Kneel down and beg for subscription, thank you for the boat!

According to Li Yuanqing's status at this time, in fact, he is already on the same level as Mao Wenlong, although in terms of rank, Li Yuanqing is slightly lower than Mao Wenlong, but on formal occasions, Li Yuanqing no longer needs to kneel to Mao Wenlong, just give his hands and clench his fists.

But at this time, the prison guards Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang were both sent to the big tent by Li Yuanqing to wait and greet Mao Wenlong.

Around him, there are Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong's henchmen and generals.

What does Li Yuanqing want, who dares to gossip?

And the reason why he knelt down to Mao Wenlong was not that Li Yuanqing was deliberately delicate and pretentious, elevating or even 'killing' Mao Wenlong, but in Li Yuanqing's heart, Mao Wenlong was worthy of respect and worthy of him kneeling down.

If there was no Mao Wenlong, how could he come to Liaodi today?

If there is no Mao Wenlong, how many people in Liaodi should be miserable and forced to become the slaves of Houjin, pigs and dogs are not as good.

If there was no Mao Wenlong, how could Li Yuanqing's future be so smooth?

Especially at this time, I am afraid that when Mao Wenlong's heart is also uneasy, Li Yuanqing must use practical actions to support Mao Wenlong.

"The handsome man has worked hard all the way, and the humble duty has prepared a banquet. Marshal, please come here. ā€

Mao Wenlong personally helped Li Yuanqing up, and Li Yuanqing naturally didn't hold it up, so he helped Mao Wenlong with a smile and welcomed him to the camp gate.

Mao Wenlong glanced at Li Yuanqing and the generals around him, and couldn't help nodding again and again, and in his old eyes, there were faint tears flashing, "Okay!" All right! ā€

Since the end of November, the heavy snow has been drifting for more than ten days in a row, almost obscuring the sky, and the weather has cooled down a lot.

Li Yuanqing estimated that the temperature must be at least minus 15 degrees, or even about 20 degrees.

Although there are children in the camp who have been clearing the snow, it has been covered with a layer of white in a short time.

Li Yuanqing personally helped Mao Wenlong and went straight to his Chinese army tent, and behind him, a large number of generals from various departments followed.

Everyone was not a stranger, and there was a lot of greeting and laughter.

When they came to the door of the big tent, Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang had been waiting for a long time, and hurriedly greeted them with a smile and saluted Mao Wenlong respectfully.

They're not stupid.

Just looking at the preparations for welcoming Mao Wenlong before, they already know Li Yuanqing's intentions for this reception, although they don't rely on Mao Wenlong to eat, how dare they not give Li Yuanqing face?

Ma Gonggong, the superintendent of the Dongjiang headquarters, was also a little staggering.

It's not what it used to be.

Although he is no longer the protagonist, Li Yuanqing's reception specifications today make him feel the glory of the past again.

With Li Yuanqing in this town, a banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, everyone drank a lot of wine, and the fatigue of the journey also dissipated a lot at once.

After eating, the congregation dispersed and set up camp temporarily.

Li Yuanqing invited Mao Wenlong to his big tent.

At this time, although the wind and snow were shaking outside, the big tent was sealed very tightly, and the brazier was 'crackling', isolating the outside world, as if it had come to spring.

Mao Wenlong was already seven or eight points drunk, and his face was flushed, but his spirit was excellent.

After he sat down, Li Yuanqing personally served him tea and sat opposite Mao Wenlong's head.

Mao Wenlong smiled and took a sip of tea, "Yuanqing, you have a heart." I want to thank you for this battle of Uiju. ā€

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said, "Marshal, you are a humble father. It is a privilege to work for you. ā€

Mao Wenlong looked at Li Yuanqing's sincere eyes, smiled and nodded, "Yuanqing, you are a good boy!" It's a pity that the support I gave you before was not enough. ā€

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Dashuai, don't say that. The humble function has today, all relying on your support and care, Yuanqing remembered this. ā€

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

The ups and downs are all turned into jade silk in this smile.

Mao Wenlong took a sip of tea, his expression gradually became solemn, and he looked at Li Yuanqing's eyes, "Yuanqing, what do you think about the battle in Zhenjiang?" ā€

Li Yuanqing pondered for a moment, and then said: "Dashuai, Zhenjiang is a hornet's nest. Desirable, not desirable. Take has the benefit of taking. If you don't take it, you also have the advantage of not taking it. In the past, he also hesitated for a long time because of this matter. But after you came, the heart of the humble position was much firmer. ā€

Li Yuanqing said, looking at Mao Wenlong's eyes with a smile.

Mao Wenlong couldn't help laughing, "Yuanqing, you kid." Still so ghostly! ā€

As he spoke, he looked directly into Li Yuanqing's eyes, and slowly exhaled a breath and said, "Yuanqing, I understand your intentions." If I attack Zhenjiang, you will definitely not wait and sit idly by. I don't want that, though. Yuanqing, I want to hear what you really think in your heart. ā€

Li Yuanqing nodded, but did not hesitate, "Great Marshal, although the main force of Houjin has not retreated at this time, it is not impossible to attack Zhenjiang. Zhenjiang City has been operated by Houjin for several years and is already the core of Liaodong. At this time, there are still many main forces in Houjin gathered in Zhenjiang, and there must be a lot of materials in the city. Since our army wants to attack, we must have the intention of taking it! ā€

Although Li Yuanqing's words were subtle, how could Mao Wenlong not understand the meaning? He nodded and said, "Not bad." Big husband, words must be done, deeds must be fruitful. Attack must win, battle must win! However, at this time, the Yalu River has been frozen, and in fact, we have lost the advantage of the fleet. Yuanqing, the way out, can you think about it? ā€

Li Yuanqing said: "Dashuai, tell the truth. In this battle, since it was decided to attack Zhenjiang, the humble post was not ready to retreat! We must conquer Zhenjiang City, and wait until the spring of the next year will bloom and the river will thaw! ā€

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "Yuanqing, well said, well said!" I suddenly found out, why, in the past few years, in terms of war, in terms of results, I am not as good as you! Hahaha! ā€

…………

reached an agreement with Mao Wenlong, and the next thing left was implementation.

In the two parts at this time, who dares to rebel against the authority of the two?

In fact, the reason why Li Yuanqing made this decision was also the consequence of gritting his teeth and persevering after learning from the pain.

According to the situation at this time, Li Yuanqing has actually been pulled onto the thief ship by Mao Wenlong, and it is impossible to completely hide and avoid it.

Instead of letting Mao Wenlong and the Dongjiang headquarters go to Zhenjiang to touch the ashes again, it is better for Li Yuanqing to accompany Mao Wenlong and give it a go!

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

has been with Mao Wenlong for a long time, even though Mao Wenlong has personal flaws, Li Yuanqing cannot deny that he is a qualified Shangguan and a kind elder, and he has helped Li Yuanqing a lot in all aspects.

There is an old Chinese saying that goes, 'The grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring'.

The appearance of Li Yuanqing robbed the stage that originally belonged to Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang, making them only a supporting role.

And Zhenjiang City can be said to be the long-cherished wish of Mao Wenlong's life.

Even if he can't help Mao Wenlong change his fate, Li Yuanqing will try his best to help him realize this long-cherished wish.

Compared with the regret and anxiety in the heart, a few human lives, what can it be counted?

…………

Mao Wenlong arrived on the morning of the ninth day of the lunar month, and in the evening, the army began to embark on the journey north to Zhenjiang!

At this time, the southern part of Liaoning and the northern part of the Dongjiang River combined, the number of people has exceeded 50,000, overwhelming, everywhere is the banner of the Ming army, the sun and the moon are surging, and the waves are rolling.

The sons and daughters of the Dongjiang headquarters were tired from the journey and had to stay in the camp for a day of rest, while Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Camp and Chen Zhongbu embarked on the journey overnight.

There is a saying in later generations that is very straightforward, 'Time is life!' ’

Since he decided to take Zhenjiang, Li Yuanqing must be fully prepared.

And the most fundamental thing is that we must firmly grasp every minute and every second.

At this time, the weather was freezing and the weather conditions were extremely bad, and in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, Li Yuanqing could only think about everything in front.

Li Yuanqing was already very familiar with the road from Jiangkou to Zhenjiang.

As early as the first year of the Apocalypse, Li Yuanqing had traveled back and forth on this road many times.

The river had been frozen, and after arriving at the mouth of the river, Li Yuanqing directly ordered the army to set foot on the river and march north along the river.

Although the river is covered with a lot of snow, the terrain dictates that the river is in a terrain position, and the process of snow freezing is faster.

This time it was much faster than walking to the shore where it was deep and shallow.

With sappers in front of them, the children only need to defend against wind and snow to prevent frostbite, without worrying about breaking their feet and hurting their bodies.

Seven days later, on the sixteenth day of the lunar month, Li Yuanqing's army appeared outside Zhenjiang City as promised.

The army was three miles south of Zhenjiang City, and camped down.

The sentinels of Houjin had already learned the news of the arrival of the Ming army, but the momentum of the Ming army was like a rainbow, especially Li Yuanqing's immortal camp, and they did not dare to go out of the city rashly.

With the presence of snow and the fact that it was so cold, it was much easier to set up camp than before.

Heavy snow is the best material.

And the sons and daughters of the Immortal Camp are already extremely skilled in this regard.

Soon, the camp was established in size and in order.

In the evening, Mao Wenlong also arrived smoothly, and together with Li Yuanqing, under the escort of hundreds of personal soldiers, came to two miles away to observe the situation in Zhenjiang City.

According to the intelligence, at this time, Zhenjiang City was left behind by Daishan and Amin, but whether the two were still in Zhenjiang City or not, the inner should not be able to get any definite news.

However, just looking at the scale of Zhenjiang City's defense, Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong have already understood, eight ~ nine times out of ten, these two masters have not left.

How could the old slave give up Zhenjiang so easily?

It's going to be an uphill battle.

Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong rode on a tall horse, surrounded by elite cavalry guards.

It can't be said that Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong are careless, congenital disadvantages, and Houjin's cavalry sentinels, so they must not be unguarded.

"Dashuai, Zhenjiang is well defended. But the original camp before, they gave up and shrank back into the city. You can see that they don't want to go head-to-head with us. Li Yuanqing said with a smile.

Mao Wenlong nodded, but said: "Yuanqing, in my memory, since the rise of the old slaves, this is still the first time that our Ming army, in the front, besieged the fortress of the Jin army after the attack, right?" ā€
