The Chinese army arrived in Lianshui County one day later than the scheduled time, which made Ah Shu very annoyed, and couldn't help but reprimand the marshal who led the army, in fact, Ah Shu was also worried, that is, he was afraid that the reinforcements of the Ming army would arrive in Haizhou Prefecture to help.

In fact, the Chinese army delayed the marching time, and this is not the responsibility of the marshal of the army, mainly many people from the Song royal family, golden branches and jade leaves, can not endure hardship, the speed of the march is too slow, and occasionally there will be symptoms of physical discomfort, plus these people must be escorted to the capital, and the marshal has no choice but to ask the army to slow down the pace of the march.

After a day's delay, it was a big deal in Ashu's view, after the former army and the Chinese army met in Lianshui County, Ashu didn't have time to deploy in detail, and immediately began to point generals, and it only took one day to determine the 100,000 people who marched into Haizhou Prefecture, and then quickly left Lianshui County and headed in the direction of Haizhou Prefecture.

Ah Shu did not forget to send scouts to reconnoiter along the road, but the reconnaissance he arranged did not include the official roads in Lianshui County, nor did it include Jincheng Town.

Many years later, historians recalled Ashu's arrangement, and they always felt incomprehensible, why Ashu did not send scouts to investigate the situation in Jincheng, so that at least some clues could be found, after all, 100,000 Ming troops set up an ambush in Jincheng, even if the ambush was perfect, so many military horses would reveal certain flaws.

Perhaps Ah Shu thinks that the Ming army has all withdrawn in the direction of Haizhou Prefecture, and since the Ming army has given up Lianshui County, then Jincheng Town will naturally give up.

Prince Hedan received the paperwork from Ashu.

The contents of several documents before and after are almost the same, and they are all written in Mongolian.

He Dan, who received the document, was extremely angry, although the tone on the document was very humble, but from the content, He Dan felt domineering, and felt that Ah Shu was ready to control everything.

The emperor's holy decree, this time in the battle in Shandong, Hedan is the commander, that is to say, the army under the command of Ashu to conquer the south, when the battle is also under the command of Hedan, as a battle-hardened Mongolian prince, Hedan will not be rash, he knows the great significance and role of this battle, and also intends to take a two-sided attack to recover Haizhou.

Ah Shu's deployment is correct, and He Dan has to admit it, but such a suggestion should not be put forward by Ah Shu, the deputy marshal, but by him, the head coach, Hedan, which is in line with the rules.

At a critical juncture, Hedan will not make an unwise move, after all, the battle of Xiangyang Mansion has already learned a lesson, but this account Hedan remembered, he also understood Ashu's thoughts, it seems that Ashu has greater ambitions than his father Wuliang Hetai.

Hedan sent Ashu's documents directly to the emperor, and also added a special explanation to the back, praising Ashu's wisdom and decisiveness to the emperor, which seems to be helping Ashu on the surface, but in fact, Hedan is very aware of the emperor, in the end, the emperor does not particularly trust anyone, Ashu's power is so great, the credit is so great, I don't know how the emperor and the court will be rewarded in the end, don't you know the high merit and the master.

After receiving Ashu's letter, Hedan immediately began to dispatch a large army.

Juzhou on the East Road of Shandong is still under the control of the Mongolian army, but the Mongolian sergeants stationed in Juzhou are not very many, after the failure to aid Haizhou Prefecture, Hedan will focus on Jinan Mansion and Tai'an Prefecture to prevent the Ming army from occupying more territory, and now to jointly attack Haizhou Prefecture with the army led by Ashu, then Hedan must take Juzhou as a foothold.

Hedan only left a few thousand people to garrison Jinan Prefecture, and the remaining nearly 100,000 people all headed in the direction of Juzhou.

The goal of Hedan was very clear, the army first occupied Ganyu under the jurisdiction of Haizhou, blocked the retreat of the Ming army towards Juzhou, and forced the Ming army to withdraw only in the direction of Pizhou, and after occupying Ganyu, the army would attack towards the city of Haizhou.

The two Mongolian armies, with a total strength of nearly 200,000 people, would not be a big joke if they could not take Haizhou Prefecture.

In Hedan's view, if you want to be able to completely defeat the Ming army, you can only advance step by step, first preserve your own strength, and not make major mistakes in order to truly achieve the goal of victory.

Hedan also wrote a letter to Ashu, asking Ashu to be cautious in his march and fighting, and at the same time reminding Ashu that the Ming army was very brave, unlike the Song army in the south, if it encountered a large-scale resistance, do not rush to attack, and first preserve its own strength.

Such a reminder, Prince Hedan must do, after all, he is the boss, if Ah Shu encounters failure, he also has an unshirkable responsibility as the boss, of course, if Ah Shu does not obey the command and insists on going his own way, then Hedan's responsibility is much smaller.

It has come to the end of autumn, the climate is very good, we must hurry up, it is best to end the expedition in winter, otherwise the time of the fighting will continue too long, for the more than 200,000 Mongolian troops, there are no small difficulties in raising grain and grass.

As a Hedan who has fought with the Ming army, he is still quite cautious when dealing with many matters, but unfortunately Hedan's feelings, Ah Shu does not have it, after all, Ah Shu has won too many victories, and destroyed the Great Song Dynasty, his self-confidence is bursting, and he will not think too much about it at all.

The pressure on Zhang Binghui is enormous.

Almost all of the most elite Ming troops were transferred to Haizhou, and although the combat effectiveness of the 100,000 troops under Zhang Binghui was very good, there were still some deficiencies in the combat ability to fight in the field.

Fortunately, Zhang Binghui's combat mission was to defend the two cities of Ganyu and Yizhou, not allowing the Mongolian army to capture these two cities, and at the same time giving the Mongolian army rushing to Haizhou a major blow and injury, so that they had no way to rush to the aid with peace of mind.

Zhang Binghui's biggest reliance is the Dingkun Army.

Needless to say, the power of the Dingkun cannon is needless to say, and the thunder created by the Arms Bureau is getting more and more powerful, and the power of this thing is even no less than that of the Dingkun cannon when it is in the field.

The two sharp weapons of Dingkun cannon and thunder gave Zhang Binghui the greatest confidence.

In terms of the stationing of troops, after consulting His Royal Highness the King of Ming, Zhang Binghui made appropriate adjustments, and the number of sergeants stationed in Linyi City was only 10,000, while the number of sergeants stationed in Ganyu City reached 60,000, and the remaining 30,000 people were stationed in Licheng City.

Licheng town belongs to the jurisdiction of Yizhou, located in the middle of the two cities of Linyi and Ganyu, and is also a more critical point, Zhang Binghui's consideration is that if the focus of the Mongolian army's attack is Linyi city, then the 30,000 Ming army stationed in Licheng City, quickly rush to Linyi, if the focus of the Mongolian army's attack is Ganyu City, then 30,000 troops quickly rush to help Ganyu.

Of course, from Zhang Binghui's arrangement and the entrustment of His Royal Highness King Ming, the focus of the Mongolian army's attack should be Ganyu.

In terms of geographical location, if you want to attack the city of Haizhou, the location of Ganyu is far more important than Linyi, even if the Mongolian army takes the city of Linyi County, it must continue to attack Ganyu, and after taking Ganyu, it can ensure the safety of the rear.

As for the Mongolian reinforcements led by Hedan, will bypass Ganyu and directly attack Haizhou City, such a possibility is almost non-existent, unless there is a major danger in the direction of Haizhou, after all, Hedan, who has experienced a hundred battles, knows the danger of being cut off the back road, once the Mongolian reinforcements bypass Ganzhou, they will expose their backs to the Ming army, I believe that such a choice, Hedan will never adopt it.

His Royal Highness the King of Ming analyzed another point, that is, Hedan and the Ming army had a large-scale fight, when the Ming army successfully prevented Hedan from galloping to aid Haizhou Prefecture, this matter must have a significant impact on Hedan, in Hedan's view, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is not ordinary, if the back is exposed to the Ming army, I am afraid that it will encounter greater danger.

The deployment of troops has been completed, and the scouts have been sent out to reconnoitre, but Zhang Binghui is still a little worried.

Zhang Binghui is most worried about the Mongolian army reinforcements led by Hedan, concentrating troops to attack the Ganyu city, although there are 60,000 soldiers guarding the Ganyu city, and there are still 30,000 soldiers waiting for reinforcements in Licheng Town, but as the side that holds the city, it is difficult for the Dingkun cannon and the earth-shaking thunder to play a real role, which is nothing more than to disrupt the siege of the city by the Mongolian army.

In the final analysis, Zhang Binghui's mind was still thinking of completely defeating the Mongolian reinforcements led by Hedan.

After so many years of fighting with His Royal Highness King Ming, each time it ended in victory, only after entering the Shandong battle, Zhang Binghui undertook the combat mission of blocking the Mongolian army reinforcements twice in a row, although he stopped the Mongolian army's reinforcements, the credit is also great, but in Zhang Binghui's view, such a battle seems aggrieved.

It was also when Zhang Binghui was worried and anxious that the letter from His Royal Highness King Ming arrived, and the information of the scout's investigation was also sent.

After opening the letter and reading it carefully, Zhang Binghui's face was slightly red.

Soon, all the officers above the command level came to the house.

Zhang Binghui spoke to everyone with a serious expression.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we undertake the task of blocking the reinforcements of the Mongolian army, according to the reconnaissance of the scouts, the Mongolian army led by Hedan has taken the Juzhou, a large-scale march in the direction of Ganyu, the goal of the Mongolian army has been very clear, that is, to take the city of Ganyu County, His Royal Highness also wrote a letter, warning us not to take it lightly, do not think that holding the city can easily block the attack of the Mongolian army, let alone think that blocking the Mongolian army's rush to help is an unwelcome combat mission."

"From now on, you will start deploying immediately, we can't let the Mongolian army easily encircle the city of Ganyu County, and let them pay a heavy price in the process of attacking."

Speaking of this, Zhang Binghui gave an order to the heralds beside him.

"There are only 10,000 sergeants left in Licheng Town, and the remaining 20,000 are quickly assembled in the direction of Ganyu, and the relevant deployments must be completed before the Mongolian army enters Ganyu County."
