Chapter 52 Preparation for the War
"Crack!"
Shang Kexi, the leader, heard the movement and immediately said: "Go and see what's happening ahead?"
"yes!"
When the guard saw the thick tree trunk lying across the road, he immediately turned around and went back to report.
When Shang Kexi heard that the road was blocked, his face darkened. He was about to lead the army to avenge his commander, but now he was inexplicably blocked.
After thinking for a moment, Shang Kexi said, "Let me go and see for myself!"
When he saw a figure standing next to the tree trunk, Shang Kexi immediately asked: "Who is that person?"
Mao Wenlong turned around.
"Mao Shuai!"
Shang Ke was happy to see that Mao Wenlong was still alive, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"Yuanji, where are you going?"
Shang Kexi walked in and confirmed that it was indeed Mao Wenlong and immediately said: "My subordinates think you have been assassinated."
Mao Wenlong said with murderous intent on his face: "I was indeed plotted against."
"Is it Yuan Chonghuan?" Shang Kexi asked.
Mao Wenlong shook his head and told what happened. Shang Kexi heard the last murderous words: "I will kill this thief!"
"Mao Shuai, you have suffered!"
Shang Ke looked at the thin Mao Wenlong happily and said.
Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's first think about how to deal with the matter in front of us!"
Shang Kexi now found the backbone and said with a smile: "As long as Marshal Mao appears, the soldiers in the army will definitely understand the Jurchens' treacherous plot, and then we will kill all the rebels!"
Mao Wenlong raised his hand to stop him and said: "Now that the Jurchens have entered the border, even if the troops in our hands can win the battle by force, we will win miserably. Our brothers really cannot afford such consumption."
"Sir, what should I do now?"
Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment and asked: "How many troops can we control in the army now?"
Shang Kexi thought for a moment and then said: "General Geng has 30,000 troops, and his subordinates still have 20,000 troops. It's just..."
Looking at the squirming Shang Kexi, Mao Wenlong asked: "Tell me, I can bear it!"
"It's just that all the 30,000 troops under General Kong have surrendered to the Jurchens," Shang Kexi said helplessly.
After hearing this, Mao Wenlong was immediately furious: "This Kong Youde dares to be a traitor. I will definitely kill this beast!"
Originally, after the deputy general rebelled, he was put under house arrest by Kong Youde. But what the deputy general didn't expect was that after hearing that he was connected to the Jurchens, he immediately took over his relationship.
He led his troops to join the Taoist Jurchens, and replaced all the defense preparations against the Jurchens with his own people. When the Jurchens attacked, he opened the door wide and let the Jurchens into the city.
When the Jurchens entered the country, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming were helpless. If they hadn't had troops under their command, their lives would have been lost.
When Mao Wenlong heard that he had only 50,000 troops left, he thought for a moment and said, "If Kong Youde is killed, can you control his army?"
"If there are adults who come forward, we can definitely put those Xiaoxiao Town under control!"
After Shang Kexi finished speaking, Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said, "I won't show up for the time being. You will be solely responsible for this matter in person."
"yes!"
"Sir, what should we do now?"
Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said: "Continue to go to Pi Island!"
Mao Wenlong took a military uniform and put it on, and mingled with Shang Kexi's team. Zhao Chengchu, who was in the high mountains, saw this scene and said to the people behind him: "Withdraw!"
Liaodong
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ruts that were getting more and more chaotic away from Shanhaiguan. He frowned and held the weapon in his hand. The people who were secretly guarding him also walked into the light and looked at the people fleeing everywhere.
Erbeile, who was about to leave Shanhaiguan, heard his subordinates reporting to him and immediately said in surprise: "Mongolian cavalry?"
"Haven't they been dispersed? How many people came?"
"Master Beile, there are 20,000 people in total!"
Erbeile frowned immediately when he heard this. How could these mere 20,000 people have the courage to charge towards his 50,000-strong army?
"Keep a close eye on them to see if they are coming for us!" Erbeile ordered.
"twitter!"
"Mongolian cavalry?" Erbeile was still puzzled.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the report from his subordinates, he smiled and said, "Here we come!"
"Very good!"
But in an instant, someone's face changed slightly and asked: "Where is the Ming army?"
"The Ming army has not seen any trace of it yet!"
"What?"
When he heard that there was no sign of the Ming army, Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "What do these people do for food? Others have beaten them to the door of their house, and they are still like a shrunken turtle."
After Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, the long sword in his hand trembled slightly, and finally he gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go!"
Everyone followed Zhu Yuanzhang's movements and turned their horses' heads and were about to leave when they suddenly heard a voice: "Sir, one hundred thousand Ming troops appeared from Changli County and want to go to Shanhaiguan!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately raised his eyebrows and asked: "Really?"
“You can reach Shanhaiguan in less than three days!”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Brothers, come with me to the battle to kill the enemy!"
Yuan Chonghuan looked at the secret in his hand, trembling slightly and said: "God bless me for the Ming Dynasty!"
The secret in his hand was that the 100,000 troops gathered by the imperial court had secretly entered Liaodong. At this moment, Chang Zai rushed to Shanhaiguan. When he saw this, Yuan Chonghuan immediately stood up and asked his guards: "Has the army assembled?"
"Your Majesty, except for the 30,000 troops defending the Dongjiang direction, the other 50,000 troops have been assembled!"
"Follow me into battle and kill the enemy!"
"yes!"
On Pi Island, Shang Kexi met Heshuo Beile Daishan, the leader of the Jurchens. Daishan saw a smile on Shang Kexi's face and said in fluent Chinese: "I have long admired the great name General Shang!"
"Master Beile" Shang Kexi seemed to be lacking in interest, Daishan was not annoyed, but the fingers holding the knife in his hand turned white and he said with a smile: "I already know the reason for General Shang's coming this time, and I will do my best to cooperate!
"
"Then thank you Lord Baylor. I will immediately organize my troops and attack Yuan Chonghuan's lair when I get back!"
Looking at the hatred in Shang Kexi's eyes, Dai Shan nodded and let him go with confidence, and began to notify his 30,000 men to start preparing to attack Liaodong.
In Changli County, a thin figure stood on a white horse, wearing a red cloak and holding a bright silver gun. The team behind him was neat and solemn. He looked at the elite division. The general said: "Order the entire army to speed up the march.
!”
The voice is a little soft but still sonorous and powerful.
The messenger immediately rushed down to deliver the general's order.
