Three days later, on the evening of May 11. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There were a few groups, about six or seven Niulu's Tartars, five or six thousand people, who were forced to the west and north of Haizhou City respectively, full of vigilance to inquire about the movement on the head of Haizhou City.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong soon got the news, and together with Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang, they came to the city to investigate the situation.

"You rebels and thieves! Let me go, let us go! You are more hateful than Tartars! Lord Warden, Lord Warden, you are the close ministers of the Son of Heaven! You, you must save us! ”

Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang have not shown up these days.

After all, there is such a thing as 'coercing' the Han people in the city to be slaves, and if they don't see it, they don't know it.

But when they really saw it, like at this point, they were embarrassed. This statement is not a statement, nor is it a non-statement.

At this time, in the crowd of people who had just walked to the city and were carrying defensive equipment under the city wall, a fat man in his early fifties couldn't help but shout loudly, with a handful of snot and tears, and desperately kowtowed to Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang.

Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang obviously didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, this fat man was obviously an understanding person, and he immediately stirred up everyone's emotions.

In a moment, the more than 100 Han slaves who were working put down their work and kowtowed desperately to Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang.

"Lord Warden, save us, save us!"

"We are also the people of the Ming Dynasty......"

The weather was very cool today, the breeze was very soft, and it was not very hot, but in a moment, the cold sweat on Wei Liang's forehead oozed out, and he looked at Li Yuanqing busily, "Li Shuai, this, this ......"

Zhang Qiliang also wanted to pee a little, and he was also busy looking at Li Yuanqing, wanting to say something, but he moved his throat, but he didn't say it.

Although he is also close to Li Yuanqing, after all, he is the supervisor of Chen Zhong's department, and at this moment, he naturally does not dare to take the lead easily.

After all, there are some words that Wei Liang said better.

Li Yuanqing glanced around lightly, and his gaze stayed on the fat man's face for only two seconds, but there were not too many waves on Yingting's face.

For a moment, he directly chose to ignore the fat man and this gang, and said to Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang with a smile: "Two prison lords, please come here." The momentum of the Tartars this time is not small, and we must deal with it closely. ”

Why didn't Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang understand what Li Yuanqing meant at this time? Not daring to stop here for a moment, he hurriedly climbed the stairs of the city wall.

Behind him, there was a sudden 'crackling' whip and the screams of terror and pain.

"Dog offal, do you still want to eat? Why don't you fucking go to work? If you say more than half a word slowly, Lao Tzu will beat you to death! ”

"Master, master, the little one knows it's wrong, and the little one doesn't dare anymore."

“……”

When he came to the city, Wei Liang calmed down a little, but as soon as he saw the continuous banners of the Houjin Army not far away, his nerves suddenly tightened again, and he hurriedly said: "Li Shuai, this, this great enemy is current, but we are inside, but ...... How, how is this going to be? ”

"Internal?"

Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled faintly, "Lord Supervisor, our Haizhou City is now solid and stable as a rock, why do you have any worries?" If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate again. ”

"Huh?" Wei Liang was stunned for a moment, and instinctively walked quickly to the city wall and took a look.

After a moment, he suddenly reacted, all the Han slaves were working hard under the strict guard of the soldiers, just as Li Yuanqing said, where did the hidden worries come from?

"What Li Shuai said is very true, it is the slave who lost her words, please Li Shuai Haihan, please also invite Li Shuai Haihan." Wei Liang hurriedly bowed his hand to Li Yuanqing again and again.

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly, glanced behind him, and said with a smile: "That's the case, two prison lords, let's pay attention to the situation of the frontal tartars." Look at this appearance, the main force of the Tartars, you can arrive in a few days. ”

However, although he was dealing with Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang on his lips, Li Yuanqing also had some bad feelings in his heart.

For these Han slaves, Li Yuanqing was actually tolerant enough, although he confiscated their personal property, but kept their lives safe, and did not condemn them anymore and kill them all.

But at this time, the main force of Houjin was approaching, and at this juncture, someone still jumped out.

Moreover, this person is obviously an understanding person, and wants to take advantage of this moment to pick things.

Rao is Li Yuanqing's mind, but he is also a little uneasy for a while.

It is no wonder that the sages said, 'Show talent rebels, and it will not be done in ten years'.

The 'elite' of these Han slaves, their brains are not bad, but unfortunately, they have never been used in the right place.

For these people, how could Li Yuanqing possibly forgive them?

Even if you don't take their lives, you have to let them understand what is the bottom line of being a human being.

The Han slave disturbance was just a small episode, and Li Yuanqing quickly focused his attention on the battle formation of the Houjin army in front.

At this time, in the west of the city, there were about four Niu Lu's troops, two with yellow flags, one with yellow flags, and one with white flags.

Although they were separated by a distance of two miles, it could still be seen that they were quite tired, the war horses under their crotches were constantly snorting, and many of them were covered by heavy mud in bright colors of clothes.

Chen Zhong said: "Yuanqing, the Niu Lu with yellow flags and positive yellow flags have all come over, presumably, the old slave is not far away." This old thing can be tossed so much, his old bones can really withstand tossing! ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "The old slave is also a dragon and phoenix among people." For this battle, we must not be careless. ”

Chen Zhong nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Yuanqing." Inside the city, I'll be staring to death. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly had an idea, "Yuanqing, at this time, the Houjin army has not yet established a stable foothold, and it has not yet set up camp. You see, at night, can we sneak over and take their nest away? ”

Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang also cheered up all of a sudden, and looked at Li Yuanqing busily.

Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, but slowly shook his head, "Although Houjin is tired, he is full of cavalry. It's more than two miles apart, and it's hard for us to cross it. The war has not yet begun, so we should be safe. ”

Chen Zhong understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and nodded hurriedly, "Damn, it's a pity." If we had war horses, how could we let these dog tartars be so arrogant? ”

…………

At this time, the Ming army was probing the Houjin army, but the Houjin army was also probing the Ming army at the head of the city.

And the commander of the Houjin Army on the opposite side is none other than Tan Bai and Meng Gang, who had met Li Yuanqing in Dajianshan before.

Looking at the Ming army flag fluttering in the wind on the head of the city, and a red 'Li' flag, which was particularly conspicuous, Tan Bai was about to bite off his teeth, and gritted his teeth and said in a dark voice: "Li Yuanqing, this dog is on the city, right now!" ”

Meng Gangdu also saw Li Yuanqing's banner, and he also hated it in his heart, but the fire in the Dajianshan camp burned out his seven souls, and facing Li Yuanqing again, although there was a lot of hatred in his heart, there was more fear.

Busy said: "Lord Tan Bai, Li Yuanqing defends the city very closely, we don't have any chance." ”

Tan Bai slowly exhaled a long breath and nodded, "Li Yuanqing is a dragon and a phoenix among people." It's a pity that this guy has ruined my big gold several times, how can he be tolerated? This time, this guy actually dared to come to Haizhou City rampantly, how could we let him go? ”

Meng Gang was busy and said, "Lord Tan Bai, do you have any good plans?" ”

Tan Bai suddenly sneered in a gloomy voice, "This matter, it's not in a hurry." The Great Khan, they will not be able to come until the day after tomorrow. What we have is time, play slowly with Li Yuanqing. ”

…………

After inspecting the situation in the city, Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang went back to rest, while Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong came to the river under the city gate.

Different from other cities, there is a big river in Haizhou City, which runs through the city from east to west, enters at the west gate and exits near the east gate, connecting the river water of the entire moat.

After a few days of hard work and repairing the city, Li Yuanqing basically couldn't find a flaw in other aspects, but Li Yuanqing was a little uneasy about this river.

"Yuanqing, don't worry. It's summer, and instead of being a nuisance, the river is a great benefit. Unless, is it the Tartars who blocked the river in front of them and released water to rush the city? ”

Chen Zhong said, and Dusk was taken aback.

Back then, in Fuzhou City, Huang Taiji used such a tactic, drinking the water of the Shahe River to build a dam, and then rushing down.

Fortunately, it was Li Yuanqing who was fully prepared and built a drainage channel underground in advance, so that Huang Taiji's trick did not succeed.

But at this time, the rainy season is coming, and they have no time to dig drainage tunnels again.

Li Yuanqing shook his head, "Big brother, I'm not worried that the Tartars will release water to rush the city. Once they intercept the flow in the upper class, we can easily see it. Moreover, this consumable material consumes energy, the old slave is not Huang Taiji, he will never choose like this. ”

"Huh? It seems to be the same thing. So, Yuanqing, what are you worried about? Chen Zhong looked at Li Yuanqing.

"Draught."

Li Yuanqing said directly, "Although most of the people in the city drink the well water, most of the livestock drink the river water directly. If the dog tartar is in this river water, even if the underground sediment layer can filter out some impurities, it is still unreassuring. ”

"Layers of sediment? Filtration? Chen Zhong couldn't figure it out for a while, and looked at Li Yuanqing with some embarrassment.

Li Yuanqing suddenly came back to his senses, with Chen Zhong's knowledge, how could he understand this?

However, the matter is very important, and Li Yuanqing still has the patience to explain the groundwater filtration process to Chen Zhong in detail.

After a long time, Chen Zhong finally came back to his senses and said busily: "Yuanqing, you mean, if the Tartars are doing their tricks in this river, then our well water will also be polluted?" ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "That's right, big brother." Therefore, in this regard, we must be vigilant and take precautions. ”

Since the formation of the Changsheng Battalion, Li Yuanqing has always attached great importance to the diet and health safety of the soldiers.

With the experience of later generations, he deeply understands that once a seemingly inconspicuous minor illness is spread, especially in the military, it can easily cause devastating consequences.

Finally, after a lot of hardships and sacrifices the lives of countless brothers, in exchange for today's small achievements, how could Li Yuanqing allow himself to capsize in the gutter?

At this time, this river seems inconspicuous, but summer is coming, mosquitoes are beginning to increase, although the Houjin army on the west side is downstream at this time, but on the east side, they will never let go.

In this way, even if they don't do anything with the river, even if they simply throw the horse manure of the war horse into the river upstream, it will be a difficult trouble for the Ming army to deal with.
