Qingzhou City, Qingzhou Mansion, a quiet wing. The update is the fastest and most stable, and the latest chapter is available at wèn: shuhАhА.cc.

Li Yuntian stood in front of the wall with his hands on his chest, frowning and looking at a map of the situation of the enemy and the enemy in the Shandong territory hanging on the wall, on which the red "color" arrows representing the Ming army and the blue "color" arrows representing the rebel army were intertwined and entangled with each other.

Since Zhang Hao's counterinsurgency army was heavily damaged by the King of Han and Lü Ping of Dezhou City, Qingzhou City has become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the rebels.

Now, the King of Han has gathered a large army in Le'an, and the Dengzhou Mansion and the Laizhou Mansion have also mobilized troops, preparing to encircle Qingzhou City with the King of Han on the left and the right.

Although Li Yuntian has 30,000 people in his hands and more than 10,000 prisoners, in his opinion, there are only 20,000 who can fight the rebels at best, and the remaining 10,000 are just cannon fodder, and he also has to take prisoners of more than 10,000 people, which doubles the pressure.

For cannon fodder, you can still wave the flag and shout when you fight against the wind, but once you fight against the wind, it will definitely fall apart and the wolf will rush to the pig.

Li Yuntian now has a great headache, according to his plan, after capturing Qingzhou City, he will lure the King of Han over, and then use the city defense of Qingzhou City to consume the rebels' troops, and then provide Zhang Hao with an opportunity to attack Dezhou City.

But who would have thought that the King of Han was scheming, and he actually killed a horse pistol halfway, which caused Zhang Hao to suffer heavy losses, reversed the tide of the battle in Texas in one fell swoop, and forced Zhang Hao to retreat to Jingzhou City.

In this way, the pressure to resist the rebels in Shandong suddenly fell on Li Yuntian's shoulders, originally he only played a supporting role in Shandong, but as soon as Zhang Hao retreated, he pushed him to the front line of resisting the rebels, and had to confront the king of Han head-on.

At present, there are only two ways to go in front of Li Yuntian, one is to stick to Qingzhou City, rely on the city defense of Qingzhou City to fight offensive and defensive battles with the rebels, and wait for reinforcements from Xue Lu of Jinan City.

There were originally 70,000 people in Jinan City, and 65,000 remained after Jin Rong lost more than 5,000 people.

Li Yuntian took away 20,000 people in Qingzhou City this time, and now there are more than 45,000 people in Jinan City, and more than 35,000 people are left after removing the vacancies, which is enough to divide a force of more than 20,000 people to come to the rescue, and at the same time requisition the troops of Jining Mansion and Dongchang Mansion to hold Jinan City.

The other way is to retreat to Jinan City, form an angle with Jingzhou City to fight against the rebels, and then look for fighters to break the enemy in the future.

In these two roads, Li Yuntian will of course choose to retreat to Jinan City, he doesn't want to stay in Qingzhou and merge with the rebels, so it will become an out-and-out war of attrition, destroying 1,000 enemies and losing 800 himself. The update is the fastest and most stable

But if he left like this, he was a little unwilling, after all, as long as he held Qingzhou City, he could cut off the connection between the eastern and western rebels, forcing the rebels in Dezhou City to fight on two fronts and fall into passivity in Shandong.

However, Zhang Hao was too careless, and did not guard against the Han King's voice, so he went around his flank and rear to carry out a sneak attack, and then returned defeated.

"Report!" Just when Li Yuntian was hesitating, a loud voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in." Li Yuntian turned around and looked at the door.

"My lord, according to the spies, the rebels of Dengzhou Mansion and Laizhou Mansion have taken 30,000 horses and horses to gather in Dengzhou City, and it seems that they are coming for us." A captain walked in and said to Li Yuntian in a deep voice.

"Thirty thousand!" Li Yuntian's brows suddenly furrowed slightly.

Coupled with the strong men recruited from the people, the troops of Dengzhou Mansion and Laizhou Mansion are only fifty or sixty thousand, and now half of the troops are coming at once, and it seems that the King of Han is bound to win Qingzhou City.

Subsequently, Li Yuntian came to the map, staring intently at the situation of the enemy and the enemy on the map, once he was surrounded by the rebels in Qingzhou City, it would be difficult for him to break through.

"Invite Lord Jin here." After staring at the map and pondering for a while, Li Yuntian nodded thoughtfully and instructed the captain who was standing aside.

Jin Rong was leading people to inspect Qingzhou City at this time, arranging the city defense matters with a stern expression, and hurriedly rushed to the government after learning that Li Yuntian was looking for him. [33915671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 339 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 342

In order to avoid affecting morale, the news of the Ming army's defeat in Dezhou was blocked by Li Yuntian, and only a few people in Qingzhou City, such as Li Yuntian and Jin Rong, knew about it.

As a general who has experienced a hundred battles, Jin Rong naturally knew that the King of Han would definitely attack Qingzhou City after repelling Zhang Hao, so as to open up the connection between the eastern and western parts of the rebels, which meant that Qingzhou City would usher in a tragic offensive and defensive battle.

"Lord Jin, this official has thought twice and decided to avoid the enemy's edge and evacuate Qingzhou City." After Jin Rong came, Li Yuntian asked the guards at the door to close the door, and then said to Jin Rong in a deep voice, "But this official can't just leave, he must give King Han a powerful look!" ”

"If the lord has something to order, the lower official will do his best!" Jin Rong couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Yuntian to take the initiative to abandon the city, and then felt that Li Yuntian had something to say, so he looked at him solemnly.

"This official hopes that you can lead 20,000 troops to the county seat of Donglin County to block Le'an's enemy." Li Yuntian walked up to the map on the wall, pointed to the county seat of Donglin County in the northwest of Qingzhou City, and said, "This official doesn't want you to defend there, as long as you hold on for three days, you can retreat to Jinan City." ”

"My lord, what are you going to do with those captives?"

Jin Rong's eyes showed a look of surprise, he never imagined that Li Yuntian would divide his troops at this time and let him stop the rebels of Le Anlai, so that there were only 10,000 horses left in Qingzhou City, and there were more than 10,000 prisoners in the city.

"Recruit the able-bodied, and the rest will be repatriated home for the passage expenses." Hearing this, Li Yuntian replied in an orderly manner, those prisoners naturally could not be left to the rebels, and it was inconvenient to retreat with the prisoners, so the best way was to collect and repatriate.

"My lord, when will Xia Guan go to Donglin County?" Jin Rong saw that Li Yuntian had already thought of a countermeasure, so he asked in a deep voice.

"I'll leave early tomorrow morning." Li Yuntian smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a sly smile, "You have to leave with great fanfare, so that everyone knows that you have gone to Donglin County!" ”

"Xia Guan understands." Jin Rong nodded when he heard this, he knew what Li Yuntian meant, and wanted to let the rebels know that he had taken people to defend Donglin County, but in his heart he was very suspicious of Li Yuntian's intentions, and he couldn't understand what kind of "medicine" Li Yuntian was selling in his gourd, did he have to rely on more than 10,000 people in his hands to resist the rebels in Dengzhou Mansion and Laizhou Mansion?

Li Yuntian didn't mean to tell Jin Rong about his intention to do so, so Jin Rong couldn't ask about it, and then retired and went to prepare for tomorrow's expedition.

At the same time, Li Yuntian asked the people of the Xiaowu Army to go to the prisoner camp to select the strong ones for reorganization, register and make a register, and obtained more than 4,000 people.

The rest of the captives were given travel money and told to return to their hometowns the next day or take refuge in refugee camps in Jining and Dongchang provinces, and then return to their hometowns when the fighting had subsided.

However, to Li Yuntian's surprise, the vast majority of the repatriated captives were unwilling to leave and wanted to join the Ming army to fight the rebels.

Because the war between Emperor Hongxi and the King of Han belonged to the civil war of the Ming royal family, many soldiers were passively involved in this war, and there was no deep hatred between them, so Li Yuntian did not treat the captives as enemies like the Northern Yuan, and maximized the conditions in the prisoner camp, after all, these captives will be part of the Ming army in the future.

Moreover, Li Yuntian still has his own ideas, the two armies are not only fighting for force but also for resourcefulness, and his preferential treatment of these prisoners will definitely have an impact on the rebels, and then invisibly play a role in breaking the rebels' will to fight.

In fact, Li Yuntian didn't do anything special, but only improved the food and accommodation conditions of the prisoner camp, making them more like living in a strictly guarded barracks.

The diet of the Ming army in Qingzhou City is divided into two grades, the first grade is the Xiaowu army, and the second grade is the other Ming army.

Even the second-grade Ming army could eat meat every day, and the diet in the prisoner camp was the same as that of the second-grade Ming army.

In the prisoner camp, the captives not only ate well and lived at ease, but the doctors also treated the sick, gathered together in their leisure time to bask in the sun, play the free card and so on, and lived a good life.

Originally, Jin Rong was also worried that Li Yuntian's approach would cause some kind of "chaos", after all, the usual practice for the captives was to let them eat three points full and be in a state of starvation, so as not to have the strength to make trouble or even riot.

But then Jin Rong was relieved, although there would be group beatings in the prisoner camp from time to time, but they were all personal grievances, and as for deliberately causing trouble or rioting against the Ming army guarding it, it never happened.

Under the generous treatment of the prisoner camp, the prisoners were eager to take the opportunity to have a few more days of leisure, and those who wanted to leave and return to the battlefield when they were full of food and support would hang up when they were not allowed to fight.

Because the Ming Dynasty implemented the cantonment system, the rebels were basically from the military households or civilian households in the areas ruled by the Han Dynasty, and for the captives, instead of returning to their hometowns and being recruited by the rebels or suffering in the refugee camps, it was better to follow Li Yuntian and at least eat for a few days.

This situation was unexpected by Li Yuntian, and it was also a surprise, but he couldn't keep those prisoners, not because those prisoners were difficult to control, but because these prisoners were used by him to fight psychological warfare with the rebels, and only by dismissing the prisoners could some of them return to the rebels, which would affect the rebels.

When Jin Rong led the army to Donglin County, Li Yuntian held a grand departure ceremony for him, which made the streets of Qingzhou empty, and the people ran to see the excitement.

Jin Rong left Qingzhou City on the same day as the 4,000 recruited captives, whose destination was Jinan City, and Li Yuntian put Xue Lu in charge of reorganizing them.

In order to appease the people in the city, Li Yuntian asked people to post notices on the streets, telling the people that he had mobilized 50,000 horses in Jinan City, and as long as the rebels dared to invade Qingzhou City, then the 50,000 horses would make the rebels have no return.

Since Li Yuntian personally sat in Qingzhou City, the people in the city naturally would not suspect that the content on the notice was false, otherwise how could Li Yuntian still stay here? This made the city orderly and the people lived as usual
