The information obtained by the Tanma of the Jiaozhou battalion and the officials and people of Beizhili was that most of the Qing army was between Qinghe and Weixian, but suddenly there was news that the Qing army broke into Shandong from Linqing.

Li Meng's side was very angry, thinking that I led the army out to pursue, but was actually pursued by the other party to his hometown, this battle was really confused, and immediately ordered the whole army to fight, and sent most of the cavalry to the original so-called garrison place to search, but the cavalry just went out.

There was news from Guangping Mansion that it was just more than 10,000 people and livestock captured by the Qing army between Qinghe and Wei County, and more than 1,000 people were wearing Tartar clothes and swaying outside every day, and it seemed that there were more than 1,000 real Tartar soldiers guarding them, but they also disappeared the day before yesterday.

The intelligence network in charge of Huang Ping also sent the news, and the messenger was a team member of Li Mengjun that day, who was selected by Huang Ping to do these things to find out the news, of course, because I liked to do this.

Li Meng had already ordered the whole army to prepare to set off, and the spy he saw on the horse, he was already very angry, this time he was led by the Tartar by the nose and played, it was his own intelligence network that was too uncompetitive, but the army could not lose its demeanor and steadiness before, but coldly asked the other party to send the information up.

"The Tartars are rushing eastward from Linqing, and they have led people to follow, and the news will be delivered at any time."

"Why, Huang Ping has such a big basket, don't you dare to come to see me?"

Hearing Li Meng say this immediately, the team kneeling below knew that his main general was already angry, Li Meng was indeed angry, Hou Shanna and other caravans naturally couldn't find out any news when they were in this war, but this Huang Ping recruited all Jianghu people, aren't these Jianghu people all known as martial arts masters, how can they not even find out the news.

The spy had already stood up, but when he heard Li Meng's words, he knelt down again, kowtowed three times, and said in a solemn voice:

"Before leaving, Commander Huang said, if the general is not angry, let me rush back, if the general is angry, Commander Huang will let me talk about the situation on the front line in detail."

Li Meng nodded silently, and walked his horse to the side of the road, the pro-military camp was left and right, the army was already moving, heading in the direction of Linqing, and the spy began to tell what happened to the spies.

When the Jiaozhou battalion was stationed in Dezhou, the range of reconnaissance cavalry was all over the southern part of Hejian Province, and the same was true of the cavalry of the Qing army, and the range of activities was even much larger than that of the Jiaozhou battalion.

The battlefield blocking ability of the Tatar cavalry is far greater than that of the horse team of the Jiaozhou battalion, and these barbarian cavalry have an advantage, that is, as long as they see a suspicious person, they can kill without hesitation.

The spies led by Huang Ping were difficult to get close to within thirty miles, and most of the places in North China were plains, and those Qing army rangers knew very well where they could hide people and where they were easy to hide, and after they began to track, they were shot and killed by most of these Tartar horsemen with excellent martial arts skills and smart ears and eyes.

Most of the people who followed Huang Ping to do this spy were Jianghu people in Shandong and those who were unwilling to be restrained by the military camp, sneaking around Shandong, spying around, that was what they had to do on weekdays, but they didn't think it was like that, and the Jiaozhou camp was rich and rich, and it was beneficial to follow the Jiaozhou camp, and the identity was also decent.

But in Beizhili to follow the Tartars to spy on it, it was really a pure head-killing business, how could these Jianghu people who had been working for less than half a year have this will. No matter how much Huang Ping offered a heavy reward, Xiao Yiyi, these people are unwilling and dare not continue to follow, and even Huang Ping said that if you don't go now, you will have no place to live in Shandong in the future, but the other party is not afraid at all, and some people even replied with a sneer, "Who knows if the Tartar is coming, and you Jiaozhou Li Erlang will have a place to live in Shandong in the future."

Huang Ping had no choice but to lead the only remaining people into battle in person, originally this intelligence organization had sufficient personnel, each responsible for the corresponding direction, and now the remaining people are responsible for a direction is a little difficult, to put it bluntly, there are only a dozen people, all of them are officers and soldiers from the Jiaozhou battalion that day, and they are loyal.

Fortunately, after the Qing army crossed the canal in Linqing, they rushed to the east with all their might, and the scope of cavalry activities became a lot smaller, but even so, Huang Ping's dozen people died six or seven. However, Huang Ping and they have also found some way, such a large army, even the traces left by the rush are obvious, Huang Ping is simply hanging far behind, and after entering Shandong, many relationships can also be used.

Basically, the news of the day was transmitted to Li Meng on the same day by the fast horse, and this messenger was the first person to come back.

Hearing this, Li Meng sighed, turned over and got off the horse, and stretched out his hand to help the spy who was kneeling there up, what he said was obviously a very tragic thing, but the spy was calm on his face, as if he was talking about an ordinary family matter, I don't know why, Li Meng's heart popped up with the words of fire refining real gold.

When he was helping him up, Li Meng still saw a trace of excitement in the other party's eyes, Li Meng reached out and patted the spy on the shoulder, and said slowly:

"I'm wrong to blame you, your name is Jiang Xianxuan, what do you need, just say it, Ben will organize it for you!"

When he was reprimanded by Li Meng, the spy looked as usual and calmly recounted his situation, but when Li Meng called out his name and asked Wen Yan, Jiang Xianqiu was a little unbearable, and wanted to kneel again, but was held up by Li Meng, tears couldn't stop flowing, and his voice was a little choked and said:

"General Daen, treat your subordinates like this, and it will be difficult for your subordinates to repay them even if they are broken."

With such a loyal and brave subordinate, Li Meng naturally wants to be treated kindly, smiled, and said in a relaxed atmosphere:

"Good man, what are you crying about, go down and rest, wait and report to Wang Hai's side, you can go straight to the camp if you ask to see in the future, and if there is any news, you will step up the communication."

Jiang Xianxuan wiped away his tears, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed a few times, and said:

"The villain must pass the news to Commander Huang, the lives of the brothers have long been handed over to Lord Li, and the news of the Tartar must be clearly reported to the adults."

There are people who lead them down to settle down, but Li Meng asked the people around him to bring the map, the map of these years is extremely simple, Li Meng's map is said to still have Western missionaries involved, but it is also far from the tourist map he saw in modern times, Li Meng also relied on his memory to make some additions.

At present, the large army of the Qing army completely abandoned the population and property looted in Beizhili and went straight to Shandong, and it was in the direction of Jinan, but Li Meng did not dare to judge the direction of the Qing army as in Dezhou, and all actions may be tricks to confuse himself and the Ming army.

These Tartar soldiers and horses must not be just to sabotage the entry into Shandong, but must be harvested, every time the Qing army enters the customs, it is to plunder people, livestock and property.

A large number of displaced people from various provinces inside the Guanxi Province emerged, and Li Meng concentrated the scattered manpower to save himself through the Tuntian Grange, which obviously had a good effect.

The finances of the Ming court were already on the verge of bankruptcy, and it was impossible to organize effective production to save itself, while the Manchu Qing outside the customs relied on the population, livestock and property captured by the Ming Dynasty to increase their free labor and serfs to tide over the difficulties.

Where is the most plundering place in Shandong?

The richest are nothing more than three places, Jinan Mansion, the southern part of Yanzhou Mansion, the southern part of Laizhou Mansion, the southern part of Laizhou Mansion, and the southern part of Laizhou Mansion is where Li Meng has run it over the years, but the wealth is only known to his own family, and even if there are secret agents in the Tartars, it is impossible to know too clearly.

And for the Manchu army, the southern part of Laizhou is too deep, there is no official waterway that can be relied on, then the remaining targets are Jining Prefecture and Jinan Fucheng, Jining Prefecture is just along the Caoyun line, the army must move along the waterway, but the Qing army rushing to the east is no longer waterway.

This Qing army's action should not be a feint, his target is Jinan City, and the Tartars have no extra time and space to go to other places or play tricks.

In fact, the Qing army defeated the field forces mobilized by the Ming court in Beizhili, and at least for a month and a half, no one could threaten the actions of the Qing army.

The target is Jinan, Li Meng can only speed up his march and rush to Jinan, just thinking in his heart: The six or seven thousand men and horses of the general soldier Qiu Lei are near Jinan City, even if six or seven thousand pigs are caught by the other party, at least the speed of the Tartar soldiers and horses can be delayed.

God knows, though......
