As soon as the sky was dark, the Ming army embarked on the return journey south. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In Lianshanguan City, the sons and daughters captured nearly 2,000 war horses, more than 1,000 mules and horses, and countless heavy materials, and wiped out the old foundation in Lianshanguan City.

When they came, they followed quickly, but on the way back, they were a vast army of livestock and supplies, and there was no end in sight.

Countless Han slaves, under the watchful eye of the sons, carried supplies with their livestock, all the way south.

As the last team left the city, the sappers who had already prepared quickly lit the fuse in front of the city gate.

With the burning of the fire dragon of 'snort', not long after, there was a loud "boom", and the huge suspension bridge at the south gate of Lianshan Pass instantly shattered into pieces.

In this way, if the main force of the Houjin army wants to catch up with the Ming army, it is impossible to catch up with the Ming army without seven or eight days, or even ten days.

In the center of the team, Chen Zhong went to the front to investigate the terrain, and Li Yuanqing and Yang Miaocai rode on their horses respectively and moved forward slowly.

Not far from the two of them, on both sides of the row of warhorses, were hung with freshly cut and lime-powdered tartar heads.

Although it was covered with lime, because the time was too short, it took less than half an hour to cut it, and with Zhang Lianfu's secret recipe, these heads were still very fresh.

As a result, the air was filled with an indescribable smell of lime powder mixed with the smell of blood.

Li Yuanqing didn't have anything abnormal, but enjoyed it a little.

But Yang Miaocai couldn't bear it anymore, if it wasn't for the situation, he was afraid that he would have to find a place to vomit.

But Yang Miaocai knew very well that he must not do this.

How could the image of a man that he had accumulated with great difficulty be easily destroyed because of this little thing? I can only hold my breath and endure it.

Li Yuanqing naturally noticed Yang Miaocai's discomfort and said with a smile: "Brother Miaocai is uncomfortable, but you can go to the stream in front of you to wash your face first." ”

On the west side of the official road, a tributary of the Lianshanguan River flows slowly to the south, and the river water is very clear.

Yang Miaocai was amnesty, and hurriedly bowed his hand respectfully: "Thank you Li Shuai." "I ran to the front.

Looking at Yang Miaocai's slightly embarrassed figure, the corners of Li Yuanqing's mouth showed a relaxed smile.

Although Yang Miaocai is still a little immature, inadvertently, this guy has made great progress.

As the old saying goes, 'Winter is coming, will spring be far away?' ’

At this time, the army was 'dragging mud and water', and the speed of the march was definitely not fast.

When I came, it only took one afternoon to rush from Qingtaiyubao to this side, but at this time, if you want to rush to Qingtaiyubao, I am afraid that it will take at least three or two days.

However, Li Yuanqing was not worried about the safety of the brigade at all.

Lianshanguan is like a throat.

Because of Huang Taiji's contraction defensive strategy, the main forces of Houjin are all north of Lianshan Pass, and to the south, there are some weak small forts.

Li Yuanqing was afraid that they wouldn't come to find trouble.

It's a pity that at this time, the Ming army has enough prisoners, and the sons and daughters are too few, and it takes a lot of effort to guard them.

Otherwise, Li Yuanqing really wanted to clean up these Houjin forts south of Lianshan Pass.

But Li Yuanqing also knows very well that the most important thing in being a man is to stop in moderation.

At this time, although the strategic goal of going to Laozhai was not completed, ~~, it was more than enough for the imperial court and the new emperor Chongzhen.

What needs to be done now is no longer a frontal battlefield, but how to use the resources at hand to maximize one's own political interests.

In other words, it's time for Yang Miaocai and these pens to play......

However, Rao is overall situation is very stable, but Li Yuanqing still does not dare to slack off in the slightest, and personally stares at the front line.

At this time, although the threat of the Houjin army was not large, it was early autumn, and the weather was unpredictable, and epidemic diseases were most likely to form.

Especially with so many female dependents and children in the team, Li Yuanqing didn't dare to be careless.

Fortunately, there are a lot of livestock in the team, and the leg strength problem is not too worrying.

…………

Three days later, Li Yuanqing and the main force of the Ming army successfully arrived at the camp on the southwest slope of Qingtaiyu Fort and joined the left-behind sons.

The whole army rested for half a day, and continued along the Whistle River, all the way south, preparing to arrive at the mouth of the Whistle River, and join the incoming fleet.

At the same time, the main force of the Zhenglan Banner led by Mang Gurtai also arrived at Lianshan Guancheng.

In the side courtyard of the official hall, it was already a mess at this time.

Countless headless corpses were just beginning to fester, and the strong smell of blood and the stench of corpses was so rotten that people couldn't open their eyes.

"This, what the hell is going on? Yes..! Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on!! ”

Mang Gurtai is like a mad man-bear, and he can't help but look up to the sky and roar.

Zhenglan Banner Xun Guitun Blue hurriedly said: "Master, be careful. It's best to stay away from these corpses. In such a state of affairs, I am afraid that it is easy to form an epidemic. If the warriors get it, it's going to be a big problem. ”

"Humph!"

Mang Gurtai snorted coldly and strode out of the courtyard.

Tun Blu and more than a dozen henchmen and minions hurriedly came out and stood beside Mang Gurtai.

At this time, Leng Monk, a henchman of Mang Gurtai's descendants, hurriedly greeted him, and reported carefully: "Master, I have already inquired. Young Master Baiyin Atu is afraid that he has been kidnapped by Li Yuanqing......"

Although he had long expected this to be the case, when he really heard what people said, Mang Gurtai couldn't help but burst into a rage, grabbed the placket of Leng Monk's chest and shouted, "What else is the news?" Tell me it all! ”

"Yes.. Be. ”

Leng Seng Ji didn't dare to show off anymore, and hurriedly said: "Master, Li Yuanqing shouldn't have killed Young Master Baiyin Atu, but just captured him." If we chase fast, we still have a chance to catch up with them and rescue Young Master Baiyin Atul. ”

Mang Gurtai had calmed down a lot at this time, and nodded slowly, "Immediately order the sentinels in front to speed up their pace, and be sure to learn Li Yuanqing's whereabouts in the shortest possible time." ”

"Wow."

The servants around him were about to leave, but at this time, another sentry suddenly rushed in front of him, and he knelt on the ground, "Master, it's not good." The Ming army, the Ming army blew up the pontoon bridge at the south gate. If we want to get out of the city, I'm afraid we'll have to delay for at least seven or eight days......"

"What?"

…………

It is different from the reckless Gurtai who is still furious and crazy in Lianshan Pass.

At this time, the itinerary of the Ming army was very smooth.

With the help of war horses and mules and horses, the Ming army could travel at least thirty or forty miles a day.

The main reason is that the old and weak among them have been eliminated by Li Yuanqing, and there are so many war horses, mules and horses to carry materials together, which really saves a lot of effort.

On the seventh day of October, the whole army successfully arrived at the mouth of the Whistle River and joined the fleet that had come to meet them.

But ~~, to Li Yuanqing's surprise, at this time, in addition to the fleet that came to pick up from the Changsheng Battalion, there were also two old acquaintances and little brothers of Li Yuanqing.

Because the harvest of this trip is so rich, it will take some time to count the materials, including the allocation of manpower.

In addition, at this time, he had already arrived at the beach, and it was already Li Yuanqing's home field, Li Yuanqing was afraid that the main force of the Houjin Army would not come, so he directly ordered the sons and daughters to set up camp by the beach, and then board the ship after the affairs were cleaned up.

Of course, this is mainly the boarding of these trophies.

As for the next action of the surprise attack team, it still needs to be discussed again, whether to take a boat or continue to train by land for a while.

Inside the temporary big tent.

Shang Keyi and Shang Kexi, brothers in brand-new guerrilla robes, knelt down respectfully in front of Li Yuanqing: "The lowly Kashima guerrilla is still gratifying and righteous, and I have seen Li Shuai." ”

Li Yuanqing remembered it at this time.

Kashima is not far south of the mouth of the Whistle River, and since the Shang Kexi brothers call themselves Kashima guerrillas, presumably, they have been divided into Kashima.

"Huh. Brother, don't be polite, get up. You two brothers, this is a promotion. Not bad, very good. When did this happen? ”

Although Shang Kexi and Shang Keyi are more than ten times worse than Li Yuanqing's 'seniority', they are both old acquaintances, and Li Yuanqing's attitude towards the two is very soft.

Because of the relationship between the Liaoning South Commercial Bank, the two brothers were also very close to Li Yuanqing, and they got up with a smile.

Shang Keyi hurriedly arched his hand and said: "If you go back to Li Shuai, it won't be long, it's in mid-July and early August. Our brother has just arrived in Kashima and has not yet established himself. happened to meet the fleet of Changsheng Island, and we knew that Li Shuai had gone out to fight again. Just be cheeky to ask for a prize. ”

On the side, Shang Kexi also smiled.

Obviously, he was also very happy to see Li Yuanqing.

Although Li Yuanqing and these two brothers have a lot of 'seniority' differences, in fact, the age of the three is not much different, and Li Yuanqing is only a few years older than these two brothers.

Except for Li Yuanqing's high status, the three of them are actually the same age, and there is no obstacle to communication.

After a few simple greetings, Li Yuanqing asked Mao Wenlong about his state at this time, and Shang Kexi and the two brothers responded carefully one by one.

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly.

These days, Mao Wenlong's small life is quite good.

With the aftermath of Chao ~ Xian's victory, Mao Wenlong seized Amin's blue flag with a large number of materials and baggage, plus Mao Wenlong easily 'scraped three feet of land' in Chao ~ Xian, especially this year, Phi Dao, and the surrounding sweet potatoes, and got a bumper harvest, Mao Wenlong can be described as a spring breeze at this time.

Even, just a few days ago, Mao Wenlong took in a new concubine.

"Huh. In this matter, Yuan Qing was rude. I didn't even hear from me when I was out on the expedition. ”

Shang Kexi hurriedly smiled: "Li Shuai, you have made great contributions in Liaodi, and the big shuai will be happy when he knows it." When the time comes, it will be sent to Phi Dao together with the report paperwork, wouldn't it be a double happiness? ”

Li Yuanqing laughed.

At this time, Chen Zhong, who was busy with camp affairs outside, also got the news and hurried over, "Haha." What kind of fairy wind is this, blowing you two brothers over? ”

The three of them saluted, and then sat down.

Li Yuanqing laughed and said, "Today, if there is anything, let's talk about it at the wine table." Yuanji, you two brothers, are you ready for the wine? ”

Shang Kexi character Yuanji, Li Yuanqing is his 'senior', and he is his guide, and there is naturally no obstacle to calling his words.

Shang Kexi smiled busily: "Don't worry, Li Shuai." It has been prepared for a long time. Just waited for Chen Shuai to come over and start the whole together. ”

Everyone laughed.

…………

A banquet was drunk until midnight, Duan Xiliang, Chen Changyou, Shang Keyi, and Shang Kexi all lay down, and Chen Zhong couldn't find the north anymore, so it was coming to an end......

But Li Yuanqing was still extremely sober at this time.

Lighting a cigar and facing the cold sea breeze on the beach outside the tent, Li Yuanqing quietly looked at the lonely night sky.

Mao Wenlong put the Shang Kexi brothers in Kashima so early......

This eighty percent.. It's a matter of Zhang Pan and Chen ~ good policy, which stimulates Mao Wenlong a lot......
