But he said that Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu arrived at the military camp, picked up their troops and horses, and rushed out of the city. They crossed the river and rushed towards the Qing army. Of course it was a bluff, but it was useful. The Qing army that was marching in the distance saw this scene and immediately ordered a stop. The army marched in strict formation and sent a small group of soldiers and horses to go and find out.
"Rush over and kill them, and stab them when they are not prepared." Lao Jiu kept muttering next to Jia Waixiong. Chang Yu had repeatedly warned him not to act recklessly when disturbing the enemy.
But these two guys are the kind of guys who are reckless as soon as they get started. When bluffing is not enough, they always want to rush over and fight. Jia Waixiong also thinks about it, really thinks about it, but then he thinks of the little eunuch's advice, and he is tangled in his heart: " Let's forget it, there are only about two thousand Tatars, we don't have heavy armor and if we get entangled with them, we won't be able to escape. I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid of ruining the factory supervisor's plan."
Lao Jiu sighed and said nothing. He looked at a few bright spots not far away that should be the Qing army's scouting horses. He rushed over after hitting the horses. Jia Wai Xiong followed and shouted: "Don't get too close."
It is said that the vanguard of the Qing army was only twenty or thirty miles behind Jia Waixiong, so why did it arrive half a day later? Chang Yu guessed this point again.
After being teased by Chang Yu and scolded by Dorgon, Kangkal's uncle and nephew were furious and vowed to kill all the Ming troops, so they chased him with all their strength. However, he chased with all his strength, but those in front were trying their best to escape, and they were always locked in a stalemate. Ten miles away, after crossing the Yellow River, Kangkal knew that any further pursuit would be futile. Instead, the soldiers and horses were so exhausted that they would not be able to fight back if they were ambushed, so he ordered to move slowly. He took his time and finally saw him in the middle of the night. The lights of Qingzhou City are gone.
The scouting horses in front have discovered that there is a river in the north of Qingzhou City, which is actually the moat of Qingzhou City. Kangkal decided to camp by the river to rest and wait until daybreak to intimidate the garrison in the city to surrender.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the military order was given, I saw a fire dragon rushing out of Qingzhou City. Seeing that it was coming to kill me, I couldn't help but feel panicked. It was so dark. There must be an ambush by the Ming army. Otherwise, why would they be so bold to go out of the city and start fighting?
He quickly ordered the detective horses to investigate around, but found nothing unusual. He felt a little relieved. The fire in the distance had crossed the river, and it was whirring in the southwest direction but not close.
What tricks are you playing again? Recalling that he was tricked by the Ming army on the banks of the Tuhai River, Kangkal's uncle and nephew were a little confused again. If they had seen through hundreds of people during the day, they would have killed them directly. But at this time, it was pitch black everywhere, with the light of fire between them. Diandian didn't know how many people and horses there were in the darkness, so he didn't dare to move.
However, the opponent was shouting randomly from the opposite side, sometimes heading east and sometimes north. Kang Kale had to adjust his formation at any time to deal with it. This made Hetuo a little angry several times, so he had to lead a group of troops to fight and test the depth. Kang Kale Kale was worried that he would be involved in danger, but he also asked his men to lead more than 300 riders to test the water.
The men could not walk more than a hundred meters when they heard the sound of killing. Kangkal's uncle and nephew were shocked. The other party actually started fighting directly and seemed to have a lot of troops. He regretted that he should not have approached late at night. When he was about to withdraw his troops, the front came to report: Tomorrow The army ran away!
What the hell, he ran away! Kang Kale was confused for the first time, and Hetuo shouted, "Chase!"
"No! To prevent fraud!" Kang Kale quickly stopped his eldest nephew, and then analyzed patiently: Think about it, as soon as we arrived at the end of the field, the other party rushed over with a huff, but he only whirred next to him. We killed him, and there were only 300 people, and he ran away with a roar. Do you think it is that simple? If there is no fraud, they are sick and show this to no one.
He Tuo was deeply convinced, and secretly sighed that Jiang was still too old, so he asked his old uncle: "How can we fix it?"
"Back off a few miles to camp, send more exploration horses out, and wait until daybreak." Kang Kale waved his hand and gave the order, but he didn't know that at this moment, a few miles southwest of him at the entrance of the Beiyang River, his nemesis from the Qing Dynasty, the young eunuch, was quietly crossing the river.
The Beiyang River entered the mouth of the mountain with a deep flow. Chang Yu and others went ashore and were soaked to the skin, but they didn't care. They got on their horses and galloped westward along the hillside.
"Isn't it exciting?" Chang Yu asked with a smile, looking at Zhu Cian who looked like a drowned rat next to him. Zhu Cian, who was originally turning blue, grinned when he heard the sound: "It's so exciting, Cian's heart almost jumped out of his chest just now."
Hahaha, Chang Yu laughed. This kind of thing is child's play for him. He has played the more dangerous cross-fire game several times. It's hard for Zhu Cian, the prince of the vassal, not to be frightened and faint. You must know that the Qing army at that time Just a few miles away, if he discovered the clues, the consequences would be disastrous. Although he could not be said to be dead, a bloody battle would be inevitable. At that time, no one could care about whether someone made a mistake or died.
Unexpectedly, before the laughter could reach the ground, Kuang Ren, who was running at the front, suddenly shouted: "There is an enemy situation, prepare for war." However, he saw more than a dozen fires at the foot of the mountain hundreds of meters ahead.
"Horse thieves!" Li Shiyuan quickly came to Chang Yu and raised his hand to point to the hilltop next to him: "This is Mingzu Mountain to the west of Yaowang Mountain. There is a group of horse thieves entrenched here between the two mountains. They are most likely to rob at night... …”
Chang Yu sneered and glanced at Li Shiyuan: "It would be really ironic if the dignified Qingzhou garrison was killed by horse thieves." Li Shiyuan heard the reproachful meaning in the little eunuch's words: "I am humble in my position and failed to suppress the bandits, but I still ask the factory supervisor to punish me."
"Punishment, punishment is of no use at this time. If he doesn't give way to his identity, he will be killed without mercy." Chang Yu angrily rebuked. These days, thieves who join the government do not separate their families. These horse thieves are entrenched not far outside the city. How is it possible that there is a secret relationship? As the leader of the Qingzhou Prefecture's military, those horse thieves naturally know Li Qingshan's name.
If it was daytime or there was no emergency, Chang Yu would definitely kill the thieves, but now that the military situation was urgent, he had no time to deal with these horse thieves, so he asked Li Qingshan to reveal his identity and send the horse thieves away.
By the way, these horse thieves were almost scared to death at this time. They were hiding in the mountains as self-sufficient half-farmers and half-thieves. They rarely heard about things outside the mountains, but today they always felt that something was wrong. The lookout post on the top of the mountain reported that there were people coming and going unknown to Hula outside. What to do.
The leader of the horse thieves was curious, so he sent people out to the mountains to inquire. They said that the Tatar soldiers were coming. The people fled into the mountains. The leader was happy and surprised. After all, the Han people still had conscience in their hearts. When did the Tatars enter the border again? The people of the Ming Dynasty would not suffer. , The good news is that once these people enter the mountains, they will have the goods delivered to their doorsteps.
Unexpectedly, after waiting all afternoon, no goods came to the door. It turned out that the surrounding people knew that there were horse thieves entrenched in these two mountains and never came back. Most of them entered the mountains from the west of Qingzhou City. This made the horse thieves leader very angry, so he gathered his men and prepared to go out to rob the mountain. , but because it was not dark and the Tatars did not come, if he went out at this time, he would not provoke the officers and soldiers in the city to come out to get him, so he waited until dark before coming out.
Unexpectedly, he walked around the surrounding area without encountering Mao. It turned out that as soon as it became dark, the people who were seeking refuge were entering the mountains and entering the city. He was thrown into the air. He was so annoyed that he had to go back to the mountain empty-handed, but at this moment he saw it. They watched the firelight of the Qing army's vanguard in the north for a while at the mountain pass. Suddenly, hundreds of cavalry appeared out of the darkness and rushed towards them. They were so frightened that they almost peed!
"Damn it, you are taking advantage of others. Brother, you have crossed the line. This is the territory of our Erwang Village." The leader of the horse thieves, Guitou, slashed his sword across the area, and the group of people more than ten meters away from Chongzhen shouted.
"Your territory?" Li Shiyuan snorted coldly: "The entire Qingzhou Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of this general, you are nothing."
Forehead! The horse thief was in a panic, officers and soldiers?
"The Tatars have entered the country and the people have left their homes and you are still taking advantage of the chaos to loot, but you still have humanity!" Li Shiyuan shouted angrily: "If I hadn't been on official business and couldn't suppress you, get out of here!"
"But Li Shiyuan and General Li." The horse thief's brain was also very fast. Li Shiyuan was the only one in Qingzhou Prefecture who could call himself a general, and he was the only one who could look upright in the face of the horse thief.
"Get out of here if you know it!" Li Shiyuan yelled angrily.
"Thank you." The leader of the horse thief clasped his fists, turned around and shouted for everyone to leave. It seems that Li Shiyuan is really famous and has a wide reputation in Qingzhou, or maybe the horse thief saw that the other party has a lot of people, since the officers and soldiers want to let him go. Well, why should I fight and lose both sides? It's meaningless.
"His Royal Highness, look how majestic Li Shoubei is." Li Shiyuan negotiated with the horse thieves in the front, and the young eunuch joked from behind: "If the prince comes forward, will those horse thieves be more face-saving?"
Zhu Cian's face was filled with excitement. Chang Yu couldn't help being dumbfounded when he saw that he was ready to make a move. He coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, it's better not to think about good things. If the other party knows your identity, they might immediately fight with each other."
Why, the silly and sweet Zhu Cian was puzzled. Could it be that his reputation as the heir apparent of Prince Heng's Mansion was not worth Li Shiyuan's small defense?
"If it were normal, I would have laughed it off, but at this moment, I would have to rob the crown prince into the mountain to knock King Heng off for a sum of money." Chang Yu said with a smile. Zhu Ci'an was startled: "He is not afraid of his father's wrath and sent troops into the mountain to destroy him."
Big baby, Chang Yu sighed inwardly. At this time, Li Shiyuan had finished negotiating and rode over: "The factory governor's horse thieves have retreated... When this battle is over, I will humbly go into the mountain to suppress this group of horse thieves."
Chang Yu smiled: "Go into the mountain to suppress the bandits? It's easier said than done. You know better than the governor, otherwise, why would the bandits be allowed to sleep soundly beside the bed?" He glanced at Zhu Cian again: "The bandits caused chaos and the emperor was so angry that he sent orders to the world. The soldiers and horses suppressed the bandits, but now... bandits are everywhere." After saying that, he walked away, leaving Zhu Cian with a face of shame, and Li Shiyuan looking up to the sky and sighing.
