Huang Yi was a military attache under Governor Xuanda, and he was Geng Ruxi's prospective son-in-law. Even Xuanda did not contribute a little bit to the base city.
Once the construction is successful, it will definitely be regarded as Governor Xuan's expansion of 200 miles of land for the Ming Dynasty.
The key is to hold on.
Guarding is very important, and guarding without people is definitely not possible.
Therefore, Geng Ruqi became more proactive in helping Huang Yi increase the population, and at this time he was already willing to pay some food at the expense of others.
Geng Ruqi wanted to meet Huang Yi and talk to Huang Yi about his plans.
It was completely unexpected that Huang Yi would deliberately not meet.
Geng Zhanghua didn't know his father's mood, so he quickly advised Huang Yi: "We can't just leave like this, we should go to the Chinese Army to meet all the adults!"
"No, didn't we agree not to recommend any civil servants or military officers who are higher than me?"
"This time is different, it's my father who wants to see you!"
"If you don't go, you have to kneel down if you go."
"You don't have to kneel down!"
"Only a ghost can believe you. I'm not stupid. Just like you, your father can sell me with just a grunt. Then there's no way he could care about whether I turn into a kowtowing bug."
Geng Zhanghua became anxious and said angrily: "How many times will you die if you kowtow?"
"Why should I hurry up and kowtow? I've already walked more than ten miles in this time. Stop talking nonsense. All the cavalrymen should pack half a month's worth of food and horse supplies and set off immediately!"
"You are unreasonable!"
It didn't matter whether Huang Yi was unreasonable or not. He was determined not to be a kowtowing bug. He jumped on his horse and turned around and said:
"Let me remind you, if you go late, you really won't get anything out of it, and your work will be in vain.
I'll take the first step with my troops, and you can follow me when you figure it out.
If you don't follow me, I will fight. At worst, I will choose a group of troops from the Hou Jin army that is not larger than my troops to attack. "
Forehead! Huang Yi only led thirty-six cavalry to get more than two hundred beheads and returned with a great victory. This time he brought four hundred men and horses to attack and kill the Jin army in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.
Will definitely win again!
Seeing that Huang Yi left immediately without any room for negotiation, Geng Zhanghua had no idea and said quickly:
"Forget it if you don't go to see my father. Slow down and wait for me! Wait for me to make arrangements."
"hurry up!"
Geng Zhanghua said to Geng Qi: "Go to the Central Army immediately and report to the master. Just say that time is urgent. I will take all the cavalry and Lord Huang's men and set off now.
I also suggested that the infantry led by the old man himself should speed up their march, so that they could march fifty miles a day.
If the master asks why, just tell him that Jiannu is about to run away, so if he goes late, he must have wasted his time. "
"But, the master has been waiting to meet Mr. Huang!"
"You have seen and heard it. That guy is a disrespectful person. Tell the truth when you see him." Geng Zhanghua said angrily.
Seeing that Geng Zhanghua was angry, Geng Qi didn't dare to be nagging anymore and ran away quickly. Of course, he would not take Geng Zhanghua's angry words seriously, and he was thinking about what to say to make the master not angry.
Huang Yi's four hundred subordinates each had two horses, loaded with food, horse supplies, and tents, and then marched at a speed of no less than one hundred miles a day.
After three days of walking, there was a clear difference between Huang Yi's men and Geng Zhanghua's more than 1,300 cavalry.
Everyone was a double-horse, Huang Yi's men and horses were all left behind, and Geng Zhanghua's men lost more than 200 people in three days, leaving only 1,100.
Fortunately, none of his armored servants were lost.
Seeing that there were too many soldiers falling behind, Geng Zhanghua's suggestion to slow down the march was rejected. In the next three days, Huang Yi deliberately walked an extra ten or twenty miles every day.
Facts have proved that after surviving the first three days, many cavalrymen with poor physical strength, poor horse power or simply unwilling to fight left the team.
Even though the march speed was increased in the next three days, fewer people left the team. Geng Zhanghua still had a thousand men.
The seventh day was different again. The team was obviously much slower, and they rode spare horses as much as possible to let the horses bear less weight. They only walked eighty miles a day.
The purpose of this is to regain some horsepower.
This is about two to three hundred miles away from Luanzhou.
Geng Qi, Huang Dazhi, Liu Chuanzong, and Bi Daxi had already begun to look for passing Ming troops or ordinary people to inquire about the military situation.
Geng Zhanghua, as a guerrilla general and a vanguard officer of Xuanda's troops, asked the civilian and military generals in the cities along the way and requested that official documents be forwarded to the Ministry of War.
Guest soldiers have the same rules as guest soldiers. They must report to the prefectures, cities, and counties they pass through. They must also report their movements to the Ministry of War for unified command.
The intelligence collected shows that in the past few days, several groups of troops led by Guan Ning's army have formed a siege of Luanzhou, and heavy artillery has been deployed to siege the city at any time.
After catching up, Huang Yi let out a long breath.
He immediately ordered all the men and horses to camp on the spot and have a good rest, feed the horses carefully, and lead the horses to nibble around as much as possible.
Geng Zhanghua was confused. He was hurrying and hurrying just to be able to join the battle, but he stopped when he was almost at the end of the field.
He asked: "It's only the afternoon, the sun is so high, why don't we go further? We should still be able to walk thirty miles before dark!"
"It is enough for me to know that Jiannu has not escaped yet. The Ming army is not preparing to join the siege and obey Sun Chengzong's command. We are all cavalry and cannot attack the city."
"How can you talk!"
"What's wrong?"
"Supervisor Sun is so virtuous and respected, how can you call him by his first name?"
Huang Yi is not from this era, and of course he does not have the awe that this era should have.
He knew that Sun Chengzong could be called a national hero and worthy of respect.
But this does not mean that Sun Chengzong is a commander capable of fighting.
To be honest, the generals in Liaodong have become warlords and the Liao affairs are deteriorating. He should more or less assume leadership responsibilities.
Moreover, he did not know people well, and Yuan Chonghuan, the first criminal who destroyed the Ming Dynasty, was promoted by him.
Seeing Geng Zhanghua questioning him, he realized something was wrong and quickly said:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Franji is from a small country and doesn't know etiquette. He calls you by his first name. I've long been used to it."
"This habit must be changed!"
"Definitely, definitely. We are not going to report to Governor Sun at this time. Instead, we will spread out our scout cavalry to look for Jiannu's reinforcements or retreating troops, and we will choose a team that can afford the battle."
"This is a really good idea. Alas! Your talent is nothing to say, but your temper and way of speaking are unbearable. It doesn't matter here, but what's the point of meeting Shangguan?"
"That's why I firmly refuse to meet any superior!"
Geng Zhanghua stared at Huang Yi with an expression of hatred for steel, and said angrily:
"It seems you are right. You should definitely stay away from me with your weird temper."
Huang Yi didn't care about Geng Zhanghua's attitude and laughed deliberately:
"Haha, now it's not just me who should hide, you and your thousand men and horses will also have to hide."
Geng Zhanghua rolled his eyes at Huang Yi and said, "I know, isn't it just to catch him by surprise? Where do you think the best place to hide is?"
