This is still because he crossed the river at midnight yesterday, and he came to Partridge Town to set up camp and toss for a long time before he fell asleep.

There was a large open space west of Partridge Town, where Wu Yi's army could easily set up camp, and a small river flowed out of the mountains and forests to the north and flowed in front of the camp. The wind rises in the mountains and forests, whistling, and the pine waves in the distance are gusting, and the wind is also a little cool.

King Liang's tent is in the north of the camp, and Lian Zining's tent is very close, although Lian Zining is not so respectful and flattering to him, but the necessary pomp is still needed. The big tent of the king of Liang is made of fine white cloth, with a square circle of ten zhang, and the surface of the tent is also embroidered with gold thread into a large number of patterns, which is extremely complex and gorgeous. In front of the camp, there is a yellow dragon flag, and around the camp are dozens of red flags embroidered with golden dragons, hunting and flying in the wind, which are particularly conspicuous and can be seen from afar.

When King Liang entered the tent, he paced back and forth, his emotions were very hesitant, he gritted his teeth for a while, and his face was full of confidence in his hands, but for a while his face showed a look of fear.

Wanrong said worriedly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Did Lian Zining tell you something just now, why is it like this? ”

Her face changed, and she immediately became gloomy: "Lian Zining threatened you?" ”

"That's right, Lian Zining Fang just said something to me, but it's not a threat." King Liang shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly: "He dug a pit for me, I had to jump into it!" ”

Wu Yijun's efficiency was extremely high, but it was only a little more than half a day's effort, and the surviving residents of Partridge Town had already been relocated to the east of the Songhua River. It's also a better option for them. Although it is difficult to leave the homeland, the land of Jiangxi will fall into a war at any time. They are losing their lives by staying here. Although it is the best time to land the land at this time, it may not be impossible to rush it. After all, corn is a crop that has a short growing season, and a lot of heat and water are needed.

And Partridge Town has been completely cleared, all the ruins and broken walls have been demolished into a white ground, and the corpses have been dug and buried.

The barracks have basically been built, and the palace is beginning to take shape. With the existence of cement, which can be said to be an artifact of construction, the speed of construction of any building is greatly enhanced, with the guidance of a large number of craftsmen and tens of thousands of Jurchen slave soldiers as strong laborers, even a twenty-mile-long cement road from the Songhua River to Partridge Town has begun to be built, on the west bank of the Songhua River opposite the Orimi Station. A pier has been built.

When King Liang woke up, it was already dark.

The guards came to report, Wu Yibo just sent someone to summon the news, there is something important to discuss with His Highness, please wake up and go to the Shuai tent to have dinner and discuss important matters.

"This king knows, step down." King Liang waved his hand, and the guard retreated without mentioning it.

Cui Wanrong said indignantly: "This Lian Zining is too big." Your Royal Highness, you are a dignified angel, listen to the prince, he doesn't come to meet and wait, and let you go to his side? ”

King Liang was not angry. He smiled: "My two identities are nothing here in Lian Zining. Wanrong, you don't have to be angry. It's not very useful. We don't have any power, we don't have an army. It is necessary to rely on Wu Yibo on the outside and Dai Zhangpu on the inside. Since you have something to ask for, you have to lower your posture. Don't think so high of yourself, this will naturally be much more comfortable, don't you say? ”

Cui Wanrong's eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "Your Highness, you ......"

"Changed, hasn't it?"

King Liang smiled faintly: "People are under the low eaves, so they have to bow their heads!" It's just that for 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, feng shui takes turns, and we are not destined to be angry for a lifetime! ”

After washing, dressed up, dressed in a python robe with big sleeves, King Liang, who was high-crowned and broad-headed, walked towards Lian Zining's big tent surrounded by a group of guards.

On the way, I saw a large number of soldiers lined up in a neat line out of the camp, they were fully armed, and they were carrying large bags of dry food for the march, and behind the large army were a large number of carts carrying logistics baggage, which actually looked like they were going to march and fight. And King Liang noticed that the people who came out of the queue were all foot soldiers, and there were a lot of them. At the same time, many tents in the camp have been demolished.

"What, is this going to war?" King Liang asked the hundred households of Wu Yijun beside him.

This is a hundred households of the dragoons, and he and his one hundred and twelve dragoons are tasked with protecting the Liang king, and of course, by the way, there is surveillance.

"Back to Your Highness, the last general will not know." The young hundred households said respectfully.

I don't know if he really doesn't know or if he's hiding it from himself, King Liang snorted and didn't ask again.

Three days later, the palace of His Royal Highness King Liang was finally completed.

The palace is 100 zhang long and 50 zhang wide, which is slightly smaller than the scale of the palace regulated in the capital, but various buildings such as Yin'an Hall and palace walls are also readily available. Moreover, a large number of precious spices, wood, etc. are used in the process of building the palace, and countless gold, silver, pearls, jade, silk and satin are decorated, and the whole palace is also quite a rich palace, luxurious and exquisite.

On the day of completion, King Liang settled in, the soldiers of the forbidden army settled in the surrounding barracks, protected the palace, and King Liang feasted the generals of the Wuyi Army in the Yin'an Palace that night.

Perhaps to wait for the completion of this palace, or perhaps for some other reason, Wu Yijun stayed in Partridge Town for three days.

In three days, a large camp was built around the whole town of Partridge, with an earthen wall under it, a fence made of large timbers, and a deep trench dug outside, and the water of the river was drawn into it, and it was extremely strong, like a city. The camp is several miles away, and in the middle of it is the palace of King Liang and the camp of the forbidden army.

At the same time, the cement road leading from Partridge Town to the wharf on the west bank of the Songhua River was also repaired, and a large number of follow-up materials were transported to the camp by ship and land. These supplies are enough to support a protracted war.

Wu Yijun finally made a move.

On the third day of crossing the river, that is, on April 22, the 53rd year of Zhengde, the generals of the Lian Zining Conference. Assign combat missions.

The five armies of the Wuyi Army plus the pro-soldier battalion are divided into three attack clusters, the first cluster is under the jurisdiction of the First Cavalry Army and the Third Cavalry Army. with Yang Husheng as the head of the march; The second cluster is the Fourth Cavalry Army, and the marching commander is concurrently served by Dong Laohu, a staff general of the Fourth Cavalry Army; The third group is the pro-military battalion, the 5th Cavalry Army, and the 6th Cavalry Army. Lian Zining personally led the marching chief.

"Three armies, one north, one middle, and one south! The first cluster, led by Yang Husheng, attacked the southern line, and the goal was to take down all these places, such as Delunwei, Wuzhi Dewarming, Duolunwei, Amizhi Ground, Banshan Station, Mulan Hewei, Buyanwei and other places. Attack until the Mulan River is defended, don't provoke those White Lotus Sectists for the time being. As for how to fight, you can do it yourself. This official has only one request, that is, only win, not defeat, kill all the rebellions, recover the lost land, and give me back a Langlang river and mountain! Got it? ”

"The last general will obey the order!"

Yang Husheng, Zhao Nanjin, and the generals under their command shouted in unison.

Lian Zining nodded and continued: "The third cluster, this official is personally led." Attacking the northern front, the target is Luoshan, Dulu River, Tunhewei, Wutunhewei and other places, as for whether to fight Amin or not, and say otherwise. ”

"Second cluster. Led by Dong Laohu, he responded in the middle and waited for orders at any time. At the same time, it will not disperse, destroy enemy scouts and small forces. Cut off the eyes and ears of the enemy! Got it? ”

"The last general will obey the order!"

"Yes, everybody. That's where the setup goes. Set off in a short time, this is the first battle after our Wu Yi army crossed the river, we must do our best to play the majesty and domineering of our Wu Yi army! Lian Zining raised his arms and shouted, full of murderous anger: "My Wu Yi Army is invincible!" ”

"I, Wu Yijun, are invincible!"

The crowd shouted in unison.

After the meeting, they went down, but Lian Zining left Yang Husheng and Dong Laohu behind.

He took out two brocade bags from his sleeve, one red and one blue, embroidered with gold thread, very exquisite, and the mouth of the brocade was tightly bound by a rope. He handed over the red bag to Yang Husheng, but the blue one to Dong Laohu, and told the two: "These two bags, you two can only open them when you get to the ground, understand?" ”

Ace in the hole?

Both of them were a little confused, but they quickly collected the tips and obeyed the order.

The iron flow is rolling, and the murderous atmosphere is full of sky.

More than 66,000 elite cavalry of the Wu Yi Army, divided into three routes, are like three extremely sharp wedges, heading towards the west, killing fiercely!

Of course, the three days that Wu Yijun stayed in Partridge Town were also extremely precious, because Wu Yijun stayed here for three days, it was equivalent to giving other forces three days of buffer time.

In the past three days, it is enough time for some news to reach the hands of some well-intentioned people.

―――――――――― dividing line――――――――――――

"Wu Yijun crossed the river?"

In the middle of the camp of Ali Zhiwei, looking at the middle-aged man standing in front of him, Aminho stood up.

"That's right." The middle-aged man said with a respectful face.

He is of medium stature, mediocre in appearance, belongs to the type that cannot be found when thrown into the pile, this kind of face, personality trait, is the most difficult to be remembered, noticed, so it is also the most suitable for espionage.

What's more, he is a Han Chinese.

Acting on the ground of the Han people, it is naturally more convenient for the Han people to use, and it will not attract attention, if it has a typical Jurchen or Mongolian face, no matter how ordinary it is, it is easy to be noticed.

This middle-aged Han man, formerly known as Liu Decai, is also a very festive and common name. It's just that he is not called Liu Decai now, and he has changed his name to Yehenala Bingzhong.

As his name suggests, he naturally wants to be loyal to his master, and it is difficult for him to be able to play this role in his name.

He was originally a scoundrel gangster in Jiahewei, with a group of green skins, who roamed the countryside all day long, eating and drinking, which was very shameful. Amin captured Jiahewei, at the beginning of the life was unfamiliar, and needed to cultivate a few local agents, at this time Liu Decai took refuge in him. He is the head of the land, he is familiar with the local customs and customs, and he is also very familiar with the head, and he really did his best to saddle the horse for Amin, and he did a lot of bad things.

Amin and others ruled the Han people with less, and ruled the Han people with different races, so they had to have some means. It is absolutely not enough to rely on killing and brutal repression alone, and it is also possible to divide and conquer. Plainly. It is to pull a group of people and suppress a group of people. A group of Han people have been raised and made them prominent, and under the envy of other Han people, there are channels for promotion, so naturally the idea of rebellion has been broken.

In Lian Zining's time and space, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he did the most beautiful job, and he really won the hearts of many people by opening a branch among the Han people and other means.

Liu Decai is a typical example of Amin's support, not only rewarding him with a large amount of gold, silver, pearls and jade. Silk and satin, a beautiful mansion, and even sealed his official position. Since he was Amin's domestic slave, he was also granted the surname Yehnara. This Liu Decai is also a, changed his name to Bingzhong, and devoted himself to the Jurchen master.

I forgot my ancestors.

Amin let him master the intelligence system in the army, to put it bluntly, he is the head of the big spy, responsible for external reconnaissance and detectives.

The Jurchens have always done a good job in this regard. At the beginning, when the Haixi Jurchens were huge, they had already established a huge underground intelligence network south of the Songhua River, and many Han people were transporting intelligence for them, which directly made them unable to catch up with the Kou Ming army every time they entered the army. They robbed the cattle and sheep of the people, the gold and silver wealth, and went away calmly.

Later, the Haixi Jurchens collapsed. Naturally, this net also collapsed, and now Amin has only rebuilt it.

Liu Decai may have a talent for this. In a short period of time, there are already dozens of cadres under his hands, and thousands of informants everywhere. The probing is quite efficient.

Of course, they couldn't enter Wu Yijun's territory at all, but as soon as Wu Yijun crossed the river, they immediately discovered it and reported it.

Liu Decai said: "They crossed the river three days ago, that is, on April 19, and were stationed in Partridge Town. ”

"How many troops?" Amin asked.

"This, the minion doesn't know." Liu Decai hesitated for a moment and said truthfully.

Wu Yijun's army crossed the river, and the reconnaissance and scouting horses were also scattered far away, in order to prevent others from probing the news, his spies were all watching from afar, and some were even hearsay news, how could the number of Wu Yijun be determined? He didn't dare to lie about such a big thing, and he couldn't afford it if something went wrong.

Amin frowned, about to have a seizure, he took a deep breath, and finally held back.

I couldn't help but be shocked, what's wrong with me lately, why are I so irritable and irritable? This is not what a general should do.

Liu Decai saw the master's dissatisfaction, panicked, and hurriedly said with a flattering smile: "However, the spies reported that most of their troops are cavalry, and there are at least 50,000 of them, and the local fishermen have seen a lot of war horses, and a boatload of boats, I don't know how many." ”

"A large number of cavalry? And at least fifty thousand? Amin's brow furrowed slightly.

That's not good news for him.

According to his experience in fighting Wu Yijun in the past few times, in his cognition, the main combat force of Wu Yijun is a large number, well-trained, well-equipped, and good at forming formations to defend against strong enemies. Although the cavalry of the Wu Yi Army was elite, the number was quite small. Therefore, in Amin's imagination, if he is engaged with Wu Yijun, the superior cavalry in his hand is the biggest trump card.

But now, the Wu Yi Army actually has at least 50,000 cavalry?

Amin felt a little chill in his heart, not to mention anything else, these 50,000 cavalry alone can already offset most of the troops in his hands.

Fortunately, wars have never been won by looking at the comparison of forces between the two sides, and there have been many examples of the weak defeating the strong.

He thought for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "You go on." ”

I still know too little about Wu Yijun now, so I have to take a look.

Anyway, Wu Yijun won't be able to fight here for a while, and he still has time.

He said in a deep voice: "Tell me everything you know, everything the spies have discovered, and don't forget any of it!" ”

"Yes, master." Liu Decai responded with a mouthful, but he secretly complained in his heart, the spies found a lot of news, and a lot of it was hearsay, so he said it all?

However, under Amin's strict order, he didn't dare to hide it, this guy's memory is still good, but he told all the information he had there, and the authenticity of this information may not be very high, and some of it is still contradictory. But this is not Liu Decai's responsibility, he is only responsible for collecting information, as for analyzing information, this is your business, Lord Amin.

He said one by one. Amin leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed. Fingers tapped lightly on the armrest.

If you don't know, you still think that he is closing his eyes and recuperating, but Liu Decai knows him very well. Knowing that this is actually the time when you are most attentive, he listens carefully to everything you say and knows it very clearly.

After talking for half an hour, Liu Decai's mouth was also dry, and Amin suddenly opened his eyes, and said in a hurried voice: "What did you just say?" ”

"Huh?" Liu Decai was stunned.

"That's what you just said, the penultimate sentence." Amin said eagerly.

Liu Decai was stunned, and Fang Zi said: "The slave just said that there are spies watching from afar. The regimental yellow dragon banner was found in the ranks. ”

"Huh? Regiment Yellow Dragon Banner? Liu Decai didn't pay attention before, but he turned around at this time, and couldn't help screaming, and his mouth grew in surprise.

"That's right, that's it, Tuan Huanglongqi!" Amin high-fived and said excitedly.

He vaguely felt that he seemed to have captured an extremely important node in this battle of life and death! If you grasp it well, maybe the threat of the Wu Yi Army. It will disappear in one fell swoop!

Amin pondered for a moment and commanded in a low voice: "The order is to investigate again, the focus is on Partridge Town, you must check it out for me." What the hell is going on with that dragon flag! All spy informants, as long as they can provide accurate information, will be found out afterwards. Fifty taels of gold! One hundred taels of silver! ”

"Shhh Liu Decai gasped, the Jurchen is not as generous as Wu Yijun now. Fifty taels of gold, and a hundred taels of silver. It's already a huge amount, and it seems that Lord Amin really takes this matter very seriously.

"Slaves obey!" Liu Decai answered, and immediately resigned to pass the order, no matter who got this bounty, it would be in his hands.

That's enough.

After Liu Decai left, Amin pondered for a long time, and finally unfolded the decree, dipped it in ink, carefully considered the words, and wrote a letter.

He dried the ink, sealed it in an envelope, and said loudly, "Someone! ”

"Your Excellency!" The guards outside the door entered.

Amin handed him the letter: "You take this letter and go to the Fuyuwei camp in person, and you must deliver the letter to Ha Bu, understand?" ”

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

The sky is wide and the plains are wide, the four fields are lonely, and the vastness is immense.

From a distance, it seems to be a plain, but in fact, the ground is not high hills, one after another, undulating and undulating. The slope of these hills is not high, and up and down has an impact on people's physical strength.

A huge army marched through the hills, stretching for more than ten miles, like a long dragon, mighty. As for the surrounding fifty miles, there are scouts everywhere.

The army is full of cavalry, and everyone is like a dragon, and you can know at a glance that it is an elite division. The banners of the Wu Yi Army fluttered in the wind, making the sound of hunting.

This is the northern front army of the three teams of the Wuyi Army, two cavalry corps and a pro-soldier battalion, and 34,000 elite cavalry.

In the middle of the army, a big flag is flying in the wind, the flagpole is waist thick, the flag is ten zhang high, the flag at the top is also huge, the Wu Yi army is still in the water, and the four black characters on the red flag are shining - Wu Yi Army Company. The flag was so big that people couldn't afford it, so they had to be inserted in a big car, and around the flagpole stood eight tall and fierce guards, who were the elite of the flag, the flag was in the people, and the flag was lost.

Under the banner, Lian Zining rode his horse slowly.

Only Ye Nai was left by his side, and King Liang, who had always been inseparable as if he was a close friend, was nowhere to be seen.

Shi Dazhu came from the front of the army, came to Lian Zining, and reported: "My lord, the spies have reported that there are still thirty-seven miles away from Luoshan City, and the county magistrate of Luoshan City, the county Cheng, the garrison of thousands of households, the Luoshan Gold Mine and Mine Supervision Bureau, and a cadre of squires are already waiting at the gate of the city to greet them. ”

"Hmm." Lian Zining nodded, and instructed: "Let someone go to the city to find out, which family has a lot of surplus wealth and family assets, and make a list of those with assets of more than five hundred taels." No matter how precise it is, it will be roughly done. ”

"Yes!" Shi Dazhu was confused when he heard it, but he still obeyed the order.

He only felt that the adults were becoming more and more inscrutable now, let alone making people guess, and they couldn't even understand his orders. Especially after crossing the river, a series of actions of adults are even more incomprehensible.

Lian Zining looked at the northwest direction from afar, a little distracted.

Luoshan, that is, the north of Luo× in later generations.

The terrain here is complex, the northwest is high and mountainous, the southeast is low and swampy, known as "five mountains, one water and four fields". Not far from the north is the Heilongjiang River, the terrain is dangerous, the products are also abundant, in the northeast is famous for the abundance of precious medicinal materials, of course, the most important and the most famous, is the gold mine here.
