The grand strategy was decided by Emperor Chongzhen. His decision was either arbitrary, or he held a joint military meeting of the Ming Dynasty, or he came to it after listening to the opinions of several front-line generals and commanders. But when it comes to war, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't worry about how to fight, and it is up to the leading generals to decide how to fight.

Due to the existence of the chat group system and the "humanoid radios" in all Ming armies, Lu Xiangsheng not only knew the whereabouts of the Manchu grain protection team well, but also had a clear understanding of the situation of his own army.

After Lu Xiangsheng took the overall situation, he decided to set up the battlefield between Zhenjiang Fort and Tangzhan Fort. Actually, he doesn't have many options. The Manchu reinforcements in Liaodong set out before the second army in Haizhou, and the distance to Korea was about the same. If the Ming army forcibly marched to Korea, it would be a bit unrealistic to fight a war of annihilation against the Manchu grain guards. And at that time, we had to guard against whether the army receiving from Liaodong would hit the battlefield.

If the Liaodong reinforcements receive the food protection team, Duoduo will lead the army back, and there will be less worries. Although it is said that on the road from Liaodong to Korea, the Manchus have stationed a relatively large number of troops, and it will be correspondingly difficult to fight. But as long as the battle can be resolved in time, even if the Manchu army comes to help, it is not afraid.

After choosing the battlefield, Lu Xiangsheng led the two armies to converge, and no longer sent out to collect at night, as much as possible to minimize the traces of the Ming army, as if the Manchu Qing Dynasty transported grain this time, the Ming Dynasty did not know, let alone the idea of fighting these grains.

One day, two days, three days...... In the beginning, especially in the inaccessible places of northern Korea, Doduo's spirit was highly stressed, and even when he camped at night, he took all precautions, but he would still wake up from his dreams sometimes. Walking on the road, when you hear the "bang" sound of the wind blowing through the forest on both sides of the official road, you will also suspect that there are people hidden inside. Azig was nervous at first, but later he became numb, and then he became a little suspicious of Duoduo.

At this time, the two Manchu leaders showed different attitudes.

The more he didn't see the movement of the Ming army, the tighter Duoduo's nerves jumped, like a spring, the tighter and tighter he pressed, and he always felt that the Ming army was about to appear. And Azig is getting more and more relaxed, where is the Ming army? It is impossible for the Ming army to appear at all!

On this day, when the grain protection team arrived at Sinuiju on the Yalu River, the Liaodong reinforcements who came to greet them also happened to arrive here, and the two sides could be said to have met in victory. It was only then that Dord's nerves relaxed. This relaxation immediately made me feel very tired. He also did not go to politeness, rested by himself, and prepared to return to Seoul.

The leader of the reinforcements was Shumulu Yanguli, who was in his sixties at this time, but he was still old and strong, and it was not a problem to lead the army to fight. In the original history, during this period of time, he also led the division with Azig and Abatai to attack the Daming Pass, conquered the twelve prefectures and counties in Jinai, won 58 battles, and captured more than 100,000 people. It's just bad luck that when he went with Huang Taiji to attack North Korea, he was ambushed by the North Korean army, and finally died of serious injuries, and was posthumously named King Wuxun by Huang Taiji.

The reason why Huang Taiji sent him here was because he was the founder of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he was old and respectful. This batch of grain and grass materials is too important, so I am a little worried about Azig's youth, and Payanguli will match it.

Sure enough, when he heard Azig mocking Duoduo's courage in front of him, he opened his mouth and admonished: "Lord Belle, there is no big mistake in being careful, no matter what, it is best to send this batch of food security to Shenyang." “

Yanguli's official position at this time is still one level lower than Baylor, but his wife is the daughter of a wild boar skin, and she is Azig's brother-in-law, and she is an old qualification.

Azig didn't expect him to be uncooperative, and he was unhappy, so he didn't bother to see Yanguli and went to rest by himself.

A day later, on the distant hill outside Sinuiju, Li Deming saw through the telescope that Duoduo leading the army out of the city and heading south, so he immediately sent the news to the group: Duoduo led the army back to Seoul! “

Not long after, he sent another message: "The grain guards have also begun to leave the city and set off for Liaodong." ”

After finishing speaking, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, put down the binoculars, and said to a few companions beside him, "Okay, our mission is complete." Take a good rest, and after Lu Zhongcheng informs, we can return to Jinzhou. ”

The reason why they don't have to follow here anymore is that if they follow again, they will have to cross the Yalu River, which will be easy to be discovered by the Manchu army. Moreover, after crossing the Yalu River, this grain protection team must go to Zhenjiang Fort to rest, and then go to Tangzhan Fort to rest the next day, otherwise they will camp in the wild, which will not only suffer but also be unsafe!

The 2,000 cavalry led by Lu Xiangsheng and the 2,000 infantry troops who arrived later by Cao Bianjiao were all hiding on the mountains of the intended battlefield at this time. It was not until he received the news from Li Deming that Lu Xiangsheng asked Gao Yingyuan to climb to the top of the mountain to monitor the movements on the official road at the foot of the mountain.

As expected, there was still an hour or so before the evening, and the Manchu grain protection team had already arrived at Zhenjiang Fort. Azig looked at the sky and felt that it was still early, and he wanted to lead the army again and continue to walk for a while. But Yanguli immediately advised safety first.

When Azig heard this, he was a little helpless, so he had to rest in Zhenjiang Fort. But that wasn't the end of it, Yanguli continued to nag and asked Azig to send a scout horse to scout the official roads before and after.

At this time, Azig was a little impatient, and he said to Yanguli: "This is only a day's journey from Tangzhan Fort, and the Ming army will only rob grain on this road when looking for death." Besides, along the way, the more precipitous places, the more desolate and populated places, the Ming army did not appear, and there will be no appearance here! ”

"Lord Belle, be careful!" Yanguli continued to advise, "Sending out a horse does not need to spend too much material, before leaving, the emperor repeatedly explained that the safety of this batch of grain and grass materials must be guaranteed." Whether Liaodong can survive this year and whether it can recover in the coming year depends on this batch of grain and grass materials......"

Hearing that he moved out of Huang Taiji again to press him, although he was annoyed, he had no choice, so between Zhenjiang Fort and Tangzhan Fort, Manchu exploration horses began to appear, and there was an endless stream of exchanges. As soon as the traces of the Ming army are found on this road, the news can be immediately transmitted to Zhenjiang Fort and Tangzhan Fort.

On Lu Xiangsheng's side, when Gao Yingyuan told the abnormal situation on the official road, he knew that the grain protection team was not far from here. So, the military order was passed down and preparations for battle began.

After the military order was issued, he said to Cao Bianjiao: "Whether you can give the Manchu army a heavy blow this time depends on your new army!" ”

His own hussar battalion was only eight hundred. As for the infantry of the Dongjiang Army, it is now used in field battles, and it is still somewhat difficult to take the initiative to attack the Jurchen elite and be able to win it. Because of this, it was not sent out at all this time.

Among the 4,000 Ming troops sent out, in addition to the hussar battalion, there were also 500 elites of the Guanning cavalry, and the other horse infantry troops were all members of the new army. Therefore, this army used to fight the Manchu Qing field was mainly based on the new army.

"Lord Zhongcheng, rest assured, the new army trained by the emperor is to fight field battles and win battles." Master Supervisor Feng Dehua didn't wait for Cao Bianjiao to speak, but said with a smile first, "There is no problem in dealing with these prisoners!" ”

Cao Bianjiao also nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Zhongcheng, the last general will personally lead the army to the battle, and he will definitely defeat the enemy as soon as possible." The Jurchen elite is also a human being, and their morale is premature, and they are no longer the army that could rush to attack when they saw the Ming army! ”

Seeing that both of them were full of confidence, Lu Xiangsheng was very satisfied. At the same time, he was also slightly envious, he had seen the military discipline and combat effectiveness of the new army with his own eyes, and commanding such an army was really the wish of every leader!

Early the next morning, the gate of Zhenjiang Fort was opened, and a team of scouting horses roared out, along the official road, to Tangzhan Fort and rode quickly. At the same time, on the side of Tangzhan Fort, Tanma, who stayed here last night, also roared towards Zhenjiang Fort. On the official road, every quarter of an hour, you can see a team of Manchu exploration horses passing by like thieves.

In fact, the speed of these probe horses has been much faster, originally on the Korean side, these Manchu scouts all the way to investigate, looking around on the road, walking very slowly, and at the same time very vigilant, what is going on both sides of the road, they have to be verified.

These people, naturally, knew that when the Ming army ambushed the grain transport team in the past, they would dig pits on the official road or set up obstacles, and this would choose a place where there was no Qing army in the surrounding area that could rescue in time. But now this section of the road, now this place, is different from the previous situation, no matter how good the Ming army is, it is impossible to set up an ambush here!

All the way from Seoul, no trace of the Ming army has been found, and not even a single Ming army has not been found at night. They're a little sloppy, and they're a lot faster on the road. If the Ming army wants to fight these grains, they will at least find traces of the night harvest first, right?

"After all, Lord Yanguli is old, and this courage has become smaller, so he has to urge our master to send us out!" One of the scouts looked around a little boredly, urging the horse to hurry up and say to his accomplices.

Obviously, this scout is all Azig and has an opinion about Yanguli. Hearing him speak, another detective said with a smile: "Forget it, at least we can eat first when we come out, it's worth it!" ”

"That's right, usually if I don't go on a mission, I'm hungry, you see, I've lost a lot of weight!" The third Manchu Tanma also sighed, and even patted his thigh and said.

Hearing his words, the other Manchu detectives couldn't help but feel the same way, and they all said that they had lost a lot of weight or something. These Manchu detectives just laughed all the way, and walked perfunctorily along the official road to the ground to complete the task.

When the first batch of Manchu horses from Tangzhan Fort arrived at Zhenjiang Fort and said that there were no accidents on the way, Azig said to Yanguli in a provocative tone: "How, can we hurry?" If we are on the road for one more day, we will consume one more day's amount of food! If there is less food to bring back to Shenyang, the emperor will be unhappy! ”

"There's nothing wrong with being careful!" Yanguli insisted, but there was no reason to stop it at this time, and after saying this, he nodded, "There is no matter, that is the best." ”

Azig listened, a little too lazy to pay attention to him, an old man, old, the courage of his youth has long been gone, he would have died early, and he would have wasted the food of the Qing Dynasty alive.

With this in mind, he gave the order to set off.

All of a sudden, the grain protection army, which had been waiting impatiently, carried a cart of grain and grass materials, and in the envious eyes of the defenders of Zhenjiang Fort, the fish came out in a row, forming a long snake, along the official road, towards Tangzhan Fort.

On the official road of Liaodong, which was originally sparsely populated, the popularity became active, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from time to time, and the dust brought up by the grain army could be seen from afar.

Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, saw this movement from a distance, and asked Wei Mulan beside him again: "Contact North Korea, is there any sign of the 1,000 troops who are bullish on return?" ”

Wei Mulan immediately agreed, and then entered the chat group to ask Li Deming. After a while, he withdrew and said, "The army of Duoduo has not been seen since they returned to Seoul yesterday, and they should not return suddenly." ”

Ambushing this food protection team, whether it is the military strength of Tangzhan Fort or Zhenjiang Fort, is not to worry, after all, the army in this kind of place is estimated to be hungry every day, even if it comes out for reinforcements, it is not much different from sending people to the head. The only thing to worry about is Duoduo's army, which is all Jurchen elite, and along the way, they are full of food every day, and their combat effectiveness is still there.

After everything was confirmed, Lu Xiangsheng made a decision, looked at the generals around him, and ordered with a serious face: "According to the prior arrangement, attack!" ”

"The last general obeys!" When Cao Bianjiao and the others heard this, they immediately clasped their fists with both hands, with a hint of excitement and high morale, and responded loudly.

On the official road, sitting on a slow-walking war horse, Azig turned his head to look at the road, and he could no longer see Zhenjiang Fort behind him. He looked back and forth at the long line of grain carts, and his heart was full of pride. At the beginning, the emperor told him that the more grain he brought back from Seoul, the greater his credit.

To his delight, Dorgon did not bother much, and did give a large amount of food. Along the way, except for the first few days, when Azig gave his troops a full meal, the rest of the time, he thought that he could bring more food back to Liaoyang, so he reduced the food supply for those Han troops.

After arriving in Sinuiju, Azig saw that he was already "safe", so he reduced the supply of his subordinates, only about two-thirds of the previous one. Even the 1,000 troops that Yanguli had brought, he didn't actually supply them in sufficient quantities. This army is used to being hungry in Liaodong, even if they give them less, they are actually grateful to Dade, which is really funny. Only the horses running back and forth, still did not reduce the weight.

Now, looking at this cart of grain, a smile appeared on Azig's face. When he returned to Shenyang this time, the food he brought back would definitely surprise the emperor. Hehe, there have always been people who think they are simple-minded, and this time, it is to prove to others who is simple-minded!
