Chapter 158 The old mountains and rivers

After listening carefully to Fan Wencheng's suggestions, Yuetuo and Du Du sent a large number of scouts to search and advance to Lantian City.

However, the effect was not good, and things deviated from the expectations of Yuetuo, Du Du and others, and after the scouts heard a series of news.

Yuetuo and Du Du were surprised to find that the surrounding area of ​​Lantian City had become another Liaodong.

The fortresses are densely packed here, beacon towers are guarding each other, and there are tunnel connections between each fortress. After breaking through a little, the enemy will retreat. After waiting for their army to advance, the enemy will appear behind them and form a siege against them.

Not only that, the Mongols here were not willing to cooperate with the Qing army to fight. On the contrary, they had already escaped far before summer came.

Last winter, the Mongolian princes and princes were deceived into invading Datong Prefecture. The Mongolian princes and princes and princes of Xuanfu were not seen at all this time.

Some people went to Qinghai, while others went to the far north.

At this point, it was no longer something that Yue Tuo and Du Du could control, so they wrote a letter to Huang Taiji to explain the complexity of the situation in the Naturalized City.

While asking the emperor to give greater help to Zhangjiakou.

However, the aid mentioned by Yuetuo and Dudu only refer to military rations and military equipment. As for the army, they do not give any hope.

There were not many Qing army itself, and the entire army belonging to the Enanguinong Red Flag was here, so Shengjing could not give more reinforcements.

Fan Wencheng said it very clearly that the only purpose of Yun Zhao's victory over the border was to obtain national justice.

The Qing Dynasty was an enemy and a mortal enemy to any Ming Dynasty person!

When others are busy fighting for power and profit at home and robbing territory, Lantian County is fighting against the nation's mortal enemy in the frontier, which can greatly enhance the pride of the soldiers and thus burst out with unprecedented fighting enthusiasm.

When such an army has established its own army soul, it is natural to turn back and clean up the old mountains and rivers.

Fan Wencheng is right.

That's what Yun Zhao thought.

The late Ming Dynasty was very similar to a certain era in his previous life.

These are all good methods verified by the sages, how could Yun Zhao not use it?

The Qing Dynasty was a foreign enemy. As for the court, when fighting with other bandits, the first priority choice was naturally the Qing Dynasty.

If Yun Zhao's troops leave Lantian now, they will soon be able to destroy Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong, and others, which will allow the Ming Dynasty to continue to survive.

However, Yun Zhao believed that not resolving the main contradictions in society would only aggravate the suffering of the people.

Revolution is what the people of the Ming Dynasty need and the ultimate choice to solve the problem.

It’s no big deal to fight with your family behind closed doors, and it’s not a bad thing no matter who has the upper hand.

Anyway, having such a fight will be beneficial to social reform after all.

With a solid and lonely city like Lantian City, the Qing Dynasty could not have the intention to harm the people of the Central Plains. If you want to harm, you could only enter Beijing from Liaodong.

Therefore, Yun Zhao drew a vertical line on the map, and to the left of the vertical line is the place that Lantian County needs to expand in the next few years.

On the right side of the vertical line, I can only let it go.

Strength is the touchstone that determines the size of ambition.

According to Yun Zhao's plan, the three places of Lantian City, Datong Prefecture and Xuan Prefecture are to form an iron triangle.

With the development speed of Lantian County, after Lu Xiangsheng violated the order of the king and pursued the Qing army, the consequences of Zhang Guozhu and the others could easily and happily penetrate Datong Prefecture and Xuanfu. They were very experienced in this kind of thing.

The war that was thought to break out soon was still quiet until the fifth day of May.

Yuetuo and Dudu's army were still stationed outside Zhangjiakou, and they even scattered their serfs into the fields to cultivate the abandoned fields.

At this time, the wheat outside Zhangjiakou City was more than one foot high and would mature in another month. Yuetuo and Dudu seemed to have plans to stay in Zhangjiakou for a long time.

Li Dingguo's cavalry ran in the wheat fields, and they did not care about the wheat in the fields. If this was in Lantian County, galloping on horseback in the wheat fields would be a serious crime.

A small group of Qing cavalry came up fearlessly. Under the serfs' gaze, two cavalrymen with no more than a hundred men collided fiercely.

The guns are roaring, the sabers are colliding, the feather arrows are flying, and the war horses are neighing!

Cavalry battles can never be supported for too long. When the last Qing cavalry was smashed by a pistol and dragged into the distance by a frightened war horse, a guy who looked very much like Fan San shouted at the shocked serfs in the field: "Run quickly..."

Then, the farmers scattered in the fields chased Fan San and ran to the hilly areas in the distance.

Such things happen almost every day. Sometimes it was Li Dingguo attacking, and sometimes it was Lu Xiangsheng attacking. Under the frequent harassment of the Ming army, Du Du ordered that serfs should not be placed ten miles away from the camp.

Fan Sanpao's intestines were about to break. He regretted why he had to pay a little money for gold. Every time this young master rewarded him with some silver or gold, there were serious consequences for him to do.

Sometimes he didn't understand. Those people were watching two cavalry fighting, and no one was guarding them at this time. If they didn't shout, they wouldn't know that there was still something about running away in this world.

Fan San looked at the serfs captured by the Qing cavalry and were led into the hilly mountains by some men in green. They could leave, but Fan San could not.

After all, he still has a big green mule for transportation...

Lu Xiangsheng has now lost his graceful and luxurious appearance. His beards and weeds on his face cover his face, and his eyes, like cold stars, have become a little cloudy now.

Yun Zhao poured Lu Xiangsheng a cup of tea, watched him drink a whole pot, and asked someone to prepare meals.

Lu Xiangsheng had no interest in the meat in front of him, and he seemed to prefer white rice.

"Why don't you go back to Xuanfu or Datongfu?"

Yun Zhao looked at Lu Xiangsheng for a while before asking softly.

"None of the people who were plundered went home, what home should I go?"

"Why don't you come from Xuanfu and Datong to mobilize troops? In your current situation, you have run out of ammunition and food.

Also, why do you always have no ammunition or food?"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Yun Zhao and said, "I can mobilize the Tianxiong Army as the subordinates. The officers and soldiers from Datong and Xuanfu are responsible for guarding the border, and cannot be mobilized.

As for why I always run out of ammunition and food, it is because I am always fighting.”

Yun Zhao thought for a while and said, "What impact will the establishment of Lantian City have on you?"

Lu Xiangsheng put down the chopsticks in his hand, stared at Yun Zhao's eyes and said, "Guihua City originally belonged to the third lady of the Ming Dynasty, but was later seized by Mongolia. In the eyes of a certain family, it still belonged to the Ming Dynasty."

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "Lantian County is also belonging to the Ming Dynasty."

Lu Xiangsheng's face bulged with blue veins, Gaba cut off the chopsticks in his hand, and punched the table with a heavy punch and said, "You are plotting against Datong and Xuanfu!"

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "The military purpose of establishing Lantian City is to insert a knife into one of Jiannu's legs so that they can no longer enter and exit the Central Plains from Zhangjiakou area as they wish."

"You want to travel in my Xuanfu, Datong, the old things about your Lantian County in Guanzhong."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "If you can manage and manage these two places well, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and make the army invincible, even the gods and immortals can't take Datong and Xuanfu away from you."

Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a while, lowered his head and said, "I will lose the position of Governor General Xuanda this time."

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "Because of something in Shandong?"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Originally, we agreed to leave the 100,000 Qing people in Shandong at the cost of erosion..."

Yun Zhao said: "Li Hongji made trouble in Kaifeng and made a comeback, and all your efforts were in vain."

Lu Xiangsheng sighed and said, "I was not the only one with Hong Chengchou in the Ming Dynasty. Sun Chuanting and the other three could fight. Li Hongji was born in a chaotic era and had an unstable foundation. The court only needed to send an important minister to take charge of Henan and manage the Henan army to trap Li Hongji in Henan, gather and annihilate him.

Unfortunately, the generals of the court were afraid of the enemy as if they were like tigers. Li Hongji made them extremely frightened. Without Dorgon in the encirclement, the court had already helped him disperse the encirclement we had formed.

In this way, the sufferings suffered by the people of Shandong are completely meaningless, and I, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, have become thieves who harm the people.

Lu Xiangsheng was ashamed. If the people of Shandong could not be taken back from Jiannu, I would die with my eyes open!"

After saying that, he picked up his job and continued to eat.

"If you die in battle, I will immediately take down Xuanfu and Datong and find two reliable fulcrums for Lantian City."

Lu Xiangsheng lowered his head and said, "You are an official of the Ming Dynasty."

Yun Zhao said: "It is because I am an official of the Ming Dynasty that I do this."

Lu Xiangsheng said: "In this way, Yun Zhao will be the one who disrupts the world!"

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. This world is not the world of Zhu Ming's family, but the world of the people of the world.

Since Zhu Ming has collected taxes from the people but cannot give them a stable living environment, it would be nice to change someone else.

Since you are not in Xuanda, you know why I took Xuanda? I don’t want to let more than 100,000 people in Lantian City be attacked from all sides."

After hearing these words, Lu Xiangsheng was not angry. He raised his head and looked at Yun Zhao with a burning gaze and said, "You are competing for the importance of the throne."

Yun Zhao smiled faintly and said, "I have no objection to being the emperor in the future."

Lu Xiangsheng showed a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Your subordinates will kill me and get you into that position."

Yun Zhao laughed and said, "This is very possible."

After Lu Xiangsheng finished his meal, he wiped his mouth boldly with his worn sleeves, grabbed his sword and stood up, "Please ask you to make the attacks of your subordinates more fiercely. I want to go to Yuetuo Camp within ten miles."

Yun Zhao frowned and said, "You are seeking death."

Lu Xiangsheng chuckled softly and said, "If you are not loyal to your ministers and are not kind to your officials, you should have died long ago."

Yun Zhao watched Lu Xiangsheng leave the military tent and shouted: "Life well, only by living can you see the beautiful scenery of the future."

Lu Xiangsheng's voice came from afar: "I am an old man. I am used to seeing the beautiful scenery of the old mountains and rivers and the sunrise. I let the new man see it. I will grow old with the sunset, which is also a beautiful story."
