Chapter 197: Different Thoughts
~~~~~~~
Yue Tuo suddenly smiled, "The more anxious we are, the more I am afraid that the more we will fall for the tricks of Li Yuanqing, a dog thief." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Ming Jun, hum, it's just a bed bug hiding in the shell of a turtle, if they dare to fight my Dajin elite head-on, why do they need to do this? ā
Suo Tong hurriedly patted the horse and said: "Master, don't you already have a good way to deal with the three dog thieves Li Yuanqing?" ā
Yue Tuo sneered, "Carving insect skills, dare to show off in front of me?" Shuchi, I'll give you an important order......"
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
The Ming army sentry has been scolding in front of the Houjin army for a morning, but the Houjin army's side, there is no intention of going to war, that is, the sentry detective, Yue Tuo did not send one.
On the side of Lushun City, Li Yuanqing also fell into deep thought.
Although the plan is good, it is inevitable that there will be some deviations in the actual implementation because it is not the main department.
In addition, in this era, information is not smooth, and many things can only be based on the commander's prediction and intuition.
But frankly speaking, neither Zhang Pan nor Chen Zhong have this ability.
Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi can barely hold on, but at this time, they are not qualified enough.
And Yue Tuo's forbearance faintly also gave Li Yuanqing a not very good premonition.
This elite of the Aixin Jueluo family is not so easy to deal with.
That night, Li Yuanqing and Zhang Pan each ordered 500 elite soldiers, and as before, they went to the north.
At about the same hour, the fleet successfully reached the coast of Nanguan, but soon a sentinel came to meet and bring important news.
Later this afternoon, the reinforcements with the red flag in Jinzhou rushed over 2 Niulu, and in the direction of Lushun, they also rushed over 1 Niulu, and the number of Tartars in Nanguan Fort exceeded 1,000 people.
In such a situation, if you attack again, it is obviously unwise.
Li Yuanqing immediately gave up his plan for tonight and prepared to return to Lushun.
Zhang Pan finally came out, but he didn't get any benefits, so he hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, otherwise, let's go to Kichangyi and Qingniwa to have a look, there, Yue Tuo will not also arrange reinforcements, right?" ā
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Zhang, I don't know if there are any reinforcements in Kiba Station and Qingniwa." However, I'm afraid, none of these Tartars with red flags will be able to sleep well tonight. ā
Zhang Pan also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, "Yue Tuo, this puppy, has a nose that is really better than that of a dog." ā
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Zhang, this matter is not in a hurry. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. What we have is time. ā
Early the next morning, the flotilla returned to Lushun without incident.
And just after Li Yuanqing entered the city, in the camp of the Houjin Army, Yue Tuo also received a report from the minion, "Master, it is really as you expected." On the coast of Nanguan, the fleet of Ming dogs was found. This morning, on the other side of the dock, I saw their fleet returning. ā
Yue Tuo obviously hadn't slept all night, although his spirit was excellent, but the dark circles under his eyes were obvious, and he sneered slightly: "Li Yuanqing, a dog thief, is just that." From now on, keep a firm eye on the docks. Even if a mosquito flies out, I'll know right away. ā
"Yes."
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
After breakfast, the Ming army continued to scold the formation, and the red flag side, but there was still no response.
In the evening, Zhang Pan hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, let's go to Qingniwa tonight to try?" ā
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Zhang, tonight, let's not go anywhere, call Brother Chen, let's have a drink." ā
Zhang Pan couldn't help but be speechless, "Yuanqing, you, you have to give your brother a chance to make meritorious contributions." ā
Zhang Pan said this, Li Yuanqing couldn't hide it anymore, and explained carefully: "Brother Zhang, Yue Tuo is very vigilant. If my guess is correct, all the fortresses in southern Liaoning must have been sent reinforcements by him. Our previous plan is no longer working, and we have to make changes. Tonight, though, the fleet is definitely going out. If you don't believe me, you can go with the fleet to the green mud puddle. But if there are reinforcements, don't rush them. Yue Tuo is keeping a close eye on the dock now, as long as our fleet goes out, they will definitely not sleep, and the support may not be needed for an hour. ā
Zhang Pan understood what Li Yuanqing meant, but he was still a little reluctant, "Yuanqing, I'll follow the fleet out tonight to have a look." ā
Li Yuanqing had long expected this result, and said solemnly: "Be careful. ā
In the evening, the fleet set sail again, but except for Zhang Pan with 500 elites, the huge fleet was left with only sailors.
Early the next morning, the fleet returned smoothly, Zhang Pan's eyes were red, and he was indescribably depressed, "Yuanqing, damn it, I knew that Lao Tzu drank with you last night." ā
Chen Zhong couldn't help laughing, "Lao Zhang, what did you say?" I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Don't worry, these dingkou belongings are indispensable to you. ā
Zhang Pan said speechlessly: "I know." But I'm just not reconciled......"
For several days, the scolding continued, and the flotilla went to sea to continue, but no large-scale clashes broke out on either side, and occasionally there were some small fights, and the damage was at most one or two.
The Houjin army has been completely held by the nose by the Ming army.
On the morning of 20 August, Lushun received the latest battle report from Phi Dao.
Mao Wenlong has successfully led the main force to withdraw to Phi Dao, and there has been no conflict with the main force of the old slave, and the two sides have met from a distance, and the main force of the old slave has been diverted.
At the same time, Mao Wenlong pointed out that Li Yuanqing, Zhang Pan, and Chen Zhong of the three departments of southern Liaoning should try their best to exercise restraint, focus on defending Lushun, and not take the enemy lightly. As long as Lushun is kept, it will be a great achievement.
Mao Wenlong also hinted that the little emperor of the Apocalypse was very concerned about the Lushun war, and had given three decrees to Mao Wenlong's side one after another.
In the end, Mao Wenlong said that Li Yuanqing's three ministries this year's salary, including the previous reward for entering Beijing, have all arrived at Phi Island, as long as the Lushun war is over, they can go to Phi Island to withdraw, Mao Wenlong will also try his best to make up for the three departments to make up for the shortage of manpower damaged in Lushun.
After receiving Mao Wenlong's instructions, the three of them were very happy, especially the food and rewards, which made all the soldiers very happy.
This also means that their official bodies are all settled.
At noon, they drank a lively meal to celebrate, and after eating, Zhang Pan pulled Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong to discuss the future war.
"Yuan Qing, Lao Chen, our current general trend is very good, but Yue Tuo is spending it here, and it is not a way. Otherwise, let's raid Fuzhou and force Yue Tuo to come back? Zhang Pan was a little anxious.
Obviously, he really wanted to redeem the points he had lost in front of the Little Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Chen Zhong said: "It's not a good opportunity to go to Fuzhou now." The main forces of the old slaves have been dispersed, and now, I am afraid that the main forces of all flags have returned to the station. If we are trapped in Fuzhou again, the consequences will be unimaginable, and we must not be rash. ā
"Then we can't just watch Yue Tuo guard here, right? Although we won the battle, Lushun suffered a lot of damage. If you can't cultivate in time, the people's lives will be difficult. Zhang Pan sighed.
Li Yuanqing understands Zhang Pan's current mood very well, who is anyone, he is blocked at the door of the house by someone else, and he can't stand it in his heart.
However, in the current state, the more urgent you are, the slower the matter will be resolved.
Yue Tuo is not a fool, he is much more difficult than Amin and Mang Gultai, and in a way, he is more wary than the old slave.
According to common sense, autumn is about to begin, and after almost a year of hustle and bustle, it is time to enter a truce.
After all, the soldiers of Houjin are also people, and the fields at home also need to be cultivated and harvested.
But the old slave can't swallow this breath, and Yue Tuo is afraid that he will still spend it here.
This is actually the practice of 'killing a thousand enemies and inflicting eight hundred losses on oneself'.
With Yue Tuo's shrewdness, he wouldn't fail to see this.
The best and safest way is to continue to hold on, you can pay lip service, but you can't act rashly.
It's just that Yue Tuo has been tossed for so long, I'm afraid that he is also holding his breath in his heart, and he may not be able to think calmly.
This time, a fierce battle is probably inevitable.
Frankly speaking, to this extent, Li Yuanqing was tired, and the sons and daughters of the Changsheng Battalion under his command were also tired, although they did not receive much goods, and they did not defeat Fuzhou, but the harvest of Jinzhou City was not less, enough for the loss of Dingkou of the three departments, Li Yuanqing was not willing, and then had a fierce battle with the Houjin army.
In this Lushun Guarding Battle, the casualties of the three Ming troops were very small, and the casualties of the Changsheng Battalion headquarters were even less than 30. The three combined, the casualties were only about 200.
Li Yuanqing also wants to fulfill his promise to his sons and daughters, so that all of them can marry beautiful wives, not to mention too much, at least before the year, so that they can live a happy and comfortable life.
But in front of you......
Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan quarreled a few words, but they had no clue at all, and couldn't help but look at Li Yuanqing.
Zhang Pan said: "Yuanqing, Yue Tuo has almost slipped away from us. The morale of the Houjin army is now low. The Yuetuo battalion has only 5 Niulu troops, plus auxiliaries, and it does not exceed 3,000 people. We can go head-to-head with them. ā
Chen Zhong shook his head, although he didn't speak, Li Yuanqing understood that Chen Zhong didn't want to have a hard time with Yue Tuo.
But if Li Yuanqing expresses his position directly, I am afraid that Zhang Pan will be difficult to accept, after all, Lushun is his land and his home.
He would think that Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong had gained benefits, but they didn't want to send troops, and he could even directly report to the imperial court that Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were 'cowardly'.
That's what life looks like.
It is easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share wealth and prosperity. Even if it's a couple.
Including the friendship that Li Yuanqing and Zhang Pan have accumulated during this time, it will also disappear.
"Brother Zhang, if you want to fight, it's not impossible. But the Houjin army is full of cavalry, so we must not be rash, and we must be allowed to advance. to drive them out. ā
Hearing Li Yuanqing's final statement, Zhang Pan couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Yuanqing, in fact, my brother doesn't want to be rash. It's just that I feel like it's an opportunity. I don't care how many heads there are, I don't care how many merits I have, as long as I can drive Yue Tuo away, this is considered complete. ā
Seeing Zhang Pan say this, Chen Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief, "If that's the case, then things will be easier." ā
The three of them reached an agreement, and the order was carried out, which was much simpler.
The next morning, the Ming army began to go out of the city to line up, Zhang Pan led a thousand headquarters as the core, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong each led a thousand headquarters as a strategy, and began to besiege the Houjin army battle formation.
The reason why Zhang Pan dared to be so bold was also because the Houjin army was now very tired, and with Li Yuanqing sitting behind him, the sons and daughters under his command were in high morale.
Unlike Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, Lushun was the ruling place of Zhang Pan, and his subordinates had long regarded this place as their home, fighting the Houjin army at their doorstep, and they were full of desire and glory.
Although the three parts are one, when it comes to this joint, the positions are different, doomed, and the way of thinking is completely different.
Zhang Pan also knew this, so he was even more eager to prove himself in front of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, and prove the strength and courage of his sons.
Soon, the Ming army's battle array advanced to a mile before the Houjin army's battle array.
This time, Yue Tuo did not avoid the battle, and soon, the black-pressed red flag cavalry poured out of the camp.
