I saw another cavalry scattered from the direction of Yaozhou Post, and it was near the city of Gaizhou and went to meet with Jianlu Tanma, who had been scattered outside the city.

Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but frown and thought to himself: Could it be that the war in Yaozhouyi was at a critical moment, and the slave chief was afraid that reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty would catch him off guard, so he sent additional troops to supervise a radius of hundreds of miles?

If this is the case, it means that Jianlu must have the advantage in Yaozhouyi, otherwise the slave chief would not have had extra troops to send out.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly became nervous. The safety of the Holy Lord was the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty. Although he believed that with the emperor's ability to command troops, he should be fine, but he could not withstand the scene that happened in front of him!

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but linger on the head of Gaizhou City, and he couldn't hold on to his mind.

According to his original intention, since the Yaozhouyi war was at a critical moment and the Ming Dynasty was still at a disadvantage, then Lu Xiangsheng should have all the troops from Gaizhou. Even if Gaizhou does not defend, he should have reinforced the Yaozhouyi war!

However, when Emperor Chongzhen was leaving, he had a strict order to let Lu Xiangsheng guard Gaizhou well, so there was no need to worry about Yaozhou Post. If he sent troops privately, it would be that he would not obey the order.

Emperor Chongzhen was the emperor he respected the most. Lu Xiangsheng could never do anything that he refused to obey the order. However, if he really followed the order, would he just watch and wait for the battle in Yaozhou Post to decide the victory or defeat? If the Ming Dynasty really lost, the victory or defeat would be the beginning of the great disaster!

Another reason why Lu Xiangsheng hesitated was that he did not have a cavalry in his hands. All those who stayed in Gaizhou City were infantry. If he wanted to rush to Yaozhou Post 60 miles away under the harassment of the Jianlu Cavalry, it would definitely take more than two days. If Jianlu blocked it, it would be even more unknown how many days would it take. Whether the reinforcements from Gaizhou were useful is also an unknown number!

Lu Xiangsheng was wandering, his pace became more and more urgent, and in his mind, two thoughts were fighting each other.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned to look outside the city. His eyes were firm and he shouted sternly: "Come here, I will pass on my military order..."

His personal guard was originally concerned about his abnormal behavior, so as soon as he spoke, the personal guard immediately stepped forward and held his fists and waited for his order.

But after waiting for a while, Lu Xiangsheng still couldn't speak. He was a little curious and looked up, but saw the Governor looking out of the city with a look of astonishment.

So the personal guards also turned around and looked out of the city, and he was stunned.

I saw that in the distance outside the city, the Jianli who had just passed by, after they met with the Jianli who were provoking the horses, were talking and laughing, as if they were very harmonious. But suddenly, they drew their swords and started fighting.

Lu Xiangsheng had always had good eyesight, but after a while, he understood. Later, the Jianlu suddenly attacked, and the number of people was large, and he cut most of the Jianlu's horses to the ground. Jianlu's horses, who survived, were immediately besieged and could not escape.

"Why did you fight with me?" Lu Xiangsheng stretched out his hand and stroked his long beard subconsciously, frowned and said to himself.

When his guard heard this, he came back to his senses, and then he guessed excitedly, "Can't that be it that our Ming army soldiers pretended to be?"

"No!" Lu Xiangsheng shook his head immediately when he heard this, and vetoed it, "I can see clearly that those are the Tartars, not our Ming soldiers!"

That's strange, why did Jianlu suddenly fight in his nest?

Just when they were not sure what was going on, a hurrying footsteps came, but the rotating officer from the other side came to report that he found that there was an internal struggle in the Jianlu outside the city and started fighting himself.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was surprised again and asked about the situation. Finally, he found that it was the same as what he saw here. Both of them were the Jianlu who came later and suddenly attacked and attacked the original Jianlu who was probing the horse.

If the Jianlu suddenly had an internal conflict in one place, it might be that they suddenly had a fierce conflict, which was possible. However, the same situation in other places is the same now, then it is definitely not a coincidence, but that the Jianlu later had absolutely problems. Maybe it was ordered to kill the original Jianlu's striking horse.

But, this seems to make no sense!

While Lu Xiangsheng was wondering, he heard someone from his subordinates report: "Sir, Jianlu is here!"

When he heard this, he looked up and saw that there was a Jianlu in the direction where he was fighting just now. He did not carry any swords, guns, bows, arrows, etc., and even hung his helmet on the horse, holding his hands to drive the horse over. Obviously, there was something to say.

So Lu Xiangsheng ordered not to shoot arrows, and then looked at the Jianlu curiously, wondering what the man wanted to say?

I saw the Jianlu jumping closer and closer. I could see clearly. I found that there was a head hanging around his waist, and blood was dripping along the way. Needless to say, this head should be those Jianlu who were probing the horse.

The man stopped until the edge of the moat, then looked up at the top of the city and shouted loudly in the Ming Dynasty's Mandarin with an accent: "Brothers, comrades-in-law, we are here to wipe out the Jurchen provocateurs according to the will of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. After hurting several brothers, can we send people to treat them?"

When he heard this, the city suddenly became extremely quiet: According to the order of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, come to wipe out the Jurchen detective?

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses, and shouted loudly: "I am the Governor of Baoding. If I am expected, you are from the Mongolian people in the eastern region, and there is no one waiting for the army led by the emperor."

Hearing this, the Ming soldiers on the top of the city came to their senses and nodded. They didn't know the Jianlu outside the city. Even if they were pretending, they should have just cut their hair into a rat tail of money, but looking at the forehead, it didn't seem to be rigid!

Thinking of this, the Ming army soldiers wanted to shout and expose the fact that this man wanted to trick his fellow comrades from Gaizhou from the city.

But at this moment, the man slapped his forehead and seemed to come back to his senses. Then he shouted to the city: "Governor General? The war in Yaozhou Post ended, all the Jurchens fled, and all the other tribes surrendered. But the emperor had an order that those who surrendered must have the heads of the Jurchens to become real Ming soldiers. Otherwise, they would be military slaves and could only be transformed into real Ming soldiers after three years!"

Speaking of this, in order to show that his words are credible, he untied the head that was hanging, held it high and said loudly: "Look, the villain has already seized a Jurchen head. The villain is already a real Ming army soldier!"

His words made the city of Gaizhou quiet for a while.

Although this person may be lies, the head in his hand is real, they saw it with their own eyes, and it is impossible for it to be false. In this way, it can be said that the person is the truth.

After thinking about this, a fanatical cheer sounded from the city wall.

"The Ming Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"

"Long live the emperor!"

“…”

Lu Xiangsheng also smiled. It seemed that he was really worried. Thinking about it, the emperor was wise and powerful. Every time he fought, he was invincible and could defeat him. Since he was about to leave, the emperor was sure to fight a good war, why should he be so worried? Didn’t he have any confidence in the emperor?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed!

In Lu Xiangsheng's view, not only was there a head proof, but the series of unreasonable aspects I just saw were all reasonable explanations, including the arrangements for these surrendered soldiers, which also conformed to Lu Xiangsheng's understanding of Emperor Chongzhen. Therefore, he had just confirmed that the person outside the city was true.

So he waved his hand and ordered his personal guards to carry the injured into the city for treatment. At the same time, he also called the man outside the city to come in, and he had something to ask in person.

"The war in Yaozhouyi is very tragic, right?" Lu Xiangsheng's first question asked what he was most concerned about, "I don't know what the emperor is, and what are the casualties of our army?"

"..." As for his first question, he asked the man speechlessly.

Tragic? The casualties of the Ming army? What are these and what are they?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but feel nervous. His relaxed expression just now suddenly became serious and asked quickly: "Why, the casualties are heavy? The emperor should be fine, right?"

Hearing this, the man came to his senses and couldn't help but show a laughing and crying expression on his face, looking at the misunderstanding.

However, the person in front of him was the governor of Baoding of the Ming Dynasty. He did not dare to neglect him. He quickly calmed down and immediately reported seriously: "Return to the governor, for the Ming army... our army has not fought much at all. For Jianlu, there are indeed heavy casualties. Now the only one who escapes back is the Jurchens..."

The more I heard it, the more strange it became, and Lu Xiangsheng wondered. This war was equivalent to a decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Jianlu. No matter what, there must be a fierce war, right? However, this man said that he didn't fight much at all, and Jianlu suffered heavy casualties. Could it be that the emperor was sprinkling beans into soldiers, so the official army just watched the show and did not fight much?

As soon as this thought came out, Lu Xiangsheng drove him away again. As a last resort, he asked the man to explain the whole story in detail.

This person has limited knowledge, so he told the story from his perspective. It is inevitable that he will have some differences from the facts, and some places are exaggerated. However, in front of Lu Xiangsheng, he can also see the details. After analyzing the situation he has mastered, he roughly understood how the emperor defeated Jianlu.

When Lu Xiangsheng understood this, he couldn't help but exclaim. He was sure that the emperor's several wars, including this one, would become classic examples of wars in later generations and were mentioned by later generations.

Let me ask, in the past, when there was a small battle with more, there was such a big victory in the battle loss ratio?

It is said that the war of Qi Jiguang, the general of this dynasty, had the lowest war loss ratio in all dynasties. However, now, the emperor has shown his talent in leading troops to fight. The position of the lowest war loss ratio must be the emperor! What kills three thousand enemies and loses himself by 800, does not exist in the emperor at all.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng felt very ashamed when he remembered that he had fought the Battle of Pyongyang! In that battle, he destroyed the Dongjiang Army, and it was a loss for the emperor to replenish his troops and pay. It took him more than a year to recover some vitality.

Lu Xiangsheng thought about this and turned to look outside the city. Suddenly, he felt that the sky and the earth had become more friendly. In the future, this place will return to the Ming Dynasty!

The emperor's strategy of removing firewood from the cauldron was very successful, and he cut off the Jianlu's granary in an instant. Even if Jianlu escaped many people, this winter would definitely be a disaster for them!

Next, I should not use troops anymore and just wait for the flowers to bloom next spring. Lu Xiangsheng is confident about this.

Sure enough, in the evening, Emperor Chongzhen's decree was passed to Gaizhou, asking him to prepare, settle the surrendered soldiers, and eliminate the remaining Liaodong Jianlu, and I will talk about it later next year. In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also wanted to train his troops and ask him to notify the navy and prepare to transport troops back to the capital.

…………

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was more brain-related than during the war.

In ancient times, the most fear of fighting was a labor force. It was not that the soldiers were tired, but that the supply of food and supplies was difficult. At this time, the food transported to the destination was probably not as much as it was consumed on the road. Shipping was better, but it also consumed a lot of food, and was worried about the problem of shipwrecks, etc.

Therefore, in ancient times, millions of troops and other troops were simply nonsense, and they did not have such high logistical capabilities, which could ensure the supply of food and supplies for millions of troops.

Moreover, every time I look at ancient wars, the food road is often the most deadly. For example, the Wuchao War in the Battle of Guandu was a decisive battle. In the Songjin War in the original history, the Ming army of Hong Chengchou was eventually defeated by Jianlu because the food road was cut off.

If it weren't for the limitations of the problem of food and grass, Emperor Chongzhen was certainly willing to "take the remaining courage to pursue the poor enemy", so he could recover Liaodong in one battle. However, the food was limited, and the front line continued to advance, the food and grass consumption would be even greater. Liaodong, an already barren place, was basically difficult to see even wild vegetables and could not be replenished on the spot under the attack of his previous strategy.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen could only return to Beijing first.

The cavalry camp sent to pursue Jianlu had already paid off, saying that Jianlu had burned Haizhou and retreated directly to Anshan Yibao.

Emperor Chongzhen already knew about this news by eavesdropping on the news that he fed back from seeds. Therefore, he was not surprised and quickly responded, leaving about 5,000 cavalry camps to station in Liaodong. Following Lu Xiangsheng's command, the other troops all returned to Beijing.

"Oh, it's just a pity that a Class A eavesdropping seed." When leaving Yaozhou Post, Emperor Chongzhen sighed, "This Ajige is so spoiled!"
