"Report, Qingzhou victory, Qingzhou victory!" Just when the ministers were talking about the advantages and disadvantages of these two sets of plans, Song Dashan, the left supervisor of the Imperial Horse Prison who was waiting outside the door, suddenly walked in quickly with a sealed cylinder in both hands, and shouted loudly...... The update is so fast.

Hearing this, the ministers at the scene looked at Song Dashan in surprise, not knowing what great victory Qingzhou had.

"Your Majesty, Li Yuntian, the governor of Shandong, sent an 800-mile horse to report and defeat the 60,000 rebels who attacked Qingzhou!" Under Emperor Xuande's suspicious gaze, Song Dashan knelt in front of him, holding the cylinder high in both hands, and said loudly.

"Quick, bring it to me." Emperor Xuande's eyes flashed with astonishment when he heard this, and he hurriedly said to Jin Ying, who was standing aside.

Jin Ying immediately stepped forward and took the cylinder in Song Dashan's hand, opened it and took out an official document stamped with the seal of the governor of Shandong, bowed down and handed it to Emperor Xuande.

Emperor Xuande couldn't wait to pick up the official document and check it, Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu and others looked at him in unison, looking suspicious and confused, and they all wanted to know what was going on.

"What a Li Yushi, fighting alone, can achieve such a record, I am really not mistaken!" Soon, Emperor Xuande finished reading the official document, then slammed, reached out and slapped the table hard, and said with a look of surprise.

"I tell you all Aiqing a good news, Li Yushi broke the rebels in Qingzhou, and Qingzhou has no worries!" As he spoke, Emperor Xuande looked up at the ministers present and said with a smile.

Subsequently, he asked Jin Ying to give the official document in his hand to Yang Shiqi and circulated it to the ministers in turn. [34715671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 347 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 350

Li Yuntian knew that Emperor Xuande must be worried about the situation in Shandong now, so he immediately sent someone to inform him of the war in Heihugou and Donglin County.

"Your Majesty, Li Yushi successively broke the rebel Chen Lang and Yang Yong, and appeased Chen Lang, since then the rebels can no longer touch the area east of Qingzhou, and our army has gained the upper hand." After visiting the official document, Yang Shiqi looked up at Emperor Xuande and said with a smile.

To tell the truth, Li Yuntian's appearance greatly exceeded his expectations, originally Li Yuntian's role was to supervise the army, and marching and fighting was Xue Lu's business, but who would have thought that Li Yuntian also had such attainments in military affairs, breaking the Han King's plan to seize Qingzhou in one fell swoop, and compressing the rebels on the line of Dezhou, Le'an and Cangzhou.

"Sue Li Yushi, I will allow him to play, all those who died in the battle with the rebels will be changed from military households to civilian households!" Emperor Xuande's face showed a happy smile, and he said to Jin Ying on the side in a deep voice. The update is the fastest and most stable

Li Yunzhong specially asked Emperor Xuande for an edict, and said that the military household was transferred to the civilian household after the death of the war, so as to stimulate the morale of the army, and Emperor Xuande naturally agreed, and he was now more interested in Li Yuntian's Xiaowu army.

Since withdrawing to Qingzhou City, Li Yuntian hastened the time to train the more than 10,000 rebels who were captured, and at the same time strengthened the city defenses, and mobilized 5,000 people from Jinan City to help, waiting for the Han King to come to attack the city.

It is worth mentioning that among the 5,000 reinforcements from Jinan City, 4,000 were the rebel troops recruited by Li Yuntian after breaking through Qingzhou City, and Zhang Hao was sent back to Jinan City by Li Yuntian after the defeat in Dezhou.

Originally, Li Yuntian wanted to withdraw to Jinan City and reorganize the 4,000 people, but the world is impermanent, and now that he is determined to stick to Qingzhou City, he naturally wants to transfer these 4,000 elites back to defend the city.

If you calculate carefully, since Li Yuntian led his army to attack Qingzhou City, which Yang Yong defended, he had defeated 80,000 rebels, including 30,000 for Chen Lang and 50,000 for Yang Yong.

Yang Yong has been unlucky recently, first leading 20,000 rebels to defend Qingzhou City, but the Ming army unexpectedly collapsed the city wall, and he was driven out of Qingzhou City in a daze.

Later, when he led 30,000 rebels to besiege Donglin County, he was attacked by the Ming army that suddenly appeared, and then inexplicably ended up in a big defeat.

Therefore, when Yang Yong was defeated in Donglin County, the King of Han did not dare to reuse him anymore and asked him to stay in Le'an to assist Zhu Zhantan in defending the city.

Li Yuntian is not afraid of the King of Han coming to attack Qingzhou now, he has enough confidence to hold Qingzhou City, because the troops in his hands are now nearly 50,000 people, plus the city has enough food and grass, it can be said that there are many soldiers and enough food, and it is not easy for the King of Han to break through the city defense.

Among the men and horses under Li Yuntian's command, there were more than 10,000 people in the Xiaowu army, 15,000 elite rebels in the incorporating army, 5,000 ordinary rebels in the incorporating army, and the rest was the 19,000 Ming army led by Jin Rong.

The reason why there are ordinary rebels is because Li Yuntian reclassified the 11,000 rebels captured in Donglin County, and obtained more than 6,000 elite rebels, which were combined with the rebels who were captured in the previous two times, and prepared to be used as the reserve force of the Xiaowu army. [34715671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 347 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 350

And the remaining 5,000 ordinary rebels will join the Ming army in Jin Rong's hands after being absorbed.

In other words, the 11,000 rebel elites were the elite selected by Li Yuntian from the many rebel prisoners, and were going to be used to expand the size of the Xiaowu army and serve as the main force against the Han king.

In fact, Li Yuntian very much hoped that King Han would come to attack Qingzhou City, so that he could use the city defense of Qingzhou City to kill and injure a large number of rebels.

After the king of Han retreated to Le'an, he did not mobilize troops to deal with Li Yuntian in Qingzhou, but ordered his rebels to plunder Zhuangding everywhere to replenish their troops.

This made the Ming army and the rebels in Shandong maintain a strange quiet situation, no one launched an attack on the other side, and both sides took advantage of this opportunity to **** the wounds on their bodies like two wounded beasts, and recuperate.

Li Yuntian knew that the King of Han must be playing with something, because judging from the current situation, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the King of Han, because when the counterinsurgency army in Jingzhou City eases up, then Dezhou will rekindle the flames of war.

If the Ming armies in Jinan and Qingzhou also joined the battle at that time, then the Han King would face the pressure of a two-front battle, and with the strength of Li Yuntian and Xue Lu, he could at least form a team of more than 30,000 people to participate in the battle.

If nothing else, as long as these 30,000 people cut off the connection between Dezhou and Le'an, then the rebels will fall into passivity and be divided and surrounded by the Ming army, which is not a situation that the Han King hopes to meet.

Just when the Ming army and the rebels were resting, Li Yuntian received news from Dengzhou that Chen Lang, in order to suppress those supporters of the Han king, went on a killing spree in Dengzhou, killing a large number of officials and merchants who defected to the Han king, in order to show his determination to defect to the imperial court.

Originally, Chen Lang didn't want to do such a desperate thing, and after returning to Dengzhou City, he didn't take any harsh measures against those who supported King Han, secretly observing the situation in Qingzhou, wanting to see if Li Yuntian could block the rebels' counterattack, in his opinion, King Han would definitely not give up Qingzhou City, which was so geographically important.

When he learned that Li Yuntian attacked Yang Yong at night and made Yang Yong return in a crushing defeat, Chen Lang no longer hesitated, and immediately intensified his attack on the people who supported the Han King in Dengzhou, because he knew that the Han King could not recapture Qingzhou.

After Li Yuntian learned of Chen Lang's actions, he immediately wrote a letter to him to stop his excesses and put forward the general policy of "severely punishing the first evil and coercing them not to be prosecuted", which made the situation in Dengzhou gradually return to calm.

In early November, the situation in Shandong became tense again, and after a rest, Zhang Hao led an army of 120,000 troops from Jingzhou City and marched murderously to Dezhou, preparing for a disgrace.

In the face of the menacing counterinsurgency army, the king of Han immediately responded, still letting Lü Ping guard De'an County, the gateway of Dezhou City, and took the initiative to shrink his forces, and transferred the rebels on the surrounding boundaries back to defend Dezhou City, putting on a posture that could not be defended.

As a result, the strength of the rebel army in Dezhou is still 100,000, of which 40,000 are in the county seat of De'an County and 60,000 in Dezhou City, which is on par with the counterinsurgency army.

Although Yang Yong lost more than 20,000 people in the county seat of Donglin County, the rebels captured more than 30,000 prisoners during the last defeat of the rebel army, and all of these prisoners have now been incorporated into the rebel army, so the strength at hand of the Han king has not been affected much.

At the same time, Li Yuntian mobilized the troops of Jinan City and Qingzhou City, gathered 30,000 people, and led him to Le'an, preparing to cut off the connection between Le'an and the rebels in the direction of Dezhou.

Jin Rong did not follow Li Yuntian to issue a certificate, Li Yuntian asked him to defend the city in Qingzhou City, and the Han King was scheming, so as not to let Qingzhou City be captured by the Han King taking advantage of the "chaos".

Among the 30,000 people in Li Yuntian's hands, there are 10,000 Xiaowu Army, 10,000 reserve Xiaowu Army, that is, 10,000 elite rebels and 10,000 ordinary Ming troops.

Le'an City is the lair of the King of Han, and the King of Han left 50,000 people to guard the city, commanded by Zhu Zhantan.

Originally, Li Yuntian thought that Zhu Zhantan would send people to attack him after he led his army into the territory of Le'an Prefecture, but he was wrong, Zhu Zhantan did not do that but let him enter Le'an Prefecture, because with the solidity of Le'an City, Li Yuntian would definitely not be able to capture it, and Zhu Zhantan could attack Li Yuntian's garrison camp at any time.

The only thing that worries Zhu Zhantan is whether Li Yuntian can still be like when he was in Qingzhou City, and he doesn't know what method he used to collapse the walls of Le'an City.

In fact, Li Yuntian also wanted to use the yellow "color" explosives to blow up Le'an City again, but unfortunately, due to the limitations of materials and technology, he had already used up the yellow "color" explosives made by the Jiangwutang Academy of Sciences when he attacked Qingzhou City last time, and if he wanted to obtain a sufficient amount of yellow "color" explosives, he could only wait until next year.

However, Li Yuntian did not stay too long in Le'an Prefecture, and when he found that Zhu Zhantan had no intention of confronting him head-on, he immediately led his troops to leave and went to attack Wu'an County, the county seat closest to Le'an Prefecture.

The county seat of Wu'an County was the territory of the King of Han, and because the King of Han did not have extra troops to defend the county seat under his banner, there were only 3,000 rebels stationed in Wu'an County.

Li Yuntian then set up a siege battle outside the city, and the rebels defending the city attacked the Ming army with many powerful soldiers, so they had no fighting spirit, and fled under the leadership of the defending generals, and the wolf bèi ran to the city of Dezhou unbearable.

As soon as the rebels fled, the magistrate of Wu'an County immediately opened the city gate and welcomed the Ming army outside the city, and Li Yuntian's soldiers entered Wu'an County without blood, successfully cutting off the connection between Le'an and the Texas rebels
