Yue Tuo, after Du Du listened carefully to Fan Wencheng's suggestion, he sent a large number of scouts to search and advance towards Lantian City.

However, the effect was not good, and things deviated far from the expectations of Yue Tuo, Du Du and others, waiting for the scouts to come with news one after another.

Yue Tuo, Du Du was surprised to find that the surrounding area of Lantian City had become another Liaodong.

The fortresses here are densely packed, the beacons are watching and helping each other, and there are tunnels connecting the various fortresses, and after a little breach, the enemy will retreat, waiting for their own army to advance, and the enemy will appear behind them again, forming a siege against them.

Not only that, but the Mongols here were not willing to cooperate with the Manchu army, on the contrary, they had fled far away before the summer came.

In the winter of last year, the Mongolian princes who also tricked the Mongolian princes into invade Datong Mansion and Xuanfu did not see any trace of them at this time.

Some of them went to Qinghai, others to the far north.

At this point, it was no longer beyond the control of Yue Tuo and Du Du, so they wrote to Huang Taiji to explain the complexity of the situation in Naturalization City.

On the one hand, he asked the emperor to give greater help to Zhangjiakou's side.

However, the assistance that Yue Tuo and Du Du mentioned only meant military rations and weapons, and as for the army, they did not report any hope.

The Manchu army itself was not much, and the entire army to which the Red Banner belonged was here, and it was impossible for Shengjing to give more reinforcements.

Fan Wencheng said very clearly that the only purpose of Yun Zhaoxiong's blockade was to get the national righteousness.

The Manchus were enemies to any Ming people, and they were mortal enemies!

While others are busy fighting for power and profit in the country and grabbing territory, Lantian County is fighting against the sworn enemy of the nation, which can greatly enhance the pride of the soldiers and soldiers, and thus burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm for combat.

When such an army has established its own military soul, it is natural to go back and clean up the old mountains and rivers.

Fan Wencheng was right.

That's what Yun Zhao thought.

The last years of the Ming Dynasty were very similar to a certain era in his previous life.

It's all a good method that has been verified by the sages, how can Yun Zhao not use it?

The Manchus were foreign enemies, and as for the imperial court, when fighting with other rogues, the first priority was naturally the Manchus.

If Yun Zhao goes out of Lantian now, he will soon be able to destroy Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong, so that the Ming Dynasty can continue to survive.

However, Yun Zhao thought that if the main contradictions in society were not resolved, letting the Ming Dynasty survive would only aggravate the suffering of the people.

Revolution is what the people of the Ming Dynasty need, and it is also the ultimate choice to solve things.

It's not a big deal to have a fight behind closed doors, and whoever gets the upper hand is not a bad thing.

Anyway, with such a brawl, it will be good for social reform after all.

With Lantian City, a strong and isolated fortress, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not want to harm the people of the Central Plains, and if they wanted to do harm, they could only enter Beijing from Liaodong.

Therefore, Yun Zhao drew a vertical line on the map, and the left side of the vertical line is where Lantian County needs to expand in the next few years.

To the right of the vertical line, I had to let it go.

Strength is the touchstone that determines the size of ambition.

According to Yun Zhao's plan, Lantian City, Datong Mansion, and Xuanfu are going to form an iron triangle.

With the speed of development of Lantian County, after Lu Xiangsheng violated the king's order to pursue the Manchu army this time to show the consequences, Zhang Guozhu and they could easily and happily infiltrate Datong Mansion and Xuanfu, and they were very experienced in this kind of thing.

The war that was expected to break out soon was quiet until the fifth day of the fifth month of May.

Yue Tuo, Du Du's army was still stationed outside Zhangjiakou, and they even scattered their serfs into the fields to cultivate those abandoned fields.

At this time, the wheat outside Zhangjiakou City was already more than a foot high, and it would ripen in another month, and Yue Tuo and Du Du seemed to have plans to stay in Zhangjiakou for a long time.

Li Dingguo's cavalry galloped in the wheat field, and they did not care about the wheat in the field, which was a felony if it was in Lantian County, galloping horses in the wheat field.

A small group of Manchu cavalry fearlessly attacked, and under the gaze of the serfs, two cavalry groups of no more than 100 people collided fiercely.

The handcuffs are roaring, the sabers are colliding, the feathered arrows are flying, and the horses are neighing!

Cavalry battles could never last long, and when the last Manchu cavalry was smashed in the face by the handcuffs and dragged by the frightened war horses to run into the distance, a guy who looked like Fan San yelled at the stunned serfs in the field: "Run......

Then, the peasants scattered in the fields chased Fan San to the hilly area in the distance.

Such things happened almost every day, sometimes it was Li Dingguo who attacked, sometimes it was Lu Xiangsheng who attacked, and under the frequent harassment of the Ming army, Du Du ordered that the serfs should not be placed ten miles away from the camp.

Fan Sanran's intestines were about to break, he regretted why he wanted to take the gold that Qian Shao gave, every time this young master rewarded himself with a little silver, or gold, there were things with very serious consequences for him to do.

He sometimes didn't understand, those people saw two cavalry fighting, and there was no one to guard them at this time, and if they didn't shout, they didn't know that there was such a thing as escape in this world.

Fan San looked with some envy at the serfs who were captured by the Manchu cavalry and were led into the hills and mountains by some Tsing Yi people, they could walk, but Fan San couldn't.

Anyway, he also has a big green mule to walk around......

Lu Xiangsheng has long lost his graceful and luxurious appearance now, the beard on his face is covered with grass like grass, and his eyes like cold stars have become a little muddy now.

Yun Zhao poured a cup of tea for Lu Xiangsheng, watched him drink a whole pot of cow, and asked people to prepare food.

Lu Xiangsheng had no interest in the meat in front of him, and he seemed to prefer white rice.

"Why don't you go back to Xuanfu, or Datong?"

Yun Zhao looked at Lu Xiangsheng for a long time, and then asked softly.

"The captives have not returned home, so what shall I go back to?"

"Why don't you send troops from Xuanfu and Datong? In the current scene like yours, you have run out of ammunition.

Also, why do you always run out of ammunition? ”

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Yun Zhao and said: "I can transfer the Tianxiong Army at will, Datong, the officers and soldiers of the Xuanfu and their duties are to guard the border, and they cannot be transferred."

As for why I always run out of ammunition, it's because I'm always fighting. ”

Yun Zhao thought for a moment and said, "What impact does the establishment of Lantian City have on you?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng put down the chopsticks in his hand, stared at Yun Zhao's eyes and said: "Naturalization City originally belonged to the three ladies of the Ming Dynasty, but it was later captured by Mongolia, and in the eyes of a certain family, it still belongs to the Ming Dynasty." ”

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "Lantian County also belongs to Daming. ”

Lu Xiangsheng's face was bruised, Gaba broke the chopsticks in his hand, slammed his fist on the table and said, "You are plotting against Datong and Xuanfu!" ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "The military purpose of establishing Lantian City is to stick a knife in one of Jiannu's legs, so that they can no longer enter and exit the Central Plains from Zhangjiakou as they wish. ”

"You want to be in my Xuanfu, and you will be in the old affairs of Lantian County in Guanzhong."

Yun Zhao said with a smile: "If you can manage these two places well, govern them well, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and make the army invincible, the gods will not be able to take Datong and Xuanfu from you." ”

Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a long time, lowered his head and said, "I am going to lose the official position of Governor of Xuanda this time." ”

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "Because of Shandong's affairs?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Originally, we discussed that we would use the erosion of Shandong to leave the 100,000 horses of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Shandong to encroach on the ......."

Yun Zhao said: "Li Hongji Kaifeng made a rebellion and made a comeback, so that all your efforts were in vain." ”

Lu Xiangsheng sighed and said: "The Ming Dynasty is not only me and Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting can fight, Li Hongji started in troubled times, the foundation is unstable, the imperial court only needs to send a major minister to sit in Henan, and the Henan army can trap Li Hongji in Henan, gather and annihilate him."

It is a pity that the generals of the imperial court are afraid of the enemy like tigers, and one Li Hongji makes them extremely frightened, and without the need for Dolgon in the encirclement to make more efforts, the imperial court has already helped him disperse the encirclement we have formed.

In this way, the suffering suffered by the people of Shandong is completely meaningless, and I, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting, have become thieves who harm the people.

Lu Xiangsheng was ashamed, if I couldn't take back the people of Shandong from Jiannu, I wouldn't be blind! ”

After speaking, he picked up his rice bowl again and continued to eat.

"If you die in battle, I will immediately take Xuanfu and Datong, and find two reliable fulcrums for Lantian City."

Lu Xiangsheng lowered his head and said, "You are an official of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Yun Zhao said: "It's just because I'm an official of the Ming Dynasty that I will do this." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "In this way, Yun Zhao, who messes with the world!" ”

Yun Zhao said with a smile: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, this world is not the world of his Zhu Ming family, but the world of the people."

Since he Zhu Ming collected the people's taxes, but he couldn't give the people a stable living environment, it was not bad to change someone.

Since you are not in Xuanda, then you know the reason why I took Xuanda, I don't want more than 100,000 people in Lantian City to be attacked on all sides. ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard these words, he didn't get angry, raised his head and glanced at Yun Zhao with anxious eyes, and said, "You are winning the championship." ”

Yun Zhao smiled faintly: "I have no opinion on you being the emperor in the future." ”

Lu Xiangsheng had a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Your men will kill me and put you in that position."

Yun Zhao laughed and said, "It's too likely. ”

After Lu Xiangsheng finished eating, he wiped his mouth with his worn sleeves heroically, grabbed his war knife and got up and said: "Please do one thing, let your subordinates attack more violently, I want to go to Yuetuo's camp within ten miles to see." ”

Yun Zhao frowned and said, "You're looking for death." ”

Lu Xiangsheng laughed softly and said: "If you are disloyal to your ministers and unkind to your officials, such a person should have died a long time ago." ”

Yun Zhao saw Lu Xiangsheng leave the military tent and said loudly: "Live well, only by living can you see the beauty of the future." ”

Lu Xiangsheng's voice came from afar: "I am an old man, I am used to seeing the mountains and rivers of the old times, and the beautiful scenery of the rising sun, so let the newcomer see it, I grow old with the sunset, which is also a beautiful talk." ”
