Linzi City, Xu Shiji's face was pale, kneeling on the ground, his head was lowered, there was no sound in the hall, Cui Mingan was sitting on the side, but Dou Ji'an was sitting on his hands.

"Mao Gong, you're too careless this time." Dou Ji'an's voice was still soft, and he glanced at Xu Shiji regretfully, and then said, "Get up!" Hehe, hit it again, don't say it's you, even if it's me, I'll be fooled. Li Xin's subordinates have so many talents! One Cheng Biting Jin has such ability, let alone others. ”

"The end will be guilty." Xu Shiji's voice was still full of unwillingness, tens of thousands of troops were defeated in his own hands, and it was impossible if he didn't have a little idea in his heart.

"Yes, sixty or seventy thousand soldiers, only two or three out of ten can return, hey! Mao Gong! This is a lesson! Cui Mingan said with some dissatisfaction. He can't help but be like this, those sixty or seventy thousand people are all private soldiers of the Shandong family, and now they have been almost defeated by Xu Shiji, and only one or two thousand people have returned, what can these people do, the strength of the Shandong family is probably weakened a lot. He glanced at Dou Ji'an above, and thought in his heart, this person is so calm, maybe there is also an idea of weakening the Shandong family within the imperial court!

"Mao Gong, Cheng Biting Jin won a big victory this time, there is news that he did not go to Caozhou, and continued to the east, I am afraid that he went to pick up Qin Qiong. You'd better stay! The cavalry of Youzhou will arrive tomorrow, and you will command the cavalry of Youzhou. Dou Ji'an thought for a while and said.

"Gongzi Xie." Xu Shiji was completely moved by Dou Ji'an at this time, even if he suffered defeat, Dou Ji'an had not abandoned himself and let himself lead the powerful Youzhou cavalry, how could he not serve him!

"Mao Gong, where do you say Qin Qiong will land?" Dou Ji'an beckoned Xu Shiji and said: "Shandong is close to the sea, these long coastlines will be our biggest enemy, Qin Qiong can land anywhere, but it is most likely Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Langya." There is also Ju County. ”

"Gongzi has defenses in Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Juxian, but not in Langya, but you think Qin Qiong will land in Langya?" Xu Shiji glanced at the map, and saw that the map was full of flags, Dengzhou, Laizhou and Juxian, but Langya did not. I couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, Qin Qiong has traveled a long way, and there is not much grain and grass on his body, only by attacking Langya can he quickly seize the grain and grass. Langya is a transit point for those maritime merchants in Shandong. These guys who are not afraid of death have hoarded a lot of goods there, and it is very likely that Qin Qiong will land there. As soon as he lands there, the soldiers and horses around us can quickly press on him. Dou Ji'an said: "The king of Xiangyi County has led 30,000 elites to wait in Langya, Mao Gong, just waiting for your 30,000 cavalry to be in place, and the 20,000 people you brought today, I will also hand them over to you, go to Langya to prove yourself." ”

"Childe. The last general thought that he didn't have to do anything to Langya for the time being. Xu Shiji glanced at the map and said, "Childe, we don't know where Qin Qiong landed. Attacking too early will only expose our intentions. Our soldiers and horses should be stationed here, Gaomi County, so that no matter where Qin Qiong lands, we can react quickly. And the end will think. Qin Qiong will not land in the east, he will only be in the middle, so that he can quickly join up with Cheng Yanjin. ”

"It seems that Mao Gong has already studied it. It's best that way. After Dou Ji'an listened, not only did he not have any displeasure in his words, but his voice became more cordial, and said: "In this way, I will rest assured, the Youzhou Iron Horse will be handed over to you, and maybe it can bring me greater results." ”

"The last general will definitely not live up to the trust of the son, and will definitely bring the heads of Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong to the son." Xu Shiji said through some gritted teeth. There was anger in his eyes, especially Cheng Biting Jin, even if he was defeated in the hands of Li Xin, at least he was the emperor, and no one would say anything if he was defeated, but if he was defeated in the hands of Cheng Biting Jin, it was a little too much to say, I am afraid that at this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are laughing at themselves. Xu Shiji decided to take revenge, so he started with Cheng Biting Jin.

"The general can't be angry and raise a division, whether it is Cheng Biting Jin or the upcoming Qin Qiong, he is not a simple character, Qin Qiong led an army of 100,000 and crossed the sea to attack, how can he be a simple person. If the general didn't have a calm and composed heart, how could he face Qin Qiong's army of 100,000. Dou Ji'an admonished: "This battle is not only related to Shandong, but also to the world." If Li Xin occupies Shandong again, I am afraid that it will be almost impossible for our Great Zhao to achieve greater victories in the future. ”

Dou Ji'an knew that the army used this time was almost Li Yuan's family background, and now the tens of thousands of troops who got rid of Taiyuan have not been dispatched, that is, the tens of thousands of troops who have kept Xindu, and there are almost 200,000 troops on the entire ground in Shandong.

"The last will understand." Xu Shiji said loudly.

"Let's go after Cheng Biting Jin! As for Zhucheng, this son will make arrangements. Dou Ji'an let Xu Shiji retreat.

"Childe, isn't it too big a fuss for tens of thousands of cavalry to attack Cheng Jin's tens of thousands of horses?" Cui Mingan said a little unwillingly: "If tens of thousands of troops can forcibly attack when Qin Qiong lands, they will definitely be able to defeat Qin Qiong and drive them into the sea." ”

"Qin Qiong is not so easy to mess with, it has been so long now, and Qin Qiong has not shown up, which shows that the other party is cautious and is looking for a suitable landing place. So we can't underestimate the other party, Xu Shiji is right, since we don't know where Qin Qiong will land, but we know that Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong must be connected, follow Cheng Yanjin, you can find Qin Qiong, and then we can start. Dou Ji'an looked at Xu Shiji's back and said: "So I think what Xu Shiji said is correct, the place in Zhucheng is very close to the sea, if Qin Qiong lands nearby, we can just besiege him there, if he lands from Denglai, it will be the best, the Jiaolai River will be the place where we will fight the decisive battle, and it is absolutely impossible for him to go west and unite with Li Xin." ”

"Who is stationed in the cities?" Cui Mingan asked again.

"I'll do it myself." Dou Ji'an said without thinking: "In the future, my big camp will be in Zhucheng, Lord Cui, the military grain and grass still need to be prepared by adults." ”

"This is natural." Cui Mingan said without thinking.

"Also, the family's private soldiers and family members should all contribute!" Seeing what Cui Mingan wanted to say, Dou Ji'an waved his hand and said, "This time, this batch of soldiers and horses." I'm in charge myself, what do you think? ”

"Since Childe leads, it's naturally possible." Cui Mingan wanted to object, but he could only take back his words, since it was the person in front of him who led the troops, he naturally would not be as unreliable as Xu Shiji.

Although the news of Xu Shiji's defeat was suppressed by Dou Ji'an, it still has a deep impact in Shandong, at least one person has been fulfilled, that is, Cheng Yanjin, this guy has broken away from the category of fierce generals, and actually entered the ranks of famous generals, and the tens of thousands of troops he led appeared from Zou County and killed the past to the east, perhaps because of his martial arts, or because of his reputation, wherever the army went, many counties opened their city gates to welcome the arrival of Cheng Biting Jin.

"It's really boring, sir, where are you going next?" Cheng Yanjin rode a war horse and said a little indifferently: "I don't know what Xu Shiji is doing at this time?" Why hasn't there been any movement at all so far? ”

"There is no movement when there is movement. The last general heard that Li Zhao had brought tens of thousands of cavalry, and these cavalry were behind us if they didn't get it right, and as long as we were not careful, these cavalry would rush up and crush us. Zhuge Sheng said with a straight face.

"Jinyiwei has gotten the news?" Cheng Yanjin was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but say in surprise.

"It is Xu Shiji who is the leader." Zhuge Sheng touched his beard and said: "The news from Jinyiwei says that Xu Shiji is only two days away from us, and this journey is a bit interesting!" Didn't the general find it a little strange? ”

"Two days, that's not near or far! What is he trying to do? Cheng Yanjin also asked curiously: "If you want to attack us, it is dozens of miles away from us, which makes us nervous, and the army may have to stop, even if it is an ordinary city, you don't dare to attack!" Why are there only two days? ”

"It's just looking for General Qin Qiong's location." Zhuge Sheng said with a smile: "Don't forget, General Qin Qiong hasn't come forward yet!" The coastline is so long, and it is impossible for Li Zhao's army to have troops to defend in every place, Xu Shiji's cavalry is to use us to find the location of General Qin, and then use cavalry to delay the attack speed of General Qin's 100,000 army, drag us down, so that Li Zhao has time to react. ”

"I see, but how should we be?" Cheng Yanjin's face changed after hearing this, isn't what he wants to do now is to take Qin Qiong's army ashore? If this is the case, being dragged by Xu Shiji's 30,000 cavalry, Li Zhao's other soldiers and horses will definitely swarm in, making Qin Qiong lose the role of a surprise attack.

"Since you are willing to follow, then follow, the general will not think that without the general's response, General Qin Qiong will not be able to land!" Zhuge Sheng said with a smile.

"Of course not, Uncle Bao's talent is far above me, I'm afraid he has already landed at this time." Cheng Yanjin shook his head and said: "Let's go to Gaomi first, only to kill Gaomi, Xu Shiji's army follows us, let him eat ashes, and when he reacts, Shubao has already landed in Ju County, and when he kills again, we will kill again." It's our turn to hold them back. Cheng Biting Jin laughed, like a fox. (To be continued.) )
