Since the arrival of the main force of the Later Jin Dynasty in Liaodong at the end of March, the pressure on Mao Wenlong and the Dongjiang headquarters in Zhenjiang, Yizhou, and Chao~Xian has increased sharply. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In particular, after Chen Jisheng's Right Association was in the dangerous mountain fort and was almost eaten by Huang Taiji, the headquarters of the Dongjiang River was on the whole line of Liaodong and completely lost the initiative.

In April and May, Mao Wenlong was not willing to accept the good foundation he had accumulated in the past few years, so he gave it to the Tartars in vain, and launched several waves of offensives on the outskirts of Zhenjiang one after another.

But the reaction of the main force of Houjin was quite violent, not giving an inch, pressing step by step.

After losing thousands of people in the two battles, at the beginning of June, Mao Wenlong had no choice but to retreat to the sea, retreat to Phi Island, connect Zhangzi Island, Ludao, and Shicheng Island, and defend against the sea.

In this way, from the end of the first year of the Apocalypse, Mao Wenlong has lost most of the good foundation established in Zhenjiang, Yizhou, and Chao ~ Xian.

Although Houjin could not attack Phi Dao and did not hurt the bones of the Dongjiang River, the outer defense line was almost collapsing, and it had to make people sigh.

Fortunately, Mao Wenlong was shrewd and unmatched, and was not surrounded by the Houjin army, which preserved the safety of the main force of the Dongjiang River, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

On the contrary, southern Liaoning, because it was almost no man's land, or Li Yuanqing's prestige was too great, it was not affected by the large-scale offensive of Houjin, including Fuzhou and Jinzhou, which were not affected by too many wars.

Correspondingly, Lushun's Shen Shikui Department has also become the most powerful player outside the Dongjiang headquarters.

As for the western Liaoning, it was not affected by this offensive, the fortification of Ningyuan has been basically improved, and the coverage of the Guanning Group has been pushed to the line of Jinzhou and Daling River in the north, and the overall situation has remained stable.

It's just that the contraction of the Dongjiang headquarters and the activity of the Ming army in the entire Liao region have been sharply reduced. From a tactical offense, it began to shift to a full-scale strategic defense.

Li Yuanqing didn't expect that things would develop to this point.

In history, three years after the Apocalypse, four years, five years, and six years, it was when the Dongjiang soldiers were strong and strong.

But at this time, because of the appearance of Li Yuanqing, history has changed.

The spearhead of the main force of Houjin was aimed at the Dongjiang headquarters too early, coupled with Chen Jisheng's mistakes, which caused Mao Wenlong's mood to fluctuate, and he made several unwise choices, which caused heavy damage.

In fact, Li Yuanqing also understood Chen Jisheng and even Mao Wenlong's thoughts.

With the rise of Li Yuanqing, he set up his own gateway in southern Liaoning and broke away from the scope of the Dongjiang headquarters, which to a large extent, set up a benchmark for the generals of the Dongjiang family.

is like Chen Jisheng, how can he be convinced by Li Yuanqing?

In terms of qualifications and ability, how can Li Yuanqing compare with him Chen Jisheng?

Perhaps, he thinks that Li Yuanqing can get to where he is today, it's just luck, and what Li Yuanqing can do, he can also do.

Perhaps it was because of this mentality that Chen Jisheng was also greedy for merit, lost his former calmness, and finally swallowed the bitter fruit of failure.

Mao Wenlong's side may also have a large element of this, and he also wants to prove his ability......

It's a pity that they all ignored the resoluteness of the Later Jin on the war in Liaodong.

But the matter has come to this point, and Li Yuanqing can't escape it.

Whether it is the Dongjiang River, southern Liaoning, or western Liaoning, they are all part of the Ming Dynasty's defense line in Liaodi.

No matter which side is affected, it will directly affect the overall situation of the entire Liaodi, which is unacceptable to Li Yuanqing.

There may be a contradiction between the three departments, but after all, it is a contradiction between their own brothers, and behind closed doors, what can't be solved?

But externally, the three ministries are all the same position, even if they can't work together, but at least they can't pull each other's back.

After thinking about it again and again, Li Yuanqing decided not to return to Changsheng Island first, but to go to Phi Island to meet Mao Wenlong first.

The main force of the fleet was led by Guan Canghai and returned to Changsheng Island first, while Li Yuanqing took dozens of cargo ships to Phi Island.

Meeting with Mao Wenlong, Li Yuanqing naturally couldn't be empty-handed, he prepared a thousand war horses for Mao Wenlong, as well as 10,000 taels of silver.

…………

On 13 July, Li Yuanqing successfully arrived at Phi Dao.

Mao Wenlong has already received the news and personally came to the dock to greet Li Yuanqing and his party.

This is no longer the time.

Li Yuanqing is already on the same level as Mao Wenlong in terms of military rank, although in terms of title, there are still a few levels behind Mao Wenlong, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before Li Yuanqing surpasses Mao Wenlong.

You must know that Li Yuanqing is not yet twenty-five years old this year.

And Li Yuanqing returned from the Northland, did not go directly to Changsheng Island, but came directly to visit Mao Wenlong, and gave such a rich gift, Mao Wenlong was reasonable, and he wanted to give Li Yuanqing this face.

On the wharf, the main generals of the Dongjiang series were all in the ranks, all dressed in armor, and all of them were in formal attire.

Although Mao Wenlong did not wear armor, he also wore a red official robe, wearing a black veil, which was decent.

Seeing the fleet in the distance gradually approaching, Mao Chenglu hurriedly said: "Marshal, Yuanqing is here!" ”

Mao Wenlong nodded, but there was not much expression on his face.

Not long after, the fleet docked, and Li Yuanqing, who was also wearing a first-class red official robe, quickly passed the stairs under the escort of Niu Gensheng and dozens of personal soldiers, and rushed towards this side quickly.

Mao Wenlong smiled and took the lead in facing the front.

Li Yuanqing naturally saw Mao Wenlong, but before Mao Wenlong could come forward, Li Yuanqing hurriedly knelt on one knee and saluted Mao Wenlong respectfully, "Humble Li Yuanqing, I've seen the handsome!" ”

Everyone was stunned, obviously they didn't expect Li Yuanqing to make such a move.

But immediately, everyone also reacted that Li Yuanqing himself was born in Mao Wenlong's own army, and it was normal to have such an attitude.

In Liaodi, and even in the entire Ming Dynasty, who doesn't know that he, Li Yuanqing, is the person who values the old love the most?

Mao Wenlong didn't expect Li Yuanqing to give him face like this, the old face was already smiling, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, personally helped Li Yuanqing up, and laughed: "Yuanqing, hard work." Between you and me, why do you need such a big gift? Hurry up, please. ”

Li Yuanqing got up carefully, but he was still very respectful to Mao Wenlong, "Dashuai, as the saying goes, one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father." The marshal is Yuanqing's mentor and Yuanqing's loving father. With the handsome here, Yuanqing has the backbone! ”

Mao Wenlong couldn't help laughing, "Yuanqing, you kid!" Hahaha! Still so nostalgic! Let's go, the sun is too poisonous here, let's go to the official hall to talk! ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled: "Humble obedience!" ”

Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong, surrounded by a group of generals, hurriedly rushed towards Mao Wenlong's official hall, and behind them, someone was already ready to receive the gifts brought by Li Yuanqing.

A sumptuous feast had already been prepared in the official hall.

In fact, Mao Wenlong and the Dongjiang headquarters are also stained with Li Yuanqing's light.

Last year, the battle of Fuzhou went smoothly, and the Changsheng Battalion successfully recovered Fuzhou and Jinzhou, including Lushun and Phi Dao's food and salary, and the imperial court not only was very happy, but also added 100,000 taels.

This year's food and salary will also be allocated soon.

This time, even if Chen Jisheng's right association was damaged, coupled with the defeat in the periphery, it could not directly affect the foundation of Dongjiang, at least, in terms of food and materials, Dongjiang did not have to worry for the time being.

As for manpower, with Mao Wenlong's shrewdness, will there be a shortage of people in the Dongjiang headquarters?

In the official hall, the banquet was very rich, almost the best in Li Yuanqing's memory.

Li Yuanqing is undoubtedly the center of the banquet.

He sat at the head of Mao Wenlong, the main seat, and all the generals stepped forward to toast Li Yuanqing.

Mao Wenlong knew that Li Yuanqing was also going to drink with his former colleagues, so after a few drinks, he went back to rest. handed over the rest of the time to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing is also heroic, almost no one refuses, and the atmosphere of the banquet is becoming more and more enthusiastic.

At this time, Ma Gonggong also held a glass of wine and walked in front of Li Yuanqing with a smile, "General Li, you are really mighty!" Miscellaneous family admiration! Come, the miscellaneous family toasts you. ”

Ma Gonggong is the supervisor of the Dongjiang headquarters, this time, the headquarters and Chen Jisheng's right association have lost one after another, and he has to take responsibility, which is no longer a run.

Even, whether they can keep the throne of the prison army is still unknown.

Li Yuanqing didn't expect that a character like Gonggong Ma would deign to toast him.

I think that at the beginning, Ma Gonggong's eyes were long in the sky, and he didn't even bother to look at Li Yuanqing ~~.

But in an instant, Li Yuanqing also figured out the joint, and couldn't help but smile, "Gonggong Ma praised it, his humble work is all for the emperor, it's not worth mentioning!" Ma Gonggong, humble duty first to respect. ”

As he spoke, Li Yuanqing picked up the wine glass, tilted his neck, and drained the wine in the glass.

"Hehehe...... General Lee is truly heroic. ”

Ma Gonggong laughed a few words, and was about to say something to Li Yuanqing, but at this time, Chen ~ Liangce walked over quickly with a glass of wine, "Yuanqing, our brothers have not seen each other for a while, come, let's go one!" ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly apologized to Ma Gong, and went to greet Chen ~ good policy with a smile.

Ma Gonggong's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Chen ~ Liangce, and a strong hatred flashed, but it was fleeting, and he walked aside with a smile.

Chen ~ Liangce was talking to Li Yuanqing sideways, and he saw Ma Gonggong's expression clearly, and when Ma Gonggong turned around, he couldn't help but spit hard, and whispered to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, this miscellaneous old pickled goods is really deceitful!" ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly whispered; "Brother Chen, what happened?"

Chen~ Liangce whispered: "Yuanqing, let's talk about this matter in the evening." In the evening, go to my house to drink. Zhang Pan and Mao Chenglu will also go, we old brothers, we must have a good drink. ”

Li Yuanqing has already understood that the failure of the Dongjiang River this time will inevitably intensify the internal contradictions, such as Chen ~ Liangce, I am afraid that they have also moved their minds.

After a moment, Li Yuanqing nodded, "Brother Chen, it's okay." Wait for me to see the handsome first! ”

Chen ~ Liangce smiled, "Yuanqing, our brothers, don't say much, brother will do it first as a respect!" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and drank all the wine in the cup.

Chen ~ Liangce and Li Yuanqing finished drinking, and among the generals, those who were qualified to drink with Li Yuanqing basically went through it.

Li Yuanqing apologized to the generals with a smile, and left the banquet first, Mao Wenlong was afraid that he had been waiting for him for a long time.

Walking out of the official hall, a personal soldier had been waiting here for a long time, and said cautiously and respectfully: "Li Shuai, the big marshal is waiting for you in the small garden." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, casually handed the soldier a 50 taels of silver ticket, and said with a smile: "There is Brother Lao." ”

This pro-soldier couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He is a personal soldier who has recently been promoted to Mao Wenlong's side, and he has long heard of Li Yuanqing's righteous name, but he still didn't expect that Li Yuanqing's shot would be 50 taels......

This, this is simply the silver he can't earn in ten years.

After a moment, he reacted and said respectfully: "Li Shuai, please come with me!" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, nodded, and followed behind the soldier.
