There are many elm willows outside the city of Linzi, planted when Ma Xian built the city in the seventh year of Zhengde, after more than 100 years, it has been thick as a bucket, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant, but it is a good place to enjoy the cool in summer.

Chang Yu and his entourage beat horses and galloped east for several miles under the shade of the trees to the shore of Taigong Lake, everyone got off their horses and looked for a shaded place by the lake, and sat under the hook to wait for the umami, not far behind them, a few pro-soldiers dug a pit and lit a fire to prepare for the barbecue, Qiao Sanxiu led three or five horses to ride horses in the distance to patrol back and forth, after all, this node can not be careless, and if it is not good, there will be a Tartar You Yong or a horse thief.

Zhu Ci'an sat beside Chang Yu with a fishing rod in his hand, a little nervous and a little excited in his heart, and secretly looked at the little eunuch but saw him squinting at the water in a daze, as if he was absent-minded.

It turned out that he was not as easy as he thought, Zhu Ci'an said secretly.

There was a whistle in the distance, this was a warning that someone was there, Zhu Ci'an was startled, and the soldiers next to him immediately turned over and drew their bows and knives, and Chang Yu just turned his head to look at the city, and then turned to stare at the water, and if there was no flag in the city, it was not a warning signal.

More than ten horsemen from the north galloped wildly, and were about to enter the city, but they saw a few horses outside the riverside woods in the northeast corner of the city, and then looked at and beckoned, and after a little hesitation, they hit the horses and came over, and saw that it was Qiao Sanxiu, and was slightly surprised: "The factory can be here?" ”

Chen Ruxin, who came, took people out of the city early in the morning to investigate intelligence, which Chang Yu confessed last night: "Don't worry about the east, go north."

Chen Ruxin is also Chen Wangting's nephew, and he is the best among the younger generation in terms of martial arts, but many things in the army belong to rookies, whether it is fighting in battle or stealing reconnaissance, he is not as good as a veteran in the army.

He can't learn, he is one of Chang Yu's personal soldiers, and his subordinates are all elite veterans, and he has also learned a lot of practical means, so he set off without hesitation after receiving the order.

"Anything useful?" Chang Yu picked up the pole while speaking, and a half-pound crucian carp came out of the water, and everyone cheered.

"The army of Tartars is coming!" Chen Ruxin's eyebrows were very solemn, he led more than ten people out of the city to run all the way to the north in the morning, and there was no abnormality, and it was rare to see the people and no tartars.

I ran dozens of miles in one breath to a big village, named Zhutai Town, which belongs to Linzi County, Xincheng County (now Huantai County) Guangrao County, and the junction of three counties.

When he was about to go to the village to beg for a drink, he heard the villagers exclaim, it turned out that a villager who had returned from the north said that he had met a Tartar and escaped death......

Chen Ruxin asked the direction of the horse and rushed to the horse, and in a village a few miles away, he happened to encounter six or seven Qing soldiers killing people and setting fires, so he took advantage of his unpreparedness to surround and kill them, captured two people, and confessed under severe torture: The main force of the Qing army broke through Guangrao in the early morning and was moving south at this time......

Chang Yu became expressionless when he heard what he said: "Is there any news about Li Yan who hasn't been explored?" ”

Chen Ruxin shook his head: "I asked the prisoner, and after the heavy troops were still broken in the north, General Li must still be blocked dozens of miles away."

"Didn't you meet our scouts either?" Chang Yu asked again, Chen Ruxin shook his head: "No, after killing those two captives, I traveled more than ten miles north, but I saw that the Tartars were getting more and more dense, so I had to return."

Chang Yu hummed and looked up at the sun: "Half a day is free, only half a day is free."

"Does the factory governor mean that the Tartars will come to Zizi in half a day?" Zhu Ci'an couldn't help but be shocked, and asked sideways.

Chang Yu nodded: "Where the main force of the Tartars is, the periphery of the horse radiation is close to twenty or thirty miles, and the distance is forty or fifty miles, and Guangrao to Qingzhou is less than a hundred miles away from Linzi, and it is only fifty or sixty miles, although its main force has a heavy load, it can also walk twenty or thirty miles in half a day, if nothing else, there will be Tartars coming to Zicheng in the afternoon."

"Exploring the horses?" Zhu Ci'an asked again: "If there are few horses, it is not enough to be afraid."

Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Maybe it's a little Tanma or a small group of Tartars, but who knows."

Zhu Ci'an was a little nervous when he heard this: "Then let's go back to the city early after eating the fish."

Return? Chang Yu smiled: "The city is so stuffy that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World doesn't plan to play something else?" ”

Other? Zhu Ci'an was stunned: "Isn't the factory governor going to hunt in the mountains?" ”

Chang Yu smiled, and Qiao Sanxiu, Chen Ruxin and others next to him also laughed, but Zhu Ci'an looked confused and just wanted to ask clearly, but saw the little eunuch turn his head to look at the water: "Li Yan should be blocked by the Tartars on the bank of the Yellow River."

"So, what about that?" Everyone frowned, and Zhu Ci'an was even more frightened, the Yellow River is a dangerous man, but if it can't come, then Qingzhou City is not ...... Suddenly frightened into a cold sweat: "Factory, factory supervisor, save Qingzhou...... He knelt down as he spoke."

Chang Yu picked him up with one hand: "Do you know Li Yan?" ”

Zhu Ci'an shook his head: "No, but I have heard it recently, it seems that he was a military advisor in the thief army and then voted for the imperial court to be used by the factory governor."

Chang Yu knew that what he heard must have been told by Li Shiyuan, and asked, "Do you know what the military advisor does?"

"Advice?" Zhu Ci'an couldn't react a little.

Chang Yu smiled: "That's right" said and raised his finger: "Military advisors are good at scheming, and it may not be possible to charge into battle, but the marching array is a first-class and first-class hand, and sometimes the enemy is played to death and doesn't know what's going on."

"What does the factory governor mean, General Li can call?" Zhu Ci'an was overjoyed.

Chang Yu turned his gaze to the water again: "As expected, he has crossed the Yellow River now!" ”

Since Dolgon's main force had arrived in Guangrao, more than 100 miles away from the bank of the Yellow River, and Li Yanzhi had arrived at the bank of the Yellow River last night, no one knew better than him the consequences if the reinforcements did not reach Qingzhou City, so the little eunuch guessed that even if he attacked Li Yan, he had already started, and it was not impossible to cross the river with his ability.

At this time, the Yellow River was cut off in many places, and the water of the ferry was shallow, and it was only necessary to divide the troops to find a few ferries to force the crossing, which was the method that Chang Yu thought of, and Li Yan would inevitably think of it.

Therefore, Chang Yu believes that Li Yan will not delay for too long, and he will definitely be able to cross the river.

But he still underestimated Li Yan a little.

That's right, Li Yan has already crossed the river, and he did use the division of troops to choose multiple forced crossings, but it was not as difficult as expected, and it could even be said that he crossed the river easily.

And two of them played a key role, one was the Taoist priest Li Muxian, who was called a charlatan by the little eunuch but was a humerus.

As for the other one, he is almost forgotten by everyone, although he has a noble status, but he is unknown in the army, he is Wu Weiying, the commander of the Shenji Battalion.

Wu Weiying is a marquis, he used to be the governor of the Beijing camp, but he was later taken away, a few months ago, Chang Yu went out of the customs to transfer troops, and the Shenji battalion needed a commander to take him over.

At first, Lao Wu was very scared, and when he went to the Guanwai, the military power was also hollowed out, but what he didn't expect was that the Shenji Battalion made a great contribution outside the Guan, and Wu Weiying also went from being rejected at the beginning to wanting to play with him like that, at least he could sell his reputation and reputation.

Then followed to Baoding Mansion, a few battles were fought remarkably, this time the pursuit of the Qing army itself followed out of Beijing, in the camel camp to assist Huang Degong beat Duoduo, after all the way to follow the army south but never shot again, in Tianjin Wei Changyu ordered all the infantry to stay and recuperate, but because of the particularity of the Shenji Battalion is not among them, so at this time followed the chase, the Shenji Battalion is the only infantry (the whole battalion of the Shenji Battalion is about 5,000, the infantry 3,000 are all equipped with muskets, 1,000 cavalry, 400 artillery)

Chasing all the way from Tianjin, Li Yan led the cavalry to fight and kill in front, Wu Weiying led the Shenji battalion to hold the gun and drag the cannon in the back and walked unhurriedly, the two legs were not as good as the horse's legs, they were very tired but they were idle, the cavalry in front of them left, and the cavalry stopped and they rested, and over time there was no sense of existence, Li Yan forgot that there was this person.

But Li Muxian remembers, because he was born in the rivers and lakes and likes to play tricks and socialize, at this time the army is another river and lake, but he has almost a relationship with all the generals who can be counted, and today he will give this face Ming'er to that fortune teller, which is very marketable, and Wu Weiying, a big man like Houye, he has to pin it on the belt of his trousers every day, calculating how to make more.

So when Li Muxian said Wu Weiying's name, Li Yan instantly knew what he meant, and slapped his head and scolded himself for forgetting this stubble.

It's a tough battle, but it doesn't have to be a hard fight.

So how to fight?
