Chao Xing did not chase after him, but just slowed down the process and rushed slowly. He knew that if he chased him, he would only drag down the soldiers' bodies. According to the count, there were less than a thousand people taken away by Boyan Bell. There is no big storm, so it's okay to let him die in the world. What's more, there are fewer people in Boyan Bell now, unlike the ones who are as easy to find as before. These thousand people are scattered into the desert. It's hard to find it like a rock sinks to the sea.
Chao Xing ordered a rest and waited for Zhen Lingdan to lead the army to make plans after replenishing supplies. Boyan Bell could not be in the desert for the rest of his life. The desert oasis was only a few, far apart, and there were many dangers in the middle and could not support it. How long does a thousand people take? So Boyan Bell will definitely go to the town at the end of the desert to find life. You only need to wait for the arrival of the Ming army and search the towns further west one by one. You will definitely be able to capture this thief. Anyway, Boyan Bell will not go to heaven. If you enter the ground, you must capture him back. This determination to implement the entire army without wavering.
Zhen Lingdan's army also advanced very quickly. Coincidentally, he actually used the same marching method as Zhu Jianwen pursued the remaining Oirat army and marched alternately. The difference was that he used camels to pull people. In short, in this way Although there are many people under the marching efficiency, the marching speed has not slowed down.
Although such a marching method is fast and the soldiers are not suffering, they can get good rest and maintain sufficient combat effectiveness, but the requirements are not low. The number of first people is enough, and the number of people is small. This method cannot reflect how fast the speed is, but it is not as fast as ordinary people. The rush is simple. Secondly, you must be rich enough to afford livestock and carts corresponding to the number of large soldiers. Thirdly, the spirit of the soldiers must be noble. After all, this is a pursuit. No matter how comfortable it is, it is only relative. This method of combining work and rest is easier to make people lazy. Although this will maintain combat effectiveness, morale and inner self may not be able to maintain a complete victory. Therefore, morale must be strong and the spirit of soldiers must be noble and straightforward.
These three points are nothing to Zhen Lingdan. He took over Chao Xing who was resting in place. The two continued to march eastward with a smile. Zhen Lingdan smiled and said to Chao Xing: "That day I was napping, and I thought it was the enemy's remnants attacking, but I knew it was your good news. I was so happy. After you chased me, Boyan Bell was seriously injured. It would be difficult to turn over. Now.”
Chao Xing looked at the red sun and said, "Why should we mention a poem to suit the situation? You and I are both veterans, so I will say that old man talks about the young man and say, "What do you think?"
"No, you must be unique when doing it, let me think about it." Zhen Lingdan was not good at writing and writing. She lowered her head and pondered for a moment and smiled: "Just take the title of "I received you that day's great victory, and her name is Qingchao." The general defeated the Fanman."
Zhen Lingdan did not wait for Chao Xing to answer and then sang: "The red sun has not yet fallen and sleeps inside. The horse is neighing and singing in the morning. She drew her sword out of the camp and flute bulged up, and she primitively stepped through the northern pass." This poem was written in one go, although it was flawed. It includes the straightforward and generous personality of veteran Zhen Lingdan, and the joy of Chao Xing's pursuit. In short, it is full of the style of golden swords and iron horses, and it is also remarkable in the text.
Chao Xing clapped his hands and praised the two veterans, talking and laughing, and continuing to rush towards the city to the west. The marching plan was that there was no plan. In a group of 30,000 people, they divided into twenty cities to find Boyan Bell. Facing such an iron army, Which small country that is not open to the eyes dares to take in the unfamiliar defeated general Boyan Bell?
In the middle of May of the fourth year of Tianshun, Central Plains,
Qu Xiangtian was once again blocked by the army from Nanjing, and the Miao Gu lineage also led the Miao people into the Han Dynasty to help with the war. Since ancient times, the Miao people have not been subject to discipline and are mostly strong and happy people. It is rare to not go against the Han people. The rebellion is rarely heard of, but now this result must have been carried out under the instruction of Tan Qing. Qu Xiangtian discovered that there are more and more troops on the west and south roads, and it is difficult to break through the encirclement. It is very unfavorable to waste it here, and it is not as good as soldiers. Taking a dangerous move, Qu Xiangtian gave up his original plan and began to walk backwards.
As a result, Lu Yunzhi was quite caught off guard. He didn't expect Qu Xiangtian to march in the northeast direction that drove him away. He was also a little busy for a while. In short, the plan was completely disrupted. Lu Yunzhi I couldn't help but sigh in secret that Qu Xiangtian was indeed a military genius. Although he had arranged for a long time to encircle Qu Xiangtian, Qu Xiangtian pointed to the east and west, not busy running around but headed to the hinterland with many soldiers, so it was so easy to take. That resolved Lu Yunzhi's next careful plan.
Most of the Ming army under Lu Yunzhi's troops were squeezed in the northeast, and now Qu Xiangtian has squeezed in again. Although the Ming army has a large number of people in the northeast, it is because there are too many people, so it is not as good as the southwest. The troops were deployed in batches to block them, and now they were all entangled. There was no other way to give full play to the advantage of the number of people. They bullied Qu Xiangtian, and the surround was slowly shrinking and surrounded without gaps. They used the tactic of the sea of people to swallow Qu Xiangtian. ,
This seemed to be more beneficial to Lu Yunzhi. There were no reinforcements in the south of Qu Xiangtian, and the troops led by Qin Rufeng were destroyed. Qu Xiangtian had only a team of more than 20,000 people in his hands, but Qu Xiangtian was good at Fighting a battle with fewer people will lead to more enemies. The more enemies there are, the more they will inspire his fighting spirit. What's more, Lu Yunzhi knows that fighting is not a fight, nor is it possible to win if there are too many people. Once you lose slightly, that is the real thing. The defeat is like a mountain of fall, and the loss is great just trampling.
In July of the fourth year of Tianshun, Qu Xiangtian defeated Zhu Jianwen's troops and entered the Shandong territory again between Yanzhou Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture, intending to go north to take the capital. Lu Yunzhi hurriedly ordered Zhu Jianwen to withdraw the capital and set up defenses, because in addition to Apart from Lu Yunzhi himself, few people can compete with Zhu Jianwen to defend.
Although he was still worried about Zhu Jianwen, Lu Yunzhi knew that Zhu Jianwen had no longer had the decisiveness of his youth as he grew older. He completely became a politician or a conspirator. He had to plan everything carefully. It was this point that made Lu Yunzhi feel relieved. Now is not the best time for Zhu Jianwen. If he cooperated with Qu Xiangtian, even if Lu Yunzhi fell, Zhu Jianwen would not be able to ascend to the position of great treasure. Zhu Jianwen knew that if compared with Qu Xiangtian, his force and strategy were insufficient. Now he could only endure it. If he didn't make a sound, he would make a big splash.
After the Mongolian invasion, Qu Xiangtian rebelled and tried his best to consume Lu Yunzhi's strength. Although Lu Yunzhi was more terrifying to Zhu Jianwen, Qu Xiangtian was not a vegetarian. If two tigers fight, one will die and one will be injured. When the victorious energy is severely damaged, it is the day when Zhu Jianwen can make his debut.
Zhu Jianwen himself understood this truth, and Lu Yunzhi also understood it, so Zhu Jianwen tacitly retreated to the capital, and lowered the defense line south of Shuntian Prefecture, waiting for Qu Xiangtian to arrive. Zhu Jianwen did not rush to enter the capital to defend. The action expressed loyalty to Lu Yunzhi, because Lu Yunzhi is still not something he can compete with now.
