Li Guo and Ling Jingyang looked at each other, and they both saw that they didn't want to divide the troops, but Ling Jingyang still took the lead and said, "General Li, Xuanfu Town is too far away. ”

Li Guo also said: "Henan is farther. ”

Seeing Li Guo's resolute attitude, Ling Jingyang had no choice but to say: "As long as the Great Western Army enters Shanxi and eats the Qing army attacking Yicheng, the Qing army will become lame." ”

"When the Great Western Army enters Shanxi, the strength of our army, the Qing army, and the Ming army will be weakened, and only the Great Western Army is the biggest winner, have you ever thought about it?"

This is what Li Guo is most worried about, the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army are both righteous armies, but they are not close comrades-in-arms, to a certain extent, the two regimes are enemies of life and death.

"What can the Great Western Army do even if it enters Shanxi, it is just a lone army, in Henan, Huguang is the territory of the Qing Army, even if the Great Western Army comes to Shanxi, without our supplies behind it, it will not be able to gain a foothold."

Li Guo's expression was very indifferent, and he said, "Hmph, Ling Jingyang, are you luring the wolf into the room?" ”

"I don't know if the Great Western Army is a wolf, I only know that the Qing Army is more harmful."

Ling Jingyang saw that Li Guo was a little loose, and told him that the Qing army's capture of Yicheng would cause an avalanche of anti-Qing forces, so it was better to unite various forces and expel the Qing army to the outside of the pass, and then the forces of all parties would fight a decisive battle against who would hold the bull's ear, and if this time they successfully rushed to the aid of Henan Province, it would be to strengthen the anti-Qing forces in Jiangbei.

Li Guo finally gave in and asked Ling Jingyang: "Okay, then listen to you, from the junction of Pingyang Mansion and Henan Mansion in Ningwuguan, there are 600 kilometers, that is, 1,200 miles, but it will take more than a month." ”

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the army could advance thirty miles a day, even if it was a very qualified army, and the two armies had to travel forty days for 1,200 miles.

Ling Jingyang was also worried that before the army arrived in Henan Mansion, the Great Western Army had been defeated by the Qing army, and before Li Guo arrived at Ningwu Pass, he had asked Gao Ding's army to escort the artillery unit of Lao Mantou and stationed it in Ninghua County, where the two armies were the vanguard.

Li Guo suggested that he march lightly with the whole army, abandon heavy weapons, and only bring light weapons and dry food, so that he could travel 30 miles in a day and 20 miles at night, and he could reach Henan Mansion in about 20 days.

A lot of things may happen in more than 20 days, the Great Western Army may not be defeated, but Yicheng may be captured by the Qing army, Ling Jingyang also thought that it would take dozens of days to go to Henan, but he was still Zhao Kuo's second, talking about the army on paper, and he didn't think that the feudal army was not iron-footed, in Li Guo's words, it could be regarded as elite if it could be fifty miles a day.

At this time, Li Rufeng stood up and asked Ling Jingyang to fight, he was willing to lead a small number of elite cavalry, one person and three horsemen, to Henan Mansion to inquire about the enemy's situation, Ling Jingyang agreed with Li Rufeng, and asked him to set off immediately after preparing tonight.

Li Rufeng returned to the barracks to select elite cavalry, at this time stationed in Ninghua's Gao Ding Department, suddenly sent back urgent information, there is a Qing army approaching Ninghua, the number of more than 5,000 people, Gao Ding asked Lingdu Governor to send reinforcements.

Gao Ding has more than 1,500 soldiers and horses, and more than 1,000 troops of the old steamed bun artillery battalion, and the two armies can hold on to Ninghua City for a while, but in the long run, the two armies can't hold on for long.

When Ling Jingyang and Li Guo got this information, they immediately felt that Yicheng might be broken by the Qing army, otherwise it would be impossible for the Qing army to go north from Pingyang Mansion to Taiyuan Mansion.

Ling Jingyang immediately asked Li Rufeng not to go to Henan Mansion and lead his troops to Ninghua City, Li Rufeng received a military order in the barracks and went to Ninghua City with cavalry.

Ling Jingyang suddenly looked at Fang Xiaoyan, the Qing army had all hit Ninghua City, why didn't the Special Bureau react at all?

Fang Xiaoyan's face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, and he immediately left the camp and ran towards Ninghua City.

Because of the sudden arrival of the Qing army, Ling Jingyang and Li Guo were forced to give up thousands of miles to aid the Great Western Army of Henan Prefecture, which also gave Ling Jingyang the first time to see the manpower and material resources in the ancient period, which was far less than the future period eight hundred years later.

Li Guo saw that Ling Jingyang gave up galloping to aid the Great Western Army, and he was a little happy in his heart, but the Qing army's sudden attack on Ninghua City made him have to cheer up and destroy the Qing army in front of him.

Ling Jingyang suggested going back to rest tonight, and when the specific information came back tomorrow, Li Guo readily agreed, and returned to the barracks with Gao Yigong and others.

After returning to the barracks, Gao Yigong and Li Guo suggested that they should let a general withdraw to Shaanxi and go to Shaanxi to bring a new army to Shanxi.

There were only more than 6,000 people in the rear battalion, and most of the soldiers still used cold weapons such as spears and spears, and the firearms troops were pitiful.

Gao Yigong slept in the barracks for one night, and after dawn the next day, he took his own soldiers to Xi'an City, Ling Jingyang thought about it all night last night, and felt that he was too naïve, and too muddy, how could there be such an unrealistic strategic idea of galloping thousands of miles to aid the Great Western Army?

After dawn, he received information from the Special Bureau, Fang Xiaoyan returned to the Special Bureau mansion last night and was furious, but there were only three people in the entire Special Bureau, one him, one Wang Qiu, and one Xu Yun, and he couldn't find anyone to be angry if he wanted to get angry.

The soldiers of the Special Bureau were all scattered in various places, and Fang Xiaoyan had no available people, so he had to personally ride a fast horse and rush to Ninghua City, Xu Yun came out of the armory, and saw Fang Xiaoyan hurriedly leaving the city, and also rode a horse and followed behind.

Fang Xiaoyan soon found that someone was following behind, pulled out a pair of bows and crossbows from his waist, deliberately slowed down, and when the people behind came, he suddenly pressed the crossbow against the person opposite, and said, "Report your name?" ”

Xu Yun was very unskilled in riding, and was held against Fang Xiaoyan with a bow and crossbow, which frightened her almost incontinent, and she said to Fang Xiaoyan with some grievances: "Xiaoyan, it's me." ”

Fang Xiaoyan saw Shi Xu Yun at this time, he hurriedly returned the bow and crossbow, and said to Xu Yun: "Sister, why are you here?" ”

Xu Yun is a female streamer, but she really wants to get ahead in the troubled times, she pinned her hopes on her brother Xu Sheng, but Xu Sheng completely fell into a state of martial arts idiot, looking for someone to learn kung fu in the military camp all day long, Xu Yun saw that her brother was not that material, so she had to work harder.

She had just learned to ride a horse, and when Fang Xiaoyan returned to the mansion tonight, she saw that no one was going out alone, and she realized that this was a good opportunity, so she took out a horse from the stable, followed Xiaoyan's steps, and went on a mission with him.

"Xiaoyan, you have a mission tonight, there are not enough people, I'll go with you."

Fang Xiaoyan has an indescribable feeling compared to his own older women, he doesn't want Xu Yun to follow her to the front line, but he also wants to take Xu Yun to the front line, protect her along the way, take care of her, and make her feel that he Fang Xiaoyan is a real man.
