Chapter 299: Hengyang Yan went without paying attention

Li Chixin is very satisfied with his contributions to the country, the people and the army, and he is willing to be an unsung hero. The model of DJI plus OPPO allowed Li Chixin to find out the general deployment of this Qing army in a short period of time under the conditions of poor conditions, lack of materials, and shortage of manpower, and conveyed extremely important news to his rival Ming official army.

However, the main force of Lu Xiangsheng's army had already circled around Baoding, and he had neither money nor food or grass at the moment; although he had written several times to the army to report that the army was in an emergency, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. As a result, he destroyed an important base of the Qing army that hoarded grain and grass, but he could not launch a further offensive, just because the soldiers and horses of King Qin led by Lu Xiangsheng were cut off by the Ming court that he rescued.

In terms of the art of war, there is nothing more important than cutting off food. It is said that Lu Xiangsheng, with the help of Li Chixin, burned the grain and grass of the Qing soldiers outside the scope of junior high school history textbooks, which will deal a major blow to the attackers, but the Qing soldiers did not carry much grain and grass when they entered the army, and the principle of their combat was all centered on the word "profitable".

At this point, even if Li Chixin had a junior high school history textbook as a reference, he miscalculated, and his unkind behavior caused by eating the enemy was completely beyond the moral scope of real estate developers in later generations.

The overseers traveled with the officials and soldiers on Daming's own land, but they suffered a secret loss because of this, Lu Xiangsheng, who had run out of food, asked Qingyuan County to prepare grain and grass, but the county town was closed and ignored Lu Xiangsheng's military orders. Lu Xiangsheng personally wrote an edict and sent his Chinese army to Qingyuan Zhixian, and the above was even more sternly worded: "...... If there is any further delay, the three armies will become enemies, and they should be dealt with by military law!"

It's a pity that Lu Xianggao saw the prestige of his governor's world rescue soldiers and horses, and also underestimated the lofty ambitions of the recipients.

Gao Qiqian sent people to hold a letter to reproach Xiang Sheng: "My Gongtun soldiers are under the fortified city, and if we don't advance or retreat, how will the major events be helped in the future?"

Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to lead the hungry soldiers to Zhending, hoping to get some help. Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiping, the governor of Zhending, saw that Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian had excluded him, and he also closed the city gate tightly and did not let anyone enter the city.

At this time, Li Chixin, who was in a daze with Di Bao Leng Ke Ke in his hand, sighed, "Woohoo, Da Ming!" Even in later generations, he rarely saw people who were willing to use throwing techniques in order to crack down on dissidents, let alone politicians who used self-sacrifice techniques. But now the bloody line of words in the newspaper opened Chairman Li's eyes, "Qingyuan opened the city to the enemy, the people, cattle, and silver silk in the city were plundered, and the whereabouts of Zuo Liangcai, the county magistrate, are unknown......"

The army was already running out of food, and Lu Xiangsheng and his soldiers only ate one porridge a day, and sometimes they couldn't even eat one. More than 10,000 people who rescued the Beijing division turned against the Lord and became lost dogs, and they could not get help from the rescued, so they had to rely on grass roots, tree bark and very little miscellaneous grains to satisfy their hunger.

At first, Zhang Qiping, the governor of Zhending, also promised to receive Lu Xiangsheng's grain for a day, but when Lu Xiangsheng sent officials to receive grain, he turned from noon to dusk, from the east gate to the south gate, and the Baoding guards resolutely did not open the city gate. ”

Immediately, a rope was tied to a worn wooden box, and the silver was pulled down from the city.

The gentry and common people in the villages and towns of Gyeonggi were afraid of both the Qing soldiers and the Ming Dynasty's own soldiers. In this way, even if Lu Xiangsheng received a thousand taels of silver, he had nowhere to buy grain.

Some soldiers, with the acquiescence of the officers, quietly left the camp in small groups at night and went to the nearby towns to forage for fodder, and their robbery and other evil deeds were no different from those of the Qing army. As a result, the common people hated and feared the officials and soldiers more and more, and wherever the officers and soldiers went, the people fled more and more cleanly and farther.

In the years when Lu Xiangsheng was fighting against the peasant army, he was already familiar with the disturbance of good people and all kinds of illegal situations by the officials and soldiers, and he was even more laissez-faire with burning, killing and looting those villages that had anything to do with thieves.

However, he was currently fighting against the Qing soldiers, and this phenomenon of losing the hearts and minds of the people made him feel frightened and worried. Afraid of an unexpected accident, he ordered the arrest of two soldiers, and then gathered the whole army and beheaded them in front of the hungry generals.

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng's three strong reinforcements who are also enemies and friends once again exerted their subjective initiative, Li Chixin not only captured the spies of the Qing army and Gao Qiqian, but also captured Gao Qiqian's cronies and eunuchs, and at the same time searched for ironclad evidence from the two of them.

Li Chixin understood Lu Xiangsheng's situation, so according to common sense, the spies of the Qing army and the eunuchs who secretly collaborated with the enemy under Gao Qiqian were handed over to the local government to deal with, he originally thought that in this way, Chongzhen would definitely change his course after seeing the true face of Gao Qiqian, and re-trust and reuse Lu Xiangsheng; he did not expect that the wheel of history was as stubborn as Chongzhen in history, and did not give Li Chixin any chance to change the status quo at all......

In desperation, Li Chixin once again took his "trio of thieves" to hoe rape, catch spies, and listen to intelligence behind enemy lines, and reported the details of the Qing army to Lu Xiangsheng's army one by one.

In order to prevent the enemy from continuing to go deeper, Lu Xiangsheng attacked the enemy camp between Zhending, Julu and Zhaozhou according to the map, and often made small gains, but the Qinwang army and horses who rescued the Beijing division have been discouraged, and the reason why it can be maintained so far is estimated to be only because Lu Xiangsheng's character is bursting, so his men and horses have no fighting spirit, and now even if they have Li Chixin's accurate information, they are only disrupting one or two, and almost nothing to do with victory or defeat.

Because of the lack of food, the lonely national reinforcements were isolated. At this time, even if Lu Xiangsheng exploded his character again, it would be difficult to stop the shaking of the army's morale; in the army of King Qin, there were people everywhere sighing and scolding the imperial court, and the evil deeds of looting and other circles and forks could no longer be stopped.

What's more, the officers and soldiers began to desert on their home turf. Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although the Ming court could not resist foreign humiliation, it still treated its own people harshly, and even if these people escaped from the military camp and fled back to their hometown, they were still to be killed.
