However, after Yu Xiaotian was ordered to set off, from his departure in Fushan to Pingdu Prefecture, it was only more than half a month, Yu Xiaotian first "cracked" the reverse case of Gujiazhuang trying to collude with the rebels to seize Jiaozhou City, and then in less than ten days, he defeated the rebels several times (and fought with a small group of rebels scattered outside Pingdu Prefecture), and now he actually recovered Pingdu Prefecture in one fell swoop.

It's amazing, it's just amazing! This is also since the rebels rebels rebels, the official army officially recovered the first rebel actually controlled the city, so the news, undoubtedly Zhu Dadian a shot of stimulants, so he hurriedly wrote a book, sent to the Beijing division, to the imperial court, on the other hand, hurriedly sent people to take over Pingdu Prefecture, but also hurriedly allocated all kinds of money, food, gunpowder and other materials to the Yu family's army.

Zhu Dadian was really happy, Yu Xiaotian led his troops to arrive, and it really solved a big problem for him, this guy really did not live up to his prestige in Fujian, and the Fujian soldiers and horses under his command were really a strong army, and they were so able to fight, and the rebels didn't seem to be their opponents at all.

But where did he know that Yu Xiaotian fought in Pingdu, he didn't make much effort to deal with the rebels entrenched in Pingdu Prefecture, after a few days of fighting, the loss of the soldiers under his command can be said to be very small, the battle loss ratio almost reached one hundred to one or two, the rebels lost a hundred people, he only lost one or two, the biggest loss, that is, a part of the ammunition was consumed, and even the cannon was not used, so Pingdu City was recovered.

In the battle report, Yu Xiaotian deliberately exaggerated his losses, claiming that the losses were also very large, but he didn't want Zhu Dadian and the imperial court to know too much about his combat effectiveness.

He didn't want to make a fuss, and in the end the emperor was happy, and transferred him to Liaodong, and now he went to fight Jiannu, with his ability, it was not much of a problem to fight Jiannu now, but the Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army on the Liaodong side fought separately, and he had a small general soldier in the past, and he would definitely be subject to other officials, not to mention that he would completely lose his autonomy at that time, and he would have to deal with those Guanning troops at any time, and he would have to guard against being stabbed in the back by them at any time.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian didn't want to destroy Jiannu at all, in his eyes, the Jiannu army is not a too powerful opponent at all, but he is a big helper in the Central Plains in the future.

Once one day he officially rises up and announces that he wants to betray the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty can gather the strength of the whole country to deal with him!

So he didn't want to, now he will completely become the gun of the Ming Dynasty, and be used as a gun by Chongzhen, he wants to see the situation of the Ming Dynasty with his own eyes, and gradually and completely erosive, until it is finally impossible to clean up Cheng Dù, he immediately crosses the knife to turn the tide for the Han nation and reorganize the rivers and mountains.

Therefore, although he killed the rebels in the area of Pingdu Prefecture, he deliberately exaggerated his losses in the battle report, saying that after this battle, he must have a certain period of rest before he can continue to advance towards Laizhou, otherwise he has a very high possibility of failure.

Presumably Zhu Dadian is now so dependent on him, as soon as he says this, Zhu Dadian will definitely not dare to let him go alone, and go to Laizhou to relieve the siege independently, this counterinsurgency work, he can do it himself, but he can't let those Shandong soldiers, Zhejiang soldiers, and Sichuan soldiers be too idle, at least let them slip their legs and eat a little loss, otherwise, it will be too cheap for those war scum.

Zhu Dadian really doesn't know the real situation, and he also thinks that the rebels are very strong, although Yu Xiaotian led the Fujian soldiers and horses under his command and won a big victory, but it must have suffered a lot of losses, after all, Pingdu Prefecture is a strong city, and it is not easy to fight down, even if he knows Yu Xiaotian's strategy, but he can't guess that Yu Xiaotian will use such a small price to achieve such a big victory.

So Zhu Dadian hurriedly sent people to Pingdu Prefecture to appease Yu Xiaotian, and expressed his agreement to Yu Xiaotian's request, so that Yu Jia's army could rest in Pingdu Prefecture for ten days and half a month, and he also said that he would do his best to provide Yu Xiaotian with food and straw to ensure that the Fujian officers and soldiers received sufficient supplies.

Of course, the people he sent to Pingdu also shouldered another responsibility, one is to take over Pingdu City, so as not to let Pingdu City be in the hands of Fujian officers and soldiers for too long, and the scourge of Pingdu City is too great, and by the way, he also points to the results announced by Yu Xiaotian this time, and kills more than 1,000 rebels. I'm afraid I can't see why.

A few days later, a group of people appeared outside Pingdu City, and the person sent by Zhu Dadian was Zhao Shantang, the new governor of Pingdu Prefecture of the imperial court.

Along the way, the new Zhao Zhizhou can be said to have been fifteen buckets of water in his heart, seven up and eight down, as an official, of course, he knows very well what the virtues of the officers and soldiers are, Pingdu Prefecture was conquered by the rebels first, and it must have been harmed by the disaster.

This time he went to Pingdu to take up his post, in fact, he was reluctant, but the court had an order, and he didn't dare not come, but in his heart, he had already determined that Pingdu City was already in a mess at the moment, and he was now here to take up a hot taro.

He himself didn't know how to deal with the chaos in front of him after he arrived in Pingdu, although this time he went to Pingdu to take office, Zhu Dadian specially allocated 500 Shandong soldiers to accompany him to garrison Pingdu.

But what kind of virtue is the Shandong soldiers he brought, he himself knows that although as the main local army, these Shandong soldiers will not make too much trouble, but at the moment Pingdu City is controlled in the hands of the Fujian soldiers, he brought the troops over, will the Fujian soldiers honestly let Pingdu City out?

Zhao Zhizhou's mood on the way is not to mention how bad it is, and he has not dealt with the officers and soldiers of Fujian, and he doesn't know if this Yu Xiaotian is good to serve, now it is the time of the war and chaos, the rebels are in Laizhou, and they are besieging Laizhou City, and it can be said that Pingdu is close at hand, and he can only rely on Yu Xiaotian and the Fujian soldiers and horses under his command to hold Pingdu City.

If this Yu Zongbing is not good to serve, then he can only consider himself unlucky, pinching his nose and admitting it, after all, this Pingdu City is recovered, and it has nothing to do with him Mao, if he really doesn't want his subordinates to withdraw from the city, then he Zhao Shantang really has no way to do it, he can only let it go, I just hope that these Fujian generals will not kill all the people in Pingdu City at this time.

But just when he arrived at the west gate of Pingdu City nervously, he looked up and saw a large black spot hanging on the tower of the city gate from a distance, as an old official who has been an official for more than 20 years, how could he not guess what those things are, these black spots must be human heads, his heart suddenly sank, and secretly screamed that it was broken, this Fujian general, in the end, was still killing in Pingdu City.

So he felt even more uneasy, and walked cautiously towards the west gate with five hundred Shandong soldiers who came to guard Pingdu City.

After a while, a cavalry stopped their way, ordered them to dismount and dismount, and were interrogated, and demanded that they declare their identities and show them documents to prove their identities.

This group of Fujian cavalry was well-equipped, all of them looked unmatched, and they also exuded an awe-inspiring murderous aura on their bodies, which frightened these Shandong soldiers to stop obediently and watched Zhao Zhizhou come forward to deal with it.

Zhao Shantang was helpless, looking at these proud soldiers and fierce generals in Fujian, knowing that he couldn't be tough with these soldiers, under this chaotic scene, the civil officials were obviously not as strong as before, although he felt a little insulted, but in desperation, he had to get off the sedan chair and let his slaves take the holy decree to inform these Fujian officers and soldiers of their identities.

When they heard that this group of people was escorting the newly appointed Pingdu Zhizhou to take up their posts, the attitude of these Fujian officers and soldiers immediately improved a lot, and the people led by them immediately stepped forward to greet Zhao Shantang, and said to Zhao Shantang: "Our general has already camped in the north of the city, and has been waiting for Lord Zhao to come!" Now the city has been stabilized by our general's bullets, just waiting for Lord Zhao to enter the city to take over the affairs of the city.

Our general is in charge of military affairs at the moment, and he is handling military affairs in the camp, if Lord Zhao is free, you might as well go to our camp and meet our general! ”

Zhao Shantang looked at these Fujian generals and didn't be too rude to him, so he was somewhat relieved, and he was also a little surprised, this Yu General actually set up a large camp outside the city, and did not let his subordinates and generals be stationed in the city, which made him feel a little surprised.

Hearing this, Chief Soldier Yu himself does not live in the city at the moment, but lives in a large camp outside the city, and is still supervising military affairs, which makes him even more surprised.

Under normal circumstances, most of the generals of the Ming Dynasty are greedy for pleasure, never sit when they can lie down, never stand when they can sit, never ride a horse if they can sit in a sedan chair, never walk if they can ride a horse, never live in the barracks if they can live in the city, and never treat themselves badly if they can be comfortable.

It stands to reason that the accommodation conditions in the city must be much better than those in the military camp, and now there are many large families in the city's official offices and yamen whose houses are empty, and it is definitely much more comfortable to find a place and get a few maidservants to serve them than to live in a tent in the official and military camp.

But I didn't expect that this Yu Zongbing would give up good conditions and live in a big camp outside the city to sit in a big camp, which is really against common sense.
