Yang He and others went out of the city overnight, and they didn't dare to stop any way, and when it was dawn, they walked more than 100 miles.

Calculating the time, it was estimated that Jianyu should enter the city, and Yang He immediately ordered the soldiers to stop.

After a while, he heard a faint explosion in the direction of Guangning, Yang He's heart was sour, and tears flowed down involuntarily.

Yang He slowly knelt down in the direction of Guangning, then solemnly kowtowed three times, and muttered in his mouth: "Handsome, brothers, go all the way, Yang He will definitely bring his brothers back in the coming day to avenge your hatred." ”

Hei Yunhe and the others also knelt down in the direction of Quang Ninh, shouting: "I will avenge the handsome and my brothers in the coming day!" ”

Immediately, a group of soldiers also knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Avenge the commander and his brothers!" ”

After everyone kowtowed, Yang He stood up and said, "Let's go." ”

Hei Yunhe and the others nodded, and immediately beckoned the soldiers to continue on their way.

Kankan walked more than 30 miles, and a small city appeared in front of him.

"Brother Yang, the brothers are exhausted after a night of walking, let's take a rest in Dalinghe Fort?" Heiyunhe said to Yang He.

"Is that city in front of you the Great Linghe Fort?" Yang He asked.

Black Cloud Crane nodded.

"Xiong Tingbi met Wang Huazhen here in the first place." Yang He asked.

"This is it." Black Cloud Crane Road.

Yang He then asked: "When the marshal and his brothers were in the bloody battle of Xiping Fort, Xiong Tingbi garrisoned Luyang, which was the Luyang Fort we passed by last night, right?" ”

"yes, that's it." Black Cloud Crane Road.

"Hey, hey!" Yang He sneered and said: "The distance between Luyang and Guangning City and Dalinghe Fort is equal, the battle of Pingyang Bridge, the reinforcements were defeated, Xiong Tingbi did not lead troops to aid Guangning City, but led the troops to retreat to Dalinghe Fort. ”

Saying that, Yang He sighed softly: "Xiong Tingbi misled the country, and the handsome and brothers died unjustly!" ”

Hei Yunhe gently patted Yang He's shoulder: "Brother Yang, I know that you are sad that the handsome man and his brothers died in battle, but there are some things that are not to blame Xiong Tingbi, although Xiong Tingbi is a Liaodong strategy, but there are not many soldiers in his hands, to put it bluntly, he has no power or power, and the real blame is Wang Huazhen's waste." ”

Yang He shook his head: "Big brother Hei, the ancients said that if you don't do something, you must do something, since Xiong Tingbi has done the Liaodong Economic Strategy, he should take responsibility, not to mention that he still has troops in his hands, even if there is no soldier, he should also assume his own responsibility." ”

Hearing this, Black Cloud Crane nodded silently.

After a while, Yang He sighed softly and said, "Let's go, let the brothers go into the city to rest for a while." ”

When Heiyunhe heard this, he immediately ordered his own soldiers to inform the soldiers to enter the Dalinghe Fort.

Entering the castle, Yang He looked around.

Da Ling River Fort is the station of the left guard of Quang Ninh, the area is not large, the city is about two miles, and the city defense is far inferior to the city of Quang Ninh.

However, the geographical location of Dalinghe Fort is very critical, Dalinghe Fort is located in the middle of Guangning, that is, to the east of Jinzhou Wei. Jinzhou, on the other hand, is the choke point for communication inside and outside the Guan. If the city defense of Dalinghe Fort is strong, then the defensive pressure of Jinzhou Wei will be greatly reduced.

After inspecting the city defense of Dalinghe Fort for a while, Yang He shook his head slightly, such a key place, only such a small city was built, and the generals of the Ming Dynasty really had no strategic vision.

Just as he was checking the room, Zhang Shun ran over and said, "Mr. Qian, it's time to eat." ”

"Brother Zhang, we are our own brothers, you call me Master Qian, don't you kill me?" Yang He said with a smile.

"At this time, at that time, you are now President Qian, how dare we call you brother and brother again?" Zhang Shun said hurriedly.

Yang He shook his head and gently patted Zhang Shun's shoulder: "Brother Zhang, do you remember when the brothers worshipped me as a big brother?" Since my brothers call me big brother, no matter when, no matter how big an official I am, we will always be brothers. ”

Zhang Shun nodded heavily when he heard this.

Yang He waved his hand: "Let's go, eat with my brothers today." ”

Zhang Shun was overjoyed, he personally came to Yang He for dinner, just to invite Yang He to eat with his brothers, so as to deepen the relationship between the brothers and Yang He. Of course, it also has the meaning of showing off to other troops.

Yang He had dinner with Zhang Shun and others, and the soldiers of the guard battalion also came to join in the fun when they heard the news, and then Hei Yunhe, Zhang Mingxian and others also followed. Seeing that everyone was coming, Zhang Shun and the others were overjoyed, but Yang He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After eating, Yang He suddenly said: "Xiong Tingbi's original station is in Youtunwei, right?" How far is it from here? ”

Heiyunhe said: "About forty miles." ”

(Note: Guangning City is in present-day Beizhen City, Liaoning, Youtunwei is in the southeast of Linghai City, Jinzhou, and the Daling River flows into the sea through here.) ）

Yang He nodded.

Yang He collected several maps of Liaodong in Wang Huazhen's study, but those maps had no scale at all, so Yang He only knew the location of some important military points on the map, and did not know what the actual distance was.

After thinking about it, Yang He looked at Zhang Mingxian and said, "Brother Zhang, the last time you evacuated the people, did the soldiers and people of the Right Guard evacuate?" Also, have all the food and supplies stored there burned? ”

Zhang Mingxian said with a smile: "Xiong Tingbi has run away, and those troops of the Right Tun Guard and the people are not running together!" Do you still need our notice? ”

Yang He was stunned when he heard this: "You didn't notify the soldiers and civilians of the right guard to evacuate?" ”

"No! After I came to Dalinghe Fort last time, I saw that the pot had been smashed and the well had been filled, and I didn't see a single person, so I returned to Quang Ninh with my brothers. Zhang Ming said first.

"You didn't get to the right guard?" Yang He asked.

Zhang Mingxian nodded.

"Not good!" Yang He turned his head to look at Hei Yunhe and said: "Shenrong, you immediately send someone to rush to the right guard, if the garrison and people of the right guard have not evacuated, let them evacuate immediately." In addition, and most importantly, all the food and materials hoarded by the right guard must be burned. ”

After a pause, Yang He said with a straight face: "If I'm not mistaken, the grain and grass of the Liaodong army should be hoarded in Youtunwei, and these grains must not be left to Jianyu!" ”

"How do you know that the grain of the Liaodong army is placed in the right cantonment?" Black Cloud Crane Strange Road.

Yang He said: "Because the location of Guangning City is too far ahead, putting food and materials here and then transferring them elsewhere will undoubtedly consume more manpower and material resources, and no matter how stupid the people in the imperial court are, they will not even be unable to understand this account."

In addition, I have seen the grain depot in Guangning City, and there is not much grain stored in it, and it is estimated that it is enough for these tens of thousands of people in Guangning City to eat for a month or two, and it is definitely not enough to feed the army of more than 100,000 people in Liaodong, so the military food in Liaodong must be placed elsewhere.

Where will the grain and grass be placed? First of all, this place should be convenient for the imperial court to transport over, and the most economical and convenient way for the imperial court to transport grain is ship, which means that this place should be close to the sea.

Secondly, it is convenient to transfer to various places, that is, this place is best located in the middle of western Liaoning.

Later, I thought that Xiong Tingbi was stationed in the right tunwei, and I suspected that the military rations should be stationed in the right tunwei, otherwise, why didn't Xiong Tingbi garrison the troops elsewhere, but stationed in the right tunwei, I think his purpose was to take care of the military rations. ”

Zhang Ming said first: "Brother, since you know that the army's grain and grass are hoarded in the right guard, why didn't you remind me when you evacuated the people?" ”

Yang He smiled bitterly: "Big brother, I also saw that the grain in the grain depot in Guangning City was not enough for the army, so I suspected that the grain and grass of the army were not stored in Guangning City.

Later, I thought of Xiong Tingbi garrisoning in the right tunwei, so I dared to conclude that the grain and grass of the army were placed in the right tunwei, do you think I knew in advance? ”

"Hehe, I feel like you know everything." Zhang Mingxian said with a smile.

Yang He smiled: "I know everything, unless it is an immortal." ”

Zhang Ming had to say more, and when he saw Hei Yunhe waving his hand, he knew that now was not the time to praise Yang He.

Heiyunhe muttered: "If the military grain cantonment is placed on the right cantonment, when Xiong Tingbi orders the withdrawal of the army, he won't think of burning these grains, right?" Could it be that he would not inform the soldiers of the right guard? ”

Yang He said: "Xiong Tingbi should be able to give such an order, and what I am worried about is that the soldier did not carry out his order." In my opinion, unless Xiong Tingbi personally led people back to Youtunwei, the soldiers below probably would not return to Youtunwei to report the news, let alone burn grain and grass. ”

Hei Yunhe nodded: "Yes, the main generals have fled, and the soldiers below will naturally run as fast as they can, who will care about others, let alone delay their own lives for burning grain and grass." ”

Zhang Mingxian heard the words and said: "I personally took people to the right tunwei, and if the grain and grass are still there, I will set fire to the grain and grass." ”

Hei Yunhe said: "Lao Zhang, there are still a few horses in the army, you go on horseback, if the soldiers and people of the right guard are still there, just tell them about the situation in Guangning City, don't waste your energy on them, burning grain and grass is the key." After the grain and grass are burned, hurry back, we are waiting for you in Ning Yuanwei. ”

"Okay, let's meet in Ningyuan." Zhang Ming said first.

After speaking, Zhang Ming first summoned a few soldiers, and then rode the few remaining war horses in the army to gallop in the direction of the right guard.

After Zhang Mingxian and the others left, Yang He and the others took a short rest and set off.

There is no way, Dalinghe Fort is only more than 140 miles away from Guangning City, and for the cavalry, the distance of more than 140 miles is too close, and it only takes half a day to catch up.

Although Yang He planted mines at the west gate of Quang Ninh City, Yang He knew that the more the Jianyu suffered, the more dangerous it became. Because no matter who suffers such a big loss, he will not let go of the enemy.

And the soldier also knew that Jian Yu might catch up at any time, and in order to escape for his life, he could only grit his teeth and rush desperately.

However, I don't know if Jianyu was afraid of being bombed, or if it was delayed because of other things, Yang He and the others ran until Ningyuan and didn't see Jianyu's pursuers.

In fact, Dai Shan and Huang Taiji did send pursuers.
