In terms of strategy, it was decided by Emperor Chongzhen. His decision, either arbitrary decision, or held a military joint meeting of the Ming Dynasty, or after hearing the opinions of several front-line generals and commanders, came to the conclusion. But as small as war, Emperor Chongzhen did not worry about how to fight, but was decided by the leading generals themselves.

Due to the existence of a chat group system, all Ming troops were equipped with "human-shaped radios", so Lu Xiangsheng not only knew the whereabouts of the Qing Dynasty's grain protection team, but also knew the situation of his own army clearly.

After Lu Xiangsheng completed the overall situation, he decided to set the battlefield between Zhenjiang Fort and Tangzhan Fort. In fact, he didn't have many choices. The Qing reinforcements in Liaodong set out first than the second batch of Haizhou's troops, and the journey from both sides to North Korea was similar. If the Ming army forcibly marched to North Korea, it would be a bit unrealistic to fight the Qing Dynasty's grain protection team. And at that time, we had to guard against the Liaodong-responsive army to bump into the battlefield.

If the Liaodong reinforcements received the grain protection team, Duoduo would have less worries to lead the troops back. Although the Qing Dynasty had stationed more troops on the road from Liaodong to North Korea, it would be more difficult to fight accordingly. However, as long as the battle could be resolved in time, even if the Qing army came to assist, it would not be afraid.

After choosing the battlefield, Lu Xiangsheng led two troops to join, no longer sent him to stop taking them at night, and minimized the traces of the Ming army, just as if the Ming Dynasty did not know about the delivery of food in the Qing Dynasty, and there was no idea of ​​this food.

One day, two days, three days... At the beginning, especially when he arrived at a place where people were rarely visited in northern Korea, Duoduo was extremely nervous. Even if he took comprehensive precautions when camping at night, he would sometimes wake up from his dreams. Walking on the road, he heard the "rattle" sound of the forests on both sides of the official road blew through the forests, and he would also suspect that there was someone hidden inside. Ajig was nervous at the beginning, but later he became numb, and later he became a little disdainful of Duoduo's suspicion.

At this time, the two Qing Dynasty leaders showed different attitudes.

The less I saw the movements of the Ming army, the tighter Duoduo's nerves jumped, like a spring, the tighter the more I pressed, and I always felt that the Ming army was about to appear. But Ajige was getting more and more relaxed. Where was the Ming army? It was impossible for the Ming army to appear!

On this day, when the grain protection team arrived at Xinyiju on the Yalu River, the Liaodong reinforcements who came to welcome also arrived here, and both sides could be said to have a successful meeting. It was not until this time that Duoduo's nerves relaxed. He felt very tired after relaxing. He didn't go politely and rested by himself, preparing to return to Seoul.

The leader of the reinforcements was Shumulu Yangguli. He was in his sixties at this time, but he was still stronger and it was no problem to lead the army to fight. In this period of history, he led his troops to attack Daming Pass with Ajige and Abatai during this period, and captured 12 prefectures and counties in the Kinmen area. He won all 58 battles and captured more than 100,000 people and returned. However, his luck was that when he followed Huang Taiji to attack North Korea, he was ambushed by the Korean army and eventually died of serious injuries. He was posthumously named King of Wuxun by Huang Taiji.

The reason why Huang Taiji sent him here was because he was a founding hero of the Qing Dynasty and was very serious. This batch of food and supplies was too important, so he was a little worried about Ajige's youth, so he sent Yangguli to match it.

Sure enough, when he heard Azig mocking Dodo in front of him, he advised him: "Master Bell, be careful, there is no big mistake. No matter what, it is best to send this batch of food security to Chenyang."

Yangguli's official position at this time was still one level lower than that of Beller, but his wife was the daughter of Wild Boar Skin, and she was Ajige's brother-in-law and a veteran. It was nothing to persuade him.

Ajig didn't expect that he would not cooperate and had an unhappy relationship. He was too lazy to like Yangguli and went to rest by himself.

A day later, on the far side of the mountain outside the city of Xinyiju, Li Deming saw Duoduo leading his troops out of the city through a telescope, and immediately sent the news to the group: Duoduo leading his troops back to Seoul!”

Not long after, he sent another message: "The grain protection army also began to leave the city and set out for Liaodong."

After saying that, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, put down his telescope, and said to his companions around him: "Okay, our mission has been completed. Have a good rest. After Lu Zhongcheng notified us, we can return to Jinzhou."

The reason why they don’t have to follow here is that if they follow again, they will be able to cross the Yalu River, which will easily be discovered by the Qing army. Moreover, after crossing the Yalu River, this grain protection team will definitely go to Zhenjiang Fort to rest and go to Tangzhan Fort to rest the next day, otherwise they will have to camp in the wild, which will not only be painful but also unsafe!

The two thousand cavalry led by Lu Xiangsheng, as well as the two thousand infantry troops that Cao Bianjiao later arrived, were hiding on the mountain on the scheduled battlefield. They had never sent a night to stop. It was not until after receiving the news from Li Deming that Lu Xiangsheng asked Gao Yingyuan to climb to the top of the mountain to monitor the movements on the official road at the foot of the mountain.

As expected in advance, the Qing Dynasty grain protection team had already arrived at Zhenjiang Fort when about an hour before evening. Ajige looked at the sky and felt that it was still early, so he wanted to lead the army and continue walking for a while. But Yangguli immediately advised safety first.

After hearing this, Ajige was a little helpless and had to rest in Zhenjiang Castle. However, it was not over yet. Yangguli continued to nag and asked Ajige to send a horse to investigate the official roads before and after.

At this time, Ajige was a little impatient and said to Yangguli: "This place is only one day away from Tangzhan Fort. The Ming army would only rob food on this road if they were looking for death. Besides, the more dangerous and more deserted places have not appeared on the way, and there will be no more here!"

"Master Beile, be careful, there is no big mistake!" Yangguli continued to advise, "Send a visitor, and there is no need to spend too much supplies. Before leaving, the emperor repeatedly told him to ensure the safety of this batch of food and grass supplies. Whether Liaodong can survive this year and whether it will recover next year depends entirely on this batch of food and grass supplies..."

Hearing that he moved out Huang Taiji again to suppress him, although he was annoyed, he had no choice. So, between Zhenjiang Fort and Tangzhan Fort, the Qing Dynasty began to explore horses, and there was a constant flow of exchanges. As long as the traces of the Ming army were found on this road, the news could be immediately transmitted to Zhenjiang Fort and Tangzhan Fort.

On Lu Xiangsheng's side, when Gao Yingyuan reported the abnormal situation on the official road, he knew that the grain protection team was not far from here. So, the military order was passed down and he began to prepare for the battle.

After the military order was issued, he said to Cao Bianjiao: "Whether you can attack the Qing army this time, the key is to depend on your new army!"

His own cavalry camp was only 800 in total. As for the infantry of the Dongjiang Army, it is now used in field battles and actively attacking the Jurchen elites and being able to defeat them, it is still a bit difficult. Therefore, it was not sent out this time.

Among the Ming army sent out by the 4,000 Ming army, in addition to the Cavalry Camp, there were also 500 elite Guanning Cavalry, the other cavalry and infantry were all from the New Army. Therefore, this army used to fight against the Qing Dynasty was mainly based on the New Army.

"Don't worry, Lord Zhongcheng, the new army trained by the emperor is to fight in the field and win the battle." Feng Dehua, the division chief, smiled and said with a smile before Cao Bianjiao said, "There is no problem to deal with these Jianlu!"

Cao Bianjiao also nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Zhongcheng, the general led the army to fight and would definitely defeat the enemy as soon as possible. The elite Jurchens are also humans, and their morale is premature ejaculation. They are no longer the army that could rush to attack when they saw the Ming army!"

Seeing that both of them were full of confidence, Lu Xiangsheng was very satisfied. At the same time, he was a little envious. He had witnessed the military discipline and combat effectiveness of the new army with his own eyes. Commanding such an army is really the wish of every leader!

The next morning, the city gate of Zhenjiang Fort opened, and teams of horses roared out and headed towards Tangzhan Fort along the official road. At the same time, on the Tangzhan Fort, the horses who stayed here last night also roared towards Zhenjiang Fort. On the official road, a few quarters of an hour, you can see a group of Qing Dynasty horses roaring past like a thief.

In fact, these horse explorations were much faster. When they were in North Korea, these Qing Dynasty horse explorations were all the way, looking around on the road, walking very slowly, and at the same time they were very alert. Any movements on both sides of the road were verified.

They naturally knew that when the Ming army ambushed the grain transport team in the past, they would dig holes or set up obstacles on the official road, and they would choose a place in a surrounding area where the Qing army could rescue in time. But now this section of the road is different from the previous situation. No matter how the Ming army is, it is impossible to set up an ambush here!

Walking all the way from Seoul, there was never a trace of the Ming army, and even the Ming army didn't find any of them at night. They were a little careless and the speed on the road was much faster. If the Ming army had the idea of ​​making these foods, at least they would find the trace of the night.

"After all, Lord Yangguli is older and his courage has become smaller. He insists on urging our master to send us out!" A snare looked around a little boredly, urging the horse to go quickly, and said to his accomplices.

Obviously, this group of slingers are all from Ajig and have opinions about Yanguli. Hearing him speak, another slinger said with a smile: "Forget it, at least we can have a full meal first, which is worth it!"

"Yes, if you don't go on a mission, you'll be hungry. Look, I've lost a lot of weight!" The third Qing Dynasty detective also sighed, and even patted his thighs and said.

Hearing his words, the other Qing Dynasty horses could not help but feel the same, and they all said that they had lost a lot of weight. These Qing Dynasty horses were mainly joking, and while walking along the official road to the ground, they had completed the task.

When the first batch of Qing scattered horses from Tangzhanbao arrived at Zhenjiangbao and said that there was no accident on the way, Ajige said to Yangguli in a provocative tone: "How can you hurry up, right? We will spend more food on the road for one day! If the food brought back to Shenyang is less, the emperor will be unhappy!"

"Be careful, no big mistake!" Yangguli insisted, but there was no reason to stop him at this time. After saying this, he nodded and said, "Nothing is the best."

After hearing this, Ajige was a little too lazy to pay attention to him. An old man, who was old and had long lost his courage when he was young. He would die early and waste the food of the Qing Dynasty alive.

Thinking of this in his heart, he ordered to set off.

For a moment, the grain protection army, which had been impatient, carried trucks of food supplies, and in the envious eyes of the defenders of Zhenjiang Fort, they came out one after another, forming a long snake, along the official road, heading towards Tangzhan Fort.

The originally deserted Liaodong official road became popular and the sound of horse hooves sounded from time to time, and the dust brought by the food protection army could be seen from afar.

Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, saw the movement from afar, and asked Wei Mulan next to him again: "Contact North Korea, do you have any signs of returning that the thousand troops that have seen too many are back?"

Wei Mulan immediately agreed after hearing this, and then entered the chat group to ask Li Deming. After a while, she withdrew and said, "The Duoduo army has not seen each other since they returned to Seoul yesterday, and they should not return suddenly."

The ambushing of this grain protection team, whether it is Tangzhanbao or Zhenjiangbao, is not worth worrying about. After all, the army in such places is probably hungry every day. Even if it comes out for reinforcements, it is not much different from giving away heads. The only thing to worry about is the army of Duoduo, which are all Jurchen elites, and they have full food every day along the way, and they still have combat power.

Everything was confirmed and Lu Xiangsheng made a decision. Looking at the generals around him, he ordered with a serious expression: "Advance according to the prior arrangement!"

"I will obey the order!" After hearing this, Cao Bianjiao and others immediately clasped their fists with their hands, with a hint of excitement and high morale, responding loudly.

Sitting on the official road while walking slowly, Ajige turned around and looked down at the road, and could no longer see Zhenjiang Fort behind him. He looked at the long list of grain trucks back and forth, and felt proud. The emperor had explained to him that the more food he brought back from Seoul, the greater his contribution.

What made him happy was that Dorgon did not make much embarrassment and really gave a lot of food. Along the way, except for those days, Ajige gave his troops full of food, at other times, he thought about bringing more food back to Liaoyang, so he reduced the supply of food for the Han army.

After reaching Xinyiju, Ajig saw that it was "safe", so he reduced the supply of his tribesmen, only about two-thirds of the previous ones. Even the thousand troops brought by Yangguli did not supply them in sufficient supply. This army was used to hunger in Liaodong, and even if they were given less, they were actually grateful. It was really funny. Only the horses who were running back and forth did not reduce their weight.

Now, looking at the food in this car, Ajige smiled on his face. This time he returned to Shenyang, the food he brought back would definitely surprise the emperor. Haha, some people have always felt that they were simple-minded. This time, they were to prove to others that who was simple-minded!
Chapter completed!
