292 expeditions

(Today's chapter is presented,**Coming,It's time to fight Tartars.,Brothers,Let's collect and subscribe!) ）

"On September 22, Yue Tuo destroyed the Great Wall from the north wall of Miyun, broke the border wall into the border, and beheaded Wu Aheng, the governor of Ming Jiliao.

On 28 September, Dolgon destroyed the border wall at Qingshan Pass, and the two armies joined forces in Tongzhou, a suburb of the capital. ”

Li Zixiao looked at the contents of the letter in his hand, this is the news that Zhang Fugui came back from the north.

Even if he asked Zhang Fugui to establish an intelligence system in the north in advance, by the time he received this information, nearly three or four days had passed since the Tatars entered the customs.

At this time, the entire Beizhili entered the customs with the Tartars, and there was chaos everywhere.

It is not easy for Zhang Fugui's intelligence system to get such detailed information in such a short period of time and immediately send someone back safely.

Li Zixiao settled down, handed the letter in his hand to Qian Guangyuan, and soon all the White Dragon Army generals in the hall knew about it, and a buzzing whisper.

"Great, Lao Tzu has been waiting impatiently, this year, Lao Tzu is about to be idle.

I have long heard the general say that those Guanwai Tartars may have to go south this year, but I didn't expect it to come.

I didn't say it, general, take us north to kill the Tartars, I want to see if these Tartars outside the gate are really as powerful as the rumors. ”

Zhou Dazhu looked excited at this time, and said with his hands on his hands.

Zhou Dazhu had never fought with the Tartars outside the Guan, and of course he didn't know the strength of the wild boar skins at this time, and he was bent on fighting.

However, in the White Dragon Army, there are people who have fought with the Tartars outside the Guanwai, Liu Chong and Qi Wei all have a solemn face at this time.

They have all been junior officers in the Ming army, and they have all fought with the Guanwai Tartars, and they know very well the power of those Guanwai Tartars.

"General Zhou, don't be reckless, I have fought with these Tartars outside the Guanwai, and they are much stronger than the bandits and guards we dealt with.

I'm not arrogant, I'm just telling the truth, I've seen dozens of Tatar cavalry outside the pass, arrogantly chasing hundreds of Ming troops and slashing and killing.

These Tartar cavalry outside the pass, superb horsemanship, good at riding and archery, all cavalry, and it is by no means an easy task to fight with them in the field.

If the general really makes up his mind, go north to King Qin, and fight those Tartars outside the Guan, he must be cautious and think in the long run. ”

Qi Wei said with an extremely serious expression.

"That's right, I'll reconsider, what General Qi Ying said is exactly what I want to say." Liu Chong also said afterwards.

"Cut, old Qi, old Liu, is it as mysterious as you say? I don't believe that those Tartars can still be three-headed and six-armed. ”、

Zhou Dazhu said disdainfully.

Subsequently, in the hall, a group of White Dragon Army generals were divided into two factions, some agreed with Qi Wei and Liu Chong's statement, and some agreed with Zhou Dazhu's statement.

Peng!

Li Zixiao slapped the wooden table with his palm, and the hall was quiet in an instant, and no one dared to make noise anymore.

Li Zixiao glanced at these subordinate generals in the hall and said loudly: "Everyone, as a Ming general, we should put state affairs first.

This is the autumn of national crisis, only generosity and fearlessness, with the determination to become benevolent, loyal and dutiful.

This official has made up his mind to lead his army north to fight the Tartars, but remember, we are not the king of Qin, but the north to save the people of Dawn.

I don't care how terrible the Tartars were. Now all I know is that they are our enemies, and I have only one request for them, and that is to kill them all!

From now on, the whole army will enter a state of readiness, and those who dare to collaborate with the enemy will be killed! Those who dare to shake the hearts of the army will be killed! There are those who dare not obey the order to kill! Those who dare to delay the fighter will be killed! ”

Li Zixiao jumped out of Li Zixiao's mouth with four cold "kill" words in a row, the air seemed to be even colder, and everyone was awe-inspiring and agreed in unison.

"Yes, follow the general's orders!"

After deciding on the course of action, everyone started to get busy.

This time, because the White Dragon Army was going to fight against the elite cavalry of the Manchu Tatars, and at that time, Li Zixiao estimated that they would not be able to get the cooperation of the so-called 'friendly army' of the Ming army.

In other words, they went north to find the Tartars this time, and they were completely alone, and in addition, Li Zixiao knew very well that the combat power of those Tartar soldiers outside the Guanguan at this time was much stronger than those Ming troops

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Li Zixiao did not dare to be careless, and he decided to lead all the war battalions under him to fight north after the reorganization had just ended.

In this way, Li Zixiao went north to fight this time, and the troops led by him were enough to reach nearly 10,000 people, which was almost all the troops in Li Zixiao's hands.

He left behind about four new barracks, totaling more than 3,000 people, plus the township troops and garrisons everywhere, with Qian Guangyuan sitting in the base area, which was enough to keep his lair safe.

With Li Zixiao's order, all the barracks under him were busy.

But the busiest is Qian Guangyuan, at this time in the civilian system of the White Dragon Army, Qian Guangyuan is the highest-ranking one.

Although he did not have his share in this expedition, all the material mobilization and preliminary preparations had to go through his hands, although he had a lot of small officials at this time, but he was still very busy.

At night, Li Zixiao lay in the quilt, holding Lin Yuluo and Guan Mingxi left and right in his arms, gently sniffing the two girls, the rich and seductive aroma, and the heart was peaceful.

And the two daughters also knew that Li Zixiao was going to go north tomorrow, and at this time, the two daughters' wonderful eyes were full of reluctance.

Lin Yuluo turned around slightly, a pair of jade arms wrapped around him, Li Zixiao's thick and sturdy waist, and cried softly: "Master, if you promise your concubine, you must return safely."

The slave family does not seek glory and wealth, but only hopes that the master can be safe and return triumphantly. ”

"What my sister said is very true, we will pray at home to bless the master with a safe and triumphant return as soon as possible!"

Guan Mingxi on the side also said out loud.

In this private space without others, the two women confided in Li Zixiao, and she said their truest thoughts.

Li Zixiao gently stroked the hair of the two girls, chuckled and comforted: "Don't worry, my life is so hard, master."

This time I went north, I just made a move with the Tartars, and by the way, I took back what should have belonged to us from the Tartars, otherwise what will I do to feed you, master, and such a large group of people under me! ”

"Well, the slave family believes in the master."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, I'm leaving, let's not say that I won't come back for half a year, let's sleep with my master tonight."

This night, Li Zixiao did not have a fish and water fun with the two girls, and Li Zixiao still had some self-control.

He is going to go on the expedition tomorrow, but he has to keep his spirits, and he can't go out tomorrow, with dark circles under his eyes, and he looks sluggish.

………………………………………………………………

Early the next morning, when Li Zixiao was served by Lin Yuluo and Guan Mingxi, he finished putting on his helmet and armor and said goodbye to the two reluctant daughters.

After going to say goodbye to his mother Qiao, Li Zixiao came to the school field of White Snake Village under the protection of quartz.

On the school field of White Snake Village, at this time, there were more than 4,000 soldiers of the White Dragon Army, who were already lined up in a neat formation, standing solemnly on the school field.

Even though the cold wind blew by, no one made a sound in the entire school field.

At this time, the soldiers of the White Dragon Army who set off from the White Snake Village did not include all the White Dragon Army barracks, including several barracks stationed in Xuzhou, Baihu Village, Yongcheng County and other places, and they could not go to the White Snake Village at this time.

They will directly follow the military orders conveyed to them by Li Zixiao and go to the designated place to meet them, and there is no need to return to White Snake Village, which would be too much of a delay.

In front of these soldiers, stood their respective sentinels, captains, flag generals, team generals and other officers, who formed a square array in each battalion.

Li Zixiao boarded the parade platform and slowly looked around at the soldiers below, who were wearing brand-new red mandarin duck battle jackets and sheepskin jackets one by one.

The snow-white lapels turned out of the outside, and the outside was covered with a layer of chain mail, looking majestic, each holding a spear and a bird in his hand, and thousands of pairs of eyes were brushed together, staring at the parade platform.

It took Li Zixiao a whole year to fulfill his original promise and let all his soldiers change into brand-new armor and weapons, so that they could eat their stomachs and go into battle to kill the enemy.

Looking at the faces looking at him below, Li Zixiao could see from their eyes that these soldiers had strong respect and admiration for him.

Li Zixiao suppressed his excitement and said loudly: "Brothers, today our White Dragon Army is going to fight again, our sharp sword has not been unsheathed for a long time, are you still sharp!" ”

"I'm invincible, kill, kill!"

A loud and neat shout suddenly sounded below, shaking the heavens and the earth, Li Zixiao enjoyed this moment very much, this feeling of being supported by thousands of subordinates was very wonderful.

Li Zixiao pressed his hand, and the shouting stopped abruptly, and he continued: "Why did our White Dragon Army send troops this time? I'm sure you already know that.

The Outer Tartar soldiers entered the pass again, and the corpses were all over the field, and the fathers and villagers and brothers and sisters of Beizhili were crying under the horse's hooves of the Tartars at this time.

As soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, it is our duty to protect our family and defend the country, and it has always been the purpose of our White Dragon Army to protect our poor people.

Lao Tzu is here today, announcing a few forbidden laws, so that you can abide by them, otherwise when the time comes, if anyone violates the military order, don't blame the military law for being ruthless. ”

Li Zixiao's words were filled with a murderous aura, and among the officers and soldiers of the White Dragon Army below, whether they were officers or soldiers, they all looked at Li Zixiao awe-inspiring and listened attentively.

At this time, Li Zixiao also said that they went north to fight against the Tartars outside the Guanwai this time, saying that it was righteous and awe-inspiring, showing how loyal and patriotic he was.

In fact, only those high-level henchmen of the White Dragon Army knew that Li Zixiao took them north this time to grab money and get oil and water, and it was just a matter of doing it easily.

"All the soldiers will remember to Ben General, and they will not be cut before hearing the drums! Those who don't retreat will be killed! Those who disturb the morale of the army are killed! **Kidnappers of women and children are beheaded! Those who shake the hearts of the army are killed! Those who don't listen to orders will be killed!."

Li Zixiao said that this eight-tone chopping word was like a huge thunder, hitting the hearts of the thousands of officers and soldiers of the White Dragon Army in the school field.

Looking at Li Zixiao's serious expression and his eyes shining with cold light, everyone knew that Li Zixiao was really not talking casually, and if anyone really violated military law, it was estimated that the end would not be easy.

Li Zixiao finally asked coldly: "Do you remember it?" ”

"Remember!" The soldiers of the White Dragon Army below replied violently

"Alright, let's go!"

With a wave of Li Zixiao's hand, a hundred cavalry scouts went first, a thousand pikemen followed, and the soldiers patted the neat team, leaving the White Snake Village and heading towards Xuzhou.

When the team of the White Dragon Army set out and drove out of the White Snake Village, both sides of the road in the White Snake Village were full of dense local people.

They want to be here, bidding farewell to their hometown soldiers, and the eyes of these people are full of reluctance and worry.

I went north to fight fiercely with the Tartars, I don't know how many people can come back alive, and since ancient times, how many people have returned, they are naturally worried about their relatives.

Li Zixiao rode a horse to the side of the team, and he whispered to Qian Guangyuan and instructed: "Mr. Qian, after Ben will leave, the family will ask you." ”

Qian Guangyuan nodded and said solemnly: "General, rest assured, your subordinates will definitely help you take care of the White Snake Village, and will never let anyone ruin your hard work." ”

"Okay, then you are at home, waiting for the news of our victory!"

Li Zixiao rode his horse and ran forward, and at this time, a loud military song sounded in front of him: "The Three Kingdoms generals are brave, Zhao Zilong is the first to be promoted, the heroes of Changhan Slope are the heroes, thousands of generals are retreated, and millions of soldiers are ......killed."

Li Zixiao chose the route to the north, not to take the route of returning to Germany, Kaifeng, and then entering the territory of Beizhili, but to choose to go east to Xuzhou, and then go north along the canal, enter the territory of Shandong, and finally arrive in Beizhili.

Because, this time, the area where Li Zixiao mainly plans to fight with Tartar is in the southern border of Beizhili, as well as in the northeast of Shandong.

According to Li Zixiao's historical memory, when the Tartars entered the customs this time, don't look at the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops around the capital, but no one dared to go up and fight with the Tartars.

The only places where fierce battles took place were Sun Chengzong's hometown of Gaoyang, Beizhili, and then the place where Lu Xiangsheng died in battle, Julu Jiazhuang, Shunde Prefecture, and finally Jinan.

In this case, Li Zixiao felt that there was no need for him to go north to the capital area, but it was better to wait for the arrival of the Tartars in Shunde Mansion, near the border of Shandong.

And Li Zixiao chose to go to Xuzhou and Shandong, and he had his own deep meaning.

When he returned from the battle, these places were in his pocket.

At this time, Li Zixiao urgently needed to expand the territory in his hands, otherwise he would not be able to raise tens of thousands of subordinates in the future.

After all, looting alone is not a long-term place, and his established plan has not changed, taking Xuzhou, and then plotting to go north to Shandong, or south to Jianghuai, as a foundation for his own hegemony.

Moreover, it is more convenient to go north by Xuzhou Canal, which is also a relatively safe logistics supply route and a relatively safe way to retreat.

The White Dragon Army is alone in the north this time, of course Li Zixiao has to choose a way for himself to retreat, once the situation is not good, he will go south along the canal and retreat.
