There was a power outage today, so I had to go to the Internet café to code words...... Kneel and beg for all support. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Boat kneel thanks.

The raging flood finally stopped after half an hour.
Standing on the top of the city and looking at it, the whole heaven and earth are everywhere.
Although the flood waters have receded, the aftermath has not yet dissipated.
On the ground, there was originally a lot of vibrant green, but there was not much left, and there was only one star and a half occasionally, just like looking for stars in the foggy and confused sky of the later generations.
But when the flood receded, the morale of the Ming army at the head of the city was unprecedentedly high.
Whether it is a soldier or an auxiliary, everyone's face is full of joy as if they have been reborn.
Even such a huge and monstrous flood could not help them, and what else in the world could stop them?
Is it just these dog tartars who can only use the next three indiscriminate methods?
"Haha. Yuanqing, let's hold it, let's hold it. Dog's day Tartar, that's all there is to it. ”
In the southeast corner of Fuzhou City, Chen Zhong couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and couldn't help laughing.
Others may not know, but he personally went to inspect the fortifications of the sons and daughters of the Immortal Battalion Engineer Corps.
At this time, the facts have proved that the hard work of the sons and daughters was not in vain, and Li Yuanqing's careful planning successfully curbed Huang Taiji's insidious and poisonous schemes.
Li Yuanqing was not too excited at this time.
It's like a thoughtful engineer who already knows his masterpiece, and the facts have proven that all the efforts of him and his brothers are worth it and are effective.
Li Yuanqing crouched on a battlement, condescendingly overlooking the direction of the Houjin camp not far away.
Although the flood receded, there was still an ocean on the ground, and the stumbling water, along the drainage tunnel of the engineer battalion structure, bypassed the city of Fuzhou, flowed to the north and south, and then converged to the west gate, until the west, and finally, into the sea.
Looking at Li Yuanqing from this angle, on the ground, the depth of the water flow is probably more than 10 centimeters.
However, the flood is still very short, and the surface of the ground is probably not completely wet.
Next to him, seeing that Li Yuanqing seemed to have no joy to defend against the flood at all, Zhang Pan didn't know what it was like in his heart.
But there is one thing he understands very well, the gap between him and Li Yuanqing, which originally seemed not to be far away, has been like the sky and the sea, and it can no longer be crossed.
"Yuanqing, what are you thinking?" Zhang Pan hesitated, but still opened his mouth to Li Yuanqing, and asked with a smile.
Li Yuanqing smiled and looked at Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong, "Two big brothers, judging from the situation at this time, the water stored by the dog tartar has almost been exhausted. The water potential in front of him should just be a hole in the Shahe River. There should be no rain during this time. This is an opportunity for us. ”
Zhang Pan's face couldn't help but change when he heard this, "Yuanqing, you, you mean, we are going to find Houjin Tartar now?" ”
Li Yuanqing smiled faintly, "These lowly Houjin Tartars are just a group of savages between the white mountains and black waters, and this Fuzhou City is not their back garden, how can they come and leave as soon as they say?" Don't give these dogs some harsh lessons, they still think that we Han people are easy to bully! ”
Although Li Yuanqing said it easily, Zhang Pan clearly felt the fortitude and domineering.
But at this time, this is ......
"Yuanqing, the water is still so big now, in case of trouble, this ......"
Although Zhang Pan couldn't wait to be able to slash Huang Taiji now, he also understood that in such a situation, there was almost no advance or retreat.
The land is so muddy, but if you run into trouble, the consequences are unimaginable.
The good situation in Fuzhou City is likely to be ......
On the side, Chen Zhong smiled and said, "Yuanqing, do you already have a good solution?" The dog tartar is too arrogant, if he doesn't beat off a few front teeth of the dog, he really thinks we are soft persimmons! ”
Even such a flood can be defended, Chen Zhong has already thrown himself to the ground for the five bodies that Li Yuanqing admires, at this time, let alone just going on an expedition, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, how can he hesitate?
Li Yuanqing looked at the two of them and suddenly smiled: "Two big brothers." Wealth is only sought in danger. At this time, it is only in the afternoon, and I estimate that in the evening, the water will inevitably decrease, and the land will be more muddy......"
…………
Fuzhou City was originally the sphere of influence of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, and at this time, with Chen Zhong's strong support, Zhang Pan could only be used as a vassal.
In addition, Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang had already been the only ones who had already followed Li Yuanqing, and Li Yuanqing's military orders were implemented in the shortest possible time.
Fuzhou City has enough soldiers and food at this time, and if you want to go on the expedition, you don't need to prepare too much at all.
At this time, in the camp of the East Gate, in several cauldrons, boiling water was boiling and bringing up huge pieces of meat, which added a lot of wolfberries and spices, and the attractive aroma of meat could be transmitted to several miles away.
The Changsheng Battalion and Chen Zhongbu, close to 5,000 soldiers, under the leadership of the officers of each department, lined up in neat rows, sat cross-legged, ready to wait for the meal.
Next to it, the 300 soldiers of Zhang Pan are also in this list.
The pot is boiling horse meat, which was captured by the Jin camp after the sneak attack some time ago.
Some salted fish, mutton, and mutton bones were added to make it fresh.
At this time, if you want to go on an expedition and break out, of course Li Yuanqing will not be stingy, as long as it is a soldier on the expedition, this dinner before the departure will have enough meat and a full meal.
In this era, subject to the constraints of productivity, people generally love to eat fatty meat.
The fatter the meat, the more the children like it.
But Li Yuanqing deeply understands that fat supplements only fat, if you want explosive power and strength, the best supplement is lean meat.
Among them, the best choice is the lean meat of beef.
It's just that although nearly a thousand cattle were seized from the Houjin camp, most of these cattle were intact, they were all healthy and strong, and they were definitely a weapon for arriving land when they were brought back to Changsheng Island.
Li Yuanqing was really reluctant to slaughter them.
And these horse meats, all of which are obtained by slaughtering war horses, are all fine meat, although the taste is slightly worse, but the effect of replenishing energy is not much lower than that of beef.
It's an economical and affordable option.
And the firefighters of the Changsheng Battalion are already very experienced in cooking horse meat, and the taste is not much worse than beef.
Soon, as the horse meat was cooked, the firefighters picked up a large spoon and put pieces of tempting red and black horse meat into each soldier's bowl.
These horse meats were divided before they were put into the pot, more than a pound of raw meat, after cooking, about eight or nine taels, plus broth, side dishes, and steamed buns, enough for every soldier to eat and drink well.
Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, and Zhang Pan also followed the soldiers to eat, and they all had the same weight as the soldiers.
This has long been a common practice in Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, but Zhang Pan's side, including Zhang Pan himself, is still a little unaccustomed.
But Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong are both like this, and he can't say anything.
When the meal arrived, the soldiers, according to their respective formations, gathered together and munched on it.
Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, and Zhang Pan were in a secluded place on the side, carefully discussing the strategy of attack.
At this time, although the sentinels of the Ming army were confined to Fuzhou City, the view was very good in the afternoon, and Li Yuanqing and the three of them had already explored the direction of the main force of the Houjin army.
It's near the hill not far to the east.
Huang Taiji chose this hill to observe Fuzhou City, but everything was relative, and Li Yuanqing and the three of them could also see them on the top of the city.
This is mainly due to the limitations of the communication conditions of this era, and the main general's communication with the soldiers in wartime depends on the flag language.
On the side of the city, you can clearly see the white flag, the red flag, the blue flag of the Houjin Army, and the royal flag inlaid with the red flag, all on this hill.
At this time, the water has not completely dissipated, and it is now evening, but these royal flags have not left, which shows that Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai, Dai Shan, Yue Tuo, these Houjin nobles, are still on the top of the mountain.
"Yuanqing, you say, what should we do?"
Zhang Pan's eyes were full of fine light, and the delicious horse meat in the bowl couldn't attract his attention, so he actually looked at Li Yuanqing.
The situation is clear.
If the three departments can touch the past at night, go straight to the hill, and serve these Houjin nobles in one pot, his failure in Jinzhou and Lushun can be reversed at once, plus Mao Wenlong's strength, restore vitality, and even surpass the glory of the past, it is not a dream.
Li Yuanqing chewed a piece of horse meat vigorously and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, there is no hurry at this time. If nothing else, they should choose to spend the night in the mountains. Let's wait until the second half of the night. Here, you still need to prepare. ”
Although Zhang Pan was anxious, he also understood that this matter was in a hurry, so he could only endure his temperament, chew the horse meat hard, and stabilize his emotions.
Next to him, Chen Zhong had already become accustomed to it.
He was used to this kind of life of licking blood from the knife edge, his heart was dozens of times harder than ordinary people, and he said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, don't panic, if you want to win the battle, we have to eat and drink enough first." With the help of such water, the dog can't run. ”
…………
Night is falling.
Maybe it's because of the water, and the weather is a little wet and cold.
On the hill east of Fuzhou City, piles of vigorous bonfires were lit.
Huang Taiji has already made a decision, although this result is difficult for everyone to accept, but for now, this is the best result.
At the very least, he will carry the big head, and everyone's responsibility will be much smaller.
It's just that the wine and roasted lamb that were originally used to celebrate the success are now useless.
Huang Taiji didn't have the appetite to eat at all, so he went to his tent early to meditate.
Mang Gurtai also felt that this little lamb was a little unlucky, and he was not willing to eat it, so he gave it to Daishan father and son.
In the great tent of goodness.
The second son of Daizen, Shuoto, picked a piece of fat lamb with a dagger, put it in his mouth, and chewed vigorously.
Although the taste was as delicious as in the past, for a moment, Shuo Tuo couldn't help but spit it out vigorously, "Li Yuanqing's despicable mud should be cut with a thousand cuts." Dog offal, Lao Tzu doesn't feel fragrant when he eats meat. ”
Next to him, Dai Shan glanced at Shuo Tuo dissatisfied, this second child. It's almost thirty, but it's still like a child? I can't hold my breath at all.
On the side, Yue Tuo ignored Shuotuo and said to Dai Shan: "Ama, although the eighth child is willing to resist the guilt, but the battle in southern Liaoning has been in vain, the child is worried, and the grandfather of Khan is ......."
Although Yue Tuo didn't finish speaking, how could Dai Shan not understand what his eldest son meant?
Dai Shan picked a small piece of mutton, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and after a while, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, "This matter is not only the responsibility of the eighth child, but I also have a great responsibility." When I go back to Shenyang, I will ask Khan Ama for my guilt. ”
Yue Tuo saw that he Ama understood the truth, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and also put his mind at ease, "Amma, Li Yuanqing has already become a person, if you can't get rid of it as soon as possible, I am afraid that I will suffer a big loss." ”
Dai Shan nodded silently, how could he not see the truth clearly?
After slowly tasting a sip of wine, Dai Shan said slowly: "Fuzhou City is solid, and the flood can't help it, what can we do?" Boss, you have been smart since you were a child, you must know that a man's husband, sometimes, you should be able to take it and put it down. Taking a step back at this time does not mean that we will admit defeat, but for the sake of winning back better tomorrow. ”
Yue Tuo nodded heavily, and said respectfully: "Amma's teachings, my son understands." ”
On the side, Shuo Tuo saw that the boss and the old man were chatting so hotly, he couldn't interject at all, his heart became more and more annoyed, and he whispered: "What's the big deal?" Isn't it just a Han Chinese? You wait, sooner or later, one day, the second master, I will personally slash Li Yuanqing, the thief, so that you can all open your eyes and see the second master's ability. ”
Thinking about it, he picked up a pot of wine and said to Daishan and Yue: "Amma, eldest brother, it's too stuffy in the tent, I'll go out to breathe." ”
Dai Shan nodded, "Go ahead." Come back early and rest. Tomorrow morning, we'll be on our way back. ”
"Got it, Amma. I'll go back as soon as I go. ”
Shuoto walked out of the tent impatiently.
