When Li Li ordered the assembly, the rebels in Jiaozhou were living a leisurely life, and many people were wandering the streets to have fun, waiting for Li Li to officially take charge of the Jiaozhi regime and be rewarded for his meritorious service.

With the issuance of Li Li's order, the entire Jiaozhou City was suddenly in chaos, and the rebel soldiers who returned to the barracks in a hurry could be seen everywhere in Jiaozhou City.

To Li Li's annoyance, the next day, when he summoned his generals and civilian officials to discuss the military operation, several generals and civilian officials could not be contacted, and they did not know where they went, and it seemed that they were not in Jiaozhou City.

While Li Li asked people to look for those generals and civil officials, he told everyone who participated in the deliberations what happened in Anliang County, which surprised everyone at the scene, and no one thought that the Ming army in Sanjiang City still had the strength to fight back.

Later, under Li Li's reminder, those officials realized that it might be the reinforcements of the Ming army, and there was a good chance that it was the Xiaowu Army mentioned in the official notice, which made the atmosphere at the scene tense immediately, and no one expected the Xiaowu Army to come so quickly.

"Lord Wang, could it be that the Ming army has already rushed over, and the notice issued by the government is just to cover people's eyes?" Amid the discussion among the people, a man of medium height and in his forties looked at Li Li and asked in a deep voice.

This medium-sized man was Li Li's important adviser Li Li, who let Li Li go south from the Ming army's heavily guarded Thanh Hoa Mansion to attack Yi'an Mansion, and then opened up the situation for Li Li in one fell swoop and developed rapidly.

Hearing this, the scene suddenly fell silent, and people looked at Li Li one after another, which was also what they were thinking about.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials think that the person who attacked Anliang County should not be the Xiaowu Army, how could the emperor of the Ming Court expect that the deputy general he sent to Jiaozhi would be killed in battle and get a big defeat?"

At this time, an emaciated middle-aged man sitting at the head of Li Li sighed, looked at Li Li with a stern expression and said, "In the eyes of Xia Guan, the people who attacked Anliang County this time must be those Ming troops in Sanjiang City, and the new General Dingnan is in Sanjiang City at this time, which is very likely to be his handwriting." ”

This emaciated middle-aged man is Ruan Yan, the chief strategist beside Li Li, who helps Li Li take care of the military and political affairs of the Jiaozhi rebels, without Ruan Yan, Li Li would not have developed so fast.

It is worth mentioning that "Ping Wu Dahe" was written by Ruan Yan and won the trust of Li Li.

"You mean, it was General Dingnan of the Ming Army who planned this sneak attack?" Li Li's brows suddenly furrowed tightly, because he had always despised Li Yuntian, so he didn't expect this, how could he think that Li Yuntian could have such courage? After a deep groan, he asked Ruan Yan with his eyebrows tightly locked.

"Exactly." Ruan Yan nodded when he heard this, and said in an orderly manner, "Xia Guan heard that although this Dingnan general is young, he is very good at marching and fighting, and he defeated the Han King who was strong in the Ming court in Heiniu Town. ”

"Lord Wang, although the Dingnan general is young, but this person should not be underestimated, this person is a Jinshi, and he can be appointed by the Ming Emperor as the commander of the army, which shows that he has some real ability, otherwise he will not be able to serve the public in the army." As he spoke, Ruan Yan reminded Li Li without moving.

Once upon a time, Ruan Yan still had nothing to talk about with Li Li, and they were good brothers who shared life and death, but as the rebels grew stronger and stronger in Jiaozhi, the majesty of Li Li also increased, which made Ruan Yan have to change, and gradually adjusted his role in front of Li Li, from a brother to Li Li's subordinate, and he was a little more respectful to Li Li.

Li Li's eyes flashed with a look of surprise when he heard this, he didn't expect Ruan Yan to value Li Yuntian so much, and he was so optimistic about the remnants of Sanjiang City.

"Lord Ruan, what do you say this king should do?" However, Ruan Yan's idea has always been unique, and he has never made a mistake in looking at things, so he looked up at him.

Everyone at the scene also looked at Ruan Yan, who can be called the rebel's military advisor, and when the rebels encounter heavy affairs, they basically follow his ideas.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials think that the top priority is to rush to Lilian Prefecture, the Ming army is good at attacking cities, and the lower officials are worried that General Chen in Lilian Prefecture will suffer." Ruan Yan pondered for a moment and said methodically, "At the same time, mobilize the army in the city to attack Sanjiang City!" ”

"Attack Sanjiang City?" Everyone present couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, there is still an Anliang county town in front of Sanjiang City, if you bypass Anliang County, wouldn't it be easy for the Ming army to cut off the retreat of the rebels into Sanjiang Mansion?

"Lord Wang, the Ming army in Sanjiang City is mainly from Jiaozhou City, and the soldiers and horses are only tens of thousands, since the Ming army can break through Anliang County in a short period of time, it means that the Ming army attacking Anliang County is the elite, so the Ming army left in Sanjiang City is naturally an old and weak soldier."

Ruan Yan smiled slightly and explained to Li Li, "The reason why General Dingnan of the Ming army took the risk of sending troops to attack Anliang County is to boost the morale of the Ming army on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wants to scare our army with this. ”

"As for the Ming army in Anliang County, they must have injured a lot of vitality when attacking the city, and the number is small, and they will definitely hold on to our army and wait for reinforcements, as long as they send troops to Anliang County, the Ming army in the city will be the turtle in the urn." As he spoke, Ruan Yan stretched out his right palm and clenched it in the air, ruling out the threat of the Ming army in Anliang County to the rebels.

The reason why Ruan Yan had such confidence was because the rebels had an absolute advantage in the face of the Ming army in Sanjiang City and Anliang County, and in order to attack Sanjiang City and capture Li Yuntian, Li Li had already ordered the rebels who had marched to Beijiang Prefecture, Zhenmanfu and Zhili Prefecture to return to Jiaozhou City.

At this moment, the rebel army in Jiaozhou City has reached 150,000 people, plus the 20,000 rebels in Lilian Prefecture, the strength has reached 170,000 people, which is several times that of the Ming army in Sanjiang City and Anliang County, and it is natural that it will be able to effectively besiege Anliang County.

"The king ordered that the whole army set off tomorrow to besiege Anliang County." Li Li saw that Ruan Yan was right, and felt very reasonable in his heart, so he thought about it, and quickly made up his mind in his heart, and gave an order to everyone present in a deep voice.

As Ruan Yan said, if Sanjiang City is empty, then it is a good opportunity for Li Li to capture Sanjiang City, once the army besieges the city, then Li Yuntian inside will be unable to escape.

"Report." As soon as his words fell, a hurried voice came from outside the door, and a sergeant walked into the room quickly, knelt down on one knee at Li Li, and said in a loud voice, "The spies have come to report, and the Dingnan general of the Ming court has set off to Anliang County to supervise the battle, and now I am afraid that he has arrived in Anliang County." ”

Hearing this, the people at the scene were surprised again, no one would have thought that Li Yuntian would not stay in Sanjiang City, where the city is high and thick, but went to Anliang County, which was simply killing himself.

"Is this message accurate?" Ruan Yan's brows suddenly furrowed, he didn't expect Li Yuntian to come to such a hand, and then asked in a deep voice quietly.

"It's true, according to the spies, they witnessed General Dingnan leaving the city surrounded by guards." The sergeant nodded hurriedly.

"How did he know General Dingnan?" At this time, Li only couldn't help but ask, in his opinion, Li Yuntian's move was undoubtedly looking for death, and he suspected that the news was fake.

"When General Dingnan of the Ming Court entered Sanjiang City, he saw it on the street, and the officials of Sanjiang City were all in awe of him, and Cheng Shanbo of the Ming Court was ordered by him to be sent to the capital to punish the crime." The sergeant gasped and replied in a loud voice.

With a buzz, the scene suddenly became commotion, and the people present exchanged their heads and whispered, and their faces all showed excited looks, so the Dingnan general of the Ming army really went to Anliang County.

As for why Li Yuntian went to Anliang County, then it is easy to explain that it is to boost the morale of the Ming army in Anliang County, if this is the case, as long as the rebels gather heavy troops to capture Anliang County, even if they can't capture Li Yuntian alive, they can let Li Yuntian die in another country.

Unlike the excited crowd, Ruan Yan's eyebrows were tightly locked, and the expression on his face gradually became stern, he really couldn't understand why Li Yuntian wanted to abandon such a good city as Sanjiang City, and go to Anliang County to take an adventure.

Although Li Yuntian's arrival will boost the morale of the Ming army in Anliang County, but he will also put himself in danger, as the commander of the Jiaozhi Ming Army, once Li Yuntian has an accident, then the Jiaozhi Ming Army will inevitably collapse, can't Li Yuntian see this?

"Lord Wang, this Dingnan general of the Ming Court is too arrogant, and he wants to rely on the small county town of Anliang to confront our army, which is simply beyond his strength."

Just when Ruan Yan pondered Li Yuntian's intention to do this, a strong middle-aged military general stood up and said proudly, "As long as the prince gives the lowly post 50,000 troops, the lowly will capture the general Dingnan to the prince." ”

This middle-aged military general Fan You, a general under Li Li, was the first group of people to follow Li Li's rebellion, so he won Li Li's trust, it was he who led people to set up an ambush and shot Liu Sheng, who was advancing alone, so that the Ming army of the rebellion was leaderless, and then fell into a panic, and was finally defeated by the rebels.

After experiencing the battle with the main force of the Ming army under Liu Sheng, Fan You felt that the elite troops of the Ming army were nothing more than that, so he couldn't help but feel proud and complacent in his heart, thinking that the Ming army was no longer Zhang Fu's brave martial arts in the period of counterinsurgency in Jiaozhi.

The reason why Zhang Fu was able to capture Annan in just a few months and capture alive Li Jichen, the powerful minister of Annan, is closely related to the brave and good fighting of the Ming army.

Now more than 20 years have passed, as the drawbacks of the Ming Tun military system are becoming more and more obvious, the combat effectiveness of the Ming guard army is declining year by year, and now even the most elite Jingwei of the Ming Dynasty can no longer have the demeanor of the Ming army when it swept through the country of Annan.

Therefore, after defeating the Ming army that came to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion one after another, it is logical for Fan You to look down on the Ming army, after all, speaking with strength on the battlefield, the past glory has become a cloud of the past.!^!
