"Marshal, if we take this rebel army, we will have more than 100,000 troops, why do we have to go back to Denglai to see Li Jiucheng, won't he get a cheap advantage at that time?" Mao Yongfang, the original cavalry commander of Dongjiang Town, was very puzzled, not only was their relationship with Li Jiucheng not very good back then, but Li Jiucheng was not directly involved in the conflict between Mao Chenglu, Chen and the general soldiers and deputy general soldiers sent by the imperial court, which made them feel a little resentful.

"That's what I mean, the King of Qin in the west, this is to call us with swords and guns, thinking that with just a few gold and silver, we can lead our troops eastward and fight to the death with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, such a trick, An Neng can bully me." After Kong Youde glanced at him, he laughed and said.

"What do you mean, sir? Let's take a false shot, get the hidden grain and grass of the Qin army in Shandong, and then return to the division to the south? Mao Yongfang is not very good at this kind of grand strategy, but he knows that once he enters Denglai in the east, even if he defeats the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, this initiative may not be in the hands of Kong Youde.

"No~ Not only do we not continue to go south, but also approach Denglai, right now the imperial court is gathering the strength of the country, sending the general army of the twelve towns to attack Denglai, this kind of battle, my Dongjiang Town military horses, is absolutely impossible to survive, so do you think that if we continue to go south, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will not continue to follow to fight? When the time comes, there will be no generalissimo dragging in the territory of Denglai, can we have such a peaceful birthday? ”

After talking and waking up with the envoy of the Qin army, Kong Youde probably understood what the situation was like, the main force of the Qin army in Shanxi dragged the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty in Sichuan, Henan, Xuanhua and other places, so that they could not get out, anyway, it was impossible for the main force to go south to quell the chaos, and it was also difficult for the regimental training and military household soldiers in Jiangnan to go north to reinforce.

Now the imperial court has called the Guanning army to go south, it is already a final effort, if something happens to this army and horses, then the Ming Dynasty will hardly have any means to balance the righteous army, Kong Youde saw all this clearly, and his heart was also very excited, after all, he could crisscross Shandong, and at that time he would have forty or fifty thousand Liaodong soldiers and horses, and he might not be able to win the world.

Don't look at the Qin King Li Jing dancing happily now, but the territory he occupies is a barren land, and what is the so-called hiding wealth from the people, he began to recuperate, and if he wants to change his position, he has already sent troops directly to attack the Beijing Division and began to chase the Central Plains.

"Okay, there is no need to say more, we will go east to Denglai to fight with the Ming army, only to weaken the Ming army first, so that they can not win Denglai quickly, it is best to stay trapped in the Denglai territory and Li Jiu to fight, as long as the situation does not collapse, we will have enough time to occupy the territory south of the Shandong Buzheng Division, then the people of Guangfa will recruit more soldiers, and then march to Huguang, Henan, and go south to Zhili, then call the world to me, even if Li Jing, can not compete with me." Kong Youde said in high spirits.

He has reason to believe that as long as he sits on Shandong, Henan, Huguang and Nanzhili, he will be able to recruit millions of people, Li Jing is only 300,000 soldiers and horses, may not be his own opponent, when he thinks that he can tear the earth and seal the king, or even call the emperor to open the country, his heart can't help but be excited, after all, which man doesn't want to dominate the world.

As for Li Jiucheng, let him confront the Ming army in Denglai, and when he grows stronger, he will go out of Denglai and ask him to bow down to him.

"Pass the order, the foot soldiers go first, the cavalry is behind, all the way to Cao County, this gang of so-called rebels, although the number is numerous, but it is cunning and abnormal, we must be careful to guard against them, if there is a chance, strive to annex it in one fell swoop, and completely control it for my use."

……

"My lord, whether to fight or go, you should make a decision immediately, Guide the Defu three times a day, the main force of the thieves is going to the east, and the Yamen of the Shandong Political Secretary has issued several official documents, asking the adults to cross the border to attack the hundreds of thousands of Liukou entrenched in Yanzhou Mansion, otherwise once they wreak havoc in the interior of Shandong, the imperial court will have no troops to send, once the Liukou gain a firm foothold, the situation will be overturned, and there is no possibility of saving!"

In Huaiqing Mansion, there has never been a day as tense as today, the army on the front line has begun to retreat, after all, the imperial court is not a fool, in Xuanhua was beaten by the Qin army, coupled with the report of the North Zhili and Henan front, they knew that the Qin army was not so easy to provoke, at least not the imperial court that was now pacifying the Liukou could win, so the military department was ordered to send an official document to Henan, asking for a quick break from contact with the Qin army.

"But it will not be so easy to sit back and watch the Qin army occupy Henan Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion, and then want to recover it in the future." Lu Xiangsheng looked at Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shanxi, who was eagerly speaking to him, and was also a little annoyed, but the country was in turmoil, and the army and the people were unable to pacify the two battlefields at the same time, so he had no better way.

"My lord, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, although the Qin army set off from Shanxi and other places, but after all, it is a new place to be attached, the place is full of holes, I have heard of that Li Jing, selling fame and reputation, I like to buy the hearts of the people the most, now the big burden of Shanxi is pressing, he can't afford to feed so many troops at all, we just need to leave military horses in Henan to garrison the city, they fight down one city and one pool, I'm afraid the casualties can make Li Jing internal chaos!" Sun Chuanting always had a deep worry.

Why do the officials in the court always fail to see the status quo clearly, Li Jingzhi's threat is temporary, he at least obeys the Ming court on the surface, and has been seeking the northwest as the king, not to mention settling down the place, at least he has not marched to threaten the rule of the imperial court, but the chaos in Henan and Shandong, day by day, has reached the point of being out of control.

If the imperial court can't extinguish these two rebellions in a short time, it will sooner or later be dragged down by the huge military demand, and then there will not even be a need for the liukou to fight, the imperial court itself will not be able to support it, and now the liukou will go east, once the rebels in Dongjiang Town are converging, and the main force of the Ming army on the front line of Denglai is attacked on both sides, then everything will be over.

"But Li Jing's rebellion shook the country's foundation, once you go to Xuanhua, you can go straight to the city of Beijing, if you don't extinguish it as soon as possible, let it sit big, it will inevitably lead to the loss of face of the court, and then the princes of the court, in the saint, will not be able to explain it." Being an official is not just about doing things, Li Jing's scourge is actually still under control, but when he is king, he is a big trouble.

Even if he doesn't move for a while, who can guarantee that he won't move? If the main force of Henan's Ming army is also transferred to Shandong, then once he moves, pour the whole division to the north, and attack Xuanhua, then the ministers who propose to march into Shandong will sit on wax, after all, this kind of obviously uncertain thing, the ministers are not willing to go to the top cylinder, if they want to die, they will die together, and they will just go with the flow.

"Your Excellency! Liukou to the east, hundreds of thousands of people, once the army and people in Shandong are in chaos, the Cao Yun will inevitably be cut off, and Li Jing is enraged, and the whole division is bound to come, and the army of three or four hundred thousand is often lost. "Sun Chuanting really can't understand why all the princes of the court are so mediocre and scheming, and they are so good at provoking Li Jing.

"Confused, the Ming Dynasty is eternal, how did you say such desperate words, if you let the imperial history hear about it, you will definitely participate in it." As a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, but also a capable minister, Lu Xiangsheng heard this, immediately got up in a panic, peeked left and right first, saw that no one had heard, and immediately criticized harshly, but it was Sun Chuanting who said this, who also served the court and has always been the first to come from, so he is not too easy to accuse.

"My lord, I am willing to lead 7,000 men and horses in my headquarters to guard along the counties of Kaifeng Prefecture to prevent the Qin army from continuing to advance eastward, one is to defend the rear wing of the army, just wait for the adults to go to Shandong to quell the Liukou and the rebellion and return to the rescue, and the other is to defend the grain and grass passage transported north through the south of the Henan. Sun Chuanting's words and sentences are all sincere, but the current situation is corrupt, and the emperor and courtiers in Beijing can't understand it at all, how can he be a district governor who can shake the change.

"It's not proper, it is precisely because Henan is the main road for Huguang grain and grass to go north, that this official must lead the army to stick to this place," Lu Xiangsheng also saw it very clearly, that is, according to the situation reported by the scouts in various places, the Qin army avoided the real and did not fight a decisive battle with the official army, but occupied the prefecture and county, established the regime, and the threat was also very great, if he led the army to the east, leaving only 7,000 men and horses in Sun Chuanting's headquarters, the situation would be completely critical.

"Then please send troops to rescue the land of Shandong as soon as possible, otherwise the Liukou and the rebels will converge, numbering hundreds of thousands, and I will never have peace in the Shandong region of Daming." Sun Chuanting was very worried, but he was powerless, and could only make the last struggle, in fact, the generals and ministers on the front line in Henan had begun to lose confidence one after another, and in the face of the huge Qin army, it may only be possible to compete with the troops of the whole country.

"The land of Henan, I have to protect, the situation in Shandong cannot be unstable, in this case, Ben Fu is the minister of suppression, and orders you to be the commander, take the headquarters of the Qingshui Battalion and other Jin troops of 7,000, and set off to return to Germany in the starry night to pursue the Liukou, and issue a document along the way to call for local supplies, can it be appropriate?" Henan must be protected, and Shandong cannot be lost, this is the will given to him by the imperial court, but after the division of troops, what strength does he have to resist the Qin army that is advancing eastward on three routes?

"Lord Xie's loyal and righteous actions of the lower officials, the lower officials will definitely fulfill their duties, so as to intercept the rogues and prevent them from entering the realm of Denglai." Even if Sun Chuanting's main force is still in Huaiqing Mansion, hundreds of miles away from Yanzhou Mansion in Shandong, he is confident that he will quickly lead the army to attack the Liukou and win the battle, but when he said this, he didn't even know that Kong Youde had already joined the Liukou army in Cao County.
