When Yan Jizu heard that the Jiannu army went south and drove directly to Shandong, the governor of Shandong in the Ming Dynasty was immediately shocked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, he also received an order from Yang Sichang, a scholar of the Dongge University of the Ministry of War, to immediately send troops to guard Dezhou, the north gate of Shandong, to prevent the Jiannu army from knocking on the pass and going straight down to Jinan.

Fortunately, as the Jiannu army approached Shandong step by step, Yan Jizu had already transferred Liu Zeqing's troops stationed in Qingzhou to Jinan to garrison, so he finally had a negotiable candidate in military affairs, and he was really glad at this time.

He immediately brought Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, and Wang Feng, the general of the town guard, to discuss, but there was no way, he was the number one military and political officer in Shandong, and he had the responsibility to defend the territory and could not shirk it.

"Lord Yuyan, the purpose of the general Guanjiannu's army to go south is still to start from Dezhou to some county towns to the south, these are all places where Jiannu can loot, there are not many or even no soldiers defending the city in these places, they are all officials and young people who rushed into battle, and Jiannu almost went down in one go."

Liu Zeqing showed the style of a veteran at this time, and he talked eloquently as soon as he came up, quite confident, in fact, he also beat the side drum for the decision of Yang Bingbu.

He is very concerned about the news of Jingshi, but he knows that Yang Sichang is now a favorite minister of Long Live Lord, and it is said that his status in the emperor's mind is more important than that of Shoufu, almost to the point of obeying his words, how can such a character be disrespectful.

His words are a meaning, well, Yang Bingbu's decision is clever, what he didn't say, kneeling and adding obvious meaning.

"Lord Liu means that Jiannu is still attacking some small cities and looting."

Yan Jizu squinted and thought about Liu Zeqing's words.

"Exactly, the Jiannu of Zhuozhou, Baoding, Tianjin Wei and other fortified cities in Gyeonggi did not attack any of them, but only attacked the county seats."

Liu Zeqing gave a positive reply, he thought he was right, the Jiannu army was indeed violent, but there was no attack on the state city and military state with heavy military protection, and it was clear that he didn't want to lose too much, to put it bluntly, Jiannu came to Daming to fight the grass valley, not desperately.

Not to mention that Yang Bingbu also has some real materials, it is still relatively accurate to see, and I know that Jiannu is a persimmon picking up soft pinch.

"As Lord Liu said, isn't it in danger that there are only five hundred defenders in Dezhou City."

Yan Jizu said to himself, he really has no bottom in his heart about Dezhou, Dezhou can be regarded as the north gate of Shandong, Yang Bingbu thinks that as long as Dezhou is held, the Jiannu army will not dare to go south, the problem is that it is impossible for Dezhou to defend the city with such a weak force.

"General Liu, this official ordered you to immediately lead 3,000 troops and horses from the headquarters to go out of Texas, and you must hold Texas, and you can't let Jiannu break the city."

Yan Jizu gave his life to Liu Zeqing.

Liu Zeqing immediately opened his mouth, he just said bluntly that he was born in Liaozhen and was familiar with Jiannu, really, it was just to show off, of course, it was also a compliment to this Yang Bingbu, he didn't expect Yan Jizu to dare to send the main force of Jinan to guard Dezhou.

He believes in the officialdom like a sieve in Daming, and what he said will reach Yang Sichang's ears sooner or later, this is what he has done, and he will honor the celebrity around this long-lived lord in the future, he is more stable as a general soldier, I didn't expect to bring such an errand to myself, this time it was too embarrassing.

Where is the small Dezhou City with the strong defense of Jinan Mansion, not to mention that it has nearly 200,000 people, how can it also recruit 20,000 young people, then plus the defenders of Jinan can be regarded as impregnable to describe, Texas, hey, can Texas hold it, but what he just said is too full, how to break.

Liu Zeqing was really in a hurry to dig his own grave at this time.

In fact, this is also the old bureaucrat Yan Jizu's heart, he just said that Yang Bing's edict said that Shandong must hold Dezhou without losing, but he didn't mention reinforcements or anything.

"My lord, Jinan City is garrisoned by His Royal Highness King De, and there are nearly 200,000 people, which is absolutely unacceptable."

Liu Zeqing was in a hurry, and sacrificed a big killing weapon, King De is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, and the fief is in Jinan, which no one dares to ignore.

"The city of Jinan is more than three zhang high, it is a famous strong city, and there are more than 1,000 soldiers of General Wang, and there are tens of thousands of young people in the city, enough to defend the city, but as soon as the north gate of Dezhou is opened, Jiannu can go south without worries, or the important thing in Texas as Yang Bing said."

Liu Zeqing knew that Yang Sichang's high position and power were extremely favored, and he Yan Jizu knew even more, and he also knew that Yang Sichang was very relied on by the Son of Heaven because of his merit in destroying rebellion, and even surpassed Liu Yuliang, the first assistant, did he dare not listen to the edict issued by such a person, if he disobeyed this lord, after Jiannu retreated, his official career would be in jeopardy.

"What's the matter, General Liu doesn't even dare to disobey the orders of the Ministry of War."

Yan Jizu immediately used the big stick of the military department to suppress people, but he knew that Liu Zeqing was also a thorn in the head, and he also had a history of disobedience, but when Liu Zeqing praised this order, Yan Jizu knew that Liu Zeqing was showing favor to Yang Sichang, and he was obviously very afraid of Yang Sichang, so it would be easy to do, and it would be good if he Liu Zeqing was afraid of someone.

Liu Zeqing's face is like ashes, Yang Sichang really can't be provoked, and he doesn't have the confidence to defend the city when he arrives in Texas.

Zhao Lie is discussing with Lan Mingshan the distribution of the 20,000 garrison troops left behind, according to Zhao Lie's idea, it is mainly divided into three major parts, Dengzhou, Dengzhou Water City and Shidao, which is the focus of protection.

He is not afraid of Jiannu's attack, as long as the army is out of battle, Jiannu's army will not want to attack Denglai, what he is afraid of is that the officials and soldiers of the imperial court will pull their hind legs at a critical time, which is the most deadly, if there is no lower limit, the people in the Ming officialdom are also.

Du Li hurriedly entered, whispered a few words in Zhao Lie's ear, Zhao Lie leaned back and sat down after listening, he let out a long sigh of relief, and finally waited for Jiannu's division of troops, very good, very good.

"Gather now." Zhao Lie stood up and slapped the table.

With Zhao Lie's words, the fast horse galloped towards the military camp and the sailor battalion.

However, the entire Shidao is still extremely calm from the outside, because the military camp on Shidao has been completely isolated from the outside, and the people outside do not know the situation inside the barracks at all, and they have done enough to achieve the concealment of the surprise attack.

In the evening, Zhao Lie returned home, and at dinner he announced the news of Jiannu's division of troops to attack Shandong.

There was silence at the dinner table, and the family understood that the time had come for Zhao Lie to send troops, and the time had come to decide the fate of the Zhao family.

Don't look at Zhao Lie's previous several big victories over Jiannu, but the number of Jiannu soldiers against him is not too much, and they were all caught off guard by Zhao Lie's surprise attack or attack, which can be regarded as a sword that goes sideways, but this time it is completely different.

This time, there are more than 100,000 troops in Jiannu, they know too well what kind of huge army this is, and the number of broken troops is at an absolute disadvantage, which is the disadvantage of a corner against a country.

"Lie'er, how many soldiers can the Broken Army go to battle." Zhao Qin's voice trembled and asked.

Alexandra, Li Lin, and Zhao E's eyes are also looking at Zhao Lie, in terms of women who have not gone into battle, looking at the strength of the two sides is, of course, first from the quantitative point of view, as for the elite of the soldiers, no matter how elite they are, they have to look at the number, this is the first thing the ladies look at when they see the two armies.

Zhao Lie smiled bitterly, he thought about it for a while, the cavalry of the Broken Army plus the Iron Fist and Mandi cavalry totaled 16,000 people, more than 23,000 soldiers, more than 10,000 Jeju battalions and Korean reinforcements, more than 4,000 people in the army, and more than 1,000 artillery teams.

"This time, the child will lead the 55,000 soldiers of the Broken Prisoner Army and the whole armor elite soldiers to fight a decisive battle against the enemy army, and he will definitely be able to return with a great victory."

In order to stabilize the hearts of the female dependents, Zhao Lie did not say that there were miscellaneous soldiers of the North Koreans and the Japanese here, otherwise their fragile hearts would be unbearable.

Zhao Qinshi breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed again,

"Lie'er, it is said that more than 50,000 soldiers are a lot, but there are more than 100,000 Jiannu troops, and you still have to fight with Jiannu, so the number of soldiers is still more."

Zhao Qin looked at Zhao Lie very seriously, and the look in his eyes was still extremely uneasy

"Lie'er, for my mother, I see that the garrisons of each guard post are quite well-trained, why don't you bring them to the battle formation."

Li Lin and Zhao E also nodded.

Yes, it's still a matter of quantity, Zhao Lie was speechless for a while.

"Mother, this time my son is going to use cavalry to raid the Jiannu army, and the reserve army can't run long distances without war horses."

Zhao Lie said with a wry smile, after drawing six thousand elite soldiers, the remaining reserve army is still worse than that, of course, if there are horses, let them go into battle and still be able to fight against the Han army flag, but what about the horses.

Zhao Lie has done his best to equip these more than 50,000 people with war horses, not a matter of money, Zhao Lie has silver money, but what about horses, the war horses that can be purchased are these, because Shidao merchants have purchased war horses in various places, in the past two years, a war horse of the Ming Dynasty has reached more than 60 taels of silver, which is often still priceless.

Here we must also leave some strength to protect the base camp of Denglai, especially Shidao, and we must not afford to lose.

"Okay, don't want your mother-in-law's, if you fight for power, your son will be the reincarnation of Qi Ye."

Zhao Haiming smiled and stopped Zhao Qin's continued thoughts, Zhao Haiming picked up a glass of wine,

"Lie'er is about to go on the expedition, and my father's firm belief that Lie'er will do his best to annihilate the barbarians and reorganize the rivers and mountains for my Han family.

Zhao Haiming's words were full of expectations for Zhao Lie, and he believed that his second son would definitely defeat Jiannu, and even, Ding Revolution.

Zhao Lie and Zhao Meng toasted together, and the atmosphere was warm.

The other female dependents can't say anything, and the Zhao family now seems to be the last hope of the Ming Dynasty to fight against Jiannu, (to be continued.) )
