Originally, Chen Wang thought that Sun Chuanting convened everyone to discuss the matter because of the war in Shandong Province, and he was ready to pull out the camp and allocate funds to help Jinan.

But the military order he got was to evacuate Julu and transfer to Texas.

If you really want to rescue Jinan, you should go southeast through the Qinghe River and Wucheng line, cross the plains, and enter Yucheng instead of Dezhou.

Yucheng is a hundred miles northwest of Jinan Prefecture, which can be used as a stronghold, and the accumulation of troops in it can give the besieging Qing army a certain amount of pressure.

Although Dezhou belongs to Jinan Prefecture in Shandong Province, Dezhou is located in the northwesternmost part of Jinan, next to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, more than 300 miles away.

Previously, Sun Chuanting summoned Cao Wenzhao and him several times, talking about how to rescue Jinan, and the name Dezhou did not appear in all the arrangements and arrangements.

But now, Sun Chuanting's order is to transfer to Texas.

However, even if he was puzzled, Chen Wang did not ask questions or raise any objections at this time, and his face did not change much.

While Sun Chuanting was still arranging and arranging the tasks of each battalion, Chen Wang also raised his eyes to look at the people in the tent.

Chen Wang noticed that Sun Chuanting's expression was gloomy, obviously completely different from the previous few days, and there must have been something wrong with this arrangement.

The group of Xuanda generals who were sitting opposite, Hu Dawei's expression was gloomy, his eyebrows were lowered, he couldn't see his eyes, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

In the first battle of Jiazhuang, the Qing army broke through the formation from Nanying, and the Shanxi army under the command of Hu Dawei lost more than 1,200 people, approaching the death rate of 40%.

More than 100 people died of serious injuries in these days, and there were even more losers in the army.

In the text issued by the Ministry of War, the name of the Hudawei Department was written in the camps and towns where Zhending and Baoding were withdrawn to recuperate.

In addition to the Hu Dawei Division, the Datong soldiers under Du Wenhuan were also selected to be transferred back to the division, and the death of the main general had a huge impact on the morale of the battalion.

Du Wenhuan has a very high prestige in the border town army, and this time, as the general soldier of Datong, he was killed in Jiazhuang, which caused the towns to shake.

Datong Town lost almost all the elite of the army in the battle of Jiazhuang, Du Wenhuan led the family to rescue Lu Xiangsheng, and entered the battle of 300 people, and only 23 people were left standing when they left the battle.

Next to Hu Dawei, sitting is Yang Guozhu.

Yang Guozhu's expression was cold, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, nor his thoughts.

In the first battle of Jiazhuang, the smallest loss was the Xuanfu soldiers under Yang Guozhu, but their casualties were close to 20%.

However, it still has a certain combat power, but the text of the military department still transferred it back to Baoding.

Sitting under the seat of Hu Dawei is a middle-aged military general with a short beard and a yellow face and thick eyebrows.

The middle-aged military general Liu Qin, the deputy commander of the left battalion under Lu Xiangsheng, was previously transferred to another place to intercept and harass the Qing army.

Three days after the Battle of Jiazhuang, Liu Qin led his troops back to Jiazhuang.

Chen Wang looked at Liu Qin, who was full of tiredness and dust, and his heart was full of thoughts.

He remembered Liu Qin's name, Liu Qin's name left a name in the history books, although it was only a thin name, but it still left a name after all.

The reason why Liu Qin left his name was not because of his great achievements, nor because he was brave and good at fighting.

Historically, on the third day of the Battle of Jiazhuang, Liu Qin risked being attacked by the Qing army and led his troops to Jiazhuang after the battle.

If there is no Liu Qin, I am afraid that Lu Xiangsheng will be like Sun Chuanting in the battle of Tongguan later, with no bones and no whereabouts, so that he will not even have a posthumous gift.

However, even if there is a body, it is confirmed that he died in Jiazhuang, but Lu Xiangsheng in history, until Yang Sichang's death, Emperor Chongzhen posthumously presented Lu Xiangsheng with the prince and young master, the military department Shangshu, and gave a funeral.

Chongzhen is cool and thin, which can be seen.

"All battalions march according to regulations, and immediately return to the camp to arrange affairs and return to the account."

Sun Chuanting arranged the order and responsibilities of the marching of each battalion, and after dropping a sentence of retreat, he left the tent of the Chinese army directly.

Chen Wang stood up with everyone, bowed and saluted, and sent Sun Chuanting out of the camp.

After Sun Chuanting came out of the account, the tent only regained a little popularity at this time, and there was also the sound of ear-to-ear exchanges.

Chen Wang was not in a hurry to pay the bill, and after Sun Chuanting issued the account, Cao Wenzhao had already signaled to him.

He Renlong and Cao Bianjiao didn't move, Chen Wang and Cao Bianjiao stood together, He Renlong and Cao Wenzhao stood together, both of them didn't look good, and exchanged something in a low voice from time to time.

Chen Wang was still a little far away from the two of them, and he didn't hear what he was talking about.

Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong didn't talk for long, and quickly broke away and walked over.

And at this moment, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei also broke away from the queue of Xuanda generals and walked towards this side.

Cao Wenzhao's eyes moved slightly, stopped what he wanted to say, and turned his eyes to look at Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei.

Yang Guozhu was wearing a light armor, his face was full of tiredness, he stepped forward, barely squeezed out a slight smile, and arched his hand.

"Today's farewell, I don't know when I will be able to see you again, and I will remember the grace of help."

Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu are the same, his voice is much thicker than Yang Guozhu's.

"I can't say anything pretty, if there is a place where I can use my tiger power in the future, you can just ask."

Hu Dawei clenched his fists, his eyes finally fell on Chen Wang's body, and he arched his hand again.

"Mr. Chen, thank you."

Seeing Hu Dawei's movements, Chen Wang also hugged his fists and saluted back.

The reason why Hu Dawei thanked him alone was actually because of the battle of Jiazhuang, and Chen Wang led the armored cavalry to rescue him.

In the first battle of Jiazhuang, the battalions of the Shaanxi Army suffered little damage, because the Qing army suffered a lot of damage at that time, and chose to avoid the battle.

The place where the greatest loss occurred was in the Hanzhong battalion under Chen Wang's command, and the cavalry suffered great losses in the gun array of the frontal assault infantry, with a total loss of more than 100 people.

Hu Dawei and others saw everything clearly in the formation, how to rush into the formation, the situation when they rushed into the formation, and the results after the formation, all of which were in full view.

After the war, Hu Dawei came over to thank him as soon as possible, and also transferred hundreds of war horses from his own army to Chen Wang's hands.

"The two chief soldiers are serious, I am equivalent to the imperial court battalion soldiers, so naturally I should watch and help each other, and it is my duty to rush to help."

Cao Wenzhao stepped forward and held up Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu, who were saluting, and said warmly.

"The military department has been writing for two days, and today's military order is issued again, we can't wait for a long time, and the camp will be pulled out tomorrow, and the Xianhui battalion needs to rectify military affairs, notify the soldiers, and leave first."

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei didn't continue to say more, what they had to say had already been said a few days ago, and they left immediately.

Looking at the backs of Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei leaving the tent, Chen Wang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

What Cao Wenzhao said, as both battalion soldiers, it is indeed their duty to help each other and gallop to help, and logically speaking, the same camp should support each other.

But in fact, in this year, this situation, most people are hanging high on their own business, watching from the wall, and it is already rare if they do not flee the battlefield in advance, where will there be a few soldiers and horses galloping to help.

For example, the Guanning Army, which was originally stationed in Weixian and Jize areas, was in the vicinity of Jiazhuang, and as soon as the battle of Jiazhuang began, they actually ran hundreds of miles away to Linqing.

With the departure of Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei, all the generals of the Xuanda Army also left the camp, and the other generals of the Shaanxi Army also left one after another.

Only Chen Wang, Cao Wenzhao, He Renlong, and Cao Bianjiao were left in the Chinese army tent.

"Uncle, the military gate ordered to go to Texas, but he didn't want to care about the war in Shandong?"

Cao Bianjiao took a step forward and asked with a frown.

Compared with a few years ago, Cao Bianjiao is much more stable, if it was a few years ago, I am afraid he would have already asked a question.

Cao Wenzhao did not rush to answer, but sat down again and beckoned at the same time.

Chen Wang understood for the first time, and sat down with He Renlong, Cao Bianjiao frowned, and sat down last.

"It's not that I don't want to manage it, but I can't manage it if I want to."

Cao Wenzhao's expression was serious, and he slowly shook his head.

"The name of the imperial court to the superintendent is big, and the governor of each town is the king of soldiers and horses, and he is given a sword to supervise the affairs of the king."

"But in fact, in addition to the standard battalion, only our four battalions of soldiers and horses can really be mobilized."

Cao Wenzhao glanced to the north and said helplessly.

"It's called the Governor, but in fact there are no soldiers to oversee at all."

Although the Xuanda army suffered heavy losses, it could not be regarded as completely without combat power, and now that Jinan was in an emergency, the imperial court transferred Yang Guozhu, Liu Qin and other troops who still had combat power back to Baoning, which was really determined.

The underlying meaning of this is obvious, that is, the reluctance to break out a major war with the Qing army again.

Chen Xinjia's subordinates could not move, and Changping was not only where the imperial mausoleum was located, but also the geographical location was quite important.

Hong Chengchou led the army into the guard, and the north was very empty at this time because of the continuous transfer of troops to the south, and Hong Chengchou led the army to fill the vacancy, so naturally there were no troops to adjust.

Almost all the soldiers and horses in the rest of the towns in Beizhili were under the command of Gao Qiqian.

The Qinwang army that came to the aid of Henan and other places in the south has not yet arrived in Shandong.

The rebellion of the Liukou in the Guannai has not been completely quelled, and there are still many peasant troops entrenched in Huguang, Henan and other places, so the northern reinforcements are extremely limited, and the marching speed is quite slow.

"In addition to having no soldiers to supervise, there are now inspectors above the superintendent, Your Majesty ordered Liu Shoufu to go south to Baoding, Zhending as an inspector, to manage the army of the town Qinwang, the reason why the Xuan army was transferred to Baoding Mansion, which also has the handwriting of our Shoufu."

Chen Wang's brows furrowed slightly, he remembered Liu Yuliang's person.

Soon after the Qing soldiers entered the army, Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet at the time, took the initiative to ask Ying and was willing to go to the front line to supervise the military situation.

Because of the continuous rumors of Lu Xiangsheng, Emperor Chongzhen, who had long been dissatisfied with Lu Xiangsheng, immediately ordered Lu Xiangsheng to be dismissed from his post and investigated, and Liu Yuliang replaced him as the governor of the world.

However, Chongzhen's idea was still dispelled by Yang Sichang, and it was taboo to change the commander of the army, Yang Sichang advocated that Lu Xiangsheng should still be the governor of the military, and Liu Yuliang could go to supervise the military situation.

Yang Sichang's idea at that time was probably to want Liu Yuliang to suppress Lu Xiangsheng as the first assistant of the cabinet, so that he could not fight a decisive battle with the Qing army.

But as soon as Liu Yuliang arrived in Baoding, he heard the news of Lu Xiangsheng's death, and then it was over.

Soon after, Liu Yuliang was attacked because of his ineffectiveness in supervision, so he was removed from the position and only served as the first assistant for eight months, and then Xue Guoguan was the first assistant.

And his successor, Xue Guoguan has been longer than him, and has been in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet for one year and two months.

It's just that Xue Guoguan's fate is much more bleak than Liu Yuliang's.

But that's all for another time.

Liu Yuliang is afraid that he has the first assistant, but he does not have the right to be the first assistant.

Now in the imperial court, the most powerful person is undoubtedly Yang Sichang, who is deeply trusted by Chongzhen.

"The Guanning army was defeated and the Qing turtle could not retreat, and sat back and watched Jiannu advance eastward into Jinan Mansion."

Cao Wenzhao sighed and said in a condensed voice.

"Comprehensive night does not receive reports, there are a total of 60,000 soldiers around Jinan Mansion, and our army is now only 15,000 in total, independently against the Qing army, and the field confrontation is undoubtedly sinking into the fire and killing itself."

"So, this, could it be that we just do nothing?"

Cao Bianjiao's expression changed, Rao was like this, and he was a little unacceptable.

Cao Wenzhao raised his hand, stopped Cao Bianjiao's words, and swept his gaze over the faces of Chen Wang and He Renlong, and then spoke.

"The two blue flags of Jiannu turned south from Dezhou, Hejian Province, and the soldiers in Dezhou were afraid of Jiannu, although they did not dare to rush south to help."

"But because of our previous message, the east and west temporarily mobilized a group of battalions to enter Jinan, and they should be able to hold out for a ......."

"There are many reasons to go to Texas, and the most important ones are clear to you."

Chen Wang's heart was slightly cold, he naturally knew what the reason was-grain and grass.

Along the way, they didn't get much grain and grass at all, and the reason why they only pulled out the camp now was because the grain and grass arrived yesterday, and they had been starving in Jiazhuang for two or three days.

Rushing all the way from Zhending Mansion to help, there were only four days of military rations left in the army at that time, and when they arrived at Jiazhuang, the whole army was actually out of food.

During this time, they also ate the food donated to the Xuan army by Yao Dongzhao in Jiazhuang at that time, as well as some military rations brought by Liu Kai to survive.

More than 700 stone of grain, more than 20,000 soldiers, and nearly 10,000 mules and horses were simply not enough.

Yesterday, with the announcement and the dispatch of the military department, more than 2,000 stone of grain were transported, and some of them were distributed in each battalion, which was barely enough for the army.

The Qing army attacked Jinan, and the best route for galloping to the south was indeed to go southeast through the Qinghe River and Wucheng line.

But along the way, there was no food and grass replenishment, and the states and counties along the way basically did not send them military rations, and even issued artillery warnings, and they couldn't even get close to the city.

During this period, many Ming armies were corrupted in military discipline, although they were not as good as the Qing army, but many of them were even more thieves, and ordinary prefectures and counties naturally took strict precautions against them.

This is not only the case for the generals who lead the troops, but also the Wenchen who leads the troops is also subjected to the same treatment.

In history, even Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet who led the troops south, encountered a situation where he was not allowed to enter the city, which shows the absurdity of the situation at that time.

Dezhou is backed by the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, accumulating a large amount of grain and grass, as an important place, Yang Sichang has already sorted out Dezhou properly, as long as he enters the territory of Dezhou, at least the problem of grain and grass does not need to worry.

If you go to Texas, you can at least have a bite to eat, and if you go to other places, you are afraid that if you don't see the Qing army, you will collapse first because of the lack of military food.

The wind outside the tent became more and more urgent, although Cao Wenzhao was still speaking, but Chen Wang had no way to concentrate his thoughts.

Sun Chuanting didn't say it explicitly, Cao Wenzhao didn't say it explicitly, and the princes of the imperial court didn't say it explicitly, but Jinan had actually been abandoned long ago......

It's probably just a chapter today, my brain is w, it's exploding, and I owe it another day..................
