Jin Depei has eaten a trench and grown wise, and he has summarized the reasons for the defeat of the two cities. The first defeat factor is to rush forward in the face of profit. He was not a desperate person in the first place, and this time he attacked the city as a last resort. The anger shown was purely for the sake of morale and for the generals to see.

After conquering Deng She's outer formation and saving some face, his anger naturally disappeared with it. He just jumped in front of the formation, and there was a morale boost, but no further efforts were made. He thought that Dunsher was cunning and cunning. The bloody battle between the two cities made him tremble and tremble; Always be vigilant, for fear that Deng She will take advantage of the night to deceive, don't call the rescue of Meng Shan to fail, but he will earn Tokugawa again.

It turned out to be a strangle: the back formation changed to the front formation, the front formation became the rear formation, and while on alert, it slowly retreated.

This was beyond Deng She's expectations, and if he was allowed to retreat, there would be no point in transferring Zhang She's subordinates at all. Hurriedly beating drums and waving flags, the old pawns of the left car division opened the west gate and lined up to attack the side.

The left car placed a three-fold array. The bow and crossbow are the front, the spear is secondary, and the short soldier is behind. Stepping on the drums, the soldiers drank step by step. After more than a month of training, it is this formation that has been practiced the most, and the soldiers are sophisticated. Bows and crossbows were fired first, spears were lined up, and swords and axes struck armor and shields, and the sound of killing was endless.

Jin Depei sent two broken descendants to meet them. Deng Sheshuai pointed to the flag, and the east side of the formation door opened. Yang Wanhu led hundreds of officers and selected brave soldiers to form a cone, cooperating with the impact of the left car.

In this way, the two red scarves on the east and west sides form a pincer. Like two spears, inserted into the two wings of the Goryeo army. It would be perfect if there was another elite cavalry that would strike from the middle.

It's a pity that most of Lu Qianxi's cavalry was transferred to Wenhua Guo for maneuvering. Deng She only had one or two hundred spares on hand, which was not enough to disturb the rear of the Goryeo.

Jin Depei fought steadily, and successively sent military horses to support the two wings, ensuring that the large army was not disturbed, and continued to retreat. He also called out the elite and hundreds of cavalry, and went diagonally around Yang Wanhu, trying to penetrate behind him.

At this time, the red sun is setting in the west, and the sky at the end of June is full of red clouds. Deng She and Brother Huang Donkey, looking high and far, the changes in the formation of the enemy and the enemy are all visible.

Brother Huang Donkey said: "General, Jin Depei wants to concentrate his forces and defeat the relatively weak Yang Qianhu first. Judging from the size of the Goryeo army that flanked Yang Wanhu in the front and rear, it can be judged that "the tactics adopted by the Goryeo people are the method of dividing the battle into positive and odd: two are divided into positive, one is strange, one is in front and one is in the back." ”

Yang Wanhu is surrounded by more than a thousand beauties, and there is no danger of failure for the time being. However, judging from the overall battle situation, if he could not get out of the encirclement of the Koreans as soon as possible, the so-called lonely hand would affect the offensive of the left chariot on the western side.

In the direction of Ningyuan, Zhang Xiao'er still did not appear.

Deng She was a little anxious, he now had three choices, first: continue to send troops from Yang Wanhu's direction, the Goryeo people surround Yang Wanhu, and then he will go to surround the Goryeo people. Second: to reinforce the left chael and concentrate on crushing the left flank of the Goryeo. Third: Send the remaining old pawns out of the center.

The first method, just like making dumplings, is not the best way to wrap a layer of skin and a layer of skin. It's not good to say, Jin Depei just wants him to do this, and it's easy to be bitten back. The second method is like a scale, one side is high and the other is low, even if Zuo Cheer wins, Yang Wanhu loses, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The third method is better in comparison. The only problem is that there aren't many veterans available. On the bright side, the two sides are evenly matched, but on their own side, most of them are new pawns. It's no problem to stick to the camp, but it's hard to say who will kill the deer in the field.

Deng She looked up at the sky, and decisively decided, passed the order, and ordered Chen Pai to lead the remaining old soldiers out of the camp, and be sure to entangle the rear of Goryeo so that they could not get out.

Brother Huang Donkey shook his head again and again: "General, it's too dangerous." If the Koreans are ruthless, do not retreat, turn around and fight with me, and then pull out the trebuchets and crossbow arrows in the city, it is difficult to say whether they will win or lose. They were defeated, and were covered by cities; Once our army is defeated, the camp is not guaranteed, and the army is defeated, but there is no place to hide! - Have you forgotten that it was the Koreans who lost under the Twin Fortresses that day? Today's situation is very similar to that day, but the comparison of strength has been adjusted up a little. ”

"It's been a long time since I sent a letter to General Zhang. In less than half an hour, General Zhang's army and horses will arrive. The main forces of the Lijun army are all outside the city, and as long as they can be held back, Tokugawa is at their fingertips. How can you give up a great opportunity? Deng She shook his cloak, went down to the watchtower, and personally led more than 1,000 new soldiers to garrison the camp.

Jin Depei keenly sensed Deng She's intentions. Thousands of cautions, thousands of cautions, still fell into his trap! Jin Depei was so anxious, when the twin cities were about to break, the sudden arrival of Tong Doulan and Wen Huaguo gave him a deep impression. He almost didn't have to think about it to be sure, this time, Deng She was 100% still behind! It is imperative that only by crushing the right flank of the Red Turban as soon as possible can the army return to the city safely. The flag was waved, and a steady stream of soldiers were transferred to the right.

There was a cannon shot in the Red Turban Battalion, and the three-way drum was finished. The main gate slowly opened, and more than 1,000 old soldiers lined up to leave the camp.

There is a team of every 100 people, and the most elite team is at the front. After that, two teams were lined up in each row, each with a gap of 10 paces. Each team advanced fifty paces and stopped. More than a dozen trumpeters, carrying the horns, stood behind the formation, and every time the horn sounded, the soldiers of each team stood upright on the spot, shouting, raising their thorns to warm up, and at the same time adjusting the distance between the front and the back, the left and right.

Two horns sounded, and he advanced a hundred paces, and he was only forty paces away from the enemy. More than 200 cavalrymen, after galloping into battle, followed the command of the military flag, maneuvered from one side, each time also advanced fifty paces, the guns were flattened, and while advancing, they shouted loudly.

This formation, Deng She learned from ancient books. In the past, I saw Guan Duo use it in battle, and the effect was good. Just like Jin Depei's dichotomy is positive, and one technique is strange, this array is also used for both positive and strange. React accordingly to changes in the enemy.

Jin Depei is a general, full of military books, at a glance; He took his own soldiers to suppress the soldiers who were in turmoil due to the approach of the red scarf, and steadily set up a defensive line, insisting that the enemy would not move, and I would not move.

In the Red Turban Camp, the drums sounded again. Majestic and exciting. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the faces of every soldier were heavy and excited. Guns, knives and axes reflected the cold light of the snow, which smeared a trace of cool air on this warm summer twilight.

More than 200 cavalry suddenly moved, shouting to speed up, and the hundred households leading the troops looked back and raised their swords, and shouted hoarsely: "Flying earth!" Two hundred people responded with a wild shout: "Chase the enemy!" ”

In the infantry formation, a dense rain of arrows was shot at the Koreans. The Red Turban Cavalry turned into a positive with a strange turn, and under the encouragement of the drums, they were the first to kill. The horse's hooves flew and scattered dust all over the sky. The Goryeo soldier crouched down in the front row and leaned on his gun to stop him. The axemen in the back row, whipped by Kim Dep, rolled forward and tried to cut the legs of the speeding cavalry.

Tong Doulan is skilled in riding and shooting, and the Jurchens have their own set of tactics. After he came, Deng She consulted many times, and what he learned was used in the training of cavalry in peacetime, which benefited him a lot. More than 200 cavalry did not go directly to shake the formation, whistled, and galloped diagonally. Suddenly, he shoots an arrow with a bow, and he walks away with one blow; Suddenly, the point set, and attack all the way.

Jin Depei transferred all the cavalry under his command to Yang Wanhu, and for a while, he was unable to deal with it. The fighting spirit of the Korean people is not high. After a moment's effort, the front was a mess. Many of them were shot by sharp arrows, screaming and crying.

Deng She looked at Yang Wanhu and looked at it for a while. In the end, he was brave, under the encirclement and attack of superior enemies, he was still able to shrink the defensive line, more than 200 people, and it was like attacking Shuangcheng, many of them took off their armor and killed the enemy shirtless.

"This is the warrior of our army!" Dunshe's blood boiled. No matter how knowledgeable he is in front of Hong Jixun and others on weekdays, he has been fighting on the battlefield for ten years, and the factor of martial arts and courage has long been buried deep in his body.

"Flag come!" As soon as he stretched out his hand, one of his brother's team took out a small cyan flag from his waist, put pen and ink in his pocket, and handed it over. In this fierce battle of ten thousand armies, Deng Sheti wrote three big characters on the small flag: Yang Ziqi. The font is tense and murderous. Handed back, "Drumming, passing the flag." ”

The specially selected flag bearer, holding high the small flag, turned over and got on the horse. Rushed out of the camp, guarded by four or five people, smashed into the right flank, and shouted all the way: "Tens of thousands of generals order: Yang Wanhu kills the enemy, has meritorious, and rewards the flag." ”

This is an ancient system that Deng She painstakingly selected when he changed the military system, and it was dedicated to coming to the battlefield to reward merit. Whoever is rewarded will have his surname written. It was Yang Ziqi who gave Yang Wanhu; If you give it to the left car, it is the left flag. After the war, different prizes were given depending on the color of the flag.

The reason for using the ancient system is that the medal system is not adopted for the time being. First, it has a blueprint, which is not abrupt and easy to accept; Second, if the flag is adopted, it can be awarded on the spot, which is conducive to motivating morale.

Yang Wanhu laughed and took the flag. He was shirtless and had nowhere to put it, and inserted it in a bun. The green flag on the head, the half-body embroidery, the dancing axe, like a tiger, people everywhere, blood splashed five steps. There were hundreds of people in the department, and the morale was really boosted.

Dunshe put his mind down and focused on the positive. In order to stabilize his position, Jin Depei repeatedly sent archers from the rear to suppress the cavalry assault of the red turbans. By now, he had given up the idea of retreating back to the city, and he couldn't retreat if he wanted to. More than 6,000 enemy soldiers slowly mixed and glued together.

Compared with the previous battles, this was the first time that Deng She tried to use the dignified formation to fight the enemy in the field, and he was inevitably nervous, holding the hilt of his sword tightly, he carefully studied the formation of the Koreans, and felt that the time was ripe. With a wave of his hand, the handsome flag waved.

The drums changed their tune; The horn was low and humming. The foot pawn becomes strange, one step and one drink, two steps and one kill. Began to move forward slowly. The cavalry abruptly broke away from the front line, retreated, and changed to patrol the flanks of the foot soldiers, without losing protection.

As soon as the cavalry retreated, the front line of the Koreans also retreated. Revealing the camp of foot soldiers that had already been laid out behind him. The formation of the archers in the front row is sparse and sparse: sparse is sparse; The shield bearer and spearman in the back row are dense and solid: dense is solid.

The foot soldiers killed the enemy in battle, did not seek the speed of the cavalry, did not highlight the personal bravery, and emphasized discipline. A total of 10,000 people are like one person, Shi Sanjun is like an arm, and he advances when he hears the drums, and he retreats when he sings gold, waving left and left, and right and right.

The commander of the ten was in the array, and kept drinking and restraining him, keeping a distance of ten paces between the front and back. The centurion stared closely at the Thousand Household Flag in the center, adjusting the positions of each team according to the flag. Qianhu Chen Pai kept his eyes on the formation of the Koreans, looking for their weak points.

Coach Deng She watched the two battles of the enemy and paid attention to the overall situation. Observe whether the enemy has any strange soldiers lurking, and observe whether there are any omissions in your own army. The soft warm wind blows in the face, bringing the smell of blood on the battlefield for more than ten miles, mixed with the breath of fields and mountains and forests, and the sound of killing fills the ears, which is strange and exciting.

The distance between the two armies is getting closer. The archers shot two arrows and retreated to their rear. The drums and trumpets of the Red Turbans and the Koreans became loud and high, and the soldiers shouted in different languages, increased their speed, and rushed towards each other.

Brother Huang Donkey's eyes widened, and his fist slammed down: "!" ”

"Cavalry! Suddenly. ”

The infantry on both sides clashed head-on, and the Red Turban cavalry gathered from the scattered, shouting and flanking into the line of the Koreans. At this time, it was impossible to tell which of the cavalry and the foot soldiers was strange and which was right. Positive is also strange, and strange is also positive; Positive can be turned into strange at any time, and strange can be turned into positive at any time.

Jin Depei did his best to make up for the gap caused by the Red Turban cavalry's charge. Finally, he couldn't resist it anymore, and transferred back the hundreds of cavalry surrounding Yang Wanhu on the right flank, trying to change direction, learn the tactics of the red scarf, and also attack the flank of the red turban foot soldiers in the front.

"Trebuchets, crossbow arrows, strike!"

In the barracks, trebuchets, crossbow arrows, and fire guns were fired again and again, blocking the advance of the Goryeo cavalry. Jin Depei slowly adjusted the formation, Chen Paizi was inexperienced after all, and was attracted by him to deviate from the direction. Once again, the Goryeo cavalry changed the direction of their attack, shouting, braving arrows, and charging at the position vacated by Chen's pai.

Chen Paizi found his own loopholes. Just because you find a problem doesn't mean you can solve it. If this Goryeo cavalry were to rush in front of him, his flanks would not be protected. If the flanks are chaotic, the formation will be scattered; As soon as the formation is dispersed, the soldiers will be defeated.

With a few hundred Goryeo cavalry missing, Yang Wanhu on the right flank became more and more courageous, and gradually gained the upper hand from the bottom. The left chariot on the left flank has always been unhurried, according to Deng She's military orders, with the purpose of pestering the enemy; In a hurry, he was unable to support Chen Pai at all. And the more than 200 cavalry, separated by a line of thousands of people, are beyond the reach of the whip.

Deng She made a decisive decision, turned around, and said to Brother Huang Donkey: "The responsibility of guarding the camp will be handed over to the pacification for the time being." General Chen's Chinese army is in danger, and he will go to save him personally. ”

The new soldiers could not be brought, only 200 personal soldiers and more than 60 elder brothers, half cavalry, half foot soldiers, opened the camp gate, and swept out. Bi Qianniu, the captain of his brother's team, could not ride a horse, but he held a handsome flag, galloped on his legs, and firmly followed behind Deng Shema.

A round sun, most of them sink into the bottom of the mountain; A hook moon in the east, cool and cool hangs in the sky. Deng She looked at the sky and said to everyone: "The beauty offensive is tired, and my reinforcements will arrive." Brothers, Jin Depei is only a defeated general, who will compete with me to see who can cut the flag first! ”

As soon as he came out of the battle, Jin Depei saw from afar that the shame of the last defeat came to his heart, and he shouted and asked: "The head of the red thief is in battle, and he can't do it!" My Tokugawa support is coming out, who can take this Ah'er's head for me? ”

Three or four Goryeo generals marched forward to urge the horses, led two or three hundred men, swept through the front line, and divided into two roads with the hundreds of cavalry attacking the flank of Chenpai, and took Deng She.

Deng She's ordered the cavalry to dismount and form a formation with the foot soldiers. The outer circle is divided into two layers, one layer is the shield, the knife and axe hand close to the slash, the second layer is the spear far stab; He led more than 20 people, divided into four groups, made a square of four corners, and each took care of a corner.

The combat effectiveness of the personal soldiers and the elder brother team was second to none in the whole army, and they used inferior troops to resist the attack of the five or six hundred Li army.

At this time, from the perspective of Brother Huang Donkey, the entire battlefield has completely fallen into chaos. Generally speaking, it is divided into three fronts: left, right, and center; Carefully divided, only the middle of the battle line, can be divided into a small main force of Chen Paizi, a small left wing of the Red Turban Cavalry, and a small right wing of Deng She.

Trebuchets and crossbow bolts stopped firing to prevent them from hitting their own people. Although there are more than 1,000 new soldiers in the red scarf camp, this is to protect the back road, and the combat effectiveness is not strong.

After the scouts galloped out of the camp, they went to determine the location of Zhang Yi'er's army and urged them to speed up the march.

From the beginning of the war to the present, Deng She no longer worries that his army will be defeated, he is completely sure that he can retreat with his whole body, and even defeat the enemy. However, his purpose was not there, he wanted Tokugawa. Therefore, if Zhang Ji'er is not there, he has to keep sticking, and the left car on the left wing will not be able to exert force.

The shields worn by his subordinates were the best in the army. Sturdy and tall. If you put it on the ground, you can block most of your body. The shield is equipped with a mechanism that can shoot arrows and bayonet spears from the middle. Dozens of shields surrounded it like a small barracks.

The Koreans were shocked for a long time, but there was no effect at all. One of the generals was so angry that he gathered up four or five guns, put them together, and drove his horse into it. His strength was not small, the shield was not broken, and the pro-soldier who supported the shield screamed, spit out blood, let go of his hand, and fell to the ground. The soldiers behind him hurriedly rushed up and took over the shield.

The man spun around and roared and rushed again. He had heavy armor and a protective skirt right away, and arrows and spears stabbed him miss. The two soldiers of the elder brother's team lifted their shields off the ground slightly, and slammed out, and in spite of their bodies, one of them rolled his knife and sharpened the horse's legs; One hunched up and stabbed the horse in the neck with a spear.

The general did not expect it, and he couldn't cover it up, and avoided the spear, and the knife that rolled on the ground could not dodge, and the horse's leg was suddenly broken. The war horse screamed and neighed, unable to restrain its feet, and stepped on the ground with its hind legs. The armor on the swordman's chest was dented, and he couldn't see it alive. The general fell off his horse, and the pawn behind him hurriedly rushed up, and Deng She's bow and arrow were fired in unison.

The gunner threw his spear and dragged the Goryeo general back into the formation. Hold him down, peel off his armor, and divide his sword and spear into several sections.

In the chaos of the army, one life for another. The bravery of the red scarf forced the Koreans to take a step back. The dead swordsman, whom Deng She recognized, and the gunman were a pair of brothers, defending the twin cities and making a lot of contributions. was supposed to wait for the new army to be trained, and asked his brother to go to any hundred households. Unexpectedly, he died here.

People treat me with sincerity, how can I not treat others with sincerity? He was thrilled and excited. Turning to look at the people around him, the gunman knelt on the ground: "The general is kind to my generation like a son and nephew, and I want to die for the general!" Die without complaint. ”

"Get up! Give the flag. Stained with the blood of General Lijun on the spot, Deng She used his finger as a pen to write the person's surname and give a small flag. He didn't get on the horse, he pointed his gun at the corpse of the knife hand, and said, "Today, I have a brother dead!" My brother died for me, and how can I bear my brother's body to fall into the hands of the enemy? ”

As soon as the words came out, the gunman burst into tears. Deng She ordered the shield formation to be opened, and seven or eight people followed him to fight out of the formation, invincible. The soldiers in the formation shouted in unison: "General! Checkmate! ”

In the barracks, the drums beat loudly. Deng She looked back, Brother Huang Donkey didn't know when to run up to the watchtower, waving the flag, and Zhang Xiao'er arrived.

As soon as Zhang Yi'er arrived, it was like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

Zuo Che'er was the first to exert his strength, and more than a thousand old soldiers who crawled out of the mountain of corpses in the sea of blood and corpses completely defeated the left flank of the Koreans in half an hour. The left flank was defeated, and the rout dispersed into the Goryeo Chinese army, which led to the instability of the center. The more than 1,000 new soldiers in the camp were clamoring to fight, they couldn't fight a tough battle, and it was still okay to wave the flag and cheer and fight a good fight.

Kim Depei couldn't suppress it, the Chinese army was in chaos, and the chain reaction was that the right wing of the Goryeo people suddenly collapsed. Deng She got out of the trap and did not return to the camp, but took advantage of the situation to fight back, and the three armies counterattacked together. Suppressed so much that Jin Depei couldn't walk half a step.

Zhang Ji'er attacked from one side, avoided the melee, bypassed the hills, and went straight to the foot of Tokugawa Castle. He also disguised the front army as the defeated army of Goryeo, and the Tokugawa defenders were leaderless, unprepared, undistinguishable, and the city gate was opened. Soon after nightfall, Tokugawa broke.

The Koreans have no way to survive and no way back. Seeing that the situation was not good, Jin Depei abandoned most of them, took a few hundred people with him, bypassed the Tokugawa River far away, and fled to the Yuanchuan River in the west. As soon as he ran, there was no leader, and the remaining rout surrendered one by one. The Red Turbans took 1,5600 prisoners and killed more than 900. There were more than 500 casualties on their side, most of whom were new soldiers.

None of the captives were killed, disarmed, and sent military horses to escort them back to the twin cities. Together with the more than 2,000 captives last time, 1,000 elite people were selected, an army was set up, and the meritorious Li and Han soldiers among the old soldiers were transferred to serve as officers. The others were made into a battalion and cultivated the military fields. In the army of northern Goryeo, there were many untouchables, and the Tokugawa captives were no exception.

He sent off his captives, and then sprinkled his rangers, and went fifty miles to the west. Outside the city, bury the dead and comfort the wounded. The body of the knife hand was snatched back, and after the burial and memorial, Deng She entered the city.

Tokugawa is not small, it is located in the interior, and it is much more prosperous than the military town of Twin Castles. It's just that the streets are dark at this time, and there are no lights in the city. Many of the red scarves that broke the city earlier were hand-in-hand, and most of the shops along the street were empty. Many homes were wide open and looted. When I looked closer, the Goryeo people who had survived the catastrophe cowered in horror in the corners of the wall, and from time to time they heard whispered sobs.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives. One of the reasons why Deng She deliberately entered the city a little later was to give the army that broke the city a little time to loot.

As far as his heart is concerned, of course he thinks that his subordinates can strictly abide by military discipline, and they can attack and break the city without committing any crimes. However, this is easier said than done. Counting the rebels all over the world, there is not a single one who can do this.

Not to mention that the market is not easy, if you can only grab things and not kill people, it is considered good. In the past, Deng She was in the army, and he had heard that he even used the people as food and people as animals.

The most famous ones are the two poisons in Jiangnan. A Yangzhou Zhang Mingjian, known as "a piece of tile", the army is poor and lacks food, and eats all the people of Yangzhou; A Miao chieftain Yang Wan, built a city for several miles, hiding the jade silk of his children who had been taken captive. It is conceivable that in this city, he is the only monarch who is supreme, and he can play as he wants. How are the people, and the people, like beasts in this city?

If Zhang Mingjian is still a rebel, Yang Wanzhi is a typical example of the local armed forces of Mengyuan. As for the regular army of Mengyuan, a few years ago, Tokhtar captured Xuzhou and slaughtered a city.

In this world, officials are also thieves, and thieves are also thieves. The unarmed Qianli grass people are really like weeds, no matter who it falls into, they can cut it if they want to, and they can cut it if they want to. Heaven is a lifeless road, heaven and earth are like a tripod, the people are meat, boiled and steamed, and there is a dead end.

Deng She quietly stood under the city and was full of emotion. The night was dark, the torches were bright, and thousands of men and horses rushed into the Tokugawa.

There is no rest for a night, order is straightened out, defenses are arranged, men and horses are sent to guard the city, patrol the night, pacify the people, and discipline is straightened out, and it is strictly forbidden to disturb the people again.

The soldiers arrested the local officials and wealthy families, and brought them to the front of the hall in an endless stream. The old one is taken out, and if the officials do not descend, they will be beheaded for public display; Those who are willing to surrender will be sent to Shuangcheng for custody, domesticated for a while, and decide whether to give it to the official or not depending on the situation.

The big families in Tokugawa were all Koreans, and there were no Han or Bohai people. According to the ratio of killing nine and leaving one, the two or three most obedient and weak are selected, set as benchmarks, appointed to official positions, and take protons. All the others were confiscated from the fields and family property, and some were rewarded to meritorious soldiers, and some were retained as military fields. The men in the family are slaves; If a woman is good-looking, she will be rewarded with meritorious servants, and the rest will go down to the prostitution.

Many of the Tokugawa landlords had migrated to the safer safety of Pyongyang or the south. Dunshe announced that all the fields they had left behind would be confiscated and distributed to the untouchables and poor in the city, and that they would be given land deeds.

inspected the treasury, confiscated the wealthy, got a lot of grain, grass, money and silver, and transported them all back to Shuangcheng on the bus. Nearly 100 craftsmen of all kinds were obtained, and they were filled into the craftsman camp.

It took two days in a row to make the arrangement. In the meantime, the army of Yuanchuan came with eight or nine hundred people. Without waiting for the city to attack, he took the initiative to retreat. Tanma found out that Valechuan sent several messengers to Pyongyang to deliver the letter in successive days.

In the more than a month since the defeat of Qing Qianxing, Deng She has not been idle. Taking advantage of the fact that the Haguang Xiubu is all Koreans, he sent a lot of horses and meticulous work, and Pyongyang's reality was not to mention ten percent, at least seven or eight percent.

Pyongyang has recruited a lot of new soldiers, but it lacks food and salaries, and does not have the strength to attack in a big way, unless it is desperate. However, since he has won the Tokugawa, regardless of whether Pyongyang comes to attack or not, he will rush to its strategic position as the gateway to the northern mountains, and would rather give it to Guan Duo as a big gift, cheaper for his own family, and not give it up easily.

If you don't give up, you need to have a large army to defend it. Zhang Ji'er did a good job in Ningyuan, and simply reappointed him as the Tokugawa Thousand Households Mansion. replenished its troops, and allocated a thousand men to it; and left Chen Pai's 1,000 new soldiers, a total of 3,000 people.

Tokugawa is in the west, Ningyuan is in the east, the two places are thirty or forty miles apart, echoing back and forth, as long as the Goryeo people do not gather a large army, it is enough to ensure the safety of the two cities.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and time passes without realizing it in the busy. In the blink of an eye, we entered July. Wenhua Guoshun successfully completed the set goal, and his good news only arrived, and Hong Jixun's messengers followed.

"What's going on in the city?" Counting the days, it has been more than 20 days since I was out of the twin cities, which has long exceeded the scheduled plan. Hong Jixun didn't urge, and suddenly sent a messenger, Deng She couldn't help muttering.

The messenger didn't know anything: "Mr. Hong only said, please ask the general to hurry back to the city." ”

Before he could finish speaking, another messenger came. Still don't know, Hong Jixun is not a startled person, Deng She's first thought was not the invasion of the Koreans, but the problem with Yao Haogu. Asked: "Is there anything unusual about Mr. Yao?" "Messengers are close to people and don't have to beat around the bush.

The second messenger shook his head: "It's no different, it's just that I often hear Mr. Hong say in private that he pretends to be crazy and stupid, and scolds him for being an old horseman." "Can make the arrogant Hong Jixun open his mouth to scold", which shows how fierce the contradiction between Yao Haogu and him is these days.

Deng She was a little worried, he thought: "Isn't it that Hong Jixun can't fight Yao Haogu, and the situation in the twin cities is unstable?" "I couldn't sit still, so I urgently summoned Zhang Gang and Chen Paizi to make it clear, and told them that if there was a Pyongyang army, they should not go out of the city to fight, and just wait for reinforcements.

When gathering the headquarters and preparing to leave the city, Hong Jixun's third messenger arrived.

In less than half a day, three urgings. After several wars, Deng She still realized the truth that even if Mount Tai could not collapse and his color remained unchanged, and he was slow in an emergency. He suppressed his mind and asked, "Did Mr. Hong order you directly to send you here?" ”

The three messengers nodded yes.

"What was Mr. Hong's expression at that time?"
