Li Yu finished speaking, he ran away, and he had done a robbery here, and he was still a little weak-hearted.

Zhang Chun entered the city, and the gentry of Qian'an surrounded him and praised Li Yu greatly, saying that this Li deputy general was young and promising, and he would lead troops in battle, and he would win many battles against the Tartars, and he had no offense against the people, and he also used his own rations to help the villagers who had fled. The more Zhang Chun listened, the happier he became, originally on the way, he was still thinking about how to control Li Yu's soldiers without disturbing the people, but now don't worry, he has found the right person.

Zhang Chun went out of the city at night to find Li Yu and asked Li Yu how he planned to fight next, Li Yu patted his chest and said, of course, he wanted to recover Yongping for adults. Zhang Chun was surprised and delighted, this kid is too bold, looking at him There are only four or five hundred people in the camp, and this man dares to fight Yongping!

"Don't worry, the Jin army is already the end of the crossbow, the end of the road, don't look at the last general, there are not many people, but all of them are no worse than the white armor of the Jin army, the adults only need to choose some strong to cheer for the last general, bluff on the line, the last general will keep it so that the adults are happy to enter Yongping City, this recovery of Yongping is still the adult's." Li Yu opened his mouth and said big things.

"Well done! Hermes-Epitek, I will give you as many people as you want, and the food and salary of these people under you are all covered by this official, so you can just fight boldly with confidence. Zhang Chun also replied enthusiastically.

Early the next morning, Li Yu set off with the personal guard battalion, Zhang Chun was not to be left behind, and selected more than 3,000 young and strong people with knives, spears and sticks to follow behind the Fengzhou Iron Cavalry, to the Qinglong River, Li Yu asked Zhang Chun to take people across the river to help the war, and he himself took the Iron Horse across the river to challenge, so Li Yu fought with the Jin Army on the other side of the river, and the river beat gongs and drums and shouted to kill the earthquake, and in the afternoon Li Yu withdrew to call it a day on time, and returned to Qian'an with everyone, Li Yu explained to Zhang Chun that he was doing this to deter the enemy, The Jin army likes to challenge the opponent the most, but if the challenge is repeated and the defeat will be demoralized, then it will be easy to deal with them, he will take a few brave men to defeat more than ten generals of the Jin army today, and fight like this a few times, the Jin army probably doesn't even dare to go out of the city gate, we can besiege the city and trap them, Zhang Chun listened to it and was skeptical, this seems to be what is said in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", is it really like this in the war?

Li Yu ran to Yongping City to make trouble for three days, and Erbeile Amin didn't care, Li Yu sent a few people to deal with it when he came, Li Yu didn't come and he wouldn't be looking for trouble, he was now in the eye of money, Yongping Governor Bai Yangcui, and prefect Zhang Yangchu were all arrested by him, and even Meng Qiaofang and Yang Wenkui, the family members of the demoted officials who had gone to Shenyang, were not let go, and all the charges were clear, but what Tu Lichen did for his master was to chase the stolen goods for Daming, and if he didn't spit out the money, he would fight to the death, and Bai Ge would not be idle, With a few professionals invited from the Fengzhou Army, they were busy raiding their homes all day long, and these guys who had been thieves had good results in searching for money, not to mention that the silver cellar buried in the ground could not hide from them, and even the property hidden in the thatched house could not hide from their black hands, and Amin's house was full of gold, silver and jewelry in a few days. The more Amin looked, the more angry he became, scolding the old man for being blind, this kind of corrupt officials and corrupt officials are also rare, and they are held in their arms as a baby, they used to scrape the people of the Ming Kingdom, and they will definitely harm our Dajin in the future, fortunately, Elu reminded me, so that the traitor was pulled out in time and rescued the people of Dajin who might be victimized, Amin ordered to continue to chase the stolen goods, even these bastards are only left with bones, and they have to squeeze out a few catties of oil for me.

Amin is very anxious now, he is sure that he has fallen into the trap of the old eight, the four cities of Yongping can not be defended for a long time, this truth is the eighth in his heart, but the old eight did not tell him the truth, but first supported him here, and then sent the hardcore cronie Du Du to lead the army into the customs, Du Du became his sworn enemy in North Korea, if it wasn't for Tiancong Khan to protect this hardcore cronie, Amin would have trampled Du Du to death under his feet, what did Du Du do at this time? And that Shuotuo is also a cronie of the eighth, and he will definitely join forces with Du Du, if Du Du has the secret edict of the eighth, then his second Baylor is likely to be planted in the hands of these two juniors. Yongping is the place of death, and the five thousand people brought are the left-behind miscellaneous people from the various banners, the combat effectiveness is low and difficult to control, he stays here and is powerless, and when he returns to Liaodong, he can control the blue flag, Daishan, Mang Gurtai and he have the same disease, and it is possible that they will also help, so the plan of the old eight will fail.

Shenyang's cronies rushed to send the news that Du Du was coming, which bought him time to plan, he could calmly prepare to withdraw the army, Erlu has become his accomplice, Yongping's money has also been collected almost enough, now it depends on Luanzhou's Turge, Namutai knows each other, these two guys have already asked for help, Amin also sent the general soldier Baduli to lead the troops to save Luanzhou, but the reinforcements are pitiful, only four or five hundred people, to be honest, Amin didn't want to save them, Baduli is the person with the blue flag, Amin secretly explained to him that he rushed into the city and brought a message to those people in Luanzhou, my second Belle is leaving, if you are willing to go, you can break through the siege and get out of the Jianchang camp by yourself, if you don't want to go, then wait for death.

The situation in Luanzhou City was critical at this time, the offensive of the Ming army was not fierce, but the Jin army in the city was insufficient, only more than 1,000 people with the three flags of Zhenghuang, Zhenghong, and Bai, from the beginning of March to the present for two months, the Ming army repeatedly attacked the city with tens of thousands of people each time, and the Jin army could not withstand long-term attrition no matter how hard it was. After discussion, Turge, Namutai, Kurtang, Gao Hongzhong, Tang Gugu and others, who were defending the city, all thought that they could no longer care about face and must ask Erbeile for help. Erbeile's reinforcements finally arrived in their expectations, but only Baduli and other hundred and ten people who fled into the city in a hurry, and the others were all lost on the road, Baduli didn't give them a chance to complain, and unceremoniously gave them an ultimatum on behalf of Erbeile, to go or not to go?

Turge and Namutai are all people of Tiancong Khan, of course they dare not go without Khan's edict, but they can't help whether they want to go, the four Hongyi cannons of the Ming army finally arrived from Tongzhou, the Ming army immediately boosted morale, and once again aroused the desire to conquer Luanzhou, the deputy general of the Ming army, Huang Long, commanded the artillery to bombard day and night, and after four days of continuous bombardment, the city tower was also collapsed, and the city wall could not protect itself, Turge and Namutai ordered the whole army to break through. With the retreat of the Jin army, the Ming army was chaotic, Luanzhou City is a military merit, but also a reward for white flowers, the Ming army rushed to the city, the Jin army was fortunate to become a fish that slipped through the net, coincided with the heavy rain in the sky, the Jin army fled in a hurry and was miserable, along the way the Ming army took the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and constantly intercepted and killed the fleeing enemy, the Jin army was embarrassed, only about half of the people fled to Yongping alive.

"Well deserved! Turge, Namuthai and these minions are clinging to the thighs of the old eight, and they don't even want to listen to the master's words, this time they have tasted the bitterness, they are not allowed to enter Yongping City, Jianchang Camp is not far from here, let them go directly to Jianchang Camp and go home through Lengkou Pass," Amin gloated and said to Tu Lichen, who came to report the news.

"Lord Belle, shouldn't we leave too? The homes of those who were demoted have been almost copied. "Bai Ge has worked very hard to raid the house, and has collected more than 400,000 taels of silver for Amin, and countless other jewels and property.

"Of course we're leaving, everyone else is gone, what are we doing here stupidly?" Amin took a few puffs of snuff and glanced at Bai Ge and continued, "Bai Ge, you still have to get things done, you don't want anyone to make trouble in the future." ”

"The minions understand that none of those demoted officials can be kept, so the minions will send someone to do it." Bai Ge hurriedly responded.

"What's the use of just killing a few of them, I said that I don't want anyone to make trouble in the future, those who are demoted, including those who followed Lao Ba to Shenyang's people's homes, have to be done," Amin said expressionlessly, Bai Ge was startled, this is a full house of beheading, Erbeile is ruthless enough! Amin glanced at Bai Ge and said, "Forget it after killing these people, don't move the people in the city, the master ponders Erlu's words and makes some sense, you can't pour all the on yourself, and you have to accumulate some virtue for the future." ”

"That's it, Lord Belle is benevolent and righteous, why let others chew their tongues." Bai Ge hurriedly patted Amin's ass.

Amin smiled and waved his hand, and said to Tu Lichen: "Ye this person can't see some people who are hypocritical, so he can do whatever he wants, Tu Lichen, you go to Erlu, tell him that Ye will leave early tomorrow morning, Yongping wants to follow him, you bring him more silver, don't let him say that Ye doesn't love him in the future." ”

"Master, you are really righteous!" Tu Lichen also slapped Amin's ass.

Yongping City, the sky is sunny after the rain, there is a glow on the horizon, the red Ming army battle flag flutters in the wind on the city tower, hundreds of iron horsemen hold high the flying tiger flag outside the city gate neatly lined up, Li Yu came to Zhang Chun and bowed his hand: "My lord, the Jin army has withdrawn from Yongping, my iron cavalry patrols the whole city is no different, please enter the city to appease the people." ”

"Hermes-Epitek, is this true? Yongping was recovered like this? Zhang Chun looked at Yongping City, couldn't help but burst into tears, these days are like a dream, in Luanzhou City for a long time to fight for nothing, suddenly Qian'an, Yongping are recovered by his own hands, he stretched out his hand to hold Li Yu and said emotionally, "Hanmin, you have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, Zunhua is recovered by you, Qian'an, Yongping is also recovered by you, the old man leads the horse for you, you and your soldiers are all into the city, so that the people of the city can see the demeanor of my Ming Jian'er." ”

Zhang Chun dismounted as he spoke, stretched out his hand to pull the reins of the horse, Li Yu hurriedly dismounted and stopped him, and said repeatedly: "I can't help it, my lord is the official of Yongping's parents, and it is reasonable for my lord to recover the lost land, we are Yi soldiers, and it is inconvenient to enter the city, so we will leave and return to Zunhua." ”

"You are Yi soldiers, but you are also the Ming army, the Ming army, which is a hundred times better than those messy official troops, is the Ming army, how can the city of the Ming Dynasty not enter?" Zhang Chun was a little angry.

"My lord, don't shirk it, it's not good for us to enter the city, just now my scouts found that there is a Ming army in Liaoxi nearby peeping, maybe the Ming army in Shanhaiguan is coming, we don't enter the city, they are not easy to enter the city, my lord, go and appease the people, tidy up the city defense, the safety of the people in the whole city is on the adults."

Zhang Chun suddenly woke up to the fact that the officials and soldiers were no less harmful to the people than Jianyi, and he, the parent official, must indeed quickly enter the city to settle the people, as long as there are local officials in the city and there is no chaos, the officials and soldiers will not dare to easily disobey the rules and enter the city, Zhang Chun let go of Li Yu's hand.

Leaving Yongping City, Liu Xingzuo stopped his horse and said to Li Yu: "Yuzi, we should also break up, the battle is over, I want to go back to Shanhaiguan, first find Lord Sun to resign, and then go to Phidao to call them Xingzhi, we will go back to Fengzhou to find you, Daming, we will not wait." ”

Li Yu nodded, took Liu Xingzuo's hand and said, "Brother Liu, you must come to me, you promised me that we will build a new home in Fengzhou together." ”

Liu Xingzuo smiled and nodded in agreement, then patted Li Yu on the shoulder, and galloped into the distance.
