"Calm down! Be calm! Wu Shigong tried to calm his mind. Don't say anything, Wu Shigong immediately ordered the army to camp on the spot first. With this turtle shell, at least stabilize the morale of those soldiers who are a little flustered because of the unknown situation.

After his big tent was erected, Wu Shigong immediately entered the big tent with all his officers and discussed the next move of his Runing battalion.

said that it was a discussion, but in fact, Wu Shigong was thinking hard at the beginning. And those officers didn't dare to make any noise, for fear of disturbing Wu Shigong's train of thought.

Returning to Henan, this option is certainly impossible to consider. If the current Runing battalion retreats in fear of the enemy without being defeated by the enemy, Wu Shigong still doesn't think that he will die too quickly?

You must know that the Yangzhou Qi family and the Yangzhou salt transport envoy Guan Yin are collecting their own charges and want to provide them to the first assistant Zhou Yanru as a cannonball to fight him. Wu Shigong can't just send his charges over.

Then regardless of the chaos in Shandong, take a detour to Shanhaiguan? After thinking about it again, Wu Shigong also felt that this option was not good. Not to mention that he might encounter the mutinous rebel army along the way, even if he didn't encounter the rebel army, Wu Shigong actually didn't want to rush to Shanhaiguan to fight with the Tartars.

At this time, Wu Shigong found a place where the willows and flowers were bright. If he used the reason of exterminating the rebellious army in Shandong, wouldn't he be able to justifiably avoid going to Liaodong to fight? In any case, the combat effectiveness of this mutinous army is always weaker than that of the Tartars. Therefore, Wu Shigong suddenly had a feeling of being a blessing in disguise.

This made Wu Shigong feel refreshed, and his thinking began to become clear. Now there is only one way to stay in Shandong to exterminate the rebel army.

But the first thing is to judge the strength of the mutinous army. This is simple, after the rebellion of the rebel army, the whole Shandong will be in chaos. You must know that Wu Shigong has already heard that the rebel army first mutined in the northwest region of Shandong, and in just a few days, it has spread to Wu Shigong.

And Wu Shigong's current location is in the southwest of Shandong. Therefore, Wu Shigong judged that the strength of that rebel army was at least not weaker than his own, and the number of people may far exceed his own. He boldly advanced to fight against that chaotic army, and the most popular result was a lose-lose situation.

Then now Wu Shigong's Runing battalion is about to open to a delicate position. That is, it cannot be too far away from the rebellious army, which will show that the Runing battalion is passively avoiding the battle and giving people a handle. He couldn't get too close to that chaotic army, and in case he fell into a melee, Wu Shigong didn't want his Runing battalion to lose strength inexplicably.

Then the most important thing now is to determine the location of the rebellious army. But this question gave Wu Shigong a headache again.

Wu Shigong knew that the rebellious army came from Denglai. But where was Denglai in the Ming Dynasty? Wu Shigong didn't know at all. If it is the current place name, what Jiaodong Peninsula, Yantai, Qingdao or something, Wu Shigong may still know. And now Wu Shigong is simply not able to compare the place names of the Ming Dynasty with the modern place names.

Besides, this rebellious army is only from Denglai, they mutinied on the way to the north, and in which position they mutinied, Wu Shigong still doesn't know.

Wu Shigong now knew that they had mutinied in the northern part of Jinan and Qingzhou provinces. However, there is only one province isolated from Wu Shigong's current place, which is not too far away, if the rebel army faces his direction, then within a few days, the two armies will meet. You must know that at that time, the lame Li Lu crossed the two mansions and fled to Wu Shigong's fortress of Qianhu, and it took only two days.

Then don't think about it, Wu Shigong knows that his officers are waiting for his next order. At this time, it is simply not the time to hesitate. Unlike the fables of life, there is a famous saying in military affairs: it is better to try to act in the wrong direction than to hesitate to act in the right direction.

So Wu Shigong immediately ordered: "Now everyone should immediately go to your own army to make arrangements, so that all the soldiers can eat and rest immediately after setting up the camp." And prepare two servings of dry food and put them in the dry food bag. ”

"At midnight today, the whole army set off, and the night march went straight to Ningyang County. Tomorrow morning, no matter what happens to the county seat of Ningyang, it will attack the county seat and defend the city. I'll talk about it after I've looked around for a while. ”

The county seat of Wu Shiwen's Dangzhi County is Ningyang County, Shandong. Wu Shigong judged that no matter how fast the rebel army moved, it would not be too late to rush to Ningyang County this evening.

And through the conversation with Wu Shiwen, Wu Shigong also knew that the chaotic people who scared Wu Shiwen to abandon the city and flee may not be the chaotic army, but the chaotic people who took advantage of the chaos to make trouble outside Ningyang County. Therefore, Wu Shigong decided to occupy this county seat first and find a foothold for his Runing camp first.

Wu Shigong has no way to do this, in this situation where he doesn't understand the outside world and rumors are flying around, no city will accept Wu Shigong, a passing army who doesn't understand the details. And Wu Shigong's Runing Battalion entered Ningyang County, and his fifth brother Wu Shiwen was the county magistrate there, so the problem of stationing in the country would always be solved. And no matter how strong the camp built by Runing Camp is, it is not as strong as the city wall of Ningyang County.

Besides, Wu Shigong also has a way out of doing this. His Runing battalion used the night to march, in case it encountered that chaotic army, or that rebel army had already occupied Ningyang County, then Wu Shigong's Runing battalion could still retreat by taking advantage of the darkness and would not be entangled by that chaotic army. It can also be seen that Wu Shigong has paid close attention to the benefits of night marching and night battles.

All the officers immediately took the order and left. And this discussion was completely Wu Shigong's one-man show, and the other officers didn't say a word at all.

It can be seen from this, not to mention that Wu Shigong's jihua is also very reasonable, and the main reason is that in the hearts of the officers of the Runing battalion, Wu Shigong's prestige has been erected. This is the confidence that his victories have given to those officers.

The order issued by Wu Shigong now will not happen again when Wu Shigong first left the capital, and those officers did not trust Wu Shigong's military talents.

The next thing is to persuade Wu Shiwen and those official gentry. This matter didn't cost Wu Shigong much at all. With the Ming army of the Runing Battalion to help defend, who wants to leave their hometown and leave the county seat they are familiar with? And on the way to escape, it is not necessarily very safe.

Besides, Wu Shiwen and these officials also have the responsibility of defending the city, and it is always a crime for them to abandon the city and flee. And now return to Ningyang County, just leave in such a short time, and then I will always find some reason to get around.

The military machinery of the Runing battalion began to be fully mobilized under Wu Shigong's orders, and seeing the soldiers of the Runing battalion preparing in an orderly manner, the hearts of Wu Shiwen and these officials and gentry also calmed down.

There is no need to go into detail about eating, resting, and getting up in the middle of the night to march, and Wu Shiwen and these gentry can only get up in the middle of the night and act together with Wu Shigong's Runing battalion. What is weak and sickly, and no one thinks about these situations anymore at this time.

At the time of the rooster's crow, the army drove to Ningyang County. What made Wu Shigong and them strange was that the entire county gate was wide open, and it seemed that because of the escape of the officials, the entire county fell into a state of anarchy last night, and no one even paid attention to such a major event as closing the city gate.

However, Wu Shigong was still very careful, he first sent a small team of cavalry into the county seat to reconnoitre, and reported that the entire county town was dark and quiet. Wu Shigong no longer hesitated, and he immediately ordered the whole army to march into Ningyang County.
