Chen Zhong went back to rest, and Li Yuanqing came outside the tent and stretched his hands and feet tiredly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the starry sky, the moonlight was very clear, evenly spread on the ground like water, it was already more than 11 o'clock, most of the soldiers were resting, and occasionally there were a few teams of soldiers on duty at night, walking neatly and walking in the field of vision.

This year's weather is slightly stronger than last year's, and although it is still cold, there are a lot fewer snow and fog days, which seems to indicate that this year is a good sign.

The fact is that after nearly two years of foreshadowing, all the conditions have basically matured, and the Dongjiang River is ushering in the most golden period of development.

Let's not talk about Mao Wenlong's headquarters on the eastern front, at least, in southern Liaoning on the western front, Li Yuanqing has full confidence.

According to the news from the western Liaoning side, at the beginning of this year, the city construction plan of the Guanning side has been launched.

Yuan Chonghuan, the commander of the Liaodong army, and the guerrilla Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang of the Liaodong Chinese army have already gone to Ningyuan to build a city.

At the same time, the patrol of the imperial history Fang Zhenru and the military commander Sun Yuanhua were also sent to the front to coordinate, and Sun Chengzong personally rushed to Qiantun to supervise the battle on the front line.

This is a lot earlier than in history, at least half a year.

The military salaries of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty gradually began to tilt towards the western part of Liaoning.

Li Yuanqing clearly understood whether he could get a piece of the huge Liaoyu pie, and the battle of Fuzhou at the beginning of the year was very important.

Frankly speaking, according to the current situation, it is not a wise move for the Dongjiang side to rush forward and conquer the city, which will enable the Dongjiang Army, which has not yet been fully formed, to face the threat of the main force of the Houjin.

At the very least, after a few more years of guerrilla fighting, honing and integrating the team, and waiting until all aspects are mature and stable, this is the time to fight head-on with the main force of Houjin.

But at this time, the war had to be subordinated to political imperatives.

If the Dongjiang River wants to develop, and Li Yuanqing wants to become strong, it is inseparable from the support of the imperial court.

And if you want to gain the support of the imperial court and the recognition of the people of the world, the most direct way is to restore the land.

If the Dongjiang River gains a foothold on the Liaohai West Line, it will, to a large extent, reduce the burden on the Liaoxi Corridor, in other words, weaken the strategic position of the Liaoxi Corridor.

Although this thing can't be spoken, in fact, Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong both know it.

As for the Fuzhou War......

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile lightly.

At this time, the main forces of Houjin were all shrunk on the front line of Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Laozhai, and there were only a few miscellaneous soldiers, how could they stop him and Chen Zhong's nearly 10,000 soldiers?

However, the grapes are already half ripe, and if you want to eat the sweetest, you need to be patient for a while.

…………

It was fast forward to the beginning of March.

Qu Mingrui did not waste this opportunity given to him by Li Yuanqing, and the grain of 300,000 taels of silver arrived as scheduled and had been transported to Changsheng Island.

Even, Li Yuanqing also received an unexpected surprise gift.

The famous Jiexiu Fan family, in his personal name, gave Li Yuanqing 50,000 taels of silver, as well as all kinds of bacon and dry goods worth no less than 10,000 taels.

For this, Li Yuanqing accepted all the orders.

For the Fan family, Li Yuanqing is no stranger.

After all, he is the head of the famous imperial merchants.

And the person who delivered the goods was a white-haired old man. Although he didn't recognize Li Yuanqing, Li Yuanqing knew him clearly.

This person was the leader of the caravan when Li Yuanqing went to Shenyang with the help of the Qujia caravan.

Someone gave silver, of course Li Yuanqing would not be unreasonable, and warmly entertained the old man and his party, good wine, good meat and good food were enough, not only Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, but also the prison soldiers Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang also came to accompany him personally, which made the old man and the Fan family face bright.

Li Yuanqing also knew that this old man's name was Fan Er, he was a partial branch of the Fan family's house, and he had already come out of the five suits, and he was the henchman of Fan Yongdou, the current leader of the Fan family, and had been in charge of the affairs of Liaodi.

It's just that there are joys and sorrows.

Just like in history, Liu Xingzuo's plan was aborted before it really began to be implemented.

Although his position as the commander of Fuzhou was approved by the old slave, he himself had not yet had time to take office in Fuzhou, and his younger brother Liu Xingren was killed on the way to Fuzhou directly because of the revelation of intelligence.

At the same time, the son of Fushun horse Li Yongfang was also implicated, the old slave was furious, and the Han people under his rule were suddenly in crisis, fortunately Liu Xingzuo was the son-in-law of the old slave, and he was deeply loved by the old slave, and he barely saved his life for the time being.

Li Yuanqing got the news here, and it was already the seventh day of the first month of March.

In the big tent, nearly 100 generals under Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong gathered together.

The main seat in the middle has been given to Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang, and Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong are sitting at the bottom of the two of them.

On the side of the big tent, there is a huge map of Liaodi.

Li Yuanqing was in good spirits and stood up with a smile, "Sons, after my discussion with the two prison lords and General Chen, at this time, the time is ripe to send troops to return to Zhou. Below, I command. ”

The generals of the Immortal Battalion fell to their knees in an instant.

It's been months of planning, and they can't wait.

"The 1,000th Brigade Duan Xiliang Division and the 2,000th Brigade Guancanghai Division are the main battles, and the 3,000th Brigade Xu Heizi stayed at Nanxinkou and accompanied the army to respond with materials. The Liu Dadou Department of the Scout Team is responsible for the investigation and communication of the whole line. An hour and a half later, the army officially set off. ”

"Yes." After receiving the order, the generals left one after another to prepare.

In fact, last night, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong had already held a small meeting with the generals of their respective headquarters, and they had already gained insight into today's battle plan.

Chen Zhong also quickly issued an order to his subordinates.

The full military tent was suddenly empty.

Li Yuanqing smiled and said to Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang: "The two prison lords, Jiannu is extremely vicious and vicious, I don't know ...... the two prison lords."

Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang certainly understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and they already knew the complete battle plan.

This battle is not only as simple as conquering Fuzhou City, but the most important thing is to hold on.

It's only the seventh day of the third month, and according to Li Yuanqing, at least after the autumn harvest in Fuzhou City, this ......

But if the army goes out to war, and the overseers do not follow......

Wei Liang was also entangled in his heart a hundred times, but he also knew that as long as it was done, what greeted him would be endless glory and benefits. ”

Zhang Qiliang originally had the intention of retreating, but Wei Liangdu said this, how could he still retreat? I had to say: "The miscellaneous family will also go out with the army." ”

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but smile.

Chen Zhong said with a smile: "Even so, the two prison lords will also prepare as soon as possible." At a quarter of noon, the army marched. ”

Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang left quickly, and Chen Zhong said with a smile: "Yuanqing, the two prison lords are very interested. ”

As a military general, and the supervising army behind him, he was in a state of momentum, and when he was in Guanglu Island, Chen Zhong naturally didn't dare to show too much, but with Li Yuanqing here, Chen Zhong also had confidence in his heart.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Big brother, it's not easy for them. We have something to eat, why don't we have to leave some soup for the two prison lords? ”

Chen Zhong couldn't help laughing, "It's also such a reason." Yuanqing, I can't wait. ”

…………

After nearly two months of joint exercises, the coordination ability of the two departments has already been very smooth, and the actual order has been issued last night, and the whole army has not taken much effort at this time.

In view of the fact that this was a surprise attack, the people on the island did not know at all, that is, Li Yuanqing's wife and concubine, and they did not know at all, and there were no soldiers and civilians to see them off on the dock.

Soon, the team's side was well prepared and began to board the ship in turn.

In this battle, Li Yuanqing carried the main force of the two thousand corps and 3,000 auxiliaries, while Chen Zhong's side was the main force, and the auxiliaries were also 3,000.

Under the scorching midday sun, the weather was not too cold, and soon the various departments had already boarded the ship.

On the boat, Li Yuanqing waved his hand, and the fleet quickly sailed to the west side of the vast ocean.

The previous battle plan had already been carefully formulated, and a little more than two hours later, before evening, the fleet arrived at the landing site on time.

This is exactly where the last joint drill between the two ministries took place, and many abandoned facilities have not been completely removed.

The army fought a surprise attack, and did not carry too much baggage, almost lightly loaded, and the baggage will be transported from Nanxinkou to Fuzhou City later, and there is no need to build a dock here.

An hour and a half later, the team had landed, it was already dark, and the fleet quietly left the landing site.

Soon, in the vast night, the two main forces marched all the way to the east and went straight to Yangguan Fort.

The last time Li Yuanqing came to Yangguan Fort, it was just to grab the wheat, and he didn't make much move, but this time, it was completely different.

Because of the importance of its geographical location, Yangguan Fort is the throat connecting Nanxinkou and Fuzhou City, so it naturally cannot be let go.

The team's marching speed was very fast, even Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang, who were not very good at their feet, did not dare to say much, so they could only grit their teeth and insist.

In less than an hour, the fort wall of Yangguan Fort had already appeared in view.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong have already prepared 600 elites, and the leaders are Wang Hai, the deputy president of Li Yuanqing's side, and the thousand president Xun Meng on Chen Zhong's side.

There was almost no nonsense, Chen Zhong directly said coldly: "Half an hour, take Yangguan Fort." Otherwise, come and see you. ”

Wang Hai and Xun Meng won this opportunity, but it was not easy, how dare they slack off? Busy and respectfully kowtowed to Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, took the elite of the headquarters, and left quickly.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong accompanied Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang to watch the battle not far away.

It was dark tonight, the visibility was not too high, and the fire flickering on the head of Yangguanbao could be clearly seen.

Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang are both facing the battlefield for the first time, even if they are so far away, but this is the territory controlled by the Houjin Army after all, and both of them are inevitably very nervous.

In addition, the weather was very cold, Wei Liang trembled and said to Li Yuanqing: "General Li, this, there are only 600 people, can you take Yangguan Fort?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Wei Jianjun doesn't have to worry about it, these 600 people are all the elite of my two departments, they have experienced a hundred battles, no accident, there is no big problem." ”

Wei Liang nodded tremblingly, but he understood Li Yuanqing's words, and there was still an accident. What if something happens?

Chen Zhong smiled: "Wei Jianjun doesn't have to worry too much. It's just an appetizer, and tomorrow morning, it's time to get the main course. ”

"Huh?"

Wei Liang was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a loud "boom", and in the direction of Yangguanbao not far away, the firelight was splashing, and people were whistling, and there was a noise.

On the side, Kong Youde couldn't help but be overjoyed, clenched his fists excitedly, and shouted: "General, it's done." ”
